Chapter 579 Stability 30, the city is about to be broken
Today Alan saw the sailor from the dark alley again.
He was not seen during a normal holiday, but because there was unrest in the military camp and he took advantage of the chaos to escape.
The sailor in the dark alley said he could arrange a smuggling trip.
The time is still midnight.
Alan knew this was his last chance.
It should be much safer to sneak out than to be captured after the city is captured.
After all, although he saw the news that his friend was alive, he could be killed at any time during the chaotic time when the city was broken. At this time, if the enemy army that broke into the city wanted to kill people, they could kill them whenever they wanted.
Alan packed up his personal belongings.
He first went to see the family of his best friend, who was arrested because he was found to have assisted nobles in smuggling.
Now it has become a corpse on the gallows.
Alan saw his best friend's child.
My friend’s wife is dead, hanged at home.
The child's eyes were swollen from crying and he was now sleeping in bed.
Alan fed the child some food and water.
Then he told the child to wait for him in the house.
There was still some time before it got completely dark, so Alan went to visit a number of acquaintances he knew and could trust.
Many acquaintances said they had ways to escape or hide.
Some of them had been robbed or even had their relatives killed by soldiers and thugs in the city.
Some of them were originally sergeants and soldiers like Allen.
Most of these reasons for staying at home are injuries.
Some were already dead, and some were seriously injured and dying.
The glory of the past seems to have long been out of sight and out of touch.
The city's upper echelons are still forming search teams to hunt down escaped citizens and soldiers.
The superiors are still shouting for glory and justice.
But they don't care about the families of the soldiers who have died in the war.
Nor do they care about the injured.
Perhaps to the upper class, these soldiers and knights are consumables.
Allen never thought about these issues before, because for him, who was still relatively young, there seemed to be many opportunities to be promoted to knight.
He is also loyal to the Kingdom of Bolen.
But now it seems that there are only a handful of nobles who are truly willing to save the country.
As for the royal family, Alan could only see the old king standing on the city wall, already scarred and a little tired.
Those nobles and the new king would only stay in the palace shouting for glory and let their subordinates fight desperately with the lunatics of the Frost Moon Kingdom.
The city is already in chaos, but the upper echelons still control the port.
But their strength was no longer enough to maintain order in the city.
Although Alan no longer attaches much importance to the so-called glory, if he can keep it, then the merits and wealth will definitely be real.
It was now obvious that the city could no longer be defended.
Alan had to admit that the drama on the giant screen of the Frost Moon Kingdom across the street had indeed had a profound impact on him, and also on the people around him that he could see.
The war had already caused him great pain and he was already covered with scars.
And give up now.
It seems that it will make the future life good?
Alan brought his friend's child to the sailor in the dark alley.
Allen decided to leave the opportunity of smuggling to his good friend's child.
After all, in the chaos of the city's destruction, the probability of a child dying is very high.
night.
"Uncle, where are you going?" Alan's friend's child asked him in confusion.
Alan also knew that handing the child over to the stowaway sailors was an extremely irresponsible and risky act.
If Alan didn't feel that these sailors were reliable, he would even think it would be more dangerous to hand the child over to them.
Now that Alan is in danger, he has no choice.
Alan looked towards the port. Several unfamiliar large ships had docked today. Judging from the emblem, it seemed to be the Kingdom of Lensa. He didn't know whether it was carrying supplies or something else.
Several spies also frowned. How could someone really hand a child over to people like them?
Children are the most difficult to deal with. They are prone to making noise and are uncontrollable, which significantly increases the risk during the smuggling process.
Damn it.
"Prepare some food for him and find a safe place to hide him."
The spies knew the child's experience and they were familiar with the situation in the neighborhood.
But the spies absolutely could not take any risks, so they simply decided to go back on their word and not allow the child to participate in the smuggling.
Compared to a child's life, Rand's mission is much more important. These people were trained by Rand and would do anything to complete the mission.
For a spy, the mission is the most important thing, and other morals and bottom lines must be put aside.
Alan waited until the sailors took the child away, then returned to his home, put on his armor again, and headed for the city wall.
Now many of his comrades have taken advantage of the chaos to escape.
Alan had heard many of his comrades decide to surrender or look for opportunities to escape.
Even when Allen was heading towards the city wall, he met several colleagues who were fleeing towards the port.
But Alan ignored them.
Alan still planned to go to the city wall. He planned to make a final attempt to defend the city.
Indeed, it was no longer possible to defend this city. The upper echelons of this city treated the soldiers and knights as consumables. Alan even discovered that some of the upper echelons of the Kingdom of Bolen had escaped by boat.
But no matter what, Alan still didn't want to run away.
If he was really captured, he would surrender, but he didn't plan to escape or resist. Then, what was the difference between him and those disgusting nobles of the Kingdom of Bolen? Allen didn't really want the glory he had insisted on before to turn into shame.
Alan plans to fight to the end, but he doesn't have to fight to death. Alan actually wants to experience life in a holiday villa.
But before that, let's fight.
Alan's return to the barracks was not too troublesome. The barracks were short of manpower at the time, and after asking a few questions, the officer assumed that Alan had just gotten lost in the chaos and was back.
Alan checked his weapons and armor once again, and then, as the standard-bearer, raised the wave sail flag representing the Kingdom of Bolen.
It was already dawn, and Alan, holding the wave sail flag, stood beside the old king in fish scale armor.
The flags fluttered in the autumn wind.
…
The new king did not appear in the meeting room of the palace today. He also saw the photo performance that Rand prepared in the wild for the residents and soldiers in the city of Bollen.
The new king could certainly see what that screen was trying to say.
The meaningless resistance could have ended long ago, and surrender would not result in abuse, and might even open up a new life.
And the new life might even be better than their current life.
Obviously, people's yearning for a better life is strong and indelible.
The new king was furious and smashed almost everything that could be smashed in his room.
Until his door was knocked by the servant.
"Didn't you tell me not to bother me?" the new king roared.
"Reinforcements from the Kingdom of Lensa have arrived." The attendant whispered. He was obviously afraid of the new king's wrath, but this news might save the country, so he chose to bear the king's wrath to report it.
"Oh?" The new king's angry voice suddenly calmed down a little, "You arrived just now, but maybe it can be useful."
The time from when the news was sent back to when the strong men from the Kingdom of Lensa arrived was incredibly fast.
It’s just a pity that the situation in King Boren’s City is changing even faster.
"Where are all those people?" asked the new king.
"Still at the port," the attendant replied.
"Let them go directly to the city wall. The offensive of the Frost Moon Kingdom is very fierce now." The new king actually didn't know the specific situation of the offensive of the Frost Moon Kingdom.
The city wall was too dangerous and it was not a place a noble man like him should risk checking.
The new king actually didn't believe that the situation would change.
This is true even if the elite professionals sent by the Kingdom of Lensa are very strong.
The atmosphere in the city was already tense because the soldiers on the city walls had suffered heavy losses under the continuous attacks.
In this situation, the soldiers' spirits were very tense, and because their side was at a great disadvantage, the atmosphere was also depressing.
Coupled with the screen drama projected by Rand, the reason for fighting was directly destroyed.
The new king was furious, but helpless.
If he really couldn't defend the royal city, he would be captured by the people of the Frost Moon Kingdom...
The new king trembled a little.
He called over a servant.
He said, "Our war with the Frost Moon Kingdom will inevitably be long and tortuous. We should not be obsessed with the gains and losses of a particular time and place, but should persist in a long-term battle."
The servants could not understand from these words what the new king meant.
"The evil invasion of the Frost Moon Kingdom has been condemned by the international community of our Southern Kingdom. Many countries have expressed their support for us and agreed to contain the Frost Moon Kingdom. Soon the evil invasion of the Frost Moon Kingdom will be stopped."
The servant somewhat understood what this sentence meant? It probably means that the Frost Moon Kingdom is doomed to fail and the Borun Kingdom is doomed to win.
But what good was it to tell these words to a servant? Is it because there is a shortage of troops now and he, the king's servant, is required to go up to the city wall to guard the royal city?
The servant's brother had died in battle on the city wall.
But if the servant himself is required to guard the city wall.
It is also the duty of the attendants.
The attendants are also people of noble status. As a member of the nobility of the Kingdom of Bollen, it is naturally their duty to guard the glory of the Kingdom of Bollen.
Just listen to the new king continue.
"In order to always maintain the orthodox legal basis of the Kingdom of Borun, in order to ensure that the Kingdom of Borun can continue to fight, and to recover the land after victory..., we should start making some preparations early."
The servant didn't understand what the king wanted to say.
Seeing that the servant didn't understand what he was saying, the king frowned.
The people around him are so stupid.
It is because of these idiots that the Kingdom of Bolen has fallen into such a state.
So stupid!
But he had no choice but to employ these idiots.
The new king felt sorry for himself, but now he had to start explaining: "Go to the harbor and prepare some ships. I want to be ready to command the army on the sea."
Now the servant understood what the new king meant.
He looked in shock at the new king, who was already somewhat unkempt and had a pale face.
He couldn't help but say out loud what was in his mind in shock: "You want to escape?"
The new king was furious.
"What are you talking about!" the new king roared.
The new king stretched out his hands and grabbed the servant by the neck.
The power that comes from his bloodline allows him to possess the strength of an elite professional even without much training.
The servant had not expected that the king would attack him personally, and he was no match for the new king who was blessed with the royal bloodline of Bolen.
The attendant's face turned purple.
His eyes bulged out and stared at the new king's distorted face.
Soon, with the sound of bones breaking, the servant's neck was broken by the new king.
The new king let go.
The body of the attendant, with blood oozing from his mouth and nose, fell onto the gorgeous red carpet.
The new king gasped.
It doesn't take much physical strength to crush to death an ordinary person who is not even an elite professional.
But the new king still felt exhausted, which made him sweat profusely.
The new king quickly calmed himself down and called his guards to dispose of the body of the servant who attempted to "assassinate" the king.
Afterwards, the new king planned to find someone to start the ocean-going command plan again.
The Kingdom of Borun has always had a fleet advantage, which is a strong guarantee that the legitimacy of the Kingdom of Borun will not be extinguished.
As for staying in the city.
The new king thought that it would be enough to let the soldiers, knights and professionals of the Kingdom of Lensa stay here to mess with the people of the Kingdom of Frost Moon.
Now other countries have agreed to provide assistance and support to the Kingdom of Bolun, and will encircle and suppress the Frost Moon Kingdom.
The new king believed that when more and more countries realized the evil of the Frost Moon Kingdom, they would gather their forces to encircle and suppress the Frost Moon Kingdom.
At that time, he, the great hero who protected the orthodoxy of the Kingdom of Bollen, would be able to have achievements far exceeding those of his father and his brother Alex.
The true hero who saved the Kingdom of Bolun.
The new king was quite satisfied with this title.
The new king found several great nobles who also had the intention of ruling overseas, and these nobles could understand his meaning very well. As expected, the stupidity of nobles with noble blood was less than that of those with inferior blood.
These nobles did not want to stay in the city in the first place, as it was obvious that the royal city was difficult to defend.
Then there is no need for these people of noble blood to continue staying in the city and sharing life and death with those lowly people.
If caught by the people of the Frost Moon Kingdom, then the noble bloodline might be disgraced.
Fortunately, the new king is not a pedantic person and is much better than the old king who is still on the city wall.
This was a relief to the nobles who wanted to rule overseas.
As for those nobles who stubbornly wanted to defend the royal city, that was perfect. Let them fight against the people of the Frost Moon Kingdom. This would give those of them who focused on the overall situation a chance to delay their escape.
Those who were supposed to stay behind to delay and fight are now doing just that.
"Let's do it." said the new king of the Kingdom of Bolen and the nobles who shared the same idea as him.
The new king sneered. The royal family of the Kingdom of Bolen still had a trump card. When Rand entered the city, he would have a chance to suffer a heavy loss.
…
At this time, Rand had already left the barracks and arrived at the front battlefield.
The Minister of War, the Thirteenth Marquis of Black and Brown, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Marquis of the Stag, had been mobilizing people in the rear. Now that the work in the rear was almost done, they came to the front to help.
This also gave Rand and Marcus some free time to come to the front line and preside over the final battle to break the city.
The stability should have dropped to 30, Rand judged that the time was right.
