Chapter Twenty-Eight: Purge, Assassination
Below, the soldiers who received the order immediately wondered if the commander was crazy, or he was secretly replaced.
Lin Xuan frowned: "The Second Army has colluded with Pieser, and Colmu has been defeated-"
Before he finished speaking, the soldiers below were already in an uproar.
"What's going on? How come I haven't heard of ......"
"Count Colm is one of the best nobles in Olmuz, how could he betray?"
"Fighting with Olds was originally fratricidal, but now there is actually a fight against the comrades in front of me-"
Confusion, spreading.
Lin Xuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, (Sure enough, there is still a considerable gap compared to the earth's...... The advancing Second Army, which was advancing at the front, also seemed to have received some news and began to retreat without receiving any orders.
(I can't say it - that's it!) )
His eyes sharpened, "All those who retreat, stagnate, and hinder progress will be killed-" A cold voice came out, "Afterwards--Zhulian Nine Clans!" ”
"It's time for you to do it......"
The soldiers guarding the surrounding area retreated in silence, brandishing butcher knives at their compatriots.
"No—"
"Rescue—"
"Fight with him—"
In addition to a few soldiers who were stimulated by blood, more than that, after a moment of hot blood, they felt a deep cold-Zhulian Nine Clans, a term from another world that was instantly understood by everyone under the effect of "system".
When the fighting in the war will spread to their own family thousands of miles away, which was unimaginable before, in this era when righteousness is still so important, almost everyone has been fixed from an early age with the idea that they are fighting for justice, and the lord is responsible for raising and settling their own family.
He threw his head and shed his blood for the country, and the object of his allegiance not only fulfilled his obligations, but even used the object that should be protected as a bargaining chip......
"That damn devil! Are you going to betray too?! The officer struggled to fend off the silent and fierce onslaught of the soldiers, as if he were facing not an upright knight, but a dirty killer lurking in the shadows.
The long sword froze.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the officer stepped back and said urgently, "As long as we kill that demon together, we can—"
A faint sigh.
"...... who can't kill him"
"You-" looked incredulously at the sharp blade sticking out of his chest and plunged into the dark abyss.
Ahead, the Second Army had retreated less than a mile away.
In this regard, Lin Xuan seemed indifferent.
The Second Army, which had been slaughtered by Brunay's surviving soldiers, finally began to move forward.
"My lord, why don't you kill that demon?!"
"Shut up!"
"Your Excellency—"
"Have you beaten the filthy killers who betrayed the knight's glory?"
"We still have 10,000 men, and one can't beat two, and two can't beat five - we can kill them."
"However, we don't have time...... the old officer looked at the retreating Second Army in confusion, and the soldiers in front of him had already killed fiercely.
"How-"
“…… Go forward, the worst outcome is to die in battle, and if you go backwards, you may not only die yourself......"
――――Partition――――
Above the walls of Orz.
Piese, with his two mustaches, squinted at the chaos below, "How's the situation at the South Gate?" ”
"Report to your Excellency, a messenger has been sent from the South City Gate, and Lord Lyudmila has accepted the request for negotiation, and negotiations are now underway."
Piese seemed to sigh and said: "Hehe, my niece, honestly lead troops to fight, it's not bad to be a general, but if you lead a country, be a ruler...... She's not that material yet."
As if accustomed to Piese's rebellious words, the soldiers remained silent.
"Speaking of which, I really have to thank that traitor named Ness, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to do all this."
With a fanatical expression, he opened his hands as if he were embracing everything.
"The whole army - attack Ness Isserbon! Bring back his head to me! ”
――――Partition――――
Looking at the heavy city gate that Orz slowly pushed open, Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed.
A puff of smoke and dust spread from the gates of Orz to this side.
The ground began to shake, shouts of killing came from far and near, and finally, the first knight on a war horse pierced the cavalry gun in his hand into the chest of the soldier in front of him.
Even more so than Lin Xuan, Piese directly gave the order to slaughter the Second Army.
The Second Army, which was attacked from both sides, collapsed instantly, because of the chaotic shaping, even the escape became difficult, they did not know which side was the Combine Army and which side was the Orz Army, so they could only choose one direction according to their fate, until the final result was counted - the living one, one out of ten.
(The first link, success...... Coldly staring at the battlefield below.
From the very beginning, Lin Xuan's first target was not Orz, but the second army composed of the army of the big nobles, unlike Piese, who was accused of rebellion, if he rashly attacked these big nobles, not to mention that the remnants of less than 300 soldiers could not beat many nobles, the plan to kill Piese alone determined that Lin Xuan could not do this, so, after a long plan and calculation, in the end, the first army composed of the army of the minor nobles and the soldiers of Piese completed this "purge".
Yes, for the sake of Olmuz in the future, this is a "purge", and even the next operation, too......
Ignoring the almost one-sided battle below, Lin Xuan set his sights on the distant walls of Orz.
A banner engraved with the coat of arms of the Olmuz family descends slowly.
First: Piese was never a very cautious man, as can be seen from the fact that he personally led five hundred cavalry to Dyrembair;
Second: Piese was not a very powerful man, which does not require any inference of observation, only a little inquiry;
Third: He misjudged Lin Xuan's position from the beginning, Lin Xuan didn't need any way back, nor did he need to worry about any criticism from the world, and he didn't even need to worry about his future survival.
Thus, Piese died in a simple and extreme method - assassination.
From the very beginning, Lin Xuan let fifty of the most powerful Brunais surviving Ormuz soldiers blend into the Second Army, and successfully reached the north gate of Orz under their cover, although the Second Army began to retreat, but in order to paralyze those big nobles, Piese still did not give an order to remove a few little rats underneath.
Then Piese, who saw the first and second armies of the coalition army beginning a melee, ordered a general attack, so the gates of the city were opened, and in his opinion, the situation was decided. The gates were wide open, and one of the strongest lines of defense in Orz was directly removed.
The soldiers infiltrated Olds, infiltrated the top of the city walls, and killed Piese.
The civil war of Olmuz, so simple to end.
