The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem
Chapter 274 On the Eve of Crisis
After Klia and Kuran boarded the magic car prepared by the Royal Guards, the female deputy commander of the Royal Guards explained the current situation to them.
"The news of His Majesty's illness was not spread to the public, and only a very few people knew about it... But three days ago, Duke Oufei suddenly announced the matter to the whole country, and also declared that he would not support the eldest prince to succeed to the throne."
"What...that bastard Morro!"
"Please calm down, Your Highness. This is not entirely a bad thing."
Although she had lost her power, Klia still maintained sufficient rationality at this time, so her anger only lasted for a moment.
At first glance, Duke Oufei's actions exposed the empire's biggest problem - but in fact, this also disrupted the enemy's plans.
"Not long after, the Second Prince led most of the Second Legion to the Imperial Capital... But according to our estimation, they had already been mobilizing the army at least half a month ago."
"Half a month... Wait, who is maintaining the southern defense line?!"
The Second Legion led by the Second Prince was the main force on the southern front.
The Third Army had just withdrawn from the southern front last year, and many veterans and wounded soldiers had already retired. The Fifth Army, which was added this year, was a new army with incomplete personnel and structure, and had little combat effectiveness.
"Because the imperial capital is under blockade, we are currently unable to obtain any information from the outside world... but I think the situation over there is not very optimistic."
"That would be bad. My husband..."
If the southern front is already at a disadvantage, what crisis will Aarons, who is trying to raid the Dusk People, face?
Without the main Second Army, the southern front would find it difficult to withstand the attacks of the Ximu people for a long time - but the Second Prince was determined to attack the imperial capital and forcibly succeed to the throne, and he would definitely not go back.
"Your Highness, we can only try our best to do our own thing now."
“…Ah, that’s right.”
"Noral, let me ask you something else - have you found any suspicious outsiders or suspicious magical devices in the imperial capital in the past few days?"
Because Klia still needed some time to sort out her thoughts, Kuran took the initiative to ask about the key issues.
The Star-Seeking Brigade of the Covenant Alliance - in order to awaken the Child of the Star, they even planned to trigger a psychic explosion in the Imperial Capital.
"Outsiders... Although we haven't found any clues, people close to His Majesty said that His Majesty suddenly fell ill after meeting with a group of scholars from the West."
"It seems that the Star Seeking Group is responsible. Boss, what do you think?"
If people didn't know what happened in the Duke of Booker's territory, most people would just think that all this was planned by the Second Prince to usurp the throne.
But Duke Booker, who supported the second prince, had actually been plotted against by the real enemy a long time ago.
"...Let's talk about it after we see Father."
As the imperial capital could be breached at any time, the formerly prosperous streets were now deserted - because the Second Prince did not stop the residents of the imperial capital from fleeing the city, most people had already left the city.
Even if the magic car was speeding at full speed on this dead silent street, there wouldn't be any problems.
"The Imperial Guards are running low on supplies. We can only hold out for three more days at best... but His Majesty is in no condition to break out with us."
"Wait... Where is His Excellency the Martial God? If it is the Lingqing Martial God, he should be able to take my father away, right?"
"Your Excellency the God of War... after Duke Oufei announced the news that His Majesty was seriously ill, he disappeared together with His Royal Highness the Third Prince who had come to see His Majesty."
Luo Lan actually came to the imperial capital... and was taken away by the Martial God Lingqing?
This unexpected news made Claire's thoughts, which had just been sorted out with great difficulty, confused again.
"Your Highness, I think this is all Duke Oufei's strategy. He protects His Royal Highness the Third Prince, who has the right to inherit the throne. So even if a civil war breaks out between the First Prince and the Second Prince, the bloodline of the empire can be preserved."
"That damn Moro Ophi...what on earth was he thinking?"
If this is true, then Roland should be hiding in the territory of Duke Oufei now. Even if Duke Oufei's overall strength is not as good as the other two dukes, he will not be defeated easily.
But what benefit can Duke Oufei get by doing this?
"Your Highness, please don't think too much about these things for now."
Since the magic car arrived at the imperial city very quickly, Xia Ye interrupted Klia's excessive thinking in time.
……
"Your Highness, we have already dismissed most of the people in the Imperial City, and His Majesty only has one imperial physician left."
"I understand. Captain Kulan, please wait outside with Captain Nolar for a while. Miss Zhuying, please protect them."
After the magic car stopped at the main gate of the imperial city, Keliya immediately rushed in with Karin and Xia Ye.
This once magnificent and majestic imperial city had long lost its original majesty, leaving only unbearable silence.
"Father..."
In fact, Clary knew very well that even if she really met the emperor, the other party might not be able to communicate with her.
——When did things become irreversible?
“…Found it, it’s right here!”
"Your Highness, please be careful! There is a strange aura around here!"
Since Klia had no strength at all now, she didn't even notice the existence of the enemy - if Karin hadn't blocked her behind her in time, the red arrow that suddenly shot out from the shadows would have pierced her body by now.
As soon as the arrow touched Karin's body, it exploded into dark red flowing dust.
"...Spiritual power? Who is it? Come out!"
"Heh, I didn't expect that at a time like this, someone would come looking for a dying emperor."
Following the brown-skinned wolf girl's roar, several people wearing the same exotic costumes and looking obviously very strange appeared from the shadows around them.
Even though Claire had never seen them before, she could probably guess who they were.
"…Star Seeking Brigade!"
"Do you know our names? Haha... the woman who dares to come to the Imperial City at this time must be the princess."
Why did these people appear in the Imperial City? !
Even though most of the imperial city's defense forces were outside, when they came in just now, the imperial city's barrier was still functioning normally...
So how did these people get in?
"Miss Xia Ye, take His Highness away from here immediately. These people seem to be able to use spiritual power... just leave it to me."
After quietly making a gesture to her colleagues, Karin immediately stepped forward to meet these strangers who were obviously harboring ill intentions.
"It seems like you are very confident in your own abilities. Coincidentally, I am too."
