Summoning the Holy Sword

Chapter 553: Surprise

Thousands of iron rode past, and the soldiers held up long swords shining with inorganic cold light in their hands. They grew their mouths and rushed towards the young girl in front of them. No one can remain indifferent when facing such an attack, but for Gaya, she doesn't seem to take these people seriously at all. In the face of the oncoming tide, the girl even has eyelids She didn't lift it. Instead, she stretched out her right hand, and her ring finger flicked gently on the strings.

"————— !!!!"

For a moment, the world was quiet.

The ground suddenly fell downwards, as if all the uneven traces were smoothed out as if overwhelmed by something huge, and in front of Gaya, there was no figure of any cavalry, and countless white powder like snowflakes Drifting in the air, driven backwards by the air currents, and flying away, it was just a blink of an eye. The invisible sound waves completely shattered the eyes and made them completely powder. When the girl stood up, these powders were still spraying downwards, floating in the breeze.

"Ugly, weak, not worth mentioning."

Gaya stood up, glanced indifferently at the empty ground in front of her eyes, and hummed softly, then she picked up the harp beside her and turned to leave.

For her, everything is over.

But for others, this is not the case.

It's afternoon.

General Dade lowered his head and stared at the fortress on the top of the clouds not far away. He could not help but take a deep breath, so that he could barely suppress the anxiety in his heart. He frowned, staring carefully at the figures on the fortress on the top of the clouds. The soldiers were now full of bows and arrows, watching him and others with vigilance. However, no further action is planned. But this is also good. For Dade, his mission was not to win the top of the cloud and fog. With his current manpower, even if he wants to break through this seemingly shabby fortress, he will pay a painful price. What's more, Garcia, the "red fox" is currently sitting in the fort, and Dade naturally heard about his name. He is also very clear that the best way to deal with such a sly and scheming person is to change constantly. He only needs to ensure that the people in the fortress will not leave the fortress. As for other things, it is best not to go Worrying.

But even so, Ded's heart was a little nervous before the explosion and smoke. He reached out and touched his beard. The hard, stubborn, angular face carved like a stone could not help but gloomy. Although he trusted his subordinates, the thick black smoke also caused the cautious general to start worrying. In any case, he can be sure that the black smoke is definitely not what his subordinates did, but someone else. .

Moreover, regardless of the number of opponents, at least it can be seen from this point that they perceive their true intentions, but they don't know how many people Garcia sent to stop their 3,000 cavalry? With the manpower in his hands, even if everyone is divided, I am afraid it is not enough.

Originally for Dade, the situation in front of him was not a concern. According to his combat plan, his subordinates should be able to join another team deep in Pafield in the afternoon, and at that time as long as they receive the signal by themselves You can retreat immediately. But I don't know why, Dade always feels a bit wrong, and there are some vague worries deep in his heart, as if things don't seem so simple. He wanted to contact his subordinates, but unfortunately, the long-distance communication crystal was a very valuable thing, and was not used by generals of his level.

It's noon, and they should be able to reach their destination as planned in just two or three hours ... Thinking of this, General Dade shook his head, then he looked around, then turned around and walked back Got his own account.

"Garcia's guy looks very laid back. It seems I need to give him some pressure ..."

"I don't think so, old veteran."

When General Dade frowned, and said to himself, suddenly, a leisurely voice came from behind him. The old general was also in battle, and when he heard this voice, he knew things were not good, and he instinctively I wanted to pull out the long sword at the waist and quickly roll back, but I didn't expect that the opponent's movement was faster than him. The old general's hand had just held the handle of the sword, and he saw that a sharp icy short sword had resisted After his throat, as long as the old general moved a little, there is no doubt that this sharp blade will cut his throat.

"You ......... who ...?"

Perceived his current situation, the veteran general could not help but be stiff. He was also a coach of the army and had the elite level of strength. There was no shortage of highly skilled guards beside him, but now he is so ignorant by a person. The ghost touched behind him, and we can see that this man's strength is far above him. Therefore, General Dade wisely gave up the resistance in the first time. He was very clear that if he could possess this level of latent skills, then the opponent also had at least a master level of power, and it was impossible for his subordinates to stop him. of. If we do dying resistance here, not only will we die faster, but we will not be able to catch this mysterious assassin. Since the other party can quietly touch his tent among so many people, it means that he can slip away from the siege of the crowd. If you take the liberty of doing things yourself, you will never have it except for losing your old life.

"I haven't introduced myself yet, but now is not the time to introduce myself, veteran general, I have only one request, order your subordinates to immediately drop their weapons and surrender to the top of the cloud and fortress, how is this one you can do And a breeze. "

"............... I didn't expect that angels who always follow sacred and righteousness would actually make such evil and shameless means."

"You're wrong, I'm a real human, so you don't need to strike me racially. Indeed, Her Royal Highness may not like or use this method, but we do the subordinates. But flexible ... not to mention I don't think it's an evil and shameful act. It is better to sacrifice you alone than to let so many soldiers die better for the greed of the pig-head merchants, isn't it? "

"……………………"

Hearing this, Dade was silent.

As one of the frontline generals of the Southern Army, he naturally knew the situation in the rear, and Dade also heard about the previous fire and the events of the Undead Army. I have to say that at that time, the old general was so disappointed with the reformists for the first time. Although both of these things were finally resolved, Dade has already seen how the merchants and nobles who screamed and screamed before. of. They did not work for the people of the South as they said before. Instead, they were ugly to protect their own interests, which made Dade very disappointed.

Not everyone in the Southern Army supported the reforms, except for those officers imprisoned for opposing reading from the Principality of Munn. The officers who are loyal to the reformers actually have different positions. Some of them fancy the power, status and wealth given to them by the Reformers, abandoning their dignity and pride as military attachés, and bowing in front of the merchants, becoming their hawks. Others support the reformist actions because they share the same ideas as the reformers. The last part is because his wife and children are threatened and they have to surrender to the reformist Yinwei.

General Dade belongs to the second type. He is an authentic southerner. Born in the south, he naturally grew up listening to the propaganda of the reformists. In his impression, the royal family was like the propaganda of the reformers. Like that, it was a brutal, violent, and extremely inimitable ruler. Not to mention that the **** night made by Lydia a few years ago shocked Dade, so he decided to join their team after the reformists announced reading.

But now, after seeing what the reformists are doing, General Dade himself is actually very disappointed. He originally thought that in the face of the threat of the undead army, the council would choose to return to the frontline troops. After all, the undead are The biggest threat, but Dade didn't expect that the greedy Southern Parliament members finally made a very wrong decision ... They actually decided to send those city guards who had no combat experience to fight the Necropolis Corps !! !!

In the end, those city guards took the battle for granted, including General Dade's brother.

Because of this, General Dade became increasingly disappointed and helpless about the actions of the Southern Parliament. He was not a fool. He knew why the Parliament did not mobilize the army and would rather send city guards to face those terrible enemies. But what the councils did was totally contrary to what they had been saying to the people. They once said that everything they did was for the people, in order to get them out of terror, and live a free, happy and stable life. But now? They abandoned the people just to protect their own interests!

Is what I did right?

"... General Dade, sorry, I think your silence seems to be too long?"

At this time, the voice behind him came again. Hearing this voice, General Dade sighed helplessly.

Forget it, anyway, his task has been completed ... ... what will happen next, has nothing to do with him. Thinking of this, General Dade raised his head, opened his mouth, and called out.

"Come here ..."

His voice has never been so bitter and helpless.

The sun shone fiercely on the city wall, and Garcia leaned helplessly there, the jug in his hand was already empty.

"It's boring. What the **** did the old man die? There wasn't any movement after he set up camp in the opposite place, did he have the rhythm he wanted to live there? Hey, don't send anyone up to work happily What ’s the point of being so stale? Lao Tzu drank all his wine. It ’s troublesome. I do n’t know how the little girl is doing. If the little guy really succeeds, I can still take advantage of it. This opportunity touched him for a vote ... "

At the same time, the shy fortress commander smiled and rubbed his hands, looking more like a hooligan bandit on the street. But soon, he stood up, and then he smiled slightly.

"Hey, that old guy sent troops? I didn't expect him to have the courage to come here and pass my order ......... hmm?"

Garcia, who was about to fight with a weapon, suddenly stopped his movements, and then frowned in confusion as he watched the soldiers approaching the fortress. They did not hold arms and were full of warfare as Garcia expected, instead, they saw that all the soldiers were disarmed, and they were discouraged, lined up to the fortress like a defeated rooster, and the captain headed by them In his hand, he held a white flag high.

"What fame is this?"

At this time, Garcia felt that his brain was completely useless.

Accepting troop reductions is not an easy task.

The disarmed soldiers dejected and entered the fortress under the **** of the fortress soldiers. Garcia, with an expression on his face as if eating something unclean, looked at the young man standing beside the strong, frustrated old general who was bound.

"Mr. Rhodes, it's been a long time since you've come and you gave me such a big surprise."

"It's nothing, General Garcia, I'm just going by the way, I didn't expect to see you surrounded, and I was idle anyway, so I was going to try ......... But it looks like the end is pretty good now, isn't it? ? "

I don't know why, Garcia always felt that the word "again" was a bit harsh.

"......... Yeah, thanks to your blessing."

Hearing Rhode's expressionless response, Garcia shrugged his shoulders. Then he walked to General Dade and watched him carefully. After a moment, he snorted softly and waved to the guard next to him. Soon the two guards would be silent, and the veteran general without any domineering carried on. Then Garcia turned around and looked at Rhode with a smile.

"Mr. Rhodes, you have done a great job again this time, just don't let those nobles look jealous, yes, your men today ..."

"I know, rest assured, she won't have any problems."

For Li Jie, Rhodes is naturally confident enough, but in fact, he also learned Li Jie's plan from "Live Report" from Qilian. I have to say that Li Jie's performance made Rhodes very satisfied. Yes, he has long seen Li Jie's talent in this regard. This is not surprising. A spiritual master is a very strict auxiliary profession, which means that an outstanding spiritual master must be sure of the characteristics and career of all the people in his team. To avoid any mistakes during the battle, and because of this, in many team battles, the spiritual master exists as the deputy commander of the regiment. They have flexible and changeable command methods and meticulous observation. Have a keen response. These Li Jie are not lacking, and when they acted together before, Rhodes also found that Li Jie was able to command his spiritual team handy. Because of this, he decided to let Li Jie act as his own agent and be responsible Command the battle.

Great results.

After hearing the report of Qi Lian, Rhodes felt really lucky. To be sure, Li Jie did not have a good overall view. Perhaps it was because of the small family name of the girl that she could only see at most. The victory or defeat of the two battles now, for Li Jie, the farthest she can see in this battle is only the reformers trying to launch an attack on Pafield through the line of defense, but for the overall situation at present Without notice. However, Marin is the opposite. As Rod's aide, she cannot do such detailed pre-war preparations as Li Jie, but she can take action with a view to the big picture. If the two are compared to chess players, Li Jie mostly considers the gains and losses of a city and a pool, while Ma Lin is more watching the movement of the entire chessboard.

Both sides have advantages and disadvantages, but if they can combine the capabilities of the two, it will be very helpful for Rhodes' future battles. Ma Lin didn't need his mention, and now Li Jie finally showed her ability under the pressure.

This is the best harvest for Rhodes.

"I think Mr. Rhode already knows the current situation?"

After accepting the drop, Garcia invited Rhodes to his room and asked softly, and in response to his inquiry, Rhodes raised his eyebrows, and then reached out to pick up the tea cup next to him. Taking a sip of the black tea in the cup, he looked up at Garcia in front of him.

"Yes, Mr. Garcia, I know the situation right now, but now we little ones need only do what we should do, and the rest ... naturally someone will do it."

"I hope so."

Upon hearing Rhode's answer, Garcia shook his head. He was not a fool. Of course, he knew what Rhode meant by this sentence, and just as he was about to continue saying something, suddenly, a knock came. This caused Garcia to frown slightly, and then he said.

"Come in."

The knocking stopped, the door opened, and Li Jie walked into the room.

"Commander Garcia, we have completed the task. Of the 3,500 cavalry of the other, 2,300 died, and the rest were seriously wounded and have been supervised by my subordinates, but if there are too many, If possible, I hope the fortress can ... Mr. Rhodes ?! "

Until then, Li Jie was surprised to find Rhodes sitting side by side. She widened her eyes in surprise and stared at him in disbelief.

"You are back? When are you ........."

"Just now, Li Jie, I have heard Qilian report. You have done a good job this time. You worked hard."

"Mr. Rhodes ........."

Seeing Rhode nodded to himself, Li Jie suddenly felt sore for no reason. Looking at the young man in front of her, a complex emotion emerged from the heart of Li Jie. There were complaints, joys, and grievances ... … She didn't know how to face Rod now. The girl widened her eyes and stared at Rhodes blankly, but couldn't say a word. Seeing her expression, Rhodes had a slightly angled mouth, then he stood up, walked to Li Jie's side, stretched out his right hand and held her shoulder.

"You did a good job, Li Jie, I am very happy, you can face all this bravely, and you have accomplished the task I gave you outstandingly."

"Mr. Rhodes, I ........."

Feeling that Rhode was staring at her own gaze, Li Jie's face was reddish. She opened her mouth and was about to say something. Suddenly at this moment, a soldier rushed into the room panting.

"My lord, it's not good. Just now we got the news that the thorn garland fortress was lost. The 20,000 Army of the Southern Army has penetrated into the heart of Pafield!"
