Chapter 502 Falling
In a blink of an eye, this hunchbacked monster that once rampaged in the army and ravaged like no one's land has become mutilated everywhere, and a large area of ​​ground is flooded with blood like a fountain; the dying pain wailed and continued. His body twitched, but he couldn't get up again.

The soldiers of the Liberation Army who saw this scene stopped scrambling to catch up; their morale was boosted on the spot and they cheered for joy.On the contrary is the Burgundian Army, which is launching a massive counteroffensive.After all, it was a hunchbacked monster more than ten meters high, like a small hill.

It was just above the noise and clamor of falling down in the distance, but it was not small at all.Therefore, the various armies with different affiliations and backgrounds also bear the brunt of various turmoil and chaos.In the right and left wing troops that followed, there were groups of people who turned around and fled.

In the middle of the attacking queue, although some teams bravely rushed forward and continued to charge forward; but there were also a few teams that slowed down while running, and stopped after a while, and then with the friendly troops who were catching up from behind, they were turned on their backs on the spot. Pushing and shoving into a ball.

Therefore, among the Comte Army on the battlefield, the only ones who can directly fight with the Free Army at the end are the gentry (rural) cavalry in the front, and the knights, followers and armed forces of the Knights of Dijon. attendant.About one-third of all members of the Legion.

However, when they rushed left and right and fought hard in the formation of the free army's spears/white soldiers, firecrackers/cannons, someone discovered that in the army's offensive sequence, other troops that should have followed up, There was no sign of them; only the banner of dust and smoke was left.

For a moment, the anger and panic of being betrayed and betrayed quickly enveloped these warriors who were trapped in the enemy's line.Subsequently, the armed attendants with limited equipment and relatively weak fighting will became the first link in the battlefield to collapse; they turned and fled while shouting and roaring under the shelling.

Then those cavalrymen who swept around the periphery were hanged on the barbed wire fences, parapets, and pickets with the blood of their horses and horses in repeated attempts to contain the harassment; Turn the horse around and flee away from the enemy.

Therefore, with a large number of defeated soldiers of the Burgundian Army, they fled into the city of Dijon.Most people could only stand on the city wall, watching hundreds of heavily armored knights of the Dijon Knights who were surrounded by the enemy and were still fighting. They were tripped, overturned, knocked off their horses, and disappeared among the enemy.

However, the Liberation Army, which has just experienced a series of fierce battles, has no spare power to continue its attack for the time being.Therefore, in the city of Dijon that night, the streets were full of soldiers with open flames and sticks, patrolling; they were busy investigating and arresting everyone who dared to violate the curfew order.

And one of the royal palaces in Dijon, the Philop Palace is also brightly lit.Prince Kong Tai, the generalissimo of the royal family/supervisor of the provinces, was also dressed in military uniform overnight to meet with representatives of many noble families in the city, and redeployed the city's defenses at the meeting.

But unexpectedly, this "defender" and "Prince Iron Hand" who had shown no mercy to political enemies and rebels did not pursue too much. Those generals and officers who fled from the city; It affirmed their decision to preserve their vitality for the sake of the dynasty.

In front of many aristocratic families of all sizes in the city, he is also full of confidence and unshakable; he is determined to rely on the strong defense of this ancient city to completely crush the plots of those southern rebels to spy on and covet the north. under a glorious city.

However, he took advantage of the situation and made more demands.For example, the donation and solicitation of a large amount of food, materials and equipment, as well as more family members and vassals, retinues, and guards to join the garrison on the city wall, acting as a supervising team to prevent ordinary soldiers from mutinying in a sense.

But then, when facing the audience of the citizens and chamber of commerce representatives in the city; he was not so polite.Almost in a few words, he seized the opportunity to make use of the topic, and ordered his preventive arrest, search and house ransack in a rage on the spot.

Immediately afterwards, he ordered to send enough soldiers and spies to spy on the poor and beggars in the city, as well as the lower-level neighborhoods where craftsmen and apprentices gathered.Because according to the information he had secretly learned, the southern rebels like to recruit internal recruits in mines, factories, and workshop areas.

Therefore, he has already explained to the trusted officer who led the team; secretly prepared enough kerosene and charcoal, and made corresponding isolation zones.In this way, once the untouchables in the inferior blocks dare to make any changes, they can set fire to the upper winds to completely destroy and destroy their plots.

After finishing all the arrangements, Prince Kong Tai ordered all the attendants and cronies present to retreat.He came alone to the inner room of the audience hall of the palace, in front of a beautiful relief wall, pressed the switch to open a hidden wine cabinet, and took out a bottle of wine with a special formula.

After drinking a full cup for myself, my whole body slowly relaxed.Temporarily freed from the original role of majestic and decisive generalissimo; instead of suppressing his emotions, he grabbed the weapon hanging on the wall, roared and smashed fiercely as a way of venting.

After all, in this daytime battle, he not only lost his heir; he also lost the three legions of Champagne, Ardennes and Comté; a total of nearly [-] soldiers.What's worse, even if he used the taboo secret hole card, he still failed in the end.

With the full cooperation of those alien species in the dark, he managed to find such a giant mountain monster that only existed in folklore.And to wake it up and induce it, the price it paid before and after was even more astonishing; but in the end it was defeated by the southern rebels.

Although he didn't understand what happened, he also knew the corresponding stakes.Because this means that among the southern rebels, there is a powerful and extraordinary force that is strong enough to fight against this giant monster, and even suppress its captives.This kind of power is more likely to shake the fighting spirit of the soldiers of the dynasty.

The even worse news was that too many people had seen the giant monsters wreaking havoc on the battlefield.Even though he forbade the discussion of similar topics in the army and sent a law enforcement team to punish them severely; but the rumors about the Burgundian dynasty and the aliens still spread quickly in the city.

Even some officers and generals of noble origin had doubts and worries because of this.And Prince Kong Tai can't even punish and hold them accountable directly.Because after losing the knights as the core and foundation of the legion, Prince Kongtai will continue to rely on them to hold on to the city.

Otherwise, once they bring soldiers with family background, they try to escape from the city or cause chaos in the city, which is not acceptable to the current Prince Kongtai.After venting in the wanton destruction, Prince Kong Tai also calmed down under the effect of drinks.

At least, he still has this big fortified city, with 10,000+ city residents and tens of thousands of soldiers, as a long-term basis for sticking to it.As a member of the mercenary army in his early years, the experience of leading his companions on the edge of life and death on the battlefield also made him weigh the gains and losses more rationally.

Send people out of the city after dawn, trying to exchange for his heir at a certain price; then use the influence of the church to carry out public opinion propaganda in the city; say that the mountain demon was betrayed by the southern party in a cruel and blasphemous way He woke up, but suffered backlash.

At the same time, with a light knock on the door; a slender figure quietly walked into the lounge, which was full of mess and the walls collapsed.Then, a pair of snow-white arms embraced from behind, sitting on the upper sofa like a rock, the shoulders and neck of Prince Kongtai who was meditating.

"How dare you come here?" It also made him wake up suddenly, and then he held the arms back; the hard contours and straight wrinkles on his face suddenly softened. "You should have heard about the incident during the day. At this time, it is even more necessary to avoid suspicion."

"It's because of those rumors that I want to appear by your side even more!" The owner of the snow-white arm said in a lazy and magnetic voice: "Even if I didn't become a public, in Fran Even the mistress of the palace, but at least she is also an important member of your courtiers."

The person who spoke was a beautiful woman in a mature age, dressed in long skirts and high temples; she was also a member of the inner court of Prince Conte, and Mrs. Charlotte, who served as an eyeliner and spy leader on a daily basis.But she is also a member of the Burgundy family, and can be regarded as the grandniece of Prince Comte;

Therefore, even though she has a husband and family on the surface, she still maintains an extraordinary taboo relationship with Prince Kong Tai in various ways in private.Under normal circumstances, only after she came forward can Prince Kong Tai's anger and intense emotions be calmed down.

However, Prince Conte knows another secret identity of Mrs. Charlotte, that is, she has lived under multiple names in the family for an unknown number of years; she is also the key person who introduced him and met him on the other side of the underground world. .He also particularly enjoyed this double taboo.

Therefore, under Mrs. Charlotte's gentle words of relief and consideration, along with this messy inner lounge, quietly closed the soundproof door; and reincarnated into another form of confrontational battlefield ...until the heavy mahogany door was knocked vigorously again.

And Prince Kong Tai, who was disturbed, also opened the door with an open chest and a half shirt, and asked angrily: "Damn it, didn't I say, don't let people disturb you?".However, the words of the chief guard with a worried face made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar on the spot.

"My lord, for some reason, the gate to the west of the city suddenly disappeared in the middle of the night, and those southern rebels have already rushed into the city..."
