After returning to Lianyucheng, Chris had to immediately rectify the lax defenses. Neither he nor the soldiers under his command had ever thought that they would really retreat here. So when the leading troops arrived at the city, the soldiers guarding the city thought they were
Just kidding.
When they realized that this was no joke, dark clouds immediately shrouded the sky over Lianyucheng.
Perhaps this had nothing to do with the mood of the soldiers, because the sky in Lianyucheng was always gloomy. Chris kept sending out sentries to inquire about the enemy's movements, and received a reply only two days later.
The enemy troops are coming, including the Golden Lion Army, the Sand Demon Army, and the White Tower Army that frightened Chris. Seeing Charlemagne riding a war horse and walking in the middle of the team with a smile on his face, everyone's face was full of smiles.
Sweat.
"I haven't seen him for a long time," Sandos gritted his teeth, "It looks like we're going to have a fight to the death this time!"
Goer said: "If I die, please transport my body back to Suixue City. I am a subject of Emperor Reji. At least bury me in the territory of Suixue Kingdom."
"Are you so anxious to die, ungrateful man!" Sandos looked at Goel fiercely.
"You name it, I'm proud of my loyalty."
"Don't be so nervous," Edmund showed a strange smile, "haven't we been looking forward to this day? Our weapons can only play their best effect on the city wall, and now our opportunity has come!"
The enemy troops lined up under the city. Chris took a deep breath and shouted to the city: "Charlemagne, my brother, we haven't seen each other for a long time. If you don't mind, please say a word to me!"
"
Until now, he still didn't want to believe that Charlemagne, who had always been proud, would really associate with the devil.
Charlemagne sat upright on his horse, always smiling. It was a total of two days' journey from the royal capital to Lianyucheng. During these two days, his smile never changed, as if it was carved on his face.
Alice shouted: "Traitor, what qualifications do you have to speak to the supreme emperor? Climb down from the city wall with your knees and pray for forgiveness under the emperor's horse hooves. Maybe the emperor will grant you the last mercy!"
Chris said: "I just want to say something to my brother. You are just a shameless witch. Don't let your disgusting voice dirty my ears!"
Angry Alice pointed at the city head and said: "Foolish traitors, wait for the gods to deal with you..."
Before he finished speaking, Chris ignored Alice and shouted to Charlemagne again: "My brother, are you still alive? Is the person sitting on the horse your substitute!"
This sentence was really vicious, so vicious that it caught Alice off guard. The soldiers unanimously turned their attention to Charlemagne. If they thought they were fighting for a substitute, it would probably trigger a mutiny.
Alice didn't want to waste any more time. She glared at Narses and shouted: "What are you waiting for? Get ready to attack!"
Narses blew the horn, Alexa used witchcraft, and the Golden Lions and the Sand Demons prepared for battle.
But the White Tower Legion was indifferent, and Joruus led the soldiers to retreat to the rear of the team.
This was a move that hurt morale very much. Alice asked Narses and Alexa to postpone their attack. She came to the end of the team in person, glared at Joruus and said, "What on earth do you want to do?"
"I have been fooled. People from the White Tower will not fight for a substitute." Joruus' voice was high, and there was another uproar in the military formation.
"You actually believe such a vicious lie!" Alice pointed to the city and said, "He is destroying our military morale. It's not your first day in the war. Can't you even see through such a trick?"
"I don't think this is a lie," Joruus looked at Charlemagne with a smile, "If he is still the master of the kingdom, he should at least have the courage to say something."
"What do you want to hear him say?"
"I want to hear him give the order to attack. Chris is right. What is your identity? Have you become the master of the Ryan Kingdom? Do you really want my soldiers to fight for a witch?"
"I'm not a witch, I just received the favor of the gods!"
"Save these words to speak to the God of Punishment. If you don't hear His Majesty Charlemagne's order, the people of the White Tower will not take a step forward!"
Alice didn't say much. She knew that she didn't have the ability to force the other party. When she turned to leave, Joruus warned her in her ear: "Don't forget the aura that a king should have, but don't let him speak."
He looks like a clown."
This sentence can be regarded as advice. Alice's witchcraft cannot control Charlemagne's throat yet. Alice has to let Charlemagne know what to say and what not to say.
She came to Charlemagne's ear and said in the smallest voice: "Supreme Emperor, the battle to exterminate the traitors is about to begin. Don't let down the expectations of the soldiers. I don't want you to die in battle because of your nonsense."
On the battlefield, Alexa can easily break your neck and leave your body on the horse until the battle is over."
She knew that Charlemagne cherished his life, and she would not give Charlemagne a chance to say too much. When Alexa lifted part of the witchcraft, the panting Charlemagne almost fell off the horse.
In the past few days, he couldn't control his body or even his expression. He often sat in the same posture silently for a whole day.
Charlemagne never dreamed that he would suffer such torture and humiliation. The moment he could make a sound, he wanted the guards to kill Alice immediately, but he found that he had no such opportunity, and there were no guards he was familiar with around him.
They were all subordinates assigned by Yali Shan, and the armor on his body was tightened very tightly, especially around his throat. If Yali Shan wanted to break his neck, he would not even have the chance to say a complete sentence.
Having fallen into this situation, Charlemagne really wanted to die, but he wanted to leave a chance for revenge.
He held the reins and slowly came to the front of the military formation. This move alone dispelled everyone's doubts.
"This looks a bit like a king," Joruus exclaimed for the first time. "Let me see what kind of person Charlemagne is!"
Seeing Charlemagne showing rare momentum, Chris's plan seemed to be in vain.
"My brother, is this really you?"
"Shut up!" Charlemagne shouted, "What right do you have to call me brother! What have you turned our kingdom into!"
After hearing Charlemagne's reprimand, Chris, who was calm at first, was suddenly irritated.
"You have no right to accuse me. If we weren't forced to do anything, we wouldn't be in a life-or-death situation!"
"I never forced you! It's you who forgot the friendship between brothers! You know what Lianyucheng means to us. Whenever you offend your father, you will always take refuge in Lianyucheng. I even stayed in the city I built a castle for you, have you really forgotten this friendship?"
"That castle already existed, it was just renovated!" Chris yelled, "I've only escaped trouble with you a few times, not even ten times, it seems!"
The two brothers were quarreling like children, first making the soldiers of the two armies laugh, and then making them cry.
At least some of the friendship is real until they grow up.
Charlemagne shouted: "If you still have any conscience! Go to that castle and have a look! Repent in your room!"
"I have nothing to regret!" Chris shouted, "Since we are all here, let's fight!"
"Fighters of the Kingdom of Ryan, friendly forces of the White Tower Kingdom, attack!" These were the last words spoken by Charlemagne.
He didn't mention the Sand Demon, which was to prove that he hadn't fallen yet.
He kept his eyes on Chris, hoping that Chris would understand what he meant.
Alexa controlled Charlemagne and returned to the center of the team, and the brutal siege began.
