Imperial warlords: Cannons are the only truth

The capital city—the official residence of Ge Daqiang, a council member.

Bang! Bang! Bang...........

The entire council residence was filled with the sounds of gunfire.

"quick!"

"Protect the adults and take them to the underground safe room!"

A large group of guards tightly surrounded Council Minister Ge Daqiang.

The entire council residence is in complete chaos.

The sounds of gunfire all around were even more exciting than setting off firecrackers during Chinese New Year!

A large number of armed personnel dressed in Imperial Security Service uniforms launched a fierce attack on the Minister of State's residence.

These armed men were clearly a group of suicide bombers.

One by one, they fired wildly, fearless and reckless.

Moreover, they were all strapped with bombs.

Whenever he gets a chance to rush into the crowd of guards, he will not hesitate to detonate the bombs on his body.

That's a completely reckless fighting style...

But these reckless militants are not the most deadly.

What shocked the guards of the mansion the most was a group of half-human, half-beast creatures.

Clearly, these half-human, half-beast monsters are the Black Army's biggest weapon in this operation.

When these beastmen enter their strongest battle state, they transform into half-beast forms.

Having already engaged in close combat, these beast-like warriors, now in battle stance, immediately maximized their advantages...

They have an absolute advantage in strength, speed, and reaction time.

Moreover, these beast-like warriors almost always killed the human guards with a single blow.

"Damn it! What kind of monsters are these?!"

"Could it be a new species of the Badaf insectoid race?"

"wrong!"

"This shouldn't be the Badaf insectoids!"

Pfft!

A figure suddenly appeared, and the guard who had just spoken had his heart pierced by a sharp claw!

"Of course not!" A leopard-man tossed the already lifeless guard aside like a chicken.

"We are the Black-Clad Army's greatest weapon today!"

"We've come specifically to send Lord Ge to hell!"

With a wild beast's howl, a bird-man with giant wings on his back glided through the air and burst into the crowd.

Before the guards could even react, they were already spun in two by the enormous, sharp wings.................

Immediately after landing, the birdman opened its mouth wide and unleashed another ultrasonic attack.

The guards present immediately covered their ears in pain.

Those who were close enough were even directly shaken by the powerful ultrasonic waves, causing them to bleed from all seven orifices...

"How fragile!"

"Could these be the elite guards of the Imperial Council Ministers?"

"This is so disappointing—there's not a single one who can fight..."

-------------------------------------

"grown ups!"

"We have already informed the military about the attack on the official residence."

"However, the special forces sent by the military to rescue them were ambushed en route!"

"The entire capital city is now in complete chaos."

"Officials' residences, government offices, the imperial palace, and even military camps in the capital are under attack by armed men!"

"The Imperial Security Agency and the Interstellar Intelligence Agency were also subjected to fierce attacks."

"It is said that—a high-ranking official of the imperial court has already been killed in this attack!"

"What's the situation at the palace right now?"

"Is His Majesty alright?"

Ge Daqiang, who had taken refuge in the underground security shelter of the official residence, immediately inquired.

"The palace is guarded by the Royal Guard, so it should be safe."

"My lord, communication with the palace has been established!" the messenger immediately reported to Ge Daqiang.

"Your Majesty! Are you okay?"

Seeing Shen Moshen appear on the communication screen, Ge Daqiang finally felt a temporary weight lifted from his shoulders.

"I am fine here."

Shen Moshen looked at Ge Daqiang, who had a concerned expression on his face, and gave him a reassuring look.

"I heard that your residence is under heavy attack by a large number of armed men."

"I have already dispatched the Royal Guard to provide reinforcements."

"You'd better hide well before reinforcements arrive!"

"Never put yourself in danger!"

"This is my decree to you!"

"Understand!"

"Your Majesty's decree is hereby obeyed!"

Everything is silent.

From Shen Moshen's tone, Ge Daqiang could clearly feel the indescribable concern.

It was clear that the crisis the capital city faced tonight had caused Shen Moshen, the iron-blooded emperor who had seen countless storms, to feel boundless anger and worry for the first time.

Because, judging from the continuous stream of terrible news, no fewer than ten high-ranking officials of the imperial court have lost their lives in tonight's attack...

It should be noted that these important officials are all loyal and capable ministers who are absolutely devoted to the Great Qian Dynasty and to Shen Moshen.

Losing even one person would be a tremendous loss to the entire Great Qian Dynasty!

At this moment, Shen Moshen's heart was bleeding!

The loss of more than ten high-ranking officials was an unprecedented and egregious event in the entire history of the Great Qian Dynasty!

Moreover, all signs indicate that tonight's massive attack is only just beginning...

Shen Moshen simply couldn't imagine how many more high-ranking officials of the imperial court would perish in this massive attack!

When Shen Moshen finally got through to Ge Daqiang, he clearly felt a sense of relief.

Fortunately amidst the misfortune—Ge Daqiang, the most important minister who had followed Shen Moshen in building his empire from the very beginning, was unharmed....................

Moreover, upon learning of the attack on Ge Daqiang's official residence, Shen Moshen immediately dispatched the Royal Guard to rescue him.

And a death order was given—no matter what, Ge Daqiang must be brought safely back to the palace!

Shen Moshen knew that—right now, the Imperial Palace was the safest place in the entire capital city...................

His biggest regret now is that he didn't summon those important court officials to the palace in advance at such a critical juncture as tonight.

That way, at the very least, the personal safety of these important court officials can be guaranteed...................

-------------------------------------

"His Majesty!"

"Among the armed men besieging the mansion now are a group of half-human, half-beast monsters."

"These monsters must be evil creations secretly developed by the Black-Clad Army!"

"We are already aware of this situation."

"All signs indicate that these half-beast, half-human monsters are the main force behind the chaos caused by the Black-Clad Army tonight!"

"We were deliberately misled by the black-clad army from the very beginning..."

Shen Moshen frowned and said in a deep voice, "Now it seems that the Black-Clad Army deliberately leaked the assassination attempt on the Crown Prince to the Interstellar Intelligence Agency."

"Furthermore, they deliberately made us focus all our attention on the 3000 'Destroyer 3' combat robots and the accomplice inside the Imperial Hotel."

"In fact, all our actions were within the Black-Clad Army's expectations!"

"All our deployments and arrangements are being led by the nose by the black-clad army..."

Shen Moshen's expression grew increasingly solemn: "Whether or not we can successfully assassinate the Crown Prince of Daqian tonight is not that important to the Black-Clad Army."

"The assassination of the Crown Prince of Daqian was just a pretext in their entire operation tonight."

"Without this pretext, we wouldn't be led by the nose by the black-clad army..."

"Assassinating the Crown Prince of the Great Qian Dynasty was just a side effect."

"For the Black Army—a successful assassination is naturally the best outcome."

"They didn't suffer any losses even if the assassination attempt failed."

"Because the Black Army's main objective tonight is to turn the capital city upside down!"

"The assassination of the Crown Prince of Daqian is a pretense; their real purpose tonight is to slaughter high-ranking officials!"

"Those damned bastards!"

Shen Moshen's eyes were filled with boundless killing intent: "I will definitely eradicate the Black-Clad Army and exterminate them completely!"

"Especially that damned mountain dog!"

"Even being torn to pieces a thousand times would not be enough to atone for the heinous crimes he committed!"

-------------------------------------

the other side.

The Imperial Capital – Interstellar Intelligence Agency.

"Chief, these guys are pushing themselves too hard!"

"All the militants involved in the attack had suicide bombs implanted in their bodies."

"This includes even those half-beast, half-human monsters..."

"It's not easy to capture them alive!"

"Fortunately, we came up with a plan and managed to capture a half-beast, half-human prisoner alive."

"We have now cut off and removed the suicide bomb from his body."

"A blood sample has also been drawn and is being expedited for testing and analysis."

"The prisoners who have been captured have been injected with strong inhibitors."

"That guy's power is currently restricted."

"After his power was restricted, that guy immediately reverted from his half-beast, half-human state back to human form."

"It seems that being half-orc and half-human is their battle form!"

"What about people?"

"He has been locked in the interrogation room next door and is currently being interrogated."

"But the other party is unwilling to say anything..."

"I'll handle the interrogation myself!" Chen Guyan said, nodding to his deputy beside him. "You'll be in charge here for now."

-------------------------------------

"And it's a woman?"

Upon entering the interrogation room next door, Chen Guyan saw a young woman wearing electronic ankle bracelets and handcuffs.

The woman looked to be in her early twenties, and her looks and figure were absolutely stunning.................

"Do you know where this place is?"

"Once you're here, no matter who you are, we have hundreds of ways to get you to talk!"

"If you take the initiative to speak up, you can avoid getting hurt."

"Chen Guyan, head of the Interstellar Intelligence Agency!"

Before Chen Guyan could even reveal his identity, the woman who had been arrested had already given him his name.

"Oh?"

"It seems that my name, Chen Guyan, is quite well-known."

"What? As the director of the Interstellar Intelligence Agency, I must be one of the top targets in your Black-Clad Army, right?"

"Director Chen is much more humble than I expected..."

The woman smiled and said, "To be precise, it's not one of the first few."

"But—number one!"

"In our Black-Clad Army's assassination sequence."

"Your name, Director Chen, is number one, even surpassing Emperor Shen Moshen of the Empire!"

"After all, your Interstellar Intelligence Agency is our Black Army's biggest adversary."

"Oh? I didn't expect I had such high 'prestige' in your Black-Clad Army!"

"The mountain dog really takes good care of me."

"We're all in the same boat."

The woman looked at Chen Guyan with amusement: "Doesn't Director Chen also take good care of our boss?"

“Our boss’s most trusted confidants are all spies of your Interstellar Intelligence Agency.”

"Director Chen is really good to us Black-Clad Army members!"

"It seems we made the right decision to arrest them this time."

Chen Guyan wasn't in a hurry. He sat down opposite the woman and said slowly, "From what you've said, you really know a lot of inside information."

"It wasn't for nothing that I came here to interrogate you personally."

"Shouldn't I feel extremely honored to have Director Chen personally come to interrogate me?"

"After all, not everyone can enjoy this kind of treatment."

"Then how should you thank me?"

"Are you going to just tell us everything you know, or will you only talk if we use our methods?"

"You don't look very old."

"Why follow those extremists in black and go down the wrong path?"

“If you were forced to join the Black Army, I might even apply for a pardon for you.”

"But the premise is—you have to cooperate with us honestly."

"You should know what I, Chen Guyan, am saying."

"I will absolutely not break my promise."

"As long as you cooperate, I will definitely keep my word."

"Amnesty?"

The woman shook her head slightly: "We've caused such a commotion in the capital today, are you really willing to let me go?"

"My hands are stained with a lot of blood."

"You should have known this when you arrested me."

"By the way, didn't your men tell you?"

"I personally killed the Minister of Education of the Great Qian Dynasty..."

"Chief, we lost more than twenty brothers when we arrested her."

"The Minister of Education and his entire family were all murdered by this woman..."

"Director Chen, I have already told you about what I just did."

The woman looked at Chen Guyan, whose face was gloomy, with amusement: "I just don't know..."

"Given my situation—Could Director Chen still grant me a pardon...?"
