After Becoming The Tyrant

"Legrand..."

The whistling wind passed through the ground, and a group of black armored cavalry stepped onto the Northland. They were uniformly dressed in heavy black armor, and the hideous bone spurs on their armor looked like the scales and bones of a giant dragon.The war horse is half a body taller than an ordinary horse, and the horse is also covered with a dark mask.

These people, these horses, are all shrouded in a heavy blood.

They are the pinnacle of the knight age, and they are also the outright tyrants on the knight battlefield. They are the descendants of the sea barbarians. When they appear on the battlefield, everyone will tremble because of them.

Gorondian heavy cavalry, here we come.

The rebel army spent huge sums of money to hire this elite ancient heavy cavalry.

The prestige of the ancient Lundian heavy cavalry spread far and wide on both sides of the abyss, but their leader was an old man——Her Mo.

It is said that the sea barbarians briefly unified all the countries in the Hopeless Inner Sea and established a huge empire.The rulers of the empire are used to living in large white tents that travel around the seasons, and their emperor is named after "Mo".However, the rule of the barbarians soon ended, and they were not really fit to rule the country.

Looting and killing are the things engraved in the blood of these ancient Lundians.

And Hermo's surname shows that he has part of the blood of the royal family of the barbarian empire.

The leader of Hull is a typical Gulundi. His hair is already white, but his eyes are still as sharp as a wolf hunting on the grassland.A body of lean muscles was shrouded behind a heavy iron armor, and a huge epee was carried on his back. No one would doubt that when he swung that epee, it would surely harvest the heads of his enemies like a whirlwind.

"Abba, have you ever been here?"

At the side of the leader of Hull was his son, a warrior as big as a brown bear.

"I came here once a long time ago." Chief Hull said lightly.

They continued to ride forward, and the heavy cavalry behind them made a surprised sound.

In the snow in front of them, a piece of blood-colored terracotta suddenly appeared.

It was a huge prototype open space. All the woods in the open space were turned into charcoal. The ground seemed to have been scorched by fire, and also seemed to be dyed through layers of endless blood, showing a blood color that was as thick as brown.The snow fluttered down from the sky, but for some reason, the snowflakes melted out of thin air before they even landed on the land.

So in the thick snow around, there is such a glaring open space.

It gave people a strange feeling that it was a drop of blood, a drop of blood that fell on this land.

The ground was clean, with nothing but red blood, making it impossible to fathom what had happened here.But there was still a chilling and tragic atmosphere in the air, an invisible aura of fear that made people neigh uncomfortably.

"what is this?"

The samurai reined in his horse with trepidation in his heart, looking at the open space like a pool of blood.

"battlefield."

Leader Hull also stopped his horse. He stared at the bloody field in front of him gravely, as if recalling something, his expression became serious.He took off his helmet, raised his hand and tapped his forehead.

The samurai was a little surprised, because this was a high-level sacrificial ceremony in the ancient Lundian tradition.

"It's a pity." Leader Hull didn't mean to explain. He put on his helmet again and waved to the heavy cavalry behind him, "Go around."

The black iron heavy cavalry split into two, bypassed the blood-colored slope, and stepped forward on the thick snow on the side.

"Was you just now?"

The samurai walked forward and couldn't help asking his father in a low voice.

"I thought I could fight Legrand's lion again this time...it's a pity." Leader Hull said lightly, "That is the one who can really be named as a lion, and I don't know that the Qiangwei family will succeed him. Yes, can you inherit his blood?"

"Full speed ahead."

After the leader of Hull finished speaking, he said sharply again.

Samurai has a feeling.

——It was as if before he saw the bloody land, his father actually regarded himself not as a mercenary, but as a knight.He came all the way here because of a long-ago battle. He came to find an opponent he recognized and decided to fight against him again.

But his approved opponent was gone.

So the rest became a real fight over money, which suddenly seemed meaningless to my father.

The ancient heavy cavalry galloped up.

The heavy armor on their bodies rubbed against each other, making clanking noises.Their war horses are all red-blooded black horses in the hopeless inner sea. When they march at full speed, it seems that the gate of hell opens, and an army that controls death gallops out of it.

………………

Benz City.

This is the closest autonomous city to the Royal Castle of Newcana that is still under the control of Legrand.But it is far inferior to the royal castle built by the king with a lot of money. It used to be just a trading town. Later, the Legrands gradually migrated to settle here, and the population gradually increased.

The king and his rose cavalry are stationed here.

Now people in Benz City are in a hurry to strengthen the protection of the town, but in fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that these hastily built fences and the original low city walls have no real protective effect at all.

The self-government on Benz City became the king's temporary military command seat at this time.

The scouts had returned before dark, bringing bad news—the rebel army completely occupied Newcana Castle yesterday, and the Gulundi heavy cavalry also officially entered the castle yesterday, and is now resting.

It seems that there is an invisible weight falling on everyone's head.

If the king himself hadn't been here, the entire town would have fallen into despair, and the army might have begun to flee—the Gulundi heavy cavalry had a terrifying reputation on the battlefield.

In fact, it is not that there are no countries that have tried to build an army like the ancient heavy cavalry, but no one has invested all their wealth in armor and weapons, and they have not Such a samurai who has been tempered on the battlefield.

The Gulundians did not have their own country, their blood was full of violence and killing, they were born for the battlefield, so they were the shadows on the battlefield.

The best way to deal with the ancient heavy cavalry is to stick to the castle.

But Legrand's most important military castle in the North has fallen, and this head-on confrontation is inevitable.

After the lieutenant reported the number of troops they have now and the situation of the heavy cavalry observed by the scouts, they waited for the king to make a decision—to fight or retreat?

"We need a win."

The king stared at the map.

The Duke of Buckingham died in battle, and Newcastle Castle fell... The battle in the Northland has reached the most critical period. They can retreat, but once they retreat, the hearts of the entire Northland will be completely dispersed. The king will lead the soldiers to flee. The place fending off the rebel army is in despair.

Therefore, they can only fight, and only fight.

Even if there are Gullendian heavy cavalry in front, they must fight!

The Imperial Lion has fallen, and the King must declare a victory to the entire Empire—they have a new Lion.

But what are they fighting for?

Adding the ancient heavy cavalry, the number of rebels was six times that of the vanguard led by the king.The disparity in troop strength put Legrand's important battle in an extremely dangerous state from the very beginning.

"Open the arsenal in Benz City and distribute all weapons to all grown-up males in the city." The king said slowly, "Tomorrow, I will unify all of them as knights on the spot."

According to Legrand's military system, each county has an arsenal. When the king orders conscription, the sheriff selects civilians, and then opens the arsenal and distributes swords and armor to the selected soldiers. Unified take back.The king's previous sheriff's change of blood was aimed at this point.

As an autonomous city of Legrand, Banz City is equivalent to the county in central Legrand in terms of status, and it also has an arsenal.

"All the newly conferred knights will be incorporated into the reserve army as... the central army."

The king withdrew his gaze, looked directly at the lieutenant general, and said slowly.

The lieutenant trembled in his heart, and a chill slowly crept up his spine.

He knew what the king's move meant.

Before the follow-up reinforcements could arrive in time, all adult males in the town were knighted on the spot—the king wanted these new knights to set foot on the battlefield.But they weren't even reservists, just men who had just taken up arms...they were pawns that the king threw into the battle.

The king used them as the central army to send them under the horses of the Gulundi heavy cavalry, allowing the heavy cavalry to trample and kill them, so as to gain the opportunity to confront the rebels with the rose cavalry.

Their lives would be thrown into this war, and their lives would be thrown away by the king the moment they rejoiced that they were knights.

"Do you know what that means?"

The lieutenant knew that he shouldn't ask such a question, but the words still blurted out uncontrollably.

"I know."

The king raised his head slowly.

The lieutenant met his eyes and felt chills in his heart.

The king's eyes are so deep that people can't understand. What is hidden under those icy blue eyes is no longer a glacier, but a frozen ocean... The one who galloped in the snow field of the Northland for his uncle The boy who had been there for several days and nights, when he heard that the Duke of Buckingham had died in battle, the boy with his downcast eyebrows and eyes covered with shadows and sadness disappeared completely overnight.

The lieutenant suddenly could no longer treat the person sitting on the chair with the attitude of caring for a young person as the Duke of Buckingham had explained.

Because the person sitting in the dim light of the candle was no longer someone he could regard as a junior.

On the high-backed chair in this simple hall, only Legrand's monarch was left.

The young king became a real king overnight, and the candlelight covered him like molten gold, illuminating the place where he was.Sitting alone on the throne, he completely possesses the heart and means of iron and blood.

"So, I put a person's life on the battlefield."

The king's voice was calm, and there was something frightening about it.

The lieutenant couldn't help asking: "Who?"

"I."
