Chapter 482: Prelude to the Decisive Battle
"Your Majesty, you guessed wrong this time!" A pale gray figure appeared on the terrace, just in time to see Yolande reclining on a chaise longue, staring at the night sky, his eyes were clearly a little shiny and shiny, the figure was stunned and whispered: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty bothered you...... I remembered ...... again"
"It doesn't matter. Yolande said lightly: "What were you talking about just now?"
"This time you guessed wrong. The figure smiled, he didn't want to dwell on the topic that would make Yolande sad, and said: "The army of the Shining Sand Empire has been in turmoil, they have lost all their fighting spirit, and their alliance no longer exists, Manjusli has returned to Blackwater City, and the Holy See also made a new decision the day before yesterday, ordering the Bright Knight Legion to remain neutral and not to clash with the great army of our Ma'ao Empire, Your Majesty's victory is at hand!"
"Oh?" said Yoland, a look of surprise on his face.
"Your Majesty, I remember what you said clearly!" the figure said with a smile: "You said that as soon as Sejialan died, the Flash Sand Empire would inevitably react strongly, and even did not rule out the possibility of a decisive battle in advance, now it seems that you overestimate them." ”
Yolande sat up slowly, looked at the night sky, and turned his gaze to the stone slab at his feet, pacing back and forth step by step, with a solemn expression, as if something had stumped him.
Yolande rarely showed such a look, and the figure felt a little conscious, and couldn't help but ask softly, "Your Majesty, is it ...... What's wrong?"
"You don't understand what the person sitting on the throne cares about most. It's hard for you to guess what I think, and it's hard to guess what Edward VIII thought. Yolande said lightly: "Although it cannot be denied that Edward VIII has many shortcomings, such as timidity, stinginess, and even an incompetent king, don't forget that he is facing the danger of losing everything, and even a cowardly person may become crazy!"
"Your Majesty. My men reported that Edward VIII was furious when he heard of the assassination of Segaram, and that he had killed several maids under the pretext that he was now panicking. ”
"My old friend, it's not that Edward is panicking, it's that you're too excited, with your eyesight. If you can calm down, you should be able to see the problem here. Yolande smiled: "We all think that Edward VIII is incompetent, but only we are qualified to think that Edward VIII is incompetent, think about it, is Edward VIII really incompetent to such a point? Like the ugliest farmer, he only dares to vent his anger and fear on his family?!"
"This ......"
"If you're telling the truth. Then it is even more suspicious, why is such an Edward sitting on the throne?"
"Your Majesty, what do you mean ......?"
"A person who is about to drown will hold on to even a straw when he sees it!" "Yolande said slowly: "It has been more than ten days since the loss of Segaran caused a major blow to Edward VIII, but he still has the army in his hands, how can he let the army go into chaos, do you really think that a king's binding force on the army is so weak? As soon as Segaran died, the entire army collapsed? Are hundreds of thousands of soldiers loyal to the king or to Sejialan? hehe......"
"Your Majesty, do you think they have a conspiracy?"
"I don't know. I only know what Edward VIII should do now!" Yolande said categorically: "The army brought out by Segaran claims to be 170,000 to the outside world, but in fact, according to our intelligence, she should lead an army of 230,000! The Shining Sand Empire has a total of 310,000 regular troops, if Sejialan's army is annihilated or defeated, the entire foundation of the empire will completely collapse, can Edward VIII sit back and wait for death?!"
"And where is Sejialan stationed?she's by the Blackwater River!Do they have a way out?!Passing through most of the mercenary country, passing through Amphi's White Mountain City and Marinor's Wind and Rain Castle. Retreat to the homeland, that's a joke!" Yolande shook his head, "So I think Edward will become a gambler who has lost his eyes, and he will take out all his capital and concentrate all his strength on fighting to the death with my empire." It's a battle to the death! That's what a monarch should do. Despite his incompetence, at the last moment. He wouldn't even have the courage to do that!"
"Then what the hell are they doing?" the pale gray figure frowned, "My people reported that the Alison Empire's troops have been moving frequently recently, and the first army of the Shining Sand Empire to flee has been fleeing in the northwest direction, I thought they were going to flee to the Alison Empire, and the Alison Empire was going to send troops to meet them." ”
"It's even more ridiculous. Yolande sneered, "Is there such a close relationship between the allies......?" We all know Anfei better, he's friends with Marino, but can he hand over Suzanne to Marino and let Marino take command?"
"How can An Fei, who has always been inseparable, be reluctant?" the pale gray figure laughed.
"Edward VIII is even more reluctant to let the 230,000 army led by Sejialan be his lifeline!"
"I can't figure out what the hell they're going to do......? Lure the enemy?"
"It doesn't matter what they're going to do, it's what we're going to do next. Yolande paused for a moment and then said lightly, "Now...... It's time to fulfill Miorrich's wish. ”
"He's going to be so excited that he can't sleep. The figure laughed, "But what about Marshal Béeri, he is waiting for your order." ”
"He can do whatever he wants. Yolande thought for a moment, "But...... I need to write a letter to Béeri, and ask your local to deliver it directly to him. ”
"Understood. The pale gray figure replied softly.
When Yolande was talking to his closest old friend, the three great masters of the undead, who had been with each other for hundreds of years, also met, in fact, they had been separated for more than twenty years, and there should be endless words to say when they met on the first day of the new year, but Gorman, Morgan and Darth Vdaya were relatively speechless, and it was Morgan who broke the silence first: "Gorman brought us here, you should be ready, go back with us." ”
"I'm not going back. Gorman shook his head slowly.
"You ......" Morgan smiled wryly, "I couldn't find you before, but you've opened the Ring of Immortality, what reason do I have not to find you?!"
"I hope you don't go back. ”
As soon as these words came out, Morgan and Darth Vitya became stunned on the spot, although the muscles on the necromancer's face were a little stiff, and it was difficult to fully express the emotional changes in their hearts, but their expressions were now full of proof of what kind of shock they had received.
"Do you think it's possible?" said Darth Vdaya coldly, Gorman meant to make them betray Minos I too, or even openly betray it, this idea is crazy!
"Do you believe me?" said Gorman, as if he hadn't sensed Darth Vadaya's attitude, and his tone was still very sincere.
"Gorman, if I didn't believe you, you were caught twenty years ago!" Morgan said slowly: "Gorman, I used to think you were the smartest person, who would have thought that you would be so naïve, I'm sorry, we really can't help you, come with us!"
"Actually...... I know what you're thinking, you've been working hard to build up your strength, and in the future, even if the teacher really destroys all lives, you can join forces to fight against the teacher, at least you can survive. Gorman smiled: "It seems to me that you are more naïve than I am!"
"What do you mean, Gorman?" Morgan's face jumped, in fact, confrontation with the teacher has become inevitable, no one wants to be a victim, but what kind of confrontation method to choose, there is a huge difference between them, and now Morgan knows that there is a huge difference in strength, and he has no courage to express his attitude.
"I mean, since my betrayal, the teacher should have become suspicious of you, and he has a much colder attitude towards you than before, right?"
Morgan and Darth Vitdaya looked at each other and didn't answer.
"Darth Vidaya is safer in comparison, Morgan, your situation is already very dangerous!"
"Gorman to be plain!"
"Over the years, the teacher has asked you to hunt me down and look for the Ring of Imimmortality, I know that you are because of the relationship between us and can't bear to poison me, in fact, the teacher also knows. Gorman said softly, "But did he punish you? Morgan is not lenient, but accumulating, and after the teacher destroys me, the next one will be you, and he has enough reasons to destroy you! Where do you still have the opportunity to join forces? If you must say that there is, it can only be now!"
"Wait a minute, Gorman!" Darth Viddaya interjected, "since you say I'm safe, why should I stay?"
"Morgan and I have betrayed both of the teacher's students, can you keep your loyalty, and even if you can, what would the teacher think?" Gorman said slowly, "Then you will be the first to be destroyed." ”
If it is put in modern times, Gorman's rhetoric belongs to stealing the beam and changing the pillar, but Morgan and Darth Vadaya do not have this concept, and their faces become very ugly.
"The Ring of Immortality was sealed by me in a unique way, and no one but me should try to open the seal, so the teacher will use all means to solidify my soul and never allow me to dissipate. Then the teacher will be able to know about our relationship and even our conversation today!" Gorman said softly, "Does Morgandas Vitdaya still want me to go back with you?"
