Conquest

    Chapter 425—Supplementary Days (2)

    "I am alive!!"Garcia suddenly screamed and screamed at the old Prime Minister: "I want to live!!!"

    At such a close distance, Garcia's spit even sprayed on the face of the old Prime Minister.

    The old Prime Minister immediately screamed after a glimpse: "No! Majesty Now we must not escape! ! ”

    "Can't escape? Is it sitting here waiting? When the rebels hit here, they broke through the Imperial Palace gate and went to the hall. Then they slapped my head like slaughtering cattle and sheep. ! ”

    Garcia screamed and shivered like a leaf in the cold wind.

    The old Prime Minister understands that this young emperor has really collapsed and he is frightened!

    "No."

    The old man also stood up. He stopped in front of the emperor and said quickly: "Your Majesty! Can't go! You are the king of the empire! If you leave here now, the empire will have no emperor, and there will be no hope! ! ”

    Yes We still have hope! Don't you hear the movement outside! Those rebels have entered the city! ! ”

    Majesty

    "They are outside! I am sitting here and can hear their voices! They are cheering, they are killing here, they are going to kill me, I have to cut my head! I want to hang my body on the gate! ”

    Majesty

    "I can smell their taste! You know what? I can smell it! I can smell it! ! ”

    The young emperor, the voice has been a bit crazy.

    The old Prime Minister took a deep breath and stared at Garcia. Suddenly, he gritted his teeth and raised his hand.

    Pa

    A crisp, slamming in the big hall, even with a clear echo.

    Garcia seemed to be stunned. He raised his hand and licked his cheek, and looked at the old courtier in front of him, as if after a while, he said: "You…you……Did you actually hit me? ”

    MajestyThe old Prime Minister shouted: "I offend your guilt and you can punish me in the future. But now, I can't leave you one step away from the Imperial Palace! I know that you are scared now, I can tell you that all of us are scared! But please don't forget your identity! You are the emperor of the Byzantine Empire and the king of the Empire! The glory of the Krenma family is pinned on you! If you leave here today, the glory of the Krenma family's millennium will vanish! What you have lost is not the glory of you alone, but the glory of your surname 'Krenma'! All your ancestors, the emperors of all ages will be shamed for this! The Krenma royal family, even the most difficult moment ever encountered in history, has never been done by an emperor. Never, no, an emperor, has escaped Osgiliath! If you do this today, then not only the empire but also the glory of the entire royal family will be crushed in your hands! ! ”

    The old Prime Minister grabbed the emperor's sleeve and pointed at the direction of the door: "It's outside, and the loyal loyal soldiers are fighting for you!" They have not given up yet! ! In the city of Imperial Capital, there are countless loyalists who are dying the last drop of blood for this empire! ! If you leave, can you afford this empire! Responsible for your ancestors of all ages, worthy of those who are loyal to you! ”

    The young emperor was there.

    Garcia is not really the kind of weak person, but the blow of this defeat has defeated his confidence. He also once made enough efforts for this empire, in the Rhodelia Cavalry Army, also once experienced the front line of war, and soldiers share weal and woe, he is not a timid person, just after all this, in the face of the final failure, his confidence collapsed, It is no longer possible to make the right judgment.

    When the old and the young were looking at each other, the door of the main hall was suddenly knocked open again. With the sound of the collision of the armor, a tall and majestic figure strode in.

    General Spence looked like a blue-brown, and the sword was slowly coming over. In less than ten steps from the two, one kneeped down and the sword was inserted on the ground in front of him.

    General Spence went down deeply: "Your Majesty!"

    The Garcia emperor suddenly used a trembling voice: "Spence! I will let you gather horses, gather cavalry and protect me to the port. Are your people ready? ”

    Spence didn't talk, his eyes swept over the old Prime Minister standing on the side, and finally fell on the sword edge in front of him.

    On the sword edge, it is clearly visible full of blood.

    MajestyGeneral Spence's voice is very stunned: "All the horses in the Imperial Palace, I have all gathered together, together with all the cavalry I brought, have been assembled…"

    Garcia's eyes were obviously shaken, and his voice shook again: "Okay, well, you immediately ordered me to let them line up outside…Take me to the pier, we, go on board…Going out to sea…"

    At the end of the day, the young emperor did not even dare to look up to contact the eyes of the old Prime Minister.

    Just when Salen Bonelli’s eyes were full of despair…

    "I am sorry, my majesty, I can't execute your order."

    General Spence suddenly looked up and met the emperor's eyes: "I can't do it."

    Garcia's eyes suddenly shrank: "You, what are you talking about?"

    "The more than 500 cavalry I brought, and the horses that were all gathered together in the Imperial Palace, all together, a total of 671 horses…It has all been killed now! ”Spence's voice, at this moment, turned out to be surprisingly calm. He looked at the Garcia emperor: "Your Majesty, I personally ordered, I am sorry, I took your name, I let the soldiers slaughter all the horses." Now! Now inside and outside the Imperial Palace, you can't find a living horse anymore! ”

    Garcia screamed, and the wolverine took a few steps back and stared at General Spence: "You, what are you talking about?" You actually defy my orders! Spence! Spence! ! ! ”

    Spence slowly stood up: "Your Majesty, slaughter all the horses, at this moment all the soldiers have given up the choice to escape!" We will stick to the Imperial Palace and live together with the Empire! And you…Your Majesty, please, join us! ”

    thump!

    The emperor's body fell, and he sat on the ground with awkwardness.

    Spence seemed to suddenly let go of all the hesitations and concerns in his heart. The General turned around and actually stopped looking at the emperor on the ground and strode away from the door of the main hall.

    When he reached the door, Spence turned back and looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, if the enemy came into the imperial city, there is only one possibility – stepping on my body! This is the only thing I can guarantee you. Please forgive me for violating your order, but this is my last loyalty to Spence. ”

    After that, the General slowly withdrew from the door of the main hall.

    The old Prime Minister suddenly took a long sigh of relief. His eyes looked at the door in a complicated way and looked at the emperor sitting on the ground.

    The old man bent over and picked up his sword from the ground. He was close at hand, and he did not even reach out to help the emperor sitting on the ground.

    Majesty

    The old Prime Minister gently patted his clothes, bounced off the dust on his knees, and then wiped the blood on the sword edge with his sleeves. He looked at the emperor and his tone seemed to be indifferent: "There is nothing to worry about now." . Regardless of the final outcome, you can now have at least one choice…"

    "Choose, do I still have a choice?"Garcia's voice seemed to calm down, with sneer and mockery.

    "Yes, choose."The old Prime Minister nodded and stared at Garcia's eyes: "At least, at this last moment, you can choose to be glorious and choose to stand proudly."

    After that, the old Prime Minister no longer looked at the emperor, holding a sword in his hand and turned and strode away.

    In the hall, suddenly it became dead and quiet.

    Garcia clearly heard his breathing, even his own heartbeat. He sat on the ground and didn't know how long it was. At this moment, it seems that he has completely stopped.

“……Do I really have a choice? ”

    The young emperor suddenly turned back and looked at the corner: "If I, command you, protect me from the Imperial Palace, leave Osgiliath, I am ordering you to protect me from going to the sea?"

    In the corner, the silent middle-aged man seems to step out of the darkness: "I am sorry, my Majesty, I will reject your order. I am willing to die for you, but it is by no means a way to help you escape. If the rebels really get here, I won't let anyone hurt you until I drain the last drop of blood. Other than that…Sorry, I will not leave! ”

    Garcia listened and suddenly laughed, his laughter was a bit crazy.

    "Ha ha ha ha! A good choice! A good choice! You all have choices, only I have no choice! What choices did you leave for me? You only choose my decision for me! Good! You are all warriors, is it only me who is a coward? ! ! ”

    Outside the palace, the ministers of aristocrat have been largely dissipated. Some of them have been waiting for the news of the emperor. They have disappeared from the chaos, and some are the old Prime Minister and General Spence who have been removed from the main hall. Drive away.

    The old Prime Minister lost to these people is very simple: "If you are afraid of death, find a place to escape and hide! If you still have a little courage and dignity, take the weapon and prepare for the final loyalty of the empire. ”

    Obviously, not everyone in this world has the courage and dignity to face death.

    The aristocrat ministers have ran away at least half of the time. The rest of these people may not all be loyal to everyone. Some people are just in this situation, and there is nowhere else to escape. No. Other places can be hidden.

    Spence has not continued to waste time here. He has left the entrance of the main hall to reorganize his armaments and seize the last time to arrange defense.

    The soldiers ran back and forth, dismantling the buildings in many palaces in the Imperial Palace, the door panels, tables and chairs, and all the wood that could be used were dismantled. The Imperial Palace's arsenal has been opened, and some of the remaining weapons stored have been moved out. Even the attendants in the court have been armed, although I don't know how much these guys can use when the war comes, but in At this time, it is good to have more than half of the power.

    But everyone is still scared, because the young emperor in the palace still has no appearance.

    The strong bloody suffocation is in the air, not human blood, but horse blood!

    Everyone knows that all the horses have been slaughtered. Without the horses, the rebels have entered the city. Without knowing where around the Imperial Palace, no one has the courage to escape.

    There are squadrons everywhere in the city. Without horses, there is no possibility of running away.

    Even Spence has ordered the door of the Imperial Palace to be blocked.

    Finally, just outside the palace, many aristocrat ministers were desperate, behind them, the heavy temple door opened.

    The young emperor finally appeared.

    Although his face is still gray, although his eyes are still somewhat fearful, he finally appeared.

    The Emperor’s hand did not hold the scepter, but a sharp sword. His body was no longer the gorgeous and powerless robes, but a new and bright armor.

    Despite this, when the emperor appeared on the steps of the palace, the following people still gave a cheer.

    Even the defenders in the distance, the personal guard, the Imperial Guard, also saw their emperor standing at the door of the main hall, wielding sword armor.

    The soldiers raised their weapons, screaming and greeted the emperor with a sword.

    Although the old Prime Minister was still gloomy, but his eyes finally got a little more lively, he immediately came over and stood under the emperor's front step and vomited: "Your Majesty, you made a correct decision."

    "I hope it is correct."

    Garcia was expressionless and answered coldly.

    The morning light has gradually become clear. At this moment, in the direction of the distant city gate, a loud horn sounds far and wide. Although the sound is intermittent due to the wind, it is clearly in everyone's ear!

    The soldiers in the Imperial Palace castle, everyone can hear the horn, can not help but look at the direction of the horn.

    Spence was even more excited, and he quickly jumped onto the wall: "It is the Arc de Triomphe! The direction of the Arc de Triomphe, the Triumph! ! It is Adrick! It must be him! He is telling us that they are still there! They are there! ! ”

    He immediately turned back and shouted: "Blow the number! Blow the number to respond to them! Tell them with the number, we are here! It’s not dead! ! ”

    Just this morning, on this cold winter morning. Osgiliath, the ancient capital of the millennium, the first city in the mainland, this city that never ceases to fall, the gates of the city are broken by the rebels, the city is full of fire and chaos, the rebels enter the city, the empire is the end of the day.

    In the sky above the city, there is a mighty and majestic victory triumph horn.

    The last garrison of the empire, under the gates of the city, in the Imperial Palace, blew the horn at the same time, so that the sound of the horn condensed in the sky above the city!

    "The emperor does not seem to be running."

    At the end of a secluded street in the city, where the chaos has not spread, standing on the roof of a small building, a young woman sighs softly, and her side is a tall purple-haired figure. But silent, looking at the direction of the gate of the city gate.

    At the harbour terminal, a large ship with the Atlantis flag has sailed off the coast. In one of the largest warships, the beard-studded Gislente stood on the bridge and stared quietly at the Osgiliath. The endless sound of the sound rang in the ear, blending with the sound of the sea breeze.

    "Don't wait, Gislent."

    Behind Gislent, the handsome Atlantis young man sighed softly: "It seems that their emperor will not escape here. Obviously, these Byzantine people are more courageous than we think. ”

    Gislen turned and smiled and looked at the young man behind him: "His Royal Highness, although somewhat disappointed, I have to say that I admire these Byzantine people. Now,It is time for us to debut. ”

    History is like a big river of hatefulness. When you think that the wind is calm, you suddenly pick up some unexpected waves.

    In the winter of this year, on this night, everything that happened in Osgiliath seemed to introduce a new direction that was already unknowingly.

    And the impact of this unexpected "turn" is far more than the people in the vortex center of Osgiliath…

    At this moment, it is still unknown. The arrival of this wave, the most influential, is not the imperial empire or emperor or minister who are in the whirlpool.

    The real impact is far-reaching, but it is a small role in the North that is not yet officially on the stage.

    Shaar fell on the horse's back, pressed down his body tightly, and tried to stick his body on the horse's back. The wind whizzing past his ears, the hooves around him and his back, the knights screamed nervously. I came by my side.

    The horse team galloped on the road in the wilderness plain and galloped north.

    In his heart, it seems that there is something like a wild grass that grows wildly!

    Time Time Time

    On the way to the north, Shaar is still on horseback, but his heart seems to have flown thousands of miles and flew to Denzel City.

    "Osgiliath City is broken, how is Father so bad luck! Shouldn’t this damn city never fall? ! ”Shaar cursed God in his heart.

    All the original plans have been disrupted!

    He knew very well how much the situation of Osgiliath had on his little side warrior! Whether the empire can survive for his so-called "the last empire resistance in the north" is a matter of life!

    Regardless of the plan I made before, after getting this news, at least the obvious fact is that all the plans must be advanced!

    "Father's army has not been reorganized yet! Arms are not well stocked! Even the winter clothes are not all enough…There is food, morale, weapon, military expenses…Everything is not ready…"Shaar listened to the wind whistling by his ear, and his heart cursed cursingly: "How can you make a bang, change it!"

    "Little Shaar, I have a hunch."The voice of Dora came from the depths of my mind.

    "What?"

    "No matter how you curse, you can't change a fact."Dora's voice has some taunting taste: "You must go to the stage in advance, and go to the stage in advance!"
