"Outer City!"
Upon hearing the news.
All the Iron Guard centurions in the main hall wore shocked expressions.
"I need more specific information."
Fang Yuan asked hurriedly.
"My lord."
"No."
"The Outer City is ablaze, and the City Guard has vanished."
Upon hearing this, Fang Yuan fell silent for a moment.
"It's already night."
"The rebellion began under cover of darkness."
"Sending troops to suppress it now won't be very effective."
"Pass down my order. The Iron Guard will defend Thorn Castle. From this moment on, no one is allowed to enter or leave."
"Yes, sir!"
Fang Yuan then turned to Qing Feng beside him.
"Go find Heidi."
"I want to know the exact situation."
"Yes!"
Gudrian, who stood beside him, asked,
"My lord."
"Are we still taking action against Prince Miller?"
Fang Yuan nodded.
"The sooner, the better."
"Gudrian."
"Take a team there personally. Control him if you get the chance."
"Yes!"
The unrest in the Outer City also threw the nobles of the Inner City into panic.
At the Sixth Prince's residence.
Although Fang Yuan controlled him.
The Sixth Prince still possessed an independent will.
When Fang Yuan did not appear, the Sixth Prince was no different from usual.
The nobles brought the news to him.
"The cause of the unrest in the Outer City is still unclear."
"Order the Imperial Guard to secure the city gates immediately. We'll deal with everything tomorrow."
Night was not a good time to suppress a rebellion.
The key issue was that there were no troops.
Compared to the Outer City's enormous population and territory.
The nobles and private soldiers of the Inner City.
Their numbers were still far too small.
The wisest choice was to let the situation descend into chaos first.
Then resolve it at daybreak.
