Chapter 486: Wizarding World: Child's Play
King: "Fool, where are you aiming?" Soldier, give me clairvoyance! What's going on there? God, it's Count Edgeway! Demon hunter, catch! β
The king threw the clairvoyant to Rogett and directed the artillery to aim at the target: "Aim the thief with the red feather!" Less than half a year ago, he swore to me an eternal friendship! Hurry up, how tall do you want to be? β
Rogette looked at it with clairvoyance and said, "One and a half degrees." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The king himself aimed, and then directed the artillery to fire: "Did we hit that bastard?" β
Rogette: "He's down. β
The king rejoiced: "Ha! One less traitor. It's time to attack. Demon hunters, follow me. β
The scene cuts to the king and Rogette climbing the siege tower.
King: "Demon hunter, you know I'm going to forgive Luisa. All she had to do was kneel before her king. β
Rogert: "You're so merciful. β
King: Are you laughing at me? Don't care. I'm sure Luisa will understand the mistake she made. In addition to this, children need mothers too. β
Rogette: "I'm confused..."
King: "It's simple. I got into a bit of an argument with Luisa and she made demands that I couldn't do... Do you understand? β
Rogert: "I think so. β
King: "Count Edgeway and the other nobles immediately intervened sympathetically. They claim that the evil king will take her children, but they will protect them and even put them on the throne... Then the Baroness was deceived, and her maternal love was taken advantage of. In fact, they wanted to gain power to weaken the king's power. β
Louisa in the king's mouth should be the baroness, and the baroness should only be the king's mistress, and her children are illegitimate children. And that's why the war started.
The scene cuts back to the interrogation room of the cell, where Rogette and Fernon sit across from each other. Sure enough, the middle paragraph is Rogette's recollection.
Rogert: "That's ridiculous. β
Fenon: "That's designed to demoralize the rebels. β
Rogert: "A group of lords and petty nobles rode there, and then swaggered to the top of the city walls, where the real troops were fighting and dying in the streets full of and beneath them. β
Fenon: "If there's anything I've learned from my years of service, it's that gentlemen from famous families are always well-dressed and have the best advantage, whether it's fighting in war or at a ball game. Still, Demon Hunter, now is not the time to tell jokes like this... Continue to tell your story. β
Rogette: "After we got out of the siege tower, things went well... Until we met Aaron. Pull. ValΓ© so far. β
The scene cuts to the battlefield in the memory.
The king joined the battle with his sword brandished, and Rogette protected him, and they captured the walls.
The king gave orders to his men: "Lord Sejan, you are in charge of storming the central island and taking the gates!" Lord Sven, you and your men come with me. We must catch or get rid of Aaron. Pull. Vareh came to destroy the morale of the defenders. Rogette, everyone, follow me! For glory! β
The war was scorching, and the place had a geographical advantage. The king ordered Rogette to strike and snatched one of the opponent's ballistas, thus changing the situation. Rogette led his men into Vare's front line.
However, Aaron was not here. When the battle line advanced, the king's army was again blocked. Surely he was very arrogant and shouted with the king at the head of the city. The king again ordered Rogette to strike.
King: "He is the son of Louisa and the old baron, the heir to this realm, and he has an irritable personality but is skilled in swordsmanship, so be careful." β
Rogette: "I'll try to convince them. β
Rogette went up to the top of the city alone and met Aron.
Arryn: "Fergut of the famous Leah, Demon Hunter, you have fallen to such a point. I heard that you are one of the strongest swordsmen in the North. It's time to confirm this rumor. β
Rogert: "Enough killing. If you surrender, Foltai will treat you and your men with courtesy. β
Aaron: "How can you be sure he won't behead us all at the end?" β
Rogette: "I can't guarantee that. β
Aaron: "Fortai defiled my mother. Now he is also in collusion with Nilvergaard. β
Rogert: "The King leads a great army, and all you have is a handful of warriors and your reputation. In a few more minutes you may lose even more. Make a choice. β
Aaron: "Guys, did you hear that?" The king has sent a demon hunter, and we are to forget the true nature of honor and pride and surrender? We must choose, Dishonored or the Demon Hunter's Blade... Can you live like this? Will you bow down to Fortai? β
Soldiers: "Never! β
Aren: "You hear you, Demon Hunter. β
Rogert: "Don't be stupid, it's not a game. Your subordinates don't need to die for this... As long as he surrenders, the king will be merciful. β
Aaron: "My mother has seen enough of the mercy of this king! β
Rogette: "So what are you going to do?" Dead on my sword? Or run away? β
Aaron: "He made my mother a cousin, and he denied it before the whole kingdom!" β
Rogert: "That's right. But the Holocaust and misguided heroism won't change that. Lay down your weapons. β
Aaron: "If my mother has anything long and short... I'm going to find you and kill you. β
And so Aren surrendered.
The scene switches back to the interrogation room.
Fenon: "Aaron. Pull. Valey actually abandoned his sword and surrendered. It's amazing, it's amazing..."
Rogette: "Did you talk to him?" β
Feynon: "We talked about it. Just before they brought him into the torture room. This traitor's luck is really bad. Go on. β
Rogert: "By the way, what happened to the dragon?" β
Fenon: "It destroyed half of the castle, killed a large number of soldiers and went away. β
Rogert: "Where did you go?" β
Fenon: "Roughly in the direction of Yadean." β
Rogert: "I thought it was going to kill us all." β
The scene switches and returns to the battlefield.
Rogette and Lily followed the king as they reached the castle's final gate.
King: "Aaron. Pull. Vare has surrendered. Open the gates, bow down to your king, and I will spare you! β
Rogette said to Lily, "It looks like we're in a dilemma. β
Lily: "Indeed, and my magic won't be useful here. The main forces of the enemy on those ships will force us back to the town. β
Rogert: "Do you want to go back to the tent?" Now the camp should be comfortable and empty. I've had enough today. β
Lily: "It's exciting... Lo and behold, it was the king's special forces. β
Special forces had already infiltrated the castle from the flanks, and after a while they captured the castle and lowered the drawbridge.
The leader of the special forces turned out to be Feynon.
Feynon came out to meet the king: "There was a battle in the town. One of our troops crossed the river with fishing boats and attacked the town, then burned, killed, and plundered... Pull. Varyt is establishing a stronghold near the temple. β
King: "What about the Baroness?" β
Fenon: "She is alive and safely hiding in the distance. β
King: "Hopefully she's okay." β
Fennon: "Your Majesty, as you commanded, she is unscathed, and her beauty remains. The kids weren't with her..."
King: "Do you know where they are?" β
Fenon: "In the convent, but we haven't infiltrated that area yet..."
Suddenly, a dragon flew from the sky, and everyone hid in the castle.
Dragons wreak havoc in the castle, and Rogette and Lily protect the king. Fernon yelled for Rogette to deal with the dragon, but Rogette wasn't that stupid.
Lily teleported herself away. Rogette and Fernon escorted the king out of the castle through the side door. Then, the dragon flew away.
The scene switches and returns to the interrogation room.
Fenon: "The damn dragon almost turned the tide of battle. β
Rogette: "A fight shouldn't scare it away." "Then someone could be manipulating.
Fenon: "Leave the dragon alone. I need to know how this story ends. β
Rogert: "You've been on my side since the bridge collapsed. β
Fenon: "Almost. Tell me how you got into the monastery atrium. β
Scene switching, and memories again.
The king was talking to his spies: "Where are my children?" β
Spy: "Your Majesty, they are in the monastery. Finn grabbed a priest for interrogation, and finally forced him to reveal a secret passage under the walls. β
King: "But it will take a week to get the ram here... Where is that pastor now? Where is the secret passage? β
Spy: "He passed out before I could tell the truth." He's being heavily guarded underneath now. β
King: "Demon Hunter, I have a mission for you that suits your abilities. Fenon may be convincing, but he also has a fierce personality, and sometimes he loses self-control and patience at the same time. You'll have to try to figure it out for yourself. If you can do that, I will make all of Virjma envy you. β
Rogette: "Loyal to Ra. Vare's soldiers would never harm the Baroness's children. β
King: "I won't be sure of that until I see them." We need to act fast. The rebels are already scattered in the chaos, and since they are so stupid, I fear that they will intend to take children hostage. β
Rogert: "Maybe Fernon will ask something from the pastor." The town is big and I need some hints. β
King: "I rely on him a lot, but time is short. Please explore this area. We're looking for tunnels or something like that. Embankment traps, there may be some in there. You're best suited to do this, my subordinates lack your skills. β
Rogerte: "Okay, I'll go. β
King: "It's up to you, Demon Hunter. β
Rogette scoured the town and rescued several civilians from the captured soldiers. He found a secret passage in a dry well.
Rogette infiltrates alone and encounters monsters in the passage. As a demon hunter, Rogert's silver sword is specifically designed to deal with monsters.
Rogette came to the convent and saw a group of people by the sea, who seemed to be trying to leave by boat. Rogette opened the doors of the monastery and put the king's army into the monastery.
King: Speak to me, Demon Hunter. Of course, within reason. β
Rogert: "Your Majesty, I need to leave. I want Lily to come with me, if she wants to..."
In the convent, the king and Rogette finally found the children. A boy, a girl, five or six years old, they were playing. When they appeared, the children hid behind a blind priest.
Blind Pastor: "Who's there?" β
King: "I am Fortai, and I have come to my child." Rogette, you're waiting for me next door, you might scare them..."
Blind Pastor: "Whew... Thank you to the gods who answered my prayers. β
Rogette walked to the window. The king walked towards the child. The girl threw herself into the king's arms, and the boy did not move.
The blind priest encouraged the boy: "Powers, go. β
Bowers said to the pastor, "You are not my father. β
The priest said to Powers, "But he is your king, son." β
The boy walked up to the king. The bell rings.
Blind Pastor: "The bells... Your triumph is complete, Your Majesty. You have taken the city and the fortress. It is a time to thank your ancestors and the Mother of Creation for your great victory. β
King: "Wait, blind man. I haven't seen my kids in six months. The gods can give me a little more time. β
The priest nodded.
The king said to the children, "Listen to me, your mother and I have a quarrel, but that is over. She was deceived, the bad guys incited her against me, these people have been punished, and now everything is fine. Powers, don't shed tears. You will be a king one day, and kings don't cry. β
What's going on? Does the king really love his illegitimate son, and does he want his illegitimate son Bowers to inherit the throne in the future? The only child he ever spoke of was Bowers?
If so, why did the Baroness quarrel with the king, and didn't she want her son to become king in the future? No, she wanted to be king herself, so she would join forces with other nobles to rebel.
Or did the king not want to recognize the baroness and illegitimate children, and now that the war was over, he changed his mind?
What the hell is going on? It's too confusing.
Looking at the picture in front of him, it seems that the king is really a loving father, not a tyrant.
The blind priest said, "Your Majesty, armed men are approaching... Kids, go to the dining room. β
The king said to the boy, "My knights will soon come here, and you must see them, and one day you will rule them." Bowers, go wash your face and don't let them see you crying. β
Blind Pastor: "There's a bucket of water in the next room. β
Then the king said to the girl, "Anes, go and help your brother." β
