Angusari, the capital of the Kingdom of Norsbod, the city that never falls.

When the dwarven general returned with the corpse of the old mage, the ministers all had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

"Thirty knights, the leader of the team is still General Fursky, known as "Hill Thunder", is there anyone in this world who can kill Master Carolan who is under layers of protection under this situation?"

In the waiting hall outside the Imperial Council, a group of ministers who were not qualified to enter the Imperial Council were quietly discussing what had happened before.

This accident brought a great shock to the nobles, and its shock was no less than when everyone learned that the three northland provinces had been conquered. That's a master! And it's also the rarest spellcaster among the masters!

Dozens of silver knights, a battle master and an archmage pressed the formation, such combat power, even if you encounter the legendary powerhouse, you can run away if you can't beat it, right? Why is this happening?

Many of the Northland nobles who had hoped that the queen would help them regain their territory were completely pessimistic: the enemy did not fight at all, the core forces had been fighting guerrillas, using the endless numerical superiority of monsters to engage in a war of attrition, and now even Master Carolan had died in battle.

"This battle ...... I'm afraid the Imperial Council can't hold on anymore. A middle-aged aristocrat sighed.

A young nobleman couldn't help but exclaim: "The enemy does not dare to fight us in a decisive battle precisely because the enemy is afraid of us!" Even if we lose the territory and Master Carolan, as long as we find the enemy's main force and kill the enemy's lord, the victory is still ours! ”

"But the question is, how can we find the main force of the enemy? It is precisely because they could not find the main force and head of the enemy that General Folsky and Master Carolan would personally lead the team to the battle, trying to set up an ambush and wipe out the enemy! The middle-aged nobleman glanced at the young nobleman, "If you have any good ideas, just say it." ”

"I ......" the young nobleman fell silent.

The enemy has no strongholds, comes and goes like the wind, and relies on the high mobility of the Wyvern and the Storm Eagle to fight guerrillas, which makes the knights of the kingdom very passive, with no force but no place to use at all. Since there was really no other way, the Imperial Council finally decided to let two Gold-rank masters lead an elite team to set up an ambush, but the result was beyond everyone's expectations.

There was a Golden Rank among the enemies, which was not unexpected by everyone. Even if the master of the gold rank is superior in strength, it is also made of meat, dozens of silver knights rush up, there is still a great chance to overturn the gold rank, plus there is a battle master and an archmage to suppress the formation, even against the four or five gold ranks, it also has the power of a battle, not to mention that General Vorsky is holding the treasure "Thunder Fury", even against the legendary powerhouse, he also has the power of a battle, but the result is ......

Two Golden Ranks have appeared among the enemies, one of whom is a Berserker with a Vampire Phantasm and the ability to restrain General Folsky's "Thunder Fury"; One was a Master Assassin and possessed a Noble Phantasm that could ignore defenses, and Master Caroline's equipment did not delay at all.

During the Imperial Council, the dwarves recounted the events of the battle to the queen and the ministers present.

After listening to the dwarf's story, everyone fell silent.

"I'm supposed to go with you." Queen Rhea sighed, breaking the silence first, "If I had me, at least that assassin wouldn't have been so easy to kill. ”

"It doesn't make sense to say that we don't know much about our enemies." The Imperial Prime Minister spoke, "Since there are two Golden Rank among the enemies, it cannot be ruled out that there is a third Golden Rank among the enemies. Don't forget, their 'king' hasn't yet appeared. There is no doubt that we have already lost this war, and we should withdraw to the south, conserve our strength, gather intelligence, and prepare for the next battle, instead of being consumed here with the enemy. ”

"We haven't lost yet!" The dwarven general stubbornly retorted, "Izeta is still in our hands. ”

The former prime minister raised his eyebrows: "General Folsky, do you know who your enemy is?" ”

"Aren't they the rabbits?" The dwarf replied grimly.

"Is it a rabbit or a human fighting you this time?"

"Yes......" The dwarf was stunned for a second, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, "The assassin who assassinated Caroline is indeed a woman!" A human woman! That monster's accomplices are humans! ”

"The enemy knows us, but we don't even know who the enemy is, how can this battle be fought?" The former prime minister said with a cold face.

"I see." The dwarven general, who had always been the most insistent on war, spat fiercely, "This is a despicable conspiracy!" If I let me know who is behind the scenes, I'll crush his head! ”

Former Prime Minister: "I have never doubted General Folsky's bravery. ”

"Even if you want to fight, you have to find out the enemy's situation. Now this kind of 'blind eye' situation is really bad. "The intelligence chief is also more inclined to retreat.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer and other civil servants were even more anxious for an armistice—the war was a great pressure and challenge to the finances, but after the victory of the war, the knights and nobles who had made meritorious deeds could receive rewards such as fiefs after winning the battle, but none of this had anything to do with the civilian officials.

Soon, the ministers present finally reached a consensus: withdraw troops! Dressing! Make a decision after figuring out the true identity of the enemy.

"By the way, General Folsky, can you describe the appearance of the enemy in detail?" The Chief of Intelligence asked the dwarf.

The dwarf thought for a moment: "Hmm...... The berserker I was fighting was a humanoid monster, tall, two heads taller than the Queen, as black as ink, and looked like a skinned human, and I could clearly see its muscles, shiny black...... The assassin who assassinated Caroline was a woman, a dark-haired woman, not very tall, probably half a head shorter than the Queen, but it was huge! Much more than the Queen! The dwarf's hand gestured to his chest.

Queen Rhea looked at the dwarf with a blank expression.

Everyone quietly glanced at the Queen's washboard-like breasts, and their faces were calm.

"A brunette woman with big boobs? Do you see her face clearly? The former Prime Minister said calmly, not caring about Queen Rhea's flat chest at all.

"Hmm...... dwarf grimaced, "the beardless women all look the same to me. ”

Imperial Prime Minister: "In other words, there are no clues other than height, black hair, and large breasts?" ”

"Hmm...... By the way, during the battle, there seemed to be that colorful light in her left eye, I don't know if it was her ability or what. Can this be considered a clue? ”

Imperial Prime Minister: "Lord Interjes, do you have a goal in mind?" ”

Intelligence Director Interjes looked down and thought for a moment, "Berserker doesn't know, but if it's a female assassin, I think of someone." ”

"Who?" Everyone couldn't help but look at the inconspicuous halfling.

Chief of Intelligence: "Follower of Former Viscount Green of Miracle Valley!" ”

Queen Rhea's fingers paused slightly: "Didn't they say they wouldn't help those rabbits?" ”

"It's just my guess, we don't know what the truth is." The Chief of Intelligence explained.

Queen Rhea frowned slightly: "Go investigate and see if this matter has anything to do with them." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The chief of intelligence bowed slightly.

"Well, the next thing to talk about is the retreat. Also, how to appease those former lords is also a big problem. The Prime Minister spoke.

When it came to retreating, everyone's expressions were not very good.

Although everyone knows that the battle has been fought like this, there is no point in continuing it. But the thought of giving up such a vast territory during his tenure made everyone feel very aggrieved.

Unwilling!

There are still tens of thousands of troops, and they obviously own the floating city of Angusari, but they can only leave in disgrace!? It's a shame! Many people have a breath of fire in their hearts, but now they can only swallow this bitter fruit.
