It's the first day.
After listening to the events of the first day, Admiral Phoenix finally put his anxiety at ease.
But then, the battle situation in the back was getting worse day by day.
Until, he heard the stars rising in the sky.
At that moment, even the old general, who was accustomed to seeing wind, frost, rain and snow, fell into a long silence.
That's a national mourning.
That's the elite of many empires.
What's more, among them is his old friend and old rival, the Frost Sage, Kel'thugad.
I think of those days of intrigue in West Insom, occasionally fishing together on the ice, and drinking a little Northland spirits by the way.
It's like yesterday.
"You old thing, you're still one step ahead of me. Although Phoenix's mouth was unpleasant, his face was full of awe.
He really wished to be there at that time, and with these imperial elites, he turned into stars and rose into the sky.
Pity.
"But come to think of it, with the blood of these elites spilled all over the sky, the fighters must be high-spirited and will not take a step back. "When he heard that the soldiers were getting worse and worse in the past few days, he was worried.
But hearing this, he understood that it was the powerhouses of the Demonic Warlock Association, who were using their own blood to arouse the blood of the entire human race.
Come to think of it, those soldiers who defend the city are no longer successful, and they should know that they must not retreat anymore.
"Well, it's true, after that, everyone was struggling to kill the enemy, and the demon seed was also repulsed, but ......" The cavalry who reported the news had a weathered face, and what he said earlier was extremely smooth, but here, he stopped talking.
In fact, Phoenix knew exactly what he wanted to say.
After all the powerhouses of the Demon Warlock Association turned into stars, the Central Empire had almost no frontal strength to resist the highest combat power on the Demon Seed's side.
And Winnington, as the supreme commander of the entire empire, still maintains a posture of standing still.
Rumors were even already circulating in the city that Winnington had fled west with his troops.
This was a few days ago, as the cavalryman had set out about two days earlier, and the starry night had only brought back some delayed news.
What happened to the latest battle is still a mystery.
Although in the last message, the morale of the human race is high.
No matter how strong the morale is, it can't make up for the substantial gap brought by the rank after all.
Even if Phoenix is a non-absolute hierarchist, he has to admit it.
If Winnington, the backbone of the Central Military Department, does not come out to preside over the overall situation, it will only be a matter of time before the Central Royal City is breached.
Winnington ...... What happened to the incident?
What the hell was he thinking?
For this nephew, who often plays cards out of the ordinary, Phoenix can't guess what kind of strategy he has.
It's just that so many winds and waves have come, this time, he shouldn't capsize, right?
"I know the details, you go down and rest first. Phoenix didn't make any comments, and his face didn't have the anxiety of being alone, but he said to the cavalryman with some wisdom in his hand, "It will pass." ”
As the current supreme commander of the Northwest and Winnington's own uncle, he naturally wants to put on the appearance of completely trusting his nephew.
Otherwise, the army's morale will be unstable, even if the Central Wangcheng side wins.
There are also big problems in the northwest.
When the messenger went down, Phoenix had no intention of resting.
He's still waiting.
He always felt that there would be news tonight.
Although, according to the agreement, the next news should arrive tomorrow.
However, there is such a premonition.
That was the cause of his restlessness tonight.
And sure enough, just after he continued to wait for more than an hour.
A hurried knock on the door broke the silence of the night once again.
"Come in. Phoenix immediately stood up.
The door was pushed open, but two people entered.
One is a subordinate he trusts in his daily life, and the other is a cavalryman who is tired and tired to death, and if it weren't for the support of his subordinate next to him, he would have to lie down directly on the ground.
This cavalryman, apparently, came from the Central Castle.
"Get him in!" Seeing this, Phoenix immediately pulled out a chair and asked his subordinates to quickly help the cavalryman over.
"General...... "That cavalryman was completely supported by a will, if he didn't have something important to accomplish, he might have died?"
"Speak slowly, speak slowly. Phoenix looked at the cavalryman, ready for the worst.
"What are you still doing here?
Looking at the subordinate on the side, who knew how to observe words and emotions on weekdays, was standing in the room at the moment, Phoenix, who was already extremely bad tonight, immediately burst into tears.
"But...... Checkmate. The subordinate was scolded like this, but he didn't retreat, but looked at Phoenix with an embarrassed face, "...... outside"
"Outside, outside, outside, outside, do you know what an important thing is going now?Where are those clever things you usually go? I don't know what to do?" Phoenix was completely merciless at this time, "Geka doesn't know, forget it, you're still here to make trouble? What's wrong? We're all dead? If I get up tomorrow and you haven't cleaned up the mess outside, I'll come and kill you all the people." ”
The subordinate seemed to have nothing to say by Phoenix's completely merciless words, he curled up his fingers, hid the blood stains on his fingertips that had not been wiped clean, and glanced at the cavalryman who had traveled thousands of miles away, and finally walked out quickly with his head bowed.
When the door closed slightly, Phoenix frowned slightly, and he vaguely sensed that something might not be right outside tonight.
It's just that compared to what he needs to know now, the things outside can be completely ignored.
"What the hell is going on?" "What the hell happened that a man who was supposed to arrive tomorrow night, arrived tonight.
"The general, he ...... Defeated!"
Hearing this, Phoenix couldn't help but take a step back.
