Chapter 428: End of Disagreement I
The Empire's border territory, the former general combat command base.
After the end of the imperial civil war and the third prince officially becoming the heir to the throne, this private base that originally belonged to Aarons was no longer the headquarters of the major legions.
Although the legion commanders who had received a lot of care did not quite agree with this result, the changes in public opinion during this period had spread to ordinary soldiers - most of them said that they would only swear allegiance to Emperor Armand VIII and would never obey the orders of others.
So now there are no regular imperial troops in this base, and the daily operations are almost entirely handled by the White Bird crew and the volunteers who originally stayed behind.
However, as public opinion quickly fermented, this base is now facing thorny problems.
"…What do you mean? Refusing to sell us supplies? How dare those guys do such a thing!?"
"Your Highness, you should also know that the news outside has not been very good recently... Those people have even sent a formal petition to His Majesty, who has not yet ascended the throne, asking us to immediately give up the treatment of the Marquis."
"Hehehe... Now I just want to ask these people if they can just die sooner."
Keliya, who was obviously exhausted by recent events, even laughed out of anger after hearing Jiangyue's report.
In recent days, there have been protest groups roaming around the base - these people demanded that Aarons Moti immediately appear in public and formally announce to the empire that he would give up all military power and power. If he refused, it would prove that he was suspected of usurping the throne.
As the new emperor was about to ascend the throne, Cliya did not want to create more trouble for Roland, so she did not respond to these people.
But her hesitation made the situation get further out of control... The merchants who originally provided daily necessities to the base officially stopped supplying today due to pressure from the public.
…Unless Aarons Moti, the “Empire Threat,” is officially declared dead, things are only going to get worse.
"Teacher Jiangyue, I regret it now... I shouldn't have let Luo Lan inherit the throne."
——This is just meaningless angry talk.
Even if Roland was not allowed to become emperor, Aarons would not wake up.
And no matter who else becomes the leader of the empire, people will regard Aarons with great power as a threat to peace.
"If you really change your mind, please tell us first."
"Well, I decided to make a public announcement tomorrow morning... I have to vent my anger for my husband first."
It’s not that Klia doesn’t want to protect Aarons’ dignity, but because every aspect of the empire is in chaos now, even she doesn’t know what to do first.
Because Aarons had publicly stated that he would support Roland to become emperor, she did many related things according to Aarons' wishes...but she never expected that things would develop to such a disgusting situation.
"I'll write the manuscript myself. Sister Xia Ye and the others have been helping me with the coronation ceremony recently, so I won't bother them."
"What about Qianyun? Hasn't she been with you recently?"
"Senior sister... apart from helping various departments recently, I have been practicing alone the rest of the time."
Mo Qianyun, who was of no help at all in the decisive battle and didn't know what to do after returning, may have endured greater pain and sorrow than others.
But no one had the energy to help her out of her predicament...because everyone was feeling the same way now.
If Aarons continues to sleep like this, some problems may develop to an irreversible point.
"Then I will go back first. I still need to adjust the treatment plan for the Marquis...Your Highness, you should also rest early."
"Well... Teacher Jiangyue, please also--"
In this quiet night, the two people, exhausted both physically and mentally, should have said goodbye and returned to their work as usual.
But the sudden abnormality broke the peace instantly——
"Report, report! Moti City has just been attacked by an unknown enemy! Most of the city area has been severely damaged! Your Majesty... The current situation is unknown!"
When a panicked guard suddenly rushed into the room and brought the two women bad news like a bolt from the blue, a shocking loud explosion also spread not too far from them.
——This base was also attacked at the same time!
……
"…The hangar suddenly exploded just now! There is still a fire inside, and we cannot be sure whether the parked equipment is damaged!"
"Some patrolling guards were knocked down at some point! Although their lives are not in danger, they are seriously injured!"
"I'm sorry...we haven't found the enemy yet!"
No one knew what had happened - when Keliya and Jiangyue rushed out of the building, the base was already in chaos.
The base was filled with blinding flames and thick, dirty smoke. The personnel awakened by the explosion were running around in a panic, trying desperately to put out the flames or rescue the wounded.
"Your Highness! Are you okay?"
"If something happens to me, then something happens to everyone."
While Keliya and Jiangyue were listening to the guards' report, Karin, Xiaye, Zhuying and the other two hurried over from the other side.
After a while, Mo Qianyun, who was meditating in his room, joined them with Yalu, who was still asleep.
Although there was still chaos around, the fire in the base had been basically brought under control.
"So what's going on? There's an early warning barrier set up outside the base. Even if someone wanted to sneak in and launch a surprise attack, they should have been discovered in advance!"
"Alu, can you feel anything?"
"No, it's very strange."
Although something must have happened here, even the central body of the Mist Phantom Demon Star, which possesses super-normal mental power, cannot detect any abnormality, which makes people feel a little uneasy.
What kind of person could bypass a high-level barrier and cause such chaos without anyone noticing?
"By the way! What's going on in Moti City?! It seems they were attacked there as well...it's very likely aimed at Luo Lan!"
"Your Highness, I think we should focus on the problem at hand first... We are all here now, so what about the Marquis's safety?"
"There is a Star Spirit barrier set up by His Highness himself, and I also sent a team of guards over there before I came, so it shouldn't be a problem."
Realizing that the defense seemed a little empty, Jiangyue began to worry whether Aarons, who was still sleeping, would be in danger.
However, Xia Ye calmly explained his arrangements to her... and even adopted a slightly contemptuous attitude.
"If you were that worried, you should have stayed in that room at all times."
"Ms. Xia Ye, I'm really not in the mood to argue with you right now."
Seeing that the conflict between the two was about to explode, Keliya quickly raised her hand to stop them. The attacker's whereabouts were unknown, and his identity and purpose were unclear. If the attacker was going to kill someone, he would probably take advantage of them when they were not paying attention.
So now, we must find the attacker who caused the chaos immediately.
"We'll talk about it later if there's any problem. Let's find that guy first, and then--"
“——No need!”
Before Claire finished giving orders to her companions, a familiar voice came clearly from above.
Then, a dark figure wrapped in a loose robe jumped down from the top of the building which was empty just now, and landed lightly and steadily on the opposite side of them at a distance.
Under the reflection of the surrounding firelight, the strange existence that was like a dark shadow in the abyss finally revealed its true appearance.
"I thought you little girls would make some progress during this period, but the result is really disappointing..."
When the messy golden hair that could not be completely covered by the black shawl and the red eyes that flashed with bloodthirsty light even in the darkness appeared in everyone's sight, a brutal aura that was enough to make people kneel down and lie dormant also violently erupted.
——It was a hungry lioness who had bared her fangs at them, ready to start a ruthless hunt.
