Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.

As soon as Fei Qi gave the order, the soldiers shouted and rushed toward the city gate. The guards were shocked and tried to resist, but they bumped into each other in their panic. Seeing that the rebels were too strong, they abandoned the idea of ​​resistance and hurriedly returned to the city to close the gates. Meanwhile, they sent an urgent message to the capital to request reinforcements.

This scene was spotted by Fei Qi from afar. He had been suspicious of the laziness of the gatekeepers, thinking there might be a trap. Now it seemed that the royal city was truly unaware of his plot and completely unprepared, which reassured him. Therefore, he held nothing back and ordered the remaining troops to join the attack.

The city gate guards were few in number, and soon all three city gates were breached by the rebels. Fei Qi was overjoyed at the sight and immediately took the lead and rushed into the city, saying as he ran, "Quickly follow me into the city and storm the palace!"

As Fei Qi spurred his horse into the city, he saw streets filled with panicked commoners. Occasionally, he would encounter nobles who also looked frightened, seemingly accustomed to peaceful days and terrified by the sudden arrival of troops. Fei Qi took in all these sights, which reinforced his belief that the duchy had enjoyed peace for far too long. Faced with what might be an enemy army, the common people and nobles had no choice but to flee.

Halfway there, Fei Qi looked back and saw that half of the troops had already entered the city. Just as he turned around, many garrison soldiers suddenly appeared on both sides of the street, attacking him with tripwires. Caught off guard, Fei Qi and his horse were tripped and fell. When he tried to get up, a group of soldiers rushed over and pinned him to the ground, while swiftly removing the elemental bracelet from his wristband.

Fei Qi knew he had fallen into a trap. He looked back unwillingly and saw that half of the troops entering the city were being surrounded and killed by an army that appeared from nowhere. At the same time, he vaguely heard deafening shouts of killing coming from somewhere. Based on the direction of the sound, he guessed that the two armies at the northeast gate had also been surrounded and killed. But it was too late now, and he could only accept his fate.

At this moment, a pair of feet wearing military boots appeared in front of him. He looked up with difficulty and saw an unfamiliar face. He did not recognize the person. After squatting down, the person looked Fei Qi up and down, then stood up and waved his hand. The soldiers next to him stepped forward, tied him up, and forced him to follow the soldier in front.

Contrary to expectations, he wasn't taken to a prison cell. Instead, Fei Qi was escorted all the way to the palace. Outside the palace hall, he met the other five army commanders, all bound in the same way. Their escorts were all wearing the same style of armor as the officer he had met earlier. Upon seeing each other, the six men slumped their heads helplessly, allowing the soldiers to escort them into the hall.

Upon entering the palace hall, they saw Pact seated on the throne, with six white-robed figures below him—the royal guardians, the Ming officials. Fitz knew of their existence and had anticipated they would be troublesome, but he remained confident that the six guardians alone could wear down an army of 100,000, even if it meant attrition. He hadn't expected to be captured before even engaging the guardians in battle.

At this moment, Pact was looking angrily at the six garrison commanders who were being escorted in. Although he wanted to question them now, he was not in a position to ask questions in the name of the royal family. Instead, he left the questioning to Colin, who was in charge of the military.

Seeing that the six men had been forced to kneel on the ground, Colin stepped forward and demanded sharply, "You six are the commanders of the garrison on the northern border of the Duchy. You should be firmly guarding the border and protecting the peace of the Duchy. Why do you harbor rebellious intentions and dare to openly unite to rebel and attack the royal city! Speak! Who is the mastermind behind this!"

Everyone remained silent, but some couldn't resist the urge to save their lives. Duncan was the first to confess, kneeling and pleading, "Your Majesty! The rebellion was all caused by Fei Qi. That day, we were having a normal gathering, complaining about military affairs, when Fei Qi actually persuaded us to rebel. He said that the nobles in the capital had enjoyed too much peace and that the duchy was in imminent danger. Furthermore, he detained our families, leaving us no choice but to join the rebellion! I beg Your Majesty to investigate!"

Hearing Duncan's pleas for mercy, Fei Qi remained unmoved. The other four inwardly despised him, but then the commander of the 17th Army, supporting himself on his knees, moved forward a few steps and echoed, "That's right, Your Majesty! I was only stationed in a small town not far from the northern border. To prevent news of the rebellion from leaking out, Fei Qi assembled the Six Armies ahead of time and detained my family, forcing me to rebel. I truly had no choice but to do this!"

The commander of the 17th Army felt aggrieved. Why did he have to be dragged into this? He was so stupid to agree to Fergie's plan to rebel in the first place. But for now, he could only follow Duncan and push all the blame onto Fergie, hoping to escape the death penalty.

After hearing this, Colin turned to look at Fezi and continued to ask, "Fezi! As the garrison commander of the important city of Cali, the Second Army has always been a model among the northern armies and is deeply trusted by His Majesty and the military. Why would you commit such a treasonous act! Speak! Was it your own doing, or were you colluding with another country?"

Now that the questions had been brought to him, Fei Qi knew he couldn't escape death, so he might as well lay everything out in the open. Just as he had considered the worst-case scenario from the beginning, he straightened his kneeling body and said in a loud voice, "Your Majesty! I have something to say to Your Majesty!"

"Shut up! How dare you face His Majesty!" Colin roared. Ever since he learned that Fei Qi was plotting a rebellion, he had had a bad feeling. Although he didn't know why, his intuition told him that Fei Qi and His Majesty should not be allowed to communicate.

“Let him speak.” Pact interrupted Colin’s reprimand with a grim face, gesturing for Fitch to continue.

"First of all, I, Fei Qi, admire Your Majesty, but I have already been defeated. Before I die, I have a question and some words I would like to say to Your Majesty. First of all, I have a question. I thought my military plan was foolproof. The capital city did not have time to organize an army. How did Your Majesty know about our rebellion? Please enlighten me, Your Majesty."

Upon hearing this, Pact remained silent, instead looking at Karl, the stealth class within the Ming court, and signaling him to answer on his behalf. Karl understood, took a step forward, and said, "I will answer your question. This information should not be given to you, but His Majesty, considering your past loyalty, has granted your dying wish."

He continued, “We, the officials of the Ming Dynasty, bear the heavy responsibility of protecting the royal family, which is equivalent to protecting the entire duchy. Any potential factors that are detrimental to the duchy must be known in advance and eliminated. The Omniscient Eye Array was created for this purpose. It can help us understand the clues to anything we want to know in the coming year. Not long before Qing Gui, it was the day we activated the Omniscient Eye. Through it, we discovered the rebellion of the six northern armies and the specific date. His Majesty has made preparations for this long ago, just waiting for you to come to us. With conclusive evidence, we will wipe you out in one fell swoop.”

Karl's words not only answered Fitz's doubts but also sent chills down the spines of the other five commanders and Colin. The five commanders marveled at the Guardian's methods, realizing that no matter how they plotted, they would be exposed, and their rebellion would be futile. Colin, on the other hand, was terrified that Pact already knew about their secret dealings, perhaps even when they first started, but hadn't acted yet, possibly for the sake of the duchy's stability and to wait for them to slip up before eliminating them all.

Thinking of this, an indescribable fear instantly spread through his body, making him want to confess everything now. But in the end, reason prevailed. If he confessed now, Pact might take his head in a fit of rage.

"Thank you, Your Excellency. Now, these are my last words before I die," Fei Qi said resolutely, showing no fear of death.
