Chapter 274: Free Hunting
Illuminated by thousands of torches, the East Gate was as bright as day. And the houses near the east gate were also emptied, and the soldiers of Beamon stood densely. But on the ground, fifty paces away from the east gate, the corpses were already stacked on top of each other. For an entire hourglass time, the Holy Knights of Brad were still stuck like nails at the gates.
At this time, the only people who could stand in the city gate cave were Bai Ruide and seven others. Looking at the army of Beamon in front of them, they had a kind of calm that looked at death as if they were at home. With less than 200 men, they were able to block the continuous attacks of Beamon's army, a feat that was entirely worthy of glory, and now they waited quietly for the last glory of their lives.
"Lord Sacrificial Wine (one of the positions in the Temple of the God of War)!, would you like us to help?" asked the priest with a smile.
And the expression of the sacrificial wine was also kind: "It's just a trivial matter, so don't bother the main priest." "It's funny, the temple has been fighting for so long, and it's about to be finished, and those big clans want to come and pick peaches?
"Hehe!" the priest of Descartes also disagreed, "but it seems to have dragged on for a long time." I'm just worried that those people will run away!"
And the sacrificial wine is also smiling and not smiling: "Then the main priest is even more worried." Long before the half-hourglass, I sent people out of the city through the north and south gates, blocking the way for humans to flee eastward. The two generals outside the city also took care of the human camp, and they couldn't escape, they couldn't run away at all. ”
"Oh, worthy of being the chief priest! Then I'll wait for good news!hahaha!"
"Hahaha-!"
......
When the battle in the city turned fierce just now, the Divine Comedy shaman Clark finally couldn't hold it anymore, and he and the newly awakened queen came forward together to urgently invite the patriarchs of the major tribes of Beamon to the temple to discuss.
This emergency meeting was very short, but it was very efficient, and three points of consensus were reached at once:
The first is the question of the throne. Everyone unanimously agreed to deprive Dezhen and Deleng of their inheritance rights. In any case, this disaster was also caused by the two brothers, not to mention who is right and wrong, just to give an explanation to mankind, but also to give an explanation to Beamon, and also need some enough scapegoats. And with these two princes, the scapegoat problem is at least solved.
As for the question of the temporary regency of the kingdom, the question of the election of the new king, the question of the investigation of King Wadison's murder, etc., these issues can be discussed later. The top priority at the moment is to control Dezhen and Deleng from continuing to fight, and prevent an avalanche of civil war. So in the blink of an eye, both brothers ended their political lives. But neither of them knew it yet, and they were fighting in full swing, and they didn't know what they were working on.
The second was to send envoys to the Verona Empire to question and protest in the strongest possible way. In other words, it was the wicked who sued first to protest the assassination of the venerable King Wadison by the human expedition.
In fact, Clark and the others all understand that such a protest is unreasonable, does not stand up to scrutiny at all, and will not eliminate the slightest anger of humanity, and the war between humanity and Beamon will also break out. But...... It's always a reason, right? It can deceive the people of the Beamon Kingdom somewhat, and it can also keep the elves and other races neutral.
Of course, the envoy was somewhat troublesome. His status was high enough, and it was clearly a mission to his death. So...... Let's discuss it later!
Finally, there is the question of what to do with the remaining members of the mission. In order to act in a full set, he can only claim to the outside world that "except for Princess Tricy and his wife, others are free to hunt". In other words, life or death or reduction to slavery are decided by Beamon, who captures humans. This also includes the Magister of Hypel.
This is also helpless, we have to give Beamon's soldiers and civilians an outlet, right? And the damage caused by the Magister of Hypel is indeed too great. Of course, in order not to kill indiscriminately, the only reason can be used is that "you must not kill after being captured, and you must torture the real murderer of the king". But how effective is this reason? God knows!
Therefore, this last point will also add N more difficulties to the escape of the Dipu people, and they will enter the enemy-occupied area where all the people are enemies.
Subsequently, the patriarchs of the major clans acted separately. Some went to stop the battle between Dezhen and Deleng, some were more conservative and remained stationary, and some began to support the pursuing Beamon army, including the Descartes Priest.
......
Looking at Bai Ruide and the others in the doorway, all Beamon had some admiration. Beamon's respect for warriors is indiscriminate, and the bravery of the likes of Rhett has won their hearts.
"Your Excellency!" cried the priest in a loud voice, "your duty has been fulfilled, and it is no longer possible to stop us from the Beamon Warriors." If you lay down your weapons, I guarantee that you and your companions will be treated in a manner befitting your status. The sacrificial wine finally made an effort and surrendered to Rhett.
And Brad smiled and bowed to the sacrificial wine: "Thank you!" His expression already explained a thing, is there anything more absurd than "let the papal knights surrender"?
Looking at Rhett's expression, the sacrificial wine sighed secretly, then waved his hand forward and made an "attack" gesture. And all the Beamon armies began to press forward.
Behind Brad and the others, Bishop Merlin was still busy blessing the rest of the people with the "Restoration Technique".
And Brad smiled behind him: "Lord Bishop, you shouldn't have stayed. ”
Unexpectedly, Bishop Merlin laughed "hehehe": "Only I can use magic magic, and other children can't." And...... Do we have deserters in the sacred?"
"Hehe!" Rhett laughed, with a look of nostalgia on his face, "yes! we are the First Knights in the World. ”
"Lord Rhett!" Bishop Merlin finally laughed, "it's time for you to get out of the way. In this life, I've been looking at your knights' big ass all day long, and I'm going to vomit! ”
Brad immediately understood what Bishop Merlin meant. Although the papal knights also practiced divine arts, they were better than Bishop Merlin, who was no more than a seventh-level magician. So Brad bowed in a dashing manner: "You please!"
In the night, seven huge streams of holy light rose from the east gate of the city of Guure. Brad, Bishop Merlin, and others kept their promise with divine purification - to fight until the last moment.
......
After the Bimon army had left the east gate, they hurried towards the camp of the visiting group. But after a few steps, he suddenly encountered several explosions, which were the magic puppets that Temo left behind to explode. The casualties caused by these explosions were not large compared to the total number of Beamons, but they also pointed the way for all Beamon - Princess Tricy and the others fled back to the camp.
However, not long after the pursuit, the Beamons found that the mountains were full of human beings on the run. When the members of the visiting group who remained in the camp found that their back roads had been cut off, they immediately dispersed, and did not organize any resistance at all, but only fled like headless flies.
And in the dark wilderness, there are people running everywhere, not to mention the chaos. So Beamon also dispersed and began to pull the net to arrest. Be sure to wipe out all the humans in the encirclement. Gradually, the army of Beamon also surrounded the camp. And the Verona official who stayed behind to preside over it, because the doctrine of light contained a clause that "no suicide" was there, so he ordered his servants to kill him.
Although the Verona official did have all kinds of inconsistencies, at the last moment, he still saved his integrity and did not surrender.
The capture lasted until noon the next day, and only 217 humans were captured alive. The rest is basically - all tortured. This night, the two sides were like a deep feud.
However, in the end, the corpses and prisoners were counted, but Princess Tricy and other high-ranking members were found. At this time, it suddenly dawned on the Beamons that Princess Tricy and the others did not return to the camp, but found another way for the golden cicada to come out of their shells.
......
And after Willy received Princess Tricy and the others, he did not flee to the east where the humans were, but rushed to the southwest. Since the average knight had two or three transfer horses and baggage horses in addition to war horses, all the transfer horses and baggage horses were concentrated here at Willy before the battle. In addition, Dipu and others are desperately searching for Roman horses in the big camp, so now not only everyone has a mount, but even one person can ride twice.
ran all the way like this, and by the afternoon of the next day, he had already run nearly two hundred miles. However, at dusk that day, the Eagle Scouts of the Iger tribe were spotted in the air, and this group of people was finally exposed.
As they were far away from the city of Guure, it was impossible for the army of Beamon to pursue them in the night, so after supper, the people rested for a while. Then all the remaining principals gathered together and began to deliberate on their next steps.
"With such a large group of people, there is no way to run at all, and sooner or later they will be chased by orcs. ”
"We must divide our troops. Running away one is one. ”
"Let's hide! ”
"When will the reinforcements come? It's hard to cross even the Sanggan River!"
"But people can't be too scattered, right?"
"Master, it's better for you to protect Your Highness first......
"Don't say that, Tricy won't leave. Do you want to leave a stain on the crown of the childish chrysanthemum?"
......
Magister Hypel, who supported the meeting, had a headache. His strength is strong, but he is a layman in military affairs. And the other civil officials and the Hypel Magister are also half-hearted.
As for the commander of the four guards and the mage regiment, the leader of the Jewel Flower did not leave the Olympic arena at all. Brad died honorably, Farrell died a humiliating death, George fled, and Sivier is now unconscious. There really isn't a single commander of the army!
