Chapter 991, a Situation that only Fang Yuan Can Control!
Alchemists Guild.
"Sir Crow."
"The president invites you!"
The alchemist wearing a three-ring alchemist robe said respectfully.
"knew."
Crow stood up and left the lab.
Wearing the ten-ring robe symbolizing the chief alchemist.
In this era, the strength of an alchemist is divided from one to ten levels.
Each ring represents the number of controllable puppets and the controllable strength of the puppets.
Crowe as chief.
Naturally, it’s ten rings.
He is also a senior member of the Alchemist Association.
He quickly appeared in the secret room of the president of the Alchemist Association.
"You're here!"
The tall president of the Alchemy Association looked a little tired at this time.
Seeing Crowe, he slowly turned around.
"News just came from the Ninth Prince."
"The third prince was assassinated, so we need to take action early today."
"Inside the alchemist, I supported you with my own hands."
"I am ready to take refuge with the Ninth Prince, what is your choice?"
Alchemists pay attention to inheritance.
Crow's inheritance comes from the president of the Alchemy Association.
The two of them are prosperous and prosperous, and suffer both losses.
Hear the words of his mentor.
Crowe looked solemn.
"My choice is the same as yours."
The president of the Alchemist Association nodded.
"You are my most outstanding student."
"My inheritance depends on you. Don't worry, I won't let you be cannon fodder."
"The Ninth Prince is summoning the Iron Guard to prepare to control the Imperial Guard."
"There will be no peace in the inner city tonight."
"You go back and rest first."
"When things are clearer tomorrow, I will take you to see the Ninth Prince."
"Yes, teacher!"
Crowe bowed and left.
The president of the Alchemy Association did not realize at all that his good apprentice had already been controlled by others.
Shortly after Crowe left.
The president of the Alchemy Association appeared at the Ninth Prince's residence.
Also brought an alchemical poison.
"Your Majesty the Prince."
"After taking the alchemy potion, you will die if you don't have an antidote within three days."
"No one can refine the antidote except me."
The Ninth Prince took a large bottle of pills and said to the people around him.
"Tell the leader of the Iron Guard to assemble."
"Yes, Your Majesty the Prince."
Just inside the Castle of Thorns, the Ninth Prince began to mobilize his troops.
now.
Crowe, who was supposed to go home, appeared in front of Fang Yuan.
"I've met your lord."
Crow, who was robbed and controlled by the royal power, was the deepest three-faced spy in the royal capital.
He is also the chief alchemist of the royal family.
Belongs to the faction of the Ninth Prince.
Another partner of Rainbow Duke.
Of course, the ultimate identity is still a puppet controlled by Guderian.
And Fang Yuan's support in the royal capital was Crow.
Use him as a fulcrum.
Stirring up the situation in the entire royal capital.
"I will delay the chaos in the royal capital for half a month."
"During this time, I don't want anyone to become the king, and I don't want a violent war to break out in the capital."
"All forces must compete for the king within the scope of my control."
"What suggestions do you have to create this situation?"
The situation that Fang Yuan wanted.
Even if the king wakes up, it is unlikely to be possible.
Because now each prince no longer represents himself.
Rather, it is an entire interest group.
The prince can die.
But the interest groups behind him will not disappear.
Their interest demands are also there.
I want them to listen to what I say and fight without breaking up.
Even the king couldn't do it.
To do it by force is a rebellion.
Although Crowe is one of the royal chief alchemists.
But Fang Yuan's request was still too high for him.
Fortunately, some of the special information he has is far more detailed and timely than Heidi's.
After hearing Fang Yuan's words.
Crowe thought about the news that the president of the Alchemy Association had just told him.
After pondering for a moment, he said.
"Your Mightiness."
"When I get here."
"The Ninth Prince has ordered the Iron Guard to take action in advance to control the Imperial Guard."
"If he succeeds, then the situation in the capital will be decided."
"We have to disrupt his plans first."
"As long as the nobles within the Guards are not purged."
"Then even if the Ninth Prince controls the Iron Guard, he can only control the Throne of Thorns."
"Nothing can be done about the inner city."
"If the inner city cannot be controlled, he will have no way to force the honorary nobles."
"Without the support of the rules of honor, it is absolutely impossible to become a king just relying on the power in the Throne of Thorns Castle."
The information Crowe told was too timely for Fang Yuan.
It was explained in the information provided by Heidi before.
The Praetorian Guard was mainly formed by the second sons of various nobles.
Unless the Iron Guard takes action, no force can completely control the Imperial Guard.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for the Imperial Guard to take orders from any force.
After the old king became seriously ill.
Various nobles took advantage of the second son's identity to recruit a group of imperial guards.
Everyone has a share in the current Imperial Guard.
I am in you, you are in me.
Who wants to not be able to completely control the Praetorian Guards?
Based on information provided by Crowe.
All he had to do was destroy the Ninth Prince's plan to control the Imperial Guards.
"Your Mightiness."
"Spread the news that the Ninth Prince has the full support of the Iron Guard."
"Then the nobles will be alert."
"The Ninth Prince will not be able to control the Imperial Guard tonight."
"Lost tonight's prime time."
"Wait until the next day for the various forces under the Third Prince to react."
"Don't say half a month."
"Even if we give it another month, it is unlikely that the Ninth Prince will win."
Crowe's suggestion was the same as what Fang Yuan thought.
But Fang Yuan thought more comprehensively.
"not enough."
"The Ninth Prince will be considered a failure tonight."
"With the iron guard in hand, he will definitely think of other ways."
"The king is in his hand."
"This is the Ninth Prince's greatest advantage."
"Besides, I don't want to mess up."
"But there are still people from the evil god camp in the city, and they are happy to see the various forces in the city attack each other."
"So this time, the Ninth Prince will suppress him."
"Other forces must also suppress it."
"In the royal city, we need a prince who is weaker than the third prince but can compete with the ninth prince to stabilize the situation."
Fang Yuan already has the candidate to take on this role.
"Heidi."
"exist!"
"Mobilize your manpower and spread the news that the Ninth Prince has the support of the Iron Guard commander and is preparing to attack the Imperial Guard tonight."
"At the same time, you need to pay close attention to the situation of the Praetorian Guards."
"If the situation gets out of hand, we have to prepare a second plan."
"As commanded."
Fang Yuan then looked at Crowe.
"Sixth Prince, you should know him."
"I know you, Your Excellency."
"The sixth prince is wise, but his methods are very powerful."
"Rising from humble beginnings, if he can become king, the strength of the Alpha Kingdom will surely reach a higher level."
Fang Yuan shook his head.
"That's not what I want."
"Is there someone from the Third Prince's faction among the Royal Alchemists?"
"have!"
"You think of a way to get them to seek refuge with the Sixth Prince immediately."
“And be above board.”
"This~"
"Your Excellency, why do you do this?"
Fang Yuan smiled faintly.
"Build momentum!"
"The sixth prince wants to hide in the dark and be a fisherman."
"If we hadn't come before, he might have been the winner."
"But since we are here, we will not tolerate him doing this."
"The alchemist took refuge and blatantly joined him to seek refuge."
"This is to force him to stand out."
"If he doesn't step forward, the sixth prince will miss the opportunity to conquer the third prince's power."
"If he steps forward, he will be standing opposite the Ninth Prince."
"Replacing the third prince's position."
"Be the one who helps us stabilize the situation in the Royal Capital."
"And we only need to control the intensity of the fight between the two sides behind the scenes to calmly control the situation."
Fang Yuan's plan completely hides himself in the dark.
In short, whoever he wants can be in power.
But that's all he can do.
If you change the force, if you don't have this strength, you will only get burned.
He was targeted by the forces of the Third Prince and the Ninth Prince, and died suddenly on the spot.
There is another reason why Fang Yuan did this.
That is to find out the power of the Evil God Legion.
Now I am with the forces of the evil god.
It's like playing Werewolf.
They are all hiding their identities.
Whoever is exposed first will die first.
After Crowe understood Fang Yuan's plan.
He said immediately.
"I understand."
"Let's make arrangements now."
The night is as cold as water.
Fang Yuan stood at the railing and looked at the royal capital.
The outer city and the inner city are brightly lit.
Only the Castle of Thorns was dark.
Like a beast lurking in the darkness.
"Christian."
"What do you think the Holy Son of the Evil God camp will do at this time?"
After hearing the inquiry, Christian thought for a moment and said.
"It must be an opportunity to disrupt the situation."
"It's just that we don't know yet which prince they support."
"The sons of the evil god's camp are lurking deep in the capital this time."
Fang Yuan nodded.
"The death of the beast god made them alert."
"But it doesn't matter."
"As long as they are in the royal capital and have activities, they will inevitably reveal clues."
"Once exposed."
"Christian."
"Your Holy Light Knight is about to take action."
Christian patted his chest.
"Don't worry."
"We will never let them escape."
And just then.
Suddenly, a huge noise came from the inner city of the royal capital.
"The Praetorian Guards have three days off and one day off."
"At this time of turmoil in the royal capital."
"Some of the officers on guard duty will be lazy and leave."
"With this noisy sound, I'm afraid the guards have received the news and started heading towards the military camp."
"Your Excellency."
"I'm afraid the royal capital won't be peaceful tonight."
Fang Yuan stretched his waist.
"They're not at peace so we can have a good night's sleep."
"Have a rest."
"There will probably be another big show tomorrow."
"yes!"
In the inner city of the royal capital.
There were not many Praetorian Guards stationed there.
There are only six thousand people on duty in total.
The walls of the inner city are divided into three camps for the Imperial Guard.
Two thousand people were stationed respectively.
In addition to guarding the city walls, these guards are also responsible for patrolling the inner city and protecting the city gates.
Once night falls.
The area around the city wall will be controlled.
No one is allowed to come near.
But peace lasts for a long time.
Scattered mobile commercial sites have already appeared in the camp near the Guards.
But today.
There was a solemn atmosphere outside the Guards camp.
This atmosphere spread from the camp.
At this moment, inside the Guards camp.
An infighting seemed imminent.
"The loyalty of the Praetorian Guards is to the King."
"When will the Ninth Prince be qualified enough to order us?"
"Yes, my chief officer is not here, but you, a little captain, actually gave me orders."
"Hmph, I am a noble with a title. You, the second son of a family, really think that by becoming a member of the Imperial Guard, you can climb over us."
The Imperial Guards, armed with the orders of the Ninth Prince, are trying to take over this place.
But obviously.
The imperial guards stationed here did not pay attention to each other.
"snort."
"Since you don't obey the Ninth Prince's order."
"Then the only option is to die."
"Get 'em!"
"Let's see who dares!"
Seeing that a fight is about to occur.
Sudden!
There was a commotion outside the Praetorian Guard camp.
Immediately afterwards, a large group of cavalry appeared and poured into the camp.
The leader was a Duke's second son named Taylor.
He is also the highest officer of the Imperial Guard.
"Kill!"
As soon as he entered the camp, he saw the envoy of the Ninth Prince with his sword drawn.
Taylor waved his hand.
The cavalry behind them swarmed forward.
The messenger was chopped into meat paste.
Taylor stepped forward.
A token was taken out from the messenger's body.
"Look, what is this?"
The imperial guards around him came forward, and their expressions suddenly changed.
"Iron Guard Token."
"Is this man the Iron Guard?"
Taylor sneered.
"A person who can break into the Guards' station at this time and successfully take over the Guards."
"Who else but Iron Guard."
These words made the surrounding nobles' expressions change drastically.
Because this is the king's confidant.
Kill the iron guards, deprive them of their titles, confiscate their homes, and exile them to the border.
Moreover, the Iron Guard itself is the superior of the Imperial Guard.
As long as they get the king's authorization, they can take over the Praetorian Guard.
Although I don’t know why the Ninth Prince’s warrant was obtained.
But killing the Iron Guard casually is a grave sin.
Taylor saw the trembling nobles of the Imperial Guard in front of him.
After sneering.
He spoke.
"Everyone, I just received the news."
"The ninth prince assassinated the third prince and issued orders under the guise of the king."
"Trying to control the royal capital."
"Although everyone serves in the Imperial Guard."
"But there are families behind them, and their own interests must come first."
"In the Imperial Guard, we are not of the same mind. We all have our own calculations. This is also an open fact."
"But it's different now. The Ninth Prince is our common enemy."
"No matter what happens now, let's focus on dealing with the Ninth Prince first."
"I give you one hour to deliver the message to the Lord behind you."
"Then guard the walls and gates of the inner city."
"No matter who comes, they are not allowed to open the city gate."
"Until tomorrow morning."
After the guards present heard this.
His face turned ugly.
Then each one took a deep breath.
"Taylor, what you said is true?"
"Absolutely true."
After receiving assurances, the Praetorian Guards left the camp.
Soon, the explosive news spread in the capital.
at the same time!
Those second sons of nobles who were placed in the Praetorian Guard.
They are also active.
Not long.
The other two Praetorian Guard camps were originally controlled by the Iron Guard.
They were quickly recaptured by the nobles.
The honorary nobles secured the walls and gates of the inner city.
This matter of life and death was in our hands.
And the Ninth Prince's plan failed.
Early in the morning.
The Ninth Prince, with red eyes, roared and asked.
"None of them worked?"
"No, we leaked the news."
"The nobles returned to the Praetorian Guard camp early."
"All the Iron Guards sent there were killed."
Hearing this answer, the Ninth Prince gritted his teeth.
"asshole!"
"All my plans were disrupted."
At this time, Miller on the side spoke.
"Nero."
"It's just failure, there's nothing to be afraid of."
"In that case, let's wait a few more days."
"Use the King's Tournament to delay."
"Wait for the Iron Guard Commander to return."
"There is a legendary powerhouse sitting here."
"We still have the situation under control."
After hearing this, Nero had no choice but to agree.
"I'm afraid we will face tremendous pressure tomorrow morning."
Miller smiled.
"It's just pressure."
"Let me help you solve it."
Then he turned to the attendant beside him.
"Go tell the president of the Alchemy Association."
"Let the king wake up for a day."
"Convene a martial arts tournament in advance."
Nero's eyes lit up.
"Good idea."
"As long as the tournament starts, the nobles will want to cause trouble for me."
"We have to wait until it's over."
"Brother, you are really a genius."
Miller patted Nero on the shoulder.
"It's just a small trick, you can't be a king."
"Nero."
"Now that our plan to control the Praetorian Guards has failed."
"The next step is to suppress the Third Prince's forces."
"Forcing them to surrender to us."
"Instead of taking refuge with other princes."
Nero patted his chest.
"Don't worry, I know how to solve it."
"The third prince is gone, and none of the other princes pose a threat to me."
And the words just fell.
There was news from outside.
"Report."
"His Excellency the Ninth Prince."
"News just came from the inner city."
"Three hundred alchemists blocked the door of the Sixth Prince."
"Please become the retainer of the Sixth Prince."
"And these alchemists originally supported the third prince."
"And just now."
"The Sixth Prince accepted them!!!"
As soon as the news came out.
Miller and Nero had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
"he!"
"Is this crazy???" (End of Chapter)
