Chapter 36, the first glimmer of light
Leaving the Red Fort does not mean that the crisis is over.
Quite the opposite.
The golden robes of King's Landing have rushed to Aegon High Hill, and the gates of the Red Keep have opened, indicating that they are in even greater danger!
An explosion of a black powder bamboo tube can terrify, stunned, and distract enemies, and help everyone open the gates of the Red Keep, including the fearless Barristan, the brave Ryan, and the unflinching Stark guards.
Now that they can kill the Red Keep, they won't lose the confidence to leave King's Landing!
"Keep rushing!"
Facing the golden robes gathered outside the gate of the Red Castle, holding spears and waiting for them, Ed on the carriage did not have the slightest fear, and issued orders to the few remaining mercenaries and guards around him, and vigorously beat the horses and chariots.
"Arthur!"
A wisp of smoke drifted, and the bamboo tube containing black powder drew a beautiful parabola again.
Boom ————
Acting as a police officer and city manager in King's Landing, without much training, the golden robe will only be a rabble in the end.
The sudden explosion instantly threw their formation into chaos.
Barristan and Ryan came with their last remaining guards, mercenaries and archers, and were immediately routed and scattered.
The golden-robed commander Genos had long since died, and the rout had appeared, leaving no one to control him.
The gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, and Cersei, Joffrey, and Littlefinger on the female wall saw the chaos of the scene, and immediately let the royal guards around them protect them away from the battlefield.
The enemy was leaderless, and everyone quickly rushed down the high hill of Aegon.
The Golden Robe was in full swing, and there was a fight in the Red Keep, and many people in King's Landing guessed that something was happening.
There is no longer the hustle and bustle of the past, there is not a single pedestrian on the street, and the doors and windows of every house are closed, and it seems very quiet.
But hiding in the small streets and alleys, the figures behind the doors and windows are still visible.
Not counting Eddard, who was wounded in his right leg, and Robert, who was unconscious, three were archers, four mercenaries, four people, Arthur, Ryan, Barristan, and Hainrikay, plus five Stark family guards were all powerful.
Arthur ran out of bamboo bombs, and when they were exhausted, they might not be able to escape if they encountered the enemy again.
"Boom~"
The sound of hurried horses' hooves rumbled.
Eddard in the carriage stopped the crowd.
The banner fluttering high, a golden griffin with a blue shading, a crown on its head, a sword in one claw, and a shield in the other!
Holy Loraine's Family Banner!
They are the Royal Knights!
The leader is none other than the head of the Royal Knights, Alex Rudolph, from the Rudolph family.
The Rudolphs, like the Weitin family from Heinrikai and the Claudian family from Annie, are a family of knights who have been loyal to Holy Loran since before the Usurper War.
Looking at his former comrade-in-arms, the Duke of the North was unable to ride a horse with an injury in his right leg, so he could only sit in the carriage.
Alex Rudolph's face was cold, and he asked in a deep voice with murderous intent: "The scholar summoned you to rebel against the king, do you have no last words to say?"
Plotting against the king?
It turned out that the university Bencher had also thrown himself into the Lannisters.
Hearing this, Ed's face was bitter, blaming himself for trusting others too easily.
The Kingsguard who swore allegiance had rebelled, and Barristan didn't believe the Royal Knights: "I think you're going to rebel against the king!"
"Uncle Alex, wait a minute, don't get excited, I have something to say!" The royal knight had already raised his riding spear, and Hain Likai hurriedly stepped forward and said, "We didn't plot to rebel and kill the king!"
"Your Majesty is lying in the car, and it is the Lannisters who rebel!"
"Hein Likai?" Alex frowned when he heard this, he was also a member of the Seven Knight Families who had always been loyal to Divine Loran, he believed that this girl who was born in a family and looked at her growing up, motioned to the knights not to move yet, and then said in a deep voice: "Let Your Majesty come out and see." ”
The girl's cousin, Baron, died to protect His Majesty, and Barristan trusted her, but was unwilling to risk the injured and unconscious Emperor.
Ed, however, believed that Alex was still loyal to the royal family, so he asked the guards to pick up the unconscious emperor.
The Royal Order was formed after the establishment of the Holy Loran Empire, and when the Greyjoy rebellion was quelled, Ed and Alex Rudolph attacked the Iron Islands together, and they were comrades who had experienced life and death, and both sides knew each other well.
Therefore, Alex didn't believe the summons of the scholars, and thought that Eddard Stark would not kill the king and rebel, otherwise he would not stop and let him speak, but directly launched a charge to suppress the rebellion!
"What's wrong with Your Majesty?"
Ed: "Hurt. ”
"Your Majesty, there is no way to prove that you are not rebelling. Alex shook his head and said with a blank look.
"Uncle Alex, the blonde Joffrey and Tomman are not His Majesty's biological bloodline, they want to kill the monarch and seek to usurp the throne!"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man who commanded the Royal Knights fell silent, his expression changed, and the knights under his command were also in a commotion.
Ed said, "Escort us out of King's Landing, and when Your Majesty wakes up, you will naturally know if we are lying." ”
Hearing this, Alex was about to nod, but the adjutant who was a position behind him suddenly drew his sword and stabbed him in the back.
"Do it!"
The knights who threw themselves into the Lannisters for the sake of glory and wealth also chose to mutiny, just like the Kingsguards who broke their oath!
"Be careful!"
Ed was injured and was too far away, Barristan and Ryan were very tired and had no strength to burst out to save people, and Heinly Likayla had a sore arm and was weak, and there was no way to fight again, swordsmanship was only rudimentary, and Arthur, who was less than thirteen years old, was not considered combat strength at all.
They could only watch Zheng Zheng watch the middle-aged man who commanded the Royal Knights being attacked by his subordinates behind them!
Screams rang out again and again.
The sky drifted through the clouds, obscuring the sun, darkening the shameful betrayal in the streets, the ground red with blood, the knights who had been attacked fell from their horses, and the undead fought back against the traitors, starting a scuffle.
Westeros' longsword is designed to pierce armor.
The fatal sword Alex avoided the key point with his years of combat experience, and after falling off the horse, he immediately passed through the horse's belly, drew his sword and turned into silver light from the bottom up, and instantly stabbed into the lower body of the adjutant Wujia, and went straight to his crotch.
Then he pulled the man off his horse with astonishing speed, and slashed with the dagger at his waist.
"Commander!" the loyal knight killed the betrayer and hurriedly rushed over.
"Alex!" "Uncle Alex!"
Ed and Heinlikai wanted to go to the rescue, but were stopped by the calm Barristan: "We can't help, don't make trouble." ”
Ryan sighed helplessly, "We don't have the strength to fight anymore." ”
Hine Rikai endured the soreness in her arm, and said as she started to build arrows: "But we won't help, sit back and watch the Royal Knights lose their manpower, and when the golden robes are recalled, there are too few people to leave King's Landing!"
"Oh, seven layers of hell!" Ryan, who had only rested for a while, had to pick up his sword again, "These traitors are damned!"
Arthur frowned and reminded, "But we don't know who is still loyal to His Majesty and who is a rebel. ”
Heinrikai released arrows to support, not seeking to shoot, harassing the enemy who attacked Alex: "Don't be impulsive, be careful that the golden robe may come from behind, I will come to support Uncle Alex and shoot arrows at the traitors who attack him." ”
