Chapter 382: Its your own fault that makes you miserable
"Ah! My Lord, have mercy! My Lord, have mercy!" When Nalant's head popped out of the wall, several Maple Leaf City 'guards' standing nearby turned pale with fright, and they knelt on the ground and kept begging for mercy.
When Narant saw this, he finally relaxed his vigilance.
His guess was correct. These were not guards. They were clearly civilians or serfs wearing Maple Leaf City guard uniforms.
Nalant even saw two girls among the seven or eight 'guards' around him, but they couldn't be spotted from a distance because they were wearing helmets.
After confirming that it was safe, Nalant ignored them and immediately climbed onto the wide corridor of the city wall with a leap.
After scaling the city wall, Nalant pulled up the siege ladder.
Click!
The long sword in Nalant's hand flashed with cold light, splitting the siege ladder directly, and then chopped it into a wooden pole four or five meters long.
After obtaining the wooden pole, Nalant put his large storm flag on the wooden pole.
After finishing it, the next moment he inserted the wooden pole into the city wall, and the flag of the Storm Territory fluttered in the wind on the wall of Maple Leaf City.
"This...this...is it captured now? Have we captured Maple Leaf City?"
As Nalant completed a set of smooth movements, tens of thousands of troops outside the city were in an uproar, as if they were in a dream.
The king's hands were trembling a little, and looking at all this seemed like a dream.
Once upon a time, he also wanted to capture Maple Leaf City, but it has been decades since he inherited the throne of king, and this wish has not been realized.
And at this moment, a little jazz man realized his dream by riding alone.
Of course, as excited as it is exciting, everyone now has endless questions in their minds.
Why did Maple Leaf City allow Nalant to climb alone, but the guards remained indifferent.
"Bernard, what are you thinking now?" The king took a deep breath and asked Bernard.
"Your Majesty, how about I go over and take a look now!" Bernard said directly.
"No, let's go together!" The king shook his head.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"The whole army is waiting where it is, and no movement is allowed without my order!" The king immediately gave the order to wait where it was.
"Let's go take a look!" After saying that, the king rode his brown monster horse and headed towards Maple Leaf City.
Several earls followed closely and started running wildly.
"My Lord Count!"
"Your Majesty the King!"
After a while, the king and others arrived under the city wall. Upon seeing this, Narant immediately greeted them.
"Well, Nalant, what's going on?" Bernard spoke first.
"My Lord Earl, you have also seen that Maple Leaf City is empty!"
"Is the city really empty?" Although he had a vague guess, Bernard still took a deep breath to suppress the excitement in his heart.
"Yes, it's really empty!" Nalant nodded again.
"Okay!" In the next moment, both the king and several earls fell into unspeakable excitement.
In any case, Maple Leaf City, which had never been attacked for decades, fell into their hands.
As for the intentions of the Northern Principality, it is not too late to continue the discussion later.
"However, Lord Earl, although Maple Leaf City is empty, I think there may be a trap inside!"
"Well! We'll talk about this when we get up!" Bernard, the king and others were not surprised and nodded lightly.
Immediately, the king quickly gave instructions to the two iron guard knights.
The Iron Guard knights received the order and went to the military formation, and then led people to push a large siege vehicle.
When the large siege vehicle reached the wall, the king stepped into the siege vehicle first, and then followed his body and stepped onto the city wall.
"Sir Narant, you are the first one to climb the city wall today. Tell me how you discovered all this!" When the king came to the city wall, he immediately noticed the people kneeling on the ground and trembling around him.
'guard'.
However, he just glanced at him and focused on Narant, and then asked Narant in a rare and friendly tone.
Bernard and several other counts also walked out of the siege vehicle, looking at the 'guards' on the ground thoughtfully, while also waiting for Nalant's answer.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Nalant nodded, and then began to tell, "Your Majesty, when I was on the side wall, I used a telescope to observe the situation in Maple Leaf City..."
Narant recounted everything that had happened on the side wall.
Of course, in order to 'repay' the two idiots, the eldest prince and Tony, Nalant focused on describing the performance of the eldest prince and Tony.
He also said that he had no choice but to put himself to the test and said that it was a desperate attempt, which took a lot of courage.
Even being forced to run to the frontal battlefield and climb the city wall in the end was a helpless move after the eldest prince conveyed the message that preparations were complete.
"So the situation at that time has confirmed your speculation, but they still sent me a signal that the preparations were completed!" The king became expressionless, and did not name the eldest prince, but used them instead.
"Yes, Your Majesty the King!" Nalant nodded cautiously.
Although the king's face was expressionless, Nalant could see from the corner of his eye that veins were popping up in his right hand holding the sword.
Obviously, this is a forced suppression of anger.
For a moment, there was silence above the city wall.
Even Nalant saw the clues, not to mention several earls.
If the person who made the mistake today was not the eldest prince or the heir to the Agate Principality, then the king would definitely capture the person as soon as possible and behead him in front of tens of thousands of troops as a warning to others.
Even Lakoff on the side just subconsciously opened his mouth and said no other words to refute Nalant.
However, as the saying goes, sins committed by God can be forgiven, but sins committed by oneself cannot be saved.
Although the king suppressed his anger and was not prepared to punish his heir in front of all the vassals, after all, he was also the future king of the principality.
But the eldest prince himself was about to hit the muzzle at this moment.
The eldest prince knew it was over the moment he saw Narant ascending the city wall. Not only did Tony's suggestion fail to complete, it actually made his guilt heavier and made Narant's style a success.
So, he came to the city wall without stopping, and climbed from the siege truck to the city wall.
Before the earls could react, the eldest prince came to the king in three steps and said: "Father, this guy Narant didn't obey orders, so I was going to send someone to inform you. But in order to show off, he
He actually took the risk of approaching the city wall alone..."
"Why did you blow the horn?" The king interrupted directly before the eldest prince could finish his explanation.
"me……"
Snapped!
The next moment, the eldest prince was greeted with a loud slap in the face.
As a father, how could he not know the character of his eldest son?
Besides, the prepared response just now was always given by him.
If the king can't figure out the whole story, he won't be the king anymore.
The eldest prince was slapped and took several steps back. Then he looked at the king with disbelief: "Father...Father, you hit me?"
At this moment, several earls turned their backs upon seeing this, and did not dissuade or express any opinions.
Although Nalant was extremely relieved and happy in his heart, he also turned his back when he saw this.
"Hit you? If it weren't for the fact that you are my heir, I would have hung you on this wall!" Even the slap was hard, and the king no longer cared about it, "Do you know how dangerous the situation today is?
"
"Once the army starts attacking, if there is an ambush in the city, do you know what the consequences will be?"
