Chapter 133: The Former Wolf and the Tiger

For Yulian, waiting for the rabbit is a very demanding skill. It requires not only a lot of patience, but also a fairly accurate judgment and self-confidence. If he was stupid and stayed here for half a month, but the other party did not act as he expected, then everything Yulian did was in vain. But for Yuren, he was very sure of his judgment, after all, he had seen it with his own eyes when the Kingdom of Orrut was building that secret passage, so he naturally had full confidence in it.

And as it turned out, just one day before the deadline for Yuren's booking, the rabbit finally appeared.

"Quite a few people. ”

Quietly lurking among the trees, watching the soldiers slowly and vigilantly emerge from the cave, Yulian lowered his voice and smiled. The sisters lay quietly beside him, staring intently downward, without saying a word. It was late at night, and it was clear that these people knew how to evade tracking, and they didn't light a fire, but slowly spread out in the forest with the help of the moonlight, looking around vigilantly. These soldiers were not wearing the armor of the Kingdom of Orrut, but the leather armor that adventurers often wear, and of course, after all, this time they were fleeing, not traveling. If you wear the armor of the kingdom of Orlute, isn't it tantamount to swaggering to tell the enemy where they came from?

Obviously, these soldiers have very skilled combat experience and wilderness survival experience, and after they dispersed, they searched around very tacitly, until they were sure that there was no threat nearby, and only then did a figure come out of the cave again.

The man was a calm man, with long dark brown hair neatly combed back to bring out the graceful and luxurious face, he was dressed similarly to Yulen, wearing a long robe only worn by merchants and nobles, wrapped in a pitch-black cloak, and two sharp swords hanging from his waist, bringing a hint of murder.

After the man walked out of the cave, he first glanced around vigilantly, then turned around, bent down slightly, and stretched out his right hand to make an inviting gesture.

Then, two people wrapped in gray robes stepped out of it.

The main owner is on the field.

Yulian narrowed his eyes and watched the figure in front of him carefully, although the moonlight was very dim, and the shadows in the woods also obscured their faces, and they were too far away after all. But knights are knights after all, and if such harsh natural conditions can be handled, then they are too weak.

"Your Highness, it's time for us to go. ”

The man was clearly the leader of the bunch, and although his attitude was respectful, it was also vaguely mixed with a bit of toughness. After hearing his words, one of the relatively short gray robes did not respond, but just turned around and looked at the dark cave, as if he was hesitant. Soon, however, the gray-robed man turned around and followed the man, heading deeper into the forest.

"Keep up. ”

Everything was just as Yuren had planned.

If Yuren's judgment of the situation was only at the stage of speculation before, now he is completely sure that as long as the people of the Orrut Kingdom appear and are in his own hands, then Yuren can ensure that the whole situation will be under his control - frankly, he doesn't really care if West V will betray his former allies like a waste, of course, if they are willing to do so, he can take advantage of the fisherman's profits. However, it doesn't matter if West V really doesn't have such plans, Yulian has already made second preparations, if the situation develops to that extent, then he will wait for the people of the Orrut Kingdom to meet with the envoy of the West Kingdom, and then find an opportunity to inform the Sistemperor [***]. Anyway, no matter who does it, Yu Lian has already made up his mind to be a third party watching the fire from the other side, this is his plan.

As the saying goes, if there are conditions, if there are no conditions, you must also go up, and if you don't have conditions, you must also go up, and that's exactly what happened.

It has to be said that these soldiers are still very familiar with their own country, and they quickly crossed the forest with ease, and successfully crossed the first line of defense of the Sith Empire. The whole process of their movements can be said to be extremely fast, but, in Yulian's opinion, they are still a step too late.

"If it had been two days earlier, their trip would have gone much more smoothly. ”

Riding on Estie's body, he watched from afar at the Orruts disguised as merchants heading towards the border of the river valley, and a smile appeared on Yuren's lips. Evidently the Orruts were well prepared, and after leaving the forest, they found a small village for two days, then bought a large quantity of food and headed for the border. Of course, Yuren understood what these Orruts were up to, and of course they couldn't have crossed the border. But at the moment, because of the war, the food supply in the border areas is also very tight, and if these soldiers disguise themselves as merchants who supply food, then they are more likely to pass the scrutiny of the Sith Empire. And as long as they can reach the border area without any problems, these guys will quickly take advantage of their familiarity with the terrain, throw off their pursuers, and disappear into the wilderness.

Little did they know that there were three of the most formidable enemies who were following them at this moment.

General Shet inexplicably dared to be a little anxious.

He stared at the road in front of him, his hands on the horsewhip, and a trace of cold sweat oozed from his forehead. As the most prestigious general in the kingdom of Orlut, he instinctively sensed that something bad was happening. Ever since he left the Secret Passage, the Shogun had been restless, although as it stands, everything was perfectly normal and there were no problems. But General Schett knew very well that this was only the beginning, and they only seized this last opportunity when the last line of defense of the Sith Empire was not yet complete. And now, they no longer have such a chance, I'm afraid that it will not take more than ten days at most, and the Sith Empire will be able to get the news, and how to bring the last bloodlines of the two kingdoms out of here within these ten days is his problem.

Of course, as a general, Schett would have preferred to die on the battlefield, he knew what the current king was like, the king and queen had decided to stay and live with the country, the subjects had taken up arms, the source of energy had been condensed to the highest point, and they were waiting for the last war, a vigorous warβ€”the last flashpoint of a dying man before he died, along with the demise of a nation.

Shet would like to be able to join them and give his life for this country. He is a general, and he should stay. But in the end, he still chose to give in, followed the orders of His Majesty the King, and left the royal capital through a secret passage with the last blood of the royal family. He has only one goal, and that is to cultivate these bloodlines until one day he overthrows the rule of the Sith Empire and regains the land that belongs to the kingdom of Orrut.

But now, General Schett is very uneasy.

Of course, he saw what the Sith Empire was doing on the land of his country, and because of this, General Schett's mood was also very conflicted. On the one hand, he was very glad that the people of Orut had not suffered such a cruel and merciless fate because of their defeat and incompetence. But on the other hand, he was also very worried that since the Sith Empire used this kind of gentle means to envelop the people, the people's antipathy to it would naturally weaken. And if this continues, even if one day, they can return to this land, will the people here accept another war?

Of course, these thoughts were only kept in the heart of General Schitt and not spoken. He knew very well that now was not the time to say that. But even so, deep in his heart, there was still a trace of instability and a sense of crisis, General Schett couldn't tell where this sense of crisis came from, he ordered his subordinates to reconnoiter more than once, but everything was normal. And as everyone approached the border, and the Sith Empire patrolled more and more, General Schitt did not dare to make any more big moves, and he tried to convince himself that this intense uneasiness was only caused by nervousness. But is a battle-hardened general really so nervous?

That's another topic that needs to be studied.

But before General Schett could find the source of his inner turmoil, another thing arose that he had to consider.

"I'm sorry. ”

The two soldiers of the Sith Empire had serious faces, their hands pressed on their weapons, blocking everyone's way. Their expressions were indifferent, and they were dismissive of the money handed by soldiers dressed as merchants.

"This is an imperial decree, everyone, although your procedures are very complete, but we still have to go through strict inspection, now, please step back immediately and accept the inspection!"

Big trouble.

General Schett took a long breath, gritted his teeth, and stared at the level in front of him. He knew very well that this was only the third checkpoint of the Sith Empire, and according to the intelligence, there were still two checkpoints to pass through. In such a situation, he could not have chosen to force his way through, otherwise, General Schett could be sure that he would not be able to pass the remaining two checkpoints. So far, he has only seen the figures of these reserve troops, but for the two ace legions of the Sith Empire, he has not even seen a shadow, which is also the reason why General Schett is anxious.

But now, he's stuck here.

Do you want to rush, or gamble on luck?

Some of the soldiers, who had secretly pressed their hands to their weapons, turned their heads and looked at their generals with inquiring eyes. General Schett hesitated for a moment, then nodded heavily.

"Okay, let's get checked. ”

Then, he said helplessly.

"Looks like our friend is in trouble. ”

And at this moment, in the forest not far away, You Lian also retracted his gaze at the caravan in time. Although the distance was far away, he had no way to hear what the other party was saying, but Yulian knew very well that since this time, the caravan did not pass as safely as before, it meant that something must have gone wrong. And now, in Yuren's plan, it is not yet time for things to go wrong.

"So, what are you going to do? brother?"

"Do you already have a solution? Daddy?"

"Of course. ”

In response to the sisters' inquiry, Yulian replied with a low smile, and then he leaned down and pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist.

"I think it's time for the aces of the Sith Empire to get out of their hideout. ”

As soon as the words fell, Yu Lian's figure had already merged with the dark shadow into a dark long line, and rushed out.

In the blink of an eye, the straight line of shadows rushed out of the forest and into the barracks near the level without hindrance. In fact, in the face of this sudden attack, the soldiers of the Sith Empire did not react at all, they only felt a flower in front of them, and then a dark shadow flew in front of their eyes like an arrow, and then, with a flickering black light, several blood flowers bloomed out of thin air, floating in the air, and spreading with the fall of corpses.

β€œβ€•β€•οΌβ€

The horn sounded.

In the face of this sudden attack, the army of the Sith Empire also showed superb quality, and the soldiers quickly moved into action, the wooden barricades blocked Yuren's retreat in an instant, and the full bows were spread out from the city walls, aiming at the fluttering figure.

"Stop him!

Orders were quickly issued, and immediately the soldiers gathered, spears in hand, forming a defensive line of steel spikes straight ahead, trying to intercept the daring intruder. But Yuren's speed was much faster than all of them, and before the soldiers could form a defensive net, the shadow had already turned into a cold whirlwind and rushed past them, and then, the protective net that had been formed with great difficulty was easily punctured like a balloon, shrunken, and lost its effectiveness.

Faced with such a situation, the commander had to order more soldiers to join them.

"My lord, this is a good opportunity!"

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer soldiers in charge of guarding the checkpoint, the soldiers of Orlut also became excited, although the two soldiers in charge of protecting the gate still stuck to their place, but they were sure enough to take advantage of the chaos to escape, and unknowingly kill these two pesky watchdogs!

β€œ...........................”

General Schett didn't give an order immediately, he looked back silently, glanced at the carriage behind him, and gritted his teeth, he knew very well that this was his only chance at the moment, but if it wasn't handled well, then when this attack was over, it would be even more difficult for them to cross the level, and even let all the efforts they had been working in vain.

However, even though the current situation has changed, General Schert still feels a little strange, why would anyone choose to raid the Sith Empire's military camp at this time?

Although General Schett did not want to act hastily, the ensuing scene forced him to make a decision.

With two black and white beams flashing, a huge roar burst out, and a strong shock wave spread out in all directions, scattering the sentry post in front of him, as for the two soldiers in charge of guarding, they were already swept in by the blast wind at this moment and disappeared.

"Let's go!"

General Schett gritted his teeth, he turned his head, glanced at the mountains and forests behind him, and finally gave the order.

"Holy grace is above!"

Unlike General Schitt, when the commander of the Sith Empire saw those two rays of light, his mouth opened wide in surprise, but he couldn't say anything at all. Although he had already anticipated the identity of the enemy at the time of the attack, it could be the scattered army of the Kingdom of Orrut, or it could be the rebel army organized by the mob spontaneously. But when he saw these two beams, the commander immediately put his previous judgment completely out of his mind, and he naturally knew what it meant. Holy grace is above, this is the soul sword light! Two high-level swordsmen are attacking their camp!

Thinking of this, the commander no longer hesitated, he pulled the soldiers beside him and yelled with a pale face.

"Report to your lord immediately, we have been attacked by high-ranking swordsmen! It's two high-level swordsmen! We ask for the assistance of the direct legions of the kingdom, now, immediately!"

"Yes, sir!"

Upon hearing the commander's order, the herald immediately turned and rushed into the barracks, and a moment later, a bright yellow ball of light suddenly burst into the sky, showing its unparalleled brilliance even in the bright sunlight.

At this moment, the camp was already in chaos.

In the face of Yuren's charge, the soldiers of the Sith Empire had no way at all. Originally, they hoped to be able to lock down the entire camp completely, and close the door and beat the dogs. But it wasn't until the soldiers carried out their plan that they suddenly discovered that it was not a dog that was imprisoned by them, but a ferocious wolf who chose to eat people.

"Left! Left!"

When Yuren once again rushed through the protective line of the soldiers, his figure finally stopped, and noticing this, the Sith commander immediately gave the order, and with his order, the soldiers once again formed a phalanx as fast as they could, and stood dead in front of Yulen. This time, however, the strange swordsman did not run away as before, perhaps because he felt a little tired from the continuous fighting, and he had lost the last chance when Yuren turned around on his mount.

"Good, catch him!"

Seeing that Yulian did not charge as much as he did this time, the commander was also relieved, in the previous battle, he had already discovered that this strange warrior was completely relying on grabbing the gap before they formed the formation to charge, so he was able to get out easily. But this time, I don't know if it was because of fatigue or misjudgment, he was not able to seize the opportunity before his soldiers formed the formation again, then, the next battle will be much easier!

"Up!"

Considering that there were still two high-ranking swordsmen eyeing him from the side, the commander did not hesitate and quickly gave the order. Then, his eyes widened in surprise.

Facing the protective wall of spears in front of him, Yuren did not flinch, on the contrary, he smiled gracefully, and then clamped hard, and with his movements, the black horse under him galloped again, and this time, they rushed straight into the spears of the soldiers without any hindrance.

Is this a suicide attack?

The commander's mouth opened wide in surprise, he couldn't imagine that the other party would use such a method. But, in the next moment, he realized that he was completely wrong.

Facing the spear array in front of him, Yulian had only one thing to do. He held the rope in his hand with his left hand, and pressed the hilt of the sword behind his waist with his right hand, and as Estie charged in front of the soldiers again, a snow-white, bright, crescent-like sword light also burst out, sweeping the audience. At the same time, Estie under Yulian also let out a low roar, and then, the cold aura that penetrated deep into the bone marrow appeared in an instant, sweeping away like a tide.
