Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 379: The Dark Night Coup (Part 2)

"Stop! Who are you?"

On the wall of the Rotunlins Palace, the imperial soldiers guarding here shouted to a group of soldiers standing outside the city gate. The soldiers outside suddenly rushed out of the darkness, anxiously saying that there was an urgent matter. Reported with the Dagong, this is really a little caught off guard.

"We are the soldiers of Lord Anwar, the military commander. There is an urgent matter to report to His Majesty the Grand Duke. Hurry up and open the palace gate and let us in! If it is delayed, not only will we have to die, but you will also have to be buried together!"

"So serious?" Several soldiers on the city wall peeped at each other when they heard the words. They didn't know what to do. They didn't immediately answer the soldiers outside. A few people surrounded them. One of them said: "I think it still Let’s report to your Majesty the Grand Duke first, and look at what they are saying is very serious. If there are really important things, will we be finished if we delay?"

"No, your Majesty is banqueting the King of Winsters. If we rush in, we will finish the game before they finish. I think we should just let them in and report by ourselves." Another person said.

"Yes, yes, I also agree with Old Tok's words, what consequences are for those people to bear, anyway, it won't involve us." The other people agreed.

Seeing that everyone else agreed, the person who spoke first had to agree. The few people left only two people to continue to stand guard on the palace wall. The rest of the people walked off the palace gate to open the heavy palace gate. They did not notice. When the palace gate was slowly opened from the inside, several soldiers outside who were looking anxious suddenly sneered. They put one hand behind them as if they were holding something. After the palace gate was fully opened, they walked into the gate and faced each other. When the latter was about to speak, they suddenly took out a small cavalry crossbow from behind, aimed at the forbidden soldiers in a thunderous manner, pulled the trigger, and just listened to puff puff. With a few dull sharp weapons into the flesh, a crossbow bolt with a trembling tail appeared on the throats of the imperial soldiers. They couldn't even make a scream, so they fell on the cold ground with a thump, and their eyes opened. It's so big that you can't stand your eyes.

Such a faint sound was unable to attract the attention of the soldiers on the city wall. Several people in the doorway quickly hid the fallen corpse of the imperial army in the darkness behind the palace door, and while winding up the cavalry crossbow in their hands, they ran up the stairwell. On the city wall, before the forbidden army on the palace wall could react, a few arrows hit their vitals and shot it to death.

I don’t know if it was because Richard was in the palace. The patrolling forbidden army on the palace wall was very high. It took only a few minutes for these soldiers to clear out the Lasik soldiers near the city gate. The torch waved a circle on the palace wall, seeming to be releasing some secret signal to the outside. After a while, a group of heavily armed soldiers rushed out of the street. They were wearing chain mail, holding round shields and long bucklers. The sword is impressively the Buckler Swordsman in Winster's Army!

"Go forward!"

Amid the shouts of the officers, the buckler swordsmen filed in along the wide-open palace gate. After entering the palace gate, a group of five companies marched along the city wall, or ran directly in the direction of the palace. , Their sudden appearance of the army was quickly discovered by the imperial army in the palace, and hurriedly rang the warning bell in the palace, and hurriedly assembled to attack this group of illegal intruders.

In the hall where the banquet was located, the sudden alarm bell made everyone stunned, especially the Grand Duke Felicias who just wanted to toast Richard on the main seat. He stayed in place for a few seconds. , Immediately stood up from the main position, and was about to call the soldiers guarding outside the door, but Richard moved faster than him. While Felicias shouted the guards, Richard approached the surrounding lieutenants. With a wink, the latter immediately understood, and stretched a hand to his waist, holding the hilt of the sword that was still warm.

"Guards! What happened? Why did the alarm bell sound?" Grand Duke Felicias shouted. As soon as his voice fell, a group of soldiers rushed in from the door. They were half kneeling on the ground, their voices trembling. Said: "Your Majesty, the palace wall has been broken, and the enemy has entered!"

"What? Where did the enemy come from?" Felicias was shocked, his gaze crossed the guards in front of him at the same time, looked outside, and saw the two armies fought against each other under the faint moonlight. One side can clearly see that it is the forbidden army of one's own side, and the other side cannot see the forces to which it belongs because it has not raised the flag.

However, how did Felicias look more and more feel that the soldiers in the army came from the Kingdom of Winster?

He was shocked, and hurriedly turned around to look at Richard and his lieutenants behind him, only to see Richard drank the wine in the glass, and then threw the glass into the ground. The glass touched the ground. There was a crisp cracking sound in an instant. At the same time as the sound, Lieutenant Winster, who was still sitting there, stood up suddenly, drew a sharp dagger from his waist, and rushed towards Felicias with a loud shout. !

"what--"

In the harsh screams of the maids around~lightnovelpub.net~The lieutenant of Winster’s army rushed over to fight with the guards who hurriedly got up to fight, while Richard was still sitting leisurely in his position , Picked up a new glass and tasted the wine in the glass. Behind him, the servant responsible for pouring him shivered, holding the bottle and dared not leave without permission. Richard seemed to feel the fear of those behind him. He smiled slightly and comforted: "It's okay, as long as you stand behind me and don't move, nothing will happen."

However, Richard's comfort not only didn't work, but it made the female slaves even more fearful, for fear that the few lieutenants armed with daggers could not beat the well-trained guards and affected themselves.

While Lieutenant Winster was fighting with the guards, Archduke Felicias turned around and ran out when he saw that the situation was bad, but he just ran out of the hall when the imperial army resisting Winster's army was defeated. After escaping and defeating the Forbidden Army, Winster's army rushed in the direction where he was. Suddenly saw a large group of Danish men rushing towards him full of murderousness, scaring this large tolerance point of old age to the ground. , The strong desire for survival made him hurriedly turned and escaped, but saw that the battle in the temple had ended, several guards had been chopped down by short swords, and those lieutenants Winster were bloodied and charged towards him with murderous intent.

There are wolves before and tigers behind! Grand Duke Felicias slumped to the ground all of a sudden, and the strong wind of the past disappeared instantly. He closed his eyes in despair, waiting for the judgment of fate.
