Under such circumstances, it was already impossible for Talon X to continue to control his city.
Nobles, especially minor nobles, currently do not dare to move around in the city. Because some of them watched helplessly as the convoy of some nobles was robbed completely by the rout of troops.
Of course they dare not go out. In their own mansion, they rely on thugs to guard the gate or guard the house and castle, and they still have some defense. Once they go out, they become fish and meat to be slaughtered.
The superior class gap that was usually established based on status has now been forgotten by the red-eyed rebels.
Without the intimidation and deterrence of the law, the restraint of reason, and the protection of guns and swords, these nobles parasitic on the branches of society are left with nothing but cowardice and despicability.
There was chaos everywhere, and the king's orders could not be conveyed. The defenders everywhere were fighting on their own, and most commanders could no longer restrain their own troops.
At the same moment, the officer sent by Talon X to inspect the fort and his guards finally reached the ruins of the fort.
Frankly speaking, he knew that his coming here to check was actually useless - along the way, he saw countless defeated troops and chaotic people, and he already knew that everything was out of control.
Even if he saw some clues at this time, how dare he question the fort defenders? What kind of capital do you have to yell at a group of prostitutes?
As long as the other party doesn't like him, who would care if he takes out a gun and kills him in this chaotic situation? The royal power he represents is indeed a tiger skin in normal times, but now it is nothing at all.
However, when he found the fort defenders standing guard, he was still shocked by the scene in front of him.
It was different from what he had imagined. These defenders were covered in dust, and many of them were even injured. Most of the people were in a very embarrassed state, looking like a group of desolate refugees.
Except that there were more people than expected, and it seemed that there shouldn't be so many survivors, looking at these soldiers, they really looked like heroes who fought hard to the end.
It's no joke that these soldiers at least really fought, and fought hard. Their fort only exploded and they could no longer fight, but their bravery left a deep impression on people.
"Sir! Thank you for your hard work!" The king's confidant No. 2, who came to inspect the fort, was so moved that he almost cried. He grabbed the hand of the fort garrison commander and asked with choked sobs.
He even noticed that there were some small cuts on the commander's hands, which were obviously scratches and marks left after falling.
"What did you say! Louder! My ears!" The commander pointed at his ears and shouted at the top of his lungs.
Immediately, the number two confidant who represented the king became a little unbearable. He nodded and shouted loudly: "I will definitely tell His Majesty the King! I will reward you loyal warriors!"
The adjutant of the fort garrison next to him was stunned. He heard the other party's shouts and thought to himself that the number two confidant sent by the king was also an actor! A real talent!
Although you really should pretend to be sincere at this time, the acting is too realistic.
It seems that the other party is also full of desire for survival, and is afraid that if they see the problem on their side, they will be killed without anyone noticing.
What he didn't know was that their acting was actually too similar, covering up all the clues and not giving the other party a chance to figure out the clues.
Because they seriously underestimated the explosive power of those gunpowder, they didn't get far at all when the fort exploded.
A dozen unlucky soldiers were really killed by the explosives they lit, and a dozen more were seriously injured internally.
Of course, there were more minor injuries. Unknowingly, they used the injuries caused by their own mistakes to create the most realistic effect of defeat.
No one could have imagined that he could be so cruel to himself when he was acting, even if he risked blowing himself up, he would self-destruct to cover up the fact that he was cowardly... This kind of thing is too magical.
They're not pretending, they're real! Even the commander's deafness is completely fake...it's really hurtful!
What's even more interesting is that not only were they seriously injured, but the appearance of the fort defenders was also really well made up.
Because they were so close, their bodies were covered with a layer of ashes, and they looked as if they had crawled back from hell.
The original appearance of most people's military uniforms can no longer be seen, and even the blood on some people's faces has been mixed with dust, which makes people awe-inspiring just looking at them.
This is much more conscientious than the domestic anti-Japanese idol drama. It has an absolutely high-reality prop set and full marks for service...
Therefore, although there is indeed a slight flaw in the number of people who survived, at this moment when no one is thinking carefully about it, this subtle difference is nothing at all.

Because of this, in the red eyes of the number two confidant sent by the king, these people in front of him are definitely the most trustworthy and loyal people in the kingdom.
"Everyone has worked hard! Thank you for your hard work! His Majesty the King will never forget your efforts! There will definitely be rewards! There will definitely be rewards!" He was completely moved, thinking that he had found the king's confidant No. 2 in the organization, and instantly felt that he should be safe.
Standing among such a group of loyal and patriotic warriors, what else do I have to worry about? Apart from the palace, this is the safest place now, right?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but straighten his chest, and his words were much more heroic than before.
"Huh?" After hearing the news that His Majesty the King was going to give out a reward, a group of fort officers and soldiers who had ulterior motives were momentarily confused.
They couldn't figure out the situation, and even felt that the other party was trying to fool them with their words - no kidding, there is a saying that the fort was lost in their hands, right? How come they were beaten like this and not only were they not blamed, but they were also rewarded?
I'm afraid it's not to deceive them, but to stabilize the situation first, and then prepare to go back to attack the enemy, right? Some of the fort garrison officers even began to exchange glances with each other.
"This, this... we lost the fort..." The fort commander was a little embarrassed, and reminded him with a guilty conscience while preparing to explain.
The other party still waved his hand indifferently and explained excitedly: "General, don't mind! The city is already in chaos now."
"Even now, there is no news from the other side of the city wall! There are broken troops everywhere, and groups of dozens and hundreds of people are robbing homes and houses. It is simply lawless!" The king's confidant No. 2 was moved while pointing. More and more cities are smoldering in the distance.
Then, he looked back at the officers and soldiers of the fort, and cursed through gritted teeth: "The refugees are disorderly and lawless, and even the nobles dare to intercept and kill them. The roads are most likely not smooth. I have gone through many experiences on the way here. Overcoming numerous difficulties and dangers..."
"General, now that His Majesty the King can find loyal generals and useful soldiers, it is already a blessing among misfortunes!" Having said this, the king's number two confidant couldn't help but sigh.
After sighing with emotion, he did not forget to send a flattery that he thought was very wonderful: "Our Kingdom of Tarun has loyal ministers and good generals like you, General, and so many brave and fearless soldiers. It must be blessed by the gods!"
"So, don't worry! After you and I go back, I will definitely help you put in a good word in front of His Majesty the King. When the time comes...General, you can't forget my little brother."
Uh...did I make a mistake somewhere? The fort commander, whose ears were still not very good, had not yet reacted after hearing these words.
"Wait, you, what did you just say?" Suddenly, he realized something and turned to look at the king's confidant No. 2 who was trying to establish a close relationship.
"Sigh... It seems that the general's ear injury is still serious! I said... after you and I go back..." The king's confidant No. 2 looked at the fort guard's ears with distress, and saw the hole under the ear. There were also dried blood stains, which further confirmed his judgment.
"Shall I go back with you?" Pointing to himself in disbelief, the fort commander grasped the key point and was dumbfounded for a moment.
What he wants is not to go to the palace, which seems to be more dangerous now! What he wants is to stay with the scrapped fort, do nothing and wait for the result, okay?
The king's confidant No. 2 thought that the other party was overwhelmed by his surprise, and repeated proudly: "That's right! Not only you, but also these elite soldiers, come back with me! Defend the palace! Fight the enemy to the bitter end!"
"A bloody battle to the end?" Hearing this word, almost all the fort guards and soldiers were shocked. Should I defend a fort on my own, or should I light a fire and blow myself up? I've already lost half my life, but I still have to defend the palace?
"Yes! Fight to the bitter end with those enemy warships! General, don't worry, the king is just like you and will not surrender!" Feeling that he had grasped the key point, and in view of the tempers of everyone in front of him, the king's confidant No. 2 began to give I added to the drama myself.
God's bloody battle will last until the end, and the ghost will not surrender like you! The commander, who kept cursing in his heart, turned sideways and looked at the adjutant next to him.
"What should we do?" He gave the adjutant a look.
"Who knew, the acting was too much. It was so unbearable in other places, but our face actually showed up..." The adjutant made a helpless expression, conveying the message that he was also speechless.
"I don't know either... Who knew these bastards couldn't even act..." The fort guard understood and shook his head slightly.
Then he glanced at His Majesty the King's confidant No. 2: "I'll explain to the adjutant! Let's take the people and set off now!"
After saying that, he pulled the adjutant aside and made a gesture of wiping his neck behind his back: "Otherwise...if you don't do it, you won't stop..."
"Huh?" The adjutant grinned... I opened the door, you are good, are you addicted to killing?
