Chapter 2152: Public Enemy of Uselessness
The rear was captured, and the king fell into the hands of the Bull Group. The Knights in the front no longer had the heart to continue fighting the Magic Emperor. They wanted to go back and rescue the king now.
Although the Magic Emperor didn't know what happened, the opponent's line was in chaos, which was a good opportunity.
"Retreat!" Although he hoped to take down the Magic Emperor in one go, it was definitely not possible now. Without the king, the country would be incomplete.
"Don't chase." The Magic Emperor knew that they were temporarily safe. It seemed that something happened in the capital.
The farmers cheered because they won. Although they paid some price, they protected their harvests, and their lives will get better and better in the future.
The Magic Emperor knew that he couldn't be happy too early. Although the Knights retreated, the main force was not damaged. Only a dozen corpses were left behind, which was not a big loss: "Everyone clean up the battlefield, and then we will hold a meeting to summarize this battle and see our strengths and weaknesses."
The advantage is that the fighting will is very strong. Although the strength is not enough, in the previous battles, there were no farmers who were afraid of death. They all rushed to the front at the first time and were very brave. But this advantage can't actually directly reverse the situation.
There are many shortcomings, such as not knowing how to cooperate, not being accurate enough in magic, not listening to orders, being greedy for merit and advancing recklessly, etc.
There are too many shortcomings. The reserve team recruited by the Magic Emperor is okay, but the other gathered peasants are disorganized and undisciplined. Now the Magic Emperor needs to use the gaps in the battle to improve his combat effectiveness.
Peasant uprisings always have limitations, so although there are many times, there are only a few successful ones, and most peasant uprisings fail in the end because of their own problems.
And successful peasant uprisings are definitely great history that has never been seen before. If you want to succeed, you need to change many bad habits of peasants and make them have ideals and discipline.
The Magic Emperor himself is an idealist. He has no lack of ideals, and he is willing to share his ideals with everyone. As for discipline, there is no problem. The Magic Emperor is the leader of the Knights, and he can bring rules to this team.
The main force of the Knights turned back and returned to the capital at full speed. The Bull Group immediately took on all the pressure.
In the palace, the Bull Group looked at Duran, wondering if he had any suggestions.
"We can escape through the portal." Seeing that Duran didn't speak, the tool man said that he wanted to run first. Obviously, his mind still didn't change, and he still ran when he thought of a problem.
But Asta said no: "If we leave, they will turn around and attack the Magic Emperor again." Asta was right this time, they must stay to attract firepower and buy time for the Magic Emperor.
But even if they are in the palace, they can't stop the main force. Which of these noble magician leaders of the main force is not the existence of tearing the city wall with their hands? No matter how strong the palace is, it can't stop these people.
"We can't stop it." Everyone looked at Duran again.
Duran laughed: "I can't take action, I can only give you some suggestions. Your thinking should be more active, don't just think about magic, the chips in your hands are not just magic, there should be other things, your thinking should be divergent."
Chips other than magic?
Obviously talking about the king, but can a king really stop thousands of troops? Will they really care about the king's safety?
"I'm afraid they will rush in regardless of everything, and we can't really do anything to the king."
"There are indeed such people, but such lunatics will be stopped by rational people. As long as they are rational, they will not ignore the king's safety." Duran said that there are indeed some lunatics in the Knights, such as the tool man's brother, who is a complete paranoid. He is likely to attack with all his strength regardless of the king's safety. But other people will stop him. After all, the king is still very important, because the king is the head of the current system. Even if he is just a mascot, he cannot be destroyed.
If they ignore the king, how can they use rules to restrain the people below? For any organization, the content of conventions is very important.
For example, a country is a factory. There are not only rules and regulations in the factory, but also gossip and unspoken rules in the workshop, office, and canteen.
All workers have their own duties because everyone abides by the factory's system and unspoken rules. If someone dares to openly destroy it, he will be resisted by others. And if the destroyer is not suppressed but succeeds, then the factory may go bankrupt, because everyone will want to imitate the person who breaks the rules.
Although the king is a mascot, he also represents a part of the rules, so he must exist. Otherwise, it will be the "collapse of rituals and music", and then the killing of fathers and sons and the killing of monarchs and ministers will become the norm.
Never overestimate the bottom line of human beings, because it is difficult to be noble, but it is easy to be mean.
Duran meant to use the king as a threat to prevent them from getting close.
"They will surround us, but they dare not act rashly. They will find ways to cut off our food and keep harassing us to make us tired, hoping that we can reveal a flaw so that they can rescue the king." Duran has already thought of what the knights outside will do: "But don't be afraid, as long as we control the king, they will be cautious. We can let them send food in. The only thing to worry about is that they will harass us from time to time and consume our energy. But it doesn't matter. We just need to hold on for enough time. At that time, the Magic Emperor and Ye Jian will definitely take action."
Everyone thought it was right, so let's do it first.
Asta escorted the king to the city wall and told the enemies outside not to act rashly.
The king also cooperated because he was more afraid of death than anyone else. He had a lot of wealth and glory that he had not yet enjoyed, and he did not want to die. So he yelled on the city wall to let the Knights retreat, and he would never let anyone who dared to approach them go.
Although he did not like the king, he could not act rashly for the sake of the rules. The Knights also began to surround the palace as Duran thought.
"They didn't run away? It seems that they want to keep us here." The Knights also realized that the other party had a portal magic but did not run away. There must be a purpose: "Are they going to cooperate with the Magic Emperor from inside and outside?"
"No matter what they want to do, we just have to do our job well and summon all the Knights' combat power back. If the Magic Emperor wants to come, we can just destroy them all."
The Knights are not stupid, they will be prepared.
The residents of the capital don't know what happened. Now they are in danger and dare not go out. The entire capital is under martial law, and an atmosphere of impending storms comes unexpectedly.
The people in the palace were not in danger of controlling the king for the time being, but they were exhausted. When they thought about it now, it was like a dream. They did not expect that they had gone from being despised waste to being the public enemy of the kingdom. They did not know whether this change was a joy or a sorrow. They were despised before, but now they are hostile. It seems that hostility is easier to bear. After all, enemies do not need to be polite and do not need to care about each other's thoughts. If they do not become enemies, they will not only be despised, but also have to think about those who despise them. This is too disadvantageous.
