Chapter 978 (1/2)
”It seems that you and Loren Turin did not carry out my orders.”
On the floating top of the horn castle, the 14th emperor of the Empire, Conrad I, stood by the parapet on the edge and looked at the campfire campsites connected below:
”I remember the order I gave was very clear - hold on for a month and don't evacuate until the Imperial Army arrives... It's only twenty days now.”
”It's twenty-one days!” the angry Brandon snapped and pointed to the moon at the top of his finger with a cold hum:
”See my emperor clearly, or does that seat make you look bad?”
”Twenty one days...”
Connord, with a cold expression, read it word by word. His eyes stared at Brandon without emotion: ”listen to your tone, it seems that he is still very proud?”
”Proud, no, no, no... I'm not at all - on the contrary, I'm ashamed now.” Brandon shook his head and laughed directly in the face of the accusation of the emperor's brother:
”Do you know what I saw on the wall of eboden? Dear imperial brother... You can't imagine. I saw an originally weak army almost tied with the elite elf warriors;”
”I saw that it would fall when I touched it - really, really. I came to eboden once, and the defense here is no different from that of paper paste - but such a paper paste defense has turned itself into a rotten mud and slowed down the pace of the elves;”
”In twenty-one days, my best friend, with less than 20000 reinforcements and 20000 weak troops, defended the city and saved the lives of tens of thousands of civilians in the city against the stormy bombing of the elf fleet... He went on himself and didn't use the lives of people who can only waste food!”
”As a friend, I'm ashamed to arrive on the last day.”
”It is said that responsibility matches ability and power. In the past, work like this savior... Shouldn't it be the obligation of the desalion family?”
”When will the Empire be saved by others? Why should the hero of saving a city on the verge of extinction be ignored and accused? Why not do better?”
The voice fell. Brandon didn't even notice his teeth clenching. He stared at Connor with a very strong dissatisfaction in his eyes.
”Are you accusing me?”
Connord's eyes remained calm, but his words were cold: ”accuse me of being late... Let your friend, Duke Byrne, stay alone for 20... A day in a city that is impossible to keep?”
”Although, this is what he promised long ago?”
”No - as Prince of East Saxony, I have no right to accuse my emperor, my brother... That's too disgraceful.” Brandon sneered:
”I just 'beg' your majesty, don't let people shed blood and have to cry silently - because as far as I know, you are very good at doing such things.”
Facing the ”bad words” of his brother and heir, connord couldn't even find a reaction on his face.
In other words, he has long been too lazy to pay attention.
”If that's what I want you to say... I'm afraid I'll convict Duke Byrne for my previous promise, don't worry, because I won't do that,” connord said in a deep voice
”I will allow him to return to Byrne with his army and knights and call him when necessary.”
Brandon held his shoulder and said, ”can't... Or can't?”
”It makes no difference; besides, you shouldn't care which one it is, should you?”
Connord said coldly.
Brandon shrugged his shoulders with a dismissive expression.
Of course he doesn't care, but he subconsciously wants to block his ”beloved brother”.
Taking advantage of the gap between the two people's conversation, connord gave a wink behind him. The royal bodyguard on one side immediately came forward, took a letter from the emperor's hand, leaned his ear against the emperor's side for a moment, and then turned away with a dignified face.
Thoughtfully Brandon held his arm and watched the Royal Guard gallop and disappear into the night.
”It seems that your army will arrive soon.” Brandon said lazily with a snort. ”In that case, there should be no business for me and Lauren here.”
”Please don't worry, your majesty, our idle people will go away immediately and will not cause you any trouble; let alone hinder your eyes when you make achievements, so as not to ruin the scenery.”
As soon as the voice fell, connord suddenly looked back and looked at his brother.
Brandon trembled with his stare, but refused to look back.
”I promised that Loren Turin would return to Bain with his men.”
Two pairs of red pupils looked at each other calmly, and connord's calm words had some power: ”but I didn't say... You can leave, Brandon.”
”What, what do you mean?”
”What do you mean... Isn't the answer obvious enough?” connord narrowed his eyes and gradually increased his tone:
”Why do you think I suddenly appear here?”
His royal highness was stunned.
He suddenly remembered that the Hussars of Boye had reported that he had suddenly found an army outpost light cavalry; In other words, Conrad... His royal brother didn't want to be with the cavalry, but specially moved forward light.
Why... Why did he suddenly appear - although it really inspires the civilians and soldiers, brother Connor is not the type who likes to ”win people's hearts”. He really trusts only his legion.
So where is the Legion?
Brandon's eyes widened, and there was a bad Association.
”Hey, is it difficult...”
”The 200000 imperial legions have not been assembled yet - even those that have been assembled can't start immediately and go to the eboden battlefield.” connord's tone is as plain as water, but people can feel the anger in his words:
”Behind me, there are only three legions removed from the fortress of duanjieshan, a total of 50000 people.”
