Chapter 46 The End and Beginning of the Hero
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
In the castle barracks, Bruce frowned when he saw the swallows flying into the narrow archery opening, and raised his hand to signal the military staff officer who was speaking to be quiet.
The swallow transformed into Kassande in the air, and before landing, the druid shouted: "Catch that pudgy bastard!"
Bruce immediately winked at the guard next to him. It was obvious that the guards had been warned in advance about whom to pay attention to, and they went up and pushed Tang from the Rogue Guild to the ground.
Tang looked surprised: "Why? Bruce, I treat you very well!"
Cassander: "His purpose is actually to open up underground trade routes, not to save the principality from the underground crisis. He has been working hard to open up underground routes, and even sent people to trade with Erwin! His henchmen sent Erwin to
and the mage’s army of evil creatures brought to the Rogue Guild to attack us!”
Tang: "What's the problem with this? If the problem can be solved by persuasion, I will choose persuasion! As for the war between you and Erwin, I think there must be some misunderstanding!"
Cassandre pointed at Don and continued: "His goal is to open the underground passage and then let in the emperor's army! He has long known that His Highness Wayne has become a monk (referring to becoming a paladin), and he knows that the old Duke has not allowed the various parties to do so.
What Fang meant by shuffling the cards was, at best, rebalancing! So he introduced the emperor! Shuffle the cards through the emperor!"
"Nonsense!" Tang angrily said, "I have always supported the second prince, Lord Lord! Even you, Cassander, came into contact with Lord Lord through me! You were my workman in the beginning!"
Kassande: "But I was attracted by the charisma of Your Majesty. Now I am loyal to Your Majesty and ready to sacrifice my life at any time. In fact, two of my teammates have already sacrificed their lives!"
Bruce was shocked: "Verney and Kellerman are dead?"
Cassander nodded.
Bruce almost lost his balance and had to hold on to the edge of the sand table with his hands.
After calming down for a while, Bruce asked in a deep voice: "How did they die?"
Cassander described it in the simplest possible language.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wayne, who had been silent for a long time, frowned and asked: "So the seventh-ring mage holding some kind of artifact has not been killed? No, we need to organize an encirclement and suppression team immediately. Mr. Archmage, please come with me.
Go to..."
Cassandre: "Lord Wang will take care of it. If he dies unfortunately, we can verify whether his so-called master uncle really exists. Considering that he has so many luxurious equipment, it may not take long for us to
You no longer need to worry about underground threats."
Tang continued: "But the demon army has not appeared now. Could it be that all this is your illusion? We know that druids like to use a herb to communicate with Elysium."
Cassander: "This is not an illusion, Her Royal Highness the Princess can testify! Now please send troops to the Gallows Square immediately, where Her Royal Highness is waiting for the king's return."
Wayne winked at the officer next to him, and the officer immediately turned around and left.
At this time, Bruce stared at Tang, who was still pinned to the ground, and spoke: "I'm very angry now. You'd better tell all the conspiracy."
"What? Just because of a druid's nonsense? He doesn't even have any evidence!"
Bruce: "My dear brother, please lead your people to destroy the Rogue Guild immediately and confirm with your own eyes the battlefield Cassander mentioned."
"My cronies have already gone to do this, and I have to be by your side." Wayne said, "I can't lose another relative."
Bruce: "Brother! Don't you understand? I am asking you, the paladin, to leave here! Because something very inconsistent with your creed is about to happen here! Let's go!"
Wayne: "I knew something like this would happen, but my creed and my oath prohibit me from standing by while evil might happen."
Bruce turned and looked at his brother: "What if he really plans to put the emperor's troops into the city? What kind of behavior does this look like to you? Isn't it a violation of the paladin's creed and oath to sit back and let evil things happen?
?Brother, I order you to lead your troops now to destroy the lair of the Rogue Guild and seize all the documents inside."
Wayne hesitated for a moment, then saluted his brother: "As you command, Lord."
After the paladin led the team away, Bruce took out a spiked ring and put it on the middle finger of his right hand, with the spikes facing outward.
"Let's see how well the respected Don can keep secrets. Come on, call the gardener from the Duke's Palace. Before the gardener comes, let me test the hardness of your bones first, respected
The Tang!"
As he spoke, Bruce punched Tang on the cheek, and the spikes on the ring penetrated directly into Tang's skin, bringing out a string of flesh.
Tang let out a howl like a killing pig: "I did it! I did it! I colluded with the emperor! Prepare to use the underground shield road to transport the emperor's army!"
Bruce frowned: "Underground Shield Road?"
"Hmph," Tang returned to his usual air of contempt for others, "Your old fox has always wanted to figure out how the guild smuggled things in. He sent people to search all the caves around Langdon City that looked like caves.
I rummaged through everything, but I didn’t expect that we were walking through a passage built by ancient dwarves deep underground.”
Bruce looked back at Cassander: "Do you know this?"
"I've never been in a guild's smuggling team."
don
The Walled City, of course there is not a single dwarf in the Walled City now.
"This city is originally the dwarf's fortress, the starting point of the Shield Road, and the connection point with the waterway. How could the dwarves allow humans to station here? And in this huge dwarf city, there is an underground passage. This was back then.
The military road used by the dwarf army can go north to the border with the Steyr Territory!"
Tang laughed loudly as he spoke: "Although the last section of this passage is blocked by damn goblins and kobolds, the other parts are still open. The emperor's army should have set out last night. If the people blocking the road underground
It’s gone, the emperor’s army can arrive at any time!”
Bruce's expression changed, he turned around and shouted: "Quickly, mobilize the troops and seal all the underground intersections in the city!"
Immediately several barons stood up.
"I'm very familiar with the city's terrain, let me do it!"
"You are just familiar with the terrain around the hospital, but let me do it. I have lived in the city for a long time."
Bruce: "Let the city guards do it, and mobilize the militia. You guys go together!"
Several barons and the city guard captain followed the order and left.
"It's useless," Tang continued, "His Majesty the Emperor promised that I will be the new Duke of Langdon from now on. This city will eventually become my property!"
Bruce shook his head: "No, you won't have this chance."
He pulled out the long sword of the guard who was holding Tang down, and aimed it at the neck of the pudgy guild leader——
Cassander shouted: "Don't! Wang said that Tang still has a life-saving tool on him. There must be something fishy about him not using it until now——"
Bruce stopped.
"Archmage! Come and check what props he has on him! Hand it over!"
Tang Yiyu said: "You have made progress, Bruce. I thought you would succumb to your anger and kill me."
Bruce: "Then you can escape, right?"
At this time, the archmage took out a small sculpture from the short fat man: "This is it. There is a triggered teleportation spell on it. Because the magic aura is extremely weak, no one told me that he had this on him, and I really couldn't find it. That king
How did you know?"
Bruce: "I am the apprentice of the legendary Archmage."
"It's a pity to follow your sister." Tang laughed, "Just snatch him away..."
Suddenly, the guard guarding the bed suddenly exclaimed: "The city is on fire!"
Don laughed heartily. Even if his guards suppressed him, they could not stop the laughter.
Bruce ignored him and made a decision immediately:
"The dwarves' underground troop transport passage is definitely not easy for humans to walk, and there won't be too many enemies! Moreover, marching long distances from the underground passage is probably very tiring. The whole army will attack and kill the troops entering the city neatly!
"
"Report!" Accompanied by an order, several soldiers entered the command room carrying a seriously injured light cavalry, "The scouts who have just returned!"
"Lord!" the light cavalry said in a dying voice, "the emperor's light cavalry is less than thirty miles away from here. The flag is the Amur Mercenary Regiment!"
Bruce turned and asked the clerk: "How many people are there in this group?"
The secretary quickly checked the thick mercenary directory: "Found it! There are 3,000 elite mounted archers and 2,000 mounted infantry!"
Bruce: "How long ago was this information?"
"Seven years ago."
Bruce cursed and ordered: "Take the priest! Heal his wounds! Close the city gate!"
Then Bruce gave several more orders.
Then he stopped and turned to look at the priest who was treating the injured.
He stared at the healed wound under the hussar's open collar.
"Pastor, would previous treatments leave such obvious scabs?"
Priest: "The wound is deep, Lord. This is normal."
Bruce pursed his lips and said nothing.
At this time, a restless messenger ran into the command room.
"Report from the port area! Found a fleet from the Valley Territory!"
Don laughed even louder.
Bruce turned to stare at him.
The moment their eyes met, Tang opened his mouth and said: "Twelve electors, not counting you, there are six who support you. Guess who the remaining four support after the emperor? The valley has never been your ally, because
Your tariffs are too high."
Bruce's face was livid.
Tang continued: "The emperor has always known that you have outstanding abilities because I reported it to him. Now I have a small request. Can you let me witness with my own eyes how you deal with this crisis?"
Bruce snorted: "No, I will not keep a dangerous guy like you. Anyone who is a threat must be eradicated as soon as possible."
Tang smiled slightly: "Well, just follow what I teach you, my and Tanessa's child..."
The next moment, the sword penetrated his throat.
Bruce Langdon pulled out his sword and cursed loudly: "This bastard will continue to deceive and shake our military morale even before his death! He even wants to blaspheme the innocence of my deceased mother! Anyone who dares to speak falsely about this will be punished as treason.
,Kill without mercy!”
After that, the Duke put away his sword and ordered with determination: "Close the door first. Ignore the cavalry for now. They definitely don't have siege engines. Use fire to deal with the enemies who enter the city. Use fire to deal with threats on the water."
Use the ballistas on the towers of the inner city to deal with it. When this inner city was first built, it was to use ballistas to block the river!!"
