Chapter 115: The Princess's Assassination
Toristine Imperial Frontier
The endless green prairie, the clear sky is cloudless, and the originally quiet grassland is suddenly disturbed by a group of uninvited guests.
An army of 100,000 marched towards the border, with 80,000 spear infantry and 5,000 shield men in the vanguard, 10,000 cavalry and 1,000 mage troops in the rear.
A kilometer away, there is also a unit waiting here.
20,000 spear infantry, 300 mage troops, 2,000 knights, 1,000 shield soldiers.
In the face of enemy forces several times their size, the soldiers of the Toristine Empire were demoralized and panicked, and if nothing else, there was no suspense in this war.
In order to stabilize the morale of the army, An Lietta also came to the front line this time, but she only served as the commander in the rear.
For the front-line handsome, morale boosting or something, unless she doesn't want to live anymore.
As long as the enemy forces are willing to kill her with all their might, then Toristine is finished, and without an heir, the empire will be plunged into civil strife for the throne for years to come, not to mention the invader Albion.
"Your Royal Highness, the enemy has crossed the border and is coming towards us," a secret guard stepped forward to report.
"So fast? Damn, two hours ahead of the attack time in the intelligence, what are you eating? Angelita said angrily to the dark guard in front of her.
Maybe An Rietta was too strong, and the dark guard lowered his head: "I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness Princess, it's the incompetence of my subordinates"
"What about the support of the Imperial Academy?"
"Arrived in about two hours"
"Pass my order, the soldiers at the front must hold out for two hours, no matter what the cost"
"Yes," the Dark Guard disappeared in place again.
Angela slumped in her chair, holding the topographical map of the surroundings of the Torristeen Empire in both hands, and let out a long sigh.
"I hope that the father in heaven will bless his daughter to successfully resolve this crisis"
Putting down the map, Angela took out a delicate small box, and when she opened it, it was a bloodstained note.
[Note the assassination from the darkness]
"Is that him?" An Rietta's beautiful eyes were full of tenderness, and she couldn't come back to her senses when she looked at this note.
Because of the reminder of this note, Sister Yakumo was asked to protect herself, otherwise, she would not be alive now.
Wales-Tudor, the youngest prince of the Albion Empire, Torristeen had a partnership with Albion three years ago.
At that time, there were also royal contacts between the two countries, and it was also at that time that he and she met.
Handsome and handsome appearance, gentle and considerate personality, Anrietta fell in love with Wales, and finally mustered up the courage to confess, but the latter returned to Albion because of the dispute for the prince.
"Will he show up in this war?" Angelita was worried, worried that her faith would waver.
I hope I'm thinking too much.
……………………
On the other hand, on the front-line battlefield, when the two armies met, the situation soon turned one-sided.
The knight's iron horse charges, the infantry's deadly spears, the mage's ranged support, the shieldmen's invincible defense.
In just half an hour, half of the soldiers of the Toristine Empire were killed or wounded, and it was difficult to fulfill the order to hold on for two hours.
If Yakumo was here, she would definitely despise it to the extreme.
Because there is no tactic, art of war, and formation, there is no one, and it will only be like a barbarian.
It's really weak!!
"Your Royal Highness Princess, you can't hold it, most of our casualties have been lost, and almost all of them have no combat power, hurry up and retreat, Your Royal Highness Princess ......"
The Dark Guard rushed into the tent covered in blood, and just said this sentence before he fell to the ground and lost his breath.
An Lietta looked at the corpse on the ground, her breath was short, and her heart began to panic.
"How is it possible, it's only been an hour, and the defense line can't hold it?"
"Damn, hateful, damned," she said, banging on the wooden table in front of her to vent her panic and despair.
"Sure enough, here it is"
Suddenly, an unfamiliar male voice sounded.
"Who?" An Rietta frowned, looked up ahead, and was stunned by the scene in front of her.
In this twenty-square-meter tent, dozens of men in black stood in front of Anrietta, dressed like Torlistine's secret guards.
But she knew that the dozens of dark guards in front of her were not her subordinates.
Because she only brought eighteen secret guards with her on this expedition, in addition to which one died, there were seventeen, and it was impossible to have dozens at all.
"Look, brothers, we found a big fish"
"Wow, boss, you are really clever, fortunately let this kid escape, otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to make this contribution."
"This is Her Royal Highness the princess beloved by the commoners of Torlistine, you say, if we insult this princess in front of them, will we feel desperate and surrender immediately?"
"It's a good idea, time is pressing, arrest her, hurry up"
As he spoke, several men in black closest to An Rietta stepped forward to capture him.
"Guards!" Angela shouted outside in horror.
"Haha, dear princess, those miscellaneous fish outside have already been cleaned up by us, be honest, and suffer a little less............"
At this time, the man in black who was speaking suddenly had a bloodstained blade piercing his chest.
"Ugh!" The man in black looked at the blade that pierced his chest, and it looked so incredible.
With a "poof", a corpse fell to the ground.
"Be careful, enemy attack"
"Poof! Poof! ”
Several men in black who approached An Rietta were killed instantly, and at the same time, there were more than a dozen men in black around her, no, dark guards.
"Your Royal Highness, are you injured?"
"It's okay" An Rietta shook her head, but the beating heart in her heart all showed her current mood.
"Your Royal Highness the Princess, you retreat quickly, the Imperial Academy is already about to arrive, please go to the round quickly, and leave it to us here"
"Hmph, kill a few of my brothers and just want to leave, is it that easy?"
Dozens of black-clothed men had already formed an encirclement in the blink of an eye.
"Kill"
More than a dozen dark guards glanced at each other, raised the swords in their hands, concentrated in one direction, and opened a gap to escape from the tent.
"Woo~" A strange sound suddenly came out of the sky, and everyone looked up to see that something that looked like a bird and not a bird was flying towards their position.
"What is this?" Not only those men in black, but even An Rietta's side was stunned.
In addition to dragons, there are even species that can fly in the sky?
As soon as the strange bird approached, the bird's head was splashed with fire, and eight people in black died in an instant, and one secret guard died.
"Fuck, it's the enemy, retreat quickly" The leader of the man in black saw that eight people died in front of him, and his courage was almost frightened, so he dared to catch His Royal Highness the princess again, and hurriedly slipped away.
