Chapter 47: The Hunt
In the palace of Suno, the richly decorated hall is now empty, many powerful people have long fled to other countries, and the throne above the palace sits the already emaciated Lawrence. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Several of his sons and daughters had already been escorted out of Suno, and news had already been heard outside the temple that the walls had been breached at midnight, and fierce street fighting continued until dawn, but finally ended with the capture of Roger and the capture of a large number of soldiers.
Now the outside of the palace has been surrounded by layers, even above the main hall, there is no net of heaven and earth, and the royal guards who retreat inside the palace cannot take Lawrence away from the air.
"Go out and surrender, it's all over. ”
Lawrence looked at the bloodied Royal Guard soldiers, who had decided to give up resistance, and too many had died for his selfishness.
"Your Majesty, I'll defend you to the death!"
Although it is impossible for a dozen guards to have a chance to escape against tens of thousands of enemy soldiers, the honor of being a royal guard does not allow them to escape, and they are proud to protect His Majesty all their lives, and the most dangerous time is when they play their greatest role.
"Your Majesty, we rushed out to attract their attention, and you took the opportunity to escape from the apse!"
One of the guards tried to make a last-ditch effort, but Lawrence didn't answer him.
Slowly, Lawrence on the throne stood up, and he drew from his waist the sword that had been passed down from the royal family for generations, symbolizing supreme power.
"Don't!!!Your Majesty!!"
"We're going to be able to kill it!!!!"
"Your Majesty!!"
A dozen guards rushed towards Lawrence, but unfortunately it was too late, Lawrence raised the sword in his hand and ended his life with the glory of countless emperors.
Blood stained the throne red, and Suno's reign came to an end, and a country that had stood in the West for thousands of years was gone.
"Avenge Your Majesty!!"
More than a dozen guards rushed out of the main hall, and the only His Majesty they needed to protect was gone, their glory collapsed in an instant, their responsibilities collapsed in an instant, and there was only revenge in their eyes.
"General, are you caught alive?"
The soldier next to Tru asked.
"Kill...."
After saying that, Tru turned to leave, he knew that these guards who rushed out of the main hall did not intend to live, if they were captured, it would be their greatest shame, and death was their destination.
As for Lawrence Troo, he had long expected how the king of a country could make himself a prisoner, especially Lawrence, who was ambitious but ultimately failed.
The clean-up work lasted for several days, the ruined walls and palaces needed to be repaired, which took even longer, and a large number of craftsmen were transferred from the border city to Suno, and the army was strictly restrained from disturbing the people.
Zhang Yilin was never stingy with victory, and the soldiers who had complained that they could not plunder the city were rewarded within a few days, along with a batch of gold as the craftsmen arrived in Suno.
Hundreds of thousands of gold coins were distributed as rewards to all combatants, including the Los Angeles army and recruits, with no special care and no discrimination between old and new, and were distributed by special personnel organized by Tru.
Zhang Yilin did this in order to win people's hearts, the Los Angeles army proved their worth with their actions, and the recruits also used their bravery to achieve honor, the reward was not only gold coins, a large number of demonic beasts meat and wine were transported to the station, and the meat among them was some cherished fourth-order demonic beasts, which most people could not taste in their lifetime.
When the whole of Suno was still immersed in the joy of victory, hundreds of miles away on the Kingdom Road, a convoy of 100 people was in a hurry, and the convoy was full of members of the Suno royal family, and Lawrence's family was here.
Dozens of powerful guards fled with them to the Wester Empire, one of the three major empires in the West and the most powerful country in the entire West.
Unlike a few small cities in Sunuo, there are hundreds of Westlight cities, which control one-third of the army of the entire West, which is much stronger than the other two empires, and once Lawrence's family escapes here, they will not have to worry about Zhang Yilin's pursuit.
The convoy was packed with more than a dozen large boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, enough for the exiled royal family to live an upper-class life in West, but the journey was very long, and there were many dangers along the way, but fortunately there were dozens of guards, who were strong enough to reach their destination safely.
However, they forgot that there was more than one enemy at this time, Zhang Yilin did not issue a hunt and kill order for Su Nuo's royal family, and Su Nuo still had many powerful people who were originally close to Lawrence, and now they were afraid that Zhang Yilin would be unfavorable to them, and most of them had fled.
To maintain the prosperity of a city, the local aristocracy is an important factor, Zhang Yilin does not want the newly arrived Suno to have an economic collapse, and the pursuit and killing of Lawrence's widow and orphan is undoubtedly a major blow to the nobles who remain, there is a castle guard in Even if they escape into West, there is a way, but for now, let them go for a while, so as to appease the aristocracy.
But Shengjin didn't plan to let go of the fleeing Suno royal family, in their opinion, it was impossible for anyone to run away after relying on the account, and Shengjin had always been merciful to such people.
"Queen, we still have a long way to go, there is a town ahead, let's go and rest. ”
The captain of the guard suggested that since the fall of Su Nuo, they have fled all the way and rarely rested, most of them have taken a short rest on the side of the Kingdom Road, and now everyone is tired.
"It's okay, everyone is tired, just rest in front for a while, and don't call me queen anymore in the future, I'm no longer the queen of Sunuo. ”
The convoy drove slowly into the town, although it was the middle of the night, but the silence here was terrible, although a few houses were lit up, but there was no sound, not even the sound of watching the livestock.
As soon as the captain of the guard stepped into the town, he knew that something was wrong, and immediately ordered the formation to be reversed and immediately withdrawn, even if there were no problems here, do not take risks.
"Retreat! All guards maintain formation and enter the combat stance!"
Although you don't find the enemy, you can only be safe by defending in advance.
"What's going on out there?"
The queen, who was sitting in the carriage, poked her head out and asked.
"It's okay ma'am, we can't stay here tonight, you take care of your family, we're about to speed up. ”
The captain of the guard was right, all the people in the town were dead, and a large number of Shengjin's killers were ambushed in it, but unfortunately they were detected and let the convoy flee.
Hundreds of people carried a large amount of supplies, and even if they were running at full speed, they couldn't run much faster, but they finally escaped from the town.
At this moment, an old man appeared on the road in front of the convoy with a lamp.
"Appeal ....................."
The speeding convoy stopped, and the captain of the guard saw that someone was blocking the way and immediately sent two guards to drive him away, but the two guards did not move as soon as they approached the old man.
"What's wrong, get her out of the way and let the convoy pass!"
As soon as the captain of the guard finished speaking, he saw two guards beckoning to him, to be precise, the severed hands of the two guards.
"Enemy Attack !!"
"Defending the Carriage !!"
The guards immediately set up a defensive formation.
"I haven't drunk the blood of royals yet. ”
The old man turned into a black shadow and rushed towards the convoy.
