Chapter 57: It's just a kidney-tonifying pill
The news that Chen Feng killed 40,000 soldiers spread throughout the Monty Kingdom, and even Gladstone, who was far away in Petersburg, received the news.
This means that all the knights who can fight have been killed, and the Astrological City has been completely captured by the Pants Clan, and together with Greenland, which is ambushed in the Hengduan Mountains, it is equivalent to directly cutting off all the passages for the Monty King City to rush to Petersburg.
Petersburg was in a state of being attacked on all sides, with no way to retreat and no reinforcements behind, so it could only fight to the death until the city was broken.
"Astrology City is sitting on a natural danger, and there are tens of thousands of elite knights, how can it be easily captured?
General Dicka was indignant, "Our Petersburg was surrounded and suppressed by the 200,000 elite main forces of the two clans, and we held on for seven days and seven nights, and did not let the orcs step on the city wall for half a step.
But now, it's too late. β
"Now is not the time to vent your anger, think about what to do, right? Chen Feng understands Carol's personality and can prescribe the right medicine, and it is only a matter of time before the city is broken. β
Gladstone clenched his fists and hammered against the wall, letting out a deep sigh.
He was not angry that Carol surrendered without firing a single shot, but that Chen Feng, who he had chosen to serve as Leah's assistant minister in the future, really surrendered to the Tatar leader and set fire to the knights of the 40,000 Star City.
This is the crime of the Nineteen Clans, which is enough to split his five horses and then whip the corpse a hundred times.
No matter what he has to say, there is no turning back when he comes to this point, and even if he returns to the kingdom of Monty now, he will inevitably die.
"I really know people and faces, but I don't know my heart!" General Dika said with emotion, despising Chen Feng's actions to the end.
"Perhaps, he has something else hidden?"
Gladstone had had a long conversation with Chen Feng all night, and he was very familiar with his character, not like such a bloodthirsty murderer.
"What can be hidden? Maybe he originally wanted to follow His Royal Highness Leah to enjoy the glory and wealth, but the princess was deprived of the position of prince and took the opportunity to surrender to the orc clan after being imprisoned. β
"Don't mention him, Princess Leah is in danger, I have to find a way to rush to the city of Monty, I must re-lead the knights of the whole country and fight the final battle with the pants clan. β
Thinking of Princess Leah, Gladstone's eyes shone with a hint of determination, "Hold on for three more days, transfer all the old and weak women and children in the city to the tunnels, and then the remaining knights will rush out of the enemy formation with me, and they can't sit still, Princess Leah needs my help very much at this moment." β
Once Gladstone chooses to break through, Andre's attention will turn to him, and the civilians left behind in the city can take advantage of the opportunity to disperse and flee.
"Three days, Lord Gladstone, I'm afraid this is a bit difficult!"
While General Dika was speaking, the horn sounded in the jungle in the distance, and Andre personally led the army of the trouser industry to set up a siege formation on the plain outside the city.
At the front of the line was a dilapidated prison cart, in which Carol was stuffed and used as a live target to attract St. Petersburg's feathered arrows.
On the other side, the Li tribe, who had been silent for several days, under the command of the satanic leader, forcibly broke through the weakly defended northern city gate, and the knights and orcs fought on the city walls.
"The gate of the city was broken, and the minister sent two thousand recruits to help. β
Although he was destined to have a tough battle with Andre at the moment, the North City Gate had to be defended, and Deka could only choose to leave Gladstone and lead recruits with no actual combat experience to block the Li offensive.
"Knights of the city, shoot arrows at your Lord Carol, and it is an honor for him to die at your arrows. Andrei brandished his rattan whip and shouted at the city walls.
He was well aware of the hierarchy of the Terrans, and in the realm of the Kingdom of Monti, the status of the prince was second only to the king, and only the pope of the Holy Temple could try his death sentence.
Compared to the noble prince, knight is only a humble profession, and he is not qualified to kill him at all.
"Gladstone, I'm Carroll, save me!"
The knight on the rampart lowered his arrow, fearing that he would injure Carol.
"After the outbreak of war, all the people are soldiers, there are no princes, no counts, all nobles and knights are of equal status, Carol has defected to the enemy and deserved death, and now I will kill him in the place of the Pope!" Gladstone snatched the knight's bow, and shot his arrows at Carol.
The sound of a thud pierced the silence, and an arrow pierced through his chest with precision, and Carol died on the spot, screaming in front of the bloody array.
"Gladstone, Gladstone, is even more ruthless than I thought, I really want to see you kneeling in front of me after the city is broken. β
Andrei raised his rattan whip and roared: "Take Petersburg and capture Gladstone alive." β
The chariot slowly approached Petersburg, and various ladders were set up at the mouth of the city wall one after another, due to the huge size of the beasts, the ladders they built could not be overturned at all, and the crossbow arrows could not shoot through the flesh and skin, and the only way was to pour oil and ignite the fire.
The kerosene ran out, and in the end stones and corpses could only be thrown underneath.
Stab!
In the midst of the chaos, a slave sneaks up on Gladstone and plunges two short daggers stained with poison into his chest.
"Get out!" Gladstone drew his saber and slew the slave in excruciating pain.
The poison takes effect, and Gladstone passes out.
"Go and inform General Dika and ask him to abandon the castle tower and withdraw to the castle lord's mansion. Several guards carried Gladstone, removed the tower, and returned to the city lord's mansion.
As long as the city gate is breached, regardless of whether the city lord of Gladstone is not there, the second battle plan will be implemented immediately, which is a predetermined plan.
The signal for street fighting is on!
The young men and remnants of the knights in the city harassed the orcs in turns using tunnels and houses, preventing them from approaching the city lord's mansion.
......
Greenland deliberately conveyed the news of Chen Feng's killing of the Knights to the Monty Kingdom, in order to arouse the hatred of the Terrans against him and make him have to be loyal to the Pants Clan.
He is a magician who wields thunder and lightning, and only he is qualified to fight the old immortal of the Pope.
"Why do you want to do this? Didn't you say that you would give me the antidote in two months and let me go back to the royal city of Monty? Now you are doing this, which is equivalent to driving me into a corner. β
Chen Feng pulled out a gun and broke into Greenland's boudoir, "The rabbit is in a hurry and bites, it's a big deal to die together!"
Greenland had just finished bathing, wrapped in a layer of transparent tulle, standing in front of the dresser to sort out her wet hair, and when she saw Chen Feng, she didn't hide, but said with a smile: "Then stay in the orc clan and be my fiancΓ©, the Monty Kingdom now exists in name only, and the future Azethea only belongs to the pants clan." β
"Then you give me the antidote and return it to Princess Leia, who is now stripped of her position as the prince and poses no threat to you. β
"What's the hurry? Actually, what I fed Leah to swallow was not a Gu poison, it was just a kidney-tonifying elixir. β
Chen Feng had no way out, and Princess Leah lost her value as a bargaining chip, so Greenland simply told Chen Feng the truth.
"Nima, what about me?"
Hearing this, Chen Feng almost lost his breath to the point of cerebral hemorrhage.
Doing your best for the orcs these days, it's all a scam in the end?
