Chapter 45: Murder and Seizure of Power

In the darkness of the night, the soldiers of Demacia crept out of the barracks, and they ran backwards from the camp to the river. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

On the river, small boats broke through the water, and the general on board was directing the fleet to find a shoal to dock.

Andri, Duke of the Kingdom and the commander of the troops, was riding on an inconspicuous thin horse, and was anxiously directing the troops to speed up. Compared with the vigor before the expedition, he looked ten years older at this time, his previously oily face has now become gray and dignified, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes are becoming more and more obvious, and the gorgeous hair on his temples proves that he is not young.

Although his body looked as bloated as before, Andriy knew that he had lost at least ten pounds. The defeat on this expedition not only means that Noxus' sharp counterattack is about to begin, but also represents that the dream that Andriy once had has become a joke. The nobles on the other side of the river have sent people to collect debts several times, and the siege equipment lost under the walls of Faust was supervised by Andriy in his personal name, and now that the battle has been defeated, the shameless Light Shield III wants to shirk responsibility, and Andriy has become the punching bag of this group of nobles.

I think that when I followed this group of people to put pressure on Wang Du, everyone was a close and enthusiastic good partner and good brother, but once I was defeated, they all turned their faces and didn't recognize anyone.

"The nobles are not even afraid of the king, but are you afraid of you, the duke who has suffered a defeat? What a united front, what a partnership to resist the royal power, it's all bullshit! ”

Andri secretly hated in his heart, and it was only now that he understood what it means to be a phoenix in distress is not as good as a chicken.

The distance between heaven and hell is only a thought.

There were more than 18,000 stragglers in the camp, and it must have taken a long time for so many people to cross the river. The key point is that only small boats can be used to meet the river, and it takes a lot of time to go back and forth. Andriy could only pray in his heart, praying that the Noxian army had been carried away by the victory and did not find himself secretly retreating...... The consequences were something that Andri could not have imagined.

Just as the troops were approaching the riverbank, a cavalry rushed out of the darkness. They had bright torches in their hands, and a huge fiery phoenix hovered above their heads. When the army appeared, Andri angrily asked, "Who is so blatant!" ”

No one answered his question, and the cavalry team approached quickly, and the leading general, who was a tiger-backed wolf, raised his sword and shouted: "I am Galen, the cavalry major general!" Where is Duke Andriy? ”

Galen roared like thunder, stunned the army that was sneaking to cross the river. A general rushed out of the ranks, stopped Galen with a gun, and shouted, "Galen!" What do you want? ”

Galen tugged at the reins of his horse and said loudly, "The army of Noxus has all left the camp!" Do you still want to cross the river? ”

"What!"

The general's face changed, and he asked, "This is true!" ”

"Arnold! You can not take my word for it! But this matter is what Prince Jiawen and I have seen with our own eyes, if you don't believe it, you can ask the prince! ”

As soon as Galen finished speaking, he immediately retreated his horse to the side, and Gavin slowly walked out of the firelight, Arnold saw it clearly, hurriedly jumped off the horse, half-knelt in front of Gavin, and said with a fist: "Brigadier General Arnold of the infantry has seen Prince Gavin!" ”

The surrounding soldiers couldn't help but cheer loudly when they heard Arnold admit that the young man in the fire was Gavin! The cheers next to him, the people behind followed to inquire, and when they heard that it was the return of the prince, they couldn't help but stop and look back

Andriy had already reached the bank of the river, and was beckoning the boats in the water to come, and the cheers reached his ears, and he couldn't help but look back. Seeing that the troops behind him were all standing still, he couldn't help but shout: "What's the matter?" ”

A captain ran over and explained to Andri: "Prince Gavin is back!" He sent men to stop the army and prevent it from crossing the river! ”

"What!"

Andri's eyes widened with anger and he shouted, "Gavin has lost the battle, why won't he let my troops cross the river?" ”

The captain shook his head and said, "I don't know this!" ”

Andriy whipped the captain, kicked the captain over, turned to the commander of his own army, and said, "You can bring someone with me!" ”

Andriy hurried back, but the soldiers in front of him were all stopping to watch, so Andriy asked the guards to shoot them with guns, and separated them from the crowd, and Andriy strode in. When he arrived at the firelight, he saw that it was indeed Jiawen who was riding on the horse, but Andriy was not afraid at all, and asked Jiawen loudly: "Since the prince has returned safely?" And why did you prevent my army from crossing the river? ”

Gavin said: "The pursuers of Noxus are about to arrive, and it is extremely inappropriate to cross the river at this time! ”

Andri's eyes widened in anger and he shouted, "If you don't cross the river, will you wait for the main force of Svein to come and completely trap us?" Prince Jiawen, this army was recruited by our local nobles! His Majesty has not even been paid a military salary! The Dragon Teng Legion led by you is eating the money and food of the kingdom, but not a single one is left, do you still want to completely bury our little old bottom here? ”

Under the firelight, in the face of Andri's loud questioning, Jiawen was speechless. He lowered his head in shame and explained in a voice like a gnat: "My father did not pay the military salary, but it was because the treasury was empty and he couldn't get it......

"Enough! Since this army is not on the national salary, then the person who decides their life and death should be me! Prince Jiawen, no matter what, I will cross the river with a large army! Even if you can only go back halfway, it's better than waiting here to die! ”

After Andri finished speaking, he turned his head and handed the leader of the guards a color, and the leader of the guards led people forward, drew his sword and forced: "Prince Jiawen, I'm really sorry!" Now that the commander of the army is Duke Andri, we must carry out the orders of Lord Duke! If you insist on getting in the way, don't blame the Doom for being offended! ”

Gavin's face changed drastically, and Galen next to him was even more angry. Hua Li Lang next to him saw that the two of them were clearly angry, but he still didn't dare to act, and couldn't help but shout: "Andri ignores the royal power, oppresses the prince, and deserves to be punished according to the crime!" General Galen is not going to take down this traitor quickly! ”

Galen was shocked when he heard this, he turned his head slightly, glanced at Jiawen, and saw that Jiawen was forced to keep retreating without saying a word, and finally couldn't help but let out a loud shout!

With a "bang", the endless has been unsheathed. With a slap between his legs, he neighed and rushed straight towards the leader of the guards! Arnold next to him shouted anxiously: "Galen! What do you want! ”

As soon as the words fell, the head of the leader of the guards had already risen to the sky! Blood spilled into the sky, and Galen's eyes were already red. His sword seemed to turn into the scythe of death, and Andri's guards parted at the touch of it. When Andriy saw Galen so powerful, he turned around and ran away.

Hua Li Lang, who had been paying attention for a long time on the side, jumped up directly from the war horse, and the gallop was activated to the maximum in an instant, and his body turned into an afterimage, chasing after Andri. In the sky, the fire phoenix, which had been circling and swimming, suddenly screamed, and it rushed down with a majestic fire.

A burning smell suddenly came, and the fire phoenix swooped down, burning all the guards who were blocking the road into roast pigs in an instant. The surrounding soldiers didn't know what was going on, but they had already dispersed far away, and Hua Li Lang flipped a heel in the air and flipped directly in front of Andri. Seeing that the way had been blocked, Andriy had no choice but to pull out the hammer pinned to his waist and roar with a hideous face: "You forced me!" ”

The purple hammer was held up in the air, and purple lightning was wrapped around it, and Andri shouted, and the lightning hammer in the air slashed down towards Hua Li Lang! Hua Li Lang's eyes widened and he slashed his sword horizontally!

Under the wind and thunder, Hua Li Lang spurted a mouthful of blood, and half of his body was smashed into the ground. Purple thunder came from the sword to his body, and Hua Li Lang felt that his whole body was crackling. Andriy was about to approach when a loud shout came from behind him: "Death! ”

Andriy turned to look back and saw a huge black shadow rushing straight at him, and the giant hammer in his hand had no time to block before he was pierced through the heart by a sword. Andri's round face began to distort, blood came out of his nostrils, eyes, and ears, and he looked at the figure standing motionless in front of him, and spat out two words hoarsely: "No ...... Exhaust! ”

The sledgehammer in his hand fell to the ground, and Galen drew his sword, and Andri's massive body fell backwards!

His eyes looked straight ahead, unwilling, regretful, and a trace of nostalgia. There was no hatred in his eyes all the while, and he bent his fingers slightly, wanting to say something, but nothing came out.

When Andriy fell, someone in the darkness cried out weakly, "I...... Depend on! ”

Arnold stood stunned, what had just happened was not very fast, but he had never been able to stop him, his eyes widened as he watched Andriy be killed by Galen. When the night breeze blew from the river again, Gavin had already come to him, bent down and saluted him, "Gavin can't help himself, General Arnold!" I need your help! ”

Arnold looked at Jiawen with a complicated expression, and asked bitterly, "What else does the prince need me to do?" ”

Gavin looked at him quietly and said to him, "I said that the army of Noxus is coming soon!" The general must lead his soldiers to set up a defensive formation! ”

Arnold smiled bitterly: "The prince even dares to kill the duke, how dare I disobey your orders?" But don't forget, without the people on the other side of the river to support you, you're in a very difficult situation. ”

"No matter how difficult it is, you and I, as soldiers of Demacia, can't give up the last line of defense of this kingdom!"

"I see!"

After Arnold finished speaking, he went to gather the soldiers, and it was only then that Gavin breathed a long sigh of relief, and he turned his head to look at the place where Arnold had fallen, and suddenly remembered someone. For that person, Jiawen's heart suddenly became extremely complicated.
