Chapter 90

The rebels who guarded the tower held up their shields and swords in vain to prevent the entry of the roglan soldiers, but without the protection of the hard wall, they had no maximum barrier.

The sword collided, the shield was knocked on the tower, blood cascaded from the neck of the killed people, flying high, leaving a cruel painting on the wall. Under the command of general Sheehan, soldiers swept through the tower layer by layer, and warm bodies tumbled down the spiral stairs.

Under the escort of his own soldiers, general vulture retreated from the southeast tower of the fort to the northwest tower.

"Retreat, general!"

The head of the personal guard said anxiously to general vulture.

"I can't keep it! Let's move to the fortress in the back first

"Look down."

General vulture answered coldly, shield in one hand and sword in the other.

The fighting is getting closer and closer. The octagonal Blackstone fortress has a tower on each corner, which can resist the approaching enemy from all directions. But as long as any tower is broken and the enemy enters the interior of the fortress, their advantage will be lost.

The captain of the convoy looked down through an archery hole as general vulture said.

There was a slight pause in his breath.

Under the tower, the king and the rose cavalry stood quietly in the northwest of the fortress. They held the same rose flag, which was rolled by the wind.

They look down on their hunting grounds like lions, arrogant and cold.

The lion has completed the most dangerous part of hunting, and the rest is just the struggle of the prey. In the line they delineate, all the prey are just dying to resist, and death is doomed to come.

When the guard looked around, the king in the crowd suddenly raised his head, and he took a step back. At that moment, he had the illusion that the other side seemed to be so far away, still keenly aware of his gaze. But soon, the guard chief exclaimed in surprise: "general! Look! General

General Condor gave him a strange look and went to the archery hole.

The rose cavalry, originally stationed under the northwest tower of the fortress, turned around and went towards the corner they had broken. Their way to the opposite fortress was let out.

"They're gone! Let's go

The head of the guard said excitedly.

General vulture frowned tightly. He was able to make dangerous moves as soon as he came up, so that the cavalry, who was not valued in the siege, could break their most peripheral defense He didn't think the king would be stupid enough not to know that they would withdraw unless

General vulture thought of the letter which was shot into the tower with an arrow that day. His heart moved, but there was no trace on his face.

"Withdraw!"

General Condor ordered him to run down the stairs of the tower with his own soldiers. Roglan's army had captured all the towers in the South and east of the fort, and only the northwest tower had not been attacked. General Condor went down from the top of the tower and put down the suspension bridge.

The party ran quickly towards the bridge connecting the opposite fortress.

They had only destroyed the pontoon before, but left a few boats under the bridge as the back road. At this time, they jumped on the boat and rowed with all their strength to reach the fortress of the wetland, a tributary of the inclined Laixi river. The rebels guarding this fortress saw the general escape and quickly lowered the drawbridge to meet them.

By the time general vulture fled to the second fortress, the battle was coming to an end. Only a few of the rebel troops abandoned by general vulture were left to fight in the corner. The rest of them had thrown down their weapons in despair and raised their hands to surrender.

At this time, blood can be seen everywhere in Blackstone fortress.

The king stepped on the top of the tower of Blackstone fortress with blood.

The wind came with the chill of the end of winter. The king stretched out his hand and pulled out the white salamander flag of the rebel army on the flag platform of the tower.

Let go.

The king watched coldly as the white flag rolled down from the tower and fell into the unquenched fire under it. The fire sped up and devoured the Rebel Flag.

Behind the rose Knight hands holding a new king's flag step forward, came to the king's side.

The king unfolded his flag.

On the background of blood red, the dark golden iron rose is in full bloom.

The king planted the flag firmly on the flag platform of the tower, and the wind from the far north roared to spread out the hunting ground. After a thousand years, the flag finally returned to its old place.

"I will take back all that is occupied in the future."

The king whispered to himself, like an old promise.

………………

The temporary pontoon was reinforced across the Lacey River, and by nightfall, the king was resting in the middle of the meeting of the packed fortress.

It was James who came first to see the king.

James, holding a large pile of thick, well written drawings, excitedly made a comparison with the king to explain his idea of rebuilding the fortress. He also mentioned again what he said in his letter about the military application of the crossbow He got some inspiration from the siege hammer and thought that the siege crossbow could be placed on the fixed angle of the tower, which in turn could be used as defense.After listening for a while, the king felt that this gentleman seemed to have the sense of arming the Fortress into a hedgehog.

Although they are all architects, James and another architect in the king's madman Academy of Sciences chose a different direction.

The king coughed and interrupted Mr. James's words: "one question, sir, were you not a holy church designer before?"

General sheen, who had just stepped into the conference hall, couldn't help laughing at the words: "my God, Mr. James, you used to be a church designer?"

James said: "all buildings are art, the collision of cold rock and wood, they are eternal solidification, different types have different beauty If we can install some more powerful guns, it will be a song of cold and spark. "

General Sheehan

I don't know why, he thought James was reasonable, but he felt as if there was something wrong.

The king laughed. He shook his head and handed James another written letter of appointment: "Sir, now you have a choice."

James turned out that it was a letter of appointment to the research director of the first Academy of Sciences in Legrand.

"I notice you're talking about a choice?" James looked at the Commission and then at the king.

The king looked at him with a smile: "do you think there is a choice other than acceptance?"

"If I refuse..." As he spoke, James folded the letter and put it away.

"Ah You know, you know a lot of military secrets now. In the case of war, I have to guarantee that the military aircraft will not leak, right Said the king with a light smile.

James gave a cold snort, grabbed the drawing on the desk and turned to leave.

When he was going out, he could be heard complaining in a low voice:

"tyrant!"

General sheen took a look at the king.

The king didn't agree: "I'll tell him later that I need a batch of improved siege towers. By the way, I'll send him the necessary gift of our Academy of Sciences."

At this point, the king laughed.

Some time ago, when general Sheehan led the people to blockade the southeast coast, he had contact with several scientists of the madman Academy of Sciences. At this time, when he heard the "gift" from the king, his look became very complicated Your majesty, are you sure it's a gift, not a threat?

However, think about it. If Mr. James, a war ordnance maniac, is thrown to the Holy See, the result will be a frame of fire.

After a correction, general Sheehan began to report to the king.

It's mainly about how to deal with the rebels who were captured by them.

Before the war, the king told the prisoners not to be killed directly.

General Hearn has learned more about their king these days. His majesty despised the false name. He didn't care to achieve the goal by the bloodiest means. He was kind and cruel. Since he ordered six prisoners to die, there must be a reason.

"At night, let them go to the second fortress."

The king crossed his fingers and thought for a moment.

General Sheehan nodded and agreed. He hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Your Majesty, I don't quite understand why you let general Condor go Who are you

The king seemed to have expected that general sheen would have this question. He picked up a letter from the table that had been opened and handed it to general sheen: "look at it."

General Sheehan took the letter in both hands and read it.

After reading only a few lines, general Sheen's face was suddenly brightened. He looked up at the king and said, "are you waiting for this these days?"

The king nodded.

The letter was sent by general Edmund of angar state.

With the help of the Anglican army, count Henry led the left wing army of Legrand to break through the external defense of the kingdom of Balboa, and trapped King Balboa in the castle. General Edmond successfully intercepted the letter that King Balboa wrote to general vulture, asking him to send troops back to break the siege immediately.

This important letter was sent by general Edmund.

The king picked up the letter from King Balboa, put it under the light and said slowly, "we don't have much time. If there is a better way to take back the castle of bomari, why let our soldiers shed more precious blood?"

General Hearn bowed his head to the king and said, "thank you for your kindness, your majesty."

"Are there any officers in the captives familiar with general vulture?" Asked the king.

General Sheehan thought, "one of them, his own soldier, was injured, so he couldn't escape."

The king handed a sealed letter to general Sheehan: "when you release him, let him take this letter to his general If his nickname "vulture" is true, we just need to wait

General sheen understood something. He took the letter and left respectfully.In the room where the king was alone, the king's fingertips touched each other. He was thinking about another thing that the devil had mentioned to him before. When the devil sent him back to the world, he once suggested that he had better try to take it back without causing too much damage to the castle itself. Although this is his original intention, the devil will pay attention to bomari castle, which shows that bomari castle has something else.

When he asked the reason, the devil bowed to him and said, "the castle of the rose family is a precious treasure.".

What does that mean?
