After Mozo touched his nose, he thought to himself, fortunately Heather's last name is not Baratheon or Targaryen. Otherwise, I really can't stand these two names...
I guess George Martin never thought that his "A Song of Ice and Fire" would almost be reproduced in another world.
-
Crown Prince Joffrey was standing on his airship with a smug look on his face, looking down at the camp below. Behind him, apart from the Knight Commander, there were the nobles who had been ordered to come and support him.
At this moment, they all surrounded the future emperor, constantly talking about all kinds of meaningless topics such as his wisdom and bravery.
The Crown Prince, who was leading an army for the first time, was quite pleased with this, but he also remembered the superficial work. He stood in front with his hands behind his back and listened to the praise for a long time before he reluctantly suppressed the corners of his mouth and said to the nobles behind him:
"My Lords, let's wait until we have captured the traitors of the Douglas family before we discuss this."
In response to the Crown Prince's words, an aristocrat immediately said flatteringly:
"You are really joking. The end of the Douglas family was doomed the moment you left the imperial capital. All we have done is to sing praises for your victory in advance!"
This statement won the support of a large number of nobles.
This also made the corners of Crown Prince Joffrey's mouth, which had been suppressed with great difficulty, rise up again.
In the imperial capital, he still needed to carefully take care of his "appearance", but now with the affirmation of his father and the "certain death" of his poor brother, he thought that his future was clear and began to be less nervous.
Fortunately, he still remembered the important things. After listening to the praises from the ministers, he coughed and said to the nobles:
"We should guard against arrogance and rashness, and discuss the details of the operation first."
As soon as the words fell, everyone present suddenly felt a huge sense of crisis.
Then he saw the Knight Commander instantly standing in front of the Crown Prince, shouting angrily and drawing his sword to chop down.
The next moment, a huge arrow actually penetrated the front of the deck and hit the sharp blade of the Knight Commander.
After a brief touch, astonishing energy exploded wildly in all directions.
In just a moment, the airship where the Crown Prince was located exploded on the spot!
Taking this as a signal, countless shouts and rumbling sounds began to appear around the camp.
After the airship in the sky crashed down with endless sparks, the Knight Commander, who was floating in the air holding the intact Crown Prince, looked at the direction where the arrow came from and said in shock and anger:
"Gawain the Lion!?"
145 Break Heather's Back! (5k)
Gawain, who was standing on a distant hillside and shot down the Crown Prince's carriage with an arrow, shook his head with some regret.
It is indeed impossible to kill Crown Prince Heather so easily.
Although Gawain's arrow failed to kill Crown Prince Joffrey, it successfully caused many of Hatter's soldiers to panic.
Because everyone knew that the only thing still parading above the camp was the Crown Prince's carriage!
The rest of the airships were either parked at the temporary dock or patrolling around the camp!
And now the Crown Prince’s car was destroyed
Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince already dead? !
Crown Prince Joffrey, who was safely protected by the Knight Commander, was lost in thought as he watched the rapidly falling wreckage of the airship. Gawain's sudden attack could be said to have taught this crown prince, who had never seen war, a hard lesson.
War and death are not something you can avoid just because of your noble status.
If he is not careful, he will die unclearly like those nobles who were just fawning on him!
As the wreckage of the airship landed with a loud bang, causing a huge fireworks display and roar, Crown Prince Joffrey suddenly came back to his senses:
"They're all dead?!"
While the Knight Commander was on guard against Gawain's next attack, he glanced at the soldiers below who were trying to save the wreckage and said:
"There is no time to worry about this now, Your Highness. I will prepare a sound amplification spell for you. You must immediately prove to the soldiers that you are still alive and order them to resist resolutely!"
After saying that, the Knight Commander crushed a rune, and a giant conch appeared in front of him. This also successfully attracted the attention of a large number of soldiers.
At this moment, some soldiers and extraordinary people who were close and had sharp eyes had seen the two people in the sky.
They shouted to the people around them in surprise:
"Your Highness is still alive!"
But this was not enough, because more soldiers only knew that the Crown Prince's car had crashed and they were being attacked by Douglas' soldiers.
While they were struggling to resist the attacks of the Douglas soldiers, they were also constantly nervous about the situation behind them.
When soldiers fight, they must know who they are fighting for. If the crown prince, who is leading the army, is dead, they don't need to fight desperately against the enemy's attacks, they can just run away or surrender.
Mozo walked to Gawain's side, looked at the loudspeaker conch that was so conspicuous in the sky, and said to Gawain:
"Gao Wenqing, shoot down that conch before the other party opens his mouth!"
They want to spread the news that the crown prince is still alive throughout the enemy camp. Haha, how can we let you do as you wish!
Looking at the camp with flames everywhere, Joffrey was suddenly awakened and was about to speak to the conch, but before he could open his mouth another arrow suddenly shot at him, which frightened him so much that his whole body shuddered. Fortunately, the Knight Commander successfully blocked the opponent's attack again.
However, what both of them did not expect was that Gawain's attack this time consisted of two consecutive arrows.
The first arrow was shot at the Crown Prince to distract the Knight Commander's attention, and the second arrow followed closely and blew up the amplifying conch in front of them.
Looking at the loudspeaker conch in front of him that was shot apart by the opponent's arrow, the anger on the Knight Commander's face became more and more obvious.
But it was quickly suppressed:
"Your Highness, I will escort you around the camp right now. The soldiers must see with their own eyes that you are still alive!"
The Crown Prince instinctively wanted to nod, but then he looked at the wreckage of the airship that exploded again and said:
"No, no, the other party is obviously coming for me. If I run around now, won't that just allow the other party to continue to assassinate me?"
This made the Knight Commander more anxious and said:
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I am right beside you. You will be absolutely fine. But if the soldiers don't know that you are fine, our camp will be in danger!"
The arrows fired by the enemy just now have killed a large number of nobles on their side. Even if the soldiers knew that the crown prince was still alive, the private soldiers of the nobles would fall into chaos because they had no monarch.
And now the Crown Prince was unwilling to follow him on tour to let the soldiers know that he was still alive!
Wouldn't this deprive the soldiers of the last bit of courage and necessity to fight
"No, are you going to team up with outsiders to murder me?"
This made the Knight Commander even more anxious:
"But Your Highness, look down there! Although the enemy's attack has disrupted our formation, our base is still there. As long as you stand up, the soldiers and generals can calm down and restore order! But if you don't stand up, it will be over!"
It would have been better if he hadn't said this. After he said it, the Crown Prince looked in the direction of his finger and was no longer panicked.
Because the series of attacks just now really scared him, but now it seems that the camp is still stable, except that the surrounding area is caught in chaos and fire.
Instead, he felt relieved. He shouted sternly:
"Isn't this good? The opponent's attack is totally ineffective!"
The Knight Commander became increasingly anxious:
"Your Highness, this is just the beginning. If you don't show up, morale will be ruined!"
Gawain from the North has appeared, so why do you think the enemy's attack will be ineffective
"You said this is just the beginning. Why do you think our soldiers can't resist the enemy's attack? The situation is so unclear now. As the commander of the army and the crown prince, how can I take risks?"
As he spoke, Crown Prince Joffrey's eyes became brighter and brighter as he affirmed:
"Ah, I see. The other party must be betting that I will move around and inspire the army, so that they can continue to assassinate me and successfully put the soldiers in a predicament of being leaderless!"
This series of speeches made the Knight Commander more and more angry and helpless.
Once you see signs of morale being ruined, there's no need to save it, just run away!
But he really didn't dare to disobey the Crown Prince, because what he said really made sense. There was no high-sequence Douglas family who suddenly had a northern lion named Gawain. And this attack also made him wonder how the other party bypassed their army's scattered scouts.
In this case, he was really not sure what would happen next, so he did not dare to take Crown Prince Joffrey with him to encourage the soldiers to fight.
Because if something unexpected happened, he might be able to run away, but Joffrey would be really dead and he couldn't afford such a price.
There are two different concepts: the crown prince deciding on his own to risk his life in an assassination and being abducted by the emperor and dying in an assassination.
The Emperor of the Angel Family was willing to kill someone, so why was he, a Sequence Three, trying so hard
Anyway, if he and Joffrey were alive, his status wouldn't be a big problem. At most, he wouldn't be able to become the leader of the Royal Knights. But Heather couldn't give up a Sequence 3.
He could not accept any other situation, such as him dying and Joffrey living, or him living and Joffrey dying.
So after a brief consideration, the Knight Commander, who had been extremely anxious before, suddenly calmed down. He looked at the surrounding camp that was gradually becoming chaotic and sighed and said:
"Then please at least immediately order the Royal Knights to go everywhere to announce your safety and supervise the battle."
This statement was obviously acceptable to Joffrey, and he immediately nodded in agreement:
"OK!"
At this point, Joffrey's only chance of winning tonight was thrown away by him without him even noticing.
Mozo, who was standing on the hillside using the Eagle Eye Rune to watch the other side retreat, couldn't help but say to little Lord Douglas with a smile:
"Is this what you call a capable future wise king?!"
Young Lord Douglas did not say anything, but just looked at the camp opposite with an extremely complicated expression.
Is this the emperor and crown prince that their family had always been loyal to
Mozo also shook his head and dissipated the Eagle Vision Technique, then looked at the camp and said to Verdani beside him:
"We can notify Count Hahn to attack the enemy's temporary dock. Their airships should be taking off urgently at this time."
"Also, notify the Hols demigods that they can launch an all-out attack. Use everything we can. Gao Wenqing, you should also go over. The enemy has put their neck on our blades. There is no reason to let them go."
Gawain and Verdani nodded and left quickly. They wanted to take advantage of the enemy's unstable morale to completely defeat the enemy's camp.
As the finale, the old duke naturally stood beside Mozo, and the Douglas army was able to easily come over this time because of the old duke's ability. Looking at the fire of Heather's camp below, which was gradually expanding inward.
The old duke couldn't help but say:
"If the other side didn't hide an angel, they would have definitely lost tonight. How could it be so easy? "
Although they were caught off guard, the enemy also had the advantages of both terrain and military strength.
Mozo nodded in agreement:
"Yes, I heard from Lord Douglas that Joffrey has the reputation of being a future wise king. I was worried that he would take the royal knights on a tour to boost the morale of Heather's soldiers. In this way, it would be really difficult for them to fight with their superiority in terms of military strength and terrain."
"It's different now. That stupid Crown Prince actually ran away. Their soldiers' morale will soon collapse, right?"
"Yeah, it's going to be quick."
As the crown prince, his presence at the front line would naturally boost morale, and this was also what Mozo was most unsure about tonight. Because this guy's name was really intimidating - the future wise king. Once such a person came to the front line to supervise the battle, Mozo felt that even if the old duke took action, he might not be able to quickly resolve the morale-boosted Heather army. After all, the crown prince had come, and the other party might have brought a top-level seal that could restrain the angels.
It is even possible that the other party has another angel hidden. Heather's angels are not like Loran, where only one old duke is left. This is an important limitation for Loran to not expand, because the rest of the angels were either flattened by Cromwell or fled with their families in fear.
Similarly, once Joffrey 'dies', the opponent's morale will collapse completely.
Moreover, Emperor Heather's practice of abandoning the donkey after it has served its purpose, when the demigod Loran appears, the other demigod should also be cautious about this and dare not fight with all his strength, right
Just as Mozo and the others expected, as Joffrey retreated from the battlefield, the soldiers who were still trying to resist the attack from the Douglas family began to waver as time went by.
The sharp blade that was originally able to be swung smoothly suddenly became heavy, and the footsteps that were originally moving forward inexplicably moved back. The musket in the hand that had been facing the enemy also unconsciously shifted a little bit towards the supervisory team...
Without His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what reason do they have to persevere
And such doubts completely broke out after the earth shook.
Because a soldier pointed in the direction of the temporary dock and shouted in fear:
"Glowing green branches? Oh my god, what a big tree? Oh no, it's a demigod. They have demigods too!"
The demigod Moore, who was stationed at the temporary dock, looked at the huge branches that suddenly burst out from the ground and began to frantically destroy his own airship. His instinct was to step forward quickly and prepare for battle.
However, after taking only a few steps forward, his steps suddenly hesitated.
He recognized what it was; it was the mythical form of the Lord of the Three Druids of the Natural Path Sequence—the Tree of Life.
The opponent was a natural path sequence three, and he was a shadow emissary of the shadow path sequence four. The two were not adjacent paths and had no restraint relationship. In addition, with the seal in his arms, they could definitely win. He just wanted him to risk his life.
After all, it is Sequence Four challenging Sequence Three.
But do you really want to risk your life
