The attitude of treating the present "temporary existence" as an illusory existence is itself an important reason for the loss of the captivity's vitality. Once a person has this attitude, everything seems meaningless to him. He forgets that difficult external circumstances often give people a chance to surpass themselves and thus achieve spiritual growth.

—Victor Frank (Professor of Psychosology and Psychoanalysis)

The reason why only 2,500 of the 3,000 soldiers under Wink's command participated in the decisive battle against the army of the Doge's Palace was because the remaining brigade of the City Defense Army surrounded the Doge's Palace, which was the key point for resolving the affairs of the province of Brojancson.

The Marquis of Bedouin and the Earl of Hamilton were not fools, and they were very wary of the five hundred city defense soldiers who suddenly appeared outside the governor's palace, and the cautious Marquis of Bedouin once asked the Earl of Hapathon to lead the guards in the palace to go out to have a look.

The Earl of Hamilton, who spared his life, did not dare to take the danger himself, and the sound of killing in the city had already scared him enough, and after receiving the order of the Marquis of Bedouin, he was forced to just let a knight of his family go out with fifty palace guards to test the temptation.

Fifty lightly armored guards of the governor were the opponents of the elite of the 200 city defense troops who blocked the gate of the governor's palace head-on; the three javelin throws of a hundred lightly armed infantry alone caused more than 30 guards who had just stepped out of the gate of the governor's palace to be shot and killed on the spot.

If it weren't for the loose procession of the fifty guards who walked out of the gates of the Governor's Palace, I am afraid that even the dozen or so guards who fled back in panic would not have escaped a little, and even so, the thunderous blows of the city defense army still shocked the Earl of Hamilton, who was trapped in the Governor's Palace.

Out of trust in the 25,000 troops under his command, all the attention of the Marquis of Bedouin was on the 30,000 garrisons of the Fire Legion outside the city, but the 3,000 city defense troops inside the city were never taken seriously by the Marquis of Bedouin.

You know, the city defense army is simply synonymous with waste within the empire, and even the family guards of ordinary and low-ranking nobles are much stronger than the city defense army, so the Marquis of Bedouin stubbornly believes that the city defense army in the city is also a vulnerable waste army.

It was on the basis of this preconceived judgment that the Marquis de Bedouin left only 600 guards in his governor's palace, and these 600 guards were typical aristocratic guards, with flashy weapons and equipment, and they were full of words but low combat effectiveness.

Such personal guards, guarded by the Royal Knights inside and guarded by the Royal Legion outside, may also be used to fill the façade, but in the battle of blood and fire, their value is not much better than that of those servants who are frightened, and even inferior to some servants.

A dozen or so guards, who were panicked, fled into the Governor's Palace without even having time to close the gates, and at last seven or eight of their more courageous servants closed the door of the Governor's Palace again under the pressure of the Earl of Hamilton.

The task given to them by Winck was to surround the Governor's Mansion and completely cut off the Governor's Palace's connection with the outside world;

Wink, who had the authority to give the order to attack, did not intend to launch an attack on the Doge's Palace until the main force of the city defense army had defeated the Doge's army, and what Vink did was only to trap the Marquis of Bedouin and the Earl of Hamilton so that they could not escape from the Doge's Palace.

The decisive battle between the city defense army and the governor's palace army ended with the total destruction of the governor's palace army, and Wenk, who was free of his hands, first asked the 6,000 soldiers under the control of the city defense army to clear the battlefield and guard the prisoners, and then let the city defense soldiers occupy the military points.

After methodically giving orders to the various brigade-based troops, Winkcai, who was accompanied by Count Abraham, personally led 400 soldiers of the city defense army to the governor's palace, which had already been surrounded by the city defense corps.

At this time, in the governor's palace, which had been trapped for a long time, the Marquis of Bedouin, who lacked courage, walked back and forth restlessly like an ant on a hot pot, and the Earl of Hamilton, who sensed the deadly crisis, stood in the hall without even breathing, allowing sweat to flow from his forehead.

No matter how wasteful the guards of the Governor's Palace were, there would still be some soldiers with good strength, and with these soldiers who were not taken seriously in the past and were not in danger at critical moments, the Marquis of Bedouin finally figured out where the army surrounding his Governor's Palace came from and how large it was.

Five hundred soldiers from the city defense army dared to surround his governor's palace in a grand manner, and this absurd thing made the Marquis of Bedouin, who had a serious self-aggrandizement some time ago, extremely angry, and even gave birth to the idea of letting the guards in the palace kill him.

Fortunately, the Earl of Hamilton was still a man of understanding, and he knew that what was happening in the city tonight was far more complicated than it appeared on the surface, so he tried his best to dissuade the Marquis de Bedouin from giving the order for his guards to be killed, so as to avoid a further deterioration of the situation in the Doge's Palace.

However, all that the Earl of Hamilton did was nothing more than a mantis arm, and when Wink, who personally led four hundred soldiers of the city defense army, came to the gate of the governor's palace, the number of soldiers surrounding the governor's palace reached nine hundred, and all of them were well-trained and powerful elite divisions.

"Count Abraham, you were once one of the most trusted followers of the Governor of Bedouin, can you tell me how we can capture this weakly defended governor's palace with the least casualties and get the most out of us?"

Facing Wink's smiling eyes, the ingenious Earl Abraham still didn't understand that this was simply a test given to him by Wink on behalf of Bai Feng; Earl Abraham, who had seen the combat effectiveness of the city defense army under Wink, replied respectfully:

"General Wink, with the strength of your nine hundred elites, it will only take half an hour at most to capture the weakly defended Governor's Palace, but I suggest that you try to avoid using force to solve the problem, so that you can have more advantages in the next negotiations. ”

"Why waste time negotiating with the Bedouin Governor, when we can solve the problem by the most simple and efficient means of force?

In the face of Wink's deliberate troubles, Count Abraham just smiled lightly: "General Wink, contrary to what you think, I think that a living Bedouin governor is more valuable than a dead Bedouin governor. ”

"Really?" The undeniable Wink, who neither directly denied Count Abraham's statement, nor immediately agreed with Count Abraham's statement, said in an indifferent tone: "I'm curious about your thoughts, can you be specific?"

"Of course!" said Count Abraham, who felt that he had grasped Wink's thoughts, with a slight hint of joy in his voice, "A dead Bedouin governor is at best a downed enemy, and has no other meaningful value. ”

"To the ambitious General Hakuho, an insignificant enemy like the Governor of Bedouin is almost insignificant, and one more Governor of Bedouin, one less Governor of Bedouin, is unlikely to fundamentally change General Whitepeak's control over the province of Brockians. ”

"Therefore, in my opinion, rather than taking the risk of offending His Majesty the Emperor to cut off the Governor of Bedouin, it is better to leave him behind, who has lost everything, and the Governor of Bedouin, who is under the control of General Bai Feng, can at least help General Bai Feng avoid arousing the suspicion of His Majesty the Emperor. ”

Looking at Count Abraham, who was talking eloquently with confidence on his face, Wink, who looked indifferent, glanced at him coldly, then turned his head and ordered the two captains behind him: "Immediately launch an attack on the Governor's Palace, and those who dare to resist will be killed!"

"No!" The two captains with resolute faces immediately took the order and turned to leave.

"Storm the Governor's Palace and kill Bedouin!" was the slogan shouted by the first captain to his five hundred soldiers.

"Those who dare to resist will be killed!" was the slogan shouted by the second captain to his 400 soldiers.

"Kill!" "Kill!!" "Kill!!"

Compared with the shouts of the two captains, the shouts of nearly a thousand soldiers in unison undoubtedly shocked Earl Abraham even more, and with the sound of the charging slogan, the soldiers of the two brigades of the city defense army officially launched a frenzied attack on the weakly defended governor's palace.

The fragile gate of the Governor's Palace, after being hit by three smashes of wood carried by the soldiers of the city defense army, turned into a pile of broken wood, and the soldiers of the city defense army who rushed forward quickly drowned the guards of the governor's palace, which had very low counterattack, and it was another one-sided slaughter.

"Your Excellency Abraham, do you not understand why I am launching an attack on the Doge's Palace? Do you think you have figured out what I think? Do you think you have seen through all the general's layout?"

The three questions raised by Wenke in succession made Count Abraham, who had not yet reacted from the shock, nod subconsciously;

"Count Abraham, I hope you will understand the basic principle of following a general: that is, do not speculate on anyone, especially ours, with your ideas, or you will sooner or later pay the price you did not expect for your self-righteousness. ”

"Do you think that if you don't kill Bedouin, Charlemagne won't be suspicious of our generals? No, as long as our generals' military power is not deprived for a day, Charlemagne's suspicion of our generals will not be eliminated; the army is the key to all suspicions and doubts!"

"Do you think I'm going to spare Bedouin and his followers in the Doge's Palace? No, all those who dare to confront the general are enemies we must kill, even if he is Charlemagne's own governor of the empire, and our swords only know our generals!"

"Do you think that the general's layout is to control a mere Bedouin? No, the general's foresight is far from what you and I can imagine, and you can't even see through my mind and want to see through the general's layout, it's simply foolish!"

In his opinion, the reason why he betrayed the Marquis of Bedouin and joined Bai Feng was not that he was inferior to anyone, but that the difference in strength between the Marquis of Bedouin and Bai Feng was too great.

Now, a little-known general under Bai Feng's command, Wink, has shown his resourcefulness and ability to completely crush him, and such a cruel reality has made Count Abraham, who has a pride in his bones, completely broken his heart defense for the first time.

Knocking on Count Abraham was not something that Bai Feng instructed Wink to do, all of this was done by Winck on his own initiative, from participating in the battle between the Fire Legion and the army of the Doge's Palace, to leading the army to attack the Doge's Palace, Wink was acting according to his own ideas.

The reason why Adrien and Ivan, who were secretly lurking in the city of Brojansson, did not come forward to interfere with Wink's unauthorized decision-making was because the situation developed too suddenly tonight, and on the other hand, because everything Wink was doing so far was beneficial to Bai Feng.

If Wink did something that was unfavorable to Bai Feng or affected Bai Feng's overall layout, then Adrian, the leader of the net, and Ivan, the leader of the Shadow Killer, would personally cut off Wink!

Wen Ke, who is quite talented in military training, can be appointed by Bai Feng as the commander of the city defense army of Brojansson County by virtue of his own ability, which in itself shows that he is not the core figure of Bai Feng's forces, otherwise, how could Bai Feng not take him away?

All the officials and officers appointed by Bai Feng who remained in the provinces of Brujansson and Toulon were not only the talents that Bai Feng valued, but also the non-core figures that Bai Feng was willing to test, and how to solve the problem under the high pressure of the new governor was the test that Bai Feng put on them.

Needless to say, Winck's performance was perfect, whether it was decisive in the face of a sudden outbreak of battle, or the courage to order an attack on the Governor's Palace, Wink, who was good at training, showed the qualities of a general who should be in charge of his own army.

As for Wink's warnings and beatings to Count Abraham, Adrien and Ivan both agreed, because Count Abraham's arrogance and self-esteem from time to time had long made Adrien and Ivan, who were constantly watching him, dissatisfied.

As it turned out, the will of the Marquis de Bedouin and the Earl of Hamilton was far less tough than they had been shown to be, and after the fierce attack of the city defense army had wiped out most of the Governor's Palace's guards, which numbered less than 600 men, they surrendered with the rest of them.

Earl Hamilton, who had chosen to swear allegiance to the Marquis of Bedouin, was the first to lead more than 20 family guards to the Governor's Palace, and surrendered to the murderous soldiers of the city defense army when the Governor's Palace was about to collapse.

The first person to swear allegiance to the Marquis of Bedouin, and the first person to betray the Marquis of Bedouin in battle, was actually the Earl of Hamilton, which has to be said to be a great irony for the Marquis of Bedouin, so that he surrendered and still hated the Earl of Hamilton.

Wink, who had planned to annihilate everyone in the Governor's Palace, chose to accept it calmly in the face of the surrender of Earl Hamilton and Marquis of Bedouin, and when the surrender was taken down by the soldiers of the city defense army, only Earl Hamilton and Marquis Bedouin were left behind.

Five minutes later, the more than 400 guards of the Governor's Palace and the guards of the various families who had surrendered had been taken away by the soldiers of the city defense army, and then the Marquis of Bedouin and all his followers were driven back to the governor's palace by the fierce soldiers of the city defense army.

That night, after the fire on the camp of the Legion of Fire, the Governor's Palace of the Marquis of Bedouin was ablaze again, and the fire of the Governor's Palace, which almost illuminated the entire county, lasted for a night before it was over, and the once prosperous Governor's Palace was burned to ruins!9110
