Chapter 64: Against the Current

Last night, a sudden arrival of thousands of royal city soldiers appeared in the darkness, almost without warning, this group of royal city troops appeared on both sides of the valley, blocking the way home of the lord Hua Lin, and defeated Hua Lin, capturing her alive

The next morning, Rutgers, who rushed back to the territory, was equally shocked to receive the news, not only the sudden change of the king and his surprise attack, but also the monster that suddenly appeared and disappeared, the terrifying destructive power, what kind of monster could destroy most of the buildings in the city in such a short time

Who the hell is it!]

He couldn't think of any way, in terms of the king's strength, it was impossible for him to send such a powerful monster, and he had seen it with his own eyes, the royal city was destroyed into that appearance, it was impossible to cheat, the king had long been too busy to take care of himself, who would kill the horse gun at the whole critical juncture

Rutgers suddenly remembered the young man he had seen the previous day, and he was standing beside the king, and that speech seemed to be deliberately tearing himself apart

He hurriedly called in the spies

Hurry up and investigate the young man next to the king, if I'm not mistaken, the problem should be with him.]

The agent then set off, riding a griffon and disappearing into the morning light

Rutgers then shouted to those around him

Everyone obeyed the order, immediately put into a state of combat readiness, erected a wooden fence, lit a fire ditch, the cruel king will put us to death, but we cannot sit idly by, inhabitants of the territory, take up your weapons and prepare for battle!]

Despite the time constraints, Rutgers's troops were systematically trained by the Northern Empire, and soon made a series of defenses, rekindling the will to fight, Rutgers is their spiritual core, as long as he does not fall, all the warriors will rush forward

Archers are ready to shoot, mages stand on towers waiting for an opportunity, and shield axemen form a barrel defense that looks almost perfect

At this time, the troops of the royal city finally came, and they rushed from the end of the road in darkness

Rutgers raised his cross-spear and shouted

Attention Remote Units!]

The enemy is getting closer and closer, and the smoke and dust are billing in, and finally they are only a few hundred meters away

Put!】

Fire, rain of arrows, thunder and lightning

The attack rushed towards the oncoming Wangcheng troops like a tidal wave, and the enemy in front fell in response, but the people behind still stepped on the corpses and rushed up

Rutgers shouted

The shield axe hand pushes forward!]

The road is flanked on both sides by wooden stakes and lit fire ditches, and the only place you can pass through is here!

The shield axemen were all strong men, and they held up the shield wall to the defence, lest the enemy take advantage of it, but the spear still came out of the crack, and almost pierced the eye of a warrior, and his face was cut open, and his shirt was soaked with the small half of his face and the chain mail on his shoulders

Keep releasing arrows, mage, don't stop attacking, don't give anyone a chance to live]

Suddenly, a herald behind him shouted

My lord, the walls to the west and southeast have also been breached!]

Rutgers hurriedly led the guards beside him and rushed over, and he left a word

Even if they die, they must block the road for me, and they must not be let go]

Rutgers had expected that the king's troops would definitely disperse their forces and attack the walls on both sides knowing that the mountain road was not easy to attack, but he didn't expect that if the mountain pass to the south was broken through so quickly, they would really lose

What to do, what to do】

He rushed to the battlefield with his troops, waving the spear in his hand

His own strength can be said to be one hundred, but the king seems to have dispatched the whole city, and if he defends it, this battle will definitely be lost

That's all it takes]

Rutgers threw his heart across and shouted

All the warriors retreated, obeyed my orders, and withdrew to the city, and those who resisted the order were summarily executed]

The surrounding warriors heard the shouts of the lord and hurriedly retreated while fighting, gathering towards the interior of the town

Although it is said that there is still the last line of defense in the city, but if we retreat inside, we will be directly surrounded, and we will become fish on the board?"

The adjutant next to Rutgers said

Lord, are we really defeated?]

Rutgers said in a low voice with a gloomy face

I have one last trick, it's up to them to get hit.]

The troops of the royal city in the southeast won successive battles, and they erected the king's banner on the city wall and shouted

The southeast castle tower has been taken!]

Immediately afterwards, they made a detour through the southern pass from behind and launched a surprise attack directly from behind the shield axemen, and the southern border defense forces - completely destroyed

The black-pressed army marched towards the city, like a stream of magma, and flooded into the city, leaving smoke and corpses everywhere it went

The king came out of the crowd and took a fancy to the innocent people of the city, who were huddled together, weeping and trembling

He said

Rutgers, come out for me, you've already lost, surrender]

There were only a few seconds of silence, except for the cries of children and women, and the crackling of the burning wooden wall beside them

The king ordered

Search for me! Be sure to catch Rutgers]

The king looked at the city, and brief memories came to his eyes

Brother, the day I finish my studies will be when our country will be strong!]

He hugged his brother Rutgers and watched him go away and get on the cargo ship bound for the Northern Empire

I'm back, brother, look at this spear of mine, it's a gift from the Pope!]

The younger self said to his younger brother

Great, with you training the warriors of our country, our strength is just around the corner]

The scene then cuts to the king reprimanding Rutgers

What have you done, how can you kill even innocent people!]

Rutgers was a twenty-six-year-old young general with black hair and a face full of murder and anger

You king who only knows how to sit back and enjoy it, I am working hard outside, how dare you make irresponsible remarks about me!]

The king was both amazed and angry

Rutgers, how dare you talk to me, do you remember my brother!]

Only then did the king realize that all his military power could not be completely handed over to his younger brother, and at this time, he was already immersed in the vortex of killing and power, and lost himself

From now on, there will be no brothers!]

Rutgers is gone, throwing down the military order

Rutgers, brother, you're back!]

The king's tears were full of tears, and he gradually came out of his memories

Why, it's become like this]

He pinched the corners of his eyes and looked at the soldiers and civilians in front of him again

If you surrender, everyone will be spared!]

The king said to the last to resist

Bang Dang - Bang Dang

One after another, weapons fell to the ground

Don't kill us, we surrender!]

The resistance of the territory fell to their knees and begged for mercy

Please, King, don't kill us, please!]

The king muttered

Bundle them up]

Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared on the top of a mountain in the north, and it was undoubtedly Rutgers

Brother, do you remember what you said?

Rutgers asked, his words echoing through the valley

The king was about to answer his brother Rutgers' words, but at this moment, the other said

Farewell, my brother!]

Boom--]

A continuous stream of sounds rang out from the high mountains in the north, and in an instant, the mountain walls collapsed, and huge rolling stones fell to the ground like comets

Withdraw!]

The king could never have imagined that his brother would do such a thing

Evacuate, everyone, run]

Everyone was in a mess, they never dreamed that protecting the mountain behind them would become a tomb for them at this time

The continuous collapse continued, and there was only madness on Rutgers' face at this point

This is mine, and this kingdom will be mine! You are not qualified to be this king, brother]

The cross spear in his hand exuded a huge aura of the earth, shaking the mountains and rocks below him, and the clods of earth collapsed in an instant, and the mud and stones withered and decayed, dumping and burying countless houses, as well as innocent people who had time to escape in the future

Groot went against the tide from the crowd, he couldn't stand it anymore, this was not a war, it was a nightmare with only pain
