Chapter 510 Golan is at stake (two in one)

Desperation spread throughout the Kingdom of Golan.

When the news of the king's capture spread throughout the country, Golan was already in a precarious situation.

No one could have predicted that those dwarves would be able to build an incredible army one day.

The power of the dwarves not only shocked Golan, but also shocked the surrounding countries.

The Kingdom of Golan often marries and forms alliances with foreign kings or lords, thereby establishing friendly relations and maintaining the prosperity and stability of the country. However, when the Kingdom of Golan asked for assistance from the neighboring Republic of Kaslam, it was directly rejected .

The Republic of Kaslam is a commercial city-state republic. They make a living from maritime trade, connecting the trade routes between the dwarf kingdoms and the Descheel Empire. In fact, at the beginning, many people in the senate of the republic advocated sending troops However, after learning that the King of Golan had been captured, the merchants of the Republic chose to tear up the covenant.

"It's only a matter of time before the Kingdom of Golan is conquered, and Leon Deos is clearly on the side of the dwarves."

"Instead of sending troops to assist and destroy our relationship with the dwarves, it's better not to help each other, so as to earn the greatest benefit."

"The envoys from the Deschanel Empire have stated in a few days that that huge empire will stand on the side of the dwarves."

"Even the king is captured,

There is no way they can defeat the dwarves! "

The Golan king was captured, the dwarves were unstoppable, and the pressure from Deschanel made the Republic of Kaslam choose to refuse after weighing the pros and cons.

"Your king has been captured, and you have no noble blood left to negotiate."

The neighboring country, the Republic of Kaslam, gave a negative answer. Fearing the power of the dwarves, they chose to tear up the covenant and refused to send troops to aid.

The envoys of Golan had no choice but to return to the king's city in embarrassment, and repeat the neighbor's reply to the tearful queen.

"Those profit-seeking businessmen! I knew they were all a bunch of bastards!"

The queen was of course furious, and she lay powerlessly on the queen's seat, twitching non-stop.

The envoys sent to other neighboring countries received unsatisfactory answers. When the kings and lords who were allied with the Golan Kingdom heard the news that the Golan King had been captured, they all hesitated. They chose to fulfill the agreement, and some kings and lords even directly persuaded the Golan Kingdom to conduct peace talks or surrender directly, accept mediation, and strive for favorable conditions.

When the total number of reinforcements obtained from other countries was less than 4000, and even some lords and nobles in the kingdom chose to sit on the sidelines and watch, the princes and nobles of the Golan Kingdom finally found that they were swallowing the bitter pill of despising the dwarves.

After all, who made them rush and let their king be captured?
In the eyes of the world, gods and kings are the reason for the existence of the kingdom and the symbol of the whole kingdom.

At this critical moment, there was an atmosphere of remorse in the royal city of Nuolang, but the dwarf's pace would not stop because of the regret of the Golan people.

Maxwell, who was under house arrest, clearly felt the haze that permeated the royal city of Nuolang.

Those royal servants who had despised him and neglected him in the past have also withdrawn their previous arrogance and domineering in the past few days, and have been more courteous to themselves.

Maxwell was puzzled at first, but after a little inquiring, he knew why.

Facing the mighty dwarf army, the king was defeated, and all the forts and cities along the road were conquered. Almost no one was able to win in the face of the dwarf army, and fear and despair were rampant.

At this time, the people in the royal city finally remembered that although Maxwell lost the Helong Mountain Range, he had won once.

How desperate was the Kingdom of Golan, so that this victory, which was not enough to change the situation of the battle, was so precious that it began to be sought after by thousands of people.

"You call me Dwarf Killer, Dwarf Buster?"

Maxwell thought it was funny,

"No, it was just a fluke, and I'm awaiting trial, I'm a sinner, there's nothing I can do."

After speaking, Maxwell sighed sadly.

His king was captured.

Even though Hudson treated him like this and put him under house arrest, Maxwell still couldn't help mourning, not only for the king, but also for the country under his feet.

But now, he is under house arrest as a sinner, and there are guards outside the door day and night. He can do nothing but watch the kingdom fall.

The experienced Maxwell can deduce from the consecutive fall of the fortress and the lightning-fast marching speed of the dwarves that the dwarves are slaughtering and plundering. The cruel king of dwarves did not come to rule Golan. , but to conquer Golan and make the Golan people come back as slaves.

A dozen days ago, when he thought about this, Maxwell would still clenched his fists at the brutal behavior of the dwarves.

But now Maxwell is disheartened because he has never heard the news that the princes and nobles are determined to release him.

Today's king city has no leader, some people want to continue to fight, some people want to compromise, some people desperately want to save the king, and some people advocate that the prince should be crowned immediately.

In such a chaotic situation, few of the princes and nobles may have set their sights on Maxwell.

Sometimes Maxwell would wake up from nightmares, weeping and wetting one side of his pillow - he dreamed that Golan had been destroyed.

Maxwell is so negative and hopeless.

However, sometimes, there is always a kind of destiny in the world, and when it is overturned, some people need to stand up and take on the inherent mission.

In the middle of the night, Maxwell heard the call of the God of Winter.

"Is it you? Skadi, the cold god of winter!"

Maxwell said in astonishment, he vaguely saw an illusory figure under the cold moonlight.

"Maxwell, only you are left."

How concise Skadi's words are, just like countless legends about this winter god in history.

Maxwell was stunned, he couldn't figure out the meaning of the oracle, when he wanted to ask, Skadi had disappeared before his eyes.

"This...what's going on...Is it a hallucination?"

Maxwell slumped down on the chair, murmuring in a low voice.

That's the night Maxwell wondered if it was a hallucination.

In the royal city, under the high-pressure atmosphere, a riot broke out, or an uprising. Under the organization of unknown people, the people blatantly trampled on the curfew law. They crossed the streets and crowded outside the palace, demanding that the queen release Mai Swell, he will lead the army of the kingdom to resist the invasion of Calrond.

Today's princes and nobles have already come together because the dragons have no leader. When the people organized, some people thought that the dwarves were coming and prepared to flee in a hurry, but the shouts of the people alarmed the queen. The timid woman immediately agreed to set Maxwell free.

Maxwell was almost unprepared for all this. When the guards opened his door, he didn't know what was going on until he was brought before the people.

"You rescued me, Skadi rescued me..."

Maxwell couldn't help crying. He was under house arrest for many days. He was already desperate for the situation, but he didn't expect that one day he would stand up and take on the safety of a country.

It was a coup d'état, a coup d'état by the Golans themselves.

Due to the chaos in the royal city, the princes and nobles were arguing endlessly. Their opinions were not unified. No one could stand up and subdue the crowd. The chaos continued, causing the kingdom to almost collapse under the attack of the dwarves. Successive failures have led to even greater chaos. This is a vicious circle, and it seems that it will not stop until Golan is destroyed.

And this coup, like a huge external force, broke the vicious circle from the outside to the inside. There is no doubt that the Golan people in Wangcheng elected a representative, an old general who had been in the army for decades, and they obeyed him. The prestige of the people, obeying his command, the trust of the people is the source of power, because they gathered together, enough to overthrow the king, and enough to support a new king, and Maxwell got their trust, and got the power they bestowed. that power.

From another perspective, the chaos among the princes and nobles created a vacancy in power, and Maxwell filled the vacancy.

A few months ago, the princes and nobles had a contemptuous attitude towards the old general. They gloated and prepared to watch a good show, and the whole kingdom fell into an optimistic atmosphere. Look out and flee.

However, Karl Londe's fierce offensive broke all this completely.

When the king was captured, the cities fell one after another, the land was abused, and the people were bullied, the optimism turned into despair. The dwarves of Karlrond were invincible, and a huge haze fell over the kingdom.

And now, on the seventeenth day of the eleventh month, in the year 317 of the Kaoran calendar, a general returned to lead his army, leading the whole of Golan.

....................................... ..
The rescued Maxwell immediately acted.

The old earl first organized a group of veterans, almost all of whom were Maxwell's personal soldiers from the Helong Mountains. They escaped from the battlefield where the king was captured, and now they are extremely loyal to his earl.

At noon the next day, the princes and nobles were still arguing fiercely. Many of them hoped to re-imprison Maxwell, but Maxwell's actions were far faster than them. He ordered his two The first son led the soldiers to surround the palace, and then walked into the palace under the guard of the soldiers.

The shining swords and spears reflected the panic of the people in the palace. The princes and nobles did not expect that the earl would be so bold that he turned around and surrounded the palace just after his house arrest.

The queen was trembling in her seat. The soldiers' polished armor reflected her beautiful but pale face.

"Your Royal Highness, given the current situation, I ask you for the position of regent, and I swear by Skadi's crown that after saving the king, I will return the regent power."

Maxwell's voice was cold, full of naked threats and temptations.

The queen subconsciously shook her head and refused, but was immediately scolded by the old earl.

"What are you thinking?! Stupid woman, what are you worried about?! We have already reached this point. If the royal city continues to be in such chaos, the entire kingdom will be over!

Are you worried that I will ruin you after I seize power?ah? !Who do you think I am?I have my wife and my lover, I'd rather have a sow than you!But if you don't hand over the power of regent, it will be those old and ugly dwarves who will spoil you! "

Maxwell's words were impolite and mixed with foul language. After being under house arrest for so many days and suffering so much aggrieved, he finally poured out his anger mercilessly at this moment.

The queen was so frightened that her face turned pale. She nodded dully, and the soldiers on the side stepped forward, took away the queen's scepter, and handed it to Maxwell.

In this way, Maxwell took control of the entire palace. He acted decisively and put those ministers who wanted peace talks or surrender under house arrest, and even executed some of them on the spot, leaving behind those who insisted on saving the king. This unifies the chaotic situation in the royal city.

After seizing the power of regent, Maxwell imposed martial law in the royal city, closed the gates, and prevented others from entering and leaving. At the same time, he organized the army of the royal city, the nobles who came to serve the king, and a small number of reinforcements from other countries. He personally led the army Go dig trenches outside the city and build fortifications.

Under Maxwell's thunderous wrist, the originally chaotic royal city gradually became orderly and united.

Maxwell unearthed the machinery previously captured from the dwarves in the royal city's warehouse. It was obvious that the king had underestimated the dwarves of Karlond too much before the expedition, and did not even listen to Maxwell's suggestions. Take those siege engines with you.

"It's just a blessing in disguise."

Maxwell sighed.

Judging from the current point of view, if the king didn't despise the dwarves so much and brought these new machines over, the situation in the royal city would be even worse.

After finding those machines, Maxwell hurriedly called in craftsmen to modify the giant bed crossbow and place it on the city wall, while the steam battering ram was used to guard the city gate.

At the same time, Maxwell learned that the captured dwarf chief was still in prison, and he hurriedly learned more about the way of creation from the latter, in order to add more strength to resist the dwarves' offensive.

On the afternoon of the second day after Maxwell won the regent position, new battle reports came from the front line. The scouts who reported back told him that Er'a City and Serenpus Town had all fallen one after another. The distance is already less than [-] empire miles.

Even though it had been expected, Maxwell still couldn't help but feel dejected when faced with such a difficult situation. The complete fall and demise of Golan was already so close to them.

"This is truly an unprecedented crisis."

Maxwell sighed,

"There are still forty days left...only forty days left..."

The Kingdom of Golan is still in dire straits. Once the royal city falls, the entire kingdom will surely be conquered by Karl Londe. This is the last chance to defend the royal city.
