Chapter 589: Proof of Betrayal

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

It's easy.

The long sound of the horn sounded rapidly on the battlefield. The meaning contained in it made the imperial soldiers on the entire battlefield turn their heads in surprise - such a rapid horn sound was still heard in their military resumes,

Because that represents a total retreat...... Or rather, the signal on the eve of the rout.

Of course, this is undoubtedly a kind of salvation for them—their will to fight is being destroyed little by little by those pervasive death clouds, flashing fireballs, and those elusive enemies! Although the fog that permeates the entire battlefield blocks the view, the rumbling and low sound that comes from this mist, and the sorrowful screams of men and horses before death, which are mixed in, intermittently, but never stagnate, make them shudder.

Not to mention that huge, metal-made monster!

Not only does the opponent have a large team of mages who can overwhelm their own casters, but they also have golems!

These cognitions gradually turned into whispered discussions in the mouths of the soldiers in the front row, and they were conveyed loudly...... Finally it spread like a plague among the remnants of the army, becoming a source of fear—the roaring gurgling roars, the clouds of death and fireballs that burst overhead from time to time, the never-turned-back charges of the knights on their own side, all seemed to confirm these suspicions little by little!

And the metal golem ...... The gods are above, and those indefatigable and invincible giants are undoubtedly not opponents that can be defeated by filling in a few human lives!

Countless warriors weakened and fell for no apparent reason...... The tide of battle seemed to have fallen from an exhilarating victory to an erosive defeat in an instant! All the knights were now gone, and the warriors of the Empire were only deceiving themselves about their superiority in numbers, the fear of the harsh military law and the weapons in the hands of the warlords, and the confusion of the ordinary soldiers about the situation of battle. It's just a matter of support......

So, when the trumpet sounded, everyone, from the soldiers to the chiefs, even the chiefs of the hundreds, and the chiefs of the thousands, after a moment of hesitation, stopped and began to retreat. And this retreat soon turned into a rout. They threw down their spears and shields, and began to charge towards the only way of life in their sanity, the open gate......

"Is it over?"

The long sword swung through the air, and a pitch-black half-moon trail streaked past the last soldier in front of him. Seeing the two corpses slump to the sides in the bloodstained entrails that spurted out with a bang, Claudia looked up. Gazing at the thin mist on the battlefield. Behind the mist, the shadowy human form converged into a stream and was absorbed by the city...... The knightess kicked the stirrup lightly, and she sat down, and the giant horse, which was half as tall as her kind, stopped. Shaking the massive head and making a dull snort.

This magically transformed warhorse into a summon is actually one of the last mounts that can run - behind the female knights, there are only a few knights left in the original thousand-strong order...... This tactic of chasing prey like a pack of wolves. The manpower of the horsepower was very demanding, and it was not suitable for the Tumenes, who were not suitable for long-distance travel, and at this moment, almost all the horses that were still moving had lost the ability to run, and they were breathing rapidly and foaming at the mouth.

But the knights on the horse were unaware of this, and they just stared at the empty battlefield behind the mist...... After a long time, the notes of the shouts began to burst out of their mouths, piercing the deathly silence on the battlefield, and then interspersed into a mountain and tsunami, resounding in the sky with cheers!

Miracle!

With 3,000 men repelled nearly three times as many opponents and killed nearly half of the soldiers! This is a genuine, miraculous victory for the battles of this era!

And most importantly, they are in the midst of this miracle!

No longer a burden, no longer a bystander, but a real, one of the victors, who witnessed and participated in the birth of this miracle!

"We've won!" "We've won!" "Ha...... Those imperial bastards, ahem, they fled faster than rabbits!" "Victory!" "Long live victory, long live generals!" ...... The soldiers roared, with whatever words they could think of, to relieve their feelings, and countless shouts, laughter, and roars, converged in their ears, and finally, into a less neat, personal voice......

"Hooray! General Claudia......!

The female knight looked up.

In my memory, there seems to be some similar scenery...... Those same joys and shouts, different figures, are dissolving with the surrounding qiē. But as the memory welled up, there seemed to be a voice in my head, telling something.

It says that none of this qiē belongs to you...... It says that you are just a thief, an illusion that never exists......

"The hosts. Narrowing her crystalline eyes slightly, she reached out and stroked her chest, muttering to herself.

......

The taste of victory, as sweet as spirits, penetrates into the hearts of every victor in a silent moment like drunkenness, but the bitter fruit of defeat is sour and indescribable, and it is stalked in the throat of every loser......

"All the thousands, hundreds, assemble in the castle hall!"

Amid the sound of orders, dozens of high-ranking knights wearing white feathers rushed into the gate of the castle like a whirlwind, and their sonorous steps seemed to crush the hard bluestone on the ground, and when they took off their helmets, the faces they revealed were all as green as pig iron without exception. The anger in his eyes almost turned into substance, and he burned the one in front of him!

This battle was really too miserable and too stupid!

And the reason for this is not because of that strange magic weapon, let alone because the enemy's strength is too strong......

The failure, no doubt, is to blame for the unorthodox command!

If it weren't for those inconsistent orders, sluggish reflexes, and no strategy at all, this great defeat would not have been possible if it were not for those inconsistent orders, sluggish reflexes, and no strategy at all, but only a putrid plan that showed pride and stupidity? Even if the enemy had a powerful magic puppet, even if the enemy's cast distance was beyond expectations, he would not have lost so completely. So...... Aggrieved!

"The city lord has ordered that only all the thousand people can enter, and the rest, please wait here for a while until the city lord gives the order!"

At the door of the hall, the halberds in the hands of the two guards were erected, intersecting, and the sonorous voices made a rustling of metal friction in the team, and more than half of the people seemed to subconsciously press their hands on the hilt of their swords. A messy murmur of curses, mingling with the echoes of the passage, became a low hum.

The chaos lasted for a moment, and several people presented their will, but in the end. More guards came out of the guardhouse, leaving the angry crowd. Had to be a little quieter. Six knights with a thousand long badges walked into the hall.

When several thousand-person leaders walked into the room one by one, they couldn't help but be stunned.

The empty hall was unusually quiet, and there was not a single figure in sight, except for the marquis's lady sitting quietly on the throne behind the long and large table. She looked up and stared at them as they walked into the room, but didn't say a word. The old castle hall has no window lattices, and the magic lights of illumination shine from the decorative chandeliers. The pale cyan light flickered dimly, making the expressionless bloated face look so pale, even a little hideous.

"Your Excellency, what is the purpose of your command today? Is it really the result of consultation with the mages? Our knights have lost almost three-quarters! These people are all trained and actual combat elites, far from being comparable ......to those peasant soldiers."

The leaders of the thousand men looked at each other, and then one of them, a stout man with a beard, stepped forward and spoke proudly, suppressing his anger and almost questioning.

Without waiting for an answer, he took a deep breath and continued: "I said before the battle that these actions of yours are wasting the lives of our loyal soldiers......! They give you unconditional trust and obey all your commands, but ...... As the commander of this battle, I doubt that you really understand the severity of this question!"

In fact, these words were undoubtedly a harsh accusation, but due to the distance between the two people's identities, the knight still made a little reservation in the wording.

The faces of the knights standing on the side were different about the way this question was asked...... It's just that since the question has been raised, they can no longer interfere, so they can only be silent and quietly wait for the response to this question.

"It's a waste...... This was my mistake. The woman spoke.

That indifferent voice made everyone stunned again, in their expectations, the other party should have been furious, denying the accusation, or even distorting and planting, to evade responsibility...... But now, she has directly admitted her mistake?

In this way, the anger in everyone's hearts lost its channel for a while. Before they could regain their thoughts, the Marquis continued: "In order to prevent this mistake from continuing and causing more unnecessary casualties, I have decided to surrender to this army of Tumenis. ”

"Are you crazy? Surrender like this?To those Tumenis bastards? No way!" The words echoed a dozen breaths in the empty room, and silence slowly filled the air, and after a thousand people looked at each other in disbelief, the space was filled with roars!

"What a madman, what qualifications do you have to command ......"

"It was the orders from this woman that made my soldiers ......"

The sound of sneering metal rubbing was endless, and the remaining three knights and thousands of commanders almost immediately drew out their own troops, if it weren't for the generals of the other city guards who desperately stopped them, I am afraid they would have pounced on it and shattered the fat woman's body into thousands of pieces!

"Calm down, calm down for me!"

One of the generals of the city guard roared, grabbed his colleague beside him, and then turned to the marquises: "...... Mademoiselle Marquis...... What the hell are you thinking? Please don't say such nonsense! Be serious, give us a real explanation!"

"I think it's understandable that you don't want your soldiers to die in vain, so I'm ready to fight all this alone, and surrender to Tumenis's army. Facing the agitated crowd of her subordinates, the baroness sat still, her expression silent and surprisingly calm.

"However, it has not yet reached that moment, although our army has suffered a setback, there are still 5,000 troops in the city! Even if the enemy had that magic weapon, it would be impossible for him to break through so lightly, as long as the city was defended, it would be impossible for those Tumenes' stray soldiers to break through the city! As long as there was a buffer time of a day or two, we could wait for the support of the Duke's army, no matter what, how could we ...... so lightly."

"You didn't hear what I said?"

Wait a minute –

Surrender and treason, these are two completely different concepts......

"You're going to want us to throw ourselves into the Tumines? Surrender to the barbarians? Are you crazy? Do you know what you're talking about? You want to betray the Empire? You damn pigs! bastards!"

"Want to surrender?

A sneer appeared on his face, and he didn't care at all about the abnormal behavior of the young lady in front of him. In fact, he was even a little excited in his heart-

If it weren't for this damn fat woman's indiscriminate command, how could his own soldiers have been sent to their deaths in vain? The five thousand cavalry of the empire, although not the strongest elite, were also the lives of five thousand young people!

No. Probably, from the very beginning, she was already a despicable and shameless traitor!

If so it is inferred. That stupid command makes sense - it was simply planned. An order to send those soldiers to their deaths!

Now that the traitor's purpose has been fully revealed, who does he think we are? she, alone, has lost thousands of cavalry, and we, the warriors of the Empire, will be frightened, will follow her shameless and despicable traitorous acts?

You traitor!

After you have exposed such direct betrayal words and deeds. What do you think your nobility can do? Even the Duke will not be able to give you any protection, he will only skin you as a fat-brained fool! But before that, I will unload two or three of your hands and feet to comfort the souls of my fallen brothers!

Reach out and touch the long sword at your waist. But the smile on the face of the thousand people suddenly stiffened!

A subtle, as if the sound of a copper bell striking came from a distant place, but it became clear again in an instant, so he suddenly appeared, his body, began to lose control for no reason, he wanted to raise his hand to draw the sword, wanted to retreat, but he could only watch, extremely clearly, the woman pulled out the long sword, swung it, and the blade stabbed at his throat!

The time he had had to fight back was passing mercilessly! He could feel the familiar touch of the long sword on his fingers, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull it out of the scabbard even an inch! His foot only had to take half a step back to make this attack slash into the air, but he couldn't even sink down, which only required to relax his muscles!

Laugh at......

There was no turning back for her, and in full view of everyone, she took the lead in beheading an imperial general, announcing the order to surrender, and was forced to paralyze the enemy...... No matter how reasonable these explanations were, the Empire could no longer tolerate and admit such a traitor! She could only carry the name on her back and keep going, regardless of whether there was a thorny road in front of her.

Or, in front of her, it should be a staircase to the bottomless abyss...... And the demon who pushed her down from behind stood still in the shadows of the room, letting out a gloomy and pleasant sneer!

How come I don't remember which of the Empire's three ** divisions is not in Illyria?——
