Chapter 308 Chapter 308
"My lord! This kind of person lives, we all have to die here!" The adjutant threw away his saber, stared at his chief, and explained.

Behind him, several officers and nearby soldiers were also stunned, waiting for their immediate superiors to say something.

"Alas..." The commander of the fort also knew that in such a time of turmoil, it would be easy for them to be loyal ministers and good generals and determined to die for the country. .

Before he ordered the cannons to be fired, the purpose was to make it easy for them to go up and down the fort when it was time to settle accounts after the autumn.

After all, we fired the cannon, but it was because we hadn’t done it before, and it wasn’t because we didn’t dare to do it. There is still a difference.

But now, things seem to have changed - they killed the king's confidants. Once this kind of thing is characterized, it will be a rebellion and rebellion, and there is no good fruit to eat.

After he sighed, he had already thought of a countermeasure, and said, "We haven't seen this person before! Do you understand?"

Anyway, the road outside is full of soldiers and horses. It is not surprising that an officer who came to deliver a message had an accident.

"As long as we bite this statement to death! We can survive!" He looked at the soldiers who were still hesitant, thinking whether to kill them at a critical moment.

However, these people soon nodded—they didn't want to be bombarded by such a terrifying fleet, and they had already experienced a fiasco before.

The opponent's artillery is not only accurate, but also "terrifying" in its power. Often, a single shell can blast an entire section of the fort wall.

"Understood!" Several officers obviously turned their heads a little faster, and quickly nodded in agreement.

"Understood!" The soldiers reacted a little slower, but they still nodded in agreement.

The commander of the fort, who was full of thoughts on how to dispose of the corpse so as not to be discovered, heard his adjutant say before he could continue to arrange orders, "My lord, if the king sends someone over after a while, what should we do? "

His words stunned everyone, and the slight joy that just arose in not needing to continue firing was swept away in an instant.

Yes, the king sent a man, and everyone said that they didn't see it, and it didn't matter, there would always be accidents.

But if the king sent a second person, or that the second person brought his entourage, how would he explain it on his side?

For a moment, everyone was a little at a loss and worried that the second king's messenger was coming.

"What can you do?" The fort commander looked at his adjutant and asked.Anyway, he was the adjutant who killed the person, so he should come up with a solution when encountering a problem, right?

The adjutant pondered for a few seconds, then looked at his commander, and suggested fiercely, "Why don't we blow up the fort!"

This is simply a ploy to draw fire from the bottom of the pot. As long as the fort is completely gone, they won't have to be forced to fire!

However, thinking that he had served here for more than ten years, the commander of the fort took a breath of relief.

But he quickly realized - it seemed that this choice could really cover up everything.

As long as they blow up the fort by themselves, they don't have to hide that they met the king's messenger—as long as they blow up the corpse and the gunpowder, it's really dead without evidence, and it's over.

In this way, they are tantamount to saying that they have faithfully carried out His Majesty's order, which is completely in line with his previous vision when he ordered the fort to fire - both to preserve their reputation and not to take any risks.

So, he nodded, and actually agreed to the adjutant's suggestion in principle: "Okay! Just do as you said!"

On the sea in the distance, there is still the sound of gunfire, more and more columns of flames and smoke are rising in the city, and the civilians running for their lives are crowded together in the streets, and there is no order at all.

Soon, they threw the corpse of the king's confidant who sent the letter into the dark room where the black powder was stored. After the fierce battle just now, the fort was full of corpses, and no one would feel that a few people carrying the corpse passed by their place. There is something strange about the place.

Then, they filled half of the cannons with gunpowder, and then ignited them indiscriminately and blew up the cannons.

With the sound of cannons, everyone thought that the fort was firing again, and some soldiers and officers of the Tarun Kingdom standing on the city wall burst into cheers.

They thought that their reinforcements were coming, and the fort could fire back amidst the flames and black smoke, which boosted their morale.

It's a pity that before their cheers could be fully released, there was an earth-shaking explosion from the fort.

All of a sudden, the ground under his feet shook violently, and the huge stone bars several meters long used in the construction of the fort were lifted into the air, and countless silt rushed directly to a height of several hundred meters.

Then, gravel and dirt fell from the sky, and some even floated to the top of the city guarded by the soldiers guarding the city.

The soldiers of the Kingdom of Tarun, who were cheering a second ago while holding their arms high, were completely stunned by the scene before they could put their arms down.

From their perspective, most of the fort was blown into the air by the explosion, and a heavy cannon was as small as a wooden stick among the debris flying around.

In the darkroom where the propellants of dozens of cannons were stored, ten tons of explosives set off a grand fireworks display. The defenders of the fort who hadn't run far completely underestimated the power of the explosion they ignited.

However, from anyone's point of view, it was the fort that fired back. As a result, the opponent's warship also fired at each other.

Bernard was dumbfounded. He looked at the horrific shore fort that exploded and caught fire in the distance, and then looked at his adjutant: "Which battleship is still bombarding the direction of the fort?"

"I don't know. A few minutes ago, the enemy's fort opened fire again, and there was only the sound of a few artillery pieces. The threat to us was not great, so no battleship was arranged to suppress it..." The adjutant also looked confused.

"Then they blew it up by themselves?" Bernard looked disbelieving, but he didn't realize that he had already inadvertently revealed the truth.

"Maybe it was an operation error... In a panic, I ignited my ammunition depot." The adjutant also helped the other party explain.

Bernard nodded, not wasting any more time on this topic.Whether the fort was there or it was blown up, in fact, it would not delay his killing of Talun King City.

King Tarun was in his palace, on the tallest building, using a telescope to watch the firing fort in the distance.

After seeing bursts of muzzle fire flickering and hearing the familiar sound of cannons, His Majesty the King put down the telescope in his hand with satisfaction.

He looked at his prime minister, pointed in the direction of the fort in the distance, and boasted to his prime minister with a smile: "Did you see it! Did you see it! Among my generals, there are still loyal people! There are still some Those who can fight tough battles!"

In fact, everyone knows well that the one who can really fight is the admiral Varun, whose life and death are unknown...

As for the general guarding the fort, who knows why he can act so brave and loyal...

While several important ministers were muttering to themselves, the fort, which had been firing sparsely just now, suddenly burst into flames, and a section of the city wall was thrown into the air.

Everyone's eyes widened, and then they swayed to and fro with the vibration.One of Tarun's prime ministers couldn't stand still, and the whole person fell to the ground. He even saw the water in the water glass trembling on the small table in front of him.

What followed was the shock wave that hit the face, but it spread to the palace, and the wind was not so exaggerated.

The sound of the explosion rushed into everyone's ears almost at the same time, and the violent loud noise instantly covered up all other sounds.

Even the rumbling gunfire from the sea, which had always been extremely depressing, was eclipsed at this moment.

Regardless of his own image, Tarun X had just gained a firm foothold, and couldn't wait to look in the direction of his fort.

Then, he saw the thick smoke soaring into the sky, and the ruins of the fort that were no longer in shape.At this moment, he felt that his heart was bleeding.

A second ago, he was still praising the general guarding the fort, and a second ago, he was still boasting that he finally had a reliance.

As a result, in this second, his capable minister seemed to be blown into the sky, and his hope seemed to be destroyed in the loud noise just now.

"What's going on, what's going on..." He muttered, staggering towards the window, the prime minister just got up from the ground, looked at the somewhat crazy Tarun X, and quickly grabbed Tarun X's sleeve with his hands and eyes.

If it weren't for his extraordinary performance, Tarun X would have become the king of subjugation who jumped off the building by himself.

"Quick! Go! Go look at the fort! See what's going on!" Tarun X, who was pulled back and suddenly came back to his senses, ordered hysterically.

The prime minister has not let go of the king's hand until now, and he is actually a little dazed, because he subconsciously thinks that the Kingdom of Tarun... seems to be completely cold like that fortress!

He hadn't thought before that the enemy's navy would really be so powerful—he even always felt that even if the enemy's blockade would last long enough, they would have enough time to deal with it.

But he never expected that the other party's blockade would be so... unreasonable.

"Your Majesty! Send someone to sue for peace! It's too late, but it's really over!" The prime minister who finally regained his senses cried out immediately, feeling inexplicably sad.
