Chapter 16: Prince Hans
Prince Hans from the Southern Isles now has a headache. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
He was the thirteenth prince of the Southern Isles, and he knew that he would never be able to ascend to that throne in his lifetime, so he came to Arendelle to try to open up a new world here.
His plan is simple, as long as he marries Anna and kills Queen Elsa, he can become the prince of Arendelle. Wait until you and Anna have a child before killing Anna, and you can rule a country in the name of the regent.
At first, his plan went unexpectedly well. Queen Elsa fled during the enthronement ceremony, and Princess Anna entrusted him with love, trust, and the whole of Arendelle before going out to chase him, and he became the de facto supreme ruler of Arendelle with little effort, which made him think that even the heavens were helping him.
However, what happened next almost knocked him to the bottom. Before he could really do anything in this position, an army came to the city at a very timely time.
It was night, and the others couldn't see each other's banners clearly, and they didn't know which country's army had come so coincidentally. But looking at the way the army was encamped, the momentum of the army, and the size of the ships, how could Prince Hans not recognize it, that is, the army of the Southern Isles?
I don't know which of the twelve brothers is so bold and so lucky. The terrain of Arendelle is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is impossible to attack it no matter how many people come in normal times, and only when the royal family is not in the city and the dragons are leaderless and most vulnerable, can it be breached.
But what he is more worried about is that if he can't wait for the city to break, he may have to hang up tomorrow morning. He was just appointed by Princess Anna to govern the country, and no one was convinced, and tomorrow if everyone recognized that it was their country's army that was attacking the city, it would be strange if they didn't arrest and kill themselves as spies.
It is said that he should have changed his clothes and fled now, but now that everyone in the city regards himself as the supreme commander, he is followed by people everywhere, and there is no way to escape. Besides, even if he escapes, can his twelve brothers let go of himself who secretly ran to Arendelle to do something?
Arendelle, this decaying land, I shouldn't have come!
Just as he sighed and mourned for his little life, a soldier came running up, got down on one knee, and said, "Prince Hans, there is a traveling knight who has asked to see you. ”
The knight is considered to be the lowest level of nobility on this continent, and he is also qualified to talk to the prince.
"Traveling Knight?" Prince Hans was a little surprised, but then he straightened his mood and replied majestically, "Let him come." ”
The soldier answered and ran back. After a while, a man dressed in a strange costume, with an unknown weapon pinned to his waist and a large bag on his back, came over.
"Prince Hans." Lin Yuedong put down his big bag and gave Hans a standard knightly salute - he had seen a lot of movies, he still knew this thing - "I am Lin Yuedong, a traveling knight from the far east. ”
"Hello, I'm Hans, from the Southern Isles." Prince Hans politely said, "May I ask you for something?" ”
"Two days ago, on my way here, I encountered bandits." Lin Yuedong told the lie he had carefully weaved, "There were at least forty of them, and I knocked down four, but I was still knocked unconscious by them." When I woke up, everything was snatched from them, except for my horse and my luggage. It was the subordinates of the owner of this place who rescued me here, and I am very grateful to them. ”
Prince Hans listened patiently to his words, but did not hear any important point: "Well, you mean to ......"
"I want to repay them!" Lin Yuedong suddenly became excited, "I heard that Queen Elsa suddenly escaped during the coronation, and Princess Anna chased after her, and no one followed?" ”
Hans was startled, and his body involuntarily shrank back: "Yes, that's the ......"
"Why didn't anyone follow her!" Lin Yuedong said loudly, "If it was before, it would have been enough, now that the army outside is pressing, do you know if Princess Anna will have an accident?" Even if you don't get caught by the enemy, there are so many wild animals on the North Mountain, what if you encounter a wolf? Didn't you even think to send someone to follow her? ”
In fact, in the original work, Anna did meet a wolf, and if she wasn't with Christopher, I'm afraid she would really die in a wolf's kiss.
"I want to too...... But now it's surrounded outside, and I can't get out. Prince Hans said with a wry smile. If he could get out, he would have broken through and escaped, and he wouldn't have died here.
"I can get out." Lin Yuedong said firmly, "I ask Prince Hans to assign me a few people to break out of the siege with me to protect Princess Anna and ask Queen Elsa to come back." ”
Hans's face darkened unnoticed. Of course, he is still welcome to protect Anna, after all, Anna is an indispensable link on his way to power, and he needs Anna to come back and complete the wedding with him to obtain a proper name.
But he really didn't want to see Elsa back. With the strength that Elsa showed today, if he came back, what method would he use to murder Elsa without anyone knowing? When the time comes, I can only be an honest prince and grow old.
"The question is," he asked, "how sure are you going to be able to get out?" ”
"With my strength and courage!" Lin Yuedong said solemnly, "The army outside the city has just arrived, and its foothold is unstable, so I am sure that I can kill it." And on the way here, I killed a witch and got a very good weapon from her, which was of great help to me. ”
"You can still kill a witch? So what weapons did you get? Prince Hans asked in surprise. It's not surprising that there are not many witches in this world, but there are a few, such as Queen Elsa's display today, which seems to be witchcraft.
However, it is surprising to be able to kill a witch. Witchcraft is often fantastical, making it unimaginable to ordinary people, this knight can actually kill a witch, then his strength is obviously very strong.
"This." Lin Yuedong pulled out the pistol on his waist and introduced it in a way that Hans could understand, "This is a hand crossbow with a particularly fast rate of fire, I don't know how the witch made this thing, but it is really useful." ”
As he spoke, he aimed his gun at the nearby wall and pulled the trigger. A bullet shot out at a speed unbelievable to the naked eye, making a small hole in the stone wall.
Hanston was shocked by the rate of fire and power of the pistol!
Even a hole can be punched in the stone wall, so if it hits a person, it can't be directly pierced?
No wonder this knight was so confident, it turned out that he not only had the skills to kill the witch, but also carried such an artifact!
"Then you do have the strength to break through......," Hans said, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind: could he rush out with this knight? If you go out to bring Anna back, or even go one step further, and kill Queen Elsa to end this winter, you will definitely become the hero of Arendelle!
On the way, there might be a chance to kill this knight and get that artifact for yourself!
Even if you can't do that, at least you can escape, lest you sit here and wait to be killed.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was perfect, and when he summoned all his acting talents, he said impassionedly: "To make sure that nothing goes wrong, I will go with you!" I'm not bad at it, and no one in the city is more worried about Anna's safety than I am! ”
It's a pity that he can hide it from others, but he can't hide it from Lin Yuedong. Lin Yuedong also paid to watch "Frozen", as a breakthrough villain prince in the history of Disney animated films, Lin Yuedong is not so easy to forget how this guy is in the movie is a guy who is full of plots and coups.
Isn't it self-inflicted death to let such a person follow?
Besides, Lin Yuedong still has his own plans, and it is impossible for him to accompany him.
So he also summoned all his acting talents, and said more impassionedly than Hans: "No, Your Royal Highness, you must stay in the city to preside over military affairs!" There is an old saying in the country where I come from, 'A country cannot be left without a king for a day'. Now that Queen Elsa and Princess Anna are not in the city, you must take responsibility and command the people to defend their country! ”
"......"
"Your Royal Highness!" Lin Yuedong interrupted him and said loudly, "There are some things that can't be taken care of, and you have to give up one side wisely." Arendelle needs your guidance and leadership, and I will protect Princess Anna's safety with my life! ”
"Yes, Prince, leave the safety of the princess to this powerful knight, this country needs you too!" The people next to him also persuaded one after another.
Hans fell into deep thought.
It's not that he has nothing to say, it's that Lin Yuedong's words just now suddenly woke him up unintentionally.
His current dilemma is nothing more than the inability to take into account the identity of the prince of the Southern Islands and the leader of Arendelle. If you can't do both, why can't you give up one or the other?
Anyway, the Southern Islands themselves are destined to not be able to go back, so just give up the status of the prince and become a prince in Arendelle, wouldn't it be no problem?
Thinking about it this way, as long as you find a way to prove your loyalty to Arendelle, you can continue to sit firmly in the position of the leader of Arendelle, so why risk your life to break through?
Thinking of this, Hans did not insist on following him, and said, "Well, then, I entrust everything to you, strange knight. Please be sure to ensure Anna's safe return! ”
"We must live up to our mission!" Lin Yuedong replied loudly.
Prince Hans stood up and asked the nearby soldiers, "So, who wants to break through with Knight Lin Yuedong?" ”
"Me!" ””
Several soldiers said enthusiastically. Elsa's family is approachable, pro-people, and has a high reputation in Arendelle, and is very well loved. So even such a mission with great danger, these soldiers are willing to go.
Prince Hans chose four men of exceptional stature and ordered Lin Yuedong and them to prepare the best armor, weapons, shields, horses, dry food and water.
Lin Yuedong took off his original clothes and stuffed them into the bottom of his backpack, put on heavy armor, and only felt awkward all over, but he couldn't reflect it, so he could only force himself to maintain a proper posture, and rode towards the city gate first, followed by four soldiers.
When he was about to reach the city gate, suddenly an old man jumped out from the side, stopped Lin Yuedong, and said very generously: "Mr. Knight, I am the Duke of Weatherton, and I am deeply moved by your righteousness, so please allow me to provide you with two more powerful soldiers to follow!" ”
Duke Weatherton?
