Chapter 237: The Battle to the Death in the Imperial Capital (1)

This is the third snow of the year in the imperial capital. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Compared to previous years, the frequency of snow has decreased, but each one is a goose feather, and it is piled up about half a person high, causing a lot of inconvenience to the traffic in the city.

However, this is no catastrophic news for the people of the imperial capital - the mysterious disappearance of the Fifth Army of the Empire, the rout of all the troops on the front line, the brutal murder of the ministers and nobles of the imperial palace, and the beloved queen being bewitched and taken away. In addition, there have been rumors in the city that the prime minister has not been able to receive a reply from the ravens sent by the [Three Sons Fortress], and everyone has speculated whether the [Peerless Wise General] and the [Earth Spirit God of War] have all been defeated and fallen by the King of the Eternal Night. The vast Imperial Capital has been updated with all kinds of terrifying and sensational news, and now the only thing that can bring them comfort is the last barrier stationed in the Imperial Capital, Goyalev, and the First Army of the Empire led by him, which is much more reassuring than his stationing at the Iron Gate.

"General Goyalev, are you going to inspect the troops again today?"

“aye。”

"Then you have to keep warm, I don't know when the snow will stop today...... Oh yes, if you don't dislike it, come to my house for dinner when you pass by here in the evening, right? Our family will stew a lot of Angelica mutton soup tonight, and the best Mlo tea is guaranteed to be of great benefit to your body! ”

"Haha......" Goyarev laughed heartily and smashed his fist on his chest, "I appreciate the kindness, but don't look at my age, the body of the imperial general is not as fragile as you think!" ”

"Hehe...... the middle-aged man was also busy nodding yes, "Of course General Goyalev's strength is not said!" But we still hope you can come to our house, the children have always admired you and want to hear about your heroic deeds! Our two children......"

The two exchanged pleasantries under the heavy snow for about ten minutes, and Goyalev finally smiled and declined the invitation of the residents, and walked towards the eastern city wall with Hu Zun.

He was aware of the concerns of the residents...... There are too many rumors spread in the imperial capital. Everyone is eager to learn from him about the real reality.

But...... Do you really want to tell them?

That would only lead to more despair.

The Three Sons Fortress has indeed fallen. It's hard to imagine that the Imperial Army, a fortress that had never been breached, guarded by a peerless general and the Earth Spirit God of War, could become the palm of Rainer Didos overnight, and it would be unimaginable if no one infiltrated from within......

But even so...... Defeat Abigail? In Goyalev's impression, under the seal of the [Earth Spirit Demon Pupil], there are only a handful of men in the entire empire who can compete with Abigail with swordsmanship alone - and the [Undefeated Swordsman] Rolex Chapman is among them. But the strange thing is that Avery is unwilling to tell Goyalev more information, just let him guard the imperial capital with peace of mind.

Now the information he has in his hands is very confusing. But based on his years of experience, Avery must have something to hide from him, including rejecting his offer to guard the Iron Gate. He had had a deep conversation with Avery, and he didn't think the young prime minister was a man who would make stupid decisions in line with public opinion...... Coupled with the scene he showed when he met the queen that day, he had a feeling of being kept in the dark - and there was no imperial capital of the Herman royal family, what the hell was he...... Who should fight for? [Earth Spirit God of War] [Undefeated Sword Hero] [Golden Lion] [Dongzhao Divine General], these are all the best pillars of the empire, but now he has become a barrier to the empire again because of his old age and declining strength, Goyalev suddenly felt the weight on his shoulders.

Suddenly aware of the aura that was diffusing around him, Goyalev jerked his head up and drew the sword at his waist, but the flash of lightning had knocked out all four of his subordinates.

Flashing out of the electric light were the four battle queens of the firmament, Xuanyi, Takimeng, and Yingyu, who happened to line up in the four corners of a square, surrounding Goyalev in the middle.

"It's you ...... again" In the face of the threat of the war concubines, Goyalev did not have the slightest fear, he tightly held the long sword in his hand, and put on a fighting posture, "Assassinate me in the imperial capital of tens of thousands of imperial troops...... I admire your courage - but can you really take me down! ”

"General Goyalev...... We're not here to assassinate you," the firmament didn't pull out the imperial weapon from his waist to prove that he wasn't hostile, "I just hope you'll come with us, Her Majesty wants to tell you the whole truth." ”

After hearing the firmament's argument, Goyalev laid down his weapon - but his sword was not sheathed, "It's fine." I also have something to ask Your Majesty. ”

"I thought he was a stubborn old man, but he was very sensible, it's really unexpected......" Xuanyi breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed her tense nerves, but suddenly suffered from Goyalev's cold eyes.

"You, go and move my men to safety—I don't want to see them freeze to death in the snow when I get back."

"Hey...... Why me! ”

"Stop talking nonsense and get to work!"

Takimeng kicked hard in the back of Xuanyi's ass, "Of course, the old man can tell at a glance which of us has the lowest status!" ”

Goyalev was led to a dilapidated hut in the sky, and Queen Gavina gradually appeared in the shadows.

"Your Majesty."

Goyarev bowed slightly to Galvina but did not immediately kneel. But Gavina didn't care, and said, "General Goyalev...... Thank you for making the right choice. With that, she beckoned several of her other subordinates to come from the room.

"Deldin? Egger? You weren't ...... in the Three Sons Fortress"

"General Goyalev," the two officers bowed to Goyalev. Goyalev had served as a senior instructor at the Imperial Military Academy when he was young, and Deldin and Egger were his students at that time, and the relationship between the three was very deep, and they were assigned to different units several times.

"As you can see, we did break through the [Three Sons Fortress], but things are not as you think, because the process is very long, so I will simply tell you."

With the cooperation of Deldin and Egger, Gavina recounted the attack on the fortress of the three sons, and recounted the previous experience in general, even if she was as calm as Goyalev, she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat after hearing the news. But he was in no hurry to show it.

"According to the character of Your Majesty and the two of you, I shouldn't have doubted it—"

Goyalev glanced at the room inside, where Reina had not yet shown up to avoid suspicion.

"But if according to Avery, if he can bewitch the Queen's mind, he will be able to control you."

"Alas, my lord, I just said that this guy is not so easy to convince......"

Takimu sighed and came in from the room on the other side, "Now, old man, I'll show you something now, but if you think this thing is also an illusion, I can't help it." ”

Takimu liberated the [Star Dance Thousand Nights 3000 Style] and held down his right eye, which continuously showed Goyalev the holographic projections of the [Steel Gate] and the [Imperial Grand Duke], the projections were all dense sea of walking corpses, their scarlet eyes were particularly eye-catching, and finally showed a projection of clothes all over the ground.

"Of course...... You can send someone to make sure that you'll know when the time comes—but then I don't know if more people will be harmed by your hesitation. Takimu turned off the mirrors, and then stood with his waist crossed, quietly accompanying the queen and waiting for Goyarev's statement.

Goyarev closed his eyes and pondered—and everyone knew in their hearts that the decisions he made next would have an impact on the future of the entire empire. (To be continued.) )
