(Second Update of the Day)
The 145th chapter "Day of Blood" (part 2)
The originally neat formation of the Royal Army suddenly became chaotic! Before Old Smoke could recover from his shock, he suddenly saw the square formation of the Imperial Guards that was supposed to be in front of the Imperial Guards suddenly turn around in unison after hearing the bugle call!
The fully armed and murderous Imperial Guards were like venomous snakes baring their fangs. All of a sudden, all of them pulled out their long swords and charged at the unprepared Royal Guards behind them!
The moment the two square formations came into contact, the Royal Army was caught off guard and immediately collapsed! Although there were three thousand of them and the enemy only had a thousand …
But, they were completely unprepared. After standing for an entire morning, many of the Royal Army's soldiers were already distracted. There were even some who closed their eyes and pretended to be asleep. Suddenly, their comrades came charging at them. Many of them didn't even have time to react before they were turned into ghosts under the swords of the Royal Army!
Unfortunately, for the sake of simplicity, although these three thousand Royal Army's soldiers were carefully selected to be the strongest and mightiest of the elites, the weapons they were equipped with were thin and shiny swords used for ceremonial purposes. These kind of swords were usually worn by nobles as decorations …. When they encountered an enemy, the Royal Army's standard swords would cut them in half!
Even more unlucky was the fact that the Royal Army's "beautiful" armor didn't have the slightest bit of defensive function! The enemy was obviously also an elite soldier. Often with a swing of their swords, the Royal Army's armor could be easily pierced through!
The surrounding area was already in chaos! Countless onlookers let out frightened screams and ran in all directions. The Royal Army's soldiers that were maintaining order also seemed to have prepared beforehand. They orderly divided into two groups. One group was like a duck herding the frightened crowd away while the other quickly formed a circle around the Royal Army!
Everything seemed to have gone through meticulous preparation!
One by one, the corpses fell to the ground. Under those beautiful silver armors, they had become lifeless and incomplete bodies! Heads rolled to the ground one after another. Bright red blood dyed the green stone pavement red. The golden feathers that were carefully prepared were also dyed a horrifying shade of red by the fresh blood …
Old Smoke was constantly pushed back by this wave of chaos. After a short period of chaos, these three thousand Royal Army's soldiers were carefully selected elites. After suffering heavy casualties, they began to retreat in an organized manner. There were even officers who led them to the back of the civilian merchant's floats!
The Royal Army's crossbows were too powerful against the Royal Army. They could only rely on the long line of floats behind them to find a favorable terrain to resist!
The Royal Army had already pushed to the back of the long line of floats prepared by the Solomon Family. The square formation of the Royal Guards began to disperse, and organized into groups of a few people. Then, they began to exterminate the remaining Royal Army!
Old Smoke had more than a dozen men with him. Just now, he saw his superior, a fourth-level warrior with an arrow pierced through his throat. When he fell to the ground, he was still staring at him with a pair of dead fish eyes.
Old Smoke was completely dumbfounded. He could only rely on his instincts to retreat. In front of him, there were screams of death and blood everywhere! Old Smoke had just blocked the enemy's sword, but the fancy sword in his hand was broken by the enemy. If he didn't dodge fast enough, he would've been hacked to death!
Just as hundreds of people surrounded the Solomon Family's floats to resist, the final blow to these pitiful Royal Army's soldiers was finally thrown out!
The wooden planks of the Solomon Family's' floats', which were shaped like huge wooden coffins, were suddenly flipped open from the inside, revealing densely packed windows the size of a human head. Following which, a metallic, cold radiance was revealed … It was an arrowhead!
Xiu Xiu Xiu Xiu!
All of the floats instantly turned into killing machines that reaped lives! Countless arrows shot out from the floats and the Royal Army's soldiers who were originally leaning against the floats finally collapsed!
In the first wave of arrows, almost half of the Royal Army's soldiers were killed. The rest of the soldiers rushed out with bloodshot eyes and soon died under the swords of the enemy. Some even threw away their weapons and kneeled on the ground to surrender! Unfortunately, the enemy didn't seem to have any intention of keeping captives. More often than not, those who knelt were immediately beheaded by the Royal Army's swords!
Screams! Screams of despair could be heard everywhere! Even at the last moment of their lives, many still didn't understand: Why is this happening!! What the hell is going on!!!
Old Smoke felt his eyes turning red. There were only three people left beside him. Just now, he picked up the sword left behind by one of the city guards who died under the hands of the Yu Lin Army and cut down two more people. Shouting at the top of his lungs: "Run! Run in all directions! Run as many as you can!! Go and report this! The Royal Army has rebelled! They've rebelled!! "
Old Smoke was a third level Knight after all. In the face of life and death, his sword actually emitted a faint glow! That's the sign of breaking through the critical point of martial arts!
Dou Qi!
He was already a low ranking officer, but in this life and death situation, his fighting spirit was forced out and he actually broke through his bottleneck!
However, this was also his misfortune. The enemy immediately noticed Old Smoke's Dou Qi and two of the more powerful soldiers immediately surrounded him. Old Smoke quickly fell into a disadvantageous position and not even a moment later, he was stabbed twice, one of which almost pierced through his shoulder!
Old Smoke let out a beast-like roar. Eyes red, he pounced on the soldier who injured him. Throwing his sword out, he directly plunged it into the enemy's throat …..
However, at the same time, he suddenly felt a light in his heart!
Looking down, he saw an arrow piercing his heart. The black arrow was stained red by the blood he spat out. Old Smoke's throat made a few "ge ge" sounds as his hands tried to grab something. But in the end, he unwillingly fell down.
Before closing his eyes, Old Smoke suddenly had a thought:
Sir ….. That would be such a nice title …..

The wooden planks on the Solomon family's' floats' were all lifted up. From the dozens of floats, a large number of soldiers ran out in a single file. These soldiers all wore light armor and held bows and arrows in their hands. They immediately joined forces with the City Guards who were chasing after the Royal Guards, forming a force!
Close combat with the city guards and archers from the rear …..
The victory square had turned into a slaughterhouse!
A year later, when the military was compiling the details of this coup, the official statistics were as follows:
Three thousand carefully selected elite Royal Army soldiers, in a situation where their equipment was outdated, and coupled with the enemy's insidious tactics, all of them were killed! The city guards that ambushed them only paid a price of less than four hundred men to wipe out three thousand elite Royal Army soldiers!
Four hundred for three thousand ….. What a terrible ratio!
And today, the victory square was covered in a river of blood. The blood flowed into the surrounding canals, causing the water wells around the victory square to still be red even after ten days!
•
"….. Today, I must get an answer, TODAY!!!" Sitting on his horse, the Crown Prince pointed his sharp sword at Augustine the 6th. His originally handsome face was filled with undisguised murderous intent!
Augustine the 6th's hand was trembling, his eyes gloomy. His originally half closed eyelids finally fully opened. The supreme ruler of the empire struggled to stand up. At this moment, the aura of his body suddenly erupted! Even Du Wei, who was far away from him, could feel the anger in the emperor's heart!
The dark clouds in the sky blocked the sun. In the distance of the long street, in the direction of the Victory Square, there was a sudden uproar and panic. The crowd on the street was like a herd of startled horses. They were suddenly thrown into chaos!
The news of the massacre in the victory square had already spread through the crowd. At first, some people didn't believe it, but looking at the panicked people running all the way from the victory square …..
And the waves of majestic wind brought with it a thick smell of blood!
Fear, this kind of thing, quickly spread among the crowd! The first person began to run ….. Then the second, the third ….. and the thousandth …..
The royal guards who were originally guarding the streets suddenly left their posts, no longer paying attention to the chaotic crowd. They quickly gathered, and then very skillfully formed a square formation, and advanced in the direction of the victory square. The sharp formation in front of them didn't hesitate to raise the swords in their hands and cut down everything in front of them that blocked the path in front of them!
Ordinary citizens, merchants, tourists, at this moment, their lives lost their value, only to become a symbol for the butchers to wave their swords!
On the victory square, the Crown Prince was already surrounded by a dense crowd of city guards. Around him, there was a front line of heavy cavalry, plus four square formations of infantry, already a military force of more than ten thousand!
These people firmly surrounded the two sides of the central square. As long as the fleeing crowd didn't run towards the central square, they didn't care, because they only had one goal:
The Imperial Palace!
And on the victory square, the archers of the Solomon family were quickly in position. Thousands of arrows, far away, were pointed at ….. His Majesty the Emperor himself!
In the air, a kind of tension quickly condensed, no one knew when this atmosphere would explode!
