Chapter 269: Shocked
The ornate and heavy wooden door of the box was vigorously pushed open, and four Rhine guards in golden armor strode in with heavy and neat steps, the rich aroma of wine and the faint cold air swarming in from behind them, but even this could not hide the solemn and resolute aura of the four of them.
Behind the four of them, an emaciated figure walked in with slightly messy steps, meticulously full of silver hair, messy in dense sweat because of the hurry, Ko Solan's face was pale, which was different from his usual white face, it was panicked and miserable, and his eyes were full of six gods and no master.
"Butler Cosolon, what's wrong?" At first, Achill was slightly unhappy in his heart, but then Cosolo's expression made him chuckle in his heart, since he could remember, this trusted Fox butler was calm and calm no matter what he did, and this was the first time he had seen such an expression on Kosomo's face.
"Get out! all go out!" Cosomo used a dry voice without hesitation of etiquette, and at the same time looked at Jessica's eyes flashed with a trace of hideous and terrible killing intent, "I know everything about you, if you hear something you shouldn't hear, I swear, I swear by my family's inheritance, I will let the ignorant bloodline be cut off forever on this continent!"
Jessica's face changed, and she was also frightened by Corsolon's attitude, as the steward of King Lionheart, he had to maintain the image of himself and the family of King Lionheart at all times, what had made him lose his temper to such a point.
Although she was curious to know what was going on, curiosity only flashed through Jessica's heart. The silver-haired old Fox in front of him was not something she could provoke, since he said it, he must be able to do it, and walked out quickly with a few frightened Fox girls.
"Butler Cosolon, what happened?" Xia Zuo asked in a deep voice, the low air pressure on his body that made the air in the entire VIP hall solidify.
"This is a letter from His Highness to the prince and the lord of Xiazuo!" Cosoro pulled out a rudimentary animal skin scroll from his bosom, which looked like it had been torn from a tent of animal skins and stained with mottled blood.
Xia Zuo noticed Cosolo's hand as he pulled out the scroll. I shuddered involuntarily. After taking a few heavy breaths, he controlled the twitching palm.
Achill's face was heavy and he unfolded the hide, the handwriting on it was already a little dirty and black, and the wild notes were familiar. But there is a clutter that is not usually available. There were only a few big characters written anxiously on the animal skin.
Achill was stunned. His face quickly turned pale, and he looked up at Cosolo in a trembling manner, as if to make sure he was not mistaken. I opened my mouth and stammered for a long time, but I didn't make any sound, and finally my body went soft, and my ass reached the ground, and then I finally held back a sentence from my mouth, "How is this possible?
Xia Zuo frowned, took the animal skin that slowly fell from Achill's hand in his hand, and after unfolding it, his face couldn't help but leak the same expression as Achill.
The blood that had been stained on the animal skin had a row of big characters written on it: "The Tiger Roar King died in battle, the Tiger Roar City fell, and now retreat to the God of War City, quickly build a third defense with Hunter Canyon in case there is a change!"
This handwriting Xia Zuo is very familiar, it is the note of the Lionheart King, but it is not at all the same as the closeness and restraint of the usual day, and there is a sense of anxiety in the arrogant and domineering killing intent.
"The Tiger Roar King died in battle" Xia Zuo's voice was a little hoarse, how could this be possible? Angus led the Beamon royal family to Tiger Roar City only before yesterday, how could it be that a supreme person like the Tiger Roar King would die in battle today.
"Prince Achill, what should we do now?" Even the weather-hardened Kosolo couldn't help but panic, Tiger Roar City fell? Even if the ancient Campas tribe was defeated and retreated to the Campas Plateau, in the face of the surging pursuit of the Terrans, Tiger Roar City never fell, and it was the first time it was captured by the enemy since it was built.
"It's not a good place to talk about this, let's go back!" Archill stiffened his limbs and stood up from the ground, waving his palm weakly, this news must not be spread now, otherwise it will definitely cause a huge panic in Lionheart.
In the hall of Lionheart Castle, the leaders of all the current combat strength of Lionheart City arrived quickly, and their faces were all the same pale, including the Lionheart Legion soldiers who had hugged a squad directly belonging to Achill, the captain of the Centaur Ranger of five brigades, and the division commander and ten captains of the Tyrant Ape Legion of a division, and the commander of the Lionheart Fortress's two thousand Lionheart guards, and the commander of the five thousand garrisons of Lionheart City.
By the time Xia Zuo and Archer walked into the hall, their faces were already as usual, although they were still a little ugly, but at least the look of the six gods and no master had disappeared, Archer sat in the middle of the first place, and Xia Zuo sat under him.
"Okay! everyone knows the news, let's talk about what you think!" Although the voice was hoarse, it exuded a reassuring atmosphere, and the majestic appearance seemed to make people mistakenly think that they had seen the much younger Lionheart.
The commanders who were doing it glanced at each other, but their eyes were slowly blank and faintly flustered, Tiger Roaring City was too important, and the indefatigable image collapsed, which was an unbearable blow to the orcs who were doing it.
"Captain, you have a smart brain, we will do what you say!" said a burly warrior of the Lionheart Legion, staring at a pair of brass bell-like eyes, looking around at the somewhat flustered warriors, "Look at you little chicks, if you are afraid, you will all hide behind me when the time comes, and I will protect your safety!"
"What are you talking about?" the division commander of the Tyrannical Ape Legion hung the table angrily, although he was only a silver fighter, the Kampas were not allowed to allow anyone to desecrate their honor, even if the other party was a noble and powerful Lionheart warrior.
"I'm going to duel you, you bastard" angry fists that made the candlesticks on the table flutter and make a clanging sound.
"Shut up! Klitz sit down for me! Insult the honor of your fellow clan, demerit once, and when the meeting is over, you will go to the sergeant irrigation to receive the punishment!" Archer rebuked coldly, and that flash of majesty made the shouting Lionheart Fighter involuntarily sit down and turn his head to look to the side.
"Alright, Goode, sit down too! no one here will doubt your bravery!" said Natsuzo, who also motioned for the angry Goode to sit down.
With Xia Zuo's current prestige, although the commander of the Gude Division was angry, he still chose to sit down.
Although the atmosphere smelled of gunpowder, at least after such a commotion, the atmosphere of chaos in the hall had dissipated a lot, and the valiant Campas were never afraid of battle, even in the face of a sea of conquests.
"Alright, since you all have no opinion, then I'll do it!" Achille paused, then looked around, "Before you came, I and Lord Xia Zuo have discussed the current situation, according to the Lionheart's order, we must quickly build a defense in the Teke Canyon, where the terrain is narrow and large-scale army groups are difficult to play, Lord Xia Zuo has summoned Vegeta City, and sent skilled Munk craftsmen to guide them. ”
Saying this, Achill paused, gave Xia Zuo a look, and motioned for him to continue.
"The march of the army is slow, and it will take a month to a month and a half for the human army to march from the mountains and rivers of the god of war to the city of the god of war, so during this time, we must build a wall high enough and thick enough in the Teke Canyon, which requires a large number of strong laborers, in addition to being drawn from various tribes, I recommend that all human prisoners of war be stranded and escorted to the Teke Canyon to build the city wall. ”
With Xia Zuo's voice, the faces of several Campas fighters present couldn't help but be a little ugly.
"The warriors of Kampas will never let weak humans huddle behind the walls to fight, true warriors should face the enemy head-on in the wilderness!" Klitz muttered quietly to the hearts of most of the people present.
"Hmph!" Xia Zuo snorted coldly, and the powerful coercion of the golden fighter instantly made the air pressure in the hall freeze to freezing point, "If you can defeat the army of millions of humans with the strength of one person, then I will take back my words, as a soldier, if you want to protect your people, shut up and obey the order honestly!"
Xia Zuo's powerful coercion made most of the people present sweat on their foreheads, and under his cold gaze, they couldn't help but dodge their gaze.
As soon as the terrifying aura that could be emitted was put away, Xia Zuo said to the upright old butler standing on the side, "Mr. Cosolao, please send someone to immediately gather all the combat power of Lionheart City, and send messengers to quickly go to all the tribes of the Munk, Boer Minotaur and Centaur tribes, and gather all the reserve warriors of each tribe." ”
"All?" said Corso, confused.
"That's right, all!" Xia Zuo lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice, "If the human army rushes through the Teke Canyon, then the Admiral of the God of War Plateau will no longer have a place to defend, and what awaits us at that time is extinction, and the human race will definitely not be merciful, rather than waiting for this, it is better to gather all the combat strength to fight to the death!"
After Xia Zuo finished saying this, after everyone present looked at each other, the puzzled look on their faces faded.
Just as Corsolo was about to leave, Achill suddenly interjected, his face was serious, and his handsome face was full of unprecedented determination, "Also, let all territories gather young children under the age of fourteen with pure blood, and select from all races and tribes!" Steward Cosolo, I will give you five hundred Lionheart Castle guards, this matter is personally responsible for you, it is required to be kept absolutely confidential, it must be completed within half a month, the children's designated gathering place is except for you, even the two of us do not need to be informed, if we are defeated, you will lead them into the polar ice field, we can die in battle, but the bloodline of Kampas must not be cut off from us!"
