“The prince controls the city of Deke, a castle that is very important, and most of the knight corps’ forces are concentrated there.
The Knight Commander's rebellion this time must have been planned with him in advance, with the intention of seizing the throne."
"The Knight Commander has now led his knight corps to capture several surrounding castles without any effort at all."
"What's even worse now is that their knight corps has already withdrawn most of its forces, leaving me without any troops to command."
"The consequences will be very serious. We really need to think carefully about what to do next..."
Thinking of this, Lu Yun sighed softly. This was indeed a bit bad.
It won't be long before the Knights Legion and Knight Commander Marcoa will capture most of the surrounding city-states.
Then the city of Athens would be in danger. Once Athens was conquered, all the city-states in the entire Holy Empire would choose to surrender.
After all, even Athens had been conquered and the queen had been killed, so why would they continue to persist? Moreover, the prince was a member of the royal family.
The prince has the right to inherit the throne of king, so as long as Yalian City is captured, the king of their Holy Empire will have to give up the throne.
"Don't worry. This is actually an opportunity. If the Knight Commander chooses to rebel, you can also take this opportunity to directly seize back the military power that belongs to you as the king.
At that time, the military power will be redistributed to ensure that I can deploy troops and generals."
“Opportunities and dangers come at the same time. If you can withstand them all, everything will be clear in the end.”
After hearing this, Juliana realized that even after several days, he was still thinking about how to take back the military power of the Knights Corps.
This is indeed a good opportunity, a godsend. As long as the Knights' Corps is taken down, the military power will indeed be redistributed, and the Queen will not be so lonely.
But it is not that easy. The Knights' Corps is extremely powerful, and their armors are also very sophisticated and sturdy.
In addition, with the support of the prince, their power is growing and will eventually approach the city of Athens.
"But have you ever considered that we in Athens don't have many soldiers right now? Even if we gather all the soldiers from the surrounding city-states together, they still can't compare to the Knights. So things are very bad right now."
Lu Yun smiled calmly. He knew that the queen had no experience in such situations, so she would appear very flustered.
He was no longer surprised by such things. As a eunuch who had been trained in the palace, he understood this feeling too well.
As a member of the royal family, you really have to keep an eye on it.
"What do you think I should do?"
“Actually, it’s very simple.”
"The most important goal right now is to cover up this matter and avoid causing panic in the city. This letter should have been sent from someone we trust."
"As long as we don't spread the news and cause panic among the people in the city, we'll have a chance. But if the civilians in the city panic, especially the nobles, then it will be disastrous."
"Also, call all the officials and nobles here immediately and ask them to keep this matter secret.
If it is leaked, we must quickly appease these civilians and not let them worry."
Queen Juliana thought for a moment and felt that this method was indeed feasible. After all, everyone's emotions needed to be stabilized.
Don't let them panic too much, and then slowly think of a solution. However, the enemy's speed in capturing the city is very fast, and they must also respond.
"Then what?"
"Leave the important matters to me. Don't underestimate your knight corps, as they seem powerful. But in reality, you are no match for them in battle. You are just wearing hard armor."
Lu Yun understood these feelings too well. Even if he and Zhao Yueyao called over the troops of the Malaysian Empire, they could easily defeat the other side.
"May I?"
"I know you possess the strength of a god. As the saying goes, outnumbered are no match for many. Although you two are very powerful individually, your contribution on the battlefield is minimal."
Lu Yun shook his head, "No, no, no, you don't understand this!"
“Ordinary people’s individual combat capabilities are indeed weaker, but we two have divine powers, and you both say we are messengers of the gods.
If we still cannot defeat these rebels, it will be a laughing stock."
"You must calm everyone down as quickly as possible. Also, lend me your Royal Guards and the troops from the surrounding city-states."
"How about I personally go and quell their rebellion and take back the military power while I'm at it?"
Zhu Lina sighed softly, feeling helpless. Things had developed to this point, what else could he do?
He just hopes to quell this rebellion and prevent the matter from getting worse. He believes that with Lu Yuntian's strength as a messenger of God, leading troops to fight will not be a problem.
"I hope so. I hope this isn't fake."
"Of course!"
Lu Yun nodded, looking very calm, as if he was used to this kind of sudden villain appearance.
Queen Juliana had never experienced such a thing before. Not only was she betrayed by the Knights Legion and the Knight Commander, but she suffered a great psychological blow as a queen.
Do they look down on a woman like me and the queen?
The Knight Commander had quarreled with him so fiercely in the beginning because he was unwilling to hand over the military power, but now he easily handed over the military power to his brother.
A prince...
"Alas... this kind of thing is really one wave after another, and it's so unexpected that it will happen so quickly."
Zhu Lina had no choice but to pray for a miracle in her heart, praying that his words were really right and that she could definitely get through this difficult time.
Soon, she used her thundering methods to cover up the news as quickly as possible to prevent the people in the city from panicking.
At the same time, he also handed over the entirety of his guards to Lu Yun.
It would take several days to mobilize the troops of several city-states near Athens.
But what they feared was that the Knight Commander would use this short period of time to seize most of their city-state.
Lu Yun remained calm. He looked at these well-trained guards and said to them coldly, "Everyone, we have a tough battle ahead of us."
"Those are your former comrades, the Knights!"
"They were blinded by greed and couldn't think straight for a moment, so they chose to rebel. We have to understand."
