Endless Silver Machine

The riot lasted only twenty minutes and was suppressed by the time the Royal Army arrived on the scene.

Seven of the kingdom's soldiers were killed and fourteen wounded in the defense. Considering the riot caused by nearly five hundred people, it was very lucky that the number of casualties was limited to this number.

If the Knights of the Blue Rose had not participated in the battle, the escort consisting of fifty kingdom soldiers might even have been wiped out.

The Knights of Blue Rose obeyed Lan Ming's request and did not kill any thugs. Even if the defense is excessive, the opponent will only break one or two bones.

When the flag of the Kingdom's army was raised, the thugs who had lost their will to fight could only choose to surrender.

The searchlights of the Royal Army illuminated the messy battlefield, and now all the thugs were gathered together, waiting for the army to fall.

Lan Ming continued to support the Blue Rose Knights until the end. The "Candle Dragon Molten Gold" and the honeycomb-shaped magic barrier had consumed nearly all of her magic power in twenty minutes.

If the fight continued for another ten minutes, she would have fallen unconscious.

Fortunately, no thugs or magicians infiltrated the Congress Hotel during this period. The four Templars guarding the Congress Hotel immediately cut off all functions except lighting.

Moreover, once the ability of "Candle Dragon Molten Gold" disappears unnaturally during battle, the Knights of the Blue Rose will immediately switch targets.

What's more, magic is like a child's toy in front of Lan Ming. Charlotte also summoned the magic costume of the "Ai Zein" family and conscientiously stayed close to the two royal families.

Even if the enemy breaks through many obstacles and appears in front of them, there is no way to start.

The golden "Iela" family coat of arms quietly disappeared after the arrival of the kingdom's army. After all, the appearance of the royal coat of arms of the Bisi Empire in the sky of the Tebiri Kingdom was enough to attract the attention of both countries.

After the kingdom's army accepted the control of this area, the emperor and Lan Ming, accompanied by Charlotte, left the Congress Hotel, and the Knights of the Blue Rose were reintegrated.

The middle-aged man who looked like the commander of the kingdom's army saluted the two men.

"This incident was caused by our negligence. His Majesty the King will be here soon."

The commander conveyed this information to the two royal families in a businesslike tone, and the emperor simply nodded, signaling for the kingdom's troops to continue their work.

The emperor and princess of the Bes Empire were attacked in other countries. The nature of this accident was so bad that it has developed into an international problem that mere military commanders cannot intervene in.

"Lan Ming, until the Kingdom of Tebiri issues an official statement, take our people to avoid the public eye."

"I understand. I will remain silent while you negotiate with the king."

The coat of arms of the "Iela" family has disclosed to the public the information that the royal family of the Bis Empire was at the scene of the incident, and countless media workers are rushing here.

Lan Ming's use of royal magic in the Tebiri Kingdom is bound to be the most high-profile news, and the kingdom's government must clarify her actions to the public.

The emperor has his own discretion on how to minimize the impact of this riot on relations between countries. Lan Ming has no experience in making decisions on international issues.

Next, it’s a battle between politicians.

Lan Ming has stopped using the ability of "Candle Dragon Molten Gold". With her magic power almost exhausted, she can hardly act as usual in front of her subordinates.

So she didn't notice the magic trail shooting from the building a kilometer away from the Congress Hotel.

When the emperor's magic barrier surrounded Lan Ming and his body blocked Lan Ming's sight, it was already too late.

The dagger flashed under the light of the surrounding searchlights and passed through the emperor's chest, flying straight towards Lan Ming without losing momentum.

The emperor's magic barrier exerted its final value. The dagger only penetrated the magic barrier for a few millimeters before turning into a thick dark green mist.

Lan Ming instinctively realized that this thick fog was very dangerous, and she quickly held her breath.

The barrier magicians in the Knights of the Blue Rose immediately constructed a barrier to protect the personnel of the Bis Empire, and the potion magicians instantly unraveled the true form of the thick fog and neutralized the toxins.

The Royal Army also responded to the emergency, but it could not change the facts that had happened.

"Father!"

Lan Ming's eyes clearly reflected that the emperor's heart was pierced by the dagger shot from the dark, and the bright red blood pooled under the emperor's unyielding body.

The emperor passed down the "Candle Dragon Molten Gold" to his two daughters. Now he is just a great politician and magician, and just a human being.

The injury that tore the heart was beyond repair for humans, and Lan Ming's heart-wrenching shouts could no longer reach his ears.

…………

One kilometer away from the Congress Hotel, which has become the focus of attention between the two countries, stands a commercial building with colorful neon lights and advertising screens flashing alternately.

Now, Will and Misty are on the rooftop of this commercial building. Misty's dark night dress blended perfectly into the night, but Will's white trench coat fluttering in the wind looked out of place.

When they arrived here, other members of the Nemesis Society had already completed their preparations. They only needed to activate the large-scale transfer magic circle set up in the city.

Based on the information fed back by the thrown magic equipment, Weir knew that he had made a mistake.

The Blue Rose Knights have begun to be vigilant, and the success rate of another sneak attack is almost zero.

"Tsk, that dead old man..."

The target of the Nemesis Society is Lan Ming. She is the spiritual leader of the conservatives in the Senate, so both the radicals in the Senate and the Nemesis Society must let her die here.

The emperor would notice and stand up to protect her, which was an accident within an accident. They had planned to use the emperor to eliminate some nobles who were difficult to deal with one by one, so they were not prepared to attack the emperor.

"Did you fail..."

"The emperor is dead, but the third princess is still alive."

"Then it's a success, right..."

Misty looked like it had nothing to do with her and sat on the edge of the rooftop dozens of floors up, dangling her legs in boredom.

The evening wind blowing from such a high rooftop carried a biting chill, and her petite body seemed to be blown away from the edge of the rooftop at any time.

Weir didn't know what was going to happen next. However, the script has been written and the actors need to be changed.

Misty looked at the Tebiri Kingdom at night, and countless light sources were gathering towards the Congress Hotel.

"Maybe... it will become lively..."

She murmured, and then her words were carried by the evening wind that brushed her cheeks into the void as dark as thick ink.

…………

The emperor's death was reported back to the Fourth Branch of the Imperial Intelligence Agency through intelligence agents within ten minutes of the incident, and the Fourth Branch immediately blocked the information.

In less than ten minutes after this intelligence was sent out, the Imperial Army took over the Imperial Intelligence Agency, and the speed was staggering.

Aemilius then brought his men to the Imperial Intelligence Agency and lifted intelligence controls.

The news of the death of the Emperor of the Bis Empire in the Kingdom of Tebiri spread throughout the country through various channels in an instant.

Half an hour after the incident, the Senate held a press conference headed by Aemilius.

"...The third princess has repeatedly expressed her intention to establish diplomatic relations with the Kingdom of Tebiri in the parliament, and used the generous benefits to deceive some members of the Senate and many nobles. Today, on the pretext of inspection, she used the direct knights to kidnap the emperor and go there secretly In the Tebiri Kingdom, it is suspected that the emperor was faked and killed in an attempt to usurp the throne..."

Junius and other conservative members are not included in this. This press conference has turned into an "outrageous" speech by the radicals, who used trumped-up charges to accuse Her Royal Highness the Third Princess.

The senators and nobles who once signed documents related to the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Tebiri Kingdom have all been controlled by the imperial army.

"...Lan Ming Yiela is still fleeing abroad. The imperial army and the Imperial Knights will use all their strength to capture him."

This ended the press conference held at 9pm.

In an instant, the whole country was in turmoil.
