Chapter 9: The Battle of the Border City (3)

When night came, the sky was as black as ink, and the air was cold and biting. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the military camp of Meliwitz. When Heramon Barn had finished his night patrol, he went to the military tent in Meliwitz alone.

Heramon hovered outside the tent, hesitantly pacing back and forth, wondering if he should be in the account at this moment.

When Meliwitz led his army back to the camp today, he didn't have any instructions, and led the Beastmaster straight to the medical officer to treat him. After all, the Beastmaster was Melwitz's foal, and Heramon wondered if Melwitz might later gather the generals to discuss the military. However, until nightfall, no order was received from Melwitz to summon the generals.

"The marshal has never demoted you, why are you on duty here all night?" came Meliwiz's deep voice from the military tent.

When Heramon heard Meliwitz's voice, he simply stepped into the military tent and came to Merwiitz and gave a military salute.

"Qing is here at this time, what is the report?" Meliwitz sat in the handsome seat, holding an ancient book in his hand.

"Marshal, subordinatesβ€”" Helamon stopped talking.

"For the sake of the general, why are you so bothered?" said Meliwicz, putting down the ancient book in his hand and staring at Heramon.

"Marshal, I don't understand, today's battle Kuzhi is obviously inferior to the marshal. Why didn't the marshal take advantage of the situation to attack the city on a large scale, and didn't the marshal worry about His Royal Highness in the imperial capital? Besides, our army's food and grass were already short of food, and we couldn't withstand a battle like a tug-of-war!" Heramon seemed to be a little agitated, and his right hand was tightly clasped on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

"Heramon, don't you think it's a little presumptuous to preach to Benshuai!" said Melwidz without being angry.

"Marshal! If our army continues to stagnate, we are afraid that the fighters will be delayed. Not to mention the arrival of Rokosno's reinforcements for the time being, the ambition of King Arena's wolf son, the imperial capital is probably in danger, and the safety of His Royal Highness is also in danger, and I am afraid that it will be full of hardship!"

"General Heramon, this marshal asks you, what position do you have in the army?" Meliwitz asked suddenly.

Heramon was slightly stunned: "Marshal, his subordinate position is the deputy commander of the corps and the commander of the guards." ”

"What is your duty?"

"Stick to the Chinese army to respond to the cavalry regiment and infantry regiment, and assume the responsibility of escorting the commander of the barracks and supervising the guard and patrol of the barracks. ”

"Ben Shuai is tired, you step down!"

"Marshal!" said Heramon, bewildered.

"Get out of here!"

"Subordinate... Subordinates receive orders. After all, Heramon left the tent, he didn't understand what Meliwitz was thinking, he just felt that Meliwitz was different from usual.

Melivitz sighed when Hermon had left the tent, and he had no intention of looking at the ancient books on the table.

"Where is the twilight pupil!" as Melwitz spoke, two phantoms stood out in the military tent, and then there was the twilight pupil dressed in black.

"Escort Coach Lokosno back home!" said Meliwitz, who once again picked up the ancient book on the table and began to read the unfinished volume.

Twilight Hitomi receives the mission, and disappears like a phantom into Melwiez's tent.

――――――――

In the early morning of January 21, 982, the lieutenant generals of the Merwitz army were ready to go, and they were all in good spirits.

Melwitz's outfit is still as powerful, and the Beastmaster is no longer in trouble after treatment.

Melwiez still left Heramon to defend the central army, and still let Deng lead the cavalry as the rear army, and Kaz led the infantry as the vanguard.

Accompanied by letter cannons and long horns, the army of Meliwitz reached in front of the city of Kemalicio.

After a night's rest, Kuzhi stood on the castle tower full of energy and looked at Meliwitz. He didn't let the Wizards set up another enchantment, because it was a null for Meliwicz.

In order to prevent Zerui from destroying the enchantment again, Ku Zhi invested all the power of the magic group to bless the enchantment of Houcheng.

However, the Zerui army in the direction of Houcheng is calm today, very calm.

――――――――

Melwitz rode alone in the center, and the army behind him lined up in turn, and he pointed his sword at the Kuzhi on the castle tower, and muttered silently.

Seeing this, Ku Zhi did not make a sound, but went down to the city tower to take off his armor and change into light clothes, and led a thousand soldiers out of the city.

But when he saw the soldiers of Lokosno coming out of the city, the detachments were in formation, and Kuzhi came out of them lightly.

Melwiitz and Kuzhi intersected with each other, and did not immediately engage in a fight. However, the beast king's scream frightened Ku Zhi's crotch mount back a few steps, as if shouting at Ku Zhi for yesterday's revenge.

The two of them pressed their respective bridles, and Melwitz placed the Emperor Flame Saw across the saddle and spoke, "What do you mean today?"

Ku Zhiwan smiled: "Your Excellency the Duke is smiling, you can't find a mount that can compare with your divine horse, so you can't compete with your Excellency." Today, Ben Shuai has something to tell you. ”

Melwitz also smiled: "Tell me about it!"

"Your Excellency, the Marshal wants to return the city of Kemalicio to Your Excellency, I wonder what Your Excellency Duke wants?"

"And such a beautiful thing, but joking?"

"Your Excellency, the Lord knows very well that you and I are hostile, how can Your Excellency be gullible. The commander could not bear to die a tragic death in a foreign country, and if you want to attack and take Kemalicho, you will definitely pay a high price. If there is a change, it is easy for you to take the head of this commander. Besides, if there is a change in Yurasno, your Excellency will not return to your heart like an arrow?"

Melwitz was silent, and his mind began to think.

Ku Zhi said again: "Your Excellency the Duke doesn't have to reply immediately, the two sides will withdraw their troops for the time being, I hope Your Excellency the Duke will reply as soon as possible?"

"The general's words are not unbelievable, tomorrow at this time, you will dedicate the city, and I will release it. After saying that, Melwitz turned his horse's head and led the army back to the camp.

――――――――

Immediately after returning to the camp with his army, Meliwitz convened a meeting of the important generals under his command, and he briefly recounted the dedication of the city to Kuzhi today. After hearing this, the generals all expressed their opposition to this matter, and they were all skeptical of Kuzhi's actions.

Meliwitz did not discuss the matter of Kuzhi's dedication to the city with his subordinates, and directly settled the matter, and the generals had no choice but could only carry out the commander's orders.

In the big tent, Melwitz sat in the first place, followed by the general with a sad face.

Melwiitz didn't care about the facial expressions of the generals under his command, but said: "It's easy to enter the city of Kemalicio, but it's difficult to get out of Kemalichio." ”

After all, Heramon was the highest commander-in-chief officer other than Meliwitz, so he was the most vocal person in the entire army: "Marshal, why is it so difficult to get out of Kemalicio?"

"Zeri came to Kemalico this time to prevent me from entering the customs, he has 80,000 soldiers in his hands, which is similar to the strength of our army, and you say that it is not difficult to get out of Kemalichio?" Melwitz asked Heramon rhetorically, Heramon had been thinking about Kemalico earlier, and only then did he realize that he had neglected a more important part. Helamon, who was speechless for a while, was even more sad than before.

After Melwiecz asked this question, the people in the military tent suddenly became uproarious, and the generals began to discuss how to get out of Kemalicio and return to the imperial capital.

Kaz Nemo---- Commander-in-Chief of the Infantry Regiment: "Everyone be quiet and listen to the next word. When the generals heard Kaz speak, they stopped talking and looked at Kaz in unison.

"This time there is news from the imperial capital, Her Majesty the Empress has died, and Arena has taken advantage of this chaos to trap His Royal Highness the prince in danger. Arena sent Zeri this time, in the name of changing guards, but in fact, to prevent the marshal from returning to the capital. ”

Heramon continued: "Who of us doesn't know what you said, the key problem is that even if Zerui is broken, there are still many checkpoints to pass in the direction of the imperial capital. ”

Kaz said again: "You are right, our army must ensure that it has sufficient combat strength, so in the face of Zerui, we cannot fight, we can only outwit." ”

Helamon asked again, "How to outwit?"

Kaz said, "If Kuzhi's dedication to the city is worthwhile, we can assassinate Zeri under the pretense that Kuzhi did not evacuate Kemalicio. The marshal's prestige is resounding throughout the Empire, and I think it will not be difficult to recover Zerui's soldiers. ”

Melwiitz laughed: "Kaz's words coincide with me. Early tomorrow morning, the two armies will change their guards, and the Kaz infantry detachment will enter the city. After entering the city, he quickly took control of various strategic points and kept the Lokosno banner unchanged. After receiving the letter, the Hermon guard entered the city, and Deng led the cavalry to stay outside the city and wait for orders. ”

All the generals led their orders and withdrew from the military tent of Melivitz in turn.
