My villain wants to save himself, but the yandere heroine disagrees

The guard was stunned when he heard this, then he looked at Orson who was sitting on the chair, and then at Owen.

As if to ask, "Is it really okay that no one is watching Orson?"

But Owen said directly: "Lead the way quickly, the sooner you go, the sooner you will come back."

"I understand." Upon hearing this, the guard walked in front of Owen and took Owen to meet the imperial guards.

Orson sat in the room, looked at the two people's reactions, smiled, and didn't say much.

He continued to sit there.

Regardless of whether this was a trick or Irving let him go on purpose, he would not leave.

As long as he stayed here, the pressure on Arthas would grow day by day.

Chapter 52: Kill Without Mercy

Owen came to the door, looked at the group of imperial guards in front of him, and asked:

"Who is the commander here? Ask him to come out and talk to me."

As Owen finished speaking, a middle-aged man came up to him.

"Captain Owen, I am the person in charge of this mission to transfer Orson. You can call me Norris."

"Officer Norris, please reiterate your mission here and show relevant proof."

Owen said according to the process.

"Okay, Commander Owen, we are here on the orders of His Majesty the Emperor to transfer the prisoner Orson to a safer place to prevent him from escaping."

Having said this, Norris took out the document signed by Arthas himself.

"You can't take him away."

Owen shook his head.

Norris thought everything would go smoothly, but he didn't expect Owen to reject him directly. He looked at Owen in disbelief and asked:

"Sir, are you serious?"

"of course."

Owen nodded seriously.

"The arrest of Orson was an action of the Public Security Bureau. Although it was authorized by the royal family, all procedures were in compliance with the law. Orson will now wait for the next trial at the Public Security Bureau. Before that, in order to ensure that nothing unexpected happens to Orson during the transfer, it is obviously impossible for us to hand him over to you."

"Besides, even if Orson is to be tried in the end, it should be done through the cooperation between the Public Security Bureau and the Imperial Court, rather than being sent directly to the Imperial Palace, right?"

After listening to Owen's words, Norris's expression suddenly looked a little bad.

"Mr. Owen, please understand that we are not here to ask for your opinion. Instead, we are here to take you away directly. Do you understand?"

"The royal family requested the transfer of Orsen. That was an order personally issued by His Majesty the Emperor. If His Majesty the Emperor wants to exercise his power, then no one can refuse. I tell you the truth. His Majesty the Emperor is preparing a new organization to take back the power of the police station and the court because what you did disappointed His Majesty the Emperor."

Hearing Norris say this, Owen sneered.

"Oh, in that case, let His Majesty the Emperor personally issue an order to dismiss me. This way I can relax a little."

"Owen, you!"

Norris was so angry that he pointed his finger at Owen. He stared at the fearless Owen in front of him.

Finally, he issued an ultimatum.

"Owen, I'll give you five minutes to think about it. Do you want to keep your job or go to jail to get it? It all depends on your consideration in these last five minutes."

"In less than five minutes, I can tell you my answer right now."

Owen said this with a cold brow.

"If what I defend is so worthless in your Majesty's eyes, then there is no need for me to defend it."

"Okay, then I respect your choice."

Norris nodded after hearing this, and then took his men back to reply to Arthas.

When Owen returned to the office again, Orson was still sitting there.

Seeing Owen coming back, Orson raised his head and then looked into his eyes with some surprise.

"Why, are you wondering why I didn't leave?"

"Yeah." Owen nodded.

"Just now, I gave you a lot of time. With your ability, you would have been able to escape without anyone noticing. Why didn't you leave?"

"Because someone will beg me to leave."

Orson said with a smile.

He had no sense of urgency at all as if disaster was about to happen. Instead, he was completely calm and composed.

……

The next morning, soldiers from Saint Laurent surrounded the entire police station and the Imperial Court.

There was even a long queue formed at the gate of the palace, demanding that the royal family release Orson.

At first, the royal family was quite firm in their attitude and refused to release the people, but as more and more people gathered, the royal family was forced to resort to other means.

First, the royal family sent people to communicate and coordinate with the protesting citizens, saying that they would release Orson, but the citizens did not buy it.

Under the instigation of those with ulterior motives, the citizens only knew that their savior, the hero of the empire, was envied by the emperor and subsequently locked up. As for other reasons and explanations from the royal family, they all believed them to be conspiracy theories.

It is very similar to the last siege of the public security station.

However, after what happened last time, the citizens were even more excited this time.

Many citizens even raised the slogan "Don't release Orsen, don't recognize the emperor."

During the day, at the police station, Owen received a "letter of commission" from Alsace.

Alsace transferred Owen to a foreign army as a mid-level officer and replaced the highest officer of the police station with his confidant.

Of course, changing his confidants now is just a show. What Arthas really needs to do is to build momentum for the subsequent Inquisition.

After a round of dismissal and replacement of disloyal officials, the city of Saint-Laurent has now almost become a place where Alsace himself has the final say.

However, at this time, the dissatisfaction of the people and local nobles also turned into armed conflicts.

In the morning, led by a group of mercenaries, angry citizens rushed into the police station and threw the newly appointed sheriff out of the window. The sheriff was then executed by the angry citizens and mercenaries with ulterior motives.

This action instantly angered Arthas, and he quickly ordered the royal guards to rush to the police station, disperse the citizens, and officially transfer Orson to the palace. However, a magical scene happened next.

Previously, a considerable amount of funds "disappeared out of thin air" from the Lison Chamber of Commerce every month. This money was actually used by Chelinina to recruit mercenaries.

Chelinina filled the mercenaries' schedules so that they didn't have to do anything but wait in Saint Laurent City.

And the opportunity we have been waiting for is for this day.

As the saying goes, distant water cannot quench a nearby fire. If we wait until the truth is revealed and then transfer troops from the Naples area, it will definitely be too late. Therefore, directly using the military force that can be obtained in the city of Saint Laurent has become the most important preparation that Orson instructed Celinina to make.

It was for this reason that when the imperial guards arrived at the police station and prepared to disperse the crowd, they were surprised to find that...

The "citizens" in front of him were not only fully armed, but also looked quite elite.

If nothing else, it's more than enough to resist them.

At this time, Orson was also rescued by the citizens.

Finally regaining his freedom after so many days, Orson looked at the citizens outside who were waiting for him and smiled sincerely.

His purpose was achieved.

Even if it is a military coup, it is best to win the hearts of the people.

Wherever the people support us, we will be victorious.

Standing at the entrance of the police station, Orson looked at the people and mercenaries waiting for him and said:

"Everyone, I believe you already know my story, so I won't go into details here."

"However, since you have chosen to believe in me, I will definitely not let you down. From now on, defeating the false emperor Arthas and supporting Her Highness Elsa is our goal."

"Our flag is to save the empire and to save all the people!"

As Orson said this, his speech immediately aroused the morale of many citizens and mercenaries.

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation and wanted to rush out and fight the imperial guards to the death.

And at this moment, Owen also stood silently beside Orson.

After being fired, he did not leave immediately, but planned to stay here for another day.

Then this situation occurred.

In the end, Owen chose to follow his heart and join the side of justice.

So, he stood by Orson and helped him.

……

In the palace, Arthas heard the report from the imperial guards and was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table.

"These untouchables, don't they even think about who feeds them!"

Arthas huffed, then glanced at his men.

"Go outside the city and transfer part of the troops back to the city to quell the rebellion before the situation escalates."

"As for this battle, if we encounter Orson..."

Arthas took a deep breath and then said:

"Kill without mercy."

Chapter 53: How to stand? Think carefully

The royal territory was originally under the control of Elsa.

Scaloni is not in a very good mood at the moment.

After Arthas ascended the throne, Scaloni, as the father-in-law of the emperor, was re-employed and led the army to retake the cities that were originally controlled by Elsa.

Because the troops in Elsa's territory were mostly city defense forces, they were far from comparable to the royal standing army in terms of both quantity and quality. Therefore, in the early stages of the war, Scaloni conquered several cities in succession.

However, seeing this, other cities not only did not surrender, but instead strengthened their city defenses and recruited soldiers, as if they had already stood firm with Elsa. Even after he shouted slogans like "The emperor will forgive the past if you surrender", no one surrendered.

As the war progressed, the situation became less optimistic.

The area controlled by Elsa is closer to Prussia, Naples and Antica, and the closest one is the Duchy of Antica.

Just the day before yesterday, Scaloni had received intelligence that Antica's army had entered the royal territory.

Even though this move had seriously damaged the relationship between vassal and monarch, these local dukes seemed not afraid of failure and continued to ignore the emperor's authority.

At this moment, other cities controlled by Elsa have more or less won reinforcements from the Antica region.

This was not what worried him the most.

What worried him most was the attitude of other dukes.

Although the Duke of Aragon and the Duke of Lucia had declared neutrality, they still gathered a large number of troops on the border, ready to take advantage of the situation.

After experiencing the war, Naples also formed an army and marched north. Although the number was small, it was still quite difficult to deal with.

The Dukedom of Orleans has also dispatched 30,000 troops to attack the western border of the royal territory.

Of course, if the above can only be regarded as minor fights, the move of the dormant tiger in the north this time really gave Scaloni a headache.

Duke William of Prussia sent an army of 100,000 and marched directly towards the city of Saint Laurent.

Now, Prussia's 100,000-strong army has crossed the border and penetrated deep into the empire.

Scaloni had only one choice, which was to return to defense and wait until the political turmoil in Saint Laurent was resolved. The emperor and other dukes would compromise and give up some of their interests in exchange for his continued rule.

Scaloni felt extremely upset when he saw that the territory that was about to be obtained had to be given back again.

He only had 150,000 soldiers available, and the remaining troops of Prussia, Orleans, Antica, Naples and Elsa totaled more than 300,000. This battle was simply impossible to fight.

However, just as he was about to withdraw, he received an order from Alsace.

"General!"
