Chapter 144.1

June 12, 960, is the summer festival day.

Fine.

From a very early time, the public security office of the imperial capital had already sent out all the forces. However, to the surprise of commander Sark, the commander of the public security office of the imperial capital, there were already teams of imperial capital guards on the road before dawn this morning.

These guards were obviously mobilized from the four Acropolis around the imperial capital. Their armor was bright, and they were fully armed. Everyone looked like a great enemy. This situation surprised the commander of Sark. Although the increase of foreign population in the imperial capital in recent days led to some confusion in public security, it was an annual festival celebration after all, Doesn't it seem necessary to be so close to the enemy?

At a glance, commander Sark saw something wrong: these guards were not wearing the benefit clothes of the celebration day, but a combat readiness costume! All the infantry were wearing the new armor they had just changed this summer, with swords on their waists and shields in hand.

Standing in the street, the highest officer of the public security department frowned and watched a group of guards pass quickly. He was full of doubts and immediately returned to the office of the public security department. Then he called one of his subordinates and asked him to go to the military headquarters for instructions.

But soon, the bad news came back. Even the four groups of soldiers from the security office assigned by the commander of Sark in the early morning quickly sent a report, saying that the guards had stopped the soldiers from patrolling.

When Sark was angry, a guy dressed as a Guard officer came in from the Public Security Department of the imperial capital and looked at the badge on his chest. He is a knight of the fifth rank and a deputy commander.

"Commander Sark!" This guy, with a cold face, and two of his entourage, broke into the office of commander Sark, and then read out an order in a loud voice: "the special order of the headquarters: to maintain the public order of the imperial capital, the imperial city defense and public order, all the deployment should be under the control of the guards for the time being, and the Imperial Security Office should be under the control of the guards for the time being, All of a sudden, Wang jiasak felt a chill in his heart... Is something going to happen? All along, the guards were in charge of the defense of the besieged city, and the security office was in charge of the city. But the guards suddenly took the command of the headquarters and asked to take over all the power of the security office

Commander Sark knew in his heart that even if the official document of the headquarters was true, it was not related to legal procedures. It's also a big mistake! To take over the imperial capital in an all-round way, you must have your Majesty's personal order! But looking at the strange Guard officer in front of him, who was cold in his eyes, commander Sark noticed that his opponent's hand was on the hilt of his sword. If he dared to say no, I'm afraid that the opponent would do it immediately!

Sark is very clear about his strength. Although he has the title of a level 4 knight, his strength is not even level 3 in the world. It is only by relying on the influence of his family that he has mastered the high position of the public security department. He couldn't help looking out the door. In the heart secretly scolds under guard too dereliction of duty! I let these guys in at random! Although these guys have an emergency military order issued by the military, they should at least report it!

"OK..." Sark hesitated for a while, but he still didn't dare to refuse. He hesitated for a moment: "I don't know how the military needs our public security department to cooperate?"

"It's easy." The strange officer released his sword handle: "from now on, you are only responsible for the area near the Magic Union in the east of the city. The rest of the area will be handed over to our guards. And... "There was a grim smile on his face:" according to the military order of general Juncker, the public security of the imperial capital has been in chaos recently, in order to ensure the safety of the public security department. And to protect the security officers of the public security department, I took an infantry squadron to guard outside the public security department... "

Sark immediately became angry: "what! This is a blatant siege of the sheriff's department!! bold! I want to talk to that jerk Junker! "

"Sorry, it's a military order!" The strange officer sneered: "commander Sark, please cooperate!"

As soon as the words came out, several soldiers in the armor of the guards rushed in. The guards outside had already been beaten down. Sark was surprised and angry, and he broke up. But suddenly I saw that the compound of the public security department outside the door was full of guards!

The sheriff's officers and officers in the other offices. In the face of these fierce guards, in the face of these fully armed guys. Looking at each other's long sword, they all went back to the room.

"Are you going to rebel?" Sak sank into his chair.

"It's protection." "As long as you don't trouble yourself, I'll make sure you're safe," the officer said

Sark already regretted that he had sent out a large number of soldiers from the public security department this morning! Most of the soldiers of the public security department were sent by the Sark commander to patrol around the imperial capital early in the morning. In this way, the empty public security department was taken down by the other party, and there was no resistance at all.

"All right." Sark nodded his head. "You just said you would let my people patrol around the Magic Union, but now you're blocking all my people in the security department. How can I send out my orders?"

"It's easy." The officer took out some blank orders from his arms and put them in front of Sark: "just give them, and my men will send them to your men!"

Sark was stunned and looked at the blank orders in front of him. He reached out and picked up a quill pen beside the desk. His heart was agitated and he could not help shaking his wrist. A drop of thick ink dropped on the snow-white paper... Most people didn't know what happened in the morning. When the sun came out, there were pedestrians on the street, All of a sudden, we found that the soldiers of the public security department who used to patrol back and forth in the past were gone. Instead, they were full of armed and murderous guards. Each of these guards had a fierce face and a cold face. There was no joy of festival celebration. Instead, they seemed to be on the battlefield. Pedestrians on the road could not help but keep away from them. Then came the news: early in the morning, several gates of the imperial capital were closed, and the guards issued a notice that the gates were temporarily closed and no one was allowed to enter or leave. Some people questioned that the other side only said that the emperor would open the ancient magic circle today, so they closed the gate. At the same time, the 100 meter area around the gate is designated as a forbidden area, and no one is allowed to get close to it. Although these situations seem too strange, for ordinary people, they have never thought of the word "coup". After all, the mainland has been peaceful for hundreds of years, and the news that the magic circle will be opened on the festival day has long been circulating, so although everyone was surprised, it did not cause any panic or disturbance. Until the morning, about 3000 cavalry of the guards appeared outside the city. These cavalry quickly divided into several squadrons and surrounded several gates of the imperial capital. Duvet meditated for a night. Before that, he had filled the colorful stone ring with magic. After a night's meditation, duvet had regained all his magic. After getting up, he put on the most luxurious dress under the service of mad. Then the people of birchhoff sent someone to send duvet a pair of brand-new leather boots. When Dewey walked out of his small building, he had already noticed the tension in his family. The guards of the Rowling family were fully armed, and the warriors were wearing light armour with short military crossbows. All the 300 guards of the Rowling family got on their horses and waited at the door of the count's house. Duvet's father, count Raymond, came out with the captain alpha. The count was wearing a uniform of the military command. The stiff uniform was obviously carefully ironed, even the corner and collar were so angular. The count was wearing long riding boots. Alfa himself brought a black horse. The count put on a pair of white gloves. Then he looked at his son and said faintly, "come on, let's go to the central square of the imperial city. It's the busiest place today. There will be a ceremony at noon." It is unusual that the countess did not take her with him during such a festival. Instead, he left her at home on the pretext that she was unwell. Dewey followed his father on the horse. In this kind of public occasions, in order to highlight the martial tradition of the Rowling family, it is not necessary to take a carriage. Alfa arranged a fine white horse for Dewey. Dewey looked left and right, and suddenly said, "won't my brother go, too?"“ Gabriel... I left him at Mr. blue ocean's house. " The count said faintly, and then, as he was about to leave, he suddenly looked back at Dewey and said, "do you understand what I said to you two days ago?"“ It's very clear. " Du Wei's tone was also very flat, and then he asked: "father, are you sure?"“ Nothing in the world is completely sure, as long as 70% sure, it is already a big win The count seemed to smile.
