[Chapter 311: Good Luck in Having a Daughter]
After hearing the report from the Guard Knights, Abelson realized that the incident in the capital was not that it had not happened yet, but that it was almost over.
In any case, he had never thought that his second son, who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun all day, would give him such a huge surprise.
He did not rush to confront his second son, nor did he directly take people to “rescue” his wife and eldest son.
Abelson calmly issued a series of orders, summoning several important officials who had stayed in the capital, as well as all the soldiers of the Guard Knights and the Dilan Knights who stayed in the capital.
Then Abelson walked into the meeting hall and sat on the throne on the steps to meditate quietly.
David was invited by His Majesty the King to stand directly next to the throne, but he did not think there was anything special about this position, it was just a little high.
Jaina, Laura, Sylvanas and others who came with David were all standing at the bottom of the steps, and the Winter Knights were divided into two rows, holding piccolo assault rifles in their hands, looking murderous.
Not long after, people who received the summons from His Majesty the King rushed to the meeting hall. The first to arrive was Alberto, the deputy commander of the Guards Knights.
Because Sean Cowell, the commander of the Guards Knights, had previously followed His Majesty the King to Baiyan City, the remaining Guards Knights were currently under the command of Alberto.
At the same time, Alberto was also the defense commander of the capital of Tilan. At this moment when His Majesty the King and countless high-ranking officials and nobles went to the south, Alberto was the highest military commander of the capital.
Therefore, when he learned that His Majesty the King had suddenly returned and summoned him, Alberto rushed over as soon as possible, and then he noticed these “strangers” in the meeting hall.
Especially the eleven knights in black heavy armor: “Who are you?”
Alberto glanced around the meeting hall and noticed that His Majesty the King was sitting on the throne, and the Earl of Glamorgan was standing next to the throne.
Several speculations immediately flashed through his mind, wondering if the Earl of Glamorgan had held His Majesty the King hostage?
While he was considering whether to call his men to rescue the king, he saw His Majesty the King gently waved his hand at him, indicating that he should stand aside first: “Deputy Captain Alberto, please wait for a moment.”
The hand that was about to touch the hilt of the sword stopped in place. From His Majesty’s words, he knew that he must have guessed wrong.
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
Since the Earl of Glamorgan did not hold the king hostage, what was the situation?
Generally speaking, there would be no soldiers in the meeting hall. Even if His Majesty wanted to discuss something particularly important with someone, he would only let the guards guard the door and not let anyone approach at will.
Now these black-armored knights were standing directly in the meeting hall. This was the first time Alberto had seen such a situation.
Just as Alberto was looking around, Sanford, the deputy commander of the Tilan Knights, also arrived. It
was similar to the situation when Alberto just walked into the meeting hall. Seeing a dozen black-armored knights in heavy armor, Sanford’s first reaction was to touch the weapons.
It was also King Abelson who spoke to appease the deputy leader of the Tilan Knights, and then Sanford saw Alberto who had been standing aside.
Walking over, Sanford winked at Alberto, and the only response he got was a slight shake of the head.
Similar to Alberto’s situation but a little different, most of the Tilan Knights went to the south, and a small number stayed in the capital.
Both deputy leaders stayed at home, but the specific details were a little different.
The Tilan Knights were the main force, so the leader Scott Kyles led the team.
The Guards Knights were a small number of troops who went with the army, mainly the king went to the battlefield in person, so the leader Sean Cowell followed the king.
As a result, both leaders stayed in Baiyan City and did not follow the king back.
Moreover, didn’t the king come back too quickly?
After waiting for a while, people came one after another, but Abelson’s face became worse and worse. Not only did the people he had recruited not arrive quickly, but more importantly, David whispered a situation in his ear.
“The meeting hall is surrounded.”
“Which troops are surrounding the meeting hall?”
David couldn’t answer this question. He couldn’t recognize all the troops of the Kingdom of Tilan. Fortunately, Floyd, a former teaching knight of the Tilan Knights, was beside him. He could accurately identify the various troops within the Kingdom of Tilan.
“I saw the Tilan Knights, the Guards Knights, the Heavy Infantry Regiment, the Light Infantry Regiment, the Noble Guards, the Royal City Garrison Force, and some of the nobles’ private guards.”
David and his team did not deliberately install cameras or release drones before coming in, because the Quinjet was parked at the castle gate. If they wanted to lead troops in to surround the meeting hall, they had to pass through the gate.
These Quinjet fighters are mass-produced Decepticons. Although their combat power is not top-notch and their IQ is average, they can still complete such a simple task very well.
As for how Floyd “saw” the picture? Just transmit the image information directly to the Blizzard Power Armor.
“The Kingdom Mage Corps is here too.”
With Freud’s last words, Abelson could no longer sit still and stood up directly: “The Kingdom Mage Corps… Shouldn’t they have gone to the east to defend the Sodurenma Empire a long time ago?”
“…” Freud looked at the furious King without saying anything. He didn’t know how to answer, so he could only look at his master.
David didn’t think of clearing up the confusion for His Majesty the King. He knew that Abelson would definitely understand why, and his interruption at this time was just pouring more oil on the burning anger.
Sure enough, Abelson didn’t need to ask anyone to think of the answer. His eyes swept over the people who came to the meeting hall one after another, and he saw all kinds of reactions from these people.
Doubt, confusion, disdain, joy, anger, all kinds of emotions seemed to represent the positions of these people.
Abelson found that he could easily distinguish who were loyal and who were traitors just by looking at their expressions. Did he feel that things had developed to this point and some people were no longer willing to hide?
His eyes stayed on Alberto and Sanford. Did the two vice-captains of the Knights seem to be loyal? This surprised Abelson a little.
When he learned that the capital had changed so much without anyone noticing, and that the Royal Guards Knights and the Tiran Knights had come to surround him, he thought that the two deputy commanders had already betrayed him.
“David.”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
“Kill all the traitors outside, leaving no one behind.”
“As you wish, Your Majesty.”
David nodded to Floyd on the side. There was no need to give any orders, Floyd knew what to do.
After receiving the order, Floyd immediately took out his two-handed heavy sword from the storage props. This was a melee weapon specially made for the Blizzard Power Armor. The
huge two-handed heavy sword was held straight in front of Floyd, and then a halo unfolded under his feet.
The next second, a blue-white halo flashed under the feet of the Winter Knights in the meeting hall, and then disappeared.
After using the pious halo to increase the defense of the Winter Knights around him, Floyd carried the heavy sword and led the ten Winter Knights out of the meeting hall.
The winter knights in blizzard power armor took heavy steps and made dull sounds. When the people in the meeting hall saw these black humanoid tin cans taking heavy steps and walking out of the meeting hall firmly, their reactions were different. There
were worries and ridicules, but no one thought that relying on these eleven heavily armored knights could change anything.
Alberto and Sanford stood and observed for a while, and they also understood what was happening at this time.
Moreover, when Floyd reported to His Majesty King Abelson before, although his voice was not loud, he did not deliberately lower it, and everyone in the hall heard it clearly.
The two deputy captains’ faces were as ugly as they could be at that time. At this time, they did not expect to achieve great achievements, but only hoped to prove their loyalty and innocence.
“Your Majesty, please allow your subordinates to fight side by side with these knights!”
The two deputy captains’ request for battle was directly rejected by Abelson, and he appeased the two deputy captains with the reason that “there are many more important tasks later that need you to do”, and then looked at David.
“The Winter Knights…”
“They have assembled. Do you want to call the Winter Knights to the capital?”
“Let the Winter Knights go… I’m afraid this is the only unit I can trust.”
Abelson was just speaking out of inspiration, but it embarrassed the two deputy commanders who had volunteered to fight earlier. They had no way to express their dissatisfaction. Their subordinates had rebelled, and as commanders, they had an unshirkable responsibility.
Not to mention that His Majesty the King just cursed them casually, even if he pointed at their noses and called them trash, they could only accept the evaluation of trash unconditionally.
At this time, explosions and gunshots continued to sound, mixed with short, dense screams. Everyone in the meeting room was startled by the sudden sound, and everyone once again showed a different reaction.
Abelson looked at those people with smug expressions and was too lazy to control his emotions. He started to mock them on the spot: “David, do you think these idiots will still laugh when they realize that it is actually their army that is being slaughtered outside?”
“They can still laugh…” Seeing the strange look in the king’s eyes, David added: “They have to pretend to be happy for the king’s victory, so that they can save their lives!”
“Hahahaha!”
Abelson laughed very happily after hearing what David said.
Although he was at an absolute disadvantage in all the strategies and calculations in this struggle, he was still the one who won in the end. Those bastards in the Temple would never have thought that all this was just because he had a daughter!
