Chapter 108: Betrayal

harm

Xia Han might hurt Wujian again, and he hesitated a little in his heart.

But originally it was a guess whether Wujian was the princess of the orc clan, and no one knew whether she regarded the orcs as her own clan, and Xia Han had no reason to change his approach because of a guess - he still had to return to the country, and he had no other way to go except this road.

Xia Han didn't change his direction, but this thought also cast a shadow on him.

The others didn't wonder at his look, they took it for granted that Xia Han was sad for his parents' story, but how could Xia Han be sad for two people who had never even met each other?

Soon, he cheered up and asked the communications officer to open up contact with Xia Jun: a rudimentary hall phantom appeared on the back of a turtle, and Xia Yun and several commanders stood opposite.

"I've seen Your Majesty!"

"Where's Ji Bai?" Xia Han didn't see Ji Bai's figure, Xia Yun walked to the front, saluted and replied: "He went to check the preparations, if Your Majesty has any orders, I can inform him on his behalf." ”

Xia Han was just curious, the task of preparing to send troops had been issued two days ago, and he didn't need to look for Ji Bai now.

"We should arrive in the Emerald City tomorrow morning." Xia Han instructed Xia Yun, "You can launch an attack tonight." ”

During this time, the Xia army had been attacking Emerald City in a small area, and they had captured an island, but they had not yet launched a full-scale attack. Xia Han asked the Xia army to set off at night, and the support of the Jingxue clan could arrive the next morning, taking advantage of the orc's unpreparedness.

"Okay, Your Majesty" Xia Yun responded, but his face was hesitant, as if he had something to say.

Xia Han couldn't help but be curious: "What's the matter with you?" ”

"Hmm." Xia Yun nodded and replied with a little solemnity: "Our spies reported that the orcs of Emerald City have been evacuating since this morning, and I suspect that there is some conspiracy in it. ”

Xia Han was shocked in his heart, it was definitely not a coincidence that the orcs had evacuated at the time when they were about to attack!

"Where are they retreating?"

"Withdraw from the Emerald City and leave in the direction of the Dawn Meadow"

Xia Yun's answer made Xia Han feel a little ridiculous, could it be that the orcs were avoiding them? Why?

"Who is the evacuee?"

"The army in the city has not changed much, and most of the people who have withdrawn are young and past the prime of life, as if they were destined to lose this battle and evacuate the civilians."

Xia Han was silent when he heard this, which seemed normal, the orcs knew that there was a possibility of a fiasco, so they moved the civilians away, which was also a manifestation of their focus on the west side of the Dawn Grassland. Emerald City doesn't mean much to the orcs, and it's not the capital built by the orcs themselves, so they don't have to care about it like humans.

And even if the Xia army occupies the Emerald City, there is a forest ahead, and it is easy to be contained. But are the orcs really avoiding their edge? After thinking about it, Xia Han felt that this possibility was also possible. The orcs put all their strength on the west side, planning to reflexively slash after fighting with Bai Hui, and then they could encroach on the Xia army.

However, what he was not sure about was whether this was an ordinary evacuation work of the orcs. The Beast Clan has already invested too many troops in the west and the Vermilion Bird Continent, and there are not many troops left, and the people stationed in the Emerald City Defense were originally scheduled to deal with the Xia Army, which is more than enough, but who would have thought that the Crystal Snow Clan would join in before the Xia Army launched an attack?

The defeat of Crystal Snow Mountain affected the layout of the beast clan.

The orcs evacuated civilians not out of fear, but for protection. The Jingxue clan joined the Xia army, and the victory or defeat of the Emerald City could not be estimated, but the orcs could see that this war would be extremely tragic. So they have to move civilians away to reduce casualties, but the army is no less at all.

Xia Han thought about it for half a minute before he came to this conclusion.

It's not that he's not clever enough, but because the premise of this correct conclusion is that the great victory of the Crystal Snow Mountain that he induced completely exceeded the plan made by the orcs. This premise requires that one's own evaluation be improved, and in many cases, it is taboo to improve one's own evaluation, and it is not afraid of being killed by others, but is afraid of being killed by oneself.

"It's okay, it's going to be fine." After coming to a conclusion, Xia Han opened his mouth to appease Xia Yun's worries: "If it's a trap, even if the Emerald City is filled with bombs, we can identify it in advance, so it doesn't matter." ”

He has the old woman and the master craftsmen of the Jingxue clan by his side, and the engineering trap naturally can't hide it from them, as well as Fiona, a legendary mage, and the orcs who want to set up a large-scale damage spell in the Emerald City will also be discovered.

Xia Han couldn't have fallen into the trap.

"Understood." Xia Yun breathed a sigh of relief, but then she heard Xia Han's other words: "You let the others out, I have something I want to tell you alone." ”

In the shadow, the young man's beautiful face did not reveal anything he wanted to say.

Xia Yun followed the order and drove the others out, and accepted Xia Han's conversation with trepidation, but he didn't expect him to tell her about the traitor as soon as he opened his mouth.

Half an hour later, the communication ended, and Xia Jun's council hall walked into the other commanders one after another.

"Your Highness, is there anything Your Majesty is looking for you alone?" The man in the cloak asked her.

Xia Yun turned around, looked at him and sighed: "Do you remember the female elf I asked you to follow nine years ago, do you think about who else can recognize her appearance, the stalker sent out by my father back then, is there still a fish that slipped through the net." ”

The man was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and thought for a while: "I remember that there was a knight who pretended to be dead and alive, and he now seems to be serving under Lord Ji Bai." ”

"Knight?" Xia Yun muttered a sentence and walked past the cloaked man.

"You're still going to lie to me at this time!"

There was a crisp sound, and the man's neck was grazed by a long sword, and he held the dagger to block the edge in time, and narrowly missed the severe.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, this is what His Majesty told you?" The man jumped, dodged the sword, and asked, "He told you I was a traitor?" ”

Xia Yun raised his sword again: "Yes, he saw through your disguise. ”

Neither of them knew that Xia Han could distinguish between good intentions and bad intentions by using the image of communication, and the man had just appeared in the image with the other commanders. So Xia Han saw through him, but in the hearts of these two people, Xia Han at this time seemed extremely mysterious.

"He is indeed very smart, he has been terrifyingly smart since nine years ago" The man sighed, his voice coldened: "He is simply a demon who has survived many deaths, taking away your throne and my guardian mark. ”

Xia Yun took a breath: "So, you want to betray him?" ”

"Yes, that's right!" The man raised his head, his eyes under the cloak shone with a scorching light, and he looked at Xia Yun: "This country should belong to Your Highness, I have watched Your Highness grow up little by little, and I know how much you have paid for this country." ”

"I'm not reconciled, I must not let him snatch away the glory that belongs to you!"
