Chapter 642: Gifts and choices (1/2)
The early morning of the eighth day came.
Under the command of the king, the troops in St. Sunil's city that still had certain combat capabilities were quickly organized to perform the first counterattack to the city.
The troops that were ordered to leave were divided into two groups, one was the Knights of the Royal Family loyal to the King, and the other was a mixed knight group composed of the children of the nobles of the kings and the private soldiers. The two teams wore the times at the peak of the morning glow. Crossing the city gate, it looks different in style -
The number of the royal knights is sparse. The number of people who survived the battle is only 40% of the original. They are wearing scarred armor. The blood on the weapons has not even been wiped off. They are like a group of rust-colored war sculptures. Silently crossed the city gate, murderous and restrained but orderly.
Compared with them, the other team is noisy and arrogant. The colorful flags are flying over the team. The noble armor and the ruddy and full-bodied knights ride on the high-end big horse. It is like a costume. The troupe, all the way to blowing and beating, is very lively, and between the different teams of different flags, you can also see that the heraldic flag with colored lace is flying high, which is a means of showing off the nobility of the nobility.
Of course, they have to show off, because the next "battle" will be a performance with almost no risk, just like the hunting of the autumn and winter seasons. The world-famous people hold the enchanted bows and arrows, and the knights are tightly guarded. Go hunting and kill a group of beasts that have been forced into desperation. Regardless of the process, as long as the final arrow is inserted on the beast, the person who pulls the bow and archery can win a "brave" name, but now they are going to take it. This brave name.
After all, speculators also know their own stains, especially those who have prepared for the transfer of property, and finally swear by the king to swear allegiance, they urgently need some "war fruit" to make their face.
This victory was not for the king, but for Gavin Cecil.
It was a Duke of warfare. At this moment, it was a force to turn the tide. This kind of duke will definitely pay attention to the performance of the parties in the previous battle of the city after entering the capital, so it is timely to accumulate some merits for himself. Accumulating resources in the political investment that has come down – anyone with a vision can see that the situation in Ansu will be completely shuffled after the end of the war, and the east and the north will decline, and even the west will be hurt. The bones, only the South, are the real winners, just like the end of the foggy month of a hundred years ago, in the name of "Regency", the same as the Wilde family of Ansu.
As for the king...the poor king, his kingship is probably the end of the moment when the Duke of Govin? Cecil enters the city.
The Count of the Emperor Urel, the king of the royal family, looked up and looked back at the Wang Qi, which was fluttering on the tall wall of St. Sunil. He couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh with the sigh of the northern high society. "It's a pity. The king is only free for eight days."
The other person echoed alongside: "Yeah, broke away from Wilde, ushered in Cecil... Who could have thought of this a few years ago?"
Earl of Jury smiled sternly: "I have purchased a large number of alchemy pharmacy and magical armor in the South. As his important customer, I think Gaowen? Grand Duke Cecil will have some impressions on me."
"Of course, my friend, your investment vision has always been admirable..."
......
Welsh stood on the wall and watched the team in the direction of the "crow platform" marching for a long time.
The voice of the Duke of Badwin rang: "Your Majesty."
"Look, there is a sleek team," Wales said, raising his head and pointing his chin to the team that was moving forward. "The armor is brand new, the horses have no scars, and the flags are just coming out of the warehouse." Bai Dewen, you said where they were hiding before?"
"...hidden in the dirty belly of those people."
Wales turned to look in surprise: "...you are going to be awkward."
“Only when necessary,” said Bai Dewen, faintly. “Compared to this, your Majesty, do you confirm that your choice is necessary?”
"I have seen your efforts with the Grand Duke of Victoria and witnessed the opposition and split between the reformists and the conservatives. I have seen how the lords have increased their wealth and eroded the cultivated land of the free people. How have you seen the so-called 'factory reform'? It became a new excuse for enclaving land and made civilians more displaced. I am familiar with all the rules of the upper class in this kingdom, and in this rule I found a truth..."
Paterson quietly looked at the king in front of him.
"Our reforms have not been successful because we have not enough to get rid of them. Ansu wants to be prosperous and strong, not at the negotiating table."
After saying this, Wales suddenly laughed: "And I am really curious, what kind of choice will the founding hero make in the face of such a problem, I have set up such a stage, can I let him also I have nothing to do..."
......
The sound of artillery from the No. 2 highland gradually subsided. In the command post, information about the frontline war situation was continuously summarized in front of Gaowen.
Overall, the battlefield was developing according to the plan. When the cluster giants became frantic monsters, the things that the Cecil Corps had to consider became simpler—the monsters lacking command and tactics naturally lacked change. The development of good tactics can basically be consistent with the deduction without big mistakes, and as the commanders and soldiers at all levels become more and more comfortable with this battlefield, the situation can be said to have no major changes.
Above the magic net terminal next to the map table, Philip's bust is floating on the holographic projection: "... already close to the valley corridor, we can reach the St. Sunil area as soon as tomorrow..."
“Very good,” Gao Wen said, nodding his head in satisfaction. There was no praise in the tone. The original confluence time was actually three days later, but the main force of the ground led by Philip was born two days earlier, which further ensured the situation. The balance tilts to one's side, "but how can you be so fast?"
"The enemy's counterattack is smaller than expected. It seems that a large number of monsters that had been wandering in the central plains have been attracted to the St. Sunil area," Philip explained. "But we still have enough fire blockade along the way. You can rest assured at this point."
Gao Wen nodded, then exchanged a few words about the war with Philip, and then ended the newsletter.
The North-South blockade line is finally about to close.
He sighed a little, felt a little relaxed in his heart, then turned his head and wanted to discuss with Victoria next to him the arrangement to enter the kingdom, but before he spoke, he heard the sound of amber coming from afar. :
"You said that you are sending a letter, you are sending a letter--you are still hiding in the letter, you are still hiding this thing?"
Gao Wen looked up curiously and saw that Amber was dragging a person to come to this side, and the one who was covered with her arms and eyes was a young man with black lightweight leather and familiar face. man.
The Victoria standing next to him recognized the man’s identity at first sight: "The Dark Crow?"
