Chapter 32: Hou Ye is clever

When one of Alonso's spies saw that Leonard had won, he rode back to the Marquis's camp and reported the situation with great joy: "Report!—Your Excellency the Marquis! The Second Swordsman Regiment has thwarted the attack of the Lars Empire. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Frank was killed on the spot. Our army has won! It's great!-"

Alonso, who was supposed to be happy, heard that it was the Second Swordsmen who had won, but he was angry and scolded the spies: "What is there to make a fuss about!?--haven't you even seen this little bit of the world!?-"

The spies, who knew Alonso's perverse nature, hurriedly knelt down on one knee in front of the Marquis, clasped his hands into fists, and begged for forgiveness with a sincere attitude of fear and admitting his mistake: "Little one knows his mistake! ”

Alonso's eyes fluttered with a hideous face, and he waved the dust in his hand viciously, and said loudly to all the guards: "It's good to know what is wrong! From now on, you must all understand! The Lars Imperial Army was not defeated by the Second Sword Regiment, but was exterminated by Ben Hou himself. ”

Then Alonso raised his arm and pointed to the drunken envoy of the Lars Empire who was lying on the wine table, and said: "Chop off his head, cut off his ears and nose, scratch his face, and hang it on Benhou's car." - This is the head of Frank. The guards received the order and immediately slaughtered the messenger, and disposed of the man's head as the Marquis had instructed, and then hung the disposed head on Alonso's carriage, and pasted a banner indicating that the head was the head of Emperor Frank of Lars.

Then, as he quickly slipped into his old carriage, Alonso gave orders and intimidated the guards with a vicious and hideous face: "The whole army is on its way!" - Benhou must take the city of Mandoria before the Second Swordsmen. After the deed is accomplished, you will all be rewarded for your meritorious deeds. If you fail, you'll all have to be hanged. Did the Marquis's coachman hear this, and he was so frightened that he drove straight to Mandolia.

When the guards heard this, they were all frightened and replied loudly, "I understand!" Then, following Alonso's carriage, they began to chase after them desperately, running all the way to Mandolia out of breath.

Turn back again. Seeing that Crotty and Howl had already run in front of him, Leonard slapped himself on the head and shouted, "Oh no! ”

Crotty noticed the anxious look on Leonard's face, so he asked the other party with concern: "It's getting late." We've just had another vicious battle. Is there anything that is so important?"

Leonard replied with a stern face: "Alonso will definitely capture Mandolia first." ”

Standing beside Crotty, he asked suspiciously, "What does it matter? You are the leader of the Second Swordsman Regiment of the Republic of Vosfitta." Alonso was a marquis of the Republic of Vosfitta. Whoever is going to occupy Mandolia is not the same?" because Leonard and Bran were afraid that the orc warriors would make trouble when they found out, so they had not yet told him about Alonso's evil form.

When Bran heard this, he interjected and replied in Leonard's place, "That's a big deal. Thunder. If it's not convenient for you to say..."

Leonard interrupted Bran's words, and said nonchalantly, "What's the big deal? Tina, she's Frank's daughter." ”

When Howl and Crotty heard this, they were stunned and exclaimed: "What!?" "How can there be such a thing..."

As he spoke, Leonard sheathed his sword, raised his legs, and began to move quickly in the direction of Mandoria: "So time is ticking. Let's go now. I'll tell you about Tina and what Alonso is along the way..."Seeing this, Bran, Crotty, Howl, the remaining Samurai of Destruction, and the Orc Hammermen also took their own steps, and left the banks of the Cullen River after the Great Swordsman.

On the way to Mandolia, Leonard told his comrades everything that had happened after Howl and Crotty had left, and what Frank had finally told him. In addition, not long after the samurai and orc hammermen set out, they all took off their armor and went into battle lightly in order to be in a hurry and slow down the march.

The crowd passed by Alonso's camp and found it empty. There are many wheel prints and footprints left on the ground that have headed towards Mandolia. Seeing this, the anger in his heart finally couldn't help but burn violently, and he scolded: "Alonso, that bastard who can't be saved when he sees death! If I meet him, I will definitely split him in half with an axe to sacrifice Kevin's spirit in the sky!"

Then turn to Alonso's side. The Marquis's nearly 2,000 guards (there were more than 2,000 of them, but a small number of them had deserted) soon arrived at the city of Mandolia. At this time, there was no garrison in the city of Mandolia, except for the more than 200 militiamen who stayed behind to maintain law and order, and the guards guarding the palace. Hundreds of Alonso's elite guards climbed the southern walls of the capital. The more than 200 militiamen stationed on the tower fled without a fight, and withdrew to the palace.

Alonso's car drove into Mandolia. The Marquis ordered his five hundred guards who were good at archery to stay behind and guard the city gates, and intimidated them with a vicious and harsh explanation: "You close the city gates for the Marquis, and no matter who comes, you can't let them pass, especially the men of the Second Swordsman Regiment Leonard." As soon as someone tried to enter the city, he immediately shot him with arrows, and sent someone to inform Ben Hou quickly. If Leonard and the others are allowed to enter the city, you will all fall to the ground. ”

One of the guards who stayed behind at the city gate heard this, and bowed deeply to Alonso in horror and said, "Yes!"

As soon as Alonso left the city gates with 1,500 other torch-carrying guards, he instructed a few of his eloquent men to read aloud a statement he had drafted: "Listen to all the inhabitants of Mandoria!

His Excellency Marquis Alonso, a wise and powerful soldier of the Republic of Vosfeta, has taken the lead in the war, the Emperor of your Lars Empire, Frank, and has entered this city. If you want to be exempt from the sanctions of our army, you should obediently donate all your property and dedicate it to the Marquis, and take the initiative to atone for your sins!"

The inhabitants of Mandolia saw Alonso's army and heard the so-called statement of the other party, and they hid in their houses in great indignation, locking the doors and windows: "It's a gang of robbers!" At the scene, no one took the initiative to donate money and atone for their sins.

One of Alonso's bodyguards, seeing that the streets were empty and the houses on either side were brightly lit, immediately reported the situation to the Marquis: "Your Excellency, the inhabitants of the city have gone into hiding when they see us. What are we going to do next?"

Alonso waved the dust in his hand wantonly, smiled and replied with a rather smug expression: "As long as they hear it." According to the original plan, you will go to the palace with Benhou first, catch all the people of the royal family of the Lars Empire, and clean up the country's treasury by the way. Then you set fire to the city. Aren't all the gold and silver treasures buried under the ruins belong to Ben Hou and you?"

Hearing this, the first one among the guards stretched out his right hand in hypocrisy and pretended to be surprised, gave his thumbs up, and slapped Alonso's ass loudly: "Master Hou is clever!"

Knowing that the South City Gate had fallen, Alonso had already led his troops to attack Mandolia, changed into a short mage robe with a cloak of emerald green, and Tina's big jewel-like brown eyes holding a sandalwood royal ceremonial staff were full of determination, and hurriedly ordered dozens of elite guards guarding the palace: "You quickly take the queen mother and others to evacuate from the back gate of the palace." The enemy army is coming soon. ”

The captain of the guard, who was dressed in bright yellow alloy armor and dressed exactly the same as the sword fighter, stepped out of the middle of a row of guards who were also dressed in the same costume, and anxiously burned his eyebrows and pleaded with Tina: "Your Highness." Escape with us. ”

Tina's gaze was unwavering and she retorted to the captain of the guard, "No. The queen mother is older than us, and she is not as fast as the soldiers. Someone had to break off to stop the enemy's pursuit. ”

When the captain of the guard heard this, he became more and more anxious to persuade Tina, and turned back and shouted at his colleagues: "Even so. It is not your turn to do such a thing, Your Highness, and we will take on this great, glorious, and arduous mission. Isn't that what you say!?"

When the guards heard this, they did not shirk or hesitate to agree: "Yes!-" "Of course!-" "This is the duty of us guards!"

Tina, however, had made up her mind, and as she spoke, she turned around and left the palace without looking back: "I'm here to thank you." But you are also responsible for escorting the queen mother from the city of Mandolia. And in the palace, I am the only one who is proficient in spells, and I can delay the pursuit of the enemy army. Therefore your heart, Tina can only grasp it. ”

Seeing this, the captain of the guard really couldn't abandon Tina, and shouted: "Your Highness!-"

Immediately afterwards, the captain of the guard ordered the other guards: "You should go and escort the queen and them." ”

So, the captain of the guard led more than 200 militiamen who fled back from the south gate, rushed out of the palace, and chased after Tina: "The rest of the people will go with me to find His Highness." "The more than 200 militiamen who fled and returned deserved to be killed according to the law. They have no mission to do now, and rushing to rescue the princess is a great opportunity to atone for their crimes. Of course, this was only possible if the Lars Empire continued to exist.

As soon as Tina stepped out of the palace gates, she recalled all the things she had experienced with her kind father, tears could not stop pouring out of her eyes, her jewel-like eyes were fierce and clear, and she gritted her teeth with hatred, and she secretly swore in her heart that she was determined to kill Alonso:

"Father. Your daughter will never watch your head hanging from the carriage after being murdered by a traitor, but she will not be indifferent to it. Tina has vowed to sacrifice your soul in heaven by breaking the body of this wicked man. Please bless your daughter to fight for you with your own hands. ”

By this time, Leonard had already led the Breaker Samurai and Orc Hammermen to the foot of the southern walls of Mandoria. On the castle tower, one of Alonso's guards held a torch in his right hand and saw the Great Swordsman coming, and in his left hand he held a spell megaphone to his lips, shouting at the people who came from the city: "Who are you!?—If we get closer, we're going to release arrows!—" The spell megaphone is one of the latest products developed by the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce.

Bran also raised the torch in his hand and responded loudly: "We are the Second Swordsman Regiment..."

As soon as the leader of the guard heard the words of the Second Swordsman, he raised his arm and waved it violently, and shouted to his subordinates: "Release the arrows!--must not let them pass!-"Whoosh!--Whoosh!--... Hundreds of arrows flew down from the city wall towards Leonard and the others.

Leonard swung his sword and shot down several arrows that flew in front of his eyes, and retreated one after another, and said to himself anxiously, "Damn!—now it will be too late to go around the other gates." "The Great Swordsman and his party are mentally prepared for the enemy's actions. Plus the cover of nightfall. In the confusion, only a few of his men were wounded by arrows. Neither the Breaker Samurai nor the Orc Hammermen who had thrown away their armor could resist the arrows.

At this moment, near the drawbridge stationed at the south city gate, several terrible screams suddenly came out of the mouths of several guards: "Ahhh I saw a black shadow galloping past them. The dazzling light on the bright white blade is fleeting under the bright moonlight.

The guards were fatally slashed in an instant, and their bodies fell to the ground with a bloody thud. Click! Click... Immediately after, the cable that pulled the suspension bridge was also cut by the black shadow. The drawbridge at the south gate of Mandoria fell down and landed on the moat. The gates of the southern wall were opened.

Leonard, who was retreating step by step, couldn't help but be surprised when he saw this situation, stood in place and hesitated for a moment, then reacted, raised his broad-bladed sword with his right arm high, roared forward, and rushed into the south gate with a bang: "This is the ?... Rush!-"

When Crotty, Howl, and Bran saw Leonard rushing into the city gates, they each raised their weapons and led their subordinates to follow the Great Swordsman all the way into the city of Mandolia: "Let's rush!-" "Up!-"...

When the leader of Alonso's guards on the tower saw Leonard and the others entering the city, he couldn't help but be extremely frightened, his face was distorted, and he broke out in a cold sweat, and he lay on the side of the city wall and asked his subordinates loudly: "Bastard!--who did it!?-" None of the guards present answered this person.

Immediately afterwards, the head of the guard turned around and ran to the inner city wall, and shouted at one of the heralds under the city wall: "Hurry up and inform the Marquis!"

When the herald heard this, he hurriedly turned over and rode on the back of a war horse beside him, and was about to go straight to the palace: "Yes!" Unexpectedly, he stepped on the war horse, and as soon as he started, he hadn't taken a few steps. Several blazing white balls of light flew from one side and crashed straight into the body of the war horse.

The war horse that was galloping suddenly lost its balance, and neighed bitterly: "Hehe!"

"Uhh Boom! I saw several of Crotian's inner responses in the city of Mandoria, revealing from a dark alley to the right of the herald.

In the face of Leonard, who had already rushed into the city, covered in blood and murderous, they said: "Kill!-" "Rush!-" Alonso's guards who left behind to guard the gate only resisted a little, and then they lost their morale, knelt down on the wall, and surrendered with their weapons in both hands: "We surrender!-"...

These guards were willing to serve as the marquis's personal bodyguards just for money, and to cling to their master's power, hoping to one day rise to the rank and make a fortune. When their lives were seriously threatened, they had no awareness of fighting to the death for Alonso.

As soon as Crotty stepped into the city of Mandoria, several of her subordinates ran up to report the situation: "Miss, just now a masked man in a black tights told us that Alonso has led troops to surround the palace. The princess of the Lars Empire is leading a small group of soldiers to resist them..."

When Crotty heard this, he reflexively asked, "The masked man in the black tights, who is he?"

One of them replied: "He didn't tell us who he was." Crotty began to wonder what to do.

Seeing this, the impatient howl standing on the side carried the broken floor on his shoulder, and was about to walk forward: "I can't manage so much now." It's important to hurry up and save people. ”

When Crotty heard this, he raised his arm and waved his hand, and ordered in a loud voice: "Okay! The whole army rushed to the palace with me." ”

Seeing this, one of them hurriedly added: "Miss." The man in black also said that Alonso had left his car and was facing away from us, with only a few guards in close protect. It's the perfect opportunity to sneak up on this person. Don't implicate irrelevant people. ”

When Crotty heard this, his mind completely calmed down, and he began to consider the meaning of the man in black's words: "What does he mean..."

Although Crotty was unaware of the identity of the Man in Black, analyzing the content of these conversations, as well as her instinctive instincts, told her that the Man in Black was most likely connected to Tuckers. So the elven female swordsman raised her head and shouted to her subordinates and companions: "The whole army is on standby. Leonard, Bran, Howl. It was enough for a few of us to go. ”

He did not raise any objections and commanded his own warriors: "Okay! That's how it works, and you all stay here!" The orc warriors understood that leading a large group of men and horses to show their past would cause Alonso to be alerted, and it was not the right choice for the unexpected situation to be caused by the overcrowding. Moreover, Alonso is a marquis, and killing him is a felony of the first class in the Republic of Vosfitta, so the fewer people involved the better.

Leonard, who had been waiting for a long time on the side, heard this, and hurriedly put his sword on his right shoulder and began to rush forward: "Then let's go now!" Seeing this, Crotty, Bran, and Howl opened their legs and chased after the Great Swordsman with a quick pace. At the same time, the elven female swordsman cast an acceleration spell on the four of them. As a result, the four of them soon arrived near the square in front of the palace.

Under the cover of night, Leonard and the others quickly hid in an alley next to the street. Bran then pulled out his brass binoculars, looked at them for a moment, and then told his friends, "Alonso has been spotted." ”

I saw Alonso frantically waving the dust whisk in his hand, hiding behind a large number of guards in a cold sweat, angrily jumping, jumping up and down, and constantly yelling: "Damn! Go and get that female mage to Ben Hou!" - let Ben Hou play with her, and then sell her to the kiln!"

Fifteen hundred of his guards gathered in the square in front of the palace with torches in their hands, and surrounded Tina and the captain of the guard in front of the palace. More than two hundred militiamen of the Lars Empire had all fallen in a pool of blood in front of the female mage's eyes.

There were many injuries on his body, the blood had stained the yellow armor, and the captain of the guard, who was sweating profusely, panting, and his eyes were like torches, was firmly holding the sword in his right hand, and the blade was pointed directly at the enemy, protecting Tina behind him with all his might. In order to prevent Alonso and his guards from breaking into the palace and cover the escape of the queen and others through the back door, he and the mage and more than 200 militiamen had already fought the enemy in the square here.
