Section 42 Confrontation Outside the High Walls
Just as everyone was quietly waiting for the king's reply, the door of the dormitory was suddenly slowly opened, and no one spoke, and everything seemed very strange.
Wakas raised his guard, got up and straightened his clothes, and walked briskly through the door of the dormitory.
Soon the voice of Vacas was heard from inside the dormitory: "What are you doing, why are you preventing me from seeing His Majesty the King?" ”
Utores glared at Bill indignantly and said, "Bill, didn't you swear to keep the Prince safe?" ”
After saying that, Utores was the first to draw his sword and rushed into the inner courtyard, Bill hurriedly rushed in, and the two columns of guards outside the inner courtyard drew their swords and confronted each other, and no third person rushed into the inner courtyard.
Utores rushed into the dormitory with his sword raised, and Bill followed in terror with his sword.
In the dormitory, Bill was stunned to see Vacas being pressed to the ground by several guards.
Enraged, Utores rushed over desperately, slashed at the guards, slashed them to the ground, and then walked out the door with Warkas.
At this time, more guards rushed out of the dormitory, and while chasing Varkas and Utores, they called out loudly: "Come on, Vacas has assassinated His Majesty, Vacas has rebelled." ”
Vacas was so angry that he stretched out his hand and pointed at Bill, who came with him, and scolded angrily, "Shameless, you are all shameless people. ”
This sentence was like a hammer, and all kinds of things hit Bill in the face, and he was in a sad mood, but he couldn't explain it.
Utores continued to scold angrily: "Bill, you are also the first place in the Warrior Competition, you represent the honor of our imperial warriors, how can you lie in front of the God of War Shura?" ”
Just when Bill didn't know how to answer, the guard who rushed out from behind him said loudly: "Traitor, you are the prince of my empire, you should respect and love His Majesty, and you dare to take the opportunity to assassinate His Majesty the sleeping King, but I didn't expect you to be such a malicious person, extremely vicious." Say no more quibbles, and suffer death. ”
After saying that, the guards rushed over together, waving their swords and fighting with Utorres.
Bill was confused, he didn't know what was going on inside, and it was difficult to tell who was real and who was fake.
Utores swung his sword and killed several of the attacking guards, and hurriedly escorted Warkas to the door.
After arriving at the gate, under the protection of the guards, Warkas and Utores hurried towards the gate of the palace.
Seeing that they had left in such a hurry, Bill thought that there might be something wrong with Warkas, so he immediately mounted his horse and led the others in pursuit.
When they arrived at the palace gates, they had already been closed by Tony and Morton, who were stationed there, and they lined up to block Warkass's way.
Whakas gritted his teeth in anger, and he angrily pointed at the crowd and said, "Conspiracy, this is a conspiracy. You despicable villains, our empire will be buried in your hands. ”
Seeing Wakas's angry tone and expression, Bill realized that they didn't seem to be pretending, and he couldn't catch right from wrong for a while.
Tony hurriedly asked Bill, "Lord Commander, what the hell is going on?" How do we do that? ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden loud bang at the city gate, and a thick log directly collapsed the city gate, and Anthony led the guards to rush in directly.
It turned out that Anthony heard that there was a movement in the palace city, and he immediately ordered someone to push out the prepared siege engine, and directly used all his strength to hit the city gate to save people.
Because Anthony and the others came too quickly, so that Tony and Morton's team was instantly disrupted, and in the chaos, Anthony covered the withdrawal of Warkas and Utores from the imperial city and returned to the position of the army outside the imperial city.
Bill's duty was to garrison the palace, and seeing that Warkas was so aggressive with the palace, Bill, who was in charge, hurriedly led everyone out of the palace and fought with Rudolph's army stationed outside.
The two sides are in battle in the square in front of the palace, and a battle within the empire is about to be staged.
In the middle of the night, the cold wind howled overhead, and the knights lined up in a neat formation, quietly waiting for the order to attack.
Everyone is the Black Knight of the Empire, and no one wants to attack first, after all, cannibalism no one wants to be like this. That's what Warkas thinks, and Bill is even more worried, and they are both looking forward to a good way to resolve this conflict.
But at this critical moment, Prince Wybat appeared in the company of Vinny, and he immediately fanned the flames and roared at Wakas: "Traitor, what is wrong with my father to you, he is also your own brother, you actually want to assassinate my father while he is asleep, how can there be such a despicable and shameless person as you in the world." ”
At this time, Vacas had completely calmed down, and he completely understood the ins and outs of this conspiracy, so Vacas smiled indifferently: "Right and wrong, it's not that whoever shouts loudly is reasonable." If you have to tear the empire apart, I, Varkas, have nothing to say. With such a big formation in front of the palace today, it seems that it is impossible to deal without a fight. ”
As soon as he heard that Warkas was going to make a move, Waibat's heart immediately fell to the bottom, and he immediately looked at Bill with pleading eyes, and at this time he could only count on Bill.
It is Bill's duty to protect the prince, and when he saw that Varkas was going to settle this dispute by war, Bill rode out of the queue and said loudly to Vacas on the other side: "We are all imperial armies, there is no need to kill each other in front of the palace, everything should be peaceful." ”
Wakas glanced back at Utores and Anthony, and then said with a smile: "If you want to settle this matter peacefully, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to do, this Wybat is bent on seeking the throne of the king, how can he let me go Vakas." Since neither of us is willing to budge, there is really no need to send a large army to fight each other, so it is better to change to a duel, and if anyone loses, please leave Wisha immediately. ”
When he heard that there was going to be a duel, Wybat naturally did not agree very much, because he was determined to win the king's throne, and there was no need to gamble with a prince on his future. However, Vinny did not wait for Whitat to speak, and rode out of the ranks and said, "Duel is dueling, you think we are afraid that your crusade will not succeed." I'm Vinny first, who's going to fight with me. ”
Anthony didn't wait for Warkas to speak, so he directly picked up his gun and rode out of the ranks, and said loudly at Vinny: "You, Vinny, have been stationed in Visal for many years, and your reputation has long been far away from the Yang Continent. I, Anthony, am young and conceited, and I have the courage to compare myself with you, and I ask Captain Vinny to give me advice. ”
After saying that, Anthony slapped the horse's buttocks with his gun, and unceremoniously raised his gun to kill Vinny.
The two brandished their weapons and fought bravely in front of the two armies, which shocked Wybatt on the side, and was afraid that Navenny would be stabbed to death by Anthony.
Anthony's might has already been tested on the battlefield, Vinny, who lives in Visa, naturally lacks some actual combat experience, and he seems a little powerless in front of Anthony, and he is shot off the horse's back by Anthony's spear without paying attention, and he is so frightened that he flees back to Bill's team.
Angry, Tony came out with a gun, pointed at Anthony and scolded: "Okay, you traitor Anthony, you are indeed good at this skill, and you are worthy of being the vanguard of the Crusade Army." Let my Tony teach you your spear. ”
After saying that, Tony raised his gun to attack, and in an instant he and Anthony fought fiercely, and the two fought inseparably, and after dozens of moves, they still didn't know the winner.
Tony finished fourth in the new Warriors tournament, but his prowess in the duel with Anthony really scared Warkas and Utorres.
Utores couldn't help but say to Vacas: "I have long heard that this Warrior Competition is full of masters, but I didn't expect this fourth place to be so powerful, and this duel is only afraid that it will be very unfavorable for us." ”
Varkas frowned and asked, "What?" Even you Utores don't have confidence? ”
Utores pondered, "Well, that's only fourth, and I don't know how good Bill is that champion." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Anthony suddenly exerted his strength, picked the spear in Tony's hand away with a shot, and then stabbed Tony with a fierce shot. Tony reacted quickly and drew the long sword at his waist to block, so that Anthony couldn't find any chance to make a move.
At this time, Morton, who was standing next to Bell, roared angrily: "Tony, come down, let me Morton come." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the rough Morton immediately rode his horse and galloped out of the column, and a spear flashed with cold light, and stabbed at Anthony with a snort.
Tony rode back with his sword in his hand, standing beside Bill and watching the duel.
Bill turned his head to Tony and said: "It seems that this Anthony is really not a weak hand, and if we continue to fight like this, our manpower will soon bottom out, and their Utores has not yet made a move, but I am afraid that this person will be more difficult to deal with." ”
Tony wiped the sweat from his forehead, nodded and replied, "Well, this Anthony really has some ability, no wonder he can sweep the battlefield of Knight." Ouch, I'll have to practice more in the future, and I still can't learn this skill at home. ”
Torches lit up the entire square, and countless people came to watch the confrontation, not knowing what was really going on in the Empire, and everyone had a look of horror on their faces.
The duel between Anthony and Morton continued, the two spears flickering in the firelight, and the duel continued endlessly.
An hour passed quickly, and the duel had been fought for more than a hundred rounds, and the two were sweating, but they still had no victory, and both sides seemed to have some reservations and restraints, obviously both of them were a generation of spear masters with extraordinary realms.
Morton, the young warrior known as the Butcher of the Desert, whose arm strength seemed to be endless, did not show the slightest weakness in front of the mighty Anthony. In each round of attack, he and Anthony faced it head-on, without backing down, and the duel went on at this point, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.
Time is like a freeze frame, and the time for this duel drags on indefinitely. Varkas knew very well that since they had met such a powerful rookie of the Empire, the longer the delay became more and more disadvantageous for them, because Wisha had clearly become Waibat's territory. And the people will definitely favor their own prince, rather than trust their own powerful imperial prince. After all, Whubat is the legitimate heir to the throne of the Tupis Empire, and his own prince is nothing more than a courtier of the empire. When a courtier has a dispute with a prince of the empire, everyone thinks that the courtier is rebelling.
While Anthony and Morton were continuing this duel, Warkas secretly gave an order to appoint a chief of guard to report to the Prince's Mansion and prepare for his retreat. The chief of the guard hurried to the Prince's Mansion and conveyed Wakas's order to Kevin, who was stationed at the Prince's Palace.
Twenty-two years old and born in the town of Marton in the northeastern part of the empire, Kevin is a young hero of the Marton tribe. During the four years of Wakkas's expedition to Knight, Kevin was in charge of the garrison of the Prince's Palace, leading a Knights Left Behind in the Prince's Palace. Varkas's trust in Kevin is second only to Utores, and Kevin's loyalty to Vacas is no less than that of Utores, so Varkas is very relieved to let him stay in the prince's palace.
After receiving the Prince's retreat, Kevin began to act as planned, he commanded the Knights to carry all the belongings of the Prince's Mansion into the carriage, and then led the Knights to drive the carriage to the West City Gate, where Kevin met the new Imperial Commander Buz stationed here.
Booz, the tenth place in this new Warriors tournament, only resisted a dozen moves under Kevin's attack, and was picked off the horse by Kevin with a shot.
Just when Buz was holding down the gunshot wound on his body, Kevin led the Knights of the Prince's Mansion to launch an attack to seize the city gate, the city gate was not attacked from the inside, there was no defensive barrier at all, and soon the city gate fell, and Kevin's team quickly broke out of the city.
Buzz had no choice but to regroup his team and continue to garrison the West Gate, and did not lead the troops to chase Kevin, after all, he still had a gunshot wound on his body.
After leaving Visa, Kevin divided the Order into two groups, one of the guards went directly to the town of Marton on the west side, and he took the other team of guards to escort the convoy to the Visasa River on the east side. These plans were all made before Vacas rushed to the palace, and if they were in an unfavorable situation, Kevin was responsible for removing the items from the prince's palace. The Marton region was the domain of Prince Warkass, and this evacuation of Warkas even took into account the people and livestock in his own territory.
Because Vacas knew that if he couldn't stabilize the situation in the empire this time, he could only leave the empire with everything he had, and he might never have a chance to come back in the future, so he had to take everything he could take with him, so that he could live in the Nete territory with his own strength in the future.
