Chapter 70

The Holy See has begun to build their kingdom.

The king confirmed that.

In the last port city that needed the king to deal with personally, a spy who didn't have time to tidy himself up was received by the king.

He's an overseas agent that Legrand sent to Blaise.

It's the only one who's made it back to Legrand.

At the beginning of the new year, the king ordered the recall of a group of overseas spies who had contacts with brachferry III. But it's not until today that one has returned to Legrand, and the others have been intercepted on the way.

The surviving spy handed a letter sealed with fire paint to the king.

I believe that the brescian expeditionary army who negotiated with the king, general Karl. The content of the letter was very short. After reading it, the king looked at the spy in front of him: "how was general Carl before you left Blaise?"

Mr. spy carefully recalled: "it's no different from the past. He is also responsible for the coronation of Ferri III. But General Carr has two new housekeepers

There are two new housekeepers

"Go and get what you deserve." The king nodded, "with the rest."

The spy saluted and went out to avoid the others.

The king put the letter on the table.

Before the spy came back, the coronation of Ferri III began. It was not long after the plague ships and the northern rebellion in Legrand. And Ferri III wrote this secret letter through general Carl, conveying the message that he was not controlled by the secret baptism of the coronation of the Holy See.

This is good news.

As long as the real monarch of Blaise was not controlled, a war could not be avoided if the Holy See wanted to seize Blaise.

But it's also bad news.

With the prudence that Ferri III had shown in his previous contact with him, he did not directly let general Carr, who was close to him, hand over the letter to the roglan spy. It's too easy to expose - it means that although the secret method didn't work, the papal mission still has a high degree of control in the capital of Brasi.

General Carr's housekeeper changed two All the pro party members of Ferri III are under surveillance.

"The kingdom of God..."

The king gave a cold smile and dropped the letter into the fireplace.

If he guessed correctly, when rogrand's spies overcame all difficulties and successfully returned, Blaise, on the other side of the abyss channel, should have been caught in the same fire.

The housekeeper is ready to return to the Rose Palace.

The plague in the southeast was under control, and by this time, according to the conscription order, the lords had taken their knights from all over the country to the assembly point. The "department in charge of transportation in Legrand", which was set up by the king before, coordinated the transportation of grain, grass and materials at this time.

Because of the blockade, the merchants who could not go to sea also received the task assigned by the royal family.

The ships that had been moored for a long time rowed again. Under the coordination of the Ministry of land transportation, the merchants fulfilled their obligations and transported the materials to the north at the fastest speed through inland river shipping.

When the king returned to the Rose Palace, the preparatory work was almost finished.

"Let's go."

Said the king to the housekeeper who came in for orders.

He didn't even plan to wait for the day to break.

The night was dark.

On the tallest tower of the city, a figure stands quietly.

Ordinary people can not stand so high in such a cold wind, and he is not ordinary people.

The cold wind was blowing the devil's black dress. He was holding a black umbrella in one hand. Since he invited the king to hell, he seemed to have been carrying this umbrella with a sword. These days, he carried out the king's orders and cleaned up the small-scale pestilence along the southeast coast. It seemed that he was very busy and did not appear in front of the king.

However, at this time, he stood here in silence, which showed that things did not seem like that.

He doesn't seem to have to go to every place to open the gates of hell as he did at the beginning.

All the birds that stopped around the tower disappeared. The birds that used to hide under the warm eaves were more sensitive than human beings. The devil stood here, so there was silence around.

The devil watched the king's carriage scurrying away in the snow to the war that belonged to the monarch.

He still had a scarlet rose in his hand.

"You are as stubborn as ever."

The devil seemed worried. He raised the rose in the direction of the king's departure.

"Next, I can't follow you, so..."

"Good luck."

With that, he leaned slightly and turned into a group of black butterflies.

It seems that the black butterfly, which is broken by the wind, flies into the high air like a black fog, following the strong air flow, and quickly goes in the direction of Blaise. When the holy court was about to be established on the other side of the Strait, the devil of hell stepped into the future kingdom of God.He went to retrieve something that should have belonged to the king.

After all

He once told a little lie to his dear king: there is no line of destiny, no so-called destiny that originally belonged to purland.

Because -

those are the fate of the king, another fate.

…………

Northland, Newcastle.

Rebel forces surrounded the royal castle.

The rebels who carried out the siege were well equipped. At this time, on the battlefield outside the city, tall heavy pole catapults were pushed onto the battlefield. The soldiers yelled and turned the winch to slowly lower the empty boom. After the stone bombs were loaded, the people holding axes nearby cut off the ropes.

The wooden winch turned rapidly, the catapult creaked, and the end of the load fell heavily. At the same time, with a huge roar, the boulders were thrown out high and smashed into the perforated towers of Newcastle castle.

Who knows which psycho is responsible for Newcastle Castle design!

He almost wanted to arm the castle to the teeth, so as to build a hedgehog - fortunately, the castle is still some distance away from the completion of the construction, and the North Tower is now only a rudiment.

Otherwise, they can't expect to capture the castle in a short time.

When the rebel general cursed the castle, he never thought that the designer who wanted to arm the castle to his teeth was standing on the wall.

"What the hell are you doing with a designer on a city wall?"

The commander blocked the debris falling from his head and dragged James, who was nearly killed by the boulder, to a safer place.

When the soldiers told him that James was on the wall, the commander was almost mad at this guy.

At present, the boulders are roaring, and the people guarding the city and the tower may be killed at any time. A designer of his is coming here?! Is it killing me?

James spewed out the sand in his mouth while holding a pen, and quickly wrote on his own drawing: "there are errors between design and actual combat! Only when you see it with your own eyes can you make a more appropriate change The location of this tower is not reasonable enough. "

The commander snatched the pen from his hand and threw it out.

Boom, another bang.

People standing behind the protective wall felt the vibration under their feet. Several huge stones hit the city wall. The commander cursed and looked out of the city from the peephole. When the catapult continued to launch huge stones, the enemy had already surged up like a tide. Tall siege ladders were pushed onto the battlefield and quickly approached the city wall.

Under the pressure of the catapult, the enemy had planned to take down the castle from the weak point.

Seeing that the ladder tower had been pushed past the filled trench yesterday, and the wall was about to become a battlefield of close combat, the commander could not care to say anything to James. He is a little bit of his own two soldiers.

"Take this guy down! Throw him in the dark way

Said the commander.

At this time, someone came up with hot oil and splashed the hot oil on the wooden ladder on the top of the wall. The commander took the torch from the people nearby and threw it at the tower.

From top to bottom, the fire wound around the siege ladder like a snake, and the enemy standing in the ladder waiting for the battle howled and fell from mid air.

"Get him out of here!"

The commander threw away his shield, grabbed his bow and began to shoot the enemy.

"I can't afford a second designer for the king!"

The air was filled with the smell of burnt wood, blood and human flesh The smoke and dust filled the sky and the flames of war filled the air. There was another loud noise. A tower on the side collapsed, and the soldiers in the tower were drowned in the rubble.

The castle is not finished. It won't last long.

The commander held up his shield, but was still rubbed by a piece of gravel on his cheek. The blood was pouring down. He licked his own blood.

He waited for the second tower to fall.

But the expected collapse did not happen.

"Reinforcements!"

"Reinforcements are coming!"

"Reinforcements are coming -"

cheers of joy spread over the wall, and the soldiers cheered.

The commander was stunned. He looked up.

Galloping horses, trampling the earth with iron hooves, the snow was lifted to the sky like smoke and dust. In the snow dust, the scarlet King's flag is raging, the tide is surging, the armor is clanging, the scarlet and silver torrent comes from the horizon in people's vision.

The cavalry, like a bloody whirlwind across the earth, approached the battlefield in an instant.

The rebels stopped their siege of Newcastle and quickly gathered to meet the cavalry who had suddenly killed them.

The sharp arrow broke through the air.

They were the best longbowmen in Legrand. They took the lead in attacking the enemy after they got into range."Defense - defense -"

the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the person who was on the offensive side at the last moment has become the prey of others.

Yes, it's prey!

The cavalry with the flag of the bloody King formed a crescent like battle line and surrounded the rebels outside Newcastle. These Armored Cavalry arrived at the battlefield, did not do any rest, directly launched a charge, giving people the feeling that this is a tyrannical beast, and the rebel is its prey under the tusks.

Armor vertical and horizontal, blood splashing, as the fierce spread of the king's flag.

"Who is it?"

The general of the rebel army tried to organize a counterattack charge, but the enemy came suddenly and attacked quickly. His army had been scattered and was being trampled by the enemy.

Who is in charge of this cavalry?!

What kind of people will lead such a murderous army?

A war horse passes by on the battlefield. Wherever it passes, all the people who block it are killed. The knight is like a long sword in the battlefield, blood splashed on the knight's armor.

He galloped to the front of the city and chopped at the rebel general.

At that moment, the rebel general saw his ice blue eyes under his helmet.

At the moment of unconsciousness, the general of the rebel army knew who was leading the cavalry.

The snow is still falling in January.

There were still fires burning, bodies of men and horses crisscrossed and piled up in the snow, and the rebels retreated north. The cavalry who came to support did not pursue, their armor was full of blood, holding the king's flag together.

The commander standing on the wall ordered the drawbridge to be lowered.

At the front of all the cavalry, the knight who killed the rebel general took off his helmet. The wind stirred his silver hair, and he was as cold as iron.

The commander recognized him.

That's the lion of the Empire.

The Duke of Buckingham.
