Chapter 32: The Duke's End

There was no moon tonight, and in the meager starlight, I could faintly see a dark team wriggling on the ground. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

"Commander, won't we have a problem doing this?"

"Questions? What's the problem? ”

"That is to say, taking advantage of the night to raid a well-guarded castle or something, no matter what, it's too unreliable."

Hearing this, Chauncey finally turned around.

Although it makes no difference whether he goes back or not, the night is thick, and the people behind can only vaguely see the figures of his predecessors.

"Well-guarded? This is called being well guarded?! Lao Tzu will tell you that there are not many people who even patrol this castle at night, if the city wall is not too high, Lao Tzu can knock it down empty-handed! ”

This big talk is blowing......

No. 1 and No. 2, who were standing behind Chaunse, couldn't help but complain silently in their hearts, but they also knew that Chauncy was telling the truth.

It is a fact that the defense of Nantesburg is extremely empty.

As long as you look at the number of people patrolling every night, you can see that the enemy is pressing, and there are only a dozen people on duty on the city wall, this is not a forced to give away the castle!

But the Caven Knight can't help it.

He had a total of 100 conscripted peasant soldiers, plus the ineffective servants he brought in temporarily, and even if they were all put on the city wall, it would be a drop in the bucket, let alone divide them into two shifts; To tell the truth, if it weren't for the thick walls of Fort Nantes, and the duke's repeated assurances that reinforcements would arrive soon, he would have persuaded the duke to open the city and surrender.

In this case, even if Lord Alang (1) is resurrected, there is no hope of victory!

"Besides, there are still them in front, what are you afraid of?"

Chan Xi Nunu pouted and gestured forward.

The complaining mercenaries were immediately speechless.

Leading the way in front was Magnus's Praetorian Guard, numbering fifty, which could be said to have drained most of his current belongings, and if it was to send them to death, the first to disbelieve them were these mercenaries.

However, in fact, when the mercenaries complained to Chauncey, Odega, who led the Praetorian Guard, was also complaining.

The object of the complaint is the eunuch.

"This road is difficult, are you reliable or not, does that side door really exist?"

"Don't worry, the villain will never dare to deceive the general, at most a hundred steps will be there."

Although Odegar was only complaining, the eunuch did not dare to slack off at all, and quickly bent over to laugh.

This is the master of the future!

The so-called eunuchs are such a pathetic species, they can't live without relying on others, the Duke of Brittany is down, they can't wait to take refuge in Magnus, if Magnus also declines one day, I'm afraid they will not hesitate to switch to others.

And don't worry about killing.

After all, in Europe, the price of eunuchs in the slave market was a few points more expensive than the average strong laborer, and the presence of eunuchs in the court was also a thing for the nobles to boast of.

Well, boasting is one thing, but whether you can accept it or not is another. And there are the knights of the lords, who look down on eunuchs the most, let alone go out of the same house with them; In order to maintain the loyalty of the knights, the lord can only grieve the eunuchs.

This wooden door is specially prepared for eunuchs.

"During the siege, Lord Caven asked for a stone to plug the gap, but it was us who did the work, so we ......"

"So you're lazy?"

The eunuch smiled awkwardly and didn't dare to answer.

Laziness was one thing, on the other hand, they had already been in contact with Magnus at that time, and since they had plans to surrender, it was necessary to leave an entrance.

However, this is not suitable to say, the original master is still thinking of taking refuge in others, no matter who listens to it, he will not have a good impression, and the eunuch who is good at figuring out people's hearts will naturally not be revealed in front of the new master.

Fortunately, Odegar didn't mind either.

Since His Royal Highness the Prince has made a decision, there must be a reason for him.

As the war went on and the years grew, Magnus was becoming more and more presence-like Harold, and his prestige was growing, and Odegar was almost out of breath in front of him.

Maybe in the near future, even the financial power will be handed over to His Royal Highness the Prince with peace of mind.

-- The premise is that he has to get rid of the fault of the loser.

Odega thought again, His Royal Highness the prince is good at everything, it is this habit of spending money lavishly, if you want to change, you must change!

However, we will have to wait until this war is won.

"General, we're here."

As the eunuch said, it is a wooden door that is completely defenseless and opens when pushed.

"You go in first."

Odegar said, pointing to the eunuch.

Although the possibility of a conspiracy is almost none, he has half of the military power of His Royal Highness the Prince in his hands at the moment, and these things have to be guarded against.

The eunuch didn't hesitate, and he couldn't hesitate in this kind of thing, not to mention that he really didn't do anything superfluous, and with a push of his hand, he walked in directly.

Even so, Odegar did not let his guard down, and waited for a few more minutes to make sure that there was nothing around but the wind and night, and then ordered the soldiers to enter.

- Although I would like to say that there was an ambush here, a group of conscripts standing on the walls with boiling oil, waiting for Odegar to pour it down as soon as they entered, and then set it on fire, listening to the wails of the enemy and celebrating the victory......

But alas, the eunuchs are really not brave people, and the Knight of Calvin is not such a good general that can anticipate the enemy prophet. Therefore, Odega, he went to the Fort of Nantes, which was regarded as impregnable.

To be honest, when he came in, Odegar himself didn't believe it was going so well.

It's like a dream.

"Which direction is the gate of the castle?!"

But now that you're in, it's time to get down to business.

The main thing is to open the gate and let in the army of His Royal Highness the Prince.

Although Odegar's personal idea is that even these people led by himself can kill all the way from outside the castle to inside the castle, His Royal Highness only needs to sleep peacefully, and when he wakes up the next day, he can see the Duke of Brittany kneeling in front of him.

Magnus gave the order again and again to force Odegar to abandon this plan.

Then, then, there is a merciless feast of killing.

The Duke was not the only one who settled in the castle. In the castle, the Duke's family, the Duke's knight's family, and the Duke's servants, the Duke's knight's servants, if you add them all up, it's a lot of money.

Anyway, there are three or four hundred people.

Today, however, these three or four hundred people are going extinct.

"All who are still alive are enemies! Adults, children, men, women, none of them are left! ”

Odegar ordered.

Men are fighting and must be killed; Children grow up with hatred, which is a hidden danger to future rule, and they will be killed; Woman...... This is dispensable, but since she has been killed before, there is no shortage of her.

Typical medieval thinking.

Thus the cries for mercy, the screams, and the wails filled the castle, and the soldiers happily smashed every closed door with their axes, laughed at the men's wails and the women's screams, and finally put an end to all sin with a raging fire.

It's a big bonfire.

The sound of such chaos in the castle naturally reached the ears of the Duke of Brittany.

The Duke's residence was a tower within the castle, which was the last line of defense once the castle was breached.

At that time, the Duke was borrowing wine from the top of the tower.

It's all deceived by Carvin, there are no reinforcements at all, Lefèvre came too quickly, his messenger was already besieged before he could send out the castle, and Fort Nantes had become an isolated city.

All he did was survive.

And now, the time has come.

"Is it finally here......

Muttering to his mouth, the Duke stood up, staggered to the window, looked at the fire outside the window, and remained silent.

Then, he drew a sword from the armor that was placed beside him.

But it's not about fighting.

He went into the next room, where the Duchess was shivering in bed with her young child in her arms.

Seeing the duke come in with a sword, the duchess immediately understood everything.

"No, no......"

The Duchess trembled and stepped back, pleading with her mouth in her arms, still holding her young son tightly in her arms.

The Duke didn't say a word, just approached little by little.

"Please...... At least, at least let Evan escape, he's still young, and those people can't see it! ”

The Duchess continued to plead, and this time, the Duke finally stopped.

"It's useless, there's no hope."

The Duke spoke, his voice dry and dry, not like a living person.

"I'll be with you shortly."

After saying that, the duke handed the sword forward, and the long sword passed through the hearts of the two people at the same time, and the duchess's pleading and unwillingness were all condensed on her face.

Drawing his sword, the Duke flipped the bodies of the two men again, and after confirming that they were both dead, he threw the sword to the ground.

Christianity does not allow suicide, so the Duke doesn't need a sword, and besides, he wants to destroy everything here, and give Magnus nothing left!

He had poured grease on all the money he had accumulated, along with this room and this tower; He was going to burn it, he was going to destroy it, he was going to turn it into a ruin, and then he could laugh at Magnus in the sky: "Look! You get nothing but a ruin! ”

"Gollum-"

The sound of grease pouring.

It was difficult for one person to do this work, and the grease he had prepared was also a little insufficient, and only one of the five full cans of grease remained, and only a third of the tower was covered.

Seeing this, the Duke frowned.

But it's probably enough, you don't need to cover it all when you burn a tower, you just need to keep burning until the bluestone burns cracks, and the whole tower will fall like a broken block.

"Hahaha-"

The Duke laughed maniacally, like a night owl, and if anyone heard it, they would think he was crazy.

In fact, even if he wasn't crazy, he wasn't far off.

"Come on! Magnus! Just let you know who you defeated! What exactly have you conquered! ”

"Gollum-"

The last can of oil, the duke poured directly on himself.

Then, ignite the Mars.

The flames were in the wind, and almost instantly spread to the Duke's whole body, the creaking oil was boiled and jumped, the Duke's face was distorted, and the smell of roasted meat emanated from his body!

Even so, the Duke was still laughing.

Crazy laughter, twisted laughter, laughter scorched by the fire as if scratching glass, the flames shone and rushed and burned everything, only the Duke's laughter never lingered!

From this day on, Brittany has a legend about the evil that spreads fire, the legend of the demon who never listens to the laughter in the flames......
