November 5, 161 AD, Calradia.

In Deherim's castle, the original Earl Ayat's flag has been removed.

Facing the overwhelming power of thousands of six-nation coalition forces led by the Heaven-defying Knight Xie Feng, the few defenders of Dehreim immediately abandoned the city and fled.

Inside the castle, Xie Feng did not feel any joy at being able to successfully capture the castle. Instead, he seemed to have fallen into deep sorrow.

"Dehrim's strategic significance is too great, but we have grown so easily. This is unusual!" Xie Feng muttered: "There must be something wrong with this!"

Opposite Xie Feng, the former king of Swadia, Haraus, looked at the map of Calradia spread out on the table and pondered: "Perhaps Charlotte's troops are too late to retreat for rescue, so we can simply let us occupy it temporarily.

Dehreim."

"Even so, the problem is by no means simple!" Xie Feng said: "Based on my understanding of Charlotte, she will never watch Dhelim being captured without taking any action. Either this is a trap, or she

There are other plans and assurances to recapture Dehreim."

Haraus said: "Dehrim has always been easy to attack and difficult to defend. I'm afraid Charlotte also expected that we wouldn't be able to defend it for a long time, so she didn't care too much about temporary gains and losses."

Xie Feng said: "However, we still have to defend Dehreim. Now that we have taken Dehrem, it is equivalent to cutting off the supply line of Charlotte's army in Kujit. As time goes by, in Kujit

The special Swadian soldiers will not attack, and then the military pressure on Kugit will be greatly reduced. If conditions permit, we can also encircle and annihilate those Swadian soldiers by the way. This is what we

The reason for occupying Dehreim in the first place.”

"However." Xie Feng continued: "Charlotte must also know our purpose, and she cannot be unaware of the importance of Dehreem's strategic position. Then the pressure will come - she cannot give up Dehrem.

Rem, she must have other ideas. But we have no clue about this idea and can't do anything about it."

After hearing what Xie Feng said, Harus smiled and said, "Xie Feng, I think you think too much."

"Thinking too much?" Xie Feng asked confused.

"Yes, thinking too much." Haraus said: "Since our goal is to occupy Dehreim..."

"No." Xie Feng shook his head and said: "Occupying Dehreim is not an end, it is just a means."

"It's all the same." Harlaus said with a smile: "Since everything is easy and stress-free so far, then just continue. Why let the stress-free plan progress but make you stressed? We want to occupy

Dehreem, we have succeeded now, we just need to stick to it. No matter what Charlotte's response plan is, we have to stick to it. In this case, why are you bothering?"

Xie Feng frowned and said: "Charlotte is full of tricks, so I have to think carefully. Maybe any of our negligence will give her an opportunity to recapture Dehreem."

Harlaus said: "It's a good thing that you want to think so, but the victory or defeat of the war does not depend entirely on caution. I have never heard of any lord who relied on his cautious character to win many battles. Charlotte

The reason why she has been invincible so far is not only because of her better brains, but more importantly, her confidence."

"confidence?"

"Yes." Harlaus continued: "The reason why you feel irritable and uneasy now is simply because you have suffered losses at the hands of Charlotte several times. As a result, once you face Charlotte, you have to subconsciously

Be on guard and be careful everywhere. Because of this, you lose confidence in yourself, and may be suppressed by Charlotte for the rest of your life - think about it, even if Charlotte coughs twice occasionally, you will

Are you not tired if you suspect that she is giving some secret code to prepare for some action? If a tired and cautious lord duels with a confident lord, regardless of the difference in strength between them, I think, the confident one

Lord, you have won three points first. Instead of thinking hard like you are now and unable to come up with any clues, you might as well give yourself some confidence. No matter what conspiracy Charlotte has, just go ahead. You, the Six Nations Commander-in-Chief,

The Heaven-defying Knights are sure to stop them all - wouldn't it be better this way?"

After hearing what Harus said, Xie Feng was silent for a long time, and finally nodded with a smile: "That makes sense!"

Suddenly, a guard came forward and said to Xie Feng: "Marshal! Mr. Lehmann is here!"

Xie Feng's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Now I don't have to worry at all! Haha - let him in!"

After a while, Lyman, wearing a pale white mask, led several people into the Lord's Hall.

When Xie Feng saw Lyman, he smiled and said: "Lyman! You came just in time! I just need you - by the way, what's going on with Fort Jelborg and Rudaburg?"

Lyman said: "The two castles have fallen. I asked Trix to lead the pirates from the Blood Ax Battalion to destroy all the nearby bridges and then stick to the river bank. The situation will be stable for the time being. Don't worry."

Xie Feng thought deeply: "Although the two castles could not be saved, if they can be stabilized, it can be considered a great blessing among misfortunes."

Lyman said: "Besides that, there are also gains and losses."

Xie Feng asked: "What are the gains and losses?"

Lyman said: "Swalk and Kanites died, and the captain of the 'Snow Leopard Adventure Group' Maneus also died."

"Manaeus? 'Snow Leopard Adventure Group'?" Xie Feng was stunned for a moment. Apparently he had some impression of these two names, but he couldn't remember them.

At this time, a voice sounded from behind Lyman: "Xie Feng, it's me." At the same time, a figure stood up.

Xie Feng took a closer look, was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "Charlie? Why are you here?"

The joy of meeting old friends did not appear on Charlie's face, but he simply said lightly: "Originally, my brother and I planned to go to you, but we met Mr. Lyman on the road."

Only then did Xie Feng realize that the Manaus Lyman was talking about was Charlie's brother, and he could already guess the cause and effect of the incident.

Xie Feng was speechless for a moment and didn't know whether he should offer words of comfort. He was silent for a while and just said: "You are welcome to join us!"

Then, Xie Feng turned to Lyman and asked: "What's going on with Swalk? Why did he suddenly appear?" Since the last retreat at Mallagurburg, Swalk had been separated from everyone. Now he suddenly heard

Xie Feng was also quite surprised to hear the news of his sacrifice.

Lyman simply told the whole story briefly.

After hearing this, Xie Feng sighed heavily because of his dead companion, and did not show too much sadness. After all, Xie Feng knew in his heart that they were just a piece of virtual data. And he did not belong.

This world will have to leave sooner or later. He is working hard step by step to downplay the care and affection between him and this world, but he hopes not to be too reluctant when leaving.

Xie Feng asked Lyman again: "You just said there were gains and losses, so what were the gains?"

Lyman said: "People are lost, and people are gained."

Xie Feng asked: "Who?"

"It's me." Another person walked out from behind Leman.

This man has short blond hair and short blond beard. His eyes are bright and lively, and he looks like a general who cannot be offended.

Xie Feng stared at the man's face for a long time, and then shouted in an unbelievable tone: "Urian?"

Lyman smiled and said: "It's a coincidence. If it weren't for the fact that Charlie was present at the time and Charlie knew him, I would probably ignore him and let him be killed by those Swadia soldiers."

"Killed by Swadia soldiers?" Xie Feng was confused and asked hurriedly: "What is going on? Isn't Julian the lord of Swadia?"

Julian sighed deeply and said: "It was no longer the case three days ago...at least it is not the case anymore."

When Julian proposed to Charlotte to send troops to attack Fort Jelborg and Rudaburg, Charlotte agreed to the suggestion. However, the large forces were still in Kugit. If they retreated, Kugit would be in danger.

The enemy is likely to counterattack, and the plan is easy to be seen through, and Julian's own troops are completely insufficient to deal with the two castles at the same time. At this time, the lord of Dehrim and Marshal Aia of Swadia

Te stood up and proposed to go with Julian to implement the plan.

Aiyat's family and Julian's family are feuding. This is something that everyone knows very well. Aiyat must be unkind when he asks to go together this time - even the maid serving tea and water knows this.

However, Charlotte seemed to have no knowledge of it, or in other words, she simply ignored it and agreed to Aiyat's request.

The king's order cannot be violated, Julian can only accept Charlotte's decision and let Aiyat go with him. He just prays in his heart that Aiyat can understand the current situation and not be at this critical moment when Swadia is fighting against the six countries at the same time.

Be tough on yourself.

At the beginning, Aiyat also showed that he was only focused on executing the plan, and divided his forces with Julian - Aiyat led his soldiers to Rudaburg to launch a siege, while Julian led his own troops

Attack on Jelborg Fort. However, Jelborg Fort was located in a geographical location that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. It was not until Aiyat captured Rudaburg and returned to Jelborg Fort that Julian

The army he led had not yet begun to climb the city wall.

With the help of Aiyat's returning troops, Jelbog Castle was quickly captured. However, after the castle was captured, before the flag of the original lord flying on the castle was pulled down, Aiyat

As for the declaration that Julian colluded with the Nordic Kingdom, the evidence is that he was unwilling to try his best in the battle, so that he was unable to capture Fort Jelborg.

At this time, due to the siege battle they had just experienced, most of the soldiers in Julian's army were either killed or wounded. There were only about 30 combat-effective soldiers following Julian, and Aiyat's soldiers

It was several times that of Julian. Julian knew that Aiyat was deliberately trying to frame him, so there was no way to tell the difference. Moreover, Julian also knew that once Aiyat ordered the soldiers to capture him, he would

There was no life left at all. So, when Aiyat first began to accuse Julian, when Aiyat thought that Julian would try to argue, Julian decisively led his soldiers to charge

Leaving the castle in order to escape.

Since Aiyat would attack him at such a critical period of the war, he must have made adequate preparations. If Julian chooses to return to Swadia, there will definitely be more tricks from Aiyat waiting for him.

For this reason, the only way to survive is to defect to Xie Feng or the Nord Kingdom.

However, what Julian did not expect was that Aiyat seemed to have already anticipated that Julian was likely to betray the country and flee, so he arranged for a force to be stationed on a bridge on the only way to the north, led by Swadi.

The task of the troops led by the two heroes of Asia and led by the two heroes of Swadia is not only to intercept the people from the north going south, but more importantly, to intercept the people from the south going north. What Julian did not expect was that,

The army led by the Swadian heroes had been defeated. So Julian met Lyman's troops on the way to escape. And with Charlie's testimony and suggestions, Lyman rescued Julian.

Julian sighed and said: "Aiyat will never let me go. He will definitely spread rumors about my treason - even now it may not be called rumors. In short, I have become homeless.

Therefore, I hope Xie Feng can give me a place to stay so that I can continue to fight on the battlefield."

After Xie Feng took a few deep breaths, he patted Julian on the shoulder and said, "You gave me a chance back then, how can I not give you a chance now?"

After saying that, Xie Feng turned to look at Julian beside him, and said with emotion: "When the three of us were at the training ground, we won the championships in three events in the competition at the training ground. At that time, I

, I never dreamed that one day we would be able to fight side by side. Should this be said to be fate? Is it fate? Or is it fate?"

Julian also reached out and patted Xie Feng on the shoulder, saying: "It's fate!"

Charlie also stepped forward, putting aside his worries about his brother's death for the time being, and responded: "It's fate!"
