Chapter 10: Sunset in the Eastern Capital

I saw that under the originally dark sky, countless magic flares continued to fire upwards, one after another, reflecting the earth into day!

Queens, who led the main army of about 70,000 regular troops, was sitting on horseback anxiously waiting for the good news of the victory of the berserker troops, and when he noticed the strange situation in the sky and knew that the battle situation had changed, he hurriedly ordered a retreat. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

But it's too late!

Thirty thousand Imperial troops emerged from behind the James Army, the momentum was huge, the momentum was like a rainbow, and the earth-shattering shouts made the soldiers of the James Army fearful! Although the Jaescose army had an absolute advantage in numbers, it was significantly weaker than the Imperial army in terms of morale.

At this time, Xiu Belmont's brave posture immediately stepped in front of the army, and the "Shining Dragon" spear with a dazzling cold light was raised into the air, and the first wave of the imperial army's offensive was immediately launched, and the "Orange Sky Fire" troops led by Gasha Ruri took the lead in launching an attack on the enemy!

But seeing countless meteor showers and balls of flame shooting into the sky, falling into James's array like a shower, and then exploding and burning one after another, creating an ugly, smelling charred corpse, the whirling flames are as magnificent as music and dance, but it is a poignant movement of beating death, explaining the unique philosophy of beauty and ugliness!

Immediately afterwards, the elven archers in the "Cyan Streamer" unit led by Drinker shot a round of sharp arrows at the enemy together with the arrow battalion of the regular troops, and the dense black arrows formed a web of death in the sky, further increasing the casualties of the soldiers of James's army, and constantly creating bleeding wounds in the enemy army.

Just as the retreating James soldiers were panicked, frightened, and irrepressibly chaotic, Hugh Belmont suddenly issued an order for an all-out attack, and then grabbed the belly of his horse, set up his spear, and galloped towards the enemy in the sound of the long neighing of his horse!

20,000 "Red Storm" Demon Cavalry rushed in the center, followed closely behind, Drinker led the vampire troops and elven cavalry archers in the "Cyan Streamer" to cover and kill from both wings, with a speed no less than that of the Demon Cavalry, and echoed with the "Red Storm", stepping on the rapid drum beat, launched a frontal assault on the James Army, and also set off a tragic bloody hurricane among the enemy army!

As soon as the two armies clashed, the astonishing strength of the "Red Storm" and the vampire troops was immediately highlighted, whether it was individual combat ability, impact power on the battlefield, or mobile agility, they all reached a near-perfect level!

In terms of numbers, the Imperial army that participated in the frontal assault was only 30,000, less than half of the James army; But in terms of absolute strength, the James Army is much inferior, and the two can be described as very different in strength and strength.

The Jacobite army was almost crushed in one fell swoop, and more than a third of its soldiers were killed by the Imperial army in the face of the sight.

Although more than half of the James army is heavy and light cavalry, in the face of the flexible, strong and ruthless "Red Storm" demon cavalry, there is almost no power to parry, even the heavy armor can not stop the sharpness of the demon cavalry, by the magic cavalry in the hands of the magic crystal made of long knives and axes, even people and horses split in half, the death is simply miserable!

The enemy soldiers were so frightened that they almost lost the will to fight, and shouted in horror: "Red demon! "Throwing away his armor and fleeing to both wings.

These enemy soldiers who had just come out of the "Red Terror" encountered another equally terrible "Black Storm"! The vampire troopers didn't carry any blades, but there was not a single thing on their bodies that they weren't sharp weapons - they were weapons in their own right, and every part of their bodies was causing death for the enemy, turning into bats from time to time, severing the arteries in the necks of the enemy soldiers with their knife-sharp bats and fangs......

The soldier clutching his neck suddenly collapsed after running for a distance, and his throat made a series of "gege" sounds before convulsing and dying, his eyes bulging out and the expression on his face condensed in horror......

Behind these soldiers, there were countless long, criss-crossing bloody paths......

In contrast, the elven warrior's killing action is much more graceful.

When approaching the enemy, they first fired a round of powerful arrows - a series of actions such as loading the arrow, drawing the bow, and firing in one go, which not only endowed archery with a unique spirituality, but also pursued perfection in every detail of the posture, reflecting a highly coordinated posture language, which was pleasing to the eye; The elven arrows played a pleasant sound in the night wind, and finally cut the end of the life of the enemy soldier with a "poof" sound that struck the human body......

When they come into contact with enemy soldiers, they abandon their horses, bows and arrows, withdraw their lightsabers, and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy. But even on the battlefield of flesh and blood, the movements of the elven warriors are not undevoid of elegance, as agile as the wind, as elegant as clouds, and as swift as lightning! Swiftly swinging his sword, shifting erratically, grasping every tiny gap in the crowded enemy bushes, and swaying the brilliant blood rainbow in the sky as if he were dancing in the advance and retreat, but his body was not stained. As if they weren't killing, they were putting on an artistic performance, and the gore was just the paint they were wielding their artistic pencils!

After half an hour of hand-to-hand combat, the number of James' troops had been reduced by more than half, and the Imperial army only paid a small price, but finally allowed James to seize an opportunity to retreat.

When the fighting between the two armies began to ease, James hurriedly led the remaining army of less than 30,000 men and fled in the direction of the city of Eastern Garmont like a lost dog.

Hugh Belmont seems to think that the poor are not retreating, and is not in a hurry to rush to annihilate the remnants of the enemy army, but only to let the Imperial army follow closely behind, and not give James a chance to get rid of the Imperial army.

By this time, the pace of the war was in the hands of Hugh Belmont, and the tide of the war was developing at his predetermined pace.

But at this moment, the commander of the "Red Storm", Xiu Belmont, who was sitting calmly on horseback, suddenly flashed such a thought: What an invincible heroic army in the world, worthy of being the strongest legion and warrior in the empire! If it were all mine......

Immediately, in his mind, he reflected a figure with deep and cold golden pupils, condensation and domineering momentum, and a god-like appearance, and a cold breath arose in his heart for no reason, only to see him exhale lightly, the corners of his mouth squirmed, as if he wanted to say something, but only made a slight sound.

At this time, the soldier standing beside him vaguely heard his commander muttering: "It's so cold, it's ...... day"

"In this fierce battle, Xiu once again showed meticulous and continuous means of using troops and excellent integration ability, allowing each branch of the army to act in unison, giving full play to the combat effectiveness of each soldier, and minimizing his own losses, as His Majesty commented on him: 'meticulous and meticulous'. But the richness of his talent was not confined to the military - whether it was a blessing or a curse for him at the time was not yet a matter of anticipation and correct judgment, and the possibilities were nothing more than conjectures that could not be verified, and the emergence of conclusions had to wait for the more distant future......"

- Vidigal Dortmunwa, "Historical Caprice: The Founding Fathers of the Empire of St. Lun"

The attachment to life and the fear of death made the James army increase the speed of the march to the extreme, and after a panicked rush in the dark night, James finally led the remnants back to the south gate of East Gamont City, which was the fastest result since James led the army.

Just when James thought that he had gotten rid of the Imperial Army and wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, he was shocked to find that countless torches suddenly lit up behind him, and a large number of Imperial soldiers appeared from behind, and the distance between them was close to less than two meters! The Imperial Army actually clung to its tail like a poisonous snake, not giving itself any respite!

Seeing that the crisis was imminent, James could no longer think about anything else, and hurriedly conveyed the order to open the city to the city.

In fact, the Imperial army that appeared at this time was not the Imperial Central Army led by Xiu Belmont, but another 30,000 Imperial soldiers who had been ambushed nearby, led by Galen Huadu and Shui Ruoxing.

When the gates were wide open, the Jacobite army rushed inward, bringing the dreaded Imperial army into the city. When James suddenly understood that he had made the most wrong decision to lure the wolf into the room, he could only beat his chest and pause, crying out in vain.

Galen Huadu and Shui Ruoxing led 30,000 wolf-like imperial soldiers to swarm up from behind, and under the forced breakthrough of 10,000 "Purple Thunder" heavy armored troops, the defenders of the city could not close the city gate again, and let the imperial army commander drive straight in. In the light of the flares cast by the magicians, the Imperial soldiers mercilessly wielded their spears, axes and swords, frantically sniping the soldiers of the James Army, until the corpses of the enemy soldiers in the city were strewn all over the field, and the city of Donggamont became a bloody slaughterhouse......

After entering the city, Shui Ruoxing quickly mobilized the "Blue Nebula" troops and two thousand regular troops to attack from the city steps, draining blood all the way, and the corpse of a defender soldier was thrown under the city, and killed directly on the south city tower, when the bloody head of the city guard was hung high on the south city tower, to welcome the first ray of dawn in the morning, and when it trembled in the autumn wind, the south city gate was officially announced to be easy to guard......

On the other hand, when James, who was chased by Galen's troops, tried to escape from the east, west, and north gates, he found that each gate had already been surrounded from the outside by the Imperial Army with heavy troops, and there was no way to retreat, and there were pursuers behind, and James finally knew that he had reached a desperate situation.

James, who hated the ability to fly to the sky and the ability to escape from the earth, finally had to take 3,000 remnants of soldiers to hide in his lair, the East Palace of the Eastern Capital, and close the palace door to carry out a dying struggle and stubborn resistance. The eastern, western, and northern gates also fell into the hands of the imperial army, and the eastern capital, the East Palace, was also besieged by the imperial army and placed under effective control.

At this time, the Imperial Chinese Army led by Hugh Belmont, the strongest force of the Empire, began to enter the city of Eastern Garmont, indicating that the overall situation of the war in the Eastern Capital had been decided.

After the two armies met, the generals of the army, such as Xiu Belmont, De Link, Galen Huadu, Shui Ruoxing, and Gasha Liuli, were hesitant about whether to immediately attack the East Palace in the eastern capital.

"Yes, there is the man who used to have a deep relationship with His Majesty, representing the unfortunate past of that man like the wind...... Your Majesty's mind is deep and difficult to measure, the so-called heart of heaven is unpredictable, we can't know His Majesty's mind at all, if we act rashly, if we offend the face of heaven, the consequences will be terrible......" Drinker said, deliberately suppressing his voice to make a strange sound, I don't know whether he was sarcastic about the generals, or related to the generals, but there was only a simple sadness in the dimming eyes.

In the end, Gartha Liuli sighed faintly and said, "It's better to wait until Alex enters the city to make a decision, no matter how urgent the matter is, it will not be bad for a moment or three......"

Since Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine has said so, it is difficult for all the generals to express their objections, in fact, everyone is secretly relieved because of the imperial concubine's statement.

The generals, each with their own concerns, waited equally anxiously for His Majesty to enter the city, but their Emperor was late until noon, when Alexander the Great's sturdy figure finally appeared at the southern gate.

Alex rode the pure white majestic "Thunder", accompanied by Vivien, Deyis, and Cassta, and led the "Ears of the Yellow Dragon" and other 20,000 imperial troops, and slowly drove along the southern gate into his new territory in the kneeling of Hugh Belmont and other imperial generals.

Alec turned over and jumped down from the thunder and stood in a strange land, with no trace of the conqueror's joy and triumph on his slightly pale face, but rather a rather solemn look, so that the words of praise that the imperial generals originally wanted to say seemed stuck in their necks, and finally just shouted: "Long live Your Majesty!" ”

Alec, who was silent all the way, only said briefly at this time: "All the soldiers, please get up, thank you for your hard work!" ”

"Alex!" Seeing Alex's figure, Gasha Liuli called out happily, and regardless of everyone's eyes, she threw herself into his arms with an arrow step, expressing her lovesickness unabashedly, but she was still in a hurry.

At this time, the generals also avoided it with great interest, leaving a separate space for His Majesty and his wives to gather.

"Alex, you're gone, and you're emaciated!" Garsha Ruri looked at her man with regret, and her concern was overflowing, but she suddenly said viciously, "You are not allowed to joke with your life in the future!" ”

"Ruri, I'm fine......" Alec hugged the beautiful woman lightly, but there was a lonely smile on his face, "Aren't I living a good life?" It's that my glass has lost weight and grown up......"

"It's okay...... It's okay......" Gartha Ruri muttered, suddenly whimpering in Alex's arms.

Alec gently patted Liuli on the back and comforted: "Liuli is good, don't cry, who bullied you?" Tell the husband and let me stand up for you......"

Gasha Ruri raised her head, the pear blossoms brought rain, but she said angrily: "It's you!" ”

"When did I bully you?" Alec asked, surprised.

"If you hurt yourself, you are bullying me......"

"Liuli, it's ...... that Alice is wrong," Alec said emotionally as he hugged Liuli's delicate body.

"Sister!" After some gentleness, Vivien came over to greet Gartha.

The two sisters reunited, and they had their own private whispers.

When Liuli saw Dai Yisi, she couldn't help but look at the beautiful girl in front of her curiously, and Dai Yisi called sweetly: "Sister Liuli is good!" ”

But Liuli held her little hand affectionately, and while looking at her carefully, she said happily: "What a Peugeot girl, but let Alec earn it!" ”

His Majesty's temporary palace and military decision-making center were located in the Prometheus Hotel, the largest hotel in the city of Dongamont, which was requisitioned.

Immediately after a short break, Alex summoned the generals to discuss the matter.

"What is the current situation in the Eastern Capital?" The Emperor paced the hall with his hands behind his back for a moment before suddenly stopping and asking.

Hugh Belmont replied cautiously: "Your Majesty, except for the Eastern Palace of the Eastern Capital, all other places in Donggamont have been placed under the absolute control of the ministers. At present, the traitor James can only curl up in the East Palace of the Eastern Capital, and only wait for His Majesty's order to take down the East Palace in one fell swoop......"

"May I ask when Your Majesty has decided to attack the East Palace?" Galen also asked cautiously.

Alec bowed his head and was silent for a while before he said, "I want to go to the East Palace!" ”

When Alec's figure appeared in the East Palace of the Eastern Capital, his solemn face carried a trace of sadness like a teenager, and his eyes were like a sea of eyes, and his cold and silent expression made all the generals who followed him feel a heavy depression, and they were silent and did not dare to speak.

I saw him walk straight to the palace gate along the aisle where the soldiers automatically gave way, and then gently pressed the palm of his right hand on the closed heavy vermilion lacquer door, his cold gaze gradually softened, and finally turned into an unfocused astigmatism, and his body became stiff after a sudden tremor, and then maintained this posture, motionless, as if it had weathered into a lifeless fossil.

The soldiers who were anxiously waiting for the order had no choice but to silently accompany their lord, and the whole scene was silent at once, except for the sound of the hunting wind when the autumn wind blew up the clothes, no other sound could be heard, as if even the heavens and the earth were silent, silently mourning for a generation of emperors that his time had passed and the distant past that would never return......

And so it came twilight. The sky is reflected red by the setting sun, and the sky is full of red glow, like a ribbon carefully cut by skillful hands, like satin brocade spread all over the sky. The adult geese and birds are lined up, draped in the glow of the sun, and from time to time they make a clear chirping. The city of Donggamont is also coated with a layer of crimson pigment, like a charming sculpture of a lady, which looks particularly enchanting. Everything seemed so peaceful and tranquil, full of poetry.

However, this should be a beautiful scenery that should be pleasing to the eye, but it was difficult for the imperial soldiers at this time to associate the charm of beauty, but there was a shocking throbbing of this pure red.

"The remnant sun is like blood." These four words suddenly popped out of the mouth of the vampire count, but it made the hearts of the generals jump suddenly, as if a certain string was taut, a little breathless.

Xiu, who had a gloomy face, glanced at Drink, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't make any sound.

When the autumn sun warmly spread on Alex, as if he had completed some kind of ritual of consolation, like a fossil that had suddenly been unsealed, he grabbed the knocker and knocked lightly a few times, the hoarse sound was particularly harsh in the quiet twilight, and then he turned sharply to face the generals.

At this time, the sentimentality of the young man could no longer be seen on his lofty handsome face, only the absolute coldness and domineering spirit remained, and in his gaze that became bright and dark, Alec suddenly burst out two chilling words from his tightly pursed lips: "Break the palace!" ”

A cold and merciless smile snaked from the corners of his beautiful mouth, and the sunset of the land of Donggamont ......
