Chapter 35: The Fall of the Adjudicator (5)

For Sandru's trip, his generals did not feel the slightest surprise. This guy's style is always that the dragon can't see the end, he shows up when he's happy, and no one can find him when he's unhappy. Now everyone has learned to wait, waiting for the fruit on the tree to fall automatically, and there is no possibility of falling from the tree and getting hurt.

Sandru successfully foresaw that Fiona and Kendall would lose each other, and he could reap the benefits of the fisherman. When the fruit was about to fall, Steve led the army of the undead in the north to snatch the fruit like an enclave...... Alas, is Mistress Sandru going to wait for Steve and Kendall to fight again?

But when the news from Erathia arrived, the camp exploded. The necromancers began to talk.

"Oh, Tekken Castle is almost an empty city, we've been on the border for so long, we've wasted a great opportunity!"

"Yes, that's why Catherine had to withdraw her troops to help Tekken Castle!"

"It seems that our Commander's Excellency has finally lost his eyes!"

"Hey, but he's right most of the time, and Dia's conquest says it all!"

"I said he wants us to wait at the border, and if we do, there's no soup left! Steve will surely sweep all of Erathia!"

"yes, who knows what he's thinking?"

Everyone was in front of Sandru's tent, and his guard was stammering and explaining, "I've said it many times, Lord Sandru will come back when he thinks fit!"

"Isn't it appropriate now? God, if I knew this was the case, I wouldn't kill the few sheep left this morning, anyway, I would just go to the grassland to graze and be a sheepherd!"

"Hey, last time we didn't pursue Catherine's troops, Lord Sandru criticized us for delaying the plane! Now that he's not there, we continue to wait like this, isn't it another delay?"

"Yes, let's not wait for him, let's start sending troops!"

"Don't forget, he's the commander-in-chief of Army Group East! Since he said he wanted us to wait, are you going to disobey his orders?"

Everyone was silent when they heard this. Lord Sandru never seemed to be soft on those who refused to obey orders.

"I'm sure the Commander had his mind. Wouldn't it be better if there was nothing to do now? If you want to walk a horse, if you want to be a shepherd, go to a shepherd, if you want to hunt, go hunting, and everyone is free!"

Everyone talked about it and dispersed.

However, in the Iron Fist Castle facing the great enemy, the people not only did not disperse, but slowly gathered more and more.

The first to arrive was Princess Catherine's mother, former Prince Regent Laurel. She hurried from Standwick Castle with five thousand soldiers, and it seems that Standwick Castle is just that!

"Thank you, Laurel!" Her Majesty the Queen Mother and Queen Seya personally went out of the city to greet her.

Laurel jumped off the horse and hugged the two women: "The men have gone to the front, then we women will fight this battle of defense!"

Yes, there are a lot of women in Laurel's team, all of them very strong. It was her elite women's guard, and at Standwick Castle, people preferred to call it the Lady Force, and only the strongest men in the world would dare to marry them, or they would be beaten!

"Report!" a fast horse galloped from the foot of the mountain.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine led three legions to successfully withdraw from the Dia border and come to reinforce us!"

"Looks like we're about to have another woman here!" said Thea, cheering.

"The four women of our Einfast family will teach the undead a hard lesson!" the Queen Mother nodded with great certainty.

At sunset, Catherine led three legions into Tekken Castle.

The people of the city finally breathed a sigh of relief. These days, their hearts have been hanging in the air, and although they can see the determination on Queen Saiya's face, they are inevitably a little worried, will she be able to hold the castle?

The four women held hands and wept with joy.

"Catherine, you've given up the border, your uncle Kendall might ask you for his guilt!" Laurel was a little worried.

"I only said that the eastern front is stable so that the spring offensive can go ahead as scheduled, and I didn't say that I will stay on the border for the rest of my life!" Catherine shook her head, "I have completed this mission, and now it is everyone's responsibility to make sure that Tekken Castle is still standing!"

"How dare he?" said the Queen Mother, "is he embarrassed to say it? He took almost all the troops with him, and left us and my mother alone in this empty city! If Catherine hadn't arrived in time, he might never have seen us again!"

"Eldred has made contact with me, and her Second Legion is on its way here day and night, and her army will arrive if we can hold out for a few days. "Catherine has good news for everyone.

"Great!" a smile bloomed on Saiya's face.

"What about the old man, when will he arrive?" asked the Queen Mother expectantly.

"Uncle Kendall continues to pursue Fiona's demon legions. He said that Fiona must not be allowed to withdraw smoothly, otherwise it will be a return to the mountain, leaving a hidden danger!"

"Look at it, the old man's heart is to fight, he wishes that our mother and mother would die sooner, so that we can find a cheap woman to be merry and happy!"

"Can't say that......" Laurel comforted, "didn't he send Eldred to help, maybe his position is better suited to pursuit, not to galloping!"

"Wait for him to come back, I will never spare him!" the Queen Mother kept wiping away tears.

Catherine took Saya's hand, and the two sisters muttered.

"How many months?" Catherine looked at her sister's stomach with a smile on her face, with mixed feelings.

"It's been five months...... "Saiya happily stroked her slightly bulging belly and said, "Sister, your belly seems to be bigger than mine......"

Catherine's face flushed. Before marrying Roland, she was already two months pregnant, but it was a secret that could not be said, so she had to blush and explain: "Maybe I ate too much and was too full, he grew too fast......

"I envy you, sister!" said Saya looking at Catherine adoringly, "I don't have such a good appetite, and I don't have any appetite at all...... all day."

Three women in one play, what about the four women? It should be a very lively play, right?!

The next day, the crowd that had fled from the north appeared on the horizon. They dragged their children and daughters, helped the old and the young all the way, and their faces were full of sadness and helplessness about leaving their hometown.

"Open the gates!" ordered Queen Saiya, who was standing on the wall.

The hearts of everyone on the city walls trembled. Behind this group of poor people, there must be an army of the undead scattered all over the mountains! It's finally coming!

The castle was already overcrowded, but there was still a steady stream of people fleeing.

Seya personally distributed food to the refugees in the square, while Catherine kept asking them for information she wanted to know.

Late at night, Catherine stood on the city walls and looked out to the north. She had stood on top of a similar wall countless times and looked into the distance, expecting her lover to appear there.

"Guzi, you're finally here!" Catherine sighed, "I hope you still know me and remember the good times we spent together in the Lost Lands......"

Under the moonlight and stars, Catherine saw the first army. But it wasn't an army of the undead, with flags flying in their ranks.

Catherine knew that it was a coalition force that had lost the battle. They have been covering behind the ranks of refugees, which has saved so many people.

The only one who came to report was Legion Commander Hart. With a face full of shame, he knelt down on one knee in front of his commander and lowered his proud head: "Please punish me, I did not complete the task you gave me!"

"I know you've done your best!" Catherine took his hands to him, "You behaved heroically, your father will be proud of you!"

"He didn't have the face to come to see you......" Hart stood up, his head still bowed, "All the way down from the city of Shiyan, we have suffered a lot of defeats!"

"I'm glad to hear he's alive!" said Catherine sincerely, "He's a stubborn old man who doesn't want to die in a fight!" Hart, tell me, is what they say true?"

Hart certainly knew what Catherine was referring to. He nodded, "Yes, Guzi has forgotten everything! he killed High Priest Eric, killed Commander Leo, and even Tanan almost died at his hands!"

He ...... Did he really turn into a beetle?"

"That's not it...... But his whole body was crawling with hard scarabs, and he was invulnerable, and no sword could hurt him!"

"I ...... I'd like to meet him, and see if he can remember the past......"

"You must not have such a terrible thought!" exclaimed Hart, "he doesn't know anyone, and he said he wanted his axe to taste the blood from my neck!"

But Catherine still had one last glimmer of hope in her heart. If he is really willing to raise his sword against himself, then let himself die at his hands!

"Your Royal Highness Princess, there are some outsiders who have retreated from outside the Great Wall in the north, and there are two girls who are said to be Gu Zi's personal guards, and they have been following him, do you need to ask them about their situation?"

"Oh my God, he'...... He carried me on his back...... Are you looking for a woman again?" Catherine was furious.

"It's not a woman, it's a girl...... "Hart shook his head, "at least that's what I seem...... I heard that Gu Zi went to Guanwai to negotiate an alliance with the tribal leaders, and the tribal leaders gave him these two girls, as a testimony to the alliance!"

"He could have refused!" Catherine was still angry!

There is such a good thing, I believe that no man in the world will refuse. Hart muttered inwardly, but didn't dare to say it.

"Well, wait for them to come, I'll have to ask them properly!" Catherine's eyes continued to look out of the city.

"How many troops do you have left?" Catherine asked in surprise, "I think there are at least three legions of troops stationed in the barracks at the foot of the mountain!"

"My legion is only four thousand men left, and many of the dead warriors are your veterans who have returned from the Lost Lands!" Hart's eyes darkened slightly: "Those people are not mine, those are the armies of York, Kenloe, McLind, and Yoland......"

"I am willing to exchange all the gold coins for them to continue to live!" Catherine said with regret, "they are the best and most loyal soldiers! In the army, they are always the best teachers and models for the soldiers!"

"Do you see? That's Kenlowe, that's York!" Hart said, pointing to the troops at the foot of the hill as they entered the camp, "Yolande and McLind should still be in the back to cover the retreat." ”

"I don't understand, the four of them are not only brave and good heroes, but also kings or lords who dominate one side! How can they have nearly 50,000 troops, and they will be defeated all the way?"

"They lack a unified command in all directions!" Hart said, "Yolande said that he and Gu Zi are the best brothers, and since everyone is here to rescue Gu Zi, he should be the commander-in-chief of this coalition without dispute!"

Catherine began to shake her head: "I'm afraid there is no one in the world who can be their commander-in-chief, unless it is ......"

Catherine didn't continue, but sighed slightly.

He sneered and said, "Yoland, are you really a good brother of Guzi?" Of our four-way army, only you have the least number of soldiers to bring a thousand unicorns, which is not enough for me to stuff my teeth!"

"You can't blame Yoland, I know Erie's predicament, it's not easy for him to come!" Catherine said.

"Yes, Yolande thundered, and the two of them immediately fought in the tent, and York and McLind couldn't pull it back.

In the end, both of them were tired, and both of them were blue and swollen and panting.

Merlind is the Witch King of the Tytalia Marshes, but it seems that she has no intention of getting involved in the position of commander-in-chief of the Allied forces, so York became the leader of the Alliance. ”

"York, I know him!" Catherine nodded, "He is very remarkable, not only does he have the brave and strong bloodline of his father's savage clan, but he also inherits the strength of his mother's elven clan!"

"Yes, he's still a great commander! But you have to know that if one finger in one hand wants to bend and the other wants to stand up, this fist can't be clenched in any way!

York couldn't help it. Although he claims to be the commander-in-chief of the Allied forces, he must not whip the king or lord of a country in public! Therefore, the Allied forces are actually scattered and fighting on their own, so how can they not suffer defeat?"

"This won't work!" Catherine shook her head desperately, "All of us are the same enemy, how can we fight in the nest? No, I have to meet them!"

"They won't see you!"

"Why?" asked Catherine curiously.

"They don't have a face!" Hart said, "but they finally agreed to defend their dignity under the Iron Fist Castle and fight the army of the undead, so that the people of the world can see that they are not deserters!"

Catherine couldn't help but laugh: "Oops, it's good that they can still remember the hero's courage and honor!"

"You might be the best fit to lead them!" Hart said expectantly.

"Yolander will definitely listen to me, McLind maybe, but Kenlowe and York not necessarily. They're all too proud people, aren't they?"

Hart nodded vigorously.
