On the night of early August, the breeze brings the coolness of the Suluz Canal, but after the breeze passes, the sultry heat immediately envelops the people. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In order to relieve the heat, some of the soldiers gathered together to drink fruit wine and beer, and some stripped off to the point where only their pants remained, and poured the whole bucket of water down from the top of their heads.

Franz Green "The Scavenger" was dressed in plate armor, and the sultry air covered him in sweat. He took his men through the areas under the jurisdiction of Lieutenant General Barrett and came to the headquarters of the Central Army. He saw the guards of the command, neatly dressed and in good spirits. The Guard, which was directly under General Maher, was more like a regular army than Lieutenant General Barrett's soldiers.

This morning, General Mach urgently summoned him.

"Boy, the task I have assigned to you today is related to the fate of the empire. General Mach opened with a frightening statement, "Commander Ludwig has been arrested, and I have received news from Thunder Castle that he had planned a military mutiny before his arrest. I don't know who his followers are, so I'll have to do it first. Today I will convene the lieutenant generals and major generals to discuss and directly detain them, stabilize the central army, and then wait for the instructions of Emperor Caesar. You go to a few trustworthy people and listen to my signal action. Remember, pick the ones with quick hands and feet and a tight mouth. ”

Right now, those big shots are walking into the hall of the headquarters of the Central Army one after another.

Lieutenant General Eugenbert, Major General Jean-Francis Miller, and Major General Kane Klein walked into the hall wearing chain mail and helmets in their hands, and they sat on the bench on the right.

Lieutenant General Irma Barrett's huge body occupied almost the entire doorframe, and as soon as he entered, he shouted, "Eugen, you know what the old thing is doing in such a hurry to find us so late?"

Before Lieutenant General Eugen could reply, he sat down on the left side of the bench closest to the main seat, unbuttoned his clothes, poured himself a beer, and drank it in large gulps.

Lieutenant General Eugen crossed his fingers and snorted: "How did I know, a few of us were at the training ground, and we were called in a hurry." ”

"Aha! really diligent, still training so late?" Lieutenant General Barrett laughed, "Look at my soldiers, damn it, it's so hot, you should let them be happy before they follow you." ”

Major General Colebenjamin, with gray hair and a linen cloak draped over his thin body, bowed to the two lieutenant generals and sat at the end of the bench furthest from the main seat.

"Cole, are you swinging, or are you having a fever, and you're wearing a cloak on such a hot day?" General Barrett turned his head to look around, "Just a few of us? What about Major General Charles Webb, and what about Albert Maher's old thing?"

"The old stuff is so good. General Mach stood at the door, his face solemn, all his hair was white, his white goatee hung on his chest, and the old man in chain mail, walking like a fly, sat on the main seat.

"One senior general and two lieutenant generals of the Central Army have arrived, and one of the four major generals has not come? What about Charles Webb?" General Mach immediately scolded Lieutenant General Barrett, "Barrett, where have your subordinates gone? Look at your troops, military discipline is loose, and this barracks is like a casino, a brothel, and a tavern." ”

"Old thing, you've really won a prize. Lieutenant General Barretta pointed at Lieutenant General Eugen, "In my opinion, my troops are heaven on earth, look at Eugen, who is still training tonight, hell on earth, hey, Eugen, how about a beer? Don't get dehydrated." ”

Rear Admiral Francis Miller and Major General Kane Klein looked at each other, Lieutenant General Eugen took a glass of water, ignored Lieutenant General Barrett, and said lightly: "General, can we wait for Charles?"

"Don't wait. General Mach waved his hand and said, "The commander has been arrested on charges of murdering the prince and treason, and will be beheaded early tomorrow morning." ”

Lieutenant General Barrett shouted at the top of his voice, "This is old news. ”

"Be serious. Lieutenant General Eugen tightened his face, "He is a disgrace to the military department." How can we be commanded by such a man?"

"It's as if you first learned about Ludwig. Lieutenant General Barrett laughed, "Podorik Shaozo, the 'tumbler' who was killed in the Misty Hollow incident, once told me a lot of anecdotes about Ludwig. ”

"You say that 'tumbler' who buys officials?" Lieutenant General Eugen crossed his fingers with his hands, and anger appeared in his eyes, "The army is ruined by this kind of person, buying and selling officials, and the rank of Shaozo is worth 50,000 Reichsmarks, and he constantly bribes the top in order not to go to the front." ”

"I don't know who he bribed. Lieutenant General Barrett smiled, "I heard rumors that the regent Sebastian was going to investigate corruption in the military department. ”

"Sebastian is no longer the regent. General Mach looked at the generals present with a straight face, "As for you, Barrett, don't pretend to be confused. ”

"What do you mean, old thing?" said Lieutenant General Barrett, stunned for a moment, "what do you want to do?"

"Podolik bribed you!" General Mach snorted, "Originally, Ludwig supported you and couldn't move you, but now ...... Grab it!" the general slammed his glass, which shattered to the ground.

Franz drew his dagger and stepped out of the shadows. To his surprise, however, Jean Major General Francis Miller drew his short sword and slit Lieutenant General Eugen's neck. Major General Kane Klein was quick and killed a man arranged by Franz on the spot.

Major General Cole shuddered and fell to the ground, and Barrett's short sword slashed over another of Franz's men.

"You guys!" General Mach took a few steps back and raised his dagger in front of him, "when did you find out?"

"The news of the arrest of Commander Ludwig has long spread throughout the Central Army. It's only a 2-day ride from Thunder Castle, and the news is flying fast. "Let Major General Francis Miller knock the third man arranged by Franz to the ground and cut off his arm.

"You think we're going to be stupid enough to sit back and die?" Kane Klein stabbed General Mach with his sword, "We're just going to do it." ”

Franz took a stride and parried Lieutenant General Barrett's powerful blow with his two-handed sword, and then he flicked his wrist and withdrew from his position to fight back at Lieutenant General Barrett.

"Someone, someone!" shouted Admiral Maher, who was old and strong, but Kane Klein's hands were fast, and the old man could only defend with all his might.

A group of guards poured into the door, and they were overwhelmed when they saw Lieutenant General Eugen lying in a pool of blood and Major General Cole, who was paralyzed in fright.

"Catch them! they will rebel!" Franz slashed with a sword in his body, and the plate armor made a screeching sound.

"Catch the traitor!" General Mach yelled, blushing.

The guards swarmed up and surrounded Lieutenant General Barrett and the two major generals.

Kane Klein slashed a soldier's sword with a single sword, and with a twist of his left foot, he dodged another soldier's stabbing blow, and his sword fell, slashing the soldier's throat.

Lieutenant General Barrett roared, deafening, and the soldiers looked at each other. The lieutenant general's huge body was nimble because he was not wearing any armor. His fierce slash severed the wrist of one of the guards, and he fled.

"Chase!" Franz commanded the guards in pursuit, while he himself protected General Mach and escaped from the headquarters hall.

"I didn't expect them to dare to rebel. General Mach gasped, his chest rising and falling violently with each step.

"Thankfully, we have enough guards. Franz helped the general and pulled a horse over, "General, we need to find a safe place, if Barrett escapes, his troops will come to him." ”

"No, he can't escape. We brought 30 guards. General Mach mounted his horse, "Let's take a look." ”

Before they had gone far on horseback, the headquarters was on fire everywhere, and for a while, the guards of the headquarters were crying and shouting.

"Where are the adults in a hurry?" a man in a purple robe waved his hand, and one of the guards burst into flames, screaming and jumping.

"Are you...... Charles Webb's magician!" General Mach pulled the reins, "Charles Webb has also defected!?"

"Major General Webb is not in good health and says the senior general is having an important meeting. The magician squinted his eyes and smiled, "I'm not late, am I?"

"What qualifications do you have?" General Mach was so angry that his beard curled up, "Take him down!".

The guards shuddered, looking at each other.

"Hahaha. Kill me!" the magician waved his hand, and Charles's soldiers rushed forward with their swords.

"Protect the General!" Franz said to General Mach, "General, flee to the East Gate, we have to go to Thundercastle." ”

"That's right. General Mach shook his head in pain, and with a pull of the reins, his horse galloped towards the east gate.

Sitting on his horse, Franz charged away from a crowd of besieging enemies, pulled the reins, turned his horse's head, and slashed his short sword into the neck of an enemy. Two enemies rushed up, and the horsemen stood up and crashed into the air. Franz was slashed in the back, and the plate armor blocked the attack. He was glad that he was wearing plate armor today, and those inferior short swords of the enemy could not hurt him.

He rushed towards an enemy, who fled quickly. Very well, I will hold them back, and after the general has retreated safely, I will break through again.

"Help General Mach buy time! Kill me!" Franz raised his dagger and was followed by only five guards. The guards were dressed in light leather armor with bare arms, and they relied on small round shields and short swords to fend off the soldiers of Major General Charles in chain mail and scale armor.

Skulls flew up, blood splattered, Franz's horses kicked and bitten, and he himself used his short sword to cut his way through the siege as if he were nicknamed "The Scavenger".

Franz shouted, "Let's break through to the east gate!" and the two remaining guards trotted behind.

Suddenly, an earthen wall appeared in front of him, and his warhorse neighed, and slammed into the wall. At the same time as the earthen wall collapsed, Franz fell off his horse.

At this point, he regretted wearing plate armor, his whole body was like a tin can, and the sound of falling on the ground was not very good. He struggled to his feet and picked up the dagger. The horses broke their necks and lay on the ground dying.

Franz roared, holding a short sword, and shouted: "Come on, who dares to come?"

He slashed down an enemy, and the dagger got stuck in their bones. Another foe threw a ferocious blow to his face, which he blocked with his hand armor, shattering his teeth with a punch and snatching his sword.

Two guards, one chopped into pulp by several short swords, and the last one burned when he ran towards him.

"Hahahaha. The magician laughed, his laughter gloomy and maniac, "You're Lieutenant Franz Green, the 'Scavenger', aren't you?"

"You have the ability to go head-to-head with me!" Franz yelled. Almost, I'm the only one left. Delay a little longer to give General Mach more time to get rid of them.

"Heads-up? The Academy of Magic has taught swordsmanship. The magician drew his short sword and said with a smile, "But I am a magician, so why should I compete with the man who wears plate armor? The magician waved his hand.

Franz subconsciously raised his hand to block his vision. A huge earthen wall suddenly appeared in front of me.

He wanted to trap me. He was angry and angry, he was like a besieged beast of prey, to be played with.

The neighing of a war horse rang in his ears.

He looked up and saw a blonde man in a purple robe holding out his hand.

"Hurry up!" the blonde man urged, "we need to catch up with the general." ”

It was Simon Freeman! Franz was overjoyed, he was a magician directly under General Mach. He mounted Simon's warhorse, and Simon waved his hand again, and the earthen walls appeared in layers, blocking the enemy's pursuit.

"Simon!" came the fire mage's frustrated roar behind him.
