On Azelio's side - when the four thousand light horsemen led by Azeglio circled the back of Eden's army, he immediately noticed that the atmosphere in the enemy formation had become strange, and it seemed that they were preparing to retreat, when it was raining heavily, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier, making the vision more and more blurred. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Azeglio immediately realized that this was the best opportunity to launch a surprise attack - the heavy rain disrupted the sight and sound, the enemy army was preparing to retreat, the formation was not hidden, and the defense was weak, so why not attack at this time? So he resolutely led the army to brave the wind and rain and rushed into the enemy's rear grain and grass and heavy assembly place!

Due to the sudden attack and the obstruction of wind and rain, the enemy could not judge the enemy situation at all, thinking that it was cut off by Alexander's army, and in a panic, they were defeated by 4,000 light cavalry and fell into chaos.

The Imperial Light Cavalry fought all the way, and thousands of enemy soldiers were splashed with blood - by this time, Azelio's men had penetrated deep into the enemy's food and grass supply lines! After Azelio's order, his subordinates sprinkled the futong oil all over the grain and grass, and quickly threw the fire! But everywhere the fires were lit up, the torrential rain and the flames were shining together - in the raging fire, the enemy soldiers tried to extinguish the fire, but how could they extinguish this fire ignited by fuke oil and could not be extinguished by water? On the contrary, the rain fueled the fire, which spread faster and more violently, and most of the grain and grass were burned!

At this moment, Emma, who was riding with Azelio, pointed to a stubborn cavalry captain in the enemy army and hissed, "It's him—I can recognize him when he turns to ashes!" ”

Hearing this, Azelio immediately turned his horse's head and galloped towards the cavalry captain, who suddenly heard the enemy coming, and also caught his horse and swung his sword to meet it, but saw the long knife in Azelio's hand raised, and slashed out violently diagonally - the two horses staggered, the captain's right arm holding the knife was broken, blood spurted out, and the armor on his chest was also torn from it, but Emma handed out the long sword at this time, and the captain was hit in the heart by Emma's sword because he was hit by Azelio, and then his head was crooked, and he fell from his horse and died.

Then, Azeglio ceased to be in love with the battle and led the cavalry away.

After stopping, Emma fell to the ground and cried to the sky: "Daddy, Mommy! Your daughter has avenged you, and she has killed your enemies with her sword! You have knowledge in the earth and spirits in heaven, and when you hear your daughter's voice, rest in peace. My daughter will take good care of herself! ”

After saying that, my heart was sad and I wept bitterly.

Azelio, who was standing silently beside her, gently patted her shoulder at this time and comforted: "Little sister, don't be sad anymore. The dead are gone, and those who survive still need to move on......"

"Brother Aze!" Emma screamed and threw herself into his arms.

Azelio looked at the person crying into tears in his arms - the pretty face of the pear blossom with rain was poignant and graceful, and the weak and helpless thin and delicate body was pitiful, and he was stupid for a while, and couldn't help but feel pity for love, and held up Emma's little face with the palm of his hand, and kissed her gently on her tear-moistened lips......

Emma's delicate body trembled slightly, and her cheeks suddenly dizzled, and she responded to Azelio's kiss shyly, and then buried herself in his arms, never daring to lift it up again.

Azelio felt an emotion in his heart that he had never felt before, and in thirty-five years, he had never thought of having a significant other in his lonely life; After eighteen years of fighting on the battlefield, he has already polished himself into a Lu man who only knows how to be loyal to the king and kill the enemy, serve the country and do not know the love of the world...... I have never been so eager to have a woman, to capture a feeling, so to take care of her, to protect her, so that she will not be hurt in any way for the rest of her life......

Azeglio suddenly felt that after so many years of wandering, it was finally time to stop - Azeglio had made an important decision about his life...... He hugged Emma's delicate body tightly and said in a soft but firm voice, "Emma, marry me!" ”

Emma looked up in astonishment, and when she saw Azelio's resolute and handsome face, she was sure that he wasn't joking with herself—he meant it! This mature, upright, resolute man would not joke about such a thing, his promises were more precious than gold and heavier than mountains! But...... Do you like this young Imperial cavalry officer? She knew she liked it—what about love? Emma asked her heart: Do you love him? Do you love this man who took care of himself all the way without complaint and avenged his parents? Love this imperial general, who has to devote most of his life to his country and to His Majesty the Emperor, who has been fighting on horseback before, and who will inevitably continue to fight and kill, and who often lives in unrest and danger?

I am grateful for his kindness, and it is not enough to reciprocate it by consciously breaking my bones, but love is not equal to gratitude! The philosopher once said that all the emotions in the world can give rise to love, except gratitude...... The man in front of him looks so young on the surface, but he seems to have experienced a lot of Cangsang, but he still retains a sincere heart and an open mind; It is not like having a high status - it is not possible to have a high status at such an age, but it is also the status of a general, but he has no control over his subordinates, and he is like a brother. Although he didn't know much about him, he could fight hundreds of miles for his Emperor Majesty and go deep into the enemy line alone; For the sake of a promise to a little girl, you can ignore the danger and do not hesitate to take the enemy's head in thousands of troops...... Is such a man worthy of his own love?

Thinking of this, Emma already had the answer in her heart, stared at Azelio's face full of anxious anticipation and hope, nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Okay." ”

Azeglio was so excited that he danced like a child, without the steadiness and demeanor of the imperial ministers and feudal officials, and he didn't care about the strange gazes of his subordinates, so he picked up Emma's delicate body and circled around the spot three times in a row, making Emma Gegjiao laugh.

After stopping, Emma gently leaned on Azelio's chest, smelling the strong masculine aura of Azelio's body, and couldn't help but be fascinated, thinking that this solid chest would become her strongest support, and her heart was filled with a strong feeling of happiness...... Yes, when we first met, I was already deeply attracted to him - in fact, I had fallen in love with this heroic man from the first time I saw him...... In the future, I will love him well -- love this man who was born for war, build a happy harbor for him, let his wandering life get a home to live in, and whenever he comes back from the battlefield of birth and death, he can get spiritual comfort and soul rest from this home, and wash away his fatigue and wounds......

At this time, the clarion call for Alex's counterattack had sounded, and a fierce battle immediately began...... On this dangerous battlefield, the flower of love belonging to Azeglio is blooming happily and beautifully in the midst of blood and fire......

※※※

In the torrential rain like a torrent, our army's 100,000 troops attacked from the north city gate, swooped down along the retreat route of Eden's army, and quickly approached the enemy's back.

After our army's 3,000 archers used a round of sharp arrows to disrupt the enemy's defense, the 20,000 "Red Storm" magic cavalry led by Hugh Belmont first stood out ahead, and due to the excessive speed of the march, they actually opened a considerable distance from the large army, but fearlessly went deep alone, directly attacking the enemy's Chinese army - the "Red Storm" first came into contact with the enemy and opened the curtain of a tragic battle!

Gremio, who had become taciturn due to his natural stuttering, also faithfully carried out my tactical intentions - the 50,000 light cavalry under his command attacked the enemy's flanks in two directions, and formed three sharp knives with Xiu's magic cavalry to break through the enemy's phalanx!

The enemy army, because of the previous attack by the Azelio light cavalry, thought that the rear road had been blocked, and the soldiers had no intention of fighting, but now they were attacked from behind by the army, and they were even more panicked, although the Prince of Selivia personally supervised the battle, it was difficult to clean up the situation for a while.

I saw that under the incomparable sharpness of the "Red Storm", the infantry of the enemy's Chinese army fell in rows, like dominoes that had been pushed, and the hair-breaking long knives made of magic crystals by the red cavalry were constantly slaughtered, cut, and split, and countless broken arms and stumps were thrown away, and although Prince Selivia wanted to organize heavy cavalry and light cavalry to counterattack, due to the squeezing of his own routed soldiers, the two wings were suppressed by Gremio's light cavalry, and they could not open the gap at all, but crashed into a ball...... The scene of soldiers trampling each other was extremely cruel and horrific...... As time passed, the wounds of the enemy's bleeding continued to expand......

On the battlefield, the strong blood was diluted by the rain and washed into a light red stream, and the heavy smell of blood was also blown into a faint taste by the strong wind - what should have been a miserable world on earth, under the power of nature, also lost its original heavy and tragic color, leaving only a faint sadness......

As time went on, the death toll of Eden's army increased, but because the light cavalry on both flanks was also affected by the enemy's chaos, it was impossible to achieve a complete breakthrough, but instead created a gap for the enemy - Eden finally organized the light cavalry and heavy cavalry and began to carry out an effective counterattack, and the two armies formed a tug-of-war for a while.

At this time, the wind and rain suddenly converged, the sky was thinning clouds, and the sunlight began to project through the gaps in the clouds, illuminating the battlefield that had been baptized by blood.

At the same time, I waved my hand and shouted: "'Cyan Streamer', 'Yellow Dragon's Ear', follow me!" ”

After speaking, the thunder department rode like lightning, like a white beam of light straight into the enemy phalanx, Dai Yisi followed me closely, the "Bow of the Moon God" in his hand was full, and the black arrows burst into flames, opening the way for me - a bow and ten arrows, like rain, one arrow killed at least two people, terrifying!

The "Cyan Streamer" and the "Yellow Dragon's Ear", which have been leisurely watching since the beginning of the war, were all put into battle under my orders, and the balance of power that was barely maintained was completely broken, and the situation that Prince Eden of Selivia had worked hard to clean up with countless sacrifices fell into chaos again, and the 300,000 army, which originally had an absolute advantage in numbers, was forced to divide troops to fight because the terrain of the narrow Yangtze River Delta was not conducive to the battle of the army, and was forced to divide the troops to fight because of the strong suppression of the empire's concentrated superior forces, and some soldiers and horses were blocked from the battlefield. Unable to effectively engage in the battle in the chaos of their own side, they were completely powerless, and could only watch their allies fall one after another in front of them, and finally spread to the whole army due to partial defeats, dragging down the entire battle situation and becoming out of control!

The "Cyan Streamer" and the "Yellow Dragon's Ear" were put into the battlefield at the most critical moment -- these soldiers with the strongest individual combat ability under my command are like eagles and falcons and hungry tigers, and they will all exert their strength to come out, and they are unstoppable and invincible! Under the leadership of Drinker and Cassta, one by one, they bravely took the lead, their claws and swords were sharpened, and they ran rampant in the enemy formation, destroying the enemy like cutting tofu, and once again played the role of a human meat mixer, killing the corpses of the enemy soldiers all over the field and a mess - the Eden army finally fell into endless despair......

Seeing that the defeat of the enemy army has become inevitable and the victory of our army is within reach, an accident has happened at this time!

※※※

At this time, the light cavalry on the right flank of our army suddenly suffered an unexpected and serious blow, and the rout was imminent!

I saw a cavalry of about 50,000 people suddenly slaughtered out of the hilly road on the right side, cut into the right flank of our army, and under the sudden defense, a gap was torn open by the enemy, and for a time it was a heavy casualty!

But seeing the first person with purple hair and purple eyes, a black horse in gold armor, the purple blade in his hand blocked and slashed, slashed and slashed, and led the division to cut in, brave and invincible!

"Sword of the Earth - Carlos!" I snorted coldly, but my heart was shocked: Carlos appeared here and now! It shows that he has understood my mind and knows that I will chase and annihilate Eden's army, so he retreated openly and secretly, and personally led a light horse to gallop around the city from the east to the north, and finally let him arrive at the critical moment, saving Eden's life and avoiding the crisis of the destruction of Eden's army!

On the other hand, Eden's army, after the appearance of the rescuers, immediately boosted its morale, and even allowed Eden to take the opportunity to change the declining situation and reorganize the soldiers to carry out a fierce counterattack, so that our army suffered serious losses and was on the verge of rout.

Carlos - Are you my destiny? Every time it stands in my way...... If so, I'll use my hands to eradicate the Destiny Nightmare today! Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, pointed my finger in the direction of Carlos, and said to Deys Isabelle beside me: "Belle, do you have the confidence to take the head of the enemy commander between a hundred zhang?" ”

Dai Yisi shook her head and said: "The 'Sigh of the Moon Goddess' cannot kill the non-kings of the human world, this is the oath made by the Moon Goddess Natasha to the gods before her death, unless the master is in danger...... However, ordinary arrows could not break through the armor of the artifact in the hands of the enemy commander at such a distance, not to mention that he had an iron armor guard by his side, and it was difficult to succeed......"

I nodded, but my heart was full of sorrow: it seems that the defeat of our army is decided......

Just as I was thinking this, the tide of battle changed dramatically - I saw a strange commotion in Carlos's rearguard, and another Imperial light cavalry of about 4,000 men went around the back of Carlos's army and launched a fierce attack. This kind of fierce and fearless style of fighting, even if it is as strong as the Carlos army, it can't help but feel cold in the bottom of his heart, and he is full of fear, plus he thinks that he has been cut off from retreating, and he is frightened, and the offensive is actually suffocated!

"It's Azelio!" Drinker exclaimed, first recognizing the commander of the Imperial Light Cavalry.

"Azelio is truly loyal, brave, and wise!" I sighed.

At this time, Gremio had seized this golden opportunity, and quickly reorganized the light cavalry on the right flank, which was facing defeat, to make up for the gap that had been opened, to block the route of the meeting of the two armies of Carlos and Eden, and to form an encirclement of Carlos with Azelio's troops.

But Carlos did not panic, and divided half of the cavalry to force Azerio's 4,000 cavalry to the corner of the hill on the right, and then cannibalized the strange army that harassed from behind. Knowing that he could not resist the advance of Carlos's army with his meager forces, Azelio ordered his subordinates to storm a point of the enemy's army, but suddenly retreated to the right and rear, Carlos could not catch up, so he had to let him escape, but also achieved the goal of expelling Azelio from the battlefield. Azeglio was forced to withdraw from the battlefield, knowing that he could no longer control the tide of the battle, so he had to join up with our army and retreat to the rear of our army to regroup.

After avoiding worries, Carlos concentrated his forces to attack the weak right flank of our army, Gremio was powerless to resist, and the chaos sprouted again, and once again a gap was torn open by Carlos's army, and the situation of our army turned safe!

After making an estimate of the battle situation, I immediately ordered the cavalry on the left flank to reverse in a counterclockwise direction, and the two divisions of "Streamer" and "Yellow Dragon" broke forward to stop the momentum of the Eden's army, and then ordered Hugh Belmont's "Red Storm" to move diagonally to the right flank at high speed, cut into the gap of the light cavalry on the right flank, and with the cooperation of the Gremio light cavalry, fiercely cut into the enemy cavalry!

I instigated the thunder department, instantly narrowed the distance of a hundred zhang, surpassed the gap in the magic armor cavalry like lightning, directly faced Carlos, and then swung the green steel long sword in my hand, and slashed at Carlos!

Carlos couldn't imagine that I would be in danger with the body of an emperor, and so neatly, without saying a word, he struck a sword at him, his mind was shaking, and he was already unable to avoid it, and he also believed that he had an artifact to protect himself, and he was not afraid of my ordinary Qingfeng sword, so he swung his sword to block - the "Sword of the Earth" guarded all the vital parts in front of him impenetrable, and there were no gaps to take advantage of, and the dark purple sword was flourishing!

However, although my "unnamed" has been destroyed, and the only sword I hold in my hand is a good quality Qingfeng sword, which cannot be compared with the artifact-level "Earth Sword" at all, but at this time, it doesn't matter if I have a sword in my hand or not--swing a sword with my hand, the power will skyrocket more than a hundredfold! But seeing that the blade of the blue steel sword instantly turned into a blazing white like the sun, Carlos almost didn't dare to look at it; The scorching flame swirled around the sword, blowing the armor on Carlos's body with a crisp sound, and countless tiny grooves appeared as if they had been hit by a heavy object! The moment it touched the "Sword of the Earth", after the piercing sound, a sword aura that could break through the clouds and destroy decay erupted with the sword, surging towards Carlos!

At this time, Carlos was just trying his best to support it with all his strength, but he wanted to resist my terrifying sword qi with an artifact, but in the face of my vast strength, Carlos's majestic body was as fragile as grass in the wind and rain - at this time, Carlos's face was bruised, and his clenched lips were already overflowing with blood......

The mortal-grade Qingfeng Sword did not give in to the artifact-level "Earth Sword", which made Carlos's hope of breaking the Qingfeng Sword with the divine sword frustrated, and under the pressure of my domineering sword qi, the Qingfeng Sword pressed forward inch by inch, Carlos's right elbow was folded outward, and his arm was constantly bent inward, knowing that it was difficult to defeat with one arm, he hurriedly held the sword with both hands to resist my extremely powerful blow!

However, Carlos, who had super arm strength, couldn't help but tremble violently with his arms at this time, his face was gray, and cold sweat was dripping, but although he was facing the most dangerous situation, he was still not afraid.

"I'm invincible—huh!" I suddenly snapped, and the triple sword qi continued to spur out—one stronger than the other, and one sharper than the other! I saw that cracks suddenly appeared on the sword body of the "Sword of the Earth" - Carlos finally changed color!

Because it is absolutely impossible for an artifact-level famous sword to be damaged by a mortal sword, but this impossible thing has happened, so Carlos can't change his color, and finally understands that his life is almost over......

At this time, although the Qingfeng Sword failed to break the "Sword of the Earth", the terrifying sword qi suddenly penetrated the "Sword of the Earth" and stabbed Carlos in the chest! Carlos suddenly felt something, his body was slightly off, and he avoided the blow of the sword qi to the chest, but he was still scratched on the chest by the sword qi - I saw that the armor on Carlos's chest was broken, and the gold armor forged by the alloy could not block the invasion of the sword qi, and a three-inch hole was broken by the sword qi, and Carlos also coughed out a mouthful of blood from his mouth at the same time - he was already injured!

After hemoptysis, Carlos's face returned to a calm tone, a faint smile hung on the corner of his bloody mouth, but there was a look of loneliness and relief in his dark purple eyes - he nodded at me, his eyes suddenly became extremely soft and clear, and he actually smiled and died!

I felt sad in my heart, but I didn't hesitate to finish this blow - but the blade of the Qingfeng Sword in my hand suddenly shattered inch by inch at this moment!

I sighed secretly, knowing that the Blue Edge Sword was always mortal, but it was not broken by the "Sword of the Earth", but because it could not withstand my strength, it was broken - I threw away the sword handle, then turned my fingers into a sword, condensed a sword technique, and poked at Carlos again!

But Carlos's twelve guards had already arrived at the moment when my sword broke, blocking Carlos behind him, and at the same time waving their long knives and shouting at me on their horses!

I smiled coldly, waved my right arm, and swept my palm like a knife - the six broadswords in close range were disconnected! Then with his middle finger and index finger, he drew another graceful arc in the air, and the flame stream and sharp sword qi erupted from his fingertips at the same time, with the slightest sound of breaking wind, cutting the bodies of several iron guards into two halves that burned violently!

In the midst of Carlos's cry of grief, my arms were bent and stretched out again, and Carlos's twelve guards became lifeless stumps and burned with the fire of death on the battlefield!

However, by this time Carlos had retreated into the cavalry phalanx, and I knew that I could not catch up, so I rode back into the "Red Storm". Knowing that his boss was safe, the "Red Storm" and the Carlos Army immediately engaged in a fierce confrontation.

Because the attack power of the "Red Storm" was too strong, it was still more powerful than the heavy cavalry, the speed of movement was as fast as a whirlwind, and the agility and mobility were not inferior to that of the light cavalry, so Carlos had no choice but to slightly fall back the cavalry defense line, and then swerve in a clockwise direction to join up with the Eden army, trying to combine the strength of the two armies to form a numerical advantage.

I know that it will be difficult to stop the two armies from converging, and that once the two armies meet, and with Carlos' ability to unite the coalition forces, numerical superiority will turn into victory - but my purpose has been achieved!

I took advantage of the time when the two armies met to arrange the "Red Storm", "Cyan Streamer", and "Yellow Dragon's Ear" in front of the formation, forming an iron wall; The light cavalry was redeployed on both flanks and maneuvered - when everything was ready, I smiled in the direction of Carlos's army and said, "Marshal Carlos, there will be a time later!" Then he led the army to fight and retreat, and slowly left......

Although Carlos knew that I had the idea of retreating, he thought that he would not be able to break through the heavy cavalry of our army, and he would not be able to leave our army behind, plus the Eden army suffered heavy casualties, and he had no intention of fighting at all, but he just wanted to live safely, and his main goal of preserving the strength of his allies and avoiding annihilation by the Imperial army had also been achieved, and now such a result was not too bad, so he did not plan to pursue, but instead collected his troops and watched our army go.

After I led my army to leave the battlefield, I immediately returned to the eastern capital.

In this battle, although I failed to achieve the goal of annihilating Eden's army, I also destroyed more than 100,000 enemies, plus the number of soldiers lost in Eden's siege - half of Eden's soldiers and horses have been buried forever outside the eastern capital of the north city, so it can be said that I came with a longing for victory, and I reaped a crushing defeat and left in fear; However, our side only lost 30,000 troops, and together with the previous losses, the total number was about 50,000, and the ratio to the enemy's losses was 1:3, which could be regarded as a brilliant victory -- the "Siege of the Eastern Capital" came to an end with satisfactory results.

※※※

The next day, I sent people to inspect the camps and trenches left behind by the Carlos army, but the results of the soldiers' survey made me and the generals terrified, broke out in a cold sweat, and were indescribably afraid.

It turned out that Carlos really planned to dig a tunnel to attack the Eastern Capital, and the tunnel project was almost completed - there were three tunnels, but there were as many as nine exits, and one of the exits was actually in the East Palace! If the armies of Liberalan and Memphis could not quickly attack the vital places of the two countries, and suppress Constantineburg and Haynes in time, so that Aruton and Ettiria would have a strong enough sense of crisis to order the two armies to return to their divisions to save them; If Carlos refuses to obey the edict and insists on holding out for a few more days, resolutely pursuing his established strategy and tactics, and carrying out the siege strategy to the end, then the development of the situation will go in a diametrically opposite direction! There will be no future for the empire, and the history of the Saint-Lun Continent will be rewritten...... If...... Thankfully, there are no ifs!

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but shudder, and invariably screamed in their hearts: It's dangerous!

※※※

After the end of the war in the Eastern Capital, I handed over the Eastern Gamont to the magistrates, and the military affairs were included in the defense scope of the Eastern Army, and the commander of the Eastern Capital Army, Azelio, the commander of the "Red Storm", Hugh Belmont, and the commander of the "Cyan Streamer", Derink Ambrose, were awarded the rank of general, and Gremio, Cassta, Galenhuadu, and Shui Ruoxing were also promoted to the first rank at the same time in recognition of their outstanding military achievements.

When the resilient Azelio came to me with a nervous Emma, the face of the world-famous imperial commander showed a rare shyness for the first time, and I gladly expressed my blessings and said that I would personally officiate their wedding when I returned to the imperial capital.

Emma stayed for a long time without reacting, and it seemed that only now did she realize that her future husband was not an ordinary Imperial cavalry officer, but an imperial general who was given a seat in front of the palace and was in charge alone. ”

On December 30th, the tenth day after the end of the Crisis of the Eastern Capital, I began to return west with my division, leaving Gurelio and the 200,000 troops sent from the Eastern Legion to defend the Eastern Capital, while the rest of the people returned to the Imperial Capital with me, including the Night Priest of the Jialan Temple, Purple Bell and Shaye, who were escorted on the road by vampires. Although I was already at this time, I did not return to the imperial capital until the end of January of the following year.
