Chapter Seventy-Six: A Reunion
In the darkness of the night, Müller stood at the head of the city of Ashtidon and looked in the direction of his hometown.
The siege was nearing its end, and all but a few areas of the royal city were still resisting stubbornly, and the rest of the area had been captured by the Dils army, and this kind of finishing work could be completed by anyone.
Since Li Tianhao had ordered the three armies not to plunder the people after entering the city, the palace of Yaki and the mansions of the dignitaries became the only places where they could get the spoils of war, and the Dils army flocked to those places, but Muller was not interested in this kind of thing at all, but his wife Elaine shouted loudly and led Muller's subordinates.
At present, Muller's heart is full of emotion, after more than seven years since the old master was attacked and killed by the Yaqui people, he has gone through countless ups and downs along the way with the young master Li Tianhao, and finally captured the royal capital of Yaki Ashtiton today. Although the real culprits have not yet been found, the governor of Maranster, Corbius and General Sam, the national strength of the entire Yaki can no longer compete with Li Tianhao's Diers' army. The master's vengeance is about to be avenged. Mueller thought about it, but his eyes moistened a little.
At this time, it would be good if the young master was by his side, he must have the same emotion as himself, the master and servant could drink and talk together. It's a pity that Li Tianhao, who is the commander-in-chief of the Dils Army, has his own responsibilities and can't be separated.
Touching the stones on the battlements, Müller paced slowly, and the cool wind blowing on his face at night was particularly comfortable, which reminded him of the sea breeze in his hometown of Path, and also reminded him that he and the young master were originally men who should have belonged to the sea, who should have fought against the monstrous waves and strong winds on the ship, but now they were trapped in this hot land. Muller, who is already in his prime, hopes to return to sea as soon as possible. Live a carefree and free life. But everything has changed, and I already have a family. The young lord even became the husband of Queen Parchi, Prince Dils. In my current capacity, it may not be so easy to return to the sea.
When Müller was in his trance, his eardrums were gently scratched by a voice, and the general's instinct immediately woke him up - this was someone trying to climb over the city wall!
It would be forgivable for someone to take advantage of this time to escape outside the city, but this voice actually came from outside the city! At this time, there are still people who want to infiltrate the city, so what must they have for their purpose!
Muller immediately lowered his figure and drew his twin swords, and softly summoned the guards on duty at the head of the city, telling them not to speak, and to quietly look for the place where the enemy came up.
Sure enough, it didn't take much effort for them to find five iron claws hooked at the head of the city. It seems that the size of the enemy is not very large. Mueller was sure of this, but at the same time he knew in his heart that the comer would not be too weak. With the men you have at hand, you may not be able to restrain them. He told one of the soldiers to hurry to find someone, and then ambushed the rest of the people in the night.
As soon as the soldier calling for help left, the first enemy had already climbed up. Mueller's eyes were quick, and as soon as he reached out and swung the knife in his right hand, the man fell to the ground without even snorting.
Immediately after the second, a third climbed up, and Müller slashed another one to death, and the remaining one was killed by the soldiers.
When the fourth man jumped up, the muller knife stopped in mid-air. Because he recognized this person as Zelda!
Zelda was also taken aback by what he saw, but he immediately understood what was going on, and immediately drew his sword and slashed at Muller, who used it to pull away his sword. The two of them stood together.
"There's an ambush up there! Evacuate! Zelda shouted as she snorted.
Muller was pinned down by Zelda, and the remaining soldiers could not fully control the situation, and they hurriedly killed the three people who came up from behind. One of them took advantage of the gap and rushed to the wall.
"Cut off the rope!" Mueller roared. Now that the ambush has been discovered, it is necessary to try to prevent the enemy from continuing to emerge. He couldn't help but regret a little in his heart that he hadn't knocked Zelda unconscious in the first place just now, and now it was impossible to completely annihilate this enemy.
The soldiers did so. All five ropes were cut off, and those dangling in mid-air fell to the ground screaming, and Müller distinctly heard a strong crash between his body and the ground.
But in the process, the enemy who rushed to the city wall just now had already killed four soldiers, and the opponent's skills were really strong.
"Zelda, why are you here?" Mueller asked, fighting.
"You don't care about this, take it!" Zelda said fiercely.
Muller had to admit that Zelda's swordsmanship had improved a long way compared to five years ago, if Muller could easily suppress him to support those soldiers five years ago, but now he was still in the upper hand but he was powerless to care.
"You're too big, and although you've improved a lot, you're still far from it. You also know in your heart that you can't win against me, give up, Zelda, your men are trapped in the city and can't support you. Mueller said as he snorted, trying to persuade Zelda to give up.
"You don't talk nonsense! Even if I die here today, I'm going to pull you on my back! ”
At this time, a hundred or so soldiers hurriedly arrived under the city, and they all flashed their spears and pointed at the enemy who was fighting alone with many guards.
The man, despite his martial prowess, could not resist such a wall of spears, and was forced to retreat, and the guards and spearmen forced him towards the battlements of the wall, and the man shouted a decisive blow to the soldiers, his sword slashed the neck of one of the soldiers, and his body was pierced by a dozen spears.
The spearmen solved the problem and quickly surrounded Zelda. If the spearmen had done it together, the incapable Zelda would have died instantly.
"Stop!" Mueller stopped the soldiers' actions in time, and at the same time put away his knife and said: "You go, I don't want to kill you." ”
"I don't need your mercy! You can do it! Zelda roared.
"Well, I tell you, your eldest brother Qusay is still alive, and now he lives in seclusion in the territory of the former Palci, with a small piece of land. You just brought this news to your mother, can you continue to live for this reason? ”
"My eldest brother? He, he's still alive? A hint of joy appeared on Zelda's face, and then she straightened up and said, "I won't thank you, I'll kill you next time we meet!" ”
"As long as you can do it. Besides, though I shouldn't say it, I still advise you to be careful, and don't let the other Tiers generals run into you, they won't open up to you. ”
"I don't need you to remind you." Zelda snorted, tucked the sword back into its sheath, and then pulled out a rope to tie it to the battlements and slid down it.
After he was gone, Mueller said to the soldiers: "Tonight someone touched the sentry, and even if you found it and beat it back, nothing else happened, I didn't see anything, understand?" ”
"Yes!" The soldiers responded in unison.
Müller nodded, then hurried down the wall. (To be continued.) )
