Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Blade of Ellish Huyan City

The group did not arrive at the city on the top of the mountain until late at night, at this time the guards were hiding behind the wall battlements and dozing, after feeling movement outside the wall, they got up to see what was going on, at this time the three of Fei Yue were still wearing black cloaks, in the shadow of the city wall, the three of them looked like ghosts in the night, and the guards immediately shivered when they saw the three of them in the haze.

"Stop," shouted the guard, "it's late at night, please come back at dawn!"

"Tell your general to come out!" Hotaru shouted to the guards hiding behind the battlements with only half of their heads poked out, "Just say that Hotaru has something important to convey!"

"Firefly?" the guard whispered, then patted the face of his colleague who was still half asleep next to him, "Firefly?"

"Don't make a fuss, what fireflies, this place where chickens don't poop and birds don't lay eggs, how can those assassins who are directly loyal to the Queen of the Moonlight come here?" The guard who was woken up lowered his helmet a little more, "Unless the group of golden mummies emerge during the day, don't make any noise with me, if something happens, we can't afford it, and we still have to find him in the end, and when he comes back, didn't he also say it?"

"Okay!" the guard was also honest, and after tidying up the armor, he first shouted to the three Feiyue people under the city, "Wait a minute, I'll go and report to the general!" Then he rushed to the general's temporary residence near the city wall, and it took about twenty minutes before and after the city gate was opened, and the sergeants on both sides still looked sleepy-eyed, and looked at the three Feiyue with some resentment.

The soldiers pouring out of the city parted a wide passageway, and a middle-aged man in golden armor walked out of the city quickly, the man had two scars on his face, one blind on his right eye, which continued to near the chin, and the other on the left side of his face near the ear, if it weren't for the thick beard that provided a lot of shelter for the wounds, I am afraid that it would really scare the crying child.

"I'm Hotaru!" Hotaru nodded slightly to the general, this action will only be used when the boss sees his subordinates, but now Fei Li's military rank, I am afraid there are few positions above the general, after seeing this action, the soldiers on both sides also frowned slightly, obviously Hotaru's behavior was understood as arrogance.

"Please come with me!" The general didn't say much, and there was no expression on his face, but he just took the three of Feiyue into the city, and the soldiers on both sides sighed helplessly, it seems that although this general looks fierce, he is actually a very friendly old man.

The layout of the city is different from what Feiyue has seen at present, it is built with a double-layer city wall, after entering the outer high city wall, there is a layer of city wall in the inner layer, and the guards of the outer city wall only have a few narrow roads to enter, but as far as Feiyue's observation is concerned, I am afraid that there is still content inside the city wall, but the appearance is invisible, and the inner city wall is shorter than the periphery, but it is thicker, just look up like this, and the degree of solidity is by no means comparable to the outer city wall.

Between the inner and outer walls was the army guarding the four walls, and the garrison of the city guards, and even the administration of the city was required to build here, which was probably the result of a compromise, after all, if those cowardly fellows were not allowed to go into danger, those fellows would not have been able to pay for the construction of such a city.

The general's residence is also here, along the wide road in the barracks, just a few minutes away, is the general's humble residence, in fact, it is just a dilapidated house, even the newly built hut in Ming'en Village is warmer and more comfortable than here.

"Your Majesty—" After entering the room and spreading the soldiers in coordination, the general fell to his knees on one knee, but before he could say a few words asking for forgiveness, he was helped up by Fei Yue.

"Don't be like this, I'm afraid you have shed more blood for this country than I have shed so far!" Fei Yue took off her cloak and draped her golden green hair over her shoulders, "A general who has shed so much blood for the country, how much contribution should I make to be entitled to this gift?"

Fei Yue stared into the general's eyes, as if she wanted to see through him. "General Liding, if I guessed correctly, the last time I was on the grassland, what I saw was the army led by you, why did you choose to stand by and watch from the sidelines when you saw the villagers being besieged and did not come forward to rescue?"

"First of all, I don't have any information to indicate that those villagers wearing bandit armor are villagers and not bandits, and secondly, that group of bandits has been peeking at our Huyan City for a long time, if we rush forward, but are calculated by the bandits and that group of golden monsters, the result will not be a simple city broken, and it is likely that all the villages and towns radiated with Huyan City as the center will be implicated!" Liding's eyes were like torches, not afraid of Feiyue's gaze at all, and he spoke loudly and without fear.

"So, do you know anything about the bandits?" Hotaru asked, "They have done a lot of evil in the area you guarded, and none of the villages and towns near the bandits' stronghold survived, how do you explain that?"

"I can't explain this, the bandits are more powerful than you have seen, we can't defeat them, their weapons and equipment are far better than ours, and there are more of them than us, I know that this is worthy of the people under our protection, but we can't do anything, if Your Majesty wants to lower the punishment, we will not complain!" General Liding still held his chest open, and there was no fear in his eyes.

Fei Yue stared at the general standing in front of him for a while, when he was stared at by this kind of gaze, even Earl felt a chill down his spine, the general was unmoved, "Gather all the soldiers, let me see your subordinates, I want to know what kind of people are protecting my people here far away from Fei'er!" After a long time, Fei Yue turned her gaze to Earl and nodded to Earl and Hotaru, the two of them understood, retreated into the shadows and disappeared.

General Liding saluted Fei Yue, then also exited the house, began to gather the existing army, the candlelight room was left Fei Yue alone, she sat on a square bench, her eyes slightly closed, as if closing her eyes to recuperate, of course, it is more likely to be thinking about what Li Ding said about the news of the Blade of Alyssh, as far as she knows, the members of the group of Blades of Elite are not well equipped, let alone any well-equipped, so is it elsewhere in this grassland, there is one or several strongholds of the Blade of Areish, and what she went to before only happened to be in the coreAnd most of the fighting members who were the main force of plundering were still scattered across this grassland? If this is the case, I am afraid that things will not be so easy after that!

"It seems that until now, people still firmly believe in the rumors of the Tiangao Emperor, and the behavior of those officials is really too blatant!" About ten minutes later, Earl and Hotaru returned to the hut, Earl was still carrying two thin men in pajamas, one of them had obscene eyes, Lao Gao with a thin mustache on his mouth, and two eyebrows that could not be seen without looking carefully hung between his forehead and eyes, if it wasn't for the Mediterranean, I am afraid that even his eyes would look closed.

The other one looks clear-eyed, and he can't find too many shortcomings in his figure, and there are even a few wisps of heroism between his eyebrows, and when he was thrown to the ground, there was nothing but anger in his eyes, and he didn't improve much after seeing Feiyue, but his face was not so gloomy.

At this time, General Liding, who had completed the assembly order, would also come, and he was stunned for a moment when he saw that the consul and the leader of the city guard were brought to Feiyue, but he just stood quietly aside and didn't say anything.

"What do you two have to say?" Hotaru said, "Archon, I wonder if you know a man named Hiero? As for you, don't tell me that a willing girl will cry for help!"

The thin archon didn't speak after hearing the name Hierro, but as far as his eyes kept rolling, he was probably thinking of some way to exonerate himself, as for the other young leader of the city guard, his face was suddenly red to the root of his ears, not to mention anger, even Hotaru and Feiyue didn't dare to look at it, but it was Liding, who was watching the play, laughed.

"Your Majesty, listen to me, there is no problem with this guy Hatcher's character, I can guarantee this with my life, when I went to deal with the golden monster before, he and his troops were also there, the only thing is that this guy and his wives like to play, and this time you happened to bump into it-hahahaha-"

"In that case—" Fei Yue nodded to Hotaru, telling Hotaru to let go of the self-conscious Hatchir, and then returned to the shadows, while the other, who was not treated so well, had already been drained of his soul by Earl before the arrogant archon could quibble.

"I have good news and bad news, which one do you listen to first?" Earl asked with a smile on his face after getting the information he needed.

"Good news!" Fei Yue said.

"The one we sealed before was the core stronghold of the bandits, and all the resources and reserves were sent from there, and the looted things were eventually returned there, and the orders were given from there!" Earl tossed aside the soulless Archon, and when he and Hotaru went to capture this guy, he had already got enough evidence to kill him without saying anything.

"Okay, I can already guess the bad news!" Fei Yue took a deep breath, the cold air was her heart also colder, "I just want to know if you have obtained the location of the Eilish Blade stronghold, otherwise we will be too passive!"

"If that's good news, yes, but I don't think it's been so long for them to be unaware of the destruction of the nest, and now they're either scattered and fled, or they're ready to take a gamble!"
