"Alice, are you alright?"

Gervais shook the plaster off his armor, and then patted Alice, who was pressed underneath him, and asked with concern.

"I'm fine! Gervais! ”

Because Gervais's reaction was timely enough, the two ran out of the center of the explosion, so although they were shocked by the shock wave, they were completely out of the way.

After making sure Alice was okay, Gervais stood up and looked behind him.

I saw that the rear was already in a mess, and the originally smooth road was blown out of a pitch-black crater, and the surrounding land of more than ten meters was already scorched.

"Is it a magic scroll?"

The more Gervais thought about it, the more he felt that the scroll just now was the magic scroll in his previous life, after all, even the magician appeared, and it was not unusual for the magic scroll to appear.

"Ahh

Gervais began to scan his surroundings as he pondered, trying to find King Lawrence and the others.

At that moment, a wail of pain rang out in Gervais's ears.

He immediately looked in the direction where the moans had come from.

I saw that the nobles who had just gathered behind King Lawrence were all embarrassed.

And their location had changed, and the blast of the explosion had lifted them all away from their original positions.

That's why Gervais didn't see them when he looked at the center of the explosion.

At this time, these nobles were sitting or lying down, obviously suffering a lot of damage.

"Alice, go get the medical team ready!"

Gervais didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went over to check the injuries of those nobles.

King Lawrence and Gust are among them, and if something happens to them, then the continent will really be doomed.

"Master Gust, are you alright?"

To Gervais's relief, when he hurried over, he saw one of them standing up on his own, it was the Lord of the North.

"It's okay! Although he suffered a lot of injuries, it shouldn't be a big problem to recuperate for a while! Let's find out where His Majesty is. ”

"Okay!"

Soon they discovered that King Lawrence had stumbled to his feet, but because he was closest to the scroll, King Lawrence was obviously much more injured than the Lord of the North.

When King Lawrence stood up, a mouthful of blood immediately spurted out of his mouth, and he couldn't even stand steadily, and finally could only stick his long sword in his hand into the ground as a support and half-knelt.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?"

The Lord of the North hurriedly ran over and asked with concern.

"I can't die, but I'm afraid it will take a few months to fully recover, I really didn't expect it! All three of our principalities have been ruined by the Church and the Second Son! ”

It is clear that the second prince of Charter, too, has been bewitched by the Church and wants to put him to death.

first lost the eldest prince Derek, and now the second prince Charter has cooperated with outsiders to cooperate to kill him, and King Lawrence's mood can be imagined.

"Lawrence, now is not the time to sigh! The most important thing for us now is to enter the City of Glory, and if you want, we'd better send someone to start the siege now! ”

At this moment, Hayden, who still had a little blood on the corner of his mouth, walked over, and he was the same as the Lord of the North, because he was far away, although he was injured a little, but not so badly.

"Siege the city!"

At this point, it is necessary to storm no matter what, and there is only a dead end to stay outside the city of glory

……

While Lawrence was talking, Gervais had been checking on the other nobles.

Of the more than twenty nobles who were present just now, five or six died directly, including two grand commanders of the golden low-level knights, plus a few nobles who were not golden knights, and the rest were also seriously injured.

To Gervais's disappointment, Nemio and Avery were only slightly injured.

In fact, such casualties are far from meeting the expectations of the second prince Chate.

Originally, they thought that this plot could directly reduce most of the nobles, except for a few golden peak knights, the other immortals were also seriously injured.

It's a pity that Gervais just shouted that voice, so that the nobles have a defensive operation and fighting qi to protect themselves, so the damage is mitigated.

……

Soon hundreds of people rushed up from a large army a few hundred meters away and began to clear the battlefield.

The mortally wounded and dead nobles were all carried down, and Lawrence gave the order for the lightly wounded counts of Nemio and Avery to begin the siege with men.

Nemio and the others also knew that the situation was urgent, so they immediately made dozens of simple siege ladders and began to attack the city with thousands of soldiers, and they personally led the team.

Everyone wanted to capture the City of Glory as quickly as possible before the pursuers from behind arrived.

However, when the thousand elites began to attack the city, what happened made everyone outside the city even more desperate.

Because there are eight more golden knights on the walls of the city of glory, and there are five more magicians.

When Nermio and the Counts of Avery and their soldiers finally stormed the city wall, the eight golden knights and five magicians suddenly appeared and attacked, directly killing hundreds of elite soldiers who had already climbed the city wall.

Seeing such a situation, several earls dared to stay longer, relying on the cultivation of the golden knight to jump off the city wall and escape back to the army, only then did they pick up a life.

"What a poisonous plan, let the people outside the city see hope first, and kill this hope directly when they think they are about to win, and if it weren't for a few earls who are clever, one or two more golden knights will definitely die!"

Gervais witnessed everything that was besieging the city, and he had to admire the thoughtfulness of the church and Chatter's planning.

Originally, the team that was on the verge of collapse because of the rout all the way, after suffering such a blow again, the morale had reached the extreme, and there was no longer the courage to attack the city.

And they continued to stay outside the city, waiting for their 20,000 people only to be caught between the front and back, completely annihilated.

Sure enough, just a few minutes later, a squad of Rangers galloped in from the south, bringing bad news that made the whole army even worse.

One of them, who was supposed to be the squad leader of the rangers, didn't even have time to stop his horse when he came back, so he quickly jumped off his horse, half-knelt in front of Lawrence, and gasped for breath.

"Your Majesty, the Holy Knights of the Duchy of Xsis and the Church are hurrying towards us, and they will arrive in half an hour at most!"

"And, judging by their numbers, they should have converged with those cavalry teams behind!"

"Keep exploring!"

King Lawrence, sitting in a soft chair, somewhat pale, commanded in a hoarse tone.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The rangers hurriedly received the order, rode their horses and led their men to the south at great speed.

……

When the rangers left, the nobles present fell silent.

Now that morale is low and there are no effective siege weapons, even if you want to organize another siege, it will be too late.

"Sina! Help me up! ”

"Your Majesty! Where do you want to go? ”

Grand Commander Sina hurriedly picked up King Lawrence and asked in a low voice!

"Help me to go under the walls, and I'd like to talk to Chase again!"

King Lawrence thought about it, and now his last hope might lie in the second prince Chat, and he was ready to try again.

"Lawrence, your second son is now bewitched by the church, and he will definitely not agree to let us enter the city, so why don't we evacuate now!"

"Let's go to the west, the Count of Bolair in my Duchy of Albanne is in that direction, and we can also fight with the church with the city of Bolair!"

Hayden understood Lawrence's mood at the moment, but he didn't think that there would be any results in continuing the negotiations, and it was better to retreat directly.

"Hayden, I know that, but I'd like to give it a try!"

"The Church must use the bait to help them ascend to the throne, and since he wants to get the throne, then I will give it to him!"

"If my method is really useless, then do as you say, and we will immediately withdraw to the West!!"

Lawrence had no choice but to do so, and although they were still able to flee elsewhere, the Duchy of Alban was no better than the Duchy of Jean.

As long as they enter the City of Glory, they can have a great hope of blocking the attack of the Church and the Duchy of Xis, and there is a steady stream of support in the rear.

And even if the Duchy of Alban escapes the pursuers temporarily, they will only be trapped on one side in the future, and sooner or later they will be exterminated by the church.

"Okay! Then you go give it a try! ”

Hayden listened to Lawrence's words and nodded in agreement.

"Your Majesty, the gates of the City of Glory have been opened!"

Just as Lawrence and Hayden were deciding what to do next, the gates of the City of Glory in the distance suddenly opened, and thousands of soldiers and horses came out of it.

With thousands of soldiers and horses leaving the city, the gates of the City of Glory were closed again.

In an instant, the people of the Duchy of Alban and the Duchy of Jean all looked at the thousands of soldiers and horses.

The two kings and the counts immediately stood up and led the crowd towards the procession.

……

"Charter, how dare you come out of the City of Glory!"

When the teams of the two sides met, they finally saw each other's faces clearly from a distance of 100 meters.

I saw that the team out of the city was led by the second prince of Charter, and the golden knights and magicians were on his right and left.

"Father, the reason why I came out now is because for your sake, I want to give all of you a way to live!"

"You're afraid we'll leave here now, and you're trying to stall for time!"

Although King Lawrence was wounded, he was not stupid, he had already guessed that Charter's group had come out, probably trying to delay the time and wait for the pursuers in the rear to arrive.

"Father, since you have seen through it, then I will say it directly!"

The second prince of Charter, who was not surprised, generously admitted it, and then continued.

"Although we came out this time with the intention of holding you back, I am indeed going to give some of you a chance to survive when I come out this time!"

"As long as you pledge your allegiance to me now, I guarantee that you will never be harmed, and that your title will still be kept!"

"Chatter, even if you agree, can you call the shots! Will the church say yes? ”

King Lawrence retorted unceremoniously, he really didn't expect that the son he had raised for so many years would be a complete white-eyed wolf.

"Father, I promised the Church to make them the state religion of the Duchy of Jean! And I would like to be one of the spokesmen of the gods on this continent! ”

"So, I can still call the shots about their lives and deaths!"

"Now it's dead or alive! It's up to you! ”

Charter answered Lawrence very confidently!

Then looking at the nobles in front of him, now the Duchy of Jean and the Duchy of Alban have become meat on the chopping block, and life and death can be said to be really a thought of oneself.

After the second prince's words fell, the scene was a little quiet for a while.

The nobles, big and small, were silent, waiting for the choice of others.

"Guys, you only have one chance! If you don't make a decision, then I'll go back, and I believe that it won't be long before the army of the Duchy of Xis and the Paladins will arrive! ”

Seeing that the nobles were silent, the second prince of Chartert continued to speak.

He believed that few people could resist such a temptation to survive and retain their titles.

Now it's just a lack of a leading role model!

"Count Nemio! Count Avery, your wives and children are still in the principality, you must think about it, can you bear to let them die with you? ”

"Your Highness Charter, can you really keep your title? What about the territory? ”

Nervous and the others were shocked when they heard Chatter's words, looked at King Lawrence, and then took a deep breath and asked the second prince of Chatter.

"Count Nemio, I do what I say, of course the title can be kept, and the territory can also be kept, but there will be some changes in taxes in the future!"

Having thought it was a good start, Chater replied with a smile on his face.

"Then my Charles family is willing to swear allegiance to you!"

As he spoke, before everyone could react, Nemio quickly broke away from the crowd on the side of the Duchy of Jean, ran towards the second prince of Charter, and half-knelt down in front of him, expressing his submission!

"Nemio, you cowardly mouse!"

Gust was immediately furious, and Nemio's example was set by him, and the other nobles were also ready to move, and his action was likely to be the straw that crushed the two principalities.

"Gust, let them go!"

King Lawrence, however, opened his mouth to stop the Lord of the North's insults to Nemio.

"If any of you want to go over, go now! I won't stop you! ”

Lawrence also knew at this moment that the general situation was gone, even if he could lead them to resist for a while, but he could not return to the Duchy of Jean, he was still dead, so he was not prepared to bring so many people to the funeral with him.

When Lawrence said this, the two counts walked out of the crowd again and went to the second prince of Charter.

It was Avery and Lenny's father, Count Cowan, and the rest were hesitating.

"Haha! A wise choice, you guys! Decide to fight to the end? There is only one chance, time is running out, you have to think well! ”

Seeing that the situation was now completely tilted to his side, Chase laughed heartily, indescribably proud.

At this moment, a magician beside the second prince of Chath suddenly attached himself to him and said a few words.

And when Gervais on the side of the Duchy of Jean saw this scene, his heart chuckled.

Because this magician is the man who has just left the city to deliver the magic scroll and plot against King Lawrence.

At this moment, he had changed into a soldier's dress, dressed in a linen white robe, and held a delicate staff in his hand.

He had been scanning the crowd in the Duchy of Jean just now, and finally his eyes fell on Gervais, and then immediately ran to say something to the second prince of Charter.

Sure enough, when he had said something to Prince Chat, Prince Chart looked away from the earls and turned to Gervais.

And at the same time as he saw Gervais, he also saw Alice beside Gervais.

I saw that the second prince Chatter's eyes suddenly flashed with a strange light.
