Chapter 62: The Coup d'état
The sound of horse hooves was clattering, and Zach and his group had left Xiannid Island and were riding their horses towards the city gate.
At this time, rumors were already flying in the city and people's hearts were floating.
Many residents have heard of unrest on the island of Sinnied, and a large number of troops are appearing near Goswellen.
The streets were already crowded with panicked residents, and the crowded crowd forced the group to slow down.
Fringira Weige, Yennefa, Zach, and the three of them were riding horses in parallel.
"I didn't expect that Philiba actually secretly turned to the Merchant Guild."
Flingila was born in the south, with the iconic short black hair of the Nifgads, and her beautiful appearance was a bit heroic.
Yennafa shook his head and guessed: "Maybe she knew about the emperor's decision to expel the sorcerer from the palace in advance, so she did this because she was unwilling to do so."
Yennefa looked at Zach again: "Where is Margarita? Why did you knock her out?"
Zach spread his hands and said, "Molfan knows too much, and it is absolutely impossible for you and Geralt to be half-hearted in the matter of Cialis, so I can only doubt Margarita. Of course, it's just suspicious, so I didn't take any serious action."
The rushing sound of horse hooves came from the front, and Vatir was driving the horse to the rear of the team. Perhaps because he heard the conversation of several people, he stopped aside: "Mr. Stuart guessed well, she was indeed a spy of Morfan."
Yennefa glanced at the spy chief in disgust: "Vatir, do you have any evidence? Margarita never got involved in politics, she only cared about her college and students."
It was hard for her to believe that her best friend was Moerfan's lackey.
The spy chief smiled and ignored the hostility of the sorcerer: "It is precisely because of this that she was caught by Morfan."
"What do you mean?"
"Since the Imperial Army captured Redania, the Nifgad Intelligence Institute has been tracking and recording the whereabouts of all warlocks..."
The surroundings were filled with noisy noise and cries. Vatir had to raise the volume:
"The captured witch hunters claimed that they killed all the apprentice warlocks in Aritusa, but that was too different from the number of bodies we found. So I have always suspected that some apprentice warlocks actually survived in prison, but their whereabouts are unknown..."
He raised his whip, whipped a civilian who was too close to him, and continued:
"You can probably guess that those female apprentices actually fell into the hands of the Merchant Guild behind Morfan and became hostages. Margarita couldn't help but become Morfan's spy. However, just last night, she made the right choice - and turned to our side again."
"So I called the wrong person?" asked Zach on the horse.
"It's true, Mr. Stuart." Vattier shrugged and continued to go to the rear of the team.
Zach was a little depressed.
Just now on Sinnied Island, after the narrative of Enshir and Vatir, Zach had figured out the entire process of this coup.
Only now did he know how many complicated conspiracies had occurred in this small city of Goswellen in the past two days.
First of all, the Merchant Guild behind Morfan had already penetrated into the imperial guards, and even instigated one of the two imperial guards, that is, the bald officer who was shot to death by Zach, - Ipol.
Moerfan disguised part of his army as civilians, hid in the city, and quickly controlled Xiannid Island after the coup began.
At the same time, he also placed Margarita as a spy next to Yennifal, so that he could monitor Zach himself.
Finally, Philiba was asked to repair the forbidden realm on Xiannid Island, trying to suppress all spellcasters, including Zach.
It can be said that Moerfan has done seamlessly in all aspects.
But none of this escaped the eyes of the emperor and Vatir.
Enhill is even more skilled.
He realized that Zach had an inexplicable persistence towards Cialis himself, and at the same time he knew that Morfan was obsessed with [Ancient Blood].
The emperor was keenly aware of the irreconcilable conflict between the two on the issue of "The Future of Xiri".
So he deliberately absent the banquet, creating conditions for the meeting between Morfan and Zach, and exposing this fundamental contradiction.
Morfan did not disappoint him - he directly tore his face with the black-haired mage.
The emperor did not confront Moerfan's siege, but did the opposite - completely exposing himself to risks.
He sent Vatir, whom he trusted the most, to carry out his mission.
After learning that his imperial guards had been rebelled, he sent the imperial guards who were still loyal to him to the city gate, and instead left the rebels by his side.
The purpose is to seduce the young duke into a trap.
But that's not enough. Zach's several moves have been shocking since he appeared.
Moerfan, who was extremely afraid of this, could not easily overturn the table.
To make the cautious Duke take the risk, he needs another push.
So Vatil successfully rescued Margarita's student on the eve of the coup, and the sorcerer who had no worries turned to Enhill and became a double-faced spy.
Because Margarita is closest to Zach, she was regarded as a relatively reliable source of information by Moerfan. After her nonsense, Moerfan was finally willing to take a gamble on the [Forbidden Magic Formation].
So the coup broke out this morning.
Zach turned his head and looked at the end of the team, just facing Emperor Enhill.
In order not to cause riots in the city, the emperor was wearing a hooded plainclothes—and this had a good effect. Few people had seen the emperor himself on the northern land, let alone the residents of Goswellenri.
In this bet, the emperor also put all the bets on.
He withdrew the layers of defense around him and exposed himself completely to Morfan's crazy attack.
Enhill also tied himself and Zach together in this way.
He was betting on something - Zach, the "magic", is really strong enough to crush the whole audience.
Of course, the consequence of losing is that Morfan was taken down from the throne and even died on the spot.
At the end of the bet, the [Forbidden Magic Formation], which could only disrupt the free magic, did not play any role in Zach, a formal mage with the [Magic Pool]. It only interfered with the hunting source pendant. After all, in order to save energy, the pendant would use the free magic as much as possible.
And the so-called [Forbidden Magic Formation] is not complicated, Zach quickly positioned the caster behind it - Philipba.
All conspiracies and tricks completely collapsed and disappeared before absolute power.
Morfan lost,
The emperor won.
Not only did he kill his competitors, but he also showed Zach his sincerity to surrender - you see, I have my life on you.
Zach nodded.
Whether it was a plan or a courage, the emperor suppressed the young duke.
Of course, luck is good - if my "foreign aid" is not strong enough, everyone will have to explain it to the Gastang Palace.
