After Becoming The Tyrant

The king led the army forward and approached Beaumari Castle.

Not far from the main line of the Lacey River, the barrier of Beaumarie Castle, the army chose a suitable location to station under the king's order.

There was moderate snow in the sky, and under the protection of a small group of elite knights, the king climbed to a nearby high ground.This is the best place to observe, but it is actually a huge rock lying on the ground, with no shelter on it, and the rebels on the opposite side can also clearly see the people standing on the high ground.

Cavaliers held their shields discreetly and guarded the king.

Holding a black umbrella, the king looked far away at the stretch of fortresses standing across the Lacey River.

The two black stone fortresses are like silent giants, standing in the middle of the isolated island in the center of the river and the oblique side tributary respectively. The Laixi River flows very fast here with cold mist floating on the water surface. Ordinary rafts are easily overturned by the rapid current. There are also large and small rugged black stones as natural obstacles in the water.If you want to go there, you can only walk on the bridge on the water.

But the rebels had gone one step ahead, destroying the bridge connecting the left bank and the island before the king's army arrived.In addition, they nailed dense wooden stakes in the water to form a fence to cut off traffic.

Behind these outlying fortifications is the magnificent Bomari Castle.

Under the gray sky, the king looked thoughtfully at the opposite black stone castle.

The dark rock is extremely hard, and the entire castle has countless pointed towers, giving people a sharp and powerful feeling.Buildings of this style are rare, but the king has a familiar feeling... He seems to have seen similar buildings somewhere, even bigger and more spectacular.

After a little thought, the king remembered.

—that was in hell.

That time, when he accepted the devil's invitation to visit hell, the king saw a dark castle on a barren land, with huge pale snake bones winding on it, and countless spiers blending with the mountain peaks. , leaving a memorable shadow on the dark red sky.

Beaumarie Castle is like a fragmentary miniature of the castle in hell, except that there are no snake bones hovering over it.

Rose Palace is built on the basis of dragon bones, similar to the palace style of the lord of "greed and ill-gotten wealth". The dark and pointed towers of Bomari Castle, which belongs to the Rose family, are similar to the castles in the barren land of hell. ...The king had some more guesses about the relationship between the Qiangwei family and hell.

While the king was observing the distribution of the towers of Bomari Castle, the knight around him took a step forward holding his shield.

The giant fine iron shield was as tall as a person, and it was divided into two halves, the left and right halves. It was jointly controlled by two knights. When it was heavily inserted into the ground, it immediately formed an airtight low steel wall.At the moment when the iron shields were put together, there was a mournful howl of arrows in the air.

Clang, clang, clang.

Three iron arrows flew out from the archery hole of the Black Tower Fortress in the center of the opposite river. The archer was definitely a good player. From a long distance, the three iron arrows hit the thick iron shield.The arrowhead collided with the relief on the shield, splashing dark red sparks.

The other knights immediately raised their shields and picked up the three iron arrows from the ground and handed them to the king.

The king took the arrow and held it before his eyes.

The arrowhead is made of cold forged steel, with a triangular blood groove on it.The technical level of the northern states is far from this level. These are weapons produced in the lowland countries, and the three arrows shot from the opposite side are actually a signal of deterrence-the defenders in the tower of the Blackstone Fortress are warning them.

The king stretched out his hand, and the guard next to him offered him the longbow.

"Get out."

The king put the arrow shot from the opposite side on the bowstring, and the hand with the rose ring pulled the string of the hard bow to the full.

The knight holding the huge shield was the rose cavalry who had followed him in the Battle of Benz City. Hearing the king's order, they separated to the left and right without hesitation to make room for the king.

The instant the giant shield withdrew from view, the king let go.

The iron arrow pierced through the air at a faster speed than when it came, and the blood groove on the arrowhead made a long, extremely shrill howling sound.

In the center of the Laixi River, in the Blackstone Fortress on the isolated island.

The archer at the top of the tower saw that the three arrows he had shot with all his strength landed on the tower-like shield. He put away his bow and shook his head at the officer standing beside him, expressing that the other party was well prepared.

The external military defense of Bomari Castle is in charge of the Balbobang Kingdom. The representative of the Balbobang Kingdom stationed here is General Alru, nicknamed "Vulture". He has a conspicuous hook nose, gray eyes, and gray hair.General Vulture was on the tower of the fortress in the center of the Lacey River at this time. He squinted his eyes and looked at the broken rock on the other side of the river.

It is naturally the best result to let the archers shoot arrows and kill King Legrand.

General Vulture also knew that the possibility of such an outcome was very small, and he was not disappointed. The more important purpose was to warn the enemy.

"As tough as his uncle."

General Vulture whispered to himself, looking into the distance from the archery hole.

At this moment, he saw the giant shield on the opposite broken rock suddenly parted.

Before General Vulture could react, the sharp howling of arrows sounded in his ears.

"not good."

He was about to draw the sword at his waist immediately.

A cold light passed in front of General Vulture, and the strong wind cut a thin gash in his cheek, which hurt.Immediately, General Vulture heard a muffled sound coming from beside him.When he turned his head, a chill ran up his spine and passed over his skull—an iron arrow sank into the head of the archer beside him.

The archer's eyes widened, and he fell straight back and fell heavily on the ground.

General Vulture took a step back, backed away from the archery hole, staring at the iron arrow on the head of the corpse, he would not admit it wrong, it was the arrow shot by the archer just now.The opponent judged his location from the three arrows of the archer, so he returned the arrows of the archer and took his life by the way.

When did Legrand's longbowmen become so terrifying?

Before General Vulture could think about it, there were two more terrifying arrows.

The remaining two arrows were accurately shot through the archery holes, and under the watchful eyes of General Vulture, they were nailed to the tower wall in front of the oblique front.The tail of the arrow is still humming.

As for who was shooting the arrow, General Vulture had a vague guess in his mind——

It is said that in the Battle of Banz City, the King of Legrand shot and killed the rebel count who was trying to escape with terrible archery, completely defeating the entire army.

General Condor's body was firmly attached to the wall of the tower. When he was staring at the two arrows and making guesses, he suddenly found two arrows nailed to the wall. One of the arrow shafts was tied with scarlet fine silk. There was faintly written writing—it was a letter.

General Vulture reached out and picked up a shield from the side, protected himself and approached the arrow carefully, and pulled the arrow from the tower wall with all his strength.During this process, the opponent did not shoot any more arrows.

The general unwrapped the letter and saw the signature on the letter at first glance.

This is a letter written by King Legrand himself.

General Condor's heart moved slightly, he didn't bother to read what was written in the letter, and hurriedly looked out from the archery hole again.On the far side of the broken rock, the king had already left with the black umbrella surrounded by knights.

The letter in his hand seemed to be a hot sword, and General Vulture's expression changed.

Finally, he gritted his teeth, lowered his head and opened the letter.

………………

"That guy saw you."

The devil walked beside the king, and he smiled and said to the king.

He walked beside the king, but none of the surrounding knights noticed his presence.The fear of sunlight that dark creatures have does not exist in him.

The king nodded slightly.

The king boarded the Broken Rock today, and there is another most important purpose——

Help the devil confirm whether the inhuman power of the Holy Court really exists in the castle.

The defense of the rebels was too calm, which made the king suspicious.

If he captures Beaumarie Castle, then the pacification of the Northland can be regarded as doomed. Such a result is obviously not what the Holy Court wants to see—they will definitely not want Legrand to withdraw from the civil strife as soon as possible .Since the war angel was able to appear on the battlefield and kill the Duke of Buckingham after paying a huge price, then...

When the battle is about to fail, the Holy Court should also intervene again.

The devil returned from Blaise and provided the king with a lot of useful information.

Although the decree is about to be lifted, the time for the Millennium Kingdom has not yet come. Even the Holy Court cannot use the method of interfering in the entire battle situation like the last time the Duke of Buckingham was killed in a short period of time.Therefore, it is very likely that they will resort to assassination this time.

As long as the king dies, the Northland counter-insurgency movement will be destroyed.

In the words of the devil, Hell and the Holy Court have been fighting tit for tat for so many years, and he has a way to detect whether there are angels hiding in Bomari Castle.

In the king's hand, in addition to the ring of the Rose family, he also wears the bone ring that symbolizes the power of "greed and ill-gotten wealth". The black umbrella in his hand is the dragon bone rapier that the devil used to hold black umbrella.The devil stood beside the king, hidden in the shadow cast by the black umbrella.

The devil's black umbrella has a special concealment ability. When he opens the black umbrella, he can walk into any church except the sanctuary of the holy court.Even the monks of the tribunal can hardly find him.

However, if the opposite side is an angel, I am afraid it is more sensitive than a monk, so the king wearing the bone ring opened the black umbrella.

Entering the main tent, the king closed the black umbrella and returned it to the devil.

The devil shrugged. He hoped the king wouldn't give him back the umbrella... It's a pity that his majesty is so perceptive.

"When do you think they will act?"

The devil asked with a smile.

The king looked up and looked outside the tent, and replied calmly, "Tonight."

The devil clapped his hands briskly: "I'm glad to share your thoughts, then... let's prepare for this hunt, my dear majesty."

There was a bit of coldness and blood in the devil's smile.Flirty is just a usual disguise, and there is a more terrifying side under his mask.

The king stroked the bone ring in his hand.

The hunter is still the prey, until the last moment, it is always unknown.
