Chapter 383: A Change of Principle

According to the information that Bravi had, after An Fei took Ozgucci and others to leave the legion, the Grand Knight of Fernando had already issued an order for the whole army to attack Raidenburg, it took a few days to come here, and it would take a few days to go back, and Ann Fei estimated that Fernando should have occupied Raidenburg during this time, so he simply let OzgΓΌch lead the way with his regiment in front and go straight to Raidenburg. 【】

The road back is not peaceful, a large number of undead creatures are like endless flies, killing one batch, and will meet the next batch, but for the mercenary group with more than a thousand people, the strength of the undead creatures is not enough to pose any threat, repeated several times, and the mercenaries are also used to this kind of painless battle.

Three days later, An Fei rushed to Redenburg with his mercenaries, and sure enough, the current Reddenburg has become the territory of the Shield of Light, and around Redenburg, there are almost hundreds of banners embroidered with golden shields fluttering in the wind. The flag has a practical purpose, but it is not only for the sake of showing its might, each banner represents a number. In the center of the golden shield is embroidered a war horse with its front hooves raised, which represents the vanguard of the Bright Shield Legion, and on the golden shield is obliquely embroidered a knight's spear, which represents the cavalry brigade, and in the center of the golden shield is embroidered a roaring lion, which is the symbol of Fernando's personal guard, which means that the entire command center is in Raidenburg. Not only the brigade, but also each squadron and squad also has its own flag, which is conducive to the commander of the entire army commanding his own army like an arm.

An Fei is now a big man, and when he heard the news of An Fei's return, the coach Fernando and the overseer Chris both came out of the castle, and the two sides exchanged a few simple greetings, and then made a humble concession, and Fernando was the big knight in front. Anfei and Chris walked towards the castle together, and at this moment, an inopportune voice rang out: "Anfei-sama, I heard that your wife is missing......?

An Fei was stunned. Stopping and looking in the direction from which the voice came, Marquis Zose and several knights of light walked over, Marquis Zose's face was full of schadenfreude, while the knights of light looked a little embarrassed. Susanna's disappearance was a secret, and although they knew the news, they didn't know exactly what happened, and they only subconsciously thought that they must have been attacked by undead creatures.

For the vast majority of Knights of Light. There is nothing to be happy about this news, it is true that An Fei has conflicts with them, but the necromancer is their number one enemy, and the victory or defeat of the war determines whether they survive or destroy, An Fei is his own person after all, and has made a lot of achievements. He also once teamed up with Slanberger to kill the necromancer Anassita, gloating over Susanna's misfortune, which was too petty.

Not only were the Light Knights a little embarrassed, but Chris's face was already tense. A hint of boredom also flashed in Fernando's eyes, comparing Anfei with Zose, who didn't help him much except for having the status of a marquis and a certain amount of influence, while Anfei was a capable doer. The value of his land is much greater than that of Zosse.

"Of course, Suzanne is nothing to you. There are a few elven maids by your side, it's a big deal......" Before Zose's words could be finished, he was interrupted by a crisp sound.

An Fei had appeared in front of the Marquis of Zose, and gave him a slap with a backhand, the reason why it was not too heavy was because he didn't want to kill the Marquis of Zose on the spot, and the reason why it was not too light was because he couldn't vent his anger when he was light.

Marquis Zose covered his face and stayed there, he never dreamed that An Fei would dare to beat him in front of everyone, you know, he is a dignified imperial marquis!

"How dare you ......"

Marquis Zose's roar was interrupted again, literally broken, An Fei flicked his wrist and twitched it on the other side of Marquis Zose's cheek, and then An Fei's arm shook over, and slapped Marquis Zose in the face mercilessly, his strength was just right, Marquis Zosse swayed from side to side like a sapling in the wind, but he never fell.

"Master Anfei!" exclaimed Fernando. Although he also felt that Marquis Zose's stimulation of An Fei was too much, but Marquis Zose's help him after all, he couldn't just watch it.

An Fei had already drawn the last slap, the Marquis of Zose turned in a half circle on the spot, and fell to the ground, his eyes looked at An Fei blankly, his mouth opened and closed uncertainly, but he didn't make any sound, it wasn't that he was frightened by An Fei, his face was whipped, and his brain would be concussed, for a frail old man like Zuo Sai, the effect of the concussion was even more obvious, his consciousness was already blank, and he couldn't even feel the pain, let alone react.

Behind Zuo Sai, the Light Knight hurriedly took a few steps forward and blocked An Fei, who was expressionless and turned around and walked back.

"Lord Anfei, you are really ......" Fernando smiled wryly, not to mention Chris's checks and balances on him, his own power is very limited, even if Anfei really kills Zose, it will not be his turn to punish him, not to mention that for the sake of internal stability, Anfei is the object he must woo, the only feasible thing is to be reasonable to Anfei, if you take a tough attitude, you can only make your situation more passive.

The two knights of light bent down to help the Marquis of Zosei up, his cheeks were already swollen, and blood foam dripped down the corners of his mouth on his chest, but his eyes were still dim, and it seemed that he was still in a 'concussion', which made Fernando secretly worried, will this Zosey be beaten stupid by An Fei?

An Fei shook his hand casually, he didn't respond to Fernando's helplessness, Chris said softly: "Forget it, An Fei, the time will be very long in the future, we have a chance to settle accounts with him!"

Chris's words surprised many people, because he was usually a very gentle person and rarely spoke in such an aggressive tone. But people always have to gradually change with the environment and experience, everyone can get to this day safely, the two biggest heroes are An Fei and Susanna, in Chris's heart, they are his closest partners, Marquis Zose's schadenfreude made him feel as uncomfortable as a heart, if it wasn't for his identity too sensitive, he also rushed up.

Fernando's wry smile became even stronger, listening to Chris's meaning, it is still far from enough to beat him so violently? Will he have to settle the account slowly in the future? But he can't say anything: "Lord Chris, we finally waited for Lord Anfei to come back." Let's hurry up and discuss the big things. ”

"What's wrong?" An Fei was stunned.

"According to the original plan, we were to continue the sweep forward as soon as we captured Raidenburg, and now you should see that all the troops of the Shield of Light have not moved. Fernando sighed, "Let's go inside and talk." ”

Good. Anfei nodded. He followed Fernando.

None of the people present realized, not even An Fei himself, that today's violent beating of the Marquis of Zose represents a huge change in An Fei's principles of life. In addition to dealing with some vulnerable and weak groups, Anfei is always cautious, never easily provokes trouble, and always launches a certain degree of counterattack after others take the initiative to provoke. Killed Zeda that day. Later, when he learned that Zeda was the grandson of the great swordsman Philip, Anfei regretted it very much, even though Zeda had seriously threatened his life, he thought that he should not be killed. But now, knowing that the people behind those druids are Manjusli, they know that the elves have incalculable potential. He still killed, knowing that Zose was a marquis of the empire and had a noble status, and touching Zose might cause a large group of nobles to be dissatisfied. He still started to fight.

Not long after, Fernando, An Fei and the others had already walked into a tall mansion and sat down separately, Fernando rubbed his hands and looked at Chris: "Lord Chris." Did you say it or did I say it?"

"Say it to you, you know better than I do. ”

"It's fine. Fernando hesitated for a moment: "First of all, I want to admit it. I made a big mistake. ”

"Huh...... Lord Fernando, you've blamed yourself many times these days, but you don't have to. Chris laughs.

"No, you have to make it clear. Fernando shook his head: "Because of my mistake, the whole plan has become a dead letter, and I have to take this responsibility." ”

"So serious?" An Fei asked in surprise.

"Yes, it's very serious, my plan is to immediately split into two ways after rescuing the mercenaries in Raidenburg, all the way to support the city of Whipland and all the way to the town of Madrid, you know this plan, but ...... Now we can't go anywhere. Fernando showed a helpless look: "You came from the northwest this time, and you encountered a lot of undead creatures on the way, right?"

"Yes. ”

"Can you take the liberty of asking, why did you leave the Legion all of a sudden?" Fernando asked with concern.

"There were some friends who were trapped by undead creatures, and the situation was urgent, and I didn't have time to tell you, so I rushed over with my mercenaries. ”

"Oh. Fernando nodded, he knew that what An Fei said was a pretext, although he was very interested in An Fei's sudden departure, but now was not the time to study secrets, he changed the topic again: "My land plan is based on the premise that every time I occupy a place, I will not only rescue the besieged mercenaries, but also completely destroy all the undead creatures in the vicinity. In the past, the undead war told us that all the undead creatures are a whole, as long as the undead creatures are attacked, the nearby undead creatures will rush over to support, although now there is a lack of necromancer command, but I think that those undead creatures will not sit back and watch their own kind be slaughtered, so I just choose a place to ignite the war, and I can easily destroy all the nearby undead creatures. ”

"The undead creatures are just a plate of scattered sand, we came out of the Hengduan Valley, and there were many conflicts with the undead creatures along the way, each zombie group has a fixed leader, they won't support each other, haven't you noticed?" An Fei continued.

"I noticed, but I thought that those wandering zombies who were just abandoned, the main force of the undead creatures should uphold their traditions, not afraid of sacrifice, unity, and have an uncontrollable thirst for human flesh and blood, but in fact, ......" Fernando said with a wry smile: "This time, after the vanguard team arrived in Raidenburg, according to my orders, they clashed with the undead creatures first, and eliminated some of the zombies in order to attract more hatred and gather more zombies, but do you know what happened the next morning?" ”

"What happened?"

"The zombies besieging Raidenburg have escaped, and they have escaped!" Fernando said slowly, "I never dreamed that they would escape!

"You should know that zombies now have the ability to evolve, the most perfectly evolved zombies, not only can communicate with zombies, but also with us, they are the same as normal humans, they have **, reason, and know fear, and even beg for mercy. ”

Fernando was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "I know, but I am still affected by inertia, which is why I am responsible." ”

"How many zombies have escaped?"

"There are about 8,000 of them, and there are not many zombies besieging Raidenburg, and almost all of them have escaped. Fernando said softly, "That's not the most important thing, I thought that fighting near Raidenburg would attract all the zombies nearby, but they didn't react. ”

After speaking, Fernando picked up the water cup, splashed the water in the water cup on the table, and then swiped it with his finger, and after a while, the water stains that had been scratched slowly closed again: "The current situation is like this, the undead creatures we have exterminated are very limited, in our rear, northwest, and northeast, there are still a large number of undead creatures, and when we leave, they will regain control of this area, in order to ensure the safety of the rear, we must disperse the army and completely wipe it out." ”

"It's going to take a long time. ”

"We have time. Fernando said slowly: "But...... The besieged mercenaries may not be able to wait for our help. ”

"What do you mean ......"

"In general, the troops are still divided into two routes, the main force is responsible for completely clearing out the undead creatures behind, and then sending elite troops to support those precarious cities. Fernando said: "This is just my preliminary idea, how to do it, everyone has to think about it carefully, and I have always had a feeling of uneasiness recently, the necromancer's performance is too strange, maybe...... They have some conspiracy. ”

"Why do you think so?"

"Let's talk about Raidenburg, as long as the necromancer controls it a little and gathers all the nearby undead creatures, Raidenburg has already been captured! But not only did they not interfere with the undead creatures, but they disappeared en masse, in my opinion, there are only two possibilities, the first is that they are very satisfied with the current situation, and they are so satisfied that they are too lazy to do anything, but this ...... It doesn't quite fit their style, and second, they don't have any extra energy, so what do they do with all their energy?"

"Shadow Empire?" An Fei suddenly remembered Black Eleven's discovery. "What did you say??" asked Fernando in surprise.
