After Becoming The Tyrant

When Legrand's king led his soldiers to fight in the north, the king of Blessie, which was separated from Legrand by a strait, was also in the flames of war.

The new King Blaise with dark blonde hair is not having a good time these days.

After the pope announced the oath of allegiance to Blaise's subjects, his dear brother, Prince Charles, couldn't wait to raise troops to conquer him. It was a "punishment" in name, but it was actually a usurpation.The power of Blaise Holy Court is deeply entrenched. Although Ferry III has made a lot of efforts in advance, the situation is still very bad.

"His Majesty."

General Karl stood behind Ferry III in full armor.

Waiting near Ferry III was an elite army of knights, who stood quietly in front of the Palace of Bracy.

Ferry III, like them, wore armor.

He looked up at the Palace of Bracy, the palace marked by tulips, whose spire was as straight as a sword in the dark night.

After tonight, this place will cease to exist.

With the support of the Holy Court and most nobles, Prince Charles has crossed the important Kobia River and seized the royal castle in Nader City.After losing Nader Castle, the area controlled by Ferry III shrank rapidly, and now his good brother is approaching the capital aggressively.

General Karl sent letters to the major families, asking them to send troops to support them.

Ferry III said to his teacher with a smile, asking for help from these great nobles is the most stupid thing in the world. If they are not standing still, they are already on their way to attack him.Facts have proved that Ferry III's judgment is much more accurate than his teacher, or he is more sober than his teacher.

"If you really want to leave here, you will still feel sad."

Holding the torch, Ferry III looked around the familiar palace and sighed.

When he was young, he knew that he would inherit that throne one day, and once ran to the throne in the middle of the night to look at it.His father came from behind, put his hand gently on his shoulder, and asked him if he thought this chair was beautiful?He hesitated then, and replied frankly that he thought it was very impressive.His father picked him up, put him on the marble throne, and told him that this chair was colder than all the chairs in the world, and that if he wanted to sit on it, he had to be prepared to go through fire.

His father was not a promising monarch, and he often tolerated the nobles and the church. It is more cowardly to say that he is generous.

Ferry III thought so when he was young, and he didn't realize until later that the prestige of that throne was all fake.

A real king is not just relying on a chair and a crown.If being a king still needs to bow his knees, just like he became the younger brother of a lackey of the holy court, is such a king really a king?

"Your Majesty..." General Karl wanted to say something.

Ferry III interrupted him with a smile: "Don't persuade me."

He took the flaming arrow from the servant's hand, pulled it full force, and shot it steadily into the palace.In the Palace of Bracy, oil was poured on the floor at this time, and the flames shot up quickly as soon as the rocket hit the ground.

"Let's go."

Ferry III dropped his bow and rode forward.

Behind him, Blaise's thousand-year-old palace printed a brilliant shadow in the raging fire—a vain prosperity was being burned by red fire.

"After Charlie captured Aseri, he would be furious when he found out that what he got was a burned palace?"

The army headed by Ferry III went out from the north gate of the castle and headed northeast.On the horse, Ferry III had a joke with General Karl.

General Karl couldn't figure out what his former student was thinking, so he could only slightly bow: "Your Majesty, do you think they are really reliable?"

General Karl refers to the group of members of the Holy Court that Ferry III cooperated with.

The smile on Ferry III's face disappeared.

He snorted coldly: "The difference between a jackal and a poisonous snake is nothing more than trustworthy."

"Then we...?" General Karl said worriedly.

They set fire to the palace, and left the capital of Bracy with the most elite troops in the middle of the night. This was tantamount to surrendering the entire country to Charles and the Holy Court.The purpose of their trip was to go to the cold region in the northeast, where there was a territory belonging to Ferry III himself.

Like Legrand's Anger State, the terrain is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack.

"As long as there are people, it will never be with one voice." Ferry III said lightly, "The pope's throne is in the world of saints, isn't it also the supreme throne? Servant of servants, king of the world ...Who wouldn't want such a throne? There are far more people who died because of it than the secular throne, right?"

Under the more glorious throne, there are more bones and blood.

The selection of the pope is absolutely as intense as that of a secular monarch.In the last 300 years alone, six popes died of assassination or other reasons.There are also different theological systems in the holy court. The pope's current intention to establish a country has received the general support of the entire holy court and is very authoritative, but this does not mean that everyone will hope that things will develop as the pope hopes. .

Today's holy court is like a moving steel chariot. Pope Eutian drove this iron chariot to crush the earth, but in the shadow of the wheels, countless things are brewing, and everyone has joined the battle A torrent of chaos.

"How is Legrand now?" Ferry III asked, he knew that General Karl had just received a secret letter from Legrand a few days ago.

"The impact of Duke Buckingham's death in battle has been completely overwhelmed by the victory of Purland. As long as he can capture Beaumarie Castle, Legrand's rebellion will be over." General Karl replied.

Ferry III heard the words: "I hope he can go well."

Will they stop the car with their arms, or will they be crushed into ashes by iron wheels?

........................

Legrand, Beaumarie Castle.

In the external fortifications of the castle, all the guards of the Balbo State perform their duties.The Vulture General of the Balbo State stood on the Blackstone Fortress in the center of the Lacey River, overlooking the Legrand army camp on the other side of the river from a height.

In the past few days, Lantoft, the leader of the rebel army, the king of Newcana, has become a little irritable. General Condor looked on coldly, thinking that some of his plans that he thought were sure had failed.

And this morning, Lantov's special agent sent an order to stick to it.

When he received this order, General Vulture couldn't help subconsciously thinking of the letter he shot into the fort with an arrow that day.For the past few days, General Condor has been pondering over that letter.

He couldn't make up his mind.

At this moment, the harsh sound of warning horns spread throughout the fortress.

General Vulture was startled, and immediately looked out from the archery hole.

I saw that Legrand's army, which had been standing still for the past few days, suddenly broke out and marched forward, and a small fleet built temporarily by logging was pushed into the river.The soldiers on board were all wearing bright red smocks, obviously Legrand's vanguard.

In the past few days, Legrand's soldiers have been logging nearby, and the rest are some seemingly small-scale tentative behaviors.General Sheen also sent a team equipped with an ax to Lacey and Zhongzhong several times, braving the rain of arrows overhead to chop down the wooden piles laid by the rebels in the water.

Several actions have yielded no results.

General Vulture relaxed his vigilance a little because of this.

As a result, today, without warning, Legrand began to attack the fortress!

The vanguard fleet on bamboo rafts quickly approached the rows of erected wooden stakes along the current. The archers moved forward several times, and fired salvos at these soldiers from the archery holes on the tall black stone fortress tower. The torrential rain enveloped that fleet.But unexpectedly, the fleet did not come close to the fort and the stakes.

When there was still a distance from the stake, the soldiers holding their shields quickly threw the piles of branches and dry grass on the raft into the water.The rushing water carried these debris straight down, and the branches and dry grass were quickly stopped by the closely arranged wooden stakes in the water.

"What are they doing?"

Just when General Vulture was at a loss, in the rain of arrows, the soldiers lifted the barrels one by one from the boat, and worked together to pour the contents of the barrels into the river.The poured liquid floated on the surface of the water, and was quickly carried and rushed to the front of the defensive line drawn by wooden stakes.

Only then did General Vulture understand what the soldiers had thrown down the branches and hay for.

I saw that the buckets of liquid they fell down were blocked by branches and dry grass in front of the stake defense line, and were not washed away by the rushing Lacey River.

A bad premonition welled up, and General Condor immediately ordered to shoot the vanguard fleet with all his might.

On a bamboo raft boat in the Laixi River, a soldier shoots an arrow lit by fire.

The rocket fell on the layer of unknown liquid blocked by the branches and dry grass in front of the stake. General Vulture could hardly believe his eyes—only the flames were burning on the water.

On the other side of the river, General Sheen was directing the soldiers to prepare the pontoon bridge that had already been built.When he looked up, he could see the king reining in his horse standing quietly in front of the army, and he was finally relieved from the breath he had been holding for the past few days.

——Only a very few people know that these days, the king is not in the main account at all!

General Sheen didn't think about what the king did during the few days he was away, he just carefully did everything he should do as a general, and strictly blocked the news.

Fortunately, before the official war started, the king returned.

Holding a thick drawing full of numbers and symbols in his hand, James stood beside the king, gesturing to the opposite castle and fortress.After taking back Newcana Castle, the king did not let him continue to preside over the construction of the castle there, but brought him in as a military architectural consultant during the war.

The king's evaluation of James at the beginning was not wrong——

This one should indeed belong to the Madman Academy.

"Although the ancient sacred flame is powerful, it has too many limitations." James shook his head dissatisfied. He looked at the blueprint in his hand, and then looked at the archery holes in the fortress. "If the danger of the cannon can be reduced, If the explosive damage can be increased, then we can create an unbreakable fortress! It is definitely ten thousand times better than these rubbish things!"

Listening to James' nagging, the king raised his eyebrows slightly.

"There will be."

He replied thoughtfully.

While speaking, the wooden stakes that the rebels had planted in the Laixi River to stop them had been almost destroyed by the ancient holy fire.

The wooden stakes were burned, and the ancient holy fire was gradually no longer blocked in a line, and began to be washed away by the river water. As a result, large and small warm yellow flames floated on a section of the river, presenting an unreal, beautiful and dreamy feeling.

The king gave the order to attack.
