The night was already very deep, but the lights in the command post of Thor Fortress were still bright. General Keenst stood in front of the operational military map and pondered. Since General Orlando left, the orc offensive has become weaker and weaker, and the garrison of Thor Fortress no longer even needs magic. With division support and no need for frequent defense changes to maintain combat effectiveness, it is easier to annihilate all the orc attacking troops under the city wall.
General Keenst has been in the Thor Fortress for ten years. In fact, he was not very willing when he first came. The reason was that he competed with Orlando and others for the position of leader of the Royal Knights, but unexpectedly lost. Later, he learned that Orlando had been blessed by the God of War. Keenst He knew that as long as Orlando was around, he would never get ahead in the imperial capital, so he had no choice but to choose the Thunder God Fortress, because if he didn't come here, he would have to go to the Sea Breeze City in the south to enjoy the sea breeze. At least in the Thunder God Fortress, every year There will be wars to fight, no matter how big or small, and perhaps we can slowly accumulate merit. But in Seawind City, is it possible that we really have to go out to sea to catch pirates
Now the orcs are attacking in a big way, but they let Orlando leave the Thor Fortress when they are about to retreat. Doesn't this leave all the credit to Kyenst himself? Therefore, with the acquiescence of Kyenst, the news of General Orlando's departure Not only was it not kept secret, but it was slowly spread throughout the Thunder God Fortress late that night. Kyenst's intention was very simple, which was to take sole responsibility for defeating more than 300,000 orcs. Now that the king was in trouble, Luke, who had always been good with Orlando, came to power. , if Kyenst doesn’t make some achievements, he will really have to retire in the north.
Kyenst looked at the map hanging on the wall with great satisfaction, and secretly calculated in his heart that the orcs had lost more than 300,000 yuan so far, and there were still many elites left, but Kyenst believed that even the vulgar orcs would not take it. All the military power in their hands is lost here, otherwise how can their rulers continue to maintain their rule? Maybe in a few days, they can wait until the orcs retreat, and then Jienst can send out his 10,000 heavy cavalry, and fiercely attack Charge through and expand your record,
"Report, Adjutant Hans is asking for a meeting." The voice of the soldiers outside the door interrupted Kyenst's thoughts. Kyenst was still very satisfied with his adjutant and immediately said: "Let him come in."
The door was pushed open, and Hans strode in. Keenst looked at him and said, "It's so late, what can I do?"
Hans replied: "General, of course there are a lot of things. Now it has spread throughout the Thor Fortress, and General Orlando has"
"Shut up." Kyenst shouted to stop Hans. He walked to the door and said to the guard guarding the door: "It's getting late. You go and rest first. You are not needed here."
"But" a guard said embarrassedly,
"This is an order." Kyenst's tone was quite firm. He looked at the guard guarding the door with majestic eyes, letting the latter swallow all the difficulties.
After all the guards outside the command post left, Kyenst gently closed the door, walked to Hans's side in a few steps, and said with concern from an elder to a younger generation: "Hans, you have been with me for seven or eight years, right?" , why do you still speak so carelessly about the occasion and propriety? The matter of General Orlando leaving can be passed down below, but you, I and others must not talk about it, otherwise we will be unable to escape the involvement once it is traced in the future."
Hans had a look of shame on his face. He lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, General, I lost my temper."
Kyenst patted Hans on the shoulder and said: "You are still young. If you have ten more years of experience, maybe my current position will be yours. But don't worry, I am ready to let General Clark succeed me." position, but I will also give you a commanding position so that you can practice more. This time you are commanding the mercenaries and some of my personal soldiers, isn't it also a kind of experience?"
After Kienst said these words, he thought Hans would burst into tears with gratitude, but unexpectedly Hans stood there without saying a word. He was a little surprised by Hans' behavior, so he turned to look at Hans, only to see Hans There was a very strange look on his face, and Keenst asked strangely: "Hans, what are you doing?"
Before he finished speaking, Kyenst felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen. He opened his mouth, but Hans pinched his neck first. He tried hard to break away from Hans, but Hans's hand pinched his tightly. Throat, making him unable to make any sound, and then the other hand kept stirring in his abdomen. Keenst's eyes grew wide, and he looked at Hans in inexplicable surprise, and then slowly collapsed to the ground until he died. Thor The top commander of the fortress, Kyenst, never understood why his most trusted lieutenant, Hans, suddenly assassinated him.
After confirming that Kyenst was dead, Hans let go of his hand. He briefly dealt with the scene, then put on a new suit of clothes, then took out a magic scroll from his storage pocket, tore it open, and activated The water magic contained in the scroll froze Jienst's body and the blood on the ground.
After doing this, Hans took the command talisman he took out from Kynst, with a smile on his face, and then walked out as usual,
Although Kyenst ordered the guards to guard the rest area outside his door, this is the command post of Thor Fortress after all. There were still a considerable number of guards patrolling not far away. They saw Hans coming out with a look on his face. Looking like he had been scolded, a guard whispered: "Hey, he must have been scolded by the general."
Hans happened to come over at this time. He forced a smile on his face and said, "Hey, the general's requirements for our subordinates are really too high."
The guard said with a smile: "Master Hans, what, again?"
Hans laughed and scolded: "Fuck you, don't talk about good things, just preach these. Well, the general's temper is a bit bad. He ordered not to disturb him anymore. He has something to think about, and I have to hurry up. Go finish what he told you, and I won’t talk nonsense to you." After saying that, Hans took out a money bag from his body, threw it to the guard, and whispered: "Brothers, you have worked hard during the night watch. When you rest tomorrow, Let’s go have a few drinks, everyone can share, I’ll treat you.”
When the guard said, "How can you be so embarrassed, I have cost you money again, Mr. Hans?", Hans slowly left.
"Stop, command." A sentry hidden in the darkness shouted, stopping Hans and the others from moving forward. Hans stood still and replied loudly: "Invincible, reply to the command."
The sentry replied: "The Empire is brave." Then he said with a smile: "It turns out to be Master Hans. Why are you coming to the city wall so late? Didn't Clark Corps keep vigil today?"
Hans said with a depressed face: "Hey, don't mention it. The general's temporary order is to let my men keep vigil tonight and let Clark's army go down and have a good rest." After saying this, Hans had already walked into the sentry. Then he whispered: "In a few days, when those green-skinned bastards retreat, let Clark show off."
The sentry smiled, signaled to Hans that they could pass, and then slowly hid back in the darkness.
Hans led his men up to the city wall and used General Keenst's command to switch defenses with Lane. Now Lane was the second-ranked figure in Clark's army after General Clark. Even General Clark had already sent his The legion was divided into two parts. He and Ryan led one part respectively and took turns commanding the battle.
Although Ryan didn't understand why General Keenst suddenly asked people to change defenses when it was almost midnight, he carefully checked the command talisman. The style, pattern, and secret marks showed that it was indeed real. So I accepted this order. Fortunately, the personnel stationed on the city wall were keeping vigil attentively. All it took was a slow handover.
After struggling for more than an hour, the defense change was finally completed. Hans smiled and said to Ryan: "Mr. Magician, I'm really sorry, but General Keenst said that when the orcs retreat in a few days, I will still rely on you. ah."
Ryan was doubtful and didn't want to say anything more to Hans. Although he dealt with it for a few words, he left the city wall with the soldiers he belonged to.
Just as he was about to return to his camp, Ryan suddenly remembered something. He said to Alando and Faras who were following him: "It's strange, why are the mercenaries led by Hans so unfamiliar today?" ah."
Faras stretched, yawned and said, "Well, maybe there are new mercenaries coming. Besides, Hans also has thousands of mercenaries under his command. It's normal for you to have never seen a few of them. "
Ryan thought about it again, but still felt uneasy. After several months of war, his experience and experience had increased a lot, and tonight Hans temporarily brought the command talisman to change defense, which was very strange in itself. He said to Faras: "Let's do this, Fanny, you are a girl, go and have a rest. Allendo and I can go find General Keenst."
Faras rolled her eyes at Ryan and said angrily: "Damn it, Ryan, what do you think of me, a lazy little cat? Of course I have to go with you."
"Okay, Colin." Ryan turned around and said, "Please do your best to get everyone settled, and then please go and tell Flana that I won't be keeping vigil tonight and ask him to get some for us. Let’s have a late night snack.”
"Yes." Colin replied seriously, and then said with a playful smile: "Boss, why didn't you call me if you have something good to eat?"
"Yes, yes, there are still us." Thomas and five or six shooters also shouted: "Boss, you can't just have women and not have subordinates."
"Go to hell." Farasi raised her hand and saw a small ice arrow, which made Thomas stomp his feet from the cold: "It's so cold, so cold."
"Okay, okay, stop making trouble." As soon as Ryan spoke, everyone immediately fell silent. Even the always arrogant Farasi stood quietly behind Ryan. Ryan said: "Then let Franado Prepare something. Anyway, I have all my gold coins with him, so I can’t run out of food from him, but you need to find a secluded place. It’s late at night now, and everyone else has almost rested.”
"Don't worry, head." Colin patted his chest and said, "I'll take care of things, don't worry. We'll go to the bar in the camp outside. They're open all night, so we won't disturb anyone else."
"Well, when we come back, let's drink together until dawn. Everyone has been working hard during this period, so I'll reward everyone right now."
