Assassin’s Chronicle

Chapter 561: A helpless choice

Views:

People always use ten-mile battalions to describe the number of armies, including the Death Roar Legion, the Shield of Light Legion, the Blacknia City Border Guards under Beeri, and the Sand Sand Army under the control of Jumokosha, as well as the Holy See The holy knights and druid warriors, combined, have formed a company that exceeds a hundred miles. Beeri adopted the strategy of besieging three ques and giving up the east gate of the Diamond City. This was the basic tactic of siege. As long as Edward VIII left the Diamond City, no matter how big the world was, there would be no place for Edward VIII. The ground is gone. Moreover, this allowed the concentration of troops, but the defenders did not dare to take it lightly. Regardless of whether there was any movement at the east gate, a large number of troops must be left behind to prevent any eventuality.

There is a huge difference in strength between the two sides in this offensive and defensive battle, but the top powerhouses gathered here, which can be regarded as a grand event. Beeri, Sol, Stig, Sean, Dalma Wangsha, Mang Shu, Bu Zureiano was there, and Miocic, who was responsible for attacking the Eastern Province of the Flash Sand Empire, also led the Holy City Guards to the city. Together with the three masters of the undead hidden in the dark, An Fei and others, It is said that Phillip also came with West. The combination of these top powerhouses is enough to change the color of heaven and earth!

But Beeri was not in a hurry to attack the city. What Yoland wanted was occupation, not destruction. He wanted to use clever methods to occupy the Diamond City. The key place was not Beeri, but the Diamond City. An Fei's subordinate, Little John, has become a general, and has also taken the initiative to launch attacks. He has made several sneak attacks on the baggage troops of the Death Roaring Legion. He has won repeated battles and won the trust of Edward VIII. Of course, it was impossible for Edward VIII to entrust his destiny to a strange young man. He only appointed Little John as the deputy commander of the South City. The commander was the Marquis of the Rhine. However, the Marquis of the Rhine's military talents could no longer be used inferiorly. To describe it, but there is none at all, not to mention that he is not interested in dispatching troops and generals. When the time comes, he will be satisfied with his share of the credit.

Little John gradually took control of the South Gate, which was just one factor. Dog Mingzhe had sneaked into the city two days ago. He was once the chief court mage and had a high prestige among the court mage group. If he could instigate some magicians to rebel, the mage tower that Edward VIII relies on for self-protection would be unable to exert its full power. . Without the protection of the mage tower. Edward VIII was left to his own devices.

Many middle- and lower-level officers of the Mayo Empire felt regretful. In their view, they had to go forward, go through a battle of iron and blood, and finally break through the Diamond City and capture Edward VIII alive. This is an epic war, but it is a pity that the resistance of the Shansha Empire is weak. It's like an adult bullying a child. There are some flaws. But for Beieri, the weaker the resistance of the Shansha Empire, the happier he is. The intense years of his ambition have long passed. He does not need to prove himself by fighting, he only needs to win in the end.

Ironically, Julande and the Holy See publicly accused Edward VIII of collaborating with the necromancers, and Dog Mingzhe wanted to convince the court mages. This is also an important weight. But An Fei was staying in the same tent with Blufield at the moment, reading Morgan's letter carefully.

No matter what kind of civilization. As long as there is a ruling class, it is bound to find ways to control the emotions and behaviors of the people, fool or even castrate the people's spirit, and complete the dual rule of mind and body. Although Julande is a wise king, he is no exception in this regard. The means It is necessary, but the wise ruler's means are relatively gentle, and the tyrant's means are relatively cruel, that's all. Before the people's humanistic spirit awakens, the ruling class cannot be eliminated and can only be overthrown. Then new interest groups will become a new generation of rulers, reusing the former's methods and the blood shed by generations of people in order to survive. , consolidating the rights and status of new rulers from generation to generation. An Fei thinks that Yolande's approach is normal. There is no humanistic spirit in this magical continent. Let alone here, even in his original world, it is difficult for the humanistic spirit to find suitable soil for survival at first. In the end, the man who created the United States This great man did not want his descendants to shed blood again. He stopped the military rebellion, eliminated the possibility of dictatorship, formulated a constitution, restricted the power of leaders, and transformed the ruling class into a management class. Eight years later, he resolutely retreated. , gave up all power so that he could not protect his descendants, but he protected thousands of Americans. Personal property is sacred and inviolable. This basic requirement was first fulfilled by Americans.

An Fei slowly closed the letter: "Go back and tell Master Morgan, I understand."

"Sir, the Skeleton Throne is about to be completed, and our time... is running out." Blufield reminded softly.

"Didn't Master Morgan say there is still half a year?" An Fei smiled: "After capturing the Diamond City, I will not participate in the next war. I have some vague impressions of my childhood life, and I should be able to find it. "

"The Ellison Empire has become a mess after knowing that Mr. Beeri surrounded the Diamond City. Master Gorman will be assisting then. Are you really not going to participate?" Blufield was a little surprised. . After capturing the Diamond City, the troops of the Mao Empire do not need to return home to rest. Autumn is here, and a large number of nobles from the Shansha Empire have been killed and deposed. The income from the inspections plus the taxes in the autumn will be enough to feed hundreds of thousands of troops next spring. The Allison Empire launched an attack simultaneously with the Mao Empire's Northern Army in two ways. The Allison Empire was doomed to fail, but it was hard to guess how long it would take. It could be said that this credit was earned in vain.

"If nothing else happens, after the Diamond City is captured, His Majesty will recall Chris Ding back." An Fei said slowly.

Blufield was stunned for a moment, and understood what An Fei meant, and also vaguely figured out the attitude An Fei wanted to express. Only when Chris Ding was there, An Fei would bring mercenaries to help. If Chris Ding was not there, An Fei would Leave immediately.

"His Royal Highness Chris Ding's reputation is getting higher and higher. Your Majesty should let him go with the army to attack the Allison Empire, right?" Unless His Majesty has decided to choose Chris Ding. An Fei stretched: "Otherwise...just for balance, he will not let Chris Ding participate in the battle again." "

"This is His Majesty's family matter, we should not interfere." Blufield smiled.

An Fei glanced at Blufield: "Haha...yeah." He understood Blufield's hint. As soon as Chris left, he immediately chose to leave. It seemed like a threat, but after a long time He knew that Julande was not the kind of person who liked to be suspicious of his subordinates. Philip repeatedly undermined Julande's arrangements, and Julande never did anything to Philip. This was a strong proof.

Brufeld shrugged. He believed Anfei understood, but he insisted on his own opinion and he couldn't say much.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward. After all, they turned out to be enemies. Just a dozen days ago, Brufeld was running around plotting against An Fei. Now they have become partners. This feels weird.

Blufield coughed lightly and broke the calm: "My lord, I will take my leave then. It would be very bad for you to stay here for a long time and for people to discover my identity. This letter... I will give it to you." Master Thor."

"Don't worry, no one dares to be careless about such an important matter."

Blufield nodded and slowly exited the tent. Susanna lifted the curtain, walked out of the inner tent, and asked curiously: "What were you talking about just now?"

"My original plan won't work anymore." An Fei showed a helpless smile.

"What plan? Why didn't you tell me?"

"It's useless to tell you." An Fei shook the letter in his hand: "The Skeleton Throne is almost completed, and Minos I will be reborn on the Skeleton Throne! All of us must unite and fight with Minos Otherwise, this continent will become a paradise of the undead, and even the three great masters of the undead will be afraid... You can imagine what kind of world it is." An Fei originally knew how powerful Minos I was, but he didn't What a specific concept, but after becoming a collaborator with Gorman, he learned a lot. It was not only the three masters of the undead who were afraid, but also An Fei. The most ridiculous thing is that Gorman actually put his hope in the imaginary saint, hoping that An Fei could find the saint first and not wait until Minos I devoured a large number of undead creatures before taking action. By then it was already too late. .

"If the top experts on the continent can unite, no matter how powerful Minos I is, he will not be our opponent!" Susanna said in a confident tone.

"I hope so." An Fei smiled and took Susanna's hand, held Susanna on his lap, and then looked at Susanna quietly.

Susanna's heart suddenly beat wildly. She clearly saw a trace of reluctance, a trace of attachment, and a deep helplessness in An Fei's eyes. It was as if An Fei was saying goodbye to her. Su Shanshan's voice involuntarily became trembling. : "Anfei... Anfei, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay." An Fei smiled: "I was thinking... we should have a child."

"Are you telling the truth?" Susanna asked in surprise, ignoring what it meant.

"Of course it's true." An Fei's hand gently stroked Susanna's waist. He was really helpless. The world was unkind and regarded all things as stupid dogs. He was afraid of that situation. He didn't want to become a person without any emotions. existence, to the point of extremely rejecting his own entry into the realm, but now, he has to pursue entry into the realm, just to fight against the extremely powerful Minos I. He can't find the so-called saint, but he can make himself a saint. At least this is a hope.
