A few days later, Striissa commanded Alpha's army in battle against the Shadow Army near Alpha's Imperial Capital, and relying on the healing powers of the Empress's favored Tree Elves, her army overpowered the Shadow Rebels with a great margin. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But the maggot-infested monsters of the shadowy rebels left her and her more than 100,000 soldiers with terrifying memories.

The combat effectiveness of these monsters is not very good, under normal circumstances, as long as there are three or four ordinary soldiers can solve them, and a slightly stronger soldier can almost single-handedly take on a large battalion of them. However, the terrifying thing about this monster is not their combat effectiveness.

Because the body is covered with maggots and a decaying corpse, when attacking the soldiers on Alpha's side, and when Alpha's elven soldiers wield their weapons against them, those abominable exorcisms will splash out, eating the elven soldier's body, causing it to bleed to death.

Moreover, this disgusting maggot will also multiply into new monsters on the corpses of dead elven soldiers.

It took a long battle before her army found a weakness in these maggots. They are afraid of fire, and once they get close to the flames, they will automatically flee from the soldier, allowing the hapless soldier to survive. But even if you find out the weakness of this disgusting maggot that is afraid of flames, these maggot monsters are not very easy to deal with.

Not to mention how many of Ifa's troops are in Alpha with torches and other things that are lit with flames, just asking soldiers to fight with torches is difficult for some strong elves. Having a soldier fight with a torch in one hand and a weapon in the other is basically the same as sending a soldier to death, knowing that the archers on the other side don't care if you have armor or a shield on your hand, they just shoot you with an arrow!

And selecting some soldiers and putting them in charge of running around with torches is not an option, and not to mention how efficient this can be, the mere possibility of disrupting the formation and cohesion of the battle is a headache for Strixissa.

As for magic...... There are few elves in the elven clan who learn fire magic, and basically all elven magicians learn the elemental magic of the three systems of wind, water, and earth. For the rest, all that remains is natural magic.

So that kind of monster had a very bad effect on Strilisa and her army. Let them destroy the shadowy rebels slowly, or even at all.

There is no way, time is dragged down day by day.

But on this very day, the Empress's messenger suddenly appeared on the battlefield and found her.

As soon as he saw this messenger who was gorgeously dressed and had no tension on his face to be on the battlefield, a sense of uneasiness appeared in Strilisa's heart. I don't know why, she feels that she is more than lucky this time.

"General Magkhara, the Empress is furious that the process of destroying the Shadowy Rebels is so slow!" Sitting in the chair of Strixa's headquarters, the Elven Empress's emissary said to Strixa with a non-smiling smile.

"The strength of the Shadow Rebels is not weak, and besides, they still have a lot of monsters that can cause heavy casualties to our army, so careful combat is the way to go! Rushing for success and profit will only bring very bad consequences to the Alpha Empire! Strixa disagrees with the metaphors in the Empress's emissary's words, and she argues to explain and refute the emissary.

Seeing that Strilisha had no intention of attacking the dark rebels in front, the envoy was slightly silent for a moment, and then smiled coldly and said, "Since the general is so ignorant, then don't blame me for not reminding you." ”

As she spoke, she handed over a secret order to General Strilisa, and then, in her despair, sneered: "This is Her Majesty's order, if General Magkara is not ready to attack the dark rebels in an all-out way, then remove them and put them in prison, and wait for the army to destroy the dark rebels, and then send them back to the imperial capital to wait for trial!" As for who will command the army, it will be me, of course, as a messenger! ”

"It can't be! I am Her Majesty's most trusted general, and there is no elf in the whole country who is more loyal to Her Majesty than me, how can she remove me for some reason? Hearing the messenger's words, Strixa suddenly shouted with great excitement.

However, two of her guards suddenly restrained her, leaving her with no way to continue resisting.

Such a scene made Strilisha even more stunned. First he wanted to remove himself from his position as a general, and now it was his own guards who betrayed him, what happened?

"General, don't think about it. Her Majesty has never considered you a confidant. Although you are small, you have repeatedly persuaded Your Majesty to do things that Your Majesty does not want to do, and over time, you will naturally lose Your Majesty's trust and tolerance for you. When Your Majesty can't bear it anymore, it is normal for you to fall from this son. Suppressing the ecstasy in his heart and his disdain for Strisa, the messenger sneered and said, "However, there is one more thing you have done wrong! ”

Strixa, who was pressed on the table of the command headquarters by two extremely powerful guards, glared at her eyes and asked angrily, "What? What else am I doing wrong?! ”

The messenger leaned down, gave a maniacal smile, and whispered in General Strixa's ear, "What did you do wrong?" Scold! Quite simply, because you have angered the tree elves of the Mandala tribe! ”

Hearing this, Strixisa was furious, and she struggled to break free from the control of her former guards, trying to kill the messenger in front of her, who was already in the same side as the tree elves in the mandala, and abandoned the interests of the empress.

However, in the end, she failed. Just as she was about to break free from the two guards, her lieutenant suddenly walked in and struck her in the back of the neck with a knife, knocking her unconscious.

Watching the two guards drag Strixisa away, who had already fainted, Strixa's former lieutenant, Velena Tusareksa said to the messenger who had taken command of Strixa's army, "Are we really going to side with the tree elves?" We chose seclusion before, which was a huge mistake. Those tree elves are not much less ambitious than they are! ”

The messenger glared at Velena and snorted coldly, "You've already done it, and you're still asking what you're doing?" ”

Velena, knowing that she was no longer qualified to ask about this, sighed slightly, and then asked, "So, what should we do now?" ”

"Do you need to ask? Naturally, it is to exterminate the dark rebels with all their might! Compared to Strilisa's caution, the messenger was a little bolder, at least she didn't take the gloom in her eyes until she had experienced the baptism of iron and blood, like most elven nobles who didn't take the dryads in their eyes.

Hearing the emissary's order, looking at the confidence on her face, Velena stood in place and stopped slightly, but soon she chose to leave, to gather the army, and prepare to attack the rebels of the Nether Church in front.

However, neither of them knew how great the real strength of the shadows was, and whether they could deal with these soldiers under their hands!

-----------------------------------

While Strilisa, the general of the Alpha Empire, was locked up in a filthy dungeon, waiting for the future of unknown knowledge, Lu Ming was lying on the bed in his room and falling asleep.

After confirming the acceptance of the Mandela tribe's Dryads, the Archduke Raels and Archduke Ferram, who were relatively close to this side, rushed to the city of Prasius a few days ago to discuss some specific matters with the Mandela tribe's Dryads, as well as persuade their tribe and other Dryad tribes who were friendly with their tribe to join the Mirakesar Kingdom.

In this way, after most of the work was taken away by these two Grand Dukes and the people around the two Grand Dukes, Lu Ming was now left with only the work of sending people to patrol Prasius City and study the plants in the bodies of the Phantom Archers.

But the problem is that these two jobs are not too important jobs, and the former one can be done by anyone, but it is just to let his knights walk around the city with the seeds blessed by the god Kaeya. And the latter one is completely difficult for a strong man, in an environment without any research equipment or professional tools, even if Lu Ming wants to study, there is not much to study.

So in the end, he simply chose to mess around, slept a lot, and threw the little work in his hand and the task of training the knights of Yugsotus to Kate and Chimera, Kemias, and did nothing himself.

But today, his good days are over......

After brushing it, the curtains of the room were opened, and the dazzling sunlight at noon suddenly hit Lu Ming's face, so that he had to cover his eyes with his hands in a daze to avoid his eyes being stung by the sun.

"Big lazy worm, get up!" Before Lu Ming could react, he heard a very familiar girl's voice, and then the hand he used to block the sun was grabbed by someone, and then with a plop, he was pulled from the bed to the ground.

"Pain, pain, pain, pain......" Covering his head that had hit the ground, Lu Ming cried out in pain and got up from the ground. That's when he realized that the woman who had the audacity to drag himself from the bed to the floor was Miral.

Looking at Miral, who was wearing a white dress, Lu Ming sat back on the bed, rubbed the place where he had hit, and asked, "The fortress has been built?" So fast? ”

"Can't I come back because the fortress hasn't been built yet?" Crawling onto the bed, Miral hugged him from behind Lu Ming, put his arms around his neck, and asked with a gentle smile but a little eerie.

"Nope! I didn't mean that......" Although I didn't know that Miral's resentment was so big, Lu Ming could only choose to beg for mercy in order to save his life.

Seeing that Lu Ming was a little frightened by himself, Miral couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at? Stupid girl. Lying gently in Miral's arms, Lu Ming stretched out his hand and touched Miral's face, and asked with a smile.

"Laugh at you~" Miral hugged Lu Ming and said with a smile.

"Stupid girl." Hearing this, Lu Ming couldn't help but laugh and scold, and then he asked again: "Say, is there something wrong with you?" ”

"Actually, here's the thing. One evening three days ago, I was bored at the site of the rebuilding fortress of Baharet, so I took the knights of the guard to hunt nearby, only to catch several elven deserters. According to them, they were soldiers of one of the two guards on the side of the Alpha Imperial Capital, and they escaped because the casualties were too fierce with the Hidden Men. ”

"They are lying, no matter what happens inside Alpha, there is no way that they, as the Guard, will escape to the vicinity of enemy-occupied territory!"

"That's right! That's what I thought. So I had them tortured, and that's when they told the truth. It turned out that the reason why they fled was not because of the civil war between Alpha and the Shadows, but because they received news that there were elves who wanted to deal with their generals, thus taking the entire Guards into their pockets! ”

"When the foreign war is counterattacked, and there is internal strife, so the elves still want to fight for power?" Listening to Miral's words, Lu Ming asked in disbelief.

In his opinion, at this time, the Alpha Empire should at least deal with the Netherworld Church wholeheartedly, not to mention that they should repel these Mirakaisa, right? But any normal country can't think about fighting for power and profit at this time, right? There is such a big problem in the country!

However, Miral's next answer made him understand all this.

"At any given time, there will be people who will fight for power. And these people don't care whether the country is stable or not, whether the land is still vast! This kind of thing that is still fighting for power and profit when there are internal and external troubles is not uncommon in Pulu! ”

'Why is it not just in Pulu?' Is it all the same everywhere? Lu Ming, who remembered the history of his true hometown, couldn't help but complain in his heart.

However, he didn't plan to ask anything more about this matter, and this tacit understanding between the husband and wife kept reminding him that he couldn't ask any more. Otherwise, there is a feeling of wanting to take credit.

And, at this moment, he just wanted to indulge in the gentle countryside of Miral, and he didn't want to extricate himself.

Unfortunately, Winsland suddenly appeared at this warm and happy moment and forcibly snatched Miral away from him, much to his annoyance.

"Hey, hey, hey! Even if you're an earl, you can't rob other people's wives like this, can you? ”

Winsland turned his head and glared at Lu Ming, and said angrily: "There are some things that Miral has not finished talking about, and the Grand Dukes asked her to go over and explain it clearly." ”

Seeing that Winsland's face was full of heavy color, Lu Ming immediately thought of a very bad thing, immediately put on his clothes, and prepared to go with Winsland and Miral to meet the Grand Dukes, and at the same time asked Winsland: "Did those deserters bite Miral?" ”

"Almost, they say they are peasants who have been captured by Miral's men and forcibly branded as deserters!"

Lu Ming's question to Winsland startled Miral, and Winsland's answer scared her even more, and she was almost about to fall. But at this time, Lu Ming suddenly spoke.

"Humph! That's a nice thing to say. I'd like to see if it's the soul who dares to play this trick! Unlike others, Lu Ming trusted Miral very much, and knew that Miral could not lie. So he wouldn't suspect Miral, he would only think that it was those deserters who bit Miral back. And that's exactly what happened......

Hearing Lu Ming's words, Miral's hanging heart slowly relaxed, and he followed Lu Ming very calmly to the place where the grand dukes were.
