These two families hated the faint king so much that they were naturally willing to cooperate if they had the opportunity to deal with Charles.
Tonight's [Meteor Plan] is to use the inside information to open the city gate and capture the city of Mantu in one fell swoop.
The meeting of nobles will be held tomorrow, and it's time to let these people know who has the final say in the Kingdom of Perth.
Krusen followed Matthew, watching the movement of the troops under Matthew, and quickly understood the situation.
Judging from Matthew's maneuvers, they were about to attack the royal city.
However, Matthew's troops were all wearing light armor and did not even carry large siege equipment.
An excellent general like Xiang Matthew would definitely not make such a stupid mistake.
Then the result is obvious, Matthew does not intend to attack by force.
Since there is no plan to attack by force, it naturally means that there is an insider in the city.
Thinking of this, Crewson was not too surprised.
The isolated city of Mantu has been trapped for more than two months. Although there is no problem with the food supply in the city for the time being, there is an atmosphere of despair everywhere in the city.
No one can see hope.
They don't know why they persist.
Is it for the country or the king?
In this case, it is not easy to bribe people in the city.
No matter how strong a city is, the hearts of those who hold the keys to the city may not be so strong.
"Strong castles are opened from the inside."
Crewson thought about how he was a subject of the Kingdom of Perth a few hours ago, and sighed in his heart, and recited a poem casually.
Matthew looked at Cruson in surprise. He didn't expect such a philosophical sentence to come from the mouth of this seemingly vulgar fat man.
When Crewson saw Matthew looking at him, his heart trembled a little, but he still managed to remain calm and said:
"This is what my father taught me. If the people's hearts are not there, no matter how strong the wall is, it can't stop the enemy."
"Your father is a very thoughtful person."
Matthew smiled and said: "Tonight, let us see how this fortified city is breached from the inside."
Three red flares flew into the sky, and the 10,000+ army began to take action under the cover of night.
The soldiers approached the city wall at an easy pace.
Krusen looked at the army and his expression changed greatly.
He had never seen an army like this. When 10,000+ people marched, no one spoke.Even orders are issued through sign language and signals such as flags and lanterns.
He vaguely felt that even if there were no moles, Mantu City might not be able to defend it.
He had some resistance to surrendering to Matthew before, but now he no longer has such thoughts.
Lord Matthew is indeed a person favored by the Lord of Holy Light, and he is incomparable to that good-for-nothing Charles.
Crewson thought of another thing, the arrival of a miracle, heralding the founding of the empire.
The previous three miracles created three super empires on the mainland. Is this fourth miracle an exception?
Thinking of this, his heart beat faster.
If Matthew is the founding emperor of the new empire, these ministers who are following Matthew now are the founding fathers!
No wonder those nobles rebelled so quickly.
Tonight's military operation did not encounter much resistance.
After entering the city, the Imperial Army advanced silently and quickly through the streets, clearing away the patrolling soldiers and approaching the palace as quickly as possible.
At least three city gates were opened. The city gate guards watched the Imperial Army enter the city, and then silently took off the emblem of the Imperial Army.
They knew very well that this was the last day of the Kingdom of Perth, and when dawn came, the sky would change.
The first battle broke out outside the palace gate.
Loyalty comes in times of crisis. After all, the Kingdom of Perth has been established for hundreds of years, and there are many people who are loyal to the royal family.
Everyone has their own opinion on whether King Charles was a foolish king or not.But regardless of whether he is a foolish king or not, it is not Matthew, a foreign force's turn, to make irresponsible remarks.
This is the mentality of many centrist parties.
Even if the Kingdom of Perth were to change its king, it would have to find a wise prince from the royal family to take over instead of allowing foreign invaders to wreak havoc.
From the perspective of the Kingdom of Perth, Matthew is a standard foreign invader.
In this era, we need a reason to start a war, and we cannot hit people without any reason.
The Kingdom of Perth previously declared war on the Empire, and the official reason was to regain territory.
They have a strong claim on Groningen, so they can legally declare war.
The Clare Empire had the same reason for taking back Groningen, taking advantage of the strong claims of the province.
But the war in which the Clare Empire annexed the Kingdom of Perth was different, and its nature had completely changed.
The empire was invaded by the Kingdom of Perth. It was reasonable to launch a disciplinary war, but the reason for annexing the Kingdom of Perth was not so sufficient.
There are generally several valid reasons for wanting to completely annex a country.
The first is the right to claim the country, which is the most legitimate reason.
The second reason is that there is an oracle's instruction. This reason is also very legitimate.
The third is to launch a holy war.Countries of different faiths can wage jihad against each other, which is unrestricted war.
If Matthew declares war on Zalandin Khan of the Huxun Khanate, he can launch Jihad until the opponent is completely destroyed.
However, the above three Matthews are not relevant.
The royal family of the Kingdom of Perth rarely intermarry with foreign countries, and it has a strict eldest son inheritance law, so the claim rights are all within the country.
There is really no oracle.The risk of forging oracles is extremely high, and the gains outweigh the losses.
The Kingdom of Perth and the Empire of Clare both believe in the Lord of Holy Light, so holy war does not exist.
After much deliberation, Matthew could only use a special way to usurp the throne that many people didn't know about, which was the election of a meeting of nobles.
This is why he called a meeting of the nobles.
If the royal family of the Kingdom of Perth becomes extinct, all the nobles in the kingdom can elect a noble to become the new royal family. Of course, the kingdom can also be dissolved and everyone can go their separate ways.
The latter is definitely not what Matthew wants, he wants the entire Kingdom of Perth.
He cleverly stuck a bug.
The people of the Kingdom of Perth do not recognize Groningen as a territory of the empire. They believe that Groningen is still an integral part of the kingdom.
However, Groningen has always been under imperial rule, so the Duke of Groningen was appointed by the empire.
By coincidence, the current Duke of Groningen happens to be Matthew, so Matthew is also legally a vassal of the Kingdom of Perth.
After the royal family was completely destroyed, Matthew was naturally qualified to become a candidate for king.
Reasonable and legal.
As long as you put a knife to the voters' necks, it will not be difficult to pass the bill unanimously.
No one knows elections better than Matthew.
This was his logic for usurping the title. It was completely closed-loop, and even the other two empires on the mainland could not find anything wrong with it.
The resistance of the Royal Guards of the Kingdom of Perth was fierce.
Perhaps because they knew that they were completely bound to the kingdom, they had no intention of laying down their weapons and surrendering.
A soldier can fight with all his strength, let alone [-] Imperial Guards.
Palace City became Charles's last stronghold.
The king, who was intoxicated in his own world, had just had a threesome with the queen and princess tonight, and was lying motionless on the bed as tired as a dead pig.
He didn't realize something was wrong until the eunuch who came to warn him forcibly dragged him up.
Hearing the shouts of killing coming from all over the city, he looked confused.
"What's going on? Who wants to kill me!"
The eunuch wants to say that everyone is looking forward to your death, but he cannot say the words.
Although King Charles was not a good king, he was a genius in cultivation. The old eunuch did not dare to let this king, whose fighting profession was a ninth-level sword wielder, see the clues.
The old eunuch knelt down with a pop and cried tremblingly: "Your Majesty, there are traitors in the city, we have been surrounded by the thieves of the empire!"
Charles stared blankly at the flames outside the window, dumbfounded.
He looked back at the queen and princess. The two beloved wives were shivering in the bed, with tears glistening in the corners of their eyes.
Of course they are afraid.
After the fall of the country, the experiences of the female relatives are often very miserable. They have outstanding looks, are very young, and are the king's wives. They can satisfy all the conquerors' desires for conquest at once.
They had heard about Matthew and knew that he was a womanizer. It would be a wonder in the world if he could let them go.
Thinking of this, the two women cried even more sadly.
Last night they were still the superior queen and princess, but now they have become lambs to be slaughtered.
After Charles was stunned for a few seconds, he suddenly calmed down and waved his hand to signal the old eunuch to retreat.
The old eunuch was a little anxious. The order he received was to trick Charles out of the palace.
If Charles didn't leave, given the strength of the palace city, he could still hold on for a long time.If it was delayed for too long and delayed Lord Matthew's meeting of nobles, he would not be able to explain it.
So, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed while wailing: "Your Majesty, please don't give up! If we leave now, we can still establish a government in exile abroad and seek international assistance. We still have a chance!"
"Have the opportunity?"
A sneer appeared at the corner of Charles's mouth, and he said lightly: "I'm afraid you have a chance to become famous!"
The old eunuch's expression changed drastically and he was speechless for a moment.
He didn't know where he was, but Charles was doubting him.
Just when he was sweating profusely and wanted to explain, Charles took a step forward, clawed open the old eunuch's chest, and ripped out his heart alive.
"Haha, the traitor's heart is actually red too."
Charles threw the old eunuch's heart aside, then kicked the old eunuch's body out of the door.
He turned around and looked at the queen and princess, smiling particularly horribly.
"Elena, Suso, let me accompany you to have one last carnival."
The two women stared blankly at Charles, who was covered in blood. The extreme fear just now turned into a calmness after despair.
They knelt down, saluted Charles, and said softly: "As you command."
The three of them all knew that this was the last joy of their lives, and they shed tears while enjoying themselves.
Outside the window, the shouts of killing shook the sky; inside the window, blood and tears intertwined.
......
Matthew arrived in the city, came to the frontline headquarters, and met Diana.
Diana reported the latest progress to Matthew. She said with some helplessness: "Master Matthew, the progress is not going well. The strength of the palace city is beyond our expectations, and our internal intelligence deployed in the palace has also lost contact. .”
There is only one possibility for Nei Ying to lose contact at this time: he was discovered.
As an internal agent, it would be a dead end if he was discovered.
No one cared about the lives of the traitors, Diana was only worried about the progress of the siege.
If the palace city had not been taken at dawn, would the meeting of all nobles still be held?
The reason why the nobles were allowed to gather on the night of the 29th and attack the city in the early morning of the 30th was because they hoped to overwhelm the nobles with their victory over the city in one night.
Use thunderous military actions to prove to these people who is the real God of War.
According to the plan, the opening ceremony of the noble meeting is at 30:10 on the 00th.
Based on this, the siege operation must end before 8:00, and two hours must be left to set up the venue.
If the city cannot be taken on time, the action of flexing muscles becomes a comical clown show.
