Chapter 463: Determination
In the end, the battle at Combat ended in failure, and with the loss of thousands of soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Legions, he fled straight back to the camp in disgrace.
It's not going to be able to fight at all!
Combat's face darkened, and now he finally understood why Kriolev could not take the Bonn fortress. When Khambatt first learned the news, he thought the same as the council, thinking that Kriolev was just passively avoiding the battle, and as long as he went out and sacrificed some soldiers, he could be captured......... Well, that doesn't seem to be the case at all now.
Now what?
Kang Ba was in a hurry, and he had patted his chest and gave the council a package ticket. No one thought it would be like this.
However, there is no need for Kryolev to think about this matter, after all, the council has removed him from his post, and now he can be regarded as having nothing to do.
However, he didn't want to find trouble, but things came to him.
"Your Excellency."
Just as Kriolev was about to go to rest, his adjutant Karl found him.
"I have received a letter from Lord Rolex, the General of the Fifth Army."
"Go show it to Combart, it's useless to show me now."
Kriolev shook his head, there was always news from the Fifth Legion, but unfortunately it was too late now.
This time, however, Karl did not follow Kriolev's orders and handed over the letter.
"I think you'd better take a look."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
Looking at the serious expressions of his subordinates, Kriolev also turned around, took the letter, read it carefully, and then his expression changed slightly.
ββ¦β¦β¦ Have you read the letter? β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
Karl didn't speak, just nodded, and Kriolev sighed.
"The Fifth Legion also chose King Qin......... It seems that we have run out of options. β
"Your Excellency, General."
Karl stepped forward, came to Kriolev, and whispered.
"What are you waiting for? Haven't you seen what the Council is doing? There's simply no room for us to play here! Why the Council wants Combat to be the commander-in-chief, you can't possibly not guess! In this case, there is no point in us staying here any longer! β
"I know."
Kryolev nodded slightly, as if he had already made a decision.
"Well, that's it......... Let's go, get out of here, but .........."
As he spoke, Kryolev turned his head and looked into the distance.
But one day, we'll be back.
For a whole night, there was nothing to be done, and it was not until dawn that a soldier hurried into his tent.
"Report to your Excellency! Oh no! Oh no! β
"What's wrong, make it clear!"
Hearing the other party's gibberish, Combart waited for his bloodshot eyes and looked at each other viciously. He has been thinking about how to take the Bonn Fortress, but he has never thought of any good way, the other party's actions are completely unexpected by him, and he doesn't even know what else he will encounter if he goes again this time!
And right now, there are still people who are bothering him!
"What the hell is going on?"
Could it be that the bunch of guys in the Bonn fortress fought out?
"First, the First Legion is gone!!"
βοΌοΌ What??? β
Hearing the herald's answer, Combart looked at him with a bewildered expression, completely unable to believe his ears.
"What do you say? What happened to the First Legion? β
"The First Legion is gone! They left the camp! Whereabouts unknown! β
"How is this possible!"
At this moment, Combat jumped up directly in anger.
"What the hell is this old fool doing with Kriolev? Didn't he know that this would anger the Council? No, I don't believe it, take me to see it!! β
As he spoke, Combart rushed out of the tent on his short legs, and when he came to the camp of the First Legion, he saw that the tents were still there, and there seemed to be nothing unusual on the surface. However, when he stormed the tent, he found that there was nothing insideβββ except for a few things that were too bulky to take away, the First Legion had taken almost everything they could.
"He, how dare they !!"
Combat's face turned red with anger, and he glared at his subordinates viciously.
"Are you all idiots?! Didn't you find out about such a big thing as the transfer of the First Legion? β
"This ......... The First Regiment was previously transferred under the guise of night patrols, and we don't know ........."
The subordinates who were scolded by Combat were also speechless, their Second Legion had just arrived here, and they didn't know the situation here at all. Seeing the First Legion moving before, they naturally went to inquire, but the other party told them that it was just a normal patrol and vigilance, although there were a few people leaving the First Legion, but they didn't particularly care.
It wasn't until after dawn in the morning that someone noticed that the camp of the First Regiment was not normal, ran to see the situation, and then immediately reported the matter.
No need to ask, it must be late.
People have long since slipped away in the night.
"Go chase them back at once, where have they gone?"
"This ............... Judging by the traces, their destination is......... Bonn Fortress. β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
Hearing this, Combat was suddenly startled and turned his head to look at the fortress in the distance. There was calm at the moment, and there was no sign of fighting at all, that is...............
Did the First Legion defect to the enemy?
Thinking of this, Combat only felt that it was dark in front of him, and then he fell directly to the ground and fell unconscious.
"My lord! My lord!!! β
While the soldiers of the 2nd Army were busy around Kangbat, in the Bonn fortress, Kriolev finally met with Duanmuhuai.
"I don't think these ladies seem to be very welcoming to me."
Looking at the graduates of the Manalia School Park standing not far behind Duanmu Huai, Kriolev smiled, and Duanmu Huai just glanced at them and shook his head.
"You don't have to worry, it's not a big deal, they just feel that they have lost the opportunity to graduate and are a little unhappy."
"Graduation......... Assess? β
Hearing this, Kriolev was stunned for a moment, but soon he skimmed over the question very wisely, and his intuition told Kriolev not to delve into the problem in this matter, it was good for his heart.
"Well, I'm here to see for myself what you're talking about."
"That's just right."
Duanmu Huai didn't care, just nodded slightly.
"Since you're going to see it, I'll take you to see it with your own eyes..............."
Because the First Legion had defected, Duanmu Huai didn't play any more mysterious tricks, and directly summoned a Valkyrie gunboat. When he saw this huge iron bird appear from the sky and land in the Bonn fortress, General Kriolev also nodded in realization.
"I see, that's how you raided and captured the fortress of Bonn."
Kriolev had been puzzled before, how the Inquisition had quietly captured the entire Bonn fortress without any trace, and now ......... He finally knew.
"Come with me, and I'll show you what you want."
Soon, Kriolev and the generals of the First Legion, led by Duanmu Huai, boarded the Valkyrie gunboat, and then flew into the air.
"Where are you taking us?"
Although he was very interested in this iron bird that could fly in the air, Kryorev was more concerned about Herman's fate at the moment.
For his question, Duanmu Huai also gave an answer.
"Today, the Fourth Legion will launch an assault on the city of Rozes, freeing it from the Council, and I will take you to Rozes now."
It didn't take long for the Valkyrie gunboats to arrive in the skies above the city of Rozes, and at this moment the battle had begun, and the Fourth Legion was fighting with the garrison of Rozes City for control of the city gates. Kryolev also overlooked the entire battlefield from the sky.
From the veteran's point of view, there was nothing brilliant about the command of the Fourth Army Corps, that is, it fought steadily and in accordance with the rules, although it did not make mistakes, but it was not particularly exciting. If you want to say it, the fighting spirit of the Fourth Army looks very high, and it looks like it has been beaten with blood.
Soon, Kriolev saw another army suddenly appear in the city, and took advantage of the garrison to resist the foreign enemy, directly backstabbing the opponent, and took the city gate in the blink of an eye.
Such a bold method of warfare can only be done by the Fifth Legion.
After taking the city gate, there was basically no suspense, the fourth army and the fifth army converged, fighting together and attacking inside, and the garrison army was even more demoralized, basically in a state of escape with the loss of armor.
"Alright, let's go down."
Duanmu Huai gave the order, and then the Valkyrie gunboat fell behind the battlefield, and then, Duanmu Huai took Kryolev and others down the gunboat and came to the battlefield.
The fighting is over, the streets are littered with corpses and blood, and the wounded are being sent to the rear for rescue. A group of people looked left and right under the leadership of Duanmu Huai, and always felt a little strange.
"What's going on?"
Looking at the battlefield in front of him, Kriolev frowned.
As a veteran, he could naturally sense that something seemed wrong on this battlefield.
How so......... That's a little too orderly!
Generally speaking, after the battle, in addition to treating wounds and recovering, soldiers will go to raid houses and houses, although the generals also repeat their orders, but there are always people who do not listen. But nothing like this seems to be happening here, and Kriolev even saw some soldiers wearing the armor of the Fourth Legion, helping the civilians who had been caught up in the fighting!
The Fourth Legion?
Why would they do it?
"I know what you're thinking, General Kriolev."
Glancing at the old man, Duanmu Huai smiled.
"I promise you, you'll get the answer."
