In the direction of the imperial palace, there was suddenly a fire blazing into the sky, billowing smoke covered the sky, and the flags were all over the sky, but this flag was no longer the traditional imperial eagle flag, but the original eagle flag was painted with a dazzling bright red !
Just look under the imperial city, the red flag flutters like a sea of blood!
Outside the imperial city, the Central Army was already covered in darkness, at least three or four thousand people, but there were astonishing trumpets and drums from all over the city, and there was a scream of death from all sides.
The generals and soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army above the imperial city all had pale faces, with expressions of surprise, shock, and shock. Some officers and generals had complex expressions, looking at the Central Army who besieged the imperial city below. I don't know what's on my mind.
Most of the Central Army that surrounded the imperial city was under the banner of the Second Corps—the current general of the Empire’s Second Corps was Sosia, a hardcore general from Rodriguez, who was also a direct descendant of Adric’s direct line. , the confidant among the confidants, who has worked under Adric's command for nine years, and can be said to be the kind of person who is most loyal to Adric. And this person's ability is also outstanding among the original Rodriguez cavalry. Among the Rodriguez cavalry, he served as the flag officer of the heavy armored cavalry of the ace flag regiment of the Rodriguez cavalry. Originally, when Adric left office, he had hoped that Sosia would be his successor, but in order to balance the upper echelons of the empire at that time, he, a general from the direct line of Rodriguez, was transferred to the second place in the Imperial Central Army. The Corps serves as a general, although it has been promoted by one level, it is also a general, but the general of the Second Corps, where is the general of the Roderian cavalry more prestige
Probably out of these considerations, Adrick handed over the important task of sieging the imperial city to the second corps commanded by Sosia, the most trusted and most capable one.
At this moment, the Central Army of the Second Corps has two flag regiments under the imperial city with as many as 4,000 people, all of which are the most trusted confidants and direct descendants of Sosia who have carefully cultivated. The 4,000-strong Central Army of the Second Corps, which was fully armed, blocked the water surrounding the Imperial City Square. Although the soldiers’ gate had not really attacked the city defense, it was already screaming. On the road behind, several siege vehicles It has been slowly pushed up! What made the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army in the imperial city even more terrified was the queue of archers behind the central army column!
Once experienced a war when the rebels entered the city, these Imperial Forest Army knew the combat effectiveness of the Central Army better than anyone! What's more, almost every one of the Central Army who survived these bloody battles is an elite! They used to fight the rebels outside the city! He once fought desperately against the rebels in the city defense. With his weak strength, he resisted the siege of the city by more than 100,000 rebels for several months! And after the city was broken, he was still stubborn and unyielding and fought bloody battles...
But now, these most trusted elites who were once guarding the empire are now standing on the opposite side of the city. The city is full of darkness, swords are like forests, and the soldiers are shouting angrily, venting their dissatisfaction and anger with roars. !
"We want to see His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Let Your Majesty come out to see us!!"
"Please, Your Majesty, agree to our request!!"
"The chaotic ministers will not be eliminated, the thieves will not be destroyed, and the empire will not exist!!"
"Please make General Adric the Imperial Marshal!!"
The angry roars rose from waves to waves, and the sound was like a wave. The Royal Forest Army on the imperial city, I don’t know how many people have numb hands and feet, but under the strict order of the Shangguan behind them, they still barely hold their weapons and stand on the post. retreat.
Finally, the army under the city suddenly sounded a thick and desolate horn! Immediately, the sound that seemed to never stop suddenly became silent!
In the dark crowd, a passage was quickly separated like a tide. After the formation, a majestic black horse came slowly. The man on the horse was dressed in golden armor, and the bright red cloak behind him was blowing in the wind. There was a sound of hunting, and the majestic body seemed to never fall. Holding a dyed fiery red imperial eagle flag in his hand, he slowly rode through the passage in the army.
Wherever he went, the soldiers bowed to move away one after another, and made the most respectful and respectful gesture, and when the knight drove his horse to the forefront of the team, he suddenly raised the bright red eagle flag in his hand. Raised high!
Suddenly, a tsunami-like cry resounded from all directions like thunder!
"General Adrick!!!"
"The general is mighty!!"
"Long live General Adrick!!"
"General Adrick!!!"
In the midst of this shouting, Adric slowly took off the lion helmet on his head, then suddenly raised his left hand and swayed in the air!
Immediately, like magic, the frenzied sound came to an abrupt end with a single wave of his hand! !
This control and prestige suddenly changed the color of the officers of the garrison army on the city defense!
Adrick's face was grim, but there was a dark red tide on his face, and even the famous scar on his face seemed to be scarlet.
Finally, he slowly rode forward, almost within the range of the archers on the imperial city, but he seemed not to be afraid, and almost rode the horse directly under the city gate, and finally put the gun in his hand. The red flag slammed into the ground!
With a snatch, the flagpole stood under the city wall with such a powerful force that it directly pierced the solid square bricks on the ground of the square, almost two feet into the ground!
The bright red flag fluttered in the wind, Adrick stood beside it, looked up at the imperial city, took a deep breath, and then, the majestic voice spread throughout the square and the imperial city!
"The empire is embarrassed, and the traitor is wrong for the country! My soldiers of the Central Army fought bloody battles, and it is not a pity to die! However, Your Majesty is very trustworthy, and allows the chaotic ministers and thieves to mislead the country and ruin the foundation of the empire! Although our soldiers are not talented, I would like to show a warm blood, please Your Majesty Take back the chaos, clear the traitors, and set things right!! If Your Majesty goes his own way, then the tens of thousands of soldiers in the Central Army and the City Defense Army will be cold-hearted, and the country will not be a country!! Please pass this word to Your Majesty, please come out and see these people. Warm-blooded soldiers!! I'm waiting for my heart to learn from the sun!!"
boom! !
Following Adric's declaration, all the soldiers in the city shouted and cheered, and the sound of swords beating on shields was sonorous!
Above the city defense, a general of the Imperial Forest Army wearing a mountain armor, with a pale face, looked down at the city, took a deep breath, and whispered: "Don't hurry up and ask your Majesty! This scene... This scene, we can't control it. It's gone!"
…
The central army surrounded the imperial city, the city guards blocked the city defense, and there was already chaos in the palace!
This ancient and huge empire seems to have really come to the end. In the palace, the servants are running around, and some take off their clothes while taking advantage of the chaos, and when they find a space they quietly disappear into the crowd. Some took the opportunity to run into the various palace chambers, put their belongings in their own arms, and left in the chaos.
The Royal Forest Army lined up nervously, rushing to the square in the direction of the Imperial City, but everyone's faces were full of nervousness and panic.
As for the main hall... the former core of the empire's power, outside the main hall, even the attendants have run away, and only two or three guards of the Royal Forest Army are still standing there reluctantly and dare not leave.
Inside the hall, it was even more of a desperate frenzy.
The old chancellor Sarum Bonelli sat there, eyebrows furrowed and age spots all over his pale complexion.
Garcia's face was even more transparent, and his face was ferocious and terrifying, but he didn't know how much of it was anger, and how much was fear.
The young emperor's eyes had almost lost the last trace of sanity. He angrily smashed the utensils on the table one by one, and his desperate roars and roars seemed a bit harsh because he was too excited.
"Adric! Asshole! Treason!!! How dare he do this!! This is treason! I'm going to kill him! I'm going to hang him! I'm going to burn him!
The emperor roared for a while, then suddenly fell to the ground with a thud, panting heavily, his chest couldn't stop bullying, the originally pale complexion was still as fierce as before, with a morbid flush.
After a while, tears suddenly flowed from his eyes, and he hugged his head and cried: "Oh my God! God! Could it be that my Byzantine Empire is really dead like this!! My Kerenma family established a country, but finally Are you going to perish in my hands!!!”
The old prime minister remained silent, even, watching the emperor sitting there crying without dignity, there was not even a trace of pity in the eyes of the old man, there was only a deep indifference.
"I... I... I want to kill him, kill this traitor." Garcia held back her tears, her voice trembling morbidly: "Even if the country is really destroyed, I will kill this guy first! I want to watch him die before me!! Kill him! Kill him!!"
Speaking, he suddenly did not know where the strength came from, and suddenly jumped up from the ground, turned around, rushed to the corner, and grabbed the silent middle-aged man who had been standing in the corner.
"Sir! Go and kill Adric! I order you, go and kill that traitor!!!"
The middle-aged man raised his eyelids slightly and looked at the emperor calmly.
Garcia's neck and forehead, with blue veins bursting out, grabbed the middle-aged man's shirt forcefully: "Go and kill him! I want to see him die before me! Even if he really dies, I want to see him first. Die!!"
The middle-aged man finally let out a low sigh: "Your Majesty, is this your last order?"
"Yes! Go kill him! Kill him! Kill him now!!!"
"Your Majesty, I can protect you from leaving the palace and Osgilia. With my escort, I can guarantee your safe departure." The middle-aged man frowned.
Garcia's face was miserable: "Leave... Leave... Where else can I go? Where else can I go!!!!"
He screamed: "Duke Minas betrayed me! He has taken control of the Southern Army!! This old bastard, he took advantage of my trust!! Adric and the Central Army also turned against me! The world is big, Where else can I go?! Where else can I go?!"
He shook his head desperately: "No! No! I will never leave the palace! Even if I die, I will die here! I am a member of the Karenma family! The Karenma family created this empire, even if the empire dies , I'm going to die here too, on my throne!!"
After speaking, he actually cried again: "Go and kill Adric! This is my last order! Sir!!"
The middle-aged man finally nodded. He looked into the emperor's eyes for a long time before letting out a sigh of relief.
"Then, do as you wish, Your Majesty."
Saying that, he suddenly dodged and left Garcia's body. In the next instant, his figure had appeared at the door of the main hall. He turned around and bowed.
"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself first. I'll kill the chaos head now, presumably if there is no chaos head, those chaos soldiers will not be able to do chaos!"
Saying that, the middle-aged man came out proudly, and his figure floated out of the door of the main hall.
※※※
On the high steps of His Highness, the figure of the middle-aged man just passed by like a gust of wind. He was extremely fast, and his figure quickly swept in the direction of the gate of the imperial city.
But just as he passed through the two halls, the surrounding air suddenly became cold, and the middle-aged man suddenly stopped, lowered his head and pondered, his face became extremely ugly!
With a bang, in his hand, a thin long sword has been transformed, pointing to the sky, coldly said: "Please come out!"
Not far from the side, in a forest in the deep garden of the palace, a majestic figure slowly turned out from behind the big tree.
A silver short hair, the roots are like steel needles, the complexion is cold and angular, and the pair of eyes are like beasts!
Ye Lin was standing under the tree, murderous aura burst out all over his body, and pushed the leaves off the big tree one after another. He stood among the fallen leaves and looked at the middle-aged man from a distance.
In Ye Lin's hand, there was a knife, a thin short knife, the blade seemed to be as transparent as ice.
The middle-aged man's face was very ugly. He stared at Ye Lin and said slowly, "You are..."
"You don't recognize me." Ye Lin said lightly, "None of the powerhouses in this world know me. I'm just a small ascetic."
The middle-aged man nodded slightly, and withdrew his scrutiny eyes: "An ascetic practitioner, actually trained to the level of a strong man, it seems that I have really avoided the world for too long, and there are new strong men in the world, I actually But they didn't recognize any of them."
Ye Lin carried the knife, Ye Lin took a step, and Ye Lin walked slowly.
The fallen leaves all over the sky fell on his body, but none of the fallen leaves could really fall on his shoulders, but if they got close to his body, those leaves would shatter...
"Are you, the helper that Adrick found?" The middle-aged man said coldly: "It's also... They know that I exist in the palace. If they didn't have the means to deal with me, how dare they start a rebellion like this. Hmph... "
Ye Lin was still silent, walking slowly, until there were less than ten steps left between the two, and he slowly stopped.
"You are not my opponent, an unfamiliar strong man." The middle-aged man said coldly: "Even among the strong, there are strong and weak points. Since you have entered this situation, you should understand this truth."
"I understand." Ye Lin looked at the middle-aged man in front of him.
"It's not easy for you to cultivate. There have been new strong men in the empire for decades." The middle-aged man said lightly: "You are not too old. If you have another few decades, your achievements will be much higher than today."
"I know." Ye Lin looked down at his blade.
"If you are determined to fight with me, then you must be the one who will die in the end." The middle-aged man frowned.
"I know." Ye Lin took a deep breath.
"Then..." The middle-aged man felt the more and more murderous aura on the other side, and couldn't help but be moved: "Then why are you so troubled?"
"I don't ask to win you because I know I can't beat you. I don't ask to kill you because I know I can't kill you. I don't ask for the future, just because I know that my heart is dead and there is no future. Say it." Ye Lin suddenly smiled, the smile on his face was still like his face, with sharp edges and corners, full of vigor: "Today, I came here, just to hold you back, although I know that I can't beat you, but I fight hard. I have cultivated in my life, and I can hold you for some time. I can still do it. There are indeed strong and weak between the strong, but even the weak and strong are still strong. Even if I will die in the end, but If I do my best, even if you want to kill me, how much time do you need to fight? One hour? Three hours? Or one day? Three days?"
"You?!" The middle-aged man frowned, and a murderous look finally burst out in his eyes: "If I kill you with all my heart, it will only take an hour!"
"Then kill." Ye Lin smiled without hesitation: "I just came here with a dead heart!"
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
"Afraid!" Ye Lin said lightly, "Who is not afraid of death in life. However, a friend once told me that in this world, some things can be avoided, and some things must be done! Mortality is nothing but... a death."
Ye Lin gently waved the short knife in his hand, and above the blade, there seemed to be a frost-like light, as if in an instant, countless snowflakes were shaken off...
"Oh, the friend who told me this, as you must know, his name is Spahn... A few months ago, he died in battle on the wall in front of him - to protect the master behind you. of!"
More and more snowflakes descended from the sky on the two of them, and Ye Lin was covered with snow-white light, and the cold air became more and more permeating.
What a... Snow!
…
The imperial capital, south of the city, is above a high tower. The bell tower has been abandoned in the previous war when the rebels entered the city. The original bell ringer also turned into a nameless corpse in the city chaos.
No one has gone up to this abandoned clock tower.
At this moment, the city was surrounded by drums and horns, killing everyone. The city guards on horseback rode horses back and forth in the city, and the streets were under martial law. The iron hoof is hurried, and the murderous aura is boiling!
And just above the clock tower, on the broken iron bell, sat a figure.
This man is tall, but looks very thin from the back. Holding a barrel of wine in his hand, he sits there, facing the cold wind, but pours the cold wine into his mouth one by one. tone.
His long brown hair was messy, and he was wearing a dirty and stained leather robe, which could barely be seen as a traditional Odin costume.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, he put down the wooden barrel in his hand, and looked towards the center of the city.
Immediately, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"The duel of the strong... It will always be the most wonderful picture in this world."
After speaking, he wiped the corner of his mouth and sighed: "What a snow! What a snow!"
