This time, his expression also changed, and when he looked up, he saw that his commander was staring at Ran Ji with a blazing eye, and the officer's heart was horizontal, and he immediately understood, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he was about to answer......

"My lord, an army under the banner of Byzantium is coming towards us!

A thousand miles away!"

A sudden report from the front immediately dispelled the last trace of thought in Gislent's heart

Finish.

He frowned, looked into the distance, and saw that at the end of the street in the distance, there was indeed a Byzantine army coming slowly, and the whole army was murderous and vigilant!

The two sides were almost close to making contact with JL before the other side waved the flag.

A black horse slowly walked up, and immediately a burly figure was heard, and in the distance, a hoarse and familiar voice was heard.

"The Byzantine Empire Adric is here, the Lantis allies in front, where is the leader

A?

When Gislent heard this, he sighed in his heart: It's a pity...... Why did this guy come here in such a hurry, hey, I missed the opportunity. ”

He immediately perked up and strode up, laughing loudly: "Adric, you guy, you are really not dead!"

After speaking, he whispered to the subordinate next to him who was already murderous, sighed lightly, and said with a smile: "That's it, if you miss the opportunity, you miss it, I didn't expect this scarface to come so quickly...... Hey, hey, hey, ”

Shaking his head, Gislent had already stepped out of the crowd and strode to the front of the line.

At this moment, on the wide field outside the palace, the army of the Landis was at the intersection of a street, in a tight formation, and across the wide field, it was the Byzantine army.

Adric sat on top of the war horse, he had already been seriously injured, and he had been suffering for days, but he was afraid that he had squeezed out the last trace of energy in his body. Although Landis's reinforcements, who had been waiting for many days, arrived, Adric's expression and eyes at the moment were more nervous and solemn than the day before yesterday!

Although his eyes were black due to many injuries and tortures on his body, at this moment, he was still sitting proudly on horseback, and even his waist was still straight.

Behind him, naturally all the elites who had survived the centuries brought over from the Arc de Triomphe fought bloody battles one by one, and when El Salvador finally led people to retreat, the defenders above and below the Arc de Triomphe were almost all again, seven or eight thousand troops, and more than half of the casualties were lost so far, in the war of the Cold Weapon Age, such a casualty ratio, the team should have collapsed a long time ago, and it was all up to him, the last famous general of the empire, to support it until now.

Once Salvador retreated, Adric was not relieved, he immediately realized,

The current situation is more sensitive, more subtle, and more dangerous!!

Almost immediately, he did not hesitate to order the whole army to jump out of the camp, but instead entangled with El Salvador's troops all the way, first, it was natural to buy time at the last moment, not to let Salvador run to join forces with Hughes, make a last stand, on the other hand, the thoughts in his heart could not be made clear to outsiders!

We must get to the palace as soon as possible!!

Although the Landis are reinforcements, such salmon friends may not be reliable! At this moment, the Byzantine Empire is at the end of its rope, and it is difficult to protect these allies...... It may not give birth to any wolf's mind!

The remnants of the army after him had been fighting hard for days, hungry, thirsty, fatigued and wounded, and had almost crushed this team to the brink of collapse.

It's just that Adric still forcibly pulled the team out, fought with El Salvador's rear team along the way, and then rushed to the palace in a desperate way...... Sure enough, that is, the arrival of the Landis people is nothing more than the front and rear feet.

And the scruples in his heart are indeed not unreasonable...... Adrick himself didn't know that if he came a little late, he was afraid that Gislent on the other side would really have something in mind!

These people brought by Adric have been fighting hard for many days, and at this moment, the two thousand soldiers behind him are still in a posture on the long street, with bowstrings and swords in hand, making it clear that they are going to fight desperately at any time, but Adrick did it deliberately.

There are many generals under him, naturally no one really doubts Adric's intentions, even if it is clear that the rebels have withdrawn, but they still order the whole army to put on such a vigilant posture, and most people only think that the commander is to prevent the rebels from counterattacking, even if there are some of them who have a flexible mind and a keen sense of smell, and the gap is a little unusual, they will naturally not really say this kind of thought in public.

Gislent stood in the distance, looking at Adric himself and the generals behind him.

Based on Gislent's experience in the army, it is not difficult for him to see that the Byzantine army on the opposite side has almost reached the end of the road, from soldiers to generals, all of them are scarred, the soldiers are exhausted, the casualties are heavy, the clothes and armor are not neat, the flag is broken, everyone is tired and bloody.

However, he was still able to make a defensive posture and lined up the formation, and even Adrick in front of him, Gislent could see the weakness of the other party at a glance, no matter how hard Adrick tried his best to cheer up, the injuries on his body were not as good as those of a smart person like Gislent.

For a moment, even Gislent himself was shaken!

(Adric was at his weakest now, and the remnants of the army behind him, having exhausted all their energy, looked crooked and falling, fearing that he would fall if he poked it lightly...... If at this time, there is a sudden raid on the past, maybe ...... With just one charge, the opposing team can be completely annihilated...... Perhaps, with just one charge...... Perhaps!)

Such a great temptation is enough to make a commander like Gislent his heart beat faster and his mouth dry

The tongue is dry.

Defeat Adric's army in one fell swoop, kill the pillar of the Byzantine Empire, and kill Adric to leave a place in the history books

's famous general, the capital city of a country, and then as long as he swings his own army, the already crumbling palace gate is afraid that it will not be able to stop these Lantis elites behind him! The emperor in the palace can be firmly in his hands......

Kill the strongest generals of a country, set the capital of a country, and capture the emperor of a country alive...... Such a great feat, I am afraid that it will be left in the history books, even if it is another hundred years and thousands of years, the world will not forget the name "Gislent" and "Son of the Storm"!

The hundreds of years of history of the Kingdom of Landis, except for the founding fathers of the country, there is no more

A person's martial arts can be comparable to himself!

Maybe...... You just need to make the next decision.

Perhaps, all it takes is a charge!!

With such a big temptation, Gislent's eyes, for a moment, really moved

Shake it!

It wasn't until the opposite side, Adric, who was on his horse, seemed to notice the strange silence of the "Storm Child" on the other side, and immediately shot a sword-like look......

"Huh...... It's really exciting. ”

Gislent licked his lips and took a deep breath, his eyes finally returning

Piece Qingming.

The temptation is great, but ...... But I can't move!

It's true...... I can't move.

Kill Adric, destroy the remnants of the army in front of you, and then wave your army into the palace...... The comparison of strength in his hands at the moment may really be able to do it.

But what about after that?

There are still more than 100,000 rebels inside and outside the city, and if he really does this, I'm afraid that Salvador and Hughes will laugh so much that they can't even close their mouths. If you turn against the Byzantine Empire at this moment, then the entire strategy for the rest will be lost!

The "jurisprudence" of Lantis's dispatch of troops will no longer exist! Not to mention whether he could capture the Garcia emperor, even if he was caught, he would not be able to control the remnants of the Byzantine Empire by such a method. When the time comes...... Without the banner of the emperor, the local powers throughout Byzantium would collapse completely...... Turning into a plate of loose sand, it doesn't do you any good! The only ones who will be big and small are those rebels and soldiers!

At the end of the day, ...... yourself Randy Jin's side is an "outsider" after all!

Unless Lantis is determined to put on the posture of all-out war, the whole country mobilizes "all the armies to pull out, make up their minds, and fight a war with the goal of the total destruction of the Byzantine Empire......

But can you really afford it now?

Byzantium now has rebels inside and Odin outside! If the royal family is really destroyed, it is impossible for its own side to swallow such an empire!

Gislent knew very well that the conclusion of this war had already been made in the country from top to bottom: it was impossible to eat this empire at once! In this war, the only purpose of the country's participation in the war was to reap enough benefits! But this premise must ensure the continued existence of the royal family of the Byzantine Empire.

Gently, gently, Gislent let go of the fists that he had clenched unconsciously, and then exhaled a breath that seemed to expel all the heat that had just risen in his heart.

Finally, with a smile on his face again, he quickly ran to the front, opened his arms, signaled that he was not holding a sword in his hand, and met Adrick's sharp eyes, Gislent laughed loudly: "Hey, Scarface, I led the army here, you made a murderous atmosphere, is this how you greeted your allies?" hahahaha......

Saying that, he didn't hesitate, and a person broke away from the team behind him and walked to the wide field

Above.

Opposite, Adric sat on horseback, watching Gislent finally come out, and the general was finally secretly relieved.

(Gislent, after all, is still Gislent, if it is changed to a short-sighted guy, I am afraid.)

It's really dangerous. )

Ad-Rick snorted, he didn't ride his horse forward, it was really because of the war horse under his crotch, and he was afraid that he couldn't even run a few steps at the moment.

"Once again, the Imperial City Guards have led their troops to defend His Majesty the Emperor of the Imperial Kingdom. Gislent

Your Excellency, since your department is a guest army, pay off the imperial city and retreat a little, don't offend. ”

Adric threw these two sentences coldly.

This was very polite, but the smile on Gislent's face did not decrease by half a point, and he immediately turned his head, and deliberately shouted in a voice that could be heard on the other side: "Order, the whole army retreats two hundred steps! Get out of this street, and no one is allowed to set foot in the square without my order."

!!

The Lantis silently lined up and retreated, and the gislent with a big smile on his face didn't mean to come forward to speak, but just turned his head and left, and before leaving, he cast a meaningful look, far away, as if he had thrown a sentence.

"Adric, Your Excellency is fighting this time, the emperor can survive, Your Excellency has made great contributions, and after the war, I am afraid that the general will be the leader of the Byzantine army in the future, and I congratulate Your Excellency again. ”

In the face of such words, Adric did not make any statement, just looked at the other party coldly, and watched the black-pressed Lantis team completely withdraw from the street, far away on the street, leaving only dozens of sentry posts.

Adric turned over and dismounted, and the two guards around him came up to support him in a concealed posture, this always tough general, he didn't refuse anymore, he really couldn't even walk.

More than 2,000 remnants of the army stepped forward and occupied the vast field in front of the palace.

Hughes led the people away very simply, and did not even pack up the tents and camps left before, and 2,000 people were hastily stationed around the wide field, still on guard.

It was only at this time that the gate of the palace, which was already mottled with blood and fire, finally opened slowly.

Several generals covered in blood, the first one, with an imperial eagle head flag in his hand, stepped out, and from a distance, he saw Adric's figure, and the general suddenly knelt down

When he looked up, his face was covered in blood, his forehead was wrapped in gauze, and one eye was wrapped in it.

Adric was helped to the face, and the eyes of the kneeling general suddenly flowed

Tears came.

The blood on his face mixed together and rolled down.

"General...... We're holding on!"

Adric recognized this man, a flag officer in the city guard, a brave general who was usually quite brave, but at the moment he was obviously blind in one eye, kneeling there, but his body was trembling.

Adric took a deep breath, glanced at the man, and said in a deep voice, "Where's Span?"

...... There was no answer, and the few people in front of him were all as silent as death.

When Adric saw Span's army, the general was sitting on the tower of the palace.

He still held a knife in his hand, and his grip was so tight that the joints of his fingers were tense and white.

Span's lips were slightly long, and he sat on the floor, his back against the wall. The wounds on his body, the blood has not dried yet, and the armor leaves on his chest have been turned over, and the flesh and blood are blurred.

There was no blood on his face, presumably wiped clean, his eyes open, and he refused to close them.

...... Spann is dead.

The death is absolute, and the death is very pathetic.

Seeing that the most difficult time had passed, it seemed as if he was about to see the dawn sun, but Span...... But he died.

It was the last moment before the dawn came.

Adrick stood in front of Span's corpse, quietly looking at this colleague, looking at this imperial general who had fought side by side with him for more than half a year, watching this man reach middle age, but he had achieved nothing before, but in this Great Patriotic War, he stood up and turned the tide.

Beside him, some of the officers and generals in the city guards were crying in a low voice, and some were silent

Language.

Only the officer, who had lost one eye, spoke in a low voice.

"If you had come a moment earlier, you might have been able to catch one last glance at Lord Span.

"The rebels rushed to the city gate, and finally went crazy, we fought hard for many days, the brothers really couldn't resist, they were killed and scattered, and seeing that the city gate was about to be lost, Lord Span rushed up with a few officers, desperately blocking the gap. ”

"The adult's body has been weak these days, and yesterday he was hit by an arrow, and only the two of them were in the shoulder

and a great deal of blood was lost on his shoulder. ”

"At that time, it couldn't be stopped, those rebels were all selected to dare to die, the adults took us desperately to stop them, the little hands fought xxxsw a melee, most of the people who came up we died, but after all, they dared to go down, only the enemy retreated, but I saw the adults sit down by themselves, and leaned against the wall and stomped on it. ”

"Adults never show a little tiredness in front of people on weekdays, even if they receive serious injuries, as long as they are in front of the soldiers, they are straightened back, and they don't even frown, at that moment, I and when the adults suddenly sat down, I had a thought in my heart: not good!"

"My lord was hit in the chest by the elite of the rebels with a prismal hammer. Originally, his armor was already broken, and his body was weak, and he couldn't bear this blow. When we ran to him, the adults were still conscious, but they couldn't lift their hands. ”

His chest armor was shattered, and his ribs were deeply recessed, but I was afraid that the ribs were broken and poked into the lungs. Why are we crying, but my lord's face is as usual, but blood is pouring out of his mouth......"

As he spoke, the officer could not stop crying, clenched his fists, and knelt before Span's corpse, his voice trembling. is obviously a strong man, but he cries like a child.

Adric's eyes were red, but he only took a deep breath, and the tears didn't flow after all.

After a moment of silence, Adric whispered, "He...... Have you ever had anything to say?"

"Words......" The officer looked up) at Adric) and whispered = "There is only one sentence, Lord Span, before he died, just looked at us, and said 'non-stop' in his mouth."

"Hugh?"

“...... The adults said, "Blow the trumpet, let them hear our trumpet, let them know that we are still there."

Yes, the Imperial City is still there. ”

“...... Trumpet...... Blowing the trumpet......" Adric's face was gloomy, and he said the word softly in his mouth, and finally, he could not bear it any longer, and tears rolled down his face, and a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes!

Huo Ran turned around, he turned his head to look at the people behind him, and shouted, "Someone!

Order!"

"Yes, sir. "One of his subordinates stepped forward immediately.

...... Herald...... Trumpet!! Blow the horn of triumph!"
