Tyrant Code

"What to do, City Lord? Those damned mercenaries are going to die... If this continues, if we can't wait for support, those dead bodies will fill up the moat, and then we will really—"

On the front of Solei fighting against the mercenaries, the servant asked the Lord Solei worriedly.

Since the Pope made the news, countless mercenaries have come here one after another.Like hungry wolves and leopards, they desperately attacked Solei.

What are those mercenaries?Massacre civilians, rob villages, and burn the originally fertile land to scorched earth...

This group of mercenaries is the most unreasonable and vicious group of people in the Western Continent, otherwise they would not be willing to do anything as long as they are paid.

The pope sent such a group of people to bite Soledu, is it really old and confused? !

At this moment, Lord Suo Lai and his servants are waiting on the watchtower to observe the battle situation on the battlefield, and the scene in front of them is definitely not optimistic.

As far as they could see, the city defense army retreated steadily, and the group of mercenaries brought some guns, ready to attack if they couldn't attack—they were a bunch of lunatics!

"I know what you said! Do you still need to emphasize it in my ear? The key now is to find a way to keep Suo Lei!"

The lord of Suole City gritted his teeth, and what he saw was a scene like purgatory on earth... His legs had already started to swing.

In the final analysis, he is just a nobleman shadowed by his ancestors.It was only because he was the only son in the family that he inherited the title. Unexpectedly, he, an extremely mediocre guy, became the lord of Solei...

Because he has no ability, he cannot manage his own power here, which is exactly in line with the Pope and King's wishes.But he never expected that such an idle job would threaten his life one day.

He is not very concerned about whether Soleil can return to the control of the Holy See, but that gang of mercenaries roams around various countries all the year round, and there is no kingly law in their eyes. If he, a delicate nobleman, falls into the hands of those people, Paying a large amount of ransom is still good, I'm afraid he might lose his life.

Therefore, Suo Lai is here, so is his wealth and life.

Lord Suo Lai gritted his teeth, as if he had made a major decision——

"Let's fight, continue to fight for me? Now what can I do other than this? Pass my password, let the guards who protect me go out, and fight with the city defense army! The city is alive, and the city is gone. Not alive!"

His attendant seemed to have never expected that his city lord would have such ambition, and he was stunned for a long time before he stumbled and said:

"But...my lord...that is your personal soldier! If...I mean, if those traitors really capture the city, maybe you can still leave under their escort!"

The servant's trembling tone made the city lord feel angry for a while.

"Don't you understand what I say? If you want to run, run yourself! If you don't run, stay with me and continue fighting!"

Lord Suo Lai growled at the servant.Apparently he couldn't keep his cool these days either.However, even though he felt as if he was about to faint from looking at the tragic scene in front of his eyes, he still persisted.

"Then should I transfer the first team or the second team? The first team does not have many people, but they are all elites. I think it is safer to keep them by your side—"

"What the hell was wrong with me in my last life, with you... don't you understand what I mean? Send me out! I'll tell the whole damn thing! Everyone! Everything! Can you hear me? Do you understand Seranka? Fuck!"

The Lord Suo Lai could no longer maintain the dignity of a nobleman, and couldn't help but swear.

Following his order, the guards also joined the battlefield.But that's just a drop in the bucket, and the situation hasn't changed much.

"So these are Seranka's soldiers? Where did these little chickens come from? I can see that their muscles have grown to their brains and buttocks. Otherwise, why are there no strength in their hands?"

The head of the mercenary held his giant sword while harvesting the enemy's head ruthlessly, and at the same time he was able to taunt the opponent with ease.

"Isn't it? How are these kittens and puppies worthy of our efforts? Why do I feel like we are bullying a kid who is still wearing crotch pants?... Hey, look at the one standing on the city wall, Is he the city lord of Suo Lai? Sure enough, he is a pretty boy, looking at his unweaned appearance—"

The people around the mercenary leader also took up the conversation and humiliated Solai's soldiers.

It has to be said that the experience of the mercenaries on the battlefield is indeed far more than that of the city defense army, which may not necessarily fight once in ten years.The mercenaries even knew how to turn on the taunting mode, using a steady stream of trash and swear words to disrupt the position of the city defense army.It's a pity that Solai's soldiers who were overly stimulated ignored the strength gap between the enemy and us and faced up to the difficulties, but they fell right into the opponent's arms.

Don't the mercenaries have tactics?Of course they have.Their tactical coordination is even more delicate and flexible than the regular city defense army.

What's more, in addition to the experience of fighting against the enemy, the mercenaries also possess strengths that ordinary Solai soldiers can hardly compete with.

The soldiers of the city defense army who march forward fearlessly often fall into the enemy's trap before they have time to slash and kill a few enemies, and then their heads are broken off by the sword swung by the opponent.

Their blood splattered everywhere, turning the former holy city of Sole into a bloody city surrounded by corpses.

Just when the large troops of the city defense army were surrounded by mercenaries and were staggering and retreating——

In the gray twilight, a thin layer of shimmer faintly refracted in the distance of the horizon.

When the twilight was approaching, people were surprised to find that it was a strange army.The so-called twilight is just because they are all wearing silver-white armor, holding silver-white long swords in their hands, and the flags fluttering with the sound of their horseshoes are spotless, with a simple cross drawn on it——

"...My Grandpa Holy Master." The lord of Suo Lai almost dropped his jaw in shock, and almost jumped up on the spot, "Is that the Knights Templar?!"

The silver and white armor, and that flag...it must be right!It was the Knights Templar he had heard about in historical stories since he was a child!The most legendary and mysterious knight organization in the Western Continent was once the strongest shield and sharpest sword of the Holy See. Although it has been assigned by the royal family in name, in fact, apart from a few special kings, the Holy See Even the Knights of the Templars have no good face towards the royal family.In short, this is a god-level foreign aid that even the king may not be able to shout!

God, what the hell is going on here?

Could it be that the Knights Templar could not bear to be slaughtered by mercenaries because the Knights Templar thought that Sole was once the "Holy City" anyway?

If that's the case...

City Lord Suo Lai only felt half of his hanging heart let go.He reached out to wipe the corners of his eyes, and wiped away the hot tears that flowed out - if his servant saw it, he would definitely make a fuss again.

"Hey, you—" City Lord Suo Lai subconsciously turned his head and wanted to say a few words to the attendant beside him to share his excitement at the moment, but he realized that there was no attendant beside him .

no?This person really ran away?The city lord was very angry, so he randomly caught a soldier on the city wall to question the whereabouts of the servant.

"Didn't you say that you want all the guards to go down to help the city defense army repel the enemy? The servant said, he thinks what you said is very reasonable. Instead of spreading the only troops to gamble on the possibility of surviving, it is better to use all your strength to fight against the enemy." Kill all the enemies—as long as Suo Lai is not broken, you must be safe..." The little soldier said tremblingly, this was the first time he had come into contact with a big man like the city lord, "so he followed your personal guards Let's go to the front line together..."

Lord Suo Lai was dumbfounded.

He subconsciously opened his eyes wide, and involuntarily turned his sights to the battlefield that he felt disgusted just by looking at it even more.His brain stopped working at this moment, and any thinking was meaningless, only his ears were buzzing—probably affected by the splashing cannon just now.

"He, this...how..."

The Lord Suo Lai was speechless for a moment, then suddenly rushed to the edge of the city wall and began to call out the servant's name loudly.Before, he was acting like a city lord, even though he was afraid, he didn't show any ugliness, but now he was pawing at the wall and shouting hysterically, crying while crying, his expression was not much different from that of a dead relative up.

Fortunately, the Knights Templar is really powerful.

The Templar knights recited magic, and golden streamers appeared on the silver-white swords, and they cleaned up the mercenaries who were still extremely arrogant just like chopping melons and vegetables.

This is absolute victory with less, but it is also crushed by absolute strength.As I said before, being willing to go out and not having a bottom line are the two major characteristics of mercenaries, but their third major characteristic is to know the current affairs, and they do not have the integrity that a regular army should have in the face of a situation that is bound to lose.So after a battle was fought, the mercenaries ran and surrendered, and lost completely.

Warren has silver hair, like a bright moon, observing the battlefield with cold eyes. After winning, he didn't look very happy. Instead, he gestured to his subordinates, meaning stop here, He will no longer clean up the mess for Solai's city defense troops.

On the other hand, Lord Solei didn't bother talking to Warren.He dug out his blood-stained servant from the sea of ​​blood and corpses. Fortunately, he was still alive, so he hurriedly transported him to the military doctor for rescue.

At least, the former "Holy City" Solai is still firmly within the territory of Celanca.

The farce of Soledo ended quietly after the Knights Templar intervened.

Frighteningly fast.

For so many years, the Knights Templar, which has been out of people's sight, once again showed people what is called the highest level of knights in the world.Wherever the silver armor goes, thousands of troops retreat.And the tactical literacy shown by Commander Warren in battle is far higher than people's imagination-that is to say, the Knights Templar is an invincible army.

... But what is it that makes this army that has been silent for so many years show its fangs again?

The king was the first to sense that something was wrong.This is not only due to his good eyes and ears in the capital, but also to his keen intuition.

"Have the Knights Templar found a new master?" he muttered to himself. "No, that's impossible. Could it be—"

The name of the Duke of Demont appeared in his mind, but this guess was vetoed by himself in the next second.

If the Knights of Santa cared so much about the so-called "pure royal blood", then it should have expressed it when the Duke of Demont had just returned to the country.Assuming there is a potential connection between them, it has been hidden for so many years, and there is no need to expose it at this point in time.

Where is Soleil?The former holy city is now just an ordinary city.After the Knights Templar intervened, the most intuitive impact was to give the Pope a head-on blow, but this blow successfully hurt the Pope's roots.

The wealth accumulated in the treasure house of the Holy See was almost squandered, the pope's power was greatly reduced, and he lost the capital surrounded by the minor nobles.And the bishops and clergy who stood on his side dedicated most of their wealth to this war, and even borrowed money from foreign businessmen to support the pope-these efforts were all in vain.Even if they didn't say anything on the face, they were full of resentment in their hearts.

When the news of the defeat of the mercenaries came back to the Vatican, the Pope's expression was calmer than anyone imagined. He never seemed to panic——

"So that's it." He even smiled, "It seems that my speculation is indeed correct... This is the deepest hidden enemy."

Sure enough, the Knights Templar already had a master.

The Pope turned the gemstone ring between his fingers, turned his head sideways, half of his smooth outline was immersed in the shadows, and the brilliant light projected from the glass window beside him made his smile a little mysterious.He was wearing a divine robe, and his indifferent appearance was like a deity who came into the world. It seemed that as long as he took a look at him, thousands of tongues would spontaneously sing praises in his mind.

His men were startled and frightened, and they all looked helplessly at the Pope from afar.They were very surprised to find that the Pope was not defeated by the successive unfavorable circumstances, but he seemed to be getting younger and younger. Seeing his appearance, who would have thought that he was already in his 60s?

Such a transformation can only be associated with one word, miracle.

And recently the pope's mind has become more and more mysterious.It used to be that everyone could understand what he was saying, but now, most of the time, he was just immersed in his own thoughts, and even the bishops who had been with him for many years could not guess what he meant.

...How can such a person continue to lead the Holy See towards revival?

Just when the people below were so slanderous, the Pope suddenly stood up and took a few steps forward leisurely.The sound of footsteps without hesitation echoed under the high dome, and the Pope's eyes were full of splendor.

"Don't worry, everyone." The Pope suddenly explained, "We have all the information we need to know. Now, the initiative is still in our hands... just wait and see."

A certain bishop beside him couldn't help but said in a bitter tone: "But, Your Excellency, the most important thing now is to stabilize the king's side..."

"The king won't do anything to us." The Pope shook his head slightly, "Oh, human nature is like this, only when a stronger opponent appears, will we stop fighting and actively seek cooperation... Although His Majesty the King has nothing to do with politics, He is outstanding, not to mention possessing no magical talent, but he is proficient in tactics and is the best at judging the scale. That's why I hit it off with him back then. Back then, he didn't disappoint me. I believe that now he is even more unlikely to let me down. disappointment--"

The Pope laughed slightly as he spoke.

All the people around him were confused and confused.

After the Pope finished speaking so swearingly, within a few hours, a low-key, ordinary-looking messenger came to visit the Holy See secretly with a letter bearing the king's official seal.

*

king's court.

Atricia, who had recovered from her headache without any medicine, lazily nestled in the recliner beside her, while Gordo listened to Mr. Roman's work report with a listless face.

"What's wrong with you?" Atricia asked curiously, "Why did I get better, but you are like this?"

Goldo: "..."

One is that his real life experience caused him too much stimulation, and the other is that Captain Warren was too excited after Gordo finally let go——Recently, Captain Warren dragged him to the Knights Templar every day Hold a small meeting and introduce him to the various backbones in the regiment, as well as all the people who are familiar with the knights.I don't know why, but Demont noticed the actions of Captain Warren. Demont was a little wary at first, but after hearing the ins and outs of the incident, Demont got together with Warren as if he had been beaten. , to discuss major plans.

...God knows how much they want to usurp the throne.

Gordo, their titular leader who was pushed out to fight for the throne, said he had yet to adjust.

Goldo stopped Roman's report and asked Mr. Roman to go out first, leaving him and Atricia alone.

And then Atrichia saw that rare, troubled look on the face of his brilliant pupil and lover.This kind of expression is common to Atricia, and it is on the students of the seminary. Every time he calls those little brats into the office to ask questions, those little brats also look at him with this confused and helpless look, like a The ignorant and poor lost lamb can't figure out where the correct answer is.

"... Art." Goldo took a deep breath, then sighed softly, and only choked out this sentence for a while, "I have something I want to ask for your opinion."

Yatricia: "Well, you say."

Goldo: "What do you think of... me being a king? I mean, am I king material?"

Atricia: "..."

Atricia: "So you want to rebel?"

Goldo: "Well. Almost."

Atricia: "Any plans?"

Goldo: "It can only be said that it is in preparation."

Atrium: "Are there enough people?"

Goldo: "I think it is enough, but there will be more in the future."

Yatricia: "..." He fell into a strange silence again.

"If my common sense has not been distorted, plotting a rebellion should be something that needs to be kept secret, right?" Atrium squeezed out every word from between his teeth, which shows that he is It was incredible, "How could you say it so casually?"

"So I'm really not suitable, right?" Gordon suddenly became happy.

At the next moment, Atricia gave him a negative answer: "However, in view of our relationship, I don't think I'm an outsider. So, it's okay if you are willing to tell me this secret——As for your I can answer your question with certainty."

"You're very fit to be a king. And, you'll be a good king."
