Despite all the best efforts of Greene Turn's way in the direction of the palace, his injuries still made it difficult for him to move - let alone climb the staircase covered with bones on his own with crutches, even if he wanted to ride a horse. In the end, I had to find a way to get a worn-out carriage to barely get on the road.

But by the time he arrived at the palace, the battle had already come to an end. Having lost the opportunity to resist, the Knights of the Sacred Tree were cornered and could only support the defense, only to find that the Legion of Hantu City on the opposite side did not even have the desire to attack - this is also a matter of course, the enemy has been defeated, the palace gate has been taken, and the remaining enemies have no point in continuing to fight.

Except for a small group of palace guards who were still resisting in vain, the Knights of the Sacred Tree finally chose to surrender - this was not a battle with the infidels, after all, and the sacrifice was not worth it here. Not to mention that not all members of the Order were "in agreement" with Gaio Valens' approach.

Even if they were unwilling to disobey orders, it was impossible to forget that Gaio Valence had become Grand Master by killing Mercer Kane and imprisoning Sir Leonardo. There are also many members of the Knights who are very disgusted with Berion, and they do not intend to desperately protect the "Turin nobles" who are quite discriminatory against them.

As the members of the Order gave up their resistance, the end of what could have turned into a bloody massacre came to an end and was not staged. And the Hantu City Legion that won the victory did not have any intention of celebrating, and even stayed in place in a daze, just waiting in a daze.

Because they didn't know what to do - they were ordered to take the gates of the palace and buy as much time as possible for His Highness Anson to hold back the enemy. And with the annihilation of two strong enemies, the timely reinforcement of the Battle Banner Legion. The impossible victory turned into a reality, and the people who won to the end turned out to be them.

And now that they have taken control of the hills of Marchelus and the gates of the palace, no one knows what to do next - take control of the city of Turin and sweep away all the revolting strongholds, or concentrate their forces and completely surround the palace and force the other side to surrender?

The former order is bound to disperse the forces. The latter is fraught with danger and embarrassment to them, as there is no one in the legion who can stand up and "lead" them. The little prince stormed the palace, the chief lieutenant was seriously wounded, and the chief flag bearer was nowhere to be found.

As for the barely qualified Luson Minest, not to mention that the Knights' ill feelings towards this person were no less than Berion's, and the Legion of Hantu City could not accept such a "young master Kuo" who had never been on the battlefield and was a son of a rich family as their commander, even if the royal fleet had proven itself in the battle of King's Harbor.

At the end of the day - they still couldn't trust Lu Sien as an "outsider", and the heir of the Minest family was quite interesting. It's just a suggestion to have a few royal knights go and bring Green Turn's back.

And when Greene Turn's arrival in the square, this was what he saw—knights and palace guards who had laid down their weapons, and an army of Hantu City who were so dazed that they didn't even know what they were supposed to do. ‘

Covered in bandages, Greene Turn, using a broken spear as a cane, supported his body and walked up the steps in front of the palace little by little, looking calmly at Repinos who was nailed to the gate with a bow and arrow, his lips trembling and trying to say something, but in the end he did not speak.

The Chief Centurion, whose eyes had long since darkened, still clutched the Blood Cross Battle Banner tightly in his hands. Even if it's dead, no one can let it go. The long-deceased Repinius seemed to be like a guard standing in front of this gate, blocking everyone's path. His outstretched right arm rested against the gate, as if calling the brethren behind him, and continued the attack in his direction.

"Either way, you've done your job - we can't win without you, worthy of being the chief centurion and deputy chosen by Edward Witwood. It's so jealous!" Green grinned reluctantly, patted Liberinus on the shoulder, as if he was still alive, and nodded to the royal knights behind him: "Get him down, and then wrap him in this banner - wait until this battle is over, and then let His Highness allow him to be buried under the flaming goshawk!"

Several of the surviving royal knights nodded. No one stepped forward to "remind" Green that the chief centurion was a native of Turine, and that the funeral was a privilege reserved only for royal knights. Holding her bones respectfully, he walked down the stairs.

"What shall we do next, Lord Greene Tern?" the chief centurion of the Guards, who was still alive, approached and asked tentatively, "the enemy has been defeated, and the palace has been taken - is the battle over?"

"The end? no, no, no...... The battle is not over, at least not yet. Greene Turn's vetoed flatly: "At least a thousand nobles are now in custody in the palace, and a considerable number of them are supporters of Berion, if you don't take advantage of the fact that you kill them in the name of treason now, there will be no such good opportunity in the future!"

"Treason, nobility...... What are you—what are you talking about?" the chief centurion was shocked: "The Radiant Cross is on top, do you want to re-enact what happened in Hantu City?!"

"No, I'm going to kill them all - but you're right, I'm going to re-enact the scene that happened in Hantu City, even more thoroughly than the last one. Green's expression darkened slightly, but then his tone became much more determined: "This is our only chance, and when the day passes, they will rush to put all the sins on the dead!"

"But that time we had a good reason, and that was also ordered by His Highness!" said the Chief Centurion through gritted teeth, "You can't just give such a disgusting order - we follow Your Highness, we believe that you are right to do so because you believe that you can save the kingdom by doing this! And now you are asking us to slaughter a group of unarmed people, to be butchers?

"If for the sake of Your Highness, for the sake of the future of the kingdom, even dignity and honor can be sacrificed - in order to give dignity to our dead brothers, so that our living brothers can get what they deserve, in order that Your Highness can become a real king and not a puppet of a group of cunning nobles, I am even willing to go to hell!" Greene Turn's whole body trembled, and his eyes seemed to tremble with fear: "If you don't want to, I won't force you- I'll give you the order to bring me all over afterwards!"

"His Highness can't do such a thing - so we have to do it for him. That's what his allegiance should do. The chief lieutenant's voice grew heavier and heavier: "He is perfect and bright - so he cannot be stained with dirt, and the dirt is borne and borne by us!"

“...... When you say this, you certainly don't realize that you have changed. The Chief Centurion's tone grew colder, and his expression grew more and more disgusted: "More and more like Berion Marchelus!"

"So, you're going to refuse?"

“...... No, I'm saying you can't do it all alone, someone has to do it for you. The chief centurion snorted coldly, knelt on one knee, raised his head and looked at him resolutely: "Give the order, Lord Chief Adjutant General!"

"Soldiers, warriors of the kingdom—!" Greene Turn, who nodded silently, barely supported his body, and shouted to the soldiers who had gathered and were also watching him, "Occupy the palace and defend your allegiance." ”

"Then, kill all the traitors - and let Barrion and his followers get the fate they deserve!" (To be continued.) )
