Chapter 124: Plans and Changes

The cold breath broke out in all directions, sweeping the audience.

In the face of this inexplicable and strange aura, all the soldiers couldn't help but stiffen their movements, obviously the bright sun was shining on them at this moment, and it was even a little stuffy. But at this moment, they felt as if their bodies were in the cold, and the bone-piercing cold penetrated their bodies and went straight to the depths of their souls.

Because of this, the soldiers' movements slowed slightly, and even the most well-trained soldiers could not resist the instinctive reaction, and at this moment, the crescent-shaped silver-white light had already swept by, and forcibly split a gap in the queue.

"Holy grace is above!"

Standing on the watchtower, the commander was pale, staring blankly at the unbelievable scene below, and he watched his soldiers fall one by one like ears of harvested wheat, and the originally tight formation fell apart in an instant. But this time he didn't feel any fear, the extreme shock had made him completely numb, and there was no other emotion at all. Three high-ranking swordsmen?

The commander rubbed his eyes, he couldn't believe what he was seeing, it was not that he had never seen a high-level swordsman, and besides, as a subordinate army of the four masters of the empire, he had also seen the battle between knights and high-level swordsmen with his own eyes. It should be said that this is not very strange to him, but you must know that they all appeared on the big battlefield that was enough to decide the outcome of the frontal battle, but now, this is just a forward outpost!

Thinking of this, the commander couldn't help but burst into tears, he really wanted to rush up and kneel at the feet of that enemy and shout, what virtue and ability did he have, he needed to bother the three high-level swordsmen to join forces to deal with him. Isn't this a treatment that only a corps commander can enjoy? How can I, a small sentry officer, be entitled to such a big "gift"?

Although the commander wanted to cry without tears at the moment, it did not mean that Yu Lian and the others would understand his feelings, but fortunately, after this encounter, the black figure on horseback seemed to be tired of continuing to attack, and he jumped out of his horse again, easily passed through the rift in the defensive line, and then quickly disappeared into the forest.

It was only then that the commander let out a long sigh of relief, he patted his chest in shock, and then quickly gave the order to be followed - of course, he knew very well that this was just an errand, and both himself and the soldiers knew that it was almost impossible for them to track down the high-ranking swordsman, but it didn't matter, now that they had suffered a crushing defeat, they had to make themselves try to do what they could.

Every soldier knew that their supreme commander, the odd maiden, was by no means a gentle and amicable figure. Because of this, no one wants to touch her moldy head.

So, soon after the order was given, five cavalrymen rode up and followed, while the rest of the soldiers, led by the commander, began to reorganize the camp, and they quickly cleaned up the dilapidated camp and quickly counted the casualties. And after counting the results, everyone's hearts sank.

As a makeshift post, there weren't too many soldiers, just 300 soldiers patrolling and surveillance. But after this battle, more than half of the soldiers were killed, and in the end, only one hundred and twenty-five soldiers survived. Of course, this casualty figure was not unexpected by everyone, after all, they were facing three high-level swordsmen, although in fact only one appeared on the battlefield, but it was definitely not a character that three hundred soldiers could easily deal with. Therefore, such a casualty figure is not only not high, but even a little low. If it weren't for Yulian leaving in a hurry, then I'm afraid that there wouldn't have been any fresh lives left in this outpost at all.

And just as the commander of the outpost was counting the number of people and was about to sort it out, a heavy horn sounded, and along with it appeared a pitch-black pennant - the scepter of the viper!

Seeing this flag, the commander's face changed greatly, he took a deep breath, and then walked solemnly to the gate of the camp, facing the army not far away. At the same time, the army had advanced to the front of the outpost.

"What happened?"

Sidwig was still dressed in that strange way, she lowered her head, stared at the officer in front of her, and didn't pay attention to the completely destroyed camp and wall not far in front of her, and asked in a low voice. In response to her questioning, the commander spoke with a serious and nervous face, and quickly reported to the girl what they had been through. The outpost was suddenly attacked, and three high-ranking swordsmen attacked them, and wiped out more than half of their troops, but as for the origin of the other party, they did not gain anything. After all, You Lian and the others came and went quickly, not to mention that they didn't reveal any indication of their identities from beginning to end, so naturally there was no information at all.

"That's how it happened, Your Excellency Legion. ”

After trembling and reporting the whole thing to the girl, the commander's original nervous mood was much calmer, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead. In fact, he is also very aware of the murderous name of this knight. Among the four heroes of the empire, Her Royal Highness Princess Lintillot has the best reputation and has never treated her soldiers badly. Nahias is second. Sidwig and Karan, on the other hand, are notorious among the soldiers, especially this eccentric knight lady, as long as she hears the other party's words and does not go your way, she will immediately kill people without discussion. I have to say that under such a dangerous knight, there is still a bit of danger. But as the so-called king's fate is difficult, not to mention that although following these two people is easy to be killed by them for various reasons, but being a soldier is a high-risk profession. In fact, many soldiers also understood that the reason why they were able to gallop in war without death or defeat was also thanks to the blessing of these two talented knights. Because of this, they were still able to endure the strange tempers of these two, after all, compared to the chance of dying on the battlefield, the chance of being executed by these two under various names was still smaller.

"Tidy up the camp. ”

After listening to the commander's report with a blank face, Sidwig frowned, then coldly gave the order, and then, she clamped the belly of her horse, and then quietly walked through the ruins of the checkpoint, and continued on her way. And behind her, the army, which had been standing still, also moved at the same time at this moment, their faces were calm and expressionless. Even the movements were uniform, not only that, but also the cavalry that followed behind the girl, and there was no confusion in the steps of their horses. Everything was as if it had been rehearsed hundreds of times, delicate and complete.

In the face of these soldiers, all the commander could do was to bow his head and stare at the ground without daring to breathe, until they had crossed the ruins of the checkpoint, he raised his head, trembled and reached out to take out the handkerchief from his bosom, and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead.

"Monster!"

Then the commander whispered to himself.

For a general, no matter when, where, or under what circumstances, he must grasp the situation at the first time and respond quickly, which is the way of a famous general.

General Schitt has always thought so, and has always done so.

But now, he reluctantly found that it seemed that the situation was completely moving in a direction that he couldn't grasp at all.

In fact, when the outpost was attacked, General Schett did not intend to leave immediately. He knew very well that if the outpost was attacked and he took advantage of the chaos to escape, then in fact he would be in a disadvantageous situation. The soldiers of the Sith Empire are not fools, otherwise it would not be possible to fight to the point of almost destroying Orrut. They would certainly make a great effort to track down their caravan, and once that time came, then their own men would certainly not be their opponents.

However, it is also not wise to stay. Although General Shet didn't know who it was, he knew very well that the two beams that broke through the gate of the sentry were the soul sword light, that is, two high-level swordsmen launched an attack on the sentry post of the Sith Empire!

General Shet himself is also a high-level swordsman, but he has been staying in the high-level and low-level positions and has not improved again, but even so, he can also appreciate the powerful combat power of the high-level swordsman. If the other party is just one person, then he is still a little sure that he can stop it, but in the face of two high-level swordsmen, this kind of thinking is better to dispel it as soon as possible.

As for staying, then it is even less desirable. The outpost encountered such a fierce attack, and the Sith Empire would naturally send heavy troops to investigate, so they would not be able to hide at that time. Therefore, General Schett felt as if he had been whipped fiercely at this moment, and there was no other way but to rush forward. But even so, he is still trying, trying to get a grasp of the situation and regain control of it back on track.

But now, seeing this scene in front of him, General Schett only felt a bitterness at the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't say anything at all.

In front of them was the second checkpoint. The fortifications showed that the rest of the area had been prepared to defend the outpost after the attack on it - but for now, all that was left was the slowly burning smoke and corpses. Those heavily armed soldiers of the Sith Empire have all become corpses lying on the ground at this moment, their eyes are wide open, and their hearts are showing unwillingness and anger, their blood is still slowly flowing out of their wounds, and even on the charred ground, they can still feel the temperature of war.

General Shet was certain that the outpost had been attacked shortly before they arrived, and, as it stands, had been completely destroyed.

"Your Excellency?"

The soldiers also saw the anomaly in front of them, and they stared uneasily at the land in front of them, which had just become a battlefield and a grave, and then whispered to their generals for instructions.

"Go ahead...... Go ahead!"

General Schett gritted his teeth, glanced at the carriage behind him, and finally gave the order. He had no choice, the other party had clearly prepared for the calculation, if it was possible that it was accidental before, then this time, General Schett could be sure that the other party was coming for him. Their purpose was clearly to help them pass through the border posts.

But who are they?

General Shet could not have imagined that, indeed, as the general of Orrut, he naturally knew about the agreement between Orrut and West. And now, the reason why he is here is to hope that West will fulfill this agreement. However, General Schitt also knew very well that with the strength of the West Kingdom, he should focus more on defensive battles at the moment. In fact, before they set off, they had already received a secret contact from West, claiming that the Sith Empire's protection was too tight, and they could not go deep into the territory to help, so if Orrut wanted to escape, then he had to reach the border area, and only when he got there, West was sure enough to send someone to pick him up.

But now, we're only halfway there. Moreover, if the other party is really from the Westster Kingdom, then why don't they take the initiative to show up in front of themselves?

Or is the other party from another country?

General Schitt thought about it, but he still couldn't guess the other party's intentions, but for now he had only one choice - if he didn't continue along the open gap, then there was only one way to die.

So he didn't have a choice.

General Schett felt a strong sense of unrest growing in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.

Only all the way forward.

This time, they threw off their camouflage and food and rushed forward, for everyone knew that if they did not go, the Sith army would arrive in an instant, and at that time, they would not be able to fly. Although they are about to enter the river valley at the moment, there are also many mountains and forests with complex terrain that will help them lurk. But General Shet couldn't say it, he naturally knew that this was a good way, but he also knew very well that the Sith Empire had completely controlled these areas at the moment. Relying on his pitiful troops and supplies, he still wants to play guerrilla lurk with them in the forest, and there are only two kinds of ends - one is to be forced out by the other side when he runs out of ammunition and food, and the other is to completely collapse directly under the superiority of troops.

There is no third option. So now, they can only hope that they can be a little faster, evade the pursuers behind, and break through the blockade before the other side closes.

Although this expectation is low. Moreover, General Schett didn't know that every move of himself and others had already been taken into account.

"It seems that they are not stupid. ”

Yulian withdrew his gaze and chuckled.

"This guy is still quite reasonable, can seize the opportunity, and dare to take advantage of it, this is the style of a general. I can guarantee that this guy's status within the Orrut Empire is certainly not low. ”

"But you drove him to a dead end, brother. ”

Messiah replied with a chuckle, gently stroking the unicorn beside her and pursing her lips.

"If he knew, he would hate you, Dad. ”

On the other side, Semya was also riding on Nightmare's body, looking at the caravan not far below, tilting her head.

"They won't know, they don't have this opportunity. ”

Yuren waved his hand, of course he knew what the Sith Empire was doing, in fact, just now, the two sisters had pinned down Sidwi's troops, forcibly blocking their progress and giving the Orruts a chance to breathe. Otherwise, they would not have been able to get here at all, and they would have become the ghosts of the Sith Empire. As for Yulian himself, he has been cleaning up the surrounding bugs, and with the help of his mount, his range of action is much broader, and he even blatantly appeared inside the protective net, deliberately attacking, luring the Sith Empire troops to the rescue, and then retreating. The three of them have been fighting like this for these days, until now.

To Julien's surprise, Sidwig's actions were even more bizarre than he had expected, although according to his orders, the sisters did not directly engage the puppeteer, but only made a large circle to harass her army from behind. But for this young girl, she doesn't seem to care about any of that at all. Changing to an ordinary military general, it is absolutely impossible for one's troops to be indifferent when they are attacked from behind. But the girl did, and throughout the operation, she was unhurried, unhurried, and impatient, as if she had come out for an outing instead of catching the murderer. At most, she just stopped and waited until the sisters left to regroup her troops.

What exactly was she thinking?

Yulian frowned, he didn't believe that the puppeteer, one of the four generals of the Sith Empire, was an idiot with no overall vision and strategic thinking, according to the information from Charlotte, this girl had led 30,000 troops to resist the magic artillery attack of the Night Capital. Although I don't know what the situation on the battlefield was at that time, I can determine that she is definitely not an easy guy to deal with based on this number alone.

But what is her purpose in doing this now?

Could it be ......... Thinking of that day, when he met her, Yulian raised his eyebrows, as if he noticed something that he had overlooked.

This teenage girl gets angry easily.

On that day, when meeting with one of the legendary Four Generals of Heaven's Damnation, Yuren felt her killing intent a total of eighteen times, that is, in that short one-hour meeting, because of her answer, this girl had sincerely wanted to kill him eighteen times. But in the end, she still endured this killing intent.

Of course, Yulian didn't think that this was a sign of the other party's good upbringing, if Sidwig's upbringing was really that good, then she wouldn't be angry at all. And from these eighteen killing intents, it can be seen that her real surname is a person who is extremely fond of killing. Only the kind of person who fights and kills people often will instinctively react like that in the first place. Otherwise, it would be quite difficult for you to let a person with a peaceful surname burst out with murderous intent at every turn.

A man who is good at killing, and should also be smart?

Yulian seemed to understand something.

However, he didn't think about it for now, he just held the hilt of his sword and then prostrated himself again.

"Keep going. ”

"Yes, brother. ”

"Yes, Dad. ”

Then, the three figures disappeared into the woods again.
