421 Inherent X Weakness (5)

Hearing this statement from the duke, the officers around him were silent

"Fortunately, they are still a group of civilians and a group of mages in their bones." As if sensing that the atmosphere was not very good, the Duke changed his story. "The desperate fight is carried out in the form of 'experiment'."

"That's right, if they concentrate all their forces on us... Or if we came to attack the assembled soldiers during the previous assembly, we should all be in prison by now. The first officer said. They were not warriors, and even less nobles. ”

"So, it's going to be us who wins." The Duke looked at him, then at the other three, and said. "We are the ones who have survived countless life-and-death struggles."

As he spoke, he raised his right hand and looked at the bone at the place of his ring finger. "We, both warriors and nobles, are born noble and proud."

"Born noble, born proud!" Several officers on the side shouted at the same time.

"Since our ancestors, we have fought on the battlefield again and again. It was only after they survived countless desperate battles that they gained power and status. After that, they passed on their accumulated experience, wisdom, and pride to us. ”

"So we know how to win on the battlefield. When to send out guards to appease and arrest, when to assemble troops for a life-and-death fight, when to compromise, make concessions, and win over allies, and when to cut down the roots and leave no --- behind, these are all things that only a true aristocrat can understand. ”

"Yes, that's it."

"You're absolutely right."

Several officers agreed at the same time. Then Duke Lucier continued.

"They, even if they have made progress in the study of magic, have mastered several powerful magics.... But in their bones, they are still small citizens who have eaten the last meal but not the next. Seeing that some nobles have fallen, they think that all nobles are not their opponents. Scold! Whether it is the Saidosili family who has gone down the evil path, or the Morris family who can only boast verbally, what qualifications can be compared to us, the powerful Lucier family!? ”

"That's right!" The second officer's voice was filled with excitement. "Only you can remain silent after the defeat of the Demon Breakers, and then unite with the other nobles. When the enemy's attention is attracted by them, then win over the noble members of the mage group, and finally take out this greatly enhanced sword of punishment and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop! ”

"It must be us and you who win the final victory!"

His voice grew high-pitched and excited. After that, several other officers expressed similar opinions.

"Definitely!"

"It's definitely us!"

As they spoke, they each stretched out their hands and folded them together. After that, Duke Lucier also put his hand on it.

"It's more than that." After putting his hand on it, the Duke said. "We will definitely be able to follow the prophesied direction, solve the curse on our bodies, and change back to the way we were!"

I don't know why, after Yuan Sen heard him say this, he suddenly had a strange feeling.

It seems like... It was as if the distance between the duke, though his hands were with the rest of the officers, and though he was talking about getting close to them and drawing them in, was very far away.

Solidify and fade.

Carl stood there, looking at the crystal ball in front of him.

"They've expanded the scope of the experiment." On the side, LeVert said. "In a few moments, mages from other regions may attack us with people."

"It's hard for us to do it." Carr said. "Both the Morris family and the Saidosili family lost. The magic of Hallwick.... Why didn't the duke give the order to retreat as soon as possible? ”

Hearing this, LeVert did not object, but sighed.

"Why don't we reach out to him?"

"I've been in contact several times before." Carr said. "It's all failed. Unable to determine the location of the other party .... Perhaps, the dukes they were also caught. ”

"Really?" LeVert looked left and right. "So what do we do?"

"I don't know." Carr said. "We received an order to attack this area. But now...."

"Why don't we retreat first?" LeVert said softly. "Save your strength and come back later to avenge the Duke and them?"

"We have to obey orders." Carr said. "We can't leave without an order to retreat."

"Why are you so rigid?" LeVert said anxiously. "Hurry up with power..."

"This time, it would have been a fool's act to challenge the mage group. When the nobles are strong, the nobles are in power. Now that the mages have become stronger, isn't it normal for them to come to power? ”

"Maybe." Carl said.

"You've been beaten and captured by Harwick before. Didn't he put you back too? LeVert said. It can be seen that even if the mages are in power, it will not do anything to everyone. ”

"It could be so." Carr said.

"In that case, if we escape, they will definitely not pursue us." LeVert said. "Now escape to a safe place first, and when this incident is over, you can slowly find the weaknesses of the mages--- they will definitely have weaknesses."

"Escape, where do you put the honor of the warrior?" Carl looked at him.

"I'm not a fighter." LeVert said. "I've been a mage for a long time. You're not a soldier either, and the patrol isn't a soldier. ”

"The change of position will not affect my status." Carr said. "And I swore allegiance to Duke Lucil until this body could no longer move."

LeVert looked at him and sighed deeply. "So, is it honorable to ignore the kindness of Halwick who defeated you and let you back?"

"I will repay this kindness in a way that does not violate the honor." Carl said. "If he defeats the dukes and then asks me to surrender, I will agree."

"But you won't leave?" LeVert shook his head. "You're really..."

"We simply have nowhere to go." Carl said. "Outside the castle, if there is a herd of beasts, how can we deal with it?"

LeVert looked at him and was silent for a moment.

"That is to say...."

"What?" Carl looked at him.

"I roughly see what you mean," he said, looking at Carl. Do you think that if Harwick sends men to fight and defeat us, the most it will be to surrender again; And if you leave, it may be more dangerous outside--- is this your 'honor'? ”
