Not to mention such a mere 30,000 army, even if we come again 300,000, we will probably shake our heads faster if we want to break through this magic circle.

"This magic circle has powerful magic energy, and the magic tower in the palace is an automatically charged magic circle base." Hugo quickly dispelled the last trace of luck in Manstein's heart with straightforward words: "So, if you want to consume the magic power of the magic circle in the way of consumption, it is better to dispel this idea as soon as possible."

"Then... Dean, do you have any way to break this magic circle?" Manstein placed his hope on Hugo.

"…………No." Hugo's answer made everyone fall into silence.

The fat old man's tone was also a little unrestrained: "When this magic circle was built, he used holy masters as his imaginary enemy. Although this statement may be a bit exaggerated, according to my guess, even if he gathered more than a dozen high-level magicians, he would never be able to do anything about this magic circle. If you want to solve this problem, unless there is a holy magician in charge, there may be hope of breaking the magic circle... Otherwise, you can only wait for the people in the palace to close the magic circle by themselves.

However, I heard that once this magic circle is opened, the operation cycle will be at least three days. Within three days, even those who preside over the magic circle in the city will not be able to close the magic circle. Only when the three-day period expires will the magic circle be closed."

"Three days?!"

Manstein jumped up and shouted sternly: "What happened in the city right now? We don't know yet! But since Your Majesty ignited the emergency fireworks in the palace, there must be some huge change! Your Majesty is in the city now and we are in danger. But we, the Imperial soldiers, cannot enter the city to serve the king?! Three days!! Three days, if someone wants to harm Your Majesty, three days will pass, and I am afraid that everything will be too late!!"

Hugo spread his hands: "General, please believe that we are as anxious as you are now. The academy has been offered by the royal family in all dynasties and is also loyal to Your Majesty. At this moment, we are also anxious. However, this magic circle is the strongest magic circle created by the empire for thousands of years. It is definitely not something that ordinary humans can crack. If you don't believe it... we can also give it a try."

Manstein was helpless.

Then, the people from the Magic Academy also made some attempts. This attempt was not so much a final struggle, but rather a relief for Manshi and themselves.!

Hugo came forward in person and cast magic with three high-level mages in white.

Several elder-level figures in the Magic Academy each showed their own abilities and successively cast several aggressive magics, fire-type water-type wind system.

Hugo did not keep anything, so the old man came up and used a precious high-level magic scroll!

It triggered a magical earthquake in the soil!

The strong earthquake shocked the area around the city with an area of ​​hundreds of meters radius, and countless cracks and even pits appeared on the ground! Many stones and trees were submerged, and the rest were also tilted!

If this amazing magic is used on the siege, it will be enough to shake the city defense down!

Unfortunately, when the earthquake shaking spread to the edge of the city defense, it was quickly dispelled by the magical magic light!

Outside the city, the ground was in a violent turmoil, but within the magic light a step away, the city defense stood there and remained motionless!!

All other magicians' attempts were declared to be failed. Whether it was the flame attack caused by fire magic, the freezing or the wind blade storm caused by water wind, they were all blocked by this desperate magic light!

Just when the crowd was helpless, in the afternoon, there was finally a reaction at the gate of the imperial capital!

A group of soldiers wearing Thunder Whip armor appeared on the empty city defense.

After these soldiers entered the city, the people from the royal guards outside the city saw it and immediately reported it to Manstein and others.

When Manstein and Hugo and other magicians came to the formation, they saw the changes in the city and immediately stunned them!

Especially Manstein's body was shocked, and his whole body was stunned on the spot, and then his whole body trembled violently!

Just because on the city defense, the soldiers of Thunder Whip came to the city gate and ignored the guards lined up under the city, but hung several flags high on the flagpole on the city gate!!

The customs of the Roland people are mourning with blackness!

When the black thorny royal flag was hung high, all the soldiers of the guards under the city were in an uproar!!

The flag of the thorn flower is the royal flag! Black is the sorrow!!

When the black royal flag is hung out, it means: a person with a noble status in the royal family has passed away!

In the imperial capital, who else can have a more noble identity than...?!!

Especially Manstein, after his whole body trembled, he rushed out almost out of his composure. If it weren't for his deputy, he would have been afraid that the general would have rushed into the range of the magic cannon!

Manstein pointed to the direction of the city and shouted loudly: "Hey!! The people above!!! What happened to this Ai Banner·Ai Banner·What the hell is going on!!! What happened to the city!! Damn! You guys are talking!!!"

However, the team of soldiers who were flying the flag-flying Thor's Whip seemed to have received orders and ignored Manstein and others under the city. After hanging the flag, they quickly left the city tower.

The long waiting is like countless ants devouring their hearts.

It was not until dark that someone finally came to the city again!

This time, the person who came to the city was met by Manstein!

General of the Second Division of Thunder Whip, Lieutenant General of the Empire, and the next heir to the Rawlin family's patriarch, Aker!

Aker had already put on a clean and mighty armor of the imperial military ministers.

Behind him were several generals and officers in the Thunder Whip, as well as several senior officials in the Imperial Army.

His appearance immediately made Manstein and others nervous.

Aker was obviously very clear about the situation outside the city, so he stood above the city gate, with burning torches behind him illuminating the entire city gate.

"The one under the city is Manstein of the Royal City Guards!"

Akel's majestic voice came, and it fell clearly into the ears of every guard soldier.

Manstein's face was pale. He had already guessed what was going on in his heart. He barely stepped forward and shouted loudly: "It's me! General Aker, what happened in the city! Please tell me immediately! I, I am ordered to lead my army into the city to serve the king!!"

Aker's eyes immediately fell on Manstein.

Then, he slowly received a royal warrant from the person behind him!

"General Manstein, I'm here to announce the latest imperial order, please listen!" Aker took a deep breath and announced loudly with an expressionless expression.

"Just last night, the rebels led by Nanko = Duke Augustine, and Duzel = Marquis Augustine and others took advantage of the New Year's Eve celebration and launched a sinful and despicable court coup with a group of ambitious people hiding in the empire! Unfortunately, our great emperor, His Majesty Marshi = Augustine, was unfortunately killed in this sinful coup and killed by these thieves. Under the command of His Highness Prince Hilo = Prince Augustine, the soldiers of the Second Division of Thunder Whip

The bloody battle finally wiped out this coup, destroyed the rebels, and preserved the imperial royal family's legal system. Now the rebellion in the city has been destroyed, and the former emperor unfortunately passed away. For the sake of the state affairs of the empire, Prince Hiro = Augustine has inherited the throne of the emperor. Under the rituals of the Pope Heinx and the chairman of the Magic Trade Union, the coronation ceremony was completed! Now that the new emperor has succeeded, I, Aker = Rollin, is ordered to serve as the interim military minister and control the army! This order is passed on to the world today!"

Speaking of this, Akerd paused and looked at Manstein, who was already dissatisfied under the city: "General Manstein, under the order of the new emperor, the royal guards immediately stopped siege the city, put down their weapons, and the entire army returned to the military camp outside the city to station. No rash is allowed! Those who violate the order are punished for treason! The command of the guards is still under General Garonin... General Manstein, have you heard clearly? If there is no problem, please execute the imperial order!!"

Manstein almost sat on the ground after his body softened!

"Your Majesty... He... He's dead?!!"

Although Aker read out, Manstein, as a loyal royalist, naturally would not give up so easily.

It is not because of how loyal he is to the Emperor. It is just that Manstein knew that with his mediocre military strategy, he could sit in this position today. The only source of all his glory and wealth is His Majesty the Emperor's trust!

If the Emperor is gone, everything about himself will become a mirror and a water moon! The smoke and clouds will disappear!!

What's more, the coup last night was done by those "real Augustines" and even killed the emperor...

If it were a foreigner, it might be fine. But how could Manstein, who had been in the imperial capital for a long time, not know about this?

Just because of those "real Augustines", even though some samurai guards and other mobs gathered quietly at home, they wanted to kill the emperor? It was simply nonsense!

Are those thousands of imperial guards all decorations?!

Are the thousands of police patrols in the city all decorations?!

Are you all the Thunder Whip that you take over and guard against?!!!

At this moment, even an idiot can guess some clues!

The city defense was closed, the magic circle was opened, and the emperor died unknown. Prince Shilo hurriedly succeeded to the throne and was crowned...

Manstein really refused to let go!

Everything about him comes from the late emperor. He knew very well that if he gave up, then what was waiting for him was... everything, and his glory and wealth would disappear! Maybe... maybe even his last life might not be able to escape!

But...resist to the end?

The emperor is dead! Now Hilo has succeeded to the throne, and even the chairman of the Magic Union and the Pope in the city have recognized the orthodox and legitimacy of his position as emperor!

Moreover, he was originally the emperor's younger brother, and he succeeded to the throne, which can be said to be a candidate who can be satisfied in all aspects!

The most important thing is that even if there is any inside story, the late emperor is already dead!

The ministers of the previous emperor turned into rootless duckweed. Even if they wanted to make something happen, they would not see hope!!

Could it be that I could bring these 30,000 guards in the royal city to challenge the new emperor Xilo?

Don't joke! Without the First Emperor, I am just a mediocre general, and these 30,000 troops will never follow me wholeheartedly.

That is a way to see hope!!

What disappointed Manstein the most was the reaction of the people in the Magic Academy.

After hearing the announcement in the city, Dean Hugo immediately ordered the magicians to stop all their actions, and then took their people away from the imperial capital and returned to the Magic Academy.

Before leaving, although Hugo left, he was helpless, but he also understood: Dean Carmen, the highest figure in the Magic Academy, is not in the imperial capital at this moment. When encountering such a big thing, firstly, the change of imperial power is not convenient for the Magic Academy to participate in it. Secondly, even if there is any insider in this matter, when encountering such a big thing, the attitude and reaction of the Magic Academy are not something that Dean Hugo can decide. After Dean Carmen comes back, such a big thing must be decided by that woman!

Manstein was annoyed, but he couldn't vent.

These magicians cannot provoke them, and they have no right to restrain them.

But...Director Hugo and these magicians can leave, but they can't!

Where should I go?!

If... if His Majesty was really killed... and had something to do with Prince Hilo who rushed to the throne...

Manstein felt cold in his heart! He knew very well that once he handed over the military power and handed over the army, then what was waiting for him would definitely be a "purgation"!

I'm afraid it's all...

However, resistance is impossible. The late emperor is dead and there is no hope. Even if he declares to the army that Hilo usurped the throne, the army will not follow him. Because he does not have that great prestige. Also, because the late emperor is dead, it is meaningless for the army to continue to resist, unless... it is really rebelling?

Don't even think about this kind of thing.

Manstein was confused and panicked, not knowing where to go.

However, Hugo, the fat dean of the Magic Academy branch, seems to be a bit kind.
To be continued...
