Chapter 504: Turning the River and the Sea
"Although his injury is not serious, it is not easy to fully recover in such a short period of time. It's just that if he insists on participating in the war, it's not completely impossible!" Li Zijun said this and shook his head with a wry smile, with his understanding of the Holy Rank master, that person would never stop shooting him lightly. That guy can persist no matter how much he flips, and he will definitely appear in Eagle City and avenge himself!
"Don't think about him, even if there is no him, but the other three guys on the battlefield are not something that Diarra and I can handle! ”
"If we meet them again in Eagle City this time, Diarra and I will definitely lose more than win!"
"What's more, judging from the current situation, Diarra still has to stay in the second line of defense to help defend. In this way, even if I rush to Eagle City at this time, we don't have any chance of winning!" Li Zijun sighed slightly, although he was unwilling in his heart, he had already secretly 'retreated'.
"At this time, if you have two or three more helpers like Master Diarra, are you sure that you will turn the tables in Eagle City?" Hope frowned and pondered for a while, then suddenly turned his head and asked Li Zijun a slightly abrupt question.
"At least there's a chance! It's just that the Holy Rank master is not a 'cabbage' in the ground, and he can catch two of them at will. I also know that there are quite a few Aojin Empire's Saint-Rank masters, but 'far water can't quench the thirst of the near'! Unless they are in the barracks or Eagle City at the moment, otherwise, it will be useless!" Li Zijun boasted that he still knew a little about the Aojin Army, and he didn't think that in the Aojin Army, in addition to Diarra, there were also Saint-Rank masters. As for the Eagle City side. Because of Usman's relationship, he didn't dare to give up any hope.
"Since that's the case. Then we might really have hope! Eagle City aside, I suspect it's in this barracks. It's not just Lord Diarra and you, the two Saint Rank masters. ”
"Really?" asked Li Zijun as he looked at Hope with a look of disbelief. At the same time, he quickly combed through all the people he met in the Aojin military camp in his mind. Nothing!
"Brother Hope, are you just suspicious, or do you have any information or intelligence?
"Although I am only skeptical at the moment, I have great confidence in my skepticism! My reason is simple: this time His Majesty the Emperor sent all his adult sons into battle to test who was more suitable to be his successor, and not to let his son die, and he could not have left a hand behind him!"
Hearing Hope's words, Li Zijun couldn't help but feel his eyes light up:
"Why didn't I think of that?!"
"Brother Hope, you're doing a great favor this time! I'll go and say goodbye to Diarra, Rogge, and Bridget, and you will go with me to Marcus and Simpson in secret. Li Zijun said, got up and prepared to go out.
"Ed, you wait a minute!" Hope stopped Li Zijun just as he was about to step out of the tent.
"This time our battle with Feng Qi in Eagle City is a pinnacle duel, with my skills, even if I rush over, it won't help much, but it may even distract you to protect me. In that case, I might as well stay. I feel like I'm needed more here!"
"This is a pair of bracers that Batug gave me, as long as you wear it on your body, I am sure he will do his best to help you!" said Hope as he took out a brand new pair of bracers from his arms and handed them to Li Zijun.
Li Zijun looked at the bracer and hesitated slightly, but finally took it from Hope's hand.
"Take care!" Li Zijun patted Hope on the shoulder. Without looking back, he walked out of the tent.
"If we're all still alive after this war, I'll invite you to drink!" Hope looked at Li Zijun's back. He smiled slightly and made a solemn promise.
After explaining the situation to Diarra, Rogge, and Bridget. Li Zijun secretly left the second line of defense and rushed straight to Marcas's station.
"Archduke Edlaide sent me a letter? Just let him in!" Marcus had been waiting for Li Zijun's reply, and when he heard that he had sent someone, Marcas immediately ordered someone to bring the messenger to him.
"What about the letter of the Grand Duke?" saw that the messenger had bowed deeply to him, and there was no movement, and Marcas said a little unpleasantly.
"The Grand Duke asked me to pass on a message, and the Grand Duke specially instructed me: This message can only be listened to by His Highness alone!" replied the messenger, bowing slightly to Marcas.
"I'm all here," Marcus could say before he could finish his sentence, as if suddenly realizing something, and after looking the messenger up and down, he sent everyone around him out of the tent.
"Ed, what's going on, why are you dressed up like this?" Marcus waited until he and Li Zijun were the only two people left in the tent, and then he walked up to Li Zijun and asked in a low voice.
"After receiving the letter you asked Bridget to bring me, I immediately organized Diarra, Rogge, Hope, and Bridget to analyze the situation you mentioned!"
"I'm sorry to let them read your letter without your permission! On the one hand, I think these people are absolutely trustworthy, and on the other hand, I know almost nothing about the specifics of Eagle City, and I have to ask them to help me with advice. Please don't be surprised?"
"This matter is indeed a bit embarrassing for you, you did the right thing!How about it, what result did you discuss?" Marcas waved his hand to Li Zijun, and after expressing his disdain, he asked him a little nervously.
"There must be something wrong with Eagle City! I came back here secretly this time just to see if I can solve this matter smoothly!" Li Zijun didn't go around the bend with Marcas, and directly explained his intention.
"What do you want to do?" Marcas had been prepared for such an outcome, and when he learned of this, he quickly regained his composure.
"I can't answer you about how to do it now, so I can only 'improvise' after entering Eagle City!"
"I came here for three main purposes: first, to ask you for a warrant to enter Eagle City to prove the legitimacy of my entry into Eagle City; second, I am ready to borrow a few people from Lord Simpson to act with me; third, I want to ask you for an appointment to appoint Batug as the Lord of Eagle City for the time being. ”
"It's okay to enter Eagle City, I can give it to you, and it shouldn't be a problem to borrow someone from Uncle Simpson, but I'm afraid I don't have that much power in the matter of appointing Batuge!"
"At present, you are the acting marshal of the Aojin Army, and as long as the overseer, that is, Lord Simpson, agrees, you have the power to appoint and dismiss the wartime city commanders. This appointment is very important, and it is directly related to the success or failure of our operation, and you must find a way to get it to me!"
"Why do you have to replace Said, even if you want to replace Said, it should be Usman who will replace him, do you suspect that something is wrong with both of them?" Although Marcas had been prepared for the situation in Eagle City, he was still taken aback when he heard that both Said and Usman might have problems.
"There shouldn't be any problem with Said, the reason why he needs to be replaced is mainly because his physical condition is no longer enough to support him to continue to sit in the position of the main general! As for Usman, that's right, the object of our suspicion is him!"
"Usman?no, he is also a member of our royal family, how could he do something to betray the country?" asked Marcus as he looked at Li Zijun with a look of disbelief.
"I don't want this to be true either, but from what we know so far, he's the most likely one!
"Well, I'll try to convince my uncle to support your decision. It's just that as far as I know, he has a good impression of Usman, and I don't dare to make any guarantees that he will eventually agree to your proposal. Seeing that Li Zijun said so resolutely, Marcus immediately issued an order to urgently summon Simpson to his big tent.
It's just that Marcus was worried that Li Zijun and Simpson would be unhappy on Usman's issue, so he first gave Li Zijun a 'preventive shot'.
Li Zijun didn't really care about this, he smiled and waved his hand at Marcas, indicating that he had prepared himself.
It didn't take long for Simpson to be taken to Marcus's camp, and he was also taken aback when he saw Li Zijun:
"Grand Duke, why are you here? Could it be that something happened at the front?" Simpson asked Li Zijun with a change of face.
"Lord Supervisor, rest assured, since our second line of defense is well prepared, it is impossible for the Feng Qi Army to do anything in a short period of time! I secretly rushed over this time to report another matter to the two of you. Li Zijun then told their guess about Eagle City.
"For the sake of safety, I decided to return to Eagle City with a few people to understand the situation, which can be regarded as preparing for the retreat of the army!"
"Some of Eagle City's recent reactions are indeed a bit wrong, so it's better for you to take someone back to take a look. What do you need me to do?" Hearing this, Simpson had already guessed the purpose of Marcus inviting him, and he smiled and asked the two of them.
"Ed's first is to borrow a few people from his uncle, and second, he wants you to sign an appointment for him with me. ”
"Appointments, what appointments?" said Simpson, who was to sign the appointment with Marcas, and he couldn't help but be alarmed.
"Batuge's appointment as the temporary acting general of Eagle City!" Li Zijun did not embarrass Marcas, he directly said what he thought in his heart.
Simpson was slightly stunned, then fell into deep thought.
Seeing that Simpson did not oppose as strongly as he imagined, Marcas couldn't help but start 'turning the river and the sea' in his heart.
"Can you be sure that Usman really has a problem?" Simpson asked, looking at Li Zijun steadily. (To be continued......)
