Chapter 749, Imperial City Defense Line
In front of the imperial city of the Brilliant Empire, countless soldiers were waiting for them, desperately carrying supplies to the city walls.
After this period of turmoil, the Bright Empire finally realized the seriousness of the matter.
After all, in the blink of an eye, a third of the huge territory has been swallowed, and nearly half of the remaining is in civil strife.
If they can't react to this, then they won't have a chance to react in the future.
After sending the two fastest legions, the Wizard Legion and the Cavalry Force, out to prepare for a strong suppression, only to be outflanked and destroyed by the other side, the people of the Bright Empire finally panicked and began to gather troops everywhere to form a defensive line, relying on the Imperial City to prepare for a defensive battle for the front line.
What? Why the Imperial City as the front line? Of course, this is not because the royal family of the Bright Empire wants to play the Son of Heaven to guard the country.
It's because the area of the Imperial City close to the Carlo Empire has basically fallen!
Those cities that have not yet fallen by luck have also fallen into a situation where they are surrounded by enemies, and they can't escape, and it is only a matter of time before they are swallowed up.
It is not appropriate to be on the front line who is on the front line!
And after studying the characteristics of these enemies, the royal family of the Bright Empire, who originally wanted to retreat to the back and stay away from the battlefield, simply stayed on the front line and did not leave.
Because they found that even if they ran, it was useless.
After their observation, everyone had discovered a very terrible thing.
That is, as long as the other party is allowed to enter the city alone, the other party can incite a group of citizens to rebel within three days.
Then it spread more and more, until the whole people rioted.
Today's royal family no longer expects to regain the lost territory, but only to be able to hold the line.
After all, how to take it back? Outside, there was a mob of people, not even a single obedient citizen.
Either you kill them all, or they kill you all, and you can't ask for it at all!
The royals and the defenders who had seen the terrifying power of this mob were now trembling.
Anyone who dares to take a step closer to the city, regardless of whether it is a refugee deserter or an official or nobleman, will be killed.
No one is allowed to enter the city, and no one is allowed to come near.
After all, no one can guarantee that there will be a hidden mob inside.
If one really comes in, it will spread like a plague and scatter quickly, and if the city is broken, it will be a blink of an eye!
On top of the huge city tens of meters high, the current emperor of the Brilliant Empire stood above with a blank face, shaking the territory in the distance.
It had been his domain a few days ago, and it provided him with a lot of money and supplies every year.
And now, the little sheep that were slaughtered by others have carried all kinds of farm tools, and they want to hang them all on the city gate, and they have become more terrifying than wolves.
At least they're just asking for money, and the group below is really bent on dying.
Even standing on this towering wall, the king could see the dense crowd below, spreading into the distance without a trace.
They were all enemies who had come to attack the city, and among the enemies, several huge statues of goddesses nearly ten meters high were erected.
That is the cause of everything, the culprit that led to the rebellion of the people.
A god who suddenly appeared, a god who didn't know where to go, a madman who frantically provided all kinds of supplies and would lead the souls of believers to heaven, who didn't care about consumption at all, and didn't understand what she was trying to do!
Fortunately, the supplies provided by this madman did not include all kinds of heavy weapons for the siege of the city.
And they responded quickly enough to close the city in advance and not let anyone in.
Only then can they rely on natural hazards to hold this place.
Otherwise, just think about the city after it was broken............ No! It only takes a corner to break open and let that group of guys in, and the emperor shudders.
It was precisely because of his high position that he understood how terrifying the treatment given by this goddess was.
Unlimited Supplies! Eternal life! This is not to say that this is an ordinary person, even if he is an emperor, he has been dreaming of these two things!
If it weren't for the entire royal family standing beside him, and the countless nobles standing behind him, desperately trying to intercept him, even he, the emperor, would have the heart to surrender............ Well, the main reason why he did not surrender was the fear of being hanged.
After all, ordinary people surrender to become believers, and he, the king, surrenders, and if he doesn't do it, he will become a sacrifice.
It is precisely because of this that there are countless nobles in the city, who are full of civil and military affairs, and now they will desperately defend with the same hatred.
After all, who hasn't done a few foolish things at the top of the hierarchy, and even if they don't, you can't guarantee that your family members don't.
If one covers up the sin, everyone must die!
Looking at the boundless sea of people in the distance, the emperor couldn't help but sigh and turned his head to look at the general next to him.
"General, what are the chances of winning this battle?"
Hearing this, the general quickly raised his chest and raised his head, with a serious look on his face.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, they lack masters, lack weapons, and they will never be able to defeat them with their bare hands in the face of such a majestic city............ It's just ............"
“…… Just what? It's all this time, what nonsense are you talking about! Say! ”
"Yes! Your Majesty! It's just that some time ago, when they attacked the city, didn't they use big kites to drop a lot of death squads, although everyone was shot dead on the spot, but many leaflets flew into the city, so there were a lot of bad remarks in the city, Your Majesty, you see............"
"It's all this time, do you still need me to say what to do? If the people and soldiers in the city are also bewitched into rebellion, let alone this city, all the nobles in the back city will have to die! You didn't even flee to the ends of the earth! ”
"Got it!"
The general nodded quickly, and the emperor who saw this scene was still not at ease, and he opened his mouth and was about to say something, but suddenly heard an exclamation from the side.
"Whose general is that! What a brave warrior! ”
Hearing this, the emperor and the general hurriedly turned their heads, only to see a group of cavalry roaring like thorns in the boundless sea of people below.
Everywhere you go, all enemies retreat! The crowd was powerless!
Looking at the familiar flag below, and the familiar figure rushing to the front!
The corners of the emperor's mouth twitched on the city wall, and he exclaimed violently.
"The Great Prince?!"
Just as the exclamations were heard, the cavalry troops in the distance were already approaching the city walls.
The eldest prince who rushed to the front waved the sword in his hand (imitated by General Wolong) and shouted suddenly.
"Father! Open the door! I've discovered their secret! Father! ”
This deafening roar instantly alarmed everyone on the city wall.
Not only were they alarmed, but the mob under the city walls also fell into a riot in an instant, and countless people roared and charged at this cavalry.
"He's a member of the royal family! Kill him and sacrifice to the goddess! ”
"Kill!"
