Chapter 312: The Power of Brute Force
readx;
Bradley, who was attacking from the left side of the inner sanctum, was met with stubborn resistance from the ancient loyaths, and although the loyalists of the ancient loyalists had been defeated, it was clear that many of them were coming from other parts of the palace to join the resistance. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ The interior of the palace, with its spacious terrain, soon became a battlefield of melee, with battles taking place in every room, corridor, and garden, staining the palaces of the kingdom's capital with blood.
Bradley and Gadia stood in the garden where Walter had held his coming-of-age ceremony, the largest of Marlot's gardens, with a gate to leave the palace, where the guards had already seen Bradley's surrender at the first opportunity.
"Your Royal Highness, although our men are more valiant, the number of enemies is increasing unabated, and it seems that Ancient Ronos has already brought his die-hard men into the palace, and if the enemy in the barracks enters from the rear of the palace, it may be very difficult for us to continue our advance. β
"Four out of every ten defenders who appear will choose to join us immediately, and even if he brings all the more than 10,000 defenders in the capital into the palace, we still have a chance of winning. β
"But if we're hindered by Gronos, King Byron and Queen Rosemande..."
"I believe Walter," Bradley said in an indisputable tone, "that even if Walter's brother had found his father and Rosemund, he would not have done anything against me. β
Gadia glanced back at the woman who was not far away, and the other party was like a madman, tearing the flesh of the attacker with both hands. She didn't seem to mind her hands getting blood or the remains of her internal organs, she would always use the sharp fingers of her hands to stab her enemies into their most vulnerable parts, gouge out their eyes, mouthpieces, and intestines, and leave the screaming enemies to her subordinates. And the way she attacks others is always to find opportunities to get close to each other, and then like a net, she "wraps" the enemy and finds the weakest part of the opponent. This terrible attack is deadly in the dark, especially for soldiers with helmets and narrow vision, who are always able to dodge the opponent's reckless charge and then cut the opponent's throat.
The madwoman's aggressive behavior caused Gadia a lot of fear, not only in the way the other person killed, but also in the way she looked at herself and Bradley - her face was blocked by long hair, only the nose and mouth were exposed, and her eyes were only slightly exposed, but Gadia could clearly feel the hostility in her eyes.
"Don't worry about Dorothea," Bradley took back his sword, "by the way, her name is Dorothea, and she is one of Brother Wang's most loyal servants, and she should have been by his side to protect him, but Brother Wang left her to me so that she could protect me." β
"Since His Royal Highness the Prince said so..."Gadia was still a little worried, and when she hesitated, Dorothea killed another enemy who was about to rush through the flowers to attack her, and that enemy's lower body was grabbed by Dorothea, and then some vital organs were torn off by her sharp fingers!
A guard who was rushing from a distance fell next to Bradley, and as he struggled to his feet, he shouted, "Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness, You are in great danger now!"
Bradley immediately helped the other party up, judging from the emblem of the armor on the other party's body, the other party was a soldier of the southern nobles, who should be Walter's subordinates.
"Where is the danger?"
"Prince Walter, he's got control of all parts of Mallot... He... Ahh He... Heβ" Walter's men died before they could finish their sentences, leaving Bradley with a stunned look on his face.
Gadia immediately pointed her sword at Dorothea, who was ten paces away, "What are you doing?!"
Dorothea didn't reply, but whistled. Walter's men in the garden approached this side, the closest soldiers to Bradley, who were fighting the defenders of Ancient Ronos farther away.
"Dorothea you..."
Dorothea straightened her arm and pointed at Bradley, "Carry out the last command." A cold voice came from the mouth of this woman who had never spoken in front of everyone, and those Walter's subordinates immediately drew their swords and killed Bradley's subordinates beside them, and more than a dozen unsuspecting members of the New Iron Wall Knights were killed immediately!
"Your Royal Highness, Walter really wants to harm you!"
"I still believe in the wrong brother, he is also blinded by power..."Bradley sighed, the upper part of his left hand was not yet healed, but he was not afraid of holding a sword in one hand, even if half of his men who were close to him were suddenly killed by Walter's rebellion.
At the same time, Avi, who had fallen into a trap set by Heck, was fighting alongside Cowton. Avi, Cowton, and the members of the New Knights of the Iron Wall retreated to the back of the dormitory, blocking the entrance to a hallway so enemies could only enter through a not-so-spacious hallway, and then they were all killed together. The two of them were one after the other, like two brothers who cooperated inseparably, holding on to the stairs in the hall, and the three heavy armored infantry could not take advantage of it together. However, the stone axe blocking the front was obviously not weakly injured, and his hands holding the axe were trembling all the time, but the enemies who rushed to the second layer did not decrease.
Walter had already rushed out of the main hall and scattered the enemies at the temple gates, Avi didn't see how Walter was fighting, but the shouts from a distance confirmed that Walter was still alive, and he was still knocking down the heavily armored infantry, rampage through the crowd like an uncontrolled bull.
"Captain Calton, we're alone!" Avi leaned against the wall, the hoplites were hard to kill, even though the white lion sword in his hand had been sharpened, but if he wanted to kill the enemy, he still had to pierce the opponent's armor vertically, or stab the exposed armor joints.
"Don't panic, those who remain in the banquet hall will definitely send reinforcements one after another, and isn't it a good opportunity now?" The old captain's white beard was already dyed red, but he was not injured at all, but looked very excited.
"Good chance?"
"Kill people with a knife! Hecker has so many subordinates, they can definitely kill Walter who has turned into a beast, and this result is the best result for Prince Bradley!"
"Captain Cowton..."
Cowton glanced at the enemies who were still pouring into the corridor, there were less than twenty members of the New Iron Wall Knights guarding the entrance of the corridor on this side, and Walter's men were killed while protecting Walter, "I have long put my old life on the line, I and they don't care if I die, if our side is surrounded by a large number of enemies, it means that Prince Bradley's side will be better." Besides, we will have the third prince to be buried with us... As long as His Highness Bradley can capture Rosemund and Gronos, we who die here will be worthwhile!"
Cowton's words made Avi's heart cold, and indeed as Cowton said, the more than twenty members of the New Iron Wall Knights regarded death as home. They blocked the entrance to the corridor with their bodies, and then attacked the hoplites, and no one took a step back. Including Cowton, they have realized that it is not Heck who has no way to escape, but the people who have been lured in here.
"Don't you have this realization!?" Cowton glared at Avi fiercely, "As a knight, you should sacrifice yourself and dedicate yourself to honor, and use the sword in your hand to protect the master you have sworn allegiance to, this is the glory of a knight! Even if it is death, you must die standing up! Die for your master!" Cowton did not pay any attention to Avi, but drew his sword, clenched his fist in one hand and rushed into the corridor with the sword in the other, joining the guard.
Avi was struck by Cowton's words, and he remembered the oath he had taken before Bradley, and for the first time he felt the weight of it, something he could not bear with all his strength. Still fearful and cowardly in his heart, Avi couldn't give everything he had as desperately as Cowdon, his hand holding the sword began to tremble, his lips trembled, and the sound of teeth clashing up and down came from his bones.
Another one fell ... Another one fell ... The entrance to the hallway is almost unguardable... Behind him is the empty queen's bedroom... There are only four walls inside... There's no going back... Avi's heart was suddenly overrun by fear, and he wished that the enchanted ring that Miranda had given him was still with him and still functioning, but now he only had a white lion sword and a fallen knight.
Avi stood up anyway, and he rushed to the entrance of the hallway, but as soon as he got close behind his companion, a huge blow knocked down the members of the Order in front of him, and he himself was knocked down with him. Avi, whose head hit the hard lump, suddenly burst into blood, the corners of his eyes were stuck with the blood flowing from his head, and his body also lost control at this moment, as if he had been anesthetic, his head was blank, and he could only open his eyes slightly.
It would be nice if Felistie was here. Avi suddenly appeared in her mind, and the other party could always appear when she was in danger and save herself. However, it was not Felisti who appeared in front of Avi, but Broken Eyebrow.
Broken Eyebrows helped Avi up and let Avi sit against the wall, "Are you still alive?"
Avi looked at the exit of the hallway, where a large boulder appeared, and under the stone were several members of the New Knights of the Iron Wall. Those who were crushed by the boulder were dying, but no one could lift the boulder, which was nearly two meters long and wide, and rescued them. There was blood stained all over the boulder, and some pieces of armor and flesh were hooked by the edges and corners of the stone, and the blood was still oozing out from under the boulder, all the way to Avi's feet.
