A woman wearing a veil appeared next to Shia. Although she was wrapped in a cloak, her hot figure was still revealed inadvertently.
"You're here." Shia retracted her gaze and looked up at the stars. "Obsidian sent someone to issue a challenge and asked me to fight in the wilderness in three days. What do you think?"
"He is waiting." The veiled woman's tone was very firm. "The enemy's comprehensive strength is still superior to ours, but because we have shown combat effectiveness that exceeded the enemy's expectations before, some of Obsidian's psychology was shaken, so he
We have to wait, wait for internal clearance, wait for a surprise attack in the west, or something else. In short, we have to wait for the best time to launch a general offensive."
Shia nodded: "We are waiting too."
"Yes, we are not only waiting for the west, but also for the north. I just got the news from Bai Ling that the Bai Ling territory is completely under our control. According to the itinerary, the plan has already reached the imperial capital.
.”
"Very good, this gives us a little more hope." Shia perked up, surprise flashed across her purple eyes, and she regained her composure: "No matter what, the decisive battle three days later is the key to victory or defeat.
, the enemy’s force is so powerful that there is no room for error.”
"Really?" The veiled woman showed a strange look: "Her Royal Highness the Princess is really disturbing. She is obviously very excited, but she looks calm and calm. She obviously wants to hear news about that person, but she doesn't.
Pretend like nothing happened..."
Shia didn't expect that the woman would say such bold words without any warning, and her face suddenly turned cold, revealing a murderous aura without any concealment.
The veiled woman caressed a strand of brown hair in front of her forehead as if nothing had happened: "Originally, I, the little boss, dare not interfere with the private affairs of your noble princess, but your highness clearly has no confidence in this battle, and her heart is obviously in a mess.
But she pretends to be a strategist and a confident female military god. Such a duplicitous commander will only harm those foolish and loyal followers."
If the previous murderous intent was just a breeze, it has now exploded into a terrifying hurricane. Firmly locking the veiled woman, the bone-chilling voice sounded: "What on earth do you want to say?"
The momentum of the veiled woman suddenly changed, and she faced the murderous intent without any sign of weakness: "This superficial calmness is okay for the generals and soldiers to see, but the most important thing is what did you see yourself? Nervous? Hesitant?
Panic? Worry? Only the belief that we will win! Our strength is already at a disadvantage. If such a commander is to command the battle three days later, the result will be inevitable defeat. Am I wrong? Her Royal Highness?"
Shia's murderous aura gradually subsided, and instead of looking at the veiled woman, she looked away.
"I am not as good as the people and soldiers imagined. It has only been seven years since I took over the position of lord from my dying father. I have neither strong strength nor outstanding command skills and combat experience. Without him, Dark Moon would
The situation is still shaky now. Because today's prosperity and strength are hard-won, I am nervous, worried, and afraid of failure. But this is a battle that must be faced, and I will not escape or give up no matter what."
"Is it just that you won't give up? Remember that His Highness once led the army to fight against Chi You and Lan Rong's coalition forces on this battlefield, right?" The veiled woman smiled softly, "Were you afraid at that time?"
"At that time..." Shia looked at the clear eyes of the veiled woman and seemed to understand something.
At that time, she arranged a way out for Alice, and used a trick to get rid of the man. She fought with complete determination to die. She seemed to have no concept of "fear".
Later, he appeared and miraculously turned the tide of the battle. She would never forget the figure of that rider charging towards Chiyou's army alone.
"For the eldest princess."
Shia's eyes suddenly became hazy.
"My stupid woman."
"Because I know, I'm going to do it."
"We will achieve final victory, just like we will be together forever, as long as we have this persistence. Do you have it?"
The past and present began to overlap, and a little flame hidden in the heart began to gradually burn and expand into a prairie fire, until the faint mist in the purple eyes evaporated, and the corners of the cold lips were slightly raised. Facing the unwarranted shadow
He said softly: "Yes."
After saying this word, Shia's eyes became clearer and clearer, and she met the gaze of the veiled woman without hesitation. However, the veiled woman no longer looked at her, but took out something.
A musical instrument, Quqin.
"It seems that Your Highness seems to be more energetic. Then I, my subordinate, will work hard again and play a little tune to cheer up our eldest princess." There was a hint of provocation in the beautiful green eyes of the veiled woman: "He
Taught tunes.”
Hearing that last sentence, Shia's firm gaze suddenly shot out with fierceness, not murderousness, but a unique... hostility between women.
Damn that arrogant man!
"Ha!" A guy far away in the imperial capital was telling the people around him about his plan with a solemn expression. Suddenly, he sneezed inexplicably, and the solemn atmosphere was immediately destroyed.
Who missed my brother? Chen Rui rubbed his nose shamelessly, gave a few more instructions, and looked at the timer: "Start taking action now!"
The surrounding black shadows all responded and quickly dispersed.
At the same time, the patrol guards of the imperial capital unexpectedly discovered a large number of troops on the northern outskirts of the city. Judging from the flags and armor marks, they turned out to be the army from the Bai Ling territory. Bai Ling Lord Sikali himself was also in the army, and it was the army.
The commander-in-chief.
It is said that Sikali said that he had urgent military affairs and needed to enter the imperial capital.
This news surprised the patrolling guards. It was a matter of military affairs and they did not dare to neglect it. They immediately led Sikali and a cavalry of about 500 people and headed towards the north gate.
From a distance, I saw a group of black cavalry approaching the city wall. The guards at the north gate all felt as if they were facing an enemy. The guard commander Xi Mang hurriedly ordered the soldiers to activate the emergency magic defense array and turn on the night war lighting equipment to prepare for the temporary enemy.
.
The captain of the patrol guard quickly stepped forward and explained the situation to Simang through the protective position.
The army in Bai Ling's territory? Xi Mang was startled. His eyes fell on the face of Xikali, who was surrounded by cavalry under the light, and his expression became slightly brighter.
"General Simang, do you still recognize me? We once drank together at Youyue Pavilion." Xikali rode forward on his mount.
"Sure enough, it is Mr. Xikali, Lord Bai Ling." Xi Mang bowed slightly, but did not open the defensive formation immediately.
"I really want to renew our friendship with the general, but now the military affairs are urgent and we cannot delay. Please ask General Simang to open the city gate and let my army pass."
Simang frowned and said: "Master Xikali, what kind of military affairs is it that requires the dispatch of the army from Bai Ling Territory... Why didn't I receive an order from the Ministry of Military Affairs? I'm sorry, this is my responsibility, I must do it
Ask clearly."
Sikali jumped off his horse, walked up alone, and said: "It's a matter of confidentiality. It's not very convenient to say it. Let's open the protective magic circle first."
Ximang thought for a while and ordered the soldiers to turn on the protective magic. Xikali ordered the personal guards to stand by. He came all the way to Ximang, familiarly held his shoulders and came to a corner, channeled his strength, and isolated
with the sounds outside.
"General Simang, we are considered old friends. I wonder if you know the news about the regent's alliance to attack the Dark Moon?"
Ximang hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "I've heard a little bit about it."
"First, General Nesta and the Shadow Army were forced to surrender to the enemy. General Samoel and the Serpent Army died in battle. Then the coalition forces attacked the Moonlight Fortress and lost many troops. Then Dico Town was ambushed. The three elite legions suffered heavy losses. Feiyun
The whole legion was wiped out... This time the coalition forces can be said to have cracked a hard nut."
Simang knew very well about Nesta and Samoel, and also knew a little bit about the battle at Moonlight Fortress. As for the battle at Dick Town, this was the first time he heard about it, and he couldn't help but take a breath.
"The current situation of the war has made His Royal Highness the Regent lose all face. I received a secret order to lead the army southward through the Chiyou territory this time, and then detoured to the town of Leia in the Shadow Empire and raided the western part of the Dark Moon." Sikali said mysteriously.
He said, "This secret plan is very crucial to the entire Dark Moon Crusade. His Royal Highness the Regent has always been wary of the Elder Family. We don't want these forces in the Elder Family to know about this plan."
Simang knew that the Minister of Military Affairs was a member of the senatorial family, and the relationship between the senatorial family and the regent was in a very tense situation, and he was suddenly surprised.
"I know that the general is a direct descendant of General Duolun, not a faction of the elder family, so I have revealed so much. The general must keep it secret, otherwise if there is anything wrong with this secret plan, the general will also be implicated. Do you understand?"
Simang showed a wry smile as if he was being dragged onto the pirate ship, and nodded: "Let's do this. I'll report to General Duolun in the barracks. After getting his order, I will let the army enter the city. This is a rule, sir."
Don't embarrass me."
Sikali smiled slightly, patted his shoulder, and dissipated the soundproofing power: "It doesn't matter, General Lao will make the trip himself. I'll wait for you here."
Not long after Simon left the city gate, he heard a loud noise suddenly coming from the city. He stopped a patrolling soldier and found out that a fire suddenly broke out in the area of the tavern, and several connected houses were burned down.
After walking for a while, news of fires and explosions came one after another, not only in the outer city, but also in the inner city, and even the residence of General Doron was not spared.
If it was just the tavern that was being repaid, but now that so many places were on fire at the same time, someone must have set the fire deliberately! Somehow, Simang always felt frightened.
At this time, he felt waves of tremors coming from the ground, as if there were thousands of troops running, which was particularly clear at this night. Ximang turned his head sharply, and said that the source of the sound was from the direction of the north gate where he was stationed, with a look on his face.
Suddenly it became extremely pale.
At the north gate, groups of cavalry were quickly passing over the corpses of the defenders and rushing into the city, followed by a large, dark army of unknown number. (To be continued)
