Chapter 228: The Betrayer
Eugen could never have imagined that he would meet Corleone in such a situation, and besides, Corleone was wearing enemy armor!
Eugen was anxious for a long time when he got the news of Corleone's disappearance, so he deliberately sent a large number of people to look for it, but he never found it.
Now, without looking for him, Corleone himself appeared, moreover, as an enemy.
"Corleone, what the hell is going on?" Eugen suppressed the shock in his heart and asked in a deep voice as he stared into Corleone's eyes.
"Huh." With a smile on his face, Corleone glanced at Eugen mockingly, and said, "Isn't that obvious enough?" I have betrayed you and joined Viscount Tariq! ”
When he said this, he looked like a villain, which was in great contrast with the impression he usually gave people.
When Eugen saw this, the guards glared at Corleone, and some even spat on the ground to express their disdain.
Even the Saxon soldiers behind Corleone had a hint of disgust in their eyes, for these soldiers, loyalty was the noblest virtue, and betrayers would be despised by all.
"This Judas!" Someone in the city guard muttered quietly, and this phrase also represented the thoughts of most people present.
Eugen frowned when he heard this, he knew a lot about Corleone, and knew that he could never be such a person, not to mention anything else, judging from the fact that he had rushed to help from Heidelberg, thousands of miles away, regardless of his own pain, it was enough to see that Corleone was a person who valued love and righteousness.
The reason why this is happening must be the reason behind it.
Thinking like this, Eugen's eyes narrowed slightly, and his mind was not as excited as before, and became calm as water again.
However, from the outside, Eugen's face was as heavy as water, as if dark clouds were gathering and brewing thunderous rage.
Corleone didn't shy away from looking directly into Eugen's eyes, with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, and said: "It doesn't matter, Eugen, you lose, you lose at my hands, my soldiers will grab you and drag you to me like a dog." ”
After saying that, Corleone seemed unwilling to talk to Eugen, so he turned around and ordered loudly: "Everyone listen to my orders, suppress them for me, and rescue Master Izzat!" ”
Hearing this, the soldiers of the city guard team all tensed up, staring at the Saxon soldiers opposite, as if the battle would break out at any moment.
It's just that the hands of these guards holding their weapons are trembling slightly, last night they ambushed those Saxon archers, it took a lot of energy, and today it was early in the morning to go to the battlefield and start fighting, until now, everyone is sleepy and tired.
If it weren't for the tense atmosphere on the battlefield, these soldiers would have been lying on the ground and falling asleep.
Now it seems that perhaps those Saxon archers were sent out to lure Eugen with bait from the beginning, and once Eugen sent people out late at night to encircle and suppress, the next day's defense would inevitably be flawed.
Corleone then took the opportunity to order his soldiers to storm and create a decisive battle.
From this point of view, in this duel between Eugen and Corleone, the losing side turned out to be Eugen.
From this alone, it is enough to see Corleone's command ability, on the battlefield, it is the command ability of the generals on both sides, and Eugen suffers from a complete ignorance of the situation of the local generals, which leads to the current defeat.
If this situation had been placed elsewhere, Eugen would have been in a different place and paid a heavy price for his mistakes, but at the moment, the situation is different.
I saw that although Corleone gave the order, the Saxon soldiers did not charge abnormally, but began to retreat step by step.
Each of them had their eyes fixed on Corleone, a look of distrust on their faces.
"You guys!" Seeing this scene, Corleone's eyes widened angrily, and he said in a cold voice: "What are you going to do, do you want to disobey?" ”
No one answered him, the Saxon soldiers were still retreating, they were already worried about the safety of Izzat, coupled with their distrust of Corleone, but at this moment they no longer had the intention of attacking, but were ready to retreat.
This was purely a spontaneous act of the Saxon soldiers, and no one ordered them.
When Eugen saw this, his heart was ecstatic, although Corleone's command was very good, he was ultimately defeated by his identity as a traitor.
As a traitor, he was already unpopular in the army, and the loyalty of the soldiers was very limited, and at this moment, on the one hand, the safety of Young Master Izzat, and on the other hand, Corleone's orders, the two sides were weighed, but the Saxon soldiers chose to retreat.
"Damn, you fools, go up and kill those people for me, arrest Eugen, you rush me!" In a fit of rage, Corleone drew his sword and threatened the Saxon soldiers with an attack.
Eugen saw this scene, his heart moved, the expression on his face immediately changed, he looked very anxious, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Okay, Corleone, you have done a good job, you have let so many Saxon soldiers fall into the trap, I must reward you well!" ”
What he said complicates Corleone's identity again, as if to imply that he is a spy sent by Eugen to the Tariq camp.
Corleone turned his head and stared at Eugen in surprise, his gray eyes revealing an extremely complicated look, puzzled, puzzled, angry and even a little confused.
"Betrayer!"
At this moment, someone in the Saxon army suddenly shouted loudly, and the atmosphere became more and more intense, and the tone was full of hatred for Corleone.
"Betrayer, he deceived us!" Another shout.
Suddenly, several soldiers standing behind Corleone slammed their copper hammers into their hands and slammed them into Corleone's helmet.
Corleone rolled his eyes and immediately fell into a coma, the last image in his mind was Eugen shouting his name.
Eugen ...... My lord...... I still lost to you in the end. Corleone had this sentence in his mind, and he fell backwards, unconscious.
"Let's retreat! It's an ambush, and that Corleone is a traitor! ”
"Arrest him, hand him over to Master Tariq to execute him, and take him away!"
"Yes, he is the leader of the enemy, we will capture him and exchange him for our young master Izzat!"
A group of Saxon soldiers shouted in unison, picked up Corleone, who had fallen into a coma, and retreated from the city wall in a panic, looking like a lost dog.
