Chapter 52: Conspiracy

Although the three officers were of the same rank, they were faintly led by the officer named Aristophanes in the middle, plus the second officer agreed, so a consensus was quickly reached.

Ten thousand elite soldiers were encamped in an orderly manner under the command of squad leaders and junior officers, and in a short time tents supported by animal skins and sticks were erected on this vast plain.

Aristophanes stared around at the horse of his own, his heart full of ambition.

With his title as a senior officer, he usually leads an army of 1,000 people at most, and it is impossible for him to have the opportunity to command a legion composed of 10,000 elites.

When the number of people below 1,000 is called the army, when the scale reaches more than 10,000 people, it is called the army, and in peacetime, only the strong people of the 1,000 people, the general of the kingdom is qualified to command.

But His Majesty the King was furious, and under his dictatorship, he was lucky to have the opportunity to lead 10,000 elite veterans who would not die in a hundred battles together with two other high-ranking officers.

Aristophanes glanced at the two colleagues beside him with the afterglow hidden in the mask, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a sneer.

Although he is also a strong man with a hundred enemies, his strength is even stronger, with a full 150 horsepower, even if the other two join forces to attack, he also has the strength to compete with one or two, and retreat at any time.

In this world, no matter what country you are in, you are respected by strength, and as long as you have strength, you are undoubtedly superior.

"As long as I can make a contribution, I will have the opportunity to be rewarded by the temple, and when the time comes, I will break through the limit of strength and reach the realm of 300 horsepower, or even 500 horsepower. ”

Aristophanes steadied the fluctuation in his heart, and ordered loudly to his colleague beside him, the officer who had spoken at the beginning to ask if he would rescue the Third Prince: "Mordnanlos, you are in charge of the preparation of the camp, and check the weapons and rations of all the soldiers, and when the sun rises, I will see a flawless legion!"

Mordenanlos silently glanced at his colleagues in front of him, sighed secretly, turned around without saying a word, rode into the legion, and began to arrange it in an orderly manner.

When the other officer saw Aristophanes' gaze, he immediately bent down in amusement and said flatteringly: "Lord Aristophanes, I am not a fool like Mordnanlos. I have also vaguely heard your name in the royal city, and the Oxor priest of Orpheus is your elder. ”

"Orpheus, even in the entire Peloponnese, is an incomparably revered religion of God, and has great power in the kingdom, and this time to guard the rift of doom, I must obey the arrangement of my lords. ”

Aristophanes showed a satisfied expression on his face, and then said lightly in a condescending tone: "Very good, the credit for this mission naturally belongs to me alone, but as long as it is done, I will not be stingy with your benefits, and I will mention your name in front of His Royal Highness the Second Prince." ”

The officer was stunned for a moment, and said in an incredulous tone: "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, are you ......?"

An unfathomable smile appeared on Aristophanes' face, and just as he was about to say something more, a shrill whistling sound suddenly sounded from the direction of the Asian Gorge.

Hearing the alarm from the scouts, Aristophanes couldn't help but shout: "What's the situation, why did the scouts sound the alarm, all the soldiers immediately pick up your weapons!"

The shrill sirens sounded out out of sight, but they were clearly heard throughout the camp, and all the soldiers did not need to be urged at all, and when they came out of the tents, they were already wearing leather armor and holding weapons, but in fifteen breaths, a regiment was already ready to go across the plain.

When the legions were lined up, a knight appeared from the end of the horizon and came running fast.

Aristophanes hurriedly asked: "What happened, did the monsters in the canyon rush out?" ”

The scout turned over and dismounted, and said quickly in a voice that only a few people around him could hear: "It's His Royal Highness the Third Prince, who led the guards out of the thick fog. ”

Aristophanes was surprised: "What? His Royal Highness the Third Prince, he is not dead!"

The scout couldn't help but bury his head, as if he hadn't heard his superior's words, and continued: "His Royal Highness the Third Prince claims that all the monsters in the canyon have been exterminated by him, and asked us to send horses to meet them. ”

Aristophanes' heart shook: "How is it possible, that third prince of straw bales was able to come out of that Jedi alive, and also claimed to have completed the task of guarding the rift of Doom, this is impossible......"

But then, Aristophanes suddenly had an idea in his heart, and hurriedly asked: "How many people are there in His Royal Highness the Third Prince?" As if sensing that his tone was a little hurried, he said in disguise, "I mean, how many horses we should send to meet the third prince and his warriors." ”

The scout did not doubt him, and said honestly: "There are twenty-three people in total, and His Royal Highness the Third Prince said that their horses have all been lost, so let the Lord send the best fierce horses." ”

"That straw bale prince has only brought out a total of twenty-six people from the city of Telian, but he didn't expect that not only did he come out of the forbidden land unharmed, but also survived so many people, could it be true that what he said...... No, if that's the case, then my plans aren't all shattered!"

Aristophanes' mind flickered, and it took a while before he finally made a decision.

"You lead the way in front, and I will personally lead someone to greet His Royal Highness the Third Prince...... Avery and Mordenanlos come with me. ”

After the order, hundreds of elite soldiers rushed out of the army and galloped in the direction of the canyon under the leadership of Aristophanes.

When the embarrassed figure of the third prince Arthur Evans finally appeared in his sight, the last illusion in Aristophanes's heart was finally shattered, and under the cover of the mask, his eyes couldn't help but flash with a bloodthirsty cold light.

Just as he was about to come in front of Arthur Evans and the others, Aristophanes suddenly pulled out a short spear hanging from his back and threw it at the scout who led the way, who was defenseless and immediately fell to the ground in anger with a scream, and the corpse fell from under the horse and was trampled into flesh by the knight behind him.

In the stunned expressions of everyone, Aristophanes drew his saber and shouted: "The hateful banshee Lamia, who actually casts a spell to disguise herself as a human, but I have the magic of Orpheus, and I can't confuse my eyes at all. ”

Banshee Lamia is the best at demagogic monsters in the underworld, they can cast spells to change their appearance at will, and it is difficult for mortals to distinguish between authenticity and falsehood.

After hearing Aristophanes' explanation, everyone couldn't help but show a sudden expression, and then their eyes also showed a murderous aura, and they drew their weapons one after another, and surrounded the third prince and others in the center.

Arthur Evans looked at the murderous hundred knights with a dull face, and stammered: "He, they should not be to greet me, let's ......"

Kohler, who was beside him, said in a strange tone, "I'm afraid that the officers of your kingdom have seen us as a stumbling block to snatching credit. ”

Kohler has been rampant on the continent for several years, and naturally he has seen a lot of bad things about the nobles and high-level people, so he can see through the other party's intentions at a glance.

Lukka and the other guards immediately drew their weapons and protected them in front of Arthur Evans, but their faces always maintained a composure that did not match their identity, as if they were not facing an army led by a hundred enemy powerhouses.

"My lord, is there something wrong, I have seen His Royal Highness the Third Prince, and the face of this one is exactly the same as His Royal Highness the Third Prince. ”

Aristophanes looked at Mednanlos who stopped him with cold eyes, and said in a cold tone: "Mednanlos, don't be blinded by the banshee's spells, I have the magic of the Orpheus Sect, don't you still believe me?"

Just as Mordenanlos was about to say something, Aristophanes immediately shouted: "Don't be blinded by the banshee, kill!"

After receiving the order, all the soldiers attacked without hesitation, and spears and sharp swords fell from all directions, as if to split the third prince and twenty guards into pulp in an instant.

For a while, the sound of weapons clashing and people's screams of pain were endless, and what was even more shocking was that hundreds of elite veterans who had never died in a hundred battles besieged together, not only did not get the results they deserved, but they lost their troops one after another, and more than a dozen soldiers were wounded in the blink of an eye.

Aristophanes looked at the twenty guards in surprise, and he could see at a glance that the weakest of these guards had a strength of 3 horsepower, and the strength of the strongest captain even reached 8 horsepower, and they advanced and retreated with each other in an orderly manner, and they were obviously veterans with extremely rich experience in battle formations.

"When did the straw bale of the third prince recruit so many elite guards, even His Royal Highness the Second Prince doesn't know anything. ”

Seeing the continuous loss of soldiers, Aristophanes knew that he would not be able to drag it out any longer, so he immediately made a decision, suddenly raised his long sword and rushed forward, slashing Luka who was blocking the front with a sword.

With a crisp click, the 150-horsepower sword split the thick shield in half, and Aristophanes kicked Lukka to the ground.

Aristophanes had a fierce eye in his eyes, and if he killed everyone here, he would be able to claim the credit without the slightest effort, and even have the opportunity to clear the obstacles around him.

At this time, Aristophanes had already begun to plan in his heart, how to kill Mordenanlos, and if necessary, he could even blame him for everything.

"Well, it's this Spartan. ”

Aristophanes couldn't help but catch a glimpse of a distinct figure, and he immediately thought of this sworn brother of the Third Prince, a Spartan who had a great reputation in the royal city.
