Mount and Blade

——Norud Kahuati——

There was no time to rest and recuperate the troops under his command who had experienced a fight. Edward felt that the chill all over his body was as cold as falling into an ice cave and could not be dispelled from his heart. Even the sunshine at noon in summer could not make him feel warm.

So much so that he didn't even know when he led his army out of the gates of the capital, Norudkahuati.

More than 3,500 Grand Dukes were stationed in Norudka Huati, and now the entire capital was completely under the Grand Duke's control. He Kun doesn't trust anyone now, not even the nobles who follow him.

The cunning snake never leaves its lair easily. He always sends scouts to repeatedly deliver news, keeping abreast of Edward's latest news.

He Kun looked at the defeated generals under the steps, and he had never felt so happy. The group of prisoners were escorted to the palace hall. It was time to settle the accounts for so many years! !

...He did not promise Edward that these prisoners would leave alive!

...

As a supervisor, Madwood became Edward's lieutenant. The corners of his mouth curled up coldly, and the country was indeed coming to an end.

Although as a traditional Grant man, he felt a little shameful when he heard the Archduke's decision. However, since this country has given him nothing in return, why should he meddle? Anyway, he was happy to see the scene of father and son fighting.

The first one to be liquidated was Kirsten's Guards camp. The rebel soldiers who had lost their spirit after a fierce battle were undoubtedly the best candidates. They were extremely angry that the Allies did not arrive in time to support the incident, and The Guards barracks, which was as ordinary as ever, were still having lunch leisurely.

"...Your Excellency Edward, what's the matter with bringing so many people here?" Several lieutenants under General Kirstine were not there either. Only a newly appointed General of the Guards and his lieutenants hurriedly arrived. Come.

...It turns out that Kirsten is not in the military camp. Edward looked at this place with no energy. Although Kirsten, as a hero of the Principality of Grant and a famous general, still took the honorific title of general, in fact Kirsten had retired from the army long ago, but the newly appointed general of the Guards It is indeed the new nobles who came from General Kirsten.

But even so, the Guards will not be dispatched at will. Only He Kun's military command talisman or Kirstin's own prestige in the army can drive this backbone team of the Principality of Grant.

They were different from the private soldiers of the old nobles who were rushed to fight for the Grand Duke before the blood on their bodies was completely dry. In order to preserve the dignity of the nobles, the blood on Edward's face was wiped away by Furda before leaving. Edward looked up at the sky with his somewhat dirty eyes, as if he was no different from before. His mother told him to return safely.

"Why don't you come for support? I think you don't know anything about this matter."

The newly appointed general of the Guards frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency Edward, the dispatch of the army cannot be decided by us alone. It involves many things."

Edward sneered: "Humph, it involves a lot? Yes, you are the Guards of the principality, and you only fight for the country."

At this time, the adjutant who had been standing silently said: "Your Excellency Edward, we have asked Kirsten for instructions many times, but we have not received a response. If General Kirsten cannot come, We cannot easily shake the morale of the army!”

After hearing this, a hint of sarcasm flashed in Edward's eyes, "The so-called request for instructions is just an excuse to pass the buck. I'm afraid Kirstin just wants to stay out of the matter and watch the tiger fight from afar, so he can reap the benefits, right?"

The adjutant's face turned red and he was about to retort, but the Guards General raised his hand to stop him. The general looked Edward directly in the eyes and said: "Your Excellency Edward, you misunderstood. Although General Kirsten has retired from the army, his loyalty to the principality has never changed."

"It's just that the situation is complicated now, and there is a game between various forces behind it. We must act cautiously. I absolutely cannot let the Guards fall into the trap of the enemy, or be used... to do things that are detrimental to the principality." The general possesses the peculiar old-fashioned and integrity of the Grant people.

Even though Edward led a large army to surround the military camp, he did not show any fear, but instead spoke out.

Edward stared at the Guards General, and a hint of sarcasm flashed across his eyes. This rigid look really looked like that idiot Gulenberudo! !

"Haha...hahahahahaha!" Edward's facial muscles suddenly trembled involuntarily. The long-term suppression made him smile almost like a maniac, and it was difficult to control himself.

He just felt so panicked in his heart, it was ridiculous, and he couldn't do anything. There was only one word difference between prince and king, but they were a world of difference!

"Things that are not good for the principality..." It took Edward a long time to recover from his madness, as if the lunatic just now was not him. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke: "Unfortunately, this country will be completely destroyed soon. "

The unprepared Guards troops had been completely controlled by Edward's soldiers.

"What are you doing? Even you can't..." Before the Guards general could react, Madwood, who was following Edward, showed the military order to mobilize the Guards.

Seeing the military order, the face of the general of the Guards turned pale instantly. He never thought that Edward would have such a key thing. The adjutants on the side were also surprised and angry, but they did not dare to act rashly under the heavy army.

And the group of rebel soldiers who could not wait for the reinforcements to arrive had already pressed the guards who dared to resist to the ground impatiently. Why did they desperately want to save the country in Norudkahuadi?

The reason why they could hold on for so long was because the soldiers under the old nobles knew that Grand Duke Hekun was going to sell the entire principality to Juda, and they were all confidants of the stubborn nobles.

Edward put away his smile, his eyes were cold and resolute, he looked at the general of the Guards and said: "General, what else do you have to say now? Here is the military order, and you guards should obey the deployment."

The general of the Guards took a deep breath, although he was angry, he still tried to calm down: "Sir Edward, even with the military order, you can't convince others with such behavior. There must be a hidden story behind this, don't drag the principality into a deeper abyss."

Edward no longer paid attention to his words, turned around and ordered Madwuxiu: "Keep these guards soldiers under guard, if there is resistance, kill them without mercy." Madwuxiu took the order and began to command the soldiers to act.

Ha, isn't it your inaction that dragged the principality into the abyss? Well, how can these reckless men who only know how to fight on the battlefield understand the current situation of the Principality of Grant.

——The army is just a tool to achieve political goals.

He knew that his move was to destroy the last foundation of the principality bit by bit. He had tried to save the country, but now everything was beyond his control.

In the palace, He Kun heard the news that Edward had successfully controlled the Guards camp, and a smug smile appeared on his face.

"You heard it too, right? My son has controlled the Guards, and Kirstin is not in the camp. The Grunberudo you admire is completely finished, hahahahahahahaha."

The defeated generals under the steps, including Dick, listened to He Kun's arrogant and complacent words and madman-like laughter, but dared not speak. They knew that He Kun was in power at the moment, and any resistance might bring disaster, and the cruelly tortured corpses next to him were the best proof.

He Kun was looking forward to how Edward would further purge those former close friends of his and the forces that could threaten his rule, regardless of the fact that the principality was already in turmoil.

...It's a pity that he couldn't see his son's collapsed expression with his own eyes.

After all... he had already planned to sell the country out to Jodah. No matter how dilapidated it was, it had nothing to do with him.
