Chapter 492: The King's Speech

"Village Chief, do you really want to fight against those bandits, General, we have nothing to do with those people, don't arrest us!"

After a long stalemate, neither the village chief nor the general retreated.? Huo Ran?Wen ??? ??? However, a villager suddenly ran out of his house, ran to the entrance of the village with a panicked face, and pulled the village chief to say this.

"Gary, what are you doing?" the village chief's face suddenly changed.

"I ...... I'm saving everyone!" The villager was glared at by the village chief, a little weak-hearted, but he still didn't retreat, but ran towards the general.

The village chief was a little flustered, covering the other party's mouth, trying to push the villager who suddenly jumped out back. But General Krest stretched out his hand, and together with a few soldiers, pulled the guy named Geri over.

"General, you ...... You can't do that!" said the village chief quickly.

General Lester ignored him at all, but stared at the villager and said slowly, "Where are the wanted fugitives? Are they really in this village?"

The villagers were also a little scared when he was stared at by the general, but he still mustered up his courage and said, "They ...... The village chief hid them in his home. ”

When General Lester heard this, a smile finally appeared on his face.

"Harboring a wanted criminal, you are so bold. He turned his head to look at the village chief and said coldly, "Now that someone has testified, what reason do you have to stop us?"

He ...... Gehry has gone mad! His words don't count. The village chief was sweating on his head, but he still said strongly.

General Lester snorted coldly and shook his head.

"He's crazy? I think you're crazy. He took two steps forward, pushed the man away, and shouted, "There is a testimony that the village of Kerr harbors fugitives." I now honor the king's will, and put an end to the bandits, and whoever tries to stop him will be guilty of the same crime!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand at the army behind him.

"Search for me. ”

The village chief was pushed aside. His mouth opened as he watched the soldiers rush towards the village, but in the end, he still didn't say anything.

There's no way to stop it......

He stared at Geri, who was hiding behind the general, and his heart was cold.

However, just as the soldiers had just stepped into the village.

"Unreasonable, bullying innocent people, is this what you have done to this country after I appointed you as the general of Caritus?"

Around the corner, the figure wearing a crown and a fine costume walked out.

The soldiers couldn't help but stop their steps.

“...... Your Majesty?"

"It's a liar, not Your Majesty. General Lester strode forward at this moment, and his deep voice was like thunder, waking the soldier from his stupor.

Then the soldiers faced the king and looked at him with hostility again.

However, in the face of the army with no end in sight, the king did not show any cowardice, but said solemnly: "It is a sad that as soldiers who defend Karitus to the death, you do not even know who your sword should be pointed at. ”

The soldiers looked at each other, seeming to hesitate.

But the king did not cease to speak.

"I, Louis Hesson, was born in the spring of the year 227 of the Imperial calendar. My father made me the crown prince on the same day, and my queen mother made a wreath of grass for me with her own hands with mistletoe. Then, my father died violently, the empire collapsed, and my siblings were betrayed one by one, leaving only loyal soldiers to help me build Carretus from the ruins of the empire. Soldiers, look what you are doing? You have broken your oaths, you have lost all the glory of your ancestors. ”

His voice had never been louder and more powerful than it was today, like a bell ringing in the middle of the night, echoing over the village.

The soldiers stared blankly at the king.

They still had their weapons in hand, but no one took another half step forward.

"You...... Don't believe him, he's a liar. General Lester was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses. He looked at the king with some hesitation, and then spoke again, "Our Majesty is in Glory, not ......."

However, he was interrupted by the king in the middle of his sentence.

"Lester Dunphy. You're Matt Dunphy's son, and Brand's grandson. The king said slowly, "You have served the royal family for generations. Your grandfather died in the Valley of the Broken Army, and your father died at the end of November of the 239th year of the Empire. They have all made great achievements, died defending their homeland, earned supreme glory for your family, and are honored after their deaths. But...... What about you?"

"I ......" General Lester frowned, as if trying to justify.

But the king said sharply: "You don't distinguish between right and wrong, and surround the king with an army, not only will your father's efforts be in vain, but these loyal soldiers will be accused of disloyalty because of your stupidity." General Rest, you should be ashamed of that. ”

General Lester looked at the king and opened his mouth wide, but said nothing.

For a moment, the entire village fell into a deathly silence. Even the village chief and the villagers on one side, looking at the king at the moment, couldn't help but have an urge to worship.

The king shook his head at the army.

"What are you doing here, don't get out of here!"

When the soldiers heard this, they looked at each other, and some of them even hesitated to turn back, as if they were ready to obey the king's command and withdraw from the village.

However, General Lester gradually came back to his senses.

"No...... He is not Your Majesty. His face was a little pale, and he wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and said, "He is just a liar who has stolen the palace and the coat of arms, and has tried to subvert the whole of Carretus." ”

As he spoke, he took out a token from his waist and held aloft in his hand the token of commanding the army.

Suddenly, the atmosphere at the scene took a sharp turn again.

It's stubborn......

The king sighed inwardly.

"General Rest, do you remember this?" he suddenly pulled out a piece of letter from his pocket and shook it in front of the other man's eyes.

“...... What's that?"

General Lester frowned, and took a few more steps, trying to read the letter in the king's hand.

However, at this moment, a faint wave of magic suddenly came out from the house on his right. Suddenly, General Rester's face changed drastically, and he turned around and wanted to rush back into the soldiers.

"Hmph...... It's late. ”

A playful female voice reached his ears.

At that moment, before anyone else present realized what was happening, a black shadow suddenly appeared, like a ghost, and flew straight towards General Lester in the bright daylight!

General Lester was fast enough, but unfortunately, he was too close to the shadow.

In the blink of an eye, the black shadow suddenly unfolded, like a huge cloak, covering his whole body and binding it firmly. In a panic, the general struggled frantically, but soon, he felt that the strength of his whole body was draining, and after a while, he could not even exert any strength.

Then the black shadow enveloped General Rest, flew to the king's side, and threw him on the ground like a captive.

Only then did the soldiers react and wanted to rush over to rescue the general.

"Don't move, or I'll kill him." Leila flew out of the room, came behind the king, grinned at the soldiers, and said so.

The soldiers stopped suddenly.

At the same time, nine other mages also came out of the corner of the village and stood with the king. Some of them had a fire in their hands, some had a floating stone under their feet, and some had a crystal of ice flying above their heads...... Ten men lined up in different positions, with the king of Carretus standing beside him, and the defenseless General Lester lying at his feet.

"I really deceived the general, and I did a good job. Tony turned his head to the side and whispered to the King.

The king smiled and said nothing.

Then, they turned their heads together, facing the army at the entrance of the village, and invariably showed a smile.

"What are you looking at, do you want to see the flames of the old lady's forbidden spell?"

At this moment, even the villagers on the side involuntarily held their breath and widened their eyes, as if they were ...... They're watching something amazing.
