Chapter 617: 617 - - The 67th Chosen Life

A tremendous roar rang out. Immediately after, a heat wave swept through Almond and the others.

"Report the damage!

Almond quickly regained his position and called out to the soldiers around him. His well-trained soldiers were already in position.

"Zero casualties!　Zero wounded!"

Survey the damage!

The soldiers spread out in a fan shape and surrounded the front gate. Despite being caught in a rather large explosion, no one occupying the gate seemed to be injured. They were holding small barrels in their hands, ready to self-destruct at any moment, to intimidate Almond and his men.

Then they heard an explosion.

They looked in the direction of the sound and saw black smoke rising from near the palace. Almond immediately made a decision.

"Leave!"

His words came as a surprise to the soldiers, who rolled their eyes in amazement. But Almond continued to speak calmly.

"Didn't you hear me? Leave now!"

Almond ordered, and turned his horse's head toward the palace.

The palace was now a place of peace and quiet.

At the site of the second explosion, not much damage was done. The explosion occurred in the garden of the palace, and only a part of the lawn was burned, but the fire was quickly extinguished. Almond checked the scene and quickly went back to the headquarters of the Imperial Army.

"How are you doing, Mr. Commander-in-Chief?"

When Almond returned to his room, one of his subordinates spoke to him in these words. There was no trace of anxiety or confusion on the man's face. He had a determined look on his face.

"What do you think, Dike?"

At Almond's words, the man called "Daike" straightens his back.

We should strike those who are occupying the front gate at once, sir.

Just as Almond was about to speak, the sound of explosions rang out again. A few moments later, the explosion sounded again.

Sir, black smoke is rising again from the direction of the palace!

"Go and investigate at once."

"Ha!"

The men leave the room as quickly as they can. Almond, watching the scene, opens his mouth to Dikeh, who is standing in front of him.

"First, bring back those who went to the west gate and the back gate. Then we'll talk."

At his words, Dike bowed his head.

After confirming that the troops at the back and west gates had pulled out, Almond ordered his men to bring a map. He marked the locations of the explosions.

"Dear Commander-in-Chief: ......"

Again, Dikeh opens his mouth. Almond looks at the man.

"I still think we should hit the enemy in one fell swoop!

"Yeah. ......"

"We must decide on a time and strike the enemy at once. The enemy who has been released into the capital must have planted explosives, using the explosion of the gate guard as a signal. If so, if we can prevent the explosion of the gate guards in advance, there will be no explosion in the capital. As soon as the gate is seized, we must search for the enemy who is in the city.

That's a bit of a stretch.

"Dear Commander-in-Chief: ......"

"I can say, Dike, that your plan is the right one. They said they blockaded the capital on the orders of Your Highnesses Ohan and Kurahara. It is true that their highnesses gave the order. But we, the Imperial Army, have received no such order. Therefore, this is an opportunity for us to eliminate them and to block the movements of Their Highnesses and the nobles in return. But... It will be very difficult to find those who have slipped into the capital once we have taken control of the gate. I don't know what they will do when they find out that the gate has been seized! I don't care if the palace is broken or blown down. What I am most concerned about is that the people living in the capital will be harmed. I want to avoid that at all costs.

"So, what do you want me to do, Commander-in-Chief?"

Surround the main, west and back gates with an elite force.

"......"

"Whatever provocations the enemy may make, do not lay a hand on him. Surround each gate so that there is no room for ants to crawl.

Almond broke off and looked at Sheba, his second-in-command, who was standing by.

"And please inform the king of Agartha of the current situation.

"King Agartha, is it?"

"Yes. It is our duty to report to our sovereign, isn't it?"

"...... Commander-in-Chief, you wish the King of Agartha to appear before you?"

"Yes. If he makes his move, this situation will be under control within an hour. We must control their highnesses' initiative.

At Almond's words, Sheba left the room with a look of satisfaction on her face.

"Dike."

"Ha!"

"You are right. But I want to get this thing under control with the least amount of damage. By doing so, the confidence of our Imperial Army in the people of the capital will be greatly enhanced. It is inappropriate to say this, but ....... There is no guarantee that such a situation will not occur in the future. This incident is a good training for us.

"Ha ha."

"Don't look at me like that. It is only a guess, but it is likely that those who occupied the gate are not loyal to Their Highnesses. Of course, they were not the handiwork of the Marquis of Tskaka and his men. It was a death squad. We need to find out whose hand they are working with. But whoever is hiding in the capital with explosives is probably not as prepared as those who occupy the gates. And the explosives are probably not that powerful either. But ...... it is a different story when it is aimed at the people of the capital. If it is detonated in the middle of a residential area, there will be many casualties. And the victims would be women and children. That must be avoided.

"I understand what you are thinking, Commander-in-Chief."

Almond nodded slowly at Dike's words.

"I'll tell you what!"

Suddenly, one of the soldiers burst into the room with a bloodthirsty look on his face. Almond, with a calm expression on his face, greets the soldier.

The Marquis of Tskaka is here to see you.

"The Marquis of Tskaka?　...... You're here very early."

"I understand that you are here as an envoy."

"An imperial envoy?"

"Ha. He says he is here on your orders!"

Almond stood up, ordering them to let him through. A few moments later, the Marquis of Tskaka came walking with his chest out and his thighs wide open. He was followed by ten soldiers. All of them were junior officers, but all were children of noble families.

When the Marquis of Tskaka came in front of Almond, he sniffed.

"You use your own room to receive an imperial envoy. You have no ...... respect at all. In such a case, you should choose the right place. For example, ......"

Shall I take care of your business?

Almond, you!

The young officer lifts his eyes. But the Marquis of Tskaka quickly raises his hand to stop the man. The Marquis of Tskaka stops the man with a quick raise of his hand. He unfolded the letter in his hand, held it up, and bowed his head slightly.

"By order of the king!"

The officers standing by the Marquis hang their heads in unison. But Almond and the others look at them coldly.

"By order of the king!　What are you doing!　Bow your heads!　It is impious!"

The marquis looks as if he is surprised. But Almond and the others stand there in silence.

"...... Well, okay. ......Oh, yes. The royal decree. Almond Crawford, you are hereby relieved of your position as Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Army of Lamar. In your place, you will be replaced by the Chief of Staff of the Imperial Guard of Ramallon, the Marquis of Ramallon Kosan Tskaka. Acting Emperor of the Kingdom of Ramallon, Ramallon Crowe Orhan."

The Marquis of Tskaka read the edict, folded it carefully, and put it in his pocket with great care.

"So it is said. Almond. From now on you are a commoner. Now leave this place. And all those present are hereby relieved of their posts. You will leave now. The personnel of the Imperial Army will be announced shortly.

"Please wait ......"

"Wait."

Almond was about to speak when a man's voice interrupted him. It was Caries, Marshal of the Ramallon Imperial Guard. .......
