Chapter 157, the fisherman profits
Inside the palace where the blood flowed.
Nick August, who had exhausted all his extraordinary strength and all his strength to deal with the Crystal Dragon, was protected by Henrithe Bourbon and the old Duke Gendry Bourbon, and watched the fight between the enemy and the enemy with cold eyes.
For those nobles who died, Nick August didn't even look at it.
Acting very cold-blooded!
Because those dead people are no longer of any use, and they are not worth his distraction.
Now Nick August has only the throne in his heart.
No matter how many people die for this, they won't care!
However.
The enthronement ceremony was only one step away, but the crowned crystal dragon was lost, and Pete August, who could not officially claim the title of emperor, was saddened by the nobles who died in battle.
Either way, they're all part of the Augustian Empire!
Before the empire completes the song change.
An important foundation and pillar to maintain the strength of the empire!
Of course, he knew very well that the lust for profit that had thrown himself into his brother had to be purged, but the many transcendents who were loyal to him.
It shouldn't fall in this senseless infighting!
"Gendry Bourbon, after His Royal Highness Pitt ascends the throne, will revoke the decree to recover the rights and fiefs of the minor nobles in the south, and return the fiefs taken by the previous emperor. As the Prime Minister and Minister of Military Affairs, Bruce Medici was not protected by everyone, but attacked the old duke in the south with a sword, and asked: "Why do you still collude with the second prince to kill the monarch and rebel?"
As the guardian duke of the South, the old Gendry Bourbon is not weak, and like Bruce Medici, he has silver-level strength.
Hold off the attack of the Grand Duke and Prime Minister of the East.
He snorted coldly: "Because it is better for His Royal Highness Nick to ascend the throne as the emperor!"
Hearing this, Bruce Medici couldn't help but sneer: "This is better, it's not that he's Mingjun, but it's better to control, right?"
To this, old Gendry Bourbon did not answer, but swung his sword harder.
"Father!"
Seeing that his father was being bullied, Henriet Bourbon, as a son, immediately rushed over, but was stopped by Angus, the eldest son of Bruce Medici.
"Your opponent is me!"
"Angus?" Henry was furious: "Since you want to die, I will kill you!"
Who wouldn't be ruthless?
Angus scoffed at this: "I'm right here!"
"Kind of kill me!"
"Die!"
Henriet shouted and swung his sword and attacked, like a berserker who relied on roaring, but he couldn't help Angus Medici, who was experienced in combat, and was beaten back to the powerless Nick August.
"Don't let him come!" Seeing this, Nick quickly regained a little strength and shouted, "Royal Knight, kill Angus Medici first!"
As the prime minister of the empire, Bruce Medici was also the Grand Duke of the East, and also served as the marshal of the counterinsurgency and crusade armies, and was protected by many powerful men.
The same goes for Crown Prince Pete August.
But Angus Medici was only the eldest son of the Medici family.
After Nick's observation and analysis.
Decided to deal with him first!
Sure enough, hearing that Nick August was going to kill his eldest son, Bruce Medici immediately ordered Roderick Fox beside him to go over to protect him.
In the midst of the scuffle, everyone suddenly heard the alarm bell coming from the west of the city to be attacked.
Pete Auguste and Bruce Medici's faces changed dramatically.
If it was Reinaldo Reyes, he could identify himself directly to the officers defending the city, and then rush to the palace with his soldiers and horses to eliminate the rebellion.
Now alarm bells are ringing.
Comer.
It must be the enemy!
Old Gendry Bourbon suddenly laughed: "Bruce, you're going to lose, because it's Steven Caseley!"
"Southwest Commander?" Bruston's face changed when he heard this.
Gendry Bourbon Sr. has already seen the dawn of victory: "Lay down your arms and surrender, obediently give up the positions of Imperial Prime Minister and Military Minister, and then pack up your things and go back to your eastern borders to do business!"
Steven Cassdeley's territory is at the southwestern tip of the West, not bordering the Central.
It is farther away from the Imperial Capital than Reinado's territory.
He could have arrived now, indicating that the Bourbons had rebelled earlier, and that Steven Cassdeley had been contacted at least a month ago!
But Bruce Medici was unfazed: "Reinaldo Reyes is here too." ”
"His territory is closer. ”
"You should have inquired about the news and know that he has a 100% chance of breaking through to the master level. ”
"The winner is still undecided!"
"Definitely. Gendry Bourbon Sr. had to admit that he was a big threat: "Reinaldo Reyes is strong. ”
"But you can't wait for him!"
"Just you?" Bruce Medici dismissed: "With that Steven Cassdeley?"
We all know the water of his exploits. ”
"The mountain people are indeed inferior to the steppe barbarians. Old Gendry couldn't deny it, but he was still stubborn: "But he'll be coming soon!"
"Do you want to run now?"
"It's late!"
Knowing that reinforcements were coming, the knights, janissaries, and nobles on Nick August's side entangled Pete Auguste and Bruce Medici to the death, and no longer wanted to capture and kill them alive.
Because the reinforcements are coming, they will surely win the final victory!
Martin Burns, his younger brothers Marvin and Mark, and brother-in-law McCray Stone, among others, understood that the situation was critical.
Decisively burst out with all his strength, and attacked the enemy's knights and janissaries despite their injuries.
They have all fought in counterinsurgency and crusades.
Although Marven, Mark, and McRae's combat exploits are not as good as those of the Burns family, Martin Burns is very good to them, and after going to the Alternate Plane, he also teaches everyone the fighting spirit.
Marvin Burns, Mark Burns and McCray Stone all have good talents.
The vindictive spirit has been mastered!
The four of them broke out together, and with the tacit cooperation between each other, they killed more than a dozen silver-rank knights, janissaries and nobles one after another.
Successfully fought for Pete August, Bruce Medici and others.
"Let's go!"
I fought alongside Martin.
Seeing that the four of them had made a retreat, Bruce Medici did not hesitate to force the old Gendry Bourbon away, and then took the crown prince to beckon everyone to retreat.
Old Gendry Bourbon was in a hurry, he didn't expect them to get the opportunity to retreat so easily.
"Don't let them run!"
for everyone was in confusion in the hall.
The soldiers that Bruce Medici had placed in the palace did not have bows and crossbows, and now the crown prince ran out of the main hall, not afraid of accidental injury, and immediately gave the order.
"The crossbowmen will release arrows to cover us, and all the transcendents will be broken!"
"Rush out of the palace!"
Pete didn't agree to retreat: "No, let's run to the secondary fort behind the main hall of the palace!"
At the center of the palace was a five-story castle dedicated to court meetings and ministers' offices, and at the rear was the auxiliary fort, which belonged to the emperor's dormitory, flanked by a guard and defensive tower.
Now that Nick August has led his men into the main castle of the palace, the fort and the towers must have been controlled by the enemy.
But they left more than a hundred soldiers in the sub-fort where they had stayed last night.
There were more than a hundred people, enough to hold the castle.
So.
They were soon picked up by the soldiers of the Vice-Fort, and completely escaped the pursuit of old Gendry Bourbon, Henriet Bourbon, and others.
Nick, who had not recovered his strength, could only scold angrily when he saw this.
Curse the Bourbon family and the many royal knights, royal guards, and nobles who throw themselves at him.
No mercy!
"Pedal Pedal ~"
The sound of horses' hooves was heard, and Reinaldo Reyes, armed with a halberd, rode a black horse and rushed like a dragon to break through the palace walls.
Let Steven Cassley lead his troops into the palace.
The royal knights, royal guards, and noble private soldiers who tried to stop them were all killed.
The Royal Knights and Royal Janissaries are strong.
But Reinaldo Reyes, armed with a halberd, is like a killing god!
They simply can't stop it!
"It seems that we are not the ones who are going to lose. ”
On the female wall of the sub-fort, seeing Reinaldo Reyes, who wielded a halberd and kept killing enemies, like an invincible man, Bruce Medici suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and sneered at the southern grand duke and the second prince who chased to the gate of the vice-fort.
"Gendry Bourbon, are you ready for flesh pain?"
"The Bourbons will lose the title of Guardian Duke and the right to rule the South!"
Seeing Reinaldo Reyes, who was riding a dark horse like a killing god, and not seeing Steven Cassdeley, the Grand Duke of the Southern Realm, fell into an ice cellar in an instant.
"Take me away!"
At this time, the situation suddenly reversed, and Nick August hurriedly dragged old Gendry and shouted: "Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood!"
I have heard of Reinado's strength, and I don't have a transcendent person at the peak of gold on my side.
Old Gendry shook his head with a wry smile when he heard this: "Your Highness Nick, please be sober, where else can we escape?"
"Henrytte, you go back with the teleportation scroll. ”
"What?" Nick August was furious, "You have a teleportation scroll, why don't you give it to me?"
Old Gendry sighed: "Even if we can escape, it will only be to bring the war to the south." ”
"What's in it for me?"
"You!"
Nick August, who heard this, was furious, but he was helpless about it.
After all, it was a usurpation and rebellion......
How could Big Brother Pete let himself go as a traitor?
"Reinaldo Reyes?"
Pushing away the southern guards who were supporting him and losing the support of the south, the second prince Nick August no longer had any bargaining chips, and was destined to be a dead end, but for the sake of the throne.
He doesn't regret it!
Even if you lose.
You can't lose the royal bearing!
Compared to the execution of the big brother who died with great feelings.
He prefers to die at the hands of others.
Thinking about defeat before winning, Nick August has long thought about what will happen if the palace usurper fails, and he never thought that he could live.
More reluctant to live in humiliation.
So.
"I'm Nick Auguste, Reinaldo Reyes, do you dare to kill me?!"
Reinado Reyes, who was riding a black horse and killing the royal knights and royal guards with a halberd in his hand, was stunned when he heard this, and then stopped his horse and pressed the surrounding enemies with the power of the golden peak.
"You are His Royal Highness the Second Prince?"
"That's right, it's me. ”
Nick August strode out as if he were dead.
"Pedal Pedal ~"
There was a rush of footsteps, and Steven Kesdeley rode with his soldiers to the side of the sub-fort.
See the banner of the Castellan family.
Old Gendry Bourbon, who was already disheartened, immediately radiated.
"Haha, until the last moment, the winner can never be determined!"
"Bruce Medici, I haven't lost yet!"
"No matter how powerful Reinaldo Reyes is, he is only a golden rank, and I have a support army!"
"I've got Steven Cassdeley!"
Steven Cassdeley, who came with the soldiers, smiled when he heard this, and asked loudly: "Grand Duke Bourbon, I have heard your laughter from afar, what is the happy thing, say it and let everyone have fun!"
Old Gendry was basking in the joy of the arrival of reinforcements, and saw nothing wrong.
said: "Bruce Medici thought he had won!"
"But the situation is clearly different now!"
Watch as Steven Kesdeley formed a battle formation, swords, shields, spears aimed at the secondary fort, and all the soldiers under the female wall.
Pete August on the female wall of the Vicecastle has noticed that something is wrong.
His face was unusually solemn.
Bruce Medici asked in a deep voice, "Gendry, you are really old, so old that you can't even distinguish between people." ”
"Too old to tell the difference between people?"
Old Gendry snorted disdainfully: "Isn't it Steven Cassdeley who came?"
"What do you think your chances are?"
"You can't shake us with this kind of nonsense!"
"Take Pete August now, I can not deal with the East!"
Bruce Medici shook his head: "You are really old and confused, look at what Steven Cassdeley's soldiers are doing, is it to support you?"
No!
And they will aim their spears at you!"
"Huh?"
After being reminded, the elder Gendry also found that Steven Cassley did not move after bringing the troops, and then his face changed again.
Hurriedly asked, "Steven Cassdeley, what do you mean?"
Steven Cassley didn't answer, just looked at him with a smile on his face, like a clown.
Pete Auguste stares at Reinaldo Reyes on the black horse.
He asked in a deep voice, "Viscount Reyes, are you still loyal to the empire and continue to serve in the royal family?"
Reinaldo Reyes raised his halberd and said, "I am loyal to the Empire. ”
Pete: "So, you're not going to be loyal to me?"
Reinado, who was expressionless, did not answer.
Old Gendry also understood what was going on: "Steven, Reinado, you two have formed an alliance on the way here?"
Steven curled the corners of his mouth.
Bruce Medici couldn't help but ask, "How does it feel like to be an old foolish Gendry, who has worked so hard to make a wedding dress for someone else?"
Isn't it uncomfortable?"
"Teasing me?"
Gendry Sr. admits that he was wrong this time and underestimated Steven Keysdeley's ambitions, but he still thinks he is still the ultimate winner, so he sneered and said, "Bruce, I have sent troops to ambush the troops led by your second son, Giovanni Medici. ”
"It is estimated that the army has collapsed now. ”
"Your brother Capri Medici was also contacted. ”
"He's wanted to be the Grand Duke of the East for a long time!"
"Steven, I'm willing to share the rich East with you, what do you think?"
"Eastern?" Steven sneered: "Are you willing? I'm a Westerner, why should I fight with you for territory with the Grand Duke of the South, am I impatient?"
You've already said this to me once, and now I'll help you say it a second time.
And later......
You'll never get a chance to say that to me again. ”
Old Gendry's face changed drastically: "Steven, what are you going to do?"
Steven smiled and said, "The empire is in civil strife, I'm here to clean up two ambitious people!"
Pete: "I think you're the real ambitious. ”
Hearing the crown prince's words, Steven froze, turned to Reinaldo Reyes and said, "I'm afraid His Royal Highness Pete August won't like us.
What do you think of His Highness Nick August?"
Reinado glanced at Nick August in front of him, hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "His Royal Highness the Second Prince looks pretty good. ”
"It's very royal. ”
Steven looked at the second prince, Nick August, and asked with a smile, "Is His Highness Nick willing to accept our allegiance?"
We will do everything we can to assist Your Majesty!"
Hear this Your Majesty.
Nick reacted immediately, knowing that he was in a desperate situation, and regained the hope of ascending the throne and becoming emperor!
Immediately excited, he nodded his head like a chicken cub pecking rice.
"Good. Steven drew his sword and held it high: "Now is the time to clean up the traitors in the DPRK and China!"
Knowing that Steven was going to do something to them, old Gendry hurriedly shouted at his eldest son.
"Henritt, run!"
Bruce Medici immediately pulled Pete August and rushed to the vice-fort: "Your Highness, let's leave through the secret passage!"
"Kill!"
...... To be continued......
