Speaking of Fantine, Li Huailin felt that she was really pitiful. In fact, he didn't have any conflicts with her. He just didn't know why she would always jump out and mess up her plans when she was carrying out her plans. It was the same this time, and it was the same the last time. He felt that she was a little unlucky to always meet him.
Along the way, Li Huailin led his team in the direction of the palace. He didn't encounter any obstructions at all. Instead, he felt that there were more and more people. The surrounding soldiers also spontaneously began to pull people in. Then, not only the city guards, but even the royal guards began to join Li Huailin's team. When they reached the inner city gate, there were already about two thousand soldiers around Li Huailin, and the number was still increasing.
The guards at the inner city gate were also stunned. What was going on? Had there been a military coup? Why was there a group of soldiers in the armor of the city guards and the royal guards surrounding the inner city gate? When they took a closer look, it was even more shocking. The Duke of Aquitaine had actually returned, and he had directly led the city guards over.
"What … what should we do?" The inner city guards were also stunned. Most of the soldiers opposite them were their own people. This … Theoretically, of course, they couldn't let them pass, but …
"What are you thinking! Hurry up and stop them! "a sergeant immediately shouted.
Although this sergeant had shouted, and what he said was correct, the surrounding soldiers actually only frowned, because this sergeant was their new superior who had been parachuted in yesterday. Yes, this person was actually one of Fantine's men. Of course, the inner city gate was very important, so Fantine had also sent people to guard this place. However, as they had said before, they had fewer people, so they could only send someone to lead the other soldiers.
Needless to say, this behavior of a sergeant who had been parachuted in was naturally very displeasing to the soldiers. Moreover, he had only been a sergeant for a day, and didn't give them any benefits. All he did was yell at them and make them work, and the soldiers had yet to submit to him. At this time, looking at the opposite side, the Duke of Aquitaine, who was also the person that all the human soldiers admired the most, compared to Ruolin, who would the soldiers side with?
"Brothers above!" Before Li Huailin could speak, someone had already started to shout for him. "Hurry up and open the inner gate. Right now, the Empress and His Majesty the Emperor are under the control of the rebel army led by the traitor Fantine. The orders you are receiving now are all orders from Fantine. His Excellency the Duke of Aquitaine was also persecuted by them, but now His Excellency has exposed the conspiracy of Fantine and the other traitors and led us back to save His Majesty the Emperor. Please hurry up and open the gate, and accompany us to escort His Majesty."
"Yes, Zogru, I'm Sayre. What Captain Marada said is true. The rebel army is in the palace. Let us in."
"That's right, brothers in the inner city …"
Originally, everyone was from the army in the city, so there were a lot of people who knew each other. Many of the people led by Li Huailin were from the same generation as the soldiers above. His words were really persuasive. After shouting a few words, the soldiers above began to believe him. Immediately, they looked at the non-commissioned officer next to him suspiciously. What he said made sense. Was it because of this that a non-commissioned officer was sent here at such a critical moment …?
"What are you thinking? The Duke of Aquitaine is a traitor. He tried to assassinate His Majesty, but he failed to kill His Majesty. Now, he is leading the army to kill His Majesty. " The non-commissioned officer who was being questioned did not panic. He still made up a story. "It's very clear who the traitor is. How can you believe the words of a traitor?"
"This …" The soldiers were really a little confused. The non-commissioned officer's words seemed to make sense. It was indeed possible that Li Huailin had made up a story to trick them into opening the door. It was really hard to judge.
"Okay, okay." Li Huailin pushed the crowd aside and walked out. "Listen up, guys above. I'll give you one last chance to live. I don't care who you believe. Anyway, I'll wait for another three minutes. If the door doesn't open by then, all the inner city guards and their families will be beheaded. Don't worry, I have a hundred ways to make you die."
"…" This time, everyone was silent. Was this reasonable? Could they not fight and kill like this? Why did they kill their families at the drop of a hat? This was too terrifying.
However, this method was really effective. Yes, now the soldiers did not care who was telling the truth. They began to seriously consider the problem of saving their lives. Yes, they did not know if what Li Huailin said about the problem of the rebel army was true. However, they absolutely believed in the killing of their families because it was too in line with Li Huailin's settings.
After thinking for a while, they still felt that killing an entire family was a little too cruel. They should just commit treason. Maybe what Li Huailin said was true. If that was the case, wouldn't they become the Emperor's protectors? Even if it wasn't true, if Li Huailin really killed the Emperor, it would have nothing to do with them. No one would blame them.
With this thought, the soldiers quickly prepared to open the door. Of course, the officer on the side did not want to do so. Of course, he knew what was going on inside. If he let Li Huailin in, his master, Fonseline, would be in danger. Seeing that the soldiers on the side were about to be persuaded to surrender, the officer immediately stepped forward and killed a soldier who was about to approach the door. He then raised his voice and shouted, "The Duke of Aquitaine has committed treason. He wants to enter the palace to assassinate the Emperor again. As the last defense force of the Nasser Empire, how can we defect to the enemy?"
After saying that, the officer picked up a longbow next to him, pulled it to a full draw, and shot an arrow in the direction of Li Huailin. It seemed like he was ready to use the people above to directly break off their relationship with Li Huailin. This was because this shot meant that they had already started attacking. Once the battle started, they could not surrender. Of course, they could only fight to the death.
Although it was a good plan, the development of the situation was not as good as the officer thought. Before the arrow could fly to Li Huailin, a hand reached out and grabbed the arrow that was still flying in the air. This was not something that ordinary people could do. Of course, the person who grabbed the arrow was not an ordinary person either. It was Melgines, who had just advanced to the Saint-rank. This was a small matter for him.
Of course, Melgines would not let anything happen to Li Huailin. Now, Li Huailin was the emperor of the mainland, and their newly established Avengers Alliance had also recognized him. Therefore, Melgines was also responsible for Li Huailin's safety.
Looking at the officer who shot the arrow upstairs, Melgines frowned slightly and threw the arrow in his hand. With a swoosh, the arrow appeared on the chest of the officer upstairs in the next second. As the speed was too fast, no one saw how Melgines threw the arrow. Even the officer himself did not see it. By the time he reacted, the arrow had already hit his chest.
"Ugh … This …" The officer looked down at Melgines with difficulty. There was actually such an expert. Her Highness Fantine … Although he wanted to go back and remind Fantine to be careful, he could not do it anymore. His body tilted and he fell directly from the inner city wall, landing in front of the soldiers.
"…" The soldiers looked at the officer's corpse in horror, and then looked at the Duke of Aquitaine outside. After thinking for about ten seconds, everyone chose to surrender. After all, there was no one to stop them now.
It was about the time that Li Huailin said. In just three minutes, the inner city gate had opened. There was almost no one to say that they were out of energy. Moreover, they had taken in more than a hundred troops. Now, Li Huailin's troops were getting bigger and bigger. Leading these thousands of people, Li Huailin directly passed through the noble residential area in the inner city and began to move in the direction of the palace.
Li Huailin had no intention of hiding himself at all. Of course, this troop had already been discovered by Fantine and the others. Of course, Fantine also knew that Li Huailin was among them. This was completely out of the ordinary. He went directly to the enemy's base camp and led a group of people to rebel successfully. Fantine could not understand this situation at all. However, although she could not understand it, the important thing was how to deal with it.
"The person who framed him is Marina." Ames thought for a while and said, "Why don't we just kill Marina and push all the blame onto her? Then, we'll take the opportunity to join his side?"
"This … No!" Fantine was stunned at first, then immediately said. Of course, this was because no matter what, Marina was her family. How could she kill her family?
"Your Highness Fantine, do you know …"
"No, that's the only thing that won't do." Fantine immediately interrupted Ames.
"Sigh …" Ames sighed and nodded. "In that case, there's no better way. We only have about a hundred troops left (the rest have basically left the palace to look for people, so there are only this many people in the palace now). We don't know if the remaining palace guards will be instigated to rebel. Now, we can only rely on the terrain of the palace and see if we can deal with the enemy."
"Ames … Sorry …" Fantine seemed to have thought of something and said directly.
"Don't say anymore, Your Highness Fantine. This is my own choice." Ames said. "And we might not necessarily lose. You know there's still that secret weapon in the palace …"
"Hmm? We're going to use that? "Fantine was also shocked.
"Yes, in this situation … there's no other choice." Ames also sighed.
