Chapter 3 Single-mindedness
"Lisanna. Alexander turned his head to look at his personal bodyguard, he was not very surprised by the girl's sudden request.
Strictly speaking, Lishana is not a female general who is good at commanding troops. She had done quite hard when she was the captain of the second squadron of the Golden Eagle Knights, and if it weren't for Alexander's constant help to her, Lisanna would have been removed from her military position long ago due to poor command.
Krisanna also has her own advantages: that is, the ability to fight alone that many men are naturally inferior.
Unlike the fierce warriors in the army, Lisanna's fighting style is more geared towards agility and speed. As a result, Lisanna has a more delicate and gentle control of her strength than other warriors in the army, and in addition to being able to fight enemies head-on, she also does things like stealth assassination better than other men. Because of this, when there is no help from intelligence agencies such as the MIA, Lishana will occasionally give up her duties as the personal guard of the Legion commander to do things like infiltration and assassination.
So Alexander knew that in this case, it would be okay to let Lishana take a few people to give it a try. But this time, His Royal Highness the Second Prince was a little hesitant, because he had also seen recently that Lishana seemed to be a little out of shape.
Alexander didn't know if Lishana's recent anomaly was due to relatives or something else. However, since Lishana's condition is not very good, the second prince is not very comfortable to release Lishana to perform such a dangerous task.
Alexander turned his head to look at his bodyguard, and then asked seriously, "Are you sure?"
Alexander did not immediately reject Lisanna's proposal, and as an imperial prince with a good aristocratic education, he naturally understood what was the right thing to do to respect women. He looked at Lishana seriously, then asked, "Are you sure?"
"Really, it's my bodyguard, but instead I was asked to protect you, and next time something like this happens, I won't let you be my bodyguard again. Alexander's words somehow resurfaced in Lisanna's mind.
In the past, Lishana would not have done anything she was not sure about. She knew how many lives would be affected by the outcome of this war, so she would never do anything that she was not sure would do. But today, somehow, Lishana just doesn't want to deny that she can't do all this. It feels like ...... If you deny it yourself, you will lose the whole world......
Lisanna drilled her little fist, she looked up at Alexander, "There is no certainty of victory, but Lishana is willing to try!"
"......" Alexander looked at Lisanna in silence, unlike Regner's incomprehensible idiot, although Alexander did not open the harem as wide as the scumbag Regner, but he knew how to interpret her inner thoughts through the girl's expression. According to Alexander's experience, although Lisanna's current words seem to be extremely certain from a literal point of view, Alexander has heard a lot of uncertainty from Lisanna's tone. If Lisana is allowed to go, there is no doubt that it is dangerous.
Alexander hesitated for another two seconds, but at the end he nodded, "Okay, since you say so, then let you try." ”
"Thank you for your trust!" Lisanna was overjoyed, and she was determined to do this no matter what. She wanted to prove to him that she wasn't already a good-for-nothing guard.
......
On the night of the next day, an assault team silently came to the edge of the walls of the Costa Fortress under the cover of night......
Lisana pinched the nail rake in her hand, she looked up, and then helplessly found that she was still nearly ten meters away from the finish line......
Several of the surrounding warriors of the Golden Eagle Knights had also begun to sweat on their foreheads, and it was no wonder that under normal circumstances, it was already quite difficult for them to maintain a vindictive disguise to carry out stealth work. And now, these warriors not only have to maintain their vindictive camouflage, but they also have to perform dangerous climbing maneuvers on the steep walls that go straight up and down.
Humans are not geckos, and climbing on such walls is not an easy task. Normally, no one can do this kind of thing without tools, except for a pervert like Regna, and now, even with the help of some simple tools, it is still quite difficult for Lishana and the others to climb on this bare wall.
Now, many of the warriors of the Golden Eagle Knights were already oozing beads of sweat on their foreheads, and they were struggling to move their bodies, trying to be able to advance a few meters upward.
And in addition to climbing, the bigger problem lies ahead. Because in addition to fighting gravity with their own strength, they also have to control their own strength to make the smallest sound, so that the whereabouts of this group of people can be discovered as late as possible. In addition to these, when all of them have already climbed the walls, there is a fierce battle waiting for them.
None of the warriors who volunteered to participate in this raid were mediocre - if they weren't strong enough, they wouldn't have the confidence to carry out such a difficult task.
And Lisana is the commander-in-chief of their people, if nothing else, she should be the strongest of them. Although Lisanna's command skills are average, her superior individual combat ability also gives her the qualifications to control and command these elite warriors. And in some cases, absolute obedience that borders on stupidity is more useful than sensible but ineffective command.
But......
Lisana turned her head to see that a surprising character had appeared in the raiding party. That was Oliver, the commander of the Nineteenth Corps of the Hawk Imperial Cavalry Regiment.
According to Lisanna's knowledge, this Oliver should be a high-level warrior who has just stepped into the high-level realm. In terms of personal strength, he is far inferior to Lishana, but in terms of the strategy of leading troops to fight, he is much stronger than Lishana.
But the problem is that although Oliver has joined the team, he is only a commando. Oliver was not responsible for any command of the assault.
Why should I be asked to come when there is a better conductor?" Lisanna's mind could not help but have such a question, but she did not think much about it. Now the priority is to help Alexander and the army that is ready to take the city gates, and the rest will be thought about later!
Lishana reached out and carefully clasped the edge of the wall, her arm exerting her head from the wall.
The Stoke Imperial soldier who was in charge of standing guard was less than two meters to Lisanna's left at this time, but because he was so focused on the distant scene, he ignored Lisanna's movements almost right under his nose.
Lishana adjusted the stability of her vindictive disguise, and she used her arm to climb over the wall. Then the cat bent over and slowly came behind the guard.
Many warriors also climbed to the edge of the city wall, but after all, they only had the strength of a mid-level warrior, so they didn't dare to climb over the city wall casually at this time, just lying on the outside of the city wall, waiting for Lishana to give the signal to make a move.
Lishana squinted her eyes and carefully recognized the movements of the others, and after making sure that they were ready to attack at any moment, Lishana slowly moved behind the guards she had locked, and then reached out her right hand holding the dagger, slashing the throat of the ignorant fellow.
When blood spattered, all the fighters of the Hawk Imperial Commando Team moved. They also violently climbed the wall, and then used their weapons to slit the throats of their enemies.
"Enemy ......" A quick reflex guard who had dodged the attack of the Hawk Imperial Commando guards, he had just opened his mouth to alert his other companions. But a blade of fighting spirit with golden light directly cut his neck. So the guy made a pitiful sound of unknown significance, and then there was no more silence.
Lisana was a little surprised as she swung her sword to slash down another enemy. Although this Oliver seems to have mediocre strength, the adaptability that encountered the unexpected just now is really impressive.
"Kill these northerners!"
Just as Lishana was about to see if something had gone wrong with her other teammates, there was a loud shout from inside the towers of the wall. A large number of heavily armed Stoke Imperial soldiers then rushed out of the tower. They even set up an ambush!
"Oh no! David was afraid that he had already guessed the threat of the brutes, so he spent a lot of time guarding the gates!" Oliver ran to Lishana and whispered, "What now, captain?"
"......" Lisanna is not the first time to deal with such a crisis, she briefly observes the situation around her. Although retreating at this time was the wisest decision, Lisana was somehow unwilling to leave. She gritted her teeth, and then said, "Go ahead, we may be able to take control of the city gate by storming......"
"......"
"Nothing!
"Li......" Oliver stopped talking, he looked at Lisanna, and then nodded helplessly, "As you wish." ”
Lisana couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when she looked at Oliver's expression, because she always felt that this guy's expression just now was somewhat similar to Alexander's.
And she was right, because when Oliver turned his head, the guy's reddish-brown hair began to turn golden in a burst of magical light. And his figure also became a little taller, and a few seconds later, the golden handsome rich man who Lishana had never tired of seeing countless times appeared in front of Lishana again.
