Extraordinary Rise: Starting Contract with the Silver Dragon Countess

Chapter 237: Silver Frost surrenders—the princes are afraid of his anger, the legendary level is opened, the road to legend! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

In the National Command Committee building, the attack continued without stopping and time passed very quickly.

An hour passed in a flash, and the Third Guard Regiment guarding the National Command Committee building had begun to suffer large-scale casualties, but the support troops still had not arrived.

Faria's face turned serious. He turned to look at Lieutenant General De An, the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Army, who was also in the National Command Committee office, and asked:

"What did Commander Koch say? Even if the direct guard regiment was intercepted by the rebel infantry division, didn't they still dispatch the 5th and 6th guard regiments?

Their base isn't far from here, so why hasn't a single reinforcement arrived in an hour?!"

Lieutenant General De'an's expression also became anxious:
“I have been communicating with General Koch, and he said that the two garrison regiments had just completed a large-scale military exercise, and a large number of their officers were on leave.

It's the middle of the night, and it won't be easy to gather right away. It'll take some time."

Faria cursed:
"What's wrong with these people in the Chief Police Department? Don't they know that we've entered a state of emergency and martial law? Why are they taking a vacation?"

Lieutenant General De'an wanted to retort that the military exercise ended several days ago and the soldiers were exhausted after such a long time, so it was reasonable for them to apply for leave.

As for the emergency curfew, it only started last night. Even if the vacation ended immediately, it would be impossible for everyone to be in place so quickly.

These upper-level leaders who come from aristocratic backgrounds are always like this, not considering the feelings of the grassroots at all.

But looking at Faria's gloomy and furious face, he paused and said:
"I will continue to communicate with Commander Koch to see if we can mobilize other troops."

Even in peacetime, each unit has its own mission, not to mention that now Aife is facing a powerful enemy and is under emergency martial law, so basically each unit has a mission to perform.

It does take some effort to mobilize enough troops on short notice.

Before Faria could express his opinion, suddenly, the city erupted with earth-shaking momentum again.

The sudden outbreak of the aura of fighting between legendary transcendents once again shocked everyone in the National Guidance Committee office.

Faria looked in the direction of the battle, his eyes wide as bells. The location was near the Grand Duke's palace.

Soon, he received a message from Mr. Valin, the Grand Duke's personal guard.

The above news almost made him faint:
“The First Special Operations Regiment of the Special Operations Division is leading an all-out attack on the Grand Duke’s Palace.

Also accompanying them were the Army Military Police Inspector, the Commander of the Third Field Army, the Commander of the Southeast Military Region, and the President of the Army Officer Academy..."

When Faria saw the message from Mr. Varin, he finally understood the ins and outs of the coup.

It turned out to be a coup d'état launched by the army's military police represented by the Army Military Police Inspector!

In this case, Sheppard may not be the real murderer in the Archduke's assassination.

Faria suddenly felt a chill down his spine. What on earth did the other party rely on to come up with such a bold plan?
Could it be that behind this...

Faria instinctively thought of the young king who frightened the entire Silver Frost—the Lord of Effiin, Cohen Corleone.

Such a ruthless and decisive style of action is very similar to that of the fearless young king.

Faria gritted his teeth, pushed aside the liaison office staff, and quickly reported the latest situation to General Koch, commander of the Martial Law Department, and General Mendes, commander of the Special Warfare Department.

When they learned that the driving force behind the coup came from the Army and Military Police faction headed by Army Military Police Inspector Redinoz, the two commanders could not help but shudder.

Although the students of the Army Academy are not as popular as those of the National University's Operations Command College, they are also spread across various units of the Chief Police Department and the Special Warfare Department, and many of them even serve as military commanders.

He has a huge influence in the military.

Who on earth has such great ability to persuade the entire Lu Shi faction to launch a coup?

They absolutely did not believe that a mere military police chief could make so many senior military officers and powerful generals brazenly confront the government.

But it was no use thinking about these things now.

They understood that tonight was a life-or-death decision, and they had to eliminate the coup forces as soon as possible. If they failed, they would become historical sinners and be nailed to the pillar of shame forever.

……

At the Army Military Police Headquarters, everyone looked at the latest intelligence sent over and fell into a strange silence.

Judging from the content of the conversations between Chairman Faria and several commanders, the other party already knew the main force behind the coup.

Cohen's voice slowly rang out:
“Everyone, time is running out, which means we are one step closer to success.

The biggest change now is the 5,000-man 'conventional-level' security brigade stationed at the Special Warfare Division headquarters.

As long as we don't allow this army to join the battlefield, the balance of victory will tilt towards us as time goes by."

Everyone regained their spirits and began to study how to deal with the 5,000-person security brigade.

In the operations room, Colonel Suarez, commander of the 3rd Special Operations Regiment of the Special Operations Division, bit his tongue, his eyes bloodshot, and said in a hoarse voice:

"I go!
I'll go and persuade General Mendes!"

Everyone was shocked and looked back at Suarez, who had rarely made any statements or actions since joining the coup team.

Cohen's eyes moved slightly, and he chuckled:

"Do you have any good ideas, Colonel?

As far as I know, Mendes is also one of the representatives of the NUS faction. Are you confident that you can convince him?"

Suarez took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"Before I entered the Army Academy, I served as a guard under General Mendez... He was the one who recommended me to study at the Army Academy.

At that time, the conflict between the National University faction and the Army and Military Academy faction was not that deep.”

Cohen asked:

"What if you can't do the job?"

A trace of sadness appeared in Suarez's eyes, but it was quickly covered by a burning desire, and his voice became much colder:

"General Mendes is an eighth-level transcendent, and I need help.

If you can't get the job done, then you'll have no choice but to...remonstrate with the military!"

Cohen narrowed his eyes slightly. Suarez was so grateful for his recognition and promotion, but he was willing to betray him. It was a bit cold-hearted.

Very good, people who will do anything for power and desire are easy to use. After all, they are not his subjects, so there is no need to worry about them biting their master.

Cohen turned back to look at the coup team and said:
"An eighth-level warrior would require at least a ninth-level warrior or two eighth-level warriors to completely subdue him."

A field army commander said:

"I'll go. I've never met Mendes before, so I'll just pretend to be Suarez's adjutant."

The commander of the border legion, although also at the eighth level, has been fighting on the border for many years, and his actual combat power can definitely easily defeat Mendes, who sits in the office all day.

Apart from this army commander, no one else meets the requirements.

At this time, someone else suggested:

"Why not send a few more level sevens?"

Cohen shook his head.

"Too many people going there will easily arouse suspicion. How about this? Miss Windsor and I will go there, and you stay at the command center to monitor the progress of the situation. If there are any major changes, have Akdimon notify me immediately."

Several people had also heard about King Eifin's elusiveness and his ability to escape even from Saint-level hands. In addition, he had a winged elf with combat power comparable to that of a peak gold-level elf, so they did not raise any objections.

Suarez took a deep breath and took the eighth-rank army commander with him to the secret agency of the Special Warfare Division headquarters in the northwest suburbs of Frost Star City.

……

The operations command room of the Special Warfare Division headquarters was in a mess. With the rebellion of one of the most elite special forces, the entire Special Warfare Division was in a desperate situation.

The army's special communication stones were lined up in a row in the command room, and Commander Mendes kept calling out to the troops under his command.

Most of the special forces regiments were either impossible to contact or were deliberately shirking responsibility, obviously intending to sit on the sidelines and watch the fight between the two tigers.

In fact, Akdimon had been using his disguised identity as CIA director to secretly monitor incoming military intelligence.

Every unit Mendes called was under surveillance by the coup team.

These senior military personnel are using their connections and influence to the best of their ability, just like they did with the Fifth and Sixth Guard Regiments of the Chief Police Division, to persuade these military commanders not to go down to fight for the time being.

As for the few people Mendes could contact and were willing to go out urgently, it would take at least two hours for them to gather and join the battle.

However, according to the intelligence received, the National Command Committee building can only hold out for another hour at most, and that is when the rebels do not receive any reinforcements.

Intelligence showed that another infantry division under Jose had already reinforced the National Command Committee building, and the Chairman and his men could not hold out for even an hour.

Not only did the National Command Committee need reinforcements, the Grand Duke's Palace was also facing the crisis of being breached.

Although that place is not so important now, there is still the Grand Duke's legitimate son, who is the symbolic leader of the country. If the Grand Duke's legitimate son is captured by the rebels, the government forces will be completely passive.

The situation was extremely urgent. Mendes walked back and forth in the operations room with his hands behind his back, tightly gripping his baton, hesitating whether to dispatch the 5,000-man "conventional-level" security brigade from the headquarters.

The adjutant came to report at this time:
"Commander, Colonel Suarez has arrived and is waiting for you in the office!"

A look of joy appeared on Mendes' face. The appearance of his capable and beloved general at this time might very well turn the tide of the battle. He ordered his men to continue calling the various troops, and then returned to his office.

Suarez and the field army commander disguised as an adjutant were waiting outside the door.

Seeing Mendes coming, he immediately saluted:
"Commander!"

Mendes waved his hand and returned the salute:
"Go in and talk."

Suarez nodded, signaled the "adjutant" to wait at the door, and walked into the special operations commander's office alone.

As soon as Mendes entered the room, he asked:
"You arrived just in time. The entire Frost Star City is now in chaos.

Your troops should be in the south of the city, closest to the Grand Duke's Palace. If we urgently mobilize two battalions, how long will it take?"

Suarez took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said:
"Commander, my troops are not in the south of the city now."

Mendes looked stunned as he looked at Suarez who suddenly became serious.

Suarez lowered his head and said slowly:

"Commander, I just came from the Inspector General of the Military Police."

Hearing Redinozz's name, Mendes' face immediately showed deep astonishment. He stood up suddenly and said:
"Damn it, kid, did I hear you wrong? How...how did you get involved with someone like that? You don't know yet, but Redinozz is staging a coup. You'll suffer greatly if you get so close to him!"

Suarez pursed his lips tightly, a look of struggle on his face, and after a long pause, he said:
"Commander, General Redinolz wishes to speak with you."

Mendes's towering body trembled violently, and a cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes.

He understood that the confidant he had personally promoted and trained was actually standing against him, and a chill like a cold wind rushed through his chest.

His face showed a look of disappointment, and he said with deep sorrow:

"Suarez, you are not only a soldier, but also the commander of the 3rd Special Operations Regiment of the Special Operations Division!

The army is like a big family, and superiors and subordinates are like father and son. How come you are all going to betray me, a commander who treats you like treasures? "

The muscles on Suarez's face trembled violently, his eyes were slightly red, and his voice was hoarse:

"Commander, listen to me... Most of the military commanders in the capital area are on General Redinolz's side, and behind General Redinolz is an extremely powerful figure.

By doing this, we are actually saving Yin Shuang!"

Mendes' face turned pale and he cursed:

"Listen carefully, you bastard! Our army is here to protect our country and its people, not to engage in politics. Furthermore, you're attacking our officers and our lord. This is rebellion!"

Suarez continued:

"Commander, it's useless. The situation is hopeless. The National Control Committee can't hold on, and neither can the palace. If General Redinolz can obtain the order from the Grand Duke's son, re-elect the National Control Committee and a new chairman, then everything tonight will become a glorious revolution. You must..."

Mendes rudely interrupted Suarez and said angrily:
"Boy, what nonsense are you talking about?
It seems that you can't even listen to what I say. It seems that you have been fooled by Redinozz.

Without further ado, just stay at the headquarters and wait for me to blow all the rebels to the ground before I come and deal with you!"

Suarez's voice was filled with undeniable stubbornness:

"No, I can't stay here."

Mendes looked deeply at his beloved general and sighed deeply:

"Suarez, it seems that our fate ends here!"

He waved his baton:

"Let's go."

Suarez slowly knelt down from the sofa:

"Commander, please kill me.

Otherwise, the commander and I will be on hostile terms once we leave the house!"

Mendes stood up with a bang, turned his back to Suarez, and said coldly:

"Get out of here!"

Suarez lowered his head, slowly stood up, saluted Mendes, and left the office.

Mendes became much more depressed, but soon, there was a loud noise outside the office, the door was kicked open, and a strong soldier rushed in.

Mendes' face was filled with rage, and he shouted angrily:
"who!"

The man rushed towards Mendes without saying a word.

Mendes' heart skipped a beat, and he immediately realized the other party's intention, and reached out to touch the magic weapon on his body.

However, before he could get the golden magic scroll that could save his life, his head suddenly hurt.

A brilliant golden light curtain suddenly appeared in the room and sucked away all the magic equipment on his body.

Rules and skills, the king’s treasure!
Cohen's figure slowly emerged, looking at the special forces commander with interest.

Mendes, who had been in the office for a long time and had little contact with actual combat, and had lost all his magic equipment, was obviously no match for the field army commander and was captured in a short time.
At this time, the guards finally heard the noise and surrounded the Special Warfare Department office.

Windsordeler raised his eyebrows slightly, waved his hand lightly, and quickly set up a magic circle in the office to isolate the breath and sound.

Suarez also closed the door at this time, blocking the outside, and shouted angrily at the guards who came:
"What are you doing? Rebellion?"

The guard commander stopped and looked at Colonel Suarez, Commander Mendes' most trusted man. A look of hesitation crossed his face as he asked:
"Colonel, I just sensed traces of magical fluctuations in the commander's office. Is something wrong?"

Suarez had a stern look on his face:
"The general had a problem with his training and is currently recuperating inside. It's nothing serious.

You all look so nervous. This is the Special Warfare Division headquarters, what could possibly go wrong?"

Suarez angrily cursed the guard chief:

"How many times have I told you that when you work for the commander, can you be more calm and behave like a general?

The commander is recuperating at this critical moment. If you disturb him again, I will immediately send you to the gendarmerie!

What are you still standing there for? Do you have to wait for me to kick you out one by one?"

The guard chief was a little confused by the scolding. Usually, Suarez relied on the commander's favor and was very domineering in the special operations department. Now seeing the other party so angry, he didn't dare to say anything.

He suppressed his humiliation, saluted, and quietly retreated.

Suarez snorted coldly, looked around, asked his men to guard the door, and walked back in.

Mendes had been completely subdued by the commander of the field army. His face was ashen and his eyes were filled with rage. He did not look at Suarez who had betrayed him, but stared at Cohen.

He has recognized Cohen's identity!
Not to mention that Cohen's image had already spread to the top of Yinshuang, the elf with a stunning face beside Cohen alone could prove his identity.

Mendes' voice was hoarse and he coughed violently a few times:
“You…you are King Effiin!

It was you who was behind this, you bastard!
Why not just fight it out in earnest instead of resorting to such conspiracy and intrigue!
Our Silver Frost soldiers are not all ballless cowards like Redinois and Suarez!"

Cohen chuckled:
“Why do I feel like General Redinolz and his men are the heroes who saved this country from war?

Alright, Commander, you should take a good rest here and wait for Silver Frost to welcome her new master!"

……

In the National Steering Committee building, the remaining standing members of the National Steering Committee were completely frightened and panicked.

For such a big country, at the critical moment, there was not a single army coming to reinforce.

Chairman Faria cursed while holding the communication stone:

“What are the people from the Chief Police Department and the Special Warfare Department doing?
Commander Koch, tell me, if other armies cannot be mobilized, why can't you even command the security brigade directly under the Special Operations Command?

What is Mendes doing? Why can't he be contacted at this time?

Could it be that he also participated in the rebellion? "

In the martial law headquarters, Koch was already in a panic. He had never expected that even the last trump card, the Special Warfare Command's troops, could not be mobilized.

He even considered transferring field troops from outside the city, but due to the "glorious deeds" of the previous Army Chief of Staff, Viscount Claude, and the large number of military veterans from the Army, led by Redinolz, he got in the way.

Not a single unit in the five major military regions was willing to give a clear response.

Koch felt a chill in his heart.

He couldn't even rely on his own army, let alone the nobles in the country who were used to being fence-sitters.

Until there was a loud bang, and a mournful cry came from the direction of the Grand Duke's Palace. It was the voice of the legendary guards.

Not long after, despairing intelligence arrived: the Grand Duke's legitimate son had signed a warrant and announced it to the entire Frost Star City through the Silver Frost Light Curtain.

Abolish all positions of the current Chairman of the National Command Committee, Faria, and Martial Law Commander Koch!
The chairman of the National Command Committee will be re-elected in three days, and the martial law commander will be General Redinois, the Army Military Police Inspector!

And through the CIA's intelligence system, in the name of the Grand Duke's legitimate son, an announcement was issued to administrative agencies, the military, and field nobles across the country, declaring Faria, Koch, and Mendes traitors!
Anyone who sees these three people can arrest them, and if they resist, they can be shot dead.

Koch felt as if he had been hit by a club. He collapsed in the command chair and looked at the panic-stricken command room in a daze.

……

A mechanical voice rang in Cohen's ears:
"Without sacrificing a single soldier, a country was successfully brought to its knees.

You are the one who opens the prelude to the hegemony of all nations!

Corleone, your fame will once again resound across the continent.

Legendary level, open! "

Cohen's eyes showed surprise. He had just reached the silver level, but he could already unlock the legendary level?
The prerequisite for entering the legendary level is that the legendary degree must exceed 100.

Cohen glanced at his data panel and saw that his legend level had reached a terrifying 300.

Normally, when a transcendent breaks through to the seventh golden stage, the values of the five basic attributes will begin to add up and generate legendary levels.

The legendary level of most extraordinary people is around seventy, and the rest have to rely on acquired improvement.

This is also the biggest chasm that stands in front of all the gold-level powerhouses who want to break through the legendary level.

Improving your legend level seems simple; you just need to increase your influence and popularity.

To put it bluntly, it means letting more people know about your reputation.

However, it is difficult to implement in practice. Although a gold-level transcendent is powerful, it is extremely difficult for him to make a name for himself in the vast Demonic Tide Continent.

What this world lacks the least is genius!
Therefore, the [International Nobles Martial Arts Festival] held every ten years is the most anticipated event on the entire continent. It is one of the few opportunities to become famous on the continent and accumulate legendary status!
Almost every extraordinary person of appropriate age who is well-known in the country will sign up to participate in the competition.

As for some people who do not have noble status, that is not a problem at all. As long as they are good enough, the great nobles in the country will take the initiative to come to them and grant them a temporary noble title.

As long as they can become famous in the fighting festival, the nobles who invest can also share in this legendary status.

In every [Noble Martial Arts Festival], many extraordinary people with outstanding talents will emerge.

Adele first became famous at the [Noble Fighting Festival] eight years ago.

Not only was she recognized as the most beautiful woman in the continent with her stunning looks and temperament, but she also used her unrivaled strength to cleanly defeat the favorite to win the title at the time, the young princess of the Central Empire and the current empress of the Central Empire, Shanice Klein!

Achieve the title of "The Strongest Silver" in the continent!
