The Sovereign Dragon Ring

Episode 265's

"Open the gate!"

"Open the gate!"

Reynolds and his men continued to howl in anger. The enemy only had a total of three hundred, while Neil City had tens of thousands of soldiers. What to fear? After walking back here, Reynolds and his men thought that their lives had been saved, but now …

"Dash!" A war knife slashed towards the neck of a knight, splitting it into two halves. Exitus.

"Dead, all of you, dead!" The enemy leader laughed wildly.

Reynolds' side quickly disintegrated. In the blink of an eye, only a few remained. Staring at the enemy, Reynolds could only feel despair.

"Am I going to die?"

Reynolds has many goals and dreams that he has yet to achieve. But now, he's gonna die.

On the city walls, a group of nobles surrounded a pale-faced middle-aged noble.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?"

"Don't be afraid, Your Majesty. The enemy will not enter. ”

After being reassured continuously, the middle-aged noble slowly calmed down. This man was the administrator of the Southeast Administrative Province, the younger brother of the Emperor, Prince Julin.

Prince Julin was not born with any spine or ability, but he was the younger brother of Emperor Johann, and Emperor Johann loved this younger brother. Thus, Prince Julin lived a fairly comfortable life.

He knew that it had been more than a decade since the O'Brien Empire and the Rohault Empire were engaged in a large-scale battle. Therefore, he was happy to come here to 'see the border'. His arrival had caused all the local nobles in Neil City to besiege and pamper him.

But who would have thought that when he boasted about the Empire's military might on the wall, an arrow had shot towards him. Fortunately, the guards next to him had blocked the windows.

"Open the gate!" Sad and sad from below.

The eyes of the surrounding soldiers turned red at the scene. Not many enemies. If Neil City's forces were defeated, they would definitely be able to kill all the enemies easily. However Prince Julin refused to let them open the gate.

"Your Majesty, there are not many enemies below. Let me lead my men to go kill them. "A military officer pleaded.

"Omong empty. "Prince Julin pointed his nose and cursed," What do you know? Can't you see that far, there are several hundred warriors? ”

"But Your Majesty, our town Neil has thirty thousand soldiers. "Military officers argue.

Prince Julin grinned, “Now it is dusk, and in the distance, there are many tall grasses. Who knows how many enemies are waiting? Think about it, for only a few hundred people to dare to attack, surely they should have some kind of support, huh? It was not worth the risk and additional bloodshed just to save a few dozen Imperial soldiers. ”

Prince Julin spoke with authority and determination.

"But His Majesty .." The military officer did not know whether to laugh or cry. Clearly, this Prince Julin knew nothing about military affairs. Given how sturdy Neil's city was, even if their enemy had a hundred thousand soldiers, they wouldn't easily break through the defenses of Neil City and its thirty thousand soldiers.

Moreover, his side would only go to kill the enemy under the city walls. It was not that they would chase and counterattack.

Prince Julin wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.

"Isn't that just a few dozen ordinary soldiers? If they die, they die. I don't want to be at any risk. "Prince Julin secretly said to himself. He immediately said loudly, “Remember, you must not attack without permission. Otherwise, if something happens, don't blame me for being merciless. ”

"Your Majesty, the leader of those people seems to be Reynolds. “Someone suddenly said.

"What's Reynolds?" Prince Julin frowned.

"The Reynolds were in the main lineage for the Dunstan clan. ”

"Klan Dunstan?" Prince Julin frowned, but then he laughed indifferently. "To die for the sake of the Empire was a noble thing for their clan. Moreover, the Dunstan clan was a big one. So what if one descendant dies? "

Prince Julin did not care in the slightest.

"Open the city gates!" The silent screams sounded again. And then, no more cries could be heard from outside the city.

Reynolds' body slumped, falling into the city wall. An arrow was on his shoulder, and a terrible wound could be seen on his chest. Fresh blood flowed everywhere.

Reynolds had lost consciousness.

"Senior captain?" Armor Reynolds reveals his status.

The leader immediately grabbed Reynolds, threw him over his shoulder, then shouted to his men, “Let's go. "When he spoke, the ten people left as fast as lightning.

From start to finish, aside from shooting arrows over the city walls, the defenders of Neil city did not open the city gates or engage the enemy in battle at all.

The Dunstan clan had a tremendous influence in the military. Soon, news of how the entire Reynolds unit had been destroyed, while Prince Julin had given a ridiculous order that his troops not leave the city and engage in battle, reached a path to the Dunstan clan.

Not long after Prince Julin returned to his residence, his subordinates told him something shocking.

"Your Majesty, that Lord Reynolds who died in battle was a very close friend of Master Linley. The two studied together at the Ernst Institute, and their affection for each other rivaled that of a true brother. "A bearded middle-aged man said respectfully to Prince Julin.

"What's? Mr Linley? Both of them as close as siblings? ”Prince Julin immediately jumped to his feet.

"That ... that! Why didn't they tell me on the wall? ”Prince Julin said in panic.

"Your Majesty, there aren't many people who know the relationship between Linley and Reynolds. Even in the imperial capital, only a few nobles knew. How did the nobles who were far from Neil City know about this? "

Prince Julin immediately began to frown.

He was not afraid of offending the Dunstan clan. No matter how powerful the Dunstan clan was, they depended on the Emperor's kindness. After all it was only one clan member. All he had to do was say something to the Dunstan clan, and this matter would definitely end.

But offending Linley was something completely different.

"Immediately reach out to the Dunstan clan. Also ... prevent any news from getting out of Neil's town. Don't let the information get to the imperial capital, especially to Linley. Let's just say that Reynolds' death was in battle and to serve the Empire. "Prince Julin was really starting to panic.

The Yulan Calendar, 10009. September 15th. This is the day that Wharton and Nina are getting married. Wharton was the younger sister of the world-famous Master Linley, while Nina was an Imperial Princess.

Their grand marriage was naturally a very important affair.

Inside the palace, beautiful music was pouring out throughout the hall like flowing water. All the nobles toast each other while chatting and laughing.

Linley was really not used to dealing with these nobles. After saying a few words to a few people, Linley left the main hall and headed to the park, with Delia immediately following him there.

"What's up, Linley?" Delia laughs.

"It's not comfortable . "Linley laughs.

“It looks like today your mood is not good. "Delia saw that an unhappy expression was on Linley's face. Linley nodded. "I don't know why, but for some reason, I feel anxious and irritated. ”

When one's spirit had reached Linley level, it was extremely rare that one would feel annoyed and uncomfortable.

"Today is Wharton's big wedding. Be happy . "Delia comforted.

Linley let out a long breath and nodded.

While Linley and Delia were in the park, Emperor Johann received a secret letter. His personal attendant said in a soft voice, "Your Majesty the Emperor, Reynolds of the Dunstan clan died in battle. ”

“Reynolds died? Who's Reynolds? ”Emperor Johann glances at his personal servant. Why should the death of one man be considered by the Emperor? Was he, the Emperor, nothing better to do than worry about this?

"This is Master Linley's classmate at the Ernst Institute. He was on very good terms with Master Linley. "His personal helper said in a calm voice. "Your Majesty, this matter involves His Imperial Majesty, Prince Julin. ”

"Julina?"

"According to our report, Reynolds and his men were chased by the soldiers of the Rohault Empire into the city walls, but Prince Julin ordered his men not to open the gates and only to defend themselves. ”

"defended? How many soldiers does the enemy have? "Emperor Johann frowned.

"Three hundred . "The palace officer said.

Emperor Johann's eyes stood out. "Three hundred, and he told them to just hang on? This Julin ... jep .. "Emperor Johann felt a wave of anger, but then, in the blink of an eye, he understood what had just happened.

He understands his brother very well.

Julin was a person without much ambition. The main problem is that he's a little coward. Emperor Johann did not consider this a defect. After all, he did not need to rely on Julin to lead his army or do anything else.

But now, the situation is getting more complicated. If Linley finds out .. and if Linley is causing the problem …

Thinking back to the terrifying strength Linley had displayed at Mt. Tujiao, and how powerful those two magical beasts were, Emperor Johann immediately understood that unless the experts from War God College intervened, there was no way he could suppress Linley's army at all.

But how could the War God College intervene for the sake of a mere prince?

This is impossible.

"Julina. All he did was create a disaster for me. "Emperor Johann quickly considered what to do. Even though he was furious, he still had to protect his younger brother.

"His Imperial Majesty, as Prince Julin had said, they had no chance to save Reynolds before Reynolds and his men were killed at the base of the city walls. At that moment, it was already very dark, and they were not sure exactly how many people the opponent had. "The palace attendant said softly.

Emperor Johann nodded slightly. He carefully considered how to manage this affair.

There was no way this could be completely hidden!

This was the first reaction of Emperor Johann. It was best not to try and hide something from Saint-stage peaks like Linley. Otherwise, once the lie is discovered, things will go horribly wrong.

Emperor Johann immediately walked out of the hall and headed to the park to look for Linley.

"Emperor Johann?" Linley, who was walking beside Delia, saw Emperor Johann walking over with a horrifying expression on his face. He could not help but call her by asking.

When Emperor Johann saw Linley, the look on his face became even more gloomy.

"Emperor Johann, what really happened?" Linley frowned.

Emperor Johann sighed. "Linley, I'll tell you something, but you need to calm down. ”

"What's going on?" Linley grew nervous. These past few days, Linley had continued to feel annoyed and agitated. Hearing Emperor Johann's words, he began to worry.

It seems like something terrible has happened.

Emperor Johann let out a low sigh. “Just now, we received word from Golden Flame Legion based in Southeast Administrative Province. The army of knights led by Reynolds is ambushed by the enemy forces, and chased back along the way … "

Linley's heart instantly sank.

"Reynolds and a few people managed to make their way to Neil City, but the soldiers of Neil City did not have enough time to save them. Reynolds and his men .. all died in battle! "

"All died in battle!" "All died in battle!" "All died in battle!" ….

These four words struck Linley like lightning, echoing and echoing in Linley's mind. Linley felt as if his mind had become empty, and all the strength had left his body. Everything becomes empty!

After all this time…

"Bro Fourth ... Bro Fourth ... he died?" Linley stuttered.

"Hi, over there. I'm Reynolds, of the O'Brien Empire. "Linley could still vividly remember how she met Reynolds for the first time, when they applied to enroll at the Ernst Institute. The first person he met was Reynolds. At that time, Linley had been with Uncle Hillman, whereas Reynolds had been with his Grandpa Lomu.

Two little kids have become friends, just like that.

Eight years after that, they were together day and night. Reynolds' carelessness, his mischief, his sincerity. One scene after another swam to the forefront of Linley's mind.

"Fourth Bro, he's dead?"

Linley could not believe it. Just a moment ago, his Fourth Bro had been chatting and laughing with himself and Boss Yale. But just like that, he died in battle.

Linley could clearly remember how he looked and how he sounded.

How could Fourth Bro die?

"Mr Linley, I hope you can withstand your grief. "Emperor Johann, seeing the look on Linley's face, began to grow nervous. He was afraid that Linley would go crazy.

Linley turned to look at Emperor Johann, his gaze piercing Emperor Johann like a sharp dagger. In a low voice, he said, “Emperor Johann, tell me, what really happened? I hope you won't lie to me. If you were wise, you might be able to guess what the outcome would be for someone who lied to me! Tell me, what really happened? ”
