Chapter 270: The Great Defeat That Shook the Royal Capital!

"Lord Gade, is His Royal Highness the Second Prince just letting us follow? Grand Duke Rickman has already led people to set out to defeat the group of miners, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the triumphant victory. ”

In a wilderness about a few kilometers away from the battlefield, a knight couldn't help but ask when he saw his Earl being so slow and leisurely.

The requisition of those rioting miners was a great achievement for nothing, and they just gave it up?

"Then what can we do, we only have this kind of people, can we still rob them?" Count Gard sighed helplessly.

His Royal Highness the Second Prince only gave him 1,500 men, and he couldn't do anything with this manpower, and he didn't even dare to get too close to the battlefield, for fear that the Grand Duke would suddenly turn his gun and directly destroy them, a thousand or so, and then shirk it to those mine slaves.

Don't think it's impossible, when it comes to the battle for the throne, if there is a chance to eliminate dissidents, the other party will never let it go!

Gad sighed for a long time, he really couldn't understand what His Royal Highness the prince was doing, and even outside of leaving the royal capital, Hattar even gave him a very absurd task......

Suddenly, everyone present felt the ground shake violently, and then the sound of heavy artillery fire came from a distance, even from a distance of several kilometers.

"How could the battle be so fierce?" Gard was also a little surprised, and then thought that it was probably those bishops who were using some powerful magic skills, and it seemed that the winner would be decided soon.

Just as Gard had thought, a closed black crowd appeared on the horizon of the wilderness in the distance.

This must be the rout of the miners, right?

Thinking like this, Gad pulled out the long sword at his waist, and the knights and guards beside him also clenched the weapons in their hands, showing excitement on their faces.

Unexpectedly, Grand Duke Rickman brought so many elites, but he couldn't wipe out all those mining slaves.

But this is a good thing for them, cut off the heads of a few mining slaves and bring them back, this trip is not in vain, and there is an explanation for the above!

"Wait, that seems to be the Duke's army......" A sharp-eyed soldier suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Gad paused for a moment, and suddenly realized that some of the fleeing people were still wearing armor with the emblem of the kingdom on it...... This could never be a mine slave!

And the one who rushed to the front was very familiar to him, it was the Marquis of the kingdom, Selen!

More than ten days ago, the other party led his own soldiers to follow Duke Rickman to go out to fight, and he still remembered that high-spirited appearance, but at this moment, the marquis of the kingdom completely lost his previous aristocratic demeanor, his whole face was covered with blood, his clothes were tattered, and he was embarrassed.

The soldiers who followed behind looked even more miserable, almost everyone was wearing a cape, their armor was torn, and their mouths were constantly shouting. "Hell...... Hell has come! "The great Lord has forsaken us, and God has punished ...... This is divine punishment! ”

"Lord Seren, what's going on?" The frightened Gard hurriedly stepped forward to stop the other party and asked.

"Rain of fire... Everywhere there was a rain of fire... The army was defeated...... Earl Johnson is dead, and Archduke Rickman is finished...... It's the Great Wizard, and the rebellion of this group of mine slaves has something to do with the Great Wizard......" Seren said with a pale face when he saw Gad as if he had seen a savior.

He saw with his own eyes that Archduke Rickman had fallen from his horse, and it would have been too bad for him.

Under Seren's constant telling, Gard figured out what happened, a terrifying wizard appeared on the battlefield and unleashed an incomparably powerful magic, which caused the rout of the legion.

Single-handedly defeating an legion, Gard couldn't help but gasp, what a terrifying force this must be.

"Quick, those demons may catch up at any time, quickly escort me back to the royal capital, and the matter here must be reported to Your Majesty and the church immediately!" Seren grabbed Gad's arm and spoke eagerly.

"Don't be in such a hurry, Lord Seren, what about Bishop Nord, are they behind?" Gard tore Seren's hand off his arm and asked again.

Seren shook his head in horror, they seemed to be targeted by the archwizard, and the rain of fire had been chasing them non-stop.

An archbishop was even hit in the head by a huge cannonball flying from nowhere, and the blood splattered, and he died on the spot, so they had to flee in all directions to have a trace of life!

"In that case, it's easy to do!" Gad's eyes flickered, and he said with regret in his mouth. "I'm sorry, Lord Seren, I'm afraid I won't be able to send you to the royal capital, but ......"

"I can send you to the Duke!"

Hearing this, Seren's face changed suddenly, but Gad had already swung the long sword in his hand and slashed at his head, and a stream of blood suddenly spurted out.

Seren's body slid limply downward, and he fell off his horse, a look of disbelief still on his face.

"Do it, kill them!" Count Gard shouted as he pointed his blood-stained blade at the unarmoured soldiers behind Seren.

Those who can follow Gad to inquire about the situation are all his and Prince Khattar's private soldiers, and even the most outrageous orders will be carried out without hesitation.

After a brief moment of confusion, a massacre began!

The soldiers who followed Seren all the way to escape had no idea that they had just escaped from the hellish battlefield with their front feet, and that their back feet had been betrayed by "their own people" again.

And in order to flee for their lives, they have already thrown away the heavy weapons in their hands, and they have no ability to resist at all, and it is only in vain to escape, no matter how fast they run, they are not as fast as the arrows and crossbows......

Gard wielded the long sword in his hand, harvesting one soldier after another, this was a secret order given to him by the second prince Hatar, to keep these people here as much as possible, and weaken the power of the church and the eldest prince Harold.

In his opinion, this was completely a fantasy, just by virtue of those mining slaves He De, how could they compete with the regular army of the kingdom, and what waves could they make.

Now the facts tell him that this is not just a wave, it is simply a landslide and a tsunami!

……

After a quadruple slaughter of artillery, muskets, rain of fire, and Gad, Rickman finally led 15,000 elites to crusade against the miners, and only about 20 cavalry were left to escort Archbishop Nord, and fled back to the royal capital in a hurry......

At the same time, the news of the rout quickly spread throughout the royal capital!
