Looking at the Douglas soldiers who were constantly attacking from outside, Demigod Moore hesitated for a moment and then shouted to the soldiers and officers who were trying to attack the Tree of Life below:
"This is Luo Lan's demigod. He is well prepared and must have big plans. Give up the dock and come with me to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
After saying that, he was the first to leave here. The rest of the soldiers who were fighting hard because of the presence of demigods on their side also swarmed out of the temporary dock in an instant after seeing that their demigods had withdrawn.
It was still up to the other party to destroy that batch of military airships that were worth a fortune. They were part of the assets that Emperor Heather had accumulated over the years!
At the main gate of the camp on the other side, although everyone witnessed the crash of the Crown Prince's carriage and the collapse of the conch, they still tried their best to defend the gate, because the demigod Gale, who was in charge of the gate, used his excellent eyesight to assure the soldiers that the Crown Prince was safe.
As a result, they successfully repelled the Douglas family's crazy charges many times.
Both sides were in a fierce battle, with bloodshot eyes.
The demigod Gale transformed himself into a flying dragon again and used his status and dragon breath to crush the soldiers and vassals of the Douglas family in the air.
But when the huge Tree of Life suddenly rose from the ground, the demigod Gale, who was flying over the enemy, looked behind him in a daze.
"That's Sequence Three?!"
The next moment, a huge sense of crisis instantly filled his heart, and before the demigod Gale could react, he secretly cried out in alarm.
The fatal arrow shot by Gawain hit him right in the chest, causing him to flutter in the air for a few times before being pounced to the ground by the demigod Horus, who had transformed into a demon wolf.
The only thing the demigod Gale could do here was to let out a shrill wail after falling down.
Suffering from arrow wounds and the claws of the demon wolf, Demigod Gale became the second Demigod to die for his country after Demigod Hall in recent years.
Relying on the surprise attack and the double cooperation of 1314, Halls easily killed the powerful demigod of the same level as himself.
After killing the opponent, he cut off the opponent's dragon head and threw it into the opponent's camp.
"You've already lost! Run for your lives, Heather's soldiers!"
Under the double torture of the huge pressure from the appearance of the enemy demigod and the huge fear of their own demigod being killed on the spot, the soldiers at the main gate of the camp could no longer hold on and abandoned the battle and fled!
With the fall of the gate, a large number of Douglas soldiers rushed in madly without any hindrance.
At the same time, because of the retreat of Crown Prince Joffrey, the soldiers on the front line had no idea that their leader was still alive. They could only watch the Douglas army rushing in after a brief panic.
They shouted:
"The enemy is coming!"
"The demigod is coming! The demigod is coming! Run!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has died for his country. Run, there is no reason to fight anymore!"
"Gale the Demigod is dead! We lost!"
...
From the enemy's attack to the complete defeat of the army on the front line, it was almost a one-shot event.
By the time the royal knights behind him were ready to rush over to supervise the battle with the news that the crown prince was not dead, the situation had already gotten out of control.
The defeat was like a landslide. Unless a high-sequence figure took action, no one could stop it.
So even though the royal knights tried very hard to maintain the line and even kept chopping off the heads of the deserters, it was still of no avail.
Even when the real defeated soldiers on the front line fled over, they immediately became red-eyed when they saw the heads of their comrades at their feet.
A white light flashed, and an officer who escaped from the front line chopped off the head of a royal knight with one knife.
Soon, the defeated soldiers engaged in a battle with the royal knights.
Although the royal knights had the upper hand in terms of equipment and strength, they were still no match for the countless defeated soldiers.
Therefore, with the fall of the last royal knight, the second line that was originally struggling to maintain collapsed instantly.
In the rear, Crown Prince Joffrey looked at the fire in front of him with shock as it grew bigger and closer.
"This, this is a loss? How is it possible to lose?!"
After saying this, he collapsed to the ground.
He lost his first battle like this?!
The Knight Commander silently looked at the approaching fire, then sighed, helped Crown Prince Joffrey up, and said to him:
"Your Highness, we need to leave here as soon as possible."
Joffrey jumped up in shock when he heard this, and fiercely grabbed the Knight Commander's arm and said:
"Don't run away! I order you to take your knights and the remaining soldiers to the front line immediately! I order you to recapture the camp!"
Facing Joffrey's roar, the Knight Commander just said quietly:
"Who will be responsible for your safety after I leave?"
This can be regarded as the last attempt of the Knight Commander. If the Crown Prince really disregards his own safety, then as a Hesser, he can also fight with his life!
But this sentence made Joffrey stop talking. Hearing this, Joffrey took a few steps back in shock. The others watched it all in silence, neither running away nor leaving.
They were also waiting for the Crown Prince's final decision.
This might be Joffrey's last chance tonight.
It was a long time before Joffrey came back to his senses when he heard a cannon shot.
Listening to the extremely clear screams in his ears, Joffrey swallowed and walked back silently with his head down.
The others followed him in silence.
The backbone of the Heather royal family was broken in half today!
146 You are so vicious! Cromwell! (3k)
Because of Joffrey's cowardice and the emperor's premature killing of innocent people, the attack on the camp launched by the Douglas family and Roland was extremely successful.
Not only did he successfully destroy all the airships brought by the royal family, but Gawain also shot down all the nobles in the northern area of the Douglas family with one arrow, and even the demigod Gale died at the hands of Hols. The rest of the gains were countless.
The royal family's direct troops and a large number of royal knights also suffered heavy casualties. What even surprised Mozo was that after hearing about the death of his own family leader, almost one-third of the nobles in the northern surrounding areas of the Douglas family jumped into the Douglas family...
The consequences of Emperor Heather killing innocent people too early were really disastrous.
When the news of the Crown Prince's defeat was hurriedly delivered to Emperor Heather, he was completely stunned sitting on the throne.
He looked at the battle report in his hand again and again. Not satisfied with just reading it himself, he asked the ministers around him to come forward and watch as well. He really couldn't believe that the rebellion that he was sure to win would be lost so completely.
He even suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes. He couldn't understand why such a brave and invincible man could still encounter such a setback when the butcher of Loran died in his hands.
There must be something wrong with his eyes!
Otherwise, is it that the soldiers he sent were not elite enough? No, the royal family's direct troops were better equipped and trained than the nobles' private soldiers after years of training. Is it that he did not send enough high-sequence soldiers? No, they were three demigods!
Even the airship he dispatched was a first-class warship purchased from the Duze Dynasty at a huge cost! He was also looking forward to using this debut to judge the military industry of the Duze Dynasty.
But, how the hell could this be finished overnight
As the ministers fell silent after reading the war report, Emperor Heather looked left and right and suddenly laughed happily:
"I know, I know. This is a joke you and my Joffrey played on me, right? Hahaha, interesting, interesting. Quick, quickly submit the real battle report. I, I will definitely not blame you!"
After saying this, he looked at the ministers with expectation, but all the ministers looked at him in disbelief.
Is the emperor crazy
Emperor Heather, whose last glimmer of hope was completely shattered, finally faced the reality amid the concerns of his ministers.
The smile on his face gradually faded, and the murderous intent in his eyes became stronger.
"Summon Joffrey to the capital immediately. Summon the northern troops to prepare to march south, summon Duke Hossen to prepare to enter the palace, summon the eastern troops to prepare to break camp, summon the southern nobles to prepare to march north, and summon the Minister of Foreign Affairs to return to the palace."
The emperor kept reciting one character after another, and the ministers hurriedly lowered their heads in response. They all knew that the emperor was going to get serious.
But before the emperor could finish his decree, a colorful crack appeared in front of the throne in the hall.
At first the royal knights were startled for a moment, but when a giant skinny blue hand stretched out, people regained their composure.
That is the extraordinary spiritual being who never interferes with the main world - the Blue Hand Apostle.
The other party handed the emperor a blood-red envelope in the emperor's gloomy face.
The emperor nodded slightly and took the red envelope without any mark. After hesitating for a moment, he opened the red envelope without any mark, without waiting for the warning from the guardian angel.
The first words that came into his sight made him widen his eyes in fear:
Greetings, Protector of the Land of Heather, noble man from Wind Valley, Lord of the Elk Nation - His Majesty Iris II.
Cromwell, Lord of the North of Loran, sends his sincere greetings to you. I wonder if you have realized that you have once again stepped into my little plan. I need to express my deep gratitude for your great cooperation. By the way, I would like to make up for the one time I didn't thank you three hundred years ago.
If it weren't for your decisiveness and ruthlessness, I would never have achieved the remarkable success I have today. If possible, I hope you can continue to go south, so that I can continue to expand my small military achievements. Of course, you don't have to believe it.
If you refuse to send troops south again, then I hope you can generously recognize the independence and dignity of the Lord of Deerhorn Castle.
In this way, I can also promise that I will never do anything unnecessary until you do something out of line again. I swear in the name of the gods and kings in heaven!
In addition, I hope you can maintain a certain level of tacit understanding. After all, I am already a 'dead man' lying in the history books.
This is written with great humility by Cromwell, Duke of the North, a country noble from Lorain!
Butcher?! He, he is not dead? He, he fooled me, fooled the Prime Minister, fooled the Empire
No, this was what he wanted from the beginning?! No, he wanted me to keep his faked death a secret, what else was he planning? But he swore to the gods and kings that he would not do anything to Hathi again.
Could it be that his ultimate goal was never Heather? The Prime Minister and I just happened to run into his blade? ! But even so, he still took it into account in his plan? !
We have been his clowns and pawns from the beginning to the end? We are not even qualified to be his opponents?!
After realizing this, Emperor Heather Ilis II immediately clenched the bright red envelope and couldn't stop laughing miserably.
"Hahahaha, hahahaha! Clowns, all of them are clowns! Heroic lord? Hahahaha! Comparable to a dynasty? Hahaha! The greatest emperor of all time? Hehe hahaha!"
Ilis II laughed so hard that he left the throne. Then, under the increasingly puzzled and horrified gazes of his ministers, he knelt on the ground, and swallowed the secret letter sent by the Blue Hand Apostle while crying and laughing.
"Hehe, clown, I'm a clown! Hehe! Woohoo, I'm a clown! I'm actually a clown! Woohoo!"
Seeing the emperor suddenly go crazy after reading the letter, the nobles below finally couldn't help but shout in panic:
"Pastor! Bishop! Royal College of Physicians! Your Majesty, Your Majesty must have been bewitched! Your Majesty has been bewitched!"
As he spoke, someone hurried forward and tried to hold the emperor down, saying:
"Hurry, let His Majesty spit out that terrible cursed thing! Maybe it's still in time! Hurry!"
The royal knights behind him were also preparing to step forward, but the emperor, who had been crying and laughing just now, suddenly drew out the ceremonial sword beside the throne in a panic when he heard that they wanted him to spit out the letter.
In the court, Elis II fiercely pointed his sword at the ministers and said:
"Who dares? Let me see who dares!"
The ministers who were pointed at by the emperor with swords did not dare to step forward. After a brief hesitation, the royal knights stood in front of the emperor and drew their swords to face the ministers at the steps.
Even if the emperor was crazy, he was still their emperor. And the emperor's will could not be questioned!
The old minister at the foot of the stairs could only stand there helplessly with his hands spread out and shouted:
"My Lord! What is the matter with you?"
This one sentence caused the emperor, who was already extremely mentally unstable, to completely collapse.
Elis II gave a bitter smile and threw away the ceremonial sword in his hand. With an expression of great pain on his face, he hugged his head and slowly squatted on the ground.
"The dead came back to life, the living died, the living died again, the dead came back to life again."
"I can't tell the difference anymore, I can't see through it, I really can't see through it!"
From then on, the emperor kept holding his head and muttering all kinds of strange words that were difficult to understand while his ministers stared at him in amazement.
Finally, he laughed crazily:
"Stop, stop! Stop all the arrangements! Haha, haha, we can't win! You are all clowns! Haha! Let Joffrey get back to me! Haha! I don't blame him! I really don't blame him!"
As he was laughing, he seemed to remember something and said to the ministers with a smile:
"Ah, and remember to help me pick something. I congratulate little Douglas on his independence! He is his own monarch now! Hahahaha!"
"I have only been on the throne for three hundred years. Hahahaha, I still consider myself the most diligent and hardworking monarch in history, but I ended up giving away the most land! Hahahahaha, what a clown!"
Seeing the emperor like this, the ministers below were all shocked. The emperor has gone crazy!
However, more people suddenly felt relieved. The emperor's previous cruel treatment of the Douglas family made them extremely nervous, but now that the emperor has gone crazy, the situation may be better.
This is the current situation of the Empire...
Can Heather still be called an empire
