Chapter 180: The Brave

"Fieldes, do you believe all this nonsense yourself?" Avril trembled at the sound of Field's words. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info Growing up in the palace surrounded by many sycophants, when has she ever seen such a shameless face.

"Hehe, believe it or not, it is up to Her Royal Highness the Princess now. Someone came to protect Her Royal Highness the Princess. With a wave of his hand, Fielders was greeted by dozens of knights ready to ride their horses to besiege the princess.

At this time, some mercenaries standing on both sides hurriedly drew their long swords and shields to block in front of Her Royal Highness the Princess, although the princess's temper certainly made them very unhappy, but as mercenaries, they still attached great importance to their duties. Be prepared to fulfill your obligations.

Just as several mercenaries lined up to resist the charge of the opposing knights, more than a dozen long swords suddenly stabbed out from behind, and these long swords passed through the gaps in the armor and directly pierced into the vital points of the mercenaries in the front row. These mercenaries did not expect that they would be conspired against from the rear at such a critical juncture. After a few struggles, he fell to the ground. The dead eyes seemed to ask why anyone would do what they did.

"Charlemagne, why are you aiming your sword at your comrades, are you going to break the sacred covenant and join the enemy?" Princess Avril asked angrily.

Charlemagne slowly wiped the blood stains on the cross sword, and then slowly raised his head to look at the angry Princess Avril, "Dear Princess Highness, we just killed some kidnappers who tried to kidnap you, how can it be said to be a betrayal, with the testimony of Lord Fielders, I believe that His Majesty the King will give us a clean slate." ”

Fields also nodded with a smile when he heard Charlemagne's words, "Well, Charlemagne is right, as long as it is a mercenary who cares about the kingdom, His Majesty the King can not blame the past, if he is still obsessed, then he will be exterminated on the spot according to the way he treats the kidnappers." Now, choose your own future, and give you a minute. ”

With that, Fields and his knights drew their swords and shields. Compared to riding a spear, a long sword is more suitable for combat at this distance.

Avril's mercenaries drew their weapons one after another, but instead of aiming at the enemy, they carefully watched the people around them to prevent anyone from suddenly attacking them. After all, there were still more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground. Charlemagne, on the other hand, led his mercenaries to retreat cautiously to the periphery, and dodged the direction of the impact of the Fields Knights.

"You still have thirty seconds, and if you leave, the kingdom can be blamed for your previous actions, and if you have not surrendered by then, you will be treated as traitors. Fildes added another heavy weight to the mercenaries' hearts.

A mercenary's mental defense collapsed, and he threw down his weapon and ran out of the crowd as fast as he could. After all, he was just a small mercenary, and everyone in his family was waiting for the money he mailed back to live. A mercenary like him, who lives at the bottom of society, is unwilling to get involved in the political whirlpool of the kingdom, because if he is not careful, he will be crushed.

As the mercenary fled, it was like pushing a domino, and a large number of mercenaries threw away their weapons one after another and ran out. In fact, they were wavering when they faced the knights of Fields for the first time, but no one took the lead in defecting. Now that someone has taken the lead, it is natural that they will disperse in a hurry. At the same time, he comforted himself in his heart, "Anyway, I'm not the first to run away, I'm just mixing a bite to eat, and I have to do this as a last resort." ”

Maybe this kind of excuse can't deceive others, but at least it can deceive your own heart. Just make your conscience feel better.

Fields smiled and sent the knights out of the encirclement. Although it is not very difficult for him and his knights to exterminate these mercenaries, they will have to pay a lot of losses in the end. Not a single knight dies will make the king feel distressed, and these are all cultivated by the king with a lot of painstaking efforts. If there are too many dead and wounded, they may be punished by the king.

Now what is there to be dissatisfied with being able to complete the task without bloodshed, his target is just Princess Avril, as for these mercenaries, who knows which miscellaneous fish they are, killing more and killing less has nothing to do with the overall situation, just some numbers on the battle report.

In an instant, most of Avril's soldiers had run away, leaving only a mercenary squad of ten mercenaries and four knights who had grown up with him still guarding his side.

Avril felt infinite sadness when she stood in the protective circle composed of the knights, in her eyes, the elite soldiers under her command were actually crumbled by a few words from the enemy, although there were reasons for the strength of the other party, but it was still very disappointing.

Avril looked at the dozen or so people guarding her, she remembered everyone's faces, and she secretly swore that as long as she could break through the siege today, then these people would be her cronies and her most trustworthy people in the future.

Although Avril was touched by the sincerity shown by these people who had not abandoned her at such a juncture, she still had some doubts. The Guards were understandable that she would never abandon her, these Guards Knights were all qualified candidates selected from among the orphans within the family and then grew up with the people to protect, and the two sides formed a more intimate relationship than that of master and servant, and could never leave each other in life and death, and in the hundreds of years that the family has recorded, there have been no examples of betrayal by the Guard Knights.

As for the fact that this small group of mercenaries can still maintain loyalty, she is a little puzzled, after all, the two sides are just ordinary employment contracts, not some contracts with strong binding effect. This kind of contract is naturally more binding when recognized by the kingdom, but in the current situation, this kind of contract is obviously not recognized by the kingdom, which is one of the reasons why Charlemagne can openly violate the contract.

Not only Princess Avril was a little incomprehensible, but even Fielders on the other side was a little puzzled. Fields raised the cross-sword in his hand and pointed at the mercenaries who were still guarding the princess, "Why don't you leave, do you really want to be a traitor?" ”

At this time, one of the mercenaries led by him spat at him fiercely, "Phew, Rendell, this dog mongrel is also worthy of being the king, this kind of goods that can only bully men and women will only plunge the kingdom into the abyss of no return, and it is my biggest regret that I did not kill him to avenge my sister, but unfortunately I can only kill a few dogs under him as a burial." ”
