Just when Lintillot and Sidwig decided to retreat temporarily, and Kahlan decisively gave up his entanglement with Judy, the battle for the Red Fortress also entered a white-hot phase. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Due to Yuren's previous breakthrough, Nahias's guardian aura has shrunk significantly, and with his aura dissipating, the Sith Empire soldiers who have lost their protection immediately encountered a strong attack from Messiah and Seminya, as sisters, they almost unanimously chose to attack completely, although such an attack will definitely cause a large number of casualties in the army in peacetime, but in the face of an army that can't be killed without fighting, and an army that has long been killed, any resistance is meaningless.

The ability of the gifted knight is like a double-edged sword, those soldiers have been accustomed to having the power of talent to protect their defense, in fact, there are many times in the face of the enemy's attack, they do not defend themselves, but because of the protection of the power of talent, they subconsciously block there, but now, after losing this power, they have no way to rely on their own strength to organize an effective defense for a while, and they were immediately caught off guard by the twin sisters. What frightened them even more was that the attrition of the other side was completely proportional to the increase in the number of troops of the other side -- by now, the undead army under the control of Seminya had reached 9,000 people, all of whom were from the Sith army.

And with this opportunity, the twin sisters finally began the battle they do best.

Seminya directly led his men into the encirclement, and in fact, those soldiers are also high morale at the moment, they are also men, and men have all had dreams of personal heroism, everyone wants to be a thousand, kill seven in and seven out among the enemy, and face the enemy who is several times the number of their own without changing their face. It's just that reality is often the opposite of dreams, and with their strength, they will obviously only die a miserable death if they want to play personal heroism among people who are several times more than themselves.

But now they are not afraid, under the aura of the Messiah, they will not die, they will not be in pain, although they will be injured, they will also heal quickly, which makes these soldiers immediately surge with the passion of personal heroism, making them fight more open than the soldiers of the Sith Empire, and more attacking, while the Sith Empire is completely panicked, although the number of the other party is much smaller than them, but it is also very demoralizing to kill no matter how they kill, so in the face of the attack led by Messiah, most of the soldiers of the Sith Empire are a little at a loss, and Messiah seized this opportunity to launch another round of onslaught, leaving a pile of corpses。 The corpses were quickly infiltrated by the aura of Seminya, who followed from behind, and returned to the fight...... This is clearly not a good surname cycle for the Sith Empire.

For now, they could only hope that General Nahias would help them salvage their defeat, but in fact, Nahias himself was in crisis.

He wasn't nervous at first, because Yuren's previous words had already made his attitude clear, and in Nahias's opinion, Yuren was clearly planning to make a quick deal and then get back to deal with Lintilot, so his task was to delay his pace as much as possible, and he could delay for a while.

But after a few rounds of fighting, Nahias was a little helpless to notice that Yulian's previous words seemed to be just casual talk, look at his current appearance, which one looks like he is in a hurry to attack?

Right now, on the front wall of the red fortress, it has completely become a stage for two people, and those soldiers still wanted to run up to protect their main general, but Yu Lian only had a few swords in his hand to completely make them recognize the difference in strength between the two sides, and they could only stand behind and watch the battle between the two in front of them.

And what about Yuren?

During this time, he launched only four or five attacks, and the rest of the time he was going around in circles -- not so much that he was looking for flaws in the other side, but rather that he was simply taking a walk, and he did not see the intention of fighting at all.

This made Nahias quite depressed, and he had a feeling that he had nowhere to go. You must know that the weakness of the gifted knights is actually obvious, their natural abilities and beliefs are equal, and for this they must pay a price, that is, they cannot violate their beliefs. Nahias's belief is to protect, which means that he can't take the initiative to attack, he can only defend against the opponent's attack and then counterattack, which is what he does. And now facing Yu Lian, if the other party doesn't attack, he can't get out. According to common sense, Nahias should take the initiative at this time to at least break the deadlock, because at this moment his troops are suffering a crushing defeat, and if he does not make adjustments, then the 20,000 Dosius army will be completely wiped out.

And now the problem is that Nahias can't take the initiative to attack at all, and he doesn't dare to do so, because then he may violate his "guarding" beliefs, in fact, sometimes faith is idealistic, but it must also conform to some ethereal laws, sometimes you think you are violating your beliefs, but your natural power is still there. But sometimes you feel like you're doing the right thing, but you're deprived of your power. Occasionally, this is the weakness of gifted knights, who may have gained some degree of mastery of the rules, but because of this, they have been put in heavy shackles and cannot break free.

There are gains and losses, and the world is always fair.

And now Nahias is encountering this problem, he can insist on defense, but when his army is killed, then there is no point in being here alone, and at that time being besieged by three talented knights will definitely be a dead end. And if he took the risk of attacking, there was little guarantee that what he would do would not violate his convictions -- in fact, even Nahias himself was a little frightened when he came up with the idea, and he had not thought of relying on the initiative to attack in order to control the situation for many years.

And once his actions are found to be contrary to his faith, the punishment for Nahias is very severe,1 he will immediately lose his natural powers, and then his soul will be shattered and completely disappeared in the agony of violating his faith, and at that time, the outcome will be the same, without any change.

This left Nahias in a dilemma, as he initially thought the situation was in his own hands, and now Julien's performance showed him that in fact the reins had changed hands.

The only thing that puzzled Nahias was that he wasn't worried about the other two lines of defense.

This is the benefit of the geists, because of the contractual relationship with Yuren, they can report their current situation to Yuren almost anytime and anywhere, and Yuren can quickly respond and adjust even in the middle of a battle. This is due to the influence of the two-way connection between the two parties with the soul contract. So Nahias had no idea what was going on over there, but Julien had already gotten answers from Charlotte and Judy.

Kahlan was as defeated as ever, but then Judy reported that he had left the battle, most likely a retreat, or a trip to the Lintillot front, but either way, the Zach family would be fine.

As for the most troublesome Bird family front, according to Charlotte, the effect of the medicine can last for four to five hours, but she also considers the notoriously conservative and cautious attitude of alchemists, because the stimulated West V will inevitably increase the consumption, and his body is not the body of a gifted knight after all, and whether he can withstand the huge power inside without collapsing is also a question, so she can finally be sure that the effective time is two hours, and once the two hours pass, whether it can reach the predetermined five hours is up to fate。

And Yulian's surname obviously does not belong to the type of resignation.

Even if it's two hours, it depends on how you use it. For many, it may be "only two hours", while for others, it is "two hours left". Judging by Yuren's performance now, it is clear that he falls into the latter category.

In fact, Yulian is not in a hurry at all. It took him a lot of time to get here, but it only took a second to get back to the Twilight Forest, and in the Twilight Forest, the Dragon Knight had already prepared and waited for their appearance, and then immediately flew to the front line of the Bird family, because he flew much faster than he walked, so it only took less than half an hour to arrive. And it doesn't take many people, Yulian believes that as long as he and Messiah and Semiya appear there, then Lintilot has no other way but to retreat.

And now, less than twenty minutes have passed, and he has at least an hour to spare.

So Yulian wasn't in a hurry at all, even if he was wandering around the periphery like this, after an hour had passed, even if Nahias was still alive, there were probably not a few people left in his army.

So he's a sure win.

This is also what Yuren needs, a perfect victory without any ups and downs, suppressed from beginning to end, he wants the entire continent to know that the Knights of the End are invincible.

No one is incomprehensible in front of them.

And now, Nahias has tasted it. He didn't know that the whole continent was incomprehensible, but now the old general found that he had no solution anyway.

Defending will lose, attacking can also lose, winning? This may have existed at first, but it no longer exists.

For the first time in decades, the old general felt so dazed, and he didn't know what he had to do to redeem the defeat, because now it seemed that the defeat was irretrievable.

Despite this, Nahias did not let his guard down, he raised his shield and carefully observed Yuren's movements, turning around in accordance with his movements. He still didn't know what the opponent's ability was, but Nahias would never forget the breath stagnation he felt when Yuren broke through his defense, this young man obviously had a very dangerous ability, although the situation in front of him also worried him, but when facing a talented knight who might be stronger and more powerful than himself, he simply didn't have the extra heart to care.

Compared to Nahias's cautiousness, Yulian was much more relaxed, his left hand hung down, and his right hand was dragged on the ground with a long sword, frankly speaking, this posture is actually not very good to attack, if the opponent suddenly counterattacks, Yulian may even lose his balance and center of gravity because he can't smoothly resist the opponent's attack, thus losing the opportunity. But now he is actually doing this to blatantly mock Nahias, since he can't make a gesture of taking the initiative to attack, then he doesn't need to be careful of the opponent's counterattack.

There is still more than an hour to go.

Yuren even took the time to glance at the situation below the fortress, which was now completely in the range of street fighting, in fact, by this point, the red fortress had been lost, because its strongest walls were behind the Sith Empire soldiers, not in front of them. So, they have no way back. And now Messiah is leading the soldiers to launch wave after wave of charges in the Sith Empire's army to disrupt their formation, while Semiya is "picking up leaks" in the rear, turning more and more Sith Empire soldiers' corpses into her subordinates, and then pressing on them, forcing the Sith Empire's soldiers to further shrink the space, and in this way, Messiah's results will be more, and Semiya can also get manpower to make up for it again...... Everything is going in the direction of its own plans.

However, for the veteran Nahias, Yulian still maintains a trace of caution.

In fact, there is only one question that needs to be solved in front of him now, and that is whether Nahias should be killed or stayed.

If it was Sidwi or Kahlan in front of him, then Yulian would definitely not be so entangled, although these two people helped the Sith Empire a lot, but they were not very important figures, maybe the Sith Empire would be horrified by their deaths, but it would definitely not be too chaotic. He also knew very well that the popularity of those two people was not very good.

But Lintillot and Nahias are a different matter, if they kill Lintilot, the Sith Empire will definitely fight back wildly, and the rabbit will bite when it is in a hurry, and no one knows how crazy the Sith Empire will become after killing Lintillot. If Julien's plan right now was to completely destroy the Sith Empire, he wouldn't mind. But the problem is that his main goal at the moment is to revive Orut, so the problem arises, if he really kills Lintilot, then the Sith Empire has a high probability of slaughtering everyone in the kingdom of Orlut, which is not impossible for them.

But Nahias is different.

Yulian didn't know very well what the popularity of the four generals of Damnation Rinahias was, but the reputation of this old general in the Sith Empire had been heard, so he was mainly thinking about whether killing the other party would help his goal of reviving Orrut.

It is true that it is not difficult for Yuren to kill Nahias, and it can also make the Sith Empire lose a defensive general, after all, for so many years, only Nahias has been defending the border to ensure the stability of the Sith Empire. The other three don't have such characteristics, Lintillot doesn't have time, and Sidwig and Karan are completely unsuitable.

But Nahias is a Sith veteran after all, and if he is really killed, the Sith Empire will definitely want revenge...... No matter how sane Lintillot is, her subordinates can't be just as sane, and the fact that the border guards affiliated with Nahias are the most, if Lintillot doesn't make this decision, then they may even take it upon themselves to kill Orrut.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Yuren thought for a moment before finally making a decision.

He stopped.

Now, forty minutes have passed.

And seeing Yuren stop, Nahias immediately became nervous, the other party had been walking consistently before, and now that he stopped, it was obvious that he was about to make a change!

Of course, Nahias didn't know that in fact, Yulian was already thinking about the impact of killing himself just now, he just thought that in such a combat battle, in the face of the talented knight, although the other party had spare strength, he must be carefully looking for his flaws, if this veteran could know the "five-year plan" in Yulian's mind at this moment, would he directly vomit blood and die.

At this moment, Yu Lian flipped the long sword, and then slowly retracted the sword into its scabbard.

His movements were slow, but Nahias's eyes widened as he stared at the slow-moving blade, he didn't understand what Yuren was trying to do, but he felt a huge, overwhelming heaviness.

"Ka. ”

And at this moment, the sword was unsheathed.

Then, with a slide of the fingers of his right hand, he regained his grip on the hilt.

And in the next moment, black lightning pierced the air!

Bite!!

Almost instinctively, Nahias raised his shield, and with a slight misstep, he blocked it.

The slightest oppressive force vanished in an instant, but this time Nahias didn't have time to strike back again, as out of the corner of his eye, he had caught another black flash coming from his right side. This took the veteran by surprise, and he hurriedly turned his shield to fend again.

Fortunately, the shield in Nahias's hand was large enough to make up for the lack of speed with space, otherwise he would have been in a hurry just because of these two swords.

However, Yulen's offensive did not stop this time.

"Ding!"

With another clash, the black sword rose high and slashed diagonally down from the left side, striking Nahias's right shoulder.

Right!

This time, it was too late to move the shield, and Yulian's attack speed was too fast, and if he followed his speed to resist, he would inevitably lose his center of gravity. Luckily, Nahias still holds a long sword in his right hand, and this sword is not an ornament. Therefore, at the same time that Yulian attacked Nahias's right shoulder, the old general also resolutely raised his long sword and faced the opponent, while he did not look to the left and leaned over his body, trying to avoid the opponent's attack.

At this moment, Nahias's attention was completely focused on the black lightning that was speeding in, and because of this, he ignored the smile on the corner of Yuren's mouth.

The twin swords are staggered.

And at this moment, no one saw that a gray flash appeared on Yuren's sword, just as he had done when he had broken through the Nahias defense.

Nahias was just as careless, for then, his eyes widened in astonishment!

The old general clearly noticed that his original sword momentum against the other party suddenly stopped, no, it seemed a little incorrect to stop, he could feel that his action had been done, but it did not achieve the goal he wanted, it was obvious that he could block the other party, but this action had been completely over. And Yu Lian obviously didn't mean to let go of this opportunity, his sword edge even slowed down slightly, and then attacked his target again!

“！！！”

Bright red blood splattered the sky.

Nahias took two steps back in embarrassment, his body shaking, his resolute face pale with a hint of surprise, and he bit his lip so that he didn't cry out in pain. However, as long as you look at his crooked body, as well as his right shoulder, which has lost his right hand and is pouring blood, you can feel what kind of mood this veteran is in at this moment.

Nahias completely lost his composure, he understood that his attack had failed this time, but he didn't expect that the opponent would defeat him completely with a single blow -- Divine Grace was on top, he originally thought that Yulian might have defeated Sidwig before because of the little girl's arrogance, but now it seems that he has to change his mind.

Yuren didn't attack, he just shook off the blood from the sword, and then raised his head and glanced at Nahias, and it was this glance that also made the old general understand that he was gone, and if he didn't leave here again, then next time, it would be more than just an arm.

Thinking of this, Nahias did not hesitate any longer, and immediately jumped off the fortress wall from the other side.

"The whole army retreats!!"
