Chapter 689: The Broken Fortress III (Page 1/1)

"What's going on? Who lowered the drawbridge!?"

Charlie shouted, the fire burning inside the walls made him very uneasy, and at this time he found that the gates guarded by his squadron were slowly beginning to open.

Charlie had been the captain of the guard at the Third Gate for three years, and he would have had the option to retire after a year.

The Empire's retirement benefits are still very high, and for a veteran who is already in his forties, there is nothing more to look forward to than retirement.

Yes, Charlie didn't want to serve in the Imperial Army all the time, he wanted to retire and become a lecturer to teach young children how to be a knight.

Zha wants to play with his grandson and granddaughter and grow up with them, and he just wants nothing to happen to him in his office.

The war still came, Charles's two sons left the imperial capital, leaving behind their wives and children, and in the war with the Holy Alliance, there has been no news for more than a year......

Old Charlie stood on the city wall and saw the cavalry led by Long Hui on the opposite side, and they made a detour and a half and then attacked the city gate here.

"Quick, activate the ballista, turn, can't these damn guards down there stop these rioters?!"

Charlie looked at the commotion from the inside of the city wall, he became more and more uneasy, he was no longer able to prevent the opening of the city gate, could it be that the Motu Empire was going to be broken for the first time since the founding of the city......

Charlie knew that everything had started the day before yesterday, from the time the captives entered the city......

On the day of the fall of the Elegy Fortress, when the imperial capital received the news, the entire government and the opposition were moved, and the crown prince of the prison country ordered martial law throughout the city, and at the same time summoned mercenaries to other villages and towns in the region to prepare for the enemy, but most of the royal knights who gave these orders were intercepted by Charlotte.

The Elegy Fortress is the barrier of the imperial capital, and the fall of the fortress means that the entire imperial capital is directly exposed to the enemy.

"But the enemy is only a few thousand!"

The Minister of Defense of the Empire is trying to convince the crown prince to take the initiative to destroy the enemy forces outside the city.

The crown prince sat in a smaller chair next to the throne, he could not achieve that position at this time, his eyes were completely here, and he did not pay attention to what the minister said.

When the minister raised his voice again and hoped for the prince's permission, he was drowned out by the rebuke of the other ministers.

"Shut up, do you want the Imperial Capital to fall like the Elegy Fortress, are you as stupid as that Marquis of the Elegy Fortress?"

"His Royal Highness the Prince, don't be fooled by the villain, the walls of the empire are not to be broken by them even if they attack for half a year, and now as long as the emperor returns, those people will be tied to the stake of fire to thank the gods for their protection!"

"Your Highness, I think we should immediately close the imperial capital, and then let the surrounding villages and towns be armed to slow down the enemy's attack......

......

When there was endless argument in the imperial palace, outside the gate of the imperial capital, tens of thousands of troops appeared, and they were also soldiers from their own side.

However, they were in rags, and almost all of them had their hair slumped weakly, looking more like a team of refugees.

But they were indeed warriors of the Empire, some were knights of the Elegy Fortress and Dirk City, and many were even lords of the Empire.

The guards at the city gate naturally recognized the military magnates among them, but after such a large number of prisoners of war were released, the captain of the guard did not dare to call the shots, so he hurriedly sent someone to ask the prince for instructions.

The huge imperial capital, even from the city gate to the imperial palace in the inner city, it takes more than ten minutes to speed the horse, plus the cumbersome procedures to enter the imperial palace, and by the time I met the prince, nearly an hour had passed.

"Tens of thousands of prisoners of war were released?"

The crown prince's eyes finally took his eyes off the throne, because he heard something very interesting.

"What, the captives were just released?" the prince asked the guards guarding the city.

"Yes...... Yes, Your Highness, there are tens of thousands of people, and we dare not make a claim, so please make it clear to Your Highness. ”

"Huh!"

The prince was faintly amused, "This is really a crude trick!"

The crown prince of the Mexican Empire, Odek Alef, is only twenty years old.

He is not the eldest son, and according to legal theory, the position that he should even be the crown prince should be unfatal.

However, he inherited the same mind as his mother, that is, Princess Sona of the empire, Princess Sona gained the power to surpass the queen step by step in the harem of the empire, and her son also squeezed out the previous brothers step by step, and then when the emperor was away, he naturally became the crown prince of the country.

Now, he thinks that his wisdom can finally be displayed in front of his ministers.

"Such a clumsy plan can only be imagined by the southern barbarians!"

The crown prince has always been disdainful of that rumor, that is, the youngest and best lord in the history of the continent, Xiuin Neumann.

A war of barbarians, what is there to discuss?

Now, the opportunity to compete with the barbarians has come, and the prince can see the other party's intentions at a glance, "They must have planted their spies in these captives sent back, and they want to infiltrate the imperial capital, hehe, ridiculous, go down, send more people, and give me one by one check!"

"Yes, it's Your Highness!"

The guards hurried back to carry out the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"Your Highness Shengming!"

"The glory of Your Highness is with the Motu Empire!"

"These barbarians also want to hide from His Highness's eyes......"

The ministers are all flattering the crown prince, even the defense minister of the imperial capital can't say anything, His Royal Highness's consideration is correct, and the enemy is likely to have planted a spy in it.

So the tens of thousands of soldiers and some of the people who arrived at the Imperial Capital in the afternoon were outside the city and waited until late at night to be interrogated.

The result is that everyone's identity is waiting to be confirmed.

There are no spies!

"It can't be!"

The crown prince shouted from the main hall, "There is definitely a problem, isolate all the people in the Elegy Fortress from me and keep them under strict control!"

More than 20,000 soldiers of the Elegy Fortress were placed in a deserted construction site in the imperial capital, because the imperial capital could not have more cells to hold them for a while.

A warrior who had been hungry all day was impossible at this time without complaining.

And those who were anxious to show merit to the crown prince took away at this time those who picked on their hair and complained, and these people were accused of being spies.

The evidence was also falsified, and it was easy to make a confession, just beat these fighters out of human shape, and then just press them directly with their bloodstained hands.

So the next day, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince laughed heartily in the main hall, "Reward, reward!"

Food, water, disappointment, when these things are mixed up, the warriors of the Elegy Fortress look at the eyes of those "compatriots" who guard them, already with disgust and hatred......
