Chapter 474: Journey with Peace of Mind
Apart from several golden knights and magicians of the church, Chat did not have any real high-end combat power among his men. He only had some silver knights as his own confidants and guards.
At this time, Chat was running away with a dozen of his trusted men. As for other ordinary soldiers, he no longer cared about them. He was really scared at this moment.
Chat couldn't understand how a bronze knight could become so powerful that he could kill a golden knight as easily as killing livestock in just one or two minutes.
He even wondered if this was really related to the God of Glory.
So now he was thinking about returning to the City of Glory, and then hiding in the city waiting for the arrival of the church.
In his opinion, the only force that could fight against Gervis now was the main force of the church.
"Open the city gate! Open the city gate!"
Chat had already made instructions, and when he ran back, he asked the defenders in the city to prepare to open the gate.
So when he rode his warhorse for a mile and arrived at the city gate, the gate had already been opened a crack by the guards, and in more than ten seconds, it would be enough for one person to enter and exit.
However, Chat felt that this speed was very slow at the moment, and he kept shouting loudly to the soldier who was responsible for opening the door.
After shouting, Chat looked nervously behind him, and saw that the thousands of ordinary soldiers he had led out of the city and the surrendered vassal nobles were also running towards the City of Glory in panic. At this time, they were less than 500 meters away from the city gate.
Chat was afraid that Gervis or masters from the other two duchies might be hiding in there, so he didn't plan to let these people enter the city together, otherwise the city gate would not be able to be closed.
When the people inside heard Chat's urging, they immediately used all their strength to speed up the opening of the city gate.
When the heavy gate of the City of Glory was opened to more than one meter wide, Chat could no longer wait and was the first to enter the hole in the wall, while more than a dozen guards followed him in.
In the end, the gate of the City of Glory, which was more than ten meters wide, was only opened to a width of more than two meters.
"Quick, close the city gate!"
When they entered the city gate, several of his guards came in, and Chat immediately ordered the soldiers to close the city gate.
"Your Highness...outside the city..."
The guards were a little confused. The more than a thousand soldiers that Chat brought out were all their comrades-in-arms. If they closed the city gate at this time, they would be abandoned, so they were a little hesitant.
clang!
"Just turn it off when I tell you to. If you keep nagging me, you can go out and accompany them!"
Chat didn't want to delay any longer, he immediately drew out his sword and roared angrily.
Chat was able to control the City of Glory with the help of the church's golden knights and magicians.
The time they had been in control was still short, and they had to use them to deal with their own king Lawrence.
Therefore, the guards' loyalty to Chat is not high at present. They just obey orders because of threats, which is why they hesitate to follow Chat's orders.
After hearing Chat's threat, the captain of the guard dared not say any more and immediately ordered his teammates to slowly close the city gate.
At this moment, Chat saw through the more than two-meter-wide gap in the door a figure suddenly shot out from the crowd in the distance. It was Gervis who made him tremble with fear.
"Hurry up! Hurry up! The rest of you go and help!"
Chat was so frightened that he immediately sent over a dozen of his guards.
The gate of the City of Glory weighs more than a thousand pounds. Even with more than ten people trying to close it, it only speeds it up a little bit.
“Almost there! Almost there!”
Seeing the city gate closing slowly, leaving only a gap less than the width of a fist, Chat's heart was in his throat.
Bang!
With a muffled sound from the gate of the city wall, the last gap was closed!
Only then did Chat feel a little relieved.
The city gate has been closed. As long as the sleepers standing on the side fall down, even the Golden Peak Knight will be helpless.
The inside and outside of this gate are covered with two centimeters thick mithril iron, and the wood in the middle is also made of the hardest black iron pine.
"Okay! It's safe!"
It only took one or two seconds for the sleepers to fall. Chat had already seen two soldiers raising their hands to open the mechanism that fixed the sleepers. He let out a breath and prepared to turn around and go to the city wall.
Bang!
But at this critical moment, a muffled sound suddenly came from outside the city gate, like a drum beating.
"quick……"
Bang!
Chat's eyes were bloodshot. If he was given another second, the railroad tie would fall, but at this moment, Gervis' second impact came.
With Gervis's full-strength attack this time, the originally closed gate was suddenly opened, and more than 20 soldiers at the back who were pushing the gate with their hands were all knocked out.
“It’s really solid!”
Gervis was originally worried that he would use too much force and break the city gate, and then he would not be able to defend against the people from the church.
But when he kicked the heavy city gate for the first time, he realized that he was worrying too much.
The city gate was so strong that even if two of us used our full strength we couldn't cause any damage to it.
So Gervis was no longer cautious. He concentrated all his fighting spirit into his arms, then punched the heavy city gate, hitting it directly in the center.
The city gate was blown open with a bang, and a shallow fist mark was left on the two-centimeter-thick mithril door panel.
You should know that iron mixed with mithril is equivalent to the top military armor in the previous life.
Gervis was certain that if he were asked to dismantle a car now, he could definitely turn it into scrap metal within ten seconds.
"I wonder how strong the Golden Peak Knight would become if he took the black kiwi fruit. Would he be able to knock down this section of the wall with one strike?"
Suddenly, a question flashed through Gervis' mind!
In fact, he originally planned to give the black kiwi fruit to the Lord of the North. After all, this is the safest way!
Unfortunately, just when Gervis had this idea, the system suddenly popped up a prompt: kiwi fruit cannot be eaten directly by anyone other than the host.
In the end, Gervis had no choice but to eat the black kiwi and give it a try!
…
"You...you...Viscount Gervis! As long as you are willing to be loyal to me, I will give you the title of earl and also confer upon you the earldom!"
Facing Gervis, who was like a god or devil descending from the earth, Chat retreated with a pale face, and at the same time began to offer Gervis generous conditions.
"Haha! Do you think I would care about the earldom title you conferred on me?"
Gervis sneered and walked forward slowly.
"I...I will give you the Principality of Jean, I will give it to you, as long as you let me go!"
Chat saw Gervis getting closer and closer. He didn't want to think about anything else now. He just wanted to survive, so that he could seek refuge with the church and find a way to take back the principality.
"I'm sorry! The Principality of Jean is not yours, you can't make the decision!"
Gervis remained indifferent, and the sword was held in his hand.
"Since you have embarked on the path of greed, you must pay the corresponding price! Your Highness Chat! Go on your journey with peace of mind!"
If it weren't for the kiwi fruit of the system, Gervis could imagine that he and Alice would have a very tragic end, so it was naturally impossible for him to let the second prince Chat go!
However, considering that it was because of him that he became Alice's husband, Gervis was ready to give him a quick death.
As Gervis finished his words, the sword in his hand flashed with a cold light, and the second Prince of Chat, who was so complacent just a few minutes ago, was separated from his head and body, and with fear in his eyes, he ended his greedy and short life.
"Get out of here now. If I see anyone at the city gate again, Chat will be your fate!"
Gervis was too lazy to pay attention to Chat's guards and the defenders of the City of Glory. After the armies of the two duchies entered the city, someone would naturally take care of them.
Following Gervis's roar, these soldiers and titled knights tumbled and crawled towards the city. No one even glanced at Chat who was lying in a pool of blood!
