Chapter 169 Betrayal
Rhine Fortress.
This is a city block near the division line between the two sides, which existed a thousand years ago before the founding of the First Emperor.
It is famous for its dangerous terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
It was just that it was slowly abandoned because of the peace in the empire, but due to the chaos in the empire situation in recent years, it was restored by some ambitions and visionary nobles nearby.
Now, it is the garrison for Najeshitan to resist Esdes' attack.
It was dawn.
After a long journey overnight, the injured "night attack" members rushed back.
From afar, they saw the towering city wall and their originally urgent mood slowly relaxed.
"I'm finally back."
Maine smiled a little weakly.
She is physically weak and can walk so far because she is completely dependent on her own will to support her.
But now she has no time to complain about being tired.
Behind him, Boss and Leonel had completely fallen into a coma and were being dragged by Susano, one by one. Akatsuki and Hill were relatively better, but looking at the dazed look, they probably had reached their limit.
"Everyone, hold on for a while and you will be treated soon." Main turned around and couldn't wait to speed up and walk towards the Rhine Fortress.
Ten minutes later.
Everyone entered the vision of the soldiers on the fortress wall, and the familiar figure immediately attracted their attention.
"Look, isn't that General and her escort?" someone shouted in surprise.
The miserable appearance contrasted sharply with the situation when they left the city a few days ago. It was hard to imagine what they had encountered.
The general at the city gate, as a few people who knew about the plan, immediately changed his face after seeing the scene below.
"Open the city gate quickly. You guys go and pull a few carriages over. You guys immediately inform the military doctor to prepare for treatment!"
Although he was anxious, the general still issued various orders to the soldiers around him in an orderly manner.
"Sir Najeshitan, you must not have something wrong." Looking at Najeshitan who was unconscious under the city wall, the general sighed in his heart.
The reason why they are willing to persist to this day is for the good wish at the beginning, but the current resistance army has lost its original spirit.
If even the only one who insists on Najeshitan is not here, in the future...
At the same time, Hei Tong, Seleu and others led by Will to the iceberg of the valley.
However, they were helpless when they looked at the scene in front of them.
"Or, let's go and ask Iyeas for help." Hei Tong stroked the place he had chopped with the "Eight Room". In just one breath, the knife marks healed completely.
"We just came out shortly after we were about to ask for help. I feel so embarrassed." Seleu scratched his head embarrassedly.
"This is also impossible. If their goal was any of us, they might have lost their employees." Will sighed helplessly.
"This method can only be effective if it is unexpected, and of course they will use it on me." Esdes's mental fluctuations sounded in the minds of several people.
She paused for a moment and continued, "Is the army properly arranged? If Najeshitan was still awake, she would never miss this opportunity."
Will nodded, suddenly remembering that the other party might not be able to see it at this angle, and immediately spoke: "It has been arranged, but there is no movement in the Rhine Fortress at the moment."
"Don't be careless, Najeshitan has always liked to take one step and set ten steps. Unless something unexpected happens, there will be further action."
"yes!"
Just as a few people were discussing, a large number of troops surrounded the place outside the valley.
"Hehe, the snipe and clam fight, the fisherman is good, Lord Quinn is really calculating!" Looking at the valley surrounded by water, the guard officer Rhett smiled proudly.
Najeshitan was nothing more than Lord Quinn's pawn. He gently motivated and came over to fight to the death with Esdes.
As a result, the great sacrifice now only hit Esdes.
But that's fine, all the credit for killing Esdes was his own.
"Sir Reit, are we going straight in now?" a soldier ran over and asked.
"Of course, if you kill Esdes earlier, you might even get a share of the pie at Rhine Fortress."
With a wave of his hand, the troops that were already ready quickly rushed into the valley.
Such a big noise can naturally be hidden from the crowd in the valley.
"Is this Najeshitan's plan? Want to destroy us by the advantage of the number of troops?" Will frowned.
Without the imperial envoys of the same strength, no matter how many ordinary troops are, they will not pose any threat to them.
But if there is still energy left, why not all of them will be dispatched when the siege is siege? The winning rate may be a little larger.
To be honest, the other party's confusing sexual behavior was a bit beyond his expectations.
"Leave it to me."
As he said that, Hei Tong pulled out the "Eight Room" again and raised it high.
Black lightning emanated from the blade, the earth was broken, and silent corpses crawled up from the ground, holding somewhat damaged weapons, and the armor was stained with pitch black blood.
"These are the rebels I killed before. Although they are not strong, the advantage is that they will not consume too much physical strength."
The long sword in her hand waved forward, and a large number of dead corpses immediately marched out of the valley as ordered.
"Are we just watching this?" Listening to the sound of fighting that had begun outside, Seleu looked at the others.
"That's right, because I don't know what the other party will do, it's best to save my energy first." Will nodded.
Outside the valley, Rett looked at the deadlocked battlefield and couldn't help frowning.
If I let the Imperial Guard come on the field now, I might be able to break through soon, but there might be sacrifices.
"Forget it, I'm just an ordinary soldier anyway. I'll collect as much as I want to collect. The power of the imperial envoy is more precious."
Thinking of this, Reit made up his mind.
"If you pass the order, the first soldier to enter the valley will be promoted to the third level and will be rewarded with a bounty of three thousand."
The army, which was originally slightly declining, immediately shook morale, inspired by money and power.
......
Rhine Fortress.
In a certain house, a group of officers gathered together to discuss something.
"By the way, do we really want to do this?" Someone spoke in a tangled manner.
"It's time to this point, don't you want to back down, do you?" The person next to him knocked on the table.
"We didn't want to live until we chose to join the army, but times have changed. Although she is a good commander, she can't give us the life we want."
"Mr. Quinn has already made arrangements. If you regret it now..."
The person with the highest official position sneered twice. As the person who handed over directly with Quinn, he also received the most promises and benefits, so he naturally did not want anyone to interfere.
