Chapter 97: Sacrifice
Like a meteor piercing the sky, the Ling Wind Spear that shone with cyan light shot like lightning towards Meng Fan, the lord of Black Rock City, who was retreating on horseback. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
As if sensing the coming of death, Meng Fan, who was riding on a horse, turned around and looked behind, and a green light became clearer and clearer in Meng Fan's eyes.
"Claude. A shout sounded in his ears, and Meng Fan rolled off his horse.
"Lord Claude. Tiberius rushed to Meng Fan's side and picked up the lord who had fallen to the ground.
Meng Fan raised his head and looked ahead, Bogula fell not far away, "Big brother." Meng Fan crawled to Bogula's side with his hands and feet, and Bogula's chest was pierced by a large hole in the Ling Feng gun.
"Claude, ...... Escape. Bogula, who was hugged by Meng Fan, looked at his younger brother and closed his eyes after saying the last sentence.
At the moment when Gerald, the commander of the French army, threw the Lingfeng spear at Meng Fan, Bogula flew and pounced on his younger brother, pushing Meng Fan who was riding a horse down, while Bogula himself was shot by the Lingfeng spear.
"Big brother...... The eldest brother ...... hugged his dead brother Meng Fan, and tears rolled down uncontrollably.
"Lord Claude, we are leaving, and the Frans are coming after us. Tiberius anxiously tugged at the lord in grief.

After several hours of fighting, the French army captured Huquan Mountain, and after taking Huquan Mountain, the commander of the French army, Gerald, did not immediately march to the west, but let the army stay at Huquan Mountain for repairs.
In the battle of Huquan Mountain, the Gilgidian royal army lost 15,000 casualties, and the Ziyang City Territory Army also suffered more than 5,000 casualties, and the Gilgidian Royal Army and the Ziyang City Territory Army have now withdrawn into Jumu City.
After entering the city of Giant Wood, Olam, the adjutant of the royal army, learned that the commander Herman had been assassinated.
"Mistress Dorne, you mean...... It was a dark mage who killed General Herman?" Oram had an expression of disbelief on his face, "It should be a dark mage, General Oram, I have never seen dark magic, the black shadow that killed General Herman is all shrouded in black mist, I suspect it is a kind of dark magic." Dorne, the commander of the Purple Sun City Territory Army, replied.
The dark mage has disappeared from the Qinglan continent for thousands of years, and few people have ever seen dark magic, and Dorn is not completely sure that the dark shadow is a dark mage.
Dorn brought Herman's body back to Giant Wood City, and the royal army adjutant Oram also saw Herman's body, Herman's flesh and blood all over his body withered, and among all the magic in the Qinglan Continent, only dark magic can cause this kind of damage to the human body.
"Did the Kingdom of Fran recruit a dark mage?" Oram wondered, and both Oram and Donne's first reaction was that Herman, the commander of the Royal Army, had been assassinated by an assassin sent by the Kingdom of Fran.
"Report, General, Claude, Lord of Blackstone City, has arrived in Giant Wood City with his territorial army. A herald stepped forward and reported, "Claude, this bastard still has the face to come back, General Oram, we should put Claude in jail." Dorne said angrily.
On Huquan Mountain, Claude, the lord of Black Rock City, who was supposed to be stationed in the camp on the east side of Huquan Mountain, fled with his army without a fight, and Herman, the commander of the royal army, once said that Claude would be executed.
"Go and bring Master Claude here. Oram wasn't as resentful as Dorne, but spoke to the herald in a deep voice.
After a while, a brown-haired man followed the herald, and this brown-haired man was Tiberius, a tax collector under the lord of Blackstone, Claude Kuru.
Tiberius saluted Oram, the lieutenant of the royal army, and Dorne, commander of the Purple Sun Territory Army.
"What about Master Claude?" Oram asked, staring at Tiberius standing in front of him. "Lord Claude is in a very sad mood now, and your lord has sent me to meet you, General Oram,......" replied Tiberius.
"Feeling extremely sad? What is there for him to be sad about? He fled from the battlefield with the territorial army, I don't think he dared to come. Dorne snorted.
"Lord Dorne, our Blackstone Territory Army has not escaped. Tiberio looked at Dorne Nolan, the commander of the Purple Sun City Territory Army, and said, "General Herman placed the Black Rock City Territory Army on the east side of Huquan Mountain because he wanted us to consume the spirit of the French army, and to put it bluntly, let us send the Black Rock City Territory Army to death in front......
"Is this the reason why you disobeyed orders and fled from the battlefield?" Oram looked at Tiberius, "General Oram, it is true that our Blackstone Territory Army abandoned the camp, but we did not flee the battlefield, Lord Claude led the Territory Army around the rear of the Franc army to encircle the French army. Tiberius turned his head and said.
"You have encircled the Fran army from the rear?" Oram showed a surprised look, "That's right, Lord Claude originally wanted to go around to the rear and attack the French army by surprise, but he didn't expect to be discovered by the Francans, and the Silver Knights in the French army did not participate in the attack on the camp on the top of Huquan Mountain, our Black Rock City Territory Army and the Silver Knights ran into ......" Tiberius nodded.
After listening to the brown-haired man's words, Oram thought about it carefully, yes, he had not seen the most combat-effective Silver Knights in the French army in the battle guarding the camp on the top of Huquan Mountain.
"We failed to defeat the Silver Knights, and the Blackstone Territory Army lost nearly 10,000 soldiers, and the Territory Army's commander, Lord Bogula, also died in the battle. Even Tiberius, who did not express his emotions casually, said these words with a touch of sadness.
Tiberius saw Bogura pounce on his brother Claude without hesitation with the Lingfeng spear that was shooting at Huquan Mountain, and Bogura saved his brother, but he was shot by Lingfeng Spear.
"Bogula, he's dead......" Dorn was stunned for a moment, Dorn, the commander of the Purple Sun City Territory Army, knew Meng Fan's brother Bogula, who was a brave and fearless warrior.
"Your Excellency Tiberius, now that Huquan Mountain has been occupied by the Francis, and soon the Franken army will launch an attack on Jumu City, please go back and tell Lord Claude that he can come and discuss with us the strategy against the Frankens as soon as possible. Oram looked at the brown-haired man in front of him and said solemnly. "I understand, General Oram, that I will convey your words to Lord Claude. Tiberius bowed to Oram.
In a room in Giant Wood City, Meng Fan, the lord of Black Rock City, sat on a chair with his head bowed. A dark shadow slowly emerged from the dark corner of the room.
Meng Fan raised his head, and a black-robed man appeared in front of him, it was the dark mage Mar Saha.
"Master Claude, what you have told me to do is done. Marsahar's mouth made a hoarse voice. Meng Fan's lips moved and he wanted to say something, but in the end he just nodded silently.
"Lord Claude, I heard that His Excellency Bogula, the commander of the territorial army, sacrificed ......" Mar Saha's blood-red eyes stared at the black-haired man sitting in front of him, and when he heard Mar Saha's words, Meng Fan's arm on the armrest of the seat trembled.
"Mar Saha, dark magic...... Can people come back from the dead?" Meng Fan asked, looking up.
"Chatter, of course not, Lord Claude. The black-robed man in front of him let out a hoarse and shrill laugh. "A ...... who can be awakened by dark magic Only the undead. Marzahar's blood-red eyes shone with a strange light as he spoke.
