Chapter 798: Assassination in the Night
As night fell, the distant banks of the Oracle River lit up with fires, a sign that someone was stationed near the riverside, but it was different from yesterday. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
At this time, it was no longer the Far Eastern Army that was stationed on the banks of the Oracle River, but the Light Army from the Holy City of Light, led by Hussein, who had defeated them.
Having been routed by the enemy in just one night, the Far Eastern Army's defensive line was like a piece of paper, and it collapsed at an unbelievably fast rate.
The Far Eastern Army, which had originally attacked the area under the control of the Church of Light with a thunderous force, was forced to retreat into Kabi Mountain, where it survived and used the terrain to resist.
But at this time, they were already surrounded on the mountain, and they were trapped to death, and in this case, it was only a matter of time before they were destroyed.
In such a difficult and dangerous situation, Lin Ye, the Duke of the Far East, as the commander of the army, stood on the hillside and calmly looked at the bank of the Sacred Oracle River.
It was the camp he had lost from his stubbornness and strategic mistakes, the evening breeze was blowing, and the fire was "crackling" in the distance.
"My lord, this is just a small rout, with the protection of the god of darkness, you will definitely win in the end, so you must persevere, those heretics do not serve the god of darkness wholeheartedly, this is the key to defeat, it is really wise to arrest them. ”
Barbara walked towards Lin Ye, the moonlight reflected on her cheeks, charming and moving, indeed a rare stunner.
However, at this time, she took out a dagger from her waist and kept approaching the young man, who was rumored to be invincible.
But now it seems that he is not as powerful as rumored, so easily fooled, not only stubbornly stayed in the Sacred Oracle River, became the target of Hussein's attack, but also arrested his loyal subordinates, and it is not far from the point of betrayal to the people.
A man who once crisscrossed the territory of the empire, successively defeated the old forces of the empire led by Rhaegar, and then repelled the elven army in the north, the federal army in the south, the Strait fleet in the east, and even the crusaders of Gregor were defeated by him, is such a man, who will eventually fall here.
The thought that the dagger in her hand was about to be stained with the young man's blood made Barbara excited, and she kept getting closer.
The young man seemed unaware of the danger he was facing, still with his back to him, and the sky was full of stars.
"So, you finally can't hold your breath and are about to do it? In fact, it has reached this point, you can continue to wait, wait until the more suitable time to do it, this time is actually not suitable for you, it is easy to push yourself into a very dangerous situation. ”
Lin Ye still turned his back to her and didn't turn around, but he seemed to have an eye behind him, and he had seen Barbara's actions.
"Oh, have you noticed it, my lord? But at this juncture, the army has been routed, and the subordinates are estranged, is there any way to counterattack in this situation? It must be that you reacted too late, and now you have completely lost, lost to the hands of my little woman. ”
Barbara was a little surprised, but she was sure that he had no way to turn the tide now, although there were still two or three thousand men on Kabi Mountain, many of whom were willing to follow the young man in a fight to the death, but on the banks of the Oracle River, Hussein still led ten thousand elites.
And there are still 10,000 troops in the Holy Sword City that can come to support at any time, in the absence of supplies, these two or three thousand people will not be able to survive at all, do you want to let them go up and down the mountains and jump like monkeys to pick wild fruits to eat? At most, they will not be able to hold out for three days and will be defeated.
By this time, she no longer had the need to hide her face, and the dagger in her hand glittered in the moonlight, a dagger worthy of his identity to assassinate him, and she was also a top-notch assassin sent by the church that could kill him.
"Do you be naïve enough to think that I'm really at your mercy? Naively think that you can be easily defeated by you? If you really have such naïve thoughts, I think I have an obligation to remind you that you must not be too happy until the end, this is common sense. ”
Lin Ye turned around slowly, this time with his back to the vast full moon, and looked directly at the bewitching Barbara, who approached with a dagger in her hand.
"What do you mean by that? Do you think you still have the odds of winning? How is this possible, the army is rout, the enemy is being attacked on all sides, and the mountain is the tough Lord Hussein, you have no chance of winning at all, no matter from which point of view, you are an out-and-out dead end, let alone talk big!"
Barbara was angered by Lin Ye's words, obviously she was the winner, and this bastard was still there to say that she was too naïve?
Who is it that is really naïve to lead an army like this? This guy is too arrogant.
"That's right, I still have the odds of winning, I still have the big picture, I still have the big picture that you can't see with your short-sighted eyes, even if my army is routed now, even if my subordinates have begun to distrust me, even if I am trapped on this lonely barren mountain, deprived of supplies. ”
"But all this was expected, and once the conditions for victory were met, it would lead to a certain and only result, and that was to win the final victory of the war, and although I lost the battle of the Sacred Oracle, I would surely win the final war with excellent strategy!"
Lin Ye's tone was firm, even if he was facing the top assassin sent by the Church of Light, he didn't have the slightest fear, and spoke generously.
"I don't quite understand what you're talking about, but if you are killed, everything will be over for you, and this matter will be inevitable, and your subordinates alone will not be able to stop me, so accept the ruling given to you by the Goddess of Light!"
Barbara had no patience for the arrogant young man, and she stabbed him with a dagger, confident in that.
After all, she has been cultivated as an assassin by the Church of Light since she was a child, and she has carried out countless missions for more than ten years, and she has never missed.
Within the church, she is synonymous with death, not to mention the powerless ordinary young man in front of her, even those difficult giants have all died under her knife without exception, and this will be the final judgment for that young man.
"His subordinates can't stop you, so what if it's me, no one can attack him without my permission, anyone!"
Seeing that Lin Ye was about to be stabbed to death by her assassination, a figure flashed through the nearby woods and intercepted Barbara.
She was fast, even faster than Barbara, and in the darkness of the night, the light of the knife crisscrossed the city, and soon a dagger fell to the ground!
