Chapter 1086 (2/2)
”These martial arts men are not suitable to be rulers at all, even if they are cruel rulers - really, they burn down the countryside, destroy the fruit forest, and even kill all the imperial people in the villages and towns. I don't mind, but it's too much to even manage the warehouse!”
”I think if we let them go on like this, let alone live, I'm afraid they can tear down all those fortresses and sentries.”
Listening to the little elf Prince's complaint, the chief Wizard of the imperial court bowed: ”Your Highness, as your servant and courtier, I am willing to serve you anytime, anywhere.”
”It's not a service, it's a reward.”
Rodriya Azor nodded with satisfaction: ”Your Excellency Anson ZAD, you have been promoted - from now on, I appoint you as... Well, consul and tax collector, justice and first inspector of Western Saxony!”
”I grant you the right to say nothing but me. You can even form your own staff team - you have absolute command and law enforcement power over any noble warrior under the control of my army.”
”In short, I want you to change the terrible current situation for me in the shortest time, so that the areas conquered by us can provide food, supplies and materials to the army... Well, there are some slave workers when necessary; anyone who disobeys your order will cut off his brain bag for me!”
The elf little prince waved his hand very hard to show that he had made up his mind.
A different color flashed in Anson ZAD's eyes.
As far as he knows, the second batch of reinforcements from the mainland have arrived in eboden and will soon come along the little prince's marching route to support the battle against the imperial capital.
In the face of such a reinforcement, his highness rodriya Azor's first reaction was not excitement, but faint fear - because if his army was too bad, he would have to rely more on subsequent reinforcements.
He doesn't want others to feel that he is important to him, and he doesn't want to show any weak or vulnerable side in front of outsiders - he is a player, this is his game, and only he can control the situation and decide how to act, not the other way around.
”Then it's up to you, consul of West Saxony.” he patted Anson ZAD on the shoulder, and the elf Prince joked:
”When this matter is over, if I can successfully inherit the throne by relying on the imperial capital, I will make you the first imperial front of the eagle king in the history of the Azores Kingdom...”
”Boom, boom, boom, boom!”
The sudden explosion robbed the little prince of his words.
The little prince, Anson and all the Elven warriors who were shocked turned their heads and looked at the source of the explosion - they saw a raging fire mixed with thick smoke, straight into the sky!
Looking at the fireworks rising from the ground, the stunned rodriya Azor was stunned for a minute, and then suddenly responded: ”that, shouldn't it be over there...”
”It's the manor we just passed!”
Anson ZAD's reaction was a little faster. He suddenly waved and quickly scolded the surrounding Elven Warriors: ”all guard, immediately send someone to investigate the situation and see what happened!”
”Yes!”
With a neat roar, an elf warrior disappeared into the dense forest beside the road, and the rest was tightly around the carriage, with a steel gun set up and a long knife out of the scabbard.
A very bad premonition spread in the heart of Rodriguez Azores.
A moment later, the elf warrior who hurried back proved his guess - and brought even more powerful news.
”Loren Turin?!”
Hearing the name, the elf prince was stunned: ”how could he appear here? Didn't he go to the duanjie mountain in the north?!”
”Your Highness, please believe that even if you die, you can't forget that person's appearance!” the elf warrior knelt on one knee and gnashed his teeth:
”The commander in chief who captured the manor was indeed the Duke of Byrne who blocked the landing of the army for a month in eboden and killed the Chief Superintendent!”
”In addition, my subordinates also heard cries such as' long live the Duke 'and' God bless Turin ', so it must be Duke Byrne!”
”How many troops does he have?”
Anson ZAD immediately asked a more critical question: ”is there any other army besides himself and the guard?”
”My subordinates only see a large number of elite 'Bain Knights' who are fully armed, equipped with iron armor and big sword, as well as horses and long guns. As for the number... At least thousands!”
”Thousands?!”
”At least thousands, and there is the figure of the Duke guard - the demon hunter.” the elf warrior nodded heavily: ”I'm afraid it's just his vanguard elite, who is conducting Force reconnaissance.”
”If so, according to our previous experience in fighting with Bain legion, a large number of heavy infantry legions and light cavalry legions must be nearby!”
The elf prince was shocked.
”Your Highness, do you want to fight?” Anson ZAD looked back, his eyes filled with a trace of fear and a trace of War: ”that man has only more than a thousand people around to protect him now. If we start at once, his army will be too late!”
”In any case, we must make a decision at once!”
The little prince who gradually recovered from the shock took a deep breath, as if he had made some great determination.
”Anson, you're right. The more this situation is, the more we should be calm, not panic, not afraid. We are proud Azores, noble warriors and the blood of the eagle king. We have to make a brave decision.”
”Then your decision is...”
”Run!”
