Chapter 206: A Dead Man's Idea?

Changhe Town.

The lord saw the smiles on the faces of Grandlon and Forsette.

I also saw a huge fishing net falling from the sky.

In the city, there have also been a large number of ambushes.

Grandlon's Lion Lake City Flag Guards appeared in the front street, and the elite who had escaped from Eagle Talon with Forsette had also come from the two loaves of bread.

Grandron and Forsette, Duke Alma's son-in-law and son, actually wanted to copy Alma's trick to capture Godric?

But Leon, who was blocked by the city gate, did not stop.

Even, a mocking smile appeared on Leon's face.

"Trumpet! Shoot the arrows!"

The lord shouted, and then rode his horse to speed up again, and rushed straight in the direction where Grandon and Forsette were.

"Ambush me? Who doesn't have an ambush yet?"

Yes, who hasn't had an ambush yet, Grandlon didn't close the town of Long River, and the dart masters of Long River Express had already received orders to ambush in the city a few hours ago.

If you really didn't have enough people in Changhe Town, the lord wouldn't dare to approach Changhe Town with just such a few people......

In fact, Leon really didn't expect that Grandon would be able to form an alliance with Forsette to put aside his previous suspicions.

But want to use Duke Alma to deal with Leon the way Duke Alma dealt with Godric?

Godric had come with Leon, and he himself was a few miles away......

Godric had of course mentioned it to Leon when he was covered in fishing nets in Long River, and that was what he had said about it an hour before.

There is a person who has been fooled by his side, how could Li Ang be ambushed in the same way?

Besides, Alma was heavily armed, and he didn't dare to get close to Godric......

But Grandlon and Forsette are only a few dozen meters away from Leon at this time!

And they were neither riding nor wearing armor at the moment—they could neither run nor fight, but they closed the gates......

If this fishing net failed to trap Li Ang, then I am afraid that it should not be said that they locked Li Ang in the city, it seems that they should be regarded as locking themselves and Li Ang together?

Although the gate behind the lord was closed, it did not affect the troops to blow the horn.

At the same time, the Noldor Guards who followed Leon into the city all shot silver Glaudo arrows!

The heavy cavalry of Shihu City in front fell dozens of people and horses under a rain of arrows, and the heavy cavalry at the front fell into a row on the street!

At the same time, the city was full of killings, and the dart divisions of the Long River Express fought together from three directions, but instead caught Grandon and Fawsett off guard - the dart masters were killed from behind their troops, and Eric rushed to the first with his sword.

The smiles on the faces of the two disappeared in an instant.

Now, it seems that Leon's troops have surrounded them?

And, before the huge fishing net landed on top of Li Ang's head, Li Ang had already rushed to a distance of only thirty meters from them.

Now the fishing net did fall, but almost instantaneously it was crushed by a dozen sharp blades raised from Li Ang's side, basically forming no effective obstacle, Li Ang still charged with a small piece of broken fishing net hanging from his body, and the horse did not stop much.

What to do with fishing nets falling from the sky?

Cut it......

As long as the weapon is sharp enough and the mentality is stable enough, while rushing and cutting, the fishing net will not cover people.

But standing stupidly can't do it, really waiting to fall down and wrap yourself around, people will tighten the net rope, at that time, if your hands and feet are bound, you can't cut it if you want to.

As long as the people who enter the city are mentally prepared, this kind of trick of covering people with fishing nets is actually not so easy to use, and this is not a steel wire net.

Besides, the guards around Leon are all Noldor Ranger with nimble swords and sharp blades, and they are not the kind of slow and bulky tin cans......

"Surrender or die!"

While shouting, Leon continued to rush towards Grand, who was turning around and running

Ryu and Forsette casually tossed aside a small piece of broken net hanging from their bodies.

Leon didn't dismount at all, and the wide streets of Changhe Town were enough for the horses to run.

In fact, the heavy cavalry of Lion Lake City on the opposite side were also on horseback, but they couldn't rush at this time.

The lord asked the Noldor rangers to release their arrows as soon as possible, just to shoot the heavy cavalry in the front row, so that the ownerless horses and corpses could block the other party's charge.

Although the streets are spacious, they are not plains after all, and dozens of corpses are enough to make the heavy cavalry unable to run for a while.

As long as these heavy cavalry can't speed up the charge at the first time, they will no longer be able to run, because the Noldor Ranger will make more and more corpses......

The Noldor rangers, who had just fought in the streets of Eagle Claw Fort, knew very well how to hinder the enemy, and the Noldor rangers in the back row had already consciously dismounted, and jumped onto the roof in three or two clicks.

In fact, the Noldor Ranger prefers foot combat most of the time, because of their light equipment and their dexterity enough. Although they all know how to ride horses, riding a horse can easily limit their advantages.

Besides, they are also not good at using long-pole weapons, and will only fight on horseback when they need to shoot on horseback.

Amazing archery, as well as light weights, dexterity and agility, this is the real advantage of the Noldor Ranger.

Just like now, the Noldors were able to climb up to the roof with ease, but Forsette's armoured archers had no intention of going up to the roof at all—they didn't dare to go up, and could easily fall down from the air.

That's the benefit of light weight and flexible gait......

The Noldor was half as heavy as a human archer, and his whole body was only thirty pounds including his underwear - this was still counting the thirty-two arrows in a full quiver, and the Noldor arrows were heavier, and one Noldor arrow was eight pounds.

The Noldor Ranger's suits are very peculiar, it is a set of rune armor weighing only a dozen pounds, which is clearly cloth armor, but it has the defense of plate armor, and it also has the cushioning effect of cloth armor - this is enchanted equipment.

Coupled with the fact that their swords, shields, and bows were relatively light, and they wore hoods on their heads, they were quite light in their entirety.

And the Noldor elves are all slender and thin types, and they are not big.

Even if it's a male Noldor, it's a hundred and fifty pounds at most, including people and equipment—that's the stronger kind. Risardylan was the stronger of the Noldors, but he was only one hundred and twenty pounds and fifty-five kilograms without weights.

This must be too light for an adult male human, but the Noldor elves are all like that, and the Noldor's thin appearance still has great strength.

Probably this is caused by the environment, they usually haunt the primeval forest, and they need to jump around on the branches of large trees, which is too heavy and really inconvenient.

The weight is light, the skills are nimble, and they are used to fighting on rickety branches, but now it is easy to go to the roof or something.

But human warriors are not so convenient, the average human archer even with human equipment adds up to at least two hundred pounds - a strong man with enough strength can become a qualified archer, how can it not be light, plus after all, the weight of the equipment is there.

Moreover, it is difficult for humans to learn the light steps of the Noldos.

Therefore, it is quite difficult for humans to fight on the roof, and the load-bearing capacity of the roof in these days is not very good, a few wooden beams are just wooden planks or terracotta, as long as you are not careful, you must step on a big hole and fall down......

However, the Noldor Ranger have been accustomed to moving on trees since childhood, and over the years they have naturally developed extremely light steps, as long as they can theoretically support the weight of their bodies, Noldor can basically move flexibly on them.

This gives the Noldor Ranger a great advantage in places where the terrain is difficult - the terrain doesn't limit them at all.

As we all know, a battle, if it is geographically advantageous, is basically half won.

If there is another person to draw, it is basically a win.

Now the location is there - the Noldor rangers

In a vantage point from above, the dart masters are behind the enemy.

There are also people, Changhe Town is Leon's home turf, and he is a crusader and rebel, and the local nobles and commoners will support him. In addition, if this battle is fought for a while, Godric will notice that something is wrong, and he will definitely come over for reinforcements.

As for the time of day...... Not anymore, the enemy doesn't have it anyway.

"Surrender or die!"

Seeing that Leon was about to rush in front of him, Grandlon and Forsette could only retreat step by step, and the expressions on their faces had all collapsed.

They didn't expect Leon to stop in the face of fishing nets, nor did they expect that there was such a large and well-equipped army in the city.

"Wait! Leon! You don't want to lose both, do you?!"

Forsette shouted loudly, turned and took a few steps back, waving his hands.

He knew Leon's skills - after all, he had been captured by Leon once, and he knew that he couldn't run away and couldn't beat him, so his reaction was obviously much faster than Grandlon.

Grandlon, on the other hand, glanced at Forsette with some surprise, hesitated, and slowed down a little.

"Make your troops lay down their arms!"

Leon shouted as he rode past Forsette and caught up with Grandlon.

"Ah! I surrender ......."

Grandlon glanced back, and Leon's sword had already been raised, so Grandlon immediately knelt on the ground and raised his hand.

Both of them are handsome men who know the times.

The elaborate ambush was soon hastily ended.

Both leaders surrendered, and their troops were certainly not able to resist to the end.

"Tell me, Forsette, what do you think? Didn't you defect to Ursula, why are you still doing things in Long River?"

Leon dragged one in one hand and dragged Forsette and Grandon to the base of the city wall for interrogation.

"Ursula? Ha...... She and Kedren are cheating on me! Throw me at Talon Castle to fend off the Raven Army...... I even want her life now......

When Forsette heard Ursula's name, his teeth itched with hatred.

"Oh? And what's going on? I thought you captured Kedron Talon...... So where did Kedren go?"

Leon really didn't know about such a thing, Brenus didn't mention it when he was in Eagle Claw Castle, and Leon hadn't seen Kedron's appearance, only knew that there was such a person.

"Who knows...... If I find him, I'll have to kill him......

"That's right, Kedren is the real bastard......

Grandron also scolded beside him.

"Alright, let's give an account of your affairs first, and I hope you will live long enough to kill him."

Li Ang frowned, it seemed that these two goods came together again because of the same hatred......

In fact, it is.

After leaving the battlefield of Talon Fort, Grandlon and Forsette went to the same place, the village of Payne.

Both of them were indeed familiar with the terrain around Lion Lake City, and even the routes they took were similar.

They had rescued each other in Talon Fort, and now that they met, they both scolded Kedren, which really made them both feel like they were both "fallen from the end of the world".

They didn't really have much of a grudge against each other - if they really had such a deep affection for Nelda, they would have started a mutiny in Lion Lake City......

What led to their conflict was nothing more than the insecurity of both of them - Fawsett killed Nerda to capture Lion Lake City, of course, thinking of killing Granlon, so as not to increase the danger, and Granlon, of course, could not sit idly by......

But now that Lion Lake City has been lost, the two have calmed down, and when they communicate with each other, they both feel that they have fallen for the evil of Kedren, and Kedren has not been happy from the beginning.

So the two decided not to kill each other again until they killed Kedran.

And they themselves are not in a good situation at the moment.

Forsette is treason

Needless to say, and Grandlon's use of the King's Seal to trick Godric into taking the town of Long River, he also knew that he would inevitably face the pursuit of the kingdom.

So they decided to cooperate, intending to go to Changhe Town first, at least to survive first.

Later, they meet an acquaintance in Long River, who gives them the idea to set a trap in Long River.

He asked Grandlon to act with Forsette in the same way that he had deceived Leon in front of the city gates.

That is, the previous rhetoric of Grandlon, who claimed that he had not committed treason, but had captured the rebel leader Fawsett and recaptured the Golden Seal for the king. But the golden seal can only be handed over to the king, so he has been waiting for the king to come and take over Changhe Town in person. If anyone dares to attack, burn down the town of Changhe and bury the city.

This rhetoric failed to frighten Leon, because it wasn't meant for Leon in the first place—it was originally intended for Brennus.

They didn't expect Leon to attack Changhe Town.

The two of them ran away before Leon could attack Talon Keep, and they only learned from the news that Leon and Brennus had together wiped out 5,000 Catons and repelled the Raven army.

But he didn't know that Leon could command the Noldor elves, and he didn't know that Leon still had so many troops in the city......

In their opinion, there are the Lion Lake City Banner Guards in Changhe Town, as well as Forsette's troops, plus a piece of nearly nine hundred elites.

Although the more than 500 newly recruited mercenaries secretly ran away a few days ago, even so, only Brenus or the king himself should have the ability to capture this city in the Lion Kingdom at present.

And it was indeed Fort Talon that Brenus led the team to before.

In fact, their judgment was right, the main force of the rebellion arranged by King Ulrik was indeed Duke Brennus, and Brennus originally planned to raise thieves in Changhe Town, so he also arranged undercover agents in advance.

But now, Brennus made a deal with Leon, and then let the undercover agent go to scrape the land of Lion Lake City, and it was Leon who came to Long River Town.

In fact, even their ambush in the city was not originally intended for Leon.

If Brenus came - even if the duke captured the town of Long River, he would not get any benefit for himself, and the town of Long River could not be given to him, so there was no reason for him to have to forcibly attack the city and lose his own troops.

If they don't attack the city, they won't enter the city, and the fishing nets and ambushes they set up are not for Brenus.

Sooner or later, Brenus will surely have the king informed and the king himself to come and receive it—the town of the Long River is the direct domain of the king, and the king's seal is always to be withdrawn.

Ulrik can take back the King's Seal and settle the rebellion with a single trip, which is actually a good deal, and Presumably Ulrique himself will not refuse.

Then Grandlon and Forsette will play another show in the city and ambush the king!

「…… That's it, we didn't expect you to come, but when we see your flag, we must see if we can stop you. But we found out that you don't have many troops, and your attitude is very firm, and it seems that you can't be fooled, so I deliberately let you charge, trying to catch you by force first...... I didn't expect you to have an ambush in the city......

Fawsett finished the plan, his face full of bitterness.

Although Grandlon's rhetoric seems a bit rudimentary, if it is applied to Brenus, it may really work, because Brenus did not intend to take down the town of Long River, and he will not get anything if he is defeated.

He originally wanted to collude inside and outside to scrape the ground.

So Brenus might extort a sum of money first, or let an undercover agent raid the town of River, but in any case, he will probably let the king run away after he has reaped the benefits.

It's a pity that Brenus didn't come, it was Leon who came......

Only Leon will not be fooled by his rhetoric, because Leon is a rebel, and the rebel territory he independently recovered can be legally occupied.

If Leon conquers Changhe Town, King Ulrik will at most find someone to divide Leon's power, or raise the tax requirements of Changhe Town, but he will not let Leon get nothing, otherwise he will not be able to be the king.

Only Leon will actually capture the town of Changhe......

"Do you want to capture the king and then go to another country? But if that's the case, I'm afraid that no country on this continent will dare to really accept you...... Who gave you this bad idea?"

Listening to these two men talk about this simple but somewhat feasible plan, Leon was a little puzzled - the capture of the king, as soon as this happened, any country would regard them as enemies.

Who would dare to accept a lord who had captured the king and defected to him? Aren't you afraid that you will fall into the same situation in the future?

"No, not to another country...... It's Aranrique...... His Royal Highness will sign a deed of exoneration with us."

Fawsett shook his head, "We also know that if we capture King Ulrik and go to other countries, it will definitely not be long before we die."

This is indeed possible.

If they can catch the king, they will be negotiating with Prince Aranrik.

Because, Prince Aranrik is likely to ascend to the throne immediately because the king was captured by the rebels......

It is indeed possible to exonerate King Ulrique for Prince Aranrique's pardon for them, as long as they do not harm Ulrique at all.

As long as Aranrik is willing to sign a pact of exoneration with them, the two rebels will not only survive, but also not lose their nobility.

Catching people with fishing nets is indeed a reasonable way to not hurt Ulrique at all.

And if Ulrique is captured and put back in, it is certainly unlikely that he will return to the throne.

It was a good plan for Prince Aranrik to ascend to the throne without harming his father.

"Aranrik, that makes sense...... Who gave you the idea? Is this guy in town?"

Li Ang understood and asked about the person behind the scenes.

"Igor, Igor Scholar, but he's not here now, saying that he wants to go back to Lion City to prepare a contract."

Grandron explained.

"How is this possible! Igor is dead! I killed it! How can a dead man give you an idea?"

Leon's face changed drastically - Igor was shot dead in the Seven Forks Fortress and died right in front of him!

Wendatier and Wenttilf were shot together!

One arrow passed through the chest, the other hit the throat, both were fatal in both places, and he was out of breath on the spot, how could he still be alive?!
