Chapter 289 The Dam Bursts. Marching Into the Gate of Hell (5K)
The several high priests standing next to the corpse sighed slightly after flipping through it. Avery walked down the steps slowly, and a holy force gradually gathered in his hand, but a hand quietly held his hand down.
The archbishop looked at Count Fernado, who shook his head slightly, with a sense of surprise. Then the archbishop understood in his heart, watching the heroic spirit of the warrior float up from his body, and in the silent prayer in his heart, he led him to heaven.
At this moment, the sound of a pin drop in the hall could be heard, and everyone's breathing was suppressed at this moment.
The Duke picked up the blood-stained letter on the ground with a face as heavy as water. While flipping through it, his chest seemed to have been hit hard. At this moment, his breathing was extremely dull.
The zombies in the royal capital suddenly rushed out like a tide, and the 300,000 noble coalition forces who were picking up fruits were very scattered and could not form a real situation at all.
Indeed, this was the original idea of His Majesty, and the situation was also within the plan. But there was a little accident.
Although the letter did not mention it, His Majesty would never leave a written record of such a thing.
But the Duke could guess that this tide of corpses was definitely not caused by His Majesty.
Because it was too early. And His Majesty was with the Thornbirds
He had already fallen into the black tide with the 300,000 coalition forces.
Under the gaze of everyone, Grand Duke Yongfeng took back the letter in his hand and slowly closed his eyes.
He saw two paths ahead.
The first one, if he stayed in the Blue Water City now, he would definitely be the fisherman. And after His Majesty's death, Rodunk would completely fall into the hands of the 'Wensinger' family, and there would be no need to worry about His Majesty's sudden regret.
Of course, there is another option - as long as he leads a part of the elite knights to solve His Majesty's siege, the plan can get back on track.
But he doesn't like these two paths. Because the original dream and plan were not the results he hoped to see.
In the heavy and depressing atmosphere of the hall, Grand Duke Adeline suddenly opened his eyes and broke the dullness: "Why panic? Luo Dunke has experienced everything."
Looking at the sharp eyes that swept across the crowd, the anxious nobles suddenly calmed down a little.
After a moment, Grand Duke Adeline looked at his son, took a deep breath, and made his decision.
His loud voice resounded in the hall.
"An earthquake collapsed the dilapidated walls of the capital, and the remaining black tide forces rushed out in this shock. At this time, the East Territory has been shrouded in haze again." The Grand Duke continued: "And those greedy noble coalition forces only care about harvesting treasures from all over the East Territory, and are not prepared for this."
In this announcement, the nobles were shocked. The sound of inhaling echoed in the hall.
After a few minutes of silence, Grand Duke Adeline suddenly roared.
"Rodunks!"
"Once, the 200,000 coalition forces of the Kingdom of Rodunk were stationed in the Blue Water City and were besieged by the Black Tide. The Thornbirds came to fight to rescue them!"
"Now, the 300,000 coalition forces are besieged in Darkens"
"History has repeated itself! And this time, someone must stand up!"
Grand Duke Adeline's eyes suddenly swept across the nobles of Rodunk again, and finally across the nobles of Elda and Landry.
In these eyes, some people looked directly into the eyes of the Grand Duke, with high morale. Some people avoided the gaze and lowered their heads. Some people touched their chins and their eyeballs began to move.
Looking at these people with different thoughts, the Grand Duke slowly nodded his head - the situation was just as he thought, these nobles never let him down.
At this moment, His Majesty Phillips's many words echoed in Adeline's mind. He understood that with his stubborn ideas, he really couldn't bring everyone together to fight against this doomsday disaster together.
The plan proposed by his close friend since childhood is indeed the most beneficial to the future of the Kingdom of Rodunk.
But this time, he wants to do it according to his own will!
He opened his mouth and told such a history and such a covenant.
"Twelve hundred years ago, the northern nomads were like the haze covering the sky, killing your men and sons, enslaving your daughters and children. The iron hoofs kept moving south, piling up one Jingguan after another."
"In this holy war for survival, the Kingdom of Rodunk was first established in Dakens, vowing to forever fight against the calamities from the north. And Landry and Elda also vowed to give eternal support to this northern shield"
"History has reappeared, the north is shrouded in a dark haze, and the three countries join hands and stand shoulder to shoulder again!"
"The King of Rodunk is calling for warriors from all over the world! The Prince of Elda is waiting for rescue! The lords of Landry are looking forward to the kingdom's flag flying on the battlefield!"
Grand Duke Yongfeng raised his arms and shouted, and no one was thinking about the commission at this moment, because as the Grand Duke said, they were fighting for survival, and their king and prince were calling them. This is the mission and honor that nobles should have!
And a true noble should not betray the covenant that has been grudged for thousands of years!
Earl Leiden suddenly stepped forward, and the nobles of Eldar followed him and said, "The Eldar will never abandon their prince and friends. I will lead all the lords to follow the banner of the Wind Singer! The follow-up troops of the kingdom will also come to support us soon!"
"Your Excellency Duke Adeline." Duke Jumbo 'Jillian' suddenly stepped forward and said: "His Majesty Rodenk summoned the Landry people with a covenant. Landry will never give up on him at this most critical moment. Allies. Landry will send an army to Clearwater City to supplement the military strength here. My three flat-bottomed ships are now docked in the port. They can carry the forward troops through the sea fog and sail in the shallows. Enter the river mouth and arrive at the center of the Black Tide! Afterwards, when my ships heading to Landry Capital return to the clear water, they can also go to the Black Tide to meet the disintegrated troops of the noble coalition! "
At this point, the nobles from the three countries stepped forward one after another, and in their speeches, the next strategy took shape.
Grand Duke Yongfeng will mobilize 3,000 Iron Wall Knights, and the Clearwater Great Temple will also dispatch 3,000 'Glory' Templar Knights and a group of priests. Fifty thousand noble troops will follow the Duke's iron heel and take a boat to the center of the Kuroshio. While rescuing the large aristocratic coalition forces scattered around Chishan and Darkens, they will redirect these forces to Chishan's defense line to complete the real defense.
The Duke's eldest son, Earl Charlie, will stay in Bishui City to lead the military affairs. Elda and Landry's subsequent troops will arrive in Bishui City one after another to replenish the strength here, and go to Chishan in batches to stabilize the defense line.
As for George, this special person who has just taken on the title of 'Knight of Divine Grace', this future successor of Grand Duke Yongfeng, like Earl Charles, is the seed of Narodunk's future.
The more than a thousand troops he had left in his hands could no longer influence the battle situation ahead. The big fish he fished out in Bishui City also proved that there was a need for a real Holy Temple with experience.
Therefore, the Duke wanted to keep him in Bishui City as a backup force and as the future fire of Rodenk. When the battle situation on the frontline is completely out of control, or perhaps both His Majesty and the Duke accidentally die on the battlefield, he will become the last anchor of Blue Water City, helping 'Charlie Winsinger Dakens' I to let Rodunk survive the post-war crisis. disaster.
George, who was listening, couldn't help but close his eyes.
Today's situation was already within his expectation. Being able to confirm this now, it can be said that the time is just right, and it can be said that he has completely given up.
It was already early September, and it took more than a month for the forces lingering around the vortex to completely sink into the center of the vortex.
He could tell that the dream of Rodenk mentioned by the Duke a few days ago was not spun by the Duke, but by the sinister Phillips.
The Duke did not fully support Rodenk's sinister plan to kill 300,000 noble coalition troops. In his opinion, human beings should use all their strength to deal with the remaining black tide like a lion fighting a rabbit.
What the Duke prefers is for all human beings to unite together to survive this unprecedented disaster.
Vic White's vision is indeed unique. He chose the most correct person to guard this blue water city-state and resist the black tide.
And this person did unite the forces of various countries, but he also happened to send them into the tiger's mouth.
George could already guess who caused the so-called earthquake.
The outpouring of the dark tide in the royal capital was only a little ahead of schedule, but it had such a huge chain reaction. His timing and judgment were perfect, which was the finishing touch of this conspiracy.
George opened his eyes, and he saw the surging flood formed by human troops rushing forward towards the whirlpool.
He stood in the center of the flood and tried his best to build a dam to block it. But in the end, even he himself was washed away to pieces, and even the 50,000-ton salvage ship he had worked so hard to build was swept into the center of the whirlpool.
Indeed, the Duke's current arrangement is simply a God-given opportunity for him. Martin and the remaining one thousand people in his hands will then command the rotten skins and vultures without any hindrance. One group will be responsible for plundering supplies onto the ship, and the other group will be responsible for driving the residents southward.
Although Tanya and others fell into the whirlpool, they were still able to break out of the siege before the blood moon. It's just that they couldn't think of a way to make the noble troops retreat as originally planned.
They can no longer retreat. If the new army can escape more than half of the chaotic fog, it is already a victory.
So he didn't like this strategy, because it meant that he failed completely in front of 'Aloysius'.
So like the Duke, he also has more choices.
But the difference is that he knew about it earlier and had more time to think about it.
He suddenly took a step forward and said: "Lord Adeline! Please forgive me for not being able to comply with your decision."
The crowd looked sideways and the hall was in an uproar.
The Duke looked into his firm eyes and suddenly guessed his decision.
George said righteously: "As a vassal of the Windsinger, as a subject of His Majesty, and as the leader of the Knights of the Black Lake, I cannot stay in Blue Water City. And Lord Avery, feeling the call of the Seven Gods, came to In the dark tide, I was stripped of my worldly clothes, and the Pope named me a knight of grace. My mission and glory should be at the center of the dark tide!"
This is a high-sounding reason and a declaration that a knight should make.
These words made the morale in the hall even better, and the Duke could not refuse them.
Indeed, keeping George in Bishui City was due to his two small selfish motives. One for Na Luodunke's future, and the other for his newly married daughter.
The situation was no longer the same as before. The changes in the capital made the situation extremely complicated. The moment the Duke decided to keep George, what he thought in his mind was what Tanya and Brenda said.
Perhaps this black tide was not as simple as everyone thought. Although this guess was too crazy and too incredible. But he should leave a way out for Rodunk, so that his son-in-law would not have to take risks with him.
However, as he had thought, his daughter's husband may not be a close person, but he must be someone who can stand up at a critical moment. A true knight.
This is the declaration and awareness that a knight should have, and the Duke could not refuse.
At the moment when Grand Duke Adeline agreed, Bishop Avery, who had been calm and seemed to be watching from the sidelines, suddenly opened his eyes.
He looked at Wallace and said, "You take people with Sir George."
This gentle word was full of an order that could not be disobeyed. It was like asking a servant to follow the young master.
And the person he ordered was an archbishop with the same position as him.
But Archbishop Wallace was happy to do it, nodded happily, and stared at this knight of grace who was very likely to build the second temple after the battle of the capital!
This pre-war meeting began and ended on the day of the wedding.
The lords went back to mobilize their troops. The Duke and George took a small amount of baggage and boarded the fleet of the Duke of Treasure at dusk that day.
Six thousand five hundred knights and a hundred followers of the great adventurer slowly boarded the various ships. After arranging all matters, the three people with the highest status in the fleet came to the cabin on the third floor of the building ship.
Behind them, there were the great adventurer, the demon slayer, and a person who held an important "top secret" following
"Sir George, have we met somewhere?" Looking at the ancient gold coin in George's hand, the Duke of Treasure Gillian rubbed the big ring on his index finger with his thumb, looking thoughtful.
He felt that he was not habitually trying to build a relationship. This person's eyes were too familiar to him.
Not far away, Rosgerd, who was drinking tea and listening to Brenda telling Alexander a story, touched his nose and pretended not to hear it.
Looking at the curious Duke of Treasure in front of him, George smiled and did not answer. He came to the Duke by the window.
This was the first time that the two of them compared heights at close range. George estimated that his father-in-law was probably about two meters tall.
After touching his head, George stopped secretly squinting and looked out the window following the Duke's gaze.
In the afterglow of dusk, the lights on the shore were already lit. The crowd at the port was noisy, and the Glory God of War troops sent by Avery to see them off held up torches of divine grace. They formed a long dragon on the shore and dispelled all the fog around the port.
A horse suddenly came and ran in the center of the temple team. The bride on the horse had not yet taken off her wedding dress. She looked at the big ships that were about to start and wandered anxiously on the shore.
Looking at his daughter, the Duke sighed secretly. Mo Bu said nothing.
At this time, the man next to the Duke suddenly whistled, and finally attracted the searching eyes.
George reached out and took out the pair of "bracelets" in his arms and threw them out of the window.
The bracelets drew a track in the sky, and the afterglow of the evening sprinkled a touch of red and gold on them.
The bracelets that were bound to fall into the water suddenly flashed a dazzling holy mark and fell into the arms of the bride.
At this moment, Sophia and the Duke of Treasure had a thunder in their heads.
"Mr. Jillian." George winked at his bride and said to Jillian, "I think you recognized the wrong person."
The ship started, and the fleet set sail.
George looked at the silly bride on the shore, threw his flying kiss, and shook his arms.
The fog gradually covered the ship. The lookout in the top-floor observation room and the sailors in the observation tower were holding the talisman in their hands, looking nervously at the surging river. In front of the big ship, there were several small boats leading the way. On the boats leading the way, huge torches of divine grace were burning. Wherever they passed, the fog was mostly dispelled, leaving a wide passage.
George in front of the window had a bright look in his eyes, looking at the port that had gone far away, and he couldn't help but lose his mind for a moment. He looked at the surging river under the ship and thought of the flood.
He finally jumped into the rushing flood after the dam collapsed.
And decided to add fuel to the flood.
Indeed, the destination of the flood was the huge black vortex. But he and the 500 Templars around him would become the powder kegs hidden in the flood. These powder kegs would blow the black vortex to pieces!
He would use these 500 people to exchange for the 330,000 people!
Of course, if more people can be brought along, there will be a greater chance of success.
‘Since this is what ‘Aloysius’ wants! Then I will make it happen! See if you are qualified to take what I give you! ! ’
Besiege Wei to save Zhao! This is what he will do next!
He finally knew what was calling him in the capital.
It was called a hornet’s nest.
He had poked this hornet’s nest!
"Lord Duke Adeline." Ignoring the livid face of the Duke of Treasure, George took a deep breath in the fresh air outside the window. He looked at his father-in-law with burning eyes.
"It's time to tell you my mission to come to the mortal world and the top secrets I have."
George looked out the window and said his shocking words.
"In that royal capital, there is a gate to hell. Lord Vic White once sent a great scholar to the black tide and served as a senior acolyte among the Mist Cultists." George looked at Rosgerd: "His name is 'Rathbone'"
In the duke's doubtful eyes, George gritted his teeth.
He cursed in his heart: ''Aloysius', this time, I'll let you win, and I'll help you dig this dam! '
'But don't regret it! '
