I BECAME A SKULL IN ANOTHER WORLD WITH THE LABYRINTH MASTER'S WORK.
CHAPTER 216: THE EMPEROR'S PALACE IS ATTACKED
The emperor's palace was the most luxurious place in the entire Imperial capital, this, however, the most important person in the empire, the emperor, lived in this place so that both in terms of care and luxury, this place was the best in the entire capital.
Although most of the soldiers in the capital were rushing towards the gate where the rebels were attacking, there were still thousands of soldiers guarding the imperial palace. They were the most elite troops belonging to the emperor and tasked with guarding himself, but when he brought these guards to attack the Federation Master Labyrinth then half of the Emperor's bodyguard troops died due to Hergaf.
In the most luxurious room in the emperor's palace, an old man flew out of his sleep.
He immediately sat on his bed staring at the window, rather he was looking towards the city gate that was being attacked.
This old man had short white hair as well as a white beard, then he had a body that looked very muscular and strong, incompatible with his face that looked like an old man.
The old man's right hand was gone, he only had his left hand because he lost his right hand against Hergaf. This old man was none other than Ancient Emperor V, the person who led the entire Ancient Empire now.
The emperor looked at the gate with a gloomy face through his palace, before long the door of the room opened and a man stepped forward in front of the emperor and knelt.
This man has a body height of about 2.5 meters, he has long brown hair and a face that looks about 40 years old. Moreover, he had an extremely muscular body, compared to the emperor's body hence this man was in no way inferior in the slightest.
This man was wearing a silver armor that looked very strong, based on the form of armor he used then it could be thought that the position of this man in the empire was not at all low.
"Emperor, the gates of the capital have been attacked! According to some of the soldiers who reported, the troops who were attacking the capital were rebels from the north. According to the information I have obtained, both in terms of numbers or strength, these rebels are not just rebel groups that we have fought, he said, unless they are like trained soldiers so that if we do not provide assistance, the gatekeepers will lose! Emperor, what to do? Do I have to go to the gate and bring some troops to help fight the rebels there?", the man asked the emperor.
The emperor looked at the man silently, this man in front of him was none other than his most loyal right general, Derka.
As a confidant, the emperor always let Derka keep watch nearby even though the emperor was sleeping though. Therefore, Derka can report very quickly when she just woke up.
The Emperor looked back at the gate "Derka, do you think this is just a rebel attack?".
"What does the emperor mean?", asked Derka puzzled.
The Emperor had been with Derka long enough that he knew that this Derka was only strong, but in terms of intelligence then he was quite stupid. Therefore, it is not strange if Derka did not understand the meaning of the words of the emperor just now.
Hearing these words, even the foolish Derka knew what the emperor meant "Is it possible that members of the imperial family or Ark and the others used the rebels to distract the soldiers so they could kill the emperor? Very crafty! Actually who would dare to trap an emperor like this".
"Although I have some thoughts about the person who did all this, it is not good to regard others as criminals without any proof" the Emperor said with a smile "The rebels at the gate are just a diversion, their main goal is me! Derka, you must have understood what to do, right?".
"Emperor, I understand! Derka will gather all the guards to strengthen the palace guards, as long as Derka is not dead then no one should attack the emperor!", Derka said firmly, as long as Derka was not dead, then no one should attack the emperor, then he stood up and left the room to prepare for the guard after obtaining permission from the emperor.
"I don't think that the crown prince is this brave! Who persuaded him? Is that Kulen? No matter who it is, ever since you dared to fight me then I will definitely kill you, even if you are a crown prince!", said the emperor coldly, there was no doubt that the emperor would kill the crown prince as long as he tried to betray him.
...----------------...
On the other hand, Folk is now standing in front of nearly 10,000 rebel soldiers, they are now in a warehouse big enough in the capital that no one will find them here.
Not to mention that this huge storehouse belonged to the crown prince as well, it was almost impossible for the emperor to know their location.
In addition to Folk and 10,000 rebel forces, there are Nera, Lasha and Terfis also in this warehouse. Even so, they did not march with the soldiers but stood on the edge of the warehouse, after all Folk could not even give them any tasks. More precisely, the crown prince had already told that Nera and the others could move in any way, as long as they could kill the emperor then there was no need to bother following Folk's words.
"You all know the reason why we are all gathered here, after tonight the whole empire will change!", cried Folk in front of his soldiers "Some of you may die in the war this time, but remember well that your names will all be recorded in the future history of the empire! You will be remembered as the heroes who brought down the cruel emperor and restored the empire to its most prosperous time! As long as the crown prince can take the throne then the empire will rise again from poverty, you will be remembered as the hero who ended this poverty! Raise your weapons, kill all the soldiers belonging to the emperor, let the crown prince ascend the throne and bring prosperity again to the entire empire!".
"Aaaaa!", the soldiers around raised their weapons energetically, and, most of them have been deceived by Folk's saying that even if they die, their names will be recorded in history as heroes.
Seeing the surrounding soldiers getting excited, Folk smiled happily as everything went according to plan, only by making the soldiers become fighting spirit could they fight even better on the battlefield.
"Then what else are you waiting for? Attack, towards the emperor's palace!", cried Folk who took his sword then pointed to the emperor's palace.
The 10,000 rebel soldiers advanced without hesitation under Folk's words, they advanced with high fighting spirit without knowing that they were being taken advantage of.
