The king was stationed outside the gate of Beaumari Castle with his rose cavalry, and they watched the fire in the castle ignited from various places overnight.
The king's army surrounded the entire castle, which now became a cage for the rebels, the lions circled their hunting ground, and then indifferently watched the prey in the hunting ground make the last trapped beast fight. Conspiracy and betrayal, the three countries' armies fighting against each other are fighting in the city.
Any soldier who intends to leave the city gate will be precisely harvested by Legrand's longbowmen.
This is the king's sand table, and everything in the sand table follows the king's will.
"It's about to dawn."
General Sheehan stood beside the king and looked up.
In the dark shadows, a vulture circled and flew.
The bald eagle is a large raptor in the high forests of the northern land of Legrand, with a ferocious and greedy nature. Balbo's general is nicknamed "The Vulture", except that he has a huge hooked nose, more importantly, his character is the same as this black raptor in the north, greedy and cold-blooded.
General Vulture is not the kind of person who would rather die than bow his head. If he just told him about the crisis in Balbo King City, if the situation was not favorable for him, General Vulture would indeed surrender.
However, the king did not need the surrender of General Condor.
From the very beginning, the king ordered the state of Anger to assist Count Henry in attacking the Royal City of Balbo, which was a "scheme". But the target of this plan was neither General Vulture nor Lantoft the Red Beard.
The king's goal is Chavos state.
Chavos State is located in the alpine region of the Northland, with sparse population, insufficient food and the weakest strength. And over the years, the king of Chavos has always been greedy, but too cowardly. It is a pawn chosen by the king from among the three rebellious kingdoms.
The defeat of the powerful Newcana and Balbo forced the Chavos State, forcing it to fear and retreat, making it feel that even Newcana and Balbo had failed, and that he could not resist Legrand at all. 's army. The previous day's storming of Blackrock Fortress was also aimed at strengthening this sense of urgency.
The reason why the king deliberately let go of General Vulture was to borrow General Vulture to make the old Marquis of Chavos feel the power of Legrand more intuitively.
This is more convincing than the king's direct secret contact with him.
If you want to completely turmoil Bomari Castle, you also need a fuse, and this fuse is the treasure of the Rose family in the castle.
After learning from the devil that there was a treasure in Beaumari Castle, the king realized why Rantoft was stationed here. There is a certain connection between the Rose family and the mystery, and the treasure of the Rose family can be valued by the Holy Court—perhaps the treasure of the Rose family is one of the holy relics that the Holy Court is looking for. After the angel of St. Var has never returned, Rantoft is eager to find the treasure of the Rose family, so as to obtain the support of the angel for the second time.
When freeing captives, the king made use of this treasure.
With the character of General Vulture, after learning that there is a treasure in the Rose Castle that can allow them to get the help of the Holy Court, the choice they will make must be to surrender first, then join the Marquis, kill Rantoft and snatch the treasure. Leave in the chaos.
Greed is a never-ending sin, the king took the knife called "Humanity" and put it gently on the necks of General Vulture and 'Redbeard' Rantoft, when the time came At that time, their heads were taken away.
In the whole plan, it is very important to have one insignificant person.
The king needs someone to act as a bridge between him and the Marquis of Chavos, and the king is prepared before that. But after breaking Blackrock fortress, the king had better options.
—The personal soldier who was abandoned by General Vulture without hesitation when Blackstone Fortress was captured.
Before life and death, money, and title, this personal soldier betrayed General Vulture and became a secret chess for the king.
Through this personal soldier, Marquis Chavos, who was already in a panic, finally chose to abandon General Vulture and join the king. And tonight, General Condor's original order was to let the king reach the Blackstone Fortress, disconnect the bridge between the second Blackstone Fortress and the contract, and trap the king in the second Blackstone Fortress for their retreat. To gain time.
But the personal soldiers and the old marquis changed this order.
Betrayers are always betrayed by others.
The fire in the city burned until the sky was gray and lighted up. General Sheen saw the smoke in the city gradually subside outside the city. He knew that this was the end of the infighting in the city. He took a deep breath, suddenly felt a little nervous for some reason, and stared at the city gate in front of him.
"opened."
The king said lightly on horseback.
The drawbridge was lowered little by little, and after the drawbridge lay flat on the moat, there was the sound of the metal gears twisting. As the jewel in Legrand's crown, the castle of Beaumarie was made of black stone and metal, so it was indestructible. The heavy boulder city gate made a harsh rubbing sound and slowly opened.
The king stood still, and the rose cavalry did not move.
Those who survived came out of the city.
They threw the white-ground salamander flag into the moat to show their identity, and then the team took off the sword and put it on the ground. This means giving up all resistance and surrendering in the Northland.
Marquis Chavos came out holding a wooden plate. The head of the rebel alliance, Rantoft and Balbo's Eagle, and General Arlu's head was placed on the top of the wooden plate.
The moment the city gate opened, the cold wind poured in with the chill of the morning. Marquis Chavos fought the Cold War.
outside the city gate.
The young King Legrand sat on his horse, the sun had just risen, and the first rays of light fell on the king's draping scarlet robes. The knights with roses engraved on their armors were neatly displayed behind the king, and the lances in their hands pointed straight to the sky, forming a ferocious spear forest, with a dazzling cold glow on the tip of the spear. The north wind blew fiercely from this steel torrent, and displayed hundreds of rose king flags into a dark tide.
At that moment, Marquis Chavos felt that he saw a burning fire and boiling red blood.
Chilling, fierce.
If anything was wrong with him, these haughty knights, led by their monarch, would charge ruthlessly and trample him to the ground.
The chill jumped from the spine to the top of the skull, the marquis knelt down in fear, and raised the wooden plate high:
"The State of Chavos is willing to serve His Majesty!"
The king urged his horse to come forward, and he looked down at the heads of the rebels on the wooden plate. The Marquis only felt that his heart was beating fast, and even though he had surrendered, he still felt only fear.
"Nail to the city gate."
The king pointed at the head of the rebel in the wooden plate with his whip, and said coldly.
The Marquis only felt that his hand was light, and some soldiers had already lifted their heads.
When the soldiers nailed their heads to the city gate, a group of rose knights in full armor came out of the team and lined up solemnly on the section of the road leading to the city gate. The Marquis stepped back and slumped on the ground. When he looked up and saw this scene, he was a little surprised when he saw that the Qiangwei Iron Cavalry suddenly separated a road from the middle.
A total of eight knights in scarlet cloaks carried black coffins out of the team.
At this time, the world was cold, but around the coffin was clearly surrounded by a circle of fiery red roses.
No one spoke, the world was solemn.
The king rolled over and dismounted, and he walked alone to the coffin.
Carrying the coffin is a former subordinate of the Duke of Buckingham. They once fought with the lions of the empire, and before that they knelt before the king, begging the king to give them this task - they failed to accompany the former general to die, so they will take him into the road that he wants to recover all his life soil of.
The coffin was heavy and contained the terracotta clay from which the Duke of Buckingham was last buried.
The king reached out and touched the coffin, as if a scalding fire had spread from the coffin to his palm. He withdrew his hand and ordered:
"Enter the city!"
He took his uncle on the road to Beaumari Castle.
Heaven and earth are silent.
This is Beaumarie Castle, where the former Duke of Buckingham followed William III and attacked it less than twenty miles away. This is the land that the Duke of Buckingham has spent his whole life trying to recover. He guarded Legrand all his life, fought for Legrand all his life, and never set foot here.
The king walked behind the coffin.
The lion of the empire, the Duke of Buckingham, surrounded by his soldiers, was the first to step into this land that the Rose family had lost for too long.
After the eight old knights stepped into the city gate, they slowly lowered the coffin and placed it on the grounds of Beaumari Castle. They knelt down on one knee, raised their fists and beat their hearts: "Lord Duke, we have taken back Bomari!"
"We've taken back Bomari!"
they shouted.
They were sent by the Duke of Buckingham to assist the king in his army and lost the chance to accompany the old general in his final battle. They fought silently all the way, and fought bravely at the forefront of all battles, fighting for their generals and fulfilling the greatest wish of their lives for the Duke of Buckingham.
This is February 1432.
In the last cold snap, the lion of the empire finally set foot on the land he longed for, the king's left-wing army broke through the royal city of Balbo, the heads of the rebels were nailed high above the city gate, and since the last day of the old year The war that started in the sun finally came to an end in the north.
The roses are blooming in the embers.
The king stretched out his hand to take a brand-new king's flag from the knight's hand and held it high: "Legrand is glorious forever!"
This is Legrand.
A Legrand unmatched anywhere in the world.
In this land where the dragon is buried, a family marked by roses has been king for generations.
The long wind was fierce, and the flag tail fluttered fiercely.
"Legrand's glory is eternal!"
The knights raised their swords high and shouted loudly.
