total conquest

Chapter 27 Gone
The city wall in front of Altdorf collapsed in a strong explosion. The city wall collapsed section by section, and the flying stones smashed into the crowd and buildings like hailstones. Huge smoke and dust instantly enveloped half of Altdorf City. Although the impact of the explosion was destroyed However, the houses closest to the city wall were all bulldozed, including the barracks that Zhang Hao once built.

Hans, who was drowsy at first, was awakened by the sudden explosion, and looked at the faint ruins in the smoke and dust with disbelief on his face, "It's really cruel, this is the first time that the city wall of Altdorf has been destroyed so thoroughly, okay Well, it turns out that the emperor boy used the griffin to get more people to be buried with him. It doesn't matter. Come on, let's stop here today, hmph! Enjoy this last night, my Majesty Carl, this will be a surprise Rewarded." Hans could feel the despair in Karl's heart, and it was the first time he experienced deciding the life and death of an emperor, which made Hans feel extremely happy.

At this time, Carl felt the same as Hans, but apart from despair, there was also pain in his heart. This is really a shame for the Roald family. Using the Rick Guard and Griffin Knight as bait, he wiped out the enemy at the cost of destroying the city wall , This is the most shameful day in the entire history of the empire. Karl will always remember it in his heart. The monstrous killing intent burned like a fire in Karl's eyes, "Sinners, all sinners, if I, Karl, can survive, I will kill you thousands Break!!" A powerful empire needs an iron-blooded king, otherwise no one would dare to challenge the emperor's dignity.

The smoke and dust slowly dissipated in the wind, and the places that could not be seen before became clear, and the places that seemed to be covered with a layer of film in the ears gradually became clear.Painful moans, cries and cries for help came from the ruins in front of them.Life is fragile, especially for humans.

All the defenders waited quietly. Facing the ruins in front of them, no one felt the joy of victory. Many of them lived at the foot of the city wall, farmed at the foot of the wall, painted on the wall, or Leaning lazily on the city wall and chatting aimlessly, facing the beasts and ferocious enemies in the outside world, the tall and thick city wall of Altdorf that has stood for a hundred years is like a strong warrior giving people peace of mind, but now, Facing the invincible enemy, Chengqiang completed his final mission, overwhelmed the enemy with his strong body, and fell asleep quietly.

Night came with the wind, and the cold wind blew past the ruins of Altdorf. The civilians in the palace were sent to clean up the battlefield, digging and searching carefully under the moonlight.

At this time, in the dark hall of the palace, Karl sat gloomyly on the throne, watching the mage of light and the medical doctor continuously treat an old man, and Robert and others also sat on the ground powerlessly.

Toke supported Old John's head with tears in his eyes, and kept wiping him the sweat from the pain on his face. Benny was covered with gauze-like hemostatics, and stood beside him with a blank expression. The magic power of the mage Not allowed to be wasted to anyone but Old John, Beanie was doomed to bear a hideous scar on his face.

The result of the treatment ended under the mage's dizziness and the therapist's gentle shaking of the head. Even the senior mage couldn't save Old John's life at this moment. Everyone knew it, but they didn't want to admit it.

Seeing people crowding up, Old John endured the pain and laughed, "Don't look at me with that look, I'm fine."

"Old guy, let you be brave again, it's very comfortable now." The witch hunter Chris squatted beside Old John, gently arranging the clothes on Old John's body with her hands.

"You are not much younger than him, Chris." Robert didn't know what to say to Old John, so he had to tease Chris, but Chris didn't talk back as usual, just smiled and ignored Robert, and the others didn't know what to say. What, time slowly passed by in this silent and depressing atmosphere, halfway through, Robert went out to lead the army to set up the battlefield for tomorrow morning.

"His Majesty Karl" Old John rested for a long time before he had the strength to break through the frozen space.

"Ah? Yes, I'm under John." Carl, who was wondering what to think, was called out by John.

"Give these two young men who have been following me to Li." John's body trembled with every word he said. It was obviously difficult for him to speak normally.

"No problem, Sir John, it's just..."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that Li will definitely come back, and the empire will not just collapse, cough cough cough!" Excited, John touched the wound, and the place that had already stopped bleeding was stained red again with a new tourniquet.

"Well!" Carl didn't say much, now he can only believe that Zhang Hao will come back, "Your Excellency, please rest here, tomorrow's war will be even more cruel, and when I come back again, I will bring you good news." Carl couldn't bear to see Old John died in his own eyes, so he found an excuse and went out. Except for Kristoke and Beanie, everyone else also found an excuse to leave.

"Chris, can I ask you one more thing?"

"Old man, are you still talking so much nonsense at this time?"

"Hehe" is still a familiar recipe "Take me to the highest garden in the palace, I want to see Altdorf again"

"it is good!"

Too many people lost sleep that night due to various reasons. Robert led the remaining less than 2000 troops to build a roadblock overnight. The entire city faced the ruins of the city wall and built five lines of defense, and Karl had ordered the throne to be set aside. Moving to the walls of the imperial city, the ministers also stood quietly behind Karl, waiting for the sun to rise.

"Huh!" A new offensive has been launched, and now there is no shortage of stones on the ground.

"Everyone leans on the bunker and is not allowed to come forward." Robert has already been stationed at the forefront.

Facing the whistling stones, Karl showed no fear at all. He just stared in the direction of the trebuchet. "The emperor of the empire will not surrender for any reason, let alone be afraid of flying stones. This shame will be a hundred times worse in the future." repay!"

The night is getting lighter.

"Uncle John, are you cold, may I add another coat for you?" Toke asked Old John cautiously, fearing that his voice would startle the old man.

"No, cough cough" Old John tremblingly was helped to the highest point in the entire city.

Feeling the whistling of the cold wind, Old John quietly listened to the call of the gods, took out a badge from his body, and put him into Tork's hands. The pain in his body made Old John's clothes that had just been dried by the wind drenched again .

"This is the badge of the Riding Sun Knight, with this you can join the Riding Sun Knights." Kris replaced Old John, who was speechless, and explained the meaning of the badge to Tok.

Old John nodded to Tok, took out a pair of gloves with difficulty, and handed him to Beanie.

Benny took it with both hands, and looked at Chris with doubts on his face.

"From now on, you are the new butler of the Prince's Mansion." Chris continued to answer without emotion.

Old John nodded with satisfaction, looked at the place where the sun was rising, and looked at the dawn that had just leaked out of the earth. He seemed to hear something, and stood up regardless of the pain of the wound. "Did you hear that? That's the horn of the blazing sun!" !" Could it be that the Riding Sun Knights returned from the river?Everyone hurriedly looked in the direction of Old John, only to see nothing but a ray of morning light. Looking back, Old John had fallen asleep on Chrissy's shoulder with a smile, no pain, no fatigue...
