Chapter 463: Choice
After listening to the Black Swan''s retelling, Cleolev didn''t speak for a long time.
“……Is this the message that man left me?”
"That''s right, he said it very clearly. It''s his business whether to say it or not, it''s mine or not, and it''s your business."
The black swan nodded slightly.
"I understand, you go down."
Cryolev sighed long and waved his hand, the latter bowed and then turned and left. Cleolev turned his head and looked outside the camp, and a trace of pain appeared in his eyes.
Escape...is it?
As Hermann''s most prestigious general, Cleolev certainly understood what was wrong with this country. After the death of the former king, the dispute over the inheritance rights between Princess Sheila and Prince Patton never stopped. He was just silent at that time, but deep down, Cleolev hoped that Prince Patton could grow up and become a qualified king.
But what he didn''t expect was that Prince Patton, who could not withstand the pressure, chose to join forces with the demons, attacked Lisas, and was eventually defeated and died.
In this way, Princess Sheila naturally became the emperor - a puppet of those people.
He still remembers that he had met two people before, and at that time, they were both very cute children. But luck makes people feel bad, no one would have thought that they would eventually reach this point. To be honest, Cleolev didn''t know whether he should do this. He knew some inside information about the royal family, and also knew that the relationship between Queen Mother Pamela and Prime Minister Stese was unclear, but as a warrior, he believed that he should not interfere in political matters.
In Kreolev''s view, this is just a cross-border crossing.
But Duanmu Huai told him that he was just escaping.
Perhaps, the man was right, and he had always turned a blind eye to it, obeying the orders of the Council like a doll, probably just to subconsciously ignore this point. But...is it really okay?
Isn’t this considered betraying the expectations of the late emperor?
Does Hermann have to end up experiencing destruction?
Cryolev once believed that he should die with this old Hermann, as the last burial.
But now...
"Um?"
Just as Cleolev was hesitating, he suddenly heard a noisy noise outside the camp, which made him frown. And at this moment, his adjutant Carl also walked into the camp.
"Report to Master, the Second Army is here!"
"So fast?"
Kryolev was somewhat surprised when he heard the adjutant''s report.
"Who is the team leader? Is it General Alitres?"
"no……"
“It’s me.”
However, before Carl finished speaking, he saw a man stepping into the camp. It was a short, fat man with blond hair and glasses. He looked at Cleolev with a slight smile on his face.
"Hello, General Cleolev, the adjutant of the Second Army, Conbart, led the reinforcements of the Second Army to report. Oh, by the way, there is also the latest instructions from the Council here."
What is the latest instructions from the Council?
Hearing this, Cleolev''s expression became even more serious. He reached out and took the letter from Conbart''s hand and opened it. He looked carefully and then fell into silence.
"………grown ups?"
It seemed that he could sense some unknown premonition from Cleolev''s silence. Carl hurriedly asked, and at this moment, Conbart answered his question proudly.
"According to the order of the Council, I will be the commander-in-chief of this coalition next. Do you have no objection, General Cleolev?"
"What?!"
Hearing this answer, Carl looked at Conbart in amazement. He could not imagine that the Council would issue such an order.
After all, Conbart is just an adjutant, not a general. According to the position, even if you want to replace people, you can only choose from the generals of the Second Army and the Fifth Army. It is no longer the turn of an adjutant of the Second Army to be the commander of the entire coalition!
But...it''s different in theory.
Carl knew that Cleolev and the Council have never been incompatible with each other. It was obvious that the Council no longer trusted General Cleolev. Although Conbart is an adjutant, looking at his arrogant look, you can imagine that this guy has made any deals with the Parliament. If you think about it carefully, it is true. After all, among the three legions, the generals of the First Army and the Fifth Army have different relationships with the Parliament. On the contrary, only this adjutant of the Second Army is regarded as a guy who is in a turmoil and likes to rush into the camp... If he colludes with the Parliament, it is not completely impossible.
"The Parliament was very dissatisfied with the results of the First Army."
Sure enough, Conbart quickly became arrogant.
"The Council of the Review Council requires us to capture the target alive at all costs, and your 40,000 troops in the First Army could not even take down a mere Bonn Fortress, which disappointed the Council of the Review Council. Therefore, Prime Minister Steeser ordered me to command the First and Second Army at the same time, and be sure to break through the Bonn Fortress before the opponent''s steel giant arrived!"
Speaking here, Conbart clenched his fists excitedly. "This time, I will be in charge of myself!"
To put it bluntly, Conbart is indeed qualified to despise Cleolev.
Indeed, the First Legion is Hermann''s ace army, but in terms of combat experience, the Second Legion, which has been fighting against the demons all year round, is obviously richer. For the Second Legion, as long as victory can be achieved, any means can be tolerated. This is also what Conbard disdained Cleolev. He felt that this old stubbornness was too stubborn. In this era, no longer carries about chivalrous spirit or combat rules, as long as he can win!
Soon, early the next morning, Conbart launched another attack on the Bonn Fortress excitedly.
And this time the action was...
"It''s time for you to see how powerful this genius Elsa is!"
Standing on the city wall and facing the army in front of him, the blonde girl in luxurious aristocratic costumes was not shaken at all.
"You can actually witness the magic of Lord Elsa with your own eyes. You don''t know how many blessings you have cultivated in your lifetime - then, let''s start!"
As she spoke, Elsa reached out and took out a crystal Western chessboard from her backpack and slung it into the air. Then her palm gently stroked it from above. The next moment, huge chess pieces suddenly fell from the sky and landed in front of Hermann''s army, as if they were chess pieces in a ready-to-run chess formation!
"Go up, fantasy soldier!"
With Elsa''s order, these soldiers'' chess pieces that were almost as high as the city wall and holding the long sword in their hands immediately rushed forward and attacked the enemy in front of them!
"This, what the **** is this?!"
Seeing these strange chess pieces, Conbart was also shocked, but soon he calmed down and quickly issued an order.
"Hurry, attack quickly! Break these pieces into pieces!"
With the order from Conbart, the soldiers of the Hermann Legion also drew their long swords and rushed towards the huge chess piece in front of them. For a moment, the two sides fought together, and the soldiers raised their swords high, then swung them down hard, swept across the battlefield. Wherever they went, Hermann''s soldiers also flew up one after another, screaming and flying backwards.
However, just as these Hermann soldiers were about to attack, they found a flash of sight, and then chess pieces that seemed to be walking were blocked in front of them.
"Protect my soldiers, fantasy castle!"
Taking another step forward, Elsa raised her hand.
"Summon the soldiers, the mysterious queen!"
“————!”
Accompanied by Elsa''s order, a chess piece in the rear holding a scepter raised the scepter in her hand high. Immediately afterwards, one by one, a group of fantasy soldier chess pieces fell from the sky and landed on the ground. Then they also picked up their weapons and attacked the enemy in front!
"Don''t stop, smash it for me, smash these **** pieces!"
At this moment, Conbart was also furious, but fortunately, although these chess pieces were quite powerful, they were not large in number. After sacrificing hundreds of people, Hermann''s army finally defeated most of the chess pieces.
“Bang!”
As the last piece fell to the ground, broke and shattered, the obstacle in front of him seemed to have completely disappeared. Seeing this, Conbart''s eyes turned red and he almost saw hope for victory.
"Very good, rush for me——!"
“It’s so stupid.”
Looking at the Herman soldiers rushing over again, Elsa giggled.
"This genius lady has an extremely perfect strategy. You are no match for the ultimate king of the chessboard! Come here and win!"
“Boom!!”
With Elsa''s call, a king''s chess piece even taller than Bonn Fortress, wearing a crown suddenly fell from the sky and blocked directly in front of Herman''s army. At the same time, behind it, dozens of soldiers and knight chess pieces also fell down and entered the battlefield again.
How could it be?
Looking at the number of chess soldiers who were even more pawns than before, Hermann soldiers and Conbart were both stunned. They did not expect that the other party''s magic was so weird and so terrifying! You should know that those chess pieces are difficult to deal with. Even the Second Legion of Hermann, who has rich practical experience, spent a lot of effort and losses to eliminate all the previous chess pieces soldiers.
But now it seems...is that just a prelude?
"In this way, you will be a general!"
Looking at the pale Herman soldier in front of him, Elsa raised her hand proudly.
"Prepare to accept the final defeat! In front of this genius lady, you can escape without a trace of luck!"
