Chapter 1020: Central Shock

Warm rays of sunlight poured down from the sky.

A winding path made of loess stretched between the green hills.

On this small dirt road, two carriages were moving westward at a leisurely pace.

Around the two carriages, there were about twenty people.

These twenty people were riding pack horses, some of them wearing light armor and holding weapons, and some wearing ordinary clothes.

This group of people was Falk's caravan.

Enli and Ilsa sat in the carriage specially used for luggage. Although they were much more comfortable than those who could only ride horses outside, there were some uncomfortable aspects of riding in the carriage.

For example - too bumpy.

Because Falk's two carriages were originally used to transport luggage, the styles of these two carriages were the most common carriages.

Carriages all have different styles.

Some expensive carriages, because of the different design and materials of the carriages, make the whole vehicle stable enough to allow people in the carriage to sit more comfortably.

And those ordinary carriages, such as Falk's two carriages, are definitely not that comfortable to sit in.

Enli and Ilsa sat opposite each other in the carriage, looking at each other with helpless expressions.

"Miss Lotta." Enli smiled bitterly, "Please be patient."

"Enli, no need to say more." Ilsa smiled, "I am not the kind of ignorant young lady. At this time, if I still pick and choose and complain that the carriage is not stable enough, then I will be too unreasonable."

"I am not so weak that I can't even sit in a slightly bumpy carriage."

Enli used his one eye to carefully look at Ilsa in front of him.

After pursing his lips, Enli asked Ilsa the question he wanted to ask most now.

"Miss Lotta, are you... okay now?"

In order to cover up, Enli asked a very obscure question.

However, Ilsa still understood what Enli meant.

Enli meant: After the mutiny last night, are you okay now?

After all, Enli was quite worried: After experiencing the sudden mutiny last night, would Elsa have a breakdown and become depressed because of the shock or fright?

After hearing Enli's question, Elsa was stunned for a while.

Then she sighed softly.

"To be honest... I still feel confused... I don't have any clue in my head."

"When I think of those who are still in danger of death, I am so anxious that I just want to cry..."

"I don't know what to do next, I don't know what I can do now..."

"But."

Elsa suddenly changed the subject.

"No matter how helpless I feel, I have to grit my teeth, be strong and powerful."

"What happened last night was a big blow to me, but I will not be defeated."

"I,

and this country, will not lose."

Although Elsa's voice was light, her firm tone made every word she said heavy.

Hearing Elsa's answer, Enli couldn't help but smile a little.

Obviously, the current situation of the empire is so bad, and there is no news that can make people optimistic. But after listening to what Ilsa said just now, Enli had a strange feeling - as long as Ilsa is still there, their Britannia Empire will not lose!

...

...

Enli and Ilsa didn't know that when they were riding on Falk's ride and walking on the way back to Pendragon, a crisis as powerful as the siege of the army was quietly happening in Pendragon.

At some point, a message suddenly came out of Pendragon:

Alan led the Uriel Knights and the Armored Warriors to launch a mutiny! Now they are turning their troops and heading straight for Pendragon! Emperor Ilsa has died in the mutiny!

The speed of news spreading - especially the speed of bad news spreading, has always been as fast as the speed of plague spreading.

After waiting for several days, the central government of the Britannia Empire finally took action and began to curb the spread of this bad news whose source was unknown.

Unfortunately, by the time the Britannia Empire took action to stop the spread of the bad news, it was too late.

In just a few days, most of the citizens of Pendragon had already known the news and the bad news.

The people in the city were already in a panic, not knowing whether the news was true or false.

Some people said that this was fake news deliberately spread by the Frank Empire in Pendragon to shake their people's hearts.

Some people said that the news was true, and Allen really launched a mutiny in the Yeni River, not only killing Her Majesty Elsa, but now turning his troops to Pendragon.

Some people said that although Allen did launch a mutiny, Her Majesty Elsa did not die.

Some people said that Allen did not lead the Uriel Knights and the Armored Warriors to attack Pendragon. He led his troops to the Rhineland Plain and planned to join forces with the Frankish army entrenched in the Rhineland Plain.

...

There are all kinds of rumors.

Not only the people, but also the ministers in the central government of the Britannia Empire were in a panic, not knowing which rumor was true.

Ilsa led the army in person, and Jacob accompanied Ilsa to the front line, so now the backbone of the central government has become Bankro.

Bankro has always been the second-in-command under Jacob. In terms of ability and reputation, only Jacob can surpass him.

After Elsa led the army, Elsa personally appointed Bankro to handle various affairs of the central government after she and Jacob were gone.

However, Bankro was obviously negligent this time.

When the news of "Alan's mutiny" and "Her Majesty Elsa's death" was widely spread in Pendragon, he did not take timely action to stop the spread of the news.

Fortunately, Bankro took remedial measures in time, trying his best to suppress the spread of this unidentified bad news, and prohibited all ministers in the central government from discussing the matter.

However, this rumor, which came from an unknown source but sounded particularly realistic, also made Bankro feel a little uneasy.

While trying his best to suppress the spread of this bad news, Bankro sent a large number of people to investigate the truth of the news.

A few days later, a piece of news like a bolt from the blue shook the center of the Britannia Empire.

Allen really led the Uriel Knights and the Armored Warriors to Pendragon!

The news caused a great earthquake in the center of the Britannia Empire.

Even Bankro was shocked and speechless for a long time after hearing the news.

Under the chairmanship of Bankro, a big meeting was quietly prepared.

And the content of the discussion at this big meeting was: Should Pendragon be defended or not?
