Chapter 205: Utilization Value
Reinforcements determine the course of the battle, and when they are 100 meters away from their targets and have their own geographical advantages, the Faceless Ones are extremely powerful killers. When a round of spells goes out, it is dozens of death zones with a radius of five meters. Since the enemy's main forces could not come up, the remaining vanguard was left to be slaughtered.
Fundamentally, the danger in this battle was due to the fact that Curt underestimated the enemy. He had too few men to prepare, and he didn't expect the Dragon Nation to have ingenious tactics. This annoyed Curt a bit, so he joined the Faceless One's spell salvo as well.
"That guy should be an important person in the Dragon Nation. ”
Blue Kate walked over to Curt and pointed at the enemies who had been bombarded with spells. Following his fingers, Curt saw a teenager under the protection of numerous knights. The boy was obscured by a heavy shield, revealing only half of his face, and it was all panic, none other than Charlie, the prince of the Dragon Nation.
Kirt nodded, agreeing with Lankate's statement. Although he thought it was strange, he didn't understand what that useless young royal family was doing in front of the battle. However, Curt still called Gordon and asked him to organize ten sacrificial swords and attack in the direction of Charlie together.
The offensive is very smooth, it is simply too smooth. Except for the half-dragon knights who were besieging the city, the rest of the enemies were just a rabble. Curt condescendingly looked down at the battle situation, feeling more and more confused. Cameron stood beside him, looked at the enemy in the distance and said:
"Master, the main forces of the enemy have retreated. ”
"Oh...... It's really ......."
Curt rubbed his forehead, noticing that the enemy phalanx, separated behind the mountain pass, began to withdraw from the battlefield. They left in an orderly manner without hesitation. Curt then looked at the dwindling enemies under the city. A thought flashed through my head. He pointed to Charlie, who was hiding behind Bell. Hurriedly commanded:
"Get your guns ready. Cameron. Pay attention to the people around that royal family and don't let anything happen to him. ”
"Yes. ”
Cameron didn't quite understand Curt's intentions, but he did so immediately. Under Curt's arrangement, the five Arcane Hunters stopped shooting and joined Cameron to spy on Charlie. They leaned against the edge of the wall and silently aimed at their target.
When the remaining allies around them became less and less, the four knights turned abruptly and rushed towards Bell and Charlie. Queen Caterina's secret order is for Her Royal Highness the Prince to die in battle. Glorious sacrifice for the country. These four knights are dead soldiers loyal to Queen Caterina and will definitely follow orders to the end.
Bell, who had long expected this scene, blushed and stood in front of Prince Charlie. It's just that his weapons have been confiscated, and he has been poured with drugs that make his body weak, and I'm afraid he won't even be able to get a few seconds of space.
It was Queen Caterina's plan to have Prince Charles die justifiably and then raise her young brother Gary to ascend to the throne and take sole power as queen regent. A Thousand Laws City is very suitable for the role of a murderer, not only to help Caterina get rid of Charlie, but also to give her more leverage when facing Mori Blue in the Stormland Country. It was worth sacrificing a few hundred soldiers for this. Caterina and her co-conspirators think so.
Of course, there is always a discrepancy between plans and reality. Cameron and five prepared arcane hunters shot at the same time. A big surprise for the knights. The knight smirked and swung his sword, ready to split Bell diagonally from shoulder to waist. He is an elite knight known for his strange powers, and he is quite confident in his own strength.
Bell almost gave up, and he hugged Prince Charlie, trying to block out some damage for Charlie as much as possible. Then there was a strange sound, like some kind of fruit had been smashed. Something warm spilled on Bell while he heard Prince Charlie scream.
Seconds passed, and Bell was surprised to see that he was still alive. He looked up hesitantly and saw several hideous corpses lying nearby. The dead knights were shot in the head, their helmets pierced, and blood and brains spilled everywhere. One of the knights was shot in the forehead by a bullet through the crack in his helmet, and his entire head became a rotten watermelon.
In the sudden turn of events, some of the soldiers who noticed what had happened were at a loss. The assassination of the prince was a secret affair that the soldiers did not know about in advance. In their eyes, this is more like a blatant rebellion. Maybe it's because the spies of Qianfa City have long been mixed into the army, so this kind of thing happened.
At the same time, the Swords of Sacrifice made their final charge. Under the baptism of bullets and spells, the remnants of the Dragon Realm have been pitifully small. In Curt's urgent announcement, the Swords of Sacrifice tried to use non-lethal means to defeat the remaining soldiers. The remnants of less than thirty soldiers were quickly cleared, and then the sacrificial swords stood up straight, their swords in front of them, and stood in a circle around Prince Charles and Bell.
"Your Highness, it's okay. Don't be afraid, I'm still here. ”
Bell carefully comforted Prince Charlie and patted Charlie, who was constantly shaking. Then he straightened up, puffed up his chest and shouted:
"I am the Marquis of Bell, Prince Charlie's guardian. You are from the city of a thousand laws, right? I formally surrender to you. ”
"I accept your surrender, Marquis Bell. I'm the mage of the Thousand Laws City, Curt. Welcome to the two of you as captives of the Thousand Laws City, and now your safety is guaranteed by me. ”
Curt, who had just teleported, smiled and slowly approached. He calmly stretched out his hand and shook the pale Bell. Then Curt looked at Prince Charlie, who was hiding behind Bell, and said with some doubts:
"This ...... Is it His Royal Highness the Prince?"
Curt didn't hide his expression, apparently suspicious of Charlie's identity. In his opinion, Prince Charlie, who has a long and delicate appearance, looks very neutral. If it was a princess, Curt would probably believe it.
Bell was a little embarrassed, he knew what Curt was thinking. It's a pity that Charlie blindly used Bell as a shield and didn't plan to stand up and say a few words. So Bell had no choice but to cough dryly, and said as tactfully as possible:
"His Royal Highness the Prince has been frightened, and I am sorry that I cannot communicate with you in person. Lord Curt, as I said before, we surrendered. Please give us the protection we deserve, and if you want a ransom......"
"There will be no ransom, Lord Bell, and you know it. ”
Curt shook his head and unceremoniously interrupted Bell. He stared at Prince Charles, who was still hiding half of his body, and said indifferently:
"I saw your assassins, they are the elite warriors of the Dragon Nation. I haven't figured out the exact situation yet, but I don't think the Dragon Nation will send someone to ransom the two of them. In other words, even if they were willing to pay the ransom, they would not be willing to go back. With all due respect, in the battle just now, the army of the two was simply sent to the death. I'm not a seasoned veteran, but I can see something so obvious. ”
“...... What do you want?"
Belle was silent for a long time before asking ambiguous questions. Curt smiled and replied:
"I don't want to do anything, someone else will make arrangements for you. Now please come with me, take a good rest, and there should be a long conversation later. ”
"Okay, please lead the way. ”
Bell cooperated to pick up Prince Charlie and followed Curt to Red Rock City. Ten sacrificial swords followed to the left and right, as if they were escorting and guarding. On the way, Curt instructed Gordon to take all the wounded soldiers of the Dragon Nation into custody and give them the necessary treatment. The assassination of Prince Charles is a big deal, and Curt wants to keep as many witnesses as possible.
A few hours later, Curt, Kate Ranchte, and Prince Wren sat down in a secret room in Red Rock to interrogate Bell and Prince Charlie. said that it was an interrogation, but Lan Kate basically kept a straight face and did not speak, and Curt and Prince Wren also used polite words, completely discussing the problem.
Bell tried to be as honest as possible in answering the questions he encountered. It can be seen that he puts Prince Charlie's personal safety first and has a considerable awareness of his own situation. Bell even explicitly hinted that he and Prince Charles had a lot of political value. Regarding Queen Caterina's usurpation plot, Bell also explained it quite carefully.
During a break in the conversation, Prince Wren stepped out onto the balcony to flex his muscles. He glanced at Curt, who was thoughtful, and said in a low voice:
"Do you have any ideas? I always felt that Prince Charlie could be a weapon against the Dragon Nation if used well. ”
"The conventional approach was to establish a regime in exile in the name of Charlie, who was indeed the heir to orthodoxy. ”
Curt replied listlessly, and continued with some interest:
"The problem is that now Prince Charles is a captive, and although he is not dead, Katerina already has a legitimate reason to take power. Thinking about it from a distance, if we give Prince Charles some troops, let him fight Caterina in his free body, and divide the power of the Dragon Nation, it is also logically possible. But Prince Charlie's character...... You've seen it. He doesn't have what it takes to be a king, or even a small group leader. If I were Katarina, I would also abolish such a brother. ”
"It's really ruthless, it seems that the orthodox inheritance is not welcomed by many people. But I'm one of the beneficiaries, so forget it. ”
Prince Wren shrugged and laughed at himself. At this time, Lan Kate also walked onto the balcony, he frowned, and seemed to be struggling with his brain. After pondering for a while, Lankite turned to Curt and said:
"It should be fine to leave Bell and Charlie to you for the time being, right?As for how to use them, I'd like to hear what Master Eoham has to say. ”
"Yes. ”
Ke Ting nodded and replied briskly:
"How about throwing them to the Black Tower? I always thought that Prince Charles was still a child. (To be continued......)
