Chapter 4447 Descending upon the Imperial Palace (1)
Chapter 4447: Descending upon the Imperial Palace (1) Chapter 4447: Descending upon the Imperial Palace (1) The Royal capital of the DA Qi Kingdom, Wangjing, had a long history and had experienced Five Dynasties and 73 generations of emperors.
Such a situation was naturally related to the geographical environment. The wind and rain were smooth, and the mountains and rivers were beautiful. It was a famous land of fish and rice on the continent.
Thousands of li of fertile land had raised countless people and many great clans.
Wangjing Imperial City was even more spectacular. The streets were neat and wide, and there was an endless stream of carriages on the streets.
There were more than three million people living inside and outside the Imperial City, and merchants from all over the world came.
However, the atmosphere in the Imperial City had become tense recently.
The war was raging at the border, and countless people had lost their homes. The news had long reached the capital.
No monarch would tolerate the invasion of territory and would immediately launch a defensive counterattack.
In the beginning, the Emperor of Da Qi had indeed given the order to annihilate all the enemies who came to invade.
However, not long after, bad news kept coming. The border troops kept losing, and the invading enemies were aggressive.
Da Qi’s border Army requested for reinforcements and hoped to allocate enough military expenses. Otherwise, it would inevitably lead to the collapse of the Army’s morale.
Normally, when a war started, it would cost a huge amount of money, so it was natural for the border Army to need military funds.
In the end, he did not expect that the Emperor of Da Qi would not approve it for a long time. It was obvious that he did not want to fork out this sum of money.
When this matter spread, it immediately caused an uproar.
The Emperor of Da Qi was miserly and greedy, and he used all sorts of excuses to plunder the wealth of the people. This was a well-known thing.
Auctioning off minerals from the mountains and rivers and selling all kinds of positions to make money were all good things done by this Emperor.
It was said that in private, there were some illegal businesses that were controlled by this monarch.
People said that the Emperor of Da Qi was actually the reincarnation of a strange beast. He was greedy for money and only ate without pooping.
Asking him to pay for the military expenses to defend against foreign enemies was no different from cutting off his own flesh and taking his life.
It was only natural that the funds had not been allocated.
There was even news that the Emperor of Da Qi was planning to gather all the great clans to raise funds to fight against the invasion of foreign enemies.
He expressed that once the territory was damaged, the enemy would March straight in, and the first to suffer losses would be the major families.
In order to protect their wealth, the big families had to pay.
It also stated that if they won the war and occupied the enemy’s land, the person who paid would enjoy the war dividends.
When this news spread out, there was another uproar and it caused a lot of private discussions.
With the enemy in front of him, it was ridiculous for the ruler of a country to surpass him like this.
Perhaps he was worried that something would happen and that someone would endanger his own safety, so the Emperor of Da Qi sent out his own Imperial Guards.
It was the only Army that he was willing to pay and arm at all costs, just to protect himself at a critical moment.
The appearance of these guards caused the voices of discussion to temporarily cease, but the private discussions and fear did not stop.
People were worried. If the enemy really broke through the border and killed their way to the Imperial City, what would they do?
Some families had already begun to make preparations in private in case they were caught off guard when the crisis came.
While the people were worried, an unexpected change happened.
On this day, a huge object suddenly appeared in the sky above the Imperial City of Da Qi.
It looked like a metal boat, but it could dissolve in the air, and its entire body flickered with a silver-white luster.
The millions of people in the Imperial City saw this strange flying device and couldn’t help but exclaim in shock.
The Imperial Guards immediately rang the alarm bell, and many master archers began to fire.
However, other than the first rated Warriors who could shoot their arrows high enough, the other archers were powerless.
Even if the arrow could touch it, it still couldn’t cause any damage. The arrow was blocked by a layer of white light and fell.
Seeing this strange ship heading straight for the palace, the Imperial Guards were even more panicked.
The alarm was sounded again, and it was nine times in a row. This was the most urgent war signal.
On the city wall outside the Royal Palace, the crossbows were nocked and aimed at the huge airships in the sky.
The high-level Warriors raised by the royal family were also equipped with armors and weapons, making the final preparations for the battle.
Everyone in the Imperial Palace is to immediately hide in the nearby rooms. Kill anyone who moves around without mercy.
The Imperial Guards entered the inner palace and occupied the main positions, guarding all the doors tightly.
Such a situation had never happened before, which was enough to prove how critical the situation was.
The moment the airships approached, the mounted crossbows fired one after another. The sharp long Spears that were carefully crafted were shot into the sky.
Its height and range could barely touch the airships, but it was still easily blocked.
don’t hesitate, continue firing!
The officer in charge of commanding had fear and despair in his eyes as he shouted with all his might.
However, in the next moment, the airship spewed out flames, and the ballistae on the city wall were instantly turned into pieces.
The manipulator next to him was also torn apart by the bullets, and broken limbs flew everywhere.
In the blink of an eye, this line of defense was completely destroyed, leaving the officers in the distance dumbfounded.
“What kind of monster is this?”
An Imperial Army General shouted, but no one could answer. They were all shocked by the scene in front of them, despair and fear filling their hearts.
He had never seen such a fierce and terrifying enemy. He had not even fought with him and he was already afraid.
The tens of thousands of Imperial Army soldiers were like a group of silly dogs, looking up at the giant bird in the sky. Other than jumping and roaring, they had no other choice.
As the airship flew over the palace walls and headed deep into the palace, the Imperial Army on the ground roared and chased after it.
However, such an approach could only increase the tension in the atmosphere, but it could not alleviate the crisis at all.
quick, inform the celestial master temple that the Imperial Palace is under attack!
The general of the guards Army seemed to have found a life-saving straw and quickly shouted to his officers.
“I’ve already sent people to ask for help, but there hasn’t been any response.
Besides, the Imperial Palace and the Taoist master’s mansion are only separated by a wall. If there is an accident, they should be the first to notice the Suan ni.”
The officer immediately shut his mouth. Some words could not be said too clearly.
Even if he had doubts in his heart, he definitely couldn’t speak carelessly, or else he would invite a fatal disaster.
The commander’s face was gloomy. He turned to look behind him and finally gritted his teeth. take some men to the harem and protect His Majesty as he enters the secret passage. He is not allowed to come out before the crisis is resolved.
The officer nodded and was about to leave.
Unexpectedly, the airship in the sky suddenly accelerated and stopped above the harem in an instant.
The sudden change shocked all the Imperial Army soldiers. They roared to protect the Emperor as they charged toward the back Palace.
However, in the next moment, many mysterious figures floated out of the huge airships.
When someone tried to attack, they would point their finger, and what followed was a series of shrill screams.
The Imperial Army, who were well-equipped and well-trained and regarded as the confidants of the Emperor of Da Qi, were slaughtered like chickens and ducks, without even the slightest ability to resist.
“Immortal master!”
The Grand Marshal of the Imperial Army was dumbfounded. He finally understood why the celestial master temple had not sent any reinforcements.
This was because the enemy was also a powerful cultivator. The immortal Masters of the celestial master temple were no match for them.
Even the celestial master’s residence was no match for them, so what could the mortal Imperial Guards do at this moment?
Other than using their lives to buy some time, it seemed to be of no use.
Perhaps, they could only pray that a miracle would happen.
The commander closed his eyes and then opened them again. His eyes were filled with determination.
The incapable ruler in the eyes of outsiders was a wise ruler in the eyes of the Imperial Army, who had given them ample treatment.
Soldiers were trained for a thousand days, but they were used for a moment. Now was the best time to repay the emperor’s grace.
Just as he was about to give the order to rush into the harem to protect the Emperor with his life, a voice suddenly spread through the entire Imperial City.
“The Emperor of Da Qi is fatuous and tyrannical, bringing disaster to the common people.
Today, I will punish him on behalf of the heavens and bring justice to the people.
Anyone who has encountered injustice in the country can report it, and the Lord of the city will definitely uphold justice.”
Accompanied by a thunderous sound, another shocking scene appeared. A cage was hung under the airship, and the Emperor of the Daqi Kingdom was imprisoned in it.
