The Happy News of Victory in the Seventy-Eighth Section
Just as the lords were confronting each other with Lemondo and others, a loud bursting sound suddenly came from outside the main tower. As the wooden door at the gate was blown open, the soldiers and knights in Haas Berg Castle looked like earth. The Pumbrus people who had been waiting in the trench for several days heard the loud noise and saw the opening of the castle gate. Knowing that Mag and others had successfully completed the task, they cheered and rushed into the castle. Without the encouragement of the sergeant, the mercenaries also knew that victory had been achieved. They were eager to occupy the castle and looted it. With the inspiration of wealth, the mercenaries rushed into the castle with arrows above their heads.
"Ah, it's over." Lemondo walked a few steps to the window of the main tower and saw the Pumbrus people entering with blood on their faces. Although the guards in the castle tried their best to stop it, the mercenaries who rushed in continued to chop off the people who stopped moving forward one after another.
"Lermondo, it's still time to surrender now, follow us." As the lowland lords, they looked happy as if they had captured the castle themselves. They shamelessly advised Lemondo.
"If you despicable guys, if you hadn't put the Pumbrus people in the Pumbrus, how could we be captured so quickly? You dare to poison the commander." Lemondo said gritting his teeth at these short-sighted and selfish nobles. To him, Pedro was not only his friend, but also received a lot of help and guidance from Pedro after he inherited the territory. It can be said that the two were both teachers and friends, but now they were poisoned by their own compatriots.
"We have no choice. If he obeyed our words and surrendered, this would not have happened." The lords said.
"Damn it, the knights kill these despicable people." Lemondo, who was angry by the shamelessness of the lords, had already been unable to control the orders of the inner knights stabbed the lords with swords. In the narrow command room, the sword light and sword shadows suddenly rose, and the collision between the swords and the screams of the stabbed people echoed in the stone building. Lemondo led his knights to fight bravely, and soon cut the lords' guards to the ground and forced the lords to the corner.
"We are here at the right time." Just as the lords, who are internal forces, were about to be killed, suddenly rushed in from outside the main tower. They were wearing ordinary linen clothes and holding big swords in their hands. This was Mag and others. Behind them were the knights of the lowland lords. It turned out that after Mag and others found that they were being followed, they realized that their whereabouts had been discovered. So they took the initiative to blow up the castle gate first and put their troops into the castle. William thought that since the commander of the castle had discovered that he and others had been, they were
The lords who called the main castle must have been detained. These people were the key to the future rule of the lowland territory. Therefore, they and their group quickly marched into the main castle. On the way they came, they met the knights of the lowland lords. So the two teams combined into one and advanced into the main castle. Because Pedro fell down in poisoning, the lords in the main castle divided into two factions to confront each other, causing the defense of the main castle to be extremely relaxed. The soldiers were in panic all day long. Mag and others actually dispersed the soldiers very smoothly and entered the main castle. What they encountered was the scene in front of them.
"Damn it, guys who went to hell." Lemondo was so angry that he was so angry that the Pumbrus people and the lowland lords combined, and their troops had exceeded the inner knights in his hands. The situation immediately became dangerous. In fact, even if the lords in front of him were killed, the fact that the castle was captured would not change. Lemondo felt sad.
"Sir, take Lord Pedro away, let's stop here." The knights of Lemondo's inner palace immediately stood shoulder to shoulder in front of him. The knights in heavy helmets resisted the attacking enemy tightly, trying to buy time for their monarch to escape.
"Lemondo, let me go, I, go quickly." Pedro, whose venom had already walked all over his body, his lips were shaking black. He regretted not not not listening to Lemondo and guarding against these despicable compatriots, but it was too late to say anything now.
"I will support you, Lord Pedro." Lemondo's eyes were blurred with tears. Pedro, who was determined to fight for the interests of the lowlanders, was about to die under such despicable tricks.
Lemondo helped Pedro and walked towards the side door of the command room. There was a prayer room. Lemondo's idea was very simple. If he wanted to die, he would die in this sacred place. At least his soul was pure. He closed the solid wooden door and inserted a wooden bolt, and then pressed a heavy wooden chair in the prayer room against the wooden door. After doing all this, he sat on the ground next to Pedro who was lying on the ground.
"Lermondo, are we going to die here?" Pedro's voice and breath became weaker and weaker. He tried hard to make a sound, and black blood flowed out of his mouth, and his consciousness became blurred.
"Yes, Lord Pedro, but you are a heroic and honorable knight. God will accept your soul." Lemondo said to Pedro expressionlessly when he heard the knocked wooden door.
"No, it doesn't matter if I die, but you can't die, help me up quickly." Suddenly, he didn't know what Pedro remembered, so he struggled hard because a sick rosy appeared on Pedro's face after reappearing.
"What's wrong? Lord Pedro?" Lemondo asked in confusion.
"Look, that." Pedro pointed his finger straight at the cross in the prayer room. Lemondo didn't know what Pedro meant, but he still walked to the front of the cross.
"Is this?"
"Yes, push it away and avenge us." Pedro shouted suddenly, using his last strength to finally exhaust his life.
"Master Pedro." Lemondo shouted in grief and anger, but after Pedro fell, there was no sign of life. Lemondo pushed the cross with his hand. Suddenly, the stone slab connected to the cross loosened. In surprise, Lemondo hurriedly continued to push hard, and at this time the wooden door of the prayer room was knocked and rattled.
"Crack~~~." It turned out that after the cross was opened, there was a cave entrance that could accommodate a person. This was actually the secret passage of the castle. Lemondo ignored the sigh and immediately drilled into the cave entrance and groped forward. The exit of the cave entrance was in the forest more than ten miles away from the castle. Where could he escape smoothly?
"Boom~~~." When Lemondo entered the secret passage and escaped, the wooden door of the prayer room was also knocked open by Mag and others outside. As for Lemondo's knights, all of them were killed.
"What's going on? What about people?" Mag and others rushed into the prayer room and saw only one of Pedro's bodies, while Lemondo was gone.
"Look here, the entrance to the secret passage, damn, he ran away." Little William walked to the cross on the prayer platform, and the cross was pushed aside. The place that was supposed to be in the central position became a hole, and you could feel the fresh air when you walked to the hole.
"Several people go down and chase after you immediately." Mag ordered, and several mercenaries immediately brought their swords and drilled down from the entrance of the cave to track the escaped Lemondo.
When the main castle was captured, the entire Haas Bergburg had basically been occupied by the Pumbrus people. Schwab accompanied the proud Prince Masimilk to ride a horse and entered the castle that symbolized the autonomy of the Lowlands under the crowd of knights and soldiers. He watched several mercenaries throwing down a flag representing the Pedro family's emblem from the city. The mercenaries of the Eagle Warriors held up their weapons and shouted excitedly.
"Your Highness, we have obtained this castle, and soon other lords will surrender to you." Schwab said to Prince Masimilk, who was immediately excited and looked at him.
"Of course, Haas Berg Castle is the pride of the Lowlanders and the largest fortress used to fight against us. Since it has fallen into our hands, the other lords will also recognize the current affairs, but all this is your credit." Prince Masimilke said happily.
"There are the reasons why you are favored by God, Your Highness," Schwab said quickly, but General Bruce beside him had a very ugly face. Although Schwab said that the prince was favored by God, anyone with discerning eyes knew that if Schwab had not been in good command, how could this castle fall so quickly? The greater the contribution of Schwab, the more sad the life of General Bruce would be, not to mention that Schwab did not look proud at all, which would win the favor of the royal family.
"Haha, you are such a humble and good knight. Come on, convey this good news to my father immediately. Oh, and let my father-in-law know, go." The prince Masimirk, who was still excited, asked the messenger to report the good news to his father and father-in-law.
The commander who received the order did not dare to slack off immediately and rode the best horse to the royal Fort Thuwaben, while another commander went to the territory of the prince's father-in-law, Duke Bergend. After a day and night, the commander soon arrived at the royal castle. King Pumbrus was staying in the castle at this time. He often went to the church recently. Perhaps the old king was not a devout believer before, but recently he prayed day and night for the safety of his son, and accompanied him was His Highness. Under the arch of the church, the crisp voices of the children in the singing singing class echoed. The old king, who was praying with his eyes closed, felt that he was already talking to God. Suddenly, with a loud bang, the church gate was opened, which was particularly harsh in the quiet church.
"Who is so bold?" The frightened old king stood up from his kneeling mat in anger. His princess quickly stepped forward to support him who was trembling.
"Your Majesty, good news, His Highness the Prince led his army to defeat the lowland lords and conquered Haas Bergburg Castle. This is a great victory." The messenger's face was filled with an incredible smile, and his excitement was undoubtedly revealed. This was the greatest victory of the royal family since Frederick the Great.
"What? Is this true? My son won." The old king couldn't believe it was true. Until he repeated confirmation, he was happy and turned around and knelt in front of the cross, and kept muttering, "Thank God, thank the Lord for the gift."
When the old king was grateful to God and donated a silver house to the priests of the church, the father-in-law of the prince Masimirk and Duke Bergend also received the news. He was not as ecstatic as the old king. In his opinion, this was his daughter's dowry, and it was natural to be taken back by Prince Masimirk. However, he originally regarded this territory as his daughter's dowry, but he did not expect that Prince Masimirk could defeat those difficult low-land lords, which was unexpected.
"I really didn't expect that my son-in-law was surprisingly capable, haha." The duke sat on a wooden chair, and there were a pile of silver coins and gold coins on the wooden table with gold edges in front of him. The wealthy Duke of Bergend liked to put these golden things in front of him. Looking at these, he could feel his strength. The territory of Bergend was located in the south and reached the Kingdom of Bru. It not only had fertile land but also had a developed business.
The Duke used this financial resources to form a powerful Knights of Bergend. These powerful knights wearing chain armor and plate armor made the Duke have an unshakable political status between the Kingdom of Pummenbruce, the Kingdom of Bruce, and even the city-states in the south. This was also the reason why the old king did not want to marry him at first. However, the Duke did not want to marry the royal family at first, because the king of the Kingdom of Bruce also sent an envoy to ask the princess to marry his son Prince Philip. The Duke rarely hesitated for a while between King of Bruce and King of Pummenbruce. However, in the end he chose Prince Masimilk. He did not have a good impression of Prince Masimilk, but felt that under the rule of the weak Prince Masimilk, he could gain greater benefits. However, now it seems that this prince is not an ordinary person.
"Am I wrong?" Duke Bergend held his head and frowned. But since he had married the royal family, if his son-in-law could become a capable king, it would be a good development opportunity for his family. You should know that the Kingdom of Pummenbruce is the only country in history that can be crowned emperor by the Holy Father, and this is also the special political status of the Kingdom of Pummenbruce.
