Chapter 57: Rescue
The light of the portal has dimmed a lot with the arrival of hundreds of Minotaur armies.
Gail seemed to the sidelines that except for the Minotaur leader, who had extraordinary power to cast spells, the other soldiers were no different from the human troops except for their sturdy bodies.
Thinking of this, Gale couldn't help but feel a little distressed, he thought that he could get the support of a powerful army, so as to defeat the tyrannical and mediocre empire, but he didn't expect the scale of the aid army to be so small, even if the minotaur can be one as ten, but the empire's army is enough to have hundreds of thousands of capable troops, which I am afraid can only be used to stuff the empire's teeth.
Now that the ritual has been ruined by an unknown force, and the Minotaur does not listen to the command of his own Snow Prince, and even has to take over the command of the Snow Tribe, how can he explain to the long-awaited tribal elders?
Gale looked at Nikolai who was talking with the leader of the Minotaur with hatred, it was precisely because of his demagogy that his young and vigorous self would listen to his nonsense! Now Gale understood the situation, and he and the empress who was far away in San Caron were used by him as pawns, bridging his connection with the other world.
Gale held back his anger, and the Minotaur leader had just said that they would do their best to stabilize the link between the dimensional rifts, and more troops would come to join them. Their goal is now the same – to destroy the corrupt imperial regime.
Gail forced a smile and got up and walked over to the leader, discussing with them what to do next.
According to incomplete statistics, three floors of houses collapsed in the city under the influence of explosions and earthquakes, and four acropolises were also more or less affected, but due to the lack of manpower, the empire could not count the losses of these acropolis.
After Russell and the others experienced a rest, they gradually calmed down the panic in their hearts, and when they saw the tragic scenes outside full of mourning, Russell and Carlos took their men to the disaster relief respectively.
The once prosperous city of Saint-Caron was now in ruins, covered with broken stones and broken glass, and cracks and cracks across the ground.
There was a faint cry for help from under the shattered stone slabs, and the injured people were anxiously digging through the rubble to save their relatives, regardless of their injuries.
Carter rushed forward to help them lift the rocks, and the people cried when they saw someone coming to help, asking Russell to help them find their relatives who were hidden underground.
Russell couldn't bear to look at this tragic scene, and hurriedly commanded later: "Everyone disperse, try to save the seriously damaged places, hurry up and move quickly!"
After speaking, Russell ran to the nearest ruin, began to dig up the ruins, and everyone dispersed to begin the difficult search and rescue road. Carlos and the butler hurried to Russell's side, bringing shovels, pickaxes and other tools, with the help of these tools, they can save a few survivors.
After a while, the city guards also rushed to the city where Russell and them were, and looked at Russell who was rushing to rescue, and hurriedly joined the disaster relief team with his soldiers without saying hello.
Empress Gladys had returned to the fortified palace castle, her only five-year-old heir, Prince Henry, in her arms, comforting the frightened little Henry.
When Henry stopped sobbing, the chief dragoon captain who had gone to arrest Nikolai and David's family returned to the palace.
After the captain half-knelt and saluted, he respectfully reported: "Your Majesty, the knights, according to your orders, have arrested Duke Nicholas and the family of Dean David, and most of the Night Swords led by Duke Nicholas have surrendered, only some diehards are still resisting, and the dragoons are encircling and suppressing. ”
Gladys was very satisfied and said, "You have worked hard!"
"It is our pleasure to serve Her Majesty!" the captain swore aloud, and then looked at the Empress with some hesitation.
Gladys saw that the captain had something unspeakable, and said kindly, "Do you have any ideas?" ”
The captain bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, when we were arresting the grandson of Duke Nicholas, Sir Daune, he was leading his attendants to rescue the suffering, and when we arrested him, he was shocked by his grandfather's rebellion, and he should not have known about it. ”
Gladys showed a playful expression and affirmed, "You helped Dawn speak, did you take any benefit from him?"
The captain hurriedly bowed his head and explained: "The subordinates don't dare, it's just that Dawn is a child who his subordinates have watched grow up since childhood, although he is rebellious, his nature is not bad, so he told me that he hopes that Her Majesty the Empress can give him a chance to atone for his sins!"
"Chance? I gave Nikolai a chance, but is this how their family treats the royal family!" the empress rebuked angrily when she thought of the frightened scene not long ago.
After a while, Gladys was slightly relieved, looking at the captain who was kneeling on the ground without saying a word, she said impatiently: "You go down, I will meet the minister soon, don't get in the way in front of me!"
