Volume II, Chapter 89

The endless canyon winds in the other direction, about half a mile wide, and gradually becomes more open at the exit, almost a mile and a half wide.

Now, the entrance to the canyon is completely sealed off by a makeshift parapet that is not too high, and there are many people carrying something on the parapet, and the passwords coming from them are clearly legible. And the ground that stretched out of the parapet for two miles into the canyon was all a strange dark red, a color I was familiar with, the color of blood mixed with earth—a disgusting color that accompanied me through the entire battle of Tucheng.

My eyes looked at the camp at the mouth of the canyon, this camp is not very big, it is basically built according to the terrain, in the shape of a long strip, in which various buildings are built relatively neatly, and the soldiers walking around and practicing in the camp are still decent.

I was lying on the edge of the cliff, already thinking in my heart which army should be the main attack, which army should respond, so as to take these 6,000 men in one fell swoop.

At this moment, there were several shouts from the bottom of the cliff, and the two stupid sentries in the trees next to them immediately jumped down, and one stood on the edge of the cliff and poked his head in response, while the other took the rope out of the grass and threw it down.

Of course, I would not let go of such a good opportunity, and taking advantage of the chaotic sound of a series of movements between the two of them, I had quickly escaped from the edge of the cliff and retreated with a gesture towards Helt.

"What's going on, boss?" "As soon as I got out of the forest, Helt couldn't wait to ask me, "Are they really Bansai troops?"

"Yes. I put on my coat a few times, thinking back to the information I had just heard, and suddenly my heart moved: "We will go back immediately." The situation is much worse than we thought!"

Haier nodded. Follow me all the way back to the passage. Twenty miles away, there was a break in between.

As soon as I returned to the General Staff, I immediately ordered that all officers at and above the battalion level be convened for a pre-war meeting.

"Sir, what's the situation?" The brothers who got the news rushed to the first place, and Carlos was the first to ask, "With such a large-scale meeting, there is a big battle to be fought soon?"

"The battle that is about to take place is not on a large scale. "I watched the officers of all ranks rushing through the entrance of the tent. He whispered to his brothers, "But once this battle begins, it will be a series of battles, and we may not find any chance to hold another general meeting in the future." ”

"Boss, what happened?" Moya asked, "How can you be so strict?"

"The troops at the exit of the canyon are from the Bansai Empire, the Divine Alliance, and the order to block the canyon was given by the Red-Coated Left Priest. I looked at Carlos and said, "Do you know how strict this situation is?"

Before he could finish his sentence, Carlos's face turned completely pale at this moment, and Moya's eyes were fixed on Hailt, who nodded slightly.

"Boss, what's going on?" Jack looked at us puzzled.

"According to our original guess, even if someone betrays us, it doesn't matter much, as long as we're not finished. I touched Jack's head and said, "I didn't expect this to be the order of the cardinal priest." This means that someone is not betraying us. It was the entire Divine Coalition Army that betrayed us┅┅They colluded with the Demon Coalition in a step-by-step and planned way, and betrayed us in exchange for great benefits!"

"But doesn't the Light Protoss care?" a cold sweat broke out on Jack's head, "Don't your majesty and Fischette care either?"

"I don't know what happened to the Protoss, but His Majesty and Fichette must be in charge - that's the key!" I lowered my voice and said, "For the Cardinal Priests, betraying us is the first step, but we are a large army of tens of thousands of people, and it is impossible for me, the Divine Knight, to disappear silently like this, so there will definitely be suspicious voices in the Alliance." Therefore, the second step of the priests must be to suppress the discordant voices in the alliance, but they definitely can't suppress the voices of His Majesty and Fichette, so do you know what he will do next?"

"Rebellion. Carlos said word by word: "Subverting the imperial power of His Majesty will be the quickest and most effective way." ”

I nodded, and Moya and Helt slammed their fists on the table at the same time.

"But. Jack wiped the sweat from his head: "Our Sbia Empire is not so easy to deal with┅┅Besides, he doesn't dare to do it blatantly!"

"Even if they want to attack His Majesty and Fischet, they will not launch until they are sure that we are completely wiped out, and I think they are waiting for a response from the Demon Alliance. My eyes glanced around my brothers: "Time is short, but we still have time!"

"Sir, time is of the essence. With a whoop, Carlos spread out the map on the table: "Tell me about your idea." ”

"As soon as we got out of the pass, the cavalry was only two days away from Garia, where was our territory, and the governor was my man, and there were four regiments of cavalry left, and more importantly, a large number of provisions!" I pointed to the map and said to my brothers, "We must first go to Garia, and then divide our troops into two routes, one of which will protect the refugees into the Dark Province, and the other will go straight to the Holy Capital!

"Along the way. "Looking at the five brothers, my palm was in the air: "God blocks and kills God, and the devil blocks and kills demons!"

"Yes!" the five men replied in a loud voice, causing all the officers in the tent to stand up.

"Are the officers here?" I said, glancing at Carlos.

Carlos's eyes swept over the room, and he immediately replied, "It's all here!"

"That's good. I said, "The meeting begins." ”

Carlos nodded to the officers on the side.

"Attention everyone┅┅" The star officer shouted: "Salute the chief!"

"Hello sir!" More than 300 officers stood in a very orderly manner, holding their helmets in their left hands, and smashed their right fists on the armor on their left chests with their right fists, making a loud metal crashing sound.

I stood in front of a huge map with a stern face, and after saluting, I carefully examined the mid- and high-ranking officers under my command.

They stood silently in front of me, looking back at me with eager and determined gazes. Regardless of stature, tall or short. But all of them are tall and majestic. Coupled with a face that is not smiling, it is a bit of a steady and sharp momentum┅┅This series of brutal battles has made them mature, and they are no longer rookies.

I looked up and asked in a loud voice, "Whose soldiers are you?"

Three hundred officers answered me in loud, unvoiced voices: "We are Chief Cohen's soldiers!"

"Who is it for!"

"Serve Chief Cohen!"

"If someone wants to kill me. I slammed my fist on the table and asked, "Then under what circumstances will he be able to do it?"

"Trampling on our corpses!"

"Well, well, you're all good!" I said slowly, "and do you know whose soldier I am Cohen Al Eyda, and who am I going to defend with my life?"

The officers hesitated. Carros was forced to shout beside him, "It's Kremer and Charmael!"

"It's Kremer Xiamai!"

"Yes, it's Kremer Xiamai, our Emperor. To me, he is not only my emperor, but also a benevolent elder, an elder who cares about my growth in every detail!" I nodded and said, "If anyone wants to hurt him, if anyone wants to hurt any of Kremer's relatives, I will defend it with my life!"

"Yes, sir!"

"And right now, there are people who want to do that. I looked at the officers and said, "This is the time for me to fulfill my oath." It doesn't matter who the enemy is. No matter how many enemies there are, I will do my duty!"

"Yes. Sir!"

"Do you want to follow me even in such a situation?" I asked aloud, "no matter who the enemy is, and no matter how many he has?"

"Always follow Chief Cohen!"

"Good. I said to Carlos, "Chief of the General Staff, report on our troops." ”

Carlos stepped forward: "Yes, sir!"

"Our army of the Dark Province currently has 120,000 troops in the passage, a total of forty-eight regiments, subdivided into two hundred and forty battalions!" said Carlos, "all the training of the soldiers has been completed, and they are ready to fight. ”

As a commander, of course, I knew the details of my troops, but the other officers didn't know about it, so I asked Carlos to come forward to show the officers.

"Order!" I pulled out a piece of paper from my bosom, an order I had written on my way back to the passage after scouting.

The officers all stood upright.

"In order to better fight, our army in the Dark Province will be temporarily divided into three legions. I expressed my idea: "I am the commander of the First Regiment, and I have 16 regiments with a total of 40,000 men, and the numbers are from the 1st Regiment to the 16th Regiment!"

"Yes!" all the officers of the sixteen regiments replied loudly. The 1st Army consisted of five Guards regiments, ten field regiments, and one regiment consisting of various special combat formations.

"Hailt was promoted to brigadier general and served as commander of the Second Army Corps. I then ordered: "The Second Regiment, 30,000 men, a total of 12 regiments, numbered from the 17th to the 28th regiment!"

"Yes!"

In Helt's troops, including all the cavalry at my disposal, there was no more excitement when he answered me.

"Mo Ya has been promoted to brigadier general, and he will be the commander of the third officer!" I ordered again, "The Third Army is also 30,000 men, with a total of 12 regiments, numbered from the 29th Regiment to the 40th Regiment!"

"Yes!"

Of the twelve regiments under Moya's command, all but one of the Guards regiments were all field regiments.

"The General Staff Department and the Command Headquarters were merged, and the law enforcement regiment, training regiment, logistics regiment, and equipment regiment that originally operated separately were also incorporated into the Command Headquarters, plus four field regiments, totaling 20,000 people. I glanced at Carlos, who was a little surprised: "After the merger, it will still be called the General Staff, and Carlos will be promoted to brigadier general and serve as the general staff officer of the army of the Dark Province!"

"Yes!"

"Judge Jack of the General Army, and Marfa, the Chief Liaison Officer, have been promoted to brigadier generals, and have served as deputy officers of the General Staff!"

"Yes!"

"That's the first order. I shook the paper in my hand, "It's not right, it's not right, but from now on┅┅ you can tell everyone that you are the army of the Dark Province, and the soldiers of my Cohen Al Qaida!"

"Yes, sir!" replied the officers in a loud and red-faced voice, "We are the army of the Dark Province, and I am the soldier of Cohen Al Khaida!"

Now, let's get down to business. "Look at the reaction of the officers. I nodded with satisfaction and said, "Here are the battle orders!"

"Yes. Sir!"

"I command!" I straightened up, "Third Legion Commander Moya!"

"Here!"

"Your mission is to take your troops with you. Protect the thirty-six tribes after the battle begins, and you must take them safely into the Dark Province of the Sbia Empire, and then report to Martin Luther for the overall defense of the Dark Province and the Dark Moon Province!"

"Yes, sir!"

"I order!" Commander of the Second Legion, Heert. ”

"Here!"

"Your task is to immediately clear out the six thousand enemy troops at the exit of the canyon and create conditions for the departure of the thirty-six tribes!"

"Yes, sir!"

"I command!" Chief Liaison Officer Marfa. ”

"Here!"

"Your mission is to cooperate with the Wingman Scouts and set off immediately. Forcibly pass the area between us and Garia, and no wind shall be leaked on the road. I said to Marfa, "You must get in touch with the remaining troops in Garya at the first opportunity, and tell Sù Colt to be ready!"

"Yes, sir!"

"The General Staff will follow the Third Legion, and the First Legion will follow me!" I finally explained, "Marfa and Ven will set off at once, the troops of the Second Army will be ready at once, and the battle at the exit of the gorge will begin in five minutes!"

"Yes!"

"Adjournment!"

Time was of the essence to us, and although the brothers were busy with a large number of business, the troops were operating in an orderly manner, as I walked straight to my tent. The first winged scouts have taken to the skies.

"Salute!"

"Hello sir!"

These guys were so loud that I had to turn my eyes from the sky to look at them.

It's Ensign Rock. He and his soldiers stood neatly outside my tent, and hundreds of people looked at me with reluctance.

Looking at their expressions, I couldn't help but ask strangely, "What's wrong with you?"

A hundred or so people were silent, not only did the rock not speak, but some of them even began to wipe their tears┅┅I looked at the guard officers beside me.

"Sir. The Guards officer whispered in my ear, "That's right, the battalion commander of the rock has just given the rock an order. ”

"Rocks. I raised my head and said, "Come out!"

Rock walked a few steps to the front, straightened his chest slightly, and said, "Sir." ”

"Are you a soldier? A soldier is a soldier who takes obedience to orders! Look at you now, my days of training have been in vain?" I reprimanded Rock loudly, "What is the order?"

"Report to Chief Cohen, the battalion commander wants us to return to the team. The throat of the rock moved: "But we are reluctant to leave." ”

If I'm not mistaken, this is the first time that the rock has stammered, and the first time a man has said he is reluctant to leave me, and then he looks at the soldiers behind the rock, and the scene is indeed a bit sad.

Or, let them stay with me, and I can see what these tribal soldiers can do.

"You are far more dangerous to follow me than to be an ordinary soldier. I said to the rock, "You have to think about it." ”

"I'm not afraid!" the rock replied in a loud voice, "We're not afraid!"

"If you don't meet my demands, I'll kick you out of the guards at any time, and you'll be very shameless. ”

"I'm not afraid!" all the people replied to me aloud, "We are not afraid of anything!"

I nodded, and said to the Guards officers on the side, "Put them into the Guard." ”

The rock and his soldiers immediately boiled, but they were immediately stopped by the other guards with their fists and toes┅┅As guards, they had to be quiet at all times.

"Change my armor. As soon as I entered the tent, I threw my coat aside and told my guards, "Hurry up." ”

"It's going to start again┅┅" Taking over my knight armor, I began to put it on: "Fuck your war!"

The guards pulled all the belt knots from the armor and stood aside, and the elven mage who was in charge of protecting me came up to scrutinize it.

"Your Excellency, your armor has been changed. "Elven magicians never call me lord or lord, which is another reason why I like them besides their appearance: "The armor is intact, and the blessed magic is fine." ”

"Got it. I nodded, "You guys go out." ”

I wanted to be alone, but unfortunately my wish was interrupted, and the guard, who had already walked outside the tent, turned back to me and said, "Sir, Chief Heert is here. ”

"Helt, let him in. I said to the guard, "Next time you remember to call him Brigadier General." ”

"Yes. ”

Hailt, dressed in military uniform, strode in and stood still in front of me, his helmet in one hand and the hilt of his sword in the other, his expression still grim.

It seems that Helt was not going to speak first.

"This looks pretty good, a bit of a general. I said quietly, "Do you have anything to tell me?"

"Yes, sir. Helt looked at me calmly, "I've thought about our last conversation. ”

"You're thinking fast. I nodded and said, "Then sue me." ”

"I've thought about it carefully, but I still can't let go of it. ”

"And then?"

"I only understand one thing, and that is that I am different from you, and you are different from Fischet. So I can't apply what you did to Fischet. Helt pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword: "I'm going to do it my own way." ”

"That's right. I could see his subtle movements, and I smiled at Helt: "So what are you going to do?"

"You know my character, I don't like to take my time, so I'm going to sue you now. Helt continued, "I am also a good-looking man, so I will see you alone." ”

"You're very sassy today. I raised my chin at him, "We're short on time. ”

"Okay, that's a big deal, I was going to have a prelude┅┅" Helt handed the helmet to his left hand, and then drew his sword with his right hand.

The sound of the sword unsheathed was heard, the curtain of the tent was violently lifted, and several guards rushed in.

I raised my hand and waved off the guards who came in, and at such a distance, if Helt really wanted to kill me, a few guards couldn't stop me.

Helt stood three steps away with his sword in hand, and I still looked at Helt with a smile, and we looked at each other calmly for a moment.

Eventually, Helt made up his mind, first slowly erecting the sword on his chest, then with a quick twist of his wrist, the tip of the sword already in the ground.

"Ahh

"I swear by Helt, in the name of my Heilt. Helt looked up at me and said with great calm, "I will always follow Cohen Al Chaida, and I will always keep the vows of the day." Whenever, wherever, and whatever happens, Cohen Kelda will always be my Helt boss!" (To be continued......
