After Becoming The Tyrant

The rebels guarding the tower raised their shields and long swords in vain, trying to prevent Legrand's soldiers from entering, but without the protection of the hard tower wall, they had no maximum barrier.

Swords collided, shields were knocked against the towers, and blood cascaded from the necks of the slain, flying high and leaving cruel paintings on the walls.Under the command of General Sheen, the soldiers swept past layer by layer, and the warm corpses rolled down the spiral staircase inside the tower.

General Vulture retreated from the southeast tower of the fortress to the northwest tower under the escort of his own soldiers.

"Retreat, General!"

The captain of the bodyguard said anxiously to General Vulture.

"We can't hold it anymore! Let's retreat to the fortress behind!"

"Look down."

General Vulture answered coldly with a shield in one hand and a sword in the other.

The sound of fighting was getting closer and closer, and the octagonal Blackstone Fortress had a tower on each corner, capable of resisting approaching enemies from all directions.But as long as any tower is breached and the enemy enters the interior of the fortress, their advantage will be gone.

According to General Condor's words, the captain of the guard looked down from an archery hole he passed.

His breathing suddenly stagnated slightly.

Under the high tower, the king and the rose cavalry stood quietly in the northwest of the fortress. They held the uniform rose king flag, which was violently blown by the wind.

They look down upon their hunting grounds like a pack of lions haughtily and grimly.

The lion has completed the most dangerous part of hunting, and the rest is just the struggle of the prey. Within the line they delineate, all the prey are dying and resisting, and death is doomed.

While the chief guard was looking around, the king in the crowd suddenly raised his head, and he took a step back abruptly.At that moment, he had an illusion - the other party seemed to be keenly aware of his gaze from such a long distance.But soon, the captain of the guard shouted in surprise: "General! Look! General!"

General Condor gave him a strange look, and walked to the archery hole.

I saw that the rose cavalry stationed under the northwest tower of the fortress turned around and headed towards the corner they had breached, and their way to the opposite fortress was given up.

"They're gone! Let's go!"

Surviving a desperate situation, the chief guard said excitedly.

General Vulture frowned tightly, he was able to make dangerous moves as soon as he came up, and broke through their outermost defenses with cavalry who were not valued in siege battles... He didn't think the king would be so stupid that he didn't know that they would withdraw unless...

General Vulture remembered the letter that was carried into the tower by the arrow that day, and his heart moved, but there was no trace on his face.

"withdraw!"

General Condor gave the order, and he quickly ran down the stairs of the tower with his own soldiers. Legrand's army has captured all the towers on the south and east sides of the fortress, leaving only the tower in the northwest corner that has not been captured yet. enter.General Condor smoothly descended from the upper floors of the tower and lowered the drawbridge of the tower.

A group of people quickly ran towards the bridge connecting the opposite fortress.

They only destroyed the pontoon bridge before, but left a few small boats under the bridge as a back road. At this time, a group of people jumped on the boat and rowed with all their strength to reach the fortress in the wetland of the tributary of the Laixi River on the inclined side.The rebels guarding this fort saw the general escape, and hurriedly lowered the drawbridge to meet them.

When General Vulture fled to the second fortress, the battle was coming to an end. Only a few rebels left who were abandoned by General Vulture fought stubbornly, and the rest had thrown down their weapons in despair and surrendered.

In the Blackstone Fortress at this time, blood can be seen everywhere.

The king climbed to the top of the tower of Blackstone Keep on blood.

The wind came blowing with the chill of the end of winter. The king stretched out his hand and pulled out the white salamander flag of the rebel army that was planted on the flag stand of the tower.

Let go.

The king watched icily as the white banner tumbled from the tower and fell into the smoldering fire beneath the tower, which rose up and devoured the rebel banner.

The Rose Knight behind him took a step forward holding the brand-new king's flag in both hands, and walked to the king's side.

The king unfurled the king's banner.

On the blood-red background, the dark golden iron roses were in full bloom.

The king firmly planted the king's flag on the flag stand of the tower, and the wind from the extreme north howled and spread the king's flag wildly.After 1000 years, the flag has finally returned to its old place.

"I will take back everything that is occupied in the future."

The king whispered to himself, like an old promise.

………………

The temporary pontoon bridge was reinforced and spanned the Laixi River. When night fell, the king had already rested in the middle of the packed fortress.

It was James who came to see the king first.

Holding a large stack of thick, densely written drawings, James excitedly gestured towards the king, explaining his idea for the reconstruction of the fortress, and also mentioned again what he said in his letter about the role of iron crossbows in military affairs. He got some inspiration from the battering ram, and thought that he could place a siege crossbow on a fixed corner of the tower and use it as a defense.

The king listened for a while, and felt that this gentleman seemed to have a sense of sight of arming the fortress like a hedgehog.

Although they are both architectural designers, James and another architect in the King's Academy of Mad Science chose completely different directions.

The king coughed lightly and interrupted Mr. James's eloquent words: "One question, sir, weren't you a holy church designer before?"

General Sheen, who had just stepped into the conference hall, couldn't help laughing when he heard this sentence: "My God, Mr. James, you used to be a church designer?"

James plausibly said: "All architecture is art, the collision of cold rock and wood, they are eternally solidified, different types have different beauty... If you can install some more powerful artillery, it will be a song of coldness and sparks gone."

General Sean: ...

For some reason, he felt that what James said made sense, but he also felt that something was wrong.

The king laughed. He shook his head and handed James another letter of appointment that had already been written: "Sir, now you have a choice."

James finally saw that it was a letter of appointment for the chief research officer of the Legrand First Academy of Sciences.

"I noticed that you said it was a choice?" James glanced at the letter of appointment and then at the king.

The king looked at him with a smile: "Do you think there will be a choice other than accepting?"

"If I refuse..." James said as he folded the letter of appointment and put it away.

"Ah... You know, you know a lot of military secrets now. In the event of war, I must ensure that the military aircraft will not be leaked, right?" the king said with a smile, his tone relaxed.

James snorted heavily, grabbed the drawings on the desktop, turned his head and left.

When he was about to leave the house, he could be heard complaining bitterly in a low voice:

"tyrant!"

General Sheen glanced at the king.

The king didn't take it seriously: "Go and tell him later that I need a batch of improved siege towers, and send him the essential gifts of our Academy of Sciences by the way."

Having said this, the king laughed.

When General Sean led the people to blockade the southeast coast some time ago, he dealt with several scientists from the Academy of Mad Science. At this time, when he heard the "gift" from the king's mouth, his expression became extremely complicated...Your Majesty, you Are you sure that's really a gift and not a threat?

However, think about it, if Mr. James, the current war ordnance maniac, is thrown into the Holy Court, the end will really be a burning rack.

After a serious look, General Sean began to report to the king on business.

Mainly about what to do with the rebels they captured.

Before the war, the king ordered the captives not to beheaded directly.

Over the past few days, General Sheen has gained a deeper understanding of their king.Their majesty is disdainful of fame. He doesn't care about using the bloodiest means to achieve his goal. He has both kindness and cruelty. Since he ordered the six prisoners to die, there must be a reason.

"Wait until night, let them go to the second fortress."

The king crossed his fingers and thought for a moment before answering.

General Sean nodded in agreement. After hesitating for a while, he still asked, "Your Majesty, I don't quite understand why you let General Condor go...you?"

The king seemed to have expected that General Sean would have this question. He picked up a letter from the table with the wax peeled off and handed it to General Sean: "Look."

General Sean took the letter with both hands and took it out to read.

After reading only a few lines, General Sean's face was immediately stained with joy, and he looked up at the king: "You have been waiting for this for a few days?"

The king nodded.

The letter was a battle report sent by General Edmund of the Angle State.

With the assistance of the Angle State army, Count Henry led Legrand's left-wing army to break through the outer defenses of the Balbo State's royal city, trapping King Balbo within the castle.General Edmund successfully intercepted a letter from King Balbo to General Condor, requesting him to send troops back immediately to break the siege.

This important letter was sent by General Edmund together.

The king picked up the letter from King Balbo for help, put it under the light, and said slowly: "We don't have much time, if there is a better way to take back the Beaumari Castle, why bother to let our soldiers How much precious blood is shed?"

General Sean bowed his head and saluted the king: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

"Are there any officers among the prisoners who are familiar with General Condor?" asked the king.

General Sean thought for a while: "There is one, his personal soldier, who couldn't escape because he was injured."

The king handed a sealed letter to General Sheen: "When he is released, let him take this letter to his general...if his nickname 'Vulture' is true , we just need to wait.”

General Sheen understood something, he took the letter, and left respectfully.

In the room where the king was alone, the king held his fingertips together, and he was thinking about another thing that the devil had mentioned to him before.When the devil sent him back to the world, he had suggested that he'd better try and take it back without doing too much damage to the castle itself.Although this was his original intention, the devil would pay attention to Beaumarie Castle, which showed that there was something strange about Beaumarie Castle.

When he asked the reason, the devil replied pointedly:

——The Qiangwei family's castle itself is a precious treasure.

What does it mean?
