Chapter 1010 Chapter 241. The King’s Tour
The King’s Tour has finally arrived.
The city guards and knights are in full swing, patrolling the brand-new streets. People on the street, not to mention spitting, even those who are disheveled will be dragged to the dungeon and locked up.
Fortunately, the Free Blade didn't jump out at this time. They were honest, and the city guards were happy to turn a blind eye.
As for whether they will direct and act on their own...probably not, after all, assassination is also an insult to the royal power.
Except Annan.
He didn't quite think that the king who had spent three years running such a huge kingdom on the verge of collapse would dare to run to the outer city. So even on the day of the tour, he still searched for traces of the "Freedom Blade" everywhere on the streets, which made Dirk and others feel itchy.
"Boss, that woman is right. Killing Crowe won't solve the problem. It's these bastards who really bully us..." someone said, and some were eager to give it a try.
Dirk didn't look back: "For us, is there any difference between killing the king and killing the city guards?"
"We can't kill the king, nor can we kill a city guard. ?” Members were dissatisfied.
"We are not as strong as them, our weapons are not as good as theirs, and we don't have as many people as they do. What else can we do but die?"
His men are a little radical, but Dirk doesn't think this is a bad thing... he has no spirit of resistance. are still being oppressed by the nobles.
"Do our own thing and don't let other brothers of the Free Blade see the joke."
At this moment, the king's patrol team left the palace in a mighty manner.
The residents were forced to stand in the cold wind, blowing cold wind, and had to show their love for the king's motorcade.
When Annan was taking people for a walk in the outer city, the military minister's cronies hurried over: "The king has left the inner city and is heading towards you!"
Discovered?
Annan was not sure and rushed back to Huote Street with his people.
At this time, the king's parade had just marched to Case Street several miles away. He was not discovered, but the king chose a route that would pass through Holt Street.
Annan was worried about Deke, worried that they would bring disaster to the people on this street, and asked Maria to observe them to make sure that they had no signs of action.
As the king's motorcade approached, the etiquette officials in front knocked on the doors door to door, asking everyone to stand in the cold wind to welcome the king.
Because of the changes in Holt Street in the past two days, the residents became a little more sincere. They stood on both sides of the road and looked at the huge motorcade slowly approaching the end of the street.
Annan stood in the crowd, looking at the soldiers in the front row with their heads held high, the knights riding tall horses, the court mages floating in the air, and the king's chariot being pulled by a golden dragon.
Annan's eyes paused on the golden dragon pulling the cart for a long time, then he raised his eyes to look at the figure sitting behind the gauze curtain.
Claude would not have thought that the mortal enemy he thought about day and night would be standing by the road at this moment, standing with countless people who were as tiny as dust.
The Blades of Freedom outflanking the kingdom are getting closer and closer, and the day when they overthrow you will not be too far away...
Annan undoubtedly exuded some malice, and was horrified when he saw the malicious detection spell maintained behind the team. ——But the spell still deceives itself with a green glow.
That's just some kind of improved lighting technique.
It seems that the court mage is not stupid, as long as he doesn't detect it, there is nothing.
The king's parade left Holt Street. As soon as Annan evacuated the residents, he saw several pairs of knights rushing through the street, chasing the convoy that had just left.
"What's wrong?"
Annan stopped the city guard officer who was running at the end.
"The king's motorcade was assassinated!"
Didn't the Blade of Freedom be honest...or was it done by other righteous people?
Not long after, Annan got the inside story from the Minister of Military Affairs: Several of the Holy Grail Knights' retinues had launched a revenge campaign. It was not done by the Free Blades, but both the officials and the guards swore that they were the Free Blades. After all, the Holy Grail Knight is always on the side of justice, so who is the evil one?
They must be the Blades of Freedom, and they can only be Blades of Freedom.
Annan can't help, so he can only grab more freedom blades to "revenge" these companions.
At this time, Sheafield brought good news: a new group of Free Blades arrived outside the city.
"Continue the investigation, don't act rashly, and tell me if you have any news." Annan said.
Sheafield's men continued: "It's too late, these Free Blades are being hunted by the Knights!"
Annan stood up immediately: "Bring people, catch them!"
...
The high walls of the new royal capital blocked not only the cold wind, but also the hope of the slums stretching out on the outskirts.
This group of "Freedom Blades" who escaped from the slums are running rampant on the streets because of the knights' pursuit.
The local residents were originally frightened by the appearance of the Free Blade and wanted to point the knights in the direction of their escape, but everything changed when the knights raised their swords to kill him.
The Knights couldn't tell who was the Free Blade, and in order to prevent them from escaping, they surrounded the streets and killed everyone they saw.
The Free Blades who escaped into a big house saw the ferocity of the knights, and rushed out to fight them with shouts.
As a result, they were stopped by a group of residents at the door of the big house. They said: "I will help you block them, you run!"
An old man stood up and said: "I know a way out. ! ”
"You..."
"We can't survive anymore, so we might as well fight with them. You are the hope, so leave quickly." The residents advised.
The Free Blade remembered their help and ran out of the street with the old man.
On the way, a young mother rushed out and gave her several-month-old child to the Blade of Freedom.
She is betting everything she has that the Liberty Blade is true to the rumors and will not abandon the baby.
She made the right bet, the Free Blade didn't abandon the baby.
She also made a wrong bet, because the old man took them to an intersection where a knight was stationed.
The old man ran forward, shouting: "Sir, I have brought the Blade of Freedom!"
The knights charged, and the old man thought, don't blame me, don't blame me... ...You have brought disaster, and it will only stop if you die...Why are they rushing towards me?
The old man, who had no time to dodge, was knocked into the air by the knight and slid six or seven meters away like a rag. Before the old man died in pain, a piece of bloody swaddling clothes fell beside him.
...
When Annan arrived with his men, the streets were filled with frozen blood and corpses. The knights drove the residents who were wearing single clothes and shivering in the cold wind into prison cars like they were driving lambs. .
A knight from the periphery rode up to Annan and said arrogantly: "This is a matter for the Sesu Knights, the city guards get out of here."
Annan did not speak. Continuing to scan the tragic scenes on the street, he suddenly pulled out the long sword that Maria was carrying. "You are the blades of freedom."
"What did you say?"
"Will those who protect this country arrest and massacre their own people? You must be the blade of freedom!"
Annan pointed his sword at the knight on horseback and shouted coldly: "Do it, life or death!" ”
