Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 707 Rescuing the Emperor
"The palace is gone?" King Fanyang suppressed his shock. He had already led his troops into the Eastern Capital.

Following the current progress, once the cause of supporting the emperor is restored, the next step is to rescue him.

The problem is that things are developing in a way that has exceeded his expectations.

"What exactly is the situation?" Prince Fanyang asked in a low voice.

There is no turning back now.

If he dares to say he's withdrawing his troops now, he'll be the first one to die.

His confidants were all aware of his grand plan to rebel.

If he backs down now, Prince Fanyang, as a member of the royal family, might not necessarily die, but the others would at least face confiscation of their property and extermination of their families.

"According to the intelligence from our scouts, yes." The advisor explained the general situation.

The Prince of Fanyang's eyes widened in disbelief. He had never imagined that there was such a secret behind the adoption incident back then.

"What about Emperor Zhang and the four kings and eight dukes?" King Fanyang hurriedly asked again.

These two are the most important.

What the Prince of Fanyang desperately wanted to hear was that Emperor Zhang and the four princes and eight dukes had killed the enemy at the cost of their own serious injuries.

However, the reality plunged the Prince of Fanyang into despair.

“Missing.” The aide’s voice trembled slightly.

As a confidant of the Prince of Fanyang, his understanding of Emperor Zhang and the Four Kings and Eight Dukes was comparable to that of the Prince of Fanyang.

It was precisely because of this that he realized how powerful Emperor Zhang was.

"But in my opinion, Emperor Zhang and the four princes and eight dukes are probably dead." As the advisor said this, he couldn't help but swallow.

He couldn't imagine who could possess such power.

When the Prince of Fanyang heard this, he was also shocked.

Although he was mentally prepared, it was still hard to suppress his excitement when he heard the speculation from his staff.

“But Your Highness, rest assured,” the advisor immediately said. “Even if this man wins, he will certainly be in poor condition right now.”

"The emperors who formed the great power of the four kings and eight dukes were no ordinary people."

"Moreover, the other party has no power or influence, and now is the perfect opportunity for Your Highness to come to the rescue."

"Fortunately, the prince acted decisively and advanced his troops into the Eastern Capital in time. If we had waited for the situation to stabilize, we don't know when we would have had such a good opportunity again."

After hearing this analysis, Prince Fanyang also felt that it made sense.

The four kings and eight dukes may be dead, but it's unrealistic to say that those who carried out the attack paid no price at all.

Perhaps the other party was already seriously injured, which prevented the situation from becoming too turbulent.

"You're right." The various worries that King Fanyang had been having gradually subsided.

However, the staff did not have much substantial evidence for these speculations.

He said these things to the Prince of Fanyang purely to comfort him.

Because he sensed the Prince of Fanyang's subtle intention to retreat, he needed to dispel that intention.

The Prince of Fanyang was patient and discreet, a trait that had both advantages and disadvantages.

Because of his long period of seclusion, if trouble were to arise, the Prince of Fanyang might want to remain in seclusion for a while longer.

It's essentially an instinctive concession, and there's even a possibility of wavering or indecisive behavior.

It can be said that he was willing to do great things but also cherished his life.

Of course, the fact that the Prince of Fanyang was getting old also played a part.

Therefore, as an advisor, he spoke up only after he understood what the Prince of Fanyang was thinking.

In fact, he still hasn't recovered, but under the threat of death and the pressure of fulfilling his duty to the emperor, he can only suppress his emotional discomfort and speak.

"It's all thanks to Your Highness." Seeing that Prince Fanyang had given up the idea of ​​returning, the advisor also flattered him and attributed the credit to the prince.

"Ah, this old codger really knows how to seize an opportunity," Chu Danqing couldn't help but say. "But the timing was certainly perfect."

As Chu Danqing spoke, he glanced at the newly refreshed hidden quest and casually accepted it.

[Hidden Mission: Before dawn, kill King Fanyang and all the accompanying deities, and defeat the loyalist army]

[Trial Difficulty: SS Rank (Hell)]

[Trial Reward: Paradise Points x 30000, Attribute Points +6]

[Trial Failed: Paradise Points -60000, Random Attribute -3]

The difficulty level isn't too high; the SS-level difficulty lies more in the time commitment.

Chu Danqing checked the time; there were only a little over two hours until dawn.

He realized that the difficulty lay in the time and the number of enemies.

Their overall strength is not strong; at most, they only have one fourth-tier deity in their team.

It's impossible for it to go any higher. If there were really a 5th tier, the Prince of Fanyang would have rebelled long ago. Why would he need to hide?

Even worse, it might not even be Tier 4, only Tier 3.

After all, the power of gods is linked to faith, so where would the King of Fanyang find so much faith to support the gods?

"Brother Chu, what should we do?" Lu Wanyi became anxious and said, "This Prince of Fanyang must be here to usurp the throne."

The crowd's expressions were strange. "You two are the ones who've come to usurp the throne, aren't you?"
Compared to Chu Danqing and the others, the Prince of Fanyang had a better reputation; he was low-key and seemed more like a loyal minister.

"Of course it is," Chu Danqing said immediately. "I just didn't expect him to be so bold as to come and kill us before he had even collected all four kinds of livestock and eight kinds of sacrificial beads."

"I thought he would continue to lie low."

Upon hearing Chu Danqing's tone, everyone understood that she knew something. The Empress immediately asked, "Your Majesty, what does this mean?"

“That’s right.” Lu Wanyi immediately explained the general situation.

The Empress was stunned, never expecting that a prince who was usually inconspicuous would actually plot a rebellion.

This terrified her and left her completely bewildered.

When Lu Wanyi was in power, she remained the Empress Dowager, and her son was also the Emperor.

The three of them belong to a community of shared destiny.

But the Prince of Fanyang is different; the other party is a member of the royal family, so there's definitely no problem with him ascending the throne.

Upon hearing this, the remaining people had different thoughts.

They are considering whose side they should lean towards.

If they can defeat Chu Danqing in the selection of the crown prince, the next ten years or so will belong to the ministers.

However, the problem is that even if they win, it seems useless, as Chu Danqing's strength is enough to beat them to a pulp.

Choosing the Prince of Fanyang has the advantage that things are unlikely to change much, returning to the starting point, and perhaps even advancing further if one personally goes to greet him.

The downside is that the opponent has a team, so there's not much room for improvement for us, and Fan Yangwang's chances of winning are rather slim.

Chu Danqing managed to make Emperor Zhang and the four kings and eight dukes 'disappear'. If the Prince of Fanyang had such ability, why would he need to come to the capital now?

They had long been sitting on the throne, waiting for them to pay homage.

"That's easy to solve. I've killed many large armies, and I usually ask my friends for help when I encounter this situation," Chu Danqing said.

Apart from Lu Wanyi, no one else could understand what kind of friends Chu Danqing could have.

Even if we look for him, can he come over right away?

"Is it that Guo Ming, the young man?" Lu Wanyi felt that if Guo Ming really came again, then everything would be settled.

“No, how could he possibly handle such a large army by himself?” Chu Danqing said honestly. “We need professionals.”

Lu Wanyi thought it was possible, after all, the palace had been razed to the ground.
But Chu Danqing said to let the professionals handle it, so she didn't object.

She felt that since Chu Danqing was confident, there must be no problem.

[You summoned Covenant Target No. 2. This time, you consumed Paradise Points x 10.]

[Covenant No. 2 has responded]

As the Dragon Gate appeared, Xiong Shigang stepped out immediately.

With his strength reaching level 3, Kumashigaoka no longer needed time to assemble his army as before.

It's simply a matter of talent and skills; you can just seduce people.

"Mr. Chu, did you just go through a major battle?" Xiong Zhigang asked.

“Yes, Brother Guo just finished a fight during the day, and tonight some people are trying to take advantage of the situation. There are quite a few of them, so we had no choice but to send you, Commander Xiong,” Chu Danqing said.

Upon hearing this, Xiong Zhigang smiled and said, "Finally, I have a chance to use my skills. I've been feeling quite stifled these past few days."

He mainly felt embarrassed because he had been receiving benefits from Chu Danqing but hadn't had many opportunities to appear recently.

"That'll be soon. It seems that the fusion of Maomao and Qingying has made further progress. Maybe next time you'll be able to pilot a mecha with them," Chu Danqing said.

These words made Xiong Zhigang's expression brighten. This was good news, as he had been eyeing the cat mecha for a long time.

However, due to the unique nature of his legion-based strategy, he is indeed quite difficult to deal with.

The main problem is that the Goddess of Cats is too feline, so it's unrealistic to expect her to develop these kinds of abilities on her own.

It would be more comfortable to lick your fur or play with a fur ball than to waste time on that.

Therefore, Li Qingying can only handle it slowly, since she has the easiest job.

"Very good, very good, I'm eagerly awaiting good news from Qingying," Xiong Zhigang said immediately.

Seeing the two start chatting, Lu Wanyi hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.

"Brother Chu, this General Xiong, the Prince of Fanyang may be arriving soon," Lu Wanyi said with some helplessness.

This isn't just an attack on the city, it's an invasion! How come you two aren't nervous at all?

"Please forgive me, ma'am, we've talked for a while now. May I ask where this traitor is? I'll go and get his head," Xiong Zhigang said, somewhat embarrassed.

As soon as he said that, someone brought him intelligence.

Xiong Zhigang glanced at it and immediately cupped his hands in greeting: "Mr. Chu, please wait a moment, I'll be right back."

Having said that, they set off according to the intelligence report.

At the same time, the two skills, "Hidden Generals in the Heart" and "Hidden Soldiers in the Belly," unleash both civil and military soldiers.

The moment the troops appeared, they brought with them a chilling military pressure, making everyone present, except for Chu Danqing and his group, feel immense pressure.

This is just a restraint, not a full release.

Watching the soldiers depart, Lu Wanyi came to her senses. She really hadn't expected that Chu Danqing's so-called expertise was to send an army so powerful that she couldn't even imagine it to quell the rebellion.

No, she felt this might not be a suppression of a rebellion, but a massacre.

At the same time, those disloyal court officials and relatives all fell silent and became obedient.

They actually have a powerful army, so powerful that even gods cannot defeat them.

There are still things one can do when one is alone, since a person's energy is limited.

However, Chu Danqing's army is strong and well-equipped. If he were to carry out his plan, a troop of soldiers might crush his own mansion on the same day, and his entire family might hang their heads at the east gate.
