Section 17
As soon as Vic proves his identity, he asks Demps to convey Gray's order to withdraw. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Retreat, where to retreat?" Colonel Demps was surprised by the order that Vic had brought.
Vic looked at Colonel Demps, who was a little unconvinced, nodded slightly and said, "Yes, sir, the intelligence of our army has been leaked, and the orc expeditionary force has already landed in Balan City, and the meaning of your battle here has been lost!"
He told everyone present about the changes in the battle situation in the south!
"What?"
After a brief silence in the room after hearing the news brought by Vic, I don't know who let out an exclamation.
Colonel Demps was also surprised by the news, and his brow furrowed slightly.
Immediately after, everyone whispered a discussion.
After half a ring, Colonel Demps asked, "Do we have any other missions?"
The sound of discussion in the room died down when Colonel Demps uttered the first word.
Hearing this, Vic's eyes narrowed slightly, so that others could not see his gaze, and then looked at everyone in the room quietly.
"Of course there is, and besides, your next mission is even more important than the previous one, I hope you can be prepared!"
Vic didn't immediately say what the mission was about, but instead talked about it that didn't matter.
"Although our navy suffered a lot of losses in this battle, its basic combat strength is well preserved, and I can swear by my honor that we can face all difficulties!"
Colonel Demps didn't like to be doubted about his abilities.
"Of course, I have traveled all the way from the coastline, and your deeds have been sung everywhere, and I have never doubted your abilities, nor have I ever doubted your Viscount!"
Vic smiled, "But, I guess you guys still have a little internal matter to take care of, don't they?"
Colonel Demps was stunned for a moment, and then he understood.
The Colonel looked at Vic earnestly, as if his wound had flare-up, and then lowered his head and gently stroked his wound.
Perhaps because of the pain, Demps bowed slightly, and the people around him saw this and came over to help.
Taking advantage of this interval, the shrewd colonel quietly glanced at several of his absolute henchmen.
"Please forgive me for my rudeness, Herald!"
Colonel Demps sat upright in a wooden chair with the support of his subordinates.
Vic shrugged indifferently, "Feel free, Sir!"
"Herald..."
Major Barandal, who was in the way again, interrupted Vic's conversation with Demps very rudely, ignoring the stares of the crowd that fell on him.
He said slowly: "Since it is a leak, if I don't guess wrong, Lord Viscount must have found out who leaked the secret!"
Vic had already turned his head, and he looked at Colonel Demps without the slightest movement out of the corner of his eye, and he instantly understood!
The smile on his face was even worse, he nodded slightly, and then said, "Of course!"
"So!" Major Barandel took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice, "I would like to ask you, is there anyone in our navy in Seka City who is involved in this?"
"Well..."
"Colonel!" Vic was about to reply, when a louder voice suddenly sounded in the room, and he interrupted Vic's next words, and when everyone's eyes fell on him, he lowered his voice again: "Colonel, this kind of thing, I think, it is better not to say it on such an occasion!"
The person who spoke was Colonel Demps's first mate, Lieutenant Colonel Ender.
"This kind of thing, it should be said here!" Colonel Demps waved to Lieutenant Colonel Ender, motioned for him to stand aside, and then said to Vic, "Go on!"
The smile on Vic's face was even more pronounced at this point, and instead of giving an immediate answer, he slowly glanced around, as if he were examining the prisoners, and stayed on everyone's face for at least a second or more.
Just as everyone was about to lose their patience, Vic stood up and said to Colonel Demps, "Sir, I don't know who they are, but I do know what they do in the army!"
"Then tell me their positions!" Colonel Demps said patiently, his eyes fixed on Vic.
In fact, when Major Barandel raised this question, everyone was already vigilant!
At this moment, Colonel Demps's words obviously made the atmosphere in the room even more tense.
Be quiet!
It was as if the crowd had fallen silent, and the room was as quiet as death.
Everyone involuntarily clenched the hilt of the sword at their waist.
"Sir, maybe your subordinate just said it right, but don't say this kind of thing on such an occasion!"
Vic was still smiling at the moment, and he kindly reminded Colonel Demps.
Hearing this, Colonel Demps's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a faint murderous aura in his eyes, he gently stretched out his right hand, and the attendant next to him immediately understood, and handed him a navy-specific saber into his hand.
This saber has just experienced a battle, and although the blood stains on it have been wiped clean, the familiar smell of faint blood and iron is still very obvious.
The colonel looked at the saber in his hand, and suddenly removed the delicate command sword at his waist.
He then handed the commanding sword, which symbolized the highest honor in Secca City, to Lieutenant Colonel Kelly next to him.
"Take it!"
Lieutenant Colonel Kelly was stunned, obviously did not react, and everyone around him was shocked!
"Colonel!"
Lieutenant Colonel Kelly naturally refused to accept it, and he didn't dare to accept it!
"I said, take it!"
Colonel Demps's tone was firm, and no one else could refute him.
Lieutenant Colonel Kelly understood his boss's temper, and after a long silence, he took the command sword, and at the same time he secretly thought to himself: if it is really dangerous to wait, even if he fights for his life, he must protect the colonel's safety.
"You go out and wait for my order!" said Colonel Demps suddenly, "this is an order!"
Kelly, who was accustomed to listening to orders, was able to resist Demps's orders, but he did not immediately carry out his boss's orders, but when he saw the look in his boss's eyes, his heart suddenly moved, but he immediately took the order and walked towards the door!
Immediately, the Colonel drew his sword, held it horizontally in his hand, looked Vic with both eyes, and said, "Now tell the traitor!"
Feeling Colonel Demps's determination, Vic smiled and said, "Of course, Sir, he is..."
"Boom!"
"Ding!"
Two successive sounds of weapons unsheathed, and one of them slamming, interrupted Vic's next words.
Now, there is no need to say it, because someone jumped out on his own.
Everyone followed the prestige, but it was Ander, who didn't know when he walked to the door, his saber and Lieutenant Colonel Kelly's saber collided together, "No one wants to go out!"
Immediately, he shouted again: "Young Master Leon, what are you still hesitating about, only by killing the messenger and Demps and his people, we will have a way to live!"
In fact, without Ender's shouting, Leon had already acted, and the sword in his hand had already stabbed at the nearby Demps, with the distance between the two of them, Demps had no way to retreat!
The Colonel seems to be certain to die!
But Leon's saber didn't stab out, and an invisible aura blocked his sword.
"Magic?"
Leon's face changed.
"I didn't expect it, Major, it really has something to do with you!"
Colonel Demps had a rare look of regret on his face!
"I don't have a choice, Colonel! Sometimes being born into a big family is not a good thing!" said Leon helplessly.
