The showdown between Ernest and Swain continues.

After Swain used a large number of demons to suppress him, Ernest could no longer get close to Sven, and the battle was firmly controlled by Sven. And the departure of Manfred and Yang made the two no longer have too many scruples, they didn't need to worry about being attacked by Manfred, and they could concentrate on their hands and feet.

In the face of Swain's overwhelming flock of crows, it was difficult for Ernest to find a chance like in the previous battle, no matter what, the gap between the magician and the ordinary person was still quite huge, and it was not a gap that could be bridged by will.

Again using his sword to smash the crows that were sneaking up from the side, Ernest retreated again. Swain's crow flock is too large, and these demons are all tightly sheltered around Swain, always on guard against Ernest's cut-in, obviously, after the previous battle, although Sven did not understand how Ernest hurt him, but he resolutely took the most cautious attitude, not giving the other party a chance at all.

Breathing is getting faster and faster, Ernest has already fought with Swain just now, and now his physical strength and condition have not recovered well, it is really difficult to defeat the sane Swain.

However, although Swain's fighting style has calmed down now, his emotions are not as calm as they used to be.

"Isn't that going to work? Is this the only way? Is this level also worthy of a Jericho? Attack, hurry, attack, where did all the momentum just now, or do you just say that you are just talking nicely, in fact, just like I said, you are a coward at all!"

Ernest gritted his teeth, the sword in his hand already had many gaps. He didn't understand what Swain's crows were, they didn't bleed any blood when killed, they just turned into a pile of feathers and dissipated. And this kind of crow's beak is so hard and abnormally hard that his sword is cut as if he is fighting against other weapons, but the crow's beak is not a weapon after all, and Ernest has never been paired with a weapon of this shape, and he can't analyze a good way to deal with it for a while.

"It's just ......" Ernest wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, clenched his teeth and looked determined, "It's just an evil way, it's impossible for you to defeat me with these unseemly things." ”

"Really?" Sven's mouth curled in a cruel arc, "Then I'll have to give it a try." ”

Like a swarm of locusts, the demons swooped down on Ernest with a sweeping stance, and in the face of such a large-scale attack, a sword in his hand could never stop him. Moreover, as the fire expanded, the space that Ernest could dodge was shrinking, and if he continued to retreat, he would have no way back.

"There's no way back. Ernest gritted his teeth and took a deep breath, and when he fell, another hole was opened in the remaining ceiling, and a lot of rubble that had accumulated on the upper floor also fell, forming a stone mound. The stone mill was now within fire range, but fortunately it was not too far away, and Ernest had stored enough air to run towards the stone mill.

Seeing Ernest running, Swain immediately raised his guard, he had suffered from Ernest's sudden change of speed last time, so he didn't want to make the same mistake this time. The crow flock was divided into two groups, a small part still surrounding Swain, carefully guarding against Ernest's sneak attack, and a large number of crows chasing Ernest like a black storm.

Under such a pursuit, Ernest, who had already made up his mind, rushed into the fire without hesitation, and the flames and smoke were like maggots on tarsal bones, and they immediately entangled. Enduring the fire and smoke, Ernest rushed through the flame belt and pounced on the stone, but the crows that followed behind him did not have the endurance of Ernest, the first crow rushed into the flames and was immediately roasted by the high temperature, while the following crows immediately slowed down, changed their flight trajectory and climbed upward, intending to attack Ernest who fell into the Jedi from a high altitude.

But Ernest didn't fall into a desperate situation, he didn't slow down after he hit the stone, and by inertia, he jumped to his feet and jumped towards the gap that led to the upper floor.

Sven, who realized what Ernest really wanted, immediately sped up the demons and wanted to continue the pursuit, but his situation was not good at the moment, he was the only one trapped in the underground prison by the flames, and at this time, he had to think about how to retreat.

The easiest way to do this is to use teleportation to get out of here, but Sven doesn't have the same depth of magic as Manfred, although he has a huge amount of magic, but he doesn't really master much magic, after all, it is a matter that takes time to accumulate.

Using teleportation takes too long, and with Ernest out of sight, Sven must consider whether his teleportation will fall into the net. Therefore, he still adopted the old method, letting the demon be his wings and fly with him to the upper level.

On the upper floor, the first floor of the Ministry of the Interior, although he escaped the fire, the situation here was not optimistic for Ernest. The flames raged even more fiercely in this layer, and he had to find a way out of the burning ruins and retreat outside as quickly as possible. From the duel just now, Ernest knew that he had no chance of winning for the time being, but that didn't mean that he couldn't beat Swain at all, as long as he was well prepared, he could replicate the first victory.

Ernest ran rapidly, because the flames had consumed a lot of oxygen, Ernest had gradually felt some dizziness and physical exhaustion, if it wasn't for his strong will to support him, maybe he would have been a pile of ashes in this sea of fire.

In the end, it was an official in the Ministry of the Interior system, although he did not come often, but Ernest still had a certain impression of the structure and topography of the Ministry of the Interior building, and soon, he saw the gate that had been burned down. Although the door was burned, it was barely possible to pass through, Ernest sped up, he planned to gather the strength of the imperial capital garrison outside and give Swain a head-on blow.

However, just as he was about to reach the door, Sven's crow had already caught up, and after all, it was a flying creature, and the crow swarm could directly jump over many obstacles, so that Ernest could block the gate one step ahead of Ernest.

"Damn!" Ernest couldn't help but curse, it was already close at hand, but he had to stop and fight again.

"What a terrible matchup location. Swain limped up with his cane, which may have been a Jedi for Ernest, but for Swain, it was a perfect opportunity to eliminate Ernest.

"Originally, I didn't plan to do it so explicitly, but the opportunity was rare, so I had to be savage once. ”

Ernest turned around and faced the crows in front of Swain who had already set up an attack formation, and he had to clench his sword tightly, ready to fight to the death.

"Boom"

At this moment, a cannonball suddenly collapsed the main entrance of the Ministry of the Interior building, and the crow flock that Swain had formed was immediately wiped out by the impact of the cannonball and the falling rubble, and even Swain himself faced the shockwave, but fortunately, the defense around Swain was still there, and the remaining crows blocked the blow for him.

Ernest rolled on the ground in embarrassment and flipped straight to the outside of the Home Office. He immediately looked towards Apu Boulevard, but he was taken aback by what he saw.

"How come, Connaught's army is all dispatched, and there are ...... Southern Legion?"

After receiving the news of the sudden exchange of fire between the Imperial Capital Garrison and the Southern Army, the War Department reacted quickly and immediately sent Connaught's army to support, and Connaught's army was fully prepared, and even the artillery was brought in.

"Actually fired directly in the imperial capital, is the cabinet panicking?" Swain slowly walked out of the fire, and there were still some traces of smoke and fire on his body.

Sure enough, was the movement of the Southern Fleet that he saw in Port Leon that day for this? Ernest thought silently in his heart, when passing through Port Leon, he accidentally found that the navy in the port was moving, but he only had some vague guesses at the time, but he was not sure, and now that he saw the Southern Army appear in Deweide, then everything was clear, from the very beginning, Beria planned to use the Southern Fleet to transport the troops of Weiting, bypass the defenders of Lanz Town, and come directly to Deweide. It is difficult for a force to secretly enter the imperial capital, but if there is a cover from the Ministry of the Interior, then it may not be a problem, disguised as a train transporting supplies, and secretly send soldiers into the city, if it is not for the sudden change of the Ministry of the Interior, probably Alexander will face the forced palace of tens of thousands of southern troops.

Seeing Ernest who suddenly appeared, Marven finally breathed a sigh of relief, although the commander's appearance did not look too good, but at least the accidental shell of the Connaught army just now had not killed him.

"Brother!" Sophia finally couldn't contain her anxiety when Swain appeared, and hurried out the door despite Ramrem's obstruction, trying to get to her brother's side.

Ramrem, who remained in the building, hesitated, she should have followed Sophia now, but if she went out like this, then how to explain it to Ernest was a problem.

The battle on Apu Avenue did not stop with the presence of Swin and Ernest, on the contrary, the Southern Army saw Ernest's military uniform, and snipers immediately aimed at him.

Although Ernest was a little surprised by this unexpected situation at first, he would never let his guard down on the battlefield, so as soon as he saw the muzzle of the gun aimed at him, he immediately ran quickly and found cover to dodge.

The battle continued, and the Connaught army and the imperial capital garrison joined forces, but gradually suppressed the Southern Army, after all, the Southern Army did not put all its forces into the Ministry of the Interior, not to mention that the Connaught army carried heavy weapons, and it was a good fight for a while.

Just when the Southern Army was being suppressed and retreated, someone finally came out to clean up the mess.

The Southern Army took the lead in a ceasefire, and sent heralds to raise a white flag symbolizing negotiations.

Of course, the Imperial Capital Garrison and the Connaught Army did not want to let go of the Southern Army just like that, and what they did today could be regarded as a mutiny, and the Imperial side had good reasons to refuse to negotiate an armistice.

However, the subsequent release of the Southern Army caused the Imperial Capital Garrison and the Connaught Army to stop their attacks.

"On the orders of His Highness Beria, we ask for an armistice with your army to negotiate and explain the misunderstanding!"

This news surprised everyone, and many people even fired the last bullet in their hands.

"Is Beria still alive?" Sven walked through the battlefield like a shadow, holding Sophia in his arms and rushing to Apu Avenue desperately, if it weren't for Sven's quick eyes and pulling Sophia into the corner alley, maybe a stray bullet would have killed her.

Although her brother covered her mouth and couldn't speak, Sophia still looked at Swain excitedly, and no matter what, her brother finally returned to her.

But Swain didn't have the time to pay attention to Sophia's mood now, he cared about something else.

"Is this Beria's ghost, or is it Manfred's conspiracy?"
