"The guards are dispatched, it's time for us to take action."
Delin stood on the tall building of Peter Manor, staring at the statue of the king in the palace that symbolized power. As long as he gets there, he can support a new puppet and form his own cabinet. At that time, the Peter family will become the truly powerful family in Shields.
After hearing Delin's order, five hundred of Delin's privately-raised soldiers divided into two groups, preparing to kill Cabinet Prime Minister Pulis, and waiting outside the palace for a signal from Kebas.
When the guards rushed into the palace, the palace square was deserted. The guards and maids all disappeared, as if they had evaporated from the world.
"Something's wrong. Maybe Pula set up an ambush in advance and evacuated the square first."
The guard general planned to withdraw from here and enter the inner city of the palace from another way. The army was bustling and some chaos had begun.
"fire!"
Following an order, the curtains on the surrounding city walls were lifted, revealing dozens of cannons. The black muzzles of the cannons were pointed at the guards. As the sound fell, missiles fell into the crowd and detonated again. In an instant, the defenders lost 30% of their strength.
Looking at the bloodbath in front of him, Dean seemed to have returned to the time when he was a passionate young man leading a team of hundreds of people to rush through enemy fire.
"Su Sheng, you should have left."
Dean closed his eyes, and his heart stopped beating at this moment.
When the shelling stopped, the defenders quickly organized their formation and began to counterattack. There was a fierce exchange of fire between the two sides. The guards had a numerical advantage, while the Guards relied on the terrain to confront the guards and kept circling.
Kaibas sneaked away, took out the prepared flares, and fired them into the sky.
"Come in and take control of the situation! Do as Master Delin says."
Delin's private soldiers climbed up the palace wall, and the personal guards above were so blinded by the firefight with the guards that they did not notice anyone approaching from behind.
"Why did the gunfire stop?"
The guards looked at the palace wall. The yellow military flag representing Pula was cut off with a knife, and then a red flying eagle flag was raised.
"We are here to avenge Duke Dean on the order of Marquis Delin. Fellow guardsmen, you were deceived by the cabinet. They tried to overthrow the royal government and acted in reverse. Lord Delin discovered their conspiracy and asked us to stop it. cabinet."
"Do you have any evidence?"
The general of the guard asked loudly.
The leader of Delin's private soldiers waved his hand, and one of them climbed down the city wall with a recording pen and handed it to the general.
"General, this is the evidence."
The guard general opened the record, and the conversation between the Prime Minister and Pulis that night was broadcast. Everyone fell silent, listening to the so-called truth.
After the recording ended, Delin took advantage of the time and entered through the palace gate.
"Soldiers, your duty should have been to protect your home and country, but you have been involved in the country's civil war because of the greed of villains. I, Delin, have long since found my descendants of the royal family of Shields, but I have no choice but to pretend to be the king. Big, cabinet dictatorship, I have been unable to reveal his identity to the public, today, let us welcome the real king of Shields."
Delin stepped aside, revealing the young man behind him. This man has sharp eyebrows and a kingly temperament about him. But there was a hint of fear in his eyes.
The general of the guard army saw that the situation had evolved to this point and wanted to ask Dean for his opinion.
"General, Duke Dean has already gone."
A soldier sadly reported the news to him.
"Injured by accidental artillery fire? Didn't I ask you to protect Lord Dean!"
"No, it's like the breath is cut off after being severely tortured."
After hearing this, the guard general realized that he had been tricked by Pulis. The situation was now out of control. Delin's sudden appearance may have been premeditated. Pulis' side may have also been controlled, and the change of regime was inevitable. Thinking of this, he could only put down his weapon helplessly and kneel down to the new king.
Pula, who was deep in the palace, listened to the guard's report, nodded lightly, picked up the sword and walked out of the palace.
"Pula, it's him who came out."
The guards watched Pula, who was wearing royal robes, walking toward them step by step, and no one dared to say a word. The man who was their supreme ruler yesterday has now become a rat that everyone shouts to beat. I am afraid no one can bear such a contrast.
"I guarded against Pulis and even supervised the other dukes, but I never thought that I would fall into your hands. Delin, you win."
Pula looked calm and looked at Delin in front of her.
"You are very good. Among so many puppets, you are the only one with some real power. Your confidence is Dean, but you don't believe in him, so you lose."
Delin talked about his future plans in Pula's ears. After learning about Delin's ambition, Pula just smiled.
"Although I am not a true royal family, I am still the king of the Kingdom of Shields. The true royal family was slaughtered by the Eldian demons a hundred years ago. You will not last long, Delin, you will come. Accompany me."
Pula raised his sword and killed himself in front of Delin. Blood soaked the royal robe. And the so-called new king is just a puppet that Delin had prepared long ago.
