Chapter 382: The Duke's Son
Without waiting for the baron to finish, Batesmore slashed his throat with a sword, and a white mass of free souls was once again absorbed by his blue-glowing soul-slaying sword, but Batesmore seemed unhappy, for it was not the soul of a very evil man.
"Hey, I said, you're too active in killing people, can you let me earn some military merit too!"
Behind him came the dissatisfied voice of Ergou, facing a group of knights, the enemies were still more afraid of this black-armored warrior who could tear people apart with a single sword.
Batesmore didn't answer him, he just looked up, and the airship had lost its stealth camouflage, revealing its huge airbag hovering overhead.
These two stealth airships were used by Black Watch to raid them during the last blood wedding, and after solving the killer sent by the duke, Stannis also naturally laughed at the two loot, but after pulling them back to the territory, Stannis found that no one would open this kind of black technology, and finally relied on the help of engineer Speer to barely figure out the working principle of the airship, Stannis also asked Speer to reverse engineer the construction drawings of the airship to prepare for a few copycats, but the cost of up to 20,000 gold coins each discouraged Stanis, he decided to transform the two airships firstAfter the engineers worked around the clock, the transport compartments of the two airships were expanded, which were originally limited to 25 people at a time, but now can accommodate 50 people.
In this raid, Stannis asked Bates Moore to lead the team himself, and let his three allies and Old Man Romon also obey his command, as the captain of the mercenary who licked the blood on the knife, Batesmore was undoubtedly the best person to launch the raid.
The camp, which had now been burned by the flames, had shown that the group had finally completed their mission, and now it was up to Stannis.
"Rush!"
Now Stannis is at the best of his life, because a real victory has been taken, and the goddess of victory is smiling at him.
"Sir. Stan, take it easy. Cortana painstakingly persuaded that there were too many generals in history who died in pursuit of victory because of victory, and she didn't want the first lord she served to follow in their footsteps.
But Stannis waved his hand indifferently, for they had completely surrounded, or rather encompassed, a small part of the advancing knights.
After the infantry who were supposed to support dispersed, the knights who had fought bloodily on the front line also began to waver, but the honor of the knights prevented them from retreating.
However, after completely driving those infantry away from the battlefield, Charaki, who had been hiding in the woods, led the javelin cavalry back, and those knights were certainly not fools waiting to be surrounded and annihilated, such as Earl Snake, who was very clever enough to grab a horse and immediately flee the battlefield.
With the commander as an example, most of the knights and servants followed suit, and by the time Characi and Stannis had completed the siege, there were no more than 100 knights and 200 servants left in the encirclement, but those who remained were the ones who valued honor the most, and they seemed to be fighting to the death and not surrendering.
And Stennis is surrounded by his troops, and if the knights do not surrender, they will be met with the fate of being stabbed to death by random guns.
But a living knight often means a large ransom, and Stannis won't let the gold he gets his hands escape, and the Southern Coalition has been defeated by him anyway, and he has time to spend a day with these guys.
"Boss, what do you think of the voice I just shouted?"
A guy dressed as a knight of the South took off his helmet and showed Robert's smiling face from underneath, shouting from the coalition side. We're defeated, run for your life' guy is Robert, and the secret mission he accepted was to disguise himself as a knight of the South to infiltrate it, because Robert had been educated in this area as the heir to the duke, and knew which family's knight wore the coat of arms so that he would not be able to see through it, and spent three days completely lurking in the enemy army, only when the time was right, he jumped out to shake the army's heart, and it seemed that the plan he and Stannis made was a great success.
"Yes, it's a good job, it looks like I can't keep you without giving you a raise. ”
When Robert's eyes lit up, Stannis certainly wouldn't let him relax, "By the way, you come with me, there is still something you need to help with." ”
"Isn't it!"
Robert was about to complain when he was caught by Stannis, and then the troops surrounding the knights made way for him to enter.
Passing through the crowd, they finally stood in front of the besieged knights, who formed a circle like the last old guard of Waterloo and pointed their guns and swords at the perimeter to indicate that they would never surrender.
However, they were still amazed when they saw Count Stagnis, as a commander, that he appeared so closely, and if someone shot a dark arrow, it would be the Count's death day next year. But as knights, they certainly don't do that if they believe that 'glory is my life'.
Stannis was also convinced that this was the reason why he came to persuade him to surrender himself, but more because he knew that ordinary bows and arrows could not survive his dragon sound dark armor.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it was a good battle, but you lost!"
Stannis used a dragon's roar to make the sentence sound more imposing.
But no one on the other side answered him, they just looked at the dragon terrorist in silence, with disdain in their eyes, because the current Stannis is not a heroic rebel in the eyes of the rest of the principality, but a rebel who wants to use the hand of the empire to subvert their rule, as a descendant of Ilisses, Stannis is not qualified to be a duke at all, because the Justinian family has always looked down on other lords of the Duchy of Tanis, they only intermarry with the royal family of the former Ilisses or the royal family of the Condor Empire, for example, Stannis's mother is actually the daughter of a certain prince, which is also the legal basis for Stannis as the 1036th heir to the imperial throne.
"Phew!"
Stannis sensed that more than one person was spitting on him to show his contempt, but instead of having his men kill all the knights who had no one in sight, he calmly reasoned with them.
"I know why you're so hostile to me......" But before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a shouting from the other side.
"Traitor!" "Lackeys of the Condor!"
Stannis was still not angry, "But there is also a legal basis for my rebellion against the empire this time, that is, ......"
He said as he pulled Roberta, who was hiding backwards, in front of him.
"I'm going to help reclaim the throne that belongs to him!"
