The sun had reached the edge of the horizon at this moment, and the original bright light was gradually dimming. General Shawar stared at the army in front of him, anxious. He clenched his fists and pulled the mask down, obscuring his face so that he could show that anxious expression without fear of being seen by anyone.
He was under a lot of pressure, in fact, many of his subordinates didn't understand Shava's sudden decision to attack, and they asked and complained, but for Shava, this is not something he can decide, and now he can only accept orders to act, which is the only thing he can do now. Therefore, when those people were dissatisfied and said that the army had not yet had time to integrate, and it was very dangerous to attack so rashly, Shawar could not shout at them, "You think Lao Tzu doesn't know what the situation is, and you idiots need to remind them!!" On the contrary, he also had to suppress his anger and calmly tell them that everything was already planned, and we have the help of gifted knights and dragon knights, such a powerful help is rare, so it is necessary to win by surprise and not follow common sense, so that it is possible to fight the Sith Empire by surprise, and now they think that we are not ready, so we haven't had time to prevent it, and in a few days, it will be difficult to fight again......... I have to say that these words are still very convincing, and in the end, not only those subordinates were convinced, but even General Shawa himself looked back and felt as if it was really like that...... Of course, I don't know if that's really the case.
And now, the time has come.
"Attack!!"
Originally, General Shawa was going to say something to cheer up the army, but in fact, now even he was nervous and couldn't help himself, no wonder, he originally expected that Yulian would suddenly run back at some point during the day and appear in front of him, which would be okay, but now that a whole day has passed, he has not seen Yuren's shadow. And General Shawa no longer pinned his hopes on his return, in fact, although he didn't say it, but deep down he thought that Yulian had run into trouble, but he really hoped that this trouble was not too big, because according to General Shava's observations these days, the entire Knights of the End themselves looked like a mess of sand, and those dragon knights never showed the organizational discipline that a soldier should have, on the contrary, they looked more like ordinary girls when they were noisy all day long, and only in front of Yulian could they honestly obey orders。 As for himself, Shawar is sure that they will definitely not look at him with a straight eye, to put it bluntly, he is only the commander of the rebel army, and he is not a member of the Knights of the End, and he is only a high-level swordsman, there are still 108,000 miles to go than the knights, his status is not as good as others, and his strength is not as good as others, if there is really something, how can he control these people? As soon as he thought of this, Shawar had a headache. The only thing that made him barely feel at ease was that the expressions of the twin sisters didn't seem to change, and they were still giggling and playing around the camp as usual throughout the day, and they didn't see the slightest concern for Yuren, which also made General Shawa reluctantly let go of his snacks, no matter what, the relationship between these two girls and Yuren was very good, if something really happened to Yulian, these two girls would definitely not be so easy. And I heard that they are archmages, and mages always have some mysterious methods, maybe they already know that You Lian is fine?
I think so, but Shava is still very entangled, because he knows very well that there are many things in the world that are far from what you think, and sometimes the things you take for granted turn out to be completely different when you come to the end, and although such things do not happen often, they are not absolutely absent. Coupled with the fact that Julien's role is so important, it's no wonder that Shawa is cranky.
Therefore, after giving the order, Shawar did not say a word, waved his hand directly, and led the army forward.
And at the same time that Shawar led the army towards the royal city, Yulian was walking slowly in the castle of the royal city at this moment.
At this moment, the royal city was silent, no sound was made, and the dark water covered every inch of the land, every house, and they even climbed the wall, enveloping the wall in it. For a moment, the entire royal city seemed to be a model covered by a black curtain, the only difference was that the soldiers who had been all over the city had completely disappeared, whether it was the soldiers who ran around to escape, or the corpses that fell to the ground, they were now completely gone, as if they had never existed in this world.
Yulian walked slowly through the corridors of the palace, the sound of crisp footsteps echoing in the corridors of the university, and he walked leisurely with his hands behind his back, as if a tourist were visiting a place of interest. All around him, the flowing black water did not change, it still followed its own flow, slowly but surely covering everything they touched, whether it was the floor, the walls, the paintings, or even the armor, tables and chairs used to decorate.
Then Yuren walked to a heavy, beautiful door, stopped, stretched out his hands, and pushed the door open.
It was at this moment that the last rays of the setting sun fell from the round windows of the dome and shone on the throne of the great hall. They were two high-backed stone chairs, and at the moment they had lost their original owners, just a quiet presence in the center of the hall, silent, as always, waiting for their new masters to arrive.
The original palatial palace is now a little shabby, and the bare walls and the empty environment around it indicate that it has been sacked, and it is no wonder, after all, although this is the royal city of Orrut, for the Sith Empire, it is only a place where the losers live. Therefore, of course, there is no need for them to be here, to be polite to them.
It's just that, at this time, such a deserted scene is a little desolate, symbolizing that the most important part of the country has been looted and completely degenerated, which also seems to represent the fate of the country. It's the same now, and it's the same in the future.
"Hmph. ”
Thinking of this, Yulian sneered, Olute has disappeared from this world forever, no matter how much those soldiers hope that they can retake their country, no matter how fervently those citizens hope that they can become the citizens of Olute again, Olute is no longer the Olut of the past, the current Olut is just the Olut that belongs to him.
In fact, Shava's worries about Yuren are actually the right answer, Yulian does want to get Orrut, which is why he wants to help Orlut restore the country, one is to disgust the Sith Empire, fight their prestige, and let this high-spirited country know that on this continent, the most powerful existence will always be the Knights of the End, and your Sith Empire wants to take the throne hundreds of years earlier. And the second reason is because Yulian wants to get a country that he can control and indulge.
He didn't like West, for the simple reason that West's peace was too much for Iolut, because of the incident in the Twilight Forest, in fact, West didn't encounter much of a threat from the Sith at all. And now West's domestic chaos is completely due to infighting, because Yulian doesn't want them, and O'Fariel also shows that the well water does not interfere with the river water, so West is completely dead to the two of them, and begins to worry about the future of the country. In fact, as soon as Julien waved his hand, or O'Faryl spoke, the West, which had been in a state of disarray, could immediately unite -- the former representing an absolutely irresistible force, the latter representing a justifiable axiom, and from any standpoint, there was no need for them to oppose the rule of these two men over the country.
But Yuren has no interest in West, or rather......... He had little interest in a country that could not afford to fight a war and could not kill a few people. He didn't want to be a king himself, on the contrary, Yulian preferred to be a backstage indulger, when he wanted to fight, he would tell the puppet, and then the guy would obediently act, so that those troublesome things would not be troubled by Youlian. And what if the other party has ambitions and doesn't listen to him?
That's even simpler, You Lian directly led someone to beat him down, and then just change to an obedient superior.
And then repeatedly, then there will definitely be no fewer people who die.
Merely...... Olute, will be gone forever.
"You're doing a great job. ”
Before walking to the throne, Yulian reached out and stroked the cold and hard stone chair, and then said with a smile.
"Unfortunately, your presence is no longer needed, this country is no longer yours, but I will assure you here that at least I will leave some seeds as a token of thanks. ”
At the same time, the last rays of sunlight finally set below the horizon, and the whole palace was completely plunged into silent darkness.
General Shawa was puzzled, because the situation in front of him was completely beyond his expectations.
Indeed, before reaching the royal city, the rebels encountered a Sith army, which was about 10,000 in number, and it looked like it was supposed to be a garrison stationed outside the city. In order to increase the effect of the surprise attack and prevent the royal city from reacting, General Shawa immediately gave the order to attack.
He originally thought that this would be a difficult war, although the rebels had the upper hand in numbers, but the soldiers of the Sith Empire were experienced elite soldiers, and they were definitely not the same as the group of newcomers on his side who were afraid of cutting themselves with swords. And even if they can't fight, it will be a trouble to retreat while fighting, and if they retreat to the city wall, it will be a problem.
But he didn't expect that the 10,000-strong Sith army was like a paper tiger, a charge would collapse directly, no, maybe there was something wrong with that, it should be said that the previous actions of the 10,000-strong soldiers did not seem to be patrolling around at all, but as if they were fleeing, and because of this, they had no fighting spirit at all, after discovering the rebels, this legion did not show the slightest fighting spirit, and after they charged, they directly threw down their weapons to flee and surrender, it didn't look like a fully armed elite army at all, but more like those unorganized and undisciplined bandits。
What's going on here?
After interrogating for a long time, the only information General Shawa got was that it seemed that there seemed to be something wrong with the royal city, and their soldiers were patrolling outside, but when they wanted to return to the city, they found that they could not go back, and they could not contact the army in the city, so the army of 10,000 people soon became dazed and uneasy, and just when they didn't know what to do, the rebels appeared at this time-- The rest of the game was a no-brainer.
Since he could not get any information from these captives, General Shawa had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue his advance, and soon he came to the city under the walls of the royal city.
Although General Shawa certainly hadn't seen the story of the "Empty City Plan", the scene in front of him also made him feel equally incomprehensible and strange, he imagined that the walls of the royal city should have been full of soldiers, and the guards patrolling everywhere. But now, the whole wall was pitch black, there was no fire at all, and it looked as if there was no sign of anyone on it.
What's going on? What about people? There are 120,000 people guarding the city here, isn't it?
This time, not only General Shawar was puzzled, but also many of his officers began to feel uneasy, and they stared carefully into the darkness, trying to see something from it, but could not see anything. After hesitating for a moment, General Shawa finally decided to launch a round of rockets to see what was going on, but when the flaming rockets were fired at the city wall, there was no reaction, on the contrary, under the light of the fire, everyone could see clearly that there was no one on it.
The development of events was completely unexpected, and General Shawa wanted to leave, but when the soldiers came to the city, and there was no resistance, he would certainly not be able to accept it himself. And......... Thinking of this, General Shawa also took the time to sneak a glance at the twin sisters standing there not far away and the bored dragon knights standing beside them, originally before the battle began, General Shawa also hoped that these dragon knights could help them attract fire from the air. But these dragon knights are all lacking in interest, and they have no intention of helping at all. At that time, Shawar thought that he was not qualified to give this order, but now it seems that these dragon knights have long known that there is no need for this?
So what now?
General Shawa wanted to go up and ask for a clear understanding, but now he was the commander of the first army, and his every move was watched by others, so it was not easy to act rashly. In desperation, after hesitating for a moment, he finally ordered the soldiers to break through the city gates.
Everything went well, and it went so well that it was just weird.
When the gate was slammed open, General Shawar did not see the Sith army in his imagination, but only a dark, quiet and silent street unfolded in front of them, silently welcoming the visitors.
"All...... The whole army marched. ”
Swallowing his saliva, Sava paused, and finally gave the order, which he had to make up his mind to make, although he felt very, very bad, and the whole situation was too unexpected. After all, at this time, there are already many officers under him who are wavering, and if he can't be stable, then everything will become very troublesome.
But things did not change as Shawar imagined, and even completely exceeded any scene he could imagine, although Shawar was already a veteran general, a veteran, but he had never seen such a strange scene. There is no enemy in sight, not even people, where the battle is supposed to be fought. How is this possible? There are 120,000 troops in this royal city, but what about their people? Is it hidden? This is impossible, even if it is hidden, it is 120,000 people, how many can be hidden?
Could it be that Lord Yulian has caused them a great deal of damage? This is not right, all the way, Shava carefully observed, but there was no trace of the battle at all, and there was no trace of blood or corpses, and the whole street was very clean, and there was no problem -- this was the biggest problem in the first place.
There were no soldiers lying in ambush waiting to attack them, there was no resistance, and there was no welcome to the people of the rebels, nothing, the royal city of Nuoda was dark and quiet, and there was no shadow of any one, as if in the city, it had completely lost its popularity. It has completely become a dead city with no people, a place without life. Not only him and the officers under him, but even those ordinary soldiers were aware of the problem at this moment. They didn't see the soldiers of the Sith Empire who thought they would fight to the death, nor did they see the inhabitants of the city, the whole city was pitch black, and even the light of the fire could not dispel this darkness. The team, which was still a little noisy, gradually quieted down at this moment, and the soldiers were extremely nervous and confused, but they had no way to do anything, they could only follow the command of their commander, and slowly advance towards the depths of the royal city.
What's going on here?
Shava's doubts grew stronger, and so did the uneasiness in his heart, and it was not until they reached the square in front of the royal city that this feeling reached its climax.
"I thought you'd come sooner, look at it now, it's getting dark. ”
Yulian, who was standing leisurely in the middle of the square, waved his hand and showed his usual smile to everyone.
As if nothing had happened.
