This is a strategy and a necessary precaution.
The Lin family appeared as a nail buried by the emperor in the territories of the four major families.
If it weren't for the emperor's support behind the scenes, it would be impossible for the Lin family to develop so large in Fate City, which is controlled by the Filin family, relying solely on their own strength.
Everyone knows this.
For a long time, the four major families have been vigilant against these "nails" planted by the emperor in their territories.
In order to maintain superficial peace and stability, they did not take overly drastic actions.
Until recently, as the conflicts between the four major families and the royal family gradually intensified, they began to clean up the imperial forces hidden in the territory.
"The victor is the king and the loser is the bandit, that's all. Nephew, don't think that we can sit back and relax just because you win. The Kingdom of Beasts is eyeing us covetously, and the Middle East Grand Canyon has been breached. You won't be able to hold out for much longer. I'll be waiting for you in hell."
When Trotkohl walked up to the emperor, his throat suddenly moved, and then a large amount of blood spurted out of his mouth. It was obvious that he had swallowed the poison prepared in advance and chose to commit suicide.
The emperor looked at Trou Cole, who had fallen to the ground, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.
He felt a mixture of triumph and annoyance at Trouble Cole's last words.
Seeing Trouble Cole fall to the ground, the heads of the other three families finally panicked.
They did not have the foresight of Trouble Cole. After knowing that the rebellion had failed, the three of them crawled to the emperor and begged him to show mercy and spare their lives.
"Someone, pull them down, don't let them dirty my eyes."
Not far away, Kro Filin and three others knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Although they are the emperor's uncles in terms of seniority, in the royal family, family affection has long been overwhelmed by power and interests.
From the moment they decided to take action, their fate was sealed.
The guards quickly stepped forward and dragged Kro Filin and three others away.
Just as the emperor was about to turn around and leave, a bullet suddenly shot out from the night sky, so fast that no one could react.
The emperor's protective gear shattered instantly, and his headless body shook a few times before falling heavily to the ground.
The general's face suddenly changed at the sudden attack. He immediately shouted, "Seal off the scene! No one can be allowed to leave the Holy City today!"
The general was extremely panicked and immediately ordered the guards to seal off the scene and search thoroughly for possible hidden assassins.
"You really dare to do that, aren't you afraid of being caught and killed by these guys?" Crazy Grandma complained in a low voice while holding the telescope.
The three of them were currently crouching on a high tower and hiding with the help of Rose's optical stealth equipment. As long as no soldiers approached directly, they would not be able to be discovered at all.

"Stop talking nonsense and retreat quickly. If the emperor is killed, these guards will definitely go crazy."
Lin Yi put away the +10 sniper rifle in his hand.
In order to ensure that everything went smoothly, Lin Yi deliberately activated the active skill "Fatal Pursuit" when aiming at the emperor.
Faced with a bullet speed of 300%, the guards had no time to react and could only watch the emperor being shot in the head.
Crazy Milk also knew that what Lin Yi said was true.
At the same time, the general was leading his army towards the tower where the three were.
Although the technological level of the Ten Thousand Beasts Continent is not high, the general is no fool. He quickly determined that this weapon was shot from a high altitude.
Therefore, he immediately led his army towards the tallest tower in the city, intending to capture the murderer in one fell swoop.
"Wait a minute, let me give them some extra ingredients."
Lin Yi took out a badge shaped like the imprint of Apocalypse Paradise.
He gently picked up the badge and rubbed it against the wall, leaving a half mark that looked like it had been accidentally touched during the evacuation.
"Okay, let's go." Seeing that the soldiers had arrived downstairs, Rose urged hurriedly.
She tore open a directional transfer scroll in her hand, and with a flash of dazzling white light, the figures of the three people disappeared into the night sky.
"Bang!" With a loud bang, the Royal Guards broke in, followed closely by the general, who came to the place where Lin Yi and others were just now with a menacing look.
"Report to the general, according to our search, there should have been three assassins here before." A few minutes later, an officer reported to the general.
The general took the document and glanced at it, only to find that it was full of speculations and trivial information about Lin Yi and the other two, with no substantive content at all.
He became increasingly upset as this information was of no help to him in tracking down the murderer.
Just as the general was about to leave, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a faint mark in the corner of the wall.
The mark was very faint, and if the general was not preparing to leave, it would be difficult to spot it from other directions.
"Come here, take a copy of this seal." the general ordered.
The soldiers carefully copied half of the badge.
The general looked at the mark and felt it was more and more familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
Suddenly, he remembered something and took out the warrant that the emperor had given him from his pocket.
After opening the warrant, the general discovered that the mark on the warrant was almost exactly the same as the mark he had just copied.
The only difference is that the mark left on the corner is only half.

"Very good! Very good!" The general showed a relieved expression on his face.
Although he realized that someone might be behind this, he now had no other choice.
The general was in a dilemma. The emperor was assassinated and he had to give a clear explanation to the royal family.
As a symbol of the country, the assassination of the emperor cannot be tolerated.
The general hurriedly sent the intelligence he had collected to the royal courtyard. After learning the situation, the royal family issued a clear order: everyone related to this mark must be killed without leaving a single one alive.
For the royal family, the most important thing now is to maintain the dignity and face of the country. It is better to kill someone by mistake than to let him go.
Anyone who may be involved in the assassination will be severely punished to serve as a warning to others.
Outside the city, Lin Yi, Crazy Grandma and Rose rode fast horses and galloped on the road leading to the Grand Canyon of the Middle East.
They did not stop all night just to escape from the Holy Dragon Kingdom's sphere of influence as quickly as possible.
Although Lin Yi was unsure whether the Apocalypse Paradise brand badge he left behind could successfully mislead the people of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, he knew that it was always right to be careful.
As the sky gradually brightened, the flag of the Kingdom of Beasts gradually appeared on the distant horizon.
Seeing the familiar logo, the three finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"who?"
When the sentinels of the Kingdom of Beasts saw someone riding towards the camp gate, they immediately set up chevaux de frise as a precaution.
"I am Lin Yi, the captain of the Lion Legion. I have urgent information to report to Captain Tuk Bourne."
At this time, Tuk Bourne had just woken up from his sleep and was about to go wash up.
"Commander, Captain Lin Yi wants to see you for an urgent matter." The messenger's voice sounded outside the tent.
"He's back?" Tuk Bourne's heart tightened. He didn't even bother to finish washing up. He grabbed a towel and wiped his face hastily. Then he immediately walked out of the tent. "Hurry up, let him in."
Seeing that Lin Yi was safe and sound, Tuk Bourne felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
"So, what did you do during this trip?"
Due to the strict information blockade imposed by the Emperor on the Holy City, Tuk Bourne had almost no intelligence about the Holy City.
"The Holy City is in chaos."
After Tuk Bourne sat down, Lin Yi's first words made Tuk Bourne's heart tremble.
"In the end what happened?"
Lin Yi spoke briefly and quickly recounted the series of events including the rebellion of the four major families in the Holy City and the emperor's dispatch of troops to quell the rebellion.
As Lin Yi spoke, Tuk Bourne's expression kept changing. It was obvious that this news was extremely important to him.
He understood that this civil strife would have a profound impact on the entire Holy Dragon Kingdom.
"Good! Great!"
Tuk Bourne slammed his fist on the table, with a look of undisguised delight on his face.
He originally sent Lin Yi out just to give it a try, but he didn't expect that Lin Yi actually succeeded in provoking a fight between the royal family and the four major families.
But Lin Yi's next words shocked Tuk Bourne.
"Oh, by the way, let's get rid of the emperor before we leave."
"What?" Tuk Bourne widened his eyes and looked at Lin Yi in disbelief.
"Did anyone notice what was going on?" asked Tuk Bourne nervously.
"Don't worry, no one will know it was us who did it." Lin Yi answered confidently.
Tuk Bourne breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression remained serious. "Listen, you must keep this matter to yourself and never let any word out. Otherwise, even I may not be able to protect you."
There was deep concern in his words.
The Holy Dragon Kingdom is vast, and it is not easy for the Ten Thousand Beasts Kingdom to conquer it in one fell swoop.
In the end, the two sides will most likely sit down at the negotiating table to end the war.
If the other party knew that the murderer who killed the emperor was hiding in the Kingdom of Beasts, they would probably retaliate at all costs.
By then, Lin Yi would most likely become a victim of the top leaders and be sent out as a bargaining chip.
"You should stay in the camp for the near future and don't go out again." Tuk Bourne reminded Lin Yi, "If anyone asks, you should say that you recently went to Master Bai Yan to study alchemy."
After leaving Tuk Bourne's tent, Lin Yi, Crazy Grandma and Rose found an empty tent to rest in.
Relaxed at this moment, the three of them quickly fell asleep as soon as their tired bodies touched the pillow.
Since last night, the contractors of Apocalypse Paradise have noticed that something seems to be wrong.
They noticed that the number of soldiers around the camp had increased significantly, and whenever they tried to go out, they were stopped by the soldiers on the grounds that they were on an emergency mission and all personnel were prohibited from going out.
Faced with this sudden change, the contractors in the war channel asked the reason, but found that similar situations had occurred in the three major war zones.
This unknown and uncertainty made everyone feel panicked and eager to figure out what was going on.
Just when some leaders of adventure groups in Apocalypse Paradise were asking each other for information, the Holy Dragon Kingdom suddenly launched an attack on the camp of Apocalypse Paradise.
Countless rockets rained into the tent, instantly igniting all the supplies.
"What's going on? Are people from the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Beasts attacking us?" The contractors ran out of the tents in panic, only to see that the camp was heavily surrounded by soldiers from the Holy Dragon Kingdom.
What shocked them even more was that dozens of siege crossbows appeared nearby.
"Why! Aren't we allies?" The leader of an adventure group from Apocalypse Paradise roared, swinging his sword to cut off the rockets shot at him. His face was full of anger and confusion, and his eyes were fixed on the legion commander sitting on a tall horse in the distance.
The legion commander smiled coldly, his eyes revealing disdain and contempt, "Ally? Who are your allies? You spies from the four major families actually dared to assassinate His Majesty. Today, I will bury you lunatics here with my own hands."
The commander of the Holy Dragon Kingdom raised his hand, and the soldiers operating the crossbows immediately began to turn the winch.
With the sound of "clicking", the bowstring of the crossbow was gradually tightened, emitting a terrifying tension.
After ensuring that all bows and crossbows were ready, the legion commander waved his hand decisively.
Immediately afterwards, dozens of crossbows fired at the same time, and the crossbow arrow reamers flew out at an astonishing speed.
These sharp crossbow arrows were like the scythe of the god of death, instantly shredding the camp of the Apocalypse Paradise contractors into pieces.
Although some contractors tried to hold up their defenses, in front of the powerful war machines, their defenses were as fragile as paper and broke at the slightest touch.
In this sudden attack, except for a few contractors who had a bad feeling and escaped in time, most of the Apocalypse Paradise contractors who stayed in the camp were brutally strangled by the Holy Dragon Kingdom army.
