Chapter 183: Loyal Ministers or Traitors
Black clouds began to appear on the edge of the sky, and the atmosphere gradually became a little breathless, and Chaikun should have celebrated happily when he saw Papong's troops defeat the rebels, but there were also dark clouds in Chaikun's heart. See 1 yarn 3 Chinese net
"Guess Kun, the rebels have been broken up, and we have won! Your Excellency, why are you still sullen? Is there any other problem?"
"Look at Papon's army with a murderous spirit, not only at the rebels, but also at us!"
"Guess Kun-sama! No, Lady Papon is finally the king! You won't do such a rebellious thing, will you?"
"No, I hope not, but who can guess these things? I hope the Duke of Papon won't go too far... β
After Papong's troops entered the city of Black Fang, they became very restless, and serious friction began to occur with the original defenders, and some soldiers even moved.
Seeing his subordinates being bullied, Chaikun seemed weak and afraid, and listened to the other party to bully his soldiers.
"Lord Chaikun, now the situation in the city is getting more and more complicated, Duke Patpen's troops have taken over the city defense and disarmed all our troops, if this continues, won't we all become prisoners?
"What! so fast! What can I do, go! All go to the Duke of Papon, swear allegiance, this is the only way to go!"
In the current situation, Papong not only has elite soldiers in his hands, but also the king's edict, and what Papong has done before is even more outrageous, those who do not obey Papong's orders have been annexed and slaughtered by Papong for various reasons. Unless everyone doesn't want to live anymore, if they want to live, they can only be attached to the Duke of Papong!
The sky gradually turned black, huge thunder flashed in the sky, and torrential rain poured down!
Outside Papong's residence, a group of people stood in the heavy rain, not daring to move a single step, waiting for Papong's reply.
The group waited until evening, and then Papon walked into the courtyard, and said quietly: "Go back, you know that it is a very wise thing to choose a master, and I will arrange fiefs and positions for you, so go back first." β
Even though most of them chose to defect, many were secretly executed.
Papon brutally took control of the city of Blackfang, turning it into a solid base of his own, and began to gather the surrounding population and begin to expand the army.
There are many different voices in the skyscraper, on the one hand, they resolutely resist the Duke of Papong, believing that Duke Papong's behavior is a blasphemy of royal power, and on the other hand, they think that Duke Papong's behavior is not unavoidable, after all, this is a special period, and it is necessary to use thunderous means to deter the restless nobles, and there are still some wolf-like rebels.
"Where is the king? I have news to report to the king! Papon is so unbelievable that he dares to kill a nobleman without permission!"
"Hey... The king is watching the song and dance! We have known the news you want to report for a long time, but now the king has completely ignored political affairs, and all official documents and urgent reports are pressed on the king's desk!"
"Is that reasonable, and has he not been persuaded to the king?"
"You are willing to persuade you to go, but I will not go... β
"My lord, my king, let me in, I'll report something important!γγγγ β
Regarding the situation outside the skyscraper, Mi Kun doesn't care at all, just be an idle king himself. Look.Mao.Line.Chinese.Text.Net
It doesn't matter if he's the Grand Duke of Milou, or the Grand Duke of Papong, or some kind of rebel, let them go! Loyal ministers and traitors are meaningless to themselves!
"My lord, it looks like someone outside the palace is coming in!
"Whatever he is, come, beauty, let's study that dance move from yesterday, I think it will look better like this!"
"King, you are really a genius!
"Musician, hurry up and play the music, I'll conduct it, let's complete another big dance!"
Black Tooth City, after the size of Papong's army expanded, it defeated several rebels one after another, occupied more surrounding cities, and gradually had the taste of a bird's-eye view of the royal capital.
After achieving such an advantage, the generals under Papong also began to move, after all, as long as the army turned back and struck hard, it could break through the skyscraper, and the status of the Duke of Papong could continue to improve!
Although Papong was also a little swollen at this time, it was not to the extent of losing his mind.
The army was now in full swing, but it was all based on quelling the king's rebellion, and most of the attacks were based on the normal system of kingdom operations.
Once you attack the royal capital, then everything will change dramatically, and at that time, your army will lose support to a certain extent, and you can't bear the consequences at the moment, so you must be patient!
In order to keep his subordinates from trouble, the Duke of Papon declared his position that he was the most loyal courtier of the kingdom, and would not take advantage of the country's troubles to disadvantage the king, and would defend the city of Black Tooth and destroy all the rebels!
Everyone was surprised by the attitude of the Duke of Papon, it turned out that Papon was really loyal, everyone had misunderstood him before...
The progress of attacking the rebels is very slow, often as soon as the rebels here are pacified, another rebel army emerges there, and the power of the local nobility is gradually swallowed up.
In a blink of an eye, in October, in order not to be wiped out, the rebels united into an army of 150,000 and pressed towards Black Tooth City to prepare for a decisive battle with Papong, and the nobles of the Colossus Kingdom also seemed to understand something, and formed an army of 120,000 and also headed towards Black Fang City, and the rebels and nobles had a common goal at this time, to destroy Papon first, otherwise no one would be able to get good fruit to eat.
"Duke Papong, urgent report! The rebels and the nobles have formed two large armies respectively, and the vanguard has arrived, will our army attack?"
"What? Attack at the same time, quick, bring me the map, I'll see where they've gone... β
Papon did not expect that he would face the rebel army and the noble army at the same time, and gathered an army of 120,000 and divided it into two parts, and began to fight with the rebel army and the noble army at the same time.
Skyscraper, after the palace, Mi Kun is watching the wonderful performance of the new Northern Dancing Queen, the surrounding ministers are very anxious, the Giant Elephant Country is now in full of holes, the nobles do not listen to the dispatch and have begun to organize a large army, and the scale of the rebels is getting stronger and stronger, the most important thing is that the two actually joined forces and began to deal with Papong of Black Tooth City, in case Black Tooth City is lost, then the army will not be able to attack the Skyscraper City in a few days, and when the time comes, no one can say what will happen...
Mi Kun was intoxicated by the enchanting dance of the Northern Mai Ji, completely ignoring the anxious ministers, and even ordered the attendants to let the ministers do their own thing, ignoring the battle in Black Tooth City.
Everyone was frightened by Mi Kun's attitude, perhaps, it is not wrong for everyone to support the third princess as the king, and now that Mi Kun is in power, the Giant Elephant Kingdom may be dying in this generation...
"You say, wouldn't it be better for us to resign? If the skyscraper is besieged, it will be difficult for us to run by then... β
"Who says it's not? I'm going to resign tomorrow, I heard that the third princess has established a strong force in the south, and I'm ready to defect to the third princess!"
"Oh, then you must have asked for directions, can you help me recommend an official position?
"How much money do you have? I can't help you for nothing... β
The people of the Skyscraper City were panicked, and many people secretly left and went south to seek refuge in Milu.
Falling Star City, Ian got the news of the battle of Black Fang City, this is a very good opportunity, if you can use this opportunity to give the Giant Elephant Kingdom a heavy blow, then the Giant Elephant Kingdom will be completely plunged into irreversible chaos.
If he makes a rash move, he is likely to attract the attention of all the forces of the Giant Elephant Country, so that he can unite with the outside world, then he must raise a force to defeat Papong in the name of this force, so that the situation in the Giant Elephant Country is completely out of control.
"Come on, send those people who supported Ruan Feng before, let them continue to lurk, waiting for the opportunity to create more chaos, and wasn't there a person named Chen Kun before? Send someone to contact him, hoping that he is a smart person... β
"Okay sir, let's do it, and we will definitely complete the task according to your expectations!"
"Yes, as long as you do it well, I will give you land, and if you do a great job, I will give you a title!"
Ian chose a force in the rebel army, this force is composed of some small nobles with a certain family background, and the leader is not like Ruan Feng's stupidity, and the destructiveness of supporting such an army is much stronger than Ruan Feng.
Ian sent a large number of officers into Zhenkun's army, and supported Zhenkun with a lot of weapons and armor, and after getting Ian's support, Zhenkun's army defeated the surrounding forces and continued to collect and annex the surrounding land.
Becoming a strong army with 40,000 elite troops, Zhenkun set his sights on Papong's army.
This time, the rebels united and sent more than 100,000 people to attack Papong, but those people were a rabble and would definitely be defeated.
After the battle between the two sides, their own army launched the final fatal blow, then the weapons and baggage of the Patpong army can be swallowed by themselves!
At the beginning of November, Papong's army and the rebels fought, although the number of rebels was large, but the elite could not catch up with Papong's army, after many battles, the rebels were defeated, the rebel leader was captured, and a few days later in the city of Black Tooth was publicly beheaded, the remnants of the rebels scattered, and were collected by Chen Kun, who was secretly waiting.
Half a month later, Papon's army and the combined forces of the nobles fought a decisive battle on the vast plains west of Black Fang.
The aristocratic coalition recruited many elite samurai, and these samurai were very powerful, and in many battles with Papong, they were able to effectively kill a large number of Papong's infantry.
Papon felt very angry, why are these nobles willing to spend money? The samurai hired this time are also a bit too powerful!
In the ensuing battle, Papong concentrated all the elite troops and formed a powerful attack line, attacking the noble coalition army, and sent cavalry to raid the two wings of the noble coalition army, and the noble coalition army blocked the strong attack of Papong's army, and used short bowmen to shoot the cavalry of Papong's troops.
At the last moment, Papon dispatched the heavily armored Tiger Knights to break through the main formation of the coalition army, kill the leading generals, and then repelled the noble coalition army, and won a temporary victory.
A few days later, the troops of the noble alliance attacked the city of Black Fang again, and the two sides fought again.
This time, when the two sides were inseparable, Zhenkun's army was dispatched, it was 10,000 archers without any armor, under the rapid attack of 10,000 archers, Papong's army was defeated, and after losing 30,000 soldiers, it withdrew to Black Tooth City.
Papon was very frightened of these cavalry that suddenly appeared, and looked like they should be rebels, but when did the rebels appear so flexible? This seems to be somewhat similar to the troops in the early days of the Crescent King, those archers who came and went like the wind, were once a nightmare in the memories of the southern soldiers... After this period of great war, Papong only had 70,000 men left in his army, and in the face of the aristocratic coalition and flexible rebels who continued to increase their troops, Papon felt the pressure and began to resist the city.
The aristocratic coalition launched three siege battles, but none of them could capture the city, and the secret envoy of Zhenkun's army sent a message to Meteorite City, and a strange force reached the city of Black Fang.
These soldiers are dressed in the armor of Zhenkun's army, but they are actually elite white lion knights who have come to help Zhenkun besiege the city on Ian's orders.
At night, under the cover of night, the white lion knight touched the head of the city, using the advantage of the crossbow to eliminate the guards on the sentry post, after occupying the city, a large number of soldiers rushed to the city, after the city gate was opened, the noble alliance and the rebels entered the city of Black Fang at the same time, and Papong's army started hand-to-hand combat.
After one night, except for the heavily armored tiger knights and a few thousand cavalry who withdrew, the rest of the soldiers were all killed, and the city of Black Fang was breached.
The aristocratic coalition offered to take over Black Fang City, Zhenkun accepted it without thinking about it, Zhenkun's request was that all weapons and armor were heavy, and Zhenkun didn't care about the territory at all.
The aristocratic coalition didn't bother to care, and after both sides took what they needed, Zhenkun led the army to withdraw, leaving the aristocratic coalition to defend Black Fang City.
After Duke Papong returned to Sky City, he was ridiculed by everyone, everyone thought that Papong was so embarrassed to lose in the hands of a group of mud legs, thinking that Papong was an incompetent person, only Mi Kun comforted Papong, Mi Kun thought that Papong was a central officer, and it was no big deal to lose once, Mi Kun used his private treasury and allocated a large amount of money for Papong to recruit soldiers again, hoping that Duke Papong could retake Black Fang City.
"Your Majesty, you are really... I'll definitely take Black Fang back for you again!"
"Hey, Papong! You know, I don't have any skills, I just hope to live a comfortable life for a few days, I believe in you, and I am willing to hand over the power to you, I hope you don't let me down, if you still have difficulties in the future, bring them up, I can help you as much as I can!"
"King, don't worry, I will definitely make good use of the resources in my hands and organize an army as soon as possible, I have also heard that you are disdainful of the voice of the court attacking me, thank you for your trust and support to me!"
Mi Kun didn't continue to speak, smiled, turned his head and left... Mi Kun didn't know about Papon's ambitions, but who else around him could lead the army to fight? Even if someone could lead the army, would they be able to defeat the nobles and rebels?
Papon could never have imagined that it was the king who supported him in the end, and this young and naΓ―ve king actually helped him for the last time...
I still wanted to take his throne, but forget it, let's defeat the noble alliance first!
