Chapter 253: Panic
General Laurent was able to become the commander of the Praetorian Guard, not because of his prowess or commanding skills, but simply because he was the most trusted person of King Fairman. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Although he has no extraordinary talents, and can even be said to be cowardly, Laurent still ascended to the position of commander of the Praetorian Guard, but unfortunately King Fairman did not know the sentence that a general is incapable of exhausting a thousand troops.
Fearing being pursued by the Knights of Glory and the fear of the Parisians, General Laurent offered to lead a part of the Praetorian Guard as the pioneer, so that he could be at the forefront of the retreat to the north, so that even if the Knights of Glory caught up, it would not matter what happened to him Laurent.
General Laurent's calculations were good, but when he came to Linz and looked at the battle flag of the Rose Knights of the Paris Empire fluttering above Linz City, his heart was indescribable, and the fear of falling into an ice cave made him even stiff and unable to move.
Thousands of calculations, but they never imagined that the Rose Knights had broken through Swanstein Castle and directly occupied Linz City, cutting off the way for the Lorraine royal family to go north to seek refuge in the Varu Empire.
At this time, the constant shouts of killing in Linz City meant that Linz City had not yet been fully controlled by the Rose Knights, but it was a pity that General Laurent had a thousand thoughts in his heart, such as escaping and surrendering, but he did not immediately attack the city and take Linz City before the Rose Knights gained a firm foothold.
The other officers in the Praetorian Guard were already familiar with the timid and cowardly temperament of their commander, and when they saw him stunned, they simply sent someone to inform the prince behind him.
When the news reached the rear of the retreating team, the two princes and Jaraman were also panicked, and now they were far away from the royal city, and the city of Linz was seized by the Rose Knights in front, so these tens of thousands of people and the royal family of Lorraine were in big trouble.
Just when the two princes and Jaraman and the others were at a loss, there was chaos among the people in front. It turned out that General Laurent was really a straw bag, he was only afraid of going and didn't react at all, which made the subsequent people follow to Linz City and see the changes in the interior of Linz City. Everyone abandoned their homes and fled with the royal family of Lorraine, but the Parisians had already blocked the road north, and now the people were in chaos, crying and noisy.
When the panic came, the officials of the Lorraine royal family alone could no longer control the situation. Many panicked people ran like headless flies toward the woods on both sides of the road, as if they could escape the Parisians. These people who ran around increased the panic level of others, as if they were contagious, and more and more people ran after seeing others running away.
Peake and Nick shouted loudly, calling the people not to panic and not to run, but unfortunately no one paid attention to the insignificant voices of the two teenagers at such a moment. King Fairman, with the help of the queen, reluctantly stepped out of the carriage, and asked Jalaman what had happened, and when he heard all this, he could not help but sigh that he had made a mistake in employing people, and that this general Laurent had really made a mistake.
Just when everyone in the royal family of Lorraine could only watch their people scatter and flee, but there was nothing they could do, the people who fled far away suddenly let out a burst of screams of surprise, and then turned around and ran back again. This sudden change made King Fairman's heart jump suddenly, it must be that he was in trouble again.
I saw that the people seemed to have been driven back by some beast, whether they knew each other or not, everyone seemed to be huddled together and felt safer, looking like lambs being rounded up by evil wolves.
Without waiting for King Fairman to ask someone, he saw many green-skinned goblins jumping out of the woods on both sides of the road, waving their swords one by one, trying their best to make a hideous and terrifying appearance to intimidate the Lorrainians running around.
Seeing the appearance of these goblins, King Fairman and the two princes of Pique and Nick must have arrived in their hearts, and it seems that the broken troops of Marquis Leo are coming. Thanks to the incompetent General Laurent, Leo's status in their minds has improved dramatically. The current Leo is like a life-saving straw in front of the Lorraine royal family, and he will hold it tightly in his hands no matter what.
After a while, Leo came to King Fairman's carriage with Feng Xifan, Baodong scum, and a group of Saint Army soldiers, and he didn't give King Fairman any face, and directly asked, "What's going on? Why is there such a big riot among the people? What are your Praetorian Guards doing? Why don't you help maintain order?"
Leo's series of questions embarrassed the Lorraine people present and didn't know how to answer, should they tell Leo that the incompetence of the Praetorian Guard commander caused the riot to occur?
"Ahem!Marquis Leo, I'm afraid things are not good, the city of Linz in front has been occupied by the Rose Knights of the Paris Empire, this city of Linz is the only way for us to go north, what can we do now!" or Jaraman cheekily changed the subject, and he also received grateful glances from King Fairman and the two princes.
"The Rose Knights of the Paris Empire, they are moving so fast!" Leo frowned when he heard the news, but he immediately said decisively: "It is impossible to make a detour now, the Glory Knights behind us may catch up at any time, since the Rose Knights have occupied Linz City, then we will take it back!"
In fact, King Fairman was expecting Leo's words, the Lorraine Praetorian Guard was simply embarrassed in the hands of that coward of Laurent, and now the only hope was Leo, so King Fellman immediately said: "I'm afraid, this matter has to rely on the help of Marquis Leo!"
Leo glanced at King Fairman, this old fox had a good idea in his heart, Leo knew very well, and when he encountered a problem, he unceremoniously used himself as a swordman, and if the Knights of Glory caught up, maybe he would use himself as a shield.
But now, Leo will not contribute in vain, he pretended to hesitate and said: "My Goblin Legion has no problem fighting, but to attack the city, you still need the help of Lorraine's magicians." ”
"No problem, we will take the magicians of the Academy of Magic to the battle, and we promise to obey the command of His Excellency the Marquis. Without waiting for King Fairman to react, the two princes, Pique and Nick, agreed in unison.
