"Bang dang!"

With a loud bang, the ladder with poor quality was directly broken under the blow of the boulder.

"Ahh

"Ahh

Bursts of screams followed.

The soldiers on the ladder fell down and smashed on the soldiers under the city, and many unlucky people went to Huangquan together.

The worst thing is that those who are not dead are not only suffering in pain, but also enjoying a feast of golden juice.

The tragic siege battle did not shake the determination of the rebels to attack the city.

"Withdraw our men first and replace them with the warrior camp.

Tell them that if they can't take the city of Audesburg, their wives and children will be sacrificed! ”

The Lord of Darkness said indifferently.

He has no experience in fighting with soldiers, but he is a professional at playing with people's hearts.

It is enough to take away the young and strong simply for the sake of war, and the old and young women and children are completely a burden, which will only increase the logistical difficulty and slow down the march.

In an instant, the young man who had only trained for a few days was pushed onto the battlefield.

After a change of people, the pressure on the defenders was immediately greatly reduced. The city walls, which had been full of dangers, suddenly turned into safety.

However, Viscount Petrovich, who was defending the city, was not happy at all at the moment. The enemy fights a war of attrition with cannon fodder troops, and the city of Zudsburg simply cannot withstand attrition.

It was all the result of a strategic miscalculation, and before that he had sent troops out to suppress the rebellion. Somehow, he encountered the main force of the rebels, and the army collapsed in the middle.

Before the start of the defense of Audesburg, Viscount Petrovich had lost a large number of troops, and now the military strength of the defenders of the city is not strong.

One of the most important reasons why the Netherworld chose to attack the Odyssburg is that they are soft persimmons.

For the rebels who were just starting to gain momentum, victory was very important. Only continuous victories can unite people's hearts.

"The county guard, the enemy is crazy. It was completely desperate to rush forward, and the materials for defending the city were consumed very quickly.

If it goes on like this, I'm afraid it will ......"

Before the middle-aged officer finished speaking, Viscount Petrovich angrily rebuked: "No fear!

In any case, Zudsburg must be defended!

If the strategic materials to defend the city are insufficient, then go and demolish the house. Even if you don't want to fight the lord's mansion, you can't let the city fall! ”

Determined determination has not been able to inspire.

It was too late, and if we had realized this earlier, and invested a little more resources in the military, we would not have fallen to the point where we are now.

The tragic battle continued, and the reinforcements that Viscount Petrovich had pinned his hopes on never arrived.

To be exact, none of his letters for help were delivered.

The Netherworld cultists hidden in the city destroyed the communication magic array in advance, and the messenger was besieged and killed by the cult masters as soon as he left the city.

At midnight, the battle continued. The originally strong city walls have become precarious under the continuous onslaught of the rebels.

In order to block the rebels, the city gate was sealed during the morning battle.

The isolated defenders, whose morale was on the verge of collapse.

If it weren't for Viscount Petrovich personally going to the front line to command, and constantly painting cakes for his subordinates to boost morale, I am afraid that the morale of the army would have collapsed long ago.

Dragging his tired body, Viscount Petrovich continued to patrol the city defenses. Now he didn't dare to rest at all, lest he wake up and hear the bad news of the city's destruction.

"County guard, it's not good!

A large number of undead creatures suddenly appeared in the city, killing wantonly......"

Before the herald could finish his words, a bone spur was inserted in his back, and he fell to the ground and died.

Immediately after that, a group of undead creatures came to kill this way. The guards hurried forward to intercept them, and the two sides soon got into a scuffle.

The old man who was guarding Viscount Petrovich immediately said: "The situation is a little bad, Petrovich will directly arrange the back road!" ”

In the era of the world, the city can die, but the family cannot be destroyed.

"Third uncle, as a county guard, I must live and die with the city, and now there is no need for guards here.

Take your family descendants and leave the secret passage!

If you have a chance to keep your territory, then you should tell your younger generations to take precautions and not waste your armaments! ”

Viscount Petrovich said with a bitter face.

Recalling his past drunken gold fans, he often spent a lot of money in order to fight for a face in the aristocratic circle.

If this money had been spent on armaments, why would today's embarrassment have occurred.

In fact, Viscount Petrovich was not the only one who was drunk on money, the whole family lived a life of luxury.

The daily expenses of the family are several times the military expenses. What really spent a lot of money to build was the small escort team in front of him.

It is enough to maintain the rule and protect their safety in normal times. Until now, at most, it will cover the younger generations to break through and leave.

After a slight hesitation, the old man nodded slowly. After a few more glances at Viscount Petrovich, he turned around and left.

"Remain rational in times of crisis", this is one of the survival rules of the aristocracy.

If the glory of the family is to continue, someone must make sacrifices for it.

The sacrifice can be the children of ordinary families, or the patriarch of Viscount Petrovich, everything depends on the needs of reality.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

……

After the loud bang, the western wall collapsed, and the rebels poured into the city like a tidal wave.

A ray of morning light of dawn sprinkled on the earth, full of vicissitudes, reflecting the slaughter all over the city, and setting off the atmosphere extraordinarily penetrating.

"Kill!"

With a handful of guards, he launched the last charge of his life, and Viscount Petrovich showed extraordinary bravery.

I don't know when the strength has reached a higher level, but it was all in vain.

Glancing at the rising sun, Viscount Petrovich fell, and the offensive and defensive battle of Zudsburg came to an end.

As the victor, the Lord of Darkness is busy directing his congregation to erect altars.

There is not enough time to accumulate, and it is impossible not to take shortcuts if you want to overthrow the rule of the aristocracy.

The slaughter of the city is the best blood food. While the blood is not cold and the soul is not scattered, it is best to sacrifice to the evil gods worshiped in the sect.

The altar soon appeared in the middle of the city, and the cultists who had made great contributions to the uprising walked to the front desk and waited for the power of the evil god to return.

However, none of the upper echelons of the Nether Sect went up, and all of them stared at the sacrificial scene from a distance below.

If you look closely, you will also find that there is a hint of pity in the eyes of some people.

Under the auspices of the sacrifice, countless sacrifices were offered, and with the blood and food all over the city, a phantom soon appeared in the sky.

Except for the Lord of Darkness, everyone closed their eyes, not daring to look directly at the evil god.

It is all a lesson from the past, and the consequence of looking directly at the evil god is to be assimilated by the evil god.

Without any superfluous words, the evil god and the dark lord glanced at each other with a sharp heart, and began to collect the sacrifices all over the city.

Immediately after that, a force descended from the sky, enveloping all the cultists in front of the altar, and the power feedback ceremony began.

The Dark Lord's brows furrowed slightly, compared to the previous sacrifices, this wave of feedback was a little stronger.

Correspondingly, the cultists who carry the power of the evil gods need to pay a greater price.

Some of the sect members who are not strong enough have begun to distort their souls, and the whole person is involuntarily moving closer to the evil god.

"That's enough!

These people are still useful, I can't give it to you for the time being!"

The Lord of Darkness spoke in a hoarse voice.

Obviously, the relationship between the two is not simply between believers and gods.

A similar combination, on the continent of Aslant, has not only appeared once.

Everything is a last resort, and the evil god also wants to use his own believers, but the people who believe in him are a group of perverts.

There can be perverts in religion, but not all of them, at least the person at the helm must have brains.

The phantom's brow furrowed slightly, and it quickly returned to normal.

He can still tell the difference between a saturated meal and a full meal.

"Yes!

But you have to act quickly in the future, the abyss is breaking out in a big war, and I need a lot of blood food! ”

After saying that, the evil god disappeared directly into the sky. Along with the vanity, there are corpses all over the city.

However, the corpses under the city walls full of gold juice are an exception, and it is obvious that the evil gods worshiped by the Netherworld Sect also have a habit of cleanliness, and they don't take all kinds of garbage.

A short conversation releases a lot of information.

The core reason why the Netherworld Sect dared to defy the condemnation of the world and co-opt a number of cult organizations to cause chaos under the condition that it was completely at a disadvantage, was in dialogue.

……

With the departure of the survivors, news of the fall of Odyssburg reached the ears of Governor Ginsburg.

The province was full of rebels, and as soon as the order for suppression was given, the Marquis of Ginsburg turned from anger to apprehension when he received the sad news that a county had completely fallen.

In normal times, the loss of a county with little strategic value is nothing, but now it is different.

The Five Nations Alliance is competing with each other, and since the establishment of the Alliance, the Kingdom of Hesse has always regarded itself as the second largest country in the Alliance.

fell from second to bottom, not only losing face, but also the right to speak in the alliance.

As the party who caused all this, how can it end well.

The dead were not responsible, and the charge of exposing the weak nature of the kingdom would naturally fall on him, the governor.

Governor Ginsburg's fears were completely unnecessary, not that something big might happen, but that something big had already happened.

The fall of Oudesburg was just the beginning, and the Nether cultists who received the feedback of the evil god's power were not only not weakened by the Great War, but became more and more powerful.

The Nether Cult's army, whose strength had been enhanced, did not stop expanding and began to grow like a snowball.

The province of Misia is a nest of rebels, but it is not the whole of the rebels. Around the same time, a rebellion broke out in more than a dozen provinces of the Kingdom of Hesse at the same time.

The smoke of gunpowder enveloped half of the kingdom, as if it had come to the end of the dynasty.

With the exception of the Kingdom of Hesse, which suffered the heaviest losses, rebellions of varying intensity occurred in the Five Nations Alliance.

It's just that most of these rebellions are dying struggles after revealing their identities, and the prior preparations are not as adequate as those of the Netherworld, and the impact is not so great.

……

The mountain leader, Hudson, who received the news, was about to be confused.

When did the cult become so powerful?

Isn't it funny that the five-nation alliance can still set off chaos when it is prepared in advance!

However, after learning the specific information, Hudson's doubts were all solved.

The 5-nation alliance did make some preparations, but this preparation was not sufficient. The high-level leaders of various countries did not regard the cult rebellion as one thing, and the so-called preparations were just an official document.

The military reform of the two countries in the northern continent was relatively thorough, the strength of the local aristocratic private armies was relatively strong, and both of them successfully expanded externally, and the internal contradictions were eased, so there was naturally no problem in doing so.

The Three Kingdoms of the Middle Continent are different, and in the last continental war, they were outright losers.

In the armistice treaty, they were nominally exchanging land with the alien alliance, but in fact they lost their cities and land.

After the war, dissatisfaction with the government from all walks of life in China soared, and social contradictions that had been suppressed for a long time also erupted, becoming a hotbed for the spread of cult ideas.

In addition to this, there is another practical problem: the number of freedmen in the three countries of the Middle Continent is higher.

In times of peace, the social wealth created by the freedmen far exceeded that of the serfs.

But in times of turmoil, or in the event of war or famine, the freedmen are also the most vulnerable and unstable group to bankruptcy.

Compared with serfs, the level of knowledge and cognition of the free people is still slightly higher.

Correspondingly, the overall quality of the members of the cult organizations in the three countries of the Central and Continental Regions should also be much stronger.

The superposition of multiple factors has caused the situation in the Central Continent to get out of control.

The only good news is that this wave of cults is not only affecting the three countries of the Central Continent.

Almost all the countries and major alien races in the southern continent have recently rebelled against cults.

If there is turmoil together, it is equivalent to no chaos.

Whoever can get out of the crisis first will have an advantage in this round of competition.

"Duke, there is urgent news from the royal capital, Your Majesty has asked you to go over to the meeting immediately!"

Tom's words brought Hudson back from his contemplation.

Hearing the "urgent news", Hudson's first reaction was that something was wrong!

In the last ten years, the kingdom's urgent messages have not been more than ten times combined.

Including the rebellion of the Skull and Bones Society in the southeastern province of that year, the occupation of two counties in a row did not allow the kingdom to use emergency teleportation.

"Got it!

Jenny, inform Madame that I am going to the royal capital, and that I will not have dinner tonight.

Tom, you go and inform the higher-ups of the realm and let them preside over the work for me! ”

After saying that, Hudson directly summoned Bear Stearns and went straight to the royal capital.

There is no way, Maxim is still working hard, and it is not suitable to bother now.

It's rare for Uncle Long to be so attentive, if he spoils his interest and has no passion for work, it will be embarrassing.

Suddenly changed from a dragon knight to a bear knight, and frankly, Hudson was really a little unaccustomed.

Rather than Maxim, who likes to travel through the clouds, Bear Stearns prefers to run on the ground, as if he has no sense of security without leaving the earth.

After countless attempts to do ideological work, all of which ended in failure, Hudson could only be attributed to the fact that he was a man of blood.

……

Emerald Palace, stepping here again, Hudson is already a regular here.

The palace guards didn't even save the interrogation, and took him directly into the main hall. It's not that he's recognizable, it's that the mount is too stylish.

Whether it is the Red Dragon or the Earth Bear, they are unique on the continent and do not have the possibility of impersonation.

Walking into the main hall and glancing at the ministers of the kingdom with panicked expressions, Hudson asked with a confused expression, "What's the matter, you are so panicked?" ”

Although the cult turmoil was fierce, there was no major chaos in the Alpha Kingdom, and the troubles of the allies were only a minor problem.

If you open the history books, you will know that all the cults that were violent in the early stage were fierce in the early stage, and they will soon be powerless to follow.

At best, it has shaken the foundation of a country's rule, but there has never been a case of directly overthrowing a major country.

Even if there is a change of power, it will not affect the current pattern of the five-nation alliance. In the current situation, whoever is in power needs to rely on the power of the alliance to fight against the alien race.

"There was a rebellion in the Falcon Kingdom, the rebels stormed the royal capital, and the king died under the rebellion!"

After the Foreign Secretary, Earl Francis, explained, Hudson still looked confused.

The coup d'état of an overseas kingdom, what does it matter to the Alpha Kingdom?

Even if someone dies the king, it's a big deal to condemn it, and even if it wants to interfere, it is a matter of the countries of the Southern Continent, and the Alpha Kingdom is completely beyond the reach of the whip.

Perhaps noticing Hudson's reaction, he added.

"The Falcon Kingdom is not a simple aristocratic coup, it is the merchant aristocracy who rebelled, these people rose with the rise of maritime trade, and many of their predecessors were pirates.

Most likely, Henry V's death was not an accident, but a deliberate act by these guys.

According to the information we have gathered, the Purple Flower Dynasty has been sparsely populated in recent years, and there have been frequent accidents among the heirs of the lineage. After the complete destruction of Henry V's family, the royal family had no heirs.

The remaining collateral distant branches, the blood relationship is too complicated, and it is difficult to exclude the heirs. ”

Given the exact answer, Hudson gasped.

I have to admit that this gang of emerging business aristocrats will play. In order to avoid the king's retaliation afterwards, he simply killed the royal family.

It's just that in this way, the political influence is too bad, and it is completely shaking the sacred status of the royal power and the status of the nobility.

From the birth of the royal power and the nobility, the two sides have achieved a deep bondage. The glory of the aristocracy comes from the royal family, and the aristocracy is the largest royalist.

The position of both sides is completely one of loss and one of glory.

In the past few years, the rules of the game in the continent of Aslant were: nobles are nobles, kings are kings, and they have never been transgressed.

The current royal legal system has its roots in the imperial era.

Either it was a princely state canonized by the emperor, who set up its own door when the empire was divided; Either they are stained with royal blood, and after the royal family is extinct, they ascend to the throne under the pretext of inheriting the glory of the royal family.

The rise of the new royal family is usually the normal heir of the old royal family, and it is pushed to the throne because of its own strength and the blood of the royal family.

To sum it up, it can be summed up in one sentence: royal power is transmitted through blood.

The Falcon Kingdom's gameplay this time is obviously different, everyone is waiting for the royal family to be a normal heir, and they are using physical methods to make the royal family heir.

Properly in the bad rules!

If we can't put out these chaotic parties, once this kind of precedent is opened, it will not be chaotic in the future.

As a staunch royalist, Hudson immediately chose to join his ministers in denouncing the shameless behavior of these rebels.

There is no way, as one of the powerful factions of the kingdom, you must stand firm at this time.

When this happens, whoever is the king will be suspicious of the loyalty of his subordinates, and the more powerful the princes, the more likely they are to be suspicious.

Fortunately, Hudson's background is not high, his rise time is too short, and his network is more in the lower echelons, and from all aspects, he is not a potential player in the competition for the throne.

Otherwise, he would not have been notified to come over for this special meeting.
