Riding and Slashing

Amy's face was covered with dust, her eyes were bloodshot, and she looked extremely tired, but she didn't seem to cry all the way.

But now, hearing what Li Ang said, Amy gradually lowered her head, and a tear fell from her eyes to the ground: "I just want to be a knight, a knight like Countess Valera."

She had indeed become a strong knight.

"Amy, originally I blocked Sarleon City and asked Lisa Dilan to call you back, just so that you could avenge Aunt Feilina with your own hands."

Li Ang said softly, this was indeed his original intention.

When he saw Ms. Filina fall from the building, Li Ang asked the guards to seal Sarleon City for revenge—whether it was the prophet or the king, they were the enemies who killed Filina, and he didn't want to let anyone go.

Let Lisa Dilan bring Filina to Godric, mainly to prevent the three prophets from desecrating Filina's body.

It's just that he didn't expect that the three prophets would disappear for no apparent reason.

"But now... the Prophet is missing, the king is dead, but our enemies are not just them - the Knights of the Lions slaughtered Crow Village, your brother Andrew's whereabouts are unknown, the heresy that framed you is still raging, and the heresy The plotters of the gang are still alive and well, too. You can't be more than a princess knight until you're done with them, Amy."

Li Ang wiped the tears off Amy's face with his hand: "You can only sit on the Silver Throne, otherwise, our enemy will sit on it."

What he said was the enemy of 'our'.

"...but Ulrik has a daughter, the little princess should be the queen..."

Amy was silent for a while, then looked up at Li Ang: "She should be in Barry."

"But she is not the king's daughter..."

Li Ang shook his head slowly: "Besides, she has been controlled by the Duke of Brennus. If there is no accident, Brennus and his son Malbert are with the heretics."

Amy froze for a moment, then closed her eyes weakly, and sighed resignedly.

"How is your father?"

Li Ang also sighed, and asked about Godric.

"Father swore to avenge mother, what he said is similar to what you said - he wants to find Andrew, he wants to destroy the heresy in Crow Village, he wants to kill the Lion Knights...so he wants to stay in Crow Village to hold back the enemy , he doesn’t want those guys to escape.”

Amy replied: "He asked me to come to Sarleon City and let me listen to your arrangement."

This is inevitable. After seeing Filina's body, Godric will definitely do this—since Leon will solve the troubles in Sarleon City, then the enemies of Fox Town and Crow Village will naturally have to be controlled by Godric. Gram to solve.

Godric knew that since Li Ang would call Amy to Sarleon City, it meant that Li Ang was sure to control Sarleon City, and Amy's safety was guaranteed.

Then, Godric can let go and kill without any worries.

"Then...we must give him enough support as quickly as possible, Amy, take a rest, and we have to go to the Throne Hall tomorrow morning."

Li Ang nodded - let Amy supervise the country, and then quickly declare the Lion Knights as illegal knights, then all problems can be solved.

Godric is not short of troops now. Although his red arrow longbowmen are not strong, the cost of formation is very low, and there are currently 800 people.In addition, Klose brought the Silver Hand to assist in the battle, and Sir Roland will also rush from Dark Falcon Castle to Fox Town to deal with the heretics, and it is estimated that it will be here soon.

It is the best support to let Godric have no more restraints and relieve his worries.

"Li Ang, you once said that you want to unify the Pendor Continent, and you want to gain more power for safety... So, do you want to become the king of the Sarleon Kingdom?"

Amy asked suddenly.

"Do not want to."

Li Ang shook his head lightly.

Amy raised her head and looked at Li Ang in surprise: "Don't want to?"

Li Ang's expression was very serious. He looked at the tired Amy, took Amy into his arms, and patted her thin back: "Yes, I don't want to. If possible, I hope Aunt Feilina is alive... However, we must protect ourselves and those who care about us. Therefore, the silver throne of the Sarleon Kingdom cannot fall into the hands of outsiders."

"But I don't want to either..."

Amy rested her head on Li Ang's shoulder, hugged Li Ang, closed her eyes and rested.

Li Ang took her to sit on the steps of the Noble House, and let her lean on his shoulder.

"Let's go……"

A few minutes later, Amy raised her head again, reached out to wipe away the tears on her face, and stood up: "Tell me what to do."

At this moment, she has become that firm princess knight again.

…………

The next day, early morning.

Throne Hall.

King Ulrik's coffin rests in front of the Silver Throne.

Amy wore a white cloak and stood in front of the coffin to preside over the farewell ceremony for Ulrik's body.

This is the place where the heir to the king is qualified to stand.

And in Sarleon City at this moment, only Amy has such qualifications.

Just yesterday, that is, the afternoon of the same day when Amy arrived in Sarleon City, Li Ang ordered all the nobles in Sarleon City to be summoned to bid farewell to the king's body in the Throne Hall this morning.

Under normal circumstances, after the death of a king of a country, the body will be parked for at least half a month, this is to wait for the arrival of the lords from all over the country, and also to determine the successor of the king during this period.

After determining the successor, the lords will swear allegiance to the next generation of kings in front of the remains of the previous king, and then hold the funeral.

When the king dies and there is no designated heir, the great nobles will generally choose the next king. Of course, in most cases it will be determined according to the order of succession—anyway, no matter who is chosen, the power will fall to the strongest in the hands of the great lord.

Unless a certain heir himself is strong and strong, no one dares to provoke him.

But Li Ang didn't intend to give the nobles a chance to choose.

He told the nobles in Sarleon very straightforwardly that Amy is now the only heir.

Moreover, he let the cavalry troops brought back by Amy surround the palace.

The female soldiers of Griffin Claw even entered the throne room, directly replacing the guards in the palace.

At the same time, Li Ang's Noldor Guards are still sticking to the only passable main city gate. Unless Li Ang agrees, no one can leave Sarleon City. Others can't even spread the news of the king's death.

Li Ang himself also entered the throne room fully armed with a sword and armor.

This morning, all the nobles in Sarleon City can realize that Amy is now the heir to the "strong army and horses, no one dares to provoke". If the fist is not as big as Li Ang and Amy combined, then it is best not to say anything...

But doubts still exist, and must exist.

"Master Li Ang, I don't doubt the truth of what you said, but I want to know why the city gate is still blocked?"

The one who questioned was a middle-aged nobleman wearing a bachelor's uniform—he was the grand bachelor who succeeded Igor after his death, and he was the one who should be the most suspicious, because he was responsible for recording the history of the kingdom.

Li Ang nodded kindly to him: "I can let the Lion Knights tell you about this..."

Saying that, he waved his hand.

Several lion knights were shackled and escorted into the throne room by a group of female soldiers.

"They are the knights of the Lion Knights, the left-behind personnel of the Sarleon City resident."

Li Ang shot the sword and gave those lion knights a cold look: "At the same time, he is also the agent of the traitor Malbert in Sarleon City, and he is also an accomplice who conspired with Brennus to treason!"

"You're lying! This is planting!"

A lion knight roared angrily.

"Gag 'em up and bring Circe up..."

Li Ang ignored him at all, and directed the female soldiers on his own, and brought the fat cook from the House of Nobles, who was in charge of silence, to the throne room.

"Cersi, under the watchful eyes of the goddess Eunomia and the former king, tell what you have done. This is His Majesty's funeral. His Highness Amy will not kill people at this time. You can live if you tell the truth."

Li Ang gave the cook a real way to survive.

Circe nodded and knelt in the middle of the hall: "I was arranged by the Duke of Brennus, in the House of Nobles..."

The cook publicly explained Brennus' various orders to her, including killing the former queen's maid, concealing the little princess's life experience, monitoring the king's actions, etc., as well as the queen's adultery with Brennus and the little princess The whole story of the princess being picked up by Brennus—especially the adultery part, is described in great detail.

"Now you understand why I blocked Sarleon City? Because the Lion Knights are unreliable! The former Royal Knights have now become traitors!"

Li Ang said with a sneer: "In order to avoid these rebellious dogs from the Lion Knights jumping over the wall, I must be careful!"

"Is what this woman said... true? Princess Denise belongs to Brennus and the queen..."

Some nobles expressed some doubts that Denise was the name of Ulrik's youngest daughter.

But most people have already believed it - Circe told the story between Brennus and the Queen in great detail, and many older nobles knew that there would be no lies.

Moreover, two of the gagged lion knights had already turned pale.

Circe just didn't mention Ellen, everything else was telling the truth, and these things were combined with some orders in the Lion Knights. Several Lion Knights already knew that there was indeed a problem with Brennus.

There will always be people with poor psychological qualities. The two whose faces changed drastically, if nothing else, were the ones who took part in taking the little princess Denise out of the city and sending her to Cliff Bay.

"If you think Circe's confession is not credible, then you can also maintain your doubts-but for those who express doubts, I must first investigate whether you have anything to do with the rebellion of Brennus, so as to determine your public conscience, I hope You can understand..."

Li Ang said lightly, looking very magnanimous.

Indeed, you can doubt it, at least you must first make sure that you have nothing to do with rebellion, and you doubt it out of public interest.

However, who dares to let Li Ang 'investigate' at this time?
As a result, there were no voices of doubt in the entire Throne Hall, and all the nobles said in unison that the Lion Knights were rebellious, and they must be identified as illegal knights, and troops should be sent to exterminate them!
"After ensuring the safety of Lion City, I will be responsible for hunting down the Lion Knights... In fact, my troops are now hunting down the Lion Knights. Grand Maester, do you still have any questions?"

Of course, there will be no problem. The bachelor had already been 'persuaded' by Li Ang the night before, and today he was just cooperating with Li Ang.

Li Ang stated selflessly that he would be responsible for clearing up the rebellion, which really gave the nobles more trust.

After all, even taking on this kind of life-threatening job, what Marshal Li Ang said should indeed be the truth, or it has to be the truth—he even has the confidence to wipe out the Lion Knights, so who would dare to fight against him at this time?
In fact, even if Li Ang intends to treat a deer as a horse, these nobles have to admit it.

It's just that Li Ang and Amy still used a relatively gentle method, and they didn't kill anyone.

So, under the gaze of the goddess Eunomia and the former king, Amy was voted by the nobles as the princess of the country.

——The little princess is regarded as the rebellious daughter of Brennus, Andrew is missing, and now there is no other heir to the throne except Amy, it must be unanimous.

Of course, Amy is not the queen at this time, but is only temporarily imprisoning the country.

During these fifteen days, she could only stand in front of the Silver Throne and could not sit down.

After half a month, the lords from all over the place rushed over after receiving the news of the king's death, and then the great lords would crown her together.

only……

The lords who can receive the news first are those who Li Ang is willing to let them receive the news.

For example, Baron Hereward, lord of Fort Misty, Baron Leofric, lord of Fort Valor, Grandlon, lord of Payne, Charles, lord of Fletcher...

Anyway, they are all their own people.

Moreover, the Lion Knights have been identified as rebels, and Brennus has become the leader of the rebels. After half a month, Li Ang and Amy will no longer speak politely to others.

Because Amy's first order after prison was to declare war with Fieldsway!
This had to be done, because Ulrik died at the hands of the Filzwei people. This kind of national hatred must declare war, and it can easily arouse the determination of the same hatred in the country.

And Li Ang, because of the upcoming war, is in full charge of all military affairs of the Lion Kingdom.

It was Amy who held the funeral for the late King Ulrik, and it was Amy who launched the battle of revenge for Ulrik. Marshal Li Ang also clearly supported Amy.

Such an heir is hard to shake.

At the same time, when the revenge battle with Filtzway is about to be faced, as long as the nobles are out of public hearts, no one will mention the establishment of a new king.

Because this kind of war to avenge the former king is different from the general conquest, to interfere with the battle at this time is clearly an enemy of the entire Sarleon Realm.

Only selfish and stupid people will make trouble at this time, and there is a high probability that they are from Brennus.

This is the main reason why Li Ang let Inna go.

In order to simplify complicated matters, and to kidnap all neutral nobles, even smarter enemies.

Allowing the murderer of Ulrik to escape back to Fieldsway alive is not only a reason for launching a national war, but also an easy way to identify those who have ulterior motives.

It's rare for a fool to act recklessly at such a time. During the war, Li Ang can completely use military law to handle matters - that is, he can kill people directly without trial.

At the same time, Amy promised that whoever can avenge the king in the war against Fieldsway will become the Duke of Lion Lake City.

As for Brennus, Amy also made it clear that whoever can kill the rebel Brennus and regain Cliff Bay will become the Duke of Cliff Bay.

The goals, future, and opportunities for advancement are all clearly placed in front of the nobles of the Lion Kingdom.
