Sheriff's Department.
Cortsim walked around anxiously in the hall of the government office.
The battle had been going on for more than an hour, and there was still no news, which was very worrying.
He couldn't bear it anymore and shouted: "People from outside come in" A soldier walked in and said: "Sir" "Is there any news about the battle at the palace?"
"Sir, the Royal Guards have enforced martial law around the palace.
The patrolling city guard brothers cannot get close.
I don't know the specific situation happening inside."
Cortsim waved his hand and sent the soldiers away.
Not long after, a petty official came up and said, "My lord, Ferlandrius has brought someone here."
Cortsim was stunned, "What does Ferlandrius want to do with how many people he brought here?"
The junior official said: "He said that the palace is being attacked by prisoners, and he came to discuss reinforcements with the adults."
Cortsim thought for a moment and waved: "Let's go out and meet him."
"Yes, my lord" Cortsim came to the door with some soldiers from the Sheriff's Department.
Ferlandrius was riding a horse at the front, followed by nearly two hundred soldiers.
As he walked, he shouted: "Ferlandrius General Liusi, why did you bring so many people to the Sheriff’s Department?”
Ferlandrius said loudly: "Lord Cotesim, don't you know that the direction of the palace is being attacked by prisoners?"
Cortsim said: "Of course I know, does this have anything to do with your arrival?"
Ferlandrius said: "Of course, the palace was attacked by the prisoners.
The situation is very critical.
We believe that reinforcements from our city guards are necessary."
Cortsim spread his hands: "General, I also want to reinforce, but I am only a peace officer, and I only care about the security of Constantinople.
Such a large-scale battle is not within the scope of the Sheriff's Department at all, so it is very difficult Feel sorry" Ferlandrius looked very ugly.
He endured it and said: "Since your Excellency is not going to reinforce, please order your people to get out of the way.
I will take my people to reinforce."
Cortsim said: "I am very clenched.
I have not received the relevant orders, so I cannot meet the general's requirements."
Ferlandrius was furious: "Lord Cortsim, you are also an official of the empire after all, but you are indifferent to the attack by the prisoners on the palace.
What on earth do you have in mind?"
"Whoosh!"
As he was speaking, an arrow suddenly shot out from the soldiers behind Ferlandrius, and the arrow hit Cortsim's chest.
"Ah" Cortsim yelled and fell backwards.
An official shouted: "Protect your lord Ferlandrius, you are trying to kill your lord, kill me!"
Several soldiers from the Sheriff's Department immediately carried Cotesim, who had been hit by an arrow, to the rear.
Other soldiers drew their swords and attacked Ferlandrius and his men.
Ferlandrius was overjoyed when he saw Cotesim falling down after being shot by an arrow.
He immediately drew his sword and pointed forward: "Everyone, listen to the order.
Cotesim is plotting a rebellion and is the mastermind behind the attack on the palace.
Kill me
.
" "
The "killing" city guard soldiers rushed forward with swords and guns, and a large-scale killing soon broke out in the Sheriff's Department.
Under the command of Ferlandrius, his city guard soldiers attacked in a very organized manner, but the soldiers of the Sheriff's Department without the command of Cortsim were in chaos, their morale was shaken, and they soon couldn't hold on and began to retreat, and the battle Gradually transferred within the Sheriff's Department.
After losing some soldiers in command, the officials and soldiers of the Sheriff's Department finally couldn't stand it anymore and were completely defeated.
Many people dropped their weapons and surrendered, and more people fled in all directions.
Ferlandrius rushed into the main hall of the Sheriff's Department with his troops, but did not find Cortesim.

He immediately waved his hand: "Search for me."
"Yes, my lord" After searching for a quarter of an hour, Cortesim was still not found.
All the search teams sent people to report that Cortesim was not found.
"Impossible, it is absolutely impossible for Cortsim to disappear out of thin air.
There must be a secret passage leading to the outside.
Keep searching," Ferlandrius shouted.
An officer next to him reminded: "General, we don't have time.
You must control the other half of the city guards in Cortsim as soon as possible.
We must go to the palace immediately for reinforcements."
After being reminded like this, Ferlandrius immediately came to his senses and gritted his teeth: "Let him go far away.
We will deal with him after we have killed all the prisoners who attacked the palace."
Cotesim's life and death are unknown.
The officials and soldiers of the Sheriff's Department have fallen into disarray.
The city guard officers and soldiers on duty outside are also confused.
Ferlandrius accuses Cotesim of inciting the prisoners to rebel.
He is wanted by order , and ordered other units of the city guard to obey his orders.
After some twists and turns, he quickly subdued the other half of the city guard after killing a few of Cortsim's trusted officers.
Under his leadership, they concentrated on the city.
Most of the Guardsmen immediately reinforced the palace.
After the reinforcements arrived, the emperor immediately ordered the city guards to replace the imperial guards and attack the prisoners occupying the inner palace.
The prisoners immediately felt the pressure increase.
After the battle lasted for an hour, the prisoners gradually couldn't hold it any longer.
Reese went to Chiboas and said, "We can't hold it any longer.
Where did these city guards come from?
Don't you mean Lord Cortsim?"
Will it contain Ferlandrius?
Why are there so many city guards here?
I estimate that more than half of the city guards are here."
Chiboas had already sensed that something was wrong.
After listening to Reese's words, he sighed: "Maybe there is something wrong with Mr.
Cortsim, otherwise there would not be so many city guards coming to the palace for reinforcements.
It seems that we It’s going to fail” Reese was worried: "What should we do now?
Our escape route is blocked.
There is another problem with Lord Cortsim.
We are now in a desperate situation.
If we don't find a way, I will be dead."
Chiboas had no idea that things would develop to this point.
He looked towards a palace to the west, where Queen Maria was imprisoned.
If he hadn't tried his best to stop it, Queen Maria would have been insulted or beaten by the prisoners.
He was killed, and now he had no choice but to use Queen Maria as a life-saving charm.
Chiboas said to Reese: "There is no other way now.
We can only use our last trump card as a life-saving talisman.
Bring Queen Maria back as a hostage and let the emperor order a pardon for all of us. " Reese's eyes lit up, he patted his thigh and said, "Yes, why didn't I think of that?
Come on, go and bring Queen Maria back."
Several prisoners quickly came over with Queen Maria on their backs.

They were quite polite to her.
She was a queen after all.
Although she came from a civilian family, she had gained some dignity and nobility after being in the palace for so long.
It seemed that It seems somewhat inviolable.
Chiboas said to Rhyses: "Take Queen Maria to negotiate terms with the emperor and ask him to order a pardon for all of us.
If he does not agree, threaten to kill Queen Maria."
Reese was a little worried, "What if he regrets it?"
Chiboas shook his head and said: "Impossible.
There are so many ministers, city guard soldiers and imperial guard soldiers outside.
How can he go back on what he said as the emperor?"
"I understand, okay, I'll go," Reese said, immediately escorting Queen Maria to the front and asking someone to hold up a piece of white cloth.
The emperor who was directing the attack outside raised his hand when he saw it, and a general immediately ordered the soldiers to stop the attack.
Constantine VI said to Alexius beside him: "Send someone to ask."
Before Alexius could agree, everyone saw a woman being pushed against the wall.
Some ministers had sharp eyes and quickly saw that the woman was Queen Maria.
"Oh my God, these damn prisoners captured Queen Maria" The situation was quickly reported to Constantine VI.
After hearing this, his face changed drastically, and he immediately walked to the front regardless of the danger and saw that it was indeed Queen Maria.
I only heard a strong prisoner who was guarding Queen Maria shouting: "I am Reeses, Queen Maria is in our hands.
If His Majesty the Emperor doesn't want anything to happen to Queen Maria, please ask His Majesty the Emperor to pardon us."
Everyone's crime, restore our freedom, otherwise I can hardly guarantee that anything will happen to Queen Maria."
The ministers and generals were all dumbfounded, and many of them were frightened.
"Now we are in big trouble.
The queen has fallen into the hands of the prisoners.
What should we do now?"
Constantine VI's face instantly turned green, red, and white, and he felt huge waves in his heart.
The queen fell into the hands of these vicious prisoners, so whether she was insulted or not, no matter what happened to her This treatment is a great shame for him as an emperor. , even if she is still intact, what will the subjects outside think?
They will only think about the worst possibility.
Even if he agrees to the prisoners' request and Queen Maria is saved, he, the emperor, will still have to go north to be humiliated. , maybe the subjects will say that the queen is already a broken shoe.
The more Constantine VI thought about it, the darker his face became, and finally turned into a cold one.
He almost gritted his teeth and shouted in a low voice: "Alexius" "Your Majesty" Alexius stepped forward and asked.
Constantine VI's eyes never left Queen Maria for a moment.
He whispered: "Find a sharpshooter and kill her."
"who" "she" Alexius trembled all over and almost fell to his knees.
He trembled all over and said: "Your Majesty, I don't dare, I don't dare."
Constantine VI turned to stare at Alexius: "You have to disobey my order."
"I don't dare, I don't dare to disobey your majesty's order.
I'll go right away."
Alexius was so frightened that he peed.
At this time, he had no doubt that if he didn't agree, the emperor would immediately order to kill him.
The sharpshooter found it quickly.
At an angle that no one paid attention to, the arrow flew out and hit Maria on the wall.
Queen Maria fell on her back after being hit by the arrow.
Constantine VI made a shrill cry: "Come from Mayali, attack me.
Attack and kill them.
Kill them all, leaving no one behind."

The emperor's will was completely implemented at this moment, and the queen was actually shot to death in full view of the public.
The emperor was furious.
Everyone knew that if anyone was cheating at this time, the emperor would definitely settle the score with him afterwards.
No one dared to do so.
At this time, the emperor was in trouble.
The queen was shot dead in public, which was also a huge shame for the attacking city guards, who completely ignored their existence.
Therefore, the generals and officers of the city guards led the soldiers and rushed to the city without fear of death.
In the inner palace, a large number of siege tools were brought over.
The prisoners' last amulet was gone, their morale plummeted, and they could no longer withstand the fierce attack of the city guards.
An opening was finally opened, and a large number of city guards followed this opening and entered the inner palace.
The prisoners were still at first.
When they were resisting, they soon became unable to stop them.
People's hearts were at odds, and their morale was No more, this battle was impossible to fight.
Everyone began to focus on their own lives, but they had no place to escape.
Many people began to drop their weapons and kneel down to surrender, but no one paid attention to those who surrendered.
They were all hacked to death. , because the emperor has given an order to kill them all and leave no one behind.
After dawn, the battle ended.
There were corpses and blood everywhere inside and outside the palace.
Many palaces were burned down in the battle last night.
Many precious palace utensils and furnishings were destroyed in the battle.
Outside the city, a cartload of corpses was pushed to the edge of the mass grave.
Several corpse collectors dropped the corpses and left quickly.
Soon, there was a sudden movement in the pile of corpses.
A bloody hand stretched out from the pile of corpses.
The corpse on top was overturned.
A soldier wearing a city guard uniform stood up from the pile of corpses. , he was clearly Chiboas who led the prisoners to attack the palace.
The operation failed, but almost all the prisoners and people who knew about the plan were dead.
He was the only one who survived.
He looked at the countless corpses at his feet and whispered: "There is no proof of death.
Even if the emperor knows that it was ordered by the Empress Dowager Irina, what can he do?"
How about it" After saying that, Chiboas took off his bloody armor and quickly disappeared
