Chapter 620: The Blackened Empire Leader

"If it weren't for the reluctance of the two patriarchs, Susan and Karn, I would have asked Captain Jack to dismantle the Yellow Sand Fortress directly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Watching the undead shells continue to fall into the enemy lines, destroying the strong defensive walls and tall pillboxes, Rogge said to Catherine beside him, "In that case, all we need to do is search for Grote's body from the rubble of the fortress." ”

"But then we will not be able to lay a stab at the enemy and use his blood to honor the dead. Susan walked up from behind and stood side by side with them, looking at the front checkpoint of the Yellow Sand Fortress that had turned into a sea of fire.

"Of course, we also have to pay a lot for this. Karn stroked his beard and stood beside Susan, and said meaningfully, "We must use our forces to capture the third level, and then we can approach the gates of the fortress, eliminate the three layers of guards inside the fortress, and break through the hall of the patriarch." ”

"I believe that our warriors would rather stain the staircase of the fortress red with the blood of the enemy and enjoy the victory of storming the fortress than to do nothing, stand here and watch it crumble into rubble, and then go to the ruins to find the corpses of the enemy. ”

Susan pulled out the double-edged battle axe left by her father from her waist and turned back to the orc coalition behind her, shouting, "Soldiers, tonight, I will fight side by side with you to capture the Yellow Sand Fortress and take back into our own hands everything that Grote sold to the Shadow Fortress!"

The soldiers of the company shouted in unison, and Susan, Batis, Amus, Anuba, and Shakula each led their own orcs, trolls, beetles, and scorpions to attack the Yellow Sands Fortress at the same time, and Karn stayed behind at the base camp to take command and support the actions of the four armies.

"It seems like it's time for us to go. Rogge looked back in the direction of the two regiments of the Empire, but only saw the formation of the Knights, the position of the Priesthood was empty, he turned around and walked to the uniform formation of the Knights in confusion, and did not find Antonio, so he had to ask the knights where Antonio was.

One of the knights told him that the head of the regiment had gone to the priesthood to look for the high priest, and Rog and Catherine went to the priesthood quarters, and heard a commotion in the distance, and saw Antonio and the high priest Goethe standing in front of the tent, as if arguing about something.

"Hey, the battle has begun, do the two regiment commanders want to fight on their own first?" asked Rogge as he strode over to the two of them.

"Lone wolf, even if you come, it's useless, I won't agree!" Goethe said with a cold look at Rogge with his one-eyed eye.

"Is that what the High Priest said about it, did Master Antonio make any unwarranted request from you?" asked Rogge, looking at Antonio, who was standing across from Goethe, suspiciously.

"The High Priest refused to go with me. Antonio looked at Goethe with a frown and said: "Now that the war has reached a critical moment, as long as we capture the Yellow Sand Fortress, we can thwart William's plot to rule the desert, and then turn to the altar of the Desert Patron Deity to obtain the Pharaoh's Stone and advance to the Shadow Fortress!"

"At this time, the high priest, you actually retreat from the enemy, won't you lose face to the empire?" Antonio looked at Goethe sternly, and the high priest sneered coldly: "I brought the priest group here, not to help these orc barbarians fight hard, but you used the two regiments of the empire as a tool of these barbarians, I won't be as stupid as you!"

The two glared at each other angrily, Rogge and Catherine on the side exchanged glances, Rogge stepped forward to stop the two and persuaded: "I think, this matter might as well be done like this, the high priest is understandable for not trusting the orcs, since you don't want the priesthood to charge, then I have a beautiful mission for you." ”

Goethe turned his head and glared at him and was about to refuse, but Rogge took the lead and pressed his mouth with his hand and said, "Don't be in a hurry to refuse, I just need you to lead the priests to hold the north side of the Yellow Sand Fortress, and before the battle is over, if you find any signs of the Thunderbird approaching, immediately send someone to report to the base camp." ”

"Thunderbirds?" Goethe asked, frowning in surprise, wondering if there were any ghosts among them, "Aren't those Thunderbirds at war with the Cyclops?

"War is ever-changing, anything can happen, the big battle in the Yellow Sand Fortress is likely to alarm the Thunderbirds, and once they come to reinforce Grote, we will suffer losses if we are unprepared, so we need outposts, I think it couldn't be easier for you. Rogge said to Goethe with a smile.

The high priest pondered for a moment, and felt that this matter was very simple, and there would be no loss of troops, and he could justifiably share the credit in the battle, which could be described as a hundred benefits and no harm, so he nodded and agreed.

Rogge then pulled Antonio away, who was still angry, and Goethe looked at Antonio's departing back triumphantly, and ordered the priests to gather and lead the priests to leave the station and march to the predetermined location.

The priesthood bypassed the main battlefield of the Yellow Sand Fortress, and the earth-shattering shouts of killing from the direction of the Yellow Sand Fortress echoed in the distance, and they went around from the south side of the Yellow Sand Fortress to the north side, and stopped in the vast wasteland between the Yellow Sand Fortress and the Eagle's Nest Cliff.

"Here's it," Goethe looked down at the map in his hand by the light of the torches, and Rog marked the same location as he was now, and ordered the priests to rest in place, and let the twelve priests work together to activate the circle of holy light and illuminate the sky overhead.

Just as the light of the circle illuminated the night sky, a priest suddenly came to Goethe's side and said, "High priest, Master Antonio is here." ”

"What is he doing here?" Goethe looked back in astonishment, only to see Antonio, dressed in full silver armor, striding up to him and saying, "High Priest, I have something to tell you. ”

"Say whatever you want, Captain Antonio," Goethe replied coldly, turning to face in the direction of the Holy Light Circle, "My time is very tight, I must keep an eye on the sky, and I can't let a Thunderbird pass!"

"I only have one word, I won't delay you too much. Antonio stepped forward to Goethe, and Goethe, hearing his words, turned his head and looked at him suspiciously, only to hear him grit his teeth and shout: "Go to hell, High Priest!" and suddenly summoned a holy war hammer in his hand and smashed it on Goethe's head.

The High Priest Goethe, who was suddenly hit in the head by Antonio with a holy war hammer, was caught off guard and fell to the ground headlong, and the surrounding priests were taken aback, hurriedly stepped forward to protect the High Priest, and tried to control Antonio.

The chief of the knights threw the holy hammer at the priests who gathered around him, and he turned and ran in the direction from which he had come, and the priests, not bothering to chase him, gathered around Goethe, and saw him struggling to sit up from the ground with his head covered.

Antonio's blow just now did not leave a wound on his head, and the divine magic in Goethe's body formed a protective barrier, but despite this, the heavy blow still made Goethe feel dizzy and sat on the ground for a long time without getting up.

Soon after, on the battlefield of the Yellow Sand Fortress, Susan, the matriarch of the poisonous wolf tribe who led the troops to reunite, held her father's double-edged battle axe and condensed the power of fire on the axe.

"Rush in, kill all those who don't surrender, and the ogres go destroy the gates of the fortress and storm the city!" Susan shouted orders to the soldiers around her as she brandished her fiery battle axe, and several large ogres roared and smashed through the enemy army and rushed towards the gate of the hilltop fortress.

Suddenly, the flames burning in the night shot a dark shadow from behind Susan to the ground in front of her, only to see him raise the war hammer in his hand and smash it at Susan, Susan quickly turned around and swung the battle axe, the war hammer and the battle axe collided together, and the two of them each took a step back, standing on both sides of the burning flame and looking at each other.

"Captain Antonio?" When Susan recognized the other party with the help of the flames, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "What are you doing here, why are you attacking me?"

"To send you to see your dead father!" Antonio waved the shield in his left hand, and a holy light shone on Susan's eyes, and the dazzling light suddenly made Susan's eyes white, and she stepped back in a panic, suddenly feeling a sharp pain in her shoulder, and a powerful force dragged her to the ground.

Susan, who had recovered her sight from the bright light, saw the spearhead of the divine spear penetrate her shoulder, and Antonio stepped on her body with his foot and sneered: "Stupid fellow, do you think you can defeat the Shadow Fortress in this way?

"Are you—......" Susan was surprised to see him raise the shield in his left hand and smash it on his head, only to hear a crisp collision sound, a spear held the falling shield, Susan and Antonio turned back at the same time, and saw the troll chief Amus holding a spear between the two.

"What's going on, what are you doing?" Amus looked at them in amazement, and Susan exclaimed when he saw this, "Great Chief, he's from the Shadow Fortress, save me!"

"What?" Amus looked at Antonio in surprise, and the Knight Master threw the shield in his hand at Amos, and the troll chief raised his spear to block it, and the shield fell to the ground and disappeared, and then looked at Antonio when the man had disappeared without a trace.

Amus hurriedly stepped forward to help Susan up, and seeing that the spear-pierced wound on her shoulder was bleeding, he beckoned the witch doctor to help Susan treat the wound and said to Susan, "What the hell is going on, isn't he the supreme knight of the Human Empire?

"I don't know," Susan shook her head in confusion, "just now he suddenly attacked me from behind, and said that we can't defeat the Shadow Fortress, and you saw what happened next." ”

"We have to tell Rog about this," Amus looked up and said to Susan, "Your injuries are very serious, retreat to the base camp first, I will go to Rogge and the others, and I must tell them about this, lest Antonio do it to them!"

After he finished speaking, he got up and left Susan with a few troll warriors, looking for Rogge's whereabouts in the chaos, and suddenly saw Batis attacking with the orc rebels in front, and he hurriedly met him and asked him if he had seen Antonio.

"Just now I saw the Knights of the Humans passing in the direction of the fortress gates, but I didn't see Antonio. Batis said, pointing in the direction of the fortress gates.

"If you see Antonio, be careful!" Amus admonished, turning and running in the direction of the Knights, Batis took a step forward and grabbed him and asked, "Great Chief, what do you mean by that?"
