The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria's Mandate of Heaven

Chapter 1441 Escape from Death
The guess of Otto I's aide-de-camp Carl Philip was correct. His subordinates had already set up a tight net in the direction of the palace, waiting for Otto I to slip into it. Even at this time, the real mastermind was still chatting and laughing with Otto I's queen.

"I'm curious, if my husband dies, what do you plan to do to face the wrath of the Wittelsbach family?"

"The anger of the Wittelsbach family? When you persecuted the Greek people, did you ever think about our anger?"

Queen Amalie blushed.

"When have we ever persecuted the Greeks? My husband has always been diligent and caring for the people. I have also built a welfare home and the most beautiful garden in the entire Balkans for you."

"Then why aren't you outsiders the ones who died? You aren't the ones who pay the taxes either."

"But this is the Kingdom of Greece, and the land we recovered is Greek."

"You also know that this is our land and we are the masters here!"

"But you invited us here."

"Have we invited you to come and do whatever you want?"

"We didn't do whatever we wanted. We even sacrificed our own wealth for this country."

"That's because you're stupid!"

"But you haven't answered my question yet."

"There are plenty of fools in this world who want to be king. At worst, we can just find someone else!"

In fact, he did not tell the whole truth. Without the promise of a big country, they would never have the courage to do so.

Even in the name of the people and democracy.
The melee in the city continued, and Otto I's aide-de-camp Carl Philip led his men to flee to the port, which was completely unexpected by the rebels.

Athens Defense Command.

"Marshal Ionis, something terrible has happened!"

A soldier covered in blood stumbled in, which made Ioannis Makrianos very satisfied. Although he knew about this, he did not participate in the rebellion. The image of a loyal person must not be lost, otherwise how can he win the trust of the next king?

Ioannis Markorianos did not allow the soldier to continue speaking, deciding to let his emotions run wild first.

Although Otto I had always trusted Ioannis Macorianos very much, he even handed over the most important defense of Athens to him.

But to Ionis Markorianos, the trust of a fool was not worth mentioning. On the contrary, it made him feel disgusted, so he held back his tears for a long time but failed to shed a single tear.

"Go ahead. Speak slowly. I can handle it."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty fled towards the port!"

“This is so unfortunate.”

Ionis Markorianos covered his face and was about to cry, but suddenly his eyes widened and his voice rose an octave.

"What?!" A scream echoed in the Athens City Defense Command Center.

"Can you say that again!"

Ionis Makrianos grabbed the soldier by the collar and asked with bloodshot eyes.

"His Majesty did not return to the palace, but went to the port." "Then why did you come back? Why don't you take people to kill him?"

Ionis Markorianos was furious. If Otto I really escaped, it would be a serious matter.

A dead king might not necessarily invite intervention, but a living Otto I would certainly invite intervention from the great powers, perhaps Bavaria, perhaps the Austrian Empire, or perhaps the entire Holy Alliance.
Ionis Macorianos' heart was in his throat. If Otto I really escaped by boat, he would not only lose his position as the commander of the city defense, but he would also have no chance of survival.

But he soon relaxed again. This time, in order to kill Otto I, they had prepared for a long time. There were dozens of cannons alone, which were equivalent to half of the total artillery of the Greek Kingdom, not to mention hundreds of well-trained elite soldiers, which made them almost foolproof.

Even if Otto I did not flee to the palace as they planned, he would not have been able to struggle for long.

"Marshal, we had surrounded the King, but suddenly a group of people came out and dispersed us.

Those guys are really powerful, and the brothers can’t stand it anymore.”

At first they wanted to fake a civil rebellion, but now Ioannis Macorianos couldn't care less. If Otto I really ran away, everything would be ruined.

"Useless! Send out the city defense forces!"

Captain Hubbard asked with a hint of excitement, "Are you planning to turn from darkness to light?"

"Everyone take to the streets! We must not let Otto I escape! Do you hear me?"

"As ordered!"

The officers around him responded in unison.

In fact, Franz had long known that his cousin was ambitious but incompetent, and his ability did not match his ambition. But this man was not completely useless. Otto I's greatest strength was that he listened to advice, so he hired mercenaries from Umbrella Security Company.

These mercenaries were ostensibly hired by Otto I, but in reality they were following Franz's orders.

Tanner Amhud was the commander stationed in Athens at that time. He had actually discovered some clues beforehand, but the intelligence was intercepted halfway.

As one of Franz's most trusted men, Tanner Amhead has been to many places and done a lot of dirty and tiring work. He is still alive today, so he naturally has extremely keen perception and judgment.

Tanner Amhud immediately ordered his men to set fire everywhere in the city, and then divided his troops into three groups. One group went to the direction of the palace to search for Otto I, and the other group went along the road to the port in the direction of the parade. At the same time, he personally led the team to capture the port.

The operation to capture the port went very smoothly because the native Greek elites did not expect Otto I to escape, let alone choose to escape from the port.

However, Umbrella's mercenaries were also a group of guys who killed people without restraint. They showed no mercy to the resistance in the process of seizing the port.

Of course, it is precisely such a group of brutal guys who can suppress the fanatics instigated by the local Greek elites and make them face reality.

When the search team found Otto I, he had already lost consciousness, which was barely good news for the team.

When Ioannis Macorianos wanted to mobilize the city defense forces to hunt down Otto I, the whole of Athens was already a sea of ​​fire.

Vienna, Hofburg Palace.

As soon as Franz learned of the rebellion in Athens, he realized that this was a very good opportunity, both for Austria and Greece.

Otto I could have used this opportunity to eliminate those who opposed him, consolidate his regime, and resolve the financial crisis at the same time.

But Franz had to appear extremely angry, and he kicked over the table.

"Send troops! This is a challenge to the orthodox world. We must maintain the order of this world!"
