Chapter 113: A model of nobles and a model of loyal ministers!
Of course, meeting the king and all that was an afterthought.
Seeing that the battle outside the royal capital was one-sided, Leon, who had finally put on his clothes, immediately got on his horse and raised his arms to the surrounding soldiers and shouted: "
For His Majesty the King!"
In an instant, the loud slogan shook the world. .
The coalition soldiers who had been rehearsing for a long time immediately responded to Leon's call and shouted loudly:
"For His Majesty the King!"
The deafening slogan burst out from the mouths of the soldiers, covering the entire battlefield almost instantly. The majestic momentum is enough to scare any enemy.
So much so that even the royal guards hovering on the city wall heard the thunderous shouts.
In many cases, atmosphere is very important.
After a moment of confusion, the soldiers who had been fighting fiercely on the city wall for several days couldn't help but feel shaken. Then a king's guard who was among the soldiers shouted the same slogan...or maybe it was due to the herd effect
. Or to vent their emotions after days of fierce fighting, the same slogans began to burst out among the soldiers defending the city.
"Loyalty! Unspeakable loyalty!!"
"Viscount Antolia is truly the pillar of the kingdom and a role model for the nobility!"
Standing on the city wall and among the soldiers, Wilbert I was greatly shocked by this.
This is an atmosphere that cannot be experienced at all in the palace. This is an emotion that should not appear in the superiors.
However, in just one day, after experiencing such ups and downs, as Helsen's army gradually retreated, Wilbert I's mood was already in place and he couldn't help but praise again and again.
Outside the city, the guards who had gathered around Leon gradually dispersed around at this moment.
Under the sunlight, Leon's body seemed to be emitting a pale golden light.
The handsome face, the bright armor, the simple scabbard, the straight horse...
At this time, Leon was like the paladin who saved the kingdom from fire and water as the bard said, using the holy sword in his hand to repel those who tried to shake the kingdom. Rebellious, countless southern nobles gathered behind Leon, as if singing a hymn of loyalty on this magnificent battlefield.
At this moment, Leon is shining!
...
There is no doubt that this is a hearty victory.
Although Helson escaped after all, Leon never thought of doing anything to him.
Because no matter how angry Helson is with himself today, as long as he is still a normal person and as long as he still has thoughts about the throne, then Wilbert I will always be his first target.
What's more, today's Helson is obviously like Squirtle doing sit-ups and unable to turn over.
So no matter what, this is the first major victory achieved by the nobles who supported Wilbert I since the Duke of Sadwind Castle and the third prince Helson rebelled one after another.
After defeating the rebels under Helson, Leon immediately ordered the Southern Allied Forces to retreat dozens of miles. With his actual actions, he proved that the Southern Allied Forces had no ambitions for the king in front of them.
This also means that after several days of siege, the siege of the royal capital has finally been completely lifted, and Wilbert I's rule over the Kingdom of Andal will also continue.
As the city gate that had been sealed for a long time was slowly pushed open, Leon Jimena, Viscount of Antolia, became the first nobleman to step into the royal capital after the enemy retreated.
Beside him were twenty Antolian soldiers with high morale and strict military discipline, as well as a group of southern nobles.
Andal King Wilbert I personally stood behind the city gate surrounded by guards to greet the southern nobleman who had come from afar.
Although Leon was only a viscount, at this time he was a well-deserved hero in the eyes of Wilbert I.
Where is the relief here?
This almost abruptly extended the life of Wilbert I's rule. Not only did it completely break the previous deadlock, but it also revitalized the situation in the kingdom from point to point!
This is really not an exaggeration.
Prior to this, although the Duke of Sadwind Castle led his army south, no matter how hard Wilbert I mobilized his manpower, he always needed to guard against Helsen in the east.
Now, the surrender of the southern nobles and the defeat and escape of Helsen suddenly made the situation in the Kingdom of Andal clear.
"Leon!"
Regardless of the waiter's obstruction, Wilbert I greeted him very kindly.
At this time, Leon seemed particularly humble, kneeling on one knee to show his loyalty to His Majesty the King, just like before in front of the Duke of Galicia.
Don’t be afraid of too much, just be afraid of not being enough.
Although his fiefdom is far away in Antolia, the southernmost tip of the kingdom, and he has never seen this king before, at this moment, the corners of Leon's eyes were already wet with tears.
"Your Majesty!"
After a brief deliberation, Leon shouted angrily:
"There is a traitor in the kingdom!"
"As early as when he raised his troops to march north, the Duke of Galicia deceived us, claiming that he had accepted the call from His Majesty the King. We have to go north to suppress the rebellion of the Duke of Sadwind Castle!"
"But I didn't expect that the Duke of Galicia would actually collude with the third prince Herson and try to take advantage of the chaos to attack the royal capital!" "
Until the Nangu City was destroyed, this was like a dream. When I first woke up, the Jimena family had been vassals of the kingdom for generations. The ancestors of the family had sacrificed their lives and blood for the kingdom of Andal. How could they be such a treacherous and evil villain with no chivalry?" "So he became angry on the spot
. From the heart, I killed the Duke of Galicia, and I hope His Majesty the King will punish him!"
After saying that, Leon immediately took out the sword in his hand and offered it to him with both hands.
Of course, this is just for show.
Not to mention that it was impossible for Wilbert I to kill meritorious ministers in full view of the public. Even if he suddenly became insane, Leon could ensure his own safety by relying on his magical strength.
However, even if it is just a show, it is still an attitude.
Leon's performance can be said to be the best of all dynasties. Wilbert I had never seen such a performance before, and he was shocked by Leon's words and actions on the spot.
Looking at the gleaming sword blade, looking at the viscount kneeling on one knee, and then thinking of the wise and calculating princes and ministers at the imperial meeting, the young king couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"This... is really..."
For a moment, Wilbert I's voice was choked with sobs.
"Kill a traitor like the Duke of Galicia!"
"Leon Jimena is really a model of nobility! A model of loyalty!"
After the words fell, King Wilbert I quickly offered Leon his hands. Throwing his long sword aside, he used both hands to support the Viscount from the South who came from afar.
When the young king finally met Leon's eyes, he only saw one word in Leon's eyes...
loyalty!
loyalty!
(Also...)
