Chapter XXVII
@>?Compared with the precarious western 'gate', the battle situation in the east of Birti City is more one-sided.
Since the army of the Duchy of Borot was mainly deployed on the side of Henry Crawford, Albert and the others who defended the east 'gate' had only the power to parry and had no ability to fight back. No one would have thought that the army of the Kingdom of Kentan could go around the back of the city of Birti to outflank it. What is even more incredible is that the commander who led this army turned out to be the Grand Duke of the Kingdom of Kentan.
The matter is actually very clear and clear at this point.The news of the illness of the so-called son of the Grand Duke and all other rumors are actually false.All of them are suspicious tactics.In order to make this fake show 'forced' true.The Grand Duke specially did not tell General Raeder that he would go to Bildhi City to seek peace in a planned way.It was also a wonderful method that he came up with on his own whim.He asked the powerful dwarven alchemist to prepare the materials for transmission.He was at his disposal anytime and anywhere.His 'chest' was wearing a dwarven specialThe 'door' is a vibrator for long-distance communication, which is small, but it can accurately convey the desired message between two people who have not met each other according to a prior agreement.
Raeder's ability to capture Empress Isabella was a completely unintentional attempt to 'insert' the willows, and he was only going to investigate the situation in the city of Bildti and whether the conflict between the minister Iros and the new Duke of Borot was as rumored to be, but he unexpectedly used his broad shoulders, resolute dancing posture, and magnetic voice to easily capture the depressed queen.
As for the explosion of the Birthi Church, it was completely the choice of the dwarven alchemist, who combined various telesensing technologies to soon discover that there was a large amount of cold crystal under the church, and this raw material could greatly facilitate and enhance his teleportation skills.
When the Duke of Kentan led his troops to the mouth of Mandun, he learned that Raeder had already gone to Birti City, and after knowing the general's intentions, he only smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just right for us to use this time to carry out the silent teleportation work."
The Grand Duke brought with him a lot of new things, all of which were the only ingenious machines on the continent of Bodie that had taken decades of construction by dwarven craftsmen.
Among them are giant siege cannons that can be launched by dozens of people's hand-cranks, and there are scintillators that can teleport hundreds of people to any designated location within a radius of dozens of miles with just a few drops of special mechanical oil. The spirits are connected through the earth, and they consume their own essence power, chanting spells for several minutes to complete the process, and after that, they must wait for months before they can continue to use it.
With the help of this instrument, the soldiers of Kentan appeared unconsciously to the east of the city of Birti, and their giant siege artillery was safely transferred through the flickering machine.
Most of the threats faced by Albert and the others came from these powerful weapons. The ingenious 'obscene' technique that was despised by humans played a role in defeating a hundred enemies at this time. The cannonballs were no less 'colorful' than when the Clement Pope used the relics of the prophet Cyril to drive away the Desserts. The walls of the city of Birthi were not very tall in the first place, and because of its disrepair, it could not withstand such a fierce bombardment.
All the commanders on Xiao A's side could not even climb the castle tower, because that would be in danger of their lives, so they had to gather in a private house not far from the east 'gate' to discuss countermeasures and follow-up measures with each other.
The walls were being thinner and thinner, and they could be broken through at any moment, and Albert hadn't even been able to discuss it.
Kagan was the only one who was a little excited, and he was a lovely man, because the siege apparatus on the other side was made by his own people, so he was very proud and happy, and if it weren't for everyone's 'gloomy' faces, he would probably have to hum a little tune.
"We can't go on like this. We're going to have to give up the city of Birti." Albert said helplessly.
Taryn agreed with him, but General Iros still had something to say: "Of course it's okay to abandon the city and leave, but how can the emperor 'make a deal' on his side?
When Albert heard this, he immediately frowned, and when he saw this, he replied with a smile: "The general is a big red man next to the emperor, and this is clear to the whole of Tamborans. You can stay here, and then you can be at the disposal of Kentan, you can be your hero, and you can be at home with death or tortured to death under the dark dungeon, so that you can be worthy of the grace of His Majesty the Emperor."
Iros stroked his beard and sighed, "I hate this Duke of Kentan, who is so scheming. Iros has been diligent for most of my life, but I have always encountered unsatisfactory things.
Neither Talen nor Albert took the initiative.
Seeing that there was no one to understand, the bearded general had no choice but to continue: "That Cortesian Neo can be our shield, Duke, you and I are now tied to the same ship.
"What do you say?" Albert and Tarun had already communicated with each other through eyebrow-eyebrow exchanges, and he was deliberately trying to let Iros speak for himself.
"Your Excellency, that Neo was sent by Pope Pisius of the Cortesian Sect to support you in your attack on Kentan, and he did the opposite, not only did he not do his best, but took refuge in the other party. This is a godsend. We can put all the blame on him. We can also appropriately put some trivial responsibilities on her head, such as what kind of government decree is not working, what kind of city defense is unfavorable, and even at a critical moment, we can also 'insert' a notoriety for inciting her subjects to rebel against our army, so that you and I can be sure that nothing goes wrong."
Ilos had just arrived, unaware that Albert and Claudia had ever been in a romance, and as soon as he had said this, he heard a snort from the young duke's nose that could only be interpreted as contempt.
The bearded general went further: "Your Excellency, you are a young man who has just ascended to the throne, and you probably disdain to do such a thing. It doesn't matter, I can take this responsibility on my own head, as long as I get your acquiescence, that renegade Neo will definitely make His Majesty the Emperor angry, and Count Destini 'Lady' is just a firewood to strengthen the Emperor's anger."
Tarun couldn't bear it anymore at this point, and he said indignantly, "The general, the 'female' count, is the most pitiful 'female' child in this whole matter, how can you implicate her too?
Iros smiled, combing his beard from top to bottom with the back of his hand, and he said with bad intentions, "Your Excellency, this military advisor of yours is probably also one of the thieves."
"What did you say?" Albert didn't get it for a while.
"You can ask for yourself what kind of relationship the 'female' Count has with him, and he, as your most trusted commander of the army, secretly wants to be the lord of the city of Birti."
"What." Albert couldn't believe his ears, he looked General Iros from head to toe, and then fixed his eyes on his advisor's eyes, trying to find a clue in them.
Tarun hadn't expected Iros to come with such a move, and he seemed a little lost, and he didn't know how to explain it for a moment.
Albert mocked with a penetrating tone, "So it is, so it is." Fat, the water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, very good, very good, you see that I have no hope, so you take the initiative to go into battle, it is really good, tell me about it, when can I come and congratulate you on becoming the earl of Destini, oh, no, I should call you 'you'. You'."
Tarun was at a loss for words, but he still tried to explain: "Claudia and I do have a mutual affection, but it hasn't developed to the point where you think. she sees me more as a kind of dependence, as a kind of 'spirit' sustenance, her father died tragically in the earthquake, and her mentor, Bishop Mirière, has unfortunately died.
"Yes, yes," Albert applauded. So on top of the ball, you have become the male protagonist with whom she dances the most, and my whole army of Borot has become your illustrious background, making you her strongest arm.
Seeing that the contradiction between the two is about to erupt, who can untie this knot, and listen to the next time slowly decompose.
