Chapter 306
Barkeen led the army to siege the city. This battle was helpless. He knew there was no hope of winning, but he still had to fight. The army's fighting spirit had long disappeared, and he could only maintain his remaining cohesion through constant battles.
From noon to dusk, the battle ended without any suspense. Fortunately, Barkeen was restrained and there were no casualties on both sides.
Longgesen won again. Although he knew that the king might not give him a good face, he still went to the palace to report the results of the battle himself. Unexpectedly, he was rejected this time. The king did not want to see him, and the king did not want to see anyone.
This victory became worthless, and Longgesen could not get anyone's praise or even find anyone to talk to. He had thought about the Minister of State, but his cowardly appearance made Longgesen disgusted.
These days, he has been sleeping on the city wall. Long Gesen was a little tired. He believed that the Divine Punishment Army could not organize any battles within one or two days. He would go back to his mansion tonight to stay for one night.
He asked the butler to prepare a table of good dishes and a can of good wine. Even if he did not get the king's approval, he would still treat himself well.
After eating and drinking, Longgesen fell asleep in bed. In his dream, he found himself in the wilderness outside the city, with fire burning around him.
A voice came from the sky: "No matter how many achievements you accomplish, it doesn't make any sense. In the end, it will only make the king hate you even more!"
It was already dawn when he woke up, and Longgesen quickly asked someone to help him put on his armor.
He was a little worried that he should not indulge in this way. The war was not over yet, and he should always stick to the battlefield.
But when he walked to the door, he found that his mansion was surrounded. A young general appointed by the king stepped forward and said, "General Longgesen, please do not leave the mansion for the time being. This is the king's order!"
"Who are you talking to?" Longgesen said angrily, "Do you know that there is a war now?"
The young general said, "I will repeat it again, this is the king's order."
This young general was a second-order believer of Ares. Because of his heroic performance in the war against Hovet, he was appreciated by the king and became a general from the centurion.
If Longgesen wanted to resist, he could kill the young man in less than one breath, and the group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals under his command would not last long.
But Longgesen did not do this. He returned to the mansion and asked his old housekeeper to call Georgia over.
He handed over the command of the battle to Georgia and repeatedly reminded him: "If you find any abnormality, send someone to report it to me immediately, but you cannot leave the battlefield."
After seeing off Georgia, Longgesen asked the old housekeeper to go to the palace to find out the news. He searched for the whole morning without any gains.
In the afternoon, the old housekeeper went to find the Minister of Government, but the Minister of Government stayed behind closed doors.
At noon the next day, Georgia arrived at the General's Mansion.
Longgesen was furious: "I told you not to leave the battlefield! What did you regard my order as!"
Georgia lowered her head and said, "General, I have lost command, and it is useless to stay on the battlefield."
Long Gesen said in surprise: "What the hell happened?"
Georgia said: "This is exactly what I want to report to you. I heard that the king submitted a petition to Barkern the night before."
"Please help?" Longgeson couldn't believe his ears, "Why should I ask for help?"
Georgia shook her head and said, "I don't know the specific reason, but I know that the two sides have reached a peace agreement and the battle will end in a few days."
"We have been winning battles, why should we ask for help?" Long Gesen sat in the chair, speechless for a while.
He stood up and walked to the door of the mansion. When the young general saw Long Gesen, he immediately stepped forward to stop him.
"General, please go back to the mansion!" The young general pulled out half of his sword. His expression was very serious and even a little arrogant, but Georgia knew his weight. As long as Longgesen was willing, a punch could make him lose his ability to resist.
He looked forward to Longgesen's punch, but Longgesen did not do so. He returned to the bedroom and wrote a letter to the king. In the letter, he stated his interests and hoped that the king would give up the idea of peace talks.
He knew how painful the price of peace talks was. If Barkern returned to the capital, the king would become a pure puppet and even a prisoner.
"Talk this letter to the king," Longgesen stuffed the letter into Georgia's hands. "It's related to the survival of the kingdom. Even if you have to fight for your life, you have to send it."
Georgia received the order and left the General's Mansion.
But he did not go to the palace, but went to a house and changed into a dress.
This outfit is very special, all white, but not easily noticed. She is wearing a mask on her face, but there is no sense of incongruity.
Bai Ying, the best spy under Howet.
He was about to leave the capital, but in fact he should have left a long time ago. He stayed until now just because he couldn't bear to leave alone.
He always thought that Longgesen was still saved, and he believed that Leo also needed an excellent general.
If Longgesen had just punched the young general, he would have fled with Longgesen. If Longgesen was willing to summon Feng Xiao and attack the palace, Georgia would have fought with him.
But Longgesen dared not do anything, he just wrote a letter.
Georgia took out the letter, too lazy to take a look, and burned it directly.
Even Georgia is too lazy to watch, why does the king need to watch?
What is the difference between a warrior who has no blood in nature and a domestic slave?
Georgia walked onto the street in white clothes, like a white light, and disappeared near the city gate in a blink of an eye.
...
The anxious Baccarn fell from the sky and did not respond immediately when he saw the king's letter. He suspected that it was the king's conspiracy, but for several days, he could not see Longgesen on the city wall. Baccarn was a little moved.
The king promised him to imprison Longerson for a while to show his sincerity. Although he could not understand the reason for the king to do so, Barkern still proposed the terms of peace: to send Longerson before him.
Barkeen was a little guilty, and even the leaders of other Divine Punishment Army questioned him.
"We have been defeating wars. How could the king agree to such a request? Who wouldn't cherish such an excellent general? This must be a trap!"
No one expected that the king would really agree.
It was not a trap. The king really wanted to negotiate peace. He was ready to send Longerson to Bucken.
The Minister of Government's final efforts: "Your Majesty, if you hand over General Longgesen to the God-Punisher, who can still protect your safety?"
"I don't need your protection, and none of you have protected me!" The king said with a dull look on his face, "I don't need you. I will protect myself and tell Longgesen that if he still deserves his oath, if he still has some loyalty to me, I will not send anyone to escort him. This is the last dignity I give him!"
The king was a little worried. After all, Long Gesen still had Feng Xiao war cavalry in his hands. If he really turned against him, it would be difficult to deal with him. However, he firmly believed that Long Gesen was a foolish and loyal person, and he hoped that Long Gesen could take the initiative to die.
...
The Minister of State came to Longgesen's mansion and conveyed the king's meaning to him.
Longgesen sat on a chair like a clay sculpture, as if his soul had been removed.
"Why do you do this?" Longgesen whispered, "Why give up the victory you won?"
"He didn't believe we could win at all," said the Minister of State. "I say again, that weak person is not me. I just cater to his weak ideas and helped him make some weak decisions."
Longgesen didn't sleep all night. The next day at dawn, he put on his brightest battle robe and walked out of the mansion gate.
The young general standing at the door stepped forward and stopped him and said, "General, how many times do you want me to say that you can't leave the mansion."
Longgesen said: "This is your Majesty's order, I will leave the city."
The young general frowned and said, "I have not received the order, I want to go to the palace to confirm."
"No need, please get out of here."
"Unless you hear your Majesty's orders with your own ears, you will never think about going anywhere!"
The young general drew his long sword, and Long Gesen punched his nose. The general's nose bone was broken and he fell to the ground with his back. Seeing Long Gesen coming, he was so scared that he quickly crunched to the corner of the wall.
Longgesen rode his war horse to the south of the city. He first looked up at the top of the city for a while, and then asked the soldiers to open the city gate.
Although a new general came up on the city wall, the soldiers still obeyed the general's orders.
After the city gate opened, Longgesen rode his war horse toward Barkern's camp.
Barkeen had prepared the stake for Longgesen, right in the wilderness outside the city.
The God-Punisher ordered Long Gesen to dismount, and Long Gesen heard the voice in the dream again:
"No matter how many achievements you accomplish, it makes no sense, and in the end it will only make the king hate you even more."
"King, it is not until today that I understand that my achievements do not belong to you, you do not have that qualification, and my achievements only belong to my God."
