Chapter 42: The Old Ji Haojie (2)
Estheus's account begins with a surprise attack on the Imperial border, where he claims to be a death row prisoner who escaped during the Janos unrest and hides in a caravan wagon. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info rescued Jeffrey when the heresy struck, and then accompanied the caravan, broke up in Larria, and never expected to meet Jeffrey again in Marions. He was then hired by Jeffrey to serve as his bodyguard to escort him to Sarion. Schneider and Keia are a little suspicious of his words, although the plot is bizarre, but it is not leaky, if there is any doubt, that is, it is indeed a little unbelievable that Eshy was able to save Jeffrey from the Death Knight squad alone.
"What did he tell you?" Schneider asked.
"He suspects that there is a spy in the Chamber of Commerce, and this person is not of low status, and if he hastily returns to Saarion with the caravan, he is likely to be intercepted and killed by a large army."
"And how did you get to him?"
"He needs to avoid the eyes and ears of the spies, and he can't go back to the city with great fanfare, and it is best to travel lightly. So I proposed myself to him. ”
"Interesting." Kia turned his head down and flipped through the file with the oil lamp, "A few days ago, the Meritorious Knight Kenriko reported that there were calamity crows in the red-maned plains in front of Harlem Gosburg, and there were two corpses in the haunted place, and the death was like an iron weapon piercing the brain, and it was suspected that someone had thrown it to death. Something to do with you? ”
"Yes, I killed it. There were four of us killed, all dressed in Sarion uniforms. ”
"Of the other two, is there one who wears a silver mask and uses a short iron staff as a weapon?" Dante spoke coldly.
Eshu recalled for a moment and nodded, "Yes." ”
"Invoker of heresy." Teresa said, "The other three, if not the direct guards, are at least the Black Knights. ”
Dante looked at Estheu with a playful look in his eyes: "An imperial death row prisoner can actually fight four heretical high-end combat forces alone, and kill two people at the cost of minor injuries. I'm sure your story is 100% true, but I still have a question," he said, approaching Estheus, and asked word for word:
"What does that wine--noisy have to do with you?"
"He took care of me for ten years, so he can be regarded as an adoptive father." Eishu said without hesitation that he didn't want to hide this relationship between him and the old drunkard in the first place, but anyone who cares, as long as he traces the turmoil during the annual festival of the empire, can know that although the noisy person fell off the cliff in full view of everyone, he could not see anyone alive or dead. Eshua is another imperial death row prisoner who suddenly popped out a year later, and his extraordinary skills will inevitably make people with a heart think about it.
"I see." Dante said briefly.
Estheu's question is over for the time being, not that Schneider doesn't want to get to the bottom of it, but that the nuns of hell have gone straight to her topic: "What about Samael?" ”
"Dead." Schneider said, "I dug a demon orb out of his heart and replaced it with the name of his connector: Trevor Pendragon. All information will be passed on to this person after he has turned it over. ”
"Wait!" Kia stood up and stared at Schneider, "You say, his surname is Pendragon?" Do you hear me? ”
"It's clear, it's Pendragon."
"Impossible, impossible! When pigs fly! Kia muttered to himself, "How could such an honorable surname be associated with a heretic!" ”
……
Marius was still a step slower after all, even if the Archon of Kairos defeated Elfwan on the plains of Callindern and broke the blade of the Saarion's attack on the hinterland of Issos; Even Antonius, who dismounted as an infantry knight at the Seb Bridge, stubbornly sniped Brenus for three hours; Even though Sezi's Golden Rose Augustana and the Shadow Wing kept harassing and obstructing Brenus, the lion from Affindor still managed to cross the hinterland of the Empire, set foot on the border between the Empire and Daxia, and blocked the Empire in the Turda Fortress for a long time, and even the Holy War Fort was strategically abandoned. In the words of the chief knight Kaye, it is "Marius, this old boy's eye, is not for us to stab!" ”
"Mr. Kaye, we are now a lone army, with the Imperial Army in front and the Shadow Wing in the back. If the two sides are flanked, our formation will be instantly overwhelmed, who ...... That's not necessarily what it is. Morris reminded that he was still so reserved that he was ashamed to even say the word "stab".
"Hmph, the people who follow Keros really have some skills. That little girl has been holding on, just waiting for me to collide with Mario. Brenus spread out the military map, and his 2,000 men were sandwiched between the Shadow Wing and the Imperial army led by Marius, like a bone lying between the fangs, and the slightest mistake would shatter the bones. Augustana never intended to snipe, and the Shadow Wing was called a raid, but in fact, they let the Sarionians drive straight in, and they were bound to eat Brenus and his lion knights in one bite at Turda Fortress!
"How?" Kaye asked.
Duke Brenus waved his hand and closed his eyes: "If you were the commander, what would you do?" Kaye, I'd like to hear your thoughts first. ”
Kaye said without hesitation: "The lion thunder array will open the way, and before it is surrounded, directly break through the blockade of Augustana!" "It is worthy of being a knight trained by the famous general of fire, and his method is as simple and crude as dry firewood.
The Duke of Brenus was noncommittal and turned to Maurice: "What about you?" ”
Maurice frowned at the map, picked up his pen and drew a circle on the Turda Fortress: "I will lead the troops to feign an attack on the right flank of the Imperial army, but in fact take the opportunity to break into the territory of the Turda Fortress. The Turda Fortress is built on the mountain, and the terrain of the Turda Mountain is precipitous, and we can take advantage of the terrain to implement a roundabout strategy, and when we reach the official decisive battle with the Empire in the summer, we can-"
Kaye unceremoniously interrupted Morris: "That's a fart, you've read all the books on pigs!" In a roundabout way, our force composition is almost entirely cavalry, and the mountains are not our home field! Maybe before the official decisive battle, we'll already let people serve it! ”
"That's right, it's pure fart. After returning to Affindore, Maurice you were confined for a week. "But Kaye's tactics aren't much better." We're here to stab Marius in the ass, how can we just go back like this? See, we are not encircled, Marius has just withdrawn from the front with his army, and he cannot possibly know that we have pointed our spears at him. The most important point is that we still have a high degree of tactical self-determination! ”
"Tactical self-determination?" Morris repeated suspiciously, and Kaye was also at a loss, both of them were well-read military books, but had never heard of the term.
"In other words, we still have the initiative in our hands. If I were Augustana's little girl, I would have pressed directly with the three shadow phalanxes and entangled us to the death, as long as the Imperials found out about the battle here. Hehe, at that time, the Order's tower sword will open the way, the immortal knight will press the formation, and the fire crossbow will carry out a long-range strike, and we will become the stuffing in the bun. The total annihilation of the army is a certainty! ”
The analysis of the famous general of fire made Kia and Kaye both break out in a cold sweat, Kaye was even more afraid, she underestimated the outstanding positional combat ability of the Shadow Wing under the immovable mountain Kairos, although the Lion Thunder Array is claimed to be enough to tear apart all the defense lines, but if the Shadow Wing eats the scales and fights to the death, it will not be a momentary success to chisel through their line. The lone army is a sharp knife that pierces the throat of the enemy, and it must be fought quickly, once it is caught in a protracted battle, it seems to be stuck between the bones, and the blade will surely break!
If you don't enter, you die!
