Chapter 209: The Last Elegy (1)

The noonday sun climbed to the very center of the sky, clear and cloudless, completely open to the world. However, under the clear sky, Ruinon's mood was cloudy.

A long, white, slender hand appeared behind Renon and rested on his shoulder. Rui Nong was startled at first, and suddenly turned around to find Xuan Qingyi looking at him with a smile on his face.

"I'm scared to death!" said Rinon patting his chest, "I thought it was." ”

"What's the matter?

"It's nothing, I'm just ......"

"Okay, stop!" Xuan Qingyi made a stop gesture, "Homesick?"

"yes!"

"You can see you're fascinated by what you're thinking. Xuan Qingyi smiled and said, "Do you have any plans to go back?"

"Do you still need to ask?" said Renon angrily, "since March 435...... From the day I left the Xuanqing Kingdom, I swore that one day I would return to the Xuanqing Kingdom by stepping on the corpses of the Byzantines, and then I would step on the heads of Justinian and the Pope into the Byzantine Palace. ”

"Bang Bang!" Xuan Qingyi clapped his hands and said three times in a row, "Good, good, very good! I appreciate your determination and courage, but have you ever thought about what you should do?"

"Raise your strength, everything is a floating cloud until you have strong strength. ”

"Strength, individual or collective?" asked Xuan Qingyi, staring into Ruinong's eyes.

"Do you still need to ask? Of course it's your own strength!"

"Do you plan to be the enemy of the entire Central Continent alone?" After listening to Rui Nong's words, Xuan Qingyi's calm face showed a surprised expression.

"So what?"

"Did you do it?" Xuan Qingyi shook his head and said, "Even if you can do it, how much time will it take you to improve your strength? ”

"I ......"

"You want to be the hero of the Starmoko family, Konrad Starmoko, right?" Xuan Qingyi sighed and said, "It's an unattainable dream to become someone like him, so why don't you become Arroyo Constantine first! When Master Constantine won the strongest battle mage in the Middle-earth Continent, he was already in his nineties." ”

"Uh...... This ......," Ruinon scratched at the back of his head.

"But I have a way to help you fulfill this wish faster, and at the same time, it won't delay your cultivation!"

This time it was Ruinon's turn to be taken aback, "What?"

Xuan Qingyi stretched out his hand to Ruinon and said, "Xuanqing Kingdom needs you, Ruinon Stamoko!

"Xuanqing Rebel ......"

"It's a rebel army, but it's still just a private army of more than 2,000 people. You can rest assured that they are all the best of the best. Jerry Terry, Bella Kent, Charlie Feitt, they've all joined the Xuanqing Rebels, and we need you ......"

"Jerry, Charlie, Bella, how did they join the Xuanqing Rebels? they are Kevenlas!" Renon looked at Xuanqingyi in confusion.

"Because Byzantium is Kevin Rus's worst enemy, and even more so because Kevin Rus needs us. ”

The capital city of Kevin Lalier, formerly the military headquarters of Kevin Las.

Former Kevin Russ Prime Minister Gerard Jasper anxiously paced back and forth in the office, his heart extremely anxious and irritable.

"Prime Minister......" A waiter outside the door knocked cautiously.

"Get out of here! Get out of here! Get out of here! Don't bother me!"

"But ......"

"Are you deaf, and if you bother me again, I'll chop you up and feed it to the dogs!"

"It's His Highness Hughes, he'......"

"Hughes?" Jasper took a deep breath to stabilize his agitated mood and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Hey, hey, hey...... In that case, you might as well ask me directly!" Hughes's cold voice came from behind Jasper, "Prime Minister, you seem to have a lot on your mind!"

"Yes...... It's something. Do you really want to fight?" Jasper asked cautiously, wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead, "Isn't this a little ......?"

"Yes. ”

"Can we postpone the offensive plan? If we send troops now, then we are likely to fall into the risk of fighting on two fronts. Let me consult with the Mecampos Empire again......"

"Lord Jasper, you're a veteran of politics for decades, what's the matter? Can't you even see this little bit of sesame mung bean's big heart? The Mecampos Empire has made it clear that it wants us to quit Kevenlas. His Majesty Justinian was determined to get Kevin Russ, so he would never compromise. ”

"Even so, you can't send troops to Gotak now! Once the troops are dispatched, the Mecampos Empire will definitely attack Kevin Lalier......"

"If we don't send troops now, when will we wait? When will General Lamander take over? When Constantine will recover? When Garridia, Uscorhei, and Kevin Lass will join forces again?" Hughes asked, standing up aggressively.

"That's not what I meant!" Jasper retreated to the corner of the wall in the face of Hughes, who was pressing step by step, "I'm just afraid that I will fall into the dilemma of fighting on two fronts, and ruin the great plan of His Majesty Justinian!"

"The dilemma of fighting on two fronts?" Hughes said with a smile, "Don't worry, there will be no such thing!"

"What?"

"If you were the Supreme Commander of the Western Alliance, would you choose to take advantage of the fire, or would you choose to subdue this tiger when it falls?" Hughes said with a finger against Prime Minister Jasper's heart, "and they are not like you, because they understand that rabbits can bite when they are in a hurry." ”

Jasper swallowed hard and said, "Yes......!

"Good. Hughes retracted his skinny finger and tugged at the hood on his shoulder.

"But......" Jasper tried to say but stopped talking, his body shaking like a sieve.

"What?"

His Majesty Justinian has specially advised...... I'm solely responsible for this battle. Jasper held up a letter with trembling hands.

"Hmph, so what?"

"I hope Lord Hughes will follow my orders on the battlefield. ”

"What?" Hughes asked, turning his head sharply and straightening up, a pair of empty eye sockets peeking out from under the massive hood, and a pair of dark blue soul fires were swaying from side to side.

Jasper's body trembled violently, and he was already too nervous to speak.

Hughes stared at him for a long time and said, "As long as Konstantin can die by my hands...... and slammed the door.

"Yes...... Yes......" Jasper sighed, "Thank you, Lord Hughes!" and he was able to get out of the corner. If Jasper had looked back at the moment, he would have seen that the corner of the wall was wet, wet with his sweat. He had plenty of reason to believe that the temperamental Livin Hughes could kill him "accidentally" at any moment, just by saying the wrong thing when he was in a bad mood.

In April 441, Gerald Jaspera, the former prime minister of Kevin Raslier, gathered more than 50,000 people from Kevin Raslier's rebel army and the Byzantine Empire to march towards the city of Gotak.

Temporary military command post in the city of Gotak.

"Military rations...... Apparatus...... Horses ......," said an old man with thick glasses with a bottle base, trembling as he took up his pen and wrote something in a book of materials thicker than his body.

"Damn, what about the reinforcements of the Garries?" an old general with gray temples slammed his fist on the table, leaving a deep fist mark, "Say, what about the 100,000 troops of Uskohei? Where did the little rabbit cub of Lamanda go? What's wrong? After losing the battle, they all dispersed? What about the people of the Wizards' Guild? Why did there come so many?"

In the temporary command post, an old man pointed to the sky and scolded him repeatedly, and then fell into a dead silence, and the people around him buried their heads in tidying up their things and stuffing everything they could bring into their bags.

"Mr. Leon, have the statistics been counted?" the old general came to Leon's side. Leon was the old man with thick glasses.

"Out of ...... It's out...... I'm afraid the treasury will not last for a few days. The ordnance was only enough to equip less than 2,000 infantry, and the remaining military rations were only enough to last for a week,...... As for the horses, there were none. ”

"How is that possible?" asked the old general, holding the hilt of his sword, suspiciously, when he moved the capital, ...... his majesty Adrienne.

"What city are you still defending? The contents of the treasury have long been taken away by General Lamand, who let His Majesty Adrien leave it in his hands?"

"Let's go! Let's go! Let's get out of this damn place while I still have some strength! ”

"Yes, yes, General Steve, let's go......" A feeble voice rang out around him.

"Bastard!" Steve roared, followed by a violent cough, "Raising troops for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, it is our ...... that is at the head of the national crisis"

"Phew! What is the rise and fall of the world? What is the responsibility of the husband to raise troops for a thousand days? What is loyal to the king and loyal to the country? It's just a game for those rulers!"

I only heard the sound of a sharp sword unsheathed, and Steve drew his sword and roared: "You...... Do you dare to say another word?"

"General Steve's anger!"

"General, don't be angry, this is just his momentary anger. ”

"Yes, General, think about it, but only a week's food, less than 2,000 infantry, how can we hold the city of Gotak! Now when the national crisis is at hand, where are the general Lamander and the 10,000 royal guards with heavy troops?"

Under the persuasion of the crowd, Old Man Steve put his sword back into the scabbard and said in frustration, "Go wherever you want...... I won't stop you. ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and no one moved for a while.

"Do you want to stay and die? If you want to die, die, I'...... I'm not that stupid!" Someone finally couldn't help it, and he packed a large bag of things and turned around and rushed out the door.

With the first, there is the second...... Finally, everyone couldn't take it anymore and got up to pack their things, intending to sneak out of Gotak City for refuge before the battle.

"Hahaha! What a bunch of fools! The first two are fools, what, are you all fools?"

"Who?"

"Old man, you're not going to forget me, are you?"

"Arroyo Constantine!" Steve's wrinkled old face suddenly relaxed.

"I knew that I would definitely find you here at this time. ”

"I also know you're coming, Master Constantine!"

"Master Konstantin ......" Everyone stopped what they were doing and gathered around Konstantin, looking at him with expectant eyes.

I said...... What are you all doing around me? I'm just an old buddy who came to visit me. Konstantin laughed happily.

"Haven't you heard any news from the reinforcements?"

"Nope!"

"And what about General Lamand?"

"The devil knows where he is!"

"This ......" was suddenly overshadowed by a cloud in the temporary command post.
