The king kept shaking his head. He felt like he was facing a terrible nightmare. When he opened his eyes forcefully, the bright weapons finally woke him up.
"General Andrew! Stop him quickly!"
Andrew stood up and said: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
What a stupid order. The king actually asked Andrew to leave the stand. Andrew and Charlemagne jointly planned this exercise. He could not have been unaware of the whole thing.
Chris stepped forward to stop Andrew, but Andrew knocked Chris to the ground easily. When the general walked into the formation of soldiers, the arrowheads of the Golden Lion Army were also aimed at the king.
"Kill him! Father!" Charlemagne raised his voice, "This is your last chance!"
The king drew his sword with his trembling right hand and looked at Chris.
Chris looked at his father in surprise, could he really kill him?
He really knows how. If the king can still stand up, he will kill Chris without hesitation to save his own life. In despair, Chris noticed Andrew's hand, and he slowly raised it
Shoulder, this is the difference between a general and a prince, he knows that time should not be wasted at this time.
As soon as he lowered his hand, the archer would immediately release an arrow, and the king would be shot into a hedgehog, and the whole thing would be over.
Just when he was about to put down his hand, Chris suddenly stood up and shouted, Guards, raise your shield!
The king's guards reacted correctly instantly. They raised their huge shields. Chris rushed to the king's side, grabbed the king, and hid behind the shield.
A swarm of arrows flew over, causing chaos in the stands.
Dozens of nobles were killed on the spot. Prime Minister Spindu was hit by an arrow in the leg. He struggled to crawl behind the shield. The old Conrad was also hit by an arrow. Before he could get up, he was trampled by people who were running away frantically.
feet.
Charlemagne shouted: "Chris has taken the king hostage, the prince's guard, attack!"
The Prince's Guard rushed into the stands and started fighting with the King's Guard. The King's Guard was slightly more powerful, but standing behind the Prince's Guard was the terrifying Golden Lion Army.
This was a battle without any suspense. It was only a matter of time before the king's guards were wiped out. Chris called a few strong soldiers and fled the square with the king.
"Quick! Retreat to the palace! Quick!"
Chris rushed to the palace with the king, but Edmund caught up from behind and stopped him.
"You can't go to the palace, Your Highness!"
"Why?"
"The Golden Lion Army will surround the palace, and then we will have no way to escape."
"There are hundreds of guards in the palace."
"So what if there are thousands of them? They can't stop the Golden Lion Army!"
"Then where can we go?"
"Go to the north gate and leave the Lion City!"
The gate in the north of the city was closest to the square, but Andrew had already been prepared. When they rushed to the north of the city, a group of cavalry had been waiting at the city gate.
Seeing the opponent's golden armor, Chris closed his eyes in despair. In addition to the king and Edmund, there were eight guards around him. Even if these eight guards were sent together, they might not be able to defeat a Golden Lion.
warrior.
But since he had escaped here, he wanted to at least try his luck. Chris walked up to the cavalry and shouted loudly: "The king is leaving the city, get out of the way!"
The cavalry captain looked at the ferocious-looking Chris, and then at the dazed king. He shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, we only follow General Andrew's orders!"
"General Andrew will arrive soon, please get out of the way first!"
"No one can leave the city gate without General Andrew's order."
The cavalry captain's attitude is very resolute, and it seems that stronger measures must be taken. If the captain can be hacked to death with a sword, his soldiers will leave in a sensible manner.
Chris was too naive. He swung his sword and tried to cut off the captain's horse leg. The captain easily raised his horse's hoof, dodged Chris's sword, and then raised his spear and stabbed Chris in the chest.
If the person standing in front of him was a king, the captain might hesitate, but facing the demon prince, he showed no mercy. Facing the captain's spear, Kesli had no ability to parry, let alone the possibility of dodging, but with a muffled sound
Afterwards, the captain stumbled and fell under his horse.
Chris, who was pale, raised his head, but saw his best friend and childhood playmate, Knight Sandos, appearing in front of him.
Since Sandos betrayed him, they had not seen each other for more than three months. When Chris was dying, Sandos miraculously appeared.
He assassinated the cavalry captain, then wielded his spear and assassinated several cavalrymen one after another.
There was the sound of horse hooves behind him, and Andrew led the Golden Lion Army in pursuit.
"Grab their horses and get out of here!" Sandos shouted, and Chris woke up like a dream. Everyone led the king onto the horses, and the brave Sandos fought his way out, killing six people.
Without the guards, everyone rushed out of the Lion City desperately.
Chris led the group of people and ran all the way north, barely getting rid of the pursuers until dusk. The exhausted horses could no longer move, so they had no choice but to rest in the forest for one night.
There was no food, no clean water, and not even a gold coin on him. The only thing that could satisfy his hunger was the snow on the ground. Chris, who was extremely thirsty, took two mouthfuls of snow, and the suffocating cold penetrated directly into his bones.
"Don't eat too much snow, you will freeze to death," Sandos took off his helmet, "I'll pick up some dead branches, make a fire, and boil some water for you."
Chris stopped Sandos: "You can't make a fire, the enemy will find you. My friend, why did you come to save me?"
Sandos said: "Do you want to hear the truth?"
Chris nodded.
Sandos said: "After the celebration started, I received an order from Andrew. He asked me to kill you, so I have been monitoring your whereabouts. I wanted to tell you the news, but I couldn't find the chance."
Chris said in surprise: "Why did he come to you?"
Sandos smiled and said: "This idiot, he thinks I am holding a grudge against you. He will never understand that there is a person in this world who will never betray you."
Chris curled his lips and said, "You have obviously betrayed me."
"That's to save you. I don't want you to disobey the king's order," Sandos looked back at the king, "Even if he asks me to kill you, I will point the sword at him without hesitation."
Chris also turned his attention to the king, and soon they heard the king's curse.
"You devil, it's all because of you that Charlemagne betrayed me. He is my best son, and it's all because of you, devil, that he betrayed me!"
Chris sighed and said: "Maybe I really shouldn't save him, I really want to throw him in this hellish place."
Edmund said: "We must bring the king with us. Fighting for the king means that we are on the side of justice. Only in this way can we gain the support of the lords."
"Justice?" Chris sneered, "I don't expect justice. I just hope that the lords won't hate him for being mean."
The exhausted Chris quickly fell asleep, but Charlemagne did not sleep. It was a terrible mistake to let the king go, and he must make up for this mistake.
He sent more than thirty messengers to inform all the lords in the kingdom day and night: "The traitor Chris assassinated the king and found a person who looked similar to the king to deceive all the people in the kingdom.
Those who kill traitors and liars will get the power of the kingdom, and those who kill Chris and the false king will get the land and titles of the kingdom."
