Proof of the Sun King

Chapter 254: , let them go

At night, above Turres Castle, a group of knights shouted loudly.

"Blood-red Duke conferred the head!"

"Blood-red Duke conferred the head!"

"Blood-red Duke conferred the head!"

The sea **** knights rode their war horses around the castle. The head of the flag officer held high the head of the Scarlet Duke, inspiring the defenders everywhere. The defenders in Turres Castle saw that the Scarlet Duke was dead, and their morale was high.

Outside the castle, the vampire army was gradually approaching the castle. When the vampire army attacked, it neither beat drums nor made a loud noise, and everything seemed so quiet.

A huge army of zombies and skeletons silently approached Turis Castle. What is quite strange is that this army is almost only composed of zombies and skeletons, and even the number of barren tomb guards is very small.

The army of undead gradually approached, and the army guarding the castle was still immersed in the joy of destroying the Scarlet Duke, without paying attention at all, only a few sergeants took out their long bows, ignited flames on the tips of the arrows, and shot them towards the opposite bank of the river.

"Hey~" This is what the defenders must do when defending at night. Every minute or two, rockets will be fired from the city wall to detect nearby movements.

The rocket fell, fell into the interior of the undead army, pierced the shoulder of a zombie, the corpse oil was ignited, and the zombie immediately turned to ashes in the flames.

"Enemy attack!" There was a shrill cry from the castle, and the human army immediately responded quickly. They regrouped. The serf archers drew their short bows, the pike infantry and swordsmen infantry gathered, and then Hordes of ranger knights.

The long confrontation allowed the defenders to form a quick response. When the ladder of the zombie army just reached the city wall, the defenders in the castle were fully prepared for battle.

A fierce war was inevitable. The difference was that after more than half an hour of fierce fighting, both Baudrillard and Francois felt strange, and even the serfs felt something was wrong.

The vampire's offensive looks fierce, but in fact, it is very weak. The large group of zombies and skeletons are indeed numerous, but after fighting for a period of time, the defenders find that the undead army has completely lost the figures of those senior soldiers. The powerful barren tomb guards, undead knights, and bloodthirsty ghosts all disappeared.

All that remains of their enemies are the endless hordes of corpses and skeletons.

The strength of these armies can even be crushed by serfs, because necromancers have extremely weak control over zombies or skeletons. As long as they receive any damage, these undead will immediately fall to the ground and lose control.

The more the serfs fought, the more confident they became, and the more they fought, the higher their morale, they firmly contained the momentum of the undead army on the city walls and gates. If Bodrick was not worried about traps and strictly forbidden to attack, the serfs even felt that they could These undead offal rushed to the bottom of the river to feed the fish.

"Open~ Cannon~~" Dwarf engineer Dugan shouted, the heavy cannon was activated, and a cannon flew out, blasting a straight line in the formation of the undead army, and dozens of zombies were blown to pieces.

No matter how you look at it, the defenders have the upper hand, but the undead have always maintained their current fueling tactics.

"The situation is very strange." In the inner castle, Baudrillard and François watched the battle surrounded by knights, and the Duke of Poldero said strangely: "Blood knights and bloodthirsty ghosts, bloodthirsty bats It's understandable that wolves don't fight, but vampires don't even have deserted tomb guards, right? I'll take the sea **** knight and lead a charge to solve these junk."

"I don't know, the Red Duke is dead. I don't know who is commanding these undead army now. It is difficult for me to judge whether the other party has other arrangements or a well-designed trap." Francois shook his head slightly.

The Duke of Winford is known as the enemy of the undead. He was defeated by the great necromancer Heinrich Kemmler. Francois knew very well that the vampires who had lost the Duke of Scarlet and the siege weapons were no longer capable of taking down the castle. The conditions are met, so Francois's idea is to consume, relying on high walls and city defenses, the undead will definitely collapse first.

The war entered a stalemate, and the battle on the city wall was very lively, but not tragic.

The night battle continued until dawn. After the first smear of fish belly white appeared on the side of the day, the undead army began to collapse and fully retreat. When Bodrick appeared on the city wall, an unbelievable scene happened in front of him.

The vampire army positions across the river were empty, all the troops were withdrawn, and the remaining undead chops were abandoned, lost control and turned into real corpses.

After a long night of fighting, the human defenders of the entire castle felt extremely tired, and they were unable to chase the vampire army. Bodrick ordered the corpses to be burned to clean up the battlefield.

Ryan also came. Baudrillard, Francois, Ryan, Julius and others looked at the vacated vampire camp and said nothing for a long time.

Julius said solemnly: "It looks like... the vampires are retreating?"

"No... From what I know about vampires, it doesn't seem like the other party would give up so easily. Even if they really plan to retreat, they won't do it this way." Francois was very strange: "Generally speaking, If the vampires plan to retreat, they will simply overwhelm all their troops to fight, and if they can't win, they will choose to use a large group of corpse tides and the Queen of Skeletons..."

Suddenly, François thought of something. He first looked up at the head of the Red Duke hanging on the banner of the city wall, then looked at Ryan, and then turned his attention to the vampire camp.

The duke's face changed greatly: "Oops! The vampires are not retreating, this is a strategic move forward, they want revenge, they want revenge for the Red Duke! Ryan, it's not good, the vampire army must be leading people to your territory. It's gone!!!"

Francois loved Suria very much, and the duke, who realized that his daughter was in danger, was even a little confused, his mouth was open for a long time, and his expression was anxious: "They must have set off overnight, damn, you are now empty of territory guards, we May not catch up with the undead."

"Quick! Let's gather the knights and go after them immediately. You helped me before, but now it's my turn to help you!" Duke Poldro also immediately realized that something was wrong, and he immediately said to his lieutenant, Sir Hoolf. : "Call all the knights immediately, we will directly force the army to chase the vampire army!"

"No." Ryan waved his hand to signal no need.

"Why??" Julius, who was worried about his sister, asked in confusion first.

"Let them go." Ryan showed a meaningful expression: "They can't reach my territory."

"Never, never, never, never come back."

…………

The time came to the afternoon of the second day.

Inside the Sharon Forest, in the wooded valleys, in the open courtyard, the banquet continues, grilled tuna steaks, delicious butterbeer, fresh cauliflower, these are common foods in the old world for Emperors and Guillimans It was a rare delicacy, and the Emperor even said that he hadn't tasted real beef for 20,000 years.

The clearings of the open-air courtyard were filled with all kinds of food debris, as if several griffins were crossing the border.

The sun shines through the forest on the wooden table, and the Emperor, Guilliman and Angron are discussing things.

"You said you trusted us, so you handed over the Great Crusade to us, and you have to return to Terra to continue your plan. When we asked what your plan was, you didn't trust us, so you didn't mention it, Instead, he deceived us with the so-called imperial truth." Angron took a gulp of butter beer and complained incessantly: "Father, you should be responsible for Horus' depravity and betrayal."

Guilliman's hands were trembling a little, the Ultramarine Primarch, the current Imperial Regent was looking forward to it, and then looked at his father with some trepidation, waiting for his answer.

The Emperor's face was as cold as the eternal permafrost in the far north, but he still spoke.

"The Gene Primarch is the life I used as my deputy and subordinate after I created it. I originally created you because I couldn't do it in too many affairs. I hope someone can help me." After a long silence, The emperor said.

Guilliman and Angron both nodded in understanding, and all Primarchs agreed on this.

"But as you know, something went wrong. When I created you, I used the power of the warp, which made my plan known by the Chaos Four Gods. After you were created, the Chaos Four The gods have unleashed a terrible warp storm and swept you all away." The Emperor picked up the coffee cup, added milk and a little sugar, and continued, "That's one of the reasons I launched the Great Crusade, you are mine. Children, it is also my proud work, I must get you back."

"After the Great Crusade, I will retrieve all of you who have grown up one by one, but many Primarchs have been deeply corrupted when they were swept away by the warp storm, such as Angron, I once had the butcher's nail on your body. I tried every means, but in the end, my doctor told me that unless I kill you, I can't remove the butcher's nail from your body." The emperor's face changed a little: "You have become a A lunatic, a total lunatic, but I can't kill the killer, I always think that maybe there will be another way in the future, and many primarchs are like this."

Angron and Guilliman looked sad, something had happened, and it had been so many years.

"And what about Horus? Among us, you trust him the most and like him the most. You also appointed him as the warmaster, but he eventually embarked on the road of betrayal and led half of the legion to betray." Kiri Mann continued.

"Horus was once the Primarch that I valued the most and had the most hope of inheriting my will." The Emperor remembered the heroic duel, and a trace of pain flashed across his face: "But he After all, I still couldn't understand my painstaking efforts, because that time, the Four Chaos Gods personally shot together, distorting his whole thought, and I still had an illusion that Horus did not betray me from a certain point of view, but He cannot stand against the full power of the Chaos Gods."

"I led the World Eater Legion to join Horus' team first." Angron said mockingly: "At that time, I was already insane, I just wanted to satisfy my bloodthirsty desire and revenge. "

Roboute-Guilliman thinks more.

The Emperor generously told his son the truth, which made him more enlightened. Before, he had always felt that his father regarded the primarchs as a tool, not a subordinate, but a tool, just like A file in the hand of a craftsman.

"You don't completely trust us, and you don't completely trust us. You only have a limited degree of trust in us, so you can safely leave us back to Terra to build the netway, but you don't want to reveal the secrets of the netway. , the only one you can fully trust is Malcador the Magicweave, your close comrade-in-arms." Guilliman's words hit the nail on the head.

"That's because it turns out that you are all unreliable. The only one who is truly reliable is Malcador, my friend, my closest comrade-in-arms, and my most trusted servant." The Emperor's words also pointed to the point: "It turns out that I was right, half of the primarchs chose to betray, and the lower half might be trustworthy after the test, but it was too late."

Guilliman and Angron both set their sights on Fugan who was locked in the instrument. Kaul, the great sage of the Mechanicum, was debugging the machine. Guilliman felt that Kaul must be eavesdropping on their conversation.

The atmosphere of this conversation made the two Primarchs feel very relaxed, and they had the feeling of opening the skylight to speak brightly, which made them feel very comfortable, and really felt like a father and son.

"Now that Fulgan is back, who's next? Father." Guilliman didn't want to talk about that.

"Vulkan is wandering outside the galaxy, and he has received my orders to return~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Clarkson has been recovered by me and is now being treated on Terra." The Emperor's face recovered again. That expressionless look: "He entered the Eye of Terror alone. Fortunately, he was not dead when I found him."

"A certain idiot who doesn't like to obey the traffic rules has been in the netway of Heida for 10,000 years and has not found an exit. If we want him to return, we must wait for us to repair the netway. Donne's whereabouts are temporarily unknown. I also It's not clear where he went, but he should be alive."

"Where's Ruth?" Guilliman was most concerned about the whereabouts of his brothers, and when he heard Ruth's name, Angron turned his head in disdain and a little embarrassment, and turned to his half roast chicken.

"Russ is here..." The emperor was waiting to say more, and a forbidden army came to the emperor's side: "Your Majesty, there is an army of tens of thousands of undead coming here, according to the current speed, two more They'll be near here in an hour."

"???" The Emperor frowned, and he set his eyes on Angron: "Didn't Ryan go to the front line to fight the vampire army?"

"Hey, my stupid brother, he obviously screwed things up. It seems that it's time for my brother to step in, hehe." Angron smiled nonchalantly, looking eager to try.

Guilliman thought about what he thought, this guy Angron couldn't wait to show his skills.

"Looks like someone doesn't want us to continue this symposium and banquet." The Emperor stood up, almost instinctively, as did Guilliman and Angron.

"Let's go, let's solve the problem, Angron, haven't you always hoped to have the opportunity to fight side by side with me?" The Emperor's sword burning with golden flames was unsheathed, and the Lord of Humanity said lightly.

"Of course, father."
