Chapter 300: Before the Decisive Battle (I)

"You've really decided?" Dr. Fabre looked at Constance Dante with a complicated expression, and although he had made his last efforts, Constance Dante still rejected his offer. "There is no hope for this city, and maybe leaving is the right choice."www.biquge.info It was not for nothing that he said this, because in the current situation, the city was completely like a candle in the wind, and even the paradoxical existence of Constance Dante was the knight king could not change the truth at all!

After a mental struggle, Dr. Fabre decided to accept Bashiles' invitation to leave. After all, he didn't want to die here in vain.

But he didn't want Dante to die here, and in his opinion, Dante's behavior was no different from suicide!

"You know that! Those nobles were already ready, as long as the city was lost, they could leave here at any time without even blinking an eye at the life or death of the people here! Are you willing to let other innocent people be buried with you? ”

But Constance Dante shook his head and said, "I used to fight for the nobility, just a war machine. And on that day, the day of the fall of Constantinople, I was supposed to fight for the people, but I fled like a coward. I don't want to go through this again. Thank you for your kindness. This time I'm going to put an end to that! End my past sins. As for Ekarina, she and I will naturally have arrangements. So, thank you for your kindness, doctor. ”

In the first battle of Constantinople, because of his hesitation, many people died in vain, and he was no longer willing to taste the pain and guilt.

Naturally, Constance Dante knew that the war was his own, but he also did not want unrelated people to be affected. Especially the Ross guards who volunteered to follow, and Ekarina, who was swept in.

"......" Dr. Fabre was silent for a moment, and finally said, "In that case, then I will not force it anymore." With that, Dr. Fabre picked up his luggage from the ground and walked onto the sailing ship docked by the harbor.

It stands to reason that there should have been no ships anchored in the port of Trebizond at this time, especially after the invasion of the Seljuks at sea, and the guards here should have been very tight, but the soldiers of Trebizond on the shore turned a blind eye to this, and allowed Dr. Fabre to get on board and leave.

"Who do you think is on that ship?" One of the soldiers looked at his companion and asked, "It was a surprise to them to let the ship come to the harbor, and it was time for full martial law."

"What do you care about so much, anyway, it's an order from Her Royal Highness, what are you afraid of?" The partner around me is speechless, shouldn't it be as if nothing happened at this time? Anyway, I'm afraid the councillors are all in the Council of Elders now, and they don't know what's going on! Since it's a matter of big shots, it's better for them to leave it alone.

Walking to the deck of the galleon, Dr. Fabre looked at Constance Dante, and although he hesitated, he finally waved his hand to Cons. Dante and said, "Goodbye, Knight King." ”

And Constance Dante nodded and beckoned goodbye, "Goodbye, doctor." ”

"Uhh

Under the watchful eye of Constance Dante, the sailboat slowly sailed out of the harbor. At this time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps behind him, as if someone was running over, very anxious.

None other than Ekarina!

As for Dr. Fabre's departure, Ekarina also just learned about it. For this young girl, after many years of getting along, Dr. Fabre was actually her own teacher.

But by this time it was too late, the ship had already sailed away, and by the time Ekarina reached the dock, she could only see Dr. Fabre in the distance as a small black dot, and could only vaguely see the other man waving to them on the boat.

"Brother Cons, why didn't you tell me all the time?" Ekarina had apparently run a long distance, was out of breath all the time, and seemed to be very tired. There was a faint reproach in her voice, but more of a deep regret.

Glancing at Ekarina beside her, Constance Dante said softly: "I'm sorry, but I've been thinking about this matter for a long time, but Dr. Fabre's departure is a secret, and the fewer people know about it before that, the better, and naturally I don't mean to distrust you in the slightest." ”

“…… But Brother Constance, Dante, do you really want to stay here? Ekarina was silent for a moment and asked, she was also aware of the danger of Trebizond, and Dr. Fabre had told her before, and had also revealed that he wanted to take her out of here, but Ekarina did not realize it at that time, so she directly refused. Because of Constance Dante, even though it was very dangerous, the girl decided to stay with her, because if Constance Dante drove those iron golems like this, the consequences would be unimaginable, and Ekarina did not want to see such a thing happen at all. Even if she did her part, Ekarina wanted to help Consida.

However, Consdante only had a kind smile on his face, and of course he knew that Ekarina was worried about himself in this way, but he had already sworn that he would never run away like a coward again.

He pulled his hand out of his pocket and placed it on Ekarina's head, and although the difference in height between the two was not too big and seemed a little funny, Consit's words were still gentle.

"Don't worry, don't you have any confidence in me?"

"But—" Ekarina was about to speak, but was interrupted by Constance Dante.

"Ekarina, sometimes there are things that you really have to risk your life to accomplish even if you are afraid to die. Otherwise, it will be very painful to regret it when the time comes. I've made a mistake once, and this time I hope to make up for it. Hope you understand. Constance Dante said quietly, his voice suddenly muffled.

……

At this moment, in the Council of Elders, the councillors were still hotly arguing about whether Admiral Simon had committed treason on the battlefield.

"What the hell do you want to say, Andopresie?" Admiral Simon met him with a cold gaze.

"Oh, is it? Could Admiral Simon please explain why you abandoned Young Belhiss and Miss Vivien on the battlefield and killed them? Andopolis suddenly opened his mouth and asked again, "As long as you explain clearly, your charges will no longer be established." ”

Attempted murder of Lady Berchis and Miss Vivian!

After Andopouli was convicted, the other councillors looked at each other, this one was the heir of the Duke of Antioch, the eldest son of Bohemond, and the other was the only relative of General Merides, and they actually "died"?!

What kind of joke is this?! This kind of bad effect is difficult to predict, and even the eyes of Narcisse when he looked at Admiral Simon changed a lot. Maybe the influence of the Duke of Antioch is not great, after all, the once powerful country has completely lost its former prosperity after the earthquake, but it is the traditional ally of Trebizond after all, and Vivian's identity is more important, and now Trebizon has always hoped to get the mecha technology in the hands of Merides to expand his strength, if they finally led to his death in battle, the loss will be great! Obviously, at this time, Trebizond very much wanted the help of his allies, but now this kind of thing is simply terrible!

"Wait, Secretary Andopolis, are you a little extreme? Perhaps Simon did not do this properly, but it may be far-fetched to use it as evidence of his treason. Although Narciss's eyes had changed a lot when he looked at Admiral Simon, he still tried to defend him, after all, Simon was King Angelos's confidant and would never betray the kingdom.

It's just that Andopulis waved his hand, "No, no, Narsis, this is not groundless speculation. According to Admiral Simon, it is not your own decision to let Miss Vivien and Young Lady Berchis break off, but our order. This is what your subordinates said, can you explain this? ”

"Our orders?!" For a while, the audience was in an uproar, and the shocked parliamentarians all looked sideways. "What a joke." The Council of Elders had never given such a ridiculous order, much to the indignation of the nobles.

At this time, Admiral Simon, who was below, seemed indifferent, looking up at each other quietly.

"Since you said so, I have nothing to say...... "The general smiled sarcastically. I plead guilty. ”

To Narciss's surprise, this time Admiral Simon did not have any intention of defending himself, and took the initiative to stretch out his hands.

"What are you doing here?" Narcissus looked at Admiral Simon, who was completely unprepared to defend himself, with a look of incredulity. He was very depressed, and he wanted to defend him in his last stand, but now, it seemed completely unnecessary, because Admiral Simon was already resigned to fate.

"Do you have any other objections?" At this time, Andopoulis looked at the various faces of the councillors in the room and asked, with shock, suspicion and anger, but apparently no one would think that Admiral Simon was innocent anymore.

"Very good, then." Seeing that even Narsis had given up, Andopulis nodded, "Then, Admiral Simon, according to the verdict of the Presbyterian Church, you will be convicted of treason, and your trial will take place after the war, and before that, you will be imprisoned as a prisoner in the prisons of the kingdom. With that, in the middle of the hall, heavily armed guards came over with shackles and handcuffed Admiral Simon's hands.

"Offended, Your Excellency." The guards on the side whispered, after all, Admiral Simon has a high prestige in the army, although they don't think that Admiral Simon will betray the kingdom, but they definitely don't dare to disobey the will of the Council of Elders, as soldiers, they have no choice.

However, Admiral Simon did not change his face, neither angry nor afraid, and was led out of the council hall with the guards.

"Hahaha, Secretary Andopolis, you will definitely pay for what you have done."

However, just as Admiral Simon stepped out of the door, the man let out a chilling laugh.

Everyone's eyes were attracted for a while, although they didn't understand why this man was doing this, but it made many people feel very uncomfortable in their hearts.

"Grandstanding." Looking at the figure of Admiral Simon leaving, Andopoulis said with a sneer, as if he didn't care at all. But inadvertently, the man's fingers seemed to twitch violently.

……

"What the hell is going on?" Puzzled, Sylvia questioned Narciss, who now that King Angros was seriously wounded, the young princess had no strength to rely on except him. This was not because of how reliable Narciss, but because their common enemy was Andopoulis.

However, Admiral Simon, whom she had hoped to protect, ended up being imprisoned on charges of treason, and Narsis did not succeed, meaning that they lost another trump card against Andopoules.

At this time, Narsis was also very helpless, "What can I do?" Simon, that guy didn't even have any intention of resisting, he was completely toyed with by the other party in applause. In his opinion, he had done his duty, and Sylvia should not be responsible for anything else.

"Can I go see him, then?" Sylvia also knew that the other party had done her best, but she still hoped that the other party would come to her aid again.

But the man showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and explained to him helplessly: "It's a pity, Your Royal Highness, but for now, this is undoubtedly unrealistic. Andopulis couldn't have allowed it, and now I'm more concerned about the knight king, after all, can the safety of the city really depend on him? This makes me very skeptical. ”

Indeed, although Constance Dante has proved his strength, it is impossible for a tactic to succeed twice, and the strength of those crusaders is probably far greater than that of the Seljuk armies before them, and everyone is deeply skeptical whether they will succeed.

……

Outside the city of Trebizond, a large army was stationed outside at this time. It was the mighty Crusaders and the elite of the Kingdom of Nicaea, ready to attack at any moment.

However, due to the contradictions between Nicaea and the Crusaders, the attack could not be launched for a long time, which filled the army with an impatient atmosphere. (To be continued.) )
