Chapter 395: The Trapped Beast is still fighting
"Bastard!"
In the midst of an unparalleled roar, a fist wrapped in a brilliant purple glow slammed into the tabletop, shattering the entire desk in an instant, and turning it into a puff of light.
It wasn't uncommon for Dylan to see Marshal Miridrian angry, but it was the first time he had seen it so angry that he unconsciously unleashed his skills to smash the table. The reason for this is none other than the letter in the marshal's hand.
The person who wrote the letter was Rossbill, the chancellor of the empire, and it can be inferred from this that there must have been no good words written in the letter. Marshal Miridrian should have been prepared for this, but he was still furious. This makes people wonder what exactly was written in that letter.
"Your Excellency, what's the matter?" and then, coming back to his senses, Dylan immediately asked.
Marshal Miridrian, who had lost his table and was sitting alone in a lonely chair, immediately threw out the letter in his hand and shouted angrily: "See for yourself!
"Then you're welcome. With that, Dylan stepped forward, took the letter from the marshal's hand, and read the last paragraph as instructed, "......'On the day of the fall of the imperial capital, we, the ministers of civil and military affairs, will be martyred with Your Majesty, to demonstrate the unyielding will of our imperial subjects.'" This is...... It's ......"
"Hostage!" roared Marshal Miridrian, "that bastard is threatening me with Her Majesty's life!"
"It's too despicable!" Di Lan couldn't help but be indignant, "Is he also worthy of being the prime minister of the empire!"
"It's long been known that he's not worthy!" said Marshal Miridrian, who also raised his right fist and clenched it, "I hate that I don't understand politics, otherwise ......"
"It's not too late!" said Dylan, "the situation of the war is already very difficult at the moment, and if Rossbill is allowed to do anything behind his back, how can this battle be fought!
"No!" When Dylan lost his mind, Miridian still controlled his emotions even in anger, "It is precisely because of the current enemy that our empire itself cannot be chaotic! What's more, Rossbill already has the idea of taking Her Majesty the Empress as a hostage, do you think he will not use this trick if we lead the army to force the palace?"
"But...... But...... Otherwise, what should we do?"
"What else can I do?" ...... Marshal Miridrian stood up from his chair, "even if he uses all his strength, even if he comes out, he will stop the enemy army before the imperial capital!"
"But this ......," said Dilan with great reluctance, "isn't this exactly in the hands of the enemy!"
"Right in the middle?" said Miridrian, who groaned a little and laughed bitterly, "Ahh ”
"Your Excellency, Marshal?"
"Dilan, I've always had a question. Although the enemy's previous tactics were somewhat anxious for quick success, their essence was still based on prudence, and they followed the path of step-by-step, but how did they suddenly change now and become a desperate tactic of fighting for their lives? It turned out that the other side had already grasped the lifeblood of our country! That person, or that group of people, had probably seen through the predicament in which I was now found out, and had expected that as long as our prime minister was here, I would have to go out of the way even if I didn't want to face the battle. In this way, everything makes sense. The calculation has been out of the battlefield, how can the calculation be high, and be willing to bow to the wind!"
"Your Excellency, please don't be discouraged!"
"I didn't!" Miridrian replied firmly to Dylan's concerns, "just losing is losing, and holding on to face won't change the facts." But...... This kind of thing of survival in defeat has been done since the day this war began, and even if he falls into the hands of the other party, I want him to know what a 'hot potato' is!"
As he spoke, Miridrian's gaze couldn't help but shine with an unyielding glint.
On the twelfth day when the four major knights of the Kingdom Army began to march, the Imperial Army finally appeared in front of them, which could not easily break through even with the strength of about 2,000 players, and its total number was exactly 500,000.
With this as a turning point, the battle plan of the Royal Army entered the second stage as expected.
Under the command of Duke Edlaide, the four knights set up camp in place and defended in an all-round way, although they faced the siege of the enemy's 500,000 troops, they remained as immovable as Mount Tai, thus becoming a nail firmly nailing the imperial army and putting it in a dilemma.
At the same time, the battle line of the Kingdom Army, which was like a two-headed giant snake composed of various army groups, decisively raised its left and right heads, and then quickly surrounded the Imperial army. In order to prevent this encirclement from forming, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Army, Marshal Miridrian, could only mobilize more troops to intercept the various armies of the kingdom on the outer line of the main army.
In this way, the campaign quickly expanded in scale like a fire, and slipped all the way into a stalemate. At this point, the second phase of the battle of the Royal Army was successfully completed, and it was time to start the third phase. However, it was precisely in the implementation of this crucial step that there was a situation that Li Mengxi and others did not expect, that is, it was impossible to lock the communication route of the enemy's signal troops in any case, so it was naturally impossible to deduce the location of Miriderian's base camp.
The situation took a turn for the worse, and the supplies of the king's army would only blindly decrease but not increase, and over time, people's nerves became more and more oppressive, making Li Mengxi anxious.
What I saw this morning didn't seem to be different from what I saw when I left last night.
Nane Hinata, dressed in everyday clothes and an aqua blue lace yukata, felt this when she walked into the living room. Behind the desk, which was covered with all kinds of documents, Li Mengxi used the elbows of his arms to pestle the tabletop and supported the forehead part of his head with his two palms, this distressed posture was the same as yesterday.
"Alas!" So, after a slight sigh, Nayin took a worried look towards where Li Mengxi was. The latter, who was not asleep, immediately heard the sound and raised his head, and his haggard face with dark circles naturally reflected in Nain's eyes.
"You know that the abnormal state of 'overwork' can only be relieved by getting enough rest, right?" Nain, who came to the front, spoke in a complaining tone.
"Got it. Li Mengxi replied weakly, "After all, I've seen it countless times from Lamaria." Of course, there is also the way she looks like she is going to die or live after hanging up. But, Nain, it's not that I don't want to sleep, it's that I can't sleep anyway!"
At the same time as the words fell, Li Mengxi couldn't help but rub his face with his hands, especially the eyes part. Seeing this, Naine also felt even more distressed.
"You're worrying too much!" she retorted, "Isn't it a long time before the crisis of running out of supplies?
"Aha!" Li Mengxi couldn't help laughing, "A guy with a strong sense of responsibility like you would say such things?"
"Because I also understand that even if the responsibility is still there, it is meaningless if the person in charge is gone!" As she spoke, Nai Yin also shifted from the table to Li Mengxi's side and softened her voice, "You really need to rest." If you really can't sleep...... Not...... Why don't you try a chest pillow? I've heard it's a good idea. ”
Li Mengxi's body suddenly shook, followed by a helpless wry laugh: "Aha! Naiyin, don't I can't sleep even more like you?"
"Eh!" Nayin, who got up with a blushing face, couldn't help but whisper to another person, "Jasmine, you're really just making fun of me!"
"Knock knock!"
At this moment, there was a knock on the open door, and it was the head of the restaurant department of the Yan Shan Pavilion, Luo Luofei.
"The ......"
"What's the matter?" After hearing the call, Li Mengxi and Hinata Nain asked in unison.
At this time, Lolofe couldn't help but show an embarrassed expression and replied: "That guy named Sinapus wants to see the president!"
"Let him go back!" Without hesitation, Li Mengxi replied.
"But......," said Lolofi in a half-believing tone, "he said he brought you a way to get a good night's sleep." ”
