The time is approaching the early morning, which is the darkest moment before dawn. Seeing the huge city of Osgilia, it can be seen by the naked eye from a high place. There are fires everywhere in the city, and many neighborhoods have fallen into chaos.
Hughes looked up at the sky nervously from time to time. All the plans for tonight have been carried out here, and almost all goals have been achieved. Right now, the city gate of Wellington has been firmly grasped in his hands, and the large teams outside the city are mobilized, and they are continuously driving from the city gate of Wellington into this heroic city of the mainland, which is said to never fall.
At this moment, the number of rebel troops entering the city has exceeded 10,000. The most advanced is the cavalry department of the Armenian Military Region under Hughes himself. More than 5,000 cavalry have all entered the city, and the follow-up infantry regiments are coming from Wellington in an endless stream. Drive in on the narrow bridge outside the city.
Although the speed of the infantry entering the city was a little slower, there was still a lot of baggage and armaments to carry. But Hughes was very sure.
Just a moment ago, the garrisoned troops in the other city defense areas on both sides of the Wellington City Gate had spontaneously made two counterattacks towards the Wellington City Gate, but they were both repelled by the rebels, and Hughes did not even order to send troops to capture it. When I went to other areas of the city wall, I just ordered the city gate to be firmly guarded.
After more and more rebels entered the city, it seemed that the imperial defenders on both sides had finally given up their plans to retake the city gate.
Taking advantage of the night's surprise attack on the city and winning it in one fell swoop, such a very risky move was a great success, but Hughes took a cautious step instead, showing a very conservative and stable attitude.
The officers and generals under his command were full of high-spirited spirits, and they fought hard for half a year to achieve nothing. Tonight, they succeeded in breaking the city in one fell swoop. Many generals were eager to try, and asked Hughes to fight several times. The forward, gather all the cavalry, and immediately attack the palace. As long as you can rush into the palace in one fell swoop, then this battle is considered a victory.
But in the face of his subordinates with high fighting spirit, Hughes resolutely refused his subordinates' request to fight. Facing the doubts and incomprehension of his subordinates, Hughes did not seem to show the slightest joy in breaking the city.
The noble governor of the faction looked solemn at the moment, and explained to his subordinates in a deep voice: "Everyone knows that it is difficult to break Osgilia, but we entered tonight, not our real strength, but It's half calculation, half luck! This is the best chance... But at the same time, I also need you to understand that this is our last and only chance! Attacking the city is a risky move, it is a last resort! But now it has been broken Once the city is over, we have grasped the opportunity to win this war, and we no longer need to take risks! Because this is our only chance! Half an adventure is impossible! Just gather the army, wait for the dawn, and then push the army across it. Naturally, the city will be swept away! We don’t need to take risks now, and a safe approach is the best choice!”
Some subordinates are worried: "Sir, what if the emperor runs away? If the emperor runs away, let him run to the south..."
Hughes smiled disdainfully: "Run? Osgilia is a symbol of the empire. If the emperor runs away and leaves Osgilia, then the emperor is no longer an emperor! If he runs to the south, he is just a lost dog. Not much weather. Besides, we are surrounded by iron walls outside the city, where does he run to? Unless that kid Garcia suddenly can fly!"
"But there is still a Lantis fleet at the harbor terminal, and the sea route is still controlled by the Lantis people..."
Hughes looked even more disdainful: "Lantis? Hmph, if that kid Garcia really got on the Landis boat to escape, I would laugh even more! The Landis participated in the war for profit. But if the emperor is still in the city of Osgilia, he is still the emperor! If he really hides on the Lantisian ship, without his own territory and army, he is equivalent to getting into another cage by himself! If he's really stupid enough to do that, he'll be a puppet in the hands of the Landis and never emperor again!"
Forced to appease the commotion of his subordinates, Hughes gave a tough order: "The whole army continues to stand firm! Continue to meet the army outside the city into the city! Firmly defend the gate of Wellington, and the imperial defenders on both sides don't care about them, if they are If you dare to counterattack, repel them, but order your subordinates, not to pursue! Wait for the dawn, the army will gather in the city, and then sweep them away in one fell swoop!"
※※※
When Adrick arrived at the Arc de Triomphe, the rebel offensive outside the Arc de Triomphe had ceased. The rebel army, which had displayed a fierce and fearless momentum just a moment ago, retreated like a tide, leaving behind the pavement. The bodies were densely packed on the bridges outside the city.
Outside the Arc de Triomphe, the corpses under the city gate were piled up to a height of more than one meter. Broken swords and knives could be seen everywhere. From the corpses, screams were heard from time to time, and the rebels retreated very urgently. There was no time to drag the wounded down.
As soon as the defenders of the Arc de Triomphe stopped, they ushered in the brigade brought by Adric.
Spahn was no longer at the Arc de Triomphe. Adrick learned that when Spahn left, he took nearly half of the troops of the Arc de Triomphe with him. If it weren't for the fact that the rebels outside the city were still attacking the city at that time, Spahn would even directly order the entire army. withdraw.
The news that the gate of Wellington has been broken has not yet spread. At least here at the Arc de Triomphe, the defenders have not yet received the news. Spahn strictly controlled the spread of the news. I am afraid that the army will be in chaos. If it is taken away, then it will really go away!
There were only two city guard infantry from the flag regiment left at the Arc de Triomphe, but the actual combat strength, plus the wounded soldiers who were barely able to fight, would not exceed 3,000 in total. The rest of the people were taken away by Spahn and retreated in the direction of the palace.
Although Adrick knew that Spahn was helpless, the imperial decree was suppressed. After all, Spahn had been in the imperial capital for a long time as a general. He had a rigorous and steady temperament, and had never led troops outside. This kind of thing is something that Span Wanwan, who has a serious temperament, can't do it.
But there was still anger in Adrick's heart.
When Spahn ordered the brigade to evacuate, the three thousand defenders who remained at the Arc de Triomphe were still fighting fiercely with the rebels attacking the city outside the city, and they did not know the other battles in the city. It can even be said clearly that these three thousand people have been abandoned. Their only mission is to stay at the Arc de Triomphe for as long as possible, and delay it for a longer time, so that the remaining soldiers in the city have time to retreat to the palace. , to protect the emperor's safety.
These three thousand people were abandoned.
Adrick has been so badly injured that he can't ride a horse. After all, he has been in the army for half his life. No matter how strong he is, he is still a middle-aged person. His life, he was able to support and fight fiercely in the middle of the night, and it was already considered that his Adric nature was sturdy. At this moment, once it is released, it can no longer be supported. The sergeant around him can only find a carriage to dismantle the carport, and let the main general sit on the carriage and command along the way.
Adrick gathered several defenders along the way. Thousands of people had already brought them to the Arc de Triomphe. Most of the people who followed him had learned that the Wellington Gate had fallen and that the rebel brigade had entered. city news. At the end of the world, the imperial guards have been able to hold on for half a year to the present. Many of these factors are due to the presence of Adric, a famous imperial general. Moreover, most of the city guards are locals of the imperial capital, even though many of them are from the past. The troops recruited from other places have also settled in the imperial capital over the years, and their home is in the imperial capital, and they have the desire to protect their relatives in their homes. At the foot of Osgilia, it is also the largest city in the mainland. It is known as a city that will never fall. No matter how bad the situation is, there is always a glimmer of hope in everyone's heart. With Xiongcheng in hand, maybe he will persevere, he will always be able to wait until the turning point and wait until the day when the rebels retreat...
But all of this, these beliefs have been supported until tonight. With the capture of the Wellington gate and the influx of rebels, a gap has finally been opened in this city that will never fall, and General Adric, the mainstay, has also been seriously injured. , Although there are thousands of people gathered at this moment, most of them are afraid, and their morale is also low.
Such an army, if it is in the field, is afraid that it will be on the verge of collapse, but after all, this is a lonely city, even if there is a heart to escape, where can it escape? In addition, Adric's usual prestige was still there, and he managed to gather his troops all the way to the Arc de Triomphe, but there were no deserters, which was no small miracle.
After arriving at the Arc de Triomphe and meeting with the defenders here, Adric immediately ordered the warehouse to be opened and all the weapons removed. The troops he brought were all urgently pulled down from the defense areas along the way. Many people only brought side weapons, and the archers did not even have time to replenish their arrows.
Fortunately, the Arc de Triomphe has always been the top priority of the city defense of Osgilia, where a large amount of ordnance is stored in the barracks under the city. For a while, the sergeants were busy, and they managed to dispel the despair in their hearts.
Adrick was sitting on the carriage. Although he couldn't move, he forcibly supported his spirit and ordered again and again to rearrange the defense of the Arc de Triomphe. The fortifications, the fence and the sharp wood were all sent to rectify. At the same time, dozens of cavalry were sent out, along the Arc de Triomphe all the way to the other direction of the city defense, and brought the military order written by Adric himself with blood to mobilize the defenders to come and gather.
In his heart, he only hoped that Spahn's movements would not be too fast. He had not had time to let the city defenders in the other direction withdraw, and he could mobilize more troops.
As dawn approached, the night wind became more and more biting and cold. Although Adric was seriously injured, he insisted that he would not let his subordinates carry him into the barracks to rest. He insisted on sitting on the open carriage, and even had people remove all the barriers on both sides of the carriage and make the seat cushions under him higher. He just sat on the carriage like this. The most conspicuous place.
He knew in his heart that when the battle situation reached such a situation tonight, the military's heart would inevitably be shaken. At this time, he himself was the backbone of the entire army. ! This may be able to calm down some of the military's slackening a little bit.
Adric was seriously injured, although after arriving at the Arc de Triomphe, some of his subordinates had already found a doctor from the chaotic army, and he didn't even know where he dragged a cleric from the church who knew how to treat him to give Adric emergency treatment. After a while, under the effect of the healing technique, Adric's wound was barely healed. But after wiping off the blood on his face, this general, who had always had a heroic face, had a terrifyingly pale face, and because of the loss of too much blood, his face seemed to be covered with a layer of ash.
Sitting in this open air, dragging his severely injured body and blowing the biting cold wind, Adrick looked extremely gloomy, but he still looked around with those sharp eyes, passing down military orders from time to time.
Beside his carriage, there were also some officers in the army, all looking at the main general eagerly at the moment. No matter how much everyone admired the scarred-faced general, the current situation was such that everyone dared not expect that General Adric would be able to pull this situation back with the strength in his hand.
At this moment, what everyone is waiting for, perhaps, is only the last heroic ending.
The cavalry he sent came back one after another, and Adric finally got some good news. Span retreated in a hurry, perhaps intentionally or unintentionally, and Span did not order the other defenders of the city defense section. Adrick guessed in his heart that perhaps Spahn knew that he could not disobey the imperial order, so he deliberately left such a foreshadowing to give himself room to display.
The cavalry dispatched brought back a range of defenders, ranging from a hundred to ten to one or two battalions. All of them, according to Adric's orders, abandoned the city defense area, lost the barracks and the ordnance baggage, and were lightly armed. Come and gather.
When the first faint white light of dawn emerged from the end of the sky, nearly 10,000 defenders had gathered up and down the tower of the Arc de Triomphe. When the number of people increased, the momentum also picked up a little.
Adrick blew the cold wind for a long time, and his body trembled a little. He looked at the officers around him who were looking at him, and finally said: "Come here, military discussion! The officers at the battalion level have a military discussion."
In a short while, no less than a hundred officers gathered around Adrick.
The tiger general of the empire coughed twice. Although his coughing sound was weak in the cold wind, he faced the cold wind and stood up hard on the carriage, although his hands were laboriously supported on the carriage. On the pole of the car, Adrick still refused with his eyes the guard next to him who tried to reach out to support him.
"I know, you are all desperate now." Adrick's voice mixed with coughing and gasping fell into everyone's ears, some frowned, some lowered their heads, and some closed their eyes, not Know what's going on in your mind.
"Perhaps, when you think back to your mind, what else can you do in such a situation? I, Adric, are not gods, so I can't cough twice and send the rebels who have entered the city flying away. Perhaps, some of you have What I thought in my heart was, just get everyone together, and finally fight with the rebels, die in a splendid and heroic death, just ask for some peace of mind, right?"
No one spoke below, but someone looked at the coach involuntarily, and the meaning in his eyes seemed to have been tacitly agreed.
"I need you to fight to the death, and I also need you to show the energy that you are not afraid of death. But... I don't want you to despair!" Adrick raised his tone a little: "Because, I, Adric, are not dead yet! I stand by Before you, I can tell you! We are not in despair! We still have hope of victory! We still have a chance! I tell you, we are not at the end! We still have a chance to win this war! Although the chance is very small , but it is definitely not what you imagined. In the last kill, you will die happily! Not so!! All I need to know now is, do you still have the guts to continue betting with me! Going to bet on that is already very weak chance! Go bet on this difficult road to victory!!”
Before he finished speaking, many officers raised their heads and looked at Adrick eagerly, and many people showed surprise and excitement.
In such a desperate situation, this famous imperial general, he actually... He actually said it himself, is there really hope? !
We... are not dead ends? !
Adrick said a few words, was choked by the cold wind, coughed a few times, and there was some blood on the corner of his mouth, but he still used stern eyes to stop the guard who was about to reach out and straightened again. He got up and shouted sternly: "I've never told a lie in my life! I've been in war for half my life, and I don't know how many times I've been born and died! It's not like I haven't encountered a dangerous situation! I must admit that this is the most dangerous situation in my entire life. It's a critical juncture, but I, Adric, can still tell you that we haven't lost everything! As long as you believe in me, trust me unconditionally, and resolutely implement every order I have, then we still have a chance to win! !"
Finally, an officer below couldn't help but shouted loudly: "Sir! Tell me, what do you want us to do! Even if we try our best, the worst is just death! We have already reached this point, and there is nothing to bet on. !"
Someone else said loudly: "Sir, we will naturally obey your orders! As long as you say we still have hope, we will gamble our heads and work with you!"
"The worst is nothing but death!!"
Hearing that some anger finally appeared among the officers below, Adric heaved a sigh of relief, but smiled proudly: "Don't open your mouth or shut your mouth and die! Although the chances are slim, we may not necessarily lose! If we can win, who will Willing to die! Haha!"
He finally sat down with peace of mind and sat on the broken carriage, but at this moment, Adric's bearing and calmness seemed to be the same as when he was sitting behind a rigorous military tent table in the past.
"I know you are all wondering, where is our chance! I tell you, the rebels succeeded in attacking the city tonight, but they still left us room to show off! I see it clearly, the one who led the team into the city It's Hughes himself! I can't understand the temperament of this guy Hughes. He risked his life to attack the city tonight, which is already the most daring and risky move in his life. He can do it because the situation forces him to do so. , if he doesn't take risks, he will die! So he fought and won a fight. However, after breaking the city, he will definitely become shy! The reason is not because he does not want to take Osgilia! Precisely because he wanted to take Osgilia so much! He wanted to win this war so much! And tonight, after he got away with it, he had the war in his hands, and he had better be The biggest chance, and at the same time... the only chance! He will definitely become concerned about gains and losses, and instead act conservatively!"
The more Adrick spoke, the more confident he became, and his tone also contained an undeniable certainty: "Look, the rebels took the Wellington gate in the middle of the night, and now it's almost dawn, come here half the night, However, he gathered his troops in a group, and there was no follow-up action! He did not immediately send troops to enter the city in a big way, heading straight for the palace, because he thought that such a move was too risky. His army is unstable and may be driven out by us! Therefore, he is no longer willing to take risks!! Up to now, we can still stand here safely, calmly arrange our defenses, and defend the Arc de Triomphe. The troops in the defense area can be pulled down little by little along the way and brought over to gather together... But there is no movement from the rebels and Hughes! Look up in the distance! In the direction of the Wellington City Gate, the fire has already been destroyed. It was extinguished, but the fire didn't spread, and the rebels didn't move forward! Until now, there has been no movement in that direction! This is enough to prove that my guess is not wrong at all! Hughes, he is trying to be safe now!"
"His plan now is not to take the risk of letting the army go straight in and fight with us in the city at night! His plan is to wait for the dawn, pull the rebel brigade from outside the city into the city as much as possible, and then take advantage of it. He had a good idea, there are few troops in the city, and they will fight in an upright street battle. Although they will be a little more difficult, they will face each other head-on, and they will definitely win in the end. . This idea, can't say he was wrong. But unfortunately, he met me, Adric!"
"If I were Hughes last night, once I entered the city, I would immediately mobilize all the cavalry and attack the palace with the fiercest and fastest attitude! Even if I can't really capture the palace in one fell swoop, as long as I can set fire to the palace, There is a fire in the direction of the palace, so what do you think will happen to our large number of defenders who are still on the city defense? I am afraid that everyone will be in chaos when they see the screams of killing and the flames coming from the direction of the palace! Hughes did not catch this. An opportunity is due to his nature! Hmph, although he is some kind of bullshit governor, this guy is a noble in his bones!! He is not an excellent general at all! Losing this opportunity will be his biggest mistake! We again It took half the night to withdraw the teams from each defense zone one by one and gather them here! Rectify the morale of the army and prepare for battle! All these time are thanks to that idiot Hughes for giving us!"
As he said that, Adric actually raised his head, facing the direction of the city gate of Wellington in the distance, laughing wildly, shouting: "Old bastard Hughes, thank you! Thank you for giving me a breath! Thank you! Thank you for your stupidity!! Hahahahaha!!"
Adrick's behavior was another undisguised contempt, which immediately made many officers under his command burst into laughter.
With such a smile, the heaviness in everyone's hearts was immediately dissipated, and some officers couldn't help laughing loudly: "Sir, you are right! That guy Hughes seems to be too timid! But you Saying that we still have a chance, how should we fight the next battle?"
Once the weight in their hearts loosened, many people's brains became alive, and some people even worried: "Sir, the emperor ordered us to give up the city defense and retreat to protect the palace. Let's do this now, right..."
Adric smiled proudly: "This is precisely the chance for this battle! The palace is just a small imperial castle. Although there are canals and walls and complete fortifications, an imperial city with three or five thousand troops is enough to defend it. It's been a long time! Lord Spahn has gone, and the troops he brought, plus the patrolmen he gathered in the city, and the original garrison army in the imperial city, the total number is three or five thousand. The ability, these troops, it is enough to defend the palace! Even if we all go, it will only consume more spare lives. But we stay here and firmly hold the Arc de Triomphe stronghold, is the key to victory in this battle! "
He paused and said quickly: "The rebels have already entered the city, and they will immediately attack the palace during the day, but if we are still here, it means that we have left a big nail in the city! The rebels will not be able to concentrate all of them. If you have the energy to fight the imperial city, we must divide our troops to deal with us! We still have tens of thousands of troops here. , but making some noise behind the rebels' ass, so that they can't attack the palace with all their strength, is to achieve my goal! As long as we still stand here firmly, stand here firmly and don't fall, the palace is safe !"
"But... If this stalemate continues, how can it be the end?" Some officers said in a low voice with worry on their faces.
"We don't have to wait too long!" Adrick said loudly immediately, and then pointed in the direction of the distant harbour: "Have you forgotten? At sea, there are Landisians! Hahahaha! What is the purpose of joining this war, Tis, at risk?"
As soon as these words were said, someone immediately laughed loudly: "Why else! Those sly Landis people are naturally trying to make money! They came from thousands of miles to help us fight dead people, how can Landis people be like this? Kind!"
Although Landis participated in the war and became an ally of the Byzantine Empire, everyone in the army knew in their hearts that these Landis people participated in the war for profit. There may not be any good feelings.
"Not bad!" Adrick shouted immediately: "The Landis people have already participated in the war, and their goal is to gain benefits! To gain a lot of benefits! But to gain benefits, the premise is that this war must be won! If they lose, they won't catch anything! Therefore, the Landis will not watch us lose! At this moment, they are even more anxious than ourselves, and more hopeful than ourselves to win this war! The transport line Landis is firmly in control. And don't forget! Just in Catania, Landis has already registered two corps of troops, and is now stationed in the port of Catania! Catania! If you come from Osgilia by sea, it is only a two-and-a-half-day boat ride! Naturally, there is a magic circle in the palace, which can transmit the news of Osgilia! Even if Catania gets the news, spend some time Time to assemble the troops, and then come over, full calculation, in three days, they will climb over to rescue us! The Lantis people have the fleet and the best ships! For their own interests, they will do their best to rescue us no matter what. Three days! As long as we can persist here for three days, the Landis people will definitely come from the sea! The Landis elite army of the two corps of Catania will come from the sea! As long as The troops of the two corps of Landis came, and when the time comes... hum, this situation is another five-to-five!!"
This analysis really gave a path to victory in the hearts of everyone who was already desperate! Although this hope is slim, although I know that I will stay here for three days, I am afraid that I will not know how many desperate fights I will experience, and I am afraid that I will not know how many people will die and how much blood will be shed!
However, in a desperate situation, there is such a glimmer of hope, even if it is so weak, everyone's hearts are suddenly lifted!
Adrick shouted loudly: "We have survived in half a year, and now it's only three days, and it's over in the blink of an eye! Everyone, I want you to trust me and fight to the death with me! Because what awaits us is definitely not death! But the dawn of victory!!"
At the end, Adric raised his sword and shouted, "For the Empire!!"
Many officers below were full of enthusiasm, pulling out their long swords and pointing at the sky, shouting loudly: "For the Empire!!"
※※※
Adrick tried his best to drag the wounded body. This speech boosted morale, and finally managed to make the generals feel a little wary in their hearts. To be able to do this in such a desperate situation, Adrick has already done his best, and to be able to do this is already worthy of his status as a famous imperial general.
But after everyone was busy with excitement in public, Adrick sat on the carriage by himself, but secretly frowned, and a deep worry flashed in his eyes again!
The words he just said to the generals were not false words and deceit, they were the real plans in his heart.
But, what I just said is not all! He has some deeper plans in his heart, but he can't tell his fate with the generals!
He deliberately gathered these troops and did not go back to protect the imperial city, but placed the military camp under the Arc de Triomphe in a deadly posture. If it was seen by others, it seemed rather unwise.
But at this moment, Adric had to do it!
Maybe it only takes three or five thousand people to defend the palace to last for many days. This reason is true. But Adric has other plans in mind!
In such a situation in the city, although my heart is still unyielding, and I still have the will to win, but my own will is tough, but I can't guarantee that others will have such a tough mentality!
Especially... the young majesty in the palace!
His Majesty Garcia seems to be more frivolous and frivolous than the old emperor, and he is too hasty in doing things. From the act of rushing to make an alliance with the Lantis people, it can be seen that this young emperor is too prudent in his actions. Some.
This kind of temperament, once encountered a big setback, it is easy to fall down!
At this moment, the most fearful situation in Adrick's heart is: If the emperor in the palace is defeated by the broken city, once his mentality collapses and becomes completely decadent, the emperor is likely to choose to escape. !
To escape from Osgilia, the best option is by sea! There is still Landis' fleet in the harbor. As long as the emperor goes to the harbor, drills into the Landis warship, and runs to the sea, the rebels have absolutely no strength to compete with Landis's fleet at sea!
But this kind of situation is something Adrick doesn't want to see anyway!
Because the Lantis people are ambitious, he naturally knows it. If the emperor once ran onto the Lantisian ship, he would have given up on Osgilia, if he had given up on Osgilia, then he would have lost the war! After losing this war... As an emperor, what value does he have for the Lantis people? It is nothing more than a puppet controlled by the Landis people, or even a prisoner! In the case of rare goods, your emperor took the initiative to go to the army of another country to seek protection, and it is precisely this other country that has ambitions... Maybe from now on, the Lantis people will simply hold this young emperor hostage to seek protection. benefit…
There was even a rebellious thought in his heart, Adric would even prefer Emperor Garcia to die in Osgilia, rather than see him escape to the Lantisian battleship!
Therefore, he knew that the situation was dangerous, and he was even willing to risk such a great sacrifice to defend the stronghold of the Arc de Triomphe, just to give the emperor in the palace a signal: If you want to escape, there is also a chance on land! The Arc de Triomphe is still in our hands! If the emperor wants to escape, he can choose the Arc de Triomphe, where there are tens of thousands of loyal defenders of the empire!
After all, Garcia is not an idiot. If there is another choice, he will not take the initiative to get into the army of the Landis.
But Adric had to "leave" such a choice on land to the emperor! Otherwise, with Garcia's frivolous and extreme temperament, maybe once he collapses, he will really go to the Lantis people's boat! At that time, the emperor is in the hands of others, and Byzantium will not let the Lantis people knead
In addition, he thought further: he desperately gathered the defenders of the city defense along the way, and gathered the remaining troops in the city into his own hands as much as possible, also to prevent His Majesty from escaping in the direction of the harbor!
There are only so many soldiers left in the city. I gather more here, and Spahn has less.
Anyway, if it was to defend the imperial city, the three or five thousand people that Spahn brought down would be enough to guarantee the protection until the day when the Lantis people came from the sea.
If he also ran to the palace with his men and horses, if the emperor wanted to order to run to the sea, he would not be able to stop him, but instead let the emperor have enough troops to choose to break through.
So you must not go to the palace by yourself! You can't leave too many troops for the emperor to make him want to break out of the encirclement!
The best way to do this is to give him the strength to defend enough to break through the encirclement but not enough, so that he never has the will to escape!
This kind of approach is really not in line with the position of being a courtier, and it even means gambling with the safety of the emperor.
But the situation is such that Adrick really has no other choice!
With a long sigh, these thoughts in his heart can never be said to these generals under his command.
Adrick pressed hard on his waist. Although the wound had healed on the surface, how could the wound inside be so easy to heal so quickly? I'm afraid that night's sword also hurt his internal organs. Besides, he has fought for many years, and the hidden illnesses left by the wars over the years have long been worse than before. Even though I was sitting there at the moment, I felt a sharp pain in my waist.
Although Adrick tried his best to look energetic in front of his subordinates, only he knew how much he was injured!
The general took a deep breath of cold air, the cold air penetrated into his chest and lungs, and there was a faint tearing pain, but this icy pain made people rush for a while!
Adrick looked up at the sky, and in the distance, a bright white gradually spread.
Today, it is finally bright!
"Give me some more time! God bless." Adrick clenched his fists and whispered to himself: "As long as I don't die, I, Adric, will push the fallen sky back! The Empire's Millennium National Fortune , can't be buried in my hands! Because this is my country, my home!"
Swearing in his heart, Adrick forced himself to cheer up, turned around and shouted: "Come on!"
Immediately, a guard under his command came over: "Sir?"
"Go, find some of the biggest horns! Then find a few soldiers who are full of energy, stand on the top of the city for me, and blow in the direction of the palace together! Blow loudly, blow hard! Not a single moment is allowed. Stop and let people take turns when you are tired! I want to keep the bugle sound from morning to night!! I want the people in the palace to hear our bugle!"
The guard under his command asked, "Yes... Sir, what is the horn?"
"..." Adric pondered for a while, his eyes flashed a dazzling light, and his face seemed to glow with a kind of brilliance, he took a deep breath, and Adric said loudly: "Blow the victory trumpet. !!! Let the people in the palace hear us and let them know that we are here!! We are here!!!!"
