The middle-aged man in a robe leaned forward and stared at the few people standing in the center of the room with serious and fierce eyes. This gaze made the clothes on their backs soaked with cold sweat, which made their answers change.
Have to cower.
"No, the commander of the palace guard insisted on saying that he went to the west to hunt."
An old man who looked quite old and had completely white hair nodded at the table. His tone was unmistakable:
"Isn't this nonsense? No one saw him leaving the city at all! He must still be in the palace!"
"But it's really not there. He opened the door and let us search at will. We didn't even find leaks in the toilet and warehouse. We even searched under the bed, but nothing was found. There were even documents and records of going out. We also checked
He went to the kitchen and hasn’t prepared any meals for him recently! He must be really away.”
The middle-aged man waved his hands impatiently: "Gungungun, what use do you have!"
When they crawled out of the door, another middle-aged man who had just said nothing sighed: "We still underestimated him. How did he do it? He ran so fast, what should we do now?"
"
The white-haired old man returned to his steady and majestic tone.
"What else can we do? First sign this document and send it over. Even if Eleni doesn't recognize it, he has to recognize it! The decision of the council, whether he is present or not, must be signed obediently in the end! First, stabilize the giants and tell them that this is
Our conditions, if there is no problem, we will let the king sign! Now quickly find a way to find the king!"
With a hint of fear, he looked in the direction of the giant barracks outside the city.
Because of their size, the giants' tents are also very tall, like buildings made of leather. Therefore, the military camp composed of tents is also very large. From a distance, it looks like a newly built area outside the city.
City.
In the center of this new city is a taller tent. The giant leader Nomos sat here with a gloomy face.
He had been in a bad mood for many days. He thought he just came to this small place to collect some things. There was no need to do anything on his own for such a trivial matter. After defeating Bator and taking the warehouse, he was ready to return to Nazwa. But he loved the most
Or maybe the daughter I loved most, after having her chin braced, led a team of people to mine the Hongshan Iron Mine, and she never came back?
"What? Is Hongshan a dragon's pond or a tiger's den? Isn't it just an iron mine? It can't be that the iron ore has become a spirit, right? Even if the earth element becomes a spirit, it won't eat people?"
Even if it is really a dragon's den, even if the daughter is really a fool, there is no reason to eat the entire elite guard team and not even have anyone alive to come back to report the news. As for what really went wrong, no one knows, so he
I had to go south myself to at least find out what was going on.
I heard that there is a legendary shield rider in Casadoria. But after thinking about it, how can an iron mine be guarded by a legend? Look at the map, the royal capital and the iron mine are not too far away, Nomos uses
His huge head made some calculations and concluded that yes, it must have been done by someone here.
No matter how bad the royal capital is, it may still have a few pounds of nails. No matter how small a country is, there are always two people who can beat it. If you are really unlucky and encounter a legend, you may not be able to escape.
However, Nomos is not afraid. For his part, with the racial talent of the giant, not to mention single-handedly challenging human legends, at least he should be able to resist each other with the legendary shield knights of Casadoria.
So Nomos simply led his troops and pressed directly to the gate of the royal capital. Before he could negotiate, he heard the news that a group of annoying elves like flies appeared nearby. This made
He became even more irritable.
"Did the elves do it? No, no, it's okay for them to steal one or two, but they can't eat the whole team. What the hell? Who cares! Since they are dead here, they must be held responsible. It's really disappointing, like this
If my daughter dies, she dies, but I have to take the iron ore! Either they know better and hand over the iron ore early, or we have to go and get it ourselves in the future!"
He thought while rubbing his two steel balls that shone with cold light.
Suddenly, someone walked into his camp: "Commander, the documents from the other side have been delivered."
"Take a look and tell me if you spot it correctly. The characters are too small and I don't want to read them."
So this subordinate snatched the parchment scroll from the raised hand of the human messenger who was only as high as his knees. He unfolded the scroll, brought it to his face, and read it for a long time like a human being unfolding a small note before lifting it up.
To begin:
"The content is correct."
"Then what?"
"There is no King's seal. Only the signature of Parliament."
The anger in the heart of Nomos, who was already very impatient, suddenly burned to the top of his head. He opened his half-lidded eyes and snorted: "Huh, do you think we are so easy to deceive? As for me, I didn't want to at first.
It's such a troublesome thing. As long as you surrender and hand over the mine, you will be spared. Now, you are using such despicable methods to deceive me. This is what you asked for! I will go and get it after I eat up all your kings.
iron ore!"
When the messenger was trembling and confused, Nomos stood up. He patted his plate armor and shouted: "They want to deceive us with a false treaty and prepare to attack the city!"
Standing on the city wall, the First and Second Knights were in a relaxed mood as they watched the messenger delivering the document enter the Naziwa Army's military camp. They discussed the approximate time when the Naziwa Army would leave.
They probably already knew that the parliament planned to accept the giant's conditions, and some even knew that the messenger who went there today was to deliver documents. Therefore, the sudden madness of the Nazwa army to attack the city was not within their scope of consideration.
Suddenly, there was a strange noise in Nazwa's military camp, and large groups of soldiers came out and lined up in the open space in front of the military camp. This sudden change made the knights who had not experienced any actual combat.
The knights were stunned.
"Are they going to attack or retreat?"
"They're putting on armor! They're going to attack!"
"Why, didn't you just deliver the paperwork? Why are you attacking again?"
"I don't know, should we fight or surrender? Where is the messenger? What's going on?"
Someone came to his senses and shouted loudly:
"Surrender is nothing! Don't you understand? Everyone! Bator has been eaten up. From the looks of it, he plans to eat us all too! Even if he surrenders, he still has to be eaten! There is no choice! Fight!"
The big bell on the city tower rang suddenly, causing all the soldiers on the city wall to lose their minds. The capital had not experienced war for many years. At this moment, from the commander to the soldiers below, almost everything was in their minds.
Blank. They didn't know what to do, they just put on their armor, picked up their weapons and ran to the forefront.
They couldn't find their commander. The commander couldn't see his soldiers in this dark crowd. The crowd was crowded with each other, like headless flies, but they didn't know where they should go.
Residents who heard the bells ran towards their homes like crazy, and the shops on the road began to close one after another. The driver who was still blocked on the road picked up his whip and tried to open a path through the crowd, but was overturned by the angry crowd.
The coachman and the ladies in the carriage were dragged into the crowd and beaten half to death. Finally, they lay on the road and were trampled by the crowds of people.
The peaceful capital seemed to have suddenly fallen into a terrifying nightmare. Before the giants even touched the city wall, the capital was already in chaos, and the streets were already covered with bloody footprints.
Soon, the noble knights who had not yet organized saw the giants carrying their tower shields and gathering on the other side of the long bridge at the east gate. They stood together, like a terrible scene in a myth that had come into reality, and even
Even the sunlight tried to bypass them, casting shadows that made the servants under their feet unclear. The steel shields were placed together, looking like a shining city wall!
The soldiers and knights on the walls of the royal capital looked at this scene that made it difficult for them to resist. Their Adam's apples twitched. They felt that the tongues in their mouths were now as dry as cinders, which made them ache, bitter and astringent.
Only then did they realize how ridiculous it was for them to laugh at the knights of Bashkorto for their lack of resistance.
Wearing a full set of plate armor, he was as tall as a moving statue. No, even the statue was not that strong and majestic. He was taller than the giants around him and thicker than the city tower, but he looked indescribably luxurious.
The feeling giant gradually approached the bridge.
This tall giant didn't even bother to wear a helmet. He carried a shield and a square ax that looked as wide as a door panel. With the ground shaking slightly, he walked towards the capital. He just stood on the ground, looking the same.
Just like an iron tower.
He paused in front of the bridge and waved his hand. The humans in the servant army suddenly shouted together: "Kaicheng! Kaicheng!!"
