Chapter 109: Goals
The picture returns to Zhao Xin.
"What...... You ......"
Running on a completely empty road, Darius noticed that Zhao Xin, who was following him, suddenly stopped, although his physical fitness seemed to be good, but in front of the active duty soldiers, was it still a little worse? Darius also stopped, walked to Zhao Xin's side, lowered his head and asked, "Do you feel tired?" Can you keep up? ”
"Ah...... Well, I don't have a problem, let's move on. ”
"The manor is safe now, I'm investigating LeBlanc and Canin's movements to keep myself safe, and I'll contact you later."
This is the communication information that Zhao Xin got from Xiu, Zhao Xin felt a little worried about the prince's approach, in the face of these two great demon masters who were even more powerful than him, was there really no problem with Xiu? Not only that, but he also knew that he had a huge strength gap with those three people, and the greatest help he could do was to "ensure his own safety" as stated in the order.
"Really? Let's go. "Fortunately, Darius didn't notice Zhao Xin's surprised self-talk when he received the order, he was very satisfied with Zhao Xin's treatment, in fact, Zhao Xin just used a small magic for him to speed up recovery, just because of Darius's strong physical fitness, this wound is almost completely healed, although this is not good news for the current situation, but it can restore a lot of morale, under this small encouragement/one/book/read/novel ybdu, Darius was back to the brigadier general who was at the front of the charge, and while he was thinking about what to do next, he thought about the young man next to him, and it was quite good for a marginal person to be able to use this level of magic, should he be taken in as his ...... subordinate?
The two of them ran in the dark night with their own thoughts, except for the light of the street lamp, there was no light in the starry sky tonight, and the two who did not have much intersection were also silent for a while, finally, the city wall outside the city of Isern came into the eyes of the two, because it was not a border area, and the city's defenses here were not so strong, and it looked quite thin, it was time to say goodbye to this man, since the doubts in his heart had been solved, Zhao Xin had no reason to continue to have anything to do with him, He just wanted to act according to the prince's orders as soon as possible, and then return to Demacia to resume his life, but after seeing the scene here, Zhao Xin had to temporarily change this plan.
The fighting has stopped, and while it seems to be true on the surface, in reality, more weapons and personnel are being moved here, and the medical mages are treating the wounded in all their might, and it won't take much time for them to continue to return to the battlefield, and the location near the city gate is now crowded with soldiers, as if they are preparing for a larger battle.
"General!"
At this time, a high-ranking magician came out of the crowd, he was Darius's subordinate, and when he saw the general appear, he immediately stepped forward and called out to him, and after briefly explaining the current situation, Darius also probably understood what was happening: although the two sides had ostensibly stopped fighting, but Canin and LeBlanc had never let their guard down, not only the defenders were mobilizing more men, but now the number of Black Rose outside the city was also increasing, and both sides knew very well that once the high-level meeting did not reach an agreement, Then now it is just the calm before the big war, and it is impossible for both sides to put themselves at a disadvantage in this tense moment of preparation, so there is the current scene.
"I don't think it's a wise choice to go out of the city now, you may not have anything to do with this battle, but the other side doesn't think so, until there is further news, please stay here."
The magician gave the wisest advice, although this is not what Zhao Xin wants to do now, but the current situation is true, he nodded silently, and Darius did not stop, he waved his hand to Zhao Xin, and left here with his subordinates.
"General, is this your friend?" It was rare for the magician who had followed Darius for many years to see him care so much about a person, and when he asked if he could send the boy home, he even wondered for a moment if he had misheard.
"Hmm...... Uh, sort of, let's not talk about that, Black Rose is okay here for the time being, have those people sent by the nobles solved it now, and where are our people? “
"The local defenders are tracking those people, there should be no problem, our brothers are not involved in the frontal battle, and now they are all here waiting for the next instructions, what do you want to do?"
It is impossible for the magician not to know that this is the general is perfunctory, but he will not say anything, after a light wave of his hand, a three-dimensional map drawn with magic appeared in front of his eyes, this is the first-hand data obtained from the magic radar, on the map, each side of the force is additionally marked, it can be seen that almost the vast majority of the defenders are gathered on the western edge of the city, like a second barrier stationed inside the city wall, and outside the city gate, the number of black roses may be even more, inside the city, A small force was chasing another group of people, and the focus of the conflict was entirely on the edge of the city, with no ordinary citizens affected by the conflict.
Should this be called lucky or deliberate? Darius couldn't help but wonder if the masterminds of this battle wanted to try to overthrow the military's rule over Noxus, so they did it? Darius paused and looked at the map carefully, the total number of combatants, the location and armament of the personnel, and the intentions of the other side...... He carefully tried to analyze the current situation using the knowledge that Svein had taught him, at least for the time being, the divisions of the personnel on both sides were fairly even, and neither side had a clear advantage, no matter how strong Black Rose was, all they had was a numerical advantage, in terms of the configuration of weapons and equipment......
Configuration......
"How many of the defenders are there in the city of Ethern, and how many have been summoned here now?"
"Hey......? The total number of defenders is 9,000, and a total of 7,000 have been called up here, with many more being sent here. Noticing a slight change in Darius's expression, the magician replied immediately.
"There are many more ......? Are they all gathered here? In other words, the city is already empty? “
"Hmm...... That's right. “
