Chapter 344 Royal Capital ()

Ankylosaurus calendar year 416, late autumn.

The king's earls rebelled, poured out their troops, and advanced all the way, conquering three towns in succession. They collected refugees, guards, and defeated troops with incredible speed and efficiency. After receiving covert support, the number of troops quickly increased to 70,000. , the momentum is overwhelming.

At the same time, chaos once again broke out in the Norvos Plains. The Spars family and Ashwood formed an alliance, leaving the fortress army with no time to worry about.

On the night when the individual martial arts competition ended, King Asra was awakened by the minister in charge of the ceremony. After receiving the news, the imperial court meeting was held urgently.

The recorder only dared to write three words: The emperor was furious.

The superior minister Darius reported that the Knights of King's Blood should be dispatched to quell the rebellion, but the nobles unanimously opposed it.

King Asra decided to use the garrison, but found out about the military parade.

The edict was indeed covered with the king's private seal and royal crest, but like many matters, King Asra had no impression at all. He only spent no more than ten minutes handling affairs every day and had no time to check them one by one.

Five king-blood knights immediately dispatched.

Confront the rebels head-on.

Nine days later, the news came back.

The Knights of the King's Blood were completely wiped out. The invincible army that should have had 50,000 knights actually had less than 13,000 people. The weapons were outdated and the horses were old. The richest country in the world consumes 20% of taxes every year, and the troops it maintained were in ruins. .

King Asra first executed hundreds of beauties, and then ordered the remaining five Royal Blood Knights to enter the city.

The second ancestral prince was put on trial. This time the process was made public. The reason was that the latest report from the Tribunal revealed that His Majesty’s new-born child had a different bloodline. At the same time, the masked dance was discovered, the new queen was imprisoned, and all the people who had gotten along with it were wiped out. Beheading.

Ariel presided over the trial of the second ancestor prince for some reason.

At the third imperial court meeting.

A large number of nobles were beheaded, and King Asra frantically vented his anger. All those who had benefited from the Royal Blood Knights incident died without mercy.

The remaining sanity allowed him to appoint the first prince as the governor of the royal territory, with Sariel as his deputy, leading 10,000 king-blooded knights, 20,000 garrison troops, and 20,000 infantry to be fully responsible for defending the city.

In the name of the imperial court, he issued King Qin's edict to the four great dukes and urged the nobles under the king's leadership to organize military support.

On the second day after the summons was issued, the count's rebels arrived in the royal capital. Their troops had expanded to one hundred thousand, many of whom were wearing armor engraved with noble crests.

……

Late in the evening, the setting sun melts into the sky.

The golden-red sunset fell towards the distant mountain top.

On the south city gate, on the wide city wall that could allow dozens of war horses to run side by side, a stone castle with scrollwork patterns carved on the outside stood, and the surrounding area was heavily guarded.

In the stone castle, the first prince sat in the main seat. He looked at Uncle Wang, who was much younger than himself, and said seriously:

"Uncle Wang, I hope you can secretly leave the city and organize reinforcements from all over the king's territory to cut off the enemy's retreat. Then we can attack from both inside and outside. Only in this way can we have a chance of winning."

More than a dozen palace nobles who also served as senior military officers remained silent. Most of them came from the military court and were under the command of Darius. Now the superior minister was guarding the Silver Palace to prevent secret spies and assassins from causing trouble.

"There is no need to mention this matter again. Brother Wang said that we must stick to the end, so I will not resist the king's order. I am willing to give up such great achievements." Jiang Yuan said calmly. The royal capital is surrounded by crises, including the recent invitation from the new queen. , it was obvious in hindsight that it was a frame-up. "In that case, then Uncle Wang will guard the east gate and leave the south to me." The first prince said with deep eyes.

"It's impossible."

Jiang Yuan stood up and left the table, mounted his alchemy horse and ran along the city wall. Two teams of guards followed behind him. To the right of his sight, densely packed military camps were spread out on the ground. Before he reached the end of the south wall, a new round of attacks began. Then start again.

The enemy's earth king-level magician used a wide range of earth barriers. Four earth platforms rose to a height that was almost the same as the city wall. Each attack meant that the opponent had completed the recovery of magic power.

The rebels launched a fierce attack, which was actually considered elite compared to the defenders. The magicians from both sides launched long-range attacks at each other. The swordsmen fought at close range, and blood gradually accumulated into shallow puddles. Countless corpses gradually fell from the city walls.

The swords attached to the fighting spirit cut through the armor, and fireballs shot down intensively, roasting the flesh and blood. The longbows were raised at the same time, arrows were flying like rain, and the axe-heavies wielded huge long-handled axes again and again. These people with amazing natural bravery This guy can smash the enemy's soldiers and armor together.

Occasionally, fires broke out in several places, and the burning blood gave off a pungent smell. One of the city-defending infantrymen lifted the body of his comrade high, and then threw it forward, hitting several enemy soldiers in an instant.

The alchemy horse crushed a broken palm, and Jiang Yuan came to the east side of the city. The leader of the defenders here was Duke Pilemon, who was sitting on two corpses to rest.

"What do you think his purpose is?"

Ignoring the words of respect, Duke Pilemeng asked. They were both from the Second Princess Faction, and being assigned to the same place had advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage was that they lost their vision of the overall situation.

"do not know."

Jiang Yuan dismounted. He only brought two teams of guards, a total of fifty people. The remaining 550 people of the Iron Guard were stationed at the manor. Xia Mi, Sheng Yi, Sheng Yi's deputy, Luo Qixi, and six assassins Moreover, the ten sword masters can still guarantee safety no matter how chaotic they are. What's more, he also handed over the second matrix dagger to Xia Mi so that he can retreat at any time without any worries.

Night was approaching, and under the afterglow, the most violent attack began. There were only 8,000 infantrymen on the east wall. Fortunately, there were no earth king-level magicians on the enemy's side. There were only one or two earth saints close by. The battle situation was at best a bit tragic. .

"Something's wrong, how could a count recruit so many masters?" When Pillemon saw a Northern Sword Master ascending to the top of the city, he immediately asked his guards to stop him. The opponent was the first guy to break through the defense in a while.

Although the Sword Master is strong, his fighting spirit is limited, with high attack and low defense. Everything in this world has magic power, even corpses on the roadside. Fighting spirit and magic come from the same source, and refined steel is known as magic steel and has a certain attack resistance. .

Armored soldiers are the best tools to consume the energy of strong men.

After dozens of guards were killed, the dense fireballs from the magician group scattered. The sword master was forced to jump back into the air. Jiang Yuan opened the blood long bow and penetrated the enemy's head with an arrow.

"I saw the coat of arms of Boreas." Jiang Yuan said.

Pilegmon was speechless, and there was no movement in the Boreas territory. Duke Sauros was a supporter of the first prince, and the inside story behind it was extremely scary.

With the death of the Juggernaut, the attack temporarily came to an end.

Due to the conditions, dinner was not considered a luxury.

Pickled fish, white bread, ointment, roasted meat, thick soup mixed with legumes, grains and fresh vegetables, even the dukes and previous princes could not eat too exquisitely.

Not even halfway through the meal, facing the moonlight, the war drums beat again.

"It's really crazy." Pilemeng muttered, stood up with his sword drawn, and directed officers at all levels to fight.
