Chapter 370: Mandate of Heaven
"Anyway, now the royal capital is in chaos, and there are many lords who are dissatisfied with Pedro's imminent succession to the throne of duke, and openly shout that they will only be loyal to Garcia's orthodoxy and will not be loyal to their illegitimate sons, in short, my uncle thinks that he can take a gamble. ”
"He said it lightly, gamble, that's a gamble on my head!" Stannis shook his head, everyone present now knew that he was in collusion with the Imperial envoy, if Anne's big mouth went back and shouted about his little secret with his father, wouldn't it be spread throughout the principality the next day?
But it doesn't matter, since the duke sent someone to kill them, it means that the veil of hypocrisy has been torn off between them, and the contradiction has been completely made public, and in less than nine months, he will have to compete with the duke for the world, which is not the purpose of his purpose.
However, now that the number one general of the Garcia family, Hunian, no longer exists, coupled with the turmoil in the upper echelons of the entire kingdom, he is not without opportunities.
"Well, since so many people are optimistic about me, it seems a bit too much for me not to overthrow Garcia's throne, Charaki will go back with me after cleaning up all this place, now that my territory has enough money and food, it is not a problem to feed another army, but you can no longer use the name of the empire, now you are my third legion 'Mandate of Heaven', and you will be my legion commander!"
"Destiny...... Charaki repeated the name, as if immersed in the fateful meaning behind the words.
The Javelinmen brought by Charaki began to dismount and clean up the battlefield, because they had received orders not to leave a single person alive, so all those who surrendered and those who were seriously wounded were killed of course.
Although Stannis couldn't bear it, the command of this matter rested with Charaki, and she was determined to carry out the task assigned to her by Sean Bing, in order to speed up the efficiency, the infantry she sent to guard the entrance and exit also came in to examine the corpses together, and after half an hour, there was almost no gasping for breath on Garcia's side.
"It's almost time to clean up, we should go back too......" Stannis had just finished speaking, when suddenly a man jumped out of the pile of corpses not far away, instantly kicked the soldier on his horse down, and then grabbed the horse and fled.
"He's done, he'll hear what we've just said!, and we must not let him escape!" cried Stannis, who had no archers among the men he had brought, and who couldn't throw the Imperial javelin so late, so he could only watch the guy drift away.
But Charaki on the side didn't care at all, she just asked her lieutenant for a javelin.
Stannis didn't believe his eyes, "Colonel Charachi, you have to have a limit to what you mess around! He's at least 200 meters away from us, and you're going to poke him with a javelin that is only 98 meters old in this world record!"
But Charaki didn't pay attention to him, she just exhaled calmly, and in an instant her right arm holding the javelin suddenly swelled, full of muscles like King Kong Barbie. Then, with just a flick of her hand, the javelin easily broke through the limit and pinned Garcia's soldiers, who had already run 200 meters away, to the ground.
Looking at the silly Bai Tian next to him, who suddenly transformed into a sister, Stannis suspected that something was wrong with his eyes, but then he noticed that Charaki's bruised, muscular, thick arm was covered with tattoos, and these patterns were exactly the same as the spell marks on those black watchmen's bodies?
"How do you ......"
Charaki looked up, her thick arms returning to normal as if they had been deflated, and she smiled innocently, "After receiving the power of the Awakened, I am the first test subject of Duke Garcia, but I am a failure. ”
What! Could it be that Charaki was also the Black Watchman? But how could she be the niece of Sean Bernard?
Charaki seemed to see his doubts and explained intimately, "I am not related to Uncle Sean Bing, after becoming a loser and abandoned by Blackwatch, it was he who took me in, and declared that I was his niece, and under his careful care, I was able to control the power of the spell seal. ”
No wonder she was stupid enough to climb to a high position, and with this unicorn arm, she would also promote her to be an officer, "Then you are always so forgetful......"
Charaki's cheerful personality made her not mind this in the slightest, "Yes, if you are not an Awoken, using the spell mark will have serious consequences, and my consequence is that I will lose my memory." ”
Suddenly, Stannis found out that this stupid eldest sister who had been teased by him turned out to be so miserable, and Stannis suddenly felt guilty about his previous behavior.
"But it doesn't matter, since you call me Destiny, maybe that's my mission!"
Looking at her carefree smile, Stannis wanted to hug her a little, but Robert had already taken the lead, "Boss, you already have three lovers, it's my turn this time, Xia Laiqi, in fact, I'm Stennis!"
Stannis shook his head helplessly, then kicked it away, telling Charaki to escort the ladies back to Dongjing first.
Soon, only Stannis and his allies were left here.
"What do you think?" Stannis knew it was time for a showdown, and his allies would either choose to fight alongside him or quit out.
Although the wounds on his body were not yet healed, Hillier directly drew his sword and handed it to Stannis with both hands, "I will swear allegiance to you to the death." ”
"Don't you have to answer so quickly? after all, you are just married, and before your honeymoon is over, you rebelled with me. Besides, it's Garcia that we're fighting this time, won't your wife object?"
But Hillier directly retorted: "As long as Garcia sits on the throne for one day, do you think I will be happy with Sophia? As for Sophia's father, I will explain it to him later." ”
"What about you?" Stannis asked Randall and Barrow again.
Without the slightest hesitation, the two lords drew their swords and handed them over like Hillier.
"There's nothing more to say! You never abandoned us, how can we not fight for you!" the outspoken Barrow directly said his thoughts, and Lan Dole on the side also nodded solemnly to show that he had no second heart.
Now that his staunchest ally is already standing on his side, Stannis must not back down, he has made up his mind.
"Boss, what are you going to do?" asked Robert next to him curiously.
Looking at the cold burial valley full of white bones and corpses, Stannis knew that he had reached the Duke and would walk through the mountains of corpses and blood, but he did not hesitate to draw his sword and shout at the sky.
"Since Duke Garcia wants war, then we will give him war!"
