Chapter 39 False Rebellion
"Everyone, everyone..." Seeing that the discussion was getting more and more out of control, Knight Javier had to interrupt, "Don't you think it's a little late now to think about changing your bets?
"Especially those who went to Rock Snow City with me. We all thought that this was an election without suspense, so no one showed favor to Ilea before this. If she becomes the lord, she will definitely remember About this matter.”
"So what? We just need to take the initiative to admit our mistakes." Purple Bird Flower said, "We need her, and she also needs us. Even if Miss Ilea is angry and does not realize this, the foreign consultant next to her will remind her Her. And I don’t think we can always look at people in the same way.
"Miss Ilea reversed the almost inevitable defeat of the election, and was keenly aware of the potential dangers. She left Rock Snow City in advance and allowed Alfred to successfully occupy the Teacup Castle. Every step was wonderful. I think We should re-evaluate her.”
"Isn't this the credit of her consultant?" someone said.
"Knowing people and making good use of them is also an amazing ability."
Others sighed, "If we had known this, we should have pretended to be sick like Trinidad and avoided wading into this muddy water."
Javier got angry and banged the table, "I asked you to think about how to save Alfred's family, not to discuss how to surrender to the enemy! Since you have already responded to Mrs. Vanessa's call to join the army , you should focus on how to win the battle
"Alfred only took three people and captured Teacup Castle. There are almost 300 of us. We have been here for more than three days and there has been no progress at all. Don't blame Mrs. Vanessa for being angry and using a lot of force. ”
Knight Javier's eyes swept across all his colleagues, and lingered on the faces of Purple Sparrow and Golden Snake for a particularly long time, making both of them feel a little uncomfortable. After a while, he snorted coldly.
"I won't stop any of you from finding a new master, but you'd better think clearly about one issue first, which is where your new master is now."
As soon as he said these words, Purple Bird Flower and Golden Snake also fell silent.
Indeed, the biggest problem faced by those who want to defect to Ilea now is not knowing where Ilea is, whether she is dead or alive.
The girl left Yanxue City with her advisors early in the morning, but now almost eight days have passed, and they are still missing, which makes people wonder.
Those present were all nobles, and naturally they knew the cruelty of the heir struggle in noble families.
Based on Vanessa's determination in doing things and the crazy energy in her bones, it is not impossible for her to be cruel to her stepdaughter.
In fact, the mercenary named Faja who had been following her when she came back disappeared.
Thinking of this, no one was clamoring to abandon the dark side and join the bright side. They dispersed and prepared for a siege battle for a while.
Trying to lay down a fortified city with just 300 men was nothing short of a dream, but Alfred had even fewer men to defend the city, so he would only be in his early twenties if he could count on it.
Not to mention that there is Vanessa's involvement in this. She just doesn't know if Alfred will do anything crazy after witnessing his relatives being killed. This has to be guarded against.
After eating the pre-battle snack, a group of knights completed their formation in the early morning mist.
It's called setting up a formation, but it actually means spreading people out on the plain. Most of these three hundred people are militiamen. They have received limited training and cannot form any complicated formations. When the time comes, everyone just rushes forward together. .
The few cavalry formed alone and were placed on guard near the city gate to prevent Alfred from suddenly leading people out of the city gate.
As for the archers, they followed the infantry and waited to shoot arrows at the enemy soldiers on the wall.
Although it is not as easy to shoot from the bottom up as it is from the top down, and it is not easy to shoot at the crenels and people behind the arrow slits, Vanessa's side has the advantage of having more people. As long as the attack from the opposite side can be suppressed, the infantry can pass. Ladders climbed up the walls, thus successfully capturing the castle.
Of course, there will definitely be casualties, so the best way is to defeat the enemy without fighting.
Soon, Alfred's wife, son, granddaughter, and grandson-in-law were all escorted to the city, and Alfred's granddaughter still held a baby in her arms.
The child seemed to realize what was about to happen to him and cried loudly. Many people in the army had unbearable looks on their faces.
Knight Javier wore his heavy plate armor, wrapped himself tightly, and rode to the city gate.
Opening up his voice and shouting inside, "Alfred the traitor, I brought your relatives here. Don't you want to meet them?"
There was no answer from the city. In fact, it was deserted now, with not a soul in sight.
Javier didn't know why, but he suddenly felt uneasy in his heart.
However, he still suppressed the bad premonition and continued according to the original plan, "Madam and young master are kind, as long as you open the door and surrender now, they can not only ensure the safety of your family, but also your The crime of treason can also be given lightly because you have served the Arias family for many years.”
After Javier finished speaking, he waited for a while, but there was still no response.
Then the knight's face became a little uneasy, and he raised his voice a little more, "Alfred, don't be stubborn anymore. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your wife, children, especially that one." You don’t want to see your newborn great-grandchildren either..."
Before Havel finished speaking, the city gate that had been closed suddenly opened.
The knight was shocked. He had actually accepted Purpura's statement in his heart, that is, the threat was of no use to Alfred, and this bloodshed and the subsequent siege were unavoidable.
The reason why he wanted to walk in front of the city was just to chat about people's affairs. He didn't expect that the city gate would open at all.
But Javier is not worried about Alfred suddenly rushing out to snatch people.
Although there were not many people responsible for escorting Alfred's relatives, there were only a dozen, but they were all elites. There was no problem in entangling the old knight and his more than 20 people, and the cavalry on the side would also rush over. Help out.
Alfred will then know what the end is.
However, Javier looked carefully and found that there were no soldiers ambushing behind the city gate, only Alfred was alone.
The old knight was also riding on the horse, but he was not wearing armor or holding any weapons.
Just walked out of the city slowly and leisurely.
Javier never thought that Alfred would be so stupid. Although there were four people who robbed the city this time, everyone knew that Alfred was the mastermind. As long as he took down the remaining people, there was nothing to fear.
Teacup Castle will also be returned to its original owner.
Thinking of this, Javier's breathing became rapid, and he wanted to order someone to be taken.
But then his eyes moved to the old knight's hand.
Alfred's hands were seen holding a wooden plate, with a piece of silk velvet spread on the wooden plate.
Lying on the velvet was an egg-shaped object.
Javier often followed Ruth before, so he recognized it at a glance as Ruth's necklace. Legend has it that the ancient spirit of the Arias family lived in it, but later for some reason, the ancient spirit fell into a deep sleep.
No one was lucky enough to see it except Russ himself, and the necklace was later given to Ilea by Russ.
This matter has almost become a household name in Greenfield.
Seeing this necklace, the bad feeling in Javier's heart became even stronger.
He wanted to have Alfred captured first, but he didn't expect the latter to speak first. The old knight ignored Javier and didn't look at his captured relatives.
He just raised his hands high and said loudly, "Seven days ago, in Yanxue City, under the witness of Marquis Cullen, Sir Romero, Sir Leo, and more than a hundred people present, Miss Ilea was selected. The Lord of the Green Field. This matter is now known to everyone in Yanxue City.”
After speaking, he turned his eyes to the panicked Havel, "You have witnessed all this with your own eyes, but you forcefully confuse right and wrong, gather troops and attack Teacup Castle, what are your intentions?"
The old knight was heartbroken for every word, and without waiting for Javier's reply, he continued, "This perverse act offended the ancestors of the Arias family. The ancient spirit in the necklace has awakened and blessed Miss Ilea, making it clear to him He is the true owner of this land, and the rest are hypocrites!”
"This...this is impossible, so ridiculous!" Javier's tone became sharp, "The ancient spirit is just a legend, how could it...really exist!"
"If you don't believe it, just go and see it for yourself. Not just you, but anyone who has doubts can come forward and have a look."
A voice came from the wall.
Javier raised his head, wondering if it was a coincidence that the early morning mist dissipated just at this time.
The morning light fell on the towering walls of Teacup Castle, and a figure looked particularly majestic in the morning light.
That was the new head of the Arias family who had disappeared for a long time, Ilea Arias, the daughter of Blood-Eyed Russ.
To her right stood a tall man with a battle ax in his hand. He had a terrifyingly ugly face and grinned at Javier.
On Ilea's left hand side, there stood a foreign human in strange black clothes.
He was holding a small square box, and behind him, a strange white bird without wings was making a strange buzzing sound and rising slowly.
The riders who had experienced the pursuit last night recognized the thing instantly and couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.
