Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 274: 2 Prince Rebellion

Now the emperor Joseph I of the Holy Visby Empire has made a lot of contributions to unite political forces in the country and reduce differences. For example, when he was young, especially before the victory of the great war of restoration, his rights and status Married many wives when he was unstable.

   But I don’t know why, but the emperor’s heirs are not that many. There are only three sons and two daughters who can live to adulthood. Today, the shock to everyone's heart after these people went into a coma together is naturally unparalleled.

   At this time, the second prince, who usually excuses for having fun and does not want to disturb others, suddenly appeared and became the leader of the group of guards and asked the emperor to discuss with the emperor whether the guards should be disbanded.

   Of course, because the emperor was suddenly in a coma, it is naturally impossible for anyone to come out to face the Imperial Guard to solve these problems. The Prime Minister originally tried to persuade the guards to return to the barracks, but the second prince killed him. At this time, the emperor and other members of the royal family had been placed under house arrest by these royal officials and ordered the guards gathered by him to attack the palace.

   Fortunately, at this time, the palace also got rid of the chaos caused by the emperor's coma. At the same time, the guards under the command of Prince Eugene successfully blocked the rebels trying to rush into the palace with the help of the defense of the wall.

"Thanks to His Royal Highness Prince Eugene, now the group of rebels should not be able to enter the palace for a while." Watching Lawrence bandage his wounds, the senior judge who went out to investigate the state of the palace just now dealt with him. Said, "But the problem now is that the elite artillery of the rebels and the powerful transcendents are all concentrated near the palace. I am worried that the defense on the palace side will not last long."

   "Aren't we supposed to remain neutral in this political change?" Lawrence felt a little strange to the judge's words, because listening to him now feels that he supports the emperor against the coup of the second prince.

   "I think you weren't on the ground just now? Because I haven't seen you just now." After listening to Lawrence's question, the senior judge looked at his face and recognized it carefully, and said affirmatively. "It should be like that. Otherwise you won't ask this question."

   "Yes, I just performed operations on the wounded in the underground medical room." Lawrence nodded slightly and said, "What does this have to do with the tendency of the referee?"

   "Of course it does matter, because the group of guards outside requested to take over our archives and question our personnel. This is absolutely prohibited in the treaty signed by this intelligent race."

"Not to mention that we have found a lot of evidence of collusion between the high-ranking generals of the Imperial Guard and the evil forces, but now at this critical time their behavior in requesting to take over our archives room seems very suspicious. According to the judges who stayed behind, now It is speculated that the second prince is likely to be the person behind the senior officers involved."

   "So that's the case." Lawrence nodded. After all, the second prince is very likely to be involved in some conspiracy to betray the entire human race and even civilized races, so it is very normal for the judge as the guardian of civilization to oppose him.

   The reason why the rebels attacked the court is also for the same reason. As an emperor, he is legally exempt from most crimes. But it definitely does not include any crimes of betraying the civilized world and taking refuge in other evil forces. Therefore, if the second prince wants to achieve his goals, he will definitely take advantage of the current chaos to enter the court and destroy the evidence that he has committed such crimes.

"In addition, although I really shouldn't have political inclinations as a judge, I always have my own personal inclinations as a person." Looking at Lawrence with a thoughtful expression, the senior judge He pointed to a burning building in the distance and said. "After all, my home has been set alight by the Imperial Guards under the second prince. If I hadn't taken my wife and children over before. Now I might not just face the loss of family property."

After    finished speaking, the inquisitor picked up the rifle from his side and walked towards the battle position. Lawrence began to treat the wound of the next wounded who had just been sent in.

   Just when Lawrence finished dealing with the fifth wounded, Jagoda suddenly came to this emergency spot, clutching his waist. Some clothes were randomly wrapped around his waist, but there was still a lot of blood seeping from his waist, staining the bandage covering the wound.

   "Sit down." Lawrence quickly arranged for his friend to sit down, and then untied the torn clothes that were used to plug the wound. After the last lap of clothing stained with blood from the wound was taken off, a wound that was palm-length and two-finger wide at the deepest point appeared in front of Lawrence.

   "Has the enemy attacked the city wall?" Lawrence asked nervously, because the wound on Jagoda's waist was obviously cut by the enemy with some kind of sharp weapon in hand-to-hand combat.

"How is it possible?" Jagoda smiled heartily, "Since the grassroots commanders in the rebel army have been killed one by one, the opponent has been unable to organize a decent attack for a long time, let alone attack the wall. And their transcendents can't rush in under the defense of our superior transcendents without the support of the army."

"As for my wound, it was purely injured when I was out of the city assault just now-hiss! It can be lightened." Jagoda took a sharp breath of air, because at this time Lawrence put a few cotton swabs soaked in alcohol. He held it in his hand, then inserted the cotton swab into the wound and scratched it vigorously. He felt that he didn't feel so painful when he was just cut.

"It's good to know the pain, it means that the other party's knife is not poisonous." Lawrence said after joking, "Also, did you say that you rushed out because of a mission? Of course, if it involves confidentiality, then treat it as me. did not ask."

"Of course this is not a secret. We are mainly investigating the battle situation on the palace side." Jagoda said, raising his finger and pointing to the direction of the palace in the distance. At this time, the shelling by the rebels seemed much fiercer than before. So much so that magical barriers had to be raised in the palace to deal with these attacks that did not come from extraordinary powers.

  From where he is now ~lightnovelpub.net~ Lawrence can clearly hear the thunderous bomb explosion coming from the direction of the palace. At the same time, a cannonball could be seen flying directly towards the palace with fire.

But not all of these shells hit the palace. Except for some advanced transcendents in the palace that intercepted the next part of the shells, many shells that hit the vital points of the palace hit the ones that suddenly appeared in the air with a diameter of one or two meters when halfway through. The blue transparent energy barrier was then detonated in the air to form a blossoming firework.

"What a smart defensive barrier." Lawrence whispered subconsciously after seeing this scene. Unlike the imagined defensive barrier that seems to be an upside-down half eggshell, this magical barrier can actually be used accurately. A small piece of the cannonball is deployed in the front to block the flying cannonball. Although this is not a small technical difficulty, it can greatly save energy.

   "Of course the magic barrier of the palace is powerful, because it is controlled by the tower spirit of the magic tower of the royal family." As the extraordinary, Jagoda had very good ears, and naturally he heard Lawrence mutter. "But the problem is that if there are too many shells into the palace, it will definitely not be able to handle it. At that time, the magical defense barrier should be fully raised."

   Before his words fell, the palace raised a hemispherical barrier like soap bubbles glowing with blue light, enveloping the entire palace. It seems that the firepower of the rebels has reached a certain intensity, forcing the palace to adopt such a comprehensive defense with high energy consumption to respond.
