Alien Empire Total War

Chapter 192: the king is caught

"Damn, fight them off, for the king!"

At the staircase on the second floor of the Ekar City Hall, the rebels supported by the Fifth Division successfully repelled the Guards, forcing the Hildi Guards who lost the battle to retreat upstairs, occupying the stairway and looking down. The rebels who tried to charge up shot.

In addition to shooting, they also took out all kinds of furniture in the room on the second floor, blocked the two staircases leading to the second floor, or overturned the desk and used it as a cover, relying on the furniture to shoot each other with the enemy.

In this narrow space of less than ten meters, the metal projectiles shot by both sides can easily penetrate the wooden planks. How can the furniture play a protective role? The soldiers of the Praetorian Guards also know this. The protection of the furniture can only give them a little bit of protection. Psychological comfort, talk for comfort.

The choking gun smoke produced by the two sides shooting at each other quickly spread in the not-so-wide stairwell. The soldiers shot forward by feeling while coughing. The sound of the traditional wooden planks and the screams of people mixed together indoors.

"If only we had grenades, those **** rebels couldn't be so arrogant!"

A Praetorian Guard veteran who was hiding behind the overturned desk scolded angrily. He quickly pulled out the clear rod inserted into the barrel, put it back in place, and turned around to aim downstairs, where he could not see clearly. When he fired, just the second he shot the projectile, a black fist-sized thing suddenly flew from the smoke in front of him, hitting his forehead heavily, knocking the defenseless veteran to the ground.

It wasn't just the object that just hit the veteran's forehead passing through the gunpowder. When the soldiers of the Imperial Army stood around, they were so shocked that their hearts were split in shock—these were clearly still smoking grenades. !

"No, grenade!"

The quick-responding soldiers shouted loudly, and then turned around to flee here, but before they could run a few steps, a deafening explosion sounded from behind them, and a burst of impact came from behind, as if it was invisible in the air. Pushing hands generally overturned him to the ground, and the shrapnel generated by the simultaneous explosion of several grenades also splashed around, knocking down the soldiers of the Imperial Army who did not have time to escape!

"dash forward!"

After the explosion, there were cheers from the rebel soldiers downstairs. The officers and soldiers of the Sixth Division who participated in the attack climbed up the stairs with rifles under the leadership of the officers. Together, they demolished and removed the obstacles that were blocking them, and then faced each other. The enemies on the second floor are killing them.

The two sides fell into a fierce battle again, and the king's family and the cabinet ministers on the roof finally heard the sound of gunfire in the distance. At first they thought it was a mistake, but they were quickly surprised. It was found that those voices were indeed coming from a distance, and they were still in the direction outside the city!

Reinforcements are here!

They thought ecstatically, but the sound of gunfire outside the city did not last long, and soon subsided again. Their mood was like riding a roller coaster, flying up and down the clouds for a while, and then again and again. Quickly fell into the abyss.

The so-called misfortunes do not come singly, and soon they got the second bad news - after a fierce battle, the Guard soldiers deployed to resist on the second floor were finally defeated, and the rebels continued to advance upstairs along the stairs with the might of victory.

Hearing the noise that was getting closer and closer, the shivering king who was hiding in the room finally calmed down. He knew that he could not escape tonight, so he ordered his servants to put on a new set of gorgeous robes for him, even if it was Being a captive, he also has to maintain the dignity of the king.

The ministers watched the king's movements in silence, and Prime Minister Barron, headed by him, sat depressed in a chair covered with velvet cushions, his face ashen, waiting for the rebels to come in, and an emotion called despair permeated each of them. His heart was heavy and depressed in the room.

As they waited, the battle quickly advanced to their highest level. The fewer and fewer Praetorian soldiers knew that the situation was over, but they were still stubbornly resisting. Just as the two sides were fighting hand to hand, they were tightly closed behind them. The door of his room was suddenly opened, and the luxuriously dressed old king strode out, shouting:

"Stop it all and stop hitting me!"

The voice of the old king reached the ears of every soldier of the Praetorian Guards, and their loyalty to the king made them obediently stop fighting, retreating, and watching the enemy vigilantly, but then they heard the old king continue: Drop your weapons and we surrender."

"what?"

The soldiers looked at their monarch in amazement. Although the latter's eyes were cloudy, they could still see a firm look. The soldiers looked at each other a few times, sighed, put down their weapons, and let the rushing enemy destroy them. Disarm prisoners.

The soldiers did not forget what their purpose was. Instead of roughing up the king, they rushed past the king and rushed into the room he had just come out of, arresting all the officials inside.

At the same time, the leading officer walked up to the king, gave a respectful military salute, and said, "Your Majesty, I am Lieutenant Colonel Pierik Pasha of the 10th Infantry Regiment of the 6th Division of the Third Army, please don't worry. , this is not a rebellion, we will not shoot at our monarch."

The old king was noncommittal. He asked blankly, "Apart from your sixth division, which other troops participated in this mutiny?"

"You will know when you see our general." The lieutenant colonel did not answer him directly, he then made an invitation, "Your Majesty, please come with us, please don't make it difficult for us."

"Let's lead the way~www.readwn.com~ The old king nodded and took the lead to step forward. Watching his movements, the lieutenant colonel breathed a sigh of relief and followed up with a few soldiers.

It didn't take long for the old king to appear in front of Cipri and Mires. After he saw these two generals, his expressionless face suddenly showed a faint smile, Mires looked at him. The smile on his face only felt a little ashamed, that was his monarch, the king he swore allegiance to!

"Sipri, Miris, besides you, who else participated in the mutiny against me?" Upon meeting, the old king's first sentence made Miris speechless, and he subconsciously retreated. A few steps, trying to hide behind Shipley.

Shipley didn't seem to be affected, he replied without humility: "Your Majesty, I must correct you, this is not to oppose you, but to prevent more young people from being sent to the battlefield and dying in the enemy's head. under the gun."

His answer made the old king slightly startled, but then, he saw the king showing a look of disdain and said, "It's all an excuse, Cipri, you can send me to the military camp of the Lumen people in exchange for your wealth. !"
