Royal palace castle.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Knight Lingfeng decisively left the main entrance battlefield with several followers and hurried to the king's office.

In front of the office door, he happened to meet several assassins in black.

Knight Lingfeng knew the assassin who was the leader. He had no name, only one title. I remember it was called Tiehuo. He was the leader of His Majesty's secret men and was responsible for handling things that could not be done on the surface.

Tiehuo didn't speak, but nodded to Lingfeng Knight.

The two told their subordinates to wait outside, and then entered the office together, where they saw White sitting blankly at his desk, his eyes vacant.

"His Majesty."

Knight Lingfeng stepped forward with anxiety on his face and persuaded: "The army of Dawn City has arrived at the castle gate, and it is estimated that it will not be long before they attack. Let's escape quickly."

"Your Majesty, if you don't leave, I'm afraid it will be too late." Tie Huo also advised him.

In fact, as early as when he received the battle report from the front line that the East Gate had been breached, White knew that his defeat was certain.

Why is this happening? He doesn't understand.

The winter before last, he poisoned his father to death, defeated his brother Legovis in the battle for the throne, and finally became the king as he wished, standing at the pinnacle of power.

It was an accident that the Second Queen Sister sought independence in the Southern Territory. Although the process was somewhat tortuous, White still captured Lion's Roar City and is in sight of fully regaining the Southern Territory.

The situation was obviously good, but suddenly it took a turn for the worse.

The army of Dawn City occupied the pier with a devastating offensive, broke through the east city gate, and approached the royal palace and castle.

This speed is so fast, it's unbelievable.

I thought that it would not be difficult to defeat the Dawn City army if I ordered the blacksmiths in the city to build so many muskets.

After all, the royal capital has strong financial resources and a large number of blacksmiths, which are far beyond what Dawn City can match.

Now it seems that all this is so ridiculous. It is impossible to even hold on to the royal capital, let alone wait for rescue from reinforcements from various places.

After coming back to his senses for a moment, White saw Ling Feng Knight and Tie Huo standing in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of anger in his heart.

"A bunch of trash!"

He grabbed the unprocessed documents on the table and threw them towards the two people in front of him.

The stack of papers thrown out instantly spread out, hitting the two people in front of them in the abdomen, and then fell to the ground.

"Why can't even the king's capital be defended? The enemy is allowed to attack so easily. What's the use of raising waste like you?"

Knight Lingfeng lowered his head and explained: "Your Majesty, we have tried our best, but the enemy is too strong, and we are no match at all."

"Too strong?"

White was so angry that his voice changed, with a hint of vibrato in it.

"Didn't I already equip you with muskets? Don't you know how to use them?"

"Your Majesty." It was Tie Huo who responded, "We have a serious shortage of muskets, but they have one in each hand, and they are more convenient to operate than ours. In addition, they have new weapons with ultra-long range and extremely powerful power.

, the East City Gate was so beaten by that new weapon that it couldn’t even fight back.”

Hearing this, White's mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times.

Regardless of the powerful new weapons, how did the Dawn City army manage to have a musket in each hand? Could it be that they had more blacksmiths than the Royal Capital? This is impossible!

But if not, he couldn't think of the reason.

From the beginning, White should not have underestimated Border Town. If he had given priority to the Eastern Territory, he would not have ended up like this now.

At that time, the Southern Territory was fighting for independence, so he ranked the threat of Er Wangjie above the Border Guard Town, and spent most of his energy on dealing with the Southern Territory army.

White now regrets that he did not realize the huge potential of Border Guard Town, which resulted in allowing the opponent time to develop new and more powerful weapons.

Suddenly, White remembered the words that Ye Mei was given to him before he died, including the sentence "Don't underestimate Border Guard Town."

Perhaps she went all out to get the musket just to remind herself to pay attention to Border Guard Town, but White ignored it and was complacent because he successfully copied the musket.

Stupid! So stupid!

The past cannot be changed, and there is no use regretting it now.

boom!!!

At this moment, a loud sound of cannon fire came from the direction of the gate of the palace and castle, and the ground shook slightly. An exquisite vase fell down and broke into pieces with a crash.

"Your Majesty!" Knight Lingfeng suddenly became anxious, "Escape quickly, there is not much time."

"Your Majesty, they have brought new weapons over. It is estimated that the castle gate cannot be defended." Tie Huo also said.

If you don't run away, you will die! White doesn't want to die yet. He hates Owen Eisen and will definitely kill this bastard at all costs! The throne of the king must be regained!

"Let's go! Follow me into the secret passage."

White stood up from his seat, left the office, and led a group of people to the king's bedroom.

There is a secret passage behind the fireplace in the bedroom, which is only known to the royal family and is mainly used for escape.

Opening the entrance to the secret passage, White and his party rushed in, and then lowered the death door, completely cutting off the possibility of pursuit from behind.

The secret passage had multiple exits. Considering that the city was in chaos, White didn't want to take risks, so he chose the longest secret passage, whose exit led outside the city.

That night, White and his group camped out in the jungle, with assassins in black standing guard around them.

White was sitting in front of the firewood to keep warm. The spring snow had just melted and it was very cold at night.

"Your Majesty." Knight Lingfeng handed over the roasted meat, "It's ready to eat."

Taking the meat, which was slightly burnt on the skin, White lowered his mouth and took a bite. After chewing it for a few times, he immediately spat it out.

“Too bad!”

Then, he threw the barbecue in his hand to the ground.

White was now annoyed again. He was a high-ranking king, but he had to freeze outside and eat unpalatable food. This gap was too big and he couldn't accept it all of a sudden.

"Food cannot be wasted."

Seeing this, Knight Lingfeng quickly picked up the piece of barbecue and patted away the dead leaves and dirt on it.

"This is meat that my servants did not agree to get."

"It has no taste at all. It's hard to swallow. If you want to eat it, you can eat it yourself. I won't eat it anyway." White said in disgust.

"Your Majesty, please eat something. I have some dry food here, how about you eat some?"

With that said, Knight Lingfeng took out a bag of dry food from his arms and handed it to White.

"don't want!"

White refused without even looking at it.

"Alas -" Knight Lingfeng sighed helplessly and had no choice but to take back the bag of dry food.

At this time, Tie Huo hurriedly ran over and urged: "Your Majesty, run quickly!"

"Are the Dawn City troops here?" White said in panic.

"No, it's the lizard people. A group of lizard people from the north discovered us."

"lizard Man?"

When he heard that it was not the Dawn City army, White suddenly felt less scared.

"It's just a race of demi-humans, kill them!"

"They have muskets in their hands."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang of gunshots in the distance. The people present were suddenly shocked and quickly picked up their weapons and entered combat mode.

Damn it! Why do the lizardmen also have muskets? Are they provided by Auroville?

There was no time to think so much. Under the protection of Lingfeng Knight, Tiehuo and others, White hurriedly fled to the west.

However, the lizard men were chasing after them, getting closer and closer.

Having no other choice, Lingfeng Knight and Iron Fire each instructed their men to stay and break up the rear, creating a glimmer of hope for White to escape smoothly.

Unfortunately, there were too few of them to stop the group of lizardmen.

With a bang, a bullet flew from the front and hit a tree next to White. He was so frightened that he hurriedly hid behind the tree on the other side.

"Damn it." Knight Lingfeng also leaned against a tree, "They have already run in front of us."

"We were attacked from both sides." Tie Huo also said.

The ability to form a pincer attack so quickly relies on the speed of the agile lizardmen and their excellent sense of smell.

His legs began to tremble with fear. White turned his head to look at Ling Feng Knight and Tie Huo, and asked in fear: "What should we do now?"

"Your Majesty, the two of us will stay here to draw firepower for you. You can escape in other directions." Knight Lingfeng suggested.

"Then I leave it to you!"

White agreed without hesitation because he was afraid of death.

After saying these words, he ran away in another direction without looking back.

Unfortunately, White didn't run out for long before he saw a lone agile lizard man with a gun in front of him.

It was over now, and he was heartbroken.

No! I must live, I am just a lizard man, I can kill him!

Being in a desperate situation and having the effect of a last-ditch fight, White mustered up the courage to pull out the short sword he used to defend himself and rushed towards the lizard man.

"Ah - go to hell!"
