While Chen Xing was talking on the phone with several women, two groups of people on each side were confronting each other with guns in King's Square.
The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder, and the atmosphere was extremely tense, as if it was about to explode.
"Mr. Huang, we are all brothers in the trenches, there is no need to make trouble like this!"
The person shouting from a distance was the legion commander of the Royal City Guards, Marquis Garfield Victor, and the person he was shouting to was the legion commander of the Dragon Scale Guards, Marquis Huang Fenglie.
"Don't you know why this happened?" Huang Fenglie shouted to Garfield on the opposite side, "As imperial guards, you did not fulfill your duty to protect your family and country, but you came here to participate in the previous court. The rebellion of the party members, do you still remember the oath you made back then!"
"I, Victor, have never forgotten this in my life!" Garfield responded loudly, "Marquis Huang Fenglie, do you still remember who cultivated you and promoted you? Do you still remember!"
"As human ministers, the most important thing for us is to repay our kindness!"
"His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is the true heir to the Malan royal family and the new king appointed by the old king!"
"You and I work together to welcome the return of the true king. This is the way to be a loyal minister!"
Garfield spoke impassionedly and every word was sonorous. The Dragon Scale Guard soldiers lowered their heads and seemed a little shaken.
Huang Fenglie puffed up his chest and responded loudly, "I, Huang Fenglie, have never forgotten the kindness of the late king!"
"But I have never forgotten that I am a soldier!"
"The duty of a soldier is to defend the country and protect the people. It is not to fight for power or gain, nor to participate in palace or factional struggles!"
"What's more, the queen obtained her right to rule through aristocratic law. To be honest, the queen is the legal ruler of Ice Blue City!"
Huang Feng's fierce voice was like a loud bell, carrying an awe-inspiring righteousness. The Dragon Scale Guards who had lowered their heads and were a little shaken all raised their chests.
"Mr. Huang, why are you so stubborn!" Garfield shouted angrily, "Now even the children in the kindergarten know that the person on the throne does not have a trace of Malan royal blood!"
"Are we going to tell lies with our eyes open and turn a blind eye to the facts and truth!"
"Garfield, you are the one who is really stubborn!" Huang Fenglie shouted back, "What the country and the people need is peace!"
"Seeing that the war is almost over, you have set off new disputes, one after another. In the end, it is this country and millions of people who are injured!"
"I still remember that the Dragon Scale Guard's oath is to protect Ice Blue City, not which family or individual!"
The loud voice echoed in the square and could not disperse for a long time.
Then the square fell into silence. Both sides have their own reasons and are equally matched. No one can occupy the moral high ground.
The atmosphere was still solemn, and the soldiers on both sides held their breath and waited for their respective commanders to speak.
After a long silence, Garfield, who was slightly younger than Huang Fenglie, was the first to break the silence.
"It seems we have no way to convince each other today," Garfield sighed.
He paused and then said, "Although"
"We have different positions, but don't forget that we are all soldiers of this country."
"The love of the emperor and the righteousness of brothers, there is no reason for us to kill each other."
"So, I propose"
"We each returned to the camp. In terms of combat power, we canceled each other out."
"Can!"
Garfield's proposal was immediately agreed by Huang Fenglie. The Royal City Guards and the Dragon Scale Guards are equally powerful, and no one can get an advantage in a fight. There is a high probability that both sides will suffer losses and both will perish.
Therefore, both sides were very restrained. After the legion commander gave the order, they left the King's Square at the same time, retreated to their respective camps, and stayed behind closed doors.
At this time, there were only two troops stationed in the Ice Blue City Palace, the Black Prison Guards and the Garrison Army, totaling less than 30,000 people.
Aqiaomu, Guihu, Bai Yeliufang and other core personnel gathered in the parliament hall, all with frowns on their faces when facing the incoming army.
"What did the Prime Minister say?"
"He said he was on his way back."
"Where is the Fourth Prince?"
"We've reached the suburbs!"
"Aren't they going to plant a flag and declare war?" Zhang Chunmei said in surprise.
According to war practices, not to mention the capital of the kingdom like Ice Blue City, even the royal city cannot be attacked directly.
"They won't wait!" Bai Ye Liufang explained, "The time limit for planting flags and declaring war is twenty-four hours. Delaying time will be beneficial to us, so they won't wait."
"Can we just sit here and wait for death?" Li Rou asked. As a mercenary, she habitually thought of oiling the soles of her feet.
"What are you thinking!" Ghost Fox patted Li Rou heavily on the shoulder, "Don't you know the Prime Minister's methods?"
Li Rou shuddered and denied repeatedly, "No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I never thought about becoming a deserter."
Bo Na lowered her head and whispered, "I want to call my brother."
"Cheer up a bit," Bai Ye Liufang advised, "The enemy hasn't invaded yet."
"What you said is easy." Li Rou disagreed, "We are not like you. We are of noble birth. We are defeated and redeemed by others. We can only be sold as meat slaves!"
There was a sour taste in Li Rou's words. Bai Ye Liufang is the princess of Bai Ye Principality. Even if she is defeated and captured, the other party will not embarrass his daughter too much for the sake of Duke Bai Ye. They were different. They were from humble backgrounds and were the Queen's minions. They were covered in blood and debt. Once they fell into the hands of the enemy, they would definitely be tortured to death. Even if he could survive, it would be in the dark.
"I am now the Prime Minister's woman, and the fate of being captured will not be much better than yours." Bai Ye Liufang comforted, and then asked, "Don't you have so little confidence in the Prime Minister?"
Everyone was silent for a while, and Zhang Chunmei replied, "To be honest, it's not that we have no confidence in the Prime Minister, but that we have no confidence in the current situation."
"The enemy has already arrived at the door of our house. Your sister is still thousands of miles away, and there is no chance of her coming back. Our main force is in Xiaoyue, and the Prime Minister does not have a single soldier in his hands. Even if he can use the northern troops, it will not be possible in time. It’s too late.”
Zhang Chunmei sighed, "Unless a miracle happens, I really can't think of any way."
After the words fell, everyone fell silent. What Zhang Chunmei said was reasonable and reasonable, and there was no room for argument. Even if Chen Xing had three heads and six arms, it would be impossible for him to create a team out of thin air that could withstand the National Defense Army.
Half an hour later, the army marched into the city in a mighty manner.
The metal tracks pressed across the asphalt road, and the machine's big feet stepped on the flowerbed. Countless armed figures passed by in the streets and alleys.
The Protectorate Army marched straight in without encountering any resistance on the way. They entered the city directly and approached the palace step by step.
"Kind and loyal citizens, we are not a foreign army, but the national defense army that inherits the kingdom's orthodoxy."
"Please stay at home, close the windows and doors, and wait for the return of the true king!"
The loudspeaker installed on the armored vehicle continuously broadcasts the news of the return of the fourth prince to the residents along the way.
The city under his helpless rule was in a state of chaos, and his power was greatly challenged. Trilis could no longer sit still on the throne of the candlelight hall.
She summoned the crimson armor and the blood chariot. She held a large lance and a battle sword in her two iron hands. She was about to burst out of the air and kill everyone. The butler Abel on the side kept discouraging her.
"My Queen, you must not do it, you must not do it!"
"Little princess, my little princess, listen to what I say, don't be impulsive!"
The old butler Abel was so anxious that he was sweating, fearing that Triris would rush out and kill her. In desperation, she even called Triris her childhood name.
Abel watched Cuillis grow up and spent more time with her than his biological father and mother. He had a deep relationship with her. It could even be said that he was the person who cared about Cuillis the most in the world.
The king does not see the king, the king does not see the blood, the king has no jokes.
The king's declaration is by no means a decoration, but an iron law forged with countless blood and sacrifices.
Once the contract is broken, it will be besieged by the most powerful people in the world. So far, at least three supreme beings have fallen because of violating the king's declaration, and all ended up being betrayed by their relatives and annihilated among all living beings.
No matter how strong a person is, he cannot fight against all mankind. As long as you have this idea, you will destroy yourself.
The Human Survival Committee can tolerate the small flaws, small quirks, and small emotions of a supreme powerhouse. It is not a problem to occasionally kill hundreds or even thousands of people, but the bottom line is that it cannot violate the king's declaration!
This is the bottom line, an insurmountable existence.
Unless someone has the ability to unite one-third of the supreme powerhouses, it is possible to challenge this authority. But if such a large-scale king battle occurs, there is no need to decide the winner, because before that, the red earth world has been destroyed first.
"What declarations and rules, I don't care!"
"This is something I exchanged for twenty years of youth, and I will never give it to anyone else!"
Cuilisi's eyes were filled with scarlet bloodshot eyes, and purple electricity was running around her body, erupting with an earth-shattering momentum. The glazed windows on the top could not withstand the overwhelming pressure and exploded one after another, shattering into fragments of stars in the sky.
"If you want to take it away from me, just dream!"
"unless"
"Step over my dead body!"
"Even if I destroy this city and kill everyone, I won't let anyone take it away!"
Along with the crazy declaration, the energy field surged again, the surrounding space was distorted visibly to the naked eye, and a huge energy storm swept through the entire hall.
The candles that had been extinguished long ago were torn into powder, and all visible furniture and curtains were blown away and shattered in the hurricane.
"My Queen, no, no!" Abel shouted loudly despite the storm, trying to bring back Triris's sanity.
But everything was in vain, Cuilisi became more and more violent, huge space cracks opened in the air, and countless armored chariots leaned out.
"Come on, let me see the limit of this world!"
The corners of Trilis' lips curved, her voice was low and playful, but her spirit became increasingly crazier.
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Abel suddenly realized something. A bright light flashed in his mind and he hurriedly reminded, "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is not back yet!"
When Chen Xing was mentioned, Cuilisi instantly regained some of her senses. She was slightly startled, and the energy storm also stagnated.
Seeing that the situation was improving, Abel immediately struck while the iron was hot and asked, "Perhaps the Prime Minister has some plan to defeat the enemy?"
"You see, the problems we have been unable to solve were solved as soon as he came. Now the South is almost unified."
"No matter what decision the Queen wants to make, she should at least wait until the Prime Minister comes back, don't you think?"
With Abel's persuasion, the raging energy storm gradually calmed down.
"Why should we push the responsibilities that should be borne by adults to children?" Triris sighed, seeming a little intolerant.
"Uh" Abel almost couldn't lift it up in one breath, thinking to himself that if Chen Xing was a child, he would be almost thirty years old.
"My Queen, think about it. If you go out now, you will be relieved. But when the Prime Minister comes back, he will feel that you don't respect him and treat him as the Prime Minister."
"On such a big matter, you don't discuss it with him first before making a decision on your own. Do you think he will feel that you don't have him in your heart at all?"
Abel spoke seriously, and Cuillis nodded thoughtfully, "Yeah."
As if enlightened, she looked up at the dome, thought for a moment, faced Abel, and said sincerely, "Abel, thank you for reminding me, otherwise I would have made a mistake again this time."
"If you're not careful, you'll make my baby unhappy again." Triris murmured.
"Yes, yes" Abel echoed from the side, saying anything as long as it could calm the queen down.
