Ling Xiao stared at Yuwen Batian. It was difficult for him to describe the Yuwen Batian at this moment. For the first time, something different appeared on his cold and aloof face. What was that? Pain? Disappointed? Lonely? Fragile? It seemed to be both, but it also seemed to be neither.
At this moment, he was no longer the invincible general, no longer the cold and cruel Inspector General, no longer the strong and rational guide that everyone was familiar with. Standing there was an abandoned child, his eyes filled with panic and helplessness.
"Are you sure it's him?" Yuwen Batian did not speak loudly, and his tone was not heavy. However, everyone could feel that each word seemed to carry a weight of 1,000 jin, so heavy that it made them hold their breaths. The few officers present went forward to look at Lin Di's body and then returned without a word. Their faces were gloomy and they did not say a word. Therefore, everyone knew that the person lying there was indeed the young general who had been in the limelight recently and was highly appreciated by the Prince Regent.
"I'm sure it's him."
Yuwen Batian let out a long sigh. As he sighed, he seemed to expel all his weakness and hesitation with his breathing. Once the enemy was confirmed, the strong, confident, and powerful chief inspector was resurrected!
He silently looked at the generals around him one by one. His gaze was deep and solemn, containing a deep meaning. When he saw Ling Xiao, he paused for a moment and asked silently with his clear eyes.
A bone-chilling cold current rushed towards him, and Ling Xiao shivered. He understood Yuwen Batian's meaning, and his heart throbbed. He knew that this was a life and death moment, and he could no longer be at two ends. If he did not make a decision in time, he would not live until dawn.
He immediately stood up, waved his arms, and said loudly,"Brothers, I have something to say! These few years, Daren has led us in many battles, and how much blood has he shed for the country? Without our lord, the imperial capital would have been taken down by the crusaders of the west! Now, the clan wants to attack Daren for no reason and wants to kill a meritorious official like Daren. I, Ling Xiao, am the first to refuse to accept this! Brothers, after so many years, Daren has not mistreated us. We have enjoyed many blessings and committed many sins! We are all tied to the same rope as the adults. If Daren falls, we won't have a good ending either! Today, it's the adults. Tomorrow, it'll be our turn!”
It was good that there was a leader. The officers were agitated."Right, I'm not convinced either!"
"Why? Go reason with the Prince Regent and ask him what happened!”
"Let's go to the Senate and sue him! He's acting recklessly. Depose him!"
"Shut up! All of them were spouting nonsense.”Yuwen Batian's voice was colder than the cold wind in the middle of the night. He looked at his subordinates from the corner of his eyes,""As subjects of the Imperium, do you want to rebel?”
The entire place immediately fell silent. The generals were all speechless. Everyone looked at Yuwen Batian strangely. No one understood what the Inspector General was planning.
Ling Xiao coughed dryly and stood up with his head held high.""Milord, we naturally don't want to rebel! However, the Overwatch Hall has done a great service to the country, yet His Highness the Regent wants to kill us for no reason. This is a chaotic order! Although we are loyal, we are not willing to die without a fight!”
A smile flashed across Yuwen Batian's eyes, but he still kept a straight face.""The ruler is the ruler of the subject. If the ruler wants the subject to die, how can the subject not die? "If His Highness really insists on killing me, you…" He paused. He slowly looked at everyone.
Ling Xiao gritted his teeth and growled,""A fatuous ruler disobeys orders. We rebelled!"
"We rebelled! I swear to follow the general!"
"We rebelled! I swear to follow the general!"
The howling wind carried snow and rushed fiercely towards the standing crowd. The men in black coats had stern expressions. Excitement spread through the crowd, and people's hearts were colder than the whistling wind. Countless whispers gradually gathered together, and the earth-shattering words shook everyone's hearts.
Finally, someone shouted this sentence.
Yuwen Batian's expression was stern. He looked at his subordinates with a dignified gaze, and what responded to him was an equally firm gaze. Standing there were his subordinates who had followed him since the Far East. They were a group of outlaws. They had fought for their country. On the battlefield, they had also burned, killed, and plundered. Their crimes were monstrous. Their sins were as illustrious as their merits. I can't be tolerated by the world. Except for the terrifying group of the Iron Blood Military Police, there was nowhere for them to hide, even though the world was big. Everyone here had committed too many sins. Once someone was abandoned by this group, they would be devoured by a sea of enemies in an instant, leaving no bones behind.
" Brothers," Lin Qing's clear voice reverberated in the wind and snow, shocking everyone."We, the Overwatch Office, are all loyal officials who are loyal to the family. We fight for the country. Blood was shed and sacrifices were made. However, the Prince Regent was blinded by evil and had forgotten who had conquered the empire in the Western Expedition. Who was the one who blocked the Western army and defended the capital when the Crusaders invaded and the Evil Wave ran rampant?”
"Us!" A low, muffled roar was like thunder, rolling over the crowd.
" Right now, His Highness the Prince Regent has been deceived by the evil people around him. He has forgotten our contributions to the country. Not only is he not rewarding us, he is even punishing us for no reason! We are not guilty of meritorious deeds and will not obey! At this time, it is the sacred duty of the Overwatch Office to take resolute action and rescue His Highness the Prince Regent from the hands of those evil villains who have surrounded him!”Yuwen Batian punched fiercely, as if he wanted to knock down that evil villain with a punch." We have to act immediately! There was only one way out, and that was to use force to force him to correct his mistakes and return to the right path! We…purge the side of the ruler! The sky is dead, the yellow sky should be established, the year is in Jiazi!”
"Brothers, my fate is up to me, not the heavens!" Ling Xiao shouted. No one can take our lives!”
A burst of enthusiastic cheers and applause responded to him. The men wrapped in black coats were all excited and shouted,"Military remonstrance! The sky is dead, the yellow sky should be established, the year is in Jiazi!!”
"There is no other choice but to remonstrate!"
10,000 years ago, the first emperor of the Empire roared on the wall of the Imperial City,""Since the establishment of our Dragon Empire, no one dares to disobey!”300 years later, another formidable man made a voice that shook the entire continent in the Imperial Capital."There is no other choice but to remonstrate!"
At that time, neither the crusade nor the demon invasion could shake it. Although the demon race had returned, they could not cross the Yellow River at all. The rule of the Dragon Empire was considered to be solid, unbreakable, and would last forever. At this moment, no one, including the leaders and participants, could imagine that on the night of December 30th, 1999, on the street of Daya West Road in the capital... A group of family soldiers who had been forced into a corner roared with such terrifying power that it completely overturned the foundation of the empire's 10,000-year-old rule. The east entered the Warring States Period and hundreds of countries stood in the east.
The rebellion of the four heroes, which would forever be recorded in history, had just begun. In the following days, the world was shocked, and all the secrets surfaced.
According to the records of the family's military affairs office, at the end of 1999, there were not many troops deployed in the capital. Because most of the Empire's military forces were used to deal with the demons, there were no heavy troops stationed in the capital. Of course, the definition of " heavy troops " was only for ordinary cities. As the capital of a powerful country on the continent, no matter how empty it was, the military strength of the imperial capital was not something that ordinary cities could compare to.
As a family that had risen to prominence through rebellion, the Empire had a long history of being wary of those generals who held a large number of troops. The military strength of the capital military district must not be under the control of one person. This was a secret that the emperor of the Imperium had personally instructed for generations. Therefore, as usual, in order to protect the peace and harmony of the capital area with iron fists and rule the entire Emperor's Garden, the emperor was used to dividing the garrison in the capital area into three divisions.
The first part: The Imperial Guards were the pride of the Empire with its long history and tradition of splendor. Even though this army played a disgraceful role in the Ming Jing rebellion, they were later used by Xiao Feng to wash away their shame on the western battlefield. During the War of the State of Wei, the soldiers of the Imperial Guards fought bravely in the Imperial Capital. They had withstood the terrifying pressure of the Crusaders and laid the foundation for a complete victory in the war. Currently, the current commander of the Imperial Guards was the future successor of the empire, Her Highness Shangguan Shiyu. However, Shiyu was about to take over the government and had many matters to attend to. In reality, the daily affairs were mainly handled by the deputy commander, His Excellency Guo Yijie.
The second part was the Inspectorate.
The third part was the Berserk Wave Legion stationed outside the capital all year round, but the Berserk Wave Legion was mainly there to guard against the foreign kings attacking the capital.
