The soldiers of the other side have already entered the city, and his unsuccessful subordinates have already surrendered, and the only thing he can rely on now is the fleet anchored in the harbor.
Sea! Go to sea with the fleet! It was the only thing on his mind right now. Just let him get out of the ferry, and he will be able to save his life!
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency! Rest, rest for a while......" said the only henchman who escaped with him, sitting on the ground like a dead dog, with a breathless wail.
They were exhausted all the way, presumably at this time, the other party should also be busy receiving surrendered troops, controlling the city walls and gates, and would not come to them so quickly.
"So, what's the explosion? Why? Why is it so much so like magic? Leaning against the wall, Berman asked in despair after breathing a sigh of relief.
After calming down, he only now found that his inner lining was soaked with sweat. He was still thinking about revenge when he was running all the way just now, but now he only thinks about saving his own life.
With such an enemy, it is estimated that even the Arrant Empire is too lazy to provoke, and a small person like himself really has no chance of revenge.
However, sending the news that Seris City has "magicians to help" back to the Arrant Empire must definitely arouse the alarm of the Arrant Empire, right? Although it is not good for himself, Ceris City must be wiped out immediately, right?
Thinking of this, a cruel smile appeared on Berman's face. He's going to let that bastard city lord of Seris, Ellan Hill Chris, die! He's going to make this damn bastard never come to life!
"I, I don't know!" The henchman officer was also shocked when he mentioned those terrible explosions, and he couldn't muster the slightest courage: "Maybe it's the thunder of the devil, right?" ”
"The thunder of the devil? You might as well be a mage's pyromancy! Berman hated that iron could not be made of steel, and scolded: "Useless thing! Why didn't you bring out a single guard? Yes? ”
Hearing the scolding of his master, the henchman suddenly felt his innocence, and cried with a sad face: "My lord! The city was in such chaos just now, who can still listen to my command......"
He wanted to take a few people with him, and someone would protect him on the way. But just now, a shell landed not far away, and the entire guard battalion was dizzy, where could anyone still hear his shouting?
What's more, there was a mess at that time, and the city lord of Boman took the lead and ran, and he only cared about keeping up alone, how could he still have the energy to collect those soldiers who had collapsed?
When passing by other soldiers, it is even more impossible for him to give orders for the other party to follow him: when the commander retreats, how can anyone be willing to be the queen of his palace? When the time comes, everyone will run backwards together, won't it make the situation even more chaotic?
At that time, it was the right choice to leave the soldiers on the city wall to drag the enemy for themselves, so when he heard his master's reprimand, this henchman suddenly felt aggrieved.
Berman also saw the grievances of the other party, and he also realized that it would be useless to criticize his henchmen at such a time. At this moment, stabilizing the people who follow him is what a superior person should do.
So he adjusted his tone and said comfortingly: "Forget it! I don't blame you for that! It's just that the other party's weapons are too weird...... You come back to Arrant with me, and I will bring the rescue troops back to Ferry City!" ”
Hearing that his master was going to Arrant to move the rescue troops, and it seemed that there was still the possibility of salted fish turning over, this henchman also had some hope, and immediately said excitedly: "My subordinates are willing to swear to follow the lord to the death!" ”
"Take off this armor! Come on! Seeing that he had stabilized his henchmen and left his armor on the side of the road, Berman wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued to take steps in the direction of the port.
……
On the docks of the harbor, Lawrence stood in the sea breeze with his sword, and behind him were a line of sailors ready to go to sea.
An officer, also in leather armor, walked over, bowed his head and said, "My lord! There was a loud bang on the other side of the city wall, and black smoke rose from it...... No, that guy from Berman is going to lose. ”
"Humph! He's only been a lord here for a few years, look at what Ferry City has become like by him? The people are miserable, and the people are miserable......" Lawrence complained dissatisfiedly: "He regards women as playthings, and oppresses the weak everywhere, and I have long seen him unhappy." ”
"This time he really kicked the iron plate, I didn't expect Seris to easily step on Mayne and hit us so quickly." The officer sneered and answered.
Lawrence nodded, spat and said: "Don't give me a chance, if he really gives me a chance, I must settle an account with him for the people who have been mutilated by the women he has harmed over the years!" ”
As he spoke, at the end of the street in the distance, two figures stumbled towards the docks. They turned around three times in one step, and soon came to the front, it was the city lord of Berman and his henchmen.
"Quick! Let's get on board! Panting and running, Berman shouted loudly.
Lawrence pressed the sword, and the smile on his face became colder and colder: "It seems that today's opportunity has come!" ”
The two of them ran closer and closer, and when they saw the faces of these sailors who were waiting for the rest of their lives, they felt a little uncomfortable.
Berman stopped his steps, kept a certain distance from Lawrnes, and asked vigilantly, "What are you doing standing here?" Hurry up and get on board! I'm getting out of here! ”
"My lord, where do you want to go?" With a smile on his face, Lawrence stepped forward and asked with a hint of amusement in his tone.
"I ...... I'm going to Arante! I am the city lord appointed by the Arant, go back and report on my work, it's always right to report on my work! Berman raised the backer of the Arrant Empire and shouted loudly. He himself knew that if it weren't for the support of the Arrant Empire, Lawrence would not have taken him seriously.
Lawrence nodded, got out of the way, and reached out to make an inviting gesture, "Please!" Let the adults get on board! ”
Berman was not a fool, he had already seen that Lawrence had bad intentions towards him, so naturally he would not lean on easily. I saw him press the long sword in his hand, look at Lawnes and grit his teeth and say, "Lawnes! You're going to betray me? ”
"The subordinates just think that you, the city lord, ...... Let's let Xian! Lawrence smiled coldly, squinting at Berman and saying word by word.
"You! You dare to kill me? Berman looked at Lawnes hatefully and asked sharply.
"Naturally, I don't dare......," Lawrence still squinted, "But you weren't killed by me, you died by the sword of the Seris cavalry...... Died in the midst of the rebellion. ”
He killed Berman now, and put the responsibility for Berman's killing on the besieging Seris army, and he would be safe. Whether it is to return to Seris or wait for the new Lord of Ferry City to take office, there will be no problem - this is why he dares to turn his face and act now.
"You!" Berman's heart is not good, the other party has obviously seized the loophole, and he can only give it a go to save his life. So he shouted a word you on one side, and on the other side he had already drawn his long sword.
Berman wasn't slow, but Lawrence was faster. The old sailor's sword, which had been adrift at sea for many years, was unsheathed, like a snake, drawing a strange route.
Berman only felt a sweetness in his throat, and breathing became difficult. He dropped the long sword in his hand, knelt on the ground, and subconsciously covered his neck with both hands, where blood was gushing out, and he couldn't stop it.
He tried to speak, but all he spat out was warm blood. He saw his henchmen being slashed to death by a few sailors in the distance, and he saw that Lawrence had returned his sword to sheath and looked down on him.
He also heard Lawrnes's words, which made him feel a little cold in his body: "Berman, this bastard who bullies men and women, is dead!" Ferry City finally ushered in hope today! ”
He stretched out a bloodied hand to grab Lawrence in front of him, only to find his body falling backwards in disobedience. Then all he could see was the clear blue sky, and the black-gray smoke that hung over the walls of the city.
The desperate eyes of the women he bullied passed in front of his eyes, the screams of the families he had harmed rang in his ears, and the gold, silver and jewels that he had seized were buried at his feet...... The only thing that didn't come to mind was a feeling called remorse.
Chris held the reins of his sword, glanced at the body of Berman, who was already cold, and looked with interest at least the tall man in leather armor standing on his head.
"You killed it?" After a while, Chris asked with a smile.
"You killed!" Pressing the long sword at his waist, Lawrence replied loudly with his head tilted.
Chris nodded: "Okay!" I carried this black cauldron...... I'm Iran Hill Chris. Lord of Seris. ”
Pointing to several broken sailboats behind him, Lawrence reported to himself: "My name is Lawnes, I don't have a surname, and I am the naval commander of Ferry City. ”
Chris looked up at the skewlett sailboats, "Nice to meet you, General Lawrence. ”
Lawrence was also not polite, and opened his mouth to ask: "I'm also very happy to meet you, the strong man who broke Mayne and the ferry in ten days, Lord Chris!" Also, I'd like to ask...... Those fabrics and woodworking products, you really developed them? ”
"That's right, I developed it." Chris had no reason not to admit it, nodded and said, "No way, the taxes are so high, if I don't have a little industry, I don't have a place to collect gold coins to pay taxes." ”
"Lord Chris, can you think of some ways for us to increase the income of our Ferry City?" The next thing Lauendi said made Chris cry and laugh: "If you can, I'll fight for you!" ”
