Chapter 464: The Legend of the Knight King (37) When the king returns, all the rebels tremble
When the current general of Bangalore learned that Archduke Arthur had actually returned to Arti, he was immediately surprised, although he himself was not a member of the Merochu family, but he was a diehard loyalist of the Principality's Bang Vai Li An's play, so he himself was as uncomfortable as eating a piece of Xiang for Arthur's return.
At this time, he remembered the words of the mysterious visitor when he came to meet him that day, and the golden wealth that the mysterious visitor had given him:
"If, I mean, if there is a person who calls himself Archduke Arthur and returns to Bangara, I think this person must be a fake, after all, didn't the big men of the principality say in unison that Archduke Arthur has died in Sinda? ”
Yes, the big people in the duchy don't like him, and they don't like him either, so in Bangalore in advance, this "impostor" will be executed, won't there be nothing? The coronation of Archduke Lancelot and the wedding day of Princess Gnevelle are imminent, and the Bangalore guards feel that they should not want to see Archduke Arthur now.
Having made up his mind, the Bangala guard slapped the armrest and ordered the other generals under him: "That must be a fake! Dare to pretend to be the dead Archduke Arthur! We will cut off his head! To deter those who dare to pretend to be the Archduke!"
Bangalore used to be Arthur's base camp, so everyone from soldiers to generals here was brought out by Arthur. However, after Arthur accepted the military order of Du Yuxiu I and went north to Dested, most of the defenders of Bangalore remained unchanged, but the generals changed greatly, and now they have been replaced by this group of people.
Unfortunately, this group, like most of the nobles of the Duchy of Merochu, was extremely unhappy with Arthur and Arthur's measures, so when the Bangala Commander gave the order, except for a few cowardly, the other generals passed the decision to "behead the impostor here" with a "wow".
You know, there are gods in this world, and if Arthur proposes to verify his authenticity in front of the gods, it will be too late. So if you want to kill Arthur, the only way to kill him is not to give him this opportunity, and directly execute him in Bangalore to avoid long nights and dreams.
So as soon as the Bangalore guards hailed, the generals gathered their troops and took them out of the city, preparing to besiege and annihilate Arthur. After all, hating Arthur is one thing, and the great military exploits that Arthur has accumulated in recent years, as well as holding the artifact Stone Sword in his hand, have put a lot of pressure on the generals. Besides, a lot of people have already seen Arthur, so it's nothing to bring more troops with him.
"Well, the madman who dares to impersonate the former Grand Duke in front of him is not quick to kneel down and tie his hands!"
When Arthur was shocked by the news he received from Bangale, he was still in a state of confusion, he was awakened by a violent cry, looked up, and found that it was the guard who had actually led the army upstairs to scold him.
Arthur was also a little angry, and he asked, "What do you mean by this? Looking at the sword in the stone in my hand, don't you know that I am the real Arthur?"
But the Bangalore guard didn't want to talk to Arthur at all, and when he saw Arthur talking back, the guard turned his head and said to the adjutant: "The maniacs in the city dare to arrest them, then don't blame the general for being ruthless, come on, shoot arrows!"
Most of the city defense soldiers were a little hesitant, but the private soldiers brought by the guards didn't care about this, they only listened to the orders of the main general, and when they heard that the guards asked them to shoot arrows to the city, they immediately shot arrows, and a few clever ghosts even activated the city defense magic.
Arthur originally thought that this was the territory of the Duchy of Merochow, so he didn't let his army take more precautions, and they were also tired from many days of traveling, so they followed Arthur weakly at this time, full of thoughts that they were about to enter the city and get the reward of the Grand Duke. As a result, when they were attacked by the Bangalore, they were at a loss and suffered heavy losses.
After a rain of arrows, due to lack of preparation, Arthur brought half of the remnants of the army, and at this time the other generals also went out of the city with their army, apparently preparing to attack Arthur here.
Arthur clenched his grip on the sword in the stone and thought urgently. No, the Sword of Oath Victory can only be used in the wild, and Bangare's defensive magic can resist the attack of the Sword of Oath Victory, even if you shoot at the pursuers, it will only destroy the first wave, and there are more soldiers in the city.
No, Arthur was already angry, for the first time in his life in so many years, he had been so eroded by rage, he had lost his crown, he had lost his wife, and now he had to run away like a mouse, how could he do it!
In a fit of rage, Arthur raised the sword in the stone and used the amplification magic of the sword in the stone to cover the entire Bangale: "O my people! the Duchy of Merochu has betrayed me! The Banhalese guards want to murder me here! My army has been exhausted in the southward march, and the only one I can rely on is you! Do I submit to the coercion of traitors, or support your king!"
Hearing Arthur's words, the Bangalore guard almost laughed: "Ahahaha, do you still want to say that chivalry is old-fashioned? Civilians are just ignorant gangsters, soldiers who only know how to loot and make money, who will follow you in this situation, who else?"
With a bang, the rear of the Bangalore guard exploded, and he turned his head in surprise to find that the city was already in flames, and there was a constant sound of slashing.
"What's going on! Who's going to investigate! Get it to me!"
A moment later, the adjutant who had found out the situation came back and said, "Many veterans have rioted, saying that they want to follow King Arthur, and as they rioted, many civilians began to join in!"
"How so! Are there so many fools in the world who believe in chivalry?" Hearing the source of the riot, the Banhala guard looked even more surprised.
Of course not, almost none of the civilians and soldiers who supported King Arthur's rebellion believed in Arthur's chivalry, but they knew who was good to them.
As mentioned earlier, after Arthur left Bangare, the Principality of Merochu replaced all the upper echelons and elite soldiers of Bangalore with the current faction, but those auxiliaries, city guards and residents of the city were not replaced.
When Arthur was in Bangare, he believed in chivalry and gave Bengalore justice, and Arthur would judge disputes in the city fairly according to the law and prevent all deductions. However, when the new Bangala Keeper arrived, the inhabitants of the area soon felt that everything was back on track.
The great merchants were at last happy again, and after paying the filial piety to the nobles, they were at last able to arbitrarily lower and raise the prices of the lower merchants, as before, and the quartermaster was also happy, and at last they were able to go wild in the warehouses and sell the military supplies to the black market to make money for themselves; the new soldiers did not feel anything, they were rampant in the old place, and they still dominate the market here.
But the civilians, the small merchants, and the soldiers of the lower classes, they felt that they were so miserable when they returned to the familiar track after experiencing the days of being treated justly, so when Arthur raised his arms, the citizens and soldiers who had received Arthur's favor surged and joined in their support for Arthur.
As soon as these people moved, the soldiers who were coerced by the Bangalore guards did not dare to move, they originally felt that the opposite side was the real King Arthur, and killing Arthur would have brought them a lot of psychological pressure, and now as soon as there was a riot in the city, many soldiers retreated.
So Arthur held the sword in the stone, rode his own dragon and lion, and rushed to Bangalore alone: "I don't know the guards in the city, dare to come down and fight against me as a knight?"
"Kill, kill him!" the Bangalore guard was frightened, and fought Arthur in a one-on-one duel, and his own brain was not broken! So he instructed his men to surround Arthur while preparing to anoint the soles of his feet with oil.
Then there was a crash, and before he could run far, the Bangalore guard was punched away by his adjutant, and then tied up by the adjutant with his men and pulled up to the city wall.
"King Arthur, honorable King Arthur, the people who tried to kill you have been caught by us! We are only coerced, and we are innocent!" the adjutant shouted to Arthur earnestly, and as the adjutant brought out the bandaged Bangalese guards, most of the Bangala defenders gave up their resistance in an instant, and the few recalcitrant ones only wanted to flee from Bangare.
In this way, with just a voice, Arthur did not pay much to enter the Bangale.
"You injured people, just stay in Bangalore to recuperate, I still have some accounts to settle with some people," before leaving Bangare, Arthur came to visit them in the wounded barracks, after speaking, Arthur turned to the side of the side and said, "Dyce, I'm sorry I can't go to Mengmu to help you get justice for the time being, I have to go to Madeira first and settle one thing." ”
Days waved his hand and said: "King Arthur, it's okay, you still remember the promise made to me as a little person, I am already very happy, and now the things you are facing are more important than my grievances, go to Madeira first." ”
When leaving the city, some of the soldiers and civilians of Bangalore wanted to follow Arthur, after all, Arthur was now leading only a few followers, and Arthur would not be able to stop Arthur if Madeira attacked Arthur like this again.
However, Arthur refused their request: "Bangalore is an extremely important city in the Duchy of Merochu, and there is no room for failure, so I can't draw too many troops from here." Gawain, before I reclaim the Principality of Melochu, Bangalore will ask you to protect me. ”
Gawain respectfully bowed to Arthur: "Yes, my master! I swear by my knightly honor, the city is in the people, and the city is ruined!"
King Arthur, back!, and with him being attacked by die-hard members of the Bangwai Lean faction under the city of Bangalore, there seemed to be no need for explanation, and the situation went to the worst.
The upper echelons of the Duchy of Merochou finally knew how terrifying Arthur's appeal was for the lower classes, especially after Lancelot abolished the Knights' Palace, which was a "useless and useless waste of national power", Arthur only left Bangaro with a team of less than 100 men, and by the time he arrived at the city of Buheqi, he had already raised an army of 30,000 - although this army was too watery and the peasants accounted for the majority, it was still terrifying.
Then, after killing the recalcitrant resistance, Buheqi's defenders surrendered to Arthur's march without a fight, and Arthur took Arthur almost bloodlessly.
Immediately, mutinies broke out in the three main cities of Sunifo, Anged, and Karachi, and Arthur's supporters tried to seize these three main cities.
Obviously, Arthur defeated the barbarian invasion a few years ago and caused so many barbarians to die, but those barbarian chieftains seemed to be addicted, as long as they could eat rations, they didn't want anything else, just to support Arthur.
Less than a month after Arthur returned with a team of more than 100 people, the high-ranking officials of the Duchy of Merochou seemed to have suddenly fallen into a state of embattlement, and they were stunned by the speed at which they were stunned.
"Son, have the envoys arrived? Arthur...... Will he let this matter be left to the end, old Archduke, and we will continue to support him as Archduke, son, you only need a small sacrifice," asked Bonwai Lee, anxious.
Lancelot replied with a wry smile: "I knew Arthur's answer long before the envoys were sent. If you make a mistake, you will be punished, and if you are beaten, you will be righteous, and it is time to start a new round of punishment in the Duchy of Merochou. ”
Bang Wai Li'an's face suddenly turned pale, he looked at his accomplices behind him, and confided in his words: "Since Archduke Arthur wants to force us to death, then we can't do anything. So, let's take a look at whether the real rulers of the Principality of Melochou are nobles, knights and gangsters!"
