Hilmeria acted quickly. Just as Fang Zheng was driving towards the fortress, he received a report from Hilmeria. However, the content of the report surprised Fang Zheng.
"What did you say?"
Fang Zheng stepped on the brakes and stared at the radio in front of him in surprise, and Hilmeria's voice came from it.
"I have contacted Phyllis, sir. According to Phyllis's report, not long ago, the Intelligence Department announced that the Royal Guards were suspected of treason and arrested them. Some members of the Royal Guards escaped, including Lieutenant Julia Schwartz. The capital is currently under martial law..."
After hearing Hilmeria's report, not only Fang Zheng, but also Estelle, Joshua and Tita were all shocked.
"The Intelligence Department arrested the Royal Guards? What did Her Majesty say?"
"Her Majesty did not make an appearance."
"……I see."
Hearing this, Fang Zheng nodded slightly.
"Keep monitoring. Report to me immediately if anything happens."
"yes."
After giving the order, Fang Zheng held the steering wheel and squinted his eyes to look forward. Seeing that Fang Zheng didn't move, Tida was obviously a little anxious.
"Brother Fang Zheng, go save my grandpa!"
"Wait a minute, Tida, something's not right."
"Why?"
"You still remember that we saw on the screen before that those people changed into the clothes of the Royal Guards and then swaggered out of the Central Workshop."
"……Um."
Although they didn't know why Fang Zheng asked this question, Estelle and Joshua nodded.
"At that time, I kept thinking about one thing. There are so many troops in the Kingdom of Liberl, why did they pretend to be the royal guards? If they wanted to avoid being discovered, they could just wear ordinary military uniforms. In this way, we would have nowhere to go if we wanted to track them down in the future, right?"
"Now that you put it that way..."
Joshua's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard Fang Zheng's question.
"Is this the reason they captured Dr. Russell?"
"It is very likely that they disguised themselves as members of the Royal Guard, attacked the Central Workshop, and took away Dr. Russell. Then they threw the bucket of dirty water on the Royal Guard, and in this way, they could achieve their own goal."
"But Mr. Fang Zheng, don't you have that network?"
At this moment, Estell also interrupted in confusion.
"As long as we rescue Dr. Russell and show the footage of that website to everyone, won't we be able to clear their name?"
“That’s the problem.”
Fang Zheng snapped his fingers.
"Why do you think Her Majesty the Queen has not commented on this? She is not abroad now, but in the palace. If the Intelligence Department wants to take action against the Royal Guards, will Her Majesty the Queen agree? But Her Majesty the Queen has remained silent, which is very unusual. So I suspect that, looking at the current situation, Her Majesty the Queen may have been placed under house arrest by the Intelligence Department."
"Eh? Hey, hey, hey! Wait, Mr. Fang Zheng, you don't mean to..."
"It's a coup d'etat, nine out of ten times it's a sure thing."
“…”
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Estelle, Joshua and Tida were all stunned, their mouths wide open and speechless for a while. They originally thought that it was some evil organization's conspiracy in private, such as they wanted to capture Dr. Russell to help them carry out some evil plan.
But they didn't expect that such a thing would develop like this.
A coup? In Liberl?
Estelle just felt like she was dreaming.
"You are kidding, Mr. Founder."
"I wish I was joking, but I'll take a look at the situation first... Dr. Russell won't be in any trouble for a while, and we need more information... Well, you wait here for a moment."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng got out of the car, walked to an open space, and casually summoned the "Whispering Banner".
"Mirror, mirror, tell me what men really want... MIRROR MIRROR ON THE WALL, WHO'S THE FAIREST OF THEM ALL..."
It took Fang Zheng just one song to figure out the situation.
"The Intelligence Department kidnapped Princess Clotia and used her to force the Queen to abdicate. Using this incident as an excuse to suppress the Royal Guards is just an excuse. Now even General Morgan is under house arrest at the Haken Gate... Well, there are really a lot of troubles."
"real?"
Everyone was quite surprised to see Fang Zheng figure out everything clearly when he came back from using the toilet.
"So what should we do now, Mr. Fang Zheng?"
"No big deal."
While answering Estell's questions, Fang Zheng shifted gears again, started the engine, and stepped on the accelerator.
"Now that we know the root of the matter, the next step will be very simple. We will rescue Dr. Russell first, then rescue Princess Clotia, and finally rescue Her Majesty the Queen. It's that simple!"
"boom--!!!"
As Fang Zheng finished speaking, the next moment the dark chariot roared forward again like a wild horse and rushed quickly towards the direction of Reston Fortress.
"Wait, is that it? The other party has taken control of the army...!"
"It's okay. I have a Azure Dragon on my left and a White Tiger on my right. The old cow is at my waist and the dragon head is at my chest. Anyone who stands in my way will be killed. Even if a Buddha stands in my way, I will kill him!"
"What on earth are you talking about!!!"
As they were talking, the Reston Fortress was already in sight. As the headquarters of the Kingdom of Liberl, which had once shone brightly during the Hundred Days War, it was naturally heavily guarded, with the steel gates tightly closed and a long suspension bridge connecting the fortress. At this moment, seeing the dark chariot rushing over, soon, a warning sounded from the Reston Fortress.
"The vehicle ahead should immediately slow down and stop for inspection! You have invaded the military restricted area. I repeat, you have invaded the military restricted area...!!"
However, facing the warning, Fang Zheng was not afraid at all. He gently pressed the thumb of his left hand under the steering wheel. The next moment, a beam of light suddenly emerged from the front of the black chariot and directly hit the steel gate of the Reston Fortress. In the blink of an eye, the three-layer steel gate that was strong enough to withstand artillery attacks melted like butter. Then the black chariot roared into the fortress, turned a corner and stopped steadily on the training ground.
At the same time, hundreds of soldiers rushed over in full armor, raised their weapons, and surrounded the dark chariot. Then, a man in military uniform with a somewhat miserable face walked out.
"Who are you? Why are you trespassing into Fort Reston?"
Amid the man's angry shouts, Fang Zheng opened the door and got out of the car. Seeing his bold move, Estelle, Joshua and Tita were all shocked.
There are hundreds of fully armed soldiers outside! !
"Who are you?"
"I'm Major Sid of Reston Fortress. Who are you and why are you trespassing into the fortress?"
"You don't need to know who I am."
Fang Zheng waved his hand.
"I am here for only one thing, to hand over Dr. Russell who was kidnapped by you."
"You, what are you talking about?"
Upon hearing Fang Zheng's words, Major Sid's expression suddenly changed.
"I don't know what you are talking about, come, arrest them!!"
As he spoke, Major Sid waved his hand, and soon he saw several soldiers walking towards Fang Zheng. However, facing these soldiers holding weapons, Fang Zheng put his hands behind his back, squinted his eyes and stared at them, then he snorted coldly.
"snort."
Just a nasal sound.
However, the faces of the three people who heard this voice in the car all changed. They felt that this voice was just like coming from their hearts, hitting their chests hard, and they felt an indescribable discomfort. However, the soldiers in front of Fang Zheng seemed to be even worse. Most of them rolled their eyes and fell to the ground and fainted. Only a few people could barely withstand the sudden burst of dragon power from Fang Zheng, but even so, they were not much better.
"You, who are you?!"
Major Sid, who was lying on the ground, looked at Fang Zheng with fear on his face. His whole body was shaking uncontrollably, and he looked at Fang Zheng as if he were a beast that he could not understand. Even though Major Sid tried to stand up, his body seemed to be completely out of his control.
"Listen, I know that the Intelligence Department has Princess Clotia under house arrest and is using her as a bargaining chip to threaten Her Majesty the Queen, so they put on such a clown show."
“…”
Hearing this, Major Sid trembled all over, and the soldiers around him who were not unconscious were in an uproar. Most of them didn't know what had happened, although they knew that the situation in the fortress was very wrong in the past two days. But they didn't expect that such a thing would happen!
"So I'm asking you again, where is Dr. Russell? This is the last time. If you still don't want to cooperate, then I'll have to find him myself."
"Wait, wait a minute."
Sensing the murderous intent in Fang Zheng's eyes, Major Sid quickly raised his hand.
"I, I will take you to find Dr. Russell. Don't attack the other soldiers, they are just following orders!"
After Major Sid said this, he felt the invisible pressure on him disappear instantly, and his body, which had been out of control, regained control at this time.
"Okay, since you said so, then lead the way."
“…Follow me.”
Soon, under the leadership of Major Sid, everyone found the imprisoned Dr. Russell. Fortunately, he seemed to be completely unharmed.
"grandfather--!!"
Seeing her grandfather, Tita could no longer bear it, and rushed forward crying and hugged Dr. Russell. Dr. Russell was also stunned when he saw his granddaughter throwing herself into his arms, and then he immediately glared at Major Sid.
"You are so despicable. It's not enough to arrest me, but you also want to arrest my granddaughter?"
"No, that's not it, Grandpa, we are here to save you!"
Hearing Dr. Russell's words, Tita also spoke hurriedly, and at the same time, Fang Zheng also walked into the room and waved at Dr. Russell.
"Hey, Doctor, you're still alive? I feel relieved to see you look so energetic."
"Fang Zheng? What's going on?"
"Okay, now the doctor has been returned to you."
Major Sid stared at Fang Zheng, still with an extremely sad expression.
"But I must tell you that what happened here will soon be known to the intelligence department, and they have blocked all docks and checkpoints under the pretext of searching for escaped members of the Royal Guard. Not only that, they have also put General Morgan under house arrest, and the families of most military generals have been taken hostage, so the military can't take any action at all now."
"For just an intelligence department, it's really capable."
Hearing what Major Sid said, Fang Zheng snorted coldly.
"What are you going to do, Mr. Founder?"
"Although strictly speaking, I should let you come back to life and bring your weapons with me to the royal city, but this is obviously not a good idea... Fortunately, I have made preparations."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng connected his personal terminal.
"Ling, start the Blizzard and come to Fort Reston."
“…”
"Hmm? Ling? Please answer when you hear me?"
"Wait, big brother!!"
However, this time, what Fang Zheng heard was Ling's voice, which was a little bit angry.
"Wait until I take care of these two intruders!"
"Who are you calling an intruder, you thieving cat! Do you really think I'm afraid of you?!"
“Waaaaaah, stop it, stop it… Didn’t the Master give the order?”
"No, I must decide the winner with you today! Watch this! Nightmare Spin!"
"Hehehe, you're just a fool after all. Do you think you can beat me? Trace on!!"
“…”
Listening to the voice coming from his personal terminal, Fang Zheng frowned.
Not sure if he was hallucinating, but he seemed to hear two very familiar voices?
