king.

"Bang!"

There was a loud noise, and the quality of the ladder broke directly under the impact of the boulder.

"what!"

"what!"

There were bursts of screams, one after another.

The soldiers on the ladder fell and hit the soldiers below the city, and many unlucky ones went to the underworld together.

The worst thing is that those who are not dead, not only have to suffer in pain, but also enjoy a golden feast.

The tragic siege battle did not shake the determination of the rebels to attack the city.

"Remove our people first, and replace them with the Warriors Battalion.

Tell them that their wives, children, and children will all be sacrificed if they fail to take the city of Odesborg! "

The Lord of Darkness said indifferently.

He has no experience in fighting with soldiers, but he is professional in manipulating people's hearts.

Just for the sake of war, it is enough to take away the young and strong. The old, young, women and children are completely a burden, which will only increase the difficulty of logistics and slow down the marching speed.

In the blink of an eye, the young man who had only trained for a few days was pushed onto the battlefield.

After changing a group of people, the pressure on the defenders immediately dropped significantly.The originally dangerous city wall suddenly turned from danger to safety.

However, Viscount Petrovich, who was guarding the city, was not at all happy at the moment.The enemy used cannon fodder troops to fight a war of attrition, and the city of Odesborg couldn't stand the attrition at all.

Everything was caused by a strategic misjudgment. Before that, he had sent troops to suppress the rebellion.Unexpectedly, they met the main force of the rebel army, and the army collapsed halfway.

Viscount Petrovic lost a large number of troops before the defense of Aldersburg started, and the military strength defending the city is not strong now.

One of the important reasons why the Nether Sect chose Aldesburg to attack them is that they are soft persimmons.

For the fledgling rebels, victory is very important.Only continuous victories can unite people's hearts.

"The county guard, the enemies are all lunatics. They rushed forward recklessly, and the supplies for the city defense were consumed very quickly.

If this continues, I'm afraid..."

Before the middle-aged officer finished speaking, Viscount Petrovich scolded angrily: "There is no fear!
In any case, Aldersburg must be held!
If the strategic materials for defending the city are insufficient, then demolish the house.Even if you try your best not to want the Lord's Mansion, you can't let the city fall! "

Strong-willed expressions of determination are not inspiring.

It's too late. If we had realized this earlier and invested more resources in the military, we wouldn't have fallen to the present situation.

The fierce battle continued, and the reinforcements that Viscount Petrovich had hoped for never arrived.

To be exact, none of his appeal letters could be sent out.

The Nether Cultists hidden in the city destroyed the magic circle of communication in advance, and the messenger was besieged and killed by the cult masters just after leaving the city.

At midnight, the battle continued.Under the continuous impact of the rebel army, the originally strong city wall has become precarious at this moment.

In order to block the rebels, the city gate was sealed during the morning battle.

The morale of the defenseless defenders was on the verge of collapse.

If it wasn't for Viscount Petrovich who personally went to the front to command and kept drawing cakes to boost the morale of his subordinates, the morale of the army would have collapsed long ago.

Dragging his tired body, Viscount Petrovich continued to patrol the city defense.Now he didn't dare to rest at all, lest he would hear the news of the city's destruction when he woke up.

"Sheriff, something is wrong!

A large number of undead creatures suddenly appeared in the city, killing wantonly..."

Before the orderly could finish his sentence, a bone spur was planted behind him, and he fell to the ground and died.

Immediately afterwards, a group of undead creatures came to kill them.The guards hurried forward to intercept, and the two sides quickly fought together.

The old man who was guarding Viscount Petrovich immediately said: "The situation is not good, Petrovich should directly arrange the way out!"

In the era of the family, the city can be destroyed, but the family cannot be destroyed.

"Third uncle, as the county guard, I must live and die with the city, and now I don't need guards here.

You take the younger generation of your family and leave from the secret path!
If you have a chance to keep your territory, then you should tell your younger generations to be a warning and not to waste your armaments! "

Viscount Petrovich said with a bitter face.

Thinking back to my past life as a luxury, I often spent a lot of money to fight for face in the aristocratic circle.

If the money was spent on armaments, why would there be the embarrassment it is in today.

In fact, Viscount Petrovich was not the only one who was obsessed with money and money, the whole family lived a life of extravagance.

The daily expenses of the family are several times the military expenses.What really cost a lot of money to build is the small guard in front of us.

It is enough to maintain the rule and protect their safety in normal times.Up to now, at most, they are covering the children of the younger generation to break through and leave.

After a little hesitation, the old man nodded slowly.After looking at Viscount Petrovich a few more times, he turned and left.

"Remain rational in times of crisis", this is one of the survival rules of the nobility.

If the family glory wants to continue, someone must make sacrifices for it.

The sacrifice could be a child of an ordinary family, or it could be the patriarch, Viscount Petrovich, it all depends on the needs of reality.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

……

After the loud noise, the west wall collapsed, and the rebels poured into the city like a tide.

A ray of morning light at dawn sprinkled on the earth, vicissitudes everywhere, reflecting the killings all over the city, making the atmosphere extraordinarily permeating.

"kill!"

With a few guards, he launched the last charge in his life. Viscount Petrovich performed exceptionally bravely.

I don't know when his strength has risen to a higher level, but all this is in vain.

Glancing at the rising sun, Viscount Petrovic fell, and the offensive and defensive battle of Aldersburg also came to an end.

As the victor, the Lord of Darkness is busy commanding the congregation to set up an altar.

Without enough time to accumulate, it is impossible to overthrow the rule of the nobility without taking shortcuts.

A city full of slaughter is the best blood food.While the blood is still cold and the soul is not scattered, it is best to sacrifice to the evil gods enshrined in the religion.

The altar soon appeared in the center of the city, and the congregants who had made great contributions in the uprising went to the front desk one after another, waiting for the feedback of the power of the evil god.

However, none of the senior members of the Nether Sect went up, and all of them stared at the sacrificial scene from a distance below.

If you observe carefully, you will find a trace of pity in someone's eyes.

Under the auspices of the sacrificial priest, countless sacrifices were offered, and together with the blood food that filled the city, a phantom quickly appeared in the sky.

Except for the Lord of Darkness, everyone closed their eyes one after another, not daring to look directly at the evil god.

They are all lessons learned from the past. The consequence of looking directly at the evil god is to be assimilated by the evil god.

Without any extra words, after the evil god and the Lord of Darkness exchanged a tacit understanding, they began to collect sacrifices from the whole city.

Immediately afterwards, a force descended from the sky, covering all the congregants in front of the altar, and the power feedback ceremony began.

The Lord of Darkness frowned slightly. Compared with the previous priests, this wave of feedback was stronger.

Correspondingly, the congregation who carry the power of the evil god will have to pay a higher price.

The souls of some congregants who are not firm enough have begun to twist, and their whole people are involuntarily moving closer to the evil god.

"Just, enough!
These people are still useful, and I can’t give them to you for the time being!”

The Lord of Darkness transmitted the voice with a hoarse voice.

Obviously, the relationship between the two is not simply a believer and a god.

A similar combination has not only appeared once on the continent of Aslante.

Everything is unavoidable, and the evil god also wants to use his followers, but those who believe in him are a group of perverts.

Abnormalities can appear in religion, but not all of them are abnormal. At least the person at the helm must have a brain.

Xu Ying frowned slightly, and quickly returned to normal.

He can still tell the difference between a full meal and a full meal.

"Can!
But follow-up actions must be quick, a war is breaking out in the abyss, I need a lot of blood food! "

After speaking, the evil god disappeared directly into the sky.Disappearing with the phantom, there are still corpses all over the city.

However, the corpses under the city walls filled with golden juice are exceptions. Obviously, the evil gods enshrined by the Nether Sect are also obsessed with cleanliness, and not all garbage is collected.

A short conversation, but the amount of information released is not small.

The Nether Sect dared to risk the displeasure of the world and recruited a group of cult organizations to cause chaos when they were completely at a disadvantage. The core reason was all in the dialogue.

……

With the departure of the survivors, the news of the fall of Oldsburg also reached the ears of Governor Ginsburg.

There were rebels all over the province, and just after the order to suppress them was issued, they received the sad news that a county had completely fallen. The Marquis of Ginsburg turned from anger to worry.

In normal times, it is nothing to lose a county with little strategic value, but it is different now.

The five-nation alliance is competing with each other. Since the establishment of the alliance, the Kingdom of Hesse has always regarded itself as the second largest country in the alliance.

Falling from second place to the bottom, not only the loss of face, but also the right to speak in the league.

As the party that caused all this, how could it end well.

The dead are not responsible, so the crime of exposing the weak nature of the kingdom will naturally fall on him, the governor.

Governor Ginsburg's worries are completely superfluous. It is not that something big may happen, but something big has already happened.

The fall of Aldersburg was just the beginning. The Nether Cultists who received feedback from the power of the evil gods not only were not weakened by the war, but became stronger.

The army of the Nether Cult, whose strength had been strengthened, did not stop expanding, and began to grow like a snowball.

The province of Mythia is the home of the rebels, but it does not mean the entirety of the rebels.Almost at the same time, rebellions broke out in more than a dozen provinces of the Kingdom of Hesse.

Gunpowder smoke enveloped half of the kingdom, as if it had come to the end of the dynasty.

Except for the Kingdom of Hesse, which suffered the most losses, rebellions of varying intensities occurred in the Five-Nation Alliance.

It's just that most of these rebellions were dying struggles after their identities were exposed. The preparations in advance were not as sufficient as the Nether Sect, and the impact they caused was not as great.

……

In the mountain area, Hudson, who received the news, was almost in a daze.

When did cults become so powerful?

Isn't it funny that the five-nation alliance can still cause chaos when it is prepared in advance!
But after learning the specific information, Hudson's doubts were all solved.

The five-nation alliance is indeed prepared, but this preparation is not sufficient.The top leaders of various countries did not take the cult rebellion seriously, and the so-called preparations were just an official document.

The military reforms of the two countries in the Northern Continent are relatively thorough, and the strength of the private armies of the local nobles is relatively strong. In addition, they have successfully expanded a wave of external expansion, and internal conflicts have been eased. Naturally, there is no problem in doing so.

The three countries in the mainland are different. In the last mainland war, they were complete losers.

In the armistice treaty, they exchanged land with the alien alliance in name, but in fact they lost the city and lost the land.

After the war, dissatisfaction with the government rose from all walks of life in China, and social conflicts that had been suppressed for a long time also broke out, becoming a hotbed for the spread of cult ideas.

In addition, there is another practical problem: the number of free citizens in the three countries in the mainland is more.

In peaceful times, the social wealth created by free people far exceeds that of serfs.

But in times of turmoil, or encountering wars and famines, the free people are also the most unstable group that is most likely to go bankrupt.

Compared with the serfs, the level of knowledge and cognition of the freemen was still slightly higher.

Correspondingly, the overall quality of members of cult organizations in the three countries in mainland China should be a little bit stronger.

The superposition of multiple factors has caused the situation in the mainland to get out of control.

The only good news is that this wave of cults has not only affected the three countries in mainland China.

Almost all countries and major alien races in the southern continent have had cult rebellions in the recent period.

If everyone is in turmoil together, it means that there is no chaos at all.

Whoever can get out of the crisis first will have an advantage in this round of competition.

"Duke, there is an urgent message from the royal capital, Your Majesty asks you to go to the meeting immediately!"

Tom's words brought Hudson back from his contemplation to reality.

Hearing the "urgent news", Hudson's first reaction was that something happened!
In the past ten years, there have been no more than ten emergency news from the kingdom.

Including the Skull and Bones Rebellion in the southeastern province that year, the continuous occupation of two counties did not allow the kingdom to use emergency summons.

"understood!

Jenny, inform Madam that I am going to the capital, and this evening is just for dinner.

Tom, you go and inform the higher-ups of the territory and let them preside over the work for me! "

After finishing speaking, Hudson directly summoned Bear Stearns and went straight to the capital.

There is no way, Maxim is still working hard, and it is not suitable to disturb him now.

It's rare for Uncle Long to be so attentive. It would be embarrassing if his interest was spoiled and he didn't have passion in his work.

Frankly speaking, Hudson is not used to suddenly changing from a dragon knight to a bear knight.

Compared with Maxim, who likes to shuttle through the clouds, Bear Stearns prefers to run on the ground, as if he has no sense of security when he leaves the ground.

After doing countless ideological work, all of them ended in failure. Hudson can only attribute it to: blood talent.

……

Emerald Palace, stepping here again, Hudson is already a regular visitor here.

The palace guards didn't even have to interrogate him, and took him directly into the hall.It's not that he is highly recognizable, but the main reason is that the mount is too cool.

Whether it is the Red Dragon or the Earth Bear, they are unique on the mainland, and there is no possibility of impersonation.

Stepping into the hall, he glanced at the panic-stricken ministers of the kingdom, and Hudson asked in a daze, "What's the matter, are you so panicked?"

Although the cult turmoil was fierce, there was no major disturbance in the Alpha Kingdom, and the troubles of the allies were just minor problems.

If you read the history books, you will know that all previous cult rebellions were ferocious in the early stage, and soon they will be weak in the follow-up.

At most, it will shake the foundation of a country's rule, but there has never been a case of directly overthrowing a big country.

Even if there is a change of power, it will not affect the current structure of the five-nation alliance.Under the current situation, no matter who is in power, they need to rely on the power of the alliance to fight against the aliens.

"A rebellion broke out in the Falcon Kingdom, the rebels attacked the capital, and the king died under the rebellion!"

After the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Earl Francis, finished his explanation, Hudson was still in a daze.

A coup d'état in an overseas kingdom, what's the matter with the Alpha Kingdom?

Even if the king died, it would be a big deal to condemn it, and even if it wanted to interfere, it was a matter for the countries in the southern continent, and the Alpha Kingdom was completely beyond its reach.

Maybe he noticed Hudson's reaction, and then added.

"The Falcon Kingdom is not a simple aristocratic coup, but the merchant aristocrats who launched the rebellion. These people rose with the rise of ocean trade, and many of their predecessors were pirates.

Henry V's death was most likely not an accident, but deliberate by these guys.

According to the information we have collected, the Zijinhua Dynasty has been thinly populated in recent years, and accidents frequently happened to the direct heirs.After Henry V's family was wiped out, the royal family had no direct heirs.

The blood relationship of the remaining collateral and distant branches is too complicated, and it is difficult to arrange the heir in line. "

After getting a definite answer, Hudson took a deep breath.

I have to admit that this group of emerging business aristocrats can play.In order to avoid the king's revenge afterwards, the royal family was simply extinct.

Only in this way, the political influence is too bad, it is completely shaking the sacred status of the royal power, and it is also shaking the status of the nobles.

Since the birth of royal power and nobility, the two sides have achieved a deep bond.The glory of the nobility comes from the royal family, and the nobility is the biggest royalist party.

The status of both parties is completely lost and both are prosperous.

In the past years, the rules of the game in the Aslant continent were: nobles are nobles, kings are kings, and there has never been any transgression.

The current royal legal system all originated from the imperial era.

Either it was a princely country conferred by the emperor, and established itself when the empire was divided; or it was stained with the blood of the royal family, and after the extinction of the royal family, it took the name of inheriting the glory of the royal family.

The rise of a new royal family is usually the result of the old royal family's normal extinction, because of its own strength and the blood of the royal family, it was pushed to the throne.

To sum it up in one sentence: Kingship is transmitted through blood.

The Falcon Kingdom's gameplay is obviously different this time. They are waiting for the royal family to die normally, and they are using physical methods to make the royal family die.

Properly breaking the rules!
If these chaotic parties cannot be extinguished, once this precedent is set, wouldn't it be chaos in the future.

As a staunch royalist, Hudson immediately chose to denounce the shameless behavior of these chaotic parties like the ministers.

There is no way, as one of the powerful factions in the kingdom, you must stand firm at this time.

When this kind of thing happened, no matter who is the king, he will doubt the loyalty of his subordinates. The more powerful the prince, the easier it is to be suspected.

Fortunately, Hudson's background is not high, his rise time is too short, and his network of contacts is more at the lower levels. From all aspects, he is not a potential player in the competition for the throne.

Otherwise, he would not be notified to attend this special meeting.
