"But... but father..." The eldest prince wanted to say that it was not that the danger had not yet been confirmed. In addition, he was not really preparing to put the army into danger. He was preparing to be the first to climb the city wall, and then do something like Lana Lante.
Show your style like this.
But how could the king listen to his explanation? The next moment his eyes widened, "Shut up and go back to the camp to reflect. I don't want to see you idiot now!"
The king was really angry. How could he hand over the principality to such an unstable heir in the future?
"I……"
"Your Highness, let's go!" At this time, the captain of the Iron Guard who was responsible for personally protecting the king immediately stepped forward and stopped the eldest prince who still wanted to argue.
The eldest prince gritted his teeth and did not dare to say anything more under the angry glare of the king. He immediately covered his red and swollen face and was persuaded to leave by the captain of the Iron Guard.
But before leaving, the eldest prince gave Nalant a fierce look. At this moment, he really hated Nalant completely.
Nalant naturally felt the cold gaze, but he remained motionless.
The essence of the eldest prince is actually the same as that of Tony and other great nobles. They were all born with golden keys in their mouths and are used to blaming other people for their mistakes.
He doesn't reflect at all. If he hadn't been so arrogant at the beginning and knew how to listen to his advice, then the series of things that followed would never have happened.
The result we have now is entirely our own fault.
The eldest prince was taken away. Tony, who was originally following the eldest prince, did not dare to stay any longer. He also retreated from the city wall with his neck shrinking like an ostrich.
He was lucky to have a target like the eldest prince today, so he, Tony, was not conspicuous, so he could escape the disaster.
…
After the eldest prince and Tony left, the atmosphere on the city wall finally relaxed a little.
"Bernard, do you think there will be an ambush in the city?" the king asked, looking at the densely packed houses in the city.
"Your Majesty, regardless of whether the speculation is correct or not, if Brock directly abandons Maple Leaf City, he must have some plan, so we need to be careful!" Bernard and several counts immediately gave their opinions.
"Well, then let's send someone to investigate first!" The king nodded and gave the order directly.
Now Maple Leaf City has thousands of "guards" besides the city walls, but the streets in the city are empty and silent.
Even the large catapults that were attacking the river filling team a few days ago have disappeared.
Obviously, this city has become an empty city.
When the king and several earls agreed, they sent people to summon their extraordinary knights and hundreds of rangers.
Immediately, the extraordinary knights were arranged to guard the city wall to prevent accidents, and a group of rangers began to search and investigate the city in a team of ten
Maple Leaf City is a large city with hundreds of thousands of people. Even if hundreds of rangers search at the same time, it still looks small.
However, a trap is a trap after all. As long as you make an inference and determine the location, it will be exposed soon without spending much effort in searching.
And just as the king and several counts were observing the situation inside the city on the city wall, a change finally occurred.
The layout of Maple Leaf City is almost the same as that of Tulip City.
The square is located a few hundred meters outside the castle gate.
Surrounding the square are rows of luxury manor shops.
And just when a small group of rangers arrived near the square and began to explore the surrounding manor shops, a burst of fire suddenly broke out in one of the manor shops.
boom!
Roar!
As the fire suddenly appeared, the next moment, a huge roar came from the city.
"Ah, no, Warcraft Flame Wolf!" Immediately, the small group of rangers ran out of a manor in panic, then hurriedly mounted their horses and began to run away.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
Not long after they escaped from the shop and manor, several huge figures burst out of the rear door, and then these monster wolves roared and chased after the rangers.
The reaction of the several rangers was fast enough. At this moment, they were galloping on their war horses, leaving the three low-level magical beasts, the Prairie Flame Wolf, behind.
But just when they thought they were about to escape and ascend to heaven, something unexpected happened ahead.
Ho ho ho!
Beast roars were heard one after another from the surrounding shops ahead.
Immediately, all kinds of magical beasts burst out of these shops.
Various low-level monsters such as Wind Blade Wolf, Fire Breathing Rabbit, Explosive Wild Boar, Violent Ape, etc.
However, don't underestimate these low-level monsters. For ordinary guards, encountering one or two at random is a disaster.
Ho ho ho!
When the monsters that flew out of the store saw the running Ranger team, they did not hesitate at all. The next moment, they roared and rushed towards the Ranger team, and at the same time, they released spells one after another.
"Ah!" The small team of rangers only had time to let out a scream, and then the men and horses were drowned in the swarm of monsters.
And this was not over yet. As the commotion in the city became louder and louder, more and more beast roars came from the shops near the square, and more and more monsters ran to the street and bared their teeth.
Perhaps because they were starving, these monsters couldn't find other prey, so they started fighting among themselves the next moment.
The people on the city wall felt shuddering as they watched this scene.
At a rough glance, there are at least a hundred low-level monsters near the square.
If it were an encounter in the wilderness, any extraordinary knights of the Earl family would be able to contend with such a group of monsters, and two of them would be able to directly annihilate them all.
But the problem is that these monsters appear in the city with complex terrain.
Moreover, if the army entered the city before, the ones at the front must be a group of ordinary soldiers.
And if ordinary soldiers were caught off guard and encountered this group of monsters, their fate would not be much better than that of the previous group of rangers.
More than a hundred monster wolves whose eyes were red with hunger were enough to harvest the lives of hundreds or even thousands of soldiers in a short period of time.
Thinking of this, both the king and the earls were frightened!
"You really spent a lot of money!" The king said in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, do you need to let the knights deal with them now?" Several counts asked after hearing this.
"No, let them consume themselves first, and then start the encirclement and suppression when the time is up!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Several earls said nothing.
"Sir Narant, you have done a good job today. Now you don't have to worry about things here. You can go back first!" At this time, the king turned his attention to Narant, the hero.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The trap laid by the Northern Principality in the city also surprised Nalant. When he heard the king's words, he finally came to his senses.
