At Olivet's signal, Fang Zheng also saw the army he mentioned on the screen. It was a group of troops wearing gray uniforms, looking more like police. The leader was a blue-haired girl with a side ponytail, and next to her was a girl who looked slightly younger. She was operating a strange weapon and was blocking the attack of the noble army.
Although the two girls performed exceptionally well, the nobles had more people and more weapons, so it looked like they wouldn't be able to hold out for long.
"What is this? It doesn't look like the army."
"That's the railway gendarmerie."
Olivet also hurriedly explained.
"After the previous... terrorist attack, Prime Minister Osborne established a special unit dedicated to counter-terrorism and armed suppression. Even among the special forces, they are the elite among the elite."
"Who is the girl in the lead?"
"Claire Levert, second lieutenant of the Railway Military Police, and one of the Sons of Iron."
"Son of Iron and Blood?"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows.
"What is her relationship with the prime minister? Father and daughter?"
"That's about right. Prime Minister Osborn adopted several orphans, raised them up, and promoted them to join the imperial government. Each of them is very capable, so they are called the Sons of Iron and Blood."
"Is that so... Are you sure you want to let them come up? Aren't they the prime minister's confidants?"
"Yes, but my father and Prime Minister Osborne have always had a harmonious relationship, and our empire implements a dual monarchy, with the emperor and the prime minister exercising power at the same time, so..."
"So if Prime Minister Osborne doesn't have the emperor's trust, he won't be able to do these things... Well, since you said so, let's do it this way."
Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders and said nothing more. There was one thing he didn't tell Olivet, that was that Chancellor Osborne could not be killed. In fact, when he first saw Chancellor Osborne, Fang Zheng saw at a glance that there was a curse hidden in his body. This curse was bound to his soul, so it could be said that Chancellor Osborne could not die even if he wanted to. In this way, the so-called death news was very strange.
Fang Zheng wanted to say this, but then he thought it would be too much trouble to explain this. Besides, it was all internal affairs of the empire, so why should he care about it?
If it rains, it will rain; if a woman wants to marry, let her be.
At the same time, the battle situation below was becoming increasingly tense. The noble soldiers relied on their numbers to delay the soldiers of the Railway Gendarmerie. At the same time, the humanoid mechas had already appeared in front of them. Obviously, they had no way to escape at this time.
"Mr. Fang Zheng!"
"I know……"
Hearing Olivet's voice, Fang Zheng waved his hand, then he stretched out his hand and waved it around the keyboard.
"Well... there's nothing useful to do at this distance. Forget it, I'll just do it myself."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
At the same time, the surrounded Railway Military Police soldiers had reached the end of their rope, and the remaining soldiers retreated step by step in the face of the encirclement of the noble soldiers. The blue-haired girl tightly grasped the gun in her hand, looking at the humanoid mecha behind the noble army with a serious and solemn expression, and then she looked at the short-haired girl beside her and whispered.
"Miriam, I will lead the others to open a passage in a moment. You should take that opportunity to escape quickly! As long as you use your 'Silver Arm', you should be able to escape from the battlefield before others."
"But what about you, Claire?"
Hearing the blue-haired girl's order, the short-haired girl's expression suddenly changed.
"It would be better if I stayed here. You know how powerful Xiaoyin is. If I take action, maybe I can stop those strange mecha soldiers..."
"Listen to me. I have a special status. Even if these nobles capture me, they won't be stupid enough to kill me. But you are different. Remember our mission!"
"Ugh... okay."
Hearing this, the short-haired girl gritted her teeth and nodded. At the same time, the mechas had already arrived in front of them. The blue-haired girl clenched her weapons and gave a loud order.
"Everyone obeys my orders..."
However, before the blue-haired girl could finish her words, an unexpected scene happened.
“——!!”
Just a blink of an eye.
In less than a second, suddenly, countless blades, spears and swords appeared out of thin air. They formed criss-crossing canine teeth, piercing through the bodies of all the noble soldiers and mechas present.
The incident happened so suddenly that even the soldiers themselves did not notice it until their bodies were pierced. Then they lowered their heads in confusion, looking at the sharp swords that had pierced their bodies with incredible looks.
“Swish!!”
The next moment, all the sword blades suddenly disappeared out of thin air, and after losing their support, the noble soldiers and the mechas fell to the ground with a loud bang, without a sound.
What on earth happened?
Seeing this scene, the blue-haired girl was stunned, and a chill suddenly rose in her heart. All this happened without any sign. If this was some kind of spell, there should be at least a sign. But now, in front of her, there were only bloody corpses - if it weren't for the obvious piercing wounds on the corpses, the blue-haired girl would even think she was dreaming.
And at this moment, suddenly, the short-haired girl next to her pulled her sleeve hard.
“Sister Claire, look!!”
As she shouted, the girl stretched out her hand and pointed to the sky. The blue-haired girl looked up and saw a strange and bizarre silver battleship emerging from the clouds and slowly descending...
"Second Lieutenant Claire Levert of the Railway Gendarmerie reports to you, Your Majesty!"
Standing on the bridge, the blue-haired girl respectfully saluted Eugent III.
"Miriam Orion of the Erebonia Imperial Military Intelligence Agency, hello, Your Majesty."
At the same time, the short-haired girl standing next to her also greeted the emperor with a smile.
"Don't be rude to His Majesty!"
"No thanks. This is an emergency, so we don't need to care about this. Besides, we are guests here."
Having said this, Eugent III nodded to Fang Zheng, and then looked at Claire again.
"So, Lieutenant Claire, do you have anything to report?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. We have found out that the one who sniped Chancellor Osborn was 'Comrade C' of the Imperial Liberation Front - Chloe Ambust. He was originally from Zhulai City, and his grandfather was Mayor Ambust of Zhulai City. Now he is taking action with the United Nobles Army..."
At this point, Claire hesitated.
"Not only that, according to the intelligence we received, the United Army of Nobles even reached an agreement with the Republic..."
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Eugent III could no longer sit still.
"They are actually colluding with foreign countries!? Really... Really..."
"Okay, now is not the time to talk about this."
Fang Zheng waved his hand and looked at Claire again.
"So, is there any safe place in this empire now?"
“This… is true.”
"Oh? Really?"
"Yes, when the noble coalition invaded, I had already warned Lieutenant General Olaf Craig and asked him to lead the troops to an abandoned training ground for hiding in order to avoid the attack from the noble coalition and preserve their strength. I think they should be safe there."
Then there is no need to say what comes next.
"Very well, then let's go there - where is that place?"
"Well……"
Facing Fang Zheng's question, Lieutenant Claire couldn't help but reveal an embarrassed expression.
"You will soon find out..."
When Fang Zheng followed Lieutenant Claire's instructions and came to the abandoned training ground, he finally understood why Lieutenant Claire had such an expression.
The reason is simple, because the training ground is located in the surrounding area of Garelia Fortress.
If you look from a high place, you can even see the fortress itself, which was bombed with only a big hole left, and the blue fleet floating in the sky in the distance.
"Since Crossbell once issued a warning that no imperial army should enter Crossbell's sphere of influence, the noble alliance army did not dare to act rashly. In this case, this place is actually the safest..."
Claire was also embarrassed at this moment. To put it bluntly, this place relied on Crossbell's deterrent power to scare off the noble coalition army. Originally, as long as Crossbell didn't investigate such things, they would just let them go. After all, this place was also within the empire's own territory.
But who can blame him for having the boss sitting right in front of him?
This is very embarrassing.
Olaf was also a famous general in the empire, and he was naturally loyal to the royal family. Seeing that the emperor and his entourage were safe and sound, he was extremely happy and said that he would swear to protect the safety of the emperor's family. Since he had sent the people there, Fang Zheng patted his butt and planned to leave.
But unexpectedly, Eugent III called him back again.
"Mr. Fang Zheng, please wait a moment. I have an unwelcome request."
"Since it's an unreasonable request, then don't say it."
Although Eugent III hadn't spoken yet, Fang Zheng already knew what he wanted to say.
"Although it has not been officially announced, our foreign policy at Crossbell is not to interfere in other countries' internal affairs."
"But it hasn't been officially announced yet, has it?"
Facing Fang Zheng's rejection, Eugent III seemed very calm and even smiled.
"I promise I won't let you down, Mr. Fang Zheng."
As expected, politicians are all like rats, they will crawl into any hole they find.
Fang Zheng rolled his eyes, then took a chair and sat down.
"Tell me, what's the matter? Let me be clear in advance, I won't do anything that's too troublesome."
