Chapter 285: Defeat and Death

readx;

Covered in blood, Desion was clung to by Guillermo, the most valiant general of the Amsel formation, who not only killed one of Owen's mercenary men, but also resisted Bradley's army of 20,000 for nearly twenty minutes, and fell under his spear nearly thirty infantry, thirty elite infantry who surrounded him.

Detheon exhaled a heaviness from his throat, his eyes hidden behind his antler helmet staring at Bradley, who was not afraid and stepped forward.

"If you are willing to submit to me, Count de Theon, I will restore your reputation after quelling the turmoil and appoint you to a more important position, but only if you are on my side, not on the side of Amsoan. ā€

De Sion pushed Guillermo away with both hands, but he almost fell to the ground, "You want me to surrender to you?! I am the important minister of His Highness Amsul! I will definitely not bow to anyone else!"

Fenrir had drawn his blood-stained sword, and Guillermo continued to plead with Bradley.

"Guillermo, you traitor!"

"Your Highness Amsol has failed me, and I don't want to worry about anything more, but His Highness Bradley is the true hope of the Kingdom of Salins, and I know this very well," Guillermo hugged De Sion, who was about to exhaust his strength, but was still cursing others, "Your Highness Bradley, please spare De Sion's life, I am willing to put all my men and property in the hands of His Highness Bradley, and I only ask for temporary forgiveness for him." ā€

Desion eventually fainted due to exhaustion, and the medics standing next to him immediately walked up and began to stop the bleeding and bandage Desion.

Owen approached Prince Bradley's side and whispered, "Your Royal Highness, as agreed with the Commander, our funeral mercenary group will select the corpses of these soldiers as trophies. ā€

Fenrir looked disdainful, but Bradley only nodded, "Well, this is in consultation with your mercenary group, and all the corpses of the soldiers will be freely chosen by you, and I will not ask why you took these corpses." ā€

"Then I will thank His Royal Highness the Prince on behalf of our head of the regiment. With that, Owen led the sixteen "hoplites" to the piles of corpses that filled the battlefield, as if they were looting relics.

Fenrir said to Bradley after Owen had gone away, "The funeral mercenary regiment's actions are tantamount to insulting the dead! These soldiers are soldiers of our kingdom, even if they are soldiers on the side of Amsoul, their names should be engraved on the 'white tablet'!"

Bradley looked at the western battlefield where the battle had just ended, "I never wanted any Kingdom soldiers to die because of this turmoil, we try to keep as many people alive as possible, especially my subordinates." For the sake of those people of the kingdom, I had to use extraordinary means in extraordinary times, and the funeral mercenary group was one of them. ā€

Fenrir still looked sullen, "The funeral mercenary group... They are the real demons..."

"The power of the devil can be harnessed, and it's the best option right now," Bradley's tone was firm, "I just hope Walter can understand it sooner rather than later and give up the idea of fighting me." ā€

Early the next morning, news of Prince Bradley's defeat of Prince Ansom on the plains beside the Black and White River spread throughout the capital, and no one knew that Prince Bradley had won more with less. The populace were talking about the battle outside the city last night, and the difference in strength between the two princes was huge, but Bradley won at a very small cost, repulsing Amsul, who had come to Mallott with a large army.

"We all thought the two princes were here to besiege Mallot! We didn't expect a fight outside the city!" Avi and Felistie could hear the crowd as they stood by the gate of the Kestrel Academy.

"Prince Bradley and Prince Amsoil are both suitable candidates for the future king, and they will surely both want to take the throne in Mallotne! I guess Prince Walter and Prince Bradley will have a fight! Whoever wins will be on the throne!"

"It seems that the king of Byron has really died, and his sons are fighting to the death outside the city, while he is still hiding in the palace to recuperate... Even the king of a kingdom should have a father's heart, how could a healthy Byron king watch his children fight outside!"

Avi and Felisty sat on the stone benches beside the academy gates, and they had heard from Tekona that Princess Winlith had appeared southeast of Mallote with a part of her army last night. If she guessed correctly, Winlith ambushed her troops in that place just to guard against possible Walter troops.

"There is no trust in the battle for the throne, and even if you are close to each other, you will be wary of each other," Felistie said, combing her long red hair, "and the Prince Bradley you admire will come first, and his enemies will be Queen Rosemund, and Prince Walter." ā€

Avi's heart is happy, but this battle is a civil war in the Kingdom of Salins, and both sides of the war are from the Kingdom of Salins. He didn't know how long the dispute between the three princes and one queen would last, but he had realized that this battle for the throne was not a good thing for the entire kingdom of Sallins, but rather gave other countries a chance.

"Sunflower" came from afar, "Phylistie, it's time to go to the palace to meet the queen, we must do our duty to pacify the people of Mallot." Eliminate false rumors. ā€

"Is it because you are afraid that the people in the city will do something in support of Prince Bradley?"

"It's useless to be afraid, Bradley has the win!oh! Miss Ben is a rational person!"

Once Felistie was gone, Avi began to close his eyes and try to call out to Mr. Bennicott in his head. Ben Nicott had mentioned something about the smell when he watched the battlefield yesterday, but Avi was staring at the battlefield with all his attention, and Ben Nicot's words didn't make Avi understand what he meant.

"Avi. Celeanos's voice suddenly came from Avi's ears, and Avi was so frightened that he immediately opened his eyes, and he couldn't concentrate, so he naturally couldn't communicate with Ben Nicott, who lived in his spiritual plane.

"It's Senior Silanenos, is there anything wrong with me?"

"Let's go take a bath together!" Silanos grabbed Avi's arm and walked towards the public bathhouse of the Kestrel Academy. Avi couldn't break free, so he had to be pulled into the bathhouse. There weren't many people in the bathhouse at this time, so as soon as Cyranos walked in, he stripped naked and jumped into the pool. Avi hadn't showered for two days, so he stripped naked and soaked in the pool.

Cyranos looked up from the water, his sky-blue hair not faded at all, "Why? Do you have to hide it in the bathhouse? We're all men!"

Avi hid in a corner of the pool, he was already very wary of Celenos. Although when he first met Sylanenos, he only thought he was a rebellious senior, but after getting along with each other and experiencing other things, Avi realized that Sylanes was not that simple, and that Sylanenos was likely to threaten himself and Bennicott.

"I'm used to taking a quiet bath. ā€

Silanos's face was flushed with steaming hot water, and he said with a smile: "The battle for the throne of the Kingdom of Salins will soon come to an end, all this is just a trick of some people, but unfortunately everyone involved in it desperately wants to win this game, and even does not hesitate to take off their masks and reveal them in front of everyone. ā€

"Some people's tricks?"

As soon as Avi asked this, Ben Nicot's voice came to his head.

"The man in front of me... He seems to have changed a bit..."

At the same time as the whispering of the spirit body came, Celenos's eyes also changed slightly, as if Celenos had also heard a whispered word.

"That's right, that 'some' person did these things for his own selfishness, and it was the ordinary people who suffered in the end. ā€

Avi didn't respond to the other party, just took a shower in silence. He didn't understand Celenos's words, and he didn't know why the other party was saying them to himself. It didn't take long for Silanos to get up and out of the bathing pool.

Silanos wiped his body dry: "Don't take it to heart, I just want to say something, you know, sometimes some things just don't vomit and don't feel unpleasant!" Silanos showed his strong buttocks, waved his hand and walked out of the bathhouse.

Representatives of the "Capital Supervisory Council" soon came out of the palace and told the people about the "situation outside". Queen Rosemund, claiming that both Prince Amsoil and Prince Bradley had used their armies without permission, and that both princes were considered traitors, so the queen had obtained permission from King Byron to recruit the third prince, Walter, to Mallotte again to protect the capital and the royal family. This statement seemed to hint at the attitude of the Queen's faction, which was to woo Prince Walter and turn away the other two princes.

The overseers also stated that Mallot's martial law would remain under martial law, that any suspicious actions would be considered treason, and that captured mercenaries who had attempted to open the gates would be publicly executed in the evening.

Amsol's assembled army was crushed outside Mallot, and he himself hastily fled back to Bone Ruins City. The four henchmen under Ansu's command were all lost in the battle, and the noble lords who supported Amsoil began to no longer trust Amme, and the rest of the troops that were originally being assembled were withdrawn, leaving only Ansuo's own soldiers of less than 20,000 people to guard the city of Bone Ruins.

Amsol, who fled back to the City of Bones, was nowhere to be seen, and locked himself in a closed room that only he knew about for three days and three nights, except for the man in red who brought him food, and no one else was able to see Amsol.

"My king, eat. The man in red knocked lightly on the wooden door, and Amsey, who had locked the door, curled up in the corner of the room, as if he couldn't hear the other party's call.

"My king..."

"Don't call me that anymore! I've lost everything now!I've just got to hide here and die..."Amsoil looked up slightly, he had a beard on his face, which was not what the always neat and clean Amsoil should be.

"Have you forgotten my king, have you forgotten the cold eyes and ridicule you have received, have you forgotten those who look down on you?"

Amsoil hugged her legs tightly and buried her head back in, without replying.

After a few seconds, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and the locked wooden door was kicked open! Bradley, Fenrir, and Gadia all stood outside. Bradley saw Amsol's emaciated figure, as if he hadn't eaten in three days.

"Brother Wang, who were you talking to just now?"

"And my only loved one. ā€
