"What are you doing!?"

Looking at the mechas that surrounded him and others, Eugent III roared in anger.

"Your Majesty, please forgive my impoliteness. We cannot agree with your approach."

At the same time, a mecha soldier spoke.

"The empire's territory is sacred and supreme, and must not be plundered or occupied by others! What you did is a foolish act that completely trampled on the glory of the empire and even the martyrs!"

"you……"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we are not planning a coup. We just want to protect you and this country from those slanderers. We have no choice but to resort to this desperate measure. Please follow us. We promise that we will not harm your lives. As for you..."

As he spoke, the mecha soldier shifted his gun and aimed at Fang Zheng.

"You are a criminal who has used despicable means to occupy the sacred territory of the empire. I demand that you surrender immediately and return the territory you have occupied to the empire! Otherwise, I will sentence you to death!"

"hehe……"

Facing the gun in front of him, Fang Zheng just laughed.

"You want to threaten me with this piece of junk?"

"What did you say?!"

"I have already said this to Prime Minister Osborn, and I will tell you again here. Why do I occupy Crossbell? The reason is very simple..."

Having said this, Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the mecha soldier in front of him.

"That's because I'm stronger than all of you... Get lost!"

“——!!!”

Following Fang Zheng's angry shout, the next moment, the mecha soldiers surrounding the crowd flew backwards as if they were hit by an invisible giant hammer and hit the wall heavily. The mechas were completely shattered and exploded the next moment, turning into a pile of meaningless scrap metal.

“…”

Seeing this scene, Eugent III and others were all stunned and speechless, while Fang Zheng snorted coldly.

"You want to threaten me with this kind of scrap metal? Do you really think I'm here to get you food for free?"

"Father."

Compared to the others, Olivet recovered quickly. After all, he had seen how Fang Zheng beat up the Serpent Apostle who had merged with the Treasure of the Void during the Liberl Incident. A few robots were indeed insignificant in Fang Zheng's eyes. But now was obviously not the time to care about such trivial matters.

"We should leave here immediately. It's no coincidence that the enemy was able to attack the royal city. If we don't leave now, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave."

"But... where should we go?"

Eugent III also came to his senses at this moment. The nobles actually sent troops directly to the royal city, which meant that the entire imperial capital system had been infiltrated by them. There might even be many nobles' accomplices and spies inside the castle. Maybe even the royal guards showed signs of rebellion. In this case, he didn't know who to trust. Moreover, although there were troops loyal to the royal family, most of them were in distant bases and could not be reached.

"Mr. Fang Zheng."

Olivet looked at Fang Zheng.

"Would you please take us to the Blizzard?"

"oh?"

Hearing this, Fang Zheng was stunned for a moment.

"Are you sure?"

"certainly."

Olivet nodded.

"In fact, right now, there is no safer place than the Blizzard."

"I don't mind, but what do you think, Your Majesty Eugent?"

“…”

In response to Fang Zheng's question, Eugent III hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Fang Zheng."

"Well, I didn't expect that signing the contract would lead to so many things..."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders.

"Come with me."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng walked towards the balcony. Although the emperor and his party were somewhat puzzled, they hurriedly followed him. Then, they followed Fang Zheng to the viewing platform not far from the main hall. Originally, according to the plan, after signing the agreement, Fang Zheng and the emperor would meet here and shake hands with each other. But now... the scene outside was completely different.

Looking out from the balcony, the entire Crimson Capital was filled with smoke and looked in a mess. At the same time, everyone saw several tanks speeding along the street towards the palace.

"That's the Imperial Capital Guard Division! Father, we are saved!!"

Seeing the emblem on the tank, the young prince shouted with joy. However, the good times did not last long. Just as the tanks were about to arrive in front of the palace, several mechas suddenly appeared on the other side. Although the tanks of the Imperial Capital Guard Division also hurriedly slowed down and stopped, and fired at these mechas, the mechas dodged their attacks with unimaginable flexibility, and then rushed forward and easily dismantled the tanks of the Guard Division into scrap metal.

“How could it be…”

Seeing this scene, the young prince was dumbfounded, and the others also gasped. Now they finally understood why the nobles were able to invade the palace in such a short time without encountering any resistance at all - facing the powerful forces of the nobles, the fighting power here was too weak.

"Okay, let's leave first, and then we'll talk about it later."

Fang Zheng retracted his gaze, then took out a car key from his pocket and pressed it twice. With two "chirp" sounds, the empty space in front of everyone suddenly began to distort, and then a silver-white battleship appeared on the edge of the balcony as if it had emerged out of thin air.

“This, this is…”

The emperor and the others were also extremely surprised at the scene. They knew that this huge silver-white spaceship had been parked here, but they had not noticed it at all. If Fang Zheng had not started it, they would have thought that there was nothing on the balcony!

"Okay, hurry up and go up, the enemy will attack us soon."

At this moment, the mechas had once again broken through the defenses of the palace and rushed over. Fang Zheng also urged them casually, and then Eugent III, the princess, the two princes, and the princess hurriedly walked towards the warship.

However, at this moment, suddenly, an angry shout rang out.

"You can't get away!"

Hearing this sound, everyone was also shocked. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw a pale blue mecha suddenly falling from the sky and rushing towards them. The blue mecha held a long gun in its hand and stabbed it at the balcony.

Faced with this storm-like attack, everyone instinctively closed their eyes and stretched out their hands to block the attack.

However, the impact they expected did not come. Instead, Fang Zheng's voice sounded again.

"Really? There's no end to this one after another."

After hearing Fang Zheng's somewhat impatient complaint, everyone opened their eyes and looked forward. Then, their eyes suddenly widened in amazement.

In front of them, Fang Zheng was standing there, his left hand in his pocket, with a finger of his right hand extended - and that finger was holding back the huge spear tip of the blue mecha, as if it was just a paper toy.

"To me, men who keep pestering others are the most annoying."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng bent his index finger and lightly flicked the tip of the spear in front of him.

"clang--!!!"

The next moment, the tip of the spear that was hit by Fang Zheng's bullet suddenly shattered, and the body of the spear suddenly shot out, piercing through the body of the pale blue mecha, and flew into the air with it, drawing a graceful arc in the sky before falling down and disappearing without a trace.

“A waste of time.”

Fang Zheng clapped his hands and turned to look at everyone.

"Okay, let's go."

Soon, after taking in Emperor Eugent and several other royal members as well as their guards and attendants, the Blizzard immediately increased its altitude and disappeared into the clouds.

At the same time, Emperor Eugent also used Fangzheng's communication system to try to contact troops from all over the country to come to the rescue, but the news he received was worse than the last.

According to the news from fortresses and bases in various places, almost at the same time as the nobles attacked the imperial capital, military bases in various parts of the empire were attacked. In addition to the nobles' private soldiers, they were also attacked by hunters and mysterious organizations whose identities were unknown. Although the imperial soldiers were not comparable to ordinary nobles' private soldiers in terms of combat experience, the humanoid mechas owned by the other side did change the battle situation to a great extent.

In addition, the four great families all rebelled, and some minor nobles chose to remain neutral for the time being. Under such circumstances, it can be said that 60% of the empire has fallen into the hands of the nobles. The remaining 40% is also struggling to hold on, and it is unknown when they will be finished.

This is the end of the aristocratic feudal system.

Looking at the livid Emperor Eugent, Fang Zheng also laughed. The nobles held too much power, and even the emperor could do nothing about it. These nobles were now blatantly rebelling under the banner of "clearing the emperor's side". Now even if the emperor spoke out, it would be useless, because according to these nobles, the emperor was bewitched and threatened by the reformists, so even if he called for a ceasefire, the other side would refuse on the grounds that the emperor was forced or deceived.

Politics is history, and history is politics.

Fang Zheng finished his sigh and looked at everyone.

"So...what are you going to do next?"

Originally, Fang Zheng was planning to find a safe place to drop off the emperor and his entourage, then return to Crossbell and watch the fire from the other side. Anyway, the civil unrest in Erebonia was none of his business, so he just hoped that they wouldn't come to Crossbell to cause trouble.

But now it seems that there is no safe place inside this empire?

"Well……"

Facing Fang Zheng's question, Eugent III didn't know what to say for a moment. Fortunately, at this moment, Olivet appeared in time and interrupted the embarrassment.

"Mr. Fang Zheng, we have made a discovery."

"Discover?"

"Yes, we found that there are troops fighting with the nobles' pursuers outside the imperial capital! We hope you can lend a hand! Save them. After all, for us now, it would be great if we could have more help!"

"All right."

Hearing what Olivet said, Fang Zheng shrugged.

"That's settled then."
