Alien Empire Total War

Chapter 39: Fall of the Royal Palace

The power of the system once again amazed Charlie. After being converted into a militia, several members of the Santos Party, including Sandy, all put down their hostility to Charlie and regarded him as the person they wanted to be loyal to, and the last thing they wanted to resist. Consciousness also disappeared.

Charlie witnessed the entire process of Sandy's transformation. After he was converted into a system soldier along with the others, Charlie recruited him and began to ask him about the Santos party. To his surprise, Santos Di's identity is indeed unusual. He is the core member of the rebel army and the leader's most trusted deputy.

He then began to ask Sandy all the news about the rebels. Through talking with Sandy, Charlie learned a lot of internal news of the Santos party and the current progress of the siege of Heroes' Square, as well as his most concerned about funding. , Contrary to what he expected, although the rebels controlled the National Bank, they did not remove all the funds stored in it, but left some soldiers stationed there to prevent other armed citizens from fishing in troubled waters.

Facing Charlie's puzzlement, Sandy took the initiative to explain to him that the rebels also paid attention to the sanctity of private property, and they would not dispose of each other's property without authorization until the owner of the property was convicted. After the rebellion broke out, it broke out in the city of Ankerton The numerous robberies in China were committed by citizens who were out of control themselves, and had nothing to do with the Santos Party. Even if they hadn't taken control of the situation in time and prevented the looting from continuing, more citizens would have been brutally murdered.

Hearing this, Charlie suddenly had an idea, a bold idea.

Although the Santos Party prohibits robbery, he cannot control everyone under him. The rebels who had previously invaded the noble district are the best example. Charlie can disguise himself as armed citizens with the militia to besiege the bank and store the money stored in the underground vault. All the funds were converted into system funds, and finally the Santos Party was framed for this incident. Although this would completely cut off the Santos Party's path to strive for cooperation with the old nobles, and let the civil war break out in an all-round way, but what does this have to do with Charlie?

The total war system he masters can only play a full role in the war years, and as long as he is careful not to leave any evidence pointing to himself, he can fully escape from this matter, and even if he is investigated later, he will not be found. The decisive evidence - the disappearing funds.

Those funds were all absorbed by Charlie, and if others could find them, they would be considered awesome.

Before that, Charlie had to create widespread chaos in the city to cover up the whereabouts of the armed citizens who besieged the bank. The best way to do this was to start the war again and start a fierce battle with the rebels in the city - but now the rebels They all gathered around the Sona Palace, and if they wanted them to send troops to cooperate with themselves, they could only let Sandy go.

Given Sandy's status in the Santos party, no one would believe that he had betrayed. Putting him back could also support a traitor in the rebel army and continuously transmit the enemy's movements and information to Charlie.

Thinking of this, Charlie finally made up his mind.

That night, due to the negligence of the guarding soldiers, Sandy and several other prisoners found an opportunity to "escape" the prisoner of war camp and returned to the rebel headquarters outside the Sona Palace. The day after Sandy escaped, The Sona Palace, which had been besieged for several days, was finally breached. The angry rebels invaded the palace and arrested the king's family and the palace minister who were also trapped in prison. The guards guarding the palace were all killed. Forget the brutality they fired at the citizens, not a single prisoner was left behind.

The news of the fall of the Sona Palace quickly spread inside and outside the city, shocking the old nobles who retreated to Curo Town, and even more shocked by the news from the south—the news of a rebellion in the capital (officially) spread. Afterwards, rebellions broke out in various parts of the south, and in response to the revolt of the citizens of the capital, the southern part of the Rumont Kingdom was immediately plunged into turmoil.

In the north, the First Army and the Second Army, which are fighting against the Hildi Kingdom, are also gradually shrinking their front lines, intending to return to the capital to suppress the rebellion, but the Hildi people do not give them a chance to retreat, and the Hildi army is tightening step by step. Forced, the Rumont army had to stop retreating.

In the west, the Third Army, commanded by Marshal Debra, Charlie's grandfather, also began to retreat after receiving the news. They had already entered the border of the Okalos Kingdom and fought in the enemy's country, but they also failed to succeed. After retreating, the Okalos who heard the wind began to organize their army to bite the enemy army that was about to retreat. Their people also spontaneously gathered to form a guerrilla group to cooperate with the retreat of the Royal Army to harass the Rumon army.

After the news of the rebellion in various parts of the south returned to Ankerton, the Duke of Ireland, Helvin Valente, publicly stated that as long as the Santos Party guaranteed the personal safety of the king's family, he would support Ankerton. The will of the people, and called on the old nobles to persuade the king to abdicate and return the rights to the people of Lumont.

The Duke of Ireland's remarks caused a great uproar. Whether it was the Santos party or the old nobles, bureaucrats or commoners, there was a lot of discussion about the "righteous" speech of the Duke of Ireland. The Santos Party took advantage of the situation to release their program of action to express their goals It is to end the autocratic rule of the king and establish a democratic republic. For this reason, they are willing to cooperate with the aristocratic class to form a new government together.

The aristocrats and bureaucrats regarded the Duke of Ireland as a traitor more, and some of them publicly denounced the Duke of Ireland as a "traitor and thief", saying that they would fight the rebels to the last moment.

The old nobles in Curo Town have their own ideas. Those who can settle down in the capital’s aristocratic area are all families who can speak in the country. Now that the king has been arrested and imprisoned, the rebels are willing to share power with them. Let many nobles start to shake, not everyone is loyal to the king, as nobles, they are more centered on the interests of themselves and their families.

As a result, in the next few days, the rebels and the old nobles began to contact each other frequently, and the army that was still fighting on the border also slowed down its retreat and continued to confront the enemy. Charles, who was still in the north of the city, also received envoys sent by several nobles. They asked Charlie not to continue to attack. The words also revealed the opinion of the dominant faction among the old nobles - abandon the king and cooperate with the Santos party.

Although Charlie was unwilling to do so, he temporarily stopped the plan to start the National Bank, and Sandy couldn't cooperate with Charlie either, because Eker Santos, in order to show his sincerity, ordered the army sent to the north of the city to stop fighting. .

It seems that peace is coming, and only the world where the king is wounded is achieved?
