The lieutenant will lead the way for the king.
The prison environment in Banz City is very poor. In the past, most people detained here were only fighting guys. The general of the rebel army was the highest-ranking prisoner in the history of this small prison.
The lieutenant held a torch and illuminated the narrow passage for the king.
He was wounded in the battle, but none of those who survived the bloody battle was intact, even the king had arrow wounds on his shoulder. When the lieutenant later heard about the king's performance on the battlefield, he felt as if he had seen another William III, or a Duke of Buckingham.
The people of the Rose family seem to have madness flowing in their blood vessels.
The rebel commander, General Ayton, was held at the bottom of the prison, and none of the other prisoners survived except him. When the king was clearing the battlefield, he ordered the massacre of nearly a thousand prisoners of war and the wounded of the rebel army. There was no chivalry and ruthlessness in the order, but there was no dissenting voice in Banz City.
The men of Banz City all died in this war, and those who survived would rather use blood to soothe their grief and hatred than to be humane.
A tooth for a tooth, blood for blood.
General Ayton was in his early thirties, and he was not like Prince Will.
He came from a very ordinary background. He was originally just a nobody, and later joined the riots in the North. He climbed up step by step by relying on his military exploits during the war, and finally became a general. In the Northland, his story was legendary to many young men who had joined the rebellion.
Before that, General Ayton had refused to be interrogated by anyone, and he was left speechless in the freezing cell.
"I've always wanted to see you." Seeing the king who stepped into the cell, General Ayton shook the iron lock on his wrist. For the first time, he squinted at the king and said, "I want to see if the Duke of Buckingham can serve so much. Who is it for so many years?"
The king surveyed the captured general.
General Ayton, in his thirties, looked like he was forty, the harsh natural environment of the Northland and years of life on the battlefield ground him to a hard rock. He was born in a refugee without the dignity of a general, and he looked no different from any common Northland warrior.
"Now you see it."
The king took the torch from the lieutenant.
"Is that idiot Will dead?"
General Ayton did not seem to have the slightest sense of being a prisoner.
"died."
The lieutenant felt that the current scene was a bit strange. One was the king of Legrand and the other was the general of the rebel army. When the two sides met, the conversation was considered peaceful. The king who wanted to know about the Duke of Buckingham's death was not as furious as he had imagined.
"All the prisoners of war..." General Ayton paused, "are they also dead?"
"died."
The king looked at him calmly.
General Ayton moved his fingers, and he let out a long breath: "You are really like your father. He also gave such an order back then. But it's not wrong. If it was me, I would do the same."
After all, there are not many Legrand troops stationed in Banz City. In order to prevent the rebels from regrouping, this is indeed the best choice.
"You are very concerned about your subordinates," the king said. "You waited so many days just to know if they were alive."
General Ayton laughed silently: "You know what? The Northland has always been poor, and it's cold and hungry here. I promised the young man's parents that I would bring them back safely and bring food and horses with them. … Without them, I am nothing.”
The rocky general looked like a teenage year older the moment he got his answer.
"I know what you want to ask." He looked down at his hand, "but I'm just telling you."
The lieutenant immediately looked at the king: "Your Majesty, he is one of the knights with the highest martial skills in the North..."
Even if it hasn't been done for a few days, in this small space, General Ayton still has the power to strike.
The king interrupted him by raising his hand, motioning him to withdraw.
The lieutenant could only give General Ayton a warning look and handed the torch to the king.
"Your general seems to mistakenly think that you have no intention of killing me." General Ayton tilted his head to look at the retreating lieutenant, and suddenly smiled, "But why do I feel that there is no one in this world who wants to kill me more than you do? people?"
Only General Ayton and the King himself knew that the conversation between them was by no means "peaceful." The real intention to kill is never superficial, the king will not spare anyone involved in the death of his uncle, and General Ayton treats his soldiers like life, and they all have a piercing intention to kill each other.
The king held the torch and looked at him.
The firelight fell on the king's eyes, like a long river of red gold, and like a still lava in a volcanic crater.
"I know from other people who also experienced that battle that on that day, angels joined the battlefield. You call that a miracle, a battle of God's blessing." The king said slowly, "Who is the angel who joined the battle? ?"
The king already knew about the situation that day from the mouths of other prisoners of war.
When the Duke of Buckingham had the upper hand, the angel came. It was not until the angel came that the soldiers knew that there were three holy caskets hidden in the three carriages in their ranks.
Regarding the three holy boxes, the king has certain guesses:
- The "Millennium Kingdom" in the mouth of the devil and the Holy Court is about to arrive, and the laws have been loosened. The Holy Court has collected a large number of holy objects before this is related to this. It is very likely that the three holy caskets contain the holy objects collected by the Holy Court. With the power of the holy objects, the Holy Court temporarily violated the law and let the angels descend. joined that fight.
But who was the one who summoned the angel
The prisoners of war who said these, they did not know more details. The angels were white-robed monks hiding in their ranks before that, but ordinary soldiers didn't know the name of the white-robed monks at all.
And General Ayton in front of him was the one who was responsible for escorting the three holy caskets at that time, and he had direct contact with the white-robed monk.
"Those who told you this should be dead, right?" General Ayton sighed, "They thought you would spare their lives after knowing this... What a fool, what kind of morality and kindness does he want to talk to an iron-blooded monarch? "
"name."
The king was unmoved.
"Can I stand up?" General Ayton raised the chain on his hand. "You wouldn't be afraid of a guy who was chained up, would you?"
The king looked at him coldly and nodded slightly.
General Ayton stood up, he hadn't eaten in days, and stumbled as he stood up. Stable, General Ayton walked into the king.
"his name is… "
The moment he walked into the king, the iron chain in General Ayton's hand made a "crashing" sound, and twisted towards the king's neck like a poisonous snake with lightning.
The lieutenant's judgment was correct.
As a well-known knight in the North, General Ayton still has the power to strike even though he has been imprisoned with injuries for so many days. The people of Banz City used the strongest and heaviest iron rope to attach to General Ayton. At this time, the blue veins on his arm burst out, and the muscles were knotted together, and the iron rope became a murder weapon on his wrist.
There was a flash of fire.
At the moment when the iron rope struck like a snake, the king moved his wrist and sent the torch forward instead of being caught by the iron rope. Almost instantly, there was a "click" sound of the stick breaking. The fire fell to the ground, and the cell suddenly became dark.
The king had no idea that the torches would be able to withstand General Ayton's long-planned blow.
At the moment when the flames flickered, he had already withdrawn to the side.
In the darkness, only a crisp sound of the sword could be heard when the long sword was unsheathed.
clang-
Gold and iron collided, and sparks sputtered.
The torch that fell to the ground ignited the straw spread on the ground, and the fire suddenly became bigger. The cell became bright again.
In the firelight, the king held the sword expressionlessly, the sword mostly submerged in General Ayton's chest, and General Ayton was holding a thin broken sword in his hand, and blood dripped from his hand.
That fragmented sword was the real weapon that General Ayton used to kill the king.
Whether it was attacking with iron cables in the front or making a sound in the darkness behind the chains, it was just to cover up his real intention to cut the king's throat with a broken sword.
The broken sword was taken by General Ayton from his own wound.
People in Banz City hated him to the bone, and no one healed him, so he successfully hid such a small blade on his body. From the moment he refused to reveal any news, he was preparing for the blow, and these days, he was leaning against the wall to gather as much strength as possible.
The king turned his wrist and drew his sword.
With a sword under his cloak, he had come to kill General Ayton.
As General Ayton said, after the Duke of Buckingham died, he harbored a killing intent stronger than anyone else. The Emperor's anger is hidden beneath his calmness, and when that fire is poured out, it is to burn all enemies.
The blade of the sword in General Ayton's hand fell to the ground, and he fell to his knees, blood spurting out.
"Warwick Bly... that's his name."
General Ayton's voice was broken, and before his death he fulfilled his promise to tell the king of the angel's identity.
"He is... St. Val."
His pupils gradually widened: "...the one who won the battle should have been...was..."[1]
General Ayton collapsed.
"It was the duke who should have won that battle," the king said slowly, the fire illuminating his face.
The Duke of Buckingham would have won the battle if there were no angels involved. Even his enemies acknowledged this.
"In that battle, you should be the one who won."
said the king softly.
…
The lieutenant waited anxiously outside the prison.
He knew that the king still had a wound on his shoulder. The king had not come out for so long, and he was worried that General Ayton would violently hurt the king. Just as the vice president was pacing back and forth, unable to wait any longer, there were footsteps behind him.
The heart that the lieutenant raised finally fell back.
He rushed forward to meet the king.
After he saw the figure slowly walking out of the prison, the lieutenant was suddenly shocked.
The king slowly walked out of the darkness with a skull.
The head belonged to General Ayton and was dripping blood. There was no expression on the king's face, but the lieutenant felt as if he was wrapped in a heavy blood. At this moment, the lieutenant had some kind of hunch... Maybe, the king will walk on more corpses and blood in the days to come.
His royal robes will be full of blood.
"Let someone go inside to put out the fire." The king said lightly, and he handed General Ayton's head to the lieutenant, "Hang him above the gate of the castle."
Compared with Prince Will, General Ayton has a higher prestige in the hearts of the northern mob, and he is the real banner of the rebel army. As long as he lives, new young men will join the rebellion. The death of a hero is far more important than the death of a prince who has no noble blood.
The latter disintegrates an army, the former disintegrates the will.
"You..." The lieutenant wanted to say something, but couldn't.
The king had stepped into the cold wind outside, and the wind blew his robe, which seemed to be covered with blood. He will cut off their heads, crush their sinful bones, and make their souls perpetually kneel in the grave.
He never jokes.
"Retire the army. As soon as Sean arrives, he will immediately set off to retake Newcana Castle."
King ordered.
