======================================================================

Jerry had just returned to the Imperial Capital when he was taken to the palace by Shagru's envoy. The haggard Shagru grabbed the small scepter in his hand in a daze, and said in a low voice: "Jerry, are the four legions gone? Gaddafi was also killed? Even the twelve great knights of the Knights of Glory were seriously injured? and even said that because their injuries were caused by the secret law of the underworld, so that the mages of the 'Divine City' could not let them heal quickly? The command of the Glory Knights is now in the hands of a little girl?"

Shagru's voice was deep, his pace was slow, and his expression was dark. His body, which was originally quite majestic, now looked like a stallion that had been castrated and not well cared for, and the whole thing was suspended, and his broad shoulders had been drooped, as if his whole skeleton had been loose and collapsed in one night. The eyes that were originally divine and could unleash deadly electric sparks at countless beauties have turned into a pair of dust-stained glass balls, without any light in them.

Compared to Shagru, Prince Andrei, who was sitting next to him, was much more radiant. The exaggerated robe shimmered in the gloomy hall, the small crown on the top of the head, the fist-sized diamond on the top was dancing like a flame, and the ten fingers were densely packed with more than thirty precious rings, which felt like the fist gloves of the most defensive full-body plate armor. On the fat and greasy face, the two mouse eyes blinked at Jerry, flashing with a hint of curiosity and a little hope.

Jerry didn't notice Prince Andre, he just saw Shagru's gloomy look, and couldn't help but feel sour, and knelt on the ground and said astringently: "Your Majesty, I'm really sorry... We have lived up to the expectations of the Empire, we ... If I had stayed in the Iron Fort at that time, perhaps Lord Gaddafi would not have insisted on leading his troops out. But... ”

Shagru didn't speak, and André said in a dragon bell: "Enough, enough, General Jerry, anything else is empty." After all, General Gaddafi, who claims to be the most loyal to our royal family, has been killed, and seven of our most elite legions have been sent to the Iron Fort line, but four have now been annihilated by the enemy. In any case, the ineffective operation of the front-line commanders, this is certain, and someone must be responsible. ”

Shagru bit his lip and looked at Jerry with ghostly eyes, but didn't speak. And Andrei gushed endlessly: "According to Your Majesty's will, the reward for Jerry is because of your previous combat achievements, but this reward is not directly and practically awarded to you, that is because you must bear some responsibility for the defeat in this battle." It must be reviewed by the military department, and if there are no problems with your command of the battle, then you will be given the title of duke. ”

Jerry was stunned, he raised his head, shouldn't these opinions be issued by Shagru himself? A prince of the empire, no matter how lofty his position is, there is no reason for him to participate in such military affairs. But how did Jerry know that since he knew that the four legions had fallen, Shagru's whole spirit almost collapsed, and his uncle Prince Andre just took advantage of the situation to give him advice, and those ideas were extremely proper, so that Shagru was relieved to delegate many important powers to Andrei's hands.

As far as today's meeting with Jerry is concerned, Shagru will never believe that Ray will betray him, because he can see that Ray has no ambition, and Ray has a simple love for the people of the Empire, how could he do such a thing of colluding with the enemy to frame his comrades? And Gaddafi, that rude old man, is also known to everyone in the Empire for his loyalty to the imperial family, not to mention that he has died on the battlefield, and in any case, Gaddafi should not be blamed.

Then, among the three commanders on the front line, the only one who should be responsible for this defeat is the only one who is responsible for this defeat, after the hint of Prince Andrei, Shagru also believes that only Jerry is left. In Shagru's mind, Ray and Gaddafi are both brave and unscrupulous generals, although Jerry is a little weaker in combat power, but his mind should be useful, then Jerry must be responsible for most of the battle plans, so this fiasco, if you have to find a scapegoat, Jerry will not be able to escape no matter what.

And emotionally, Shagru is also more inclined to convict Jerry. Although Jerry has made a lot of contributions before, Jerry is not as important as Ray and Gaddafi in his heart. The reason why when the messenger went to the front line to deliver the order, first sealed Jerry and then asked him to return to the imperial capital, was because he was afraid that Jerry would rebel with the legions he mastered at the front. Now that Jerry has honestly returned to the imperial capital, then it is time to start reviewing him.

Jerry heard the taste that was not quite right in Andre's mouth, and he quickly raised his head and said, "But Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the defeat in this battle is entirely because... ”

Andrei shouted violently: "Nonsense, do you, as the commander in charge of the front, still have to find reasons for the defeat of the war? As a general of the Vat Empire, victory is victory, defeat is defeat, where is there such wordy? Do you still want to tell me that someone is still responsible for this incident? How can this be reasonable, don't always think about putting your own guilt on the heads of others. As a knight of the Empire, don't you have such an awareness?"

Jerry stared at Shagru blankly, he suddenly understood that Andre was going to exonerate Oliver, so he didn't know what kind of nonsense he used to coax Shagru's trust. However, although Jerry understands this, there is nothing he can do to get out of the current disadvantage, because he is only a courtier of Shagru, and Andre is Shagru's uncle. Even, he Jerry is not an important courtier in the entire empire, although he is one of the three front-line commanders, but what the Van Empire has never lacked is elite soldiers, unless it is a perverted super general like Lei or a super general like Gaddafi who is deeply trusted by the royal family, no one can be replaced.

There will always be people who are responsible for the defeat, and it seems that in order to keep his cronies, in order to avoid being impeached in the Senate for abusing the power of the prince, Andrei is pure to sacrifice himself. Originally, too, among the nobles, there were always people who were unlucky without realizing it. He is not Andrei's cronies, there is no need for him to protect himself. At the same time, he is not a duke now, and even in his own family, he is just an outstanding third-generation son, and his weight in the family is not as important as those uncles who have mastered some official positions and power in the imperial capital.

Jerry was dumbfounded, Andre's words had already been put there, and if he said anything else, he would really have to give Shagru such a bad impression, as if he was so greedy for life and afraid of death that he didn't dare to be responsible. For the honor of knighthood and the pride of being a nobleman, Jerry stood up calmly and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I have nothing to explain. I voluntarily accept the investigation of the military department, and from now on, I will voluntarily remove the command of the two major army corps on the front line, and all the command powers, I will go to the military headquarters to formally hand over to General Lei... My thousand knights, I'll put them in the garrison camp, and I'm not going to let them do strange things. ”

Shagru's heart moved slightly, he nodded slowly, and said in a soft voice: "Jerry Qing, don't be too sad, this tragic defeat has shocked the Imperial Noble Senate, and the elders have put a lot of pressure on the royal family, and those responsible must be thoroughly investigated." Therefore, I can only be temporarily wronged. But as long as Qing is innocent, I will make amends to Qing... At the same time, I hope that Qing understands that in extraordinary times, the fiasco on the front line is absolutely not allowed to leak a word. ”

After being silent for a while, Shagru contradictively untied a large cross eagle medal of honor on his chest, handed it to the guards next to him and sent it to Jerry's hand: "Qing, I have always fought bravely, I am very relieved, and I don't believe that Qing will make such an outrageous mistake." Uncle Huang ordered the military department to thoroughly investigate everything within ten days and return his innocence... Jerry, you should go to your own house and have a good report on the results of our army on the front, well, the officials of the State Department will accompany the Secretary to meet with the ambassadors of various countries, and the Secretary may wish to exaggerate the results of our empire a little. ”

Jerry was stunned, staring blankly at Shagru, exaggerating his exploits? But Andre gritted his teeth and said: "Damn, that damn dead demon Karin actually told us that he used the entire treasury of their Smart Empire to bribe the dragons and the humans of our continent to sign a peace agreement, and promised to send troops to attack the criminals on our behalf." But what did he say that the treasury of their Smart Empire had been completely depleted, and they still owed a huge amount of treasure to the dragons, and asked all of our six countries to donate jewels worth 10 billion to 50 billion gold coins... Damn it. ”

Shagru also frowned: "Now that the military expenditure is huge, the five billion gold coins are really not available for a while, and the Smart Empire is in a hurry, they are purely using the dragon clan to intimidate us." So Jerry Qing needs to exaggerate our results, and we use this to negotiate with them, and try to reduce the share we are asking for... Carlin, who is quite capable, can actually buy the dragon clan, but the price is too great. However, as long as it can eliminate the sinners, it will be worth it. ”

Jerry was stunned, he didn't expect such a strange change to happen. However, with his understanding of Carlin's guy, the amount of compensation proposed by the Smart Empire seems to be too much, right? If according to Carlin's temper, he spent a gold coin himself, and others had to pay for his expenses, he would have extorted at least a thousand gold coins from others... It seems that Shagru was also hurt by the Smart, so such a scoundrel method will be put forward in a grand manner.

Jerry nodded slowly, he carefully hid the medal in his arms, and said, " Your Majesty rest assured, we have also fought with the sinners several times, and wiped out a large number of their combat power, especially this time we set up an ambush and annihilated their more than 200,000 elites, of which ninety percent of the credit was set by General Lei, which is undeniable by the generals of other countries, especially General Lei's last raid on the magic array of the elves and eliminated a large number of elves, this is known to everyone, I will triple our results and tell them to the ministers of other countries, I think the Smart Empire is embarrassed to ask our Van Empire to give too much share。 ”

Andrei's face suddenly relaxed a lot, and he said with a smile: "Good, good, good, good, that's good." The strength of a sinner is at least equivalent to a golden second-order knight, that is, the battle exploits worth 10,000 gold coins, and the results of the 200,000 people will be converted into 5 billion gold coins, plus those elves and some other fragmentary merits, we see that the Smart people have indeed made great contributions this time, and they are reluctant to give them more than 10 billion gold coins to compensate their treasury... It's just blackmail, 50 billion gold coins, is the house in our Smart Empire made of gold?"

Shagru nodded repeatedly, with a hint of light on his face, and said with a chuckle, "Then, let's do it." Recently, we have trained 5 million new troops, and the military expenditure is too great, so we can save as much as we can. After the end of this war with the criminals, I am afraid that the countries on the mainland will not be able to wage war again for at least twenty years, whether it is or ... Jerry Qing, you have worked hard all the way, step down... Someone, the Minister of War and the Minister of Finance are here. ”

Jerry bowed lightly and stepped back, his steps heavy as he walked down the corridors of the palace, his mind reverberating from the conversation he had just had. He suddenly felt that it seemed that only Ray was the only one who could be trusted. The big guy who constantly used his body to cover his companions in the bloody battle in Turk Canyon is indeed the only trustworthy guy among all the Empire.

The Minister of War, Siddock, walked briskly from the other end of the corridor, and when he saw Jerry's lonely figure, he immediately stopped, and then slapped Jerry on the shoulder heavily, and whispered: "Young man, cheer up, you guys are playing well." We, the old guys from the military department, are supporting you, don't be afraid. Hmph, even if those people in the civil service system want to cut you, they have to see if I'm dead... Wait a minute, I'll go to your house and find you, and you can explain to me why that Gaddafi guy is crazy and takes people out. ”

Jerry smiled helplessly: "It's very simple, Gaddafi only listens to His Majesty's direct orders, and our military affairs officer has a transfer order written by His Majesty himself. That guy Gaddafi, there was a little thing missing in his head, and he didn't care about anything when he saw the transfer order, so... Jerry suddenly thought, could it be that Shagru actually knew that the problem was his own transfer order, so he became so lonely and godless? After all, Andre was his uncle, and he couldn't be ruthless against Andre. From this point of view, Shagru is not a pure royal family after all. The real royal family, for the sake of power and shirking responsibility, will not let anyone go.

There was a fierce glint in Siddock's eyes, and then there was a look of helplessness. He nodded slowly, smiled bitterly and said, "So, I know." You can play in the imperial capital for a few days, and after I go to the Senate to find a few elders who are inclined to us and explain things clearly, you can continue to the front line of the Iron Fort... However, you have to be mentally prepared, this fiasco has too much shock in the aristocratic circle, and you are under a lot of pressure. The last time the Walters family was just because of the Jaguar Army's momentary fiasco, just... ”

Siddock shook his head, and at the urging of the guards leading the way in front of him, hurried towards the chamber of the council.

Jerry lazily walked out of the palace, lazily pushed away the reins handed by the guards, and whispered, "Let me walk down the street, alas." ”

A soft voice rang out: "Jerry... Long time no see, you, are you okay?"

Jerry looked intently, but it was Kerry holding a small basket and looking at herself from a corner of the street. The nearby palace guards all had stiff faces and fierce eyes, and Klee did not dare to approach. Jerry smiled, reluctantly cheered up, and strode over, "Hahahaha, isn't this Klee? Why, how do you know I'm back? Hehe, aren't you trying to ask me if I'm okay? Are you trying to ask someone about it?。。。 Alas, I, Jerry, am a poor man, there are so many confidants, but few have a conscience. ”

Kerry's face turned red all at once, and even beads of sweat oozed from the tip of her nose. Jerry shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Ha, just kidding, just kidding, really, can't you stand the joke at all? Don't worry, that guy Ray is as strong as a bull, he almost has the power of the legendary paladin now, and there are few people who can compete with him, don't worry." ”

Klee was immediately happy, and she smiled as she lifted the lid of her basket and said, "This is the freshly made snack I brought from Grandma Sarin and gave it to you." ”

Jerry shook his head with a smile, took the basket, and said in a deliberate loud voice: "Poor, if I don't tell Ray the good news, I guess I won't even be able to eat snacks." ”

A loud voice came from behind Jerry: "Hahahaha, it's just a snack... Jerry, tomorrow night, I'm going to have a night party, so if you have time, come and join us. I have something to say to you about this war... Hahaha, don't worry, it's not a big deal, it's up to me Andre, no one can charge you indiscriminately. ”

Jerry shuddered, but saw Andre standing behind him like a wall with a smile on his face, a face full of love, as if he were his dearest son. And his ten fingers that were turning quickly were telling Jerry that this banquet was not so easy to bear.

On the front line of the 'Iron Fort', Lei is waving shovels with a team of silver wolf soldiers in the wind and snow. The frozen mud made a terrible howl under their shovels, and the pieces were dug up, and the thunder roared loudly in unknown mountain songs, and the soldiers, too, were bare and roared wildly, from meaningless roars to crazy curses on God and the sinners, as long as they could make them feel full of strength, they all roared, and a rough wildness permeated the entire position.

You can vaguely feel that spring is getting closer and closer, and after the shovel is inserted into the ground, you can see that the bottom of the frozen soil has begun to thaw, which should be that the earth has felt the breath of spring and is gradually moving. If it weren't for the dense trenches and bunkers dug everywhere, after a while, this land would have been full of green grass.

Lei let out a long gasp and straightened his waist to wipe the sweat from his forehead. Similar to when I was in the mountains before, the feeling of feeling comfortable and full of joy in my body and mind after labor returned to my body. The muscles all over his body are full of vitality, and he seems to be able to feel that even if there is a mountain in front of him, he can easily smash him to the ground. Lei laughed a few times, looking at the soldiers who were shouting at each other happily and working happily on the ground, he couldn't help but feel proud.

Since Jerry left, the morale of the soldiers has been lowered a lot, even if countless officers shout loudly in front of them every day, constantly pulling them out and training hard, but the soldiers' souls don't know where to run, they are simply trained to be weak and have no effect. Lei was in a hurry, so he simply pulled all the soldiers out, even if it was a waste of effort, and asked them to deepen the trench by another foot, the walls of the bunker by another foot, and the barbed wire and horse stakes should be densely added with several layers.

Miraculously, this vulgar method that made the noble officers shake their heads was rejuvenated by the soldiers. Every day, waving shovels and hoes to deepen the fortifications that they relied on to fight, watching the trenches gradually deepen, the bunkers gradually became stronger, and the traps gradually became denser, the soldiers' hearts gradually became hot, and they felt that with the fortifications in front of them, the sinners were not very terrible. Especially when their muscles and bones began to move with their labor, as they continued to breathe in the fresh air of the wilderness, and felt the gentle feeling of the wind blowing through their bodies and the snowflakes falling on their skin, their spirits were also warmed.

In a short period of three to five days, the soldiers' mental outlook has been completely renewed, and their morale has also risen a lot. At the very least, the soldiers had begun to forget, or rather force themselves to forget, the events of a few days earlier, and they began to hypnotize themselves, demanding that they would be able to defeat the sinners with their comrades, and that they would be able to expel them from the land.

Ray smiled and watched the soldiers work hard, so that he was not worried that what the noble officers said would happen. The officers once told Ray very seriously: "My lord, what if the soldiers are used to using shovels, but they don't know how to use weapons?"

Ray didn't say a word at that time, and he used a shovel to split a boulder taller than a human being, and the noble officers had nothing to say. Lei laughed: "Hahahaha, if the shovel is used well, it can also kill people... What's more, the use of shovels and hoes is to exercise the strength of the arm, and doesn't cutting people also rely on the strength of the arm? As for your worries, they are also justified, so let them practice two thousand more chops every night. ”

He laughed a few times, scratched Su Su's chest, which was a little itchy because of the sweat flowing down, and Lei roared at the sky: "**** Your mother, if you have the ability, come and fight." The soldiers laughed wildly, and almost 20,000 people raised their heads at the same time and howled at the sky: "**** Your mother, if you have the ability, come and fight." The sound spread far away, and more warriors cursed at the sky at the same time.

Someone said well, although it is a more evil truth, but it still makes sense: "Soldiers, fighting a war is based on a belly of fire." Even if you train soldiers to be a bunch of hooligans and villains, as long as they can fight, they are good soldiers... If you use benevolence and morality to educate soldiers and make them become people who are afraid of stepping on ants when they walk, then maybe they also have combat effectiveness, but more likely, they will become idiots. ”

Although Ray did not understand these things, he relied on his instinct to infuse a kind of market atmosphere into the 'noble' and 'noble' knights, and in good conscience, such a move did greatly stimulate the fighting power of the warriors in this special situation.

The sound of horses' hooves came from the front of the line, and Ray hurriedly turned his head to look. Recently, except for those assassin team killers who are still active in the 'God-given Prairie', the other teams are definitely not allowed to come within ten miles of the border, so the ones who are riding horses now will definitely not be the soldiers of the coalition army. Then, it can only be sinners. At the critical juncture when their own army had just suffered a crushing defeat and had been annihilated by four legions, the criminals suddenly came to the 'Iron Fort' defense line, and they would never be at ease.

Ray threw away the shovel in his hand and grabbed the 'Lionheart' placed on a stone beside him. The nearby soldiers 'choked' and dropped their shovels and grabbed their weapons. Several soldiers muttered in a low voice: "Damn, look at who dares to come to us to beg for death now, if we don't split their heads into meat sauce, we won't be soldiers of the Van Empire." ”

A group of 1,000 horsemen slowly rode out of the woods in front of them, yes, they were sinners. But it was completely different from the sinners I had seen before, they were wearing all black armor made of fine work, with a long sword inlaid on the left chest, and the emblem of a messy lightning bolt wrapped around it, which was the insignia of the god of war, that is, the emblem of the gods that the sinners worshipped. The stick weapon in his hand was no longer the stick weapon that the criminals were accustomed to, but instead the standard steel spear, and on the left side of the waist, he wore a heavy machete. The horses' hooves rattled, and the machete scabbard and saddle struck softly, making a crisp sound.

The cavalry formed a neat triangular formation and marched towards the front of the defensive line. Just outside the range of the crossbow, a thousand cavalry rode their horses and stopped at the same time, and the chaotic sound of horses' hooves also disappeared at the same time. The commanders of the heavy cavalry divisions of these Silver Wolf Legions naturally knew that a thousand knights could make the horses under them move and stop at the same time, without even one of the horses' hooves making a noise, which meant that the riding skills of these knights had reached an extremely high level.

The sinners in front of him are no longer the kind of poor worms who are so embarrassed on the back of the horse that they can only hug the horse's neck and hum. Looking at the excellent armor and strong defense on their bodies, they are at least on the same starting line in terms of equipment in the battle with the Glory Knight and other 'Divine City' garrisons. So, will the sinners, with their strong individual combat prowess, become a more formidable force than the Knights of Glory?

Lei let out a long, long exhale, and he shouted in a deep voice: "You guys, what are you doing here? If you want to fight, today I will challenge a thousand of you alone." A powerful momentum swooped out head-on, bombarding the thousand neatly assembled cavalry. Lei made up his mind that he wanted to deal a severe blow to the morale of the criminals and their momentum, and if they agreed to his challenge, then he would naturally be happy to kill them on the spot, so that his soldiers knew that he was invincible.

An invincible commander brings to the soldiers an infinite fighting spirit, and Lei is still clear about this truth, he is ready to use these criminals to establish his authority.

The convict at the front of the group laughed softly, he gently pulled up his mask, looked at the sky for a long time, and said with a smile: "How come? The weather is not suitable for fighting, let's change the day." General Lei, you are now so famous that our Great Mentor, Lord Stygian Des, said that if anyone could pose a threat to him, it would be Lord Lei. ”

The man heheheed a few times, glanced at the soldiers beside Lei contemptuously, shook his head and said, "However, that is, General Lei can cause us a little trouble, and the others are just making up the numbers... Today we came out just to see the scenery, General Lei, when the grass on your side sprouts, it will be time for us to attack. Your killers have caused us a lot of trouble, so we've decided to break through your defenses within three days, so we don't have to worry about a bunch of flies buzzing in our ears all the time. ”

The hearts of the generals of the coalition suddenly sank again. Judging from the previous performance of the sinners, they were simply extremely wooden, and their heads could not be bent, but now that there is a person among them who is as articulate as Xu Ling, does it mean that the sinners have finally taken a great step forward in some aspect? In a few months, may the relatively outstanding young people among them become like this?

The sinner chuckled softly, drew his bow suddenly, and shot an arrow at the stake at Ray's side. With a 'snap', the entire stake exploded. The sinners cheered at the same time: "Yoha... ”

The faces of the coalition soldiers on Lei's side suddenly became gloomy, at least, they had never found it before, the sinners could have such a strong archery technique, hit a bowl-thick wooden stake at a distance of five hundred feet, and still have such a powerful strength, if the sins had such a hundred thousand archers, the only fate of the Flying Phoenix Legion would be the annihilation of the entire army.

Ray didn't say a word, and after glancing at the sinner, he took a strong bow from Alexandre. With a loud bang, thirteen long arrows pierced through the horse under the sinner's seat, and the powerful, terrifying force slammed the horse's body backwards and flew backwards for more than a dozen feet.

The sinners fell to the ground in disarray, and the coalition soldiers were demoralized and shouted for joy. The sinners quietly picked up the leader who fell to the ground, and the leader of the sinners applauded lightly and chuckled a few times: "It's really powerful, it's really majestic, but it's a pity that the entire continent of human beings, such a person, is only General Lei." ”

Thunderstorm shouted: "So, among your army of criminals, how many people like me can be found?" He slammed his fist into the sky, and obviously saw a circle of huge cyan wind patterns surrounding his white-gold fist wind, and a cloud in the sky was scattered by the thunder terrifying fist wind, and a golden sunlight gently sprinkled down, like a golden pillar, standing between heaven and earth.

The faces of the sinners finally changed, according to the arrangement of the Styx Desi and Tu, they came out this time to try to defeat the morale of the continental coalition army, and tried to make the coalition army feel that the army of the sinners was already invincible. However, in the face of Ray, a guy who is absolutely inmeasurable, they really have no choice.

After a while, the leader of the scolders sneered: "What a majesty, so evil... General Lei, we have a total army of four million, and when spring arrives in your land, we will launch a full-scale attack... If you are not mistaken, you have been annihilated by us with an army of more than 1.4 million, and the current strength is a little... Hey, hey, hahahahaha... ”

The sinners burst out laughing, and they no longer looked at Lei them, and galloped their horses in the direction of the steppe.

Ray and his group of officers glanced at each other, as if they had pressed a stone in their hearts. Four million troops? According to the habit of the criminals to be soldiers of the whole people, this is still a small number. Lei sighed in a low voice: "It seems that the enemy situation is not optimistic... Jerry, what are you doing now? If you were by my side, I'd be a lot easier, a lot. ”

In the light music, Jerry, dressed in fine clothes, led a hundred family knights and rode briskly to the gate of Andrew's Palace.
