My game, my turf, my rules!
Just like when Chu Xiaoye was on the grassland, he did whatever he wanted in his own territory.
Here, Carter is king.
The moment he was forcibly taken to the opponent's tent by Carter's guards, he truly experienced the taste of power.
“It smells so good!”
When he ate the fruit that Princess Carter came to with her red lips, he praised it heartily.
"This general said that I will reward you!"
The girl general said this as he was being tortured severely.
The bloody storm during the day was replaced by the turbulent waves at night.
Chu Xiaoye expressed that she was very hurt.
One day later, a carrier pigeon brought news from the capital.
After learning what happened at the border, Custer's country was shocked!
After learning that the two sons of the Losni family died tragically at the border, the entire Losni family was filled with grief and anger, and was ready to take action.
After learning that Gek had treason, the king expressed disbelief and tried his best to appease the current Prime Minister Glenn and the princess, who were in power in the Losney family. At the same time, he ordered Princess Carter to return to the country immediately and bring back all the bodies of the insider and the two young masters. capital.
The king himself will judge.
This was public news, and it spread throughout Custer almost immediately.
But secretly, the Losney family has been urgently contacting all ministers and princes loyal to their family, and King Robert has also secretly issued many orders, and is already working to weaken the control of the Losney family in the capital.
The storm is about to come and the wind is filling the building.
In the peaceful Custer Kingdom, an undercurrent is surging!
Without waiting for the messenger sent by the king to arrive, Princess Carter left the border with an army of 20,000 people and marched straight up to the capital.
At this time, the loyalty of the 20,000 troops to her has yet to be tested.
But three days later, the opportunity for this test came quietly.
When Carter led the army to Sunset Pass, he was suddenly blocked there.
The heavy stone gate was closed tightly, and the soldiers on the city wall took out their bows, arrows and spears, and were waiting sternly.
Mocatun, the leader of Sunset Pass, stood on the city wall in military uniform, squinting his eyes and looking at the 20,000 troops in the field below. No matter how the soldiers sent by Princess Carter called the door, there was no response.
There is no doubt that Mokaton is a partisan of the Losni family.
Because his daughter Leti married a young man from the Losni family, and that young man is now leading the army in the capital and guarding the city gate.
Carter's soldiers rode back and reported to the princess what was happening on the walls.
Carter's face was as cold as frost, and there was a cold light in his eyes.
Before launching her army to attack, she looked at the elf boy riding a horse beside her.
Chu Xiaoye looked at the soldiers who were waiting solemnly on the city wall, then looked at the thick and tall city wall, and asked: "How many people are guarding this Sunset Pass?"
Carter seemed to know all about these things and blurted out: "Two thousand in total, all of them are orc veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles."
Chu Xiaoye looked at the old city under the setting sun and said: "There are only two thousand people, but one man is at the gate, and no one can open it. The city wall is tall and strong, and there are sufficient food and weapons inside. Even if there are only two thousand people, if we If you want to break through the city gate, you will suffer heavy damage. Princess, by then, the 20,000 of us will have suffered a lot of damage, and the gain will not be worth the loss."
Carter frowned and said, "Then what do you mean..."
"Wait."
Chu Xiaoye looked at the gray-haired veteran on the city wall and said: "Of the two thousand veterans, there are always a few who don't want to be charged with treason. No matter how famous Mokaton is, it was given to him by your Custer Empire. Once He is going to commit treason, and the people in the city will definitely be unstable, so it won’t be too late to attack again when the time comes.”
Carter nodded and said with a cold look: "I have already brought the siege ladder and the door-breaking vehicle. When the time comes, I must let them see the power of my Carter army!"
Chu Xiaoye shrugged and said: "Now is not the time to talk big. Princess, now, you must go to the city gate and let the soldiers on the city see you, and you must tell them that you are a princess. , you are ordered to lead the army back to the capital this time. You have the king's command, and anyone who blocks it is treason. Moreover, you have to place the corpse of the traitor Gek in front of them, so that they can see with their own eyes the fate of the traitor. .”
Carter looked at him and suddenly smiled, then stretched out his hand, pinched his fair face in full view of everyone, and whispered: "Brother Ye, you always surprise and reassure me like this. Of course, there are Satisfied, just like last night.”
The corners of Chu Xiaoye's mouth twitched and she looked ahead seriously.
"Hamo, take out Gek's body!"
"Yes! Princess!"
So, Princess Carter took Gek's body and walked in front. Surrounded by the army, she slowly approached the city of Sunset Pass.
Mokaton, who was standing on the city wall, raised his hand and said coldly: "Get ready!"
The soldiers obeyed the order, loaded their arrows and drew their bows, preparing for battle.
"Lord Mokaton!"
When Princess Carter came closer, she suddenly raised her head and shouted: "I am Princess Carter, you should know me. When I was ordered to leave the border and take over the post of border army general, I passed here. !”
As Princess Carter spoke, she took Chu Xiaoye and others out of the crowd and walked to the bottom of the city wall.
General Mokaton lowered his head and looked at her with squinted eyes. After a while, Fang said: "Princess Carter, you are the border general. Now you should be leading the army to guard the border, instead of appearing here."
Princess Carter said: "Lord Mokaton, I have been ordered to return to the capital. Please open the city gate and let me pass."
Mokaton raised his gaze, looked at the 20,000 troops, and said: "Sorry, princess, I did not receive an order. You can return to the capital at any time, but you cannot bring the border army with you. Without an order, I We can’t let them pass.”
Seeing that the old man refused to give in, Carter could only say coldly: "I have received a secret order from my father! My father ordered me to lead the army back to the capital immediately! Lord Mokaton, you must disobey the king to whom you are loyal. An order?"
Mocatun looked at her and said: "Princess, please take out your Majesty's secret order. If it is really your Majesty's order, I will open the city gate and let you go."
Carter said coldly: "Since it is a secret order, naturally I can't show it to you! Lord Mokaton, I believe that you have also got the news about what happened at the border. Gek and his brother have committed treason and surrendered to the enemy. They have committed heinous crimes and have been executed by me. Kill, could it be that you are with them?"
Mokaton said in a deep voice: "Your Royal Highness, it is not you alone who has the final say whether Mr. Geke's brother has betrayed the country or surrendered to the enemy. The king will personally judge it. You have violated the national law by beheading first and reporting later. You have not received the king's order. It is even more against the rules to lead an army back to the capital. I am guarding Sunset Pass and only obey the king's orders. If you go back alone, I will open the door immediately. However, if you want to pass here with an army, I'm sorry. I can only stop it!"
"Mokaton!"
The princess amplified her voice and said angrily: "It seems that you are also with Gek. You have surrendered to the Bolton Kingdom a long time ago and wanted to stop our army here. Then the Bolton Kingdom's army colluded and sent us Destroy them all, right?"
Without waiting for Mokaton's answer, she shouted loudly: "Hamo! Carry out Gek's body!"
Soon, Gek's body was carried under the city and the white cloth was lifted.
"This is the body of the traitor Gek!"
Carter looked up and said loudly: "You are all warriors of our Custer Empire! You have defended the country with your blood and lives! You have resisted countless rebellions and the invasion of the Bolton Kingdom! You have glory on your head and a heart in your heart. Home and country! Now, are you going to betray your country, betray your king, and betray your relatives like Gek and Mokaton? Traitors will be despised by the world and will be infamy for eternity! Your descendants will be condemned forever. Nailed on the pillar of shame, reviled by others, and humbled forever!"
On the city wall, the soldiers holding bows and arrows looked at me and I looked at you, with different expressions.
Mocatun suddenly shouted coldly: "Fire the arrow!"
Carter held his head high, his eyebrows raised, and said angrily: "Who dares!"
Immediately, she pointed at Mokaton and shouted: "You old thief! You have already defected to the Bolton Kingdom, haven't you? I am the princess of Custer and the general of the border army! I once repelled the Bolton Kingdom's army. , to seize back the city that I, Custer, once lost! I fought bloody battles with the border soldiers and defended the border to the death, preventing the enemy from taking a step forward! I sacrificed my life and blood for the country and the people, and never cared about my own life! I am full of glory ! I have no charges, but now you want to shoot me with arrows! Isn’t this a guilty conscience or treason? What is it?”
As she spoke, Chu Xiaoye taught in a low voice.
Her impassioned, indignant, and upright words immediately made the soldiers on the city wall lose their momentum and their hearts were shaken.
"Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow!"
Mokaton yelled again, then walked to a soldier nearby, snatched the bow and arrow from the soldier's hand, fully pulled the bowstring, pointed it downwards, and shot out with a "whoosh" sound.
However, as soon as his arrow flew out of the city wall, it was broken in half by a flying arrow and fell from above.
Chu Xiaoye looked back and said in surprise: "Denise, is there any chance?"
Denise looked up and said calmly: "He is very cautious, only the helmet is exposed. Occasionally his face is exposed, but it is fleeting. The chance is not high."
"Mokaton! You traitor! I am the princess! What crime do I have that you want to shoot me for?"
Carter continued to yell at the top.
Chu Xiaoye suddenly whispered: "Tell the superiors that Bolton's army is approaching and is about to invade. It must be Mokaton who colluded with them and tipped off the information."
Carter suddenly pointed at it and said angrily: "Mokaton! I have obtained evidence that you colluded with the Bolton Country! Now as soon as I left the border, the Bolton Country army suddenly gathered at the border and was about to invade our border! This is obviously You tipped off the Bolton Nation! You still don’t admit it? You and Gek attempted to lead the Bolton Nation’s army to invade our country. You betrayed the country and committed a heinous crime! Why don’t you quickly open the city gate, bow your head and plead guilty, and follow me to the capital to meet you? His Majesty!"
"What? The Bolton army has already gathered at the border?"
"Didn't you hear a few days ago that their army has left? Is this news deliberately released to make us relax our vigilance?"
When the soldiers on the city wall heard the news, their faces were filled with shock and they all looked at their general.
Mokaton's face turned red, and he said angrily: "Shoot arrows! I order you to shoot arrows! Shoot them to death!"
The old general, who had always been calm and composed, suddenly became furious and panicked.
Although he knew it was a false accusation, he still felt guilty because he did have selfish motives and wanted to help the Losney family stop Princess Carter's army here, and even shoot her.
Strictly speaking, he did commit treason.
For a veteran of his age who had spent his whole life guarding the border city for the Custer Empire and was covered with glory, this matter was indeed a bit contrary to his conscience, making him feel ashamed and flustered.
He wanted to quickly deal with the princess who kept irritating him with words and provoking his men.
"I order to shoot arrows! Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
Mokaton pulled out the knife from his waist and shouted angrily.
However, in his anger, he accidentally exposed half of his red cheeks from behind the wall.
"call out!"
At this moment, Denise, who had been aiming there for a long time, made a decisive decision and immediately shot the arrow with the bow string fully drawn!
"puff!"
Blood splatters!
The sharp arrow that flew away directly hit Mokaton's eyes and almost penetrated his entire brain!
Mokaton was a veteran who had experienced hundreds of battles. The moment he was hit by the arrow, he hurriedly hid behind the wall. At the same time, he suddenly raised his hand and grabbed the tail of the arrow. With a "chi" sound, he did not hesitate to grab it alive. The sharp arrow was pulled out, along with his bloody eyes!
Seeing this, the two lieutenants next to them changed their expressions and squatted down in a hurry.
Only then did they realize that there were such powerful archers hidden in the opponent's army.
Mokaton did not scream. He covered his bloody eyes, gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain, and still shouted angrily: "Shoot the arrow! Shoot the arrow quickly! They pretended to pass the king's order and killed Lord Gek without authorization, trying to lead the army in rebellion. ! We must not let them in!"
The majesty of this veteran is still there. He has been operating here for most of his life, so he naturally has many loyal subordinates.
Hearing his angry shouts, the soldiers no longer hesitated and shouted immediately: "Shoot arrows! Shoot arrows!"
As a result, arrows rained down on the city wall one after another.
Chu Xiaoye hurriedly shouted: "Raise your shield! Retreat!"
The soldiers behind immediately rushed forward, raised their shields high, and quickly retreated to protect them.
Carter gritted his teeth bitterly and said: "Sooner or later, this general will cut that old guy into pieces and throw him out to feed the dogs!"
She glanced at Chu Xiaoye beside her and suddenly smiled: "Feeding dogs is a waste, it's better to feed lions."
Chu Xiaoye asked strangely: "Can you still laugh?"
Carter smiled and said: "Of course, I have done it according to your method. Obviously, it is very effective. The news will soon spread in this Sunset Pass. Mokaton shot the royal princess, colluded with the Bolton country, and committed treason and surrender to the enemy. , those who are loyal to him may not continue to be loyal to him. And those soldiers who have conflicts with him, who have been punished and insulted by him, will definitely be ready to take action. Anyway, his military morale will definitely be unstable. We have plenty of opportunities."
Chu Xiaoye raised his head, glanced at the tall city again, and said: "There is indeed an opportunity, but time waits for no one. The longer it is delayed, the more dangerous it will be. Mokaton will probably send a message saying that you are leading the army to cause chaos. , attack Sunset Pass, and ask other cities to send troops to support. By then, it will be even more difficult for us to attack. Therefore, we must resolve this matter as soon as possible."
Carter looked at him with bright eyes and said excitedly: "Do you have an idea?"
"tonight… "
As soon as Chu Xiaoye said two words, the girl quickly said excitedly: "Let's continue to have a long talk tonight. You have to tell me your plan clearly. As long as your method is good, this general will And there are rewards!”
Chu Xiaoye's legs trembled and she quickly said: "We will attack tonight! Denise shot Mokaton in the eye. Now Mokaton must be seriously injured and cannot come out to take command. Let's attack while shouting. Those Among the soldiers who were panicking and confused, there must be someone who could not help but secretly open the city gate."
"night."
Princess Carter looked at him tenderly and said, "It's great to have you. After we capture Sunset Pass, I will definitely reward you well. Don't refuse."
Pull you down!
The devil wants your reward!
Please be a good person and stop repaying kindness with enmity!
Chu Xiaoye regretted following her advice. Now that he was unable to get off the lion, what should he do
Very urgent, waiting online!
