Chapter 496: The danger of the imperial capital

For a while, people in the entire imperial capital were panicked, and the residents no longer had the mind to continue working. The hotspots also reduced the prices of their commodities as soon as possible, in order to quickly get rid of them and then leave the imperial capital as soon as possible.

Now, the imperial capital, the center of the Redka Empire, and even the center of the entire continent, a place that everyone wants to come to, has become a place that everyone avoids.

Everyone knows that once those noble grandfathers fight, they will not care about whether there will be innocent people, they only value their own interests.

"The original price was a gold coin, but now you only need five silver coins. You can take the five silver coins right away!" Regardless of his identity, a middle-level merchant on the road directly peddled his own products.

He can't care about any losses anymore. He just wants to quickly sell the living creatures in his hands. It is enough to stop the losses a little bit. In the face of life, money is so insignificant.

However, although his voice was loud, it did not attract anyone's attention. The commerce in the streets of the Imperial Capital was extremely prosperous, and many merchants were selling with louder but louder voices than him.

The businessman's heart couldn't help but become anxious, so he raised his volume even more. When he opened his throat, he shouted, and the rest of the people also increased their volume.

In an instant, the imperial capital became extremely noisy. Although this time was a little bit depressed than before, it was worse in terms of momentum.

In just a few days, the merchants who sold out the goods hurriedly left the imperial capital with their own team. No one knows which day the lords of the north will call, and then they will not be able to leave if they want to leave. .

A few more days passed, and this time the imperial capital was completely depressed. The merchants of all sizes disappeared before they arrived, and they were completely gone.

Even citizens with a little wealth and ability in their homes left the imperial capital with a family of young and old.

In the Teska Palace, the upstarts are very worried about such an emperor. They don't know what is causing all this, but in any case, they are still reluctant to bear the money.

That was a huge number they didn't even dare to think about in the past few lives. They just wanted to keep it in their own castle for good custody, and then pass it on to future generations to continue the glory of the family.

As for the current royal family and imperial capital, their status is not very important in their hearts.

It is good to be able to keep it, but if they can't keep it, they are unwilling to lose their lives for the royal family, leading to the demise of the family.

These people were originally low-level nobles, and there was a certain ideological gap between them and the educated royal lords.

In addition to literacy, they are not as good as the royal lords in terms of overall outlook and knowledge. If it weren't for a Count Redmara among the upstarts, I am afraid they are still crushed by the royal lords.

Therefore, they didn't even think about how the royal lords would treat themselves once the emperor was captured and they and others lost their rights.

However, their lack of knowledge does not mean that Count Redmara has no knowledge.

Count Redmara’s father was one of the first lords who surrendered to Emperor Kafet. As the eldest son, he was sent to the old emperor’s court for management and education at the age of thirteen.

He was fascinated by the old emperor, and his view of the overall situation was completely different from these short-sighted upstarts.

And that period of court life was also a hotbed of adultery between him and the queen.

Count Redmara lobbied this group of upstarts every day, but with little success.

Although he is the leader of the upstarts, he is not their master after all, and even the old emperor can't let this group of people obey.

What's more, Earl Redmara has never been a real leader, he is just a representative and spokesperson of an interest group.

As the rumors of the imperial capital became more and more widespread, Count Redmara was also feeling overwhelmed. If this continues, even if the royal lords do not come, I am afraid the imperial capital will gradually collapse.

Prices in the imperial capital have skyrocketed, and the departure of a large number of nobles has caused many commodities to be out of stock. A disaster is brewing.

April 2nd, 27th year of the Empire.

In the early morning, the imperial capital in April has entered the early spring. Although the weather is still not warm, at least it is not cold anymore.

In the cold spring, a stream of damp and cold water vapor evaporates, and it condenses into dew hanging on the branches, leaves, and even leaves of grass.

There is moisture in the air, but this does not mean that the climate is mild.

The spring breeze has just arrived, and it still looks awful, countless masks with the same outline but similar crown lion crests grinning in the wind.

The ferocious lion with a crown is waving with the wind, as if the lion king with the crown is patrolling his territory with his teeth and claws.

The golden lion coat of arms, a symbol of the Merland family, synonymous with heroic warfare and the king, this is the glory that comes only after victories, and every member of the Merland family is proud of it.

This team is the Northern Royal League led by Rainer. After two months of marching, they finally arrived at Teska.

A real red-bottomed golden lion heraldic flag swings in the wind on the towering walls of the imperial capital. This is the most authentic king flag.

There is no such thing as iris, or gold sparrow, olive branch, or long sword. It is just a golden lion with a crown on its head.

Looking at this banner, Leiner couldn't help but feel a sense of righteousness.

The last time I came here by myself, I still accepted the grand duke's canonization. In order to win over the royal lords, I even had to stand up and break with the upstarts.

But now only two years later, he actually led the army to the imperial capital, and he was really close to the city.

A feeling of raised eyebrows instantly filled Lena's heart, and looking at the 18-meter-high imperial capital city wall, it was inevitable that there would be a desire to swallow the mountains and rivers with anger.

"Blow the trumpet! Tell the short-sighted tubao upstarts, we, the descendants of the Merland family are here!"

Rainer raised his horse whip vigorously and said with a smile.

"Beep..." A long and deep copper horn sounded.

The trumpeters took a sharp breath, and then spit out fiercely, making their faces flushed, but their trumpets were indeed loud, almost covering the entire imperial capital.

The guards on the city wall have long discovered this situation ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ hurriedly sent people to the Teska Palace to pass the news.

And just as they were preparing to report, this bronze horn reached everyone's ears.

Count Redmara instantly changed his face, his expression extremely solemn.

The queen's face turned pale in this second, and all the upstarts who were drunk and dying were frightened by the sudden sound of the bronze horn.

After being vigilant for so long before waiting for the army of the royal lords, they thought that Count Redmara's judgment was wrong at that time, and they even began to mock them.

Of course they were shocked when they relaxed their vigilance.

In the Teska Palace, the queen tightly grasped the hand of the nine-year-old emperor next to her, and unconsciously used a little force to make the emperor want to cry.

However, the queen couldn't take care of this anymore. She looked at Count Redmarah in a panic, and shouted sharply: "You have to think of a way! Those **** Molanders have already brought the army down to the city!"
