Restarting Life After Forcibly Marrying the Demon King

546 Rebellion

"Why are you so noisy?"

When the sky was completely dark, Sifrin brought Luo Ning to the designated location to meet up.

The three teammates followed behind them obediently.

According to the agreement, they will cooperate with Luo Ning to complete the next task, and then Luo Ning will take them to Yilan King City to meet their Captain Greer.

Looking at the dark crowd in front of him, Luo Ning couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.

"I don't know...how do I feel like they are planning something..."

Sifline shook her head, slowed down and hid behind Luo Ning.

This is the suburb not far from the north gate of the main city of Crotal.

It was originally just an ordinary commercial avenue, but it was bustling with traffic at night.

Carriages and people came and went, carrying piles of goods.

The materials piled up under the tree are as high as mountains. In addition to cold weapons, there are also various magic props here.

"what happened?"

Siflynn stopped a passerby at random.

The man was in a hurry and saw Sifline and the other five beckoning.

"It's just right, you guys are here to carry the explosives."

"...What? What are you going to do? Is it a new mission?"

Sifline tilted her head in doubt, her eyes resting on the box of black gunpowder not far away.

The man nodded and replied, "We're going to blow open the door of the royal castle."

"You want to rebel!?"

Sifline noticed that her voice was a little loud, and quickly covered her mouth again.

"...Our recruits have only been out for a day, why are we suddenly going to blow up the door of the royal family?"

"Didn't you get the news...?"

The recruit looked at them strangely, and then said:

"The previous emperor, Clothar III, died in the afternoon, and the new emperor is Sofina Clothar."

"what!!?"

Siflynn's mouth is big enough to hold two eggs.

She looked at Luo Ning in astonishment.

At the same time, someone shouted loudly from a high place with a loudspeaker magic tool.

"Assemble, assemble!!"

The tall man was standing on the container. From the medal on his chest, it could be seen that this man's military rank might not be low.

The black crowd surrounded him, and Siflyn wanted to walk in, but Luo Ning grabbed her by the collar.

"Well, don't you want to go and see?"

"You can hear it here too. It's full of sweaty smell, so there's no need to squeeze in."

Luo Ning answered her gently.

His eyes staggered from the people on the high platform, and looked at the imperial city and the castle in the city in the distance.

There was no riot or fire there, only a few blue magic lamps emitting a faint light.

It looked cool and peaceful.

"Clotar III, Clovis Clothar, passed away at three o'clock this afternoon...His Majesty Clovis spent his whole life to achieve the Clothar Empire, but he is old, After all, it is impossible to break away from the limit of human lifespan, and it is the end of life..."

A good one is dying.

Luo Ning sighed inwardly.

But these recruits would not know the news that the previous emperor was deeply cursed, nor did he know that the emperor vomited blood every day, so they were easy to fool.

"We observe three seconds of silence on the passing of His Majesty Clotar III."

The man finished his sentence as if going through the motions, and before he even finished waiting for three seconds, he drew out his long sword and held the sky high.

"The old king is dead, and the new king is enthroned. Join me in serving Your Majesty Sofina!!"

The man's voice was thick and powerful.

For some of the recruits who had already been brought under Sofina's command, what they said to the head of the recruit regiment was not surprising.

But for most people, such an oath is inevitably a bit abrupt.

"I know what some of you are thinking, and I know what some of you are planning... Whether you are here to find out why the tens of thousands of recruits disappeared, or to avenge them, I will only tell you one thing."

"There are two paths in front of you. The first is to be loyal to the new emperor Sofina, and the other is to become a sacrifice for the transformation of the empire and die here alive."

"Her Majesty the Empress said, she will give you an explanation."

"The empire will not raise disloyal dogs. As new recruits, you should be loyal to the new emperor."

The man's gaze scanned their complex expressions, and finally he dropped the sword in his hand, pointing the sharp blade at the ground.

Most of the recruits here are people who haven't seen the big scene very much. For them, the scene of the change of the emperor is a bit unacceptable for a while.

But there is no doubt that the first batch of teams to follow the new emperor will definitely be the first to eat crabs.

And the new emperor needs their loyalty very much.

During the silence, someone finally stood up.

The boy stood at the end of the crowd and lazily raised his hand.

"I."

"I am willing to be loyal to Her Majesty Sofina."

The black-haired boy's voice was not loud, but it could be heard far away in this wilderness.

His face is considered famous in this recruit group.

So soon someone discovered Luo Ning's identity.

"...Aren't you the little queen's male favourite?"

Someone lowered their voices and discussed in a low voice.

"The little princess's male favorite can't be the eldest princess's person?" Luo Ning asked back.

"I'm a grass on the wall, I'll fall on whichever side is better... Anyway, I rely on it, who wouldn't want to choose a strong backer to rely on?"

Luo Ning smiled harmlessly, and walked to the leader on the box with Siflin.

He doesn't really care what these people think of him.

He is a man's favorite, and he doesn't mind being a fool.

Luo Ning had only one purpose from the beginning to the end.

Since the man said that Empress Sofina would give everyone an explanation about why those recruits disappeared, Luo Ning must be involved.

The purpose of his coming here is to find the answer.

So his position changed very readily.

Seeing this, the leader nodded in satisfaction.

Only when Luo Ning got closer did he realize that there was a thin golden thread wrapped around this man's arm and the hilt of his sword.

Under the illumination of the moonlight, those thin lines are so tiny that you can only find them if you get very close.

He also saw this kind of line on Sofina's body.

This person really belonged to Sofina.

"His Majesty the Empress said, as long as you are willing to serve her, you will not be to blame for what happened in the past."

As soon as the man said this, and Luo Ning took the lead, the crowd became restless.

"Our team was appointed by His Majesty Sofina during the military parade... so I have no objections."

"The army of the empire is loyal to the emperor..."

"We have no opinion either..."

The situation was unsurprisingly one-sided, and there was only one path left for this group of newcomers from the very beginning.

They all imitated Luo Ning's behavior and stood behind the leader, and the remaining dozens of people also surrounded them under pressure.

Even though they knew there was a problem with the imperial recruit camp, they still wanted to join. For most people, their purpose was not pure at all.

There may be people who hate the royal family among them, but under this sudden change, they can only choose to swallow their anger.

The man put away his sword and nodded in satisfaction.

"Her Majesty is in danger now. What we have to do is to meet up with the forbidden army in the city, blow open the gate of the castle, and rescue Her Majesty!"

"..."

The crowd fell silent for two seconds.

Someone asked: "Someone wants to rebel against His Majesty?"

The man stared, as if to say:

"It's not about rebellion. His Majesty is alone now, just when we are needed."

………………

It took less than ten hours for the new emperor to ascend the throne, and he already received strong dissatisfaction from the powerful nobles.

The relationship between the nobles of the empire is intricate, and Sofina doesn't intend to understand the relationship between them.

It goes without saying that, for them, only self-interest is paramount.

As long as Sofina throws olive branches at some of the nobles with deep roots, her position of being outnumbered will be eased.

However, Sofina did not win over any forces.

She seemed to be aimlessly offending everyone.

Sofina sat on a chair with a thick book on her lap.

She holds a scepter in one hand and a red quill in one hand.

Orders to amend the constitution came down one after another.

The brand-new 'rules' weighed on the heads of high-ranking officials like a jack.

The interests of the nobles were exploited little by little, and the rights of the ministers were gradually stripped away.

Sofina saw how they became gnashing their teeth.

But she remained indifferent, writing new orders on the text-filled constitution.

Reduce the scope of the nobility's territory, collect value-added tax from merchants, abolish the original military regulations, and directly assign authority to the royal family.

Every order Sofina gave almost killed them.

The night is already deep.

It wasn't until Sofina put away the pen energetically that everyone breathed in the oppressive atmosphere.

"The new constitution has almost been amended, and I will make a copy for you to see later."

Sofina smiled flatly.

From a distance, it seemed that the corners of his mouth were only twitching, and there was no smile on his face.

"Let you see that I am not asking for your opinion, but just reminding you what to do next."

"However, if you have any ideas, you can bring them up now... Maybe I will be satisfied?"

She squinted her eyes and looked at everyone in the audience.

Their luxurious clothes shone under the firelight, and everyone lowered their heads in a tacit understanding.
