Chapter 1584 Who is the national thief?
Three hours ago, Seiriu and Andrier learned that they had "taken" the Daroshul Fortress (although there was still a large fortress to resist) and "subjugated" the Sixth Legion (although the real veterans who could fight were basically not in the fortress). So the proud admiral of the Chenhai Fleet, Dembole Dandylan, decided to hold a grand party to entertain all the officers of the Sixth Legion who "remained the trouble".
Andriel felt that this squinting eyes was really too bullying. It was obvious that there were still unyielding soldiers who were not afraid of your noble lackeys. The main veterans of the Sixth Legion led by Red Thunder Lightning were likely to return in the mountains at any time. More importantly, he should have known that he was still lurking in the fortress and might attack at any time, but he actually dared to swagger and celebrate. This was insulting the famous federal general Red Thunder Lightning, the veterans who had fought bloody battles for many years in the Eastern Legion, and even insulting her famous Miss Andriel.
...Okay, Andriel works underground after all. Although she is the best among her peers, her reputation is really not very good. In short, Andriel, who was originally a little doubtful about Sai Xiliu's proposal to "make big news", also felt that if she didn't do anything, she would have no idea.
However, after all, I have been working underground for a long time, and Andrier can guess it with her knees. The other party's erectile silence in such a situation is definitely a 99% chance of being a trap. Moreover, she can also be sure that the scheming squint eyes should have guessed that she had already guessed it.
"If we don't go, wouldn't they have a waste of work?" Sai Xiliu was a little surprised.
"That's just to think it's an exercise. Anyway, this period of time has been messed up. Fortress Daroshul changed its owner overnight. Even if the officers below were originally lackeys of the nobles, they would be a little at a loss. They really need to hold a banquet to contact each other, stimulate morale, and then express their opinions on how to draw big cakes. If aristocrats are born in the family, they only have these old routines to win the morale of the army." Andriel said unhappily.
Sai Xilu agreed very much. To put it bluntly, as a military chief, lacking military achievements will certainly lack prestige. If you want to serve others, you will have to buy it. Of course, the "loyalty" you have bought is really worth discussing, but no matter how you say it, it is better than not.
"Even if we know it's a trap, we must go?" Sai Xiliu said with a expressionless face.
The remaining hundreds of loyal veterans in Dongwang Fort have been persisting for two days and two nights, and it is impossible to hold on for longer. The two girls also learned from the prisoners captured on the road that all the main forces and troops of the noble coalition army could be dispatched were coming. This was a large fleet of more than 100 ships, plus three legions, and more than 50,000 land soldiers.
Of course, Sai Xiliu felt that the combat power of the so-called 50,000 army was not worth looking forward to. If he set up a battle with thousands of veterans of the Sixth Legion in the mountains of Namoa, it would be difficult to decide the winner in a short time, and it would be even more impossible to wipe out the opponent. If he encountered the Sky Rose Legion, he might not be able to withstand one or two rounds of artillery fire and short charges.
However, it was the largest military force in the federal civil war after all. With the cooperation of more than 100 warships, once the defense line was formed based on the fortress, even if all the soldiers of the Sky Rose Legion really disobeyed the orders of the State of Emergency Committee under the call of Lu Luxi and raised an army to "clear the monarch", it would probably be difficult to break through the eastern border.
"If we make a big fuss, it will make the fortress more chaotic. We can hold on for a little longer in the East Fort, and maybe we can drag General Astray's troops back to the rescue."
"Well, I originally wanted to make some trouble for the other party, but now it has become a must." Andrier sighed and showed a hint of helplessness: "Donboree Dandy Lane calculated this point accurately. Tsk, the fox of the Dandelion family... Humph, this generation of young men from the aristocratic sect is indeed his personal character."
The two of them were a little tired for a moment. They knew that even if they really made a successful trouble and escaped from the other party's net, it would be difficult to change the situation at this time. How much time can they earn? One hour, two hours, or one day? What is the essential difference? Although the five or six thousand people under Astray are the elite soldiers of the 6th Legion, they are not the legendary heavenly soldiers in the mythical era, and everyone can fly and hide in the sky and the moon. Besides, even if they come back, they are exhausted and exhausted, facing the Chenhai Fleet and the entire fortress, they may not necessarily win, right?
"So, to make a rational judgment, Daroshul and the Sixth Legion can no longer be saved. The most correct way to do it is to find a way to evacuate... and you must also bring that lich. That guy is very important. If you really can speak, it will play a big role."
Andriel said "a great role" rather than a decisive role." Because she knew very well that even if the lich really admitted that the clans had colluded with her and had a large series of logically complete chains of evidence, it could only prove that the other party
"But, escaping from the fortress is equivalent to exposing yourself. There are so many houses and alleys in the city that can still hide. Once you leave the city, there is nowhere to hide in the sky."
It is impossible for a magician with flying skills to fly over a floating warship, and he can't even fly most flying mounts. This is common sense. Of course, those monsters with extra specifications do not count, but Sexiliu and Andrier have not reached this level yet.
"Or it's time to hide in a safe house and arrive... Well, for example, when your man really leads troops to fight, why did I believe your evil yesterday and agree to come out with you to be stupid?"
"Because the senior sister is not the kind of person who swallows anger and waits for the support. Otherwise, when she was the president of the student union, she would not have to beat the children of the Menscius family in front of hundreds of teachers and students in order to help the civilian students stand up. After the fight, it was not counted and she had to drive the person out of the school. At that time, I knew the senior sister's temper. In fact, I just expressed your thoughts."
"Actually, you want to say that I have lived a very depressing life in the past few years, right? You are actually helping me release my nature, right?... Since you followed that guy, it has become increasingly unlovable."
I haven't said that, aren't this what you said? Sexiliu finally resisted rolling her eyes and continued to smile: "So, even in order to make your own thoughts, you must make a big fuss. Teacher Oruselo said before that as a practitioner of the demonic path, if you just treat magic as a prop to attract the flames and attract attention and crawl upward, it would be fine. But if you have the awareness to enter the extraordinary realm, your state of mind is very important. Any choice that makes your own thoughts in your youth may become a demon in the future and become the biggest obstacle to your own practice."
"So Master Orusero beat the old guys from the clan when he was young?" Andrier thought to himself that I believe you, it's evil. Old Man Orusero and you, the girl, feel very bad!
"And, it was because I followed that guy that I really understood. Actually, I am not a real ruler..."
"Yes, I've discovered it! The only benefit of the guys from the aristocratic sects causing trouble this time is to let you completely let yourself go, right?"
"In addition, I actually don't want to hide in the cave and wait for Lu Xi to rescue him. This will make him proud for a long time, and maybe he will take the opportunity to..." Speaking of this, Sexiliu didn't know what she thought of, and suddenly her pretty face turned red, she gritted her teeth and said, "Anyway, even if it's to make that guy not be too greedy, I'll do something."
Sexiliu felt that her reasons were quite sufficient, but Andriel was confused. They did feel a dilemma, but they also strengthened their determination to make big news in the fortress. However, if you do it, what level should you do, and how to escape after you finish it, you must plan your life well.
However, at this moment, the "star plate" that Sexiliu had always carried on her began to flash.
Sexilu opened the lid of the astrology disk embarrassedly, and a warm and soothing light flowed in the guide track with gold obsidian as the core. A sound then rang out from the grid-like device in the center of the astrology disk.
"... Call, um, call, is this too difficult OK?"
The voice was a little distorted. It took Sexiliu nearly ten seconds to confirm the other party's identity and quickly replied before the other party hung up: "It's Mr. Valerius? I'm Sexiliu Moore."
That was the current Army Colonel Valerius, the chief of the Sky Rose Legion. To put it bluntly, he was the actual commander of all the cavalry of the Legion. Of course, he also had another identity, the entourage of the "former" Legion Commander Luxi Berenkast. Now that Luxi has resigned, Valerius has not only not been dismissed, but also has a special military rank. Several people who have similar experiences include Grant, Bull, and others, who are all Luxi's entourage. The positions are not particularly high, but they control important positions in the legion. However, from the Senate and the Military Department to the ordinary legion soldiers, no one seems to think that there is something wrong with this, as if he has forgotten that the current Legion Commander is a direct descendant of the Veranda family, and does not consider other people's feelings at all.
But what can I do? Lu Xi's entourage is indeed very capable. He has trained villagers A and B, and the newly acquired team is either drawn from the wind, or the Zoer elves masters rescued by the future chamber of commerce and northern industry. They are all talents with stories and identities. They are not only good-sounding and outstanding in their positions, but also very good at playing. They are the most appropriate candidates in their positions.
Take Valerius for example. He is the upright Knight of Saint Laurent, Auckland. Although he has gone through a wrong path, has now left the empire, and has participated in terrorist activities, the big man who offended him in Auckland did not seem to be ready to be as knowledgeable as him, and has not deprived him of the knight title. His name is still on the list of the Knights of Saint Laurent. So, if you really have to follow the law, this one is an imperial noble with a legal status.
Considering the influence of the Auckland Empire, its aristocratic status was established in 90% of the world's countries, and the generals of the Fourth Legion had to respectfully call him a "jazz". Of course, except for His Royal Highness Sevac, who had not received a penny of annuity.
This Saint Laurent Knight is indeed a cavalry expert that is difficult to find in the entire Federation. In a short period of time, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the Legion of less than 2,000 people increased by a large margin, and by the way, he also firmly grasped the morale of the army.
In this case, even in order not to cause mutiny, the new commander would not easily touch these "middle-level officers" with extremely high voice.
But no matter what, is this a warlord or a warlord? The dignified national army has finally become someone's private soldiers. It is certainly true to say that someone is a traitor!
Now, Valerius's voice has been transmitted here through tactical guides. Based on the theoretical performance of the maximum coverage area of communication functions, which is only ten kilometers, is it possible that he has arrived outside the fortress?
For a moment, Sexiliu couldn't help but think a lot.
The other party was silent for nearly ten seconds. When Sexiliu began to hesitate whether his words had really been passed, the other party finally said in a tone of relief and even a hint of gratitude: "It's great, Ms. Sexiliu, I didn't expect that you were in the fortress, so we would be more confident."
"As well?" Sexiliu immediately captured the most informative point among the other party.
"Yes! There are now a group of scouts from Miss Elme in the fortress and ten battle mages led by Master Xia Lu. I have also completed contact with them..."
So Sexiliu both knew each other. One was one of the Drow Elves scouts in the Legion, a member of the Swearing Abandoned Family, who was later recruited by Lu Xi to assist Caria in managing the intelligence work of the Legion. The other was Jifeng's "Senior Brother", one of the six "registered disciples" accepted by Durance. Because his identity was not clean, it was not easy to get a salary in the alliance, but Lu Xi was still recruited by Lu Xi to occupy an officer. He was originally doing logistics work, but he became one of the big bosses in the Battle Mage Corps. He had a low rank, but he really had a lot of voice and loyalty.
...So, traitor!
Sexiliu felt a little confused now. But she could be sure that the person she was closest in was probably planning a long time ago. Does this mean that coups, terrorist attacks, and everything that the nobles' joint army do was within his expectations?
Me, have I never known you? Sexirius was filled with mixed feelings for a moment and had nothing to say. She couldn't help but look at Andrier not far away, fearing that the other party would think too much... Fortunately, the senior sister did not react much at the moment.
"The tactical guide I carried myself captured your signal, so I tried to connect." The other party's voice came again.
Now is not the time to worry about this problem. Sexilu cheered up and asked in a deep voice: "So, what do you need me to do?"
Valerius was silent for a moment, and then his voice became more helpless: "My lady. If I hope you find a safe place to hide, you will definitely not agree until everything is settled, right?"
"We're not the first day we met, Mr. Valerius. Also, please don't call me that."
"My Lady" is the name of the retainers of the noble family to their mistress. Sexiliu, a good girl born by ordinary citizens, said that she had goosebumps all over her body and couldn't dare to take it.
