When they left the city, these people still looked young and immature.
Now, after the baptism of life and death, everyone's temperament has undergone earth-shaking changes.
That kind of heroic spirit was filled with bloody murderous intent.
among the crowd.
Guo Baokun curled his lips, snorted in his heart, and thought to himself, the more proud he is now, the more embarrassed he will be in a moment.
Today, it started off with enthusiasm but ended in dismal fashion. He wanted to see how the prince could keep his dignity.
Guo Baokun arrived early in the morning and found a position with a good view.
On top of the city tower.
Lin Wan'er and Ye Ling'er took a place.
"These women are so heroic and inspiring!" Lin Wan'er exclaimed.
"Yes, it's really enviable. I also want to be like them, fight in the battlefield and achieve great things.
It turns out that women can also live this way." Ye Ling'er looked expectant.
"I'll go and beg the prince to accept me later."
Lin Wan'er glanced at her and said nothing.
Under the city wall, the second prince looked around but could not see the crown prince.
"The East Palace is so arrogant!"
When his own guards returned to the city, they did not even come to greet them.
All the civil and military officials were present, but he did not come.
Could it be that he knew that he would be humiliated today?
So, just don't come?
The second prince guessed in his heart.
However, whether he comes or not, he is sure to lose face today.
Because, in this situation, no matter whether he wins or loses, the prince will lose all his face.
Although he could not kill the crown prince, the second prince was still confident that he could embarrass him.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly rang out.
The ground was gravelly and vibrated slightly.
The Black Knights have arrived too!
On the other side, a convoy, escorted by red-armored knights, also arrived.
The Slaughter Army, the Black Knights, and the Red-armored Knights gathered together.
"Prince, let me see what you are going to do now!" The second prince shook his hair and laughed softly.
