Chapter 596: Secret Agreement

Those who had been optimistic about the defense of the royal capital had to change their attitude after several days of onslaught by the coalition forces. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The city defense of the royal capital, which was thought to be impregnable, has been in danger frequently in just a few days, and it has almost fallen several times.

It was all up to the Church of Light to mobilize the congregation to fill the holes in the city wall with flesh and blood, giving the garrison time to buffer.

This was reluctantly delayed, and this was based on the premise that the attacker took the initiative to retreat in order to prevent further losses.

If they had attacked frantically like the previous group of peasants regardless of the battle damage, I am afraid that the royal capital would have completely fallen in despair, and the situation would be critical.

"Did we survive today? Should we celebrate? But we survived, and so many familiar faces died. ”

"We're the garrison in a good position on the city walls, why are the battle losses even worse than those attacking bastards?"

"Are those bastards ghosts from hell? If we continue like this, it won't be long before the royal capital falls, and where is our future?"

The young soldiers, who had barely resisted for a day, repelled the enemy's attack, had their backs against the walls, and not long ago they were in a state of embarrassment in their bright armor.

The seemingly impregnable walls of the royal capital have become riddled with holes and have collapsed extensively, thanks to the contractor, the Miranda Chamber of Commerce.

However, when the gendarmes tried to arrest the Miranda Chamber of Commerce, they found that the Chamber of Commerce had left only an empty shell, with only a few local employees left.

The core members had already bought off the officials before the outbreak of the war and fled the war-torn city, which was thousands of miles away from the royal capital.

Even the arrest of these unsuspecting employees was pointless, which made the ministers of the palace only consider themselves unlucky, and jumped to their feet and scolded the damned Duke of the Far East, Lin Ye, for penetrating too deeply, and even hitting the idea of the royal capital wall two years ago, causing the supposed strong city defense to be so vulnerable.

With the arrival of early spring, the night sky was vast, and the soldiers looked up at the stars in the sky, discouraged and hopeless about the war.

And on the other barracks outside the city walls, the soldiers wearing different styles of armor were optimistic about the war and were full of interest.

"I thought that Wang Du was strong, but it only took a few days to beat them like this, and I felt that I was about to beat them to tears. ”

"The siege equipment brought by those bastards of the Far Eastern Army is too powerful, and their bows and arrows suppress the archers of the royal capital so that they dare not show their heads. ”

"That war beast called 'Cloud Ladder' is so powerful, I really don't know how they made it, it's too complicated. ”

"It is said that it took the craftsmen of the Far East years to create it, and it is the core secret of the Far East, and there are very few people who can understand the structure. ”

The soldiers whispered, not only were their enemy garrisons terrified of such war behemoths, but they were shocked.

"Now it seems that taking the king is a sure thing, but after ousting that idiot from the throne, who will be the new emperor?"

While the soldiers were discussing the course of the war in full swing, someone inadvertently asked this question, which everyone was afraid to ask.

"The one who will be the emperor must be our Royal Highness Rennes, right? After all, in the bloodline of the royal family, His Royal Highness Leo's whereabouts are unknown, and His Royal Highness Leighton has no strength. ”

"But what if His Highness Wren supports His Highness Leighton? Which one should we support? And if we take down the royal capital, we won't have much to contribute. ”

"Far Eastern Army, Rose Army, Medusa Army...... Their strength is much stronger than ours, and it is not impossible for them to support Lord Lin Ye......"

"Lord Lin Ye, as a person, I still admire him very much, whether it is to govern the army or internal affairs, he has developed the Far East that was so poor in the past, if the country is handed over to him to govern, there must be no problem, but ......"

"It's just that Lord Lin Ye doesn't have the blood of the royal family after all, alas, forget it, don't think about it so much, let's think about it after taking the royal capital. ”

A soldier patted his worried companion on the shoulder, smiled and continued to roast the fire, but the early spring night was still a little chilly, occasionally accompanied by some coughing.

An officer happened to pass by, glared at the soldiers with a gloomy expression, and hurried towards the tent, which made the soldiers stunned.

"Your Highness, I have returned from completing the patrol mission, and now the lower-level soldiers have begun to discuss the matter of defeating the royal capital, and it should be rectified!"

The officer, who was striking, reported the situation to Wren, who was checking the map in the tent, and Wren was the only one in the tent.

"Are you talking about their discussion about the next emperor to succeed? I've heard that soldiers are working on the front, and they have the right to support what they think is the ideal candidate to be emperor, and as long as it doesn't violate the military discipline of the army, it's not a big deal. ”

Wren reacted indifferently to Cassiu's report, knowing that Cassius had a lot of resentment against the Far Eastern Army, after all, it had been defeated by the Far Eastern Army not long ago.

Even he himself was shot by Roland, and for a general like Cassiu, who has risen step by step from the bottom and will take revenge, he will never give up easily.

"But Your Highness, you have listened to what they are saying, this army should support you unconditionally, in fact, it was true before, but since you came to the royal capital, there have been discordant voices, and those fools actually say that 'Lord Lin Ye' is not bad, it is really a great crime!"

Cassius was very resentful of this, and fortunately it was not his subordinates who said such things, otherwise he would definitely have cut it first and then tried his best to rectify it.

"Cathew, calm down, don't you think so?" Wren asked, taking his eyes off the map and calmly looking at Cassiu.

"Your Highness, what did you say?" Cassius looked surprised and asked again, wanting to confirm further.

"I said that I was just a reckless man who had led troops in the army since I was a child, and I was good at letting me lead soldiers and kill people, but do you really think that I was the right person to govern the country? At this point, Lin Ye should be better at it than me, right?" Wren asked lightly.

His attitude didn't look like he was joking at all, he was very serious, which made Cassius not know how to answer him for a while.

"Actually, I also know this, and I have discussed a lot with my second brother, this country has experienced enough misfortunes, what is needed is stability, it is no longer an endless war, I am not suitable for governing the country, and although the second brother has the means, he lacks enough prestige. ”

"If the second brother becomes the emperor, although he can win the support of a group of nobles, but the Far East Army, the Rose Army, the Medusa Army, including you, can you be convinced? ”

Wren shook his head slightly, he got up and walked out of the tent to look at the starry sky, this war that lasted for several years was about to end.

But before it ends, there is an unprecedented frenzy!
