"Village Chief, do you really want to go against those above for those bandits? General, we have nothing to do with those people. Please don't arrest us!"
After a long stalemate, neither the village chief nor the general backed down. However, a villager suddenly ran out of the house and ran to the village entrance with a look of fear on his face. He pulled the village chief and said this.
"Gary, what are you doing?" The village chief's expression suddenly changed.
"I... I'm saving everyone!" The villager was glared at by the village chief and felt a little guilty, but he still did not retreat and instead ran towards the general.
The village chief was a little panicked. He covered the other person's mouth and tried to push the villager back who suddenly jumped out. But General Lester stretched out his hand and, together with several soldiers, pulled the guy named Gary over.
"General, you... you can't do this!" the village chief said quickly.
General Lester ignored him at all, but stared at the villager and said slowly: "Where are those wanted fugitives? Are they really in this village?"
The villagers were a little scared after being stared at by the general, but he still plucked up the courage and said, "They...the village chief hid them at home."
When General Lester heard this, a smile finally appeared on his face.
"You are so brave for harboring a wanted criminal." He turned to look at the village chief and said coldly, "Now that someone has testified, what reason do you have to stop us?"
"He... Gary has gone crazy! His words don't count." The village chief said with sweat on his head, but still managed to hold on.
General Lester snorted and shook his head.
"Is he crazy? I think you are crazy." He took two steps forward, pushed the person away, and shouted loudly, "Some people have testified that Ker Village is harboring fugitives. I now respect the king's will and suppress the bandits. , whoever wants to stop it will be guilty of the same crime!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand to the army behind him.
"Search for me."
The village chief was pushed aside. Watching soldiers pour towards the village. His mouth opened, but in the end, nothing came out.
There's no way to stop it...
He stared at Gary who was hiding behind the general, feeling cold in his heart.
However, just when the soldiers entered the village.
"Being unreasonable and bullying innocent people. Is this how you repay this country after I appointed you as the general of Carites?"
At the corner of the street, the figure wearing a crown and gorgeous clothes came out.
The soldiers couldn't help but stop in their tracks.
"...Your Majesty?"
"It's a liar, not your Majesty." General Lester strode forward at this moment, his deep voice was like thunder, waking the soldiers from their daze.
Then, the soldiers faced the king and showed hostility again.
However, facing the endless army, the king did not show any signs of cowardice. Instead, he spoke solemnly: "It's really sad. As soldiers who swear to defend Carites to the death, you don't even know who to point your swords at." Know."
The soldiers looked at each other and seemed hesitant.
The king did not stop speaking.
"I, Louis Hussen, was born in the spring of the 227th year of the old calendar of the Empire. My father made me the crown prince on that day, and my mother weaved a grass ring for me with mistletoe. Then, my father violently I died, the empire collapsed, and my brothers betrayed me one by one, leaving only the loyal soldiers who helped me build Caretes from the ruins of the empire. Soldiers, look what you are doing? You betrayed He broke his oath, did not distinguish between right and wrong, and completely lost the glory placed by his ancestors."
His voice has never been so loud and powerful as it is today, like a bell ringing late at night, echoing continuously over the village.
The soldiers stared blankly at the king.
They still held their weapons, but no one took another step forward.
"You... don't believe him, he is a liar." General Lester was stunned for a moment and came to his senses. He glanced at the king hesitantly and spoke again, "Our Majesty is in Glory, and he is not..."
However, he was interrupted by the king just in the middle of his words.
"Lester Dunphy. You are the son of Matt Dunphy and the grandson of Brand Dunphy." The king said slowly, "You have served the royal family for generations. Your grandfather died in the Valley of the Broken Arms. , your father also died at the end of November of the 239th year of the Empire due to the recurrence of an old injury. They both made great military exploits, died defending the country, and earned supreme glory for your family. After their death, they also Respectable. But... what about you?"
"I..." General Lester frowned, as if he wanted to defend himself.
The king said sternly: "You don't distinguish between right and wrong, and you led the army to surround the king. Not only did your father's efforts go to waste, but these loyal soldiers were also accused of disloyalty because of your stupidity. General Lester , you should be ashamed of it."
General Lester looked at the king, his mouth wide open, but said nothing.
For a moment, the whole village fell into deathly silence. Even the village chief and villagers on one side, looking at the king at this moment, couldn't help but feel the urge to worship.
The king faced the army and shook his head.
"What are you doing here? Get out of here!"
When the soldiers heard this, they looked at each other. Some even hesitated to turn around, as if they were ready to follow the king's command and withdraw from the village.
However, General Lester gradually came back to his senses.
"No... he is not your Majesty." He looked a little pale, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "He is just a liar who stole the palace and the badge and wanted to subvert the entire Carites."
As he spoke, he took out a token from his waist and raised it in his hand.
—is a token of command of the army.
"Your general is me, not some bandit who has read a few history books and comes out to cheat." His momentum gradually recovered, and the noise became louder. "Get him!"
Suddenly, the atmosphere at the scene took a turn for the worse again, and the soldiers became ready to attack again.
So stubborn...
The king sighed inwardly.
"Wait... General Lester, do you still remember this?" He suddenly took out a piece of letter paper from his pocket and waved it in front of the other party's eyes.
General Lester frowned: "...what?"
Confused, he took a few steps forward, trying to see clearly the letter in the king's hand.
However, at this moment, a vague magic wave suddenly came from the house on his right. Suddenly, General Lester's expression changed drastically, he turned around and wanted to rush back among the soldiers.
"Hmph... it's too late."
A joking female voice reached his ears.
At that moment, before anyone else realized what was happening, a black shadow suddenly appeared, like a ghost, flying straight towards General Lester in the bright sunlight!
General Lester had already run fast enough, but unfortunately, the distance between him and the black shadow was too close.
In the blink of an eye, the black shadow suddenly unfolded, like a huge cloak, covering his entire body and binding him tightly. In panic, the general struggled wildly, but soon he felt all the strength in his body was draining away. After a while, he couldn't even exert any effort.
Then, the black shadow wrapped around General Lester, flew to the king's side, and threw him to the ground like a prisoner.
The soldiers only reacted at this time and wanted to rush over to rescue the general.
"Don't move, or I will kill him." Laila flew out of the house, came behind the king, grinned at the soldiers, and said.
The soldiers suddenly stopped.
At the same time, nine other mages also came out of the corner of the village and stood with the king.
Among them, some had a ball of fire in their hands, some had a floating stone under their feet, and some had a piece of ice crystal flying above their heads... Ten people lined up in a line, with different postures, and stood beside them Ka The king of Ritus, with General Lester lying helpless at his feet.
"You actually deceived the general. Well done." Tony turned his head and whispered to the king.
The king smiled and said nothing.
Then, the ten mages turned their heads together, facing the army at the entrance of the village, and smiled in unison.
"What are you looking at? Do you want to see my forbidden curse flames?"
At this moment, even the villagers nearby couldn't help but hold their breath and widened their eyes, as if... they were watching some extraordinary scene.
