Chapter 461: Choice
After listening to the black swan's relay, Kriolev did not speak for a long time.
“…………… Is that what the man left me? ”
"That's right, he said it very clearly, whether to say it or not is his business, whether to pass it on or not is my business, and whether to listen or not is your business."
The black swan nodded slightly.
"I see, you go down."
Kriolev let out a long sigh and waved his hand, and the latter saluted, then turned to leave. Kriolev, on the other hand, turned his head and looked out of the tent, a look of pain in his eyes.
Evade......... Is it?
As Herman's most prestigious general, Kriolev, of course, understood that something was wrong with the country. After the death of the previous king, the battle over the succession between Princess Sheila and Prince Patton continued. At the time, he was just silent, but deep down, Kriolev hoped that Prince Patton would grow up to be a worthy king.
But what he didn't expect was that Prince Barton, who couldn't withstand the pressure, chose to join the demons and attack Lisas, and was finally defeated and died.
And in this way, Princess Sheila naturally became the emperor ——— became the puppet of those people.
He remembered that he had met the two of them before, and that they were both very sweet children at that time. But no one could have imagined that it would eventually come to this point. Frankly, Kryorev didn't know if he should do this, he knew some of the inside story of the royal family, and he also knew that the relationship between the Queen Mother Pamela and the Prime Minister Stether was unclear, but as a martial artist, he didn't think he should interfere in political matters.
In Kryolev's opinion, this is just cross-border overreach.
But Duanmu Huai told him that he was just running away.
Perhaps, the man was right, he had been turning a blind eye to this, obeying the orders of the council like a puppet, and I am afraid that he wanted to subconsciously ignore this. But......... Is that really okay?
Isn't this a betrayal of the emperor's expectations?
Does Herman now have to go through destruction in the end?
At one point, Kriolev thought that he should die with the old Herman as a final burial.
But now...............
"Huh?"
Just as Kryolev was hesitating in his heart, he suddenly heard a loud noise outside the tent, which made him frown. And at this time, I saw his adjutant Carl also enter the tent.
"Report to your lordship, the Second Army is coming!"
"So fast?"
Hearing the adjutant's report, Kryoreev was somewhat surprised.
"Who's leading the team? Is it General Aritres? ”
"No, it's ........."
"It's me."
However, before Karl could finish his sentence, he saw a man striding into the tent. It was a short, stocky, blond-haired, bespectacled fat man, and he stared at Kriolev with a sinister smile.
"Hello, General Kriolev, the adjutant of the Second Army, Combat, has come to report with reinforcements from the Second Army, oh yes, there is also the latest directive from the Council."
What's the Council's latest directive?
Hearing this, Kryorev's expression became more solemn, he reached out and took the letter from Khambat's hand, opened it, read it carefully, and then fell silent.
“…………… My lord? ”
As if sensing some ominous premonition in Kryoreev's silence, Karl hurriedly asked, and at that moment Combatt triumphantly answered his question.
"According to the order of the Council, I will be the commander-in-chief of this coalition army next, do you have no objection, General Kriolev?"
"What?!"
Hearing this answer, Carl looked at Combart dumbfounded, and could not have imagined that the Council would give such an order.
After all, Combart was an adjutant, not a general. According to the position, even if there is a change, you can only choose from the generals of the Second Army and the Fifth Army, and it is not the turn of an adjutant of the Second Army to be the commander of the entire coalition army!
But......... Logically speaking, it's different.
Karl knew that Kriolev and the Council had always been at odds with each other, and that with several successive failures in the past few days, it was clear that the Council no longer trusted General Kriolev. Although Combart is an adjutant, but looking at his arrogant appearance, it can be imagined that this guy has definitely made a deal with the Council in private, and if you think about it carefully, after all, among the three corps, the generals of the First Army, the Second Army and the Fifth Army have a bad relationship with the Council, but only this adjutant of the Second Army is regarded as a guy who tends to be attached to the fire and likes to drill camps......... If he were to be in cahoots with the Council, it would not be entirely impossible.
"The Senate was very dissatisfied with the results of the First Army."
Sure enough, Combat quickly got on his toes.
"The Council has asked us to capture the target alive at all costs, and the Council is very disappointed that your 1st Army, with 40,000 men, cannot even take a single Bonn fortress. That's why Prime Minister Stirser has ordered me to command both the First and Second Armies, and to break through the Bonn Fortress before the Iron Giants arrive! ”
Saying this, Combat clenched his fists excitedly.
"This time, I will personally command!"
To put it mildly, Combat is indeed qualified to despise Kriolev.
It is true that the First Legion is the trump card division in Herman's country, but in terms of combat experience, the Second Legion, which has been fighting against the demons on the border all year round, is obviously more abundant. For the Second Army, as long as victory can be achieved, then any means can be tolerated. This is also where Combat disdains Kryolev, he feels that this old stubbornness is too stubborn, and in this era, there is no longer any chivalry and combat rules, as long as you can win!
Soon, early the next morning, Combart launched another attack on the Bonn fortress.
And this time, it was ...............
"It's time for you to see how talented Elsa is today!"
Standing on the city wall, facing the army in front of her, the blonde girl dressed in a luxurious aristocratic costume did not waver in the slightest.
"You don't know how many lifetimes of cultivation you have been able to witness the magic of Lord Ben Elsa——— so let's get started!"
While speaking, I saw Elsa stretch out her hand and take out a crystal chessboard from her backpack and suspend it in the air, and then her palm gently stroked it from above, and the next moment, huge chess pieces suddenly fell from the sky and landed in front of Herman's army, as if they were ready to go in a chess formation!
"Come on, fantasy soldier!!"
With Elsa's order, these soldiers, who were almost as tall as the city wall and holding long swords, suddenly rushed forward and launched an attack on the enemy in front of them!
"W-what the hell is this?!"
Seeing these strange chess pieces, Combart was also surprised, but he soon calmed down and quickly gave the order.
"Quick, attack! Smash these pieces to pieces! ”
With Combat's order, the soldiers of the Herman Legion also drew their long swords and rushed towards the huge chess pieces in front of them. For a while, the two sides were in a mess, and I saw those soldiers' chess pieces raise their long swords high, and then swung them hard, sweeping across the battlefield, and Herman's soldiers also flew up one after another, screaming and flying upside down.
However, just as these Herman soldiers were about to attack, they found a flower in front of them, and then one by one the chess pieces that seemed to be walking fortresses stood in front of them.
"Guard my soldiers, Fantasy Castle!"
Taking another step forward, Elsa raised her hand.
"Summon the soldiers, Mystic Queen!"
“———————!”
With Elsa's order, I saw a chess piece holding a scepter in the rear raise the scepter in his hand, and then, one by one, the chess pieces of fantasy soldiers fell from the sky and fell to the ground, and then they also picked up their weapons and attacked the enemy in front!
"Don't stop, smash me, smash these damn pieces!!"
At this moment, Combart was also angry, but fortunately, although these chess pieces were quite powerful, they were not many in number, and after sacrificing hundreds of people, Herman's army finally defeated most of the chess pieces.
"Bang!!"
As the last piece fell to the ground, shattered and exploded, the obstacle in front of him seemed to have completely disappeared. Seeing this, Combat's eyes were even redder, and he almost saw the hope of victory.
"Very good, give me a —————!!"
"It's stupid."
Looking at the Herman soldiers who rushed over again, Elsa grinned.
"This genius lady's strategy is perfect, you are not an opponent at all, the ultimate king of the King's Landing chessboard! Come here and take the victory! ”
"Boom !!!"
With Elsa's call, a king's pawn wearing a crown, even taller than the Bonn fortress, suddenly fell from the sky and directly blocked Herman's army. At the same time, behind it, dozens of soldiers and knight chess pieces also fell down and entered the battlefield again.
How so?
Looking at the number of chess pieces soldiers than before, Herman soldiers and Combatt were all stunned, they didn't expect that the other party's magic was so weird and so terrifying! You must know that those chess pieces are not easy to deal with, even the Herman Second Legion, which has rich experience in actual combat, spent a lot of effort and losses to wipe out all the previous chess pieces.
But now it seems......... Is that just a prelude?
"In this way, the general!"
Looking at the pale-faced Herman soldier in front of her, Elsa raised her hand proudly.
"Prepare for the final fiasco! In front of the eldest lady today, you don't have the slightest luck to escape! ”
