Lord Duke

Chapter 32 Approaching

Royal Palace

There are constant battle reports coming from the Fenliu front in the central part.Wangcheng's army has already officially started a war with Chabu's army, and they have been fighting for a while.

The leader of the team was the leader of the Royal Guards, because there was really no one who could lead the army.If this situation had been encountered before, the king could order the nearby nobles to be summoned and let them lead troops to quell the chaos.Of course, there will be rewards for meritorious deeds after the settlement.For details, please refer to the Duke of Payne, who was previously named Prince of Wales.

But now the nobles are too busy to take care of themselves, and the king's actual power is not much left.Bishop North had been missing since the beginning of the war, and the king had no time for him.

However, the king is now pinching the battle report from the front line, the paper is crumpled and his fingertips are turning white.After a while he let go, at that moment he was very angry and irritable, even though he knew in his heart that being angry and irritable was useless, he still broke a painted vase angrily.

As soon as he let go of his hand, the letter paper swayed from side to side and fell to the ground.

Look what news is this? !

Bishop North went all the way south and went to be the military adviser of an army, which was the one of Pastor Creel.

The frontline is defeated.Played many times, in the big battles three wins, one loss and two losses, but in the small battles, there were fewer wins and more losses, and the losses were serious.

The Wangcheng army retreated and stationed, and the army as a whole lost many people, and the leader of the army was seriously injured and unconscious.For a while, the army was panicked.During the previous failures, the guards of the royal city were dispatched to help, so the defense of the royal city was weaker.

The number of guards guarding the tall city gates was almost reduced by half, but even so, the army of the royal city still failed to gain an advantage.

One letter after another was sent incessantly, the battle was urgent, the battle was urgent, the battle was defeated, the battle was defeated, these words were repeated over and over again, and the king was tired of reading them.

King Phil's temper has become increasingly bad during this time.Although Prince Arizona had disdain for him, his expression was always gloomy, and his manners were also thoughtful, making it impossible for King Phil, who suspected that he looked down on him, to find fault.Even at this time, King Phil still couldn't let go of his paranoia, so some time ago, because of the excessive power of the Duke of Payne, he was paranoid and went to invite the underground organization to act.

That was the suspicion and suspicion that he had received from the king's education since he was a child.

King Phil was pacing irritably. He has been moody recently, making the servants tremble and fearful when they saw him.Queen Isa also treated him a little colder, and the two were often relatively silent, which was really meaningless.An invisible chasm separated them, with the king on one side and the queen on the other.

The once gentle king completely disappeared in the long river of time.Queen Isa, who once loved the king, also gradually disappeared.The love between them, at first, thought it would last forever, but who would have thought that the relationship slowly faded away, and in the end it was like colored glaze scattered all over the place, and all the brilliance of the past faded away.

King Phil had a headache, and the disadvantages of Wangcheng's army became more and more obvious.He didn't know and didn't want to know why everything became like this.He said loudly toward the door: "Go and invite Scar, Bu Luo and other princes to come."

The servants standing outside the door responded respectfully: "King, Prince Ska and Prince Arizona left the royal city yesterday. Prince Bu Luo and other princes are sick at home, and some are still hunting in the hunting grounds of the palace. Do you want to go and call Prince Buro and the others?"

"Kacha!" The sound of the broken porcelain was so obvious.The guard guarding the door couldn't help but wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He put down his hands and kept his original posture waiting for the king's order.

After a long time, the king came from the door with a weary voice, saying, "Forget it. Get back, and leave no one around my room."

The attendant withdrew.

Outside the window, a long bell was rung, and there was a beautiful cloud in the sky.King Phil was almost bewildered.

He knew in his heart that the day when the king city was breached would come soon.He is not proficient in combat, and he doesn't want to struggle. He almost thinks to himself that they are all from the Principality of Eaton. At least he didn't let the country be destroyed by himself.

He smiled self-deprecatingly, as if the strength of the rage had been drained from him.The look in his eyes was gloomy, and his whole body appeared in a state of emptiness, and his energy was slowly draining from him.He already has a few gray hairs on his head, and he has been really exhausted recently.

The descendants of this generation of offshoot royal families are not very promising, and they are still pretending to be deaf and dumb in this situation, they just don't want to face it, that's fine.But there is still time to have fun and go to the hunting ground!There are also those who are called sick, and this is called sick at a really good time!King Phil's eyes were full of sarcasm, and he half-covered his eyes to calm down.

Prince Arizona...... The king doesn't know how to evaluate him.He simply didn't think about him, just stared at the clouds in the sky.

It's so beautiful, the fiery red fire clouds, the golden pink and white clouds, and the blood-red sunset.Looking far away from here, it seems that you can see the cruel battlefield filled with gunpowder.King Phil thought boredly, wondering how Duke Payne would repay him this time?The last action failed, and he didn't bother to plan the next time.

After all, the capital is almost lost.

A girl with a ponytail hadn't wiped off the blood on her face. She wiped her hands on her clothes casually, hurried into the shed, and shouted, "Celia, I have a letter from you!"

Celia stopped the pen in her hand, and she was recording the stock of medicines.She smiled and got up to take it and thanked the girl. The girl had a pair of bright eyes. She said lively: "It's a small matter, but it's just that you can still receive the letter in such a mess. This sender must be very important to you, right?"

Before Celia could answer, she picked up a bottle of wine, shook it, and said with a smile: "Actually, I came here to get this! I'm still waiting there, I have to go back and help!" He went out in a hurry.

Celia stood where she was, was taken aback for a moment, and finally smiled.

Celia was opening the letter.Unfolding the letter paper, the beautiful handwriting came into view.The expression on Celia's face was very happy.

The letter was sent to her by her friend Chris.Also, who doesn't have a few friends yet.

Chrissy's tone was always gentle. She first asked Celia if she was doing well, and then chatted about some miscellaneous things. In the end, she said angrily that if she hadn't chosen to go with those people, they might We can stay together forever and become priestesses.

*********************

Payne was sorting out his uniform, which was a neat black military uniform.He fastened all the buttons slowly, and then put on a girdle outside. The dark black belt trimmed with gold thread was fastened around his body snugly.Finally, he put on the hat. In the middle of the hat was a bright blue star surrounded by several small stars.This is considered the highest military rank and is the symbol of the commander-in-chief of the entire army.

When he raised his head again, there was no expression on his face, calm and calm, extremely powerful, his body was imbued with the aura of fighting for many years, his eyes were beating dark blue flames, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, unexpectedly It's full of malice.

He has already found out that the driving force behind Slant's injury before was the deeply hidden Saxi Kingdom.In other words, under the circumstance that these forces did not communicate with each other by mistake, they succeeded in counting Duke Payne once, although Duke Slanter was the one who was injured in the end.

Since this Sassi country just happened to bump into it, don't blame him for being rude.He was about to go out when someone pushed the door open, and Slant, who was also in military uniform, came in.When he saw Payne, his eyes lit up and he walked over quickly.

Payne smiled and walked forward, and Slant also smiled: "Let's go." The two walked out together.

Slant still played as Payne's military adviser.The army he brought himself was integrated into Payne's army, so he had to travel with the army to strengthen the army.Because he is really not good at fighting, but he has a flexible mind and a changeable strategy. Together with Payne, he can often come up with surprising and winning tactics. In addition, he himself is a duke like Payne, so it is not easy to hold some low-level positions. .In the end, he simply gave him the name of military division.

But despite this, what he enjoys is the same as Payne's right to be a general.In the beginning, the army brought by the two was not easy to get along with, and each had criticisms, but after several battles, the army was completely united, and the two dukes were more sincerely convinced, and those who were not convinced were also sincerely convinced.

If it was said that Payne was known as the Duke of the East in the past, and the guards in the army respected him, then the performance of the Duke of Slant was unexpected.The situation on the battlefield changed instantly, but the two dukes cooperated tacitly, commanded properly, and achieved the greatest victory with the least loss. They couldn't help admiring them from the bottom of their hearts.

Not to mention the time when the arrows were blocked last time, the guards believed even more that their lord was a true best friend, with deep affection, and there would be no gaps, so the morale of the troops became more unified, and both armies trusted each other with confidence, so it was a success. an army.

The army is assembled.After hearing the headcount report, Duke Payne met Slant's eyes for a moment.Slante nodded and smiled, and Payne nodded to indicate that he was ready to go.

The mighty army is going to the Volt front.Today's sunset is almost blood-red, and Slante is riding a horse, shrugging his shoulders lazily. He has a longbow behind him, a saber around his waist, and hidden weapons and arrows in his sleeves. He is well armed.Duke Payne only had a long sword tied around his waist, and he rode beside Slant.

The two chatted a few words about the current situation casually, but they looked at each other while talking, and just smiled, probably the kind of smile that is really good when you are there.

The sound of horseshoes rattling.Many horseshoes gathered together to form a meaningful tune, like a hymn.It doesn't sound as tragic as going to the battlefield, but it seems like you are going to complete some glorious mission.

Slanter was distracted.

For some reason, the images of Payne's previous pre-war speeches spread out in his mind.

Payne's expression was stern, but his voice was impassioned, so contradictory and harmonious.The densely packed guards and knights in the audience all had serious and adoring expressions, and their eyes were filled with fiery light!That was a burning will to fight, that was aroused blood.

At that time, Slant looked at the handsome and sharp Duke Payne who was looking forward to the military, and sighed in his heart: Yes, that is the one I like and the one I love.
