Alien Empire Total War

"The tyrant ordered his army to slaughter hundreds of unarmed civilians in Bedos Town. It's hard for me to imagine what atrocious crimes they would commit after they arrived in Ankerton."

In the eastern district of Ankerton, the stronghold of the Santos Party, the leader of the party, Ax Santos, spoke with a solemn expression to the core members of the party.

"We must be ready for armed struggle. Viscount Knox, a newly promoted nobleman, sent someone to tell me that they are ready to launch a coup d'etat. Some officers in the second brigade who came here are their people. As soon as the Second Brigade reaches the city of Ankerton, they will mutiny and march on the Sona Palace."

"Although the newly promoted nobles are our allies at present, we have to keep in mind that their purpose is to replace another king and continue to maintain the decaying monarchy. After King Loren is overthrown, we will also work with the newly promoted nobles. fight."

"Moreover, the hundreds of thousands of troops deployed in the western and northern battlefields are also a very difficult enemy, and the nobles who lead the army will not watch the overthrow of King Loren."

After finishing speaking, Santos' expression seemed a little heavy. There were indeed too many enemies. Both the new nobles and the old nobles were their enemies, even if the former were temporarily their allies.

But he was not afraid, because in addition to the workers and the poor in the Ankerton region, in the vast rural areas of the southern part of the kingdom, members of the Santos Party also instigated many peasants who were unwilling to continue to endure the oppression to join in secret, as long as Luo King Lun's rule is overthrown, and the uprising in the south will spread as quickly as a prairie fire.

He thought like this, and at this moment, a person at the round table said: "Aix, we must prepare in advance. At present, there are only 300 workers equipped with new-style rifles in the city's armed forces that can actually fight. With the commandos and more than 500 armed citizens armed with outdated muskets, I think we should raid the Royal Capital Barracks in the Western District as soon as possible on the day of the operation and seize the weapons and equipment inside the barracks.”

"You're right, Loic, the purpose of my meeting today is to formulate a plan for action in four days," Santos said.

"Four days later?" the others asked in surprise.

"Yes, the newly promoted nobles will stage a coup at noon on the second day after the arrival of the Second Brigade in Ankerton City. Viscount Knox asked us to cooperate with their plan and gather the citizens to demonstrate in front of the Sona Palace. The Second Brigade The army will be sent there to protect the palace..."

"At that time, the Second Brigade will take advantage of the situation to request to enter the Sona Palace. Once the guards open the palace gate, we can storm in and force King Loren to abdicate."

Viscount Edgar Knox lifted his gaze from the map of the capital and looked at Curender Valente, the son of the distinguished Duke of Ireland, and said respectfully.

"Master Curender, this is our plan. The leader of the Santos Party also agreed to this plan. Do you think there is anything else that needs to be improved?"

"I have a question." Curender cast his eyes on Knox lightly. "The goals of the Santos party are completely opposite to ours. Are you not afraid that they will cause trouble?"

"You don't need to worry, Master Curender." Knox replied confidently: "I have investigated, and the Santos party's armed forces are only those armed citizens with outdated firearms, even if they want to attack us, The elite kingdom army can crush them with ease."

After he finished speaking, he hesitated and asked back: "Master Curender, instead of worrying about the Santos party, let's focus on the second brigade that is coming this way. You can guarantee the command of the second brigade. Will the officer obey our orders?"

Hearing this, Kelund seemed to be insulted. He snorted coldly and said in a dissatisfied tone: "Knox, are you questioning Duke Ailan's influence? You don't need to worry about this at all, even if the first Brigadier General Berlan of the Second Brigade is unwilling to cooperate, and his officers will let him cooperate obediently."

Seeing that Curender was angry, Knox quickly lowered his posture and said.

"Forgive my doubts, Mr. Curender, I just want to ensure that this coup d'etat can go smoothly."

The Duke's son's expression softened a lot, he did not pursue the investigation any further, and instead said: "When the Second Brigade arrives in Ankerton in three days, I will take you to meet their commander, and then you will tell them the plan. Viscount Knox, as long as my father is crowned king, all of you new nobles will be used." He promised again.

"It is my greatest honor, Edgar Knox, to be loyal to the Duke!"

"It's better." After Kronde finished speaking, he turned and walked out of the room. Gould, who had been behind him, followed the trend. After they left, the smile on Viscount Knox's face gradually disappeared. Sitting in the chair, I don't know what to think.

On the other side, Gould, who walked out of the room after Curender, quickly followed, UU reading www. After uukanshu.com left the spire, he calmly glanced at the window on the second floor, which was covered by curtains, and whispered to Curender.

"Master, Knox has always been cunning. I think we should take precautions against him."

"Don't worry about him." Curender said disapprovingly. "He won't be able to jump for a few days. After my father is crowned king, his death is coming."

"Has the Duke already decided to attack him?" Gould asked in surprise.

"That's not what you should ask, Gould." Curender glanced at him, then at the workers who were dragging sandbags and barricades not far away, then stepped on the stepping chair prepared by the groom and got into the carriage.

…

During this period of time, the entire city of Ankerton was shrouded in a heavy and depressing atmosphere, and the workers were still on strike. In order to prevent the situation from escalating, the Royal Capital garrison blocked most of the streets in and out of the eastern district, preventing ordinary people from entering and leaving.

The economic downturn and lack of food caused the citizens to complain, and immediately after the workers began to take to the streets to petition the king, but King Loren, who was a little ptsd by the Beddos riots, not only ignored their petition, but ordered the garrison to drive the parade away. Citizens began to impose martial law on a large scale throughout the city.

In this situation, even the blind can see that a turmoil is about to break out in this ancient capital, and some wealthy and aristocratic people who cherished their lives packed up their belongings in advance, fled the city before things got worse, and went to A safer South in their eyes.

More nobles asked King Loren to resolve the turmoil in Ankerton as soon as possible. For this reason, they did not hesitate to transfer more troops from the front line, but King Loren refused. He insisted that the second brigade would be enough The situation in the city is under control.
