Chapter 73; Fighting for the King (11)
A group of people were running in front on wildebeests, and one person was chasing after them on a hoverbike. From time to time, they would shoot with guns. After chasing for five miles, they saw people falling off their wildebeests. Marquis Roebling's
His mentality collapsed. At this time, he had to admit that attacking the small border town might really be a wrong decision. Looking at the two dozen people left on his left and right, Marquis Roblin moved his mouth and wanted to say something.
What, at this moment, Viscount Yinguang spoke first;
"Let's surrender..."
"Surrender?" Marquis Roblin screamed and looked at the young Viscount Silverlight with disbelief. "You actually want to surrender to that useless third prince? Does this guy know what he is talking about?"
"Otherwise, what else can we do? According to the etiquette of the nobles, we have the right to redeem ourselves after surrender. Spending a little money is better than leaving our lives here, right?" Viscount Yinguang said helplessly;
"You..." Marquis Roblin opened his mouth to curse, but when he saw the thinking expressions of several people around him, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh;
After listening to Viscount Yinguang's words, Old Fermi was indeed tempted. His relationship with the eldest prince was not that close. His Highness the third prince should not embarrass him. At most, he promised not to disturb the relationship between the third prince and the eldest prince in the future.
Thinking of this, old Fermi winked at several of his confidants, and the wildebeests they sat down began to speed up.
Then, before Marquis Roblin could react, Old Fermi and others suddenly surrounded Marquis Roblin's wildebeests and shouted to the back, "Friends from the small border town, we have surrounded Marquis Roblin."
, please bring the greetings of my Hongke Chelsea Fermi to His Highness the Third Prince, we surrender!"
"Asshole, old guy, what do you want to do?" Marquis Roebling yelled angrily;
Ye Zhao looked up and almost laughed out loud. The guy named Femi said he wanted to surround Marquis Roblin, but he only let a few of his close wildebeests gallop around Marquis Roblin, but the horns
The horse is still galloping forward. Obviously, the other party does not believe in him. If he does not accept their surrender, they will still escape without looking back.
"Stop there and wait for me."
After Ye Zhao shouted, he increased the accelerator and quickly chased after them. At this time, these nobles discovered that the guy behind them was riding so fast. The reason why he didn't catch up with them just now was probably just to prevent them.
They fought back before they died, so they were hung at such a short distance and at the same time reducing their number.
Now that there are only so few people left, fighting hard is simply asking for death. All the nobles looked at each other with ashen faces.
"You will definitely regret it!" Marquis Roebling shouted loudly; "Do you think that guy will really let you go? Stop kidding, he will kill you all and take away your wealth and women. You will definitely regret it.
!”
The other nobles listened to Marquis Roblin's curses with frosty faces. After all, the other party's remaining power was still there. Only old Fermi was not used to Marquis Roblin at all; "It's not all because of you that we are where we are today."
We don’t know what benefits the prince promised you, but you are determined to attack the small border town, and we have been used as a spear by you from the beginning to the end!"
"Hmph, you old guy is the most hateful. When the King's Order first started, you were the first to come to me to flatter me, and now you are also the first to attack me. You are simply a disgrace to the Fermi family!"
These normally aloof nobles are now quarreling like common people. A few hundred meters away, on the three-foot-high wall of Chishui City, there are more than a dozen fighters guarding the city wall. At this time, they are arming each other.
While chatting, at this moment, the man standing on the tower suddenly shouted;
"There is a situation outside the city, please be alert!"
Upon hearing the reminder from their companions, the defenders drew their weapons one after another, stretched their heads and stared outside the city, but they could not see anything except a few small black dots of figures in the distance. The leader took out a monocular telescope from his arms,
After taking a look outside the city, he screamed in surprise;
"That's the city lord, Marquis Roblin!"
"Lord City Lord? Didn't Lord City Lord go to attack the small border town? Why are you back now?"
"The Lord of the City has returned to the city after victory. I wonder if he will reward us tonight."
"What's wrong with you? If you want to reward me, you should also reward the fighting team who went out to fight."
"Damn it, I've long said that going to a small border town is a waste of time. You insist on letting me go. You see, the Lord of the City is back so soon, and the reward for labor and management is in vain."
"Fart, am I not letting you go? Your wife is about to give birth, and you still want to go to war? Be more careful..."
"His wife is about to give birth, why are you so nervous?"
"..."
While the defenders were chatting away, the leader holding a monocular said with a gloomy face, "It doesn't look like we won the battle... The Lord of the City seems to have escaped...
..There are only about twenty people following the city lord, and they look very embarrassed."
There was silence for a moment, and then the defenders suddenly exploded.
"It failed. How is this possible? The city lord set out with more than a thousand people. Who can tell me how many people there are in the small border town?"
"Do you think the city lord encountered a tide of beasts?"
"Fart, can those stupid beasts hurt the army?"
The team leader was silent for a moment, and then continued; "I don't know the specific situation, but brothers, our city lord seems to be in trouble. Go and notify the defenders staying in Chishui City to follow me out of the city to meet the city lord!"
Dozens of fighters gathered their weapons and rushed out of the city gate. The huge commotion attracted merchants, mercenaries and ordinary residents in Chishui City. Some of these good guys followed the fighters carefully and rushed out of the city, while others rushed out of the city.
They climbed up the city wall and looked into the distance. At this time, they didn't know the news of Marquis Roblin's defeat. They just wanted to watch the fun.
The unique roar of the motorcycle came from far to near, and soon stopped in front of Marquis Roblin and others. It made a sudden horizontal stop. Ye Zhao stepped off the motorcycle in one step and put it into his personal space package. Simply
An action made the eyes of the nobles in Chishui City jump. What is the mount that can run so fast? Where has it been received by him? What kind of magical trick is this... Ye Zhao came to Marquis Roblin and others.
Standing forward, except for Roblin, everyone else lowered their heads in panic and did not dare to look at Ye Zhao. This battle was extremely frustrating, and they were defeated without even having a chance to fight the enemy.
, many people did not even take out their swords from their scabbards. This was something they could not have imagined before setting off.
Now facing this victor, these nobles felt fear, humiliation, and unwillingness...
Old Fermi looked at Ye Zhao, who looked kind-hearted. He encouraged himself secretly in his heart, and then cautiously said to Ye Zhao: "Your Excellency has won this war. Please allow me to offer you my most noble words."
This is an unprecedented great victory. Your name will be recorded in history forever. Your reputation will spread all over the world. Bards will praise your bravery and the younger generations will pay homage to your glory...
"
The tall hats came down one after another, but Ye Zhao's heart was not disturbed at all. He even wanted to laugh a little, and waved his hand to interrupt the other party's words: "What on earth do you want to say? Speak carefully..."
Old Fermi coughed awkwardly; "I am Count Fermi, the patriarch of the Fermi family in Chishui City. I hope that you will abide by noble etiquette and treat us captives kindly. Also, please allow me to redeem myself."
Ye Zhao chuckled and put away the steam gun; "I heard that Chishui City is jointly managed by four major families. Are all the people from the four major families here?"
"Yes, we want to redeem ourselves too."
"Yes, please tell me how many silver dollars you need."
"Whether you want money or things, we will try our best to meet your requirements."
Ye Zhao smiled; "So, how many silver coins can you offer?"
Seeing that the other party was willing to abide by the aristocratic etiquette, these noble men in Chishui City were slightly relieved, and then they started to talk to Ye Zhao about the terms with one glance. Some said that they were only viscounts and could only offer 50 silver coins, and some
He said that before paying the ransom, he asked Ye Zhao to arrange a comfortable environment for them... Do these guys really have the consciousness of being prisoners? Ye Zhao is very curious...
The messy sound caused Ye Zhao's eyes to narrow slightly, and the fingers of his left hand on his side began to beat slightly. This was a sign that Ye Zhao was about to take action, but the group of people in front of him obviously did not realize the danger, and then
, Ye Zhaozhuang asked seemingly unintentionally: "Who is Marquis Roblin?"
Although these prisoners did not speak, the look they looked at Marquis Roblin told Ye Zhao the answer. Marquis Roblin knew that he could no longer hide, but he did not beg for mercy, but turned to Ye Zhao angrily.
shouted;
"Labour and management are Roblin, what do you want? I don't believe you dare to touch me. I am the father-in-law of His Highness the eldest prince. If something happens to me, let alone you, even the third prince behind you will die.
Burial place..."
"boom!"
A gunshot interrupted Marquis Roblin's words. After determining who the target was, Ye Zhao walked to the target in a few steps, pulled out the pistol from his waist, put the muzzle of the gun against Marquis Roblin's forehead and fired directly.
There was not a word of nonsense. The other prisoners looked at the Marquis Roblin who was slowly falling to the ground with blank expressions. What on earth is going on? The nobles were defeated and captured. Couldn't they redeem themselves with ransom? Why did they kill people?
?Does this guy understand the rules?
Not only were these noble prisoners stunned, but even the Chishui City defenders who were still running towards us in the distance were all dumbfounded. Is the Lord of the City dead? Just died outside Chishui City like this? What on earth is going on?
?Should we avenge the city lord now? But the city lord is dead and all the loyal people are gone. Even if we take revenge, what will happen?
"Your Excellency, what do you mean? Didn't we just talk about it? Why do we want to kill people?" One of the nobles asked Ye Zhao fearfully. He didn't know whether Ye Zhao only wanted to kill Marquis Roblin or not to let anyone go.
.
Ye Zhao was silent and turned to look at the other person, then raised his hand and shot him in the head. Everyone was startled. Old Fermi was the first to come back to his senses and shouted: "Run, this guy is a
Madman, he doesn’t follow the rules at all!”
Old Femi's only thought now is that that bastard Roblin really got it right...
More than 20 people screamed and began to flee from all directions, but they were too close to Ye Zhao at this time, and Ye Zhao would not give them any chance. He fired rapidly with his pistol, and the prisoners fell one after another.
Several fighters, seeing that they could not escape, simply drew their weapons and rushed towards Ye Zhao. However, this trapped beast did not cause any trouble to Ye Zhao. In a moment, only one of the twenty prisoners was left, not because of Ye Zhao's men.
There was no mercy, but because this man didn't run away at all. He smartly saw that Ye Zhao would kill those who ran fast first, so he stayed where he was.
At this moment, when he saw that everyone except himself was dead, his hands and feet became cold for a moment. Without any hesitation, he knelt down on one knee, lowered his head and swore allegiance to Ye Zhao. The man in front of him was so terrifying, and he looked so kind just a moment ago.
He discussed the ransom with everyone, and then immediately started killing people the next second. Killing seemed to be a very simple thing for him, and it did not cause any emotional fluctuations in him. This kind of person is either a madman, or he has already
Habitual to kill...
At this time, the defenders of Chishui City also rushed here. They stood about fifty meters away from Ye Zhao and did not dare to get close. Looking at the corpses on the ground, they looked at each other blankly. Some even had corpses in their hands.
The weapon fell to the ground with a clang. The leaders of the four major families in Chishui City were all dead. What should Chishui City do in the future? What should we do?
Further away, the civilians watching the excitement did not care about this. Who would be the lord of Chishui City was not something they could worry about. The only thing they cared about now was who was that tall guy with no neck?
He doesn't look like a good person!
"Big event! Big event! Chishui City is going to change!"
Some timid civilians ran back to the city quickly, fearing that the murderous man in black would find them, while other merchants began to call their friends. They wanted to rush back to Chishui City to sort out their goods, and then immediately left this place of trouble and trouble.
, all the people in power in Chishui City are dead, and a turmoil is likely to break out later, and there is not much time left for you.
Ye Zhao ignored the people eating melons in the distance. He put the pistol on his index finger and turned it around. He looked down at the man kneeling in front of him and asked, "You are very smart. What is your name?"
"My name is Us Philerson Silverlight, and I am a viscount, my lord."
Viscount Yinguang replied cautiously. Looking at the marquis and earls who fell to the ground and turned into corpses, it was impossible to say that he was not afraid. However, Viscount Yinguang felt that his first step was right. He did not run away. Those who ran away
Everyone died. Although I might die in the end, I survived for a while longer than them, so I made the right bet on this step. As for the second step...
Viscount Yinguang mustered up the courage to look up at Ye Zhao and said, "Your Excellency, you don't know much about Chishui City. It is not easy to control such a large city. Our Yinguang family has lived in Chishui City for several generations. We can come forward and provide full assistance."
Your Excellency controls Chishui City, and I can guarantee that Chishui City will be your city from now on."
He thought he was smart not to mention the third prince, but directly pledged his allegiance to Ye Zhao. However, Ye Zhao did not point out this little thought. Ye Zhao did not care about Chishui City. After all, he would leave after completing the mission, but in order to avoid
In the end, the third prince was unwilling to pay the commission, so it was necessary to place his own people around the third prince. Thinking of this, Ye Zhao smiled and asked, "Who said I want to control Chishui City?"
Viscount Yinguang was stunned, looked up at Ye Zhao and muttered: "If it wasn't for Chishui City, why would you kill them..."
"Haha." Ye Zhao walked to Viscount Yinguang and patted his shoulder, helped him up from the ground, and asked, "Then tell me, even if it is for Chishui City, why do I have to kill all these people?"
killed?"
Viscount Yinguang's face calmed down a little, and after he collected his thoughts, he said, "The four major families have ruled Chishui City for a long time, and the forces within them are intertwined and very complex. If you want to completely control Chishui City in a short time, you can only change the original
Kill all those in power and support new forces loyal to you to come to power, so that those old forces will not secretly create trouble for you."
"You are very smart. I like to talk to smart people, but smart people tend to have greater ambitions and more desires."
"A truly smart person will understand what he deserves and what he cannot control. Only those who think they are smart will pursue ambitions that are not in line with their own strength."
"You are indeed very smart. Are you sure you want to be loyal to me?"
"Yes, my lord."
Viscount Yinguang was convinced that he had taken the right step in this second step. He heard Ye Zhao smile and say, "Okay, let's pay our allegiance."
Without any hesitation, Viscount Yinguang took out his sword, knelt down on one knee again, raised the sword with both hands, handed it to Ye Zhao respectfully, lowered his head and said solemnly;
"God of light and shadow, I, Wus Feilison. Silver Light, hereby swear an oath. From now on, I am willing to take you as my master and become the sword in your hands and the armor on your body. If you violate this oath, both humans and gods will be abandoned."
!”
After he finished speaking, Ye Zhao took Viscount Yinguang's sword and held it in his hand, then gently patted his shoulder with the back of the sword to acknowledge his allegiance, and then Viscount Yinguang leaned down.
, kissed Ye Zhao’s instep, and this was considered the ceremony.
Ye Zhao read this set of rules from one of the books in the third prince's study. Although he did not believe that after completing such a set of etiquette, the other party would really be loyal to him wholeheartedly, but this is how the world is.
There is no need to act independently.
Pointing at the Chishui City defenders not far away, Ye Zhao asked, "Can you control them?"
"I will try my best."
"I don't like to hear my subordinates talk about how hard I work. I just want to get results."
Viscount Yinguang gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Yes, sir, I can do it. I will convince this group of fighters and control them."
"Very good, within three days at most, the musketeers from the small border town will be stationed in Chishui City. Before that, you have to control the situation. I don't want to see this group of neglected fighters turn into lawless thugs, burning and killing.
The looting thing."
"Yes, sir."
After giving Yin Guang a few more instructions, Ye Zhao took out the magnetic levitation motorcycle again and walked away, returning to the small border town. He had been out for two days. If he didn't go back, the third prince would be in a hurry. In addition, he also had to arrange for the three of them.
The prince is moving. The defense of the small border town is too low, so the third prince, his employer, needs to protect himself.
Looking at the distant figure, Viscount Yinguang stood up slowly. He didn't know whether his choice today was right or wrong, but at least he was alive now. The third prince didn't know how many new weapons he had.
, if a team of a thousand people can be formed, and with the help of the strong man who is suspected to be a fighting spirit, then it is not impossible for His Highness the Third Prince to ascend the throne.
If there really comes a day when the Yinguang family will become the first noble to support the third prince, it will be a matter for the descendants of Fuze. Thinking of this, Viscount Yinguang's steps slowly became firm, step by step.
Walk towards Chishui City.
The most important thing at the moment is of course to prevent riots in Chishui City. Viscount Yinguang thought as he walked, there are only a few dozen fighters that the family can control, and most of them are only fighters in the fighting spirit stage. When they set out to conquer a small border town, the Yinguang family
Fifteen fighters went out to fight, but now none of them have returned. It seems that if you want to control the entire Chishui City, you can only spend money to hire mercenaries. However, your father is having a hard time. How can you convince your old father?
Arriving in front of the group of defenders who came out of the city to greet the city lord, Viscount Yinguang raised his head and said, "You have seen what happened just now. Now that the city lord is dead, what are your plans in the future?"
The dozens of defenders were all silent. They were different from the mercenaries. They were fighters directly affiliated with the major families. Now the four major families in Chishui City exist in name only. They either join other nobles or become mercenaries.
, where to go, they themselves couldn't decide for a while.
"I am the eldest son of the Yinguang family. As long as you are willing, from today on, you will belong to the Yinguang family's fighting group. I will pay you double your previous salary. What do you think?"
After thinking about it for a while, most of these dejected fighters knelt down on one knee and swore to join the Yinguang family's fighter group. There were also some who were disheartened and decided to either leave Chishui City or stay in Chishui City.
, hanging around in various taverns, working as a professional mercenary.
Viscount Yinguang smiled. If he could recruit all these people, he could then take them to sweep away the properties of the four major families. In this way, not only would the strength of the Yinguang family be greatly increased, but there would also be silver coins to expand the fighting group.
Chapter completed!
