Rise In Calradia - Chapter 400: : Rhodok Civil War (5)

“I’ve been waiting for this moment for days, although I don’t want to see it.”

The old sergeant tightly clenched the spear in his hand and looked at the army on the other side of the river that was not allowed to gather. His body trembled slightly, and his emotions were mixed with excitement and worry.

“What’s your name? Sergeant.”

When the sergeant was looking at his origin, a question suddenly appeared behind him.

“Lando, my lord.” He turned around while answering, thinking that it was some lord from the south who was checking the situation before the battle. When he took it, when he turned around, he saw a man dressed in delicate plate armor. The man in the crowned helmet is looking at himself.

“Ah, may the Lord bless you with good health and long life, Your Majesty, victory is with us.”

The old sergeant recognized their monarch at first sight, even though he had never seen the king, and he immediately knelt down in the highest respect for King Griffith.

“Get up, sergeant, you look very old and battle-hardened, I heard that you stayed here to command the troops until I came, and even the senators who came to listen to your advice, but I don’t seem to have seen it before. I have never heard of you, but I have never heard of your name.” King Griffith admired the veteran soldier who was respected among the local defenders, but he was also a little curious about the identity of the other party. There are not many sergeants in Jerkala, especially those veteran sergeants, who have seen one or two times, but he doesn’t know anything about this old man who may be older than himself.

“Ah, Your Majesty, it’s an honor for you to ask. But you don’t have to have any doubts. Although I have been a soldier for almost thirty years, I did serve in your army only this year.” He got up with a solemn expression: “I’m from Serendil, but I went out to work when I was eighteen years old. After a few years, I became a mercenary. I worked in a small mercenary group called the Snake Group. For more than ten years, I was the deputy commander. Later, our regiment was defeated and disbanded in the war, and I returned to Rhodok. First, I served as a sergeant at Fort Gruenward, and then the fortress was blown up by Byron’s dragon fire. After that, I went back to my hometown to train new recruits, and then Von Byron occupied Serendil. After that, I was hired by Count Mateas as an instructor, but that **** took advantage of it and occupied Veluga. After that… I rested for a while with the money I saved in the past, bought a house, bought land, and begged a woman, so that she had a big belly, the earthquake destroyed our whole family, and my wife and children were gone, so I started again. Here comes the enlistment.” Landau showed a bitter smile, and King Griffith also put his hand on his shoulder.

“There are always misfortunes in life. Whether it is a king or a soldier, it is hard to escape the tricks of fate, sergeant. I hope this time you can have good luck and survive, and we will share the glory.”

Such was King Griffith, among the monarchs of Calradia, he was the most calm and gentle, and it was for this reason that his subjects and soldiers loved him so much. Maybe the king couldn’t make them all nobles, but he was close enough to the commoners.

“I’m old, but I’m willing to die for you, Your Majesty.” The veteran bowed his head deeply, and the king saluted, then walked to the middle of the wall and looked at the few knights approaching on horses and holding white flags. It can be seen from the coat of arms on his body that it is Lord Kesto and several count lords represented by Count Mateas.

“So, Kesto, do you have anything to say now? Surrender? Or make me surrender ridiculously?”

The king stood on the wall and shouted to the false king under the wall.

“Give up what was not yours, Griffith, the Kingdom Council has deposed you, and now I, Lord Kestor, are the rightful king of Rhodok! Give up your rights and lands, and stand trial by the Council, I Guarantee your life and your property can safely leave Calradia!” Lord Kesto also responded loudly, but he also knew that Griffith would not surrender, he said this mainly to boost morale, and by the way to strike opponent’s morale. “Soldiers and militiamen, your true king is back, you don’t have to sacrifice for the man who cost Rhodok his land and the lives of his brave warriors, and bring disaster to him, stand by me, and I promise you will still be able to Live like you used to, and you won’t face any trial for serving Griffith!” He declared his legitimacy to the soldiers on the fence, but apparently received no effective response other than a few spit.

“Your rhetoric is of no use to my warriors, Kesto, your tongue is not as useful as you think it is, and people support you only because of your weakness and powerlessness. Your ridiculous rhetoric will not convince me, you How many people have the so-called parliament recognized? If you are willing to surrender, I can save you from prison and let you and your family die in peace in the country manor.” The king saw that the soldiers were loyal to himself. , then laughed at Kesto with confidence, and both sides were ready to fight, just like a speech in parliament, they would have a fight with each other before the war.

But at this time, Count Matt Ass stood up. He knew that this was meaningless. Negotiation was negotiation. There was no need for the soldiers on both sides to see their leaders scolding each other. It would be disgraceful to win, and it would affect the troops if they lost. morale.

“Okay, Your Majesty, and Lord Griffith, we don’t have to. Our condition is simple, we don’t need the Rhodoks to fight a war that will only bring blood and tears, you just need to agree to give up the throne and Territory, swear not to return to Calradia, we promise to let you go safely, with your possessions, your entourage, and whoever is willing to follow you, and even all the ships you need in the port. In Barrion or In other lands overseas, you can still spend your old age in peace with your son, because of the throne, haven’t you seen him for a long time?”

The sincerity of Earl Mateas made the two relax a little and were no longer prepared for a heated debate, but there was no doubt that King Griffith did not intend to agree to this barely generous defeat agreement.

“You know me, Mateas, you know what I will do, and you don’t have to say anything.” The king stood on a high place, under the sunlight, as majestic and noble as a statue of a saint.

“But I also understand you~www.mtlnovel.com~ I admit my fault, but I want to get through the disaster and defeat the enemy on our own, not on this loser who wants to stir up strife for the throne. But I— —King Griffith of Rhodok, the rightful monarch of Rhodok, still willing to swear here, in the name of the Lord, I hereby pardon you for your wicked crimes, and promise not to deprive you of your original titles after the battle is over and territory, to make amends for my wrongs. But as for the throne, do it, only sword and fire can take it from me! May the Lord bless this land that is about to shed blood, may we still stand alive after the **** battle it’s here.”

After speaking, the king turned around, and the crossbowmen also raised their heavy crossbows and shot a few arrows under the wall, indicating that the negotiations had broken down.

“Then let’s do it.”

Lord Kestor was not surprised, just nodded and raised his right hand.

Afterwards, the white flag fell and the green flag fluttered. Accompanied by the resounding sound of the horn, the neatly lined coalition troops took off and began to advance towards the wall.
