Chapter 505: The True King Returns
From the window of the inn, the army in the distance was only a vague shadow.
But if you stand on the streets at the entrance of the town, you will see a group of soldiers roaring angrily. In the darkness of the night, with their swords in hand, they rushed towards the scattered guards patrolling the streets of the town.
At that moment, thousands of households in Changhe Town were awakened, and the lights came on again in a whole row of dark windows.
"What's going on?"
"Oh my God, there are so many people, they can't be robbers......"
Mixed with horror and confusion, people hurriedly got up from the bed, closed the window and locked the door, took out the hidden weapon from under the bed, and held the weapon with their wives and children and shrunk in the corner.
They didn't know what was going on, but they knew in their hearts that the guards in the town would not be able to stop so many people.
And as the guards themselves, they were directly in front of the countless soldiers' charges, and there was even a momentary blank in their minds. They hadn't drawn their weapons yet, they had torches in their hands, and they were still chatting with their companions just now. In a hurry, they threw their torches aside, trying to draw their weapons to meet the enemy.
However, they didn't even have a chance to shout a word before they were overwhelmed by thousands of soldiers.
"Oh no! it's an enemy attack!"
There must have been more than a few guards in the town, and the rest of the people woke up from their beds when they heard the shouts of killing, rushed out into the street with their weapons, and gradually gathered together.
"Who the hell is it? How could anyone attack here?"
"I don't know...... What about the mayor?"
"I don't have time to care about so much, hurry up!"
However, when they ran all the way, turned a few corners, and saw in the distance the army of a thousand men led by the king, they could not help but be stunned.
"My God, how can there be so many?"
"What to do...... Is it the army? Ikor is coming?"
The leader-like figure in one of them immediately let out a roar of rage, shaking the guards of the Six Gods and Masters. Then, the captain glanced at the soldiers rushing in the distance and couldn't help but swallow.
"I—let's surrender. ”
The guard on the side was stunned: "This ...... Is that okay? The mayor is not here, so we will surrender. If we are pursued later, we will all be hanged!"
The captain clenched his fists, trying not to keep himself from trembling, and said, "It's okay...... I've heard the mayor say that if Ikor calls, he would just surrender. This is an order from above, and several cities have done it. ”
"Really, really?"
"No matter, surrender! We can't beat so many people. ”
"I ...... I ......"
In the end, this group of local guards, who also had two or three hundred people gathered, gradually suppressed the fighting spirit in their hearts after a short exchange. They looked at the menacing soldiers in front of them, suddenly threw down the big sword in their hands, held their heads in both hands, and slowly squatted on the ground.
Heard...... Ikor's army doesn't just slaughter civilians—they thought to themselves.
As long as you surrender obediently, you can guarantee the safety of the town.
In the face of such a group of guards in a surrender posture, the speed of the soldiers' charge gradually slowed down in the distant streets. Then, suddenly, they raised their big swords in their hands, as if they were some kind of honor guard, and as they walked forward, they shouted the slogan of Qi Shushu:
"The country is in decline! The puppet emperor is incompetent! Cut off the cross! The true king returns!"
The loud sound echoed over and over again in the town of Changhe, to the ears of the guards who surrendered, to the ears of the common people, like the minute hand sliding past twelve o'clock.
Everyone was stunned at that moment.
The people who were huddled in the corner, suddenly like crazy, rushed to the window, and looked out with wide eyes.
I saw that a middle-aged man wearing a gorgeous robe and a crown was floating above the army of thousands of people at the moment, with his arms outstretched, his expression solemn, and his eyes straight ahead.
"That's ...... Your Majesty?"
"Could it be, could it be that the rumors are true......
The soldiers' slogans continued, giving them goosebumps and scalps tingling.
And the king flew at the front of the procession, leading the procession slowly - this scene fell into the eyes of the people, and for some reason, the word "lighthouse" came to mind.
The march of the army was so resolute that it seemed that even if Ikor's army of mages were ahead, they would crush the enemy to ashes.
Can...... This kind of firmness seems to have become a little strange.
And at this moment, the guards who were in front of the team were also hot in their brains, and they had the urge to leave tears in their eyes. Their bodies trembled slightly, as if something was vibrating in their chests, about to burst out of their shells.
...... Is it really Your Majesty?
They have heard the rumors of the true and false kings. They didn't know whether they should believe it or not, but when Ikor's army drove in and the royal family did nothing, there was always a glimmer of hope in their hearts.
Wish...... There is a true king who can descend from the sky to protect their homeland.
Most people did not dare to speak out of this thought, nor did they dare to question all the orders from the "king" in the palace of Glori. However, they did not expect that such a scene would befall their Changhe Town that night.
- This ordinary town.
"Mother, is that person really His Majesty?"
"Wrong, can't be wrong! I've seen His Majesty's portrait so many times, it's really him! He's back!"
Wherever the army and the king passed, from street to street, locked doors opened as if by magic. Wrapped in coats and carrying oil lamps, people leaned out of the door and looked at the army that was gradually moving away, and they were stunned.
Soon, the lights were lit up throughout Changhe Town. This small town, which has always had the habit of going to bed early, is suddenly as brightly lit as the long wine-colored street in a big city.
And every street where the king flies over, people worship it.
"Your Majesty is really back......"
In the inn room, the merchant Hal stood by the window, looking at the army and the king who had just passed down the street, muttering to himself. He had always believed in the money in his hands, but at this moment, he was inexplicably relieved.
I should be able to do business well in the future......
He turned his head to say something to Benjamin, only to find that Benjamin had disappeared from his inn room.
Hal was stunned, then laughed dumbly.
Whose credit could it be that the king flew in the sky? Master Benjamin must have left long ago. I was so engrossed by the window that I didn't even notice that people were gone.
Hal shook his head helplessly.
However, my trip to Changhe Town was really not in vain.
He leaned on the edge of the window, looked at the back of the king of China in the sky, and couldn't help but think so.
"Cut off the cross? What a big breath! A bandit who stole the crown and dared to say that he was His Majesty the King today, is this a little too bold?"
However, just as the army was approaching the center of the town, a question, as if blessed by some magic, suddenly came from the sky, and suppressed the slogans shouted by a thousand people.
Everyone was stunned.
The marching army stopped, and the king frowned as he looked in the direction of the sound.
I saw that in the night sky in the distance, a figure shining with holy light suddenly flew over. When I got closer, I looked closely, no, it was two figures, an old man with bare wings on his back, and he carried another old man in his hand.
Looking at the two uninvited guests in the sky, the army's slogans also stopped, and the high-pitched atmosphere in Changhe Town dropped to freezing point at this moment.
The guard who followed the army raised his head, looked twice, and suddenly showed a shocked expression.
"That's ...... Mayor Mare?Why did he run there?and...... Who's that guy carrying the mayor?"
Just when the whole scene suddenly froze, suddenly, another figure flew up from the army. He was wrapped in a pitch-black robe, with some messy brown hair under the hood, and his pale face looked very young.
"It's you. Benjamin flew in the sky, looked at the elderly bishop in front of him, and said slowly, "Okay Glory, I want to run to this town." Can't you be a little more settled, a bishop?"
