Long Gesen looked at the blood on the cloak, which was the unique mark of general lesio in those years, which meant unconditional trust between his robes. He handed over the fengxiao battle horse to the confidant of the government minister, returned to the city and continued to command the battle.
"Herald! All soldiers, attack the enemy''s siege vehicles with all their strength and never let them near the city gate!"
The soldiers'' attack points have been concentrated on the siege vehicles. This military order seems meaningless.
But the city wall suddenly shouted a loud slogan: "general! General! General!"
The soldiers are not fools. They know that longson has just left the battlefield.
But now the general is back. They know who they are fighting for.
Bucken under the city locked his brow. If longson doesn''t go, the result of this battle will be the same as last time.
……
The gate of the palace has been broken, and there are less than 30 guards left of the government minister, who are making final resistance in front of the bedroom.
The government minister was injured, and some divine punishers had broken into the bedroom. Only the king''s personal guards could resist them.
Everyone thought that the king was bound to die. At this time, the sound of neat hoofs appeared, and a team of war horses swept the punishers like a high wind. In the whole Roma country, only one cavalry had such combat power, and longesen''s brave war horse came.
The Government Secretary smiled and led his subordinates into the bedroom. Now he only needs to protect the king''s bedroom. The rest of the punishers will soon be cleaned up by Feng Xiaozhan.
Entering the gate of the bedroom and killing down the corridor to the bedroom, the Government Secretary was worried and all the bodyguards standing at the door of the bedroom were dead.
The punisher has broken into the king''s bedroom. Is the king still alive?
After taking a deep breath, the Government Secretary suddenly calmed down.
His death may not be a bad thing.
He also had three sons, one in the palace, and the other two had their own residences and lived outside the palace.
There is no shortage of heirs in the kingdom. Another person should not be worse than him.
Carrying a long sword, the government minister slowly walked into the bedroom and found the king sitting on the bed covered with blood, with the bodies of several divine punishers lying beside him.
Well, he is still alive. He almost forgot that he is a fourth-order believer of Zeus. It should be easy to deal with several divine punishment troops.
Strange, why does his sweat have a special smell?
It is a special fragrance. Believers who have just completed their promotion will shed such sweat.
It''s impossible. The king has just been promoted to level 4. How can he complete another promotion in such a short time?
The fragrance is also mixed with an indescribable smell, a little pungent, much like dust accumulated for many years.
The smell of loss, can you say... The king failed in his promotion?
"Lesio, you''re here at last." the King opened his mouth and the pungent smell came to his face. "Where have you been? Where''s longson? Where''s everyone!"
The minister explained, "general longson is still fighting at the head of the city. I have been guarding the palace."
"Guard?" the king smiled grimly. "Well, you guard well."
……
At dusk, the battle outside the city ended. The fierce battle gave barken a near devastating blow. The divine punishment army killed more than 10000 and injured more than 10000. Only 20000 people left in the 50000 army can continue to fight. Such serious war damage has destroyed the fighting will of this army.
Long Gesen, who came back from the victory, came to the gate of the palace and saw the corpses and ruins piled up all over the ground. He could imagine the king''s bad mood.
But the war was won after all, and longson was qualified to walk into the conference hall with his head raised.
The king looked gloomy, the government minister said nothing, and longson alone stated the situation of the war. The battle was enough to leave a brilliant mark in history, but it seemed so dull in the Council hall.
After reporting the results, the king slowly raised his head and said to longson, "you seem very proud?"
Longson said, "I am proud of the brave soldiers, I am proud of the majesty of the Kingdom, and I think it is something to be proud of."
"Yes, you have defended the Kingdom," sneered the king, "but who will defend me?"
Long Gesen was stunned. The king motioned him not to speak: "go back, all go back. May the Lord of the gods bless you. I''m tired. Let me have a rest."
Leaving the palace, long Gesen caught up with the government minister and asked in a low voice, "I don''t understand your Majesty''s meaning. I know he was injured and frightened, but he shouldn''t have wiped out the achievements of the soldiers. We are fighting to protect his kingdom."
The minister said, "the kingdom is the Kingdom, and the king is the king. Don''t confuse it."
Longson was more puzzled: "I don''t understand. The king is the master of the kingdom. Everything in the kingdom belongs to him. Defending the kingdom is defending the king!"
"He likes the power of the Kingdom, the support of nobles and civilians, the wealth and extravagant life of the Kingdom, but if his own life is threatened, the kingdom is worthless in his eyes." the government minister stared at longerson. He didn''t want to explain too much. He believed longerson could understand.
But long Gesen couldn''t understand. He misunderstood the government minister: "you put forward some cowardly suggestions to the king, didn''t you?"
The Government Secretary smiled bitterly and said, "why don''t you understand? This is the second time I have said this sentence. The cowardly man is not me. Longson, leave here and run away. Although it will ruin your reputation, at least you can live."
Of course, longersen would not escape. He could not understand the idea of the Minister of state, and his only favor for the Minister of state completely disappeared.
The king came to the north of the city, entered the underground temple, and knelt down before the high priest:
"Please tell the great lord of the gods that I pray for his help and forgiveness."
The high priest sighed, "the Lord of the gods will not blame you. It''s not your fault."
"Really?" there was a light in the king''s eyes. "Will the Lord of the gods forgive me? Can I become stronger?"
"Of course, your majesty. First go back to the palace and rest for a few days. You are very weak. When you recover, I will arrange another sacrifice for you."
The king nodded excitedly and left the temple. Looking at the king''s far away figure, the high priest sighed in his heart: "the opportunity is for you, but you''re useless."
……
After staying in the palace for three days, the king felt that his body had almost recovered. He took a carriage to the north of the city to find the high priest, but when he entered the tunnel, he found that he had entered a dead end.
At the end of the tunnel was dark soil. There was nothing else. The king ordered the guards to dig hard, but they found nothing except soil.
The underground temple disappeared as if it had never existed.
The king went back to the palace, long Gesen sent the war report, and the divine punishment army attacked the city again.
The king''s heart mentioned his throat, and all the nightmares related to the war appeared in front of him.
"Don''t let them hurt me, don''t let anyone hurt me! The Lord of the gods will protect me. I have the artifact of the Lord of the gods, and the Lord of the gods will protect me!"
Thinking of this, the king rushed into the basement. As long as there was aegis shield and lightning scepter, he believed that no one could hurt him.
Entering the basement, he opened three gates one after another and opened the heavy seals on the wooden box. The king was silly.
Both artifacts were gone, leaving only an empty wooden box.
The king slumped on the ground and wailed, "Lord of the gods, you abandoned me!"
