Chapter 23 They want you by name
The castle of the valley station, which had been orderly and quiet, was now completely boiling, and the guards around Seser were all elites from the pigeon cage. A loud hunting horn resounded through the night sky. Infant White led a group of golden guards to the second floor of the castle, followed by General Liszt and the ambassador, Duke Tiwin.
They were all gathered in a stone hall with bowed columns on all sides. The stone hall was lit with hundreds of white candles, a few black iron swords and shields hung on the walls, and the fireplace was empty.
There was only one chair in the room, and Sether sat on it, and the rest of the people gathered around a hexagonal wooden table with a carved lion's serpent.
Liszt now changed his golden armor and put on the black iron armor of the Admiral of the Viaphant Kai and the blue lion robes, and the black iron army under his command was exactly the same as him.
"Your Majesty," said the infant in white gold armor and the helmet in one hand in his arms, "the Babylonian Guards of Moroch and the Phoenician Astal Wrath surrounded the castle of the Valley and slaughtered all the Jalal soldiers stationed on the plains. They cut off the heads of the dead and fired rockets into the castle. Because of the conscription system in Jalal, the soldiers of this country are all farmers in the neighborhood, and their families are nearby. There is not a single man among these military families, these Jalal civilians, who have not been slaughtered by the Moro Guards, and there is not a single woman who has not been humiliated by them. β
Everyone was silent, and she felt that this was the most terrible news she had ever heard.
It should be noted that the number of troops that could be fought at the valley station was originally about 600 people. Garrisoned near the castle and moat were partly the elite pigeon guards that Seiser had brought with him from Wissingham, and the other part was part of the coastal army under the command of Admiral Liszt, the commander-in-chief of the navy. The Jalal soldiers, who were originally guarding the local governor's palace of the Marquis of Falla, had been camped in the plains outside.
"But this is the castle where Wissingkai is stationed, and it is in the territory of Jalal, how dare the Babylonians?" asked Yin Xinmei in a low voice of disbelief.
"There is nothing the Babylonians would not dare to do, the military power of the Jarlal Kingdom is too weak, and it is all up to Wissingkai to get mixed up. Nebuja even dared me to do it, which means that there is nothing in the whole of Velogosa that he does not dare to do. Sether replied to her, he took the white steel spear and a silver two-handed greatsword inlaid with pebble-sized sapphires from a golden guard, and took out a silk handkerchief that emitted a faint fragrance to wipe the sword, "Originally, they may have been jealous of me, but I snatched you back from Nebuka's hands, how can he, a vengeful and vicious cobra, tolerate such a thing?" I know that the kingdom of Babylon has been secretly plotting to subvert the power of the VIAPHKAI Emperor for not a day or two, and they have been waiting for a golden opportunity. β
"Won't the League of Twelve punish Babylon?"
"The Twelve Nations Alliance is a useless waste agreement, Princess Hidden," General Liszt roared with every word, his mist, light-colored eyes glowing with rage all year round. Not only does he look down on me, but he looks down on all women. Yin Xin thought to himself, as soon as I came into contact with his eyes, I could feel his strong anger and contempt for women, "It was because of their disobedience and contempt that the first emperor sat on the throne of the emperor. VIAPHKAI's power has never come from allies. β
"But Wilphkai needs allies," Sether interrupted General Liszt, "without allies, my throne is a stinky, loud fart." Liszt, after hearing that you came, almost half of the servants in the Golden City, can you be so efficient without the recommendation of the old bustard? β
"Such an ally is a fart to me, Your Majesty," Liszt laughed, "and I have never done it alone with a gun. β
"How many troops are left?" the Emperor asked.
"Two hundred Black Iron Army. Liszt said.
"The Golden Guard is two hundred and eighty men. "All the 120 men under Falla have been wiped out, and the four battalion doctors, all women, have been insulted to death. Prince Waner placed their corpses under the moonlight on the plains, put on makeup, and dressed in a sheer gauze skirt for the entire team of Moro Guards to enjoy as a final touch. β
"You should be glad you weren't there. Liszt said in a rough voice to Yin Xinmei.
"I've heard that the Moro Guards don't spare even men," she sneered, "and you guess they're going to put that makeup on you?"
Liszt erupted in a series of terrible blasphemous curses that even Seser could not listen to.
"Don't insult the Hidden Lotus, don't insult the King of Eternity," Hidden Eyebrows pulled out the bloodstained dagger from behind his waist and threw it on the table with a thud, "Otherwise, how I chop Falla, I will chop you, and it will probably not be the same part." β
Liszt's eyes were about to burst open, and seeing that he was about to pounce on him and choke Yin Xinmei's neck, Sesher let out a cry of rage.
"Enough!" said the Emperor, "if you have the energy to fight before me, it is better to save it against the Babylonians and the Fenikians." Now whoever interrupts the privy councillor's briefing, I will slaughter him. You said the Finnekee Astajiao Fury is here too?"
"I'll never be mistaken, the Finicky Siren flag, and the shark knife they used to skin people, and I could see the cold light of the knife in the moonlight two miles away. Infant White shook his head sadly, and turned to look at the hidden eyebrows, "I'm afraid your fiancΓ©'s life will be difficult." β
Hidden eyebrows suddenly turned earthy, and before they could answer, they heard a rush of footsteps, only to see Remassa and Count Gwen come to the stone hall, Hidden Eyebrows had already planned to reconcile with him, and was just about to go up to greet him, but saw Sweet Girl following closely behind Remassa.
Yin Xinmei suddenly bit her lip, and made up her mind not to look at him again. Remassa gave Sweet Girl a command, and the latter left, so he walked in and stood next to Hidden Eyebrows.
She immediately pulled away, her eyebrows were furthest from the emperor, and the two of them were separated by a table, but now she simply stood on Sether's right hand.
Remassa's face turned pale.
"I just climbed the battlement," he tried to retract his thoughts from the Hidden Eyebrow, resisting the urge to take her shoulders and explain everything to her, "the thirty cavalry I brought with me were all non-Nikitians taken prisoner, and Captain Sargassum, who never slept at the Viaphant Quarters at night, because he said he hated the people of the Twelve Kingdoms, even the Viaphers who had signed the Two Lions Agreement. β
"This sentence would have caused trouble, but Crown Prince Morris," Duke Tiwin did not forget to spray his perfume even in such a desperate situation, and his golden curls were covered with a lot of powder, "Today is a special time, and I am afraid that your fate is irreparable." β
"It's not irretrievable," Infant continued, "three of the Morris had been skinned by the Phenekees, and Luvand found these three poor fellows outside the gates of the castle in the valley, and they were dead. The captain wasn't dead, he was swearing too loudly, and he had been tied with his hands and dropped under the finicky Siren flag. I guess the reason why the six-fingered sea demon Bolong hasn't killed him until now is because he intends to make his skin into boots and roast his meat into fodder for Prince Wan'er's henchmen Beartooth and his people, and all this will have to be done in the middle of the day when the sun is shining to get the most satisfying and bloody visuals. β
"Bear Teeth?" asked in a trembling voice, "He's here?"
"He didn't come, and that's what I think is strange and lucky, maybe it's a good thing that you let him go. Infant Shiro looked into her eyes, "He should be there, because the Babylonian Moro Guard is personally commanded by the 'Poison Arrow' Prince Waner, who is Nebugar's cousin, and Beartooth is the deputy commander of the Moro Guard, as well as the chief of the sacred cow." β
"So, the animals are starting to play politics, too, aha?" said Liszt, sneering.
"Sacred cows are not domestic animals, they are human beings, they eat human flesh, drink human blood, and all of them have sharpened gold teeth in their mouths. Infant Zhibai said these words that made everyone present creepy, "As long as you go on the expedition, where there is Prince Waner, there must be bear teeth, and this time he did not appear, I can only say that it is a blessing in misfortune." β
"I thought the sacred cows were extinct hundreds of years ago, but I didn't expect them to be alive. "And he took refuge in Babylon Nibugar." There's no worst, there's just a worse. β
Remembering that when she was in the Goddess Pool, the King of Babylon had said that he had made his previous spice merchant into fodder and fed it to the sacred cow, but she didn't expect to throw it to the cannibals for lunch, and her stomach suddenly churned.
"I've heard of this 'six-fingered sea devil' Bo Long," Remassa said, "Bo Long's hands and feet are six fingers, not only skinning, but also Ling Chi's execution. The longest record is that the person who was skinned by Bolong lived for three days, while the person who was killed by him was cut by more than 4,000 knives before dying. β
"'Poison Arrow' Wan'er and 'Six Fingers' Bolong didn't collude together on the first day. Although these two countries belong to the Twelve Alliances, one believes in the god Moro, who worships infant sacrifice, and the other believes in the goddess Austa who believes in temple spring sacrifice, sooner or later, they will stir up the world as much as it wants. Sether whispered, but every sentence was like a hammer on the chest, "This raid is just the beginning. β
"I'm going to save the captain, he's been with the Morris family for years, he's so loyal, I can't leave him behind. Count Gwen looked at Emperor Sether, "We must rescue them, the Morris need the help of Weishengkai, we must unite again by force, Your Majesty!"
"Not only the captain, but the rest of the twenty-seven Morris cavalry who are alive for the time being, I am going to bring them back. Remassa said.
"The Viaphants are not going to be stupid enough to turn away their allies at this time, the enemy has put a knife down our throats," Sether replied immediately, "Babywhite, how many men are there, what do they want?"
"The combined strength of the Moro Guardian and the Astajiao Fury is at least two thousand. "In addition, there is a banner I have never seen before, embroidered with two busts embracing each other, but I don't see any troops under this banner, except for a pair of young men and women." β
"This banner is called the Twin Flags, and the pair of young men and women are collectively called the Twin Stars of Bliss," Count Gwen smiled with an incredulous wry smile, "It seems that the Marquis of Juwenxi is also here, and those twin stars are his adopted sons and adopted daughters." Unexpectedly, this filthy Essieah also took refuge in the king of Babylon. β
"Misfortune doesn't come alone, doesn't it? It should be slaughtered when it should be slaughtered, and it should be done when it should be done. Liszt sneered and said to Gwen, "I thought all men in the world understood this truth." β
The Count was so absorbed in his own thoughts that he ignored Liszt.
The disparity in forces is too great, and we will die a terrible death. Hidden eyebrows.
It seemed that the same thought was spinning in the minds of not only her, but everyone, and she could read the phrase "dead" from almost everyone's expressions.
"What do they want?" Seser repeated.
Infant Zhibai pursed his lips and didn't answer, just glanced at Yin Xin's eyebrows.
She understood it immediately.
"They want me. Yin Xinmei replied hoarsely.
"Yes. For the first time, Infant White's voice showed fear, "They want you by name, and not only that, but they also want us to hand over the blood diamonds." β
Everyone stared at her, no one spoke, including Sether and Remassa, and the hidden brow could tell from the suppressed eyes of both of them that if she could hear them, the roars of the two would surely shatter all the glass in the room.
The shrill screams of a man cut through the dead silence again, followed by shameless laughter and the woman's pleas and cries for mercy. At last, a low, wild man-like roar seemed to shake the castle of the valley station, the sound barely human, more like the roar of a beast, but the voice was speaking a language she had never heard before, a language that was creepy, with a volley of screams, a grim moan, and a few, uh-uh-gut.
At the time of this voice, the Grim Reaper seemed to descend on the stone hall, and everyone's neck seemed to be choked by a huge black claw.
"What is this thing talking about?" the voice finally ended, and Liszt's teeth chattered, and at this moment he was so frightened that he had forgotten to feign composure.
"This is the language of the Sacred Cow, one of the oldest and most evil ancient languages of Velogosa," Seser whispered, looking at him in surprise with a hidden eyebrow, she had long known that the Emperor was proficient in ancient languages, but she didn't expect to be so proficient in this way. "The meaning of those words just now is to hand over the hidden eyebrows immediately, we want her, otherwise I hope that your corpses will be separated, and your skin and flesh will be separated. β
"No!" cried Remassa, "I will not allow it. β
"And I will not allow Captain Sargassum, the Morris cavalry, all of you here, and your soldiers to be skinned by them, or fodder to feed the sacred cows. The lips of the hidden eyebrows were pale and bloodless, "After being rescued by His Majesty from the Goddess Pool, I knew that this day was inevitable. This is fate, and it has no reason or humanity at all. β
Yin Xinmei retrieved the bloodstained dagger on the table and inserted it back into his waist, turned around and walked out.
"Where are you going?" exclaimed Sether, rising from his chair.
"Go to the battlement," Yin Xinmei didn't look back or stop, leaving only the voice echoing in the air, "they want me, I'll show them myself, and it's up to them whether they can get it or not." β
