Chapter Ninety-Eight: Taking Over Siegburg
"Boom".
With a loud bang, the east and west gates of Siegburg opened at the same time, followed by a dense number of footsteps, which gradually became smaller from east to west.
Some of the people in the city woke up from their sleep, but they did not go out to watch, but covered their heads with their bedding, trembling with fear.
The defenseless Siegburg was thus exposed in the darkness of the night, and a man in armor rode a war horse to look at the open east gate, and quickly turned the direction and galloped towards the rear.
"The east gate of the Pope and Siegburg has been opened, and all the soldiers have been evacuated." The probationary paladin hurried up and shouted to Paul on his horse.
Paul couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this news, and subconsciously instructed Andre beside him: "Go ahead, and completely return Siegburg to the divine light of my lord."
"Yes". André replied loudly to Paul.
Gently patting the horse's back, he slowly stepped forward, drew his heavy sword and shouted: "Attack, take Siegburg".
"Yes". The three hundred apprentice paladins shouted in unison, turning into a torrent and rolling forward.
Watching the crowd leave, Paul also patted his horse's back, and slowly walked forward with Jenny and thirty priests.
Jia Changsheng touched his nose, looked at the war horse with a little envy and fear, and then walked forward with his legs open. Compared with horseback riding, he still stubbornly believes that walking is the healthiest and most environmentally friendly exercise. Well, it's actually a little bit of sickness.
......
Outside the west gate of Siegburg, Francis, who had been waiting for a long time, looked at the non-moving front and faintly felt a hint of ominity rise in his heart.
Looking at Karl on the side, he subconsciously asked him, "What about General Charlie, why have we waited so long, and he hasn't arrived yet?"
"How can the speed of the march be predicted when marching in the mountains and forests?" Carl whispered to Francis.
Then he changed the conversation: "But General Charles must arrive tonight, and if General Charles happens to see the baron's attitude, I'm afraid it's a little bad."
"I'm sorry, I was just worried about the security in Siegburg, after all, there isn't even a single soldier in Siegburg now." Francis spoke slowly to Carl, but the ominousness in his heart grew even thicker.
Karl looked up at the sky: "At this time, the people in the castle are sleeping soundly, and Baron Francis's worries are a little too much."
"Besides, you only have 400 soldiers here, and you don't know where the other 300 are." Karl asked rhetorically at Francis.
Francis's heart sank suddenly: "There are also three hundred soldiers who are seriously wounded and resting in the barracks, so they cannot come."
"It's okay, it's all insignificant, just wait for General Charles to come and ask the baron to be respectful. After all, not everyone is your friend like me and can tolerate your temper." Karl whispered to Francis.
Francis sighed in his heart, and then shut his mouth.
The eyes of the ten El County Cadet Warriors flashed with excitement, and they wondered what a rich reward the Lord Viscount would give at the thought of having accomplished such a great feat.
Thinking of the joy, these ten people couldn't help but want to laugh out loud, but fortunately, they were afraid of the sad atmosphere here, so they endured it stubbornly.
"Stepping on ......".
The sound of horses' hooves came from behind him in the direction of Siegburg.
Francis and the others were stunned at first, and subconsciously stepped forward to greet them, but they saw that it was pitch black ahead. There were no torches and no figures, but ...... behind.
Wait, back?.
A look of horror appeared on the faces of the hundreds of people at the same time, and they all turned around to look without commanding.
I saw countless torches behind me like long dragons, and the fighting spirit was shining under the night.
"Praise be to my lord, Karl on such a great deed". Andrei galloped and shouted.
At the same time, he looked at Alberta, and his eyes flashed with a hint of envy and jealousy: "Judge, you are a lucky person, why don't you attribute this matter to my Holy Knights."
"Then you should ask the Pope and the Wise". Alberta replied to Andre despite everyone's fear.
Twenty knights of the Judgment bowed to Andrei: "I have seen Captain Andrei."
"Very well, my lord and the Pope will not forget your credit". André replied to the twenty probationary knights.
The ten Eyre Trainee Warriors all looked at Carl in unison, and each one showed angry eyes: "Lord Karl, what the hell is going on?"
"What's going on? Can't you see it?", Andrei yelled at the ten men.
I saw clusters of torches appear on the city wall, and hundreds of figures roamed on it.
Immediately afterwards, more than 100 apprentice paladins who exuded a fighting spirit swarmed towards the city gate, one by one carrying heavy swords and revealing their killing intent.
Francis gasped and looked at Carl, "Old friend, do you need to explain something to me?"
"I'll explain it to you, but not now". Carl said to Francis.
Then he turned to Francis, "As a friend, I can tell you very clearly that you will be proud of today. But all this is only possible if you join us."
"Do I still have a choice?". Francis smiled wryly.
Carl smiled meaningfully at Francis: "You can choose to live or die".
"Carl, you traitor, actually betrayed Lord Viscount." The ten Ayrshire trainees reacted completely at this time, and these were Carl's conspiracy from beginning to end.
The corners of Carl's mouth flashed with a hint of mockery, thinking of the cold prison and the neat slash, looking at the eyes of these ten people gradually changed to pity: "Traitor?
"Poor you, it took you eight years and paid a great price. But I can tell you more clearly that death is the best relief for you, because when you go back, you will be worse off than dead." Karl spoke to the ten trainees in Ayrshire.
Ten Ayrshire apprentice warriors' eyes were red, and they held their heavy swords in their hands and slew them at Karl: "Even if you die, you will be buried with you."
"Don't be ashamed, don't say that you are seriously injured, even if you recover, it is impossible to kill me Carl." Looking at the ten figures rushing towards him, Karl spoke slowly to them.
Alberta stepped forward with twenty Probationary Knights, raised his fists and pounced, knocking them to the ground in a matter of moments.
The blade of a heavy sword pointed at their throats, and Alberta said coldly to one of them, "Life or death, the choice is yours."
"Don't think". Ten junior warriors of Ayrshire roared in unison.
