Chapter 435 The mutation begins

"Hurry, hurry! The chief has left the council!"

Just as Leon dragged Joshua out of the parliament hall and forced him into the carriage, a middle-aged man with a somewhat plump figure on the bell tower seven or eight streets away put down the telescope in his hand, turned around and asked anxiously:
"Are you all ready? How's the situation at the palace?"

"Not even close."

Hearing the middle-aged man's question, a bald-headed woman next to him answered:

"Although the director of the Virgin Branch has gone to the Dream World, she left two anomalies in the palace. Luke can't pass the threshold she set. We still have to wait for the leader to come and find a way to bring him into the palace."

"What about the others? How are the others preparing?"

"Phoebe and I are ready."

A woman with an old face but young eyes answered:
"We sneaked into the military camp last night, erased part of the herald's memory of the military academy, and implanted a set of fake flag numbers in him.

Now, no matter how the palace calls for help or mobilizes troops, the messengers in the military camp will treat the signal for help as a signal to report safety. Before the news spreads, no one from the military camp will come to support. "

"Tiger is ready too."

At this time, a man not far away who was also holding a telescope reported excitedly:
"There's already a fire at Lowther Arcade. The police department and other patrols were attracted by the fire set by Tiger. Even if they found out that something happened in the palace, they won't be able to get over in a short time."

"It's fine here too. Old Owen has hired a few carriages with his men and they're already waiting on the main road. As soon as we start, they'll just crash into our carriages."

"There's no problem here! Several weather towers have been occupied, and there are no other observation points nearby. The people stationed outside the capital will definitely not be able to detect any unusual movements!"

"Me too! We've already set up an ambush on Redwood Street. If any noble private soldiers are dispatched, we can be ready at any time..."

"I'm ready too! If anyone evacuates from the palace, we can immediately..."

Is it almost done?

After looking through the telescope at the situation near the palace and making sure there were no obvious flaws, the middle-aged man who spoke first couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

“Now that everything is ready, let’s send a signal and let everyone get ready!

The leader has already headed for the palace. It is estimated that he will arrive in a few minutes. After he brings Luke into the palace and ensures the safety of the princess, he will immediately start to attack the palace! "

"Also, everyone should focus on the things that they are responsible for. It's the last minute, and don't make any mistakes at this time!"

He set up the telescope again and looked at the carriage heading towards the palace a few streets away. The wealthy middle-aged man said with a flushed face and excited eyes:

"All the opposition members of the Senate have been arrested. As long as there are no mistakes here and we succeed in breaking into the palace, our wish for so many years will be fulfilled..."

"Snapped!"

The wealthy middle-aged man was halfway through his words when a slap suddenly came towards him, slapping him hard on the face, and then the telescope was snatched away.

"Ouch, what are you doing?"

"The palace! Look at the palace!"

The palace? Did the people in the palace discover us?
Hearing his companion's somewhat panicked shout, the wealthy middle-aged man felt a chill in his heart and then suddenly turned his head to look.

However, the palace under the sun was still as quiet as before. There was no team of fully armed soldiers rushing out, nor was anyone seen coming out to ask for help.

Except for the guards on their daily patrol and a few gardeners working on the lawn, everything was the same as it was just now. There was no difference at all. "What's wrong?"

After looking at it twice and still not being able to figure out what was wrong, the wealthy middle-aged man showed a look of confusion on his face. However, among the mob in the bell tower, it seemed that some other people had noticed something was wrong, and sounds of people gasping for air were heard one after another.

"What's going on?!"

"Is there anyone else planning to attack the palace?"

"It seems like something is going to happen!"

"What's wrong? What happened in the palace? What happened?"

Noticing that the wealthy middle-aged man didn't seem to understand, the bald woman who had just slapped him stamped her feet and said anxiously:
"People! You should look at people!"

people?
After hearing the bald woman's reminder, the wealthy middle-aged man was slightly startled, and quickly squinted his eyes and looked towards the palace. Then, like everyone else, he took a deep breath.

I didn't notice it when I looked at it casually from a distance, but now I squinted my eyes and took a closer look, I saw that both the patrolling guards and the gardeners working on the lawn had a strange metallic luster on their bodies.

In addition to the strange sheen on their bodies, the guards and gardeners' movements also became strange, as if the complex joints in their bodies had been strangely simplified, and the movements of their limbs became mechanical and stiff, looking like...

Just like living tin dolls!
After finally discovering what was wrong, the wealthy middle-aged man quickly snatched back his telescope and looked towards the direction of the palace.

In the telescope's tube, those people who just seemed to have flesh and blood actually turned into tin dolls, and the human eyeballs on their faces had been replaced with pairs of colorful glass beads.

The place where the mouth originally belonged on the metallic face was like a puppet's chin, with two lines drawn from the corners of the lips, opening and closing mechanically from time to time, and it had completely turned into the appearance of a toy.

What made the wealthy middle-aged man even more frightened was that the area where these tin dolls appeared did not seem to be limited to the vicinity of the palace, but was rapidly spreading outward.

First, there were a few sentry posts opposite the palace, followed by the outer wall and the road outside, then a small square connected to the road, and the bustling street outside the small square.

It was like some strange plague that was spreading, or like ink drops dripping onto a huge white paper with the palace as the center. One by one, flesh-and-blood humans were uncontrollably transforming into tin dolls.

Those who had inexplicably turned into tin dolls seemed to be unaware of it. They continued to do their own things as they did before being turned into dolls, completely unaware of what kind of changes had happened to them...

and many more? !
Just as he was surprised by the change in the distance, the wealthy middle-aged man seemed to remember something. He quickly turned around with a telescope and began to look for the carriage carrying Leon under the cover of the building. While searching, he shouted anxiously:
"Where's the leader? Where is the leader?"

Hearing the shout from the wealthy middle-aged man, the rebels who were shocked by the changes in the palace immediately reacted. According to the original plan, their leader was holding the prince hostage and preparing to sneak into the palace as an insider.

However, seeing the strange appearance of the palace now, his leader would not be able to sneak in. It is estimated that as long as the carriage drives nearby, he will be turned into a tin man!

After searching frantically for a while and still couldn't find Lyon's carriage, someone in the gang finally reacted.

"Signal! Signal quickly!"

After hearing his words, everyone suddenly woke up as if from a dream, and quickly took out flares, wanting to warn their leader not to approach the palace at this time, but...

"It's too late! It's too late!"

Pointing to the small square in front of the palace, the bald girl put down the slingshot in her hand and said with a sad face:

"The carriage has just gone in. Our leader is now a tin man!"
