Chapter Eighty-Eight: Old Friends Return
"General, someone is looking for you. "Xitu was discussing with several generals about the battle plan for defending the city, and a soldier came in from outside to report.
"Who?" said Hetu, who would come to him at this time.
"He didn't say it, he just said you need to meet with him. The soldier reported.
"Tell him to wait, and I'll come. After the soldier retreated, he pondered for a moment, and prepared to leave to meet him.
"On behalf of the city guard, the other party is afraid that the other party will not be good. The general at the bottom reminded.
Xitu pondered for a moment and nodded: "Well, I know, it's okay, don't worry, you discuss it first, I'll go back when I go." ”
With that, Xitu walked straight to the living room.
A man with a large hood stood in the living room, motionless.
"Hello?" said Hittu, standing behind him.
"Hello, Xitu, long time no see" The man turned around when he heard the voice, and lowered his hood so that Xitu could see his face.
"Moko, why are you here?" said Shetu looked at the man in disbelief, he stood there.
"What do you think?" Moko looked at Cetu meaningfully.
"I'm not going to surrender, you don't have to talk in vain, and Moko, I think you'd better not follow him anymore, he's wrong. Situ waved his hand, and then persuaded Moko.
Moko smiled and shook his head: "I knew that you would be like this, each for his own master, it's nothing, I also brought my words, since there is no possibility of reconciliation" Moko put his hood on and stretched out his right hand to Xitu, "See you on the battlefield." ”
Xitu hesitated, but still shook his hand and nodded: "See you on the battlefield." ”
After saying that, Moko was about to leave, but Xitu suddenly stopped him again: "Moko." ”
As soon as Moko turned around, Xitu hesitated and asked, "Where is Infeit with you?"
"Yes," Moko smiled.
"How did you get to trick him?" Xitu didn't quite understand, although the Emperor did deceive him, but he and Brint treated him like their own sons, and Infit shouldn't have rebelled when he said that he had rebelled.
"There's no need to lie, he used to be in the president's college, and his girlfriend is also the niece of the president, and he is about to talk about marriage, and Infeit is originally our person. Moko felt that it was not at all strange that Infeit came to the Western Army.
Xitu heard the problem, he was the last one to stay at the Royal University of Rent, after Brint looked for him, he also kept an eye on Infeit for a few days, he knew who he was with, Xitu suddenly smiled: "Infit's girlfriend is Siselt's niece? You mean Elsa?"
"yes," Moko was right, he didn't understand what Cetu was laughing at.
"See you on the battlefield" Cetu said again with a smile, and turned to leave the meeting room first, Moko was a little puzzled, but he didn't linger long, this time he was also asked to investigate the structure of the city, and judge whether it was appropriate to assassinate if necessary.
......
"How's that, what's his attitude?" Siselt knew that Moko was back, and he stepped out of the light and spread his hands at Siselt.
Sissel nodded, obviously having already guessed the result: "You go down." ”
"Yes," Moko saluted, turned and disappeared into the light again.
Siselt looked at the mapped topographic map presented by his subordinates for a moment, and he shouted, "Ed!"
"General, are you looking for me?" After a while, Ed walked into Siselt's room.
Sisselt nodded: "The terrain around Sok City is nothing special, most of it is flat, and it can only be broken head-on, what do you know about this city?"
Ed replied: " General, you also know that the general inner city does not have too strong defensive forces, but Sok City is different, this city is a central hub, it can directly lead to our southern and northern lines on both sides, the road is very flat, the army can arrive in a few days after it is issued, it is very suitable for supporting each other, in addition, Sok City itself is also heavily defended, this time, according to the insiders, the empire has temporarily sent additional manpower, plus Ubis and Mirren have not caught up with our progress, what we need to face is actually a joint operation between the three major cities, and the connection between these three cities is also called DecchimoreThe 'second gate' is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is a tough battle. ”
After hearing this, Siselt didn't have much change in expression on his face, and he asked again, "What is the armament in there?"
Ed recalled for a moment and said: "Xitu specially brought 20,000 imperial magic troops to support first, as far as I know, there should be three big nobles who have each been assigned to these three cities, if we can't take it quickly, it will be a protracted war, but we can't afford to delay." ”
Siselt nodded, pondering for a moment before asking, "Is it possible to end the battle as soon as possible if Moko's team were to carry out the assassination?" ”
Ed shook his head, he didn't agree with this plan: "I've also thought about this plan, but the structure of Soke City is more complicated, if you are a permanent resident, you can try it, it is easy to fall into the water (assassination exposure) when you just come, and moreover, Xitu's strength is relatively strong, this method is not easy to succeed, if we focus on studying assassination, it is a bit too desperate." ”
"Hmm~" Siselt nodded, he also felt that this method was not appropriate, he thought for a while, and then asked, "What do you think, how is the ninth team?"
Ed still disagreed: "General, the ninth team is the biggest trump card you use to fight against the empire, if you use it now, it will not be good for the future war." ”
Siselt groaned for a while, and in the end he didn't come up with a better solution, he told Ed to step back first, he needed to think again.
......
Infit was practicing magic in his own little library in Leibin City at this time, and when he knew that they were about to face Mr. Xitu next, he applied to come here first, he needed to slow down and adjust his mood, although he really didn't have to go to war, but this feeling of guilt and unreality was strange.
Infit tried to read the book as much as he could, trying to divert his attention, and suddenly, the chair opposite him moved, and someone sat across from him, and there was someone besides him who had this kind of leisure to read at this time.
"Hello, could you please change your position, I made an appointment. "Infeit didn't actually ask anyone to ask someone out, but he didn't want anyone to sit around him, and it was easy to mess up his mood.
"Have you made an appointment, how many friends do you have besides me?" a familiar voice came, and as soon as Infeit looked up, the dusty Polly was sitting across from him, looking at him with a smile.
Infeit stood up, stretched out her arms and gave him a big hug: "Finally, I hope you will come back." ”
Polly also hugged Infeit heavily.
The two sat down again, and Polly was draped in a burlap coat, a coarse linen scarf, and a large woolen hat, and his face, which had been white and tender, was now scruffy and much darker, and looked dirty and haggard.
"When did you arrive. Infit asked.
"Just this morning, I went to look for you but didn't find you, then I went to Moyt and Setisk and chatted for a while, and they said that you have been here for the past few days, and I will come. Polly said, leaning closer to Infeit and whispering, "What's the matter with Peele?"
Infit's expression was a little unnatural, and he leaned back in his chair: "They told you?"
"Well, don't blame him, in fact, Setisk didn't figure it out at first, it's just that Peel has a strong temperament, and he still thinks he is the second in the class, plus he just lost his whole family, how considerate and considerate you are to him. Polly said.
"It's okay, I know, but when it happened suddenly, I was a little panicked, so I had to do it, and as for what happened to him now, no one knows?" Infeit sighed.
"You've done a great job. Polly patted Infit, and suddenly, something came to his mind, and he sat down beside Infit, "Now many of the nobles who were previously imprisoned have been released, you know?"
"Well, I just knew. Infitra nodded.
"Do you know the criteria by which they were released?" Polly said.
Infit looked at him, and he felt something was wrong.
"The entire aristocracy has been released without escaping. Polly said solemnly.
Infit sat up suddenly: "What do you mean?"
"I suspect that in fact, most of the people who were arrested did not participate in the rebellion, but the emperor was put on a table by the Western Army, and now as soon as the news of your appearance in Mirren spreads, the nobles who did not escape from prison have basically been released and defected to the battlefield, and now these students and nobles who have defected to you, few of them have really been able to go to the battlefield, even if we still have the strength of Andorra, that is, a middle-level official position, but the Western Army will not believe us, in fact, those people are taken hostage. What Bo Li said to Infit in his ear made Infit suddenly at a loss and even more upset.
"As long as these students stay here, the empire will not trust their family, and they will always be locked up in the back mountain prison, which is equivalent to directly weakening the strength of the empire, even if they are released, they can also be used to blackmail the family, don't forget, most of these are the direct heirs of the family, there is only one per generation, if they are gone, the entire family will basically be extinct. Polly said a few more words.
"So what should I do, it was their choice at the time. "Infit was suddenly a little helpless.
"I didn't say it's your fault, I believe you, you should have been involved, I'm fine, I broke with the family a long time ago, but they are different, they don't know what their situation is now, and they must still trust their family more, in case the empire uses the family to recall them, the Western Army will definitely not let them, when the time comes, they can't find Prince, and the most hated person must be you." ”
Infit's eyes widened, he suddenly realized his possible future situation, those who did not escape from prison together must be enemies, and those who escaped from prison together may also become enemies, the person he loves does not know where he is now, and he still has to find time to deal with the one he doesn't love, and he may even be forced to get married, which is really a bit unpleasant.
Infeit sat blank with big eyes, his mind was blank, things were too complicated to deal with.
"Infit, while the Western Army's supervision of you is not strong now, we can try to escape back. ”
"No, it won't work, you can go back, I will never go back. Infeit said categorically.
"Why?" Polli was a little puzzled, could Infeit still have a nostalgia for something, Elsa?
Infeit paused for a moment and said, "The empire has a grudge against me for killing my father. ”
"I'm sorry I didn't say that. ”
"It's fine. ”
"I'll accompany you," Polly patted Infeit and said firmly.
"Thank you" Infeit shook Polly's hand, indeed, now it seems that Infeit has only one friend left.
Infeit thought of one thing: "Yours, that girl, is there a whereabout?"
Polly also got on the back of the chair, and after a long time, he said, "No." ”
A new chapter is presented, I hope you like it.
