Just as the pilot of the "Iron General" activated the backup energy and tried to stand up again, an incendiary bomb drew a beautiful parabola, fell from the sky, and suddenly hit the top of the head of the tree armor who was sitting on the ground.

Thousands of degrees of thermite flowed in a winding manner, quickly igniting the entire tree armor, and then igniting the energy warehouse, followed by a dazzling explosion.

The world was quiet. This tree armor seemed to be the last fighting force of a certain army.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, a tree armor in the shape of a velociraptor knocked open the burning wreckage of the "Iron General" and stood there.

This tree armor has terrifyingly sharp spines on its back, and two cold and bloodthirsty red eyes on the front of the armor.

In the middle of the eyes, there was a dark military emblem with a bloody dagger.

At this time, a communication voice came from inside the velociraptor-shaped tree armor:

"Shadow Army No. 1593 reports that they have broken through the enemy blockade."

"Well done! Next goal, go straight to the Bastille and protect the emperor! Kill anyone along the way!"

"What? Are you saying that our blockade of the Shadow Army has been breached?"

"Two fully equipped tree armor corps, with iron birds in the air providing bombing support, were actually defeated by a team composed entirely of retired soldiers?"

"How can this be!!!"

Second Prince Dennis could not hide his panic at all. His voice became louder and louder, so that everyone in the command vehicle could hear it clearly.

At this time, the intelligence officer in charge of the report was very calm. He nodded and said:

"Yes, according to our estimation, the enemy that is blocked is only half a regiment. Their firepower is extremely fierce, and they are also very skilled in close combat. So..."

At this time, the second prince Denis interrupted the intelligence officer's report:

"You mean to say that we only blocked half of their Shadow Army's troops before, and they broke through the blockade of our two legions with only half of their troops?"

His voice rose a pitch and became a little harsh. "What about the remaining half?"

Dennis's pointed question prompted the intelligence officer to quickly pull up a military map on the water curtain, draw a circle on it with an electronic command stick, and explain:

"After much investigation, we found out that they captured a Sky Whale base here and used the Sky Whale transport airship there. Based on their flight path, we speculated that their target was here."

As he spoke, the intelligence officer drew a bright red circle at another location.

Dennis looked at the countless attack, defense, and air assault symbols displayed around the circle, took a breath, and said in a lost voice:

"The Bastille?!"

The intelligence officer nodded and responded: "Yes, in addition to the troops we sent there before, there are two other unidentified Sky Whale airship transport teams that have arrived near the prison. I believe one of them is the other half of the Shadow Army."

"Of course, what I just said is not the most important thing. The most important thing is..."

At this point, the intelligence officer's words were somewhat hesitant.

Dennis raised his head and said with hidden anger: "What's the most important thing? Tell me now!"

"At this time, His Royal Highness the Third Prince has lost contact for a long time. Since his regicide, we have not received any news about the Bastille."

The intelligence officer looked at Dennis seriously and said, "According to your plan, if we can't confirm that the man has been killed, even if we try our best to control the capital city, we can't control the entire country. What's more, there are still many troops on the Qingshan Island battlefield that we can't control."

After listening to the intelligence officer's speculation, the second prince Dennis sat down dejectedly in his command chair, and secretly began to curse his younger brother Alex in his heart, but he was completely unaware that his brother had already died at this time.

"Report!" An intelligence officer ran into the command vehicle with sweat all over his forehead. Without waiting for the Second Prince to respond, he took out a folder and began to report:

"Your Highness, we have just received a plaintext message on the entire network."

"Plain text?" Dennis raised his head in confusion and looked at the document handed to him.

"Yes, and it was a clear message to the whole nation."

The official tried to calm his nervousness and continued to report:

"The sender is from the Blood Shadow Slaughter Army, notifying the entire country that we are rebels, demanding that the entire country be under martial law, and that all armies submit their command to the commander of the Blood Shadow Slaughter Army, five-star general Mai Tornado."

Upon hearing this, the Second Prince Dennis suddenly grabbed the document in front of him, quickly glanced through it, and his face turned livid.

"How dare he? How dare he sign his name as 'Riyuan Imperial Family, Riyuan Military Command, Riyuan Executive Yuan'? Haha, Mai Tornado, you are just a dog guarding our Mai family. How dare you send a national telegram in such a name? You are really tired of living!"

He suddenly turned around to look at his staff and shouted, "Where are our people? Where are our people in the Executive Yuan? Where are our people in the headquarters? Where is General Canpedela? Where is General Shang Youpin? Didn't they all say they would support me before? Why are they silent now?"

The staff member replied tremblingly: "Your Highness, the palace has not been completely captured yet, and most of the officials in the Executive Yuan are watching the boxing match in the Bastille. Among the important officials, only the Minister of Information has signed the letter of allegiance. As for General Campedela and General Shang Youpin, the two... have escaped..."

"Ah! Bang!"

All the objects on the podium were swept to the ground by the angry second prince.

"You bunch of idiots! Get in touch with the media and the internet that we can control, now! Immediately announce that the Blood Shadow Army is a rebel group and that the coup was initiated by them! Create public opinion right now, quickly!"

The roar of the Second Prince Dennis echoed in the command vehicle, and several of his staff members, like stray dogs, ran out of the command vehicle to create confusing public opinion.

At the same time, outside the Bastille, Captain Chafing was carefully commanding his soldiers to advance towards the Bastille.

As an officer who had served as commander of a third-rate garrison unit for nearly ten years, Xia Fancai had complained countless times that he had not been given the opportunity to climb up the career ladder.

But this time, a huge pie fell on his head - a coup d'état took place in the royal family.

This opportunity is one step to heaven and one step to hell; either you will be remembered forever or your entire clan will be exterminated.

Xia Fancai has always felt that he is a typical sophisticated egoist who will seize any opportunity that benefits him.

But this time, the opportunity came at a time that made him too conflicted.

Therefore, even though the capital city of Xianghe Taida is now a scorched earth and the fighting in the Bastille is in full swing; even though he has solemnly signed a letter of allegiance to the second prince Denis and the Denis family behind him, Xia Fancai still remains silent.

Because deep down in his heart, he wanted to wait and see which way the wind was blowing.

Just now, he received a very strongly worded order from the Second Prince Denis, asking him to immediately march towards the Bastille to encircle it, otherwise the Iron Bird Force would be sent to bomb his base.

Captain Xia Fancai then reluctantly assembled the troops and set out on the march.

His station was less than fifty kilometers away from the Bastille, and a fully mechanized march would take less than an hour.

But under Xia Fancai's command, his troops marched at the slowest speed in history, traveling less than five kilometers in an hour.

This is roughly the speed at which a person can walk with a cane.

But no matter what, Xia Fancai still moved and carried out the order.

But in essence, he was still watching, waiting for an opportunity that would allow him to decide which side to join.

The second prince Dennis now seems to be a very good "dealer" and offers very high "odds".

But you can't put all your eggs in one basket, right?

The word "all-in" is just a theoretical word in front of a cautious opportunist like Xia Fancai.

At this time, Xia Fancai heard a report from the signalman in his earphone: "Captain, a troop is not far ahead of us and will be within range in about ten minutes. Please give instructions."
