5. Upheaval in the Near East (Part 2)

The midsummer sun burns the dry earth, and there is not even a trace of wind in the hot air, making people sleep drowsy.

Under such hot temperatures, most people will not have any hard work.

So, after shelving the morning agenda indefinitely as usual, and having a group lunch as usual, the Sell Federal Senate members lazily prepared to close the door and get off work and enjoy a comfortable lunch break.

The Senate of the Serre Federation has never been at most for half a day, and "can never solve any major domestic and international problems."

Many fat male MPs, while burping their teeth with toothpicks, began to discuss their trip this afternoon. They whispered to each other, whether it was time to take a bath in the luxurious steam room on Walnut Street and clean up the dirt in their bodies: or to go to the "Happy Island" nightclub in Lakethayeamban, north of the city to have fun. It is said that the newly purchased dark elf girls on the island over there were quite good massages and oral activities. They could make people feel happy in a few minutes with just a red chun and a few fingers...

As for other female congressmen with heavy makeup, they were circulating with interest the summer product leaflets of several boutique women's clothing stores, jewelry stores, pet stores and cosmetics stores in the city, or showing off their new fashions and jewelry they just bought. If they have a close relationship, they may also use folding fans to cover their mouths and sting, communicating the wonderful experience of a red-card boy in a certain afternoon shop last night. In the luxury and decayed upper class, men can certainly have fun in time and have fun, and women can also find their own life pleasure, right?

Perhaps these unfair and serious comments are too enthusiastic and involve all the energy of people. So the members of the parliamentarians seem to have not noticed that the red-robed colleagues who did not enjoy lunch after the morning meeting and made excuses to leave in a hurry. Well, anyway, they were originally a group of unpopular and old-fashioned guys, so they left after leaving. So, just a moment later, a sudden burst of alarm bells broke the lazy atmosphere that filled the Senate.

, "What the hell is going on? What kind of chaos happened in the city?"

, "Is it because the starving ghosts in the north who broke out again to grab grain? Or is there a fire in the slums in the suburbs?"

"As the sacred and inviolable senior member of the Federal Councillor of Serg, I ask the relevant responsible personnel to give a reasonable explanation to the Senate as soon as possible for the highest level alert this time!"

After hurriedly turning back to the Senate Hall, the members who had not left work slapped the tables and started to make noises, in order to vent their extreme dissatisfaction with the delayed afternoon corruption plan.

The sixth feeling of being relatively sensitive, Ms. Margaret, the first "Oslow" of the Leatherman witch, frowned and noticed that Han Daer, the new head of the Sel Federation, the chief instructor of the Undead Department of the Red Robe Mage, and several other members of the parliamentary background who were born or supported by the Red Robe Mage, all missed the hasty reopened emergency meeting and didn't know where to go.

1 Although it has been a while since the Senate ended its agenda, many members of other factions are absent. They probably have returned home and cannot catch up for a while.

But when it comes to the strange behavior of these red-robed mages leaving early without attending the group lunch in the Senate, Ms. Margaret was quietly covered with an ominous haze in the heart of Ms. Margaret...

Sure enough," her ominous premonition was soon fulfilled.

As time went by, the rapid alarm bells did not subside, but there were sporadic gunshots and explosions coming from afar and becoming increasingly dense. Looking out from the Senate in the city highlands, you could vaguely see the sound of black smoke lingering in the hall above the streets and alleys gradually lowering. Even the most noisy congressman couldn't help but close his mouth after shouting, just occasionally exchanging a few eyes, and at the same time, he looked at the stairs in front of the hall nervously, as if a group of prisoners waiting for the coming of judgment.

First, I don’t know whether the judge, the amnesty or the servant who broke into this place next?

After a moment, when a young officer covered in smoke and blood stains rushed into the Senate Hall and bowed to Ms. Margaret's ear and whispered, "The Lord of the First "Oslow", who has always been graceful and noble, has always been happy and angry, finally couldn't help but lose his mind. A green porcelain tea cup originally held in her hand fell to the ground with a "splash" and shattered into countless tiny porcelain pieces.

Seeing that the First Lord Oslow was so out of control, the MPs in the hall immediately exploded with a "bang". Some people fell from the chair in fear, and some people rushed up in anger, grabbed the officer who reported the news and asked for details. The scene was extremely chaotic for a moment.

After being almost knocked down by the bad news, Margaret held the back of the chair with her arms, supported the shaking body, struggled to mow a delicate little silver bottle from her arms, poured a little salt in front of her nose, and then she barely got rid of the fainting.

Brother...pa!pa!caojing!sujing!sujing! please listen to me!"

Looking up at the restless MPs in the hall, she first slammed the high-high, trying to calm the panicked people, but it did not have any effect. So, the First Lord Oslo had to sigh helplessly, get up and walk to the podium in the center of the hall. He raised the small wooden hammer engraved with the magic circle Wenlu, adjusted the volume to the maximum level, and then smashed it with all his strength.

I rumble!!!

Accompanied by a deaf thunder, the senators who were already in hysteria finally covered their buzzing ears, stopped the noise, then looked at each other for a few times before staggering back to their seats.

Ms. Margaret took a deep breath and stood quietly for a moment. When everyone's hearing basically recovered, the voice opened aloud...

, "Dear ladies and gentlemen, please stay calm. Here, I have an unfortunate news to inform you: the Red-robed wizards, led by our current head of the federal federal, Han Zuersheng, brazenly launched an armed rebellion at noon today. They have broken into the capital's pawn area, occupying many important blocks in the Neifeng, including the Elf Concession, and are in fierce exchange of fire with the capital guards directly under the Senate!"

In an instant, it was like a stone being thrown into the summer pond, and the croaking sound of frogs immediately spread.

, "Handal, the dead ghost who played with the corpse, actually launched a coup? Oh my god! Where did he get the army? Could it be that the dozens of undead apprentices in the Red Robe Mage Arcane Academy, plus a bunch of unsuitable zombies and skeleton soldiers?"

A fat-headed and big-eared MP stood up with a look of surprise, yelling loudly, "How long does it take for our Guards to end this chaos? Have anyone sent to protect our mansions and avoid being robbed by the dirty mobs?"

, "Yes, yes!" Other members of the parliament also cheered, "I ask the Guards to pay attention to protecting the safety of our residence and property!"

Ms. Margaret's face suddenly felt a helpless and bitter smile on her face.

, "I'm sorry, everyone, the enemy's strength is probably much stronger than you imagined!"

She once again gently tapped the small gavel on the podium and whispered to the members of the parliament, "... According to the reconnaissance of the frontline officers, the troops involved in the coup are estimated to be more than 10,000." The numbers included the Northeast Frontier Defense Forces, which were supposed to be stationed in Winter Fort, the Federal Fleet Sailors in the Port of Byzantu in the south, as well as some sporadic nobles and mercenaries, etc., and were equipped with a large number of heavy artillery and iron golems!"

Speaking of this, looking at the members of the parliamentary who had slightly changed faces, Oslow, the first of the Leatherman Witch Association, also paused for a moment. "It is obvious that our head of state is really a long-planned yin strategist! In order to get rid of the shackles of the federal constitution and the republic system and establish the evil dictatorship of the Red Robe Mage, he not only tried his best to mobilize these troops from afar, but also successfully deceived us for such a long time about an hour ago. "The Capital Guard Command noticed the abnormal movement in the suburbs and issued an emergency alarm: Now, one-quarter of the entire capital has fallen into the enemy! And the Guards are still retreating step by step!"

Only... In this way, the Federal Senate we are in now should be the main target of the coup army?"

Another tall and thin MP seemed to finally calm down and stood up calmly to ask. "Dear Ms. Oslow, please be sure to tell us honestly how long your guards can last and whether they can establish a solid line of defense in the city?"

"...This... Although our guards are familiar with the terrain, they only have more than 3,000 people and their equipment is not very good. In addition, the more than 1,000 elves that have not yet been withdrawn, less than half of the enemy. What's more, because the incident suddenly began, many soldiers were rushed to the fore at the first time...,...

Ms. Margaret hesitated for a moment and decided to tell the truth, "Although the loyal and brave officers and soldiers of our troops should have the confidence to insist on street fighting in the capital and continue to deal with the rebels of the Red Robe Mages, given the insufficient troops and the chaos of the battle, and the enemy has entered the city, it may be difficult to ensure the safety of your lives and property! Therefore, I suggest that you return to your residence immediately to pack your luggage and go to a safe place to take refuge as soon as possible..."

Immediately afterwards, she announced the last new bill, "In order to extinguish this rebellion as soon as possible and restore the stability and order of the federal capital Eltaber City, I propose to immediately issue an order to combat rebellion and attack to Lesserman, Sesque and surrounding provinces, announce that the Red-Boat Mage who launched the coup is a traitor, and invite troops from all provinces to enter Beijing to fight the thieves and quell the rebellion! And all the qualifications of members and heads of state suspected of rebellion will be deposed, so that in order to judge and convict in the future, please hurry up and start raising your hands to vote now!"

“Agree!”

“Agree!”

"No objection!"

The panicked members of the parliament raised their right hands one after another. Although the quorum was not reached, they still passed the proposal unanimously without any suspense. However, in this short counting time, the sound of gunfire outside the Senate suddenly became even more intense. Several shells even roared and hit the solid courtyard wall, causing the hall to tremble slightly, and a lot of dust fell from densely green.

Listening to the sound of gunfire, Ms. Margaret's face suddenly became even more ugly. After finally reaching the counting, she knocked on the hammer and announced the proposal to pass. She dropped the hammer. She lifted the hem of the skirt covered with lace and rushed out the door. However, a bloody guard lieutenant rushed across from the opposite side, almost colliding with her head in front of the door.

Before Ms. Margaret could not have time to be angry, she was shocked by the latest bad news brought by the lieutenant.

, "It's amazing! First Lord Oslo! The barbaric Tukan people! Many barbaric Tukan cavalry have entered the city! There are also vampires and blasphemous priests of the Dragon Witch Cult! Those damn rebellious red-robed mages actually colluded with the Tukan Khanate and the Dragon Witch Cult!"

The guard lieutenant who broke into the Senate, covered the blood-stained tui and grinned, "Although no brothers are cowards, the number of people is too small and there is no preparation in advance. Even the shotgun was too late to drag it to the street. He could not withstand the fierce shells of the rebels and the repeated charges of the Tukan cavalry.

There are also those victims from the north who have been making trouble behind us since the beginning of the battle. The enemy will soon reach the Senate. We can't hold on for much time. Please make a decision quickly, Mr. Parliamentarians!"

, "Hiss! They actually invited all the cavalry of the Tukan Khanate? This is simply treason!!!"

Ms. Margaret, the first "Oslow" of the Leatherman witch, immediately felt that her eyes were dark. She was spinning for a while and almost fell down. After taking a deep breath again, she barely gritted her teeth, held the marble column to calm her body, thought for a while, then turned around and announced loudly to the members of the same no-person face: "Ladies and gentlemen, it seems that there is no time for you to go home to pack your luggage! However, there is a small path at the back door of the Senate that can directly lead to Selbourne Lake." There are several yachts on the dock by the lake. Now let's set off as soon as possible and take the waterway to Leatherman to take refuge!

Remember, this is only a temporary retreat, and our glorious federal senate can never succumb to the threat of the traitor!"

A moment later," a weak response sounded among the depressed and frightened crowd.

Another half an hour later, Handal, the head of state of the federal government who launched this military coup, was surrounded by a team of red-robed mages, standing on a steep cliff in the north of the city, looking calmly at the sparkling Selbach Lake in the north. "Several yachts, cargo ships and ferries of various sizes, loaded with fugitives in various costumes, rushed to the dock in panic, sailing away.

Behind him is the Senate Hall, which has been occupied by the red-robed mages, and a group of dejected prisoners of the capital guards. The winding streets and alleys are everywhere, and the lingering smoke and fire are everywhere.

As the members of the parliamentary group left their troops and fled in a hurry, the remaining capital guards completely lost their fighting spirit. Without any resistance, they gave up the federal Senate complex as strong as a fortress, took off their military uniforms and went home quietly, or surrendered on the spot, or followed the parliamentary members to the shore of Lake Sellanbo, trying to compete for a escaped cabin to build the Senate. The layers of defensive magic circles that seemed to have played no role at all, fell into the hands of the coup army intact.

From then on, the Senate of the Serre, which had been standing for five centuries in the city of Eltaber, the nominal supreme center of power in the entire Near East of the Feren continent, after a short and fierce battle, finally fell into Handal's hands. Although he was presided over the meeting as the Supreme Head of State just a few hours ago, the feeling was very different: one was just a marionette of the Leatherman Witch Association, and the rubber stamp "but now he is truly proud and in power!

Only...ah ahem, Lord Handal, why don't you order the pursuit of these former colleagues who fled in a hurry?"

Samust walked over at some point and complained to Handal, "Even if you can't collect ships by the lake, don't you have two griffins under your command? Let your griffin knight fly over and bomb it, and try to see if it can be eradicated?"

, "Thank you for your concern, Samust Pavilion, but now it is important to stabilize the situation in the city, so there is no need to do anything else..."

Head of State Handal turned around, with a faint smile on his face, "The current members of the Sergeant House of Serge are either lackeys of the Leatherman Witch Association, or representatives and spies placed in the capital by various forces at home and abroad. Each member of the parliament seems to be high-sounding and has a high position and a powerful person. In fact, there is someone behind it. He does not have much power, so it is meaningless to kill them here.

Moreover, in one of these boats, there should be the first "Letherman Witch" Oslow, Margaret. Haha, this hereditary female politician who wants to enjoy and likes to pretend to be nèn, although her political level and ability are not very good, her magic level is definitely first-class and powerful.

It seems not difficult for us to try to scare her off, but if we insist on knocking down and killing her, the lady's dying counterattack in despair will probably cause us heavy losses that cannot be recovered!

So, for the sake of safety, we should just say "Save guests safely!"

He raised his head and looked at the city of Eltabo, which happened to be suffering from a war. "I couldn't help but sigh quietly."

Moreover, there are many enemies around the capital, and the various garrisons around the Gyeonggi have not yet expressed their attitude. There are so many things that we need to rely on to seize the time to do. Every minute of the troops and resources must be used on the blade. It is really impossible and there is no need to give too much power to a dog that falls into the water..."

Speaking of this, Head of State Handal couldn't help but clench his fists and sighed: "Everything is just beginning!"

After hearing this extremely conservative explanation, Samust frowned at first, but then rolled his eyes again, as if he had thought of something." He immediately smiled at his allies, "Ahem, right, you said it well, everything is just the beginning!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.

Behind them, a blood-red setting sun slowly slid down in the curling smoke.

On the 1st day, the Red Rou Mage Association, which had been dormant for many years, secretly joined forces with the Dragon Witch Cult and the Tukan Khanate to launch a military coup in the city of Eltaber, the capital of the Serb Federation, the largest country in the Near East. It defeated the Federal Senate in just half a day and controlled the capital and its surrounding areas.

The next day, Han Daer, the former head of the Federation of Serre and the chief mentor of the Undead Department of the Red Painting Master, convened ambassadors from various countries and announced that the "stale, hypocritical and inappropriate federal system" would be abolished from then on. In Serre, he restored the former tyrannical rule of the Red Painting Master. He was collectively led by the Supreme Committee composed of the chiefs of the eight university schools and served as the interim chairman. He also formed a "strategic partnership" with the grassland overlord Tukan Khanate to deal with the counterattack of other members of the former federal.

On September 15, more than 200 members of the federal Senate who escaped from the war and took a boat north to shelter to Leatherman gathered in the southern city of Mueoantin, the mountain country, announced the establishment of a federal government in exile, and issued an order to suppress the rebellion and suffrage, calling on the governors, generals and commanders of various provinces to send troops quickly to fight against the "pseudo-government" of Eltaber City to restore the sacred law of the Federation.

For a moment, the whole country was in an uproar, friendly countries were shocked, and the near East was shocked!

At this point, a drastic change that swept across the Near East has begun vigorously.

However, for the unprecedented war that is about to come, this seemingly huge near East drama is just the prelude to the opening...
