(Two in One Chapter)
The 155th chapter "Prince Son's trump card"
"It's him! He really defeated Gandorf? "
"Almighty God of Light … … This young man actually defeated Master Gandorf … …"
After a moment of silence, the square erupted into an uproar. The nobles, the royal family, the ministers, the rebels, the royalists, etc., all of them stared at the young man standing in the middle of the square and let out an incomparable exclamation.
The old emperor Augustine the 6th's face was filled with excitement as he carefully stared at Du Wei. He tried to open his mouth, but no words came out. Prince Son, on the other hand, had a pleasantly surprised smile on his face. His eyes flashed as he looked at Du Wei with a pleasant surprise.
Who would've thought that the young man he recruited out of appreciation would be able to create such a miracle?
In the end, no one knows what method Du-Wei used to drive Gandalf away. In any case, the world of magic is filled with all kinds of strange things. Most likely, this young man used some kind of strange and mysterious magic, just like the fireball meteor shower he just detonated. It's just that his level and vision are lacking, so he couldn't figure it out. But Gandorf's sorry figure was seen by everyone present.
This is an indisputable fact!
Prince Son just took the opportunity to make his announcement. Straightening his back, he looked at the Crown Prince in the distance and loudly asked: "My dear brother, do you have anything to say now?!"
Although you have tens of thousands of soldiers, although you have the advantage of time and place, and even roped in a considerable number of nobles, but now, I have such a surprising and powerful magician in my hands. A magician who is even more powerful than a Magister! Such a bargaining chip was enough to tilt the scales of victory heavily towards my side!
No one knew what Duwei was thinking, and no one even knew why this young man was in a daze … … Maybe he was too surprised, after all, he had defeated the continent's number one magician in public. Maybe this young man couldn't accept it calmly … … Maybe he was too happy.
But when Du Wei looked around and couldn't summon Saimel anymore, he looked at the crazy crowd and knew that now is not the time to be in a daze.
What the hell … … How come the real Gandorf and the fake Gandorf seem to have some kind of relationship with Saimel?
"Your Majesty!" Raising his hands up high, Du Wei's immature voice immediately suppressed the clamor of the crowd. Everyone immediately shut their mouths and quietly waited to hear the words of this young man who had already been promoted to the top of the continent in everyone's mind.
"Your Majesty!" Du Wei faced the royal podium and shouted. Then he turned to Prince Son and smiled: "Your Highness Prince Son … … I have something to say."
"Du Wei, my friend! My future Grand Duke of the Tulip Family! Now what do you want to say? Just say it! " If it weren't for the fact that Prince Son normally doesn't show his emotions, he would've jumped off the podium and kissed Du Wei right now. What does this kid want to say? Does he want a reward? Give it to him! Even if he wants a mountain of gold and silver, give it to him! Such a powerful Magician at such a young age, he's practically a peerless genius! As long as he can continue to stay in my camp, then what does big brother's mutiny count as?!
"What I want to say is … … It seems that everyone is mistaken about one thing." Letting out a sigh, Du-Wei's eyes were clear as he declared word by word: "I must clarify one more thing. That guy just now is not Master Gandalf! He is not the continent's number one Magician Gandorf at all. He is just a fake. So, I did not defeat Master Gandorf … … I just … … "Speaking up to here, Du Wei hesitated for a moment. How should I say it? Defeated him? Du Wei himself isn't that thick-skinned. He's very clear that his strength is far too lacking compared to that fake guy. If they really fought, his sneak attack would be ineffective. In that case, the other party could easily pinch him to death with a single hand.
So what should he say? Drive him away? Du Wei bitterly smiled in his heart. To be precise, he was "scared away" by Saimel.
After a moment of hesitation, Du Wei can only vaguely say: "The one who just left is just a fake. Although his magic is very strong, he really is not Master Gandorf. I can swear on my character that I witnessed the death of the real Master Gandalf with my own eyes! "
Prince Son's face froze … …
Of course, Du Wei understands the meaning behind this prince's words. If he insists that the green robed mage is Gandorf, then it's the same as raising his own prestige. Of course, it's a great advantage for the royalist faction.
"Your Highness!" Du Wei solemnly said: "The reason why I want to clarify this point again is because Master Gandorf is a person I respect very much! I don't want a person with a high reputation to be labeled as a traitor after his death. "
Prince Son pondered for a moment and decided to temporarily change the topic … … Who cares, whether that guy is real or fake, there's no doubt that his strength is extraordinarily terrifying. He effortlessly defeated a 9th level court magician and a white robed mage from the Magician's Guild.
And Du Wei defeated him!
•
At this moment, the one with the ugliest face is probably the Crown Prince. The prince who was in a good position a moment ago now has a gloomy expression. His eyes flashed with hatred as he stared at Du Wei for a while. Then he suddenly turned to look at the Rowling family's Earl Raymond.
The meaning in his eyes is very clear: Your son! Your son ruined my big plan!!
Earl Raymond was also caught off guard. How could he have imagined that his son would be this powerful? In all honesty, when he kicked his son out of the capital a year ago, he was just a trash that didn't know any martial arts or magic. But now … …
If he knew his son had this kind of ability, then today … … Just now, he loudly announced that Du Wei was kicked out of the family and cut off all ties with him!
Duwei also felt that his father was looking at him, and he also felt that his father's eyes were complicated. At this moment, the Crown Prince's eyes were filled with hatred, his father's eyes were filled with complex emotions, and Prince Son's eyes were filled with surprise and fear. All of a sudden, Du Wei felt a little uncomfortable.
Under the watchful eyes of so many people, this feeling is really not comfortable.
Afterward, Du Wei walked down the steps to Prince Son's stand. Just as Prince Son was about to open his arms to hug Du Wei, Du Wei quietly lowered his head and avoided the hug.
"Your Highness." After thinking for a long time, Du Wei finally came up with a barely reasonable explanation: "I'm afraid I won't be able to help you anymore."
What kind of joke is this … … Du Wei doesn't think he has the ability to stop an army of thousands! Maybe the real Gandorf or that powerful impostor just now has this kind of strength. But I definitely don't!
I can't stop the Crown Prince's coup.
Moreover, even if I have the ability to stop it, I can't do it now!
In essence, Du Wei wants to protect the Rowling family! The reason why he "took the initiative" to cut ties with his father and quit the family was because he wanted to save the country in a roundabout way.
Now that his father is involved in the coup, then he can't stop his father's path … … From this point of view, Du Wei actually wants the Crown Prince's coup to succeed.
Because if the coup fails, then the Rowling family is finished!
He didn't expect to be able to drive away the impostor Gandorf, but this time, he went a little too far. But Du Wei also didn't expect Saimel to have such a magical effect.
Thinking that if the Crown Prince's coup fails, then the Rowling family will be ruined. His beautiful mother and clever little brother will be in danger … … Du Wei's face suddenly turned ugly.
No! I can't make a move!
"Du Wei, what's wrong with you?!" Seeing the change in Du Wei's expression, Prince Son's eyes flashed. Using a secret move, he supported Du Wei. In the eyes of others, this gesture looks like a hug, but only Du Wei knows that Prince Son has good intentions. Sure enough, His Highness whispered into his ear: "What did you say just now? You can't make a move now? What's wrong with you? Did you get hurt in the battle just now? Ah, could it be that after the battle with that powerful opponent, you used up too much of your magic power? "
This secret support move made Du Wei feel a little touched. Suddenly feeling guilty, he didn't dare to look into Prince Son's eyes. Instead, he whispered: "It's nothing, it's just that next … …"
Du Wei sighed in his heart. Although this Prince Son is also using him, but as a leader, he still treats him very well.
Looking at today's situation, it seems the Crown Prince will win for sure. After all, there are still tens of thousands of soldiers surrounding him. When the time comes … … I'll think of a way to save Prince Son during the chaos and save his life. Although my true strength may not be that strong, but I've already "scared" everyone here. If I want to leave, no one will dare to stop me.
Making up his mind, Du Wei became even more embarrassed to meet Prince Son's eyes. Taking a few steps back, he stood behind Prince Son and sighed softly.
Du Wei didn't know if he's feeling relaxed or lonely. Thinking about how he came to this world as the son of a count, but today he's going to have a falling out with his family. Once today's matter is over, I'm afraid he'll have to find a way to escape.
Since he can't stay in Rollin's house anymore, Du Wei doesn't care too much about the businesses in the Rollin Plain. In any case, it's just a matter of making some money. Once today's matter is over, he'll find a way to save Prince Son and leave the capital. Then he'll rush to the Rollin Plain and take Hussain and Nicole (Medusa) with him. In any case, he still has a fleet in his hands. If worst comes to worst, he'll still be a pirate.
The sea is vast and the sky is vast. That kind of life is very leisurely. It's better than being trapped in one whirlpool after another.
•
Although the Crown Prince's face was gloomy and uncertain, but what's done is done. As the saying goes, once an arrow is shot, there is no turning back. There is absolutely no room for retreat. Although Du Wei's miracle was chilling, but no matter what, there is no turning back.
Humph, it's either you die or I live! Either I become king … … or I lose!
Thinking up to here, the Crown Prince unsheathed his sword and pointed it at the sky.
The battle just now is already over. Next up, it's time to rely on the real battle between his troops! With his sword in hand, the Crown Prince looked at the thousands of heavy cavalry around him and the neatly arranged infantry formations around the square. Suddenly, a sense of heroism emerged in his heart!
The capital is still in my hands! The city defense is also in my hands! I still have the sword, tens of thousands of soldiers, and the support of so many nobles! It was still unknown who would emerge victorious in the end!
My little brother, don't be happy too early! When it comes to leading troops, I participated in the war in the Northwest more than 20 years ago. In this aspect … … you're far inferior to me!
Far inferior to me!
Seeing the Crown Prince point his sword at the sky, the thousands of well-trained heavy cavalry immediately became excited. Many of the Knight unsheathed their swords at the same time.
"Everyone, in today's situation, there's no retreat! Advance and live, retreat and die! "The Crown Prince roared:" Listen to my command! "
At this moment, Earl Raymond had already brought his three hundred elite Rowling Household bodyguards with him. Captain Alpha's personal attendant jumped down from the high platform and arrived at the Crown Prince's side.
"Earl Raymond." The Crown Prince glanced at the high-ranking military official who supported him and loudly said: "Put your son's matter aside for now! You wholeheartedly helped me, I won't forget! I will also make a promise to you. When I ascend the throne, I will also make you a Duke! "
After the Crown Prince finished speaking, Earl Raymond nodded and laughed loudly: "Many thanks, Your Majesty!"
After saying that, Earl Raymond also unsheathed his sword, his body bursting with a faint golden Dou Qi. This wasn't because Earl Raymond's strength had already reached the level of a 9th rank Knight, but because the Rowling family's Dou Qi was particularly special. Their Dou Qi was always a faint golden color.
Earl Raymond suddenly took off the robe covering his body, revealing a bright light armor underneath. This armor was the Rowling family's heirloom. On the chest, there was a red magic gem enchanted with a "Haste" spell and a "Bull's Strength" spell. It was also a rarely seen magic enchanted equipment on the continent. On this armor, one could faintly see the scratches of swords. This was the armor worn by the Rowling family's ancestor during the founding of the Augustine Dynasty. After several generations of the Rowling family's descendants used the best materials to repair and modify this armor, the quality of this armor was raised to a new level. Especially the two sides of the armor were enchanted with a Radiant Charm. When Earl Raymond's Dou Qi burst out, it triggered the Radiant Charm on the armor, causing his entire body to be shrouded in a holy light.
At this moment, Earl Raymond's body was covered with his family's faint golden Dou Qi. Although he wasn't Paladin, his appearance was more similar to Paladin than Rodriguez and Hussain.
Earl Raymond's imposing manner was naturally different. He was an old general in the military, so he loudly shouted: "Long live Your Majesty! May the martial arts flourish! "
With this change of address, "Your Highness" became "Your Majesty". Immediately, the three hundred guards behind him shouted in unison: "Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty! "
Suddenly, swords were raised high like a forest. Soon after, the tens of thousands of soldiers surrounding the square heard this shout and loudly responded.
In an instant, the sound of "Long live Your Majesty" resounded throughout the central square of the imperial city.
The Crown Prince's heroic appearance flourished. Under the protection of the numerous Knight, he was like the moon surrounded by stars. Many of the nobles who followed him in the rebellion also brought their own family's guards to join the ranks. Of course, there were also quite a few warriors among these family's guards. In an instant, various colors of Dou Qi burst out. The archers that Marquis Solomon secretly transferred in one after another pointed their arrows at the royal platform below the imperial palace.
"Listen to my command!" Earl Raymond flipped onto a horse, then loudly shouted: "Archers, fire a round! Infantry formation, slowly advance! " Then he glanced at the Crown Prince: "Your Majesty, please have your cavalry move. They don't have any cavalry, so they can only retreat to the imperial palace. We'll take advantage of this opportunity to outflank them. First, we'll take control of the entire imperial city's perimeter!"
The Crown Prince nodded: "Raymond, you're an expert at commanding troops in battle. I'll leave it to you!"
Earl Raymond took a deep breath and looked at the former commander of the imperial city's army, General Jean Claude: "Jean Claude, I'll leave the frontal assault of the imperial city's walls to your city's army! Although the walls are high, the enemy isn't prepared. Moreover, the most elite 3000 soldiers of the imperial army are already gone. As long as your men break through the imperial city's walls, we'll rush in and the situation will be settled! "
Jean Claude nodded. Suddenly, the rebel general's eyes flashed with a trace of ruthlessness. Turning to the Crown Prince, he asked: "Your Highness … … After entering the imperial palace, what should we do? There are many people in the imperial palace, palace attendants, palace nobles … … and … … His Majesty's imperial concubine … … your … … "
"Kill!" The Crown Prince didn't hesitate to make a downward slash with one hand.
General Jean Claude's face froze for a moment before he came to his senses. The Crown Prince's birth mother has already passed away for many years. There's no one left in the imperial palace that he cares about. Besides, he even dared to rebel against his own father and brother. He even dared to raise his butcher's knife. What else does he care about?!
•
The rebel army's formation had already been completed. These soldiers were originally the imperial capital's guards, but they had been secretly transferred from the Frontier Legion by Earl Raymond's military order. These elite soldiers had been transferred over from the Frontier Legion's main force.
With a loud whistle, the archers of the Solomon Family were the first to act. The thousands of archers that were already eyeing the imperial city began to fire in unison. Like a swarm of locusts, the sky was filled with arrows as they flew towards the imperial city's high platform!
Immediately, the guards beside Prince Son picked up their shields. At this moment, Augustine the 6th was already hiding behind the shield and retreating towards the imperial palace. On the other hand, Prince Son only sneered as his body suddenly floated up into the air. This prince who has been learning magic since he was a child finally showed off his outstanding magic prowess. In the blink of an eye, two magic scrolls appeared in his hands. Immediately, a faint magic curtain appeared and deflected the incoming arrows.
On the other hand, Prince Son's fingers moved like lightning as he shot out a "Wild Wind Spell". Immediately, a miniature tornado appeared in the middle of the square. As the tornado rotated rapidly, it neutralized many of the incoming arrows.
It's just that his strength is limited. Although he managed to protect the imperial city's main grandstand, the other grandstands belonging to the royalist faction were inevitably exposed to the rain of arrows. Fortunately, these nobles are also quite strong themselves. Using their Dou Qi, they were able to temporarily lift up the tables and chairs on the grandstand to act as shields.
On top of the palace walls, the imperial guards also picked up their bows to retaliate. However, due to the fact that the imperial guards were already at a disadvantage, the number of archers was even lower. After a round of sparse return fire, they were immediately shot down by the Solomon Family's archers to the point where they couldn't even raise their heads.
But even so, the two groups of loyal imperial guards still held their shields high and rushed out of the palace gates. After leaving hundreds of corpses behind, they still managed to bring the old emperor back to the palace.
"Du Wei!" Prince Son continued to cast several spells until he ran out of mana. Due to his exhaustion, the square was filled with billowing smoke. Landing on top of the stands, Prince Son grabbed onto Du Wei's sleeve and said to the guards behind him: "You guys send the Duke back to the palace! Go quickly! "
The several guards froze for a moment before they realized who the "Duke of the Tulip Family" was.
"Your Highness … …" Just as the guard leader opened his mouth to speak, Prince Son simply cut him off: "Don't worry about me, I naturally have a way … … Go quickly!"
Du Wei's heart was touched, but how can he enter the palace first? He still needs to accompany Prince Son so that he can take him away at any time. Therefore, he quickly said: "No need, I'm fine. You guys retreat first." Looking at the imperial guards below the palace, he hurriedly said: "The palace gates won't be able to hold for long. Go quickly or it will be too late!"
Prince Son faintly smiled. Looking at Du Wei, he suddenly said: "Du Wei, I will remember your kindness today."
At this moment, the Solomon family's archers had finished firing two rounds of arrows. Earl Raymond raised his sword and shouted: "Jean Claude! Tell your men to go!! "
General Jean Claude immediately roared: "Line up! Target the palace walls! Break through the walls and rush into the palace!"
A formation of a thousand men was at the very front. Sparse arrows were shot down from the Imperial City, but these City Guard Army rebels were fully equipped in armor. They formed a phalanx and even used shields to block in front of them. After countless arrows were deflected, the damage to the infantry phalanx was minimal. Unless a few unlucky ones were hit by arrows that slipped through the gaps between the shields and armor, the entire phalanx was undamaged.
Most of the royalist nobles had retreated into the palace. A small number of people were still running for their lives and were hit by stray arrows. Those that didn't die were now lying on the ground screaming in pain. Du Wei and Prince Son were already standing outside the palace. Seeing the enemy's phalanx formation approaching, Prince Son pulled Du Wei into the palace gates and decisively ordered: "Close the gates!"
Although there were still a lot of people wailing outside the palace gates, Prince Son also showed his decisive side and didn't look or hear! The imperial guards slammed the heavy gate of the palace shut. Only after the gate, which was one meter thick and made of huge wood wrapped with iron, was closed did the people in the palace catch their breaths.
Prince Son's face loosened as he smiled: "Du Wei, let's go. I'll take you to see a good show."
Du Wei was stunned for a moment. Looking at the sneer on this prince's face … … What other cards does he have?
Du Wei was dragged up to the top of the palace walls by Prince Son. At this moment, the city guards have already begun their assault on the gates. These soldiers are truly worthy of being called elites from the border defense army. Immediately, they dismantled the platforms below the palace and used some of the giant logs to ram against the city gates.
Looking at the rebel soldiers under their feet smashing the gates with huge logs, the heavy thuds felt like they were smashing into the hearts of the people inside. The palace guards on top of the walls were all in a daze … …
Although these palace guards are well equipped, they still haven't experienced a real war. Even a layman like Duwei could see that this was a critical moment in the defense of the city. The enemy didn't have ladders or other tools to climb the wall, so they were all around the city wall and outside the gate. If they used some rolling wood or stones to smash them down, or kerosene or something like that, they would be able to escape. Using rocks or rocks would definitely cause a lot of damage to the enemy.
However, how could there be anything like rolling logs and boulders in the palace? As for things like fire oil, there's even less of one. Although the Imperial Guards on the walls of the Imperial Palace usually wore bright armor and looked very magical, most of them had never experienced a real battlefield. Only a few experienced ones took out the short crossbows that they carried with them and shot down the walls. However, how could the arrows and crossbows hurt the enemy soldiers when they were holding up shields?
"Your Highness." Du Wei sighed. Although the palace gates are very thick, if they keep ramming them like this, it will soon be broken down. Although they don't have ladders right now, there's still plenty of wood in the capital. Searching through the houses, these elite soldiers will soon be able to create simple ladders and other siege weapons: "Your Highness … … Have the people prepare to dismantle the things in the nearby houses. Tables, chairs, cabinets, beds, etc. Just use whatever you have and smash it down."
Prince Son had more than a dozen guards around him using their shields to protect the prince. But when he heard Du Wei's words, he only smiled and said: "Du Wei, I know what you're talking about … … But if those things are broken, it'll take a lot of effort to get them back. It's too troublesome … … You see, after a while, my brother will be magical again!"
With that, Prince Son suddenly frowned at the guards around him: "Put away your shields. Ai, the enemy archers won't be able to shoot anymore. Now that the city walls are filled with their men, what are you guys still holding up your shields for … … After today's matter is over, I will send you guys to the Northwest for training!"
Looking at the prince's calm appearance, Du Wei's heart became even more bewildered.
Prince Son looked at the sky and suddenly whispered: "It's almost time … …"
At this moment, Du Wei who was standing on top of the palace walls suddenly saw a dazzling magic light soaring into the sky from the west. Like a flare, this light immediately released a gorgeous and holy light … … In an instant, the silver light shined brightly, and one could faintly hear countless voices chanting in unison … …
Then all of a sudden, the earth began to shake. The vibration was very light at first, but it gradually became more violent. Du Wei could hear it clearly and recognized that it was the sound of horse hooves!
All of a sudden, from the west of the city, a huge cloud of dust was kicked up. Many of the rebel soldiers who were waiting at the back suddenly broke out into a commotion. The last line of infantry was quickly thrown into disarray. Someone shouted, "Cavalry! Cavalry is coming!!! "
At the end of the long street, under the dust cloud, several tall and handsome horses could be seen galloping over like lightning, leaving the rest of the army far behind. Riding on these horses, the Knight leaped over the heads of the last few rebel soldiers. With a flash of his sword, a silver light flashed and heads rolled to the ground!
Silver Dou Qi erupted from these Knight's body. Like boiling water splashing snow, these knights cut into the rebel army's formation outside the square. Like a few sharp knives plunging into butter, they were unstoppable! The rest of the army behind them immediately followed up with a killing spree, causing the rear of the rebel army to be utterly defeated!
Du Wei's face was filled with shock. He stood on the city wall and looked into the distance. He noticed that the group of Knight's charging from the west side of the city was not large, only about a few hundred people. However, the most frightening thing was that these hundreds of Knight's all had dou qi!
Hundreds of Knight's who had grasped dou qi! In other words, these hundreds of Knight's all had the strength of at least Rank 4 or above?!
How could an ordinary infantry formation withstand the assault of such a group of experts?
Suddenly, Du Wei's eyes lit up. His eyesight was the sharpest and he could already see the Knight leading the charge …
Dressed in silver armour, his face was solemn, as though he was a cultivator. The silver armour was covered with holy decorations … the most obvious thing was that this Knight and his companions behind him all had two Knight badges on their chests!
In addition to the Knight rank badges issued by the Knight Association … the other badge was the Holy Badge that Du Wei had seen before!
The Holy Order of Shrines?!
