Chapter 127, Bad News (Ask for Subscription~!!)
Brighten up the future!
The flames at the top of the towering tower are rekindled.
The Hightower family, who represent the protection of the city, is still there!
They ruled the Old Town for many years and their prestige was unmatched.
It was normal for the Hightower family not to react to the sudden attack of the Iron Min, after all, no one was unfazed by the terrifying wave.
But the flames at the top of the towering tower were extinguished.
For those who are concerned about the situation, it means that the Hightower family is in trouble, unable to deal with the chaos or even protect the people.
This will cause even more panic!
And the rekindling of the flame at the top of the tower directly gives everyone hope!
Tell the city's inhabitants that their guardian family will fight off the barbarian invaders and extinguish the raging fires that burn down their homes!
Surrounded by darkness, the old town was lit up with fireworks, illuminating everything red.
In the tower, the soldiers of the Hightower family, as well as Arthur and others, did not find the situation at the top of the tower, and were still worrying about searching for people.
The more floors you go up.
Liana, who had no news of her daughter, turned paler.
At this time, the wounded Gonthor Hightower led the youngest Humphrey Hightower up.
The waves were blowing, and the poor fellow was taking people out, and behind him was a wall, and he hit it headlong, and even his brains came out.
Gonsor also broke his right hand, right foot, and several ribs because of the waves.
The tragic situation of the members of the Hightower family.
Seeing this, Arthur sighed, feeling that the chances of survival of the two weak female streamers, Aishara and Natalie, were even slimmer.
"Your Highness, we have a secret room in the tower, and my father may have taken them to hide in it, please don't worry too much. Seeing the prince's sad face, holding a wooden stick, and being supported by others, Gonthor spoke.
When Liana heard this, she was immediately excited: "Then take us quickly!"
Arthur: "This is the mother of my half-sister Azara. ”
"It's Madame, please come with me. Gonzel immediately led them to the secret chamber inside the Tower.
With a height of 800 feet, it is not surprising that there are secret rooms.
After all, this is a tower, and it is also a castle, and it is normal for a castle to have a secret room.
But the closer he got to the Chamber of Secret, the more nervous Arthur became, and Liana even shook the hand of his niece Guinevia.
"Father, are you in there? Arthur and I have come down, and the eldest brother has succeeded in repelling those iron people. ”
In front of the large bookshelf, Gonsel shouted at the wall.
Soon, he got a response, determined the situation, and old Layton, who was still holding the crossbow on guard, immediately opened the mechanism, and this floor was a third narrower than the next.
The wall next to the bookshelf is hidden with air holes and arrow holes, so you can observe the situation.
Marwyn came out after Old Layton and was greatly relieved to see Arthur intact: "Your Highness, it's great that you're okay. ”
"Azara!"
Liana has seen her daughter!
He was following the madwoman Moroya Hightower, the daughter of the old Ronlayton.
After a few pleasantries with Malwyn and Earl Layton, Arthur also met the aristocratic girl who had followed him to the Old Town from the Imperial Lordship.
"You're hurt?"
The girl walked with a slight limp, and the young man hurriedly asked with concern.
In the secret room, because she was only a minor nobleman, Natalie was not treated well, and Azhara didn't pay much attention to it, and was directly ignored and ignored.
However, with the prince's concern, those unpleasantness disappeared in an instant.
"I'll help you see the injuries. ”
After greeting everyone, Arthur helped Natalie to sit down and examined her leg injury.
"It's fine, I just got hit by a stool. ”
Touching the leg bone, the aristocratic girl suddenly burst into tears in pain, and the young man immediately judged that the bone was broken, but it was not serious.
With modern medical knowledge and a bachelor's degree, it was easy for Natalie to deal with this injury.
But Arthur didn't notice it, and seeing his intimacy with Natalie, Guinevia, who was standing next to Liana and Azhara, was very jealous.
The daughter was intact and was rescued by the prince in time, and when she found her niece's expression, Liana said meaningfully: "Arthur is a good boy." ”
Azhara chuckled, raised her hand to help Guineveria cut her hair, and asked in a low voice, "Sister, do you like him?"
Hearing this, Guinevia nodded hesitantly, not hiding her thoughts.
"Very well, I can teach you how to capture his heart. ”
With the help of Selena, who is often injured and experienced in dealing with injuries, Arthur quickly healed Natalie's leg injury.
"Your Highness, we are preparing to organize a counteroffensive, I wonder if you have any suggestions?"
Old Leighton gathered the members of the family, angrily discussed the result, and found Arthur, who had turned the tide in the towering tower.
Hearing everyone's inquiry, Arthur pondered.
Seeing this, the Master of the Towering Tower said: "Your Highness, Lord Baylor said that there are only more than 100 iron people who have come to attack the Tower, and they have more than 30 warships, but if the main force does not come to occupy this place, they will definitely be plundering in the city.
Your Highness, we need your help. ”
Layton also hurriedly said: "That's right, Your Highness, please help us repel those damned iron people, the Hightower family will be sent by His Highness!"
This sentence represents the Hightower family's surrender to the emperor.
Or rather, they were willing to be Arthur's men!
"How many soldiers do we have now?" but the boy was not much happier, because it also meant a heavy responsibility.
Baylor said bitterly: "There are less than forty people left. ”
Old Leighton: "But we can rally our people to fight." ”
Arthur wanted to be steady, and said in a deep voice: "While gathering men, we must also find the enemy's main force, otherwise we may be caught off guard again when we gather soldiers."
There may be no way to stop the fire for the time being, but you can try to clear the fire path and prevent it from spreading. ”
"We know how to do it. ”
Hearing this, everyone in the Hightower family immediately took action, and Arthur also took his weapon and walked down the tower quickly in the crowd.
The flames drifted in the wind.
The wavering crimson shone on everyone's faces, their faces serious and expressionless, but they reflected the boundless anger that their homes would be destroyed.
The battleships on the rooftops and on the streets, there was no drowning priest still standing on the deck.
The old town is in chaos, except for the crackling of wood burned by the fire.
The inhabitants are also crying much less.
It seems to be gradually returning to the tranquility of the night.
However, this situation will better help the Hightower family gather the scattered soldiers and find the location of the Iron People Pirates.
"I found them, those damn guys are attacking the Starry Sanctuary!"
Listening to the report of the soldiers who were investigating the situation, Arthur glanced at the gathered soldiers and asked Baylor, who was in charge of them, "How many of us are there now?"
Baylor shook his head: "Less than four hundred." ”
The boy frowned: "Accurate number." ”
The head of the Hightower family replied on his behalf: "Your Highness, we have gathered three hundred and eighty-seven people. ”
"All weapons?"
"Yes. ”
"Enough. Arthur said as he walked into the middle of the crowd.
Baylor thought that the prince was going to make a pre-war speech, but he didn't expect him to close his eyes and be silent for a moment, and suddenly his whole body bloomed with a dazzling pale golden light.
"I will provide you with strength, will you follow me to fight off the bandits from the Iron Isles?"
