Chapter 458 I can’t help myself

Kriolev did not know what was waiting for him. When he led the First Army on a rapid march and reached the Bonn Fortress, it was already evening.

"Fortunately, just in case, we didn't set up camp too far away, otherwise it would be really troublesome."

Looking at the small black dot of Bonn Fortress on the other side of the horizon, General Kriolev sighed with emotion, and then his expression became solemn.

"Okay, I know everyone is tired, but we must move forward immediately and get to Bonn Fortress as soon as possible before dark. Karl, prepare to hand over the fortress. And we must renovate the fortress... Forget it

, let’s talk about it when we get there.”

Kriolev also sighed helplessly. He had never fought such a frustrating battle in his life, but now it seemed that no matter how frustrated he was, he would not be able to survive without fighting.

Not only that, Kriolev could also feel that the morale of his men was very low, which was actually understandable. As Hermann's trump card army, the First Army had been getting along with them since Prime Minister Stisser seized power.

Unfortunately, many generals were very dissatisfied with the behavior of Prime Minister Stisser and the Council of Ministers, and they complained in private.

But at that time, they only complained privately, but after the Fourth Army Corps rebelled and raised the banner of Qingjun side and punishing the sycophants, many generals in the First Army group were also tempted. They thought this was a good opportunity. After all, they

We are already incompatible with the Council. In that case, why not just kill these bastards from a fishy country?

This was no longer just a private discussion, there was even a joint letter from the generals to General Kriolev, but he suppressed it.

But now, the council not only wants them to fight each other, but even completely ignores their situation and forcibly formulates a strategy - to be honest, the generals and soldiers who had no ideas before must now have ideas.

No one wants to die, right?

As far as the council's ridiculous operation is concerned, even if it defeats the enemy, will the council reap its own benefits?

Kriolev also knew that the people below were interested, but he had no choice, so now he could only forcefully suppress his inner annoyance, and then focus on the upcoming defensive battle.

However, just as they were about to arrive at the fortress, the messenger suddenly ran over in a hurry.

"General, General...the situation is not quite right..."

"What happened again?"

Seeing the stammering look of the messenger in front of him, Kriolev couldn't help but frown. He was not a good old man with no temper. He encountered so many unpleasant things in one day, even if Kriolev

No matter how well-mannered my husband is, there is a bit of anger in his voice now.

Sensing Kriolev's anger, the messenger turned pale, but he still hurriedly spoke.

"We arrived at the fortress as you requested, but they refused to open the door! They said they had to see you to confirm in person!"

These damn bastards!

When Kriolev heard this, he was furious and blood rushed to his head. He was the general of the First Army! The First Army was Hermann's trump card army, and now, such a mere fortress garrison dared to

Are you looking down on yourself? These people are probably tired of living!

"I'm going to see who dares to stop our First Legion!!"

At this moment, Kriolev was also furious. He angrily walked forward, and his adjutant Karl followed behind him. Soon, they came to the front of the team, which is where the gate of Bonn Fortress is.

.

Under the setting sun, the fortress looked a little scary, and on the city wall, soldiers wearing Hermann armor stood there fully armed, motionless. They looked very serious, Creole.

The husband glanced at these soldiers coldly, then withdrew his gaze and shouted loudly.

"I am Kriolev, and I have come to take over the Bonn Fortress by order of the Council. Open the door immediately!"

"Rumble, rumble..."

As Kriolev finished speaking, the door of the fortress slowly opened. Seeing this scene, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. However, before they were ready to enter the fortress, they saw a tall black figure walking out, wearing a

He was wearing jet black armor, wearing a skull-like helmet, and carrying a huge war hammer behind his back. His height was almost the same as that of a giant.

Seeing the appearance of this giant, Kriolev frowned, and the soldiers beside him also became nervous.

Then, they saw the giant walking in front of Kriolev and staring at him.

"I'm sorry, General Kriolev, but I cannot let you enter this fortress."

"What? What does this mean?"

"It's very simple."

Facing Kriolev's question, Duanmuhuai laughed, then suddenly picked up the war hammer and hit the ground in front of Kriolev.

"Because this fortress already belongs to our Tribunal!"

"What?!"

Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, Kriolev and his adjutant Carl were shocked. They raised their heads again and looked towards the city wall. Only this time, dozens of magicians in robes came from those Hulls.

Man soldiers appeared behind them, raising their staffs and aiming at them. It was obvious that this was not a joke, which meant... this fortress had been taken down by the Tribunal?

How is it possible? I have clearly sent people to keep an eye on it. If the Tribunal invaded the fortress, why was there no movement?

But no matter how unbelievable it is, the current facts will not change. Kriolev gritted his teeth and stared at Duanmuhuai. In any case, now he has fallen into the trap, and the other party even has a magician...

At this distance, they can't escape at all!

Damn it, is all this their plan?

"What do you want?"

Kriolev stared at Duanmuhuai and asked coldly, while Duanmuhuai shrugged his shoulders.

"Not really, actually I just want to ask you a question."

"…………………question?"

"That's right."

Duanmu Huai nodded.

"I'm not very familiar with you. I've only heard that the general of the First Army, Kriolev, is not only a veteran general who has experienced hundreds of battles, but also a wise general. And his adjutant is also recognized as wise and brave.

He is Kriolev’s right-hand man, so I just want to ask you...Who are you loyal to?"

"………………"

Upon hearing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, Kriolev twitched the corners of his eyes and said nothing.

"Loyal to the emperor? But now the emperor has been emptied out. Even senior officials from various countries know that Hermann's new emperor is just a puppet with no influence or power. Or? Are you loyal to the country? Then you have seen it,

The current situation in this country is that the people are short of food and clothing. In this cold and harsh environment, they can't even have enough food and clothing. However, the high-ranking aristocrats are rich in food and clothing. And this

The culprit of everything..."

As he spoke, Duanmuhuai raised his hand and pointed into the distance.

"It's right there. So, I'm curious, who are you fighting for? Why are you fighting?"

Hearing this, General Kriolev closed his eyes and sighed.

Then, he raised his head and stared at Duanmuhuai.

"I am a black gold knight dedicated to the Herman Empire. Even if this old man dies, he is destined to fight like a knight."

"knight?"

Duanmu Huai snorted lightly.

"Shouldn't a knight be loyal to the country, the lord, and the people? In order to protect the corrupt rights and interests of the council and those high-ranking officials who prey on the people, what kind of knightly honor is there?"

"……………………"

Kriolev clenched his fists and said nothing, while the adjutant Karl also blushed, but didn't know what to say.

However, what Duanmu Huai said next made both Kriolev and Karl stunned.

"I will not kill you, let alone arrest you, because my enemy is not you."

"Aren't you going to arrest me?"

Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, Kriolev raised his head and looked at him in surprise, while Duanmuhuai shook his head.

"I said, my enemy is not you. No matter what stubbornness you have when you stand in front of me, it's the same. No matter you are a wise general or anything else, there is no room for you to display here."

"What do you mean?"

Hearing this, Kriolev was slightly startled, but Duanmuhuai did not answer his words, but just waved his hand fiercely.

"Everyone, listen up. I am Duan Muhuai, the Grand Inquisitor of the Tribunal. I am here to fight against Stisser who colluded with the Priest of Oz and other heretics who dare to provoke the Tribunal! If you are not afraid of death, then

You can come and try to see if you can kill me!"

After saying this, Duanmuhuai smiled at Kriolev, then turned around and walked back to the fortress. At the same time, the magicians on the city wall disappeared again, and only the soldiers wearing Hermann armor still stood

There.

But at this moment, Kriolev was not happy about surviving the disaster at all. On the contrary, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his whole body was shivering!

I see!!

He finally understood Duanmuhuai’s purpose!
