Chapter 146: Martyrdom 5
Sunset City Royal Capital City Defense Barracks.
The city defense army has two responsibilities in Sunset City, one is to guard the city, and the other is to patrol a large area of the royal capital, but does not include some special areas such as the royal palace and the land belonging to the nobles.
In charge of the 50,000 city defense army is a duke of the royal family, the Duke of Norton once guarded the northern frontier and fought a great war, and then Quinn XIII transferred him to the city defense chief, commanding the city defense army, and now it has been twenty years.
Duke Norton is also dying, but his ambition has not diminished, and he still wants to make achievements, of course, Duke Norton can become the head of the city defense, but also because of his loyalty and isolation, almost no contact with other ministers of the kingdom, no friendship, and he also sneers at the pull of the queen and the muse, and does not care at all.
So no matter what the queen Bella and the muse do, the Duke of Norton ignored it, and he was from the royal family, no one dared to frame the loyal and withdrawn Duke of Norton.
What's more, the 50,000 city defense army is just a miscellaneous army, and Queen Bella and Muse really don't like it, not to mention that the armament has not been replaced for more than ten years, even the training is almost sparse and perfunctory.
Of course, it has to do with the big picture.
After signing a peace and trade agreement with Angela, Sunset City became so war-weary that it had been abandoned for more than a decade, and with Queen Bella and the Grand Prince Muse profiting from it, not only was the city defense poorly equipped, but also the equipment of several major armies stationed on the frontier was not guaranteed.
At this moment, in the barracks of the city defense army, in the council hall, Duke Norton summoned several major generals with a serious expression.
Looking at his subordinate generals, Duke Norton felt a sense of disappointment in his heart, these generals were not wearing armor, they were all in civilian clothes.
But these generals can't be blamed, it's been like this for more than ten years.
Duke Norton sighed lightly and said, "I got the news, something happened in the palace, the eldest prince led the army to attack the palace, everyone, tell me, are we going to help the people in the palace, or help the eldest prince to seize the throne?"
"This ......"
All the generals couldn't help but be stunned, this news is not small, it is like a bomb exploding in the ears, which is deafening.
Seeing the performance of the generals, Duke Norton sighed in his heart, after all, he was a general who had never experienced a war.
A general who was usually more sleek immediately said: "The last general doesn't understand this kind of war, it's all up to the duke!"
"It's up to the Duke!"
The others immediately agreed, and even had a smile on their faces, because this was an opportunity to gain military exploits.
Duke Norton sighed lightly and said: "I don't know what happened to the palace, but the eldest prince suddenly attacked, obviously aiming for the throne, as a descendant of the royal family, I should not encourage this kind of rebellion, so, everyone, except for the soldiers who patrol and defend every day, you wait for the opportunity to gather your respective troops as soon as possible, and we will wait for the opportunity to move!"
"Yes, Lord Duke!"
The generals immediately bowed down and received the command.
While the Great Prince's Blood Sword Legion was besieging the city, a knight army in black armor led by Cameron went beyond the Corridor of Light.
The agent immediately came to give a detailed account of the situation in the palace.
Immediately, Cameron looked at a middle-aged man beside him, it was Frank, at this time Frank was not wearing armor, but a cloth coat, and his beard covered the lower half of his face, but the light emitted by one of his eyes made Cameron's heart tremble, since joining forces with Frank, he felt a powerful aura emanating from Frank.
As a high-level and high-level knight, whoever is stronger than him must be a high-level peak knight, or even a legendary knight.
"Mr. Frank, what are we going to do next?" Cameron asked humbly.
In the past, it was difficult to make the old man Cameron humble, at least not among the nobles.
Frank nodded slightly, and said: "Time is running out, since the enemy's ordinary soldiers are about 50,000, then we must make good use of this surprise attack, so let's do it, Captain Macallan, this surprise attack is mainly based on you, and I am the auxiliary, our purpose is to defeat the main force of the Muse, so that it will collapse without knowing the reason, and then as the heir to the orthodox throne of Mars, it will inevitably be supported by a large number of nobles." So this time, be sure to crush with one blow, and don't leave room for it!"
"Understood, Mr. Frank!" The Macallan naturally knew what they would face after this surprise attack, knowing that the Grand Prince Muse had nearly six thousand knights, and these six thousand knights could not be easily eliminated.
And they're also knights of Sunset City, and McCarron can't bear to kill them all.
But the problem they have to solve at the moment is to defeat the Blood Sword Legion, more than 4,000 against more than 50,000, it's exciting enough to think about it!
McCarron opened his voice and said: "Okay, sons, the time has come to serve Your Majesty, clear the rebellion along the way, I ask you, are you afraid of death?!"
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't be afraid of ......"
All the knights of the Knights of the Sunset raised their spears and screamed.
Frank was also shocked, and when he saw this scene, he knew that he had underestimated the knights of the human kingdom and the red-bearded old man.
McCarron laughed proudly, and then, the long knife pointed forward, and shouted, "Kill me!"
......
In the corner of the southern city of Sunset City, there is a golden and splendid building, which is the location of the Temple of Light.
The highest-ranking priest in the Temple of Light is the Pope of Light, and below him are archbishops, bishops, assistant professors, believers, and so on.
In general, the Pope does not manage the affairs of the Temple, but only participates in major affairs and major festivals, and the day-to-day affairs are presided over by the archbishop.
And at this moment, in the Pope's residence, there are more than a dozen priests, all of whom are the senior priests of the Temple of Light, the king of Sunset City.
Archbishop Loyd gave a secret letter to an old man with a white beard, who wore a golden crown, which, unlike the king's crown, had a thumb-sized ruby in the center, which radiated divine brilliance at all times.
This old man is none other than the current Pope of the Temple of Light, Bridges.
Pope Bridges quickly read the secret letter, then threw it aside, and said: "This bit of in the royal family of Quinn always happens every few decades, this time, it's up to you to decide, of course, I don't mind turning Sunset City into the Kingdom of Light, Ax has long since died, and our Temple of Light doesn't need to abide by the agreement." ”
The archbishop's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly said: "Will this cause the disgust of other kingdoms, after all, Sunset City is one of the seven ancient kingdoms in the classics, and if it is destroyed like this, it will have a certain impact on the belief of the God of Light." ”
Pope Bridges pursed his lips and said dissatisfiedly: "I'll just talk about it, you don't have to take it seriously, what to do, you have decided, my old bones still have to enjoy a few days with the sun!"
With that, he waved his hand and told the priests to retreat.
The archbishop frowned slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, if I say that there are force majeure factors, please help us." ”
"Oh, is there a time for me to make a move? well, just tell me when the time comes!" said Pope Bridges.
After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes directly, his body shook, and the rocking chair under him shook.
Archbishop Loyd reluctantly beckoned the priests out of the room.
Immediately, they entered the Great Hall.
