Chapter 938 The First Shot
When the light of dawn crossed the city wall and shot into the inner city of the capital, crowds of onlookers stood everywhere in the streets and alleys.
Glory City has never been so lively as it is today.
Unlike auctions where only wealthy businessmen and nobles participated, this was a "carnival" for all city residents. They had nothing to do with the high-ranking figures, and even the entry-level knights of the nobles were unattainable in the eyes of everyone. Now they had the opportunity to witness a change of power at the highest level, especially when they followed Earl Quinn's team slowly advancing, they even had the illusion that they were driving the changing situation.
Today, the saying of "conspiracy" has gradually disappeared, replaced by "fighting for the king"!
Who is the new master of Dawn will give a clear answer after this battle.
"It seems that in the hearts of everyone, your fame and reputation are extraordinary." Hill Fox rode alongside the earl on horseback. "I thought that the public opinion of the people would not change until you occupied the castle area."
"Probably because I have rectified the patrol team and dealt with the internal affairs of the capital for half my life." The old earl said with emotion, "Is this also the information you collected when you were running the circus?"
Although the other party was just a commoner without a title on the surface, and the identity of the acrobatic troupe performer was much lower than that of a freeman, Horford did not dare to underestimate him at all. According to Andrea, he is the agent of the King of Graycastle who has been stationed in Glory City, and his status is half higher than that of Ambassador Yorko. After Yorko withdrew, Hill not only did not leave, but instead ran several acrobatic troupes, spreading his eyes and ears to the streets and alleys of the city without revealing his identity. Facing someone who is both capable and trusted by Roland, even if he is an Earl, he has to show basic respect.
What's more, at this moment, he still needs the other party's help.
"The wishes of the people are very important, my lord." Hill nodded. "In the eyes of the great nobles, they may be just a piece of unremarkable loose sand, or lambs who provide taxes, but sometimes sand can also break teeth, and lambs can also Hit and kill the shepherd. If this scene happened in Neverwinter, I think the result would be completely different."
"What do you think will happen?" Earl Tokat, who was riding on the other side of the imperial prime minister, asked curiously.
"As long as there is any sign of this, the people will report the planner to the city hall before His Majesty needs to do anything," Hill said with a slight smile.
"Mr. Hill..." Otolosi's friend Orotokart coughed twice, and pointed behind him, "Did you find the mouse that followed our team?"
"I just happen to have a little friendship with their leader," Hill said frankly, "How about it, this way our momentum will appear much larger."
That's true, the old earl thought to himself, after putting on the leather armor provided by the "Black Money" Chamber of Commerce, more than a thousand mice looked decent at first glance, otherwise they could only rely on forty extraordinary warriors and others And Earl Tokat's attendants are indeed a little thin. But a mouse was a mouse after all, and besides being useless at all, he felt a little uncomfortable that he, a dignified nobleman, had to accompany a black street mouse.
In addition, they are notorious for their duplicity and exorbitant asking prices. God knows what kind of agreement Hill has reached with the other party.
"Aren't you worried that this group of people will mutiny on the spot?" Oro obviously couldn't hold back the words in his heart, "You must know that betrayal is commonplace for them."
"That depends on what the bargaining chip is." Hill looked at Earl Quinn, "In your name, I promised them the status of a free citizen—if you can successfully become the Lord of the Dawn, they can bid farewell to the precarious situation." Live and become a citizen of the City of Glory under your protection."
Horford couldn't help wrinkling --0---0---small--say---this is a gorgeous dividing line--let go of that witch 00 novel netizen please remind: Please pay attention to the rest of your eyes when reading for a long time.

Even if I absolve them of their past sins, if this cannot be fundamentally changed, then the status given will be meaningless, and sooner or later they will become again mouse."
"Since these people are willing to take such a trip for their status, it means that they are not stupid or lazy, and what they lack may be just an opportunity." Hill said with a relaxed tone, "As for the reason for the fall...don't worry, wait until Your Majesty When the emissaries of the lords come again, you'll find that the City of Radiance will never be short of jobs. You don't have to keep them—because they'll support themselves then."
Passing through the market area, the mighty procession entered the Rising Sun Avenue, and the walls of the castle area were within sight.
Behind the stone wall is the place where the Moya family lived for generations.
Looking at the palace and towers illuminated by the morning light, Horford suddenly became a little nervous—he had worked as the imperial prime minister for more than ten years, and had experienced too many twists and turns, except for discovering that his daughter was a witch, and Fenash Apart from the death of illness, it is difficult to have anything to make his mood fluctuate. But today, by chance and coincidence, he stood in front of a brand new field.
Even if the person behind the scenes is the King of Graycastle, even if he is only fighting for the title in name, but as long as he goes one step further, the Quinn family will reach the pinnacle that nobles can achieve - becoming a royal family in charge of a country!
Although he violated the admonitions of his ancestors, he made it possible for the family to break through the chrysalis and turn into butterflies.
With such a complicated mood, the old earl couldn't help asking, "Let my daughter participate in this battle...is it really all right?"
"Of course, you may not know that Andrea is no longer the noble lady who couldn't do without your protection in the past. She is now an outstanding battle witch, and the first shot of this siege battle was It's her who will start the attack." Hill smiled, "You also prepare, and then make the final offensive speech—not to the extraordinary warriors and mice, but to the masses who accompanied us here. Tell them: Dawn A new era is coming soon."
...
Andrea stood on the top floor of the clock tower, facing the wind.
This is the only place in the inner city where you can overlook the stone wall of the palace, and the distance between the two is a thousand steps away. Looking from a distance, the magnificent palace seems to be able to embrace with both arms, and the busy figures inside are like inconspicuous ants.
For the Castle District, this is an absolutely safe distance. Not even a heavy trebuchet could threaten the stone wall here.
And she will be here, opening a gap for the God's Punishment Witch who is attacking the city.
At this moment, a red firework shot straight into the sky appeared above Rising Sun Avenue—that was the signal for the beginning of the battle.
She took off the bolt-action rifle that Miss Anna personally built for her, pressed the ten-round magazine into the chamber, opened the scope, and raised the gun body.
A knight in full body armor came into her vision.
Andrea took a deep breath and activated the magic power in her body - it was a wonderful feeling, the magic power seemed to turn into a pair of gentle big hands, gently supporting her arms, elbows and ten fingers. Under such a package, she felt that she had entered a mysterious realm, which was both as solid as a rock and as light as a feather.
The former kept the weapon in her hand still, while the latter made her a part of the wind, gently swaying with the air current caressing her cheek. The moment the two merged into one, Andrea pulled the trigger——
The high-speed spinning bullet escaped with a roar and high heat, and under the traction of the wind and the ground, it fell straight towards the stone wall!
