My queen is rebelling!

Falia sat in his office for a long time, but the people from the Intelligence Bureau still hadn't arrived. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised and said to the personal guard beside him:

"Go ask the gatekeeper, didn't the people from the Intelligence Bureau already arrive? Why haven't they come in yet? Did something happen?"

The personal guard bowed slightly and walked out.

Not long after the personal guard left, Falia felt a shocking explosion coming from outside the building.

Falia suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with disbelief. He was extremely familiar with this sound, it was the sound of a magic crossbow cannon.

This was a standard weapon only equipped by the military, a magic crossbow cannon!

Each shot was equivalent to a strike from a third-order extraordinary, it was an absolute heavy weapon. In all of Silverfrost, only the elite troops of the major war zones, as well as the Chief Constable's Office, the Special Operations Division, and the Grand Duke's Guards were equipped with this weapon.

Why was the sound of a crossbow cannon ringing out in Silverfrost City?

Prime Minister Falia didn't initially suspect his own people. He was wondering, could it be that Effain had already attacked?

Impossible!

This was the capital city in the heart of Silverfrost, there was no way Effain's army could have silently invaded.

Falia was still in shock from hearing the sound of the magic crossbow cannon when suddenly, the personal guard who had just left rushed in, looking panicked and pale, exclaiming:

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, something bad has happened! There are troops attacking the National Guidance Committee building!"

Inside the National Guidance Committee office, besides the Chairman Falia, there were also most of the standing members of the Noble Council. At this moment, hearing the personal guard's exclamation, they all stood up, their faces showing the same shock.

Falia's body trembled, and he asked in disbelief:

"Which army is it from? Is it the rebel army under Shepard?"

The personal guard shook his head and said:

"The attack outside is too fierce, I can't see clearly, but there's at least a regiment, thousands of people!"

A look of shock and seriousness appeared on Falia's face. He couldn't understand why such a large military force would suddenly appear in Silverfrost City and attack the National Guidance Committee building.

Before he could figure it out, a middle-aged military officer with a stern aura barged in, it was none other than the Third Garrison Regiment Commander of the Chief Constable's Office, responsible for guarding the National Guidance Committee building.

The Third Garrison Regiment Commander's opening words caused a storm in the office:

"The ones attacking the building are from the 9th Corps of the Chief Constable's Office!"

The 9th Corps of the Chief Constable's Office!

Falia couldn't help but exclaim:

"The 9th Corps?

How is that possible?

"I'm not sure about the specific situation, but the opponent's attack is extremely fierce, clearly well-planned and prepared.

Chairman, I strongly suspect that this is a premeditated coup!"

The expression on Falia's face was extremely ugly. He took a deep breath, gradually calmed his mind, opened a dedicated communication stone, and contacted Koch, the Commander of the Chief Constable's Office.

Koch hadn't gone home for the past few days and had been staying in the Martial Law Division. After receiving Falia's message, he was also extremely shocked:

"Are you sure it's Dickinson of the 9th Corps?"

"Confirmed, soldiers have already seen Dickinson's adjutant."

Koch immediately had the communications officer contact the headquarters of the 9th Corps, but the result was no response.

A staff officer next to him said:

"Commander, could this be a... coup?

For no reason, Dickinson would never have the courage to actively attack the National Guidance Committee headquarters. He must have received promises or benefits from a higher level."

The muscles on Koch's face twitched slightly. He quickly thought of something, scanned the people in the war room, and asked:

"Where is Deputy Commander Jose?"

Everyone looked at each other, but no one answered.

Koch took a deep breath, reconnected with Falia, and said:

"Chairman, we can't reach the 9th Corps here either. Dickinson is disobeying military orders and acting without authorization!

My suggestion is to immediately send troops to suppress them.

I suspect that this is a premeditated coup, a decision must be made as soon as possible!"

Of course, Falia also meant the same thing, and immediately replied:

"Okay, General, you can issue the order!"

After speaking, Koch quickly issued an order, ordering the Security Regiment directly under the Command and the Fifth and Sixth Infantry Regiments to immediately enter a state of mobilization and depart in ten minutes to support the National Guidance Committee building.

At the Army Military Police Headquarters, the coup team was constantly monitoring the situation.

Soon, the Central Intelligence Agency controlled by Akdimon sent intelligence that Koch had already sent troops to suppress Dickinson's Ninth Corps.

The war room suddenly became noisy, and Chambers, the Quartermaster General of the Ministry of National Defense, had a tone of shock in his voice:

"Their reaction speed is so fast, they sent troops to suppress them so decisively?"

Cohen's voice rang out:

"It seems that this Commander of the Chief Constable's Office is much more capable than the Army Chief of Staff."

He looked at everyone and asked:

"Everyone, among the commanders of these troops that Koch has mobilized, is there anyone who graduated from the Army Academy?"

Several people fell into memory, and soon Commander Jose opened his mouth and said:

"The commanders of the Fifth and Sixth Infantry Regiments are both old men who graduated from the Army Academy, but there is little contact.

I've only met them.

Everyone from the Security Regiment directly under the Command, from top to bottom, is Koch's classmate at the National Defense Operations Command Academy, there are no acquaintances."

Among the factions of the Silverfrost army, in addition to those from the Army Academy, the most were high-achieving students from the National Defense University Operations Command Department.

Cohen said:

"Contact these two regimental commanders and tell them to delay for a while.

Not too long, as long as we can delay until General Redinos and the others get the Grand Duke's direct son's signature, we can obtain legitimate power!"

At this time, a field army commander from the Silverfrost Northwest Military Region said:

"The commander of the Fifth Infantry Regiment is from my hometown, I have taken care of him before, I will work on him."

Jose said:

"Then I'll leave the Sixth Corps to me."

The two quickly took action, directly using the Central Intelligence Agency's dedicated communication network to contact the commanders of the Fifth and Sixth Corps of the Chief Constable's Office.

The commander of the Northwest Military Region contacted the commander of the Fifth Infantry Regiment, and opened his mouth with a familiar hometown dialect:

"Little Rascal, it's me, how have you been lately?"

The commander of the Fifth Infantry Regiment immediately became solemn upon hearing the familiar voice and replied:

"Senior, why is it you? Have you come to Silverfrost?"

The military commander chuckled and said:

"Little Rascal, I was your company commander when you were a recruit.

I don't know if what I say is still effective now."

The commander of the Fifth Infantry Regiment was filled with doubt, not understanding why the old senior from his hometown would suddenly call in the middle of the night, but he quickly replied:

"Senior, I have always kept your care in mind, please give me your instructions directly."

Military Commander:

"Then I won't talk nonsense, just now did your commander issue you an emergency mobilization order, the target is the National Guidance Committee building?"

The commander of the Fifth Infantry Regiment was suddenly shocked. How could the field army commander thousands of miles away know such top-secret military intelligence?

"Senior, what do you mean by this?"

The military commander's voice was still unhurried:

"If I, this old senior, still have some face with you, then postpone the execution of this order for two hours."

The commander of the Fifth Infantry Regiment immediately fell into rapid thought, his voice becoming much more nervous:

"Senior, can you tell me the reason?"

Military Commander:

"Your Chief Constable's Office Commander has misjudged the situation. You can investigate, the ones guarding the National Guidance Committee now are your colleagues from the Chief Constable's Office, the Ninth Corps.

He ordered you to attack your own brothers, don't you think this order is very strange?"

Commander of the Fifth Infantry Regiment:

"Senior, the order I received shows that it was Colonel Dickinson, the commander of the Ninth Corps, who led a mutiny and is besieging the Chairman and the noble councilors. That's why Commander Koch ordered a suppression."

The military commander raised his voice, and his tone suddenly became stern:

"Who is rebelling and who is suppressing the rebellion, can you tell the difference!

Was your Fifth Corps' military pay for last month issued on time!

General!

After all these years of taking care of you, are you unwilling to even give me two hours!"

The commander of the Fifth Infantry Regiment's face became uncertain, he held the communication stone tightly, hesitated for a long time, and then opened his mouth with difficulty:

"Senior, at most one hour, I can only give you one hour.

Please understand me, Commander Koch has also been kind to me!"

"Okay, then one hour!"

The military commander hung up the communication, and a burst of enthusiastic cheers immediately rang out in the coup command room.

Next is the Sixth Corps, Jose contacted the commander of the Sixth Corps.

Jose asked in a deep voice:

"Is that Commander Lauren? It's me, Jose."

Commander Lauren immediately replied:

"Commander, it's Lauren."

Jose's tone was extremely strong:

"Did Commander Koch issue an order for you to mobilize urgently?"

Lauren was stunned for a moment and replied:

"Commander, aren't you at the Martial Law Division?"

Jose raised his voice:

"Lauren, you and I are both from the Army Academy, I'll be frank with you, tonight is the crucial moment to choose a side!

The Grand Duke was assassinated, and a vacuum of national power has appeared. Prime Minister has no foundation in the military.

The affairs of the country are entirely in the hands of the military, do you understand!"

Colonel Lauren, the commander of the Sixth Corps, trembled all over and asked in disbelief:

"Commander, what are you talking about?"

Jose roared:

"Are you still pretending not to understand?

Why did Koch send you to suppress the Ninth Corps? Don't you know that Colonel Dickinson of the Ninth Corps is also one of us from the Army Academy.

Dickinson was originally going to the National Guidance Committee building tonight for a changing of the guard, why was he labeled as a rebel out of nowhere?

Lauren!

Koch is purging dissidents, using the Grand Duke's assassination case to purge the forces of our Army Academy system.

Tonight is a full-scale siege of our Army Academy system by the National University system!

Are you going to be their accomplice?"

Chambers, the Quartermaster General of the Ministry of National Defense, also spoke at this time, saying in a deep voice:

"Lauren, I am Chambers of the Ministry of National Defense."

Hearing the voice, Lauren's body trembled and immediately replied:

"Senior, why are you here too?"

Chambers said stiffly:

"I can't stand by and watch our Army Academy people kill each other!

To tell you the truth, after the death of Army Chief of Staff Claude, I have investigated all the military pay he embezzled, and I originally planned to reissue the back pay for last month to the brothers.

But the materials, once delivered to the Minister of Defense, were suppressed by him.

He said it would be decided after consulting with Commander Koch!

What 'decide after consulting'? The Minister of Defense is Koch's senior from his university days!

This is clearly the Koch faction taking advantage of the national turmoil to seize power into their own hands.

If we don't resist, we'll all become lambs to the slaughter!”

Lauren, the commander of the Sixth Corps, felt a tingling in his scalp, realizing he was unknowingly caught in such a massive vortex.

Lauren loosened the collar of his uniform, his voice becoming much hoarser:

“Commander, what do you think I should do now?”

José’s face lit up slightly, and he immediately said:

“Have your troops begin to mobilize, but don't move out yet. Wait two hours!”

“Alright, Commander, please keep me informed of the latest situation at all times!”

“Good!”

Exhilarated voices echoed once more within the command center.

José breathed a sigh of relief, looking towards Cohen:

“Two main infantry regiments have been temporarily held back, as well as a direct-control garrison regiment.

It shouldn't take more than thirty minutes to reach the National Guidance Committee Building.”

Cohen asked:

“How long will it take Dickinson to capture the building?”

José replied:

“Optimistically, about two hours.”

Winslow Drexler asked from the side:

“Why so long? Didn't that Provost Marshal give him the building's defense map?”

José bowed slightly and said softly:

“The Noble Assembly Building is equipped with comprehensive defense facilities. Moreover, the Assembly Building is just a name; it's actually a cluster of buildings covering an area of over 100,000 square meters, with a total construction area of 500,000 square meters.

Without a detailed defense map, Dickinson's force alone might not be able to capture it.”

Cohen said:

“Two hours is too long. We must send reinforcements and also find a way to stop this direct-control garrison regiment.”

Everyone turned their gaze to José.

He currently had three infantry divisions, a mage corps, and a knight order at his disposal.

And recently, he had redeployed them near various core national institutions.

José said in a deep voice:

“The combat power of the direct-control garrison regiment is extraordinary, approaching 'Regular Grade'.

To completely block them, we must send out an entire infantry division.

But once a division-level unit is deployed, the commotion will be significant.

The enemy will quickly realize that I am involved in organizing the coup. In that case, Faria and the others might directly use the Special Operations Division to join in.”

The Special Operations Division, composed entirely of 'Regular Grade' troops, is Faria's last trump card, not to be used lightly.

But if Faria and Koch, among others, determine that the one plotting the coup is a lieutenant general with significant armed forces in the capital, they will definitely play this card.

Once the Special Operations Division joins in, the situation will immediately escalate.

The entire Frost Star City will instantly descend into a sea of flames.

After a brief period of thought, Cohen directly issued the order:

“Don't fear the escalation of the situation. What we need to do now is be faster than the enemy.

General Redinoz and the others have already gone to the Grand Duke's Palace to get the warrant. Time waits for no one; we must act quickly.

General José, send an infantry division to reinforce Dickinson, and another infantry division to intercept the direct-control garrison regiment.

The remaining troops will advance towards the Special Operations Division's headquarters!”

Hearing Cohen's orders, everyone felt a chilling aura.

Having reached this point, they had to resort to any means necessary!

José quickly began mobilizing his trusted troops according to Cohen's orders.

… …

At the National Guidance Committee Building, the sounds of attack from outside continued unabated, booming loudly.

The standing committee members remaining in the building, including some cabinet ministers and members of the Noble Assembly, had gathered in Chairman Faria's office.

At this time, only here was the safest.

Someone asked:

“Chairman, how is the situation?

Have you figured out who is behind this?

Have the troops suppressing the rebellion arrived yet?”

Facing the somewhat uneasy gazes of the crowd, Faria shook his head:

“The specific situation is still unclear, but everyone doesn't need to worry. The building was constructed according to the highest-level military fortress standard. An infantry regiment alone won't be able to break in within a short period of time.

In addition, Commander Koch has already dispatched three garrison regiments to rush to our aid. The crisis will soon be resolved.”

A minister sighed:

“These are truly troubled times. First, the Grand Duke was assassinated, followed by the Western Region Empire refusing to mediate, and now even the troops of the Capital Garrison Command have begun to rebel.

What exactly is happening to our Silver Frost?”

Everyone's mood immediately darkened. All indications showed that Silver Frost had reached the final moment before its demise.

Time passed, and suddenly, a tremendous roar resounded from afar. Immediately afterward, the communications office of the National Guidance Committee received an emergency call from Provost Marshal Koch.

Faria connected the communication, and Koch's angry voice came from the other end:

“It's José!

It's Deputy Commander José of the Capital Garrison Command who is sending troops to besiege the National Guidance Committee!

He has even mobilized the mobile forces of two infantry divisions. The direct-control garrison regiment I sent to suppress the rebellion has been blocked by one of the infantry divisions.

Now, another infantry division is also advancing towards the building!”

Commander Koch's voice immediately stirred up a storm in Faria's office.

The Deputy Commander of the Capital Garrison Command, who possesses a large amount of military armed forces in the capital, has rebelled!

This news made everyone feel both shocked and fearful.

Faria's face also paled slightly. He grabbed the communication stone and asked loudly:

“That bastard, does anyone else know who is involved in the rebellion?

How dare he do this with just a mere Deputy Commander?”

Koch:

“Currently, he is the only one. I cannot confirm whether he has other accomplices right now.

Chairman, we must let General Mendes send troops now.

Mobilize the Special Operations Forces to quickly suppress the rebellion, otherwise, once the stalemate continues, the entire Frost Star City will be destroyed!”

Faria only thought for a few seconds before immediately issuing an order:

“Alright, Commander Koch, I authorize you to immediately contact Commander Mendes of the Special Operations Division and have him dispatch the Special Operations Forces to quell the rebellion.”

“Yes!”

The communication reached a secret facility located in the northwestern suburbs of Frost Star City. Upon receiving the instructions, Mendes did not hesitate much. He asked his adjutant, looked at the battle map, and immediately ordered:

“Have Roman of the First Special Operations Regiment quickly deploy and go to the National Guidance Committee Building to suppress the rebellion.”

At the headquarters of the First Special Operations Regiment, Roman looked at the order sent by the communications office, casually threw it on the ground, scanned the officers in front of him, drew his sword, and said coldly:

“First Special Operations Regiment, deploy!

Target… Grand Duke's Palace!”

“Yes!”

Time passed, and the situation in the city was changing rapidly.

The direct-control garrison regiment of the Capital Garrison Command directly met the infantry division under José on the street. The two armies, which belonged to the same battle sequence an hour ago, now had to confront each other with real weapons.

The rank-and-file soldiers on both sides felt unable to accept it.

The division commander of the infantry division shouted loudly towards the opposite side:

“Retreat! We are all comrades-in-arms, why must we kill each other?”

The regiment commander of the direct-control garrison regiment was also agitated, shouting in a trembling voice:

“Why are you attacking the National Guidance Committee Building? Do you want to launch a coup?

What exactly did Commander José order you to do!”

The division commander replied angrily:

“We should ask what Commander Koch is doing!

Regiment Commander Dickinson clearly went to change defenses according to normal procedures, so why was he labeled a traitor by Commander Koch!”

The regiment commander of the garrison regiment was stunned, gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice:

“We are soldiers, and soldiers should not be involved in politics. Make way!”

The division commander sneered:

“To put it bluntly, this is a comprehensive purge of our Army Academy faction by the Koch faction!

Our Commander Koch is preparing to use this assassination of the Grand Duke to eliminate dissidents!

If I make way, I will be the next one to be labeled a traitor!”

The regiment commander of the garrison regiment's face became extremely ugly. To be honest, he didn't know how much truth there was in the other side's words.

He was also a little suspicious of Commander Koch's motives. After all, no matter how you look at it, the probability of a Deputy Commander launching a coup and succeeding is too low.

Could it be that what the other side said is true, and his commander is really going to launch a suppression and purge of the Army Academy faction?

The regiment commander shook his head, suppressing the speculation in his heart. As Koch's direct confidant, he must resolutely implement all of Koch's instructions.

Since he couldn't persuade them, he had no choice but to resolve it with force.

Without any room for maneuver, the two sides immediately began fighting!

… …

On the streets of Frost Star City, under the leadership of Roman, the fully mobilized First Special Operations Regiment marched extremely quickly.

They soon arrived near the Grand Duke's Palace. After meeting with Redinoz and other senior military officers, they directly launched a strong attack on the palace!

The Grand Duke's Guards, who were originally stationed in the palace, had been temporarily relieved of their duties and transferred to the Gendarmerie Headquarters for centralized management not long ago due to Shepard's reasons.

Therefore, the troops currently guarding the Grand Duke's Palace are also from the Capital Garrison Command, two independent brigades under Koch.

Although they are loyal enough, their combat power is certainly not as good as the Guards, who have 'Regular Grade' strength, and they are also not as good as the Special Operations Forces under Roman.

As soon as the attack signal was launched, the entire Grand Duke's Palace was immediately plunged into panic.

Immediately following was a soaring aura rising from the ground.

The angry voice of the Grand Duke's Legendary-tier personal guard, Valen, came:

“The Army Provost Marshal!

And the Third Field Army, the Commander of the Southeast Military Region, the President of the Army Officer Academy…

And people from the Special Operations Division!

What… what exactly do you want to do? Are you rebelling?”

Before the voice fell, another Legendary-tier aura erupted.

Prince Haugh once again faced Valen, and the two launched a shocking duel!

… …
