Heroes of Might and Magic: Knight Chapter 529: Show up
No one who is used to living a good life is not afraid of death. Under the siege of dozens of heavily armored infantrymen under Amin, Count Newman finally realized that Amin was serious about it. This was not a simple seizure of power. , this is for life.
These carefully trained infantrymen under Amin have always only known Amin but not the Newman family. No matter how Earl Newman roared threats, these soldiers just remained silent and only held up their shields under the command of the officer. During the siege, Earl Newman, who was not good at fighting, relied on his own strength and fighting spirit to cut down several soldiers and then was restricted from moving. He suffered several wounds on his body, especially the wounds on his legs. There was absolutely no possibility of him escaping.
"Let me go! I am the head of the family. I can give you everything A Ming can give you."
"No, I can give you twice as much!"
Under the threat of death, Earl Newman finally could no longer control his family's posture, and began to try to persuade the surrounding soldiers to surrender.
"Cang!"
But the surrounding soldiers were still unaware of Earl Newman's attempts to win over them, and they just attacked with their heads down. Several spears stabbed Earl Newman who was still resisting. The thrusting spears were knocked down, but with his fighting spirit and strength exhausted, he could no longer directly suppress the person with force. A few seconds after the weapons came into contact, several spears jumped directly from the sword in Earl Newman's hand.
"Bang!"
Immediately afterwards, a blunt instrument hit Earl Newman's back hard. Earl Newman, who had already lost his strength, was hit by the hammer. His whole body was filled with anger and blood, and he fell to the ground.
"Amin, let me go! Let me go! From now on, the Newman family will be yours, and the title of earl will be yours!"
Count Newman, who was knocked to the ground, no longer cared about dignity and face, loudly begging for mercy from Amin not far away. He now understood that these soldiers were nominally private soldiers of the Newman family, but in fact they were private soldiers of the Newman family. It was completely controlled by A Ming early in the morning, and it was useless for anyone except A Ming's orders.
Hearing Earl Newman beg for mercy, Amin paused for a moment in his departure and slowly turned his head.
Seeing Amin turn around, Earl Newman finally showed a glimmer of hope. This second son, who originally disgusted him, now completely became his hope for survival.
Earl Newman tried his best to show a loving look towards Amin, hoping to arouse Amin's inner compassion for his father.
When Amin saw Count Newman's look, he was also stunned. It seemed that he had never seen Count Newman show such an expression to him since he could remember it. The look of disgust was always in his memory, and It became more and more obvious as he got older.
At first, it was because Amin was born that his mother died in childbirth, which made Earl Newman feel that Amin was an ominous person. After having this preconceived dislike, Earl Newman became more and more displeased with Amin. He would punish A Ming for trivial matters, and finally sent A Ming out of the castle just to be out of sight and out of mind. Therefore, although A Ming and Earl Newman were father and son, their family relationship was very weak.
But if Earl Newman has no kindness to Amin, it must be without conscience. Regardless of the grace of childbirth, no matter how unloved Amin is by Earl Newman, he is also the second son of Earl Newman, and there is no possibility of a side branch. If a slave dares to bully someone, there should be no shortage of money and resources.
At least with this identity, Amin’s starting point is higher than 99% of the people in the kingdom. He can practice the breathing techniques and qi-entraining skills passed down by the Newman family. He does not have to go to the army to accumulate military merit like civilians, and only after a narrow escape can he get the conditions. The lowest cultivation path.
Therefore, Amin didn't actually have much resentment toward Earl Newman and the entire family. If it hadn't been for Earl Newman's obedience to the kingdom's orders and his collusion with the Rising Sun Cult, Amin wouldn't have been so decisive.
Looking at the loving and even flattering expression that Count Newman tried so hard to express, A Ming finally softened his heart and thought about the benefits of his family.
After thinking for less than a second, he moved his lips and gave instructions to the person not far away:
"Give your lordship a happy life, don't bother."
"Chi!"
Amin's attitude is already very obvious. The besieging soldiers and knight officers are even less likely to hold back at all. Since they want to give a happy meal, it is natural for a knight-level officer to take action personally. Although Earl Newman At this time, he fell to the ground and had no strength to resist, but after all, he was wearing excellent armor, so it would be unbelievable for ordinary soldiers to suffer more pain.
A knight-level master stabbed his sword through the gap between his helmet and back armor very neatly, and with the sharpness of his fighting spirit, he cut off Earl Newman's spine without any hindrance. The smile on the earl's face hadn't even faded away, but his eyes quickly lost their luster, and all that was left was to clean the battlefield.
…
The sun rises, the night recedes, and the morning sun reflects the color of blood...
The corpses in Fort Newman were carried out one by one. To save trouble, most of the corpses were buried directly in the pit.
Because too many people died at night, even though Amin's soldiers had washed it with water several times, the strong smell of blood in the castle still lingered for a long time.
In addition to the soldiers who were still cleaning up the battlefield, there were other people in the castle who were looking at Amin and the blood-stained soldiers with horrified eyes. Most of these people were servants in the castle who were usually in charge. The nobles in the castle ate and lived. They hid in the house during the battle last night and were not affected. Apart from fear, they did not suffer much mental impact.
But there are still some people who can no longer hide the hatred in their eyes at this time. Every one of these women and children of the Newman family had their relatives die at the hands of Amin's soldiers last night. If the eyes were If he could kill someone, A Ming, who was standing silently in the middle of the yard right now, would have been killed long ago.
Although some people's hatred is undisguised, after all, Amin is also a member of the Newman family. After the death of his father, Earl Newman, his brother, and many relatives, he did not bother the surviving female family members in the castle. They were old and weak, so they were just detained and locked up in a room while the battlefield was being cleaned to prevent them from doing anything drastic.
When A Ming's eyes swept across, these hateful eyes did not dare to look at them. They only dared to lower their heads, for fear that A Ming, a madman, would kill them all.
"A Ming, you white-eyed wolf! They are afraid of you, but I am not afraid of you! If you can, kill me too!"
"Kill me and let me turn into a wraith to take revenge!"
Among the women and children who were detained, there were not all those who dared not look at A Ming. A beautiful middle-aged lady suddenly broke out after A Ming's eyes glanced at him. Swearing.
This lady, who is dressed in gorgeous clothes but looks like a madman, is nominally A Ming's mother, but A Ming has no close relationship with this mother.
This noble lady was the mistress of Fort Newman before. She was the daughter of a viscount on the Great Plains. Shortly after Amin’s mother died in childbirth, she married Earl Newman and later gave birth to Earl Newman. Her appearance made Amin's situation even more embarrassing for the two children. Amin's eldest brother had a stable position because of Earl Newman's love. Amin was so disgusted that he was kicked out of Fort Newman.
This woman has been obsessed with putting her son in power, but they all died in the battle last night. The woman who lost her husband and son at the same time basically has no idea of living. Seeing Amin also If you don't dodge, you have to curse a few words to relieve your anger.
"Go back!"
"Stop her mouth!"
"Uh-huh!"
The woman's sudden outburst caught the guarding soldiers off guard. Then they reacted immediately. The two soldiers immediately controlled each other and blocked each other's mouth with a cloth to prevent the crazy woman from swearing.
"Forgive me, Lord Amin..."
"Huh..."
For this cheap mother, A Ming couldn't say he had any hatred. He actually didn't care when he was scolded a few times by the other party, and just chuckled.
Then Amin called his two officers to his side and ordered:
"Bring them all out of the castle and clean the place. Maybe there will be distinguished guests staying."
"Yes, sir!"
Although Amin didn't care about the attitude of these people towards him, he didn't want them to collide with that adult. That adult was the real pillar of mankind. After learning about that adult's deeds, even Amin was so unruly. People actually gave birth to worship.
"Why don't you go?"
A few seconds after A Ming ordered his officer to take the person away, the confidant stayed where he was. After seeing A Ming’s question, he replied:
"Lord A Ming, do you want those people?"
Before he finished speaking, the officer made a gesture of slitting his throat with his hand, and the meaning was already quite obvious.
A Ming shook his head and said:
"It's just a bunch of helpless women and a few children. Let them go after a while."
"But Master Amin, these people may be harmful to you in the future."
Those women are fine and there is basically no threat, but it is hard to say how old the children are. These children who remember things may have an important goal in the future to kill Amin for revenge.
It’s just that Amin doesn’t care about this. These children will seek revenge from him more than ten years later. At that time, Amin is not sure whether the human kingdom is still there. If the human kingdom can continue to exist at that time If it goes down, it won't hurt if he lives a few less years.
"Take them down first. There is no order to kill women and children in the kingdom's laws. According to the kingdom's laws, the most these people can do is to be sent to the front line of Longxingguan."
"Yes, sir!"
…………
Noon
Several knights were walking openly on the Newman Road.
Although there is no identification mark, looking at the majestic horses and the armor and clothing on the people sitting on them, it can be seen that these people are not simple.
The warm winter sun shone on several people, casting light shadows. The leading knight stretched himself on his horse, feeling very comfortable.
"Sir Richard, Fort Newman is ahead. According to the news from Yusidu, the young man named A Ming should have controlled the situation last night."
"He is an interesting person."
