Chapter 506 Dragnet
In an instant, countless small stone chips and dust were raised on the street, and the ground made a crackling sound. The enemy was stunned, and clouds of blood mist erupted from behind - the dense bullets seemed to form an invisible wall. , Shengsheng blocked the charge of the crazy guards.
"Well done!"
"Kill these monsters!"
Nail also clenched his fists in excitement. The enemy's armor burst into sparks under the heavy machine gun fire. Hits on the head, chest and abdomen would kill him almost immediately. Even if he hit his hands and feet, his limbs would be broken, unlike a revolver gun. That way you can continue fighting. More importantly, there is almost no gap in bullet shooting, and it doesn't matter even if you miss two or three rounds.
When the gunfire stopped, white smoke was rising from the barrel. The Kuanghua Army left corpses on the ground and retreated in panic, while the enemies who were still shot and completely incapacitated lay on the ground wailing and groaning. In their eyes, Nail saw deep fear.
"Raise the gun!" the captain yelled fiercely.
Thinking of the teammate who was cut into two in front of him, Nailida picked up the rifle without hesitation.
With the road cleared, the team was finally able to move forward again.
When the five commandos arrived at the gate of the palace, they immediately set up temporary shooting positions in accordance with the training requirements and monitored the movements of other streets. In order to prevent being flanked by front and rear, the team attacking the inner city was divided into three regiments. Advance from the three main streets respectively, flanking each other, so that no matter which direction the enemy goes around, they will be blocked by the First Army.
However, Nailizhi discovered that the implementation of the plan was not as smooth as it was during the training. The streets to the south were set on fire and were almost impassable, and he encountered gravel obstacles that were difficult for field artillery to climb. Then spread out. When encountering a strong counterattack, the team members did not pay attention to the east, west, north, and south, and also forgot to observe Miss Lightning's flag signal. A commando team that originally belonged to their own regiment even disappeared, and gunshots could be heard everywhere in the inner city.
Fortunately, they were the first to arrive at the gathering place.
Half an hour later, each regiment arrived at the entrance of the palace one after another, and field artillery was slowly pushed up.
The hot air balloon floated over the palace again, and as four bombs flattened the garden walls and iron gates, the final battle began.
*********************
"Your Majesty, they have arrived at the entrance of the palace, run away!" Osborne, the imperial guard, said anxiously, "If you don't leave, it will be too late!"
Tifeike sat beside the big bed in the palace, silent. It was here that my father ended his life, and now it seemed it was his turn.
Taking advantage of the death of Wimbledon III, he took advantage of the situation and pushed the matter onto the eldest prince Gron, solving this biggest hidden danger and ascending to the pinnacle of power. In the next year, he successively integrated the Eastern Territory and the Northern Territory, and at the same time forced away his third sister Garcia, and his momentum was unparalleled.
I thought that sooner or later, I would take over the Western Territory and unify the entire Graycastle. It was only a matter of time, but I didn't expect that the situation would change so suddenly and unprepared.
First, the Kuanghua Army repeatedly attacked Border Town to no avail, and then the sudden explosion cast a shadow over his heart.
Then in just three days...all the advantages disappeared.
When he received the news from Chishui City, he never expected that he only had three days left to prepare - the snow in the north has not yet melted, and spring plowing has just entered the replanting stage. It is too early to go to various places to recruit militiamen. The letter of request for help sent to the east has probably just been delivered to the new Duke of the East.
In the end, he had to use the Royal Capital Knights, mercenary teams, patrols, and the guards and retinues of the surrounding nobles to rush to the battle. As a result, the majestic city wall that the Royal Capital was proud of could not even survive for a day.
"Bastard!" Tifeko suddenly slammed the candlestick on the bedside table to the ground, "Damn guy... If you hadn't colluded with the witch, if you hadn't taken refuge in the devil, how could you have defeated me!"
"His Majesty……"
"That's right, devil!" His voice was astringent, with a hint of trembling in anger, "The church is all useless. They claimed to hunt witches, but they missed Roland Wimbledon! If they weren't witches, why did he Firearms are so much more powerful than mine, why can he attack easily from the air? Whether it’s a craftsman, alchemist or wealth, I am hundreds of times more powerful than him! There is only one explanation, the devil from hell is helping him!”
Two explosions sounded below the palace, the window glass was shaken and rattled, and intermittent sounds of fighting were faintly heard. It was the last attempt of the guards.
No, I can't die yet! Tifeike thought bitterly, if he committed suicide, wouldn't it be an advantage to the other party? It should be his brother who deserves to go to hell.
"Let's go to the secret passage first." He stood up and his feet softened, and he almost fell down again, but luckily the guards held him up.
"Yes, Your Majesty," Osborne breathed a sigh of relief. He carried Tifeko on his back, called to the guards guarding the door, and walked toward the fireplace together.
This secret passage has both a living gate and a death door. Once the Death Door is lowered, the entrance will be completely blocked and will never be accessible. There are God's Stones of Punishment embedded everywhere in the ground, and there are also hidden mechanisms. In addition, the forked roads are complicated, and Tifeko has not yet explored all of them - probably since the construction of this palace, all the underground parts of the secret passages have been completed.
The six people walked to a larger lounge, and the new king stopped the team, allowing everyone to take a rest here while waiting for the opportunity to escape.
It is still daytime, and although there are several exits to the secret passage, and the longest one can even lead directly to the outside of the city, there is still a great risk in taking rash actions now. After all, the other party had a witch who could carry gunpowder to the sky, and this was still fresh in his mind.
The safest thing to do is to wait until the dead of night before taking action. This place is covered with sacred stones, and even witches cannot sneak in.
"Since we have to wait until late at night to set off, you can lie down here and take a nap first," the imperial guard took out a pile of blankets from the cabinet on one side and spread them on the floor.
Tifeko was lying on the blanket, and the slightly damp musty smell made him frown. Two emotions, nervousness and confusion, took turns hitting his mind, making it difficult to fall asleep no matter what.
Where to go next? Northland or Eastland?
There are nobles on both sides who support them, and the Duke is also their newly appointed vassal... But they know that after the fall of the royal capital, it is still a question whether they will still obey them as always.
Or...the church?
As soon as this idea came up, it grew wildly in his mind. The great nobles themselves were just outsiders. Even if his younger brother got involved with a witch, they would still choose to compromise when faced with threats, just like Longsong Fortress. Just like those guys. But the church... at least on the surface will not let any witch go, let alone the nobles who support a large number of witches.
Although this group of magicians are arrogant and slow, they will never sit back and watch the devil's power spread wantonly in the Kingdom of Graycastle.
If the church can fulfill its desire for revenge, what if it gives them their father's kingdom?
As long as...as long as I can send Roland Wimbledon to the guillotine with my own hands, and then torture those damn witches to death one by one, otherwise I won't be able to swallow this breath at all!
In the dim light of the torches, Tifeko made a decision.
Presuming that after midnight, the group of people escaped from the royal capital directly through the longest passage.
But before walking half a mile, more than a hundred fires suddenly lit up in the surrounding fields!
"Your Majesty, run quickly -" Osborne's words stopped abruptly in the middle of his sentence.
At this time, any words seemed redundant. The other party had obviously been prepared and had ambushed here to form an excellent encirclement, with people blocking everyone's direction, both front and rear.
Tifeko was so disheartened for a moment that he had no way to escape. (To be continued.)
