Chapter 35: Contradictions
Audrey wiped her tears and pleaded with a sob.
"Then can you spare my father?"
Wayne looked at such a beautiful girl crying with tears on her face, and suddenly felt a little heartache.
"I will do my best to ensure the safety of your father. ”
Audrey burst into tears and laughed.
"What did you say?"
Wayne was surprised, the girl didn't seem to care about the so-called throne, only her father's life.
"Don't you care about your throne, if I succeed, you Creon family will lose it. ”
Audrey whispered.
"I don't think the throne is a good thing. The second brother and the fourth brother fought to the death for the throne, and the other brothers and sisters would be fought against if they didn't choose a camp. I didn't want to participate, so I ran out. ”
Wayne was shocked, and just for some comfort, he revealed so many secrets. In fact, this is not a secret, but he is too far away from the imperial capital, so he doesn't know.
Audrey seemed to think of something again.
"Wayne, if you defeat Rune, aren't you the Emperor? Wayne, let me tell you, the throne is not a good thing, my father is busy all day. And there are many people who want to harm him, all of them are people who tend to be inflammatory, and they don't have any friends. But..."
Audrey's voice gradually became quieter, she has received royal education since she was a child and is familiar with history books, how can she not understand which man does not like the throne. In history, those people fought to the death for the throne, bleeding thousands of miles, and corpses were everywhere.
Wayne saw Audrey's thoughts.
"Audrey, I'm not going to be the emperor, I'm going to end the throne. ”
Audrey's eyes widened and she looked at Wayne incredulously.
Wayne continued.
"You may not believe it, but if I become emperor, others will call me Your Majesty, and my subjects will call me long live. That was my biggest failure. ”
Audrey looked at the man in front of her in disbelief, after all these months of getting along, she understood that Wayne was not joking now. And he said he did.
Said in shock.
"Without an emperor, wouldn't it be a great chaos in the world. ”
Audrey remembers this passage in the history books, when the royal family was destroyed and the nobles ceded their land. Fighting each other, wars broke out, and the world was in chaos.
Wayne smiled and shook his head.
"I can't explain it to you now, but I'll explain it to you later. Maybe ten years, twenty years. It won't take even fifty years for you to understand what I'm talking about. Let's go back and rest early. ”
Audrey knew that this man had a knack for standing out from the past, so he would do what he said.
Endeavor nodded.
Wayne stretched, mounted his horse, and walked back slowly.
Even if you don't fight, there are still a lot of trivial things, and maybe that's life.
Wayne took an early shower, ate a hearty dinner, and fell asleep in bed.
It was Wasser's situation that was not optimistic, and Willier, who was nearly sixty years old, inspected the city walls, and more importantly, comforted the soldiers. Originally, Vaser did not have the strong walls of the Black Chess City, and his own troops were greatly damaged. It's even tougher.
Originally, Wasser had a magician who was enshrined by Barnfinger, and Willier had a magician, so it would be easier to defend the city.
But a pig teammate is a pig teammate, and I can't wait to slaughter him!
This stupid pig actually sent a magician to blackmail Wayne, and Wayne was captured alive. It was inherently unjust, and there is nothing to say about such an ending.
But as a teammate of Barnfinger, Willier was miserable.
Moreover, Barn Finger had previously amassed windfalls and imposed harsh taxes. But in order to resist the elves, everyone endured. Now he's running away with the money. At that time, in order to control the chaos, Vaser even had to open the city gates and let some people out.
Of course, without exception, they were all captured by the elves as slaves, but fortunately the elves did not attack at that time, otherwise Vasser would have been breached. Since then, the civilians of Wasser City have also learned that there is no choice but to continue fighting!
But in the end, there is an emotion pressing on everyone's hearts, this is a time bomb, maybe it will explode at some point. Willier could only sigh, he didn't have a good idea.
We can only wait for the Imperial Army to come.
"Ah~!Save me!"
There was a cry for help from under the city wall, this was the soldier who had fallen from the wall during the day and was not dead. The soldier on duty did not wait for Willier's order to skillfully patch an arrow into the chest of the man who was calling for help.
Willier looked at this scene, angry, helpless, and powerless.
This is necessary, otherwise you will go and save him, the city gate cannot be opened until it is absolutely necessary. And this kind of person is generally in one breath, and even if he comes up, he can't be cured, and he waits for death in the hospital bed, and then throws it down.
Waiting for him to call him that, what kind of mood did the defenders hear?
In the end, one arrow was the solution, ending his pain and saving himself trouble.
Intellectually right, but Willyll, who gave this order himself, was tormented all the time. Is intellectually right, right?
The defenders of the city wall were all tired, and they had been fighting in the black chess city for nearly a month, and they had experienced a death-like encirclement. After resting for a few days in Vasser, he hurried into battle!
If physical exhaustion can be endured, then the mental blow is fatal. The Barn Finger he saw was fake, and even General Willier was lying to himself. Although General Willier is doing the right thing. But from the beginning, I knew that Barn Finger had escaped, why didn't he retreat, why did he still have to defend the city of Vasser.
I was originally stationed in the black chess market, and I was also fighting to the death in the black chess city, and I also did my duty. Why did you come to garrison Vasser?
For the safety of the civilians of Wasser?
What does that have to do with himself, his relatives have long since left, and Wasserli's people are just strangers to him. Why risk your life for a stranger?
Moreover, the other day, they rioted, and many brothers died for no reason.
Moreover, Vaser already had a city defense army, and there were quite a few of them.
But you still have to top it yourself!
Now you can't break through by yourself, and if you surrender, you will be used as a slave by the elves.
In short, these have nothing to do with Willier.
Willier can also detect the strangeness of the soldiers, but it is inconvenient for them to attack due to the current enemy!
At a young age, Willier showed great military talent, and his father was a famous general. Talent plus home learning, more hard work. All of this contributed to Willier's extraordinary military prowess.
So he dreamed of participating in a battle that would go down in history, but there had been almost no major battle on the frontier for more than forty years. Even if the elves come to rob the population every year, it is a small fight, and it is not in his eyes at all.
This elven attack was unlike anything else, and it was rare in terms of both the quantity and quality of the army.
finally came to a chance to become famous through the ages, but it turned out that people are not as good as heaven, this Barn Finger. Willier wanted to tear him to pieces.
If Barnfinger is here to stabilize the morale of the army and the people. Willier was sure that with the forces at hand, he would first inflict heavy damage on the elves, and then cooperate with the incoming Imperial army to strike a fatal blow.
It's a pity that there are no ifs!
Now Willier can only overdraw his political and military vitality, barely maintaining the army to fight against the elves, knowing that the Imperial army is coming.
It's just that after the victory, Willier will step down as commander-in-chief, and he will be scolded by this group of soldiers. The citizens of Wasser won't remember him well.
Is it worth it, it's worth it.
This is where he grew up, and he has a deep affection for it. The elves are never allowed to take possession unless they step over themselves.
