She Is Not a Witch Chapter 218: The day of the storm

The coalition forces sent by the nobles from all walks of life headed south, and they camped at night with long dragons, and the burning torches made noise in the dark night.

Compared to the south, which is gradually boiling and burning, the imperial capital seems to be particularly cold these days, and there are fewer pedestrians on the streets.

The main reason is that many nobles left Titania with their private troops. In addition, the current unfavorable situation has also prevented some nobles who stayed behind from being as indulgent as before. Anxiety floats in the hidden corners of my heart, making people uneasy.

A heavy rain fell on the city.

After entering the summer, it was rare for Titania to have a downpour. The dense sound of raindrops echoed in the streets and alleys, drowning out all kinds of sounds. It was so noisy, but so quiet.

In a luxurious mansion, the exquisite iron gate that was originally closed was slowly pushed open, and several guards in black raincoats stood silently on both sides of the courtyard road, waiting for a certain important person to come out.

"Hey, wait a minute, there seems to be something left."

Three figures walked down the steps in front of the gate of the mansion. One of the petite maids seemed to think of something, then dropped her umbrella and ran back to the house with small steps.

The other two had long been used to this reckless and capricious maid, and stood patiently in the rain. Among them, the slightly plump maid held a black umbrella to shield the young master at the side. .

Standing under the umbrella, Elio looked at the guards standing in the courtyard, his eyes swept slowly, and then he took a deep breath, the black dress slightly undulating.

It seemed that the white scarf on the collar was a little restrained, and Elio loosened his hands a little, and he didn't know if it was the tension in his heart that prevented him from diverting his attention to other places.

It is raining heavily today, and he still has to go out. Naturally, he has something unusual to do. This is not a visit to friends, or simply a guest, but a major event that can change the entire empire.

Just like those two uncles did to their father.

The hard soles lifted up and down slightly, and the rainwater flowing on the ground made him feel a burst of coolness, and his thoughts calmed down a little.

For this day, the dark moon of the empire and many people who secretly support him have made various preparations, but Elio is still a little worried.

After all, no one can be completely assured of this kind of thing, and who can guarantee that it will be successful.

The private army of nobles in the city, the assassins of the dark moon, the maids who have been bought, the barracks outside the imperial capital... A lot of information floated in his mind one by one.

It was only then that Elio realized that Anna was looking at him with concern.

"Are you a little nervous?" the gentle maid Anna asked.

"Yeah."

"It's okay, there will be many people on your side." Anna's voice slowed down as much as possible, but there was still a little tremor in it, which made people feel that she was not so calm.

"I understand."

Elio stretched out his hand and held Anna's other hand, reassuring the closest person around him, and at this moment he was also thinking inwardly.

I must create a beautiful world where sister Anna can live happily.

The thought flashed away, and then familiar footsteps sounded behind him again.

"Phew, I'm back. This chessboard and chess pieces are good things. I almost lost them here." Knoss was holding a small delicate wooden box. As it shook, various chess pieces collided with each other. The beeping sound.

"Are you ready, then let's go." Saying this, the silver-purple-haired maid rolled up Elio.

"Start being an emperor today, Elio."

————

Dense rain dripped from the eaves, and the current Prince Regent was sitting in the study, looking at the documents and letters on the recent report. He wrote down some instructions, and he put some aside and did not deal with them for the time being, so he was so busy.

But for some reason, a faint boredom arose in his heart, so the regent dropped his pen and went to the window sill to rest.

There are traces of rainwater flowing everywhere in the courtyard, and some cyan and light yellow fallen leaves are also floating in it. The sky is gloomy, and the wind blows the rain into the room from time to time.

He looked quietly at the ground under the attic. At this moment, a scene in the corner of his eye seemed to change, which made him glance over inadvertently, and saw that the two guards who were standing there had leaned against each other. The wall fell slowly, without any sound.

Such a scene made the regent's pupils shrink, and he retreated instantly, and then a few sharp enchanted crossbows flew past him and nailed into the ceiling above his head.

A hurried bell rang in this palace, and immediately, Edron used the ring on his hand to warn the imperial guards stationed in the empire. Gong came to protect him.

The key now is how to survive the crucial five minutes.

This study is no longer safe, but he has other backups.

Several red knights guarding outside the study rushed in. Under Edron's command, they pushed away the bookshelf beside him, and then he opened one of the secret doors, which would lead to a safe place.

He didn't know how many guards the enemy had bribed, and how many forces participated in this operation, but judging from the fact that the other party eliminated the guards in the palace, the enemy did not fully control the power in the palace.

Where to go now.

Where are the queen and prince? No, I'm afraid it's easier to be taken over by others together, and the existence over there can also share a lot of attention for me.

Hall of Thorns? Although there is a place where the imperial guards are concentrated and there is the most powerful swordsman in the palace, the "executor in red" De Rosa, but at this moment the situation is sudden and complicated, and he cannot guarantee 100% that the commander of the imperial army will be loyal to him .

De Rosa is a confidant and confidant promoted by his brother Amanke. If the empress is the one who launched the coup this time, then going to him is like throwing yourself into a trap.

Blood Moon Hall? There is a palace for coronation and important ceremonies. Although there are fewer people, its location is more secretive and convenient for defense. There are also several special holy objects hidden in it, which can be unsealed with royal blood.

Just go there.

After making up his mind, Aimanke quickened his pace a lot. At this time, the palace on the ground began to resound with loud and fierce fighting sounds.

Contrary to Edron's imagination, this time his opponent did not buy the guards, but only changed into the armor and clothing of the guards when sneaking into the assassination.

For that highness and the people around him, these imperial guards are all traitors. They are basically recruited and trained by the new emperor, and have nothing to do with the original royal family. The coup fell apart.

When the assassins in dark red windbreakers heard the ringing of the bell, they stopped hiding altogether. They drew out their sharp long knives and began to harvest the guards in the palace.

In the complex environment of the courtyard and the palace, the guards in twos and threes are no match for these professional killers at all. The figure of His Majesty the Regent.

"There are enemies!" A guard shouted loudly, then drew out his long sword and summoned his companions.

Scenes like this happened in various places in the palace, with running and shouting everywhere, and in just a few minutes, various sounds began to resound in the originally quiet palace.

The weapons clashed with the rain, the sound of battle broke out everywhere, and the restless bells spread to all parts of the palace, finally making the whole city noisy and tense.

Hearing the ominous ringing of the bell, some passers-by on the street changed their expressions drastically, some ran home in a panic, and some shops quickly closed their doors and plugged in the bolts. While everyone was listening nervously, the sound of footsteps of armor colliding hurriedly passed through the street, gradually converging towards the palace in the center of the imperial capital.

"Rose and Red Moon bless you, I hope today can pass safely." Many old people knelt at home and prayed silently. Many people thought of the grand wedding in the past, and the streets stained red with flowers and blood after the wedding. .

"Stop! Which legion are you, retreat quickly, or we will open fire and attack."

On the street, soldiers from both sides raised their guns to confront each other. The black magic crystal guns were aimed at the enemy. The soldiers stood nervously in the rain, their fingers pressed on the trigger, ready to fire at any time.

These two troops, one is wearing a bright red short cloak, with the badge of the blood moon pinned on the chest, they are the elite troops directly belonging to the royal family. The other one is also wearing a bright red military uniform, except that the other thing on the chest is a red and green rose badge, which is also the symbol of the royal family.

After hearing such a question, the officer wearing the red emerald rose badge dismissed it and swung his sword directly.

"Fire!"

The two sides shot at the same time, the expensive enchanted bullets shot out from the magic crystal gun, and plunged into each other's array, bursting out blood flowers, and then mixed into the muddy street, spreading with the rain.

"Traitor! Shoot, shoot!" Seeing the other party firing, the officer to which Blood Moon belonged shouted angrily.

"You are the traitors, charge!" The soldier wearing the rose badge rushed out immediately. In this short distance, neither side would have a stable time to reload, and the confrontation on the street immediately turned into a melee .

The rain obscured their sight, and they fought in similar or even identical military uniforms, distinguished only by the badges on their chests and the direction they were heading.

Gunshots started to ring out in various parts of the imperial capital, and the rescue corps fought with the obstructing soldiers, struggling to break through to the center of the palace.

At the east gate of Titania, several roaring chariots advanced at high speed, directly hitting the heavy stone gate, knocking out a burst of dust and debris from the gate that had not been burned for many years.

"Open the door! You despicable traitors." Commanding the siege is a legion loyal to His Majesty the Regent, and they have excellent armaments.

"Oh, we are despicable? The regent and his brother are the despicable people, right? Does the throne really belong to their brother?" A nobleman in a thick raincoat responded in a low voice at the city gate.

"I, Earl Gekuan, the former head of the army under the crown prince, was in charge of guarding the imperial capital. If it weren't for that coup, I would be your immediate boss."

"Bullshit! Brother Ansair died a long time ago. You are just an abandoned wild dog. How can you make a fuss in front of me!" The officer below the city reprimanded loudly, and then ordered his men to step up their attack.

The heavy oricyx chariot opened the hole in front of it, and flames from blue to bright as white spewed out, and began to burn the ancient heavy door.

With the infection of the flames, the original exquisite carvings on the city gate began to melt. Originally exquisite flowers, grass leaves, goblins, roses, and other patterns gradually turned into ugly and dirty metal liquid in the blazing flames, dripping into the mud and flowing sewage.

The rising and evaporating white air enveloped the city gate, and the two sides shot at each other up and down the city wall, and the city gate gradually collapsed under the constant impact and burning.

After hearing the noisy footsteps running outside, Queen Lily was woken up urgently by the maid beside her.

"It's not good, Your Majesty, there is an assassination in the palace, or a coup." The head maid anxiously reminded the Red Queen who was taking a lunch break.

After waking up quickly, Lily stood up quickly, glanced around, then picked up the sleeping child, and prepared to take him away with her, but now the three-year-old prince is not as relaxed as when he was a child.

"Let me come, Your Majesty." The head maid was also a helper at this time. She is a Sequence 5 Transcendent, and her physical strength is much better than Lily's.

Then the two pushed open the door and moved towards the Hall of Thorns with the cooperation of a group of guards and court ladies.

Although the commander of De Rosa is usually intimidating, he may be the most reassuring existence at this moment.

Walking through the corridors of the palace, you can hear all kinds of shouts outside from time to time, and the sound of weapons clashing and musket shooting is getting closer and closer.

Seeing the rushing Queen, the guards along the way gathered quickly. They protected the Queen in the center layer by layer, and then escorted her towards the destination.

"Is that Lily? It looks very ordinary."

On the top of a bell tower in the palace, Konnos sat on a stone platform with her hands pressed under her body and her legs dangling. Besides her, there is another assassin in a red robe and windbreaker.

"Do you need to send someone to stop and kill that queen?" The Dark Moon assassin leader bent over and asked.

"Well...I feel like Elio will hate me for doing this, let him make the decision, Lily can't escape anyway."

"Yes, my lord." Then the man in red stood quietly without speaking.

The heavy rain in the cold wind still did not stop, and the slaughter in the palace became more and more intense. With the assistance of the dark moons, a group of private soldiers of the nobles broke into the palace and began to search and clean up one by one until they met. A formidable enemy to block.

In a spacious courtyard, when the private soldiers pushed open the palace gate, they were greeted by a dense array of aimed magic crystal guns. So briefly stalemate. At this time, the nobleman who led the troops finally recognized the ruthless commander who looked like a knife on the opposite side.

"So it's Sir De Rosa. Where's your master, isn't he with your dog?" The young noble walked out slowly.

He has short black hair and a deep black cloak. As the boots stepped through the mud, he opened the cloak with one hand and slowly pulled out the exquisite long sword at his waist.

The blade and hilt of the sword are decorated with blue metal carvings of star-washing flowers. The petals are delicate and beautiful, which sets off the sharpness and coldness of the blade on one side.

"'Hidden Black Sword' Yaxien Klass." Looking at the noble young man who walked out of the selfish army, DeRosa whispered his name and title.

The Klaas family is an earl family in the middle of the empire. Its fief is rich and prosperous, and it also raises many private troops. According to the original arrangement, their family also sent an elite army to the south to counter the rebellion. I don’t want this Klaas family The rookie stayed in the imperial capital and still appeared here.

Although he only has the strength of Demon Sequence 6, this young nobleman of the Clas family doesn't seem to be afraid of DeRosa, instead he draws his sword provocatively and points at each other.

"If you kneel down and beg for mercy now, old guy, maybe I can spare your life, hahaha." Holding the sword in one hand, he slowly stroked his rain-drenched front hair with the other hand, and then wiped his hair. At the back of the head, revealing those crazy eyes.

As he stood still slowly, groups of different private troops came out from the gate of this courtyard. They belonged to different families, and their representatives also stepped onto the front stage one by one.

This, together with the previous 'Black Sword' Yaxien Klass~IndoMTL.com~ These five people are all Sequence 6 Transcendents of the new generation, they can be said to be the best of the new generation of nobles, and they also represent A powerful earl family.

These earl families are all fief earls with knights and even tens of thousands of private troops. They largely represent the power of the old nobles of the empire, and the appearance of these people finally made De Rosa deeply frown.

With his Demon Sequence 7's almost perfect strength, it is not difficult to kill these newcomers, but the problem is the forces behind these people. When they dare to let their carefully cultivated successors appear here, it means that the other party has already taken this The coup d'état was a sure thing.

The strong wind blew the rain, causing it to fall obliquely, and floated into the quiet palaces of Titania. The once peaceful palaces were now full of slaughter, the sound of battle spread in the rain, and the empire ushered in a new era. shuffling and standing in line.
