Volume II: Chapter Twenty-Seven: Molina
But the soldiers did not flinch, and still rushed forward one after another, and the first soldier even blocked the spear with his body, and it was this action that bought the other soldiers precious time and allowed them to rush to the close range of the enemy.
In close quarters, even if the weapons are unfavorable, with their well-trained fighting skills and the strong body they raise every day, they have the upper hand in the middle, and they use their short swords to harvest the lives of the spearmen, gradually turning the tide of battle.
But at this moment, a group of knights in armor rushed in, and they joined, but they moved back to the battle again, heavy armor, sharp giant swords, and soldiers constantly died under their swords.
On the battlefield, several soldiers surrounded one of the knights and stabbed him in the armpits and neck with their swords, killing him, but then the other knights slashed him.
In this way, there were only a dozen of the original fifty elites left, and on the opposite side were thirty knights and a hundred and ten guards who were killed by them.
"Listen, everyone, we are trapped, and Lord Melny must have been captured as well, but only he can recover this castle at the lowest cost, so we have to find someone to go out and report the news no matter what, and let His Majesty send someone to save your lord!" he said as he grabbed the hands of the others, and they joined hands to surround one of the youngest soldiers in the middle.
"You remember! Spread the word no matter what, even if it costs your life!
The soldier in the middle had tears in his eyes and nodded in obedience.
In this way, a dozen men rushed to the enemy hand in hand without hesitation, and they smashed the enemy's spear with their flesh and blood, blocking the knight's sword with their bodies. Rushing to the perimeter, during which people were constantly hacked to death and pierced by spears. But the soldiers in the middle remained unscathed.
At last they broke out of the encirclement and let the young soldier out, and then all the soldiers turned and pounced on him to block his pursuers, and when the young soldier looked back at them one last time, he ran in the way he had come.
And the dozen or so soldiers came to the city wall. I found the wooden city wall and was about to turn over and jump down, but the pursuers felt it at any time. didn't think much about it, and immediately jumped off the city wall more than ten meters high, and the leading pursuers saw that they couldn't catch up, so they took the crossbow. Aim your arrows at him. The bolt hits the soldier in the back.
The soldier fell to the ground with an arrow, and the shooter laughed and led the other soldiers away, but just as the enemy was leaving, a dark shadow appeared beside the soldier, lifted him up, and disappeared into the darkness.
On the other hand, in prison. Melny looked blankly at the roof and whispered, "Your Majesty! I have lost the soldiers of my empire in vain! I am a sinner."
"Oh, I don't know what kind of person can make you so loyal!Ha! Look at this poor look, it really hurts me!" Just then, Molina walked in and looked at Melny and said.
"It's you, stay away from me, I don't need your pretended sympathy here!"
"Yes, you just hate me! Haha, you don't beg me, let me let you go?"
"You wicked woman! I didn't feel sorry for you!
"Hahaha! Didn't I sue you! I Molina only know money!" The slender figure looks strange in this light.
"You know what! I said I love you, do you believe it? ha, of course you don't, but it's true," Molina looked at Melny, tears welling up in her eyes.
"You're right, I'm vicious, I provoked you and your brother, I chose your heir brother for wealth and abandoned you, and I persuaded your brother not to redeem Count Bellands, this time, I betrayed you!"
"I'm cheap, I'm a money worshipper, but do you understand me? Do you understand my former life as a prostitute! No! You don't understand! You don't understand how much money means to me!" Molina wiped away a handful of tears, and then said, "I wanted to leave with you when I saw you this time, but you said that you would take me back to my old life! No! I will never accept it! I will never go back to the past when life was worse than death! So"
"Don't you care about anything for money! Isn't there anything more important than money!"
"No! I like money, but I love you even more! I won't let people hurt you, tomorrow you will be dragged to the square to be executed" Molina turned away after speaking, and threw down the last sentence before leaving: "I want to sue you, the most important thing in my life is money!
In the early morning, the early autumn sun is particularly lazy, which makes people's spirits become lazy, and the streets are also extremely deserted, which may be the reason for the siege, and people generally feel depressed.
In the cell, Melny stared out the window, he had been like this all night, he couldn't sleep, because his heart was full of guilt, he felt sorry for Fan Ming's favor and trust, sorry for the fifty imperial soldiers who died tragically, death was nothing for him, even numb.
In this way, I looked at the waning moon outside the window from the night, and watched the light slowly drive away the night, until now the sunrise. He had completely forgotten what Molina had said to her, and he would never want to think of her.
At that moment, the cell door was opened, and two soldiers entered, put a white sack of burlap on his head, dragged him out of the cell, and shouted, "Boy, let me go!"
With this tugging, Melny was dragged to the square of the castle, and when many peasants and soldiers saw it, they knew that an unfortunate man was going to die here.
They surrounded the square, and almost all the people came, including the soldiers, because they had been besieged for a long time, so their guards had long since been loosened, and now there were only a few symbolic people left on the tower.
Melny was still in a burlap bag, and he only felt that someone had put a noose on him, and he understood that it was meant to hang him, but then he didn't care.
He was pushed onto the wooden platform in front of him, which was a mechanism. The noose was tightly wrapped around her neck, and as soon as the lower door opened, Melny would fall. And the noose around his neck will suddenly tighten because of inertia, and he will strangle Melny's neck to death, and it will not be long before he dies! This is the hanging method of Westerners in the Middle Ages, and the reason is similar to hanging.
When the guards took the sack from his head, the sunlight instantly pierced Melny's eyes. He couldn't open his eyes.
The people around also let out an exclamation at this time, because they didn't expect that this unlucky person was the second son of the former earl. The barons of Marasburg, they were all dumbfounded.
The discussion around exploded instantly, "Isn't this Lord Baron!how could it be him!'" "Yes, hasn't he been gone by his demon brother*?" "Hey, be quiet, don't let the Earl's dog hear it!" The Baron is a good man! We once received a bag of wheat flour from the Baron!"
"Yes, yes, so do I! We have all received a great deal of favor from the Baron!" "This count is so ruthless!
The people around you are one sentence and one sentence to me. Gradually, it became a critique of tyranny.
When Melny heard the discussion below, it occurred to her that this might be an opportunity, and she cried out: "Men of Rhodoc, you are right! My brother is tyrannical and treats you as slaves! Not even his own brother will spare you! Not to mention you! If you continue to stay here, you will be persecuted to death by him sooner or later!" Melny cried out.
When people heard Melny's words, they began to hesitate and worry about their future.
Melny saw that his words had a role. Then he continued: "You are not without a chance to resist! Your opportunity is outside the castle! Now the leader of freedom, the protector of the common people. Honorable Holy Son, Emperor of the Free Holy Rhodok Empire, His Majesty Saint Van Ming, he has led the most elite Freedom Army on the Kadia Road to encircle this place!
He has come to free you! He can give you freedom! He can give you land and respect! Now if you are brave enough to open the gates and welcome His Majesty the Emperor into the city, then you will get this qiē! Brave soldiers and civilians of Marasburg! Stand up and resist!"
The people began to stir when they heard Melny's words, and it was a good idea for them! While they were discussing it among themselves, a man's applause rang out on one side of the square.
"Hahaha! Not bad, my brother, I didn't expect you to become so sharp and toothy less than a year after you went out!"
"Don't forget, you lowly pariahs, that your relatives are in the castle, and if you don't want to see them hanged, give me some peace!" the duke's threat made everyone around him dumbfounded, and no one was willing to risk his own relatives.
"All right, my dear brother, you should talk to your father about these great things!!" the Duke ordered the executioner, who, having received the order, came unhurriedly to Melny's side, tightened his noose, and then went to the bottom of the stage, ready to open the plank.
At this time, there was already a figure staring nervously at Melny, although he was covered with an all-black cloak, he couldn't hide his temperament, and he knew that he was a beauty at a glance.
Seeing that the execution was about to be carried out, she whispered anxiously: "Why don't you come yet!
Melny knew that she had no chance left, so she said loudly to her brother, "You devil! I will miss you in hell!"
By this time, the executioner had already come to the stage and pulled out the plank, and then, the board under Melny's feet lost its support, and it opened, and Melny was about to fall.
"Oh! no!" the woman hiding under the cloak finally couldn't hold back anymore and shouted to rush forward.
At that moment, a sharp arrow burst through the air and slashed over the heads of the crowd, striking the rope around Melny's neck.
It was this crucial arrow that rescued Melny, and after cutting the rope, the arrow shot at the guard behind him, hitting him in the neck and killing him.
Melny also fell under the wooden platform, intact. (To be continued......)
