The young Seventh Banner, under the leadership of Askard, was very stupid and did not fight side by side with the "iron men" of the standing army. The two banners had their own division of labor. The standing army attacked the church, and the Seventh Banner attacked the church next to it.
Palace, no one on either side should hinder the other in this action.
Askard then called on his men to stop fighting and seize the time to rush towards the magnificent palace.
There are arched columns everywhere, and the thick Roman-style building seems to contain a lot of treasures.
They had already rushed under these pillars, and by chance they got into a fight with the fleeing palace waiters at the main entrance. These brave and fierce brats showed no mercy to the unarmed male and female waiters, and they aimed and fired their loaded crossbows directly, and then
The young men holding swords swarmed forward and launched an assassination attempt.
The sound of killings from the front reached the ears of Zong Guan, who was fleeing with the princess on his back. Now even the princess who had been very uncooperative finally realized the seriousness of the situation.
The open palace was defenseless, and the thick stone walls could not stop the intruders, and even became a barrier to their own escape.
Those ordinary palace maids are simply dressed, most of them are middle-aged women, and they are devout believers.
For such obvious non-combatants, the young soldiers of the Seventh Flag Team rushed forward without hesitation and stabbed them to death with steel swords.
The first batch of soldiers had already rushed into the Aachen Palace. The more than ten Frankish soldiers stationed here did not catch up with the bloody battle in the square, but they actually became the guardians of the palace.
They fought with this group of half-grown men from the Russian army, and were defeated and killed due to their absolute military disadvantage.
But the Russian army also paid a certain amount of casualties.
Askard watched helplessly as one of his companions died under the sword of the Franks. He fell to the ground and vomited blood. After a while, there was no movement.
The soldiers who continued to attack continued to pour into the palace, and they had no time to care about their killed companions.
Warriors with blue stripes and white robes poured into the spacious hall. They carried swords and started with all their strength.
As luck would have it, the palace steward and his group were fleeing with the princess on their backs, and their backs were seen by Ascard who was rushing into the palace.
"No, there is a noble on the run. Let's chase him quickly." He ordered hurriedly.
"Boss, are we going to pursue you like this?"
"It doesn't matter if we let those cowards escape, we still want to grab gold here."
Several close brothers standing next to Askard gasped and discussed.
Their words immediately made Askard furious: "Foolish, if we catch the nobles we can find out where more gold is. Let's go!"
If he had time to waste time with his brothers, he might as well just go after him. He shouted again: "If you are my brother, follow me! Bring your crossbow and chase me! Let's go!"
Ascard thrust his buckler behind him, held his sword and led more than thirty brothers who heard the call in pursuit with all their strength.
These warriors shouted while chasing, ordering the fugitives in front of them to stand still in Norse language.
"It's so funny. A hunted rabbit can still stand still and be hunted?" Askard was really speechless to his brothers. If he had time to shout, he might as well shoot accurately.
Their shouts startled the escapees and made them realize that there was someone behind them.
After all, the palace steward is old, and the pampered princess is already quite burdened despite her young age.
….
"Let's go. Let's go! Those evil guys are coming soon." The princess summoned
Just like driving a mount, you keep pushing your legs, as if you are using spurs to push the horse hard.
This made the manager feel uncomfortable all over.
"My lord, stop shaking. We are almost at the stables, and we can get on the carriage and evacuate immediately."
At this moment, the personal maid Alicia really wanted to punch her master. Although she didn't know what kind of villain launched the attack, the princess didn't even cooperate with her to escape. It would be faster to knock her unconscious and run away like she was carrying an object. It was even faster.
It was me, I was running for my life with bare feet, the soles of my feet were probably worn out, and I was still running away when I stepped on the cold stone slabs and endured the pain.
The escapees began to disperse as soon as they entered the palace and hot spring hall. There were many narrow forks here.
At the entrance, the palace steward asked the male and female waiters to spread out, so as to distract the attention of the pursuers, and secondly, to give the servants a chance to survive.
The palace steward was extremely confused. He almost vomited blood while carrying the princess on his back. The waiters were also panting. Why were the soldiers with round shields still pursuing her?
They really didn’t know that these half-grown boys of the Russian Army often conducted physical training in their hometown, especially Rurik who forced these boys to practice long-distance running according to Rurik’s own preferences. At that time, the young soldiers who complained a lot had to train a lot.
Good endurance, and it was only at this moment that the warriors realized their strong advantage in this aspect.
At first, he just glanced at the fugitive who had an extraordinary identity. Now, Ascard's eyes were like an eagle's, fixed on the figure carrying the person on his back.
"Don't pay attention to the guys in rough cloth and the guys chasing people. The crossbowmen are ready."
When Askard gave the order, he had already planned to take it with him
The carried princesses were shot dead together. Of course, at this moment, he had no idea that they were the fourth princesses of Frank.
Walking in the narrow alleyway in the palace, this path is the path for daily activities of the servants. There is no rock floor here, and the slightly moist dirt road still exudes a faint odor. It is precisely because of the way the servants take it, some of it is unruly.
Guys secretly go to the toilet here. The thick stone walls on both sides of the road are covered with moss, and the dirt road is also light green.
The maid Alicia suffered terribly when she stepped on such a place. After all, she was born into a noble family, but she actually had to step on a place covered with feces and urine with her feet?
Suddenly, the palace steward's physical strength finally reached the limit, and because the path was indeed too slippery, he accidentally slipped and fell. It was funny but unfortunately he fell backward, dragging Princess Gisla and falling heavily to the ground.
The elegant clothes were stained with endless mud.
But the princess ignored the pain. After being pulled up by Alicia, she was limping and being dragged away and continued to escape.
The palace steward suffered a serious fall. He pulled out his dagger and threw it to the princess.
"Your Highness! Wear weapons to defend yourself. Go away! Escape to the stables, get on your horse and run away!"
Alicia picked up the dagger instead of the princess, and the princess asked in a panic: "What about you?!"
"Leave me alone! I will block this place with my life!"
"You!" For a moment, the princess burst into tears.
Alicia casually put the sword in her elegant belt. She was as decisive as a female warrior. She didn't care about the dirt and pain on her feet, and dragged the princess to continue to escape.
….
At this moment, the palace steward slowly stood up, pulled out his other dagger, and kissed his chest again.
After holding the sterling silver cross in his mouth, he decided to stand behind him like a martyr.
In front of him were the Ross warriors rushing up with swords.
Such a door-god-like guy blocks the road, and there are many people behind him trying to escape.
"You! Don't even think about passing!"
Askard didn't understand this word, but he could probably guess the meaning by looking at the current atmosphere. His brother was more decisive, and the strung crossbow flew past Askard's ear, and an arrow was as sharp as a steel needle.
The arrow hit the palace steward's eyebrow without any bias, and everything was over.
Askard stepped over the man's body without hesitation. The warrior who had just shot the arrow quickly strung up the bow and pulled out the quiver from his waist while running and installed a light arrow.
For Princess Gisla, she has never run as wildly as she does today in the past twelve years, and even her own shoes are not made to adapt to running wildly.
The small shoes suitable for walking in the garden also disappeared. The princess did not care about the smell of the wet ground. Her delicate feet were soon covered with mud. She did not care too much in order to survive.
"Your Highness, we will go to the stables immediately. Get on the horse and let's go quickly!"
"Okay, I'll run away. But what about you!" At this moment, Gisla suddenly thought that her sister-in-law had never learned to ride a horse.
But seeing Alicia's righteousness, she gritted her teeth and pointed directly at the dagger at her waist: "I will fight for you."
"No. You can't die."
"There is nothing we can do anymore
, let’s go quickly!”
At this moment, there were still some soldiers guarding the stables and warehouse area. These soldiers stationed in the warehouse heard the noise not far away. What is very ridiculous is that as city defenders, their assigned task is to guard the palace.
In the material warehouse, those noises are probably what activities the church is doing? After all, this is the royal capital, and there are *** activities every month.
Suddenly, several women dressed as waiters rushed out and rushed towards the warehouse area. Behind them, there were two girls running barefoot. They were all wearing elegant robes, and they had to hold their robes and run wildly for the convenience of running.
Ordinary soldiers rarely have the opportunity to see the true faces of princes and princesses, especially soldiers who are only ordered to guard the material warehouse and are responsible for feeding horses, preventing fires, and carrying things. They are indeed alert.
Just listen to a girl shouting in a clear voice: "Hurry and prepare your horses! Let the princess escape!"
More than a dozen soldiers heard the shouting. Before they realized what was happening, they suddenly saw some weirdos suddenly rushing out of the narrow cargo alley.
The soldiers in white robes had blue lines on their bodies, and many of them had red stains on their clothes. Who were they? All the attire they wore was not what a Frankish soldier should be.
No! Could it be the Normans?!
There are soldiers with round shields who have really exposed their identity, but it doesn't matter at all now.
Askard realized that the two escaped women might be female nobles with extraordinary status. The women who could be protected in the palace were the king's daughters? Or they were other high-ranking personnel.
"Brothers, follow me and kill! Those two women who escaped must be captured alive."
….
After saying that, Ascard rushed forward again with a vigorous step, and then paused warily.
But he saw those ten soldiers. After all, they were soldiers too. The situation was urgent. Now he didn't even bother to put on his armor and pulled out his sword.
He remained on high alert and subconsciously protected the two fleeing girls.
However, this place has become a forbidden area. Without Askard's instructions, some brothers have already rushed to the door here. He simply closed the open wooden door again. The five brothers formed a thin shield wall, so that this small
The external access to the warehouse and stable area is completely blocked.
Either kill these strange soldiers blocking the road, or climb on top of the haystack of the stable and forcefully climb over the wall to escape. Of course, even if you escape outside the stone wall, it is really safe. The fugitives still have to cross the city road to the north gate and escape.
go out.
Now, Princess Gisla has realized that she has no way to escape. The towering stone walls are often beyond the reach of a girl like herself. She stamped her feet anxiously, but saw her maid gently pulling her body, and then,
The maid's equally immature body stood in front of him.
Alicia pulled out the dagger that belonged to the palace steward, held it with both hands, and blocked the princess with her body.
"Your Highness, don't be afraid. Our soldiers will kill these evil people." After that, she signaled to the dozen or so confused soldiers: "They are assassins! Kill them! Protect the princess."
Assassins? Although they can't figure out the situation, it is the duty of every soldier to clean up the assassins.
Facing a group of Frank soldiers with swords drawn, Ascard was unwilling to charge rashly. He was still too young. Even though his twelve-year-old body was already very tall, his physique was still quite thin, and he would not be able to fight in a real fight.
Father Arik is so cruel, at least not enough for now.
"Hold on!" He gestured to his brothers with his sword, "Crossbow! Line up! Shoot!"
The two sides were instantly embarrassed in the small empty space of the stable and warehouse, and it seemed that whoever launched the charge first would be the first to suffer the disadvantage.
However, the Russian soldiers present obeyed the order and put up a shield wall. Each round shield was painted with chalk mud and was painted with a blue cross pattern. This was originally the beauty of a Russian oar, but it gave the Frankish soldiers a strong shock, as if
This strange murderous army also believes in Christ.
No, just behind the shield wall are ten crossbowmen.
Askard is waiting for the opportunity. When the time comes, he will call the doctor: "Get ready! Brothers, bow down!"
The shield wall suddenly became shorter
Go, ten crossbowmen shoot at the same time.
Those Frank soldiers received the round of shooting with their bodies, and four of them immediately fell to the ground in pain.
They were stunned and suddenly didn't know what to do, and Ascard launched a decisive attack.
The shield wall pressed up, and the crossbowmen dropped their weapons, drew their swords, and immediately joined the battle. It was difficult for three punches to defeat four hands. After an extremely violent melee, all the Frankish soldiers present were stabbed to death, and then another
He was struck with a few more swords until he was confirmed to be really dead.
Askard's face was spattered with a lot of blood, and the steel sword was also dripping with blood.
"Is everything okay?" Seeing that the killing was over, he asked casually.
"My arm is hurt! It's not serious," someone yelled.
….
"Bjorn was hit with a sword in the stomach! I'm afraid he's going to die!"
Hearing this, Askard turned his head and saw a boy lying next to his companion, vomiting blood in pain.
However, this is war. The war that the 7th Banner Corps participated in for the first time continued to pay the price in casualties, and the brothers who were injured or killed in battle all met their own fate.
askade
Not caring about his wounded brothers, he took off his helmet to reveal his true face.
Because at this moment he could see that the two women in front of him were probably nobles. Their young faces were full of tears. A special emotion came to his heart, as if there was an inexplicable and great force secretly warning: "Hurry up and rush forward."
, they are all your slaves."
Slave? Maybe.
Look at the scene now. A girl with black curly hair is crying with grief and anger. She holds a dagger inlaid with gems in both hands. The scabbard that fell on the mud has gold lines. Her bare feet are dirty,
But the clothes he wears are obviously very elegant.
"A down-and-out Valkyrie?" He muttered casually, and heard the brothers watching the fun start to encourage him.
Indeed, it has always been the rule that the boss should enjoy the slave first.
As a member of the royal branch of the Ross family, Askard received cultural education while being aggressive and aggressive by his heroic father, Professor Arik. He has also reached the age where he should like women. Based on these educations, no matter how beautiful a weak woman is,
It is not as good as his own speech, it is a militant female warrior, especially a female warrior who is on the opposite side of himself.
Defeat her! Control her! Get her! Marry her!
It seems that this is the only way to prove that you are a real man.
A female warrior on the opposite side? This is probably the case with the black-haired girl in front of her. What's more, she is indeed very beautiful, and her big, bright eyes are fascinating. The most special thing is this black hair.
A girl with black hair, a high nose and big eyes, and fair skin. Could this be the legendary Romans? Do black-haired Romans really exist?
This concept comes to mind.
As for the girl in the back with her face full of tears, she looks like a weak rabbit. Is she good-looking? No! She is not even one-tenth as good as the girl holding the sword in front of her.
The girl with the sword in front of me must get her!
