Reggie was slapped in the face, not as a metaphor or as a joke, he was slapped in the face with a whip and it bled.
Many onlookers saw this scene. Some of them were surprised, some were scared, and some looked at Reggie with sympathy.
Reggie has always believed that face cannot be eaten as food, but the burning pain on his face told him the fact that sometimes face is really important.
As a local lord, he was whipped by the Prime Minister in public, which almost knocked away all his dignity.
The Prime Minister put away his riding crop, smiled grimly, and began to read out the verdict against Reggie.
It's not a charge, but a verdict, because it will inevitably cause controversy when the charges are read out.
Said that he captured Prince Sean, offended the Bayer Country, and made the Ryan Country bear the threat of force from the Bayer Country?
Such accusations may be difficult to convince the public, but the Prime Minister has no intention of convincing them.
Politicians may not be good at eloquence. What they are best at is depriving others of their right to speak.
"Regino de Victor, I declare in the name of the king that from today on, the kingdom will deprive you of your title and territory. Now you are required to release Prince Sean immediately and return as a prisoner.
The king will be put on trial."
The people watching exclaimed, some shook their heads, some sighed, and some wanted to ask questions, but looking at the cold light in the Prime Minister's eyes, everyone chose to remain silent.
Except for Jarvan and Erwin, they all had their hands on the hilts of their swords. Even if they were shattered to pieces, they would not allow anyone to hurt their lord.
Reggie lowered his head, remained silent in front of the Prime Minister for a long time, and asked in a low voice: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, where are my food reinforcements?"
The Prime Minister was startled, frowned and said, "What are you talking about?"
Reggie said: "Smashing Snow City encountered a war. We defeated the bandits who invaded the kingdom's land. We need food and reinforcements. I mentioned it in my letter to the king."
"Are you crazy?" the Prime Minister sneered, "What do these things have to do with you? You are no longer a lord, you are just a prisoner."
Reggie licked his lips, raised his head, smiled and repeated what he said before: "Sir, where are my food and reinforcements?"
The furious Prime Minister raised his riding crop and shouted: "I warned you, don't look at me, you are not qualified!"
The Prime Minister whipped his riding crop, but it was in vain because Reggie stepped aside.
The Prime Minister was startled, then gritted his teeth and said with a smile: "Are you trying to resist the king's will?"
Reggie did not answer the Prime Minister, but turned to Erwin and said, "My friend, it's time to give us our gift."
Send a gift, that's the code word again.
Before the battle with the prince, Reggie repeatedly warned Erwin that when he heard these words, it was time for a decisive battle with the prince.
It is a pity that Erwin was fighting desperately for the city gate with the auxiliary minister at that time, and he missed the war outside the city.
But this code word seemed to have stuck in his mind, and he was instantly ready to fight.
The Prime Minister turned around and gave the order to the guards: "Arrest Reggie Victor immediately!"
Two Prime Minister's guards rushed forward, but before they could get close to Reggie, one of the guards had already died under Erwin's sword.
At the same time, Reggie issued a second order: "Jiawen Gusta, the enemy has entered the city wall!"
Jiawen didn't hesitate at all. He turned around and shouted: "Roland Field! Tell the soldiers that the First Army will enter the battle immediately!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the tall Jiawen jumped up and knocked over a cavalryman who was charging towards him.
Frightened people fled in all directions, and fierce street fighting began.
At first, the Prime Minister's Guard had the upper hand due to their numerical advantage. They kept rushing towards Reggie, but were stubbornly blocked by Erwin and Jarvan.
Roland Field quickly brought over the soldiers of the First Army, and the battle gradually began to show signs of turning around.
I have to admit that the Prime Minister's Guard is far superior to the First Army's militia in terms of equipment and combat literacy. However, Prime Minister Spindu is not good at commanding operations. He focused all his attention on Reggie, so much so that he
I rushed to Reggie.
This was a stupid decision. Reggie, who had experienced the war, was not as weak as he appeared. He pulled out a dagger and stabbed Spindu's horse. The painful horse threw the Prime Minister off the horse.
Reggie stepped forward and grabbed the few hairs of the Prime Minister, and gritted his teeth in his ear: "Tell your guards to stop, or I will gouge out your eyes immediately!"
Spindu was very obedient and immediately issued an order to cease the war.
The guards were also obedient and immediately put down their weapons.
Reggie handed the Prime Minister to Erwin, and Erwin twisted the Prime Minister's arm and forced him to kneel on the ground.
Reggie picked up the Prime Minister's riding crop, walked up to the Prime Minister, and asked: "Your Majesty Prime Minister, where are my food and reinforcements?"
The Prime Minister shook his head and whispered: "Viscount Victor, you are so uncool. All this is not what you thought!"
"Spendu Grovitz, I'm asking you a question!" Reggie whipped the Prime Minister in the face, and Spinu wailed like a slaughtering pig.
"This, this is the king's will and has nothing to do with me!"
"Where are my food and reinforcements? Answer me!" Reggie said like crazy, whipping up the whip and beating the Prime Minister violently.
Each whip hit the Prime Minister's face, and the Prime Minister's face quickly turned into a rotten persimmon, and his screams gradually became fainter.
"It's all the king's will. It has nothing to do with me."
The Prime Minister was still making his final defense, and when he was about to faint, Bachelo stepped forward to stop the crazy Reggie.
Reggie gasped for a long time. His extreme anger made his vision blurred and his ears ringing. He didn't hear a word of Bachelo's consolation. An ancient story from the Three Kingdoms emerged in his mind.
He now understands why Liu Bei whipped the governor. No matter how good a person is at forbearing, there will always be a moment when anger will completely exceed the boundaries of reason.
Reggie ordered the Prime Minister and his guards to be imprisoned in the dungeon. He returned to the castle alone and slept until dusk.
When he woke up, he felt somewhat refreshed, but the wound on his face still hurt badly, making him feel extremely bad.
Why? Why did things become like this?
Maybe the king didn't care about the small broken snow city, maybe this victory really wasn't what the king wanted, but he never imagined that he would become a prisoner, a prisoner waiting for trial or even death.
What to do next? Reggie gritted his teeth and wanted to scratch his own scalp.
He knew very well that if he went to the royal capital to confess his crime now, he would definitely die, and his death would be very miserable. Just what he did to the Prime Minister today was enough to make him suffer torture.
But what would happen if we didn’t go to the royal capital?
Failure to go would mean rebellion, and the king would send troops to destroy Shattered Snow City.
Reggie felt deep despair, and he even thought about the hanging rope of his "predecessor Reggie".
In fact, hanging is a very painful process, but it is much better than being quartered alive by the executioner of the royal capital.
Boom, boom, boom!
There was a knock on the door.
Reggie didn't respond, he didn't want to see anyone.
But Shirley pushed the door open and walked in, holding a basin of water and standing in front of Reggie.
Reggie raised his head and asked listlessly: "Who asked you to come in?"
Shirley blushed and whispered: "I brought a whip. You can whip me. Before you hit me, can you let me clean your wound?"
A woman's tenderness can really resolve all sorrows sometimes. Every wipe brought a little pain, but it made Reggie slowly come out of despair.
He wanted to hug Shirley, and Shirley was ready to be hugged by him.
But when he opened his arms, he found another person standing at the door.
"Sir, I know you have experienced great pain," Kalaf saluted respectfully, "I don't know if I should bother you at this time, but I really want to tell you the news. We have completed the first batch of black powder.
, a full four hundred pounds."
Reggie raised his open arms above his head, naturally turning into a stretching movement.
"Four hundred pounds, very good, the female workers must be exhausted," Reggie walked up to Calaf and said with a smile, "Pay the female workers two more silver coins in wages. Now let me go and see, our black fans
What’s the quality?”
Anti-fans are almost invincible in this world.
It seems that having black fans has the possibility to change everything, provided that these black fans must be qualified.
At nightfall, Reggie asked Khalaf to take ten pounds of black powder. He did not want to alarm the residents of the city, so he chose the test site on the beach.
Reggie placed the black powder on the rocks. Judging from the smell and shape, the quality of the black powder was very satisfactory.
Reggie sprinkled some black powder into a line as a fuse. After getting Reggie's permission, Khalaf excitedly ignited the black powder.
Tsk! A harsh burning sound, accompanied by thick black smoke, emitted a dazzling firelight in the night at the beach.
The black powder burned out quickly, but Khalaf did not wait for the explosion he expected.
"There was no explosion, why..." Khalaf knelt on the ground and cried, "Why is this? We obviously made black powder, why didn't it explode?"
Batchelor hugged Calaf, and the experienced bachelor actually shed tears.
"We tried our best, really tried our best," he looked at Reggie, shook his head and said, "I tried the black powder captured from the Bayer Kingdom, but they couldn't explode. We didn't master the magic to make the black powder explode.
, we failed, Lord Lord."
Seeing the two people's heartbroken looks, Reggie stepped forward and hugged them affectionately.
"Don't cry, my friends, you are doing well, really well."
"There is no need to say more words of comfort. Maybe we should send some spies to the Bayer Kingdom." Bachelo let out a long sigh and tried his best to hold back his tears.
Reggie stood on the reef, looking at the boundless sea. He untied his braid and let the sea breeze blow away his long gray-green hair.
He put a hand to his face, and after a minute he let out a terrible laugh.
"Muha, muhaha, muhahahahaha!"
The low and sinister laughter frightened Calaf. He was worried that Reggie would be corrupted by the devil because he was too disappointed.
Batchelor looked at the sky. The weather today was not good, and dark clouds covered the moon.
"Is tonight a full moon night?" Batchelor asked nervously.
Calaf wiped away his tears and said: "No, it's not a full moon night, there are at least two days left. Is the lord going to transform?"
Reggie opened his arms, raised his head, and laughed wildly at the night sky for a long time. Calaf stepped forward and pulled Reggie off the rock, shouting: "Lord, let's get out of here quickly, the Kraken is coming!"
"Siren?" Reggie was stunned, "What do you mean, siren?"
There was a green light on the sea, which seemed to be near and far away, as if there was some monster swimming under the sea with a torch.
"Those are the eyes of the Kraken," Batchelor said nervously. "The Kraken will spit out poisonous mist. Sir, let's leave quickly!"
