(Today's Chapter 1)
The 144th "Day of Celebration" (Part 1)
Roland Empire, year 960, June 12, Summer Festival Day.
Sunny.
Since early on, the Imperial Capital's Public Security Department had already dispatched all of their forces to patrol the area. But what made the Imperial Capital's Public Security Department's Commander Sack feel strange was that early in the morning, even before the sun had even risen, a group of soldiers from the Imperial Capital's Public Security Department had already appeared on the streets.
These soldiers were obviously mobilized from the four citadels surrounding the Imperial Capital. Their armor was bright, and they were fully armed. Each and every one of them looked as if they were about to face a great enemy. This situation made Commander Sack very surprised: Although the Imperial Capital's public security has been somewhat chaotic due to the influx of outsiders, but this is still an annual festival celebration. Is there a need to make it look like they're about to face a great enemy?
With a glance, Commander Sack was able to see that something was wrong: These soldiers weren't wearing uniforms meant for the celebration, but rather, they were completely prepared for battle! All of the soldiers were wearing new armor that they had just changed into this summer, with a long sword hanging from their waist and a shield in their hand.
The highest-ranking officer of the Public Security Bureau stood on the street and frowned as he watched a group of guards quickly pass by. His heart was full of doubts. He immediately returned to his office in the Public Security Bureau and called for one of his subordinates. He told him to immediately go to the Military High Command for instructions.
But soon, bad news came back. Even the four teams of Public Security Department's soldiers that Commander Sack had dispatched early in the morning came back with a report saying that the Imperial Capital's Public Security Department's soldiers were obstructing their patrols.
While Sack was fuming with anger, a man wearing the uniform of an Imperial Capital's Public Security Department came in. Looking at the insignia on his chest, he was a 5th rank Knight, Deputy Commander.
"Commander Sack!" With a cold face, this guy directly rushed into Commander Sack's office with two of his subordinates and loudly read out an order: "Special order from the high command: In order to maintain the public security of the Imperial Capital, the Imperial Capital's Public Security Department will be temporarily under the command of the Imperial Capital's Public Security Department. Everything will be under the command of the Imperial Capital's Public Security Department. Everything will be under the command of the Imperial Capital's Public Security Department, General Jean Claude!"
With that, this guy placed the military order on Sack's desk.
General Jean Claude of the Wang Family's 2nd Division?
Jean Claude's Wang Family's 2nd Division is responsible for the defense of the Imperial Capital! What right do you have to control our Security Department!
The 39 year old Sack looked at the military order in front of him. It clearly had the signature of Earl Raymond from the Rowling family as well as the seal of the high command.
Sack suddenly felt a chill in his heart … Could it be that something bad was about to happen? Historically, the Imperial Guards were in charge of the outer city defense, while the Public Security Bureau was in charge of the inner city. This was a clear order. But the Imperial Guards suddenly took the order from the High Command and asked to take over all the authority of the Public Security Office.
Sack understood in his heart that even if the official document from the high command is real, it is still very inappropriate to use legal procedures! To fully take over the Imperial Capital, His Majesty's personal order was required! But looking at the cold eyes of the unfamiliar Imperial Guard officer in front of him, Sack realized that the other party's hand was already on the hilt of his sword. If he dares to refuse, then he's afraid that the other party will immediately make a move!
Sack is very clear about his own strength. Although he has the title of a 4th rank Knight, but in the world, his strength is not even close to reaching the 3rd rank. It's only because of his family's influence that he was able to hold this high position in the Public Security Bureau. He couldn't help but look outside the door, cursing the guards under him for being too negligent! They actually let these guys in so casually! Although these guys have an emergency military order in their hands, they should have at least reported it!
"Okay … …" Sack hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he didn't dare to refuse. Hesitating for a moment, he asked: "I don't know how the military wants our Public Security Bureau to cooperate?"
"It's very simple." The unfamiliar Imperial Guard officer loosened his grip on the hilt of his sword: "From now on, you will only be responsible for the east side of the city near the Magician's Guild. The other areas will be taken care of by our Imperial Guard. Also … … "A trace of a grin appeared on his face:" According to General Juncker's military order, the Imperial Capital has been in a state of chaos recently. In order to ensure the safety of the Public Security Bureau, as well as the safety of the Imperial Guard, I brought an infantry squadron to guard the Public Security Bureau … … "
Sack immediately became angry: "What! You are openly surrounding the Public Security Bureau!! Audacious! I want to talk to that bastard Juncker! "
"Sorry, this is a military order!" The unfamiliar Imperial Guard officer sneered: "Commander Sack, please cooperate!"
As soon as his voice fell, several soldiers wearing Imperial Guard armor rushed in from the outside. The guards outside the door have already been beaten to the ground. Shocked and angry, Sack fiercely slammed the table and stood up. But then he suddenly saw that the Public Security Bureau's courtyard was full of Imperial Guard soldiers!
In the other offices, the officers and officers of the Public Security Bureau were faced with these heavily armed Imperial Guard soldiers. Looking at the shining swords in their hands, they tactfully retreated back into their rooms.
"Are you trying to rebel!" Sack powerlessly sat down in his chair.
"It's' protection '." The Imperial Guard officer lightly said: "As long as you don't look for trouble, I will ensure your safety!"
Sack is already regretting his action of sending out a large number of Imperial Guard soldiers early in the morning! Most of the Imperial Guard soldiers were sent out to patrol the Imperial Capital early in the morning. As a result, the Public Security Bureau has been taken over by the enemy without any resistance.
"Alright." Sack nodded his head in resignation: "You just said that you want my people to patrol the Magician's Guild, but now you have blocked my people in the Public Security Bureau. How can I send out my orders!"
"It's very simple." The Imperial Guard officer took out a few blank orders from his pocket and placed them in front of Sack: "You just need to give the order, my people will deliver your orders to your men!"
Sack was stunned as he looked at the blank orders in front of him. He reached out and picked up a quill from the table, but his heart was in turmoil. He couldn't help but shake his wrist, causing a drop of thick ink to drip onto the white paper … …

Most people didn't know what happened in the early morning. When the sun came out and the streets were gradually filled with pedestrians, everyone suddenly realized that the patrolling soldiers of the Public Security Bureau had disappeared. Instead, they were replaced by teams of fully armed guards filled with murderous intent.
Each and every one of these Imperial Guard soldiers had an indifferent expression on their face. There wasn't the slightest hint of joy in their faces. Instead, they looked like they were about to go to war. When the pedestrians saw this, they couldn't help but avoid them.
Then came the news: Early in the morning, the several gates of the Imperial Capital were closed. The Imperial Guard issued a notice that the gates were temporarily closed and no one was allowed to enter or leave. Some people questioned, but the other side only said that the Imperial Capital was going to activate the ancient magic array today, so the gates were closed. At the same time, the area around the gates was designated as a restricted area, and no one was allowed to come close.
Although this situation was too strange, but for ordinary people, the word "coup" never crossed their minds. After all, the continent had been peaceful for hundreds of years. Plus, the fact that the Imperial Capital was going to activate the ancient magic array on the Imperial Capital's Day had long been spread. So although everyone was surprised, it didn't cause any panic or disturbance.
In the morning, about three thousand cavalrymen of the Imperial Guard Legion appeared outside the city. These cavalrymen quickly divided into several squadrons and surrounded the city gates of the Imperial Capital.

Du Wei meditated for an entire night. Previously, he had already filled the multicolored stone ring with mana. After a night of meditation, Du Wei had already recovered all of his mana. After getting up, Mard helped him put on the most luxurious robes. Then, the Countess sent someone to deliver a new pair of leather boots to Du Wei.
When Du Wei walked out of his house, he already felt a trace of tension in the atmosphere. The Rollin Family's guards were fully armed. The warriors wore light armor and carried short military crossbows. Three hundred of the Rollin Family's guards were all mounted on horses, waiting at the entrance of the Count's mansion.
Du Wei's father, Count Raymond, came out with Captain Alpha following him. The Count was wearing a military uniform. The well-ironed uniform was clearly meticulously ironed. Even the corners and collar of the shirt were so well-defined. The Count wore long riding boots. Alpha personally led a black warhorse. Wearing a pair of white gloves, the Count looked at his son and lightly said: "Let's go. We're going to the Imperial Capital's Central Square. Today, it's the most lively place. The Imperial Capital's Day ceremony will begin at noon."
What was unusual was that the Count didn't bring his wife along for such a celebration. Instead, he used the excuse that his wife was not feeling well to leave her at home.
Du Wei followed his father to mount the horse. In such a public occasion, in order to highlight the Rowling family's tradition of military achievements, carriages were not allowed. Alpha arranged a fine white horse for Du Wei. Du Wei looked around and suddenly asked: "Brother also won't go?"
"Gabriel … … I had him stay at Mr. Blue Ocean's house." The Count said lightly, then turned his horse to leave. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly looked back at Du Wei: "I … … What I said to you two days ago, did you think it through?"
"I thought it through very well." Du Wei's tone was also very flat. Then he asked: "Father, are you sure?"
"There is nothing in this world that is 100% sure. As long as there is a 70% chance, it's already a very good chance of winning." The Count seemed to smile.
