Chapter 997: Who the Hell Is It?
"Oh, that's what you said, of course I remember!I'm the king of a country after all, how could I break my trust in such a trivial matter!" Marcas said as he tried to get up from the ground, but he tried several times but couldn't.
"I've broken my legs by your men, and I'm afraid I can't kneel down for you, but as for you being the only one, there's nothing wrong with that. ”
"That's good"
"What are you anxious about? I haven't finished my words yet! I just swallowed a few pills unintentionally due to leg pain, and when you came over, I realized that these pills were actually poison. Coincidence or not, you say?"
"Otherwise, you can follow me, I promise to go over there, I will listen to you everything!"
"Hahaha, ahem!" seemed to be because Marcus laughed, and he couldn't stop coughing.
"You"
"Poof!" Victor was about to say something, when Marcus spat out a mouthful of black blood:
"Grandma's, I still can't hold back!"
"Marcus, you're doing well! you didn't disappoint me!" Victor shook his head and gave Marcus a thumbs up as he looked at the black blood on the ground.
"What does it matter to me if you are disappointed or not! My greatest regret is that I am going to disappoint my good brother Charity!"
"And I'm even more disappointed,"
"Your Highness, look!" Potter suddenly appeared behind Victor, and with a nervous face on his face, he handed a note to Victor's hand.
"Hahaha, I have no regrets! I have no regrets!" Marcus was slightly stunned, and instantly read the expressions of Victor and Potter, and he couldn't stop laughing.
"Marcus, don't be too happy, Edlaide just burned me some grain and grass, and it's still far from him really defeating us!"
"Victor, you lie to the devil! Burn some grain? Burn some grain, Potter will die like this?"
"I tell you, you're finished! Edlaide must have captured your capital, otherwise Potter would never have died like this!hahaha!ah!" Marcas's laughter came to an abrupt end.
Only then did Victor realize that Potter's sword had pierced Marcus's chest!
"Potter, what are you doing?" Victor called out Potter's name in desperation.
"I can't let this guy continue to talk nonsense, or we're going to mess up!" Potter argued to Victor after a slight pause.
"But if you do this, you will also turn things that are not real by you!"
"I, I"
Potter only then understood the real reason why Victor was angry at him, and he 'me' twice, and finally shut his mouth.
"Moreover, it is one thing for Marcus to die of poison, and it is another thing for you to be killed, do you think the people of Santa Cruz, and even the entire Aojin Empire, after they learn that Marcus died at your hands, will recognize us so easily?"
"This, Your Highness, what should we do then?"
"Report!" Just then, a herald suddenly came to Victor's side.
"Say, what's the matter?"
"His Majesty's emissary has arrived, and he is waiting for your reception!"
"He's just in time!
"Shut up!" Victor's eyes widened, stopping Potter from grumbling.
"Tell him: I'll go see him!"
"Yes!" the herald turned away without a word, but Potter didn't do it, and he jumped to Victor's side. Potter finally didn't lose his mind completely, and he deliberately lowered his voice:
"Your Highness, is it possible that you really want to hand over this Santa Cruz to that old bastard in Heller?"
"Or else?
"Even if we lose our promise, we can't give Santa Cruz to Heller for nothing! Don't forget, we paid for the lives of nearly 200,000 soldiers!"
"Of course I won't forget! And what I won't forget is that our biggest enemy right now is not Heller, but Edlaide! So, at least for now, we can't offend that old Heller!"
"But this, this is too unwilling!"
"There's nothing to be reluctant about, Heller is just a temporary administrator, and as long as we get through this one, I promise: he'll give Santa Cruz back to us soon!"
"And, even then, we can't just hand over Santa Cruz to him so easily!" said this, Victor secretly let out a sinister smile.
"What do you mean?" Potter asked Victor for some reason.
"Heller doesn't want this Santa Cruz, so we'll give it to him. Of course, it's just here, we're going to take the rest!"
"Do you want to take them away, including the people here?"
"If they want to, that's fine, but if they don't" Victor glanced at Marcas next to him:
"Then let them stay with their king for the burial!"
"And what about the two of them?" Potter asked Victor in a low voice, pointing to Marcas, who he had killed, and Queen Aojin, who had already committed suicide by poisoning.
"Marcus is a man and deserves the respect he deserves!"
"Got it! When are you leaving?"
"I'll go and appease Heller's messenger first, and then I'll immediately lead 100,000 cavalry to the aid of the Sahara!"
"I'll leave everything to you here!Next, you only have three days, and after three days, you must lead the army and withdraw to Fengqi as quickly as possible!"
"We have so many wounded, and we have to take the people of Santa Cruz with us, three days is too little, right? Can you give me more time?"
"I want to give you time, but Lovely Drade won't give us this respite at all!Master Potter, the Fengqi Empire has reached the moment of life and death, and there is no time to delay!"
Listening to Victor's words, Potter was shocked, and only then did he think of the 'Big Moon City' that had just been lost!
Fifteen days ago, Li Zijun led a large army to besiege Big Moon City.
Although the Dongyu army is menacing, from the heart, whether it is Slint or Karen, they don't take Li Zijun's siege too seriously.
The reason is simple, during this time, Slynt has used his prestige to transfer a large number of supplies and troops around Big Moon City.
At present, the Great Moon City has not only hoarded enough food and materials for them to consume for half a year, but also gathered nearly 800,000 troops. Simply comparing the number of soldiers on both sides, Feng Qi will not fall behind!
And more importantly, Feng Qi is the defender of the city, and people with a little military knowledge know that the loss of troops on the defending side will be relatively small!
The equal number of soldiers, coupled with the abundant material reserves, gave Slint great confidence!
Slint, who had seen Li Zijun's military talent, had already made up his mind this time, that is, no matter how Li Zijun provoked, he would not be able to detect half a step in Big Moon City. For this reason, he even ignored the dissuasion of Karen and Hamilton and ordered people to block all the gates of Big Moon City!
The walls of the 'Big Moon City' are thick and high, and Li Zijun led the army to attack for three days in a row, not to mention that it is difficult to climb to the top of the city, even if it is close to the city wall.
Li Zijun seemed to be a little discouraged, and he only made up tricks outside the city to stimulate Slint next, and did not launch any actual attacks on the 'Big Moon City'.
But even so, Slint did not dare to relax in the slightest, and he personally went to the city every day to inspect the defenses of the city.
In this way, another three days passed, and Li Zijun seemed to have seen through Slint's stubborn thoughts, and he once again led the army to launch a fierce attack on the 'Big Moon City'. This time, the Dongyu Army finally touched the city wall and erected a 'climbing ladder' under the city!
The offensive was much fiercer, but three days later, the Dongyu Army still couldn't capture the head of the Great Moon City!
Looking at Edlaide who was thundering under the city, Slint's heart was overflowing with pride, and he regained his previous self-confidence.
Back in the house that day, Slint even drank some liquor, which made him sleep much heavier than usual that night.
At midnight, Slint was alert, and he sat up from the bed abruptly. Almost at the same time, he noticed that there was one more person in his room:
"Who are you, who told you to come to me?" Slint questioned as he secretly prepared for magic. But at this moment, he suddenly realized that he couldn't gather magic elements. The little things that he used to come and go with him are all 'walking' around him now!
"Who the hell are you?"
"The Dharma Protector is really extraordinary, and you are able to remain calm and not cry for help in this situation. Admire!
"Edlaide?!, what did you do to me?" Hearing the voice, Slint finally identified the person in front of him, and he couldn't help but be taken aback.
"Well, I didn't actually do anything, I just put something in this room to calm my nerves. I don't mean anything else, I'm just worried that you're not resting well during this time, and I want you to get a good night's sleep!" Li Zijun said as he walked to Slint's bed.
"You poisoned me?"
"How could I do something like poisoning? I'm not the Darkmoon Cult!"
"You!"
"Don't get excited, I really just put something soothing, but it's a little bit bigger!
"Originally, I thought it would take you a few days to fall asleep, but I didn't expect you to drink at this time, you are so helpful!"
"Edlaide, don't be complacent, if I fall into your hands, it's a big deal to die, but you don't want to get out of here alive!"
"Who said I was leaving? I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, I came today, and I didn't want to go out again!"
"Don't think about it, I'm so young, I don't want to die with you old thing!" said Li Zijun, pulling a chair and sitting opposite Slint. (To be continued.) )
