In the battle-hardened city of Trebizond, everything was left to rest, and although the Seljuk invasion was repulsed, the despair did not fade in the slightest. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoBecause no one knows when those Turks will come back.

There was no joy on everyone's face for the rest of their lives, but rather frustration and despair.

Trebizond, once claimed to be unbreakable and would be the hope of the revival of the new Rome, but in the end it was impossible to escape the fate of Constantinople, and if it were not for the time of Constance Dante, the city would have become history. Even so, there were still too many civilians affected by the war, and they were not cared about at all because they lived in the lower city, and although the burghers in the upper city were fortunate not to be affected too much, they could not be at ease in any way.

However, it is not these civilians who are most panicked now, but those who can calmly handle affairs in the upper echelons, as the elite of the country, who guide the direction of the country and share the greatest power. But now they suddenly realize that they could lose it at any moment.

There was a dead silence in the House of Elders, and the gloomy parliamentarians were speechless.

"Gentlemen, at such a time, not saying anything can solve anything." A lawmaker broke the silence and said.

"Even then, if it's really like Simon's waste report, our main force has been hit hard, and less than fifty percent can be mobilized, everything means that it will be irreparable! Naossis Qing. "After the army in the Western Theater had been heavily damaged, they received the news that the Crusaders would intervene completely unexpectedly.

"Your Excellency, pay attention to your tone. This kind of thing shouldn't be what you say. At least Admiral Simon could spend the remaining fifty percent on the defense of Trebizond. ”

"So what, this time it's the Crusaders who attacked, even if it was a partial division, how could we hold it in our state!" There was no hope at all, and defeat seemed already doomed.

"Yes, instead of discussing how to hold on, it is better to consider whether it is possible to take refuge in the East." Another MP chimed in, saying that this time the proposal was more explicit, but it spoke to the hearts of many – to abandon Trebizond.

It is important to know that these nobles were not vassals of the so-called New Roman Empire, but nominally submitted to the Oriental aristocracy. The reason why King Angros was established was just to take advantage of the royal prestige, but after all, he was not as ambitious as the Baño family and the Pario family. At this time, it is best to find a way out as soon as possible.

"Evacuation?" At that moment, a cold, sarcastic voice resounded throughout the hall.

The door to the House of Elders was slammed open by heavily armed soldiers, and men in military uniforms walked in. And it was Andopoulis. He could breathe a sigh of relief when he was sure that the Turks had completely left Trebizond, but he learned that the war in the west had also burned. The elite led by Admiral Simon actually lost more than half.

Does it seem that the Holy See really wants to wipe them off the map completely?

"Andopolis, you've finally appeared!" Narsis said with a look of clarity on his face.

"Yes, Narsis, if I don't come forward at this time, I'm afraid the lost dogs will have already scattered and fled." The two looked at each other with subtle eyes. The biggest secret to the existence of the Kingdom of Trebizond is balance. King Angros and the Paglio family are two opposing powers, while the Baño family, who are second to them, are responsible for not letting one of them become too powerful to control. For example, on the previous question about the heir of the kingdom and the knight king, as the representative of the Baño family, Narsis was on the side of King Angros. It's just that now people have to join forces to deal with the aristocrats who are about to move.

At such a critical moment, if these upper echelons were to be in chaos without a fight, Trebizond would not be far from disintegrating, which Narcisse and Andopulis absolutely did not want to see.

It seems that it is necessary to deter it when necessary, otherwise I am afraid that the threat to itself will be the greatest!

And what to do before, the nobles who were against Narsis couldn't help but chuckle in their hearts. Do they want to join forces? If that's the case, it's a bad situation! The parliamentarians are not willing to go to the funeral for the sake of this so-called country, and after the big deal, they will become the little lords of the East, so why take a risk? If the Crusaders did fight, they wouldn't even be able to escape.

"What about King Angros? At this time, it is not something you can say to decide casually, even the Pario family and the Baño family cannot be so unscrupulous. Several lawmakers couldn't help but shout in protest. It can be said that Trebizond is completely the world of the other party, if the two really will not compromise, then they and the kingdom will be buried inevitably!

This will not be tolerated!

"At this time, if you count on Your Majesty, don't you think it's too late?" Andopoules scoffed, "Don't be extravagant, King Angros was seriously injured before, and even if it weren't, do you think he would approve of you doing so?" ”

"Then it's not your turn to point fingers!" An angry councillor stood up in a rage, without the slightest hint of the demeanor of a superior.

But before he could finish his words, Andopoulis's face turned gloomy, and he asked with a cold heart, "Oh yes?" I didn't expect you to think so, Your Excellency. So how many people still think this way? ”

Before the stunned councillor could reply, he saw that the muzzle of the black hole was aimed at him.

"Bang-" The trigger was pulled, and Andopolis showed no mercy, and a shining muzzle flame burst out of the muzzle.

"Bang bang-" Andopoulis continued to fire, allowing the bullet to penetrate the councillor's chest in full view. Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them! That man would do this, and he actually shot and killed a high-ranking noble councilor in the Council of Elders!

Is he crazy?!

"Uh-wha-"

The bullet pierced the councillor's chest, the bullet holes clearly visible in front of his neat gown, red blood slowly seeping out and staining the white placket red.

"Ahem-" After a mouthful of blood spurted out violently, the senator who had been shot fell to the ground with a thud, never to get up again, and his eyes still had the unwillingness to die.

"Wow, wow!" Around, terrified parliamentarians hurriedly got up from their seats and tried to escape.

But the shots rang out again, only this time Andopoulis's guns were aimed not at the parliamentarians but at the dome overhead, but the deterrent force immediately suppressed all the commotion.

"Excuse me, be quiet, gentlemen!" Andopoulis put the hammer back on his waist, his cold eyes sweeping over everyone and the councillors did not dare to look at him, a man so brutal that he would shoot a councillor without charge in defiance of the kingdom's decrees. But they dared not speak out, and even Narsis was shocked by Andopoulis's actions. However, this seemingly cruel and barbaric method can really stabilize the situation.

"......" for a while, the birds were silent, and no one dared to raise objections. Although they had long been accustomed to Andopoulis's dominance, this time the man made such a move that greatly exceeded their expectations.

"Very good." The man nodded in satisfaction. And the heavily armed soldiers behind him were aiming their loaded rifles at each of the panicked councillors.

……

In the church, one after another, the civilians who were not in serious trouble left the place, but they had to face their shattered home. While the other injured were escorted away for further treatment by the medical team that arrived.

Although Dr. Fabre did not have any reassurance about the medical team, he was the only one here, and the help of Ekarina could not solve any problems at all. What's more, all his energy is now devoted to the care of King Angros, who has been seriously wounded.

"What exactly did His Majesty Anglos get hurt?" Constance Dante looked at Sylvia beside him and asked, he really didn't believe that a king could be injured by a stray bullet, and it almost pierced his heart, otherwise Angros would have died by this time.

"I don't know. When I saw it, my grandfather was already seriously injured and unconscious. Sylvia replied as she looked at Dr. Fabre, who was operating on Angelos. Now the situation is so critical that he can't even delay for a minute, and with limited equipment, Dr. Fabre can only do his best to stabilize the old man's injuries first.

Ekarina on the side was also cautious, it had been nearly two hours since the intense operation, and Dr. Fabre, who was physically and mentally exhausted, was also a little pale.

"Whew—" Suddenly, the doctor let out a long breath.

"Ekarina, needlework, hemostats."

"Good...... Okay, Mr. Fabre. Although she looked flustered, Ekarina was almost able to assist him skillfully, and hurriedly handed over the equipment, and the girl waiting on the side did not care about everything on the operating table at all, and carefully watched Dr. Fabre's technique. Although she never wanted to be a doctor, now Ekarina has unconsciously substituted herself into it.

After a long time, Dr. Fabre put down the scalpel in his hand, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said, "It's finally over." ”

Lifting the white curtain, Dr. Fabre, who slowly walked out, took off the mask on his face.

"Grandpa, how's he doing?" Silvia, who looked nervous, was now only concerned about King Angelos' safety.

Looking at the girl who asked him, Dr. Fabre replied calmly, "Don't worry, at least you can save your life." But his injuries were still too serious and he had to recuperate. As for when I'll wake up, I can't guarantee either. ”

“…… You've done a great job. Sylvia lowered her head, her body trembling slightly. It is like joy and excitement at the same time as sadness and anger, and it is difficult to control yourself.

"If you want to go in and have a look, go for it, but I'll wake up in a while I'm afraid it's possible." Dr. Fabre didn't mean to block the way.

"Thank you." Sylvia nodded and walked straight inside.

……

"Grand Duke, what should we do now?" Looking at the girl's back, behind Constance Dante, Dicaeuat asked in a low voice.

"What should I do?"

"Now that it's going on, I'm afraid the situation is getting more and more wrong. What did those Herodians do to you in those days? Looking at Constance Dante's somewhat frail face, Di Keaat could naturally guess something.

Apparently, the Trebizons did not abide by the previous agreement, and they simply wanted to take advantage of Constantine like the selfish nobles of Novgorod.

But Constance Dante shook his head and said indifferently, "Thank you for your concern, Dicayat." Don't worry, I'm fine, I'm just a little tired. ”

"That mecha doesn't seem to have any less influence on you than that ancient mecha." Looking at the pale Constance Dante, Dr. Fabre said.

"I had my own measure, and I didn't have a choice."

"And now? Maybe it's a mistake to stay here. Dr. Fabre said what everyone thought in their hearts, and he, as an outsider, certainly had nothing to fear, but Constance Dante's answer was a direct refusal.

Considine looked at the white curtain and replied, "If I leave now...... Maybe I'll regret it. "That was Sophia's last relative, after all, the girl had lost her mother, Consitine Dante did not want this tragedy to continue, and now he had nothing to rely on but Trebizond. It is ironic that the Nicaean were even more disappointing than the Trebizons, and that they did not hesitate to join forces with the Rastins. "Of course I won't force you, as long as I'm here, this city won't fall."

"You know that no one here will abandon you. But what do you want to do if it goes on like this? Drink to quench your thirst, and finally go to the road of destruction? I must not allow my patients to be so vexatious. "Dr. Fabre can't help his temper, his temperament is very simple, he is only a doctor, Constance Dante will inevitably be devoured by those machines if he is accompanied by mecha like this. He's already been through those tragedies and certainly doesn't want them to happen again!

"......" Seeing Dr. Fabre's excited appearance, Constance Dante also fell into a brief silence, but a smile immediately appeared on his face. Thank you very much, doctor, but it's my own choice, and it's nothing to do with anyone else. In fact, I was ready to accept this outcome from the beginning. After all, this is the fate of knights, and the brilliant brilliance can only last for a moment. ”

"Brother Consdante......" At this time, Ekarina couldn't help but speak, the reason why she followed Dr. Fabre was to be able to help Cons. Dante cure his illness, and under the current situation, Ekarina could not stand by his side. Mr. Fabre is right, we don't need it at all. Those people just want to take advantage of you. ”

But she was only halfway through her words, and Constance Dante interrupted directly, "I have already explained that everything I do is not for those people, but only for myself. The choice is always in my hands. This is the path I chose for myself. ”

With that, Constance Dante turned and walked out of the church, but when he turned around slightly, he felt a trance.

It's-

Then the world swirled......

"Archduke Cons, Dante!"

"Brother Constance Dante!"

A faint voice came to his ears, but Constance Dante found that his consciousness was becoming more and more blurred, and he finally fell into darkness. (To be continued.) )
