Chapter 251 Duke Wesson is Coming

The ancient capital of thousands of years occupies an important place, with tall gates and big houses, magnificent and magnificent, full of traffic, thousands of miles away, beautiful bells and phoenixes.

Now, thick clouds have shrouded Constantbul for more than a month, and it has been raining continuously, and colorful mushrooms have grown on the door panels and window frames of some houses.

In the palace, a fat man weighing more than 300 kilograms paced restlessly back and forth, and the soft wool carpet was dented by stepping on it.

The female slave in charge of the incense burner lit the incense, and the soft aroma filled every corner of the palace in a short while.

But this didn't seem to calm Phocas, instead he grabbed the female slave and threw him out of the palace gate.

The female slave rolled several times on the ground, and the incense burner flew towards her and hit her forehead.

The blood-stained female slave got up, and regardless of the blood that had passed over her white neck, she bowed respectfully towards the palace, picked up the incense burner and left.

Before the cleaning slaves could clean up the incense ash on the ground, an iron can came to the palace and reported to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the Griffin Knights... are all over, and all the griffins have been beheaded."

On the emperor's golden throne, Phocas's face instantly became ferocious.

He raised the slave girl who was used to vent his anxiety, and slammed it hard at the tin can.

Amid the sound of the skull shattering, the tin can was knocked back and forth, and finally fell outside the palace gate with a bang, leaving the female slave's body behind and slipped away.

The other female slaves in the palace lowered their heads one by one, afraid that they would be next.

Soon after, six teams of cavalry rushed out of the palace, holding the banner of the order.

On the edge of the port, a group of dock workers sat bored under the awning, some lay down to reduce consumption, and some played cards together. The rules were too complicated for them, and they could only play the simplest comparison of size.

If it was the past, the port at this time was full of cargo ships. Although they were tired, they still had a meager income enough to support their families.

It’s just that these days the port is much empty than before, with only a few ships docking, and more and more ships leaving, and even some ships have to sail even if they are empty, and the workers have no work to do.

"Alas..." A bald man sighed, and made a one-on-two, "When will this day be a head?"

The scar-face next to him was right, and he sighed and said: "Now there is no work, beans have become more expensive, and there are old and young at home, life is hard to live."

Next, the bearded man who played on the fifth just sighed and didn't speak.

Then the one-eyed pair of ten and three three-belt pair of two in a row also said helplessly: "Don't talk about you, we are also in trouble. If you don't have money, I can't collect money, but the boss above is still the same as before. Pay the same."

The bearded man suddenly said mysteriously: "Have you heard that the garrison of the Griffin Knights has been destroyed?"

Some of the other three were surprised, while others looked calm.

Scar face shook his head while playing cards: "So what, my family is going to be hungry."

"You can go to the cathedral." The bearded man said to him, "Now steam bread is served in the church, as long as you go there, you can get it. My whole family has been there for two days, and I heard it will continue for a long time."

The bald head also nodded and said: "Yes, I also went yesterday. There were quite a few people going, and the queue took a long time."

Then he stretched out his right hand to show Scarface, and said, "Look, you have to imprint it on your hand when you go to get it. You can get five days' worth at a time, and one person can get fifteen days' worth at most."

Scarface saw five blue dots printed on the back of his hand, and asked him in surprise: "Which master is so kind?"

The bearded man and the bald man immediately stopped talking.

Instead, he looked around with one eye and whispered, "Who else is there, His Royal Highness Prince Dragases."

Scarface opened his mouth in shock, and quickly reacted, and said very worriedly: "Is there going to be a war, and whoever eats his food will help him fight the war."

"Just because you are worthy?" One Eye looked at him disdainfully, "Do you know who the prince asked for help?"

Scarface shook his head, he didn't even know that there was food in the church, let alone such a thing.

One-eyed smiled smugly, looked around again, and said in a low voice: "Have you heard of the Duke of Wessen from the upper reaches of the Danube and Rhine? He is the apprentice of His Excellency Richard Nall. Taking the head of an enemy general among thousands of troops is like taking something out of a pocket. Leading 800 people by the Elbe River can kill 10 people, and then they can run to the outside of Hanma City, which is tens of kilometers away, and hack them to death. A king. His neighboring country has been fighting for several years, and he called two kings in the past to ask if he could show me face, and those two countries dare not fight any more!"

"Did you know that Duke Wesson's army is not simple. Those are devils who came out of hell. They usually look like people, but when they go to the battlefield, they become big-eyed, long-faced, and black. No knife can cut through your skin!"

"Hey... hurry up and play your cards."

Scarface was so dumbfounded, he forgot to play all the cards in his hand.

"That's the devil." He said incredulously, "Doesn't the church care?"

"Hehe," One Eye smiled disdainfully, "It seems that you don't know, in fact, Duke Wesson is the messenger of the God of Light, and there are angels attached to him, and those demons are all influenced by him!"

Scarface was stunned for a moment, and after the others urged him to play his cards, he said, "So, His Royal Highness Prince Dragases is coming back."

"Yes." One-eyed nodded and said, "I heard that their fleet will land here. When the time comes, everyone be smart and run home if you see something wrong."

Scarface thought for a while, and said, "Forget it, I'd better go out of the city to live with my wife's mother's house for a while, and come back when I settle down."

The bearded man also said after hearing this: "I thought so too. I'll go to the cathedral later and ask if I can get some more steam bread to eat on the way. Hey, I won!"

Just as they were shuffling the cards, an accident happened suddenly near the port.

"boom!"

A military camp near the port suddenly exploded violently, and the white smoke cloud could be seen far away.

A salted fish fell from the sky and gave a tail to the bald head, causing his scalp to turn red.

The few of them and the other dock workers dared to stay here, and ran away without poker.

The huge explosion threw the whole of Constantine into chaos in an instant, and pedestrians on the road immediately ran to their homes.

After a while, another military camp behind the west wall also exploded, and there was a burst of barley rain around.

Soon there were rumors in the city that the troops of Prince Dragases and Duke Wesson had entered the city, all in black helmets and armor: Mourning the late emperor.
