Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info"Perhaps I should ask the haughty Countess Trinath for some more...... Damn, the mainland should legislate to hang all bastards who sell false information, who told me that Leo is just a foreign nobleman, I'm afraid the ten dukes' guards together can't compare to the three knights around him! ”

Hiding in a shallow, weathered cavern, Marcel looked at the bubbling soup pot with the pungent smell of medicine, and at this thought, his fingers inadvertently ran over the tightly wrapped wound in his abdomen......

In the space of ten days, Marcel, who refused to give up, or had never experienced defeat, patiently found five chances again, five opportunities for close assassination, perfect disguise, long lurk, etc., he used almost all his strength and skills, but unfortunately, the best result was only a faint scar on Leo's shoulder......

This made the extremely proud Marcel in his heart suffer an extremely heavy blow, although the other party did not have the ability to capture him for the time being, but many assassination failures have made him have a trace of cracks and loopholes in his heart

Regardless of the heat, he gulped down the bitter and earthy green medicinal juice in front of him, and licked his lips Marcel secretly ruthlessly

"If it doesn't work five times, it will be ten times, and if it doesn't work ten times, it will be fifty times, the number one assassin in the continent who has never missed a move must not be folded here, I don't believe that those three knights can follow Leo for long without leaving!"

Marcel, who unconsciously got into the tip of the bull's horns, had no other thoughts in his mind at this time, what money and time, and only wanted to separate the victory and defeat with Leo or Leo's guards, how long will this game of cat and mouse last? At least for a long time, he won't think about it, so most successful people have something in common in every aspect - stubbornness!

He didn't know that Leo was also irritating and complaining about everything he had caused......

"I have to say, if Rolf had done it, he did make a good move, and this damn tiresome assassin almost single-handedly messed up everything, alone! Just one person has made our knights and soldiers nervous, and every companion around him has a scrutinizing gaze, and not only that, but he has successfully restrained my three most powerful knight leaders, what can I do now? Send him a certificate? ”

With neat hair already disheveled, and two dark circles under his eyes, Leo was like a porcupine with his tail trampled on, waving his arms behind his back and walking frantically back and forth in the tent, and the pace was so fast that Professor Pericles was dizzy

"Tell me what you can do...... My dear friends, the armies of our enemies Rolf and the Pope will arrive here in three days at most, and no more than three days at most, and we have no clue about this fly, will you let one of my three strongest knights remain with me in the most crucial battle......

In the silence, Finn, who was still most familiar with Leo's character, broke the deadlock first, poured a cup of hot black tea and handed it over before he opened his mouth to persuade

"Your Highness, being too impatient will not solve any problems, perhaps your current state is what our enemies want to see and rejoice, your safety is our most important thing at all times, and in my opinion there is nothing comparable to it, besides...... I wounded him with my own hands in that assassination attempt three days ago, and with this Assassin's personality who seems to strive for perfection in everything, he probably won't act again until heals from his injuries......"

For Finn, the most loyal Grand Master, Leo couldn't get angry at all, took a sip of black tea and barely calmed down, and asked uncertainly

"So what do you mean? Do we have enough time to finish this war? ”

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Finn didn't know how to answer Leo's question, and it was difficult for him to determine how much the sword itself would do, according to the assassin's skill......

"It's hard, Your Highness! So before you finish off this fly, it's the same sentence, you must have one of the three of us by your side whenever and wherever you are, and for that...... For this reason, even if you lose this war, you must not have any accidents! ”

Finn's categorical conclusion made Leo change his color a little, but to his surprise, everyone in the tent, including Al, did not have any dissatisfaction or disbelief in this sentence......

**********************

The royal clover flag, which once represented endless majesty, now hung weakly on the gold-inlaid oak flagpole, and the knights of the Guards holding the flagpole had long since lost their former haughty look, their towering cheekbones and shriveled cheeks seemed to silently tell the hardships of the journey, and their dull eyes were hollow and numb, and there was no trace of hope in sight

The luxury of the car has long been abandoned and only the horses used to pull the cart are left, fortunately, no matter how strong the wall is clear, the food for the horses is quite sufficient, except for the loss of some fat, nothing else is a big deal, as for the beans that have been used as an additive? When people can't eat enough, who can care about war horses......

Riding on a tall and docile white horse, Rolf barely swallowed a small half of the dry bread that he would never have looked at before with some muddy water, and smashed his mouth with a sigh of relief, as if his taste buds were feeding back the taste of the finest lamb chops, and carefully licked the crumbs from his fingertips, and waved his hand to Saru beside him

"Give the soldiers a rest, tell them we're about to reach our destination, that damned Leo with tens of thousands of remnants who are no better than us, less than two days away from us, kill him and take everything from him, and everyone can go home safely...... Other than that...... Let the Knights of Glory work harder, search the surrounding area carefully, and collect everything that can be used as food......"

Nodding slightly, Saru was now also avoiding all movements that consumed physical strength, and after turning around to arrange the emperor's latest order, he suggested in a slightly pleading tone

"In that case, Your Majesty, we still have some food left, you see?"

Sighing weakly, the sun in the sky struggling to radiate heat made Rolf lick his parched lips again

"Send it all down, make sure that every soldier gets some, and the knights can have more, as for the stupid nobles like pigs...... Let them endure for two days, I can't let a group of soldiers go to death on an empty stomach! ”

Looking back at the army that had shrunk by nearly half, Saru's heart suddenly swelled with a sad emotion, and he didn't say anything more, and after saluting, he brought the reins of his horse to arrange this matter in person, there is no way that any bit of food can cause unpredictable consequences now, and there must be a powerful person in charge

Sure enough, it didn't take much time to learn the news, and there was a commotion and low cheers among the army...... Of course, there are also aristocrats who want to express their dissatisfaction with their own status, and you must know that the last thing that is lacking in any era is the fool who can never see the situation clearly

"Your Majesty, why can't we noble gentlemen get today's rations, but those lowly soldiers can, know that the nobles are your ......"

"Enough! Shut up! ”

It was still the fat pig-like duke, and he waved his hands excitedly to express his protest in front of Rolf, but his shriveled stomach now made his protest a little weak

After drinking the duke's roar, Rolf felt a tightness in his chest, and gasped for a long time before he said in disgust

"Bear with me for two days, if you don't want to die here, we're nothing without soldiers, let alone win this war...... Which of you didn't have food that you had secretly hidden? Hmph, don't challenge my intellect and patience, my Lord Duke! ”

……

Peeking at Rolf, seeing that His Majesty did not mean to continue the investigation, the fat duke wisely interrupted the topic, only to see him straighten his clothes, staring at his eyes that seemed to be much larger because of his emaciation, and said in a tone that seemed to be suggestive

"Your Majesty, with all due respect, I'm afraid that you and your commander have made a mistake, after the capture of the Grey Keep, we could have avoided today's predicament, why did we have to chase this enemy army, why couldn't we go directly to Leo's city, if you had asked me at that time, we could have sat in the warm halls of Stormwind City and drank fine red wine, instead of being no different from a wild man like now!"

"Are you an idiot?"

As soon as Saru, who had overseen the distribution of food, rode back from his horse, he heard the fat duke's remarks, and before Rolf could speak, he pointed his finger at the other party and shouted mercilessly

"Feel free to die if you want, but don't drag Your Majesty and our army to the storm? To put it simply, let's not mention how many troops Leo left in his old nest, just the twenty-meter-high city wall and the city guards all over the city wall, how many soldiers and knights' lives are you going to fill it? Don't forget that I've been to Storm myself, and it's definitely not a city that can be captured in a hurry or in a short time! ”

"So what, we still had more than 200,000 soldiers at that time, even if we used a pile of people, we could flood the city wall, don't tell my Excellency Saru, you have begun to sympathize with and care about the casualties of those lowly soldiers!"

Not seeing Rolf's increasingly ugly face, the Duke refused to back down, and shouted at Saru with mockery

Finding that more and more knights and soldiers around him had noticed this, Rolf, who was already irritable and sensitive, could no longer bear it, raised his hand and slapped the fat duke hard, reached out and rudely pulled the other party's collar, and yelled almost face to face

"You filthy fat pig, don't forget that if it weren't for these so-called lowly soldiers you would have been fertilizer in the jungle a month ago, what kind of wisdom would you have used to attack the storm with your fat brain? And then after a long attack, after suffering heavy casualties, it was surrounded by Leo from behind? Do you want my great Emperor to be a prisoner of that hillbilly or die here, huh? ”

"I ...... That was not what I meant...... His Majesty...... Your Majesty......"

Pushing away the trembling duke, Rolf ordered Saru directly without looking at the other party

"Keep the nobles under centralized custody, no one is allowed to approach the command center without my permission, and inform Nathaniel that we need to communicate in advance for the next battle!"

**********************

Whether it was Leo, who was overwhelmed by Marcel, or Rolf, who gritted his teeth and insisted that victory was ultimately his own, neither of them expected and could not know before this final battle that a black plague was beginning to show its hideous face from the west of the empire and began to spread rapidly......

Riding on a tall warhorse covered in pitch-black armor, Rhodes ripped off his armor and slashed down the terrifying greatsword in his hand as the thousands of stunned and chaotic armies and the magnificent city that belonged to a certain duke behind them

"Charge, take out these cowardly humans...... From this moment on, this continent will surely tremble at the feet of adults! ”
