Chapter 956 (1/2)
”Alas... Why are you all crying?”
Late at night, in a temporary camp on the Bank of the gem River, the fire at the head of the ancient castle can be seen not far away, flashing slightly under the starry sky blown by the sea wind.
”Well, it took a lot of effort to save you - this is the second time. Is that how you talk to the Savior?”
The blue haired elf girl with waist inserted pouted unhappily and looked around at the elves warriors who were either silent and sad; The short Azor knife was hung at the back of her waist and shook with the skirt of the war skirt:
”Also, your highness Rodriguez has said that the four court warriors of Azores can't always look so sad, which is detrimental to morale...”
”Have you said enough!” Alexandra, who kept her head down, said coldly, interrupting the elf girl, with scarlet eyes with tears.
”I was almost finished...”
The fairy girl narrowed her eyes and tilted her little head in front of Alexandra: ”but since the dear chief adjutant of the Court speaks, it makes me want to say more!”
”You...?!”
Alexandra looked up fiercely. Almost at the same time, the elf girl turned her right hand like a magic trick, held the short knife behind her waist in the palm, and the tip of the knife against Alexandra's jaw.
”Bared --!”
One after another, the sound of drawing a knife exploded over the camp; Behind them, the elf warriors of the imperial court and the imperial court raised their swords to confront each other, and the collision was imminent.
”I what... Your Excellency the chief adjutant of the court?”
Ignoring the long knife pointing to her side, the elf girl smiled more happily: ”don't forget, you're just an adjutant; and others... Shira is the second seat of the imperial court, or recommended by the Chief Superintendent himself.”
”A mere adjutant dare to disrespect the second guest... It's really treacherous; or do you think cutting off someone's head is the best way for you to repay the benefactor?”
Alexandre with scarlet eyes clenched her teeth, stared at Shira's complacent baby face, and forced her anger to squeeze words from her teeth:
”... put your weapons away!”
Hearing the sound, the duting elf warriors retreated one after another, took back their scabbards and squatted on the ground; The royal court warrior on the opposite side still stood with a knife and looked coldly at these embarrassed guys, but still refused to put down his ”pride”.
”Well, that's right... For Lord Ogan's sake, people won't treat you for your” disrespect. ”After playing a knife flower, Xi Xuela, the second imperial court, retracted the knife into the sheath with satisfaction, and Shui Lingling's eyes blinked smartly:
”Now that the main force has been safely returned, in order to pay tribute to Lord Ogan and to be loyal to his highness rodria - I have a very interesting proposal. I want to ask you here...”
”... do you want to avenge Lord Ogan?”
The voice fell, and all the Elven warriors immediately understood her idea.
”You... You madman!” the fairy female warrior couldn't help but say, ”the battle this morning has exposed our purpose, and the enemy will certainly be on guard. If we make a sudden attack at this time, we will certainly be with the main force of the enemy...”
”It is precisely because the enemy will certainly be on guard that we must seize the last chance tonight!” Shira opened her mouth like a snatch, clenched her small pink fist and said seriously:
”Otherwise, when the enemy strengthens the garrison here, his highness rodria will certainly mobilize heavy troops to besiege here - at that time, I would like to ask you, the court overseers, what other methods are you going to use to recover the humiliation of two defeats?!”
The Elven warriors of the court were silent one by one, and only Alexandra couldn't help asking, ”but... The order of his highness rodria doesn't say...”
”His highness rodriya's order is to take the castle, destroy the enemy's blockade of the coast, and then attack eboden -” the petite Shira smiled cunningly, ”tut tut” raised the index finger of her right hand:
”As for the method... It doesn't matter.”
………………………………
In the ancient castle, black blade, who came with his mercenaries, was leaning against the city gate bored, watching the Legion soldiers who changed their defense evacuate in batches, and couldn't help yawning.
After the first World War in the daytime, not only nearly half of the demon hunters on the wings of the sky were injured, but also the 1000 legions of soldiers stationed in the ancient castle suffered serious losses and urgently needed to rest; So we can only transfer an army with fighting capacity from the wall defense line for a temporary change of defense.
So heiren was caught. In the daytime battle, he and his subordinates suffered the least loss, because almost all the main enemy forces were blocked by the urban defense army and silver blood mercenaries; By the time he replaced his ”reserve army”, the enemy had begun to withdraw.
Before Hei Ren was happy for good luck, he received the order to go to the ancient castle to change defense and watch the night. He appeared depressed under the nearly ruins of the city wall.
The black blade mercenaries who took over the garrison were scattered in various lookout points, and the redundant people were cleaning up and taking care of the bodies and ruins in the castle, cleaning up the fortifications that turned into a pile of ashes, so that the castle could really live.
Looking at the wall that was almost burned to ashes by the flames and all the towers turned into ruins, the black blade secretly drank a little wine, looked around curiously, and recalled the extreme expression that the serious Legion commander could not see before.
I don't know what can frighten the dead man's face like that? Could it be that the Duke from Byrne was not a man at all, but a monster in a human skin bag who could kill an Ogre with both fists?
Thinking about it, even the black blade, who felt absurd to himself, ”poof!” laughed, and the wine gushed all over his face.
Huh?!
The black blade who lowered his head and wiped his face suddenly got up, pulled out his sword at his waist and pointed to the gate of the city.
”Who?! come out!”
Just at that moment, he clearly heard a slight laughter coming from that direction - he was very confident in his alertness and reaction when he could be the head of the mercenary.
The next second, several people in cloaks and hoods trudged out of the grass, looking very embarrassed in ragged clothes.
”We are the messengers of the heavenly palace, coming with your Majesty's orders.” the leader said in a hoarse voice, ”it's urgent. Please open the door.”
Heavenly palace?
Black blade frowned and went to the small door on one side of the city gate. At the same time, he alertly called several mercenaries to walk behind him: ”Your Majesty's Messenger, how can he come from the other side of the gem river?”
”Because we just returned from lottel and received the order to go to eboden.” the leader said as he watched black blade open the door:
”Greetings from the dead former Duke of lottel!”
Huh?!
This is the last word black blade heard.
”Poof!”
Just as he opened the door, the bright Azor long knife had stuck out of his back neck.
The next second, two dark shadows jumped down from the wall; Several mercenaries behind heiren fell to the ground one after another, and their blood spilled in front of the city gate.
”Enemy attack --! Enemy attack --! Enemy...”
The anxious cry stopped suddenly, and an invisible arrow ran through the guard's throat.
But the mercenaries have reacted. There are figures waving torches and rushing towards the city gate in a panic in the castle; A warning horn sounded on the wall, asking for help in the direction of the wall.
The elf warrior who took off his cloak opened the city gate, and the elves hiding behind rushed into the castle.
