Hilmelia's movements were very fast. Just as Fangzheng was driving towards the stronghold, he received a report from Hilmelia. However, the contents of the report surprised Fangzheng.
"What did you say?"
Fangzheng stepped on the brakes and stared at the radio in surprise. Then, he heard Hilmeilia's voice.
"I've contacted Phyllis, my Lord. According to her report, not long ago, the intelligence department announced that the royal guards were suspected of treason and arrested them. Some members of the royal guards escaped, including Lieutenant Yuria Schwartz. Currently, the kingdom is under martial law … "
Hearing Hilmeilia's report, not only Fangzheng, but also Estelle, Joshua and Tida were shocked.
"The intelligence department arrested the royal guards? What did Her Majesty say? "
"Her Majesty did not appear."
"… … I understand."
Upon hearing that, Fangzheng nodded slightly.
"Continue to monitor the situation. Report to me immediately if there's anything."
"Yes."
After giving the order, Fangzheng held the steering wheel and squinted his eyes at the front. Seeing that Fangzheng was not moving, Tida became anxious.
"Brother Fangzheng, hurry up and save my grandpa!"
"Wait a minute, Tida. Something's not right."
"Huh?"
"Do you still remember on the screen that those people changed into the royal guards' clothes and swaggered out of the central workshop?"
"… … Yes."
Although they didn't know why Fangzheng asked this question, Estelle and Joshua nodded.
"At that time, I've been thinking about one thing. The Kingdom of Libel has so many soldiers, why did they have to pretend to be the royal guards? If they didn't want to be discovered, they could have worn ordinary soldiers' clothes. That way, we wouldn't be able to track them down in the future. "
"Now that you mention it ….."
Joshua's eyes lit up when he heard Fangzheng's question.
"Is this why they captured Dr. Russell?"
"It's very likely that they disguised themselves as the royal guards, then attacked the central workshop and took Dr. Lasalle away. Then, they will pour this bucket of dirty water on the Royal Guards. This way, they will be able to achieve their goal. "
"But Mr. Fangzheng, don't you have the internet?"
At this moment, Estelle also interrupted in confusion.
"As long as we rescue Dr. Russell and then show everyone the video of the Internet, wouldn't we be able to prove their innocence?"
"That's the problem."
Fangzheng snapped his fingers.
"Why do you think Her Majesty didn't say anything about it? She was not abroad at the moment, but at the palace. If the Intelligence Department wanted to attack the Royal Guards, would Her Majesty allow it? But Her Majesty the Queen remained silent, which was unusual in itself. So, looking at the current situation, I suspect.... Her Majesty the Queen has been placed under house arrest by the intelligence department. "
"Eh? Ah ah ah ah! Wait a minute, Mr. Fangzheng, you don't mean.... "
"It's a coup d 'état."
"...."
Upon hearing Fangzheng's words, Estelle, Joshua and Tita were dumbfounded. They opened their mouths wide and were speechless for a while. They originally thought it was some kind of secret plot by some evil organization. For example, they wanted to capture Dr. Russell to get him to help them carry out some evil plan.
But they did not expect that such a thing would develop into this.
Coup d 'état? In Libel?
Estelle felt like she was in a dream.
"You're not kidding, are you, Mr. Fangzheng?"
"I hope so, but let me see the situation first.... Dr. Russell will be fine for the time being. We need more information.... Hmm, wait here for a while."
As he spoke, Fangzheng got out of the car and walked to an open space. He then summoned the "Banner of Wrath".
"Mirror, mirror, tell me, what do men want.... MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL, WHO'S THE FAIREST OF THEM...."
In just one song, Fangzheng had figured out the situation.
"The intelligence department kidnapped Princess Colodia and used her to threaten the Queen to abdicate. Suppressing the Royal Guards with this incident is just an excuse. Now, even General Morgan is under house arrest at Haken Gate.... Hmm, that's a lot of trouble."
"Really?"
Everyone was quite surprised to see Fangzheng come back with such a clear understanding of the situation after going to the toilet.
"So what should we do now? Mr. Fangzheng? "
"Nothing."
While answering Estelle's question, Fangzheng changed the gear, ignited the engine and stepped on the accelerator.
"Now that we know the root of the matter, the next step is very simple. We'll first rescue Dr. Russell, then Princess Colodia, and finally Her Majesty the Queen. It's that simple!"
"Boom —!!!"
As soon as Fangzheng's voice fell, the pitch-black chariot roared forward again like a wild horse, quickly rushing towards Preston Stronghold.
"Wait, that's it? The enemy has control over the army....! "
"It's okay. I have the Green Dragon on my left and the White Tiger on my right. I'll kill anyone who stands in my way!"
"What the hell are you talking about!!!"
As they spoke, Reston Fortress was already in sight. As the headquarters of the Kingdom of Libel, which had once shone brightly in the Hundred Days War, it was naturally heavily guarded. The steel gate was tightly shut, and there was a long suspension bridge connecting the fortress. Seeing the pitch-black chariot rushing towards them, a warning soon came from Reston Stronghold.
"All vehicles in front, slow down immediately and stop for inspection! You have invaded a restricted military zone. I repeat, you have invaded a restricted military zone....!! "
However, in the face of the warning, Fangzheng was not afraid at all. He gently pressed his left thumb under the steering wheel. The next moment, a beam of light suddenly emerged from the front of the black tank and directly bombarded the steel gate of Reston Fortress. In the blink of an eye, the three-layered steel gate that was hard enough to withstand artillery fire melted like butter. Then, the black tank roared and rushed into the fortress. It made a turn and stopped steadily on the training ground.
At the same time, hundreds of fully-armed soldiers rushed over in a hurry. They raised their weapons and surrounded the black tank. Then, a man in military uniform with a somewhat miserable expression walked out.
"Who are you? Why are you trespassing into Reston Fortress? "
Amidst the man's angry roar, Fangzheng opened the door and got out of the car. Seeing his bold move, Estelle, Joshua and Tita were all shocked.
There were hundreds of fully-armed soldiers outside!!
"Who are you?"
"I'm Major Sid of Reston Fortress. Who are you and why are you trespassing?"
"You don't need to know who I am."
Fangzheng waved his hand.
"I'm only here for one thing. Hand over Dr. Lasalle who was kidnapped by you."
"What, what are you talking about?"
Major Sid's expression changed when he heard Fangzheng's words.
"I don't know what you're talking about. Men, arrest them!!"
As he spoke, Major Sid waved his hand, and soon, several soldiers walked towards Fangzheng's side. However, facing these armed soldiers, Fangzheng put his hands behind his back and narrowed his eyes at them. Then, he snorted coldly.
"Hmph."
It was just a nasal snort.
But when Estelle and the other two heard the voice in the car, their expressions changed. They felt as if the voice was coming from their own hearts, knocking hard on their chests, giving them an indescribable feeling of discomfort. But the soldiers in front of Fangzheng seemed to be in an even worse state. Most of them directly rolled their eyes and fainted on the ground. Only a few of them barely withstood the sudden eruption of Dragon's Might from Fangzheng. But even so, they were not much better off.
"Who, who are you!?"
Major Sid, who had collapsed on the ground, looked at Fangzheng with fear. His whole body was trembling uncontrollably. Looking at Fangzheng in front of him, he was like a ferocious beast that he could not understand. Even though Major Sid tried to stand up, his body seemed to be completely out of his control.
"Listen, I know that the intelligence department has put Princess Colodiya under house arrest and used her as a bargaining chip to threaten Her Majesty the Queen. That's why they put on such a clown show."
"…"
Upon hearing Rhode's words, Major Sid's body shuddered. The soldiers who weren't unconscious burst into an uproar. Most of them didn't know what happened. Even though they knew that the situation in the fortress wasn't right for the past two days, they couldn't help but sigh. But they didn't expect such a thing to happen!
"So I'll ask you again. Where is Dr. Russell? This is the last time. If you're still unwilling to cooperate, I'll have to look for him myself. "
"Wait, wait a minute."
Sensing the murderous intent in Fangzheng's eyes, Major Sid hurriedly raised his hand.
"I-I'll take you to Dr. Russell. Don't attack the other soldiers. They're just following orders!"
After Major Sid said this, he felt the invisible pressure on his body disappear in an instant. He regained control of his originally uncontrollable body.
"Okay, since you said so, lead the way."
"… Come with me."
Soon, under Major Sid's lead, they found the imprisoned Dr. Russell. Fortunately, he seemed to be completely uninjured.
"Grandpa — —!!"
Tida couldn't hold back anymore. She cried and threw herself at Dr. Russell, hugging him tightly. Dr. Russell was taken aback when he saw his granddaughter in his arms. He glared at Major Sid.
"You're despicable and shameless. Is it not enough to capture me? You want to capture my granddaughter too?"
"No, it's not like that, Grandpa. We're here to save you!"
Upon hearing Dr. Russell's words, Tida hurriedly spoke. At the same time, Fangzheng walked into the room and waved at Dr. Russell.
"Yo, Dr. Russell, you're still alive? I'm relieved to see you in such good spirits. "
"Fangzheng? What's going on? "
"Okay, I've returned the doctor to you."
Major Sid stared at Fangzheng with a bitter expression.
"But I have to tell you that what happened here will soon be known by the intelligence department. They have already used the excuse of searching for the escaped royal guards to seal off all the docks and checkpoints. Not only that, even General Morgan is under house arrest, and most of the family members of the military officers are being held as hostages, so the military can't move at all. "
"It's just an intelligence department, but it's quite capable."
Hearing Major Sid's words, Fangzheng snorted coldly.
"What are you going to do? Mr. Fangzheng? "
"Although strictly speaking,
I should have brought you back to life, then brought your weapons and fought with me to King City. But obviously, this isn't a good idea … Fortunately, I'm prepared. "
As he spoke, Fangzheng connected to his personal terminal.
"Ling, activate the Blizzard and come to Fort Preston."
"…"
"Hmm? Ling? Do you hear me? "
"Wait, big brother!!"
However, this time, Fangzheng heard Ling's exasperated voice.
"Wait for me to take care of these two intruders!"
"Who are you calling an intruder, you thieving cat! Do you really think I'm afraid of you?! "
"Wahhh, don't hit me, don't hit me … Didn't Master give an order?"
"This won't do. I must determine the victor between us today! Take this! Nightmare Revolution! "
"Hehehe, you're just an idiot after all. Do you think you can hit me with that? Traceon！！”
"…"
Hearing the voice from the personal terminal, Fangzheng's eyebrows twitched.
He wasn't sure if he was hearing things, but he seemed to have heard two very familiar voices.
