Chapter 170 The New King (5400+)
The old speaker tried to calm down, raised his voice and shouted: "Don't be afraid, Richard only has five hundred men! Five hundred cavalry!"
At this moment, Richard's knight array had been completely displayed in front of everyone, and it was rolling along the avenue. The five hundred knights lined up in a horizontal column with five horses, and the formation was extremely tight, and the murderous aura had inadvertently soared into the sky.
Seeing the familiar gate of the Black Rose Castle getting closer and closer, Richard secretly sighed in his heart.
At this time, Aceris, who was beside him, suddenly said, "Lord Richard, you can't go any further. It's already within the range of the Discra's Fury, and further along, it's the most powerful of the Discra's Fury. If they shoot the edge of the deep sea, even if I am here, it will be difficult to guarantee your safety. ”
"It's okay with the wrath of the discra, it's better to go a little further to Chapter 170 New King (5400+), and line up five hundred meters in front of the castle!" Richard didn't look impressed, and calmly issued the order.
At this time, even Semir and Lina's faces changed slightly, and Asiris frowned and continued: "Lord Richard! Discra's Fury is a legendary giant crossbow, which means that the edge of the deep sea it shoots is equivalent to the full force of a legendary powerhouse!"
"I know. But don't worry, the wrath of the discra is no longer useful. Richard still looked confident. In his pocket closest to his heart, a fist-sized metal part lay alongside the Destiny Crystal. This piece of metal is extremely delicate, and even Richard can only understand the function of the magic array engraved in it, and the complex mechanical structure makes Richard even more amazed.
This metal part, also known as the Storm Pupil, is the key to activating Discra's Fury.
Hundreds of knights, following Richard's orders, advanced to five hundred meters in front of the castle before stopping their advance and lining up in a horizontal formation. At this distance, not only the head of the city can see the bottom of the city, but also the head of the city can be seen clearly. The parliamentarians crouched on the breastwork of the lookout, but it was so quiet that even the old speaker held his breath.
I don't know who issued Chapter 170 New King (5400+) with a groan-like exclamation: "Oh my God, that's ...... Construct Knight?"
"My eyes are glazed, is this whole row of Constructed Knights?"
At the front of Richard's array, a full hundred and fifty horsemen in uniform lined up in a horizontal formation, and the line was desperately long. All of them were flashing with the unique light of the magic array, clearly reminding the people at the head of the city that they were all knights in costumes.
The old speaker could no longer breathe, he suddenly shouted, turned around and rushed to the spiral staircase. This passage spirals to the platform at the very top of the castle. There is the legendary giant crossbow of the Wrath of the Discra.
The platform is large and wide. In the center of the building is a rotating round platform, where the wrath of the Diskra lies silently. At this moment, the warriors guarding the giant crossbow are covering the cover of the giant crossbow in order to put the huge murder weapon into a state of war. However, the number of fighters was insufficient, and the movements were not skilled, and there were even two warriors pulling the cloth in opposite directions in the panic.
As soon as the old speaker rushed to the platform, he shouted, "Go and lift the edge of the deep sea! Damn, what the hell are you thinking. Remove the cover!"
The old speaker rushed to the front of the discra console, took a few deep breaths, and prepared to manipulate the legendary murder weapon.
The shroud was finally lifted, and the edge of the deep was lifted. The old speaker is deeply glad that he didn't do anything and secretly sold this legendary crossbow arrow, otherwise he really wouldn't know what to do today. But he forgot that the reason he didn't sell the Edge of the Deep wasn't because he didn't want to, but because he didn't have that authority at all. This famous weapon did not mean that he could find a buyer if he wanted to sell it, nor was it like ordinary items such as furniture, which were not in the eyes of Sauron and Goliath at all.
Damn Richard! Damn Sauron! Why didn't they say that Richard had brought a hundred and fifty Constructed Knights? Where did he get so many Constructed Knights!? The old speaker thought, his hands trembling, and his body trembling.
At this moment, there is only one voice in his heart, that is, he has to kill Richard, and only by killing Richard can he escape today's catastrophe. Richard had already said that by the time he stood under the Black Rose Castle, all the councillors would be sent to the gallows.
The Edge of the Deep is five meters long, and it takes six warriors to place the Wrath of Discara. However, when the warriors climbed the revolving platform, they were stunned, and they did not know how to place the crossbow arrows for a while.
Discara's Wrath is actually a very sophisticated alchemy machine, its movement, rotation, crossbow, and firing are all powered by mechanical and magical powers, and there is no need for human control at all. When the warriors step on the round platform, the giant crossbow should open the metal cover for outer protection and pop out the loading magazine, and the warriors only need to put the crossbow arrows in the loading magazine. The loader will retract itself, and the bolts will be placed in the crossbow machine.
But now, Discra's Fury lies quietly, like a hibernating beast, and does not react at all.
At this moment, the old speaker also found out that something was wrong, the magic array on the control table was all dim, and the wrath of the discra was not activated at all. Without the power of machinery and magic, it would be impossible to manipulate this behemoth, which weighs hundreds of tons, by human power alone.
The old speaker suddenly pulled open the cover under the console, and immediately cried out in despair: "Storm Pupil! Where is Storm Pupil?"
The news that Discara's Wrath could not be used immediately spread like wind throughout the Black Rose Castle, raising the chaos in the castle to another level.
Parliamentarians, nobles, and private generals hurried to their rooms, some of them hastily packing their belongings, riding horses, or driving carriages, to the back door of the castle, from where they tried to escape. But the narrow lanes have long been congested, full of chaotic and panicked people, as if the end is coming.
The interior of the Black Rose Castle is actually quite large, and there was originally an open space next to the castle wall, which was generally used as a backup martial arts arena during the peak training season. But now it's a slum. The shacks were filled to the brim, but they were surprisingly clean, and there was no other slum sewage and stinking stoog.
In this shack area, lying and sitting are some people with strong bodies and hideous faces, and occasionally you can see a few women, but they are relatively empty around them, even if a few of them have delicate eyebrows and weak expressions, no different from ordinary women. It seems that even the fierce men are in awe of them. Everyone has scars and murderous spirits, and even the arrogant and domineering legislators and soldiers will become cautious when passing through this shack area.
At the edge of the shack area, a big man with a full beard looked at the panicked parliamentarians and aristocrats, and couldn't help but spit and scolded: "A bunch of rabbits who sell ass!"
His voice was so loud that it must have reached the ears of many councillors, but no one dared to come to him. Because the people who stayed in this shack area were all free Akmund warriors waiting to be recruited, at least to the standard of foot knights, and all of them were ruthless characters who had returned from various battlefields.
Even the guards were reluctant to provoke these warriors, and they were only a few who were willing to obey the council's call, and they were still deceived. When Richard's news came, even the soldiers who had joined the Parliament army returned to the shack.
The Guard General knew that they were a volcano ready to erupt, but he couldn't do anything about it. There were too many knights in the foot, and once they were to really break out, they could completely overwhelm his defenders of about a thousand men. And among these free Akmund warriors, there are many candidates for Construct Knights. The general did not know how many there were, only that there must be a lot.
Outside the castle of the Black Rose, Richard looked at the councillors, nobles, and ordinary warriors at the head of the city, and said slowly, "I am Richard, Richard Akmund. You should all know about my relationship with Gordon. Now, here I am. Mensa, Sauron, and Goliath tried to stop me on my way, but I came anyway, and stood here at the scheduled time!"
The power of magic spread Richard's voice and could be heard from anywhere in the castle of the Black Rose.
"The Black Rose Castle is the symbol of Akmund. It has a glorious past, and it shines even brighter in Gordon's hands. But now, it's in the hands of a bunch of incompetent and cowardly people who call themselves parliamentarians. But, our throne in Akmund, which has always been forged of fire and steel, when will we be able to endure a mass of waste that has never even been on the battlefield?"
Richard slowly rose into the air at this time, and his voice became louder and louder: "Warriors, mages, strong men, everyone surnamed Akmund, where is your courage? Where are you now, those warriors who gathered here for me? Let me see your courage! If Sauron really dares to ascend the throne of Akmund, he should appear here and fight me to the death! But now, where is Sauron?!"
Richard's voice echoed like thunder in the sky of the Black Rose Castle, and even more stirred in the hearts of every Akmund! In the shack area, one after another free Akmund warriors stood up and looked up at the sky. There was nothing there, only Richard's voice.
Richard was now in the air, and even the highest discratic wrath of the Black Rose Castle was already at his feet. And his voice is the only voice in the castle world at this moment.
"Akmunds, Gordon is gone, but it's okay, because I'm here. I will lead you to plant Akmund's Burning Battle Banner in countless planes!"
Richard's hand pointed forward, and in the direction of his finger there was not only the Black Rose Castle, but also the sea, the sky, and the infinite planes beyond the sky.
"From this day forward, I, Richard, am the King of Akmund. ”
The Black Rose Castle burst into flames, riots erupted, and the Free Akmund warriors poured out of the shack area and rushed to all parts of the castle. And the guards who were originally subordinate to Gordon also defected one after another, pounced on the private soldiers who were usually high and powerful. The private soldiers who could slay dragons and kill gods at the wine table were kneeling on the ground one after another, crying and begging for mercy.
From Richard's position, he could clearly see the chaos inside the Black Rose Castle, so he knew that the war to reclaim the castle was over. In fact, this war has ended since he led the unprecedented scale of the Constructed Knights out of the dimensional portal. He doesn't have to wrestle with the castle's sturdy defenses, the black rose that never falls will bloom for him from within.
In an open space inside the Black Rose Castle, the guard general was covered in blood and had been cornered. He clenched his sword and leaned his back against the rocky wall, from which there was no escape.
In front of him were four or five Akmunds of different forms, but all of them were formidable. They all have combat power close to the Sanctuary, and they are clearly the leaders among the candidates for the Constructed Knights. Although the general himself is a strong man in the Holy Domain, with one enemy, and the opponents are all strong men who have fought on various battlefields for many years, he has long been suppressed to the point that he has no power to fight back.
Looking at the opponent who was pressing step by step, but did not show the slightest flaw, the general's face showed a bleak wry smile. Suddenly, he said, "I can take one of you with me, but I don't want to do it right now." Go and sue Richard, and if he wants to, ......"
The general was halfway through his words, but he didn't say the last request, but sighed, turned his long sword upside down, and stabbed it into his heart!
The Akmunds on the other side were stunned. They had been fighting with the general for a long time, and they knew that what the general said was not false. It's just that after a long period of adventure and conquest, they have long taken life and death very lightly, and they just want to see who will be so unlucky and chosen by the general to back.
The unlucky will not feel wronged, because others will definitely avenge themselves. And dying in battle is the most suitable destination for every Akmund who has chosen the path of blood and fire.
Richard had fallen from the sky, standing with his hands in his hands, quietly watching the Black Rose Castle. He didn't have to wait long for the drawbridge of the castle to be lowered and the gates of the castle opened.
Richard did not rush into the Black Rose Castle, but looked back. At the end of the avenue, there was a verdant plain, and the city farther away rose with green smoke, a quiet and calm place, and there was not a trace of the army in sight.
Richard shook his head and said lightly, "Sauron, you really disappointed me. ”
"Knights, forward!"
Following Richard's fingers, a group of elite Darkblade Knights stepped onto the castle's drawbridge and entered the Black Rose Castle. After the Darkblade Knights, there are a staggering number of Constructed Knights.
Many Free Akmund warriors flocked to both sides of the road, and were also occupied by Free Akmund warriors in key places such as arrow towers, walls, and gatehouses. But they knew their duty, and just leaned on the arrow wall and looked down. Seeing the wolf-like knights, all Akmund's eyes lit up with blazing fire.
These Constructed Knights may be their tomorrow. At least at this moment, Richard had already shown a magical picture before their eyes.
In the square in front of the main building of the castle, all the councillors, nobles in various positions, and private generals were arrested, and those who were not killed in the resistance were gathered in the square, waiting for Richard's disposal.
The Free Akmund warriors were popular warriors everywhere, and many of them had already served as high-ranking officers on the battlefield, and at this time these officers spontaneously stepped forward and organized the whole operation quickly and orderly.
Richard walked out of the square, his eyes swept over a dozen congressmen. These people also disappointed him, there was not a single character in it who could make people feel passable, and none of them even dared to make eye contact with him. At this time, they are all certain to die, don't they dare to show some courage?
However, Richard also knew that this was actually normal, because Sauron only wanted to use the family council as a tool, a tool to manipulate the whole of Akmund and eat away at the legacy left by Gordon. Tools don't need to be smart, and they don't need to be courageous.
And Sauron, even when Gordon disappeared and Richard was still immature, did not come forward and sit in the position of the patriarch of Akmund. In the end, he still didn't dare to take that responsibility.
The King of Akmund, this is a very loud name, but beneath the throne is a volcano that erupts at any moment.
At that moment, a young man suddenly burst out of the crowd on his knees! He took a few steps towards Richard, and then threw himself on the ground before the guard's sword swung his sword, and shouted, "Do you remember me, Lord Richard?"
With a wave of his hand, Richard told the guards to lay down their swords and smiled, "Of course I remember you, Pétain." If you hadn't given me the Pupil of the Storm, I'm afraid I wouldn't have taken back the Black Rose Castle so smoothly. Well, get up, and I'll think carefully about how to reward you for your contributions. ”
It was only then that Asiris, Lina, and Semir realized why Richard was so sure that Discra's wrath was useless. It turned out that the few days after Richard returned to the floating island and remained unmoved, he was not idle, but had many arrangements in secret. This young lord, who has just reached the age of coming-of-age ceremony, is not only a leader of dimensional warfare, but also a qualified lord day by day.
The old speaker, who was also in the crowd, saw the young man named Pétain, whose eyes were dark, and he almost fainted. He never thought that this young man, who liked to wear aristocratic clothes, was vain and pompous, and had nothing to do except pat himself on the back, would do such a big thing.
When the young man graciously brought the cup of unpalatable black tea, no one could tell that he could have stolen the Storm Pupil and sold it to Richard's men.
Once the wrath of the diskra is in operation, it will need to consume a lot of valuable magic crystals. And when they saw the legendary crossbow, all they thought about was how to sell it for money, and no one had the patience to maintain and inspect it. If it weren't for the fact that the spare magic crystal left by Gordon had already been built into the crossbow seat, and it would require a professional alchemist to take it out, maybe even if the Storm Pupil was still in place, the wrath of Diskra would still not be activated.
After placing Petain, Richard didn't bother to look at the councillors in the square, but instead climbed to the top platform of the Black Rose Castle and placed the Storm Pupil in Discra's Fury. Then, he walked to the edge of the platform, squinting slightly, looking into the distance.
Richard looked at the sea and sky.
The next day, on the road leading to the castle of the Black Rose, dozens of gallows were erected, hanging members of the House of Akmund, some nobles in important positions, and several leaders of the private army. But another, more remarkable figure than the old Speaker, the Guard General, was given an ordinary cemetery in the cemetery on the hill behind the castle, where he was buried like an ordinary Akmund warrior.
For the first time, Richard failed to fulfill his public promise by sparing the family of the Guard General.
This day is also a very special anniversary. It was on this day a year ago that Gordon led a large army into the Rocky plane. A year later, Richard reclaimed the Black Rose Castle and assumed himself lord of Akmund. The recognized Akmund Triumvirate, Sauron, Goliath, and Ellie, all remained silent about Richard's declaration.
It was the reverence of the new king.
