Chapter 162: The Engagement Ceremony
Belinda Berlisingen turned over and dismounted, the bright red armor was undoubtedly the most brilliant color on the battlefield, and at her signal the heavily armored knights stopped advancing, five hundred against four, it was a battle without suspense. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Father, it's too late for you to turn back. "The owner of the red armor extended his right hand to the Hebrew Burliingen, and it was an invitation.
The old duke looked at his daughter without saying a word, and the wrinkles on his already weather-beaten face deepened, and the whole person suddenly seemed to be a few years older. He walked over to his daughter, and the old duke held out his right hand.
"Smack. A resounding slap in the face, Belinda's face with a red palm print, her father in full view of his daughter's invitation in a very fierce way.
At the moment when the slap hit Belinda in the face, countless crossbows were already on the bowstrings, and the Rose Knights drew their swords in anger, and the cold heads of the knights' spears were all aimed at Hebrew Burlihinden.
"Stop!" Belinda, the master of the Rose Knight, resounded throughout the audience, even if she was controlled by her own father in front of everyone, even if her father stood on the opposite side of her, he was his own father after all.
Belinda looked at the half-grown girl who was guarded in the center, she recognized the face, although she was slightly surprised that the prince had become a princess, but there was no doubt that this was what Aldrich was looking for.
"Father, accept it, do you want to see the kingdom fall apart, and the blood of the Galicians is too unworthy!" it was clear that Belinda had not given up, and there was no one in the room who did not want to fight her father more than her.
"Aldrich is the one who can make the kingdom stable, and only he can unite the kingdom, do you expect this little girl to take charge of the overall situation?" Belinda's words did not shy away from Juana's contempt, and in her mind, only Aldrich could stabilize the current situation in the kingdom.
"When's it. The old duke sighed silently, and instead of answering his daughter's question, he directly asked this clueless sentence.
But Belinda understood, she knew what her father was going to say, she knew that her father valued honor even more than his own life, so he couldn't understand his betrayal, and Belinda's father was asking her when she decided to follow Aldrich.
"It doesn't matter now, father, as long as you are on our side now, even if you don't do anything, I can guarantee that there will be a place for you by His Highness Aldrich's side. Belinda still underestimated her father's stubbornness, and he was willing to give everything to the old duke's approval.
Belinda struggles to convince her father that she hopes to avoid civil war. If Aldrich's greatest threat, Juan, is removed, the South will be on its own.
"Father!" Belinda's voice already carried a hint of pleading.
"Enough. When did you decide, don't I still know enough!" the old duke was slightly annoyed, and he did not want to repeat his words a third time.
The sound echoed in Belinda's ears, and there was no doubt that she had an almost stubborn father, and she was just as stubborn. "On the second day of the change in the royal capital. ”
Belinda replied to her father, she knew that it was important for her father to be involved in the murder of the king, and it was about whether or not he would kill her.
The old duke was a little relieved after hearing his daughter's words, he at least knew that his daughter was definitely not for power, she was old, and the old duke didn't care much about anything, and he didn't know why he cared so much about honor, and he was almost stubborn.
"Belinda, it's too late for you to turn back. The old duke also stretched out his right hand, just as his daughter had done to him before, and even they said exactly the same thing.
Belinda looked at her father's old face, how she wanted to stretch out her right hand, but she saw the knights around her, if she really followed her father, how many people would die in battle, and how many innocent people would be involved in the war? 100,000, or 1 million?
"I refuse. Belinda's words have made the father and daughter have nothing to talk about, they have different ideals between them, Hebrew Berlisingen can never tolerate Aldrich's approach, he killed his father and usurped the country, the crime is not punishable, even if he starts a civil war, the blood is shed, the old duke will put the orthodox heir of the previous king on the throne, this is to be loyal to the country. Belinda Berlihingen, on the other hand, could not bear the suffering of the people, and she did not agree with Juan, a half-grown teenager, no, she should say that she was a girl now. She has absolutely no control over the entire kingdom, and Belinda does not want to fight a pointless civil war that will drain the blood of the Galicians. Aldrich is talented and forbearing, she has chosen her allegiance to the lord, and as a knight, she inherits her father's fine tradition, once she is allegiant, she will not rebel for the rest of her life, this is for the people of the kingdom.
The old duke looked at his daughter, and in her eyes he had seen the outcome of the matter.
Belinda is back on her horse, and it is clear that negotiations between the most powerful father and daughter in the North have broken down, and today, perhaps the first Duchess in history will be born in the North.
The bright red armor stood under her rose banner, and with just one gesture, the hoplites who were already ready to attack had already started to charge!
The ground in the central square of the small city shook, and the heavily armed knights maintained a neat line, they held the knights' spears aloft, and the cold spear heads were about to pierce the bodies of the four people surrounded in the center.
"Young man, borrow me the sword. "The old duke borrowed a short sword from Yu Chen, he is not an awakened person, but he is a heavenly knight, even if he can't break out of the encirclement, he will at least pull dozens of people on his back.
In front of the army, the strength of the individual is always small, even the saint-level powerhouse has no way to resist an entire legion, this is the first time Yu Chen has fought with the heavy cavalry, they lined up in an orderly formation and charged straight towards him!
Belinda wore a knight's helmet, which made it impossible to read her expression. In this battle, she has always played the role of the commander, she knows her father's strength, she knows it well.
The first wave of charges was preceded by a round of heavy crossbows, and Yu Chen was forced to open the wind shield to the maximum, and he didn't want to be attritioned by the enemy's heavy crossbows in the first wave.
Diamond-shaped pillars of light, rain of fire, water snakes, earth thorns, Yu Chen and Daisy used all their strength to attack enemies from all directions, the old duke was also the first, Yu Chen's short sword was like a poisonous snake in his hands, Hebrew Bolisingen could always appear at the most strange angle to give the enemy a fatal blow, and in just a few seconds, several heavily armored knights had been killed by him one after another.
"The Awoken. Belinda's mouth muttered, Yu Chen and Daisy caused a lot of obstacles to Belinda, and in a short confrontation of ten seconds, their side had already lost more than thirty heavily armored knights.
Belinda gave new instructions, and the Rose Knights began to change formations, even if there was a high-ranking awakened person today, she was confident that she would keep him forever.
Yu Chen and Daisy's attack speed gradually slowed down, they had already used too much strength, and they found that their attacks were causing fewer and fewer casualties to the enemy, and it was clear that Belinda's adjustment had worked.
The Rose Knights were still charging without fear of death, and Yu Chen's body was already dyed red, of course, it was all the blood of the enemy. And Daisy was panting heavily, this was the first time she had faced so many enemies, it was obvious that now her physical strength was obviously overwhelmed, and the old duke seemed to be at ease, but Yu Chen could see that the old duke's speed was gradually slowing down, this was a drain, Belinda wanted to drag them to death.
The horn sounded again, and the Rose Knights stopped their charge, the casualties of more than a hundred people did not shake their morale, and Belinda's men still maintained their high fighting spirits. Yu Chen and the others have already consumed a lot of physical strength, and after a few rounds of confrontation, the old duke also seems to be powerless, and Juana can only protect herself at most, and from time to time she has to rely on others to help.
The first wound on Yu Chen's body had already appeared, and it was obviously bad news, and this was just the beginning. The hoplites retreat in an orderly manner, the half-decayed oak tree banner stands above the square, and Prince Aldrich's navy will take over the hoplite knights' new charge.
The old duke gasped, the short sword in his hand still sharp. I don't know what kind of material it is. ’
The enemy didn't give the old duke much room to think, they came like a tidal wave, compared to Belinda's men, these sailors charged more densely and more disorderly, Yu Chen's wind blade had already taken dozens of lives before they could rush in front of them.
After a short encounter, the sailors suffered great casualties, they began to be afraid, they began to waver, these ordinary soldiers did not know who the four people in front of them were, they just obeyed the order, obeyed the one who now sat on the throne in the royal capital. Aldrich didn't count on these sailors from the beginning, it was enough for them to blockade the port, and the real treasure was on Belinda.
The hearts of the sailors began to fear, those people were simply killers, they cried out, and began to retreat, only to find that their original allies, the Rose Knights, had sealed their way out. From the beginning they were cannon fodder and can only be cannon fodder.
The Rose Knights held their spears aloft, and the bright spears were forcing these sailors, and they had no choice but to charge at the four people in the center of the square, Juana's strength was almost overdrawn, her knife had been curled, and now the sword did not know from which corpse she had turned over. Daisy's situation was no better than Juana's, she had almost exhausted her energy, and her control elements had reached the limit, and she didn't know if she would be able to attack again. The only one who was in a slightly better situation was the old duke, whose clothes had already been stained red by blood. But his gaze was still sharp, and the strong murderous aura made the least number of people who chose to attack the old duke. Yu Chen's whole body was already soaked, not only the blood of the enemy was on his body, but his sweat had also flowed all over his body, the continuous consumption of the enemy had already played a role, and it was only a matter of time before the four people in the central square were defeated.
With Belinda's order, a strong crossbow salvo was fired, and hundreds of crossbow arrows roared towards the center of the square, the first to be hit was not Yu Chen and the others, the bodies of the sailors were pierced, the severe pain and fear had made them lose their minds, they rushed frantically towards the center of the square, facing the final charge of the already hysterical sailors Yu Chen and his party of four had exhausted their last strength.
After three volleys, the first heavy crossbow finally broke through Yu Chen's barrier, and Juana was shot in the calf before he could dodge.
It was as if it were the clarion call for a final attack, and without Belinda's instructions, the Rose Knights launched a final charge.
"Father, I'm sorry. "Red Rose drew her sword, she had joined the charge, if her own father was going to die, then it was better to die under her sword!
Juana held herself back from screaming, she could no longer stand, and looking at the fearless knights, she had some regret, regret that she had swept her best friends in.
"Roar!" Yu Chen burst out with astonishing energy like a beast in a desperate situation, and he charged the heavy cavalry with the long sword he had snatched from the corpse, and in the square in the center of the small city, a young man faced an enemy a hundred times his size.
"Here, that's the end. Yu Chen's heart is unwilling, he hasn't revealed the secret of Azure yet, he hasn't figured out his family yet, he hasn't seen his mother yet, and he doesn't want his most beloved girl to die here with him!
On Yu Chen's way towards the heavy cavalry, Azure accidentally slipped from Yu Chen's chest, and the withered, parchment-like Azure regained its vitality again! The square was already red with blood, and there were broken limbs everywhere, and those bright red blood were undoubtedly the best tonic for Azure!
A strange scene appeared, the picture seemed to be frozen, everyone did not feel the passage of time, everything seemed to slow down. Everything happens as if it were in slow motion, Azure is sucking greedily, and the taste of blood brings it back to life!
The blue brilliance flows, shining so brightly that people can't open their eyes. The blue floated in the air, and its holy aura seemed to make people want to bow down. The fearless knights did not stop, they cared only about the orders of Lord Belinda and not their own humble life.
A huge blue curtain of light spreads out, first piercing through the bodies of the first row of Rose Knights, and then the knights all turn into ice crystals! Then the second row, then the third row! More and more heavily armored knights are turning into ice sculptures, their expressions completely frozen. Belinda couldn't believe the scene in front of her, this was simply beyond the power of mortals, it was a miracle!
Belinda felt fear for the first time, and she was deeply struck by this power that did not belong to mortals. Just as she closed her eyes, ready to be transformed into an ice sculpture herself, the blue curtain of light came to an abrupt end.
