The entire Glory Stronghold was plunged into chaos. After Li Huailin exposed the conspiracy of the nobles, the enraged citizens immediately launched an attack on them. If these commoners were to go to the battlefield and fight against the armored soldiers with spears, they would be terrified. However, the nobles didn't have any soldiers under them.
Yes, this was the main city. Of course, the nobles couldn't keep private soldiers in the main city. Otherwise, they would be rebelling. Of course, the nobles still had some subordinates, but not many. Moreover, most of the subordinates were hired by the citizens to work in the city.
The nobles didn't expect the situation to take a turn for the worse. Although they had indeed colluded with the Crown Prince, theoretically, Misard wouldn't touch them. No matter who became the Emperor, shouldn't they have a good relationship with the nobles? Why would they attack them?
When they realized that something was wrong, it was already too late. The entrance was blocked by the angry citizens. A group of citizens surrounded their mansions and attacked them. What they couldn't understand was … Why did these people support Missad so much? Were they sick in the head? Misard's policy was to make it impossible for them to survive, okay?
The city was in a frenzy of destruction and looting. As the scale was too large, it couldn't be stopped. Originally, the city guards should have stopped this behavior. But now, the city guards joined the ranks of the citizens. At this time, the Royal Guards should have taken action, but the problem was that the Royal Guards were also blocked in their encampment.
Yes, the temporary captain of the Royal Guards, Lavinson, was also anxious. He didn't expect the situation to develop like this. Because according to their imagination, shouldn't the current situation be Misard being torn into several pieces by the angry citizens? Who would have thought that this group of commoners would surround them? Lavinson wasn't prepared at all. By the time he received the news, they were already surrounded.
Fortunately, although the Royal Guards' encampment was in the middle of the city, the security was quite tight. The commoners could only surround this side, and they had no way of entering. However, Ravensen was still anxious. Not to mention how long they could hold on, the problem was … the Crown Prince's troops were about to arrive. According to their previous agreement, they were supposed to work together to open the city gates. Now … they couldn't even open the gates of their encampment, let alone the city gates.
Of course, Ravensen was anxious about this situation. What made him even more speechless was that he still didn't know what was going on. If it wasn't that the people in the city suddenly went crazy, then it was that the intruder named Ruolin had a way to control people's hearts. But this didn't make sense. If he could control people's hearts, why didn't he control them as well?
However, Ravensen didn't have time to think about the reason. He had to solve the current problem first. The problem now was how to get out. It would be terrible if they hindered Crown Prince Vico's plans. Now that he had to go out, he could only think of a way to deal with these irrational commoners … Attack by force? Ravensen thought for a second and rejected this plan. Let's not talk about the number of civilians outside and whether or not it would work. The main thing was that most of his subordinates were residents of the city. Not to mention the civilians outside, there were also their families inside. Do you think it would be possible for his subordinates to kill their families? Perhaps they would help the other side to kill him at any moment.
Now that they were stuck here and couldn't rush out, what should they do? Ravensen thought about it. There was nothing he could do. He would let the higher-ups decide. Of course, the so-called higher-ups referred to Crown Prince Vico. Ravensen's intention was to immediately contact the Crown Prince and tell him about the situation here. As for what to do, he would listen to the Crown Prince.
Although a large-scale army couldn't get out, a small group of people could still be sent out. They could disguise themselves as commoners and find a place to climb over the wall. As long as they weren't discovered, there wouldn't be a problem. Vico immediately ordered his people to do so.
While Glory Castle was in chaos, the Verus Legion led by the Crown Prince was actually not far from the main city. At this moment, Vico also received these inexplicable reports. Not only were there from Ravensen, but there were also reports from other nobles. These nobles really had no other choice. The city guards didn't care, and the royal guards didn't show up either. They could only look for their own backers. In the letters, they asked Vico to quickly bring the troops over. Otherwise, they really wouldn't be able to serve Sir.
You could imagine Vico's expression when he received these reports. He was stunned for half a minute. Yes, how could he understand? What was going on with these commoners? They wanted to torture them to death, but they were still supporting them like crazy. Were they sick in the head?
To be honest, at first, Vico didn't dare to believe that these reports were true. In the end, one report after another came, and they all reported the same thing. Either all the nobles in the city had discussed and sent fake news to tease him, or the commoners in the city had really gone crazy. And Vico didn't believe either of these things. Now, he didn't know what the situation was.
But now, he really encountered trouble, and that was how to enter the city. Yes, although Li Huailin's previous statement was just a guess, his guess was right. After Vico received the news, of course, he immediately rushed in the direction of the main city. The soldiers were almost all lightly equipped, and they didn't even bring any supplies, let alone siege weapons. According to his original thoughts, with so many spies in the city (not only the royal guards), it should be very easy to open the city gate, so of course, there was no need for siege weapons. But he didn't expect that there would be a problem now. Now, the nobles in the city couldn't even protect themselves, so how could they help him open the city gate? The royal guards were also blocked at home, and now they were asking him what to do.
"Tell Ravensen that I don't care what he does, but he must open the city gate before my army arrives. If he can't do it, he will be sentenced to death!" The enraged Vico yelled at the messenger sent by Lavinson. Right now, he was really infuriated.
"Can you tell me what's going on?" After chasing away the messenger, Vico also asked the group of confused generals of the Verus Legion.
"This … The other party might have some magic that can bewitch people's hearts …" one of the generals said.
"Then why didn't he control the nobles as well? Why did only the people go crazy?" Vico immediately said. "Why didn't he control me as well?"
"The people's IQ is relatively low. Of course, they can't be compared to Your Majesty," another general said immediately.
"Now is not the time to flatter," Vico shouted. "The problem now is what to do? In the current situation, the people in the city can't be counted on. How do we enter the city? "
Yes, although he asked the messenger to go back and ask Ravensen to open the city gate, Vico also knew that it was difficult to do in this situation. Of course, he also had to think of a solution. Of course, they couldn't force their way in. They knew the walls of Glory Castle the best. Although they had the advantage in numbers, without siege weapons, they could only watch the scenery around the castle. It was impossible to force their way in.
"This …" Of course, the group of generals couldn't think of a solution. In the face of such a strong city, without siege weapons, it was like a housewife can't cook without rice. There was simply no solution.
"How long will it take for us to move the siege weapons now?" Vico asked immediately.
"Your Majesty, although we have siege weapons in our barracks, they are not aimed at a city like Glory Castle. For such a strong city, ordinary siege weapons are not effective at all. We need to make new ones," one of the generals replied. "But in this case, at least ten days to half a month …"
"Ten days to half a month? Are you joking? "Vico roared.
"Your Majesty, please calm down." All the generals saw that Vico was really angry, so they quickly bowed.
"Report." Just as they were speaking, a messenger ran from the front and reported to Vico.
"Speak!" Vico said immediately.
"Report, Your Majesty. We found a group of people advancing in the direction of Glory Castle. We have stopped them. After asking, they came from Saarlit City in the east. Their purpose this time is to go to the main city to thank the new emperor in person and offer their blessings, "the soldier said immediately." Your Majesty, what should we do with them? "
"Huh? The people of Saarlit are going to the main city to thank the new emperor? Misad? "Vico was completely stunned.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The soldier nodded.
Vico was shocked again. What was going on? Of course, he knew about Saarlit City. It was a small city not far from the main city, Glory Castle. It was normal for people from Saarlit to come to Glory Castle. The problem was … why were these people going to Glory Castle to thank Misad? Didn't they say that only the people of Glory Castle were crazy? Why were the people of Saarlit also crazy? This … What was going on?
"You … bring them here first. I will ask about the situation," Vico thought for a moment and said to the guard.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The messenger nodded immediately. Just as he was about to bring the people over, Vico stopped him again.
"Wait, send someone to the surrounding towns to ask," Vico said. "Other than the people in the main city, what are the other people thinking about Misad? Then come back and report immediately!"
