Chapter 116 The Current Situation of the Empire
As the northern defense line was breached, panic spread throughout the Holy Empire.
A large number of nobles fled to the south.
The Holy Empire is composed of nine duchies plus Da Yan.
The most powerful of the principalities is the now-conquered Violet Principality.
The second is the Duchy of Richard in the northeast.
The Duchy of Richard was famous for its infantry.
The combat effectiveness of the snow infantry of the Principality of Richard far exceeds the average level of the Imperial Army.
Ranked third is the Principality of Kara in the south.
A group of natural archers who can even compete with elves in archery.
The other principalities also have their own advantages.
However, as the northern border was breached, the nine principalities each had their own ulterior motives.
Except for the Violet Principality which had just been liberated.
The other eight principalities did nothing after receiving the news.
Even when Lyon took the lead in launching the war to protect the country, only the Principality of Richard and the Principality of Sido, which was at the bottom of the ranking, responded.
Until Caddis and Chester broke out.
The twin pillars of the empire are reborn!
People were amazed at Chester's appearance, but some people suspected that Chester was fake.
It wasn't until Chester used magic that the statue built in memory of Chester in the Imperial College began to flicker.
Everyone believed that Chester was really back!
If Cadis is the most powerful spear of the Holy Empire, then Chester is the most powerful shield of the Holy Empire.
The appearance of Cadis gave everyone in the Holy Empire fighting spirit, while the appearance of Chester made everyone feel at ease.
Soon, the nine duchies responded to the War to Protect the Nation.
But what made Lyon angry was that only the Duchy of Richard and the Duchy of Sido sent troops.
The Principality of Richard sent out 30 snow infantrymen, and the Principality of Sido only had 10 troops even if all its troops were deployed...
40 troops were just a drop in the ocean for the millions of orc troops, but they still marched forward without hesitation.
The capital of the Holy Empire, the imperial capital.
The prosperous city that once accommodated millions of people is now in chaos.
A large number of people fled south with their families.
Some students of the Imperial Academy took to the streets, asking the Empire to fight to the last moment.
Edward III scoffed at this.
He himself is planning to tour the south, and fight to the last moment?
impossible! Absolutely impossible!
I want to live a few more years!
In the hall, Edward III looked at the cardinal and said.
"Teacher, Cadis and the others are just maliciously slandering you. Your contribution to the empire is obvious to all. I hope that you can speak well of the Goddess of Light and bless you..."
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty! I will shed my last drop of blood for the empire!"
The cardinal knelt on the ground and spoke.
And at this moment, deafening shouts of killing were heard.
A guard ran in.
"Your Majesty! Old Duke Brian is leading his troops to attack us!"
The next second, an old man with gray hair, wrinkles on his face, wearing marshal armor and holding a sword, walked in.
"Brian! What are you doing? Someone come! Someone come!"
Edward III pointed at Brian and cursed.
"Edward! Don't think no one knows about the shit you did!
I tell you, you can't go anywhere today, you must stay in the imperial capital, if you want to leave, then let your lackeys take your body away!"
Brian said in a strong voice.
"Impossible! I still have troops loyal to me! Someone come!"
Edward III tried to make a last-ditch effort.
"The 10 imperial troops and 10 imperial guards in the capital are already under my control. As the emperor, as the descendant of Draene, and the son of Alexander, how can you think of escaping?"
Brian said, pointing at Edward III.
Then he walked towards the cardinal with sword in hand.
In front of Edward III's shocked eyes, he chopped off his head with a sword.
"Former Grand Marshal of the Empire, Duke of the Blazing Sun Brian requests that Your Majesty blockade the Imperial Capital! Fight to the death!"
Brian left before Edward III could say anything.
Except for big occasions, Brian almost never had to give Edward III any respect.
Not just because he's a duke, but because of his past.
Caddis and his companions followed Alexander in his conquests, but Brian is several dozen years older than Caddis.
Alexander the Great's father was Emperor Padme Apostle.
Emperor Padion's teacher was Brian.
Brian served as the Imperial Marshal for more than 100 years and saw off three emperors, including Padion's father.
Brian said that if Edward III disagreed, he would not mind having another generation.
With Brian's return, 20 troops immediately prepared to defend the imperial capital.
The imperial capital will close the city gates in three days.
The three days were left to allow civilians to evacuate.
But Brian asked the adult male nobles to stay and jointly defend the imperial capital.
As for the noble women, Brian did not ask for too much.
However, there were still some enlightened nobles who took the initiative to stay, and there were even many noble ladies wearing knight armor.
Brian also praised them for this.
But there are still many nobles who try their best to escape from the imperial capital.
Brian has increased the intensity of screening at the city gates, but of course civilians don't have to worry.
No civilians were left to assist in the defense because they had already fulfilled their tax obligations and the nobles enjoyed privileges.
Now it is time for the nobles to do their part.
However, some civilians heard that Brian was responsible for defending the imperial capital and immediately took the initiative to stay.
They believed in the Duke of the Blazing Sun, and believed that the Imperial City would fall...
The entire imperial capital was now in a state of chaos, and at this moment, no one had noticed that some people had infiltrated the palace...
At night, in Elena's bedroom.
A maid, led by the head maid, came to the outside of Elena's bedroom.
"Eve, where did this maid come from? Why haven't I seen her before?"
The female guard standing guard outside Elena's bedroom spoke.
"This is the new maid. Lady Elena suddenly wants to take a bath. I'm going to take her to give Lady Elena a bath."
"go in."
The female guard checked him and then let him go.
The maid followed Eve all the way to Elena's bed.
"Lady Elena!"
"Ok?"
Elena, who had already gone to bed, woke up in a daze.
"Lady Elena, didn't you say you wanted to take a bath?"
"Ok?"
Elena was a little surprised, then put on her clothes.
"come in!"
The two went in immediately.
As soon as she entered, the maid knelt down immediately.
"Madam! I am here on the orders of the leader to take you to Dayan!"
"leader?"
Elena was a little confused.
"The great leader is your son, the Duke of Lyon!"
Looking at the maid with a fanatical look on her face.
Elena was a little scared, but then she was surprised because she heard her son's name!
(Troublemaker! You stole my fans and still support me (?? _ ??)??

If I become popular, I will...)
