162: Conspiracy?

Facing Aslan with a gloomy smile on his face, the soldier suddenly remembered that he had heard a story told by a priest in the church, and the demon was smiling when he tempted people to sin, just like the situation in front of him.

The soldier seemed to be engaged in a real ideological struggle, but finally he looked at the blade in front of him, he exhaled, and said, "I will tell you everything I know, but you have to let me go, I am just an ordinary believer in the goddess of light." ”

"Well, I promise you, say!"

"Before our church received the crusade order from the Empire, the priest suddenly asked us to gather immediately to be trained by a holy knight whom we had never seen before, and with us were the guards of a dozen other churches in the vicinity, and it was only soldiers from our state. It wasn't until after the Imperial Crusade was issued that another Holy Knight headed for the Imperial Capital with less than a third of his soldiers. And we, under the leadership of the Holy Knights, have been resting in seclusion during the day and marching at night. ”

"Later, as our ranks grew larger and larger, we called them the Guardians of the Temple, and the knight became the Legion Commander, and then when I was chatting with people, I found that some of them were even Church Guards from other states, and we didn't know why, we just took orders from those Legion Commanders. ”

"What's the name of that legion leader?" Aslan's original smile slowly dissipated, and he asked with a frown, he felt that things were getting more and more troublesome, and it was not difficult to judge from this soldier's words, the Temple of Light had gathered at least a hundred thousand troops, or even more.

"I only know that his name is Carlos, and then Captain Carlos led us to attack the imperial capital, and the imperial capital was quickly occupied by us!"

Aslan couldn't believe his ears a little, it should have been after the Imperial Capital Army and them set out to attack, these people attacked the Imperial Capital. And even captured the imperial capital. It's like a bolt from the blue.

"How many troops are there in the army you have gathered, just because you want to attack the imperial capital, and you have captured the imperial capital, do you think I will believe it?" Although the imperial army dispatched most of the troops in this expedition, and there were less than 10,000 defenders in the imperial capital, with the towering city walls, even if the enemy army had hundreds of thousands, it was impossible to capture the imperial capital silently in just a few days. ”

The soldier recalled: "We have almost 50,000 soldiers, in fact, when we attacked the imperial capital, I myself felt inexplicable, the gate of the imperial capital was wide open, we almost did not receive any resistance to enter the imperial capital, and after a skirmish, we took over the imperial capital in full." ”

The first thing that came to Aslan's mind was that there was an internal response, and this internal response still had a lot of power, and could even order all the military affairs of the imperial capital, and it seemed that the little princess's strength was even stronger than expected.

"You go on and say, after you captured the imperial capital. ”

"After the capture of the imperial capital, we did not rest, and continued to go north non-stop, along the way we have been attacking the walled cities on the road very secretly according to the general's orders, and all those who disobey us will be killed. This Axin City is our last target, and the general has sent us to camp here, and the large army is already rushing to the side of the Broken Sky Gorge. The news from the soldiers can be said to have made Aslan's back cold.

"But we didn't meet the big army you said on the way we first came. Aslan suddenly asked his own question, more than 50,000 people, even if you subtract the people who stayed and stationed along the way, there are at least 40,000 people, and he shouldn't have encountered it.

The soldier said, "You came from the stone bridge, our general did not pass from the stone bridge, but from a shoal upstream of the river, and I don't know why." ”

Aslan's mind was spinning wildly, if this soldier didn't say anything wrong, then it was very likely that the imperial capital had been controlled by the temple, but soon he shook his head again, not to mention other families, the simple Sara family, there are so many holy magicians in it, let alone 50,000, and if it is 500,000, he doesn't dare to face the anger of so many saint magicians.

There must be something strange in this, so that the entire imperial capital is actually silent.

Suddenly, Aslan remembered a question, if the temple really controlled the imperial capital, then they could completely seize the pressure from His Majesty the Emperor and Princess Alpha inside and outside, and usurp the power of the White Yun Empire in one fell swoop, but they didn't, but instead sent troops over to fight the rebels inside and outside.

Although Aslan understood why the rebels would unite with the Temple, he was sure of one thing, that is, there was an unknown force in the Imperial Capital that still firmly controlled the Imperial Capital, leaving the Temple army at a loss, and finally staring at the Imperial Capital Army.

I remember that Chang Yun once said that there are three forces in the imperial capital that have been usurping the throne, in addition to the eldest prince and the little princess, there are still several princes joining forces, or those princes.

Aslan put the sword back into his scabbard, his hand touched his chin, and he continued to think: Then if it is the second prince's force that suppresses the army of the temple in the imperial capital, then why don't you send someone to inform the eldest prince.

Rebels!

Aslan's eyes lit up, and the second prince and his faction instigated the rebels to act, but the temple took this opportunity to prepare to cripple the imperial capital army in one fell swoop.

Of course, there is another possibility, but Aslan doesn't dare to think about it, it's crazy, what kind of strategy is needed for someone to come up with such a solution.

At this time, Leon had already returned, making sure that the entire city of Axin had been controlled, and had also found the insignia of the Guardians of the Temple of Light.

"We're going to get back right away. Aslan said with a gloomy face. "And what about this soldier. Zoros asked, pointing to the soldier.

"With it, maybe it's still useful, at least what he said is still useful. Aslan slowly turned around and prepared to leave.

At this time, where the soldiers were originally standing, several soldiers came out, and they were looking for their companions. Aslan and others were spotted in the distance.

"It's not good, there is an enemy, go and report it to your lordship. Aslan screamed that it was not good, and he immediately said, "We have been discovered, let's go." "Yes, don't move, boy, let me go. "Fortunately, those soldiers may have been afraid that there were too many enemy troops and did not chase them out, but when their officers came, Aslan and the others would have to face it, and they would be in pursuit.

Aslan hurried back to where their team had assembled, and hurriedly shouted to Edson, "Oh no, the city of Axin has been occupied by the enemy, and it ......"

Aslan got on his horse and told Edson what he knew.

"All the emperors have been occupied, and our rear has been cut off?" Edson looked at Aslan in shock, if he hadn't looked at the captured soldier, he would have thought that Aslan was joking with himself: "Are you sure that the Temple of Light did it? If the rebels are a conspiracy of the Temple of Light, then this is not just a rebellion." ”
