Chapter 236: Only one person will be punished
"Your Majesty. Gerwulf bowed in a proper manner, and when he bowed his head, a pair of small eyeballs kept rolling in his sockets, and his two goatees kept shaking, as if he was desperately trying to squeeze out the little slurry in his head and replace it with the right words.
"Chen has personally learned the enemy's soldiers, especially the two kinds of fire-breathing iron pipes, which are by no means ordinary city walls and flesh and blood soldiers can resist, although the hermit city is strong, but compared with the mud and stone fortress, it is actually not far away, if General Lunken is really struggling to resist the enemy, then it is definitely a hard battle, he should send people to the royal capital for help as soon as possible while resisting stubbornly, instead of dragging it out until now without any news. ”
After Gerwulf returned from defeat, he was scolded by Vest and almost dismissed, but in the end, it was the protector Steele who interceded for him to keep his position as general.
Now that someone has suffered the same fate as him, he naturally wants to vigorously promote the ferocity and bravery of the enemy, as if this is the only way to prove that it is not that he is incompetent, but that the bandit army is too powerful.
In this way, the general did go through a hard battle at that time, but I was a Tatarian who shed his blood for the country on the battlefield, and he was really a model for the country. When Gerwuff had finished, Valenk interjected appropriately and looked at him with a smile.
"You!" Gerwulf was furious, but he couldn't find a reason to attack because of the implicit and explicit wording in the other party's words.
The Mudstone Fortress, which claims to never fall, was lost in his possession within an hour, and although West didn't pursue it further because of Steele, it made him the laughing stock of the entire royal city.
I think that at the beginning, with more than 10,000 old and weak soldiers, in the case of lack of military food and materials, he held out for eight months in the face of a barbarian army five times more than himself, and he was beaten and fled in an hour according to the advantage of the heavy crossbow fortified city.
Of course, there is magic and the deterrent power of artillery in it, but Gerwulf's hat of greed for life and fear of death is like a nail in the coffin.
"Enough!"
West's angry shout stopped the cynicism of the two.
As he ascended the throne as he ascended the throne, his control over power became more and more profound.
As a king, he can be close to the villain and the virtuous and the virtuous, all of this depends on the state of affairs at the time, which kind of person can bring him greater benefits, what Gerwulf is He knows in his heart, and now he obviously needs someone who can bring him good news.
"Captain Altyn!"
"Your Majesty!"
A tall werewolf came out and fell to his knees at the bottom of the steps.
After Gerwulf fled from the mudstone fortress, the position of head of the royal guard regiment did not need to be thought about anymore, but to everyone's surprise, West did not select from the existing generals and captains to fill this extremely important vacancy, but directly promoted the person in front of him from the low-level beast tamers.
It turns out he did it right.
Since Altyn became the head of the royal guards, not only has the security situation in the royal city of Nireel been clear, but the domesticated bulls in the barracks have a terrifying impact comparable to that of the human holy knights.
His talent in military training and management has made many jealous people hate it and have to be convinced at the same time.
Moreover, he is also a master of oil and salt, and spends almost all of his time with the filthy brute cattle except for routine patrol training and reporting to West on the situation in the royal capital.
Because of this, Altyn earned the nickname "Minotaur", but West knew that he needed such a lonely minister.
"How's the defense of the royal city?"
"Everything is normal, I have sent more patrols on the city wall, from three shifts to five shifts, and each team is equipped with witches, yesterday I personally went to inspect the four gates of the city wall and the drawbridge, except for a little damage at the east gate is being repaired, there are no other problems, in addition, I have sent the Wyvern King and a team of werewolves to the direction of the hermit city yesterday afternoon to investigate, I believe that I will receive the exact news by the evening at the latest." ”
The temperament exuded by Altyn is very imaginary to Tuze and Ruken, it is the temperament of a real soldier, all the wisdom and thinking are considered for the war, and other things seem to be not worth mentioning in their eyes, so although it is only a few words, it makes West's heart feel as comfortable as a reassuring pill.
This also made him even more proud of his exceptional promotion of Alkin.
"Good. Then inform General Aji of Beckwater, as well as the governors of the various places, and let them defend the royal city with their troops. ”
When everything was arranged, West's heart finally breathed a sigh of relief, he had tried to think about himself and the key to the name, but after thinking about it, he found that there was no bitter hatred other than a clash at a military meeting, and that the conflict ended with his concessions, which made him never understand the point of the other army's attack.
But in any case, he is now the lord of a country, and this act is not only a provocation to his personal majesty, but also an insult to the whole of Tartaglia, and when the royal army of all places gathers in Nireel, even if the other party does not come to him, he will let the other party understand what the wrath of the king is.
The sun sinks in the west, the moon sets, and the surging tide crashes against the cliffs behind Nereel, setting off huge waves before crumbling and dissipating in the air, the sound of the waves that stretches all night in stark contrast to the city that lies dormant in the distance.
Vest was awakened by the shouting of the guards, and he had just had a dream on Steele's belly about the barbarian hero Tanan kneeling at his feet and kissing his upper, and the whole of Tartaglia chanting about his great fame.
However, just as he raised his hands and stopped the cheers of the people and was about to give the king's speech, an untimely shouting shattered his dream.
"Your Majesty......! It's called!"
West had just opened the door, but he heard the guard kneeling outside the threshold say something again, and he kicked the head of the guard in the face in a fit of rage, kicking the lizardman out a few meters, and suddenly his heart was startled, as if he remembered something, and walked up to the head of the guard in a few strides and grabbed his collar: "What is coming?"
"A magician! he calls himself Lear of Palofodi!"
Blood oozed from the corners of the guard's mouth, but he did not dare to delay in the face of the king's question.
"Where's Algin, the city is broken?" Vestin was shocked when he heard this, and unconsciously clenched the other party's five fingers and increased his strength.
"I didn't ...... No...... Still outside the city, will... The army was confronting the enemy on the wall of the east gate, and the special envoys came to report. ”
It wasn't until the head of the guard's face turned a porkliver-like red that West realized his gaffe, and he slowly let go of his fingers and patted the other man's chest lightly to show his comfort and bearing.
"How many troops did the enemy bring?"
West took a deep breath, he was too anxious just now, mainly because the kind of fire-breathing iron pipes described to him by Gerwif after he came back was too unbelievable, which gave him a huge pressure, if it was an ordinary army, he would have sent Altyn to the mudstone fortress to destroy Lear.
"Twenty-headed ......," the head guard was still panting violently while clutching his neck, and as fresh air entered his throat, chest, lungs, and exhaled as it turned into waste air, his bulging eyes and flushed face slowly began to return to their original state.
"Twenty people are so flustered! What do I want you to do?"
When West heard this, he was furious, and only twenty people dared to come to the royal capital to provoke, and these subordinates couldn't even handle twenty people and came to disturb his sweet dreams, so in anger and anger, he pulled out the thin sword at his waist with his backhand and swung a cold light.
A bellows-like 'ho-ho' sound came from the head of the guard's throat, and he covered his neck with his hands, but he couldn't stop the blood from gushing out of the wound like a spring, and West didn't even look at him again before turning and walking towards the dormitory.
Only the light in the lizardman's pair of vertical pupils faded, and the word "dragon" dissipated into the endless morning light along with his life.
"Let West come out and see me, I'll just wait ten minutes. ”
In front of Nireel's tall walls, Lear said coldly to the defending generals on the gatehouse.
