After Becoming The Tyrant - Chapter 174

They finally returned to Bubbas, the city they had abandoned.

Pope theord ordered the holy army of the sea to go north for support. Most of the invaders who ravaged the southeast of Legrand transferred their troops, leaving behind fewer people to guard the occupied city.

On an equally sanguine evening, the rose cavalry and the Koya Archer arrived at bubas.

The holy army did not expect that roglan’s counterattack would come so quickly and fiercely. The holy army who was left to guard here barely resisted the attack for less than half a day, and a city gate in the southwest corner was opened by the citizens who had been waiting for a long time. The rose cavalry galloped in through the open gate.

A silent massacre began. Every section of the city wall, every tower, every occupied house The corpse with fear remains in a pool of blood.

The soldiers of the holy army who lost all their courage failed to escape and were surrounded in the alley. They knelt down and prayed for their lives. They were willing to be prisoners and slaves. Like a hungry dog, the people who chased him raised stones and rushed up and down to kill him. No forgiveness, no pity, how much pain they have suffered, now the pain should be doubled.

The whole city is shrouded in blood.

It has always been shrouded in blood, from the moment the rosary was forced to evacuate, too many people died in the abandoned land. Death and destruction broke the city to pieces, and then reshaped it with hatred. There is something like ice and fire hidden in everyone’s eyes.

“We shouldn’t be here.”

The one who is responsible for staying here is an aristocrat of the abyss alliance of nations. He stands in the city hall of bubas, and hisses as he looks at the armored Knights pouring in.

“Yes, none of you should be here.”

Thrall, who was once the retinue of general sheen and now the general of the rose cavalry, said that his sword pierced the noble’s throat.

The autumn wind howls in the city, passing through the stone walls and arches splashed with blood, and passing over the bodies with fear and regret. Fresh blood washes the city of regaining dignity. Until night fell, the sound of war finally stopped. The thin old man, the haggard woman, and the man with blood in his hand all gathered in the public square of Bubbas.

In the past few months, in order to suppress the resistance in the city, the holy army has hanged all the people who have violated themselves, and all the bodies have been hanging in this square.

People hold up torches and the flames are burning.

The bodies were taken apart one by one. Some of them were husbands who died to protect their wives from adultery, some were young girls who rose up to fight, some were old people who wanted to protect their children Some of the bodies have been weathered, and some of them are as if they were alive. The family members of the dead knelt down beside the dead, with tears streaming down their faces. Some of the dead had no family, and their families hung on the wooden frame with him. They were put together and everyone was crying for them.

Finally, all the bodies were neatly placed in the square, and the survivors surrounded all the unfortunate dead people, holding up their torches as if they were candles to light up the next life.

A Koya shooter plucked the strings and sang a sad funeral song.

It’s the oldest funeral song that belongs to Legrand. It’s the funeral song that people sang for the knights who founded Legrand when they died.

It’s a funeral.

There is no priest.

They don’t need priests, they don’t need gods.

With the minstrels, the mourners sang the funeral song in a low voice, and the voices gathered together. The city, which was sharpened by hatred and anger, showed its scars in the dark night. The funeral song was carried to the gate by the evening wind.

Sal stood outside the city gate, listening to the funeral song coming from the city. He held a torch.

The torch light is limited, the head hanging on the city gate can only vaguely see a fuzzy outline. After the holy army captured the city of Bubbas, it didn’t take it down. It seemed that it was more conducive to attack rogram by hanging it here.

Sal wanted to move on.

Someone pressed him on the shoulder.

“I knew you would come here.”

The leader of Koya’s Archer raised his head and looked at the head hanging on the gate.

What Sal wanted to say, chief Koya interrupted him.

“Don’t let his sacrifice be in vain.” The Koya leader’s voice was low. He handed something in his hand to sal. “They said it was his.”

Sal catches it subconsciously, and the light of the fire clears what Koya chief gives him – a sword.

He is too familiar with the sword.

At the beginning, it touched the shoulder of the Golden Knight. From then on, it accompanied the knight to battle. Until someone finally cut off the knight’s head with it.

Sal almost wanted to put it away, and almost wanted to hold it tightly.

He stood in the same place, the wind through the cold and sad night, the leader of Keya walked away alone in the night.

The next day the sun rose, shining on the city through the night. Rose cavalry set out from the gate to recover the second city. The first light of morning fell on the pale skeleton at the gate. The nail runs through the skull’s forehead, and the skull’s eye socket is black, watching the Knights go away.Sal, we’re going to do

Protect the Knights of the world.

…………………………

“The strength of the sea holy army in the southeast is tightening, and they begin to retreat.” The housekeeper reported to the king the news that the crows had sent back. “The speed of the recovery of the lost land by the rosary and Keya Archer is faster than we expected. It seems that the holy army in the southeast intends to stick to kosiya only

The king read the reports from the officers at the bottom about the affairs of the army and listened to the reports from the chief of the interior. He asked several questions from time to time.

“That’s good news.”

The housekeeper hoped that the victory report from the southeast would make the king a little easier.

The king briefly wrote down a few requirements in a report on the deployment of the garrison, then raised his head: “that’s good news.”

But you don’t look so relaxed.

Thought the housekeeper.

The king looked at him and seemed to know what he was thinking: “we won because the pain of this country is borne by too many people It’s not an easy victory

Sunlight came through the window and fell on the king’s crown, which cast a shadow on his hair. The outline of his side face was blurred in the light, the dust was flying in the light, and the king was sitting there like a bronze statue washed away by the river of time. The weight of the whole empire was on his shoulders, from the past to the present to the future.

Fate was too cruel to him when he saw the children growing up.

Heavy responsibility and mission from the first second of his birth, has been accompanied by his death, never easy. The monarch is walking on a road full of thorns. All the Knights around him die. He will never be free.

Because he was born king.

“Cheer up our soldiers. They’re going to besiege the city soon.”

Said the king.

He had General John cut off the main grain route from port Pluto to to county Collins. The Knights Templars can’t support Colin County for a long time because of its grain reserves and plunder of nearby towns and villages. After gathering with the elite of the holy army on the sea, west old won’t stay in Colin County for a long time, so he will turn around and attack Jolin county.

Although the situation began to move in the direction of Legrand’s favor, it also put new problems in front of the king.

After West olde gathered the forces scattered in the southeast, although roglan was able to recover the lost territory, his real military main force would usher in an unprecedented siege. Once Jolin county is conquered and the king’s army breaks up, the situation will turn over again.

For the king’s army, the war turned to the defensive stage.

This time, they will meet the besieged city of the holy army approaching 100000 troops.

When the king’s military designers tried their best to arm the military castle of Jolin to the teeth under the leadership of James, a white hawk flew from the warship on the abyss sea to the site of the Knights Templar.

On the channel of the abyss, where the chill is rising, a fleet arrives at Swan harbor in herid City, which is the entrance of DOMA River, the most important river in Legrand.

There are three sacred armies: the maritime sacred army, the Holy Land sacred army and the border sacred army.

The first two holy armies had already joined the battlefield, but the frontier holy army had not arrived because of the distance. However, it seems that the Holy Lord’s real blessing, the frontier holy army finally arrived in Legrand before the arrival of winter, the abyss channel current and the turning of the gale.

The warship did not stop at Swan port for more time, but drove directly from the sea entrance and went forward along the tributary of DOMA river. Different from the warships of the sea holy army and the holy army, the warships of the border holy army are not so tall and convenient. The ship was full of soldiers and some supplies.

Alchemists have been destroyed together with the throne, and Legrand no longer has the power to block the water passage at the entrance of the doma river.

That’s what theold is waiting for.

The tide surged and the frontier holy army joined the battlefield.

……………………

Outside of Jolin.

Ilinolema, looking up at the castle, which was armed and put on defense ahead of time. She watched the king’s flag with the rosary badge flutter on the wall.

The gate opened and the king rode out of the city quickly.

“Won’t you stay?”

Asked the king in a low voice, looking at Elinor.

Her child is not good at asking, just like his father.

Eleanor thought, smiling.

“I’m the queen of Keya. I haven’t been back for so many years. I should go and see them.” She said gently, looking at the growing face of the king, with a little green, but the majesty of the king covered it well.

She moved her hand, subconsciously trying to reach for his face, and then restrained herself.

“Don’t worry, I want to see you become the king of the world.”

With a smile, Eleanor raised her iron gloved right hand and patted the king on the shoulder.”You will, won’t you?”

“There will be that day.”

The king promised.

The queen began to laugh, and with master Keya, she turned her horse and headed southeast.

, in her armor, she wrapped herself up so tightly that she did not even dare to approach the king, for fear that he could perceive the bloody smell of perfume.

The king stood silent outside the gate and watched his mother go away.
