July 2, 8 o'clock in the morning.
Countless printed newspapers and flags of the Church of Truth were loaded onto the train, and together with the newly trained monks of the Church of Truth, they traveled along the railway to various cities and towns in the Romanov Kingdom. At the same time, the troops stationed in the areas around Mosk Quickly gathering, a solemn atmosphere gathered over the entire city, and the people realized that something seemed to be happening.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, Christopher and Salina flew to Petersburg with the help of Jie Lan and several other vampire members.
At 10 o'clock, many cats suddenly appeared on the street, walking in groups through the streets and alleys, heading straight to the noble manor in the suburbs.
At 11 o'clock, Edward and Bodelinov led several soldiers into a hotel and captured the Wisdom cult monks hiding inside.
At noon, Onufri, Raffl, Makarov and other generals came to the Kremlin.
"Onufri, you lead the cavalry to block the railway south of the Volga River and suspend all trains. Rafl, you are responsible for the direction of Kiev. Makarov, Goffman..."
In the splendid Georgiev Hall, Katerina began to arrange a blockade. She agreed with Mavey's idea. Once a coup was launched, many nobles would inevitably flee with funds. If it were just nobles, Katerina would still They won't go to war, but the assets they carry belong to the Romanov Kingdom and must not be leaked.
When coups break out in various places, Mosk's army must block the main railways and intercept the aristocratic faction who want to escape.
"Your Highness, what if the noble faction escapes from Petersburg or by sea?" Makarov asked: "There is no army of ours near the royal capital."
"As for the sea route, I have asked Yakov and the others to block the coastline. As for the situation in the royal capital, there is no need to worry." Katerina said: "The noble faction has five armies in their hands. They will not escape easily, and Archbishop Henry Nor will they be allowed to escape before the situation is completely clear."
As the supreme commanders of the five armies, Duke Ivanovich, Duke of Tbilisi and others are crucial. If even they escape, then the Wisdom Cult alone will not be able to completely control the army, so Archbishop Henry Only then would they threaten the family members of the noble sect with personal papers to force them to support the Wisdom Religion.
Even if you want to evacuate, you should wait until the winner is determined, rather than fleeing as soon as the coup begins.
"Your Highness, what should my father and the others do?" Goffman, who has always had no doubts about Katerina's decision, asked: "The military nobles have already chosen to support you, Your Highness, and you have also promised to ensure that my father and the others will be safe." Safety...."
"The domestic railway is not closed to traffic. There are still nearly two days before the coup begins. You can send someone to notify the military nobles and ask them to come to Mosk as quickly as possible. They will be safe here."
"yes!"
"Everyone, in order to avoid accidental injuries, after the coup broke out, all soldiers were ordered to tie a red rope on their left arm. It is the symbol of the Church of Truth. Anyone who encounters soldiers or nobles who do not tie the red rope, do not hesitate to shoot them immediately!"
"As you command!"
In the evening, Christopher, Salina and others arrived in Petersburg. With the help of Cat, they successfully arrived at the manor where Duke Ivanovich lived.
The manor has been deserted, with only a few guards patrolling. The interior of the villa is empty. Duke Ivanovich is sitting alone in the living room, holding a bottle of strong wine in his hand, his face covered with new stubble. He looks completely different from the one he had just a short time ago.
Jielan took Christopher and Selina directly to the balcony of the villa. When he heard the door opening behind him, Duke Yinvanovich turned around, glanced at the faces of Selina and others, and asked coldly: " What are you doing here?"
He recognized Salina and Christopher. They had joined the Church of Truth half a year ago, and their information had long been placed on the desk of the Noble Faction.
"Your Excellency, where is the abdication edict written by Paul I?" Christopher asked directly, knowing that time was running out.
Duke Yinvanovich pointed to the safe on the wall, and just as he was about to tell the password, he saw Jielan step forward and forcefully pull open the iron cabinet door with a heart-wrenching twisting sound.
"found it."
Jielan took out the parchment stored in the safe, confirmed that it was stamped with the king's seal, and handed it to Selina.
After receiving the abdication decree, Christopher did not leave immediately. If it was just for the abdication decree, Ma Wei would not have made a special trip for him and Salina. He would have just sent Jielan and the others, and asked them to come here in person. other purposes.
"Your Majesty the Duke, you must have read the contents of the abdication decree." Christopher sat opposite Duke Yinvanovich and said in a serious tone: "Paul I has committed suicide, and the current Paul I is just a puppet controlled by Archbishop Henry. That’s all, you should make a decision as soon as possible.”
"Decision..." Duke Yinvanovich smiled helplessly: "Alexey and the others were captured and taken to the Popon Kingdom. What decision do you want me to make?"
"Someone has already solved this matter for you, right?"
"What do you mean?"
"Your Excellency knows what I mean." Christopher said: "Although Finn Drost has escaped, that does not mean that the Wisdom Cult can completely control the Noble Faction. There are other beings who have come to find you, right? "
"...The Church of Truth and the Freedom Association are together?"
Duke Yinvanovich was neither surprised nor surprised by this result. Finn Drost had been helping Katerina, and on the side of the Church of Truth... there were other forces secretly helping.
No matter how you look at it, the Truth Church is a target of support and help from the Free Association, and there is a high probability that it is some kind of alliance.
but....
Christopher gave a negative answer: "The Free Society is our enemy, and we have never made an agreement with the Free Society."
Duke Yinvanovich took a sip of wine and said nothing, but in his heart he felt that Christopher was farting.
It's not an alliance...Why should the Free Association spare no effort to help the Church of Truth?
This makes no sense at all.
"Father Mavey has known about the existence of the forces behind the scenes for a long time, and we also believe that they have reached some kind of agreement with Your Excellency and the Noble Faction in advance, which should include the requirement to rescue the Noble Faction's family." Christopher said: " We are not interested in the specific content of the agreement, but I must remind you to never forget who you are and never believe the sweet talk of the enemy."
"...."
Christopher stood up and walked to the balcony while saying: "If you still have even a shred of backbone and blood, you should fight for the Romanov Kingdom. Traitors... will not end well."
With their wings spread out, Jielan and other vampire members took Christopher and Selina into the sky and disappeared into the night.
Prince Yinvanovich sat alone on the sofa, drinking wine silently, his eyes flickering.
After a long time, he sighed quietly.
"Where can I turn back now..."
................................................................. ...
9pm, Saratov.
The rented temporary house was full of people.
Goncharov looked at the many figures in front of him and said in a deep voice: "Father Mavey has issued an encyclical, ordering us to launch an armed coup at 9 o'clock in the evening on July 3, and comrades in other cities will respond at the same time. "
"Great!" Scott King, standing in front of the crowd, his eyes lit up: "We have been waiting for this day for a long time!"
"Among the secret police, there are monks from the Wisdom Cult. They have used magic to quell the riots in the past few days. If we cannot defeat them, the coup will not be successful." Wyson said with some worry.
"The magic that can control people's hearts is the biggest stumbling block on our revolutionary road. Father Mawei gave me the power to fight against the Wisdom Cult..."
Goncharov rubbed the minstrel singing ring in his hand, nodded and said: "Don't worry about the Wisdom Cult, I will take action."
After hearing that Goncharov was going to participate in the coup, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became lively. Scott King even said excitedly: "What should we do? Organize people to attack the municipal building like before?"
"No, this is an organized coup!"
Goncharov took a map of Saratov City, spread it out on the table, and pointed at the prison on the outskirts: "Many of our comrades are imprisoned here. After the coup begins, we must rescue them as soon as possible. Kotkin, you are familiar with the surrounding terrain, I plan to let you lead the team to storm the prison and rescue our comrades!"
"No problem! Leave it to me!"
"Wyson, Novick... you are workers in the city. Before tomorrow night, I want you to bring the news of the coup to every believer and tell them the specific time. When the first shot is fired, Everyone responded immediately, actively mobilized the people, gathered together, and took down the municipal building!"
"clear!"
Goncharov took a deep breath, made a fist with his hand, and hammered the table: "Comrades, the decadent regime has come to an end! Our time has come!"
"We must regain what we lost at all costs! Plant the flag of truth at the highest point in Saratov! Tell everyone that the comrades in Saratov are the bravest and most united!"
"Truth is supreme!"
