CH.17 The Imperial Line
This remote town is located on the southern border of the Albanian Empire, bordering the fallen kingdom of Surfara, as the first line of defense of the imperial army against the invasion of demons, it is just between two mountain terrains, only about a few kilometers wide open terrain, in just a few days, the empire has gathered almost all the airships and warships in the country, airlifted a large amount of stone here, and built a huge and strong high wall at the entrance of the valley.
The defenders of the empire were stationed behind the walls, ready to defend themselves against the invasion of the demons. At the same time, the Empire's most elite warships were also stationed above the high walls, and as the flagship of the command center, the battleship Night Owl, which was completely black, was in the center of the entire fleet, and on Cambridge, Saulth was the commander-in-chief of the guard.
"General Solth, the Empire's emissary has arrived. The soldier reported to him on the bridge.
"yes, you've really sent the troublesome guy!" he muttered, "let her come up." ”
"Yes!"
The hatch of the bridge slowly opened, and Principal Bislizi, who looked like a young girl, walked into the bridge.
"Rude, are you the commander-in-chief of this guard?" Bislizi stepped forward slowly, saluting Solth politely.
"Miss Bislizi, the archmage, looks younger than rumored. ”
"There, there, it's all an illusion of magic, and I'm just a frail old guy. ”
"Yes, then you can stay in the rear, the monsters are no match for our Imperial Army, so we don't need any assistance from a great magician. ”
"Well, that's great, I'll stay in the rear and wait for your good news, and I hope that your defeat at Valency won't happen again. Bisrizi said with a smile.
"You... Her words obviously touched Saulth's pain, due to the previous failure to defend the fortress, the upper echelons of the empire have already complained about it, and this time a large number of elite combat forces of the empire have been gathered, just to be able to get rid of the shame. Therefore, no matter what, he has to show the results this time, and this is his last chance.
"It's rude, I'll quit first. Beslizi saluted again, and walked slowly out of the bridge.
After she left, Thor slammed his angry fist on the table in front of him, "Send me the order to keep an eye on this woman, don't let her go to the front line, understand?"
"But the general, she's a direct commissioner of the Empire... ”
"Shut up! Listen to me here! As long as I show my achievements! The guys at the top won't pursue anything more! What a great magician or something! No need!"
"Understood! I'm going to send someone to carry out your orders. With that, the assistant soldiers quickly left the bridge.
By the time Bislizi left the Night Stalker, Shilos had been waiting outside for a long time. As soon as the airship carrying her landed on the ground, Shiros hurried up to meet her.
"Your Excellency the Headmaster, that general didn't embarrass you. ”
"It's okay, after all, I'm sent by the Empire, and he won't do anything to me. ”
"And what do you think are the odds of winning this battle?"
"Relying on the powerful military power of the Empire, it shouldn't be a problem to resist the first few waves of offensives, but that man named Thor is just a mediocre talent, emotional and easy to be picked on, such a guy as the supreme commander of the defenders can only say that the guys in the upper echelons of the empire have water in their heads, right?"
"That... Shilos was about to say something, when he suddenly found himself surrounded by a group of Imperial soldiers.
"What are you doing here?"
"I'm sorry, the general has an order! Please go to the rear of the battlefield to rest. ”
"What do you mean, are you going to put us under house arrest?" Shiros was visibly angry, but Bislizi grabbed her.
"Okay, we follow the general's arrangement, please take us there. ”
"Thank you for your understanding, please go this way. ”
Seeing that the principal had no intention of resisting, Shilos could only suppress his anger and follow the other party.
The soldiers of the garrison arranged the two in a homestay in the town, and sent four or five soldiers on duty at the same time.
"That bastard!!!" was locked in the room, and Shilos kicked the coffee table in front of him with an angry kick. "How dare you treat us like this! If it weren't for the protection of those students, the headmaster wouldn't have worked for your empire!"
"Well, Mr. Shiros, you calm down first. ”
"How calm can I be, you said it, that guy named Thor is not capable of commanding the Imperial Army!
"It's okay, I'm not going to let that happen. ”
"But now that you're under house arrest, no matter how capable you are... Bislizi put his finger to her mouth.
"Do you know why I chose to keep you with me among so many teachers?"
"This... Are you ... ”
"That's right, Mr. Shilos, you're so smart, you should know what I mean. ”
Just as the two were talking, there was a sudden loud noise from the front line.
"Looks like the battle has begun. Bislizi walked to the window, and smoke was already rising in the direction of the wall......
