My Empire Chapter 14

Chapter 14 14 Black PotThe other party's soldiers have already entered the city, and his own ineffective men have already surrendered, and he is now The only thing that can be relied on is the fleet anchored in the port.
Go to sea! Take the fleet to sea! It was the only thing he was thinking about in the heart now. As long as he leaves the ferry, he can save his little life!
"My lord, my lord! Take a rest, rest for a while..." The only confidant officer who escaped with him sat on the ground like a dead dog, and said in a whimpering voice.
They were exhausted after running all the way. Presumably at this time, the other party should be busy receiving soldiers and controlling the city wall and city gate, so they won't come to them so quickly.
"Then, what's the matter with the explosion? Why? Why is it comparable to magic?" Leaning against the wall, Berman asked in despair after heaving a sigh of relief.
He calmed down, only to realize now that his inner lining was soaked with sweat. He was thinking about revenge when he was running all the way just now, but now he just wants to save his own life.
For such an enemy, it is estimated that even the Arrant Empire is too lazy to provoke him. A nobody like him really has no chance of revenge.
However, sending the news that Serris City has "magician help" back to the Arrant Empire will surely arouse the Arrant Empire's vigilance, right? Although it is not good for me, but Serris City will be wiped out immediately, right?
Thinking of this, a cruel smile appeared on Berman's face. He wants to kill Serris that bastard City Lord Alanhill Chris! He's going to keep this damn bastard alive!
"I, I don't know either!" The confidant officer mentioned those terrifying explosions with a look of astonishment, and he couldn't raise the slightest bit of courage: "Maybe it's the thunder of the devil? "
"The thunder of the devil? You might as well say it is the fire magic of the mage!" Berman scolded the hate iron for not becoming steel: "Useless things! Why didn't a guard bring out?" Ah?"
Hearing his master's scolding, the confidant suddenly felt his innocence, and cried with a sullen face: "My lord! There was so much chaos in the city just now, who could listen to my command? "..."
He wanted to take a few people with him, so that someone could protect him on the way. But a shell just landed not far away, and the entire guard battalion was dazed. How could anyone hear his screams?
even more how at that time, there was a mess, Berman City Lord took the lead and ran away, and he only followed up alone, how could he still have the energy to gather those soldiers who had collapsed?
When passing by other soldiers, he even more impossible ordered them to keep up with him: When the commander was retreating, he gave orders indiscriminately, how could anyone be willing to be his queen? when the time comes everyone running back together, wouldn't it make the situation more chaotic?
At that time, it was the right choice to leave the soldiers on the city wall to hold the enemy for themselves, so hearing his master's scolding, this confidant suddenly felt aggrieved.
Berman also saw the grievances of the other party, and he also realized that it would be useless to criticize his confidants at such a time. At this moment, those who follow him stably are what a superior should do.
So he adjusted his tone and said comfortingly: "Forget it! It's not your fault! It's just that the other party's weapon is too weird...you come back with me. Go Arrant, follow me to move rescue soldiers to take back Ferry City!"
Hearing that his master was going to Arrant to rescue soldiers, there seemed to be a possibility that the salted fish would turn over, and this confidant also had some hope and was immediately excited. Said: "This subordinate is willing to follow the adults to the death!"
"Take off this armor! Hurry up!" Seeing that he had stabilized his confidant and left his hand armor on the side of the road, Berman wiped it off. Wiping the sweat on his forehead, he continued to walk towards the port.
......
On the pier of the port, Laurens stood in the sea breeze with his sword, and behind him were the sailors who were ready to go to sea.
An officer also wearing leather armor came over, lowered his head and said, "Sir! There was a loud noise from the city wall, and black smoke rose... Maybe, that guy Berman. I'm going to lose."
"hmph! He has only been a lord here for a few years. Let's see what he has done to Ferry City? The people are not living, and the people are miserable..." Dissatisfied, he said: "He treats women as playthings and bullies the weak everywhere. I have long seen him upset."
"This time he really kicked the iron plate, didn't expect Serris It was easy to beat Maine and hit us so quickly." The officer sneered and replied.
Launs nodded, spat and said: "Don't give me a chance, if he does give me a chance, I must for the people who have been mutilated by the woman he has harmed all these years, and him. Make a good calculation!"
While speaking, at the end of the street in the distance, two silhouettes stumbled towards the pier. They turned back three steps, and soon came to the front, it was Berman City Lord, and his confidant.
"Quick! Let's get on the boat!" Berman shouted loudly while running gasping for breath.
Laurence pressed the sword, and the smile on his face became colder and colder: "It seems that today's opportunity has come!"
The two ran closer and closer. , When I saw the faces of these sailors who were waiting for their time, I felt a little bad.
Berman stopped his steps, kept a certain distance from Laurens, and asked vigilantly, "What are you doing standing here? Hurry up and get on the boat! I want to get out of here! "
"Where do you want to go, my lord?" Laurens took a step forward with a smile on his face, and asked with a bit of ridicule in his tone.
"I... I'm going to Arrant! I'm the City Lord appointed by Arrant, go back to debrief, the debriefing is always right!" Berman raised the backer of the Arrant Empire and shouted in a guilty conscience. He also knew that if it wasn't for the support of the Arrant Empire, Laurens wouldn't take him seriously.
Launs nodded, got out of the way, stretched out his hand and made an inviting gesture: "Please! Let the adults get on the boat!"
Berman is not a fool, he has already seen If Laurens has harboring malicious intentions against him, naturally he will not easily rely on it. I saw him pressing the long sword in his hand, looking at Laurens gnashing teeth and said: "Laurence! Are you going to betray me?"
"This subordinate just thinks, you City Lord...or Let Yin!" Laurence's smile became colder, and he squinted at Berman and said word by word.
"You! You dare to kill me?" Berman looked at Laurens resentfully and asked sharply.
"Of course I wouldn't dare..." Laurens still squinted his eyes: "But you were not killed by me, you died under the sword of Serris cavalry... Died in chaos In the army."
He killed Berman now, and put the responsibility for Berman's killing on the siege Serris army, and everything will be fine. Whether it is to submit to Serris or wait for the new Ferry City City Lord to take office, there will not be any problem - this is the reason why he dares to turn his face now.
"You!" Berman thought badly, the other party had obviously caught the loophole, and he could only give it a shot to save his own life. So he shouted a word of you on one side, and on the other side he had already drawn out his long sword.
Berman is not slow, but Laurens is faster. This old sailor who has been wandering at sea for many years unsheathed his long sword, like a Flood Dragon Serpent, and drew a strange route.
Berman only felt a sweetness in his throat, and it became difficult to breathe. He dropped the long sword in his hand, knelt down on the ground, and covered his neck subconsciously with both hands, where blood was constantly pouring out, and it couldn't be blocked.
He wanted to speak, but all he spit out was warm blood. He saw that his confidant was slashed to death by several sailors in the distance, and saw that Laurens had long sword returned and looked down at him.
He also heard Laurence's words, which made him feel a little cold in his body: "Berman, this bastard who bullied men and women is dead! Ferry City finally ushered in hope today!"
He stretched out a blood-stained hand, trying to grab Laurens in front of him, but found that his body fell backwards involuntarily. Then he could only see the blue sky, and the thick black-gray smoke that pervaded the sky and drifted from the city wall.
The despairing eyes of the women he bullied drifted past his eyes, the screams of the families he had harassed rang in his ears, and the gold and silver jewelry he occupied Buried at his feet... The only thing I didn't remember was a feeling called remorse.
Chris held on to the reins with his sword, glanced at Berman's corpse, which was already cold, and looked at the tall man in leather armor standing on the pier with interest.
"You killed it?" After a while, Chris asked with a smile.
"You killed it!" With the long sword on his waist, Laurence raised his head and replied loudly.
Chris nods: "Okay! I've taken the blame... I'm Alanhill Chris. Serris' City Lord."
He flicked a few broken lines behind him. Sailing boats, Laurens reported himself: "My name is Laurens, I have no last name, and I am the naval commander of Ferry City."
Chris looked up at the ordinary sailboats: "Very good Nice to meet you, General Laurens."
Laurens was not polite, opened his mouth and asked, "I'm also very happy to meet you. In ten days, I will even break through the powerhouse of Maine and Ferry, Lord. Chris! In addition, I would like to ask... those cloth and woodworking products, you really developed them?"
"Yes, I developed them." Chris has no reason not to admit it, nodded Said: "No way, the tax is so high, if I don't do any business, I have no place to collect gold coins to pay the tax."
"Lord Chris, can you give us some ideas for Ferry City? How to increase the income of our ferry city?" Then Lawnst said, let Chris don't know whether to cry or laugh up: "If you can, I will fight for you!"
