Release that Witch - Chapter 514

[Chapter 507 Liquidation]

“Your Majesty, the road to the palace has been cleared, and this city is yours!”

Iron Ax said excitedly, kneeling in front of Roland.

The battle lasted from yesterday until early this morning. After breaking through the city gate, the First Army only took two hours to complete the two main combat objectives – to capture the inner city palace and the Eastern Cathedral.

The next step is to eliminate the enemy army and completely wipe out Timothy’s resistance.

Roland looked around and found that everyone had the same excited look on their faces. Whether it was a soldier of the First Army or a witch, their high emotions were about to overflow.

If it wasn’t for him not expressing his stance, they would have already cheered—after Timothy was overthrown, even without the enthronement ceremony, he would have become a veritable king of Graycastle in their hearts.

But his mood was unexpectedly calm.

This “magnificent capital” that represented the center of Graycastle did not resonate with him, nor did he feel like returning to his homeland. In Roland’s eyes, this was just an ordinary city, and its development priority was not as high as that of Longsong Fortress. , the only meaning is… the farce of the King’s Order has finally come to an end, and he can operate his own territory with peace of mind.

Of course, a victory is a victory after all, especially such a hearty victory.

It is believed that the news of the change of ownership of the capital will soon spread throughout the kingdom, and his prestige and fame will reach a new level, which will be of great benefit to the subsequent recruitment of talents and promotion of reforms.

So far, more than half of the spring offensive plan that has been prepared for more than four months has been completed, and now only the south is left… Roland involuntarily cast his sights in the direction of the Falling Dragon Ridge and the farther south.

That’s where you really need to win.

He took a deep breath, interrupted his thoughts, and said loudly, “Let’s enter the city!”

“Yes, Your Majesty,” Iron Ax stood up respectfully, and ordered to the soldiers left behind who had been looking forward to it for a long time, “Two columns, protect yourself !”

Your new king, let’s go!” The

soldiers all raised their weapons and shouted loudly, “Long live King Wimbledon!”

“Long live His Majesty the King!”

Amidst the cheers and shouts of the First Army, Roland stepped off the warship and headed for the palace.

…

Passing through the city gate, the streets are deserted and deserted, and there are almost no people to be seen. There are still traces of the war on the ground, and this is the case the closer to the palace.

Dilapidated houses, uncleaned barricades, mutilated limbs and bloodstains can be seen everywhere in the inner city.

There is no doubt that although the process of seizing the palace was short, it was still the most intense battle experienced by the First Army after its establishment.

Looking at the ruined walls on both sides of the street, Roland couldn’t help but feel a little distressed. The exact number of casualties has not yet been counted, but the corpses of the first army soldiers transported to the rear have now exceeded 20. This is the result of Nana’s timely rescue. .

Without the little girl’s help, this number would have tripled at least.

Stepping into the palace area, the soldiers stationed here knelt down on one knee, and there were two neat rows of kneeling on the road leading to the palace—this is very rare in the First Army where military salutes have been popularized.

Roland didn’t say anything to stop him. From their excited expressions, it could be seen that these people were not welcoming him as members of the army at this moment, but paying tribute to the new king as citizens of Graycastle.

Passing through the lush green garden, the scene in memory overlaps with everything around in an instant – three bluestone buildings are arranged in a triangle around the flowing water garden, forming the territory where the Wimbledon family has lived for generations.

On the left is the Palace of the Sky, which is used to hold banquets or ceremonies, but it has been destroyed by an aerial bomb, leaving only dozens of thick stone pillars standing up to the sky; on the right is the city hall and library, which are currently guarded by the First Army stand up.

In the middle is the most magnificent twin-tower temple. Its structure is similar to the high-rise buildings of later generations. At the bottom is an oval three-story podium, which is larger than the castle area of Border Town. There is a raised tower on each side of the podium The top of one tower is built in the shape of a crown, and the other is in the shape of a crown, symbolizing the supreme authority of the Graycastle royal family.

In the center of the twin towers, two crossed iron cables are slanted to represent the double gun pattern on the family crest.

No matter from the perspective of shape or design concept, it is an outstanding work that can be handed down for generations.

Guided by those fragments in his mind, Roland climbed up more than a hundred arc-shaped stairs step by step and walked into the temple—this kind of experience is very wonderful, even though he came here for the first time, he recognized every house and every road aisle.

In the hall, apart from the soldiers guarding with guns, there was also a group of terrified nobles. Seeing Roland appear, everyone knelt down and greeted his arrival in unison.

“Get up.”

Roland sat on the throne unceremoniously, looking down at everyone.

Among these nobles, he saw several familiar figures.

For example, Lauren Moore, Minister of Finance, Blint Flynn, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Pai Lao, Minister of Justice, Marshall, Chief Intelligence Officer, Marquis Wick, former Prime Minister, and so on.

These people are all courtiers who have served Wimbledon III, and some people’s family background can even be traced back to the beginning of the establishment of the Wimbledon family.

When Timothy Wimbledon succeeded to the throne, these people all defected to the new king. Now, they obviously intend to continue to follow the usual practice and turn their allegiance to themselves.

Unfortunately, I don’t need them.

This is not a court meeting, but a trial.

“Tifeco Wimbledon is suspected of murdering the Grand Prince Gron, rebellion, and colluding with the church. He has now been detained, and he must be severely punished. Soon, his crimes will spread throughout the city and even the kingdom. , do you have anything to say?”

“These crimes are unforgivable, and I have tried to dissuade him, but to no avail.” The Marquis of Wick spoke first, “You overturned the cloud that was weighing on Graycastle, Your Majesty.”

The rest of the nobles responded one after another.

“Really?” Roland asked with a sneer, “Then when he committed these heinous crimes, were you standing by and helping him? Don’t tell me, you just talk and it’s over. UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com”

” This…” the Marquis frowned, “You don’t know, after Timothy took the throne, he promoted a large number of cronies, such as Lanli, Skaer and Sir Morris, whether it was dispatching knights or forcing troops, it was not We can manage it.”

“Yes, Your Majesty, please learn from me.”

“When he sent His Highness Goron to the guillotine, he even bypassed the trial court,” Pai Lao coughed and yelled, “The executor is also a member of the Knights. I can’t do it at all.” Stop him.”

“…So what happened this year has nothing to do with you, right?” Roland’s evaluation of these ministers has dropped a little bit—not so much as assistants serving the king. It is said that interest groups with their own calculations are cancerous tumors attached to the royal family.

Perhaps at the beginning of the founding of Graycastle, the noble ministers were indeed the king’s right-hand men, but after hundreds of years, they have completely ossified and degenerated.

“In that case, let’s play a game.”

“A… game?” Everyone showed strange expressions.

“A “judgment game” called I Ask You Answer.” Roland swept across the nobles present, “If you lie, you will be eliminated. Remember…you only have one chance.
