Chapter 27: Suicide
"Maybe it's better for us to die here!" Nexus and Gaia's minds thought so at the same time, and they couldn't help but close their eyes as they looked at the tip of their brother's spear, which was high above. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
And in an instant, Nika's cloudy and blind eyes over there also shed tears like a dry well, and he wanted to stop it, but the brothers of the family had already had a life-and-death rift because of the faction and interests.
The dull sound of the sword slashing at the armor and flesh came, Ace screamed, half of his arm was cut off by the long sword cut off from the porch, the bloody stump fell to the ground, and the spear also fell, Ace covered the severed arm that was constantly bleeding, cursed and leaned against the wall, at this time the flames that burned the wood in the wall, and set his back on fire with armor and flesh - Ace, who was entangled in flames, turned his hair into ashes, his face was hateful, and he trembled violently.
Walter, the poor old knight and also the commander of the mounted cavalry, stepped forward, holding the sword that had just severed Ace's arm, blocking Gaia and Nexus, who would have died on the spot if he hadn't arrived in time to stab them.
Before the two brothers could say anything, Ace over there was almost turning into a burning man, but he still howled and drew his sword, not knowing what he was cursing in his mouth, and threw himself at the three people who were sitting or standing-Nexus struggled to grab the short spear on the ground and was about to throw it at it, but Walter turned and kicked him away, "You must not shoulder the sin of killing blood relatives!" The old knight shouted so violently, and at the same time he made a sword horizontally, slashed Ace, walked out of the bull step, and then held the hilt of the sword with both hands, stepped forward quickly, and stabbed Ace's wide open abdomen, and pressed him against the wall of flames, the blade of the sword with quenching, fluttering through the past, straight through the other side of the wall, Ace's body finally twitched violently, and then hung down his burned head, and strands of blood fell from the corners of his mouth and nostrils, and he died.
The result was another slash - the three of them saw that Nika had turned his hands upside down, stabbed the dagger into his throat, and then fell to the ground in pain, and took advantage of the weight of his body to completely pass the blade through his neck, and then ended his life......
About a minute later, a red-handed crosssword banner was erected on the central tower, blackened by the flames, to signify the complete fall of the city of Alarmán: under the command of the exhausted Giovanni and Gregor, the soldiers began to draw water in shifts to extinguish the fire in the tower.
However, Gawain the victor, after explaining his terrible ambitions to the little sunfish, did not enter the city himself, but only set up a tent representing the authority of the Grand Duke outside the city, and specially instructed the heraldic officer Anderodat to deal with the distribution of the spoils of the ordinary soldiers and the aftermath of the castle, and then commanded all the red hand cavalry and mounted cavalry, as well as Giovanni, Wright and other staff, and returned to Seleucian City before nightfall.
In Seleucia, which was intoxicated by the atmosphere of victory, before the night banquet of the generals and the brotherhood, Agnes quietly found the very happy Anna first, chewed the root of her tongue, and of course in her eyes was a kind and loyal reminder and warning, "Although the armored cavalry made great achievements in attacking the city this time, they also poked a lot of baskets, which made the big brown bear very annoyed. ”
Anna's face also changed a little, she couldn't help but think of the previous Cappadocia change of banner incident, she was angry for a while, through the establishment of the Guardian Brigade, cut Gawain's military power, although she is now like glue with the other party, but this matter is somewhat estranged in the hearts of both sides (at least Anna herself thinks so), and Anna also understands that although Gawain talks little, but obviously hates her for meddling in military affairs, and now among the three brigades, Gawain is still the most affectionate to the Guardian Brigade, It is not difficult to imagine his attitude towards the mounted cavalry regiment.
So the princess in purple walked into a secret room on the side of the palace, and after asking her best friend and lover in detail, she knew that the Ducasse brothers, as prison officers, charged without authorization, ruining the order of the entire cavalry regiment, and then let Walter and Gotti abandon the team and rush into the central tower to respond, causing the whole team to lose restraint and behave indiscriminately. Although he cut off the heads of the rest of the Callegos family and made great achievements, it made Gawain furious.
"I can't let Gawain get angry with me or even lose his love because of this." The princess leaned against the wall and whispered to the little sunfish.
Agnes understood, "Then you mean, sacrificing the Ducasse brothers......"
"There's nothing wrong with that, anyway, your idea is to drain the blood of the entire Callegos family." Anna muttered to the little sunfish.
After the decision was settled, the two of them walked through the hallway, and in a cheer, walked to the curtain of the banquet hall and sat down, while Gawain was in front of them, receiving the toasts and congratulations.
"Is all the loot properly distributed?" Although she had not yet drunk, Anna looked rosy and interested, and asked loudly through the curtain, as if to Gawain and to everyone present.
"I'm afraid this can't be solved today, because there are so many loot! Ander Odat is slowly dealing with it over there! Staulachos, the bartender, replied triumphantly, and the crowd burst into laughter, and the various utensils were pounded together like a pirate's party.
"Additional loot, ask Winmoha and Andreev's fleet to be loaded and sent to the warehouses in Seleucia." After hanging the curtain, Anna heard Gawain say this sentence without saltiness, and suddenly felt that he was probably angry, because the previous request of "I want to let the mounted cavalry enjoy the glory of being the first to attack Alamanburg" was made by Anna to Gawain from the bed.
But now, after hearing that the Dukas's brothers had disobeyed the military order, Anna couldn't help but be concerned by Gawain's every move, like a small heart and a drum, and soon she saw Gawain begin to whisper to Giovanni.
Then the military judge bowed down and took the Grand Duke's scepter, and walked to the center of the banquet, and immediately all the scene fell silent, and Anna nervously wrapped her little finger around the lacing, "Who was the first warrior to plant the battle flag on the enemy's fortress?" ”
Several of the meritorious soldiers of the Gemagith Brigade, as well as many of the officers who witnessed it, shouted the corroborative words, "We swear by the Red Hand Regiment, that we are the mounted cavalry Sigmar." ”
"Then let Sigmar enjoy the glory he deserves." "But he couldn't attend because he was shot in the back." ”
As soon as this remark came out, many people at the banquet were in an uproar, because the regulations on the amendment of the military code stipulate that if any soldier is shot in the back on the battlefield, it often means that he has escaped.
At this time, the Grand Duke suddenly stood up, and the little sunfish clearly saw that Anna on the seat behind the curtain was shaking nervously, only to hear Gawain say in a deep and majestic voice, "Then even if Sigma is on the stretcher, it must be sent in and inspected in person!"
