Chapter 352 Two People on the Battlefield

The High Dan Plain, a fertile wilderness in the middle of the empire, has always been a place where various forces compete. After the empire split, it has also become the front line of war.

The shouts under the city wall shook the sky, and in the distant position, a gun shot out fire, and then the cannonball swept across the sky with a whistling sound and hit the city wall.

There are sounds of muskets being fired everywhere in my ears, and occasionally I can hear the twisting and winding sound of the crossbow on the top of the tower. Although the times are improving, some of the past facilities have not been completely abandoned.

The taut crossbow strings flicked, and the huge arrows with thick arms shot down the city wall. The soldiers who were about to approach the city wall penetrated and took up a piece of stump and broken arms. The sound of screaming and crying came one after another on the battlefield.

After paying a certain amount of casualties, the army of the Western Empire gradually approached the city wall, and the army of the Eastern Empire on the top of the city was also damaged a lot, and the sound of counterattack was also weakened.

"Damn." The commander holding the saber spat blood on the tower, then frowned, looking at the gradually unfavorable situation below.

"Boom-"

A few more shells fell in the city, knocking down the towering shooting tower, and the bricks were scattered. Some soldiers also fell from the sky and were then buried by the falling rubble.

After removing the shooting towers that were more threatening, a griffin team rose from the rear of the Western Empire. They swooped down with the 'Lightning Flame Arrow' and further broke the gap in the city wall, and the army began to surge like a tide. into the city.

Not long after, the fortress on the High Dan Plain fell into the hands of the Western Empire, and a banner of white gold griffins and white roses rose from the ruins and black smoke walls, which was also a brand new coat of arms representing the Western Empire.

Two days later, the new Rose Fort in the Eastern Empire.

Queen Aveline was still sitting on the high-backed throne, with nobles and courtiers standing on both sides in front of her.

A messenger made an urgent report in the hall with military intelligence. After learning that the Iron Fish Fortress on the Gaodan Plain was lost, everyone started a discussion.

"That is to say, in just one week, the Western Empire pulled out three of our fortresses on the High Dan Plain, and the remaining two fortresses are also in danger?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down for the time being." An old man wearing a scholar's robe stood up and comforted everyone in the hall first. After seeing the silence, he continued to speak.

"Gaodan Plain is a fertile land in the empire, an important grain-producing area, and the core territory of the former royal family. We cannot easily give up."

After this sentence was said, many people below agreed, and soon some people began to propose.

"I am willing to lead the family's army to support the fortress on the High Dan Plain." A middle-aged nobleman in a dark red dress stepped out.

"It's Earl Shane." Many people recognized the nobleman who spoke.

As one of the blood-sworn families that swore to guard the royal family in the past, Earl Shane's initiative was not surprising. Under his leadership, some other nobles also began to respond.

Finally, when it came time to decide on the commander of this support team, although several great nobles had ideas, they did not speak immediately, but waited for the queen to speak.

Evelyn sat on the throne in a bright red dress with golden fringe edges, her eyes swept across the audience, and then she raised her arms. Snow-white wrists stretched out from red satin's cuffs, pointing to the two people below.

"This time, Earl Shane will lead the team, Baron Dick will serve as the assistant commander, and Sir Saran, Sir Fader, and Sir Lucy will serve as the commander and staff of the detachment, respectively."

After identifying the main personnel for this support, Evelyn turned her eyes to the other side, where there were several personnel in white and blue dresses, who were the representatives of the Landsworth family.

"The Landsworth family will also send at least 50,000 troops to aid this time."

"Yes, Her Majesty." According to the past tacit understanding, mobilizing 50,000 people to support the front line is within their allowable range, and will not refute this kind of thing.

Afterwards, the following detailed arrangements were led by Earl Shane. After discussing other unimportant matters, this imperial meeting ended.

Leaving the hall and walking through the corridor in the castle, Evelyn returned to the bedroom where she lived.

After closing the door, she sat in front of the vanity mirror and closed her eyes for a few minutes, then opened her eyes, and sure enough, she saw the figure sitting by the window.

"The news from the front line, you know?"

"Well, not much faster than you." Rock replied.

"It seems that they did a good job, and they didn't waste any time." Evelyn knew a lot about the intelligence organization in Rock's hands.

Since Elio was lost in Titenia, Darkmoon, who was loyal to the royal family, was hit hard. Many core personnel disappeared in the imperial capital. After that, he found an opportunity to take over this dark moon in the empire. strong power.

"So, what's the reason? Why did the Western Empire suddenly become so powerful, hasn't it been able to maintain a balance of power before?" Evelyn looked up and asked.

"The reason is not complicated, because an old acquaintance of mine took over the position of general." Rock recalled his childhood experience and marveled at the rapid rise of Isaiah.

"Who?" Evelyn suddenly became interested.

"The third son of Baron Burris, Isaiah."

"never heard of that."

"It's normal that you haven't heard of it. He entered Emenas in the same year as me and was also my friend when I was a teenager. You should be in the third grade at that time." Rock briefly introduced.

"Oh, it's exposed, Mr. Assassin. Based on this information, I will soon be able to find out your specific identity."

Evelyn didn't know where Baron Burris was a noble, but as long as he knew the name, it would be easy to find Roque's past incidentally.

"Well, it doesn't matter because my family moved out of there long ago."

"Oh, you are really cautious." Evelyn continued to ask.

"Then tell me about that General Isaiah, and see what kind of person your friend is."

"Isaiah..." Rock closed his pupils slightly, and it seemed that the face that made him want to be beaten appeared in front of him again.

"A lucky guy." He commented briefly.

"Is that all there is to it?"

"Yes, although I was familiar with him when I was a child, but now I haven't seen him for more than ten years, and the information in the past can no longer be accurate."

"Then tell me about him in the past."

"In the past, he was the third son in the family. He was not governed by his parents very much. He was very free. After a short meeting, I added a few more words.

"I'm familiar with myself, I'm very good at making friends, and I know how to please girls."

"The last few points are the ones that Mr. Assassin is jealous of. I think you are cold and indifferent. I guess you used to be the kind of person who didn't have friends of the opposite sex in school." Evelyn leaned on the back of the wooden chair and supported her with one hand He tilted his head and looked at the assassin not far away, as if he might have seen this man in his search memory.

"Are you friends of the opposite sex, really no."

"It's really pitiful, you can think about how monotonous your academy life is." After Aveline said a few words, she seemed relieved a lot, and then she continued to talk about business.

"Do you have any good ideas for that General Isaiah?"

"I'm not a talent commanding the army, nor am I a graduate of Bridge Pier College. Your Majesty Aveline is probably embarrassing me."

"Then don't you know a few famous generals? By the way, the former three-winners, Darcy, do you know the whereabouts of Silvery?"

"Sifrey retired after learning that Queen Lily had left safely. He was the confidant of the Red Queen and had received the Red Queen's favor when he was in the academy, so he would not be trusted by His Majesty Elio, so later he simply left the army."

"I probably know where he lives now, but I won't go to him, because I have talked to him and I know clearly that he doesn't want to be involved in the royal family's infighting anymore."

"Okay, Queen Lily's confidant." Recalling that the little girl who was inconspicuous at school, and then actually sat in the queen's seat, Evelyn also sighed.

The queen who came from a commoner was able to sit so firmly in that position. Even if Aimanke died later, she could not shake her position. She was also the student council president of the school back then, so why didn't her subordinates have such a genius.

"As for Darcy, he should still be trapped in the city of Titania, where the smog is perpetually frozen. You don't have to think about that. Some time ago, the forest elves just tried to enter, but they still failed and lost a lot of high-level Extraordinary."

"Many of the nobles in the middle of the empire have been damaged in the constant infighting, but there was very little intervention in the East. If you are looking for talents to command the battlefield, I am afraid you have to ask the Landsworth family for help." Luo G helps Evelyn analyze.

"I don't want to go, I can't show weakness in front of Landsworth's house." Aveline refused directly. As an emperor supported by others, her power and position are inherently delicate. Once she bows her head, it will be difficult to maintain in the future.

The two discussed it for a while, during which Evelyn also asked if she could draw the opposite person over.

"The possibility is very low. Isaiah cares about his family very much, and her sister's husband is a direct vassal of the Salius family." Rock said that this could not be done.

"What about the possibility of assassination?"

Rock paused for a while before replying quietly, "You can try."

Looking at the assassin whose breath turned cold, Aveline felt a little regretful, as if she shouldn't have made such a suggestion.

"Just try whatever you want, don't waste precious manpower, we have less strength on our side." She tried to save it a little.

"I'll go in person." Rock raised his head and took a deep breath.

"No, if you go, what will I do here, in case the Landsworth family sends someone to control me, and there is no one around to protect me."

"Sorry, I'm just an assassin, and I'm not good at protecting people." After speaking, he stood up and disappeared from the windowsill.

Walking quickly to the window sill, looking at the empty scenery below, Aveline stroked her forehead, feeling a little lost and empty.

Although the Assassin swept her over, it was not bad. It was because of his existence that he could gain a little independence in the hands of the Landsworth family, and would not be completely controlled.

A week later, the 100,000 troops supported by the Eastern Empire set out to catch up with the ongoing siege battle. Because of the timely arrival, the fortress was able to be defended and was not captured by the enemy.

In the following month or so, the two sides fought several more battles on the border.

Musket line, artillery bombardment, cavalry assault, etc., the two sides tried various tactics. In these rounds of battles, although the Eastern Empire had an advantage in numbers, it still did not take much advantage.

Seeing that their intentions and command style were about to be grasped by the opponent, the Eastern Empire's army was once again conservative, sticking to the city, and no longer attacking easily.

At the same time, after more than a month, Rock gradually grasped the location and whereabouts of Isaiah.

One night, several high

The Darkmoon Assassin of the Order broke into the military camp. Although he did not kill Isaiah, he was injured and slowed down the offensive.

Another month later, the recovered Isaiah once again commanded the army to advance, and gradually tore a hole again on the interlaced border.

On the battlefield dazzled by artillery fire, Isaiah stood on the high platform and looked at the battle situation ahead, and this behavior was once again attacked by assassination. A cavalry from the Chaos Middle East Empire rushed into the barracks and went straight to the position of the general star. It happened during this time, making the barracks chaotic, and there were sounds of tearing and killing everywhere.

After being supported by several guards to hide in a safe corner, Isaiah breathed a sigh of relief, but the good times did not last long, and soon several voices of knife cutting into the flesh sounded from behind, and several red-clothed assassins approached the general again.

"Stop them!" The sergeant who served as the guard shouted, raising the small musket in his hand and firing one after another, although he surrounded Isaiah with a shield.

During the battle, several guards fell one after another, and the remaining three assassins in red were only a few steps away from Isaiah.

Faced with a dangerous situation where there is no way to retreat, Isaiah no longer hesitated, pulled out the long sword at his waist and clenched it tightly, and began to focus on it. With his own Sequence 6 strength, as long as he is alert, he will not be easily killed.

"Bang - bang -" There were a few more gunshots and knives, and two guards and an assassin fell in a pool of blood.

Finally, with the slash of the sword, the remaining guards and assassins fell one after another.

"Huh, are you alive?" Isaiah held the sword and breathed slowly, looking at the guards who were still moaning and screaming, turned her eyes nervously and listened to the sound.

Suddenly, another sharp dagger stabbed out from behind him and inserted into his chest, but with the sound of a jingle, a golden shield expanded, blocking the attack for the time being.

Isaiah took a few steps after getting the gap, and then looked at the black figure that suddenly appeared behind her.

"Who is it?" He drew the gun with his left hand and fired several times, but the bullets were easily cut by the opponent.

Finding that the shooting was ineffective, Isaiah quickly backed away, and then shouted loudly, and many nearby soldiers rushed over immediately.

Seeing that today's assassination was about to fail again, Rock stopped and continued to move forward, but was blocked by the golden shield on the other side.

A few seconds passed in an instant, and the soldiers who rushed in quickly protected Isaiah again, and Rock was also surrounded by layers of guards.

After making sure he was safe, Isaiah breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the masked assassin in the field, but soon his face began to change color.

"It's you, Rock." Even though he hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, he still recognized each other from those eyes.

The two sides in the field stopped temporarily, the soldiers watched the powerful assassin nervously and silently, and the other side also silently watched Isaiah, who was protected by the crowd.

"It's me." Rock stopped covering up.

"Why did you appear here, wait a minute, I probably understand." Isaiah is always so smart, thinking of a lot of things in an instant.

"I didn't expect it to be you, Rock." He felt the other's boldness.

"I didn't die in your hands, so I won another game. I haven't seen each other for many years. I didn't expect to meet again at such a time."

"Why are you involved in this? I remember that you didn't yearn for such a scene when you were a child."

"Don't you forget what you said before, to become a famous, er, hero." He was about to say the word assassin.

"You will make uncle sad."

Immediately afterwards, the general seemed to open the chatterbox and took the trouble to ask about various things.

"You are annoying."

Finally, the silent assassin couldn't bear it any longer, and there was a successful smile on the face of the man opposite.
