For the next few days, the rìzi passed as plain water. In order to prevent the front-line army from clashing with the demons without knowing it, the half-orc general Busen set off for the first army of the Tran Fortress to announce the peace will of the King of Light, and Zichuan Xiu specially sent a special messenger to the third army, ordering Ming Yu not to clash with the demons, and to be sure to do a good job of protection, so that the Ling Buxu army can withdraw from the Far East safely and smoothly.

On August 8, Zichuan Xiu received a report that the southwest army of the demon tribe had begun to withdraw from the garrison in accordance with the orders of the kingdom on August 6, and from behind the barbed wire fence of fortifications, fortifications, cities and trenches, demon soldiers were leaving in large numbers.

Ling Buxu, commander of the Southwest Army, officially handed over a note to Ming Yuqiben, commander of the Third Army, stating that he would transit through the border. According to Zi Chuanxiu's instructions in advance, Ming Yu replied that he could consider borrowing the way, but because when the Southwest Army of the Demon Race was marching in the Far East, the Third Army of the Far East had to follow and monitor the whole process - of course, Ming Yu's words were very tactful: "General Ling, we have been dealing with each other for so long and have feelings! As soon as you leave like this, we will be much lonelier, how can you be happy if you don't send them down? At least let us send them to the border!"

Ling Buxu looked at Ming Yu coldly through his reading glasses, his expression was cold, and wrinkles of anger and pain appeared on his forehead. For Ming Yu's smug and ridiculous tone, the demon general had a suppressed anger: "General Ming Yu, I am not Ross, and the Southwest Army is not the Ninth Army under Tran City! Imagine escorting us to the border like Ross, that can't be done!"

"Don't dare. Ming Yu bowed: "The general's prestige is far away, how dare we underestimate it?" Please rest assured that the general has no malicious intentions at all. In order to prevent the roads from being quiet and bandits and thieves to make things difficult for your army, we will escort your army all the way back until we leave the Far Eastern borders. ”

"Thieves and bandits?" Ling Bu lifted his glasses - such a tall and majestic general, with such a short eagle face and such small pinched nose eyes, really made people feel funny. But at the moment, no one dared to laugh. The general of the demon clan exuded a terrifying momentum: "Our army is a regular army of the kingdom, but it can't deal with thieves and bandits?

Ming Yu smiled awkwardly. In fact, what thieves and gangs are are completely pretextual. Zi Chuanxiu was indeed not worried about the demon army on this road, for fear that they would make trouble on the way home, but the main purpose was to fear that those warlike generals would deliberately provoke the demon clan and sabotage the peace agreement that had just been signed. Under the escort of the Third Army, if they attacked Ling Buxu again, it would be equivalent to being an enemy of the King of Light, which would make those militants have some scruples.

He said meaningfully: "General, our Far East has a special national condition, the people are fierce, and our gangs are very powerful, and there will be thousands of them. Sometimes, those bandits are dressed in military uniforms, armed with the most good equipment, and charge and fight like regular troops, which should not be underestimated. ”

Ling Buxu let out an "oh" in surprise and narrowed his narrow eyes. Ming Yu didn't know if he understood what he meant, and continued: "General, let's put it in the way, let your army of more than 100,000 people march uncontrollably in the vital hinterland of the Far East, if you are in the position of His Royal Highness the King of Light, I'm afraid you won't be completely at ease, right? The King of Light has the best good karma for your army, and he definitely doesn't want to destroy the friendly relations between the Far East and the kingdom for the sake of these bandits. The purpose of our operation is entirely for the safe and smooth departure of your army from the Far East, and I think this is also the wish of His Majesty the Divine Emperor, right?"

Since the Demon God Emperor was mentioned, and then thinking of the urgent transfer order, Ling Buxu had to take it seriously. He snorted coldly and said simply: "Those so-called bandits and thieves can't help the regular army, and our army is completely capable of self-defense. But if your army is not at ease, then come along! But please do not get too close to our army, so as not to cause misunderstanding. ”

And so it was settled. Ming Yu's troops opened the way, and the demon army followed, and the two armies marched eastward one after the other, and the army meandered for dozens of kilometers.

After getting Ming Yu's report, Zichuan Xiu let go of the big things in his heart, began to expose the nature of the depraved lazy man, and fell asleep with his head in his hands. When the officers and men of the coalition passed by the tents of the Chinese army, they would hear loud snoring and sleeping, and everyone sighed: "Even the commander-in-chief has begun to be lazy!"

Of course, those hot-blooded factions were still arguing as usual, but they only quarreled, and no one paid attention to them. Moreover, the agreement to surrender was signed, and Ling Buxu withdrew his troops in accordance with the agreement, and peace was a fait accompli, so everyone's clamoring was much less. The situation eased day by day, and even Shirakawa believed that the crisis was over. She withdrew the several squadrons stationed next to Shikawa Xiu who were responsible for security.

On the eve of dawn on August 10 of the year 782, the Gaza camp.

At four o'clock in the morning, a crisp horse's hooves quickly swept over the camp tents, waking up the sleeping Zi Chuanxiu, and then there was an unusual noise and noise from the military camps everywhere, and the footsteps were chaotic. Suddenly, a violent shout erupted from the tent outside, and the voices of countless voices were chaotic, and someone could be vaguely heard shouting: "Hurray!" and someone was shouting: "Traitor!"

"What's going on?" Zichuan Xiu sat up from the bed suddenly, and a thought flashed through his mind: Could it be that the camp was "bombed"?

In the army, the "bombing of the camp" is a very terrible thing: the soldiers have been hovering on the line of life and death for a long time, accumulating quite a lot of negative feelings: fear, hatred, anger, and their pressure is particularly high, because they are bound by strict discipline, these pressures cannot be vented, and they will suddenly explode after a certain amount of accumulation. In the middle of the night, the soldiers suddenly burst into their dreams, let out terrible roars, looked like madness, and even drew their swords and slashed their comrades around them. What's even more terrifying is that the people around are suddenly awakened, and out of panic and ignorance, this crazy behavior is contagious. When it is exaggerated, a sudden roar in the middle of the night may lead the entire army to collapse. All, the armies of the demons and humans are expressly forbidden to make noise behind blowing the trumpet, and the Far Eastern Army formed by Zichuan Xiu's imitation of the Zichuan family is naturally no exception.

Zi Chuanxiu immediately got up from the humble marching bed, and shouted while getting dressed: "Guards, Guards, call the commander on duty tonight, what happened?"

Outside the door, the guards whispered, "My lord, there is a messenger from Tran! ”

"Roger's messenger, could it be that something has happened to the demons?" Zi Chuanxiu said casually, "Got it! Please wait a moment for the messenger, I'll be here soon." ”

The guards hesitated a little: "My lord, the appearance of these messengers is a bit strange, you have to be careful......" Suddenly, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps and the loud sound of weapons and iron armor colliding outside, and the guards suddenly raised their voices: "What are you doing!

A rough voice said, "You don't have to drive the King of Light out, we can just go in ourselves!"

"Bastard, do you know the rules, this is the camp tent of the Chinese army, the trespasser is dead-come on, there are assassins!" followed by the sound of scolding and weapons fighting, and the guards snorted in a muffled voice, apparently wounded.

Hearing this, Shikawa Shu already knew that something was wrong. He had just pulled out the moon knife from under his pillow, and with a "bang", the door of the tent had been kicked open, and countless torches swarmed in like water, and there were many people, and the sharp blades flashed with a metallic cold light in the crowd.

Zi Chuanxiu gasped: "Mutiny!" Not accustomed to this sudden light, he involuntarily squinted his eyes, feeling the figure in front of him shaking, someone pounced on him, he dodged and dodged, a beautiful springing leg, the person who came was kicked upside down and flew out, smashing several people behind him to roll down together. The wind blew in his face, Zichuan Xiu's scabbard was a grid, and the opponent's weapon flew out of his hand. Following the trend, Zi Chuanxiu's scabbard poked a little, touched something soft, and a miserable scream came from the opposite side: "Oops!" At the same time, a fierce elbow hammer in his left hand knocked the sneak attacker who touched him behind and spurted blood.

Out of sight, Zichuan Xiu is like a wild leopard surrounded by wild wolves, fighting back fiercely and sharply. In the midst of lightning and thunder, five or six people fell in front of them. Someone on the other side shouted, "Good skill!" But more people gathered around again, shouting one after another: "Catch him!"

With a clear sound of "rubbing", Zi Chuanxiu drew the knife in his hand, and the snowy blade reflected the light like water, and it was extremely sharp. Zi Chuanxiu, who had a knife in his hand, bowed his head and was silent, cold as a statue, and the crowd immediately quieted down: The King of Light is known as the first sword master in the Far East, and since he has a knife in his hand, no one dares to advance an inch.

The two sides confronted each other, and neither of them spoke. The torches burned silently, making a crackling sound. Zi Chuanxiu's eyes gradually adjusted to the light, in front of him was a group of half-orcs in uniform, several soldiers who had been injured by themselves stood in front, their eyes showed a look of disbelief, countless pairs of hostile eyes stared at him with contempt, and the sword light and sword shadow revealed a solemn murderous aura.

"What are you doing, en?" Zichuan Xiu said in a calm voice, "I am the King of Light, the commander of the Far East, do you know what you are doing?" The jǐng guard troops will arrive soon, you go out now, I can not pursue it!" His voice contained a suppressed anger and majesty, and his flat tone was imposing. Under the prestige, the row of orcs looked frightened and took a few steps back.

An officer stepped out of the crowd, and a familiar voice sounded: "The jǐng guard troops will not come." ”

Zichuan Xiu's pupils narrowed suddenly: "Bran, it's you!" He stared angrily at the orc general: "You staged a mutiny? Why?" He knew that things were tricky, Bran was the commander on duty of the battalion, and the Jǐng guard was in his hands. If he had led the mutiny, there would have been no way for him to escape.

Bran lowered his gaze and did not meet Zichuan Xiu: "I'm sorry, Your Highness." But I didn't start the mutiny, I just followed our leader. ”

"Your leader, who is that?"

"It's me. A faint voice rang out, and the crowd fluctuated, and the orcs parted ways, and a thin figure walked up. The flickering torch shone on his pale face, and a pair of jīng's bright eyes sparkled in the darkness.

Zi Chuanxiu cried out in a lost voice: "Elder Boudin!"

The leaping light of the fire cast a blush on the elder's pale face, and for a moment, the weak figure was above everyone. It was unimaginable that that sick and weak body could release such a strong momentum, completely suppressing Zichuan Xiu's momentum. Around him, one general after another stood up: Ruzo, the leader of the Dwarves, Monroe, the leader of the Dragonmen, and Soth, the leader of the Serpents. These comrades-in-arms who get along with them day and night seem so strange at this moment, and they all have blue faces.

Zichuan Xiu's heart was cold: except for the Xiuzi battalion, all the generals with troops were against themselves. Shirakawa had reported signs of instability in the army, but she had only spoken of the junior officers. It was expected that there might be trouble, and there might be a few local team mutinies, but no one expected that the situation would be so serious, and the rebels would reach the level of the headquarters, and there would be Elder Boudin, the representative of the temple, behind them.

At this moment, Zichuan Xiubian still had time to think: Yun Province is five days away from Gaza, so they have been preparing for at least a week, but he and Bai Chuan are unaware. The secrecy and organization of the rebels were very well done, which was in line with the style of Elder Boudin, who did not move, and once they were launched, they were so swift that they had no room to fight back.

Budan looked at Zi Chuanxiu quietly: "King of Light, I am very sad that you have betrayed my trust in you. ”

Knowing that Elder Boudin was in charge, Zi Chuanxiu was relieved: Elder was not an unreasonable person. What he was most afraid of was encountering a group of rebels who had lost their minds, and they would be hacked to death without opening their mouths. He looked directly at Elder Boudin: "Elder, I don't understand what you mean, I haven't done anything to harm the interests of the Far East!"

"In order to seek glory and wealth, for the position of the governor of the Far East, you betrayed the Far East to the Demon God Emperor!"

"Kill the traitor!" the Serpent Soth shouted, but no one responded. The generals had a look of embarrassment on their faces. Seeing Zi Chuanxiu's murderous eyes, Sos quickly hid behind the person next to him and shouted, "It's none of my business...... I'm here to see the ......."

No matter how loud the insects screamed, they were just insects, and in Zi Chuanxiu's eyes, Sos was not even as good as insects, and even he didn't bother to move his gaze a little over there. From beginning to end, his eyes had been fixed on Elder Boudin, this was the one who could really threaten him, this Temple Elder had great prestige and power, and he was a sick tiger even if he was sick.

He said coldly: "Elder, you accuse me of betraying the Far East, do you want me to commit suicide and apologize? I'm sorry, I will disappoint you: since I have a sword in my hand, I will never be arrested!"

Instead of being angry, Elder Boudin laughed and said to the people around him, "You go out first." ”

Soth screamed, "Elder, don't be alone with him, it's too dangerous! This is a villain, a villain who loves to use violence! He even threatened me with violence! Elder, order him to be killed immediately!"

"Get out!" said the elder's voice with a hint of impatience.

"Yes, Elder!" the generals obeyed the order and went out. Bran hesitated, walked up to Zi Chuanxiu's side and whispered, "Your Highness, calm down, don't be reckless and do stupid things!"

Zi Chuanxiu looked at him, and the half-orc general unconsciously avoided his gaze, lowered his head and went out, and covered up the broken door with his hands. So there were only two people left in the tent, and they looked at each other.

I haven't seen him for more than a year, and the half-orc elder's anger has deteriorated, his pale skin reveals a layer of sallow, and his hair is gray. Shikawa looked at him timidly, expecting a storm to come, and he was ready for the sharpest invectives and all sorts of vicious curses.

"Guangmingxiu, you're frightened, aren't you? I'm very sorry for that. ”

Hearing the elder's gentle voice, Zi Chuanxiu couldn't believe his ears. He looked up, and Boudin was looking at him, and there was no hostility in his bright eyes, "Can you put the knife down?"

"Elder......" Zi Chuanxiu was at a loss: "What do you mean by this?"

Elder Boudan smiled gently, "Guangmingxiu, aren't you worried about a person like me who is sick and dying?"

Zichuan Xiu was stunned for a moment and returned the knife to the scabbard. He smiled wryly, "Honestly, Elder, I don't understand what you're doing. Am I not a traitor to the Far East?"

"I'm not going to be that stupid. Boudin said nonchalantly, and sat down on the mattress of the tent: "In the face of an enemy who has an absolute advantage, I can still tell the difference between reasonable negotiated concessions and betrayal." Although you have also reached an agreement with the demons, and you have also held the official position of the demons, there is a significant difference between your behavior and Lei Hong, and you have won substantial benefits for the Far East, which I can still distinguish. ”

"Then why ......"

"Guangmingxiu, why are you so naïve? If you are not charged with a crime, how can you let me incite your subordinates? Among the charges in the world, is there anything more likely to arouse the anger of the soldiers than the charge of 'traitor'? And for a man who has just signed an armistice with the demons and has become the governor of the Far East of the demons, the accusation of "traitor" is simply made in heaven and is very appropriate. ”

Zi Chuanxiu's face sank, and he said coldly, "I understand." ”

He looked at Boudin with disdain, his teeth chattering. It was obvious that the liberation of the Far East was about to become a reality, and Boudin could not wait to run out of the temple to fight for power and profit, and to remove himself from power by despicable means. He also remembers the calm and calm commander in the defense of the Temple: "I will live and die with the Temple." "In my own impression, Elder Boudin was a noble man, who had the kind of free and extraordinary temperament of a dedicated believer, and the kind of person who was not moved by the material temptations of the world. In less than two years, a person has changed so much? Could it really make Lu Di right, this seemingly innocent Elder Boudan is also a dog that eats bones?

Zi Chuanxiu muttered quietly, "The magic of power can conquer the most holy people. ”

Although he couldn't hear Zichuan Xiu's muttering clearly, he could tell what he was thinking by looking at his expression. Elder Boudin smiled tolerantly, "Don't think so badly of me, I haven't done that yet. The power and glory of the world are meaningless to those who will not die soon. But before the god Audi summons me back to him, there are things I must accomplish—"

"Elder, you ......"

"But right now, Guangmingxiu, you've made a great mistake, and I have to correct it for you!" Budan's tone became stern: "You shouldn't have signed this agreement with the demons!"

"Why, Elder, I have fought for the best interests of the Far East without bloodshed. ”

"Guangmingxiu, when we first met, you said to me: 'If a nation wants to go to zìyóu, it always has to pay a price. 'Now we have paid the price, the sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, the catastrophe of countless civilians. Since we have already given so much, why not roll up our sleeves and carry the war to the end until we win a completely dúlìzìyóu Far East?"

"The Demon God Kingdom is very powerful, they have a vast territory and a large population, and with our strength, it will be difficult to defeat them. Zichuan Xiu said calmly: "Moreover, war is just a means, and the ultimate goal is to rely on war to force the demons to come to the negotiating platform and gain a certain degree of autonomy for the Far East - Elder, isn't this the policy we agreed upon during that meeting?"

"Guangmingxiu, compared to that time, the situation has changed dramatically. At that time, the Far Eastern Coalition had not yet taken shape, and we had a total of only a few thousand troops. But now, our army is strong and strong, a hundred times the strength of the year, recovering the entire Far East, and is at the peak of its strength, and the demons are in the chaos of the civil war - of course, with the current good situation, your credit is huge, but you will miss the golden opportunity, our army is strong and the demons are at a low point, this is a great time to completely destroy them!"

Zi Chuanxiu looked at him in astonishment, and a layer of excitement appeared on Budan's pale face: "Yes! Destroy them! This is not a dream! The powerful Demon Kingdom is on the side, this is the biggest threat to the security of the Far East! In the heyday of the Demon God Kingdom, they have fifteen legions and 1.4 million troops, which is a powerful force that is enough to step us into powder at any time! With this powerful force by the side, no agreement can guarantee the security of the Far East, only the complete destruction of the Demon Race. Disintegration, and only then will there be real peace in the Far East!"

Zi Chuan Xiu defended: "According to the words of Yulin Yun Qianxue, the Demon God Emperor has appointed me as the governor of the Far East, which is tantamount to recognizing the status of the Far East in disguise, right?

"Guangxiu, you are too naïve! What the enemy gives, the enemy can also take back! The Demon God Emperor can appoint you as the governor, and he can also remove you from his post at any time, just wait for the crisis to pass, they can immediately free up their hands to clean us up! Guangxiu, think about it: the Senea Demon Clan has always been arrogant and arrogant, and there is no one in their eyes, and now they are willing to take the initiative to ask us for peace, presumably the domestic war situation is quite unfavorable to them, right?"

Zi Chuan Xiu nodded in agreement, and Budan continued: "Then, we can guess that the Demon God Emperor urgently dispatched the Southwest Army back to China, presumably to reinforce the critical domestic war situation. So, we-"

Elder Boudan waved his hand violently, revealing a resolute and unshakable determination: "We must not let the troops of the Southwest Legion return to China and wipe out all these 100,000 demon soldiers!"

Zichuan Xiu Huoran stood up: "Elder, you are crazy! We have just reached an agreement with the Demon God Kingdom, and we are about to attack the Southwest Legion again? If we do such a treacherous thing, the kingdom's revenge will be quite crazy!"

As for the revenge you mentioned -- Guangxiu, if our action is successful, the Senea tribe may be overthrown, and then they should be busy with how to escape from the Tatar tribe, where will they have the leisure time to retaliate against us?"

"No, no, no!" Zi Chuanxiu shook his head incessantly, his heart like a mess. He acknowledged that Elder Boudin had some point, but only in theory, and in practice it didn't work. The Senea tribe is strong and strong, their soldiers are fierce and good at fighting, and famous generals such as Heisha, Yun Qianxue, Leo, Ling Buxu and others are all commanders who know the art of war and JĪNG general strategy, plus the Demon God Emperor, who is known as invincible in the world, he does not believe that the Tatar rebellion has the possibility of success.

Zi Chuan Xiu persuaded bitterly: "Elder, the Demon God Kingdom is making mistakes now, their own people are fighting to the death in the nest, why should we bother them at this time? The quartermaster has reported to me that it is becoming more and more difficult to find supplies, and that there are already complaints among the people - let the Far East rest for a while, even if it is a year of peace!"

Boudin shook his head: "I know that the common people are suffering, but we can always make do with it, but now we are facing an opportunity that is rare in a thousand years! We are sitting on hundreds of thousands of troops, how can we watch the general trend of the world here? In order to speed up the collapse of the Senea Demon Race, the Far Eastern Alliance can even join forces with Rus, and we will enter the kingdom itself! Only if we assist the Tatar tribe to defeat the Senea tribe, the kingdom will immediately fall into civil strife, and the Far East will win peace for a hundred years!"

"But Elder, who can guarantee that the Tatars will not be worse than the Seneas? Who can guarantee that after Rus comes to power, he will keep his promise......s?

"I may have considered this, but we have to take a gamble! The Tartars are not capable of turning the other cheek against us. Even if they defeated the Senea, they would be narrowly defeated, and their own strength would inevitably be greatly damaged. At this time, it is too late for them to deal with the domestic challengers, where will they have time to use force against the Far East!"

Zi Chuanxiu rubbed his eyes tiredly, he had to realize the fact that Elder Boudin, who had always been gentle and sensible, was actually an extremely hidden extreme fanatic. In the Far East, his persistence has become delusional, and he can no longer distinguish between dream and reality.

"Elder, this qiē is just an estimate. We can't predict what the outcome will be. Pin the fate of the entire Far East on this madness, and if it fails, the entire Far East will fall into a catastrophe! The kingdom's revenge will be quite ferocious!"

"What's the difference? Hasn't the kingdom been attacking us, we've been fighting, and it's nothing great to keep fighting. ”

"Elder, this is completely different!" Zichuan Xiu exclaimed, "So far, the kingdom has not regarded the Far East as an opponent of equal measure. The war in the Far East, which we have tried our best, is nothing more than a civil uprising in a border area in the eyes of the kingdom's top brass, so they have not used the main army to kill us, and there is still room for compromise and negotiation. But if we get involved in the civil war in the kingdom, it touches the most sensitive question of hegemony of the Senea people, and they will definitely use the sharpest legions to destroy us at any cost! Elder, the foundation of the Far East is too thin to withstand this kind of tossing with huge consumption!"

Boudin said lightly: "If my plan succeeds, there will be no war." He lowered his body and said earnestly: "The Southwest Army is a strong force that can fight well, and Ling Buxu is an experienced and excellent general, even if the troops of the entire Far East are gathered, it will not be easy to completely annihilate them." We face a fierce battle. Guangmingxiu, I know that I am not as good as you in commanding a large army to fight, you have experience. If you're willing to command, then we have one more chance of winning. Guangmingxiu, at a time when the Far East is facing such a heavy test, I beg you not to stand idly by. ”

Zichuan Xiu lowered his head and did not make a sound.

Elder Boudan continued: "This is the last battle, as long as the Lingbu Void Legion is eliminated, the Seneya clan will fall, and the war will be over!

"Elder, I don't have that ambition......"

"No, Guangxiu, you have worked hard for the Far East, you have made great contributions, this is what you deserve!" Boudin's eyes showed longing: "A powerful and brand-new Far Eastern kingdom will be created by you, and the bright banner will be waved in the wind." Ah, what a beautiful time it would be! I hope the god of Audi will give me time so that I can live to see that day with my own eyes!

Guangmingxiu, give me a promise, promise me, the great Far Eastern Empire is about to be established, so that I can die blindly!"

Elder Boudin's words were sonorous and persuasive. If it weren't for Zichuan Xiu's already fixed opinion, he might have been convinced. But at this moment, he could only smile bitterly: "Elder, forgive me for not being able to do it." I can't agree with your point of view. ”

Elder Boudan stared deeply at Zi Chuan Xiu and said lightly, "Oh, is it?" The flush of excitement had disappeared from his face, and his disappointment was on his expression. He stood up and signaled that the conversation was about to end: "Guangmingxiu, now none of us can convince anyone. Let history prove who is right, and I firmly believe that my decision was not wrong. ”

Zichuan Xiu also stood up: "Elder, you can stick to your own point of view. But you don't have the right to push the entire Far East into such a dangerous situation, and the Far East cannot be used as a gambling chip for people's whims, no matter who that person is!

"Oh?" Elder Budan looked at Zi Chuan Xiu with a smile, "How are you going to stop me, Guang Guang Xiu, with your 400,000 army, or with your private armed Xiuzi battalion?" he showed a slight sarcasm: the generals of the Far Eastern faction were all on his side, the army fell into his hands, and Zi Chuan Xiu was isolated but said that he wanted to stop himself, which was tantamount to a fool's dream.

Zi Chuanxiu flicked his wrist, and the moon washing knife miraculously appeared in his hand, and he dexterously played a knife flower, and in an instant, the bright knife light poured like flowing water.

He said in a deep voice: "Soth has already said just now, I, Shichuan Xiu, am a villain who loves to use violence. Elder, if you don't promise me to give up this idea, I'm sorry, I won't let you out alive!"

The knife was not raised, but the pressing sword aura had already enveloped Boudin. Zi Chuan Xiu felt it very clearly, the rebel officers and soldiers outside were chatting idly, and they hadn't noticed anything unusual here. If Boudin made any moves, he was sure to kill him before outsiders intervened.

Elder Boudin smiled, "Kill me, will the army let you go?" he smiled kindly, but his gaze was as sharp as a blade. Although unarmed, Elder Boudin possesses an iron will that is more formidable than a physical weapon. For some reason, the moon washing knife in Zichuan Xiu's hand did not bring him any sense of superiority, he had a deep fear of this powerless sick man, although the other party had fallen into his grasp, he had a strange feeling that it was the other party who took the initiative.

The whole body collapsed tightly, and Zi Chuanxiu said word by word: "Elder, you are the source of the army's mutiny. Without you, I believe it would not be difficult to regain control of the army! Elder, give me a promise to give up this crazy thought, as if this qiē had not happened. How about I resign and apologize for my rudeness to you today and put the army in your hands?"

Looking at him quietly, Boudin's sharp gaze gradually softened, and he said gently: "Guangmingxiu, you are a person without ambition. But, a qiē has long been doomed, you will become the king of the Far East, that is what fate is destined to get you, and no one can snatch it. And I should be a paving stone for the birth of a new Far East!" he turned and walked out of the tent door.

Zichuan Xiu's pupils shrank, and the hand holding the knife suddenly forced: "Elder, please stop: this is the last jǐng to sue!"

"It's useless. Boudin's voice was still serene: "The order was sent three days ago, and at this time, the Third Army should start attacking Ling Buxu." Guangmingxiu, even if you kill me, it's pointless. ”

Suddenly receiving such a blow, Zichuan Xiu was stunned all of a sudden. He exclaimed, "What did you say!" but after a while, the elder had already gone out. He froze for a moment and chased himself out. But he saw that surrounded by a group of high-ranking generals from the Far East, Boudin was striding away. A group of half-orc soldiers gathered at the edge of the Chinese tent, looking at themselves with timidity.

Facing Elder Boudin's back, Zichuan Xiu yelled like a madman: "Boudin, you are a madman! You are dragging the Far East into hell! You are responsible for this!"

Boudin's figure paused, but did not turn back, and his figure gradually merged into the group of orc soldiers. The shouts annoyed the rebel soldiers, who rushed around them, only to be stopped by a voice: "Stop!"

General Bran hurried over, and he shouted to the group of orcs: "The following offenders are rude to Your Highness, do you want to seek death?

The group of soldiers was so frightened that they scattered and ran away. Zi Chuanxiu squinted at Bran: "The following people who have committed rudeness to me are not the only ones tonight!"

The half-orc smiled bitterly and saluted Zichuan Xiu: "Your Highness, I'm sorry. I know it's unfair to you, but as Zoe warriors, there's no way we're going to resist the Temple!"

Shikawa Xiu looked at the orc and understood that he was telling the truth. The Gotha Village in Yun Province has always been the guardian of the Far Eastern Temple, and the warrior Bran from the Gotha Village has a deep-rooted belief in the Temple, and the head of the Temple, Elder Budan, directly ordered him, and he really couldn't resist it.

However, this does not excuse a big mistake.

"Tear up the agreement that has just been signed, and push the whole Far East into the flames of war—then, do you think the Elder is doing the right thing?" Shikawa Xiu looked at the orc, feeling his gaze that was like substance, and the battle-hardened warrior uneasily avoided his gaze, and said, "I don't know. ”

As if he was afraid to continue to stay with Shikawa Xiu, he saluted Shikawa Xiu and hurriedly walked away.

By this time, the camp was already in disarray. Shocking, people who have not experienced this scene can never imagine what kind of situation this is, the orderly troops during the day, at this moment, there is no order. In the passage between the camp tents, countless soldiers gathered into a flow of people, and then the various streams of people gathered on the school field in the middle of the barracks like a river flowing into the sea. The crowd crowded with each other and pushed each other. The soldiers, dressed only in their underwear, were woken up from their tents and staggered into the crowd, where thousands of people gathered, shouting, walking, and jumping, and no one knew what was happening. Countless voices were asking at the same time, "What happened?"

"Could it be that the demons are calling?"

Suddenly, a thunderous roar swept over the crowd, and it was the rebels who had been arranged in the crowd to shout: "The King of Light has betrayed the Far East!"

"The King of Light has shielded the Demon Governor Lu Di, the murderer of the Sharo Massacre, the butcher who killed our wives and children!"

"His Highness has abandoned us, he colluded with Yun Qianxue of the Demon Clan and betrayed the Far East to Yun Qianxue!"

The army is like the ocean, when the wind and waves are calm, the sea surface is not alarmed, at this time, it is easy to create a kind of illusion to the commander, thinking that he can control the sea, thinking that he can cāo vertical the ocean, but suddenly, there is a strong wind and waves, the sea shows its hideous face, the evil waves pierce the air, the huge waves crash on the shore, destroy the restraint of a qiē, and blow the controller to pieces. Hearing the rumors, the entire army boiled, and the anger and fury that had been suppressed by Zichuan Xiu in the army finally broke out, and in the firelight, it could be seen that countless people raised their weapons high, and flames appeared in their eyes, which was like a turbulent, roaring, and imposing sea of heads, a sword and sword shadow.

The officers were horrified, they themselves started a mutiny, but they did not know how to calm the soldiers.

At this time, Elder Boudin appeared. He walked out into the crowd alone, aloof and arrogant. Beside him, people brandished all kinds of weapons, and their mouths spat out unbearable curses. But Boudin went on silently, indifferently towards the center of the crowd, and from time to time pushed away the soldiers who stood in his way, as indifferent as if pushing an inanimate object. His self-confidence and calmness shocked the soldiers who had lost their minds, and someone recognized him: "Elder Boudin! Elder of the Temple!

"The Elder is our own man! He is here to save us!"

"Long live the Elders! Long live the Temple!"

People need an object to rely on, and when an idol is overthrown, there is an urgent need for another God. So Elder Boudin, who had the prestige and appeared at the right time, became the savior of the soldiers. Looking at Elder Boudin's back, Zi Chuanxiu had to admit that he was far from being able to compare with Boudan in terms of prestige or demagoguery and incitement. He immediately brought the dangerous situation under control, and immediately became the center of attention. He has that kind of temperament, a leader style that may not be one out of ten thousand, and he is a natural military leader, but it is a pity that his sick and weak body limits him.

Zichuan Xiu faintly had a thought: "Whose misfortune is it that such a character lives in the Far East of the same era as himself?"

In the distance, Elder Boudin was speaking to the army, and his voice was too far away to be heard, and Shikawa only faintly heard a few words: "traitor in a high position", "betrayal", "betrayal", "great cause". The soldiers gathered there let out a thunderous roar: "Long live the Elders, long live the Temple!"

Someone shouted in a sharp voice: "Let the people of the Far East decide the fate of the Far East, and let the troops of the Far East command the people of the Far East! Mankind get out of the Far East!"

"Down with the traitors!"

Zichuan Xiu stared blankly at this qiē happening in front of his eyes, as if he had fallen into the most terrifying dream, he could not take any action, the situation was like the boulder rolling down from the top of the mountain, if anyone wanted to stop it, he was doomed to be crushed, and he could only watch the fanatical soldiers are heading towards blind madness, and the military power in his hands is being seized by others.

He suddenly realized that he was in danger: although the elder had no intention of harming him, the fanatical fervor of the army could not be controlled. The soldiers are hot-headed, and a few more instigations from Soth and the like, if they think of killing "traitors and traitors in high positions", it will be troublesome.

He immediately ran to the stable, found his mount, hurriedly turned on his horse, and sank into the darkness between the tents.

The rebels did not arrange for a large group of men to guard the gate, and only a few orc infantry were hanging around at the gate. Seeing a man and a horse rushing in the dark, the infantry hurriedly shouted, "Dismount! Stop and check the pass!" They hurriedly pulled up the jǐng guard pole that was forbidden to pass.

Shikawa Xiu wanted to reveal his identity, but it was unclear whether these soldiers belonged to the rebels, and he decided not to take the risk. He clamped his feet between the belly of the horse, and jumped out violently, with a loud "bang", and the infantry could not figure out what was going on, he had already broken the wooden fence with men and horses, and rushed out of a hundred meters like a gust of wind. He had just left the barracks less than 500 meters when an earth-shattering uproar suddenly sounded behind him: "Oh no! The King of Light has run away!"

"Catch the traitor! He's there!"

Zi Chuanxiu stood up and turned around, only to see a large group of torches gushing out of the camp gate, and the voices of people were boiling, and bright flashes of weapons could be seen in the firelight. Knowing that Bran and other rational generals had lost control of the army, he immediately whipped his horse and galloped fast, followed by a long string of torches, and the shouts kept coming: "Catch him! Don't let the traitor escape!"

In the darkness of the night, Zi Chuanxiu rushed away, and the large group of cavalry behind was chasing, in the silence, in the quiet and starry night, the fleeing and chasing people rushed like arrows through the still woods and the dark houses on both sides, the dense crisp hoofs echoed in the empty streets in the early morning, the sleeping residents were awakened by the noise, the windows on both sides of the street lit up one after another, and someone looked through the windows. No one knew that on this night as calm as water, the most powerful man in the Far East had been overthrown, and the mighty King of Light was being chased by his men and fled.

Zichuan Xiu's mount was a horse picked out by Jīng, and he quickly threw his pursuers far away. It was only when luck was bad that he turned a street corner and was confronted by a group of snake archers. Zi Chuanxiu realized that he was taking a fork in the road, because he was not familiar with the terrain, he panicked in the dark, which was equivalent to going around the barracks, and happened to run into another team of people coming out of the back door of the camp. In a hurry, they met on a narrow road, which was a surprise for both parties, and when they saw their own boss, the legendary King of Light with three heads and six arms, the snake soldiers were obviously panicked.

Zichuan Xiu restrained his horse and gave the group of snake soldiers a deep look. Immediately, the queue of snake soldiers panicked, and the soldiers opposite Zichuan Xiu retreated in panic, and the whole team was in a mess.

"Get out of the way!" Zi Chuanxiu screamed, rushed forward like a war horse under his crotch, sprinted through the gap in the queue, passed through the queue of snake soldiers, and suddenly jumped onto the street as if he had entered a no-man's land. He ran out of dozens of meters in one go, and the empty command of the snake clan officer came from behind him: "The whole team has it: aim!"

Hearing the sound of the password, Zi Chuanxiu's whole body tensed tightly, leaned over and pressed low, stabbed the horse's abdomen violently, the war horse was in pain and neighed, and ran like flying on the ground.

"Put!"

The sharp sound of the wind in the ears was continuous, and the overwhelming arrows passed by with a terrible sound of the wind, and the powerful arrows pierced the windows and doors of the houses on the street like broken paper, and the screams of the residents and the screams of the women were heard from the houses. They actually dared to release arrows in such a dense residential area! Before Zi Chuanxiu could get angry, he only felt that his calf was suddenly touched by something, and then there was a hot pain in his heart. I don't know if it was his luck or if this team of snake soldiers deliberately released water, he actually survived this round of arrows!

The Serpent Soldier screamed, "The King of Light is here!

He didn't bother to check the wound, Zi Chuanxiu urged the horse vigorously, throwing away the noise behind him, and his chest was full of anger, and he was angry: tonight's encounter was simply a shame in his life, and the commander of the Far East was actually chased by his own subordinates so unbearable! Back then, in order to search for himself and alarm the entire Demon Kingdom, the Demon God Emperor personally ordered and mobilized a million troops, how those Demon Clan officers and soldiers trembled and feared themselves - but now, a few unpopular snake soldiers dared to shout in front of him: "The King of Light has run away!" The voice pierced his dignity like a red-hot iron, and made him feel a deep humiliation.

Zichuan Xiu painfully found that all the efforts he had made so far had been shattered. He had painstakingly created discipline, prestige, and order for the Far Eastern army, and worked hard to turn a scattered peasant armed force into a regular national defense force capable of fighting well and with strict discipline. But when another powerful figure, Elder Boudin, appeared, this qiē effort collapsed like a fortress built on the sand.

In the dark, he didn't know the direction anymore, just let the war horse run vigorously, turning left and right in the dark city alleys of Shajia. I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there was the light of a torch and the sound of people in front of me. Zichuan Xiuyi was startled and wanted to turn the horse's head, but it was too late, the torch rushed towards him, and in a blink of an eye, it was already in front of him.

Zi Chuanxiu pulled out his knife and opened his eyebrows angrily: "The King of Light is here, if you are not afraid of death, come!"

"My lord, it's us!" A delicate female voice came to the wind, and Zi Chuan Xiu was surprised: "Bai Chuan!"

The heroic female knight emerged from the darkness, and when she saw Zichuan Xiu, Shirakawa suddenly jumped off the horse and hurried up to meet her: "My lord, you're okay, that's great!" Shirakawa's voice was crying, the girl's eyes flashed, and somehow, Zichuan Xiu's heart swelled with a warm current of emotion.

Zi Chuanxiu turned over and dismounted. He saw that behind Shirakawa there were also large groups of soldiers and horses, all of whom were human officers and soldiers.

"My lord, I heard from them that there was a bit of chaos in the Chinese army camp? Let's come over and see, there are chaotic soldiers everywhere along the way, what happened?"

"It's not as simple as a rebellion-" Zichuan Xiu's voice was very low, and only Shirakawa could hear it: "The army of the big battalion has mutinied!"

"Huh?!" Shirakawa's face turned pale all of a sudden. Mutiny, which was the most feared nightmare of all commanders, came so unprepared at this moment.

"How so?" Shirakawa muttered in shock. She suddenly exclaimed, "My lord, you are bleeding!"

Following her gaze, Zichuan Xiucai noticed that the red water at her feet had accumulated in a puddle of water. Only then did he feel a hot pain in his calves, a sticky stream of heat was flowing down, and he walked with red footprints step by step, which was shocking. He frowned, "It's nothing, I'm a little injured." He moved his feet and smiled easily: "If you can still stand up, it should be a flesh injury, it doesn't matter." ”

Bai Chuan was very angry: "My lord, the rebels dare to do something to you!? I don't know whether they are alive or dead! We immediately dispatched to destroy them!"

Zichuan Xiu asked, "Is the station of the Xiuzi camp peaceful?"

"Our army's battalion is normal, I have ordered a jǐng ring, and I can dispatch immediately!"

Zichuan Xiu's heart is certain. At this time, the Xiuzi Battalion stationed in the northwest of the city was his last trump card.

The sky glowed with pale red and gold, and dawn was coming. Escorted by the soldiers of the Xiuzi battalion, Zichuan Xiu arrived at the military camp in the west of the city, where three brigades of the Xiuzi battalion were stationed, with a strength of nearly 4,000 people. In addition, Rudi and his men also followed the human army. They were lucky to have escaped: if Lu Di had been in the Chinese camp tonight, he would have been torn to shreds by the angry Far Eastern soldiers.

Ever since entering the camp, Shikawa Xiu has kept a calm face and pursed his lips silently. Shirakawa called a military doctor to bandage Shikawa's wounds. The officers gathered around the camp and talked a lot. When they learned that Zichuan Xiu was injured by his subordinates, the officers were so angry that their faces were crooked: "They dare to commit a crime!"

"Ungrateful bastards, give the order to attack at once and wipe out all the rebels!"

Shirakawa took a step forward with the sword in her hand, and she said firmly, "My lord, please believe in the loyalty of the Xiuzi Battalion. We're not like those ragtags!"

Zi Chuanxiu smiled bitterly: "I believe in your loyalty, but there are not so many people." He stood up, limped two steps, and whispered to Shirakawa, "At least fifty thousand Far Eastern troops are involved in this rebellion. ”

"Huh?" Bai Chuan was shocked, she didn't expect things to come to such a point: "That means ......"

"That's right. Zichuan Xiu stared at her: "Except for the Xiuzi battalion, all the troops in Gaza City are involved - no, maybe ......more" He thought of Elder Boudin's words and hesitated to say, "The Third Army may also be involved." ”

Bai Chuan said in a categorical tone: "My lord, I dare to guarantee with my net worth, Ming Yu will never be disloyal to my adult!"

"I believe in Ming Yu, but the matter is no longer under his control. He probably lost his zìyóu, either killed or placed under house arrest, as happened to me tonight. ”

Suffering this sudden blow, Shirakawa was stunned for a moment. Her eyes were blank and she said hollowly, "How could this be! I thought the war was finally over." How could this be!"

Zi Chuan Xiu looked at the window silently, his fists clenched and gurgling: "Boudin, he launched a mutiny." ”

Fearing that the superior rebels would attack the Xiuzi camp garrison, Shirakawa ordered the garrison to enter the jǐng ring, and the soldiers patrolled the perimeter of the camp in full gear, with teams of armor swaying back and forth glistening in the morning light like waves.

But the night passed without incident. The mutinous Far Eastern forces occupied most of Gaza City, and the northwest corner of the city was occupied by human forces loyal to the King of Light. The two sides faced off only two blocks apart, but they were uneventful. Only minor embellishments took place: a few drunken orcs ran to demand that the Xiuzi battalion hand over the "traitor King of Light in the Far East", and their fate can be imagined: half of Gaza City could hear their ghosts crying wolf, and finally Zichuan Xiu came out and ordered them to be released.

At dawn, trumpets echoed in the city. The scouts came back to report that the mutinous teams were moving out of Gaza City in an orderly manner. Officers came to ask for battle and demanded an interception attack on the rebels.

Zichuan Xiu hesitated again and again, but finally did not give the order. He was uneasy, because of Elder Boudin's firm attitude, and he also wavered in his position: so many people are against it, am I really wrong? Is it really what Elder Boudin said, that there is only a way out if you fight to the death?

When he hesitated, he called someone to call Lu Di.

Seeing Zi Chuan Xiu coming back covered in blood, Lu Di's face was even whiter than Zi Chuan Xiu, as if he was the one who was injured. He understood that once his greatest protector, the King of Light, fell, his life would be over. As soon as he saw Zi Chuanxiu, he immediately took the initiative to ask for battle: "Your Highness, please give an order, I will kill him with my own hands!"

The corners of Zi Chuanxiu's mouth twitched, and she smiled silently. At this time, if he said that he did not regret it at all, it would be bragging, why did he not accept Lu Di's construction in the first place? If this result could have been expected at that time, he would never have hesitated. How simple it is to send a force of cronies to Yun Province for a trip. Although Boudin is highly respected and has a lot of knowledge and kindness to himself, compared with the fate of tens of millions of people in the Far East, one person's life is too small.

He got straight to the point: "The civil war of the demons has begun. The Tatars rebelled against the Seneya. Rudi, which side do you like about this war, and is there any chance that the Duke of Ross will be victorious?"

Lu Di replied without hesitation: "The Tatar tribe has no hope at all! Your Highness, I myself am an officer from Senea, within the kingdom, the Senaya clan is known as the 'strongest soldier in the world', among the fifteen legions of the kingdom, there are seven armies belonging to the Seneaya clan, and only two belong to the Tatar clan, and the soldiers of our clan have strong combat effectiveness, strict discipline, hardship and tenacity, these characteristics are far beyond the comparison of other tribes - Rus rebelled, he is definitely a mantis arm!"

Zi Chuanxiu muttered: "What if the Tatars get foreign assistance? For example, the Far East sends troops to help the Tatars fight ......."

Emperor Lu was shocked: "Your Highness, that's looking for your own death! The Imperial War absolutely prohibits foreign interference, except for the two tribes participating in the war, other tribes must not intervene - this is the reason, so the Tatars can still support until now - let alone foreign forces! Once the Far East comes to the aid of the Tatars, it will be regarded as a provocation to the entire Protoss, and those tribes and legions that have been watching until now will join the war one after another, and they will stand on the side of the Seneaya and kill us all!"

Your Highness, the Protoss will take revenge, let alone such a big invasion? At that time, there will not even be a single intact tile left in the Far East! Your Highness, don't do such a stupid thing!"

Zichuan Xiu whispered, "I see." ”

Sending Lu Di away, his brows were deeply inscribed, the current situation is not a question of whether he wants to do it or not, but that Elder Boudin has seized military power, and the shape is no longer under his control.

Shirakawa, who was waiting by the door, came in and asked, "My lord, the contacts sent to contact the officers have all returned." ”

Zi Chuan Xiu Huo Ran turned around: "What do they say?" Although he has lost control of the command, but for those middle-level team leaders, Zi Chuan Xiu still has hope, after all, they are officers who have been raised by themselves, and many of them have been their own students and comrades-in-arms who have experienced hardships together, especially the half-orcs of Bulu Village who have saved their lives, and many of them are in positions where they have the power of the grassroots soldiers. If they and the troops under their command can be won over, things can still be done.

But the facts let him down again. Bai Chuan lowered his head and said, "The officers are very hesitant, they say that they can't help themselves, that Elder Boudin has a strict control over the army, that the army supports him very much, and that he must also take into account the situation of his subordinate soldiers, or that the situation is very chaotic, and wait until they see the situation clearly before acting - in short, everyone is vague. ”

Zi Chuanxiu slammed the table hard: "These are all excuses! They don't dare to break with Boudin - or they themselves support the rebellion! Damn, I should have thought of this earlier, why we didn't hear any news before the rebellion!"

"Loyalty, it's not that there isn't. Born in Bulu Village, the current leader of the 6th Cavalry Regiment, Commander Dekun is very determined, and he is willing to defend the King of Light to the death. As long as His Highness gave him an order, he immediately threw himself over with the Sixth Cavalry Regiment, and several other half-orc officers from Bulu Village also said that without His Highness, there would be no us today, and the heroes of Bulu Village will never be ungrateful, just wait for His Highness to give them an order, and they will immediately raise their banners against Boudan and set things right!"

Zi Chuanxiu's eyes lit up, and then dimmed again: "The wind knows the strong grass, and the danger sees the hearts of the people." It's a pity that the number of Dekun is too small, and the sixth cavalry regiment is less than 3,000 people, so it can't play a role. If there was a conflict, Boudin would be able to get rid of them all in five minutes. Shirakawa, send someone to inform them: do not reveal your opinion, and wait for my further orders. ”

"Understood, sir. Bai Chuan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then what should we do next?" Suddenly faced with such a big change, her eyes showed a rare hesitation and weakness.

Zichuan Xiu said while thinking: "We don't have to have any hope for the base camp and the second army, they are too deeply bewitched by Boudin. Our only hope is for those garrisons and troops outside, take my warrant, and send an urgent messenger to Roger of the First Army and Ming Yu of the Third Army, ordering that Ming Yu and Roger must not hand over their military power without my personal presence. Moreover, without the consent of my warrant, no troops or officers are to take the initiative to provoke the demons - this order is urgent, and send a special escort messenger to the past. ”

As Shirakawa said so, Shirakawa quickly took notes. Zi Chuanxiu hurriedly signed his name on the warrant. Watching Shirakawa hurry out, Zichuan Xiu's eyes were full of worry, he remembered Boudin's words, and muttered, "I hope it's too late." ”
