Chapter six hundred and sixtieth: Descending
This sudden roar caused the warriors from both sides who were desperately entangled to stop their fighting movements.
The fourth prince, who was standing among the crowd, held his head in his hand and spoke in a low voice with dull eyes.
"That's enough, don't fight anymore, we surrender, we surrender."
The fourth prince's words made the knights around look at each other in disbelief.
Seeing that they were still unwilling to put down their weapons, the fourth prince raised his arms tremblingly, revealing his head.
"The old king is dead! The other princes have also gone with him! I am now the only heir to the royal family! I am the new king! As the king, I now order you to surrender! Don't fight anymore! Don't fight anymore.
!”
Following the movements of the fourth prince, the knights looked at the crown on the head of the fourth prince and at the familiar face on the head in his hand, and they all froze in place.
Amidst the clanging sounds, the sound of weapons falling to the ground came one after another. One after another, the knights put down their weapons and knelt down in the direction of the fourth prince.
In the crowd at the side, the Plague Knight, who was already riding on the eldest prince, completely ignoring the weapon that penetrated his chest, and was squeezing the eldest prince's neck with both hands, also let go of his hands in a daze.
Ignoring the enemy who had an arm chopped off and was covered in scars, the Plague Knight stood up and staggered towards the fourth prince.
After getting completely close, looking at the familiar face of the fourth prince's head, his knees softened and he suddenly knelt on the ground.
"His Majesty…………"
The fourth prince could not kill the old king, because how could a rookie with less than fourth level fighting ability defeat an eighth level strong man.
But now the old king is still dead, in the hands of his own son. The Plague Knight, who has already learned from this old friend what he is going to do if he is defeated, still doesn't understand that this is the old king fulfilling his last duty.
promise.
Carrying the name of the defeated, he used his own life to calm the enemy's anger, and at the same time, he destroyed the fighting spirit of other knights as quickly as possible, preserving the fire as much as possible.
Looking at the Plague Knight kneeling in front of him, the fourth prince put down his head, faced him and the other kneeling knights, and slowly knelt down.
"Don't fight anymore. Enough people have died. Please don't fight anymore."
On the city wall, the knights fell into silence, and the elite soldiers who came to take charge of the siege also lowered their weapons.
The entire arm was cut off along with the armor, the armor was also torn into pieces, and the helmet was missing. The eldest prince ignored the silent battlefield around him, but looked up at the dim sky and slowly closed his eyes.
"Finally...won..."
News of the imperial city's surrender immediately spread to all cities.
This caused the defenders of the Twelve Knight Cities and the knight troops that were dealing with the enemy to fall into chaos.
First there was disbelief, then anger, and then he looked at the scarred companions around him and fell into complete silence.
One city after another finally chose to open its gates and no longer offer any resistance.
The elite troops who rushed into the city neither chose to occupy important buildings, nor did they choose to gather these knights together and guard them.
They maintained a neat phalanx, standing motionless on the street, silently looking at the lost knights around them.
There is no cheer of victory, no joy of victory.
The two sides looked at each other so shamelessly that it was difficult to tell which side was the winner and which side was the loser.
Outside the City of Lazy, on the land that had turned into a piece of scorched earth, a scarred old man sat with his back against a stone, looking up at the sky in a daze.
Around him, hundreds of giant figures could be seen gradually dissipating.
The city gate at the rear opened, and the defenders who had never been qualified to participate in this unprecedented battle came out in despair.
They also received information about the surrender of the imperial city, not only them, but also the lazy knight leaning on the stone.
The lazy knight, who single-handedly dragged hundreds of black sheep gods who relied on the power of faith to remain immortal for more than an hour, couldn't help but have a wry smile on his face as he looked at the people walking by.
"You can actually transfer the power of faith to each other, and be promoted to lord combat power in front of me. You are indeed a monster who dares to claim to be a god. But in the end, I am more skilled. Let me just say, that old war knight
Whatever the guy can do, I can do the same."
Looking at the black sheep clan masters all around who had been completely consumed by the power of faith and could no longer maintain their bodies, the smile on the face of the victorious lazy knight became increasingly bitter.
So what if they win? These monsters will not die if their faith is not destroyed. Now that they have won, it is just a victory this time.
Give them a few years to cultivate their moral character and a period of time to store up their faith, and they will still be a group of vigorous siege monsters.
As for myself, I have tried my best in this battle and exhausted all my previous energy reserves. Will I still be qualified to hold them back next time?
"It's good to surrender. We should have surrendered a long time ago. This war that is impossible to win should have ended a long time ago."
Putting his hands back into his sleeves, the lazy knight leaned sideways against the stone and slowly closed his eyes.
"I'm tired, don't disturb me, let me sleep for a while, just for a while..."
Hearing this, the defenders who stood around and witnessed the Lazy Knight fighting these hundreds of monsters for more than two hours were so scared that they almost lost their minds.
The leading officer hurriedly knelt down, grabbed the lazy knight's shoulders with both hands and shook him vigorously.
"Old senior! Lord Lazy Knight! You can't sleep! Wake up! You can't leave! The empire needs you now! You can't die, Lord Lazy Knight!"
"What the hell are you shaking your grandma! I just squinted for a while! Why are you shaking me? You go fight with them for two hours! Try to see if you are tired!"
