"Open the door!"
"Open the door!"
The roars of Renault and a group of people continued to sound, and there were only three hundred enemies in total. There are tens of thousands of troops in the city of Neil, what are you afraid of? All the way back, Renault and the others thought they had saved their lives, but now they—
"Pfft!" The sword slashed a knight diagonally from the shoulders, and the whole body was split into two pieces, and the large and small intestines flowed out.
"Death, all of them will die." The big man named the leader said with a wild laugh.
The people on the Renault side were being harvested quickly, and there were only a few people left in just a moment. Renault looked at the enemy and couldn't help but feel a hint of despair in his heart.
"Are you going to die?"
Renault has many ideals, and many goals have not been achieved. But now he is dying.
…
A group of nobles in the tower was surrounded by a pale middle-aged nobleman.
"His Royal Highness, are you alright?"
"Don't be afraid, Your Royal Highness, the enemy can't get in."
The face of the middle-aged aristocratic man surrounded by him gradually became better. This man is the controller of the entire southeastern province, and the younger brother of the current emperor of the empire 'Prince Yulin'.
Prince Yulin was born with no ambitions, but he and His Majesty Qiao An are brothers, and His Majesty Qiao An is also very fond of this younger brother. Prince Yulin also enjoyed such days very much.
He knew that the O'Brien Empire and the Roo Empire had not had a major war for more than ten years. So he was interested and said that he wanted to come to this border city to see, and he made the nobles of the entire Neil City turn around him.
But who would have thought that when he was still talking about the strength of the empire on the tower just now, an arrow was shot at him. Fortunately, the guard beside him blocked the arrow.
"Open the door!" A shrill, unwilling roar sounded from below.
The eyes of the soldiers around were a little red, and there were not many enemies. If the defenders in the city of Neil were killed, they could definitely kill the enemy easily. But Prince Yulin did not allow them to open the city gate.
"His Royal Highness, there are not many enemies below, let your subordinates lead people to kill the enemy." An officer pleaded.
"Fart." Prince Yulin pointed to his nose and scolded, "What do you know? Didn't you see hundreds of enemy soldiers in the distance?"
"But Your Highness, we have 30,000 soldiers in Neil City." The officer retorted.
Prince Yulin snorted coldly: "It's dark now, and the weeds are so high in the distance, who knows how many enemies are hidden outside. You don't even think about it, just relying on these hundreds of people who dare to kill, will there be nothing to rely on? For dozens of imperial soldiers , it's not worth the bloodshed of more people."
What Prince Yulin said was awe-inspiring.
"But Your Highness..." The officer didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This Prince of Yulin obviously didn't understand the military. With the strength of Neil City and the presence of 30,000 sergeants, the enemy would not easily break through even if there were 100,000 soldiers.
On the other hand, he was only trying to kill the enemy in the city, not chasing the enemy.
Prince Yulin touched his forehead, sweating coldly.
"Isn't it just a few dozen soldiers? If I die, I will die. I don't want to be threatened with my life." Prince Yulin thought to himself. He immediately ordered, "Remember, don't take the initiative to attack without authorization, otherwise, if something happens, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"His Royal Highness, the people below seem to be led by Renault." Someone suddenly said.
"Which Renault?" Prince Yulin frowned.
"The direct descendant of the Dunstan family, 'Reno'."
"Dunstan family?" Prince Yulin frowned, then smiled indifferently, "To die in battle for the empire is the honor of their family's children. What's more, the Dunstan family is a big family, and if a child dies, what is it? ?"
Prince Yulin didn't care at all.
"Open the city gate!" After the shrill voice sounded, there was no more screams outside the city.
…
Renault's body fell softly and fell under the corner of the city wall. There was an arrow on his shoulder, and there was a terrifying wound on his chest, and blood was gurgling out.
At this moment, Renault was in a coma.
"Captain?" Renault's armor revealed his identity.
The big man grabbed Renault directly, made a resistance to the shoulder, and then shouted to the people around him: "Withdraw." After saying that, a dozen people left with lightning speed.
From the beginning to the end, the soldiers of this city of Neil did not open the city gate and rushed out to meet the enemy, except for shooting arrows on it.
…
The Dunstan family's influence in the army was very large. The entire army of Reynolds was wiped out, and Prince Yulin was ridiculously strict not to leave the city to kill the enemy. The news soon reached the Dunstan family.
Shortly after Prince Yulin returned to his residence, his subordinates told him a surprising news.
"His Royal Highness, Lord Reynolds who died in battle, he is a very good brother with Master Linley. Both of them studied at Ernst School of Magic. The two of them are as close as brothers." The middle-aged man with a mustache The man said respectfully to Prince Yulin.
"What? Master Linley? The two are as close as brothers?" Prince Yulin stood up at once.
"Why didn't those bastards tell me on the tower?" Prince Yulin was anxious.
"Your Highness, there are not many people who know the relationship between Linley and Renault. Even in the imperial capital, only a few nobles know about it. How can nobles in remote places like Nier City know about it?"
Prince Yulin frowned immediately.
Offending the Dunstan family, he is not afraid. No matter how powerful the Dunstan family is, it depends on the emperor's face and actions. He is just a child. He told the Dunstan family that there is absolutely no problem with this matter.
However, offending Linley was different.
"Immediately get in touch with the Dunstan family, and... Neil City, the news is blocked for me, don't spread it to the imperial capital, let alone to Linley. When Renault died, he was said to have died fighting for the empire. "Prince Yulin also began to panic.
…
On September 15, 10009 in the Yulan calendar, this day was the big wedding of Wharton and Nina. Wharton was the younger brother of the famous Master Linley, and Nina was the princess of the empire.
The wedding of the two was very grand.
In the palace, the sound of beautiful music flowed through the entire hall like a gurgling stream, and the nobles were holding wine glasses one by one, laughing and talking with each other.
"Your Majesty Joan, I'm sorry." Linley said with a light smile while holding the wine glass.
Linley was really not used to dealing with those nobles, but after talking to a few people, Linley left the hall and went directly into the garden. Delia, who was behind, quickly followed.
"what's wrong, lei?" delia laughed.
"I'm not used to it." Linley said with a light smile.
"You don't seem to be in a good mood today." Delia saw that Linley's face was not very good-looking, Linley nodded, "I don't know what's going on, but suddenly I felt a little irritable and uncomfortable."
In the spiritual realm, one has cultivated to the level of lei, and is rarely irritable.
"Wharton's wedding today, be happy." Delia comforted.
Linley let out a long sigh and nodded slightly.
…
When Linley and Delia were in the garden, His Majesty Joan received a secret message, and his personal court attendant whispered beside him, "Your Majesty, Renault of the Dunstan family, died in battle."
"Reynolds died in battle? Which Reynolds?" His Majesty Joan glanced at the court attendant. If a person died in battle, should he tell the emperor? Is his emperor in a hurry
"It's Master Linley's classmate at the Ernst School of Magic, and he has a very good relationship with Master Linley." The court attendant whispered, "Your Majesty, this matter is also related to His Royal Highness Prince Yulin."
"Yulin?"
"According to the information, a group of people such as Renault were killed by the soldiers of the Roo Empire. However, His Royal Highness Prince Yulin strictly ordered not to open the city gate and to stand firm."
"Stay strong? How many enemies are there?" His Majesty Joan frowned.
"Three hundred people." The court attendant replied.
His Majesty Qiao An immediately stared: "Three hundred people will stick to it? This Yulin is really..." His Majesty Qiao An was anxious for a while, but in a blink of an eye, he understood the matter.
His brother, he knew.
Yulin has no ambitions. Just a little greedy for life. His Majesty Joan doesn't think this is a shortcoming. Anyway, he doesn't need to lead troops to fight, and he doesn't need to do anything else.
But now, this matter is troublesome, if lei finds out. Once lei starts to make a fuss...
Thinking of Linley's terrifying strength in Tujiao Mountain, and the strength of the two monsters, His Majesty Joan knew in his heart that unless the masters of Wushenmen were dispatched, Linley would not be able to suppress him at all.
And Wushenmen, will it be dispatched for a prince
That is impossible.
"Yulin, make trouble for me." His Majesty Qiao An thought about this matter very quickly. Although he was angry, he still wanted to keep his younger brother.
"Your Majesty, according to Prince Yulin's statement, Renault and the others were killed in the city, and it was too late for them to save them. Moreover, it was late at that time, and they couldn't see how many people there were." The court attendant whispered.
His Majesty Joan nodded slightly, and he carefully sorted out the process.
Can't hide this!
His Majesty Joan's first reaction was this. When dealing with a powerhouse like Linley, who stood at the pinnacle of the sanctuary, don't deceive him. Otherwise, it would be even worse if he was discovered.
His Majesty Joan immediately turned around and left the hall, looking for Linley in the garden.
"Your Majesty Joan?" Linley, who was walking with Delia, shouted in confusion when he saw His Majesty Joan with an ugly face coming over.
His Majesty Joan looked at Linley, but his face became even more ugly.
"Your Majesty Joan, what happened?" Linley said with a frown.
His Majesty Joan sighed, "Lin Lei, let me tell you about this, you must be calm."
"What the hell is going on?" Linley was anxious. For the past few days, Linley had been feeling a little restless, but now hearing His Majesty Joan say that, he was a little worried.
As if something bad happened.
His Majesty Joan sighed in a low voice: "The news came from the Golden Flame Legion in the southeastern province just now that a cavalry brigade led by Reynolds encountered the enemy on the outskirts of Neil City, and was killed by the enemy and fled all the way..."
Linley's heart sank all of a sudden.
"When Renault and a few others fled to the city of Neil, the soldiers of Neil City were unable to rescue them. Renault and others, all died in battle!"
"All dead!" "All dead!" "All dead!"…
These four words were like thunder and lightning, constantly echoing in Lin Lei's mind. Lin Lei felt that he was blinded for a while, and his brain lost the slightest ability. Blank!
After a long time...
"The fourth, the fourth, is he dead?" Linley was stunned.
…
"Hello, I'm Renault from the O'Brien Empire." Linley still clearly remembered that when he first went to the Ernst School of Magic to sign up, the first person he saw was Renault. At that time, Linley went with Uncle Hillman, while Renault went with his grandpa Lum.
This is how two eight or nine-year-old children met.
For the next eight years, they have been together, day and night. Reno's shyness, Reno's laughter, Reno's sincerity... His laughter, scene after scene came to Lin Lei's mind.
"Fourth, is he dead?"
Linley couldn't believe it. Just a few days ago, the fourth child, who was talking to himself and Yale's boss, died in such a battle.
The voice and appearance are so clear.
How could the fourth child die
"Master Linley, please sympathize with you." His Majesty Qiao An felt a little nervous when he saw Linley's expression. What he was most worried about was that Linley went mad.
Linley turned his head to look at His Majesty Qiao An, his eyes looked straight at His Majesty Qiao An like a sharp knife, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty Qiao An, tell me, what's going on? I don't want you to deceive me, you are wise , you should know the consequences of deceiving me! Tell me, what's going on?"
