The flowers bloom in two, one on each branch.

In the castle barracks, Bruce frowned when he saw the swallow flying into the narrow archery port, and raised his hand to signal the military staff officer who was speaking to be quiet first.

The swallow took on the form of Cassander in the air, and before he could land the druid, he shouted, "Catch that chunky bastard!" ”

Bruce immediately glanced at the guard next to him. Obviously, the guards had been reminded of who to watch out for in advance, and when they went up, they pressed Tang of the Wanderers' Guild to the ground.

Tang looked surprised: "Why?" Bruce, I'm not too thin for you! ”

Cassander: "His purpose is really to open up underground trade routes, not to save the principality from an underground crisis. He has been working hard to open up underground passages, and even did not hesitate to send people to trade with Irwin! His henchmen have brought Urwin and the mage's legion of evil creatures to the Wanderers Guild to attack us! ”

Don: "What's wrong with that?" If I can solve the problem by persuasion, I will choose persuasion! As for you going to war with Irwin, I think there must be some misunderstanding here! ”

Cassander pointed at Don and continued, "His goal is to open the underground passage and then put the Emperor's army in!" He had long known that His Royal Highness Wayne had become a monk (referring to becoming a holy warrior), and he knew that the old duke had no intention of shuffling the cards of all parties at all, at most it was rebalancing! So he introduced the Emperor! Shuffle the cards through the Emperor! ”

"Nonsense!" Tang said angrily, "I've been supporting the second prince, Lord Lord!" Even you, Casander, only came into contact with adults through me! You're still my work in the beginning! ”

Cassander: "But I was attracted by the charisma of an adult. Now I am loyal to my lords and am ready to give my life at any time. In fact, two of my teammates have already given their lives! ”

Bruce was shocked: "Fernie and Kellerman are dead?" ”

Cassander nodded.

Bruce almost lost his footing and had to hold on to the edge of the sandbox with his hand.

After calming down a bit, Bruce asked in a deep voice, "How did they die?" ”

Cassander described it in as simple language as possible.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wayne, who had not spoken, frowned and asked, "So the seven-ring mage who held some kind of artifact was not killed?" It's bad, we have to organize an encirclement team immediately, Your Excellency Archmage, please come with me......"

Cassander: "Lord Wang will take care of it." If he can't handle the unfortunate death, we can verify whether his so-called uncle really exists. Considering all the luxury gear he's wearing, it probably won't be long before we don't have to worry about any underground threats. ”

Tang continued: "But now the demon army has not appeared. Could it all be your illusion, we know that druids like to use an herb to communicate with Elysium. ”

Cassander: "It's not an illusion, Her Royal Highness can testify!" Now send your troops at once to Gallows Square, where Your Highness awaits the king's return. ”

Wayne winked at the officer next to him, who immediately turned and left.

At this time, Bruce glared at Don, who was still pressed to the ground, and said: "I'm very angry now, you'd better tell all the conspiracies and plots." ”

"What? Just because of the gibberish of a druid? He doesn't even have proof! ”

Bruce: "My dear brother, please immediately lead the Wanderers Guild to destroy the Wanderers Guild and confirm the battlefield Cassander is talking about." ”

"My cronies have gone to do this, and I have to be by your side." Wayne said, "I can't afford to lose another loved one. ”

Bruce: "Brother! Don't you understand? I'm here to get you, a paladin, out of here! Because something is about to happen here that is very much inconsistent with your creed! Let's go! ”

Wayne: "I knew it was going to happen, but my creed and my oath kept me from standing by while evil might happen. ”

Bruce turned to look at his brother, "What if he really plans to put the emperor's troops into the city?" What kind of behavior does this seem to you? Isn't it a violation of the holy warriors' creed and oath to sit back and watch something evil happen? Brother, I order you to take your troops to destroy the Wanderers' Guild's lair and seize all the documents inside. ”

Wayne hesitated, but still saluted his brother, "Yes, Lord Lord." ”

After the paladin led the group, Bruce took out a ring with spikes and placed it on the middle finger of his right hand, with the spikes pointing outward.

"Let's see how good the esteemed Don is to keep secrets. Someone, go and call the gardener of the Duke's Palace. Before the gardener comes, let me test the hardness of your bones, honorable Don! ”

As he spoke, Bruce punched Don in the cheek, and the spikes in the ring plunged directly into Don's skin, bringing a string of flesh with him.

Tang let out a pig howl: "I move! I've got it! I colluded with the emperor! Prepare to transport the Emperor's army using the Underground Shield Road! ”

Bruce frowned: "Underground shield road? ”

"Hmph," Don regained his usual attitude of contempt for others, "Your old fox has been trying to figure out how the guild smuggled things in. He sent someone to rummage through everything that looked like a cavern around Langdon, not realizing that we were following a path that the ancient dwarves had built deep underground. ”

Bruce looked back at Cassander, "Do you know this?" ”

"I've never been a member of the guild's smuggling team."

Don: "The old fox sent undercover agents many times, and I saw through them. It's something I've been able to get my hands on. Langdon City was built on ancient ruins, you only use the ruins as sewers, in fact, there are dwarven walls under the ruins, of course, there are not a single dwarf in the walled city now.

"This city was originally a fortress for the dwarves, the starting point of the shield road, and the connection point to the waterway, how could the dwarves allow humans to settle here? And in this huge dwarven walled city, there is also an underground passage. This is the military road used by the dwarven army to move back then, and you can go north to the border with the Steyr Territory! ”

Saying that, Tang laughed: "Although the last section of this passage is blocked by damn goblins and kobolds, the other parts are still open. The Emperor's army should have set off last night. If there are no more people in the way of the underground, the Emperor's army can arrive at any time! ”

Bruce's face changed, and he turned his head and shouted, "Quick, mobilize the troops, and seal all the intersections in the city that can come out of the underground!" ”

Immediately several barons stepped forward.

"I'm familiar with the terrain of the city, let me do it!"

"Are you just familiar with the terrain around the courtyard, or am I coming, I have lived in the city for a long time."

Bruce: "Let the city garrison do it, and get the militia in action." You guys go together! ”

Several barons and the captain of the city guard took the order together.

"It's useless," Don continued, "His Majesty the Emperor has promised that I will henceforth be the new Duke of Langdon." This city will eventually become my belongings! ”

Bruce shook his head: "No, you won't have that chance. ”

He drew the sword that held down Don's guard and aimed it at the neck of the Humpty Dumpty guild leader—

Cassander yelled, "Don't! Wang said that Tang still had a life-saving prop on his body, and he had not used it until now, there must be something strange about it-"

Bruce's stopped.

"Archmage! Check what props he's on! Paid it in! ”

Don was stunned: "You've improved, Bruce, I thought you would succumb to your anger and kill me." ”

Bruce: "And then you can run away, right?" ”

At this time, the archmage took out a small sculpture from Humpty Dumpty: "This is it." There's a triggered teleportation spell on it. Because the magic aura is so faint, no one told me that he had this on him, and I really couldn't find out. How did that king know? ”

Bruce: "He's the apprentice of a legendary archmage. ”

"It's a shame to follow your sister." Tang smiled, "Just snatch him over......"

Suddenly, the guards guarding the bedside suddenly exclaimed: "The city is on fire!" ”

Don laughed out loud, and even if he suppressed his guards, he couldn't stop laughing.

Bruce ignored him, and immediately made a decision:

"The dwarves' underground transportation path is definitely not easy for humans to walk, and there won't be too many enemies! And the long march from the underground passage is already very tired. The whole army attacked, and simply killed the troops entering the city! ”

"Report!" With a herald, several soldiers carried a seriously wounded hussar into the command room, "Scout who has just returned!" ”

"Your Lord!" The light cavalry said in a dying voice, "The emperor's light cavalry is less than thirty miles away from here. The banner is the Amur mercenary group! ”

Bruce turned to the clerk and asked, "How many people are in this regiment?" ”

The clerk quickly flipped through the thick list of mercenaries: "Found it!" There are 3000 elite cavalry and 2000 mounted infantry! ”

Bruce: "How long ago was this?" ”

"Seven years ago."

Bruce scolded and ordered, "Put the priest!" Heal him! Close the gates! ”

Then Bruce gave several more orders.

Then he stopped and turned his head to look at the priest who was treating the wounded.

He stared at the wound that had healed beneath the hussar's open collar.

"Pastor, did the previous treatment leave such a noticeable scab?"

Pastor: "The wound is deep, my lord. This is normal. ”

Bruce pursed his lips and didn't speak.

At this moment, a restless herald ran into the command room.

"Minato Ward is coming! Discover the fleets from the Valley Lords! ”

Don laughed even louder.

Bruce turned his head to stare at him.

The moment he met his gaze, Tang spoke: "Twelve electors, not counting six of you who support you. Guess who the remaining four support after the emperor? The Vale has never been your ally, because your tariffs are too high. ”

Bruce grimaced.

Tang continued: "The Emperor has always known that you are capable because I reported it to him. Now I have a small request, can I see for myself how you are dealing with this crisis? ”

Bruce snorted: "No, I won't keep a dangerous guy like you, for those who are threatening, we must cut down the grass and eradicate it as soon as possible." ”

Don smiled slightly: "Okay, do what I teach you, my child with Tenessa......"

The next moment, the long sword pierced through his throat.

Bruce Langdon drew his sword and scolded loudly: "This dog mongrel, when he is dying, he will bewitch the people and shake our military spirit!" Even to blaspheme the innocence of my deceased mother! Whoever dares to talk about this matter will be punished for treason, and there will be no forgiveness! ”

After saying that, the duke put away his long sword and ordered with a resolute face: "Close the door first, the cavalry don't pay attention to it for the time being, they definitely don't have siege weapons." Use fire to deal with enemies as they enter the city. Threats on the water are dealt with with the ballistas on the towers of the inner city, which was originally built to block the river with ballistas!! ”
