In the distance, Chaman Rumba, Grand Duke of the Black Sands, rode heavily armed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He was looking coldly into the distance under the support of countless infantry cavalry troops.

Under the earth-shattering shouts of killing, the banners of the two stars in the distance began to shake under the siege of six brigades and more than 2,000 Exter light infantry.

Grand Duke Rumba touched the sword at his waist.

It was the sword with which he killed his brother in a duel, and he never left him for more than ten years.

"Begin," said the Count of Levan behind him, softly, "they will soon break through and withdraw towards the fortress - we will only have to wait for the Sutherre to send the troops to meet them." ”

His most trusted advisor, Viscount Cambida, also nodded:

"The light cavalry and mounted infantry on both sides of the battlefield are ready, and any troops coming from the fortress will be able to quickly entangle them. ”

"The knights and the three hundred heavy cavalry have already unloaded half of their loads and are able to charge at a faster pace...... Even if all 3,000 men in the fortress poured out hand in hand, we would at least be able to crush their strikers at the first time - if they didn't withdraw within five minutes. ”

"Five hundred heavy sword infantry, and eight hundred heavy armor sword and axe men are on standby, they can follow ......"

"Crossbowmen, Magic Gun troops, and the remaining regular levies can also attack. ”

"When they begin to break through, we can move forward in due time, and the heavy infantry can set off first. ”

Chaman Rumba, who had a serious face, raised his hand at this time and stopped Kambida's report:

"No, let everyone be steady and stand still, and no one is allowed to approach the battlefield without permission. ”

"Let the light infantry continue to fight. ”

"We need to give the fortress some time to think about whether or not to send troops to the rescue. ”

Lord Tulha, who was beside the Grand Duke of Rumba, his face tightened when he heard this:

"If they break through in the direction of the fortress, we had better let the main force follow suitably," he said, frowning, "if the distance is too far, even if our cavalry drags down the troops sent by Sutherre, the heavy infantry will not be able to keep up, let alone destroy the opponent in the field, and with her ability, there will be no time to recapture their prince." ”

"Then whether it is taking the opportunity to attack the city or the attrition of the field, our plan will be meaningless. ”

Rumba looked at the battle situation in the distance and shook his head slightly.

"Sutherre is a cautious and cautious man," said the Grand Duke of Rumba, looking at the Broken Dragon Fortress in the distance with a complicated expression, "to lure her into sending troops, you must risk giving her some hope: if you don't send troops, their prince will surely be destroyed on the battlefield, and if you send troops, maybe half of the hope of retrieving the prince." ”

"And as the prince breaks through and gets closer to the fortress, the latter's hopes will grow greater......"

Even the most cautious and rational person, such as Sonia Sutherre, could not resist wavering when she saw that her hopes were growing and her chances of success were getting higher and higher. ”

Rumba's eyes showed an unprecedented desire for challenge, and his eyes focused on the Star Cross Double Star Banner of the Broken Dragon Fortress.

"Now it's up to our old adversary, the Flower of the Fortress, to decide. ”

"Sonia Sutherret. ”

"Will you send troops to rescue their only prince, or will you watch the heir of the stars be lost in battle?"

――――

"What's going on!" Sonia stood on the high fortress wall, watching the scuffle on the plain in the distance, gritted her teeth, and smashed her fist on the wall of the Broken Dragon Fortress: "Does Rumba want to openly kill His Highness here?"

"The besieging of the prince was only two thousand or three hundred light infantry, and with the presence of the Fury Guard, they might be able to withstand it for a moment. ”

"But the disparity in numbers is too great. Miranda observed the enemy situation in the plains and frowned, "The rest of the main forces of the Rumba are far away. If Baron Mu can break through with the prince and retreat at least some distance, we should have time to send a receiving force to tear through the encirclement of the light infantry and bring the prince back. ”

She turned her head and said to Sonya, "I can attack, and it takes a thousand men, including elites like the Starlight Guards who can break through enemy formations. ”

"The Starlight Guards can ride out on horseback, and the opponent is just some light infantry, if they only break through the blockade and rescue His Highness......"

"No!" Sonia looked angrily at the stalemate battlefield and said with difficulty, "The prince's mission is not his focus......"

"Send our only elite defenders to rescue the Prince...... That's what Rumba wants!"

"I can assure him that his cavalry is ready, galloping at all costs to intercept our receiving troops, and even to storm the gates of the fortress with crossbows and crossbows, regardless of casualties, and then press on the ...... in a big way."

"At the very least, we can wipe out our response troops......"

"If it is the former, then the fortress is in danger of falling, and if it is the latter, it can also greatly deplete the troops in the fortress, paving the way for his subsequent siege. ”

Sonia clenched her fists: "We will never do what the enemy thinks. ”

Miranda raised her eyebrows and was silent for a while.

The sound of fighting in the distance continued.

"But that's the second prince, and the only heir to the stars," Miranda thought for a while, and said silently, "If the fortress doesn't send troops, then he is likely to be lost in the battle array, and His Majesty's side ......." ”

Sonia gritted her teeth, closed her eyes and let out a long sigh: "This is the purpose of Rumba, he is waiting for my choice: the fortress and the prince's safety, military or political, he wants me to choose between the two." ”

"It's a very clear trap. ”

"It was already impossible for Rumba to take the fortress, but he found a chance...... Rumba's guts are beyond imagination!"

Miranda clenched the sword at his waist and looked up, "Maybe with Baron Mu's ability, when he breaks through, he can take the prince farther away, closer to us, or even to the cover of the fortress?"

"We'll try to get the prince as fast as we can, and get the prince safely ......before their follow-up troops arrive."

"Be careful!" Sonya's eyes snapped open, her eyes full of caution, "That's what Rumba wants us to think of - the fortress is our greatest reliance." He didn't know how much he longed for our troops to get out of the fortress and fall into the rhythm of his field. ”

"Everything he did was to successfully take down the Broken Dragon Fortress at the lowest cost!"

Miranda was stunned: "But does he really dare to make a bet on the crime of killing the Prince of Stars?"

――――

"What if the Star Prince really dies in the battle array?" Lord Tulha said hesitantly, looking at the battle in the distance, "anything is possible on the battlefield. ”

"Then see if the Goddess of the Sunset blesses us, and how loyal Sonia Suthreh is to the Bright Star Royal," Archduke Rumba said in a deep voice, "If we win this gamble, we will open the gates to the north of the stars, and if we lose...... Hum. ”

He didn't speak again.

"The life and death of the prince is probably not a matter of luck, but of our choice. Viscount Cambida mused:

"If Sutherley refuses to send an army, he would rather see their prince annihilated than hold the fortress...... Are we really going to kill all of the prince's legacy?"

"Not necessarily," Count Lewandowski shook his head, "We only sent light conscription infantry, and in terms of the current battle situation, the Star People can hold out for at least a quarter of an hour...... If that happens, it won't be too late for us to blow the trumpet and collect our troops. ”

"Then bring that prince in and tell him that everything just now, including so many dead people, was a misunderstanding?" replied Tulha with a frown.

Their Grand Duke lifted the reins and rode forward a few paces to see the situation more clearly in the distance.

"If Suther still can't shrink back," Archduke Rumba looked at the huge fortress with an indifferent face, "Then it doesn't matter. ”

"When the time comes," said Grand Duke Lombard, tightening the belt of his sword around his waist and inhaling a breath of winter, "we will slaughter everyone in the mission, leaving only that seven-year-old imp." ”

"And then ......"

"Everyone in the fortress will see how we stripped their only prince naked and tied it to the flagpole, and then attacked the fortress with their heirs...... See how much the morale of the people of the stars can withstand. ”

"Of course, whether it succeeds or not, the poor imp will survive and be sent to Longxiao City afterwards as a sign of our respect and loyalty to King Nunn. I will not be stained with the blood of the Shining Star Royals, a family whose blood has been riddled with curses and misfortunes since the days of the Empire. ”

In this case, as long as he does not die, the stars will only see the shame left on them by the prince, not the hatred that the Rumba family has formed with them. ”

When Tulha heard this, he couldn't help frowning deeply:

"He's just a seven-year-old. ”

The unsmiling Grand Duke of Rumba was silent for a moment.

The scene of his brother's fight when he was a child flashed through his mind.

But no one else knew what he was thinking.

The next moment, Charman Rumba raised his eyes and said coldly:

"He's a prince. ”

"From the moment a prince is born, it is impossible to have a "child" stage. ”

"It's their privilege and it's their price. ”

Tulha looked at the Grand Duke of Rumba in a daze, as if he wanted to say something, but finally lowered his head and sighed.

Only Viscount Kambida frowned:

"That boy will hate you, and wait until he is crowned king in the future......"

But he was interrupted by the Grand Duke.

"He's going to be scared of me!" said Rumba, in no uncertain terms:

"Even if he becomes the King of the Stars, wearing a crown of nine stars and holding the Staff of the Stars......"

"I will also make him remember today - the most humiliating, terrible, terrible day of his life!"

――――

"Boom!"

Gennard lifted his shield and struck a hammer with such force that he couldn't help but be short.

But the veteran cleverly took advantage of the situation, slashed the opponent's kneecap, and then killed the opponent when he fell to the ground.

But Jenard was then pierced through his left shoulder blade by a sword stabbed diagonally, and he withstood the pain and trembled and retreated from the second row.

However, the soldier who made up for it was obviously inexperienced, and as soon as he stepped forward, he was stabbed in the thigh with a sword.

Jenard gritted his teeth and gritted his enemy's sword to make the wounded comrade retreat.

The veteran sensed that the frequency of Exeter's light infantry was beginning to decline.

It seems that the time has come to break through.

Jenard sighed at this time.

On the battlefield, the first to die are the recruits with poor skills, and the surviving veterans are all shrewd and strong steel beings.

The next step is a tough battle.

"So, the key to the battlefield is in Sutherley's choice," Tails gasped at the center of the formation, and said to Putile, who nodded slightly, and Araka, who had a bloody face:

Whatever she chooses, Rumba should have her own strategy: capture the fortress, weaken the army, or humiliate me as a bargaining chip for the attack. ”

"How she chooses, we are all in a dilemma," Putile frowned, "These light infantry of the Rumba are enough to make us anxious - the soldiers will not hold out for long." ”

"If you have any ideas," Araka sneered as he looked at his dead and wounded subordinates around him, "It's better to say it before the Exeters chop us all into minced flesh and hang you up by the way." ”

Tails didn't care about Alaka's disrespect, he looked up and glanced at the Iron Fist banner of the Rumba family not far away.

He exhaled and said slowly, "Sonya's choice is a dilemma no matter what. ”

"So it's not up to her to make the choice. ”

Tails' eyes were cold, and he clenched his fists in the different expressions of Putile and Alaka.

"It's up to us to choose for Lord Sutherray. ”

to eliminate her hesitation and hesitation. ”

"Get ready to break out. The second prince said coldly.

Putile was slightly stunned.

Araka grinned.

――――

"It looks like they're going to start breaking through. Miranda looked at the battle situation in the distance and hesitated: "Really don't send troops to help?"

"Even if they really break out of the encirclement and get closer and closer to the fortress?"

Sonia closed her eyes in pain.

No way.

Guarding is my greatest duty.

I've already failed once...... I can't ...... again this time

"Nope. Sonia gritted her teeth and bowed her head, put her hands on the city wall, and said with difficulty: "It is impossible to rescue them with only a small number of troops, and if the elite is exhausted, it will be in the hands of Rumba." ”

"Defend our fortress...... Can't give him even the slightest chance. ”

"Your Majesty's side, I'll face it. ”

Miranda was silent, and there was silence on the city walls for a long time.

But the silence was soon broken.

The sound of killing in the distance was heard again.

"Sir!"

Miranda looked at the chaotic battlefield in the distance in shock: "They're starting to break through!"

"But it's strange......"

Miranda's face was full of disbelief.

Well?

Sonia opened her eyes in confusion.

――――

"Your Excellency!" Tulha anxiously rode his horse from a distance: "News from the light horse!"

"They're starting to break through!"

Grand Duke Rumba opened his eyes and looked at the flags of the two stars.

"Very well," he began, "now we'll wait for Sutherre......

Wait a minute.

Rumba narrowed his eyes.

Fluttering of the flag......

A little off.

He immediately noticed that something was wrong.

No way.

Grand Duke Rumba's eyes widened and he opened his mouth in surprise: "Is it ......?"

"Yes, my lord, our plans must be revised at once!" said Tulha nervously, aloud:

"And according to the return of the light horse, there is more than one accident!"

Rumba suppressed the annoyance in his heart and cast an inquiring look at Tulha.

Tuleha gritted his teeth on his horse and said, "There is another person with that prince. ”

The Grand Duke of Rumba frowned tightly and watched Tulha say something that made the surrounding vassals look abrupt:

"It's him!"

"It's that guy!"

"Take that bow!"

――――

Alaka grimaced, strapped Tails tightly to his back, clinging to his silver-black metal bow.

"Is it really safe to stay behind this guy?" Edda asked angrily, "I always feel like I'm unemployed." ”

Tails smiled at her, "Let's take a vacation...... Even the author has a time to break off. ”

"It's risky, it's a gamble," Putile said worriedly, "betting on the enemy's choice." ”

Tails took a deep breath and smiled at Putira:

"yes, this is my bet with Rumba. ”

"It's a 'don't you dare' game. ”

"Little Prince, I'll ask one last time," Araka, seeing that the Angry Guard soldiers in the first row were almost dead and wounded, Araka suppressed the anger in his heart and said coldly, "Are you sure you want to do this?"

"It's the only way. Tails smiled wryly.

Araka didn't speak.

"And are you really as good as the rumors," Tails gritted his teeth and lay on Alaka's back, adjusting his abdomen to match the big arch, and showed a forced smile, "Please prove it to me." ”

Araka remained silent.

Tails closed his eyes slightly, then opened them firmly, his gaze sharp:

"The Strongest Warrior ...... the Kingdom of the Stars"

"Araka Mu. ”

He exhaled softly, and exhaled loudly the name known to women and children on the stars:

"Kingdom Fury. ”

The moment he said this, the people in the predicament all looked awkward, as if even the surrounding atmosphere was different.

In the next second, Alaka turned his head and sneered at Tails:

"A long time ago, in a desperate situation, a bright star said to me......"

Tails couldn't help but be stunned.

Alaka pulled out his two-handed greatsword on the ground, threw out a sword flower, and stepped forward.

Putira, Wya, and Rolf followed behind them, either with resolute faces or worried.

Araka strode into the stirrups with fierce eyes.

Eda quickly leaned behind their horses.

Alaka continued to say coldly:

He said......"

"Since there is no way to go back. ”

"Why don't you go all out?"

Tails didn't react for a moment.

The next moment, Araka Mu, the man known as the wrath of the kingdom, rode his horse past his guards with a fierce face.

"Angry Guards, shock formation!"

The greatsword of Kingdom Fury, pointing at the Iron Fist banner flying high in the distance, roared loudly:

"Target - the North!"

"Let's go find Rumba!" (To be continued.) )
