Kahlan is dead. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The news immediately shocked the entire continent.

Even many people wondered when they first got the news, is this true? Or are they dreaming?

It's no wonder that they suspect that although Kalan's reputation is the worst of the four gifted knights of the Sith Empire, it seems that no matter how bad the emperor is, he is still an emperor, even if he is a faint monarch, his identity is still not comparable to that of ordinary people.

The four generals of the Sith Empire's wrath have been famous for a long time, and the Knights of the End are even more of a "legendary" scourge, so for the battle between them, many people have a feeling that they can only look up and watch, but they have nothing to do with themselves. And for them, this level of fighting has almost nothing to do with death. The Knights of the End disappeared from the continent at the beginning, and the gifted knights of the Sith Empire were almost never even injured, in fact, it was very surprising that Youlian had seriously injured three of them before, but many people still didn't think that the gifted knights would be killed one day.

It's no wonder, after all, they are too invincible, giving people the feeling that they will run even if they can't fight, and they won't die even if they are injured, so that people invisibly ignore that they are also human beings, and they will be injured and die.

Of course, it was not without suspicion that it was a rumor, a rumor, a psychological ploy of the rebels, but it was clear that Shawar had received some degree of guidance and hints from Yuren, and that he had shown the truth of this information in the most convincing and irrefutable way -- there was nothing more convincing than to put the corpse of the half-elf general out in the streets of the royal city.

And this move of the rebels produced an explosive reaction in the two countries of Orrut and the Sith, in Orrut, the people poured into the royal city to see the legendary Wind Messenger, one of the four generals of the damnation, and in the Sith country, the people were angry and disappointed, although they did hate Karan, but after all, it belonged to the "internal contradiction of the people", and now the corpse of their own talented knight was put out by the enemy to parade the corpse of the whip, which was unbearable no matter what!

At the beginning, the people of the Sith Empire did not believe the news, and they shouted for Kahlan to come out and expose the lies of those enemies, but how could the dead come out to oppose it? Therefore, after soon learning that Karan was really dead, the people who were still waiting for the Orrut Kingdom to make a fool of themselves were dumbfounded for a moment, and in the face of this too sudden news, their brains were completely blank, and there was no reaction at all.

Fortunately, in the end, the Sith Empire did not cause much stirring, and Karan's death was only a matter of face for them, not a matter of strength. Since Kahlan himself is not a good bird, and what he has done recently is really disgusting, there are already people in the Sith Empire who want him to die early and be reborn, if it weren't for the fact that the war is just around the corner, in order to avoid any problems, I am afraid that there will be people who will celebrate it publicly.

As for whether the battle with the Knights of the Last Yan will be more variable because of the lack of Karan? Contrary to the expectations of the outside world, the Sith Empire did not see it that way, because Kahlan had never won against the Knights of the Last Yan in the first place, so whether he was dead or alive now was not an increase or decrease in strength for them. But if it was Lintilott, I'm afraid these people's reactions would not be so calm.

But Lintillot was calm.

Although Kahlan is dead, he can be considered to have "successfully completed the mission", and it is because of his delay that the rebels and the Knights of the Last have not been able to reach the Night Capital early, and now, she has all the troops in the Night City during this time, and is ready to fight a defensive battle in the Night City.

And Yulian is ready.

Although the Night Capital is not in the border area, it is clear to both sides that this is actually the final battle between the Sith and Orrut. If the Night Capital is taken, then Lintillot will definitely not waste any more troops here, but will decisively retreat back to the country. But what if they stand in the way?

It's a difficult question to answer.

In the worst-case scenario, the Knights of the End will not be able to conquer for a long time, and finally use the Night City as the dividing line to redivide the land area. However, this is obviously not acceptable to Orrut, and the other outcome is that the Knights of the End will not succeed in one attack, and then the second, then the third, and then the fourth......... Anyway, the collapse of the Sith Empire was only a matter of time.

A lot of people think so.

But Yulian doesn't see it that way.

"Frankly speaking, there are definitely not a few stupid pigs in this group of rebels. ”

Fortunately, he said this from his own camp.

At present, the rebels and the Knights of the Last have reached the border area of the Night Capital and began to set up camp, and the number of the rebels has been increased again after Karan's death, reaching 60,000, and Arnia's little support is definitely not enough, but fortunately, the rebels are now also considered to be the legitimate "Aurute Army", and they are still qualified to draw some support from the treasury, so the pressure on Arnia is not particularly great.

"Her Royal Highness is not a good man and a woman, even if she blocks our attack, no, I am sure that if she really blocks our attack, then she will definitely retreat at the first opportunity. And then the group of idiots who were carried away by the victory will definitely start to dwell on the choice of whether to continue the attack and invade the Sith to avenge or just take back their own territory, and I believe that with their intelligence, it will certainly not be a problem to drag it out until the end of the year. ”

You Lian waved his hand and said directly with great certainty.

He had this confidence, because since he had been at war with the Sith Empire, although he had not fought the Royal Highness head-on, in fact, the confrontation between the two of them had been very fierce from the beginning of the war. Lintillot definitely does not engage in a head-on confrontation, but chooses to use the general environment to oppress, creating objective conditions to force the Knights of the Terminus to slow down, she has done this kind of thing more than once or twice, she knows that her strength is not able to confront the Knights of the Finale head-on, so she tries her best to create unfavorable conditions to slow down the Knights of the Terminators. In fact, the possible surname that Yulian said is also based on this basis, after all, Yulian publicly stated that he was helping Princess Shirley to recapture Orrut from the Sith, if they took the initiative to withdraw to the country, then it means that Yuren's mission must be completed. But if the Knights of the Final Yan attack again, it will definitely not be in line with what Yuren said before......... Her Royal Highness's ability to be a black man is really top-notch.

"Frankly, Lord Yuren, I think you really resemble her. ”

O'Faryl pressed his forehead and replied helplessly, while the others also nodded slightly, although they were not as attentive to tactics as O'Faryl and Yulian, but after all, they also participated in every final knight action, and sometimes they had to wait for a good opportunity, and even forced Charlotte to play her "trump card" once, which made the head maid quite dissatisfied, but there was no good way.

"But for now, it doesn't seem like there's a good way to do it. ”

Yuren frowned, then glanced at the twin sisters beside him.

"Messiah, Semia, what do you think of the defenses of the Night Capital?"

"It's hard to break through. ”

"There will be danger. ”

Faced with Julien's inquiry, Messiah and Semiya gave an answer almost immediately.

And that's why they're currently discussing here -- how to attack the Night Capital.

The City of Night is a city of springs, but it is not just a city of springs, unlike the City of the Heroic Soul of Julien and the City of Wind of West, the biggest feature of the City of Night is its offensive and defensive equipment -- the countless dense cannons.

Because it is one of the source cities, the night capital has put a lot of effort into defense, whether it is the towering city wall, or the dense cannons with a 180-degree all-round angle, it is enough to make people tremble, not to mention that because it is the source city, the supply of Mana in the night capital is endless, that is to say, if these cannons fire at the same time, then the power is very powerful, plus they do not need to be cooled at all, then it can be said that once the battle starts, they will face an unimaginable stormy attack。

This is definitely not an artistic exaggeration.

"We can't resist that attack, my lord. ”

The elven dragon knight said worriedly beside him.

"After all, that's also Mana's power, if it's just a few cannons, we're still confident, but it's too much, we can't stop it. ”

"I understand. ”

Yu Lian nodded, and knocked on the table a little anxiously.

Indeed, the City of Night is now like a thorn in the eye, leaving no place to put its mouth in the mouth. While Messiah and Semiya's innate abilities ensure that their soldiers are not killed, this inevitably hinders their attack speed. Indeed, under the shroud of the aura, even if the head is blown off, it will not die, but the huge impact will always make people's bodies retreat and fly away. If Messiah really came into the field with soldiers like this, then you can imagine what it would be like for an unbeatable giant to be knocked back by a punch, but there is no way to pounce on it.

This is definitely not the result that Yuren wanted.

And the dragon knights' defense is impossible to withstand such a powerful artillery attack, and their numbers are too small, this is not a good opportunity.

In fact, even the Sith Empire would not have had an easy time taking the Night Capital, if it weren't for Sidwig's millimeter-accurate soldiers who were able to continue to advance while dodging artillery fire to attract the attention of the other party, if it weren't for Karan's almost surpassing the impact speed of the attack, I'm afraid the Sith Empire would have returned in vain in front of the Night Capital.

Unfortunately, they have those two figures, but the Knights of the End do not.

So Yuren had to find a new way.

For a while, the camp was very quiet, Offariel frowned, thinking quietly, the twin sisters sat next to them holding hands, whispering not knowing what they were saying, Yulian looked down at the map of the night capital in front of him, showing a dissatisfied expression, before the war, he knew that this was a hard bone to gnaw, and now it is even more difficult to gnaw, after all, the other party is not only the source cannon, but also three talented knights, Sidwig, Nahias and Lintillot are all there, and this time it is not alone, but the two armies are fighting...... That's a big problem.

Just as everyone was thinking, there was a commotion, and everyone looked up and saw a group of soldiers hurrying by, their bodies covered in blood and their armor in tatters. Yulian shook his head and said nothing, he waved his hand to signal that the meeting was over, and then turned to leave.

The rebel camp was set up on a hillside far away from the city of Night (at least out of range), and when Yuren walked out of the camp, he could clearly see the soldiers who were training and practicing at the bottom of the hillside, as well as the soldiers who were tired.

Although the battle between the two sides has not begun, the confrontation has already begun.

As early as when he came to the Night Capital before, Yulian told General Shawar that this was a tough battle, and he hoped to be able to lead those who were more experienced in combat, rather than a group of idiots who had never fought before, so he hoped that the rebels could take the initiative to provoke, go to rub shoulders with the Sith Empire, fight some small-scale local conflicts, and save some experience for these soldiers, after all, this time it was too smooth, many of the rebel soldiers had not actually fought against the Sith Empire at all, although the aura of Messiah and Semia could guarantee their immortality, but it could not guarantee their psychological quality, in case under the bombardment of the night capital cannons, their psychology collapsed, yelling to escape, then even Messiah can't do anything, after all, her aura is just immortality, not indulgence -- it's much easier to change Sidway, anyway, whether you want to or not, the control of the body is in her hands.

And Lintillot was also very cooperative -- in fact, she couldn't help but cooperate, after all, Karan's death had dealt a bigger blow to the morale of the Sith soldiers, and if nothing was done, then the Sith army was also very likely to collapse from within, so she also sent some soldiers to patrol the surroundings of the Night City every day, and at the same time scout and have a "friendly match" with the soldiers sent from the resistance to maintain their condition.

Of course, on the whole, the rebels can't catch up with the overall strength of the Sith Empire, but because of Karan's death, the morale of one side is low, and the morale of the other side is high, so the two sides have won half and half of the battles in several rounds in the past few days, which is already very good for the rebels.

However, it is still not enough.

What a nuisance.

Looking at the faint shadow in the distance, Yulian sighed, he raised his head and looked at the gloomy sky, the environment where each source is located will change because of the transformation of the source, West's Wind City is the wind all year round, and the Twilight Forest has not changed much at the moment because the time is still short. As for the Night City, as you can hear from the name, it is almost dark all around, it is the same day and night, gloomy and devoid of any light, and nothing can be seen except artificial light, although if it is placed in normal times, it will definitely allow people to sneak in under the cover of darkness and kill them by surprise. But how could the Night Cities be so idiotic as to see it? In fact, the dazzling light outside their walls made the whole city look like a glowing moon on the ground, and there was no way to catch any loopholes.

And now, staring at the moon shining on the ground in the dark night in the distance, Yuren frowned.

Just then, a voice rang out.

"Lord Yuren. ”

"Shirley?"

Yuren didn't look back, but he immediately recognized his master from the voice he spoke.

"Yes. ”

Shirley stepped out of the darkness and came behind Yuren, quietly staring at the man in front of her.

"Yuren-sama, are you troubled?"

"One point, not very bothered. ”

Yuren shrugged his shoulders.

"It's not the first time I've had this kind of trouble, so you don't have to worry...... But Miss Shirley, you came to me, I'm afraid not for these things, I remember you didn't care about any of that. ”

"Yes. ”

In the face of Yu Lian's inquiry, Shirley also nodded slightly, but she did not speak immediately, but stared blankly at the night sky in the distance, and only after a moment did she speak.

"Lord Yuren, when will I be able to return to the Twilight Forest?"

"Huh?"

"Frankly...... I don't like my life right now. ”

Shirley lowered her head, her hands gripping the corners of her skirt tightly.

"I don't like to communicate with those nobles, and I don't like to stand in front of people and give speeches, although I didn't like these before, I didn't hate them. But now it's different, I hate it, I don't know why, I'm tired, Lord Yuren, because you need me, that's why I'm standing here, trying to play the role you want me to play, but ......... I'm tired, I want to go back to the Twilight Forest, and live a leisurely time every day, without telling false lies to the nobles, and not having to say some big truths that even I don't know very well, I just want to be able to stay in the Twilight Forest, stay by your side, and have a happy chat with those good friends, and that's enough for me. ”

As she spoke, Shirley bit her lip.

"Unlike Miss O'Fariel, I don't understand the complexities. Just like now, I know that you are in trouble, I am trying to think hard, but I can't come up with any ideas, I can't help you like them, Lord Yulian, I ............"

"I understand. ”

Yulian turned around, reached out his hand, and gently stroked Shirley's long hair.

"Don't worry, Miss Shirley, trust me, you'll be back to the life you want to live when my plan is over. So, I want you to be patient a little longer, just a little bit. ”

"Yuren-sama........."

Hearing this, Shirley didn't say anything, she closed her eyes and gently leaned against Yuren's chest.

That was probably the only thing she could do at the moment.

Yuren tapped her lightly on the shoulder, then looked up at the trees in the distance, where a dark figure moved, and then turned away.
