Following the waves of the Carrion River in front of him, looking at the faintly visible city of Palencia, and the Norman knights chasing after him, Alfonso couldn't help but grit his teeth and say with resentment: "These bastards! ”

"I'm sorry my majesty, please leave first." Beside Alfonso, a Legoth, wearing an earl's crown, stepped forward and bowed slightly.

"Count Perrod of Vaydolid! You ......" Alfonso was about to reprimand him loudly, but he ignored him, squinted at himself with disdain, and rode away with his knight and armor.

The departure of Perrod, Count of Vaydolid, seems to have completely detonated the long-standing contradictions, and the counts and nobles followed the example of Perrod, Count of Vaidolid, and all left with their knights and other troops.

The counts of the Kingdom of León were originally very independent princes, and Alfonso had just ascended the throne, his prestige was insufficient, and he suffered successive defeats, and was suspected of being the murderer of his father Ferdinand I and the king of Aragon, so at such a critical juncture, King Alfonso became the object of the nobles' abandonment.

Within a moment, most of Alfonso's remaining seven or eight thousand troops were gone, and the morale of the army, which had been frantically pursued by the Normans on the way to escape, had now fallen to the bottom, and the only two or three thousand troops he had at his disposal began to falter.

"Shameful rebels, traitors who turn their backs on their masters, ** people who betray morality!"

Alfonso roared and cursed, but to no avail, and the departing counts paid no attention to the desperate king.

However, Alfonso still did not seem to recognize the situation, or did not want to admit that he had betrayed his family, when he saw that his Keeper of the Seal, Alva. Derala and the military governor Vladin. Osorio immediately commanded in a loud voice: "Alva, Vladin, my lovers, you have come just in time, and lead my troops to stop the Normans from their pursuits!" ”

"I am sorry, my majesty, for refusing this unreasonable order." Flatin. Osorio shook his head and said with a regretful expression: "Your Majesty, please also recognize the reality, now that His Majesty Sancho, King of Castile, has been defeated by the Normans, and your army has been scattered, what else can you resist the brutal Normans?" ”

"Are you here to persuade me to bow my head?" Alfonso looked at the two of them in disbelief, and said with a look of horror on his face.

"My Majesty, if you are willing to give up the crown of Leon and surrender to the great Majesty William, you may be able to obtain His Majesty's forgiveness and preserve your life, liberty, territory, and wealth." Alva. Drala also spoke to persuade her.

"Don't think! I will never bow to William. Alfonso's face flushed with anger and he waved his hand hatefully.

For his brother-in-law William, Alfonso has always had a jealous psychology, he thinks that his ability is not worse than William, why William can achieve such an enviable achievement, and he himself can only be reduced to a lost dog, obviously he gave up a lot in order to achieve hegemony, and secretly did a lot.......

"Hugh wants to mention it again, if you want me to bow my head to William, that's wishful thinking!" Alfonso said stubbornly in the face of repeated persuasion from the two.

"Your Majesty, since you are unwilling, we have no choice but to use strong means to make you submit, this is the common will of the nobles." Tall and strong Fladin. Osorio grabbed Alfonso's arm and said with a dark face.

"Traitor! Traitor! Apostate! Alfonso struggled, but no matter how he cursed and rolled, the nobles still stood by and even gathered around and stretched out their hands to grab Alfonso's limbs.

"Let's go to meet His Majesty the Great Wilhelm, he is our greeting gift." Flatin. Osorio grabbed Alfonso by the back of the neck with one hand, lifted him gently, and smiled at everyone.

"Our King Alfonso is on the must-kill list of His Majesty William, is it appropriate for us to do so?" One of the nobles asked.

"Whether or not our King Alfonso is a vile and cunning, scheming regicide and a murderer of relatives must be judged by His Majesty the great William himself, and all we can do is to bring the suspects and incriminating evidence to His Majesty." The head of the seal shook his head slightly, and chuckled.

This time the group of nobles defected, in fact, it was Fladin. Osorio and Alva. Drala is just two of them, and the rest of the others are just following the two of them involuntarily because of the herd mentality.

As the military governor, Vladin came from the noble family of Osorio, he was a major minister left by Ferdinand I, and the younger brother of Diego, Count of Audovier. Delara forced Alfonso to the palace out of consideration for the protection of the family territory.

And Alva. Drala's origins are more noble than that of Fradin, his ancestors were dukes of Castile, and the territories of the Kingdom of Choice, including Burgos, Soria, Santilana, Biscay, and Vailid, were once the domains of the Drala family.

The Derala family was once associated with the former king Alfonso. Morality. Leon married, and he was a relative of the royal family, but by now, the Drala family had long been in decay, and the family territory was only the territory of the Santilana Earl.

Even if this only remaining territory can be kept now, it is still unknown whether it can be kept, after all, if a son of heaven and a courtier, if he cannot achieve the merits recognized by William, it is basically a matter of time before he is robbed of his title and territory.

Of course, Alva did not do this only for his family, but also for himself, and compared with Alfonso, who followed the end of the road, it is obviously more promising to join William.

To be honest, it is no wonder that the nobles of Fladin, Alva and León rebelled, in fact, Alfonso knew everything he had done in recent years, and even the main players in it, whether it was the death of Ferdinand I, the assassination of Sancho of Castile and the king of Aragon, these actions made them have no good feelings and loyalty to their own king.

After all, is there a nobleman in the lockdown who is willing to work for a scheming, sinister and cunning beast?

After the nobles voted, Alva and Vladin were elected as their representatives, and King Alfonso was escorted to Count Roger, who was leading the Norman knights not far away.
