Chapter 399: Wings of Departure II
Thorne didn't know exactly how Trogg, and especially the relationship between him and Tifa, had changed at the Mage Tower, but it was true that Trogg's power had become very powerful.
Lance saw what was no longer recognizable as a humanoid mass of char that had fallen from the slowly disappearing pillar of fire, and Lance staggered back two steps with a pale face.
The personal guards saw that their captain had died tragically in front of them in just one round, and their morale was no longer negotiable, if it weren't for the sense of honor of being the escort of His Royal Highness the Prince, they would have fled.
The soldiers of the city defense army were also shocked, and they began to think that Trogg had said to them at the beginning.
You can make a mistake once, but you should never make it a second time.
They are all adults and understand what it means, they chose to play for Lance once, but now with the appearance of Troger, they now have to face a second choice.
The captain of the city guard, Albert, has been operating in Starlight City for many years, and has always been a businessman, but in his generation, he is naturally lucky to have a superior physique, which makes the old Albert, who has always had a dream, very excited, and the old Albert did not hesitate, and immediately sent his little Albert to the Knight Academy for further study.
Albert did not live up to his father's expectations, he was just thirty years old, he had already become the captain of the city defense team of Starlight City, and his strength was only half a step away from the Earth Knights, if it weren't for the fact that Starlight City was not stable recently, and Albert was given enough time, he would definitely break through immediately and become a member of the Earth Knights.
Albert made an assessment of his future and current situation, he is the only seed of the Albert family, and he also has the responsibility of inheriting the family business, so Albert knows that he must be cautious, he must be careful.
If you can't make a mistake a second time......
......
Lance was not completely hopeless, at least his grandfather was still the emperor of the Ink Empire, and as long as he could return to the Ink Empire, his grandfather's Iron Rider would definitely help him reign in the stars again......
That's right, that's it!
Lance had already made up his mind that the captain of the guard, Steyer, was dead, but the vice-captain was still there, and the vice-captain was also his loyal follower.
Lance's mood immediately improved slightly, he looked at the vice-captain, and sure enough, the vice-captain understood what he meant.
The vice-captain immediately began to give instructions, some of them staying here to intercept the Morrowind's men, and others covering Lance's retreat.
Simple and straightforward tactics, but when Lance's side had just moved two steps, Lance's expression suddenly became angry.
"What are you going to do?!"
The men of the City Guard stood in the way of Reims's retreat.
Albert didn't speak, and it wasn't a piece of glory that might be written in history as a disgrace, so Albert hoped that his choice was correct, of course, if the choice was the Lord......
"Brother Lance, disarm your men!"
As Lance waited for Albert to answer his question, Troger's voice came first.
Lance looked back suddenly, and the warriors of Morrowind had begun to surround behind Trogg, and in this situation, Lance was already surrounded by front and back.
When Trog persuaded Lance to surrender, his eyes never looked at Albert, and Albert was overjoyed when he saw Troger's reaction, "It's a ...... master"
The meaning is very simple, Troger's performance shows that there is no intersection between him and Albert, and Albert has not done anything to do such a rebellion, he just happens to appear on the path that Lance is going to retreat.
In the end, Albert was ready to move away from the team, but he didn't expect the speed on Trogg's side to be faster, and before Albert moved away, he had already blocked His Highness Lance in the middle......
Although Lance's escort team has more than 100 elite warriors, compared with the thousands of city defense troops at the south gate and the Morrowind Leader army, which has also entered the city with two or three thousand people, Lance's defeat is already a sure thing.
The expression on Lance's face quickly changed.
"Hmph, Trogg, I'm not convinced of you, where is Thuin Neumann, the Count of Morrowind!"
Lance was going to shift his focus, and there was one person he wanted to see most right now, and that was Xiuyin.
"Count Xiuin, I really didn't expect that from viscount to earl, I think Your Excellency can be called the faster one in the Starlight Kingdom!"
After seeing Xiuin's figure, Lance immediately exclaimed, "I don't know how Count Xiuin feels at this time?!"
Xiu Yin understood what Lance meant, and he was able to go from baron to viscount at the earliest, thanks to Lance's support, and Lance played a very important role in taking an important step in his reputation.
At this time, Lance mentioned this matter, not only to Xiu Yin, but also to everyone here, because Xiu Yin's behavior is obviously inseparable from Xia Keshang, and it is needless to say that the matter of the later rebellion against the Haider Dominion is not much to say, and the entire Starlight Kingdom is almost a matter known to passers-by.
When Lance said this, he knew that it would be difficult for him to get out, and he also had to wake up the cultivation cause, and without him, it would be difficult to have today's cultivation achievements.
But Lance neglected one man.
Before Xiu could reply, Trogg's laughter rang out.
The smile on Trogg's face was already an unbearable smile, "The overall situation has been decided", this is the sentence that Trog shouted when he made a victory gesture in his heart.
"Now, I don't think there will be any objection to Neumann as a marquis!"
Trogg's words made the side of Morrowind stunned for a moment, including Xiu Yin.
Naked in the morning wind collar, Lance even began to regret his previous words, he began to hate Xiu Yuan, if it wasn't for him, how could he have become so passive in the war for the throne......
"Xiuyin!"
Lance's eyes began to redden, he saw Trogg's arrogant expression, Lance had already guessed his future, but at this moment, Lance wanted to make someone regret it.
Lance's remaining left arm suddenly lifted, a movement that made Xiuin's scalp tingle.
Although Xiu Yin thought it was incredible, this action was the one he was most familiar with.
"Lance has something on his arm......"
Xiuin was reluctant to say that it might be a small crossbow, but his "patent" had indeed been stolen.
Sou!
A gust of wind came out of Lance's cuffs, and a small crossbow came out of the string, and at this distance, Xiu Yin, who was not prepared at all, only felt that his back was instantly damp......
