Chapter 125 Confrontation Between the Two Armies 1 (2/2)

”McGregor, I know you're there.” General Robert's voice was heard.

General McGregor smirked and was about to open the carriage door when his wife pulled him back.

”D-Don't leave me behind.” The wife's face was full of fright. She has grasped the situation that this will end in a battle between the royal knights and the western army's platoon that was escorting them.

”Tsk.” General McGregor looked at his wife in irritation. A battle field is no place for a woman. For sure his wife will just be a burden to him.

”You,” The general pointed to one of the soldiers. ”Take my wife and find a safe way towards the western army's camp.”

”Understood.” The soldier bowed. ”My lady.” He extended his arm towards the general's wife.

The wife took the soldier's hand and was lifted up on his horse.

”With just the two of you, I am sure you can slip past the royal knights.” General McGregor explained to his wife.

”Dear, please be careful.” The wife said.

”Do not worry, I won't let Robert defeat me here.” General McGregor said confidently.

After a few words, the soldier taking the general's wife went into the thick woods lining the road and vanished in it's shadows.

General McGregor stepped out of the carriage and saw general Robert leading the royal knights.

”Robert, brother in law. How ironic that it was you that the king sent to arrest me.” General McGregor said with a sarcastic tone. ”Don't you think that the king is also suspecting you as a traitor?”

General Robert knows what McGregor's words meant. It is true, that king Edward was also suspecting him. That is why he ordered general Robert to be the one to arrest his brother in law, to see if his allegiance was still with the king.

”Robert, it is not yet late to come with me. With both our armies, we can take down that king and rule Alvannia together, with you as my right hand.” General McGregor said. ”What do you say?”

General Robert looked at McGregor seriously. Such an ambutious man holding a mighty army and having such power is really frightening. Such power can twist a once honest and good man and be turned into a power hungry monster, like the one in front of him.

General Robert heaved a deep sigh. It is regretful that his brother in law that was once his brother in arms in the war has become an enemy of the country.

”McGregor, why not just surrender yourself.” General Robert said. ”Once you are arrested, I will surely plead for you in front of his majesty so that you won't get the death sentence. We can still prevent this. The ones who will suffer will be the civilians inside the capital if you push thru this.”

”Hahahaha!” General McGregor laughed out loud after hearing general Robert's words. ”How foolish of you Robert. You know that the punishment for treason is death. I have no other option left but to push thru and fight. Robert, do you think that puny royal knights with you are a match to my men from the western army? Why not let's see and find out.”

General McGregor waived his hand, making a signal to his men. The soldiers pull out their swords and are ready to attack.

”Tsk, McGregor you give me no other choice.” General Robert also waived his hand and the royal knights get ready for the attack.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
