Chapter 35: The Fall of the Adjudicator (2)

"Your Majesty, don't worry!" Cuthbert stood beside Sea and whispered comfortingly, "Erathia has been invaded countless times in history, but it has never been conquered!

"That's the glorious battle of countless ancestors who fought bloodily and sacrificed their lives for the country!" Seia nodded: "Standwick Castle has never been conquered in history, and now Iron Fist Castle will be the same!"

"Yes, the defenses of Tekken Castle are no less than those of Standwick, and maybe even stronger!" Cuthbert nodded as well.

Of course, Iron Fist Castle can now become a powerful fortress thanks to the previous king Kendall.

More than a decade ago, when Kendall learned that his brother Geffenhardt had died in battle in the Lost Lands, he immediately staged a coup d'état, imprisoning Her Majesty Laurel, the regent, and seizing the throne.

Although many people believe that the throne should be inherited by Kendall, it has been a default rule for thousands of years, not to mention that Geffenheart has left only a flower girl in this world, Princess Catherine, but she was choosing to practice in the Lost Land, following in the footsteps left by her father.

There has never been a queen in Erathia's history, but there has to be a first time for everything. So an argument began, with some supporting Kendall as the successor to the king, while others supporting Princess Catherine.

Kendall didn't have the patience to wait for the members of Congress to argue and vote endlessly. Speak with the army, this is the most straightforward way!

Thus, perhaps the once legitimate successor immediately becomes a usurper! The use of force to settle disputes is unfair and even despicable!

While people were talking, many of the MPs and nobles who had supported Her Majesty Laurel and Her Royal Highness Catherine were immediately ruthlessly suppressed, exiled and even killed by Kendall!

But no matter where Kendall went, no matter how many soldiers were around him, people always looked at him with strange eyes, especially at Standwick Castle!

Kendall knew what was going on in these people's minds, and they despised himself as a shameless usurper!

But there were so many of them! He had tried all sorts of excuses to kill a large number of them, but his wife told him that he could not kill all those who opposed him, especially in Standwick!

Kendall decided to move the capital from Standwick Castle to his own Domain.

But the opposition never ceased, especially after Kendall chose to ruthlessly suppress the rebellion with bloody means in order to consolidate his dominance.

He always kept in mind that he had one of the deadliest threats to himself, and that was his own niece, Catherine, and when she returned, those loyal to her would surely join her, and Erathia would be plunged into civil war!

After more than ten years of non-stop operation, the Iron Fist Castle has been built by him like an iron bucket!

No one can deny the fortification of the Iron Fist Castle! But now, how can a mere 4,000 old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers resist the 100,000 undead army swarming from the north?

Although Kendall had denied Erathia a queen, this decision was broken by his own hands more than ten years later, in order to avoid falling into civil war, he had to choose to compromise and give up the battle for the throne like Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine, and put his daughter Princess Saiya on the throne!

"Father, please save your daughter!" Queen Saiya prayed in her heart.

In the streets of the city, many people gradually gathered, and more and more!

They all raised their arms and shouted, and there was a lot of noise in the streets!

"What are they doing?" Seya worried, "Are you blaming me for not telling them the truth?"

The soldiers guarding Her Majesty immediately rose to the alert, their palms resting on the hilts of their swords

As the people drew closer and closer to the city gates, she finally heard a shout from a cacophony of voices:

"Your Majesty, let us fight for you!

"If you don't want to die, then follow Her Majesty to defeat the undead to the death!" a young man climbed the tall statue standing at the city gate and shouted at the people below!

"Yes, Your Majesty, give us weapons!" a large group of retired veterans stood up, "Compared to the undead, we are not old, we can still fight!"

"We need weapons too!"

"We're going to fight too!"

The crowd erupted in an earth-shattering shout!

Tears flowed down Seiya's face. She waved to the crowd, and the crowd fell silent.

"Thank you! I don't feel lonely at all with you!"

Her vision was blurred, and she could no longer hear what people were shouting! She turned her face and nodded to Prime Minister Kusper, "Go ahead! Arm these brave people at once!"

She used to be a weak girl, and she even got dizzy at the sight of a little blood, and she had to repent when she stepped on an ant to death!

But not anymore! The responsibility on her shoulders has turned her into a powerful woman!

She is not like her sister Princess Catherine, who is strong enough to defeat most men in the world, but at least she is very strong inside!

Plug** couldn't help but stroke his bulging lower abdomen. Sweet baby, do you want to be impatient to fight when you punch and kick me?

Did you know that the coming army of terror, which can destroy everything, is led by your own father?

Looks like one has to die between me and him!

Why?

Why?!

Seya looked up at the sky.

The heavenly gods did not give her an answer, nor did they give her any revelation......

At the same time as Saiya received the secret message, Princess Catherine, who was far away on the border of Erathia! As soon as she opened the letter, she immediately exclaimed!

Oh my, oh my!

Yoland, McLind, York, Kenlo...... You are the most famous and powerful heroes in the world, and you have an army of 50,000!

50,000 against 100,000, at least it can delay the opponent's action, right?

No one could share her inner horror, and her husband Roland had already led the generals to organize an elite assault team deep into the hinterland of Dia a few days ago!

At this time, any woman wishes for her husband to stand silently behind her! But why is it that every time when she needs comfort and support the most, there is no one by her side?

Catherine's head was racing! It would take eight days to travel from Dia Frontier to Iron Fist Castle!

That is, leave up to two days for your own decision!

What to do?!

Immediately lead an army to the aid of Tekken Castle?

She shook her head at once! At best, she could only lead her own legions back to Erathia, and the other two legions belonged to Roland, the prince of Dia, that is, her husband!

Will they be loyal to themselves, will they leave their homeland and go to the aid of Erathia?

Even if they were willing to follow him out of the border, would Sandru cover it all the way?

If the armies of the undead from the east and north come together, it will destroy the entire world!

Catherine knew that her responsibility was to block the Sandru army on the eastern route with her life and ensure that Erathia launched a spring offensive against the demon army in the south, but who would have thought that the undead army on the northern route would advance so quickly?

No, I have to go back! Dia can't live without Erathia! Once Erathia is destroyed, not to mention that Dia and Eli have no hope of recovering their country, even Tytalia, Krurod, and Baildes will not be able to escape the doom of destruction!

If Kendall is going to hold me accountable for losing ground, let him kill me!

O great spirit of the ancestors, will you bless your children and grandchildren?

Two days, I'll wait two days!...... If you don't get back in time, I'm going to have to withdraw my troops!

Millet...... Are you really going to kill all your good friends, even me and Saiya?

If I were to die, I would not let the rusty iron sword of the undead stain my blood!Let me die by your sword, along with my unborn child, your own flesh and blood!

Catherine also stroked her bulging lower abdomen with her hand. Millet, if you are willing to do this, then good, then come!

I will die like a warrior, a reservist mother, defending all that I love!

"Inheim is back!" came a cheer from outside the tent.

Catherine seemed to see hope. She immediately ran out of the tent, only to find that Inheim was alone.

"What about Roland?" said Catherine's heart.

Inheim turned over and dismounted, and hurriedly reported: "Dia's Sandru army of the undead has moved! In addition to sending one legion to defend the Valley of the Falls and one legion to continue the search for survivors, the other three legions have already marched westward, trying to converge with the five legions on the border, and are expected to attack us!"

"What about Sandru himself, did he come along?" was everyone's concern.

If this terrible army is not commanded by Sandru, with 30,000 against 80,000, then there is always a glimmer of hope! But if it is commanded by Sandru himself, then the chances of such a will be completely zero!

"Unfortunately, we saw the ghostly dragon that Sandru was riding hovering over the procession!"

The generals were all silent. It seems that everyone will not escape death, and now they only pray that there will be no corpses, so that they will not become another undead in Sandru's team!

"What about Roland, why didn't he come back?" said Catherine, stunned.

"He saw the seriousness of the matter!" Inheim whispered, "We will never be able to resist Sandru's army of the undead with only three legions!" He is ready to raid the Valley of the Falls, rescue all the captured Dia people, and then start a battle in the heart of Dia, hoping to mobilize a part of Sandru's forces and relieve the pressure on you!"

"Oh my God, he's only brought more than thirty men, how can he resist Sandru's two legions?!" exclaimed Catherine again.

"Let's pray that he will succeed!" Inheim said helplessly, "If he succeeds, then he will be able to organize one or two legions to fight!"

The generals remained silent. Everyone knew very well that even if Prince Roland succeeded by chance, the one or two hastily assembled legions were only made up of farmers, merchants, women and children, and old men, and lacked the necessary equipment and provisions...... They can only fight with sticks and stones! A well-trained regular army can't stand up to Sandru's elite army of the undead, let alone a rabble?

"Since everyone is here, I would like to announce to you a message that I just received!" Catherine looked at everyone and said, "The army of the undead in the north has just crushed all the armies that stand in their way, and now it is rushing in like a flood, and it is estimated that it will be under the Iron Fist Castle in less than ten days!"

"Oh my God!" the generals exclaimed!

"I mean to withdraw our troops from the border line at once and go to the reinforcements of Ironfist Castle!" Catherine glanced at the crowd with her eyes, "All of us know that if Sandru himself leads eight legions against us, we will not even think about holding on for a day! If we are doomed to death, then let us fight side by side with the allied forces of Erathia under the Ironfist Castle! If Erathia survives, Dia will survive, and if Erathia perishes, Dia will perish!"

The generals exchanged glances.

"We choose to fight, not for the sake of impulse, let alone to die immediately, but for a better future! Even if the current chance of victory is very slim, we must not give up hope!"

"I admit that you are right!" said one of the generals, "But Your Majesty, if you do this, your Royal Highness will make our prince fight alone, and he will not escape the bad luck of being annihilated!"

"It's not that I don't care about him! Please don't forget, he's still my husband!" Catherine's eyes darkened: "There must be trade-offs in war, and there will inevitably be sacrifices! I believe that everyone is ready to sacrifice before taking the oath to become soldiers......

The generals nodded silently, and then dispersed to prepare.

Are you ready to sacrifice, Catherine?

Between your ex husband and your future husband, which one are you exactly going to choose?

Catherine shook her head vigorously!God, you'd better let me die first, I won't know anything when I'm dead! 2k reading web
