Chapter Seventy-Eight
When Schilling fell, the knights led by Eugene had already pounced on the terrace of the Hera Hotel. The rebel nobles are gone, and a storm that nearly destroyed the city of Muni has come to an end.
Darnell and other aristocratic private army generals in the army have seized power and removed from their posts. Natasha, Wells and a group of rebel lords were also arrested and imprisoned. The control of the city of Muni and the coalition forces was finally completely held by Eugene this time.
With power in his hands, Eugene issued orders one after another. First, the rebellion caused by the rebels was quelled, and then the original structure of the coalition army was redissolved, the troops of the local lords were dismantled and reorganized, a large number of new junior officers were appointed, and with the assistance of Mrs. Joyce, the plan for the rear army was immediately initiated.
The dark clouds that had gathered over the city of Muni in the morning had gradually dispersed by the afternoon. Only the bloodstains on the square that had not had time to be cleaned, told of the thrilling of that battle.
However, the impact of this turmoil did not disappear, but quickly spread to all corners of the empire with carrier pigeons and falcons rising into the air one by one. Its momentum was so fast and fierce that it was like a huge shock wave that swept across the entire Saint Solan Empire.
In the imperial capital, in the major provinces, in the border barracks, in the noble castles, everyone who received the news was dumbfounded,
Schilling lost? He lost?!
Not only that, but this second-level butler of the Lanris family, who has the strength of a glorious knight and a tough mind, was even so angry that he vomited blood and fainted!
This unbelievable news makes everyone completely unbelievable.
But soon, the details of the changes in Muni City were dug up. As more and more details were pieced together, the whole empire shook!
The message is true!
In this thrilling struggle. Schilling failed unexpectedly!
First, Joseph's attempt to steal the beams and change the pillars to make him swagger and take Wenger with him failed. Subsequently, Roy defeated Kevin strongly, and let this martial arts genius who stuck his sword at the gate of the first training camp and showed off his power for more than ten days became a complete joke.
Now people are saying. The reason why Roy was hiding at that time was not because he was afraid, but because he disdained to be like them. But who knows, Schilling and Kevin are shameless, and now, they were slapped in the face by others, and they are finally down-to-earth.
Then, the appearance of Eugene and those high-ranking knights directly announced the invalidation of Schilling's biggest hole card.
Things have come to this point. If you change someone else, I'm afraid it will have collapsed a long time ago. But Schilling can still hold on, and he is still thinking about the last fight. The tenacity of his mind is terrifying.
However, this is just his own humiliation.
Mrs. Joyce's final betrayal was a fatal one. This knife, and the previous series of blows, made Schilling finally understand. From beginning to end, he was played with by others.
He is the second-level butler of the Langrith family. He is also a knight of glory, arrogant and conceited, and he is extremely tenacious by nature, even if he has been repeatedly hit before, his face has not changed, but he has become stronger and stronger.
Merely. This series of defeats in front of everyone's eyes finally made him feel humiliated and resentful. This affection was suppressed until it was betrayed by Mrs. Joyce, and finally erupted like a volcano.
Everyone who saw this couldn't help but sigh. Don't talk about Schilling. Even if he is ten times more mentally tough, no matter how indomitable he is, he will not be able to bear it.
It's not strange that Schilling vomits blood, it's strange that he doesn't vomit blood!
And what everyone is most interested in is naturally not the loser Schilling. What everyone is most interested in is who set this vicious serial trap!
No one believes that this is just a coincidence. No one believed that it was designed by the unknown Eugene.
If it was Eugene, he only needed to seize control of Muni City, and there was no need to make any extraneous complications. And this person is obviously from the Langris family.
Whatever Schilling does, he does.
His purpose is to disgrace the Lanris family!
Importantly, he succeeded.
In the unintentional words of the Holy Maiden's envoy, the Lanris were almost crippled by him!
It is said that after this incident, the Holy Maiden Temple directly closed the door to contact with the Lanris family. The voices of the temple leaning towards the Lanrees vanished like fallen leaves after a gale. And Princess Eretia, who has been "cultivating" behind closed doors, reappeared after dozens of days.
Princess Elethea's parents, Edward I and the Empress, who were far away in the Solan Imperial Capital, went for a walk and chat in the garden for the first time after dinner that day. The husband and wife talked and laughed, and they seemed to be in a good mood.
Correspondingly, Nishizawa, the head of the Lanris family, sat quietly for several prayers after hearing the news. The chill emanating from his body made everyone tremble up and down Dragon Castle as if they were walking on thin ice. Even the patriarchs of the four major branch families and the elders of Lanris did not dare to disturb him. For fear of setting yourself on fire.
And the mother of Lord Scarlett, Her Royal Highness the Imperial Princess, was dining together with several noble ladies in the holiday estate. Hearing the news, she was still talking and laughing before, and her face suddenly turned blue with a spring breeze. Ignoring even the most basic etiquette, he left all the guests behind and walked away.
These are just a few small fragments of the spray that this shock wave stirred up. In the Saint-Soran Empire, I don't know how many people can't sleep at night, and I don't know how many people drive around the night to discuss and discuss.
Of course, these are all things that the big people worry about, political struggles, balance of interests, and other things are too far away from ordinary people. They can't reach them, and it doesn't have much to do with them.
All everyone cares about is that the city of Muni has regained its peace. It's just his own soldiers, and he didn't let the Lanrith's conspiracy succeed. It's just the topics they talk about.
Joseph became the most popular bishop of the city. The battle between Roy and Kevin was talked about again and again. Those high-ranking knights who came out of nowhere are the objects of everyone's speculation.
Of course, there are a lot of cokes in addition to that.
Everyone heard that it was just after taking down Schilling and the others. In the Coalition boot camp, a brawl broke out.
However, this time, it is not a conflict between the three major training camp students, nor is it a disagreement between the young and vigorous. Instead, hundreds of students from the three major academies joined forces and beat up the children of the family who had taken refuge in Schilling. Reputedly. Even star cadets like Pierre, Ranch and Voumsley took matters into their own hands.
was also beaten up, as well as Moon.
Although the envoy of the Crusade Army escaped arrest and imprisonment by virtue of his identity as an Crusade Army, when he left Muni City, he enjoyed the farewell ceremony of all the people of Muni City with rotten eggs and rotten tomatoes. was smashed with a blue nose and swollen face.
Many people were personally involved in this matter. Every time I talk about it, all of them are full of red light and foaming at the mouth. It seems that he is the most accurate to throw rotten eggs.
Whether it is a nobleman or a commoner. Although each reacted differently in this shock wave, everyone felt the same sense that the situation of the empire rushing to the abyss like a runaway carriage suddenly had a brief stagnation at this moment.
But. It is also known that the danger has not been completely lifted. Archduke Adolf was still under siege. Once he is defeated and killed, the situation in Lulian will deteriorate.
When the time comes, even if there are no Lanrees to make trouble, it will be difficult for Edward I to get through this hurdle. After all, it's not just the Lanris family who covet the throne. And for the lower classes, it meant the fall of Lulian. It means the destruction of the homeland, and the life and death of countless people.
At this moment, Saint-Solan is lively and silent.
While people talk about the changes in Muni City, they continue to look nervously. Throw yourself into the southern province of the country, which is in turmoil in blood and fire. It's just that in this gaze, there is a glimmer of hope.
"Maybe it's a turning point. ”
In his diary, Alvin, the royal historian who witnessed the Lulian Revolution, wrote.
"When this nerve-wracking storm stopped, my heart was still beating fast. I tried to calm it down, but I couldn't. ”
"I must admit that it was the most thrilling encounter I've ever experienced. She may not have the tragedy of the battlefield, or the heroism of thousands of troops fighting, but her thrilling journey is no less than any war I have read about in history books. ”
"As a historian, I should be neutral and faithful to record what I see and hear. However, in this diary of my own, I must say that as a native of Saint Solan, when Joseph laughed at Schilling, when that black-haired freshman defeated Kevin strongly, when Eugene led the charge of the Solan Knight, every cell of my body trembled and cheered!"
"I always thought that the situation in Lulian was out of control. The fall is already doomed. This is the torrent of history, and no one can undo it. But when I heard the knight's oath, and heard the thousands of people chanting in unison, long live Saint-Solan, fighting the rebels with their bare hands, I felt that I was wrong. ”
"Nothing is impossible. Like Schilling, when he led the rebel nobleman up to the terrace of the Hera Hotel and stood less than twenty meters away from me, he was already in control in the eyes of everyone, including me. ”
"But he lost so completely. ”
"In this storm, what impressed me the most was the scene when the camp gate was opened and the black-haired boy single-handedly came out. At that time, I felt a little sad, a little sad. A thin teenager, in the face of such a formidable enemy, his heroism, looks more like a ridiculous self-indulgence. ”
"Again, however, I say that I was wrong. The boy named Roy defeated the seemingly impossible opponent in a way that made people's blood boil, beautifully, and simply. When he finally lit the flame of magic in the realm of silence, my heart was lit up. I think it's a miracle and, perhaps, a revelation. ”
"We're not going to necessarily lose this war. Although the current Saint Solan is very weak, the strong enemy looks around. But no matter what the future holds, at least, we should hold our chests up and face it head-on!"
"Right now, I'm sitting in front of the window of my room at the Hera Hotel. Outside the window, there is the peaceful city of Muni. At this moment, she is so beautiful and peaceful. This made me more than ever believe in the miraculous existence of zài. "
"I know it's tough, but I'll be here and waiting. Perhaps, this is really a turning point. "
......
In the night, the camp in the south of the city of Muni is brightly lit. Thousands of soldiers and civilians. It's busy and nervous.
Huge bales of grain were loaded onto wagons, and bundles of hay were neatly piled up on hills.
Medicine, bandages, bundles of arrows, spears, and crossbows that had been dismantled into parts were poured out of the rear camp warehouses like flowing water. With a long queue of horse-drawn carriages, it was transported to the front.
The rear army of the Fano army has set out for the battle!
There was no ceremony, no cheering. Everyone was sweating and working under the lights, rushing to and fro. The barracks at this moment are like a silent beast. But everyone, can hear its powerful heartbeat.
"The Grand Duke is in danger!"
This was the first thing Percy said to Eugene, Roy, and the noble lords and generals gathered in the room at the beginning of the military council.
Ever since Roy, Percy, and Karenic had made a plan to rescue Archduke Adolf at the Green Tower Manor. Percy led a dozen bandit knights to Late Mountain, where Archduke Adolf was besieged.
Because before that, the bandit scouts had gone deep into the front line to obtain information on the exact location of the siege of Archduke Adolf. Therefore, this time Percy was familiar with the road, and soon, they were in a group, bypassing the blockade of the Phillips. Arrived at a small hill near the camel pass where Adolf was.
And there, they witnessed a terrible battle with their own eyes. Tens of thousands of Filies. Almost a night-to-day onslaught. The two sides set up in a small plain between the mountains, and every day, hundreds of soldiers died in the battle. Corpses are scattered in every corner of the battlefield.
If it weren't for the easy and difficult terrain of the camel pass behind Archduke Adolf, and the soldiers of the Bavarian Knights and the Coastal Mercenary Regiment as the main force under his command, they fought bravely and tenaciously, and caused a lot of losses to the Freeltes. I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it for a long time.
Even so, the situation of the Lulian Army is getting worse and worse.
The Firean army had already occupied a small mountain village less than five kilometers from the camel pass, and had transformed the place into a base camp for advances. Not only did they build high walls. An improvised road was built to the outside of the mountains. In this way, a large amount of grain, grass and materials will be continuously transported in.
Moreover, cavalry, who are not good at fighting in the mountains and jungles, can also drive straight into the battlefield and throw them directly into the battlefield.
And the most terrifying thing is that the Snow Wolf Knights, who have been on the periphery, and another Golden Knights called the Fallen Rock Knights, have begun to invest heavily in the attack on the Camel Pass after preliminary preparations.
The strength of these two knightly orders is extremely strong. The snow wolf knight's seat wolf can come and go in the mountain jungle like the wind, and has a stronger mobility ability than the Bavarian Knights, which are mainly war horses. And in the Fallen Rock Knights, there is a group of heavy knights with a number of 100 people. Every time they made a sortie, they were able to inflict heavy losses on the Lulian army.
After the crushing defeat of the sneak attack, the total number of troops under the command of Grand Duke Adolf now is no more than 10,000. During this time, nearly a third of the staff has been reduced. Even the thirty most elite Munich knights of the Bavarian Knights are now only thirteen. More than half of the losses were lost! This was unprecedented in the history of the Order.
When Percy returned, he didn't have time to contact Archduke Adolf. Seeing that the Grand Duke was in danger, he left half of the people in place to observe, waiting for an opportunity to contact the Grand Duke, and he hurried back. Just in time for the end of this storm, he pretended to be Mrs. Joyce's servant and dealt Schilling the fatal blow.
When Percy marked the number, deployment, and troop numbers of the Firet troops he brought back on the military map on the table, the room was already deadly silent.
Everyone looked at the map and their scalps tingled. Only Roy and the knights of the bandit army, the table is a little better. When Percy came back last night, he had already given a general account of the situation on the front. Compared to others, they are somewhat mentally prepared.
After a long time, the noble lords and generals in the army came back to their senses. Eugene frowned deeply and looked at Percy, "Say, what do you need us to do?"
Eugene's attitude is crisp.
In fact, from the beginning of the formation of this coalition army, neither Fano nor Eugene pinned their hopes of rescuing Archduke Adolf on this army.
The purpose of this coalition was only to take over the task of defending the defense line of the city of Muni, and to free the city guard of Muni, the last effective force of Lulian, to be thrown into the battle on the front line.
And for Fano's plan, Eugene is also very knowledgeable. See this map at this moment. He knew that the chances of Fano wanting to break through the siege of the Phillips head-on and rescue Archduke Adolf were almost zero.
Therefore, in the face of Roy and Percy, he did not hesitate to ask this sentence.
And the noble lords all around. I wasn't surprised at all.
Putting himself in a position of auxiliary, handing over the leadership of military deployment and command to the other side was not a difficult decision for Eugene.
Not to mention that in the previous conflict, it was Roy and these knights under his command who saved Lulian, just to say that the Percy he is facing at the moment, in terms of qualifications and experience, far surpasses him, an obscure third-level general of the empire who has never been in charge alone.
That's Percy the Blood Fox!
Eugene remembers now. Just now, when introducing this unremarkable-looking thin old man, the lords' eyes were extremely shocked.
There are not many famous generals in Saint Solan, but Percy, the blood fox, is definitely one of them!
Although the name has long since disappeared from people's ears, until now, there are still several classic examples of the military academy used to train military commanders in the military academy of Saint Solan, which were commanded by Percy the Blood Fox. In the Imperial Military. There are still many generals who are his former subordinates or students. Deeply influenced by him.
He is cunning, ruthless, and an outlier among commanders. If it weren't for the fact that he offended too many people and killed too much, so that after he lost his fighting spirit, he was suppressed by a group of sanctimonious noble lords, including the Holy See. With his ability, even if he is powerless, he can still have a place in the imperial army.
What shocked everyone was the legendary general. It actually appeared in the city of Muni.
And what makes everyone even more unbelievable is that this old man, who has miraculously regained his fighting spirit and has the strength of a five-star knight of Great Light, is actually one of Roy's followers.
At that time, the nobles stared at Percy and looked at Percy, and with each glance, they were more curious and in awe of Roy.
After the arrest of Natasha and the others, they had learned the whole thing from Mrs. Joyce's mouth. From taking down the logistics escort last night, to the surprise attack on Shannon Manor and the rescue of Eugene, to today's Nenadarnell and the outer town of Schilling, it can be said that Lulian's situation was completely reversed by Roy.
This fact shocked everyone.
Of course, no one believed that this qiē was all planned by Roy. Everyone instinctively attributed it to these famous followers around Roy.
But that's it, and it's enough to make people jaw-dropping. Percy, Auston, Algernon, more than twenty knights of glory, more than a hundred knights of justice, dozens of knights of bravery, right...... Don't forget, there's also a Dragon Gate Iron Gate Karenich who once appeared as a knight in the Grand Duke's Adolf's palace!
With such a prominent and powerful follower, everyone can't believe that Roy, this kid, used to be just a small handyman?
Mistaken, right?
Even if they are the children of those top wealthy families, how many can get the willing followers of strong people like Karenic and Percy?
Such a little handyman is even more generous than the master.
.........
His eyes were focused on Percy's body again.
Percy, on the other hand, turned to look at Roy. This scene was somewhat strange in the eyes of the noble lords next to him. They knew that Percy was Roy's follower, and that one qiē was dominated by Roy's will. However, at this level of military council, knowledge, strategy, and experience are the main things. What role can a teenager play?
Of course, Zhuyu, who had a strong fight for Xi Lin, was in front of him, and everyone remained silent tacitly.
One, they wanted to hear what Roy would say. Second, they have already made up their minds. No matter how naïve Roy made a judgment or an impossible plan, he just listened to it, and at most in the discussion that followed, he put it aside without a trace and came up with another set of plans.
In the eyes of everyone, Roy was lying on the huge wooden table, his upper body supported by his elbows, staring at the map, as if he had been fascinated...... (To be continued......)
