Ankylosaurus calendar 416, late autumn.

The Earl rebelled, marched forward, breached three towns in succession, and with incredible speed and efficiency he collected the outcasts, guards, and routs, and soon increased the number of troops to 70,000 after receiving covert support.

At the same time, chaos broke out again in the plains of Norforth, and the Spa family formed an alliance with Acewood, leaving the fortress army with no time to care.

On the night of the end of the individual competition, King Asra was woken up by the minister in charge, and after receiving the news, the royal court meeting was urgently convened.

The recorder only dared to write down three words: the emperor was furious.

The higher minister, Darius, should send the Knights of the King's Blood to quell the rebellion, but the nobles unanimously opposed.

King Asra decided to use the garrison, only to learn about the parade.

It was indeed the king's private seal and royal coat of arms that were stamped on the edict, but like many affairs, King Asra was completely unimpressed, and he did not spend more than ten minutes a day dealing with affairs, so he did not have time to check them all.

Five royal blood knights were immediately dispatched.

Face the rebels head-on.

Nine days later, the news came back.

The Knights of the King's Blood were completely wiped out, and the invincible army of 50,000 knights was actually less than 13,000 people, with outdated armaments and old horses, and the richest country in the world consumed 20% of taxes every year, and the troops it maintained were about to collapse at the touch of a button.

King Asra first executed hundreds of Mei Ji, and then ordered the remaining five royal blood knights to enter the city.

The second prince was put on trial, this time in public, because the latest report of the court revealed that His Majesty's newborn child was of different blood, and at the same time, the masked ball was discovered, the new queen was imprisoned, and all those who got along with it were beheaded.

Ariel presided over the trial of the second prince of the first generation.

The Third Imperial Council.

A large number of nobles were beheaded, King Asra vented his anger frantically, and all those with vested interests in the events of the Knights of the King's Blood were killed.

The only remaining sanity led him to appoint the First Prince as the Governor of the Crown, with Shaliye as his deputy, with 10,000 Knights of the King's Blood and 20,000 garrisons, and 20,000 infantry in charge of defending the city.

In the name of the imperial court, he issued an edict to the four dukes, and urged the nobles to organize troops to support.

The day after the summons were issued, the Earl's rebels arrived in the royal capital, and the army had expanded to 100,000 men, many of whom wore armor engraved with the coat of arms of the nobility.

……

In the evening, the sunset melts gold.

The golden-red sunset falls towards the top of the mountain in the distance.

At the south gate, on the wide city wall where more than a dozen war horses can run side by side, a stone castle carved with a vortex pattern on the outside stands tall, and the surrounding area is heavily guarded.

In the stone castle, the first prince sat on the main throne, he looked at Uncle Wang, who was much younger than himself, and said solemnly:

"Uncle Wang, I hope you can go out of the city secretly, organize the reinforcements gathered from all over the royal territory to cut off the enemy's rear route, and then we will attack inside and outside, so that we have a chance of winning."

A dozen or so nobles of the court, most of whom were from the military court and subordinate to Darius, were silent, and now the superior minister was guarding the Silver Palace to prevent spies and assassins from causing trouble.

"There is no need to mention this matter, Brother Wang said that if you want to stick to the end, then I will not resist the king's order, and I am willing to give up such a great achievement." Jiang Yuan said lightly, the royal capital is in crisis, including the invitation from the new queen a while ago, and it seems that it was obviously a frame-up in hindsight.

"In that case, then Uncle Wang will go and garrison the east gate of the city, and leave the south to me." The first prince said with a deep look in his eyes.

"You can't do it."

Jiang Yuan got up and left the table, rode the alchemy war horse and ran along the city wall, two teams of guards behind him followed, and on the right side of his sight, the dense military camp spread out on the ground, and before he reached the end of the south wall, a new round of attacks began again.

The enemy's Earth King-level magicians cast a wide range of ramparts, four of which rose to the height of the city walls, and each attack meant that the opponent had completed the recovery of mana.

The rebels launched a fierce attack, which was actually elite compared to the defenders, and the magician groups on both sides launched long-range attacks against each other, the swordsmen fought closely, the blood gradually accumulated into shallow puddles, and countless corpses gradually fell from the city walls.

The sword-clad sword slashed through the armor, the fireballs rained down on the flesh and blood, the longbows were raised at the same time, the arrows rained down, and the heavy axes wielded huge axes again and again, these creatures with amazing natural courage could smash the enemy army and even the armor together.

Occasionally, a fire rose in several places, and the pungent smell of blood was burning, and one of the garrison infantry held the corpse of his companion aloft, and then threw it forward, instantly smashing several enemy soldiers.

The alchemy war horse smashed a broken palm, and Jiang Yuan came to the east side of the city, where the leader of the defenders was the Duke of Pilemon, who was sitting on two corpses resting at the moment.

"What do you say he's for?"

Ignoring the honorifics, Duke Pilemon asked, both of them are the second princess faction, and they are assigned to the same place, which has advantages and disadvantages, and the disadvantage is that they have lost their vision of the overall situation.

"I don't know."

Jiang Yuan dismounted, he only brought two teams of guards, a total of fifty people, the remaining five hundred and fifty people of the Iron Guard Force were stationed in the manor, Xia Mi, Sheng Yi, Deputy Sheng Yi, Luo Qixi, and six assassins, no matter how chaotic the ten Sword Saints were, they could ensure safety, not to mention that he also handed over the second matrix dagger to Xia Mi, so that he could retreat at any time, and there was no worries at all.

Night is approaching, under the afterglow, the most fierce wave of attacks began, there are only 8,000 infantry on the east side of the city wall, fortunately, the enemy army does not appear on this side of the earth king-level magician, close to one or two earth saints, the battle situation is a bit tragic at best.

"Something is wrong, how can one earl recruit so many masters." When Pilemon saw a Northern Shenliu Sword Saint ascend to the top of the city, he immediately asked his guards to go up to block it, and the other party was the first guy to break through the defense for a while.

Although the sword master is strong, his fighting spirit is limited, his attack is high and his defense is low, everything in this world has magic power, even if it is a roadside corpse, fighting energy and magic power are of the same origin, and refined steel is known as magic steel, which has a certain attack resistance.

The Armored Soldier is the best tool to drain the energy of the strong.

After dozens of guards were killed, the dense fireballs of the magician regiment scattered, and the Sword Master was forced to leap backwards into the air, Jiang Yuan pulled out the bloody longbow, and an arrow pierced the enemy's skull.

"I saw the coat of arms of Bereas." Jiang Yuan said.

Piremon was dumbfounded, there was no movement on the side of the territory of Boreas, and Duke Saurus was a supporter of the first prince, and the inside story behind it was extremely scary.

With the death of the Juggernaut, the offensive came to an end for the time being.

Due to the conditions, the dinner is not luxurious.

Pickled fish, white bread, ointment, grilled meat, a mixture of legume grains and fresh vegetables, even dukes and princes could not eat too delicately.

Halfway through the meal, the drums of war beat again in the moonlight.

"It's crazy." Pilemon muttered, drew his sword and got up, directing officers at all levels to fight.
