Chapter 19

"Can I come to the conclusion that you demons have no memory at all?"

The king sat up. His shoulder was slightly sore, but the wound was much better. The holy fire healed the wound.

Only one of Baron Hearn's three arrows hit the king. The reason why there were two holes in the cloak was that after the king pulled out his arrow, he poked it in the heart behind the cloak.

He seemed to want Baron Sheehan to think he was dead.

"If you say that, my colleagues will be wronged for nothing."

The devil dodged the point, and the king was clearly in his rage. He was wise not to provoke the king Although the possibility is low.

"Long time no see, your majesty."

"It's too long for your brain to remember the terms of the contract, isn't it?"

Sure enough, the king is not a forgetful man.

On the contrary, he has an amazing memory, and he is also very good at revenge He seems to have a plan to double the old and the new.

The devil sensed a bad momentum.

"Yes, your majesty." The devil said to himself, "abandon the human form, and you will have real eternal life. Besides, look at your ministers - how blind they are! Dare to betray you! And we are different - hell has been waiting for you for a long time! My dear majesty, we will be your most loyal ministers, the sharpest blade, and we will offer you the dark kingdom. "

"Your sophistry is as it used to be."

Answered the king.

Then he expressed his attitude in one word:

"go away."

"My dear majesty, you are too eccentric! It's not just the world that can offer you a throne. " The devil held out his hand to help the king stand up from the ground.

The king ignored him.

OK, he can be sure. If the king had a holy sword in his hand now, he would not hesitate to poke it into his heart.

Thought the devil.

The skeleton of the white bone carriage closed his mouth and did not dare to splash sulfur tears. Nightmare quietly put down the front hoof, no longer hissing. They seem to have a natural awe of the king, at this time a very quiet, very hellish characteristics to sell their master.

Let the devil face the anger of the king himself.

The devil cursed in his heart.

He saw the king go to the fallen knight of the oath, and quickly tried to reduce the king's anger: "they just fell into sleep!"

In order to confirm his words, he snapped his fingers, and a mass of black fog flew out of the oath knights, and they were cured.

"In fact, your majesty, you may have misunderstood me a little bit."

The devil's attitude towards the king is very strange. If he has a chance, he will try his best to take away the king's soul. Besides, he is really willing to do everything for the king. When the king woke up, he immediately stopped acting out of line and tried not to be so serious.

"I've come to escort you back to the palace. Look, what a beautiful carriage I have prepared for you. "

"Beautiful enough for the twelve holy magistrates to cross the sea, right?"

The king picked up the knight's long sword.

"They can be a little disguised. And it allows you to leave here quietly without being noticed by the mice outside. " The devil has a keen insight into the plot, he guessed a little of the king's plan, and took the opportunity to cleverly show their own use value.

Alas, he knows too well what his majesty is like -

a qualified king.

As long as it is of use value, it is useful to the rulers, so the monarchs do not mind delaying the hatred a little. Of course, as long as there is a chance, your Majesty would like to come.

So he said, the king is really suitable for hell.

The king had no expression, but with a clang, he pushed his sword into the scabbard.

The devil shrugged helplessly.

…………

In order that the king could not easily pull out the sword which he pushed back the scabbard, the devil worked very hard this time.

The white bone carriage pulled by nightmare has changed into an ordinary and humble carriage. The Knights of the oath woke up one after another, and the devil asked his majesty politely if he wanted to erase their memory.

The king mercilessly refused his flattery.

The oath Knights won the king's rare trust with their loyalty. Now, any one of the vowing Knights has a higher status than the devil in the eyes of the king.

Of course, the Knights showed that they were reliable.

When they woke up, they found the king sitting in the carriage unharmed, almost in tears with joy. However, if the king did not stop them in time, they would have drawn their swords to fight with the devil."He's working for me now."

The king was sitting by the carriage window in a new red cloak which the devil had found somewhere.

In this era, people treat demons, monsters, witches These are not strange, although for ordinary people, most of them regard these as terrible nightmares, but the people at the top obviously know more about them.

This is the case with the Knight Commander.

After several battles, the oath Knights seem to have regarded the king as omnipotent. The knight was not surprised at the king's ability to drive the devil - perhaps in his view, it was only natural that all creatures on the land of Legrand should submit to the king.

But he was hostile to the devil.

"Your Majesty. Even the treacherous traitors are more trustworthy than the devil. Both legend and history have proved that they are treacherous, insidious and capricious. "

The Knight Commander admonished him faithfully.

"I know."

The king has confirmed that the devil cannot touch himself directly. He gave a cold smile, which meant something.

"The rose family is not without a Templar."

Alas

The driving devil once again missed the dark ages.

How amiable people were to the devil at that time.

During the day, the carriage swaggered out of the forest with the four knights.

Baron Hearn's soldiers scrupulously controlled all the exits of the forest, and the devil deliberately passed them. But none of them found out.

As he left the forest, the king's eyes passed the castle of TRU standing in the sun.

………………

The king left quietly, indicating that he didn't want to expose himself to the public so quickly.

This also means that the news of "the king is dead" will soon spread all over the land of Legrand.

It seems that the king is determined to solve all the emergency crises hidden in the original fate line at one stroke.

He bypassed tru castle and took another route to the palace.

After being camouflaged, the devil's nightmare carriage can not be found suspicious by monks, but it also limits its speed. Now it is similar to an ordinary carriage. However, in the glorious age of theocracy, it is always right to be cautious.

Two days have passed since the night of encirclement and betrayal.

The king's carriage stopped in an ordinary tavern and he rested in his room.

The king had now locked in his real enemy.

According to the law of succession to the throne in the middle ages, not a few people were qualified to ascend the throne after his death. Rose family's blood relatives, as well as other disorderly and the royal family certain marriage relations nobles. Let's say that the people who can profit from the death of the king can go all the way from the palace to the outside of the city, and at least a dozen of them are qualified to peep at the throne.

Therefore, before the assassination, the king can only list all possible enemies.

But now he knows who it is.

The clue is on the heavy cavalry of the gurendys.

The heavy cavalry of gurendy, as a kind of ferocious mercenary with terrible combat effectiveness, would not appear in the territory of Legrand without accident. They are distributed on the continent of elta to the south to the east of the abyss Strait. Only those who control the coastal ports in the southeast of Legrand have the opportunity to receive such foreign aid.

The striking image of the Grundy heavy cavalry required him to have a certain influence on the transportation of the Empire, otherwise he could not let a group of grundy heavy cavalry quietly appear on the grassland outside tru castle.

In addition, the king had a brief contact with Baron Hearn.

Leaving aside the betrayal, Baron Hearn is undoubtedly a qualified general and a qualified Lord. People who can persuade him to cooperate with them must not have too many stains in the eyes of the public.

Therefore, it is clear who the enemy is:

Archduke Grice.

A well-known but previously the most low-key aristocrat. He also has the right to inherit the throne, even similar to the Duke of Buckingham.

The dog that can bite doesn't bark. Isn't that the truth?

Hidden in the shadow of one side of the window, the king looked down the street indifferently, and could see from time to time two or three armed cavalry galloping down the road.

The presence of cavalry on everyday streets is itself a sign of unrest.

The Duke of Buckingham didn't die, which made everything that was about to happen very different from the fate line. An old Duke who is famous and at the top of the succession list means too much. Moreover, he would be the most powerful royalist as long as he didn't see the king's body with his own eyes.

It is necessary to draw the sword and the crossbow.

But war will be very restrained.

The king knew that.

The war of this era is like playing chess. Castle and knight are the pieces on the chessboard. The players mobilize the pieces on the chessboard to consume and revenge each other. But as long as it is not until the last moment, no one will easily have a confrontation. It's going to be a stalemate. [1]That's what the king needs.

Besides, he needs an army.

An army that can support him in secret and no one can guess.

As early as in the cold night of the forest, the king realized where he could get the army.

The answer is angel.

A rebellious wild state.
