Now that the subhuman union has been successfully expelled, Owen should also go back, and the internal affairs of the kingdom have not yet been dealt with.Taking this opportunity, he plans to rectify the nobles in the south, take back all the power of these people, and further consolidate the centralized power.Speaking of which, it is really thanks to this Southern Rebellion, almost all the southern nobles who are greedy for life and afraid of death have all gone to Lion's Roar City for refuge, and they don't have to deal with it one by one.Before leaving, Owen left a People's Army to garrison the Great Wall of the Border, defending against foreign enemies while supervising the subhuman race in the captive camp.The heavy artillery and heavy machine guns brought with them were also left here, which were used to strengthen the Great Wall of the Frontier against enemies, and the arsenal in Dawn City could be rebuilt before winter set in anyway.After explaining the mission to the garrison, Owen led the rest of the soldiers to set off north on the battleship King and the cement steamer.The father and son, Gula and Haw, were also taken away.Passing through Bibo County, the fleet paused for a moment to recuperate, then turned its ship around and sailed westward, heading to Lion's Roar City.In order to welcome the triumphant return of the new king, Count Claude sent people to clean the docks, and arranged decorations such as silk and bunting on the road to the lord's castle, and the scene was even more grand than when Owen first came.The news of the new king's repulsion of the subhuman union spread around the city and outside, and the people were hotly discussed.Especially the refugees outside the city, their gratitude to Owen cannot be expressed in words.On the day the mighty fleet arrived in Lion's Roar, Count Claudius once again led a group of nobles out of the city to meet the new king at the docks.In addition to the nobles, many commoners spontaneously came to the docks to meet the king who had quelled the rebellion in the South.If it weren't for the patrols maintaining order, there might have been some kind of congestion at the scene.Seeing that the people supported the new king like this, the nobles next to Count Reargan couldn't help but be a little worried, and leaned over and whispered: "I didn't expect the new king to be so popular, will our rebellion arouse the anger of the people?"
”"What is there to fear from a bunch of untouchables?"
Count Reargan, however, disagreed, and replied disdainfully: "If they dare to make trouble, they will send knights to suppress it, kill a few more people, and they will be honest." ”"That's right."
The nobleman should be reconciled.The steel battleship at the front slowly approached and docked at the edge of the dock.Although it was not the first time he had seen it, the nobles present were still shocked.Count Reargan's eyes were full of envy, he had coveted this big iron ship for a long time, if only he had one.If this operation is successful, I wonder if the army will be able to force the army to hand over the big iron ship.Count Reargan couldn't help but think of himself commanding the big iron ship, and it must have been a cool feeling.There were several cement steamers behind them, which did not slow down, but turned around and continued their voyage to the north, with the lizardmen and the Guela father and son on board.There is no need for the lizardmen to appear on the docks for the time being, it is easy to cause panic among the nobles, and they will return to Dawn City by boat, and then walk back to Mystery City by land.In addition, Rusha is also tasked with spying on the father and son of Gula and leading them to visit Dawn City and Mystery City.The soldiers on the battleship King walked down the dock one after another, lined up neatly on both sides."
How's the preparation going at the lord's castle?"
Another cautious nobleman leaned over and asked."
It was perfect."
Count Reargan said confidently, "With the active cooperation of Count Claude, this plan is absolutely seamless." ”"That's good."
As soon as the words ended, the welcome band blew the loud trumpet, and the new king disembarked.The Count of Reargan immediately withdrew his sinister smile and moved forward with the welcoming procession, saluting respectfully to congratulate the new king on his triumph.When Count Claude invited Owen to the celebration banquet, Count Reargan and other nobles couldn't help but get nervous.If the new king still does not agree, then all the preparations will be in vain."
Okay."
Owen smiled and accepted the invitation."
Since it's a banquet to celebrate victory, it would be too impersonal if I didn't go."
Hearing this, Count Reargan and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief that the plan could finally be implemented as usual.Next, Count Claude ordered the knights to clear the way ahead and escort the new king into the city.As Count Reargan had expected, Owen was accompanied by only fifty or so bodyguards, and most of the soldiers would rest in the barracks they had previously stationed outside the city.When the time comes to the banquet, the new king will bring fewer guards, and tonight's plan will definitely come true!
Staring at Owen's back from behind, the expression on the face of Count Reargan in the crowd gradually became gloomy, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.As soon as I walked out of the dock, the people outside flocked to welcome me.Owen waved to them in response.Night falls.The whole lion's roar city is brightly lit, the people are celebrating the triumph of the new king, and there are various performances and stalls on the street, which is very lively, and it is like a festival.The feast was held in the halls of the castle of the lords, and the Count of Claude sent a man to collect all kinds of food and have the chef cook it into a variety of dishes to be brought to the table.The nobles enjoyed their food while waiting for the new king to appear.Count Reargan had no appetite, so he ate a few bites casually, and his mind was all about the actions to be done.Can it be done?
It's up to tonight.Before the banquet began, Count Claude had secretly informed Count Reargan that all the knights had been ambushed.Obviously, everything is ready, but he doesn't know what's going on, but he has been haunted by indescribable uneasiness in his heart, and he has a bad premonition.Count Reargan thought that his hunch had always been accurate.As a child, he was playing in the courtyard and suddenly had an ominous premonition when he ran to the wall, and subconsciously took a step back, only to have a stone brick fall from it and hit the ground where he had just been.It was in this way that the Count of Reargan believed in his hunch and felt that this was a favor from heaven.Could it be that there is something omission in this plan?
Do you want to stop the operation?
Just as he was hesitating, the new king attended the banquet.Nine people were accompanying the banquet, seven of whom were apparently guards, wearing KPA uniforms that were out of place with the atmosphere of the scene, and carrying a formidable musket behind them.Upon entering the hall, they dispersed, standing in a few corners around them.Just standing there was enough to shock the nobles present.As for the other two, one was Viscount Jarvis, and the other was a striking blue-haired woman, and the evening dress flattered her figure perfectly.I heard that she was the daughter of Viscount Jarvis, and I hadn't seen her before, but who would have thought that taking off her armor and dressing up a little would be so moving, and the male nobles present were all attracted by her.
