woo—
The ear-piercing sound of bugles resounded through the camp of the Golden Lion Army, and the soldiers who had just woken up from their dreams rushed out of their tents in a panic.
While wearing armor randomly on his body, he was still looking for his weapon everywhere.
Cursing, shouting and asking, and the screams of soldiers bumping into each other in the darkness intertwined.
"Stand in place, don't run around! Those who violate the order will be cut off!"
Officers ran and shouted in the camp, maintaining order.
In fact, the current situation is very dangerous, and if one is not careful, a camp roar will occur.
Even if there is no enemy invasion at all, but under the spread of panic, and it is late at night, the officers can easily lose control of the soldiers, causing the unsuspecting soldiers to kill each other.
Fortunately, this time Ke Lin made preparations in advance and sent black cavalry to run back and forth in the camp of the Golden Lions. If anyone was found to take the opportunity to make trouble, he would be arrested and punished immediately.
On the contrary, the military camp of the Uman family was in chaos.
In the middle of the night, the military order was not delivered smoothly, and the soldiers didn't even know what happened.
Moreover, these soldiers were immersed in the anger and grief of the burning of Falling Eagle City, and their spirits were on the verge of collapse, so they relied on Earl Uman's promise to avenge them.
But now under this kind of chaos, the forcibly suppressed anger in the hearts of the soldiers burst out all at once, and immediately turned into hysterical madness.
Many soldiers don't care about it, chop and kill anyone they see, only to find out after killing them that they are not enemies at all, but their own companions.
This kind of crazy emotion usually spreads, and it is completely out of control.
Earl Uman was also injured at this time, and he was still wondering why his niece Cynthia betrayed him, and who was planning to assassinate him, and he didn't stand up in time to stabilize people's hearts.
By the time he realized something was wrong, the situation in the camp was completely out of control.
…
"Brother Charles!"
In Knight Nelson's tent, Vera cried and threw herself on Charles' body.
She never thought that her brother would come back to life from the dead, and then die again...
"Nelson! How dare you murder Lord Charles!" Colin scolded righteously.
At this time, Knight Nelson had been restrained by Knight Campbelling, and he sat on the ground with blank eyes. After hearing Colin's question, he pulled an ugly wry smile from the corner of his mouth, and said weakly:
"I said that I didn't intend to kill him at all. He hit the tip of my sword himself. Do you believe it?"
Obviously, such an excuse made everyone look at Knight Nelson as if they were looking at a fool.
Knight Nelson also understood that in such a situation, he couldn't explain clearly at all, and the weirdness of the whole thing was beyond his comprehension.
Maester Dawn's eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
When Colin told him that there was a way to deal with Knight Nelson, he never expected that the final situation would become like this.
Although he couldn't figure out what went wrong, Cavalier Nelson accidentally killed Charles, but the final result...was pretty good.
Nelson is done.
As the direct legion of the St. Hilde family, the Golden Lion Legion, whether it is a middle-level officer or a low-level soldier, must be ranked first in loyalty to the St. Hilde family in the north.
Knight Nelson actually killed the eldest son of the St. Hilde family's generation. Such evil deeds doomed him to completely lose his appeal in this army.
Even at this time, many soldiers of the Golden Lion Legion hated him to the bone, trying to find an opportunity to kill him to avenge Charles.
At this time, the turmoil in the Uman family's barracks became more and more serious, and the screams and killings even reached here.
Ke Lin frowned and listened for a while, then asked doubtfully, "What's going on?"
The assassination of Earl Uman failed, which made Colin a little disappointed.
Earl Uman's vigilance was too strong, even Cynthia couldn't make a sneak attack. Moreover, this person was indeed powerful, and he was able to escape calmly from the fifth-rank warrior Prince Meruvi.
But after the assassination was fruitless, the blood slaves had already withdrawn, why is it getting more and more chaotic over there now
Bachelor Dawn listened for a while, and judged: "It should be a camp roar."
"Ying Xiao?" Colin shuddered.
He had heard of the horror of Ying Xiao, and if it was not handled properly, the casualties caused by Ying Xiao would not be less than a fiasco.
So, Colin immediately ordered: "Knight Louis, please go to maintain order immediately, and don't let the panic of the Uman family army spread to the Golden Lion Army!
Remember, your task is to guard the camp of the Golden Lion Army. If Earl Uman asks for help, don't send troops!
If there are rebels rushing into our camp, please don't be merciless, they will all be shot to death! "
Knight Louis hesitated for a moment, but under Colin's aggressive gaze, he nodded and said, "Yes!"
He also saw the situation clearly now, Knight Nelson was completely finished.
Obviously, the Cavaliers of Campbelling should take over as the new head of the legion next, and the Golden Lion Legion will also be controlled by Colin and Vera.
Under such circumstances, Louis must make a choice.
And his choice was not unexpected.
When Knight Louis led the order and walked out of the tent, Knight Nelson finally raised his head and looked at Colin fixedly, his eyes seemed to have recovered a little.
The desperate knight said in a deep voice: "Viscount Angelet, do you still insist on withdrawing the Golden Lion Army to Winter City?"
"Yes."
Knight Nelson nodded when he heard the words, and seemed to have finally recognized the reality, and said frankly: "Do you know? Before you arrived here, I received a mysterious letter saying that the Duke is not dead, please I must carefully examine the duke's body you have brought."
"Oh?" Colin changed his expression, and quickly asked, "Who sent you that letter?"
Knight Nelson shook his head slowly: "There is no signature on the letter."
Colin frowned, and just about to ask again, he heard Knight Nelson say again: "My lord, can you tell me, is your lord really dead?"
"Yes." Colin nodded solemnly, "I can swear on the honor of the ancestors of the Angelet family that the Duke has unfortunately passed away."
Knight Nelson nodded, as if he had finally let go of something. He turned his head to look at Vera, bowed and saluted, and said, "Miss Vera, please believe that my loyalty to the St. Hilde family has never changed from the beginning to the end. !"
After saying this, before Vera could reply, Knight Nelson stood up abruptly and rushed back.
The Cavaliers of Campbelling held Nelson's back with a long sword in his hand. At this time, he was caught off guard and found that his long sword had pierced Nelson's chest.
Knight Nelson turned his head and showed a cruel sneer at his old opponent: "Campbelling, you have been dreaming of this day for a long time, right?"
After finishing speaking, he turned around again and said to the people in front of him, "Believe it or not, Charles died like this!"
Chi!
The Cavaliers of Campbelling drew out their long swords, and Nelson slowly fell to the ground, and soon fell silent.
Blood was flowing in the tent, and the atmosphere was almost stagnant.
After a while, Colin broke the suffocating silence: "Since Knight Nelson has committed suicide, the most urgent task is to choose a new legion commander, Vera, as the only Saint Hilde here, do you think Who is most suitable for this role?"
Although Vera felt sorry for her brother, she also knew that she needed to cheer up at this time.
Hearing this, he wiped away the tears on his face, looked around, and finally said softly: "Knight of Campbelling, please take charge of commanding the Golden Lion Army."
The Cavaliers of Campbellin knelt down on one knee decisively, and responded loudly:
"yes!"
…
On the other side of the river, a group of dwarven cavalry was looking at the chaotic Uman family camp.
"What's going on there?" Marquis Dawson's expression was very serious, with both expectations and doubts.
"My lord, there was a report from sentry cavalry this morning. A group of black cavalry crossed the River Run and entered the camp of the Golden Lion Army. I guess, Viscount Angelet had a conflict with Earl Uman."
Marquis Dawson stroked his beard and thought for a while, before finally ordering:
"Let the soldiers get ready, as soon as the sky is bright, cross the river immediately!"
"yes!"
