Kingdom of the Highlands, Edinburgh.

The servants of the royal family pushed a dining cart through the mirror-like marble corridor, and stopped in front of the gate inlaid with yellow-green diamond-shaped gemstones, and the maid who walked in the front stepped forward cautiously, and knocked on the knocker with a nervous face:

"Your Majesty, it's time for dinner. ”

There was a deathly silence in the stone door, and the maid who knocked on the door froze in place, and did not dare to come out, and after half a sound, she looked behind for help, but her companion was also full of anxiety, with an expression of self-preservation.

Squeak!

The stone door suddenly opened a crack, and the voice of the king's sister-in-law, Sora, was heard:

"Your Majesty has no appetite, go back. ”

"Yes. ”

The maid did not dare to look at the scene inside the crack in the door, but quickly bowed her head, saluted as if she had been pardoned, turned and pushed the dining cart and walked away with the rest of the servants.

“......”

Seeing the servant go away, Sora gently closed the door, turned and walked to the desk by the sliding window, looked at Wallace, who was full of gloom and pain between his eyebrows behind the desk, was silent for a moment, and asked:

"Where is the legion of the Rosavians?"

As if in a trance, the king did not hear his lover's question, until the other party walked to his side, and after asking for the third time, he slowly raised his head, sneered and muttered to himself:

"Arrived in Douglas this afternoon...... It's not far from Edinburgh......"

Now, no one understands the horror and pain of war better than him, and when he saw that the front, especially the northern defensive line, had been broken through by the troops of the Doge's Palace in two days, and not only Glagor, but even Douglas had been lost, Wallace had already faintly sensed the breath of the coming end.

He felt desperate, and from the time of the defeat of Glamorgan, Wallace had a desperate desire to end the war quickly and in a more dignified manner. It's just that the other party didn't give him this chance. Pose aggressively, even to the point of annexing the Highland Kingdom.

"Wallace ......"

Sora leaned down in a daze, looking at her lover with tears in her eyes - she knew very well that she and the other party had been tightly bound by the thread of fate and ethics, his doom. It's the time of his own death.

"...... that shouldn't have been"

He only felt that his chest was filled with irritability and desperate rage, rushing around in his body, and the blood in his heart boiled, as if it was about to rush to his brain.

Yes, it shouldn't have been like this, and if the lords of the Highlands could gather in Glagor in time, they could have fought with the legions of Rosevia and dealt a heavy blow to their strength.

Wallace saw very clearly that the enemy's military strength seemed huge. In fact, the structure is very complicated, as long as the core army is exhausted, and those traitor troops and monster auxiliary armies cannot command at all, they can maintain the situation.

However, during this critical period, a large-scale rebellion broke out in the northern part of the kingdom, and the rebels not only carried the banner of the Pandoragon royal family, but even had real dynastic blood. There was undoubtedly a degree of legitimacy - a significant portion of the Rune warriors were willing to swear allegiance to the Pandolagon family.

The lords were still willing to be loyal to the king, but they knew better than the other. Your own territory is the lifeblood, how can you put your family and property aside and then fully support the southern front.

Moreover, the Fannon family's rule in the Highland Kingdom was not very popular, so it has always needed blood and ********, and sometimes even with the help of external forces.

If you deal with a foreign enemy. The lords would still obey him, but the Pandoragon Restoration's army appeared at this time, giving them a second choice of targets, not to mention that the defeat of Glamorgan had already severely damaged the legitimacy of the Fannon family.

What is even more odious is that the enemy is actually under the banner of expelling the false rebellion and restoring righteousness. Claiming that the purpose of the war was only to punish the Fannon family, to assist the Pandoragon family in their restoration, and not to infringe on an inch of the territory of the Highland Kingdom.

Only a fool would believe such a shameless lie, and that slut Lilith will take advantage of the Rosevian restoration, and she will surely suffer a backlash, stupidity, stupidity, and ignorance!

Wallace, while roaring and insulting Lilith in his heart, seemed to have forgotten how he got the throne, how he betrayed the interests of the kingdom, and how he colluded with all the means of the papal state......

"Wallace, what are we going to do?"

Sora's eyes were full of confusion, and she subconsciously clenched her lover's cold palm and muttered to herself over and over again.

For a long time, the room was so silent that no sound could be heard, and in the twilight that gradually shrouded, as if the fierce current in his heart had finally calmed down, the king spoke, and said quietly:

"You go out first, I want to be alone for a while. ”

......

As twilight rose, Kenneth was still alone in the dormitory, alone in the cold silence of the walls and the boundless darkness of the night.

In such an iron curtain, he has been silent for a long time.

"Your Highness, the army of the Rosevians has arrived at Douglas, and Wallace, the sinner who killed his father, will soon be punished. The window suddenly opened, and suddenly there was a man in the dim room, tall and thin, dressed in a black robe.

"No, it's not the fall of Wallace, it's the fall of the Fannon family. ”

Kenneth lowered his head, smiled slightly bitterly, and replied lightly, with an exhaustion and coldness in his tone that could not be concealed, which swept like the wind, making the speaker stunned and silent.

"The enemy already has the flag of Lilith, and I'm afraid that a waste like me will only die. ”

The front **** knocked on the armrest of the wheelchair, and suddenly said solemnly:

"No, I can't die yet, the rule of the Fannon family can be destroyed, but the bloodline must be passed on, you must take me out of here. ”

"Now is not the time, and when the time comes, I will escort His Highness away at all costs. The black-robed man's face also became solemn, and he said softly.

However, hearing such a promise from the other party, Kenneth did not have the slightest expression of relief, but just shook his head:

"Isn't there now the best time?"

“......”

The black-robed man was silent for a moment, then suddenly lowered his head and said:

"Your Highness, King Gary has written to me about the way in which a similar situation should be handled, and he means that your status is guaranteed first. Then there is the inheritance of the royal bloodline. ”

"My status?"

The front **** expression was stunned, and said lightly:

"I'm not being used. ”

"No, you have. ”

The black-robed man raised his head, looked into his eyes, and said in a deep voice:

"The Governor greatly appreciates His Highness's talents, and sympathizes with your present situation. He is willing to protect your life - even if you do nothing. ”

"The Governor...... You mean Arley Bernstein?" Kenneth couldn't help but be stunned when he heard his affirmative words, and looked at the other man inquiringly.

"Yes. ”

"You...... Secretly contacted him?" The look in the eyes of the former **** was calm, and there was a calmness in the face of life and death without being shocked, and finally accentuated his tone:

"You're secretly contacting the enemies of the kingdom from me!?"

"I'm sorry, but this is King Gary's legacy to me. The black-robed man lowered his head again, and said in a humble tone, "Take refuge in that governor, I think." The Fannon family still has the possibility of ruling the kingdom. ”

"But I don't want to rule the kingdom......"

Kenneth's tone became more and more indifferent, and he said softly:

"I just want to pass on the bloodline, quietly study the rune spells left by my ancestors, and to hell with the throne and power...... That kind of thing will only turn brothers against each other, father and son cannibalism. ”

"I see......"

In the eyes of the black faction, there was suddenly a solemnity like a mountain, and he exhaled and promised: "If this is His Highness's wish, then His Majesty's desperate death will also be fulfilled." ”

......

"Bulldoze this unsightly fortress for me at once! I will teach these barbarians who dare to offend the majesty of the empire to submit and be humbled!"

"Obey. Your Excellency the Governor-General. ”

The herald responded, and then raised the red flag in his hand. Towards the long-range equipment brigade hidden behind the infantry line at the foot of the hill, it swung vigorously.

"Woo-la-la!"

Under the command of the soldiers, the lizards formed a platoon as they raised their stubby necks, and clumps of crystal clear water compressed in their mouths.

At the same time, the Vam were silently accumulating strength, and the crimson flame in their mouths grew brighter and brighter. And adjust the launch angle and distance to ensure that a big meal is delivered to the enemy.

Woohoo!

It's the terrifying scream of a water cannon breaking through the air!

Woo woo woo!

The compressed dragon breath of Vam's jet pierced the sky, and the long sound it emitted was like a demonic howl.

Hoohoo!

The rock monster projected by the giant trebuchet streaked through the sky and fell like a meteor.

Thousands of cannons are firing! Flames are raining! Meteors falling to the ground! Although it is far from the scene of the end of the epic battle, the scene unfolding in front of you at this moment is enough to proclaim the majesty of Rosevia.

Combined with the close calculations of the auxiliary soldiers, the water cannons and dragon breath fired by the monsters were almost inmissible. All of them fell to the top of the walls of the fortress of Douglas, and the Celts had nowhere to hide but to bear the punishment of the gods in despair!

The overwhelming water cannon is coming in an instant.

Bang bang bang!

Directly ahead, the front of the Celtic fortress seemed to have been hit by hail, and there was an overwhelming groan, and in the violent sound, almost the entire walls of the fortress were plowed over!

The rock monster with a strong impact easily smashed through the fortress wall, and the stone chips flew in all directions, like an earthen wall under continuous cannon fire, which crumbled after a moment of perseverance, and the coherent walls were scattered into ruins.

After the only protection was lost, the Celts had to use their flesh and blood to meet the waves of water cannons.

Even across hundreds of yards in the air, the highly condensed compressed water cannon maintained an unimaginable forward inertia, and the thin armor and strong body of the Highland soldiers were meaningless in the face of crossbow arrows, and they would be smashed to pieces in an instant.

The bursting droplets carry hot blood out of a human body, and without pause continue to shoot towards the next eye, often shooting through two or three people before dripping into the dirt.

As for the roaring dragon's breath, these troubles were spared, and the high temperature would wipe out everything in the explosion range, and the flames would sprinkle into the densely populated camp, causing a burst of screams.

The rock monsters that follow them will smash to the ground with a terrifying blast, and after falling to the ground, they will rumble and roll for a distance, crushing them everywhere they touch, and eventually, they will rise from their flesh and tear apart any combative foe.

On a high ground in the distance, looking at his masterpiece with satisfaction, Arley smiled and stroked his stubble jaw, as if enjoying the moment of watching his enemies cry out in pain as they were powerless to fight back under the ravages of Roman siege engines.

Fear, boundless fear, millions of fear source power condensed in the void, spread across the blue sky and sea of clouds, gathered into dark stars overlooking the earth, and was swallowed up by his long whale swallowing water.

Strength, great power, wildly strengthened in the midst of brutal wars and merciless ravages.

Yare...... Will...... The slaughter is too much? We can consider making them surrender. Seeing that the lover seemed to be in a good mood, behind her, Charlene covered her thin lips and hesitated to remind.

"No, early. ”

The black-haired knight glanced at the green-haired girl, noticed that her face was a little pale, took the other party's soft hand, and said softly:

"The essence of this war is to make the enemy feel fear, and I will keep creating fear and amplifying fear until they no longer have the idea of resisting...... And now, it's not enough. ”

"But...... Aren't you going to set up a puppet regime and let Lilith rule the Highland Kingdom in your place?" said Charlene as she stared at the bloody cannon craters and said with a look of disapproval.

"That's right, that's why they're the ones I'm intimidating against. ”

Yalei nodded, and at the same time raised his hand, pointed to the battle-torn fortress in front of him, and said calmly: "And these ridiculous and fragile rebels in front of me are just victims of my destination. ”

It is difficult to control a country with a population of 10 million with a small number of troops without absolute deterrence, and everything he is doing now is the prelude to preparing to take over and control the Highland Kingdom.

The black-haired knight's purpose was simple, he wanted Lilith, the future council, or all the ruling class of the northern Celts to understand one thing - he had the power to control the Highland kingdoms.

In order to achieve this, it is necessary to lay the foundation with sufficient blood and victory.

"Your Excellency the Governor, did you let the Guards take advantage of the situation to attack?" Seeing that the conversation between Yalei and Charlene had ended, the herald stepped forward and asked cautiously.

"Well, prepare, order the trebuchet troops and auxiliary legions, don't worry about consumption during the general attack, give me ten thousand cannons in unison, and be sure to completely suppress the only ballista counterattack of the Celts that threatens our infantry, and cover the charge of the guards!"

The black-haired knight groaned slightly, folded his palms, and said loudly:

"The garrison army is in front, the new army is pressing, since it is attacking, don't think about any reservations, press my whole army, and strive to break through the enemy's defense line in one fell swoop. ”

"Yes!"

The herald immediately walked to the edge of the high ground and raised the horn hanging on his chest.

“......”

The green-haired girl stared at Yalei in a daze, sluggish for a while, and suddenly smiled easily - this is the mentality that a conqueror should have, compared to himself, he is really too weak, and the family chose his brother right.

He was a natural conqueror.

Charlene looked at the straight silhouette of her lover in the sunset, and thought stupidly.
