Chapter 154: Another Parting
The timely arrival of Situ finally relieved Brynt, and he had regained the news with Situ a few days ago, but in order to avoid the pursuit of the orcs, they spared a lot of roads, and they were on the eastern front, or they could only go around the Mingbo Penza or a wasteland off the coast if they didn't go back to the western front through the Resha River.
Mingbo Penza's position was unclear, and Xitu did not dare to take this risk, so they chose the farthest and the least number of eastern cities captured by the orcs along the way.
Brint originally estimated that they were still a few days away, and in the past few days, Brint had been preparing to temporarily avoid the edge, and if he could defend it, he would let the battle line retreat if he couldn't hold it, even if the final camp was under the wall of Panmuminda.
But the Thunder Fire Lion Ace Army was directly ruthless, they worked in pairs at night, taking turns to carry them on their backs, and one person rested a little on the other's back for a while, so day and night, they rushed for three days and three nights, and finally caught up at a critical juncture.
Rushed over and didn't rest, Xitu saw the huge Hell Iron Cavalry and immediately knew that the battle situation was not good for the Empire, and only his own troops could resist the charge of the Elder Iron Cavalry, and the Bright Demon Guard Cavalry also had this strength, but I don't know why, they set off from Venlo City very early but never arrived.
Now, the Thunder Fire Lion and the Hellhoof have launched a frantic battle, and the two armies are fighting, one side is thick and the armor is heavy, and the other is thunder and fire, and they are comparable for a while.
"Lut" Sisselt heard the news of the total annihilation of the enemy army in the Resha River, thinking that this time the orcs had directly solved the two forces of the empire, and now the sudden appearance of the Thunder Fire Lion Ace Army disrupted his plan, and he wanted to quickly take Pan Muminda and then take advantage of the blockage of the northern front to return to the capital, and his plan to capture Krent in one fell swoop failed.
Root didn't seem to notice Siselt's cold gaze: "The Thunder Fire Lion was not in the Hot Sand River at the time, and the Wind Bird was all wiped out, and I emphasized with Tan Shark that he may have been negligent in reporting" Anyway, I don't know who delivered the news now.
"Hmph" Siselt flicked his sleeves, now that the imperial army has the Thunder Fire Lion, the strengthening of the offense and defense is not a little bit, he knows that Brynt has many large legions and tactics that are designed around the Thunder Fire Lion.
"Gather the troops! Re-study the tactics," Sisselt said and went straight back.
Nainko had exhausted herself from providing blessings to the soldiers for a long time, and sat on the throne of the Divine Tree as much as she could.
No one cared about him, as soon as the order to collect troops came out, all the troops and soldiers immediately retreated, no one was in love, even if the next sword enemy was about to hit the ground, he immediately collected his sword and withdrew, without a little hesitation, they were just on guard whether the enemy would catch up.
The Western Army has such a strong execution, if it were not for the enemy, any general would be amazed when he saw it, and the previous defeat was not without reason.
Reidman, Griffin, and Eddard also quickly left the battlefield, and none of them disobeyed the order.
Xitu watched Ed retreat, said two disgusting words, and did not chase after him, but turned around and walked towards the Imperial army.
On the battle platform, Xitu knelt on one knee: "The subordinates did not do well, did not hold the Resha River, and came to confess"
Brint looked at Xitu, now he finally has a little bottom in his heart, this battle is no longer so difficult to fight: "Thunder Fire Lion rescued the whole army from fire and water, there is merit, merit can be attributed, forgive, get up"
"President Xie" Xitu stood up and walked to the side of the Dark Fang, standing in the first row behind Brint.
"Collect the troops!" Brint issued the last order on the battlefield today, on the whole, today's result is acceptable to the empire, although the number of dead soldiers may be several times that of the other side, this is the gap between the overall army, this kind of war, in the end, is the elite.
......
Infit slowly woke up, and beside his bed, stood Xitu.
"Teacher?" Infeit thought he was dreaming, the news of the total annihilation of the Imperial Army on the Eastern Front had spread throughout the Western Army Alliance very early, and Infeit also knew that he thought that Xitu was dead.
"I didn't expect it, the old man I'm still alive," Xitu said with a smile, "I heard that you kid in Soke City spared my life last time, old man, I'm here to thank you" Xitu made a gesture to kneel.
"Don't don't, teacher, I was angry with Your Majesty before, and I was deceived, so I defected to the Western Army, which caused a lot of trouble to the empire, I am already very guilty, and it is a little compensation for me to save you at that time" Infeit hurriedly wanted to pull Xitu up.
"You kid still have a conscience," Cetu stood up and punched Infit, "why didn't you say that to Brin?
Infeit was silent for a while, he wanted to say this, but as soon as he saw Brin when he saw him, he couldn't say anything, and he didn't even want to say it.
"Are you still blaming him for not being able to save you?" said Citu.
"No," Infeit whispered back.
"Actually, the president has no choice, he was called by the empire in the middle of the winter vacation, and began to prepare for war, people in Pan Mumingda, you had already escaped when she heard the news that you were arrested, the teacher still returned to the imperial capital overnight, entered the holy palace and had a big fight with His Majesty, let me tell you, knowing that you appeared on the southern front after the news that Sword helped Mirren break the formation, the president couldn't sleep all night, your defection really hurt him, in fact, you just need to wait a few more days, you can come out, many people are protecting you" Hittu said to Infeit earnestly.
Infeit was silent, and after a while, he said: "Actually, I don't have much help for this war, and now Siselt can still suppress my divine endowment, I'm completely useless, the empire and the Western army, I go the same everywhere." โ
"Nonsense! You are the future for the Empire!" Xitu suddenly became a little angry, Infeit raised his head blankly, looked at him, Xitu sighed, and said, "The empire has been hit hard this time, even if you can defeat the Western Army, it will take at least a hundred years of cultivation, and in these hundred years, it will depend on you, especially you and Philina, to cooperate with the prince to defend this country, and your importance to the empire is far from comparable to the value that Siselt wants."
When Infeit heard Xitu's words today, he finally strengthened his own position - I am the future of the empire.
"Alas, although it is taboo to say this now, but... If the empire is really gone, you, and the most important person to rebuild the empire, will carry a heavier burden on your body than anyone else," Xitu hesitated for a moment and said.
Infeit was a little at a loss for a moment, and he suddenly had the feeling that he wanted to do something but didn't know what to do to be worthy of the burden on his shoulders.
"Kid, study hard, watch well, practice magic well, this is the most important thing you should do now" Xitu patted Infit, and threw two small potions to Infeit as he left.
"Drink one for yourself, bring the other bottle to Philina, you don't have to worry about the others" Xitu came out of the camp, Infeit almost forgot, Xitu is still a potions master, but unfortunately the bottle of elixir, Infeit touched the position of his heart.
......
"Now, the addition of the Thunder Fire Lion is very bad for us, and our scouts have not found out where the Light Demon Guards from Venlo City have gone so far, and our people within the empire do not know their whereabouts, what is possible Brin is planning" In the post-war seminar, Sisert was talking.
Nainko sat in front of her head, but she didn't have the right to speak at all, and Siselt, who sat on her right hand, basically presided over the entire meeting.
"It's really not appropriate to attack quickly now, but we still have more elite troops than the other side, and we can grind, even if he is strong, he fights high-intensity every day, and carries most of the offensive and defensive burdens every day, and they will always have a tired day," Deinvi said.
"But if our attack becomes slow, it is to give the other side a chance, and the empire can wait for the support of the nobles and orcs such as Sbuchi on the northern front to fight us in a complete way" Ed did not agree with Dinvi's idea.
"Can you use space magic to carry out surprise attacks, like I did in Annan City" Bwynette looked at Siselt, and the crowd looked at him.
"Do you think it would be useful to use the same tactics against Brin?" said Siselt knew his old comrade too well.
The meeting fell into an awkward silence.
"Otherwise, we'd better wait, wait for the Holy Bishop's support to arrive, and then think about a strategy, and don't overwhelm the pace of the attack these days, so that the Empire can see it and cache their forces," Moko said.
Sissell thought about it, and now he could only see how much support that idiot could bring to himself: "Well, that's it, Your Royal Highness, do you have anything else to say"
Nainko smiled and shook her head at Siselt, the tiredness in her eyes hard to hide.
"Everyone is on duty normally, and the meeting is dismissed"
"Princess Wan'an, President Shuai Wan'an" Everyone retreated, and Na Yinke also went back.
Siselt was still thinking alone, he didn't have powerful hole cards, but some knives can only be pulled out once, and if they can't be inserted into the heart, the knife will be useless.
......
It was already late when Infeit returned to his camp, he and Firina flirted with each other, and walked all the way back, Filina's strength was somewhat damaged, her magic energy was endless, and only the wood master and disguise remained, Na Yinke should now be the two gods of life and wood master, in addition to this, Filina felt that the speed of her magic improvement had slowed down.
Everything was normal when Na Yin Ke couldn't practice before, but since Infeit saved her, Na Yin Ke and Firina are living together, the two of them are sharing their practice, and the speed of improvement is very fast, and now after stripping each other, Firina has returned to the cultivation speed that was only one or two times faster than her peers at the beginning.
It's still fast, but not so fast, normal people still look jealous, but for Filina, it's uncomfortable, just like a person who has always scored 100 points in the magic theory exam can only score 50 points at once, even if the second place is only 25 points, it's not that she can't be happy.
That's why Infeit can understand why Na Yin can be promoted to six stars in three years in the space-time cave, and the monsters are all monsters in their eyes, which turns out to be the result of Filina's own base plus joint practice.
When he arrived at the tent, Setiske came out with things big and small on his back, bumped into the two of Infit, looked at them, said nothing, turned and left.
"Setiske, Setiske" Infit called twice without responding, he and Filina looked at each other, quickly chased after him, and grabbed him, "Where are you going?"
"Let go of me," Setiske shook Infeit away.
"What's wrong with you?" Infit didn't know where she had provoked him.
Setisk looked back at him and sneered: "What's wrong with me? You ask me what's wrong, I'm happy, can't I be happy, I'm back in the Empire, I'm so happy, you're happy too, aren't you?"
"Setiskโ" Infeit said.
"Infit!" Setisk looked at him suddenly, his eyes bloodshot, and the anger in his face could not be concealed, "I'm back in the Empire, I'm coming back in circles, yes, I'm back, but your baby Fei is still with you, what about me! I'm already with Lenira, we're all right, just because of this broken war, just because I'm a student in the preparatory class, just because of you!"
Setisk pointed at Infit: " My parents are dead, you know, in a small village on the edge of Dominstar City conquered by the Western Army, I didn't tell you, how busy you are, you have to listen to the Pershumi general Philina, you have to deal with Elsa, you have to learn the war of the Western Army to have a role after returning to the Empire, you think very thoughtfully, do you want to come back when you defect, then you just tell Peel, you tell him, don't worry Peel, Lao Tzu will take you back to the Empire, because Lao Tzu is Infit, Lao Tzu is the future of the Empire!"
Setisk pointed at Infit and yelled, the tents around them were dark, and no one paid attention to them.
"Setiske, Infeit is also a victim, he was also deceived, and besides, this path is your own choice, you can't blame others" Filina saw that Infitt didn't fight back, and scolded Setisk with her head down, a little unable to see it, so she rushed up and pushed him away.
"Hehe, yes, I can't blame others, just blame me for being greedy for life and afraid of death, blame me for everything, I can't choose to live, if I choose to live, I deserve death, it's because I'm not loving Lenella enough, hehe, I can't figure it out, didn't Infit also leave you behind, and the princess of the people, now the princess of the empire has been involved for a while, how can you forgive him, you love him very deeply" Setisk mocked strangely.
Firina also wanted to say that Infit stopped him, he had actually guessed a lot when he saw Setiske's performance throughout the day, and this moment would come after all, Infit raised her head: "I don't want to see you on the battlefield." โ
Setisk looked deeply at Infit for a few seconds, then turned around and continued to carry his luggage: "Don't worry, can I go back to the Western Army with such a life-sparing person, I won't be able to go to the battlefield if I go, after all, I am not the future of the Western Army"
"Where?" called Infit at his back.
"Find a home," Setisk said and disappeared into the night.
"Infit" Filina looked at the sad Infit, wanted to comfort but didn't know what to say, behind them, Andorra, Polly, as well as Lazido and Moit, they watched silently, and no one could persuade him.
"I'm fine, go to bed early" Infit squeezed Filina's hand, as if she was afraid she would slip away.
A new chapter is presented, I hope you like it.
