Wildfire Town has long since turned into a pot of porridge.
Bonfret's assassination alarmed the military headquarters of the war zone, and all the senior officers in the Wildfire Town garrison were killed along with the Sir. Courage to take a second look.
Bonfret was completely corpse in four or five, and his body had been completely torn to pieces. The originally beautiful skin had turned into a mass of scorched flesh under the black flames of Hastings. One shot directly smashed the upper half of the body. It took the person collecting the corpse a full half a day to collect dozens of pieces of minced meat from the floor, table and wall in the banquet hall, but they couldn't piece it all together. corpse. As for the other officers, they were all corpses in four or five pieces, and the remains of the three officers were added together to make a complete human body.
The shock of this incident made the military of the imperial theater lose face.
The news of this defeat originally spread, and the Imperial Army was shocked. It lost two and a half of its standing corps in one breath. Even the Thirteen Corps, one of the empire's best fighting iron armies, lost more than half. Such a fiasco, over the years. rare.
At this moment, Bonfret's dazzling performance has undoubtedly become the last fig leaf for the Imperial Army.
It can challenge Hasting, the most famous god of war among the Odins, one-on-one on the battlefield, and then wound Hasting in a fair duel.
It can be said that since the rise of Hastings, the Byzantine Empire has been brought to the Byzantine Empire with a record of humiliating defeats. No one has ever been able to defeat this Byzantine nightmare on the battlefield. And this time, someone actually wounded the fierce Odin!
Given such an opportunity, why would the military not seize the opportunity to hype it up? In order to boost the sluggish morale after the defeat, and at the same time deal with the enraged Supreme Majesty in the Imperial Palace of Osgilia.
Originally, all the plans were already in full swing, and a gorgeous battle report had been publicly spread to the imperial capital, and even posted it. Written in such a heart-pounding manner as Sir Bonfrett and Hastings' terrifying duel, something terrifying! In the confrontation between the two masters, every look in each other's eyes, every ultimate move is vividly depicted.
If you didn't see it with your own eyes, but just read the battle report, you would definitely think that the final duel between the Demon Emperor and the strongest human dragon knight 10,000 years ago was probably nothing more than this.
The military is determined to make Bonfret a new star, at least a door god attached to the door! They need an idol, the people need an idol, the army needs an idol!
The matter has been publicized. Originally, as long as Bonfret arrives at the military headquarters of the theater, the deputy minister of military affairs of the empire will personally award this hero with a medal and hold a solemn award ceremony.
Then, when the hero returns to the imperial capital, a special triumphal ceremony will be held. Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already promised to attend Jie Shi, and he will give the imperial hero the imperial flag in front of all the subjects of the imperial capital.
But now, now... now Bonfret is dead!
And it was a shameful assassination!
Hastings, that hateful and more terrifying Hastings! The nightmare of this Byzantine Empire army! He actually single-handedly entered the Wildfire Town garrison, and hundreds of armored guards couldn't stop him! He was rushed into the banquet hall, and he shot Bonfret to death in a grand manner, and at the same time, he also slaughtered the garrison general officer of Wildfire Town!
Then he ran through the long street with his horse, and cut a bloody road amid the blocking of thousands of soldiers, and left his name even more arrogantly: "Odin Hasting, kill the Byzantine warrior Bonfret and this!!"
Then he trampled the long street with horses, and in front of hundreds of defenders, he forcibly broke the city gate and walked away! !
The end is arrogant and dry cloud, arrogant to the point that it can't be added! !
Bonfret, who was known as "injuring Hastings frontally on the battlefield", was slaughtered like a chicken. How could the military continue to publicize such a result
The efforts and propaganda made on the premise have now turned into a loud slap in the face and slapped the military in the face! !
If nothing else, the majesty in the imperial capital asked: Didn't you say that this guy injured Hastings? Why was it so humiliating to be killed? !
how to answer? !
The anger of the subjects of the imperial capital who have been swayed by interest and worship, any quell? !
Farce, just a farce! !
In addition, the interior of the military department also felt the personal anger of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...
※※※
When Xia Ya returned to Wildfire Town, the town was completely under martial law, and a large number of soldiers occupied the streets and alleys, carefully checking everyone who passed by.
This kind of behavior is really ridiculous - Hastings has already killed and left, will he run back again? But this kind of pretentious behavior will not be considered ridiculous by the military itself.
It took a lot of effort for Xia Ya to enter the city, especially when he was carrying an injured goblin. After finally proving his identity, he entered the city, and he came to the station to fight with his cavalry. Sharba and others were already waiting anxiously. If it wasn't for the military's strict order not to allow one soldier or one soldier to leave the city, I'm afraid that these companions who already have a lot of affection with Xia Ya would have gone out to search and rescue.
Regarding the strict order not to allow the army to go out to search the city, the military explained that the garrison officer was killed and the city was in chaos.
Such a goddamn order really made Sharba and others cursed.
"These guys from the military must have straws in their heads!! Hastings must have come alone! Send someone to catch up at this time, maybe there is a chance to kill this guy!!"
Sharba gave Xi Ya medicine and cursed angrily.
Xia Ya finally returned to his own side, calm in his heart, sighed, and said with a smile: "These guys were scared by Hastings, don't forget, the 2nd and 9th Corps were killed by Hasting's raid. of."
Just the night before Xi Ya returned, the military headquarters of the theater had sent a special envoy, along with a thousand cavalry, and rushed to Wildfire Town to take over the defense here.
"The situation is not very good." Sharba muttered, looked at the door, and lowered his voice: "After the special envoy came last night, the first thing was to send someone to surround our place. Although There is no prohibition of entry and exit, but it is obviously a gesture of surveillance and alert. I really don't understand, the birdman in Bonfret was killed, what are we doing watching us! It's not the one I killed!"
Xia Ya snorted, he shook his head, sucked in the cold air, hehe sneered: "Don't forget, our order is to protect the little white face who sells his ass, and now he is killed... Is our mission... "
Sharba was furious: "The bastard lived in the garrison as soon as he arrived in the city. We didn't even see him. Now that he's dead, is the guilt also on us?!"
"Who won't we oppress?" Xia Ya scolded: "The garrison general has already died. For such a big thing, I'm afraid that someone will take the blame."
Char's prediction was very accurate. Just after he came back and lay down for less than two hours, he was resting on the bed in his room when he heard the noise outside, of which Sharba was the loudest.
Xia Ya got up and got out of bed, pushed open the door and walked out. In the courtyard, he saw more than ten cavalry under his command confronting a team of imperial troops. The two sides were arguing, and the atmosphere was extremely rigid. In the middle, with a sledgehammer in his hand, he cursed loudly: "Damn! Who of our Rodriguez cavalry dares to move! If they dare to break in, I will kill you!!"
The officer led by the other party was also quite stubborn, and said loudly: "I have the military order, who cares about your Rodriguez cavalry regiment! Even the people of the Royal Forest Army can be caught!"
Xia Ya came out, patted Sharba's shoulder lightly, pushed him away, and looked up at the soldiers on the opposite side: "What's the matter?"
The officer on the opposite side put away his sword and looked at Xia Ya: "Xia Ya's Thunder Commander?"
"I am." Xia snorted.
"You and your people have the important responsibility of protecting the safety of Sir Bonfret, and because the protected character was assassinated by the enemy, you are suspected of serious malfeasance. I have been ordered to take you back to the military for interrogation and investigation! If If you disobey, according to the imperial military law, I have the right to kill you on the spot! Others who resist and obstruct military orders will all be guilty of the same crime!"
Xia Ya's heart was burning with anger, and he stared at the officer fiercely. After all, he had experienced a war, killing people like numbness, even facing Hastings head-on. At this moment, the momentum is naturally different. Glancing over, the officer on the other side suddenly became weak, but after hesitating for a while, he still held up his long sword and held it tightly.
Xia Ya resisted his anger and looked at the number of people on both sides. The other party was obviously quite prepared. Dozens of people poured in in the yard, and outside the yard, from the open door, there were many people, swords, swords, and armor.
"Hmph, there's no way to deal with the enemy, but it's very courageous to deal with my own people!" Xia Ya's disdainful tone made the officer's face turn red, and he couldn't help but feel a little weaker, but he still bit the bullet and said: "No need to talk nonsense. , May I ask, Your Excellency Xia Yaleiming, do you want to resist the order!"
Saying that, he stared at Xiaya cautiously.
Just these words, the cavalry next to them shouted, and the soldiers who were confronting were suddenly very nervous, and they stared at Xia Ya together, waiting for this guy to express his position.
