Chapter 72: Directory Government - Guardians of the Revolution (4)
[Pierre de Lafayette, Commander-in-Chief of the Southern Army, declares! The illegal occupation of the National Assembly by Raphael Valliant, Commander of the Northern Army, is a clear act of treason against the Francia Republic! Those who do not cooperate with his treason, surrender immediately! Those who do not surrender will be considered traitors!]
The shout, amplified by magic, vibrated the air inside the National Assembly.
Raphael Valliant felt a tingling sensation on his skin and saw the soldiers occupying the Assembly instantly fall into turmoil.
Jerome Morelle, Nicolas, and all the Northern Army were looking only at his face.
"C-Commander, sir. The National Assembly is surrounded by the Southern Army!"
The report sounded distant, and Valliant slowly turned his head to look at his subordinates.
In their eyes, the respect and admiration for Raphael Valliant, the guardian of the revolution, and their loyalty were shaken.
On the soil of doubt created by Maximilien Le Jidor's desperate cry, the shock of Valliant's gunshot takes root.
Finally, the fear that things have gone wrong, that perhaps even he might be framed as a traitor, intensifies.
