Chapter 315: Discarding Honor
readx;
Under the persuasion of the ministers and nobles, most of the defenders of the outer temple of Mallotte chose to surrender. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The few soldiers who claimed that they had to see the two princes did not dare to raise their swords against them, and there were not many soldiers who only obeyed the orders of Gronos, and most of them chose to become sheep in the flock. However, just as these noble ministers were about to bring their soldiers to support the two princes of the inner sanctum, Walter's subordinates, who were supposed to be outside the city, appeared at the gate of the palace, saying that they had taken control of the entire city of Mallot, and now the interior of the palace was not yet fully controlled.
Staying where he was, Eggsy was tasked with protecting the rest, but he didn't stay there for long, even though he was wounded, he took the remaining members of the New Knights of the Iron Wall to support Avi. In fact, in Eggsie's heart, he was not at ease about handing over his brother's subordinates to this academy cadet who had just become a knight, and there was also that Walter there.
"I'll go too. ”
"You?" Eggsy looked at Felisty, "You're Avi's companion, I remember you." ”
"Let's go, don't be verbose. ”
There were only twenty or so people left around Eggsie, half of whom were slightly injured, and the volunteer girl was obviously surprised by Eggsy, and he was once again impressed by the bravery.
By the time they got to the place where Walter had left some of his soldiers, the Queen's rebels had not reappeared, and they had heard a report from a captain that some of the palace guards had joined them, and most of the Queen's rebels had been summoned deeper into the inner sanctuary, around King Byron's bedchamber, where they were ready to fight the two princes to the death.
Eggesy then approached the queen's chamber with more than twenty men according to the direction of the soldiers, and when they came to the large garden outside the queen's chamber, a terrible sight appeared before their eyes at the same time.
There was not a single living person in the whole garden, and horrific corpses could be seen in the garden and around the bedchamber. Eggsy walked over to the bodies, and Felistie covered her nose to inspect the bodies. Most of the corpses were wearing thick armor, but their bodies were badly damaged, as if they had been crushed back and forth by a large rock. There were also many corpses whose heads were smashed and smashed, as if someone was holding a large iron plate and slapping them on the heads.
"What is this?" Eggesy noticed that none of the dead were his own men, nor Walter's, "is it caused by some weapon of murder?
Felisty found that the garden was badly damaged and the gates of the dormitory had been smashed to pieces, and if it weren't for the presence of an out-of-control, irascible elephant, what could have done such damage?
"Captain Eggsie, there's still someone alive here!"
Eggsy and Felisty immediately ran over, and there was a dying hoplite, who straightened his finger and pointed to the sky, "'Thunderbolt King'..."
Felisty and Eggy looked at each other, but when they entered the main hall of the dormitory, the situation was worse than in the garden. The hall was littered with corpses, and even the walls were covered in stump limbs, blood just like the original color of the place. The dents in the walls confirmed Felisty's suspicion that there was a guy like "Thunderbolt" who had gone on a rampage and went on a killing spree here, and that guy had turned all the living into dead bodies.
Felisti guessed that this guy was definitely not from the Queen's faction, because judging from the distribution of these corpses, it was obvious that the soldiers who entered this place were going to surround Prince Walter, and they did not need to use this terrible power anymore when they already had the advantage of strength. Felistie doesn't know if Avi is alive or dead, and if Avi is really unfortunate enough to be killed, she is ready to say to the Virgen Golia, but...
Just as Eggsy had drawn his sword and was about to continue walking deeper into the dormitory, a limping stone axe was carrying a broken eyebrow and walked out of the corridor of the dormitory, and there seemed to be someone behind him.
"Stone axe! Broken eyebrows!" Eggesy stried over, stepping on the corpses as he ran, blood staining his legs. Felistie was the same, but Felistie had already seen Avi behind them, who was holding a girl in both hands, as if she was asleep.
Seeing Eggsy's stone axe finally couldn't help it, the man with multiple wounds on his body began to cry, he handed the broken eyebrow he was carrying to Eggsy who walked in front of him, at this time Broken Eyebrow had lost his heartbeat for a long time, his face was smashed by hard objects, his brains and blood were coagulated, and Eggsy couldn't recognize the original appearance of Broken Eyebrow.
"This is my brother... Brother Broken Eyebrow..."Eggsy with tears welling up tightly hugged the corpse of Broken Eyebrow, and the tragic situation around him reminded Eggsy of the time when he promised to share weal and woe with Broken Eyebrow Stone Axe.
Felisti walked over to Avi, who smiled dismally when she saw the red-haired girl, "I didn't trouble you this time, I survived." ”
Felisty took the girl Avi was holding, the youngest of whom was Princess Knightney, who seemed to be sleeping soundly, unaffected by the horrors around her, and could not hear the cries of Stoneaxe and Eggsy.
When Eggsy calmed down a little and led the people into the queen's room, Avi, who was sitting in the corner resting, told Felisty what had just happened.
"In the end, Walter died at my hands," Avi looked at the little princess in Felisty's arms, "but Captain Cowton died of exhaustion, and the broken eyebrow was also sacrificed, princess... She saw with her own eyes that I stabbed Prince Walter in the mouth with a long sword and pierced the prince's throat, so she was stunned by the sight. ”
"Walter, who has the power of the 'Thunderbolt King', has become an invulnerable beast, and he didn't expect his open mouth to become his only weakness..."Felisti finally saw the power of that power with her own eyes, and those dead bodies are the best proof of this, "You are so lucky, if even his tongue and throat are extremely hard..."
Avi was stunned, "Then I can only be killed by him, because I have no chance to escape at that time, and Captain Cowden also insisted until the last moment, he didn't even leave a last word, just closed his eyes with a satisfied smile." Avi recalled the appearance of Captain Cowton before he died, it was indeed a battle with all his life's strength, but Walter's strength was obviously greater, if it weren't for his own sword that pierced through the opponent, Walter would definitely be able to continue fighting, and even turn the entire palace upside down.
"I didn't expect that white-haired squadron leader to have comparable strength," Felistie looked at Knightney's face, "and what about her?"
"What to do?"
"She saw you kill her beloved brother, and she begged you to help her, so that when the little princess wakes up, you may be regarded as her enemy..."
Avi let out a long sigh, "At that time, I was only thinking about killing Walter and living, and I didn't think about this layer... Now that it has become what Captain Cowton had hoped for, and cleared the biggest obstacle for Prince Bradley, then let me bear the charge, which may be something that a knight should dedicate..."
"Fool! no one will remember your heroic deeds, they will think that you are the assassin of the prince... But also, Caldon's choice was tantamount to discarding honor, and if he hadn't taken the initiative to attack Walter, he might have put down the rebellion of the Queen's faction by now. This little princess will hold a grudge against you for the rest of her life, and she is also the eldest prince's most cherished sister, do you think you will have a better time in the future?"
"I... I don't know..."
Walter and Cowton's bodies were soon carried out by Eggsey's men, and the bodies of the third prince were very important, even if he had lost an eyeball and the blood on his body was drained from countless small wounds, but as a member of the royal family of the Kingdom of Sahlins, he deserved a good burial.
Eggsy knelt beside Captain Cauden's body, "Captain Cauden is a worthy knight, I already know what happened, he gave away his honor for the sake of His Highness Bradley, but I still hope that everyone will keep this secret as much as I do, and don't let Captain Cauden be insulted by others after his death, and don't let Captain Cauden's sacrifice be exchanged for crimes." ”
Avi understood what Eggsy meant, and everyone present agreed that it was Heck's rebels who killed Captain Cowton and Prince Walter, and that only Avi and Stoneaxe survived, and they also protected Princess Netney, who emerged from the secret passage.
"Avi, Princess Knightney saw all this, and shot two arrows from the stone axe, right?"
"Well, yes. ”
"We have decided to keep this secret, and we have also lost our honor for this secret, no matter what Princess Knightney says in the future, she can only say it alone, my brother's subordinates cannot be judged as traitors who murdered the royal family, everything they do is for His Royal Highness Bradley, and my decision now is the same, do you understand?"
"I understand that I will not disgrace my dead companions. Avi knew that this was the result of a decision made by Captain Cowton, but he didn't have many options at the time, and Avi didn't regret it, even if he wanted to live with a lie.
As Eggesy came out of the queen's chamber with the rest of his men, Prince Bradley, who was on the left side of the inner sanctum, swept away the threats around him, including some of the rebels of Ancient Ronos and Dorothea's attack.
Bradley held the sword in her right hand and pointed it at Dorothea's chest, and Dorothea, who was standing in front of Bradley, was covered in sword wounds, and she was completely defeated in a one-on-one with Bradley, even if Bradley only had one hand to fight. The rest of Walter's men who followed Dorothea were also killed, and the members of the New Iron Wall Knights and Gadia were obviously stronger than Walter's soldiers, and Gadia alone stabbed thirteen soldiers who intended to sneak up on the Great Prince, and no one could pose a threat to the female knight except Dorothea.
"His Royal Highness Bradley is a rare genius student in the Kestrel Academy, and an assassin trick like you alone can't hurt His Royal Highness the Prince by half a point," Gadia also surrounded her, she didn't need to draw her sword at all, because she knew that Bradley's strength was far above this woman, "No matter how fierce you are, no matter how agile you are, it's useless." ”。
Bradley's sword was like a leaf on the surface of a calm lake, he looked at Dorothea, who was still raising her hands and attacking, and said: "You have already lost, I will not kill you, if you don't give up again..."
Dorothea's plan to die together was unsuccessful, and her "claw" that was trying to grab Bradley was severed by a long dagger that Bradley drew from behind his back, and fell cleanly to the ground.
