3759 Under the Sword (24)

"What's the situation!" "How could the Aden people be blocked by the Imperial Army? Is this news reliable?"

"Is the Adens' losses serious?" The news brought by the attendant changed the faces of the southern princes in the entire tent. Whether it was the southern conservatives or the nobles, all the voices of the speech stopped at this moment. The Adens' abandoned everyone here, which made the southern princes feel depressed, but no one expected that the Adens would be blocked by the imperial army. The delay in attacking the imperial army had already caused the southern princes to panic. The experience of the Adens' people even more shows another fact. The way to escape south had been blocked by the imperial army, otherwise the Adens would not have been beaten and fled back.

The strength of the Adens is not bad. The more than 26,000 directly under the armed infantry of the Red Dragon Hall are well-equipped and are definitely not under the Imperial Army. In addition, there are four or five thousand Red Dragon Knights with skillful combat skills as the backbone of the army. Conservatively, it is estimated that more than twice the strength of the troops is required to repel such a force in the field. Even the southern princes did not notice the escape of the Adens. Could the Imperial Army be predicted beforehand?

No one can predict the escape of the Adens. Even the southern princes as allies did not expect that, not to mention that in the empire, the Adens suffered a tragic obstacle. The current situation can only explain one problem. The large encirclement of the Imperial Army has been formed, and everyone's way to escape south was cut off by the Imperial Army!

"We have been delaying here for so many days. Now, the imperial army has surrounded us. Even if we want to escape back, it is impossible for a southern prince to look ugly. If he retreats from the capital of Ero, he should immediately turn to the south. However, the Aden and the Royal Family of Ero asked the southern princes to be stuck in this position as bait to lure the imperial army. However, the tactics of the imperial army were beyond everyone's expectations. They did not pounce on us immediately, but launched an unexpected scout war, which made the southern princes cry, and the grass and trees were all soldiers. When they saw the dense forests in the distance, they would treat them as imperial army.

"Don't let go of your own. The imperial army has only 80,000 people. If such a large encirclement is really maintained, then there must be weaknesses. Moreover, the reason why Poros's Aden Red Dragon War Cavalry was blocked by the Imperial Army should be related to Poros leading the Red Dragon Knight to ambush the Imperial Cavalry outside the capital of Ero. "An old man with unusually white skin squinted his eyes and tapped the table gently, attracting everyone's attention. The old man looked quite ugly, but his fingers exposed on the cuffs were white and afraid of people, as if he had been bruised on some kind of burn.

Seeing the old man talking, the other lords immediately silent

The old man is Ogrini, the patriarch of the four marquises in the south. As the oldest among the southern lords, he was able to live 63 years old in the harsh yellow sand climate in the south, and his back was still straightened with a spirit. Ogrini himself is a legend among the southern lords. There are even rumors that Ogrini, as the second son of the family, was not qualified to inherit the title of the family, but he was able to become the master of the Ogrini family because the old man was a very famous adventurer when he was young. He had been in the land of the yellow sand for a while and finally brought out some kind of item. This thing was presented to the Eroy royal family by the Ogrini family, and was greatly favored by the Eroy royal family, and then promoted the Ogrini family from the earl to the marquis.

As for what it is, the Og family never mentions it to the public, and there have been speculations from the outside world that the Og family might have found the Eye of God left behind by the southern branch of Ero!

The southern part of Erot was destroyed by the flood eighty years ago, but the countless remains left behind made the southern Euro Barro region a holy place for mainland adventurers. Every year, many mercenaries and adventurers try to enter the southern yellow sand zone. Some people died a few days after entering, and some people ran out alive for more than ten days, but they looked like their bodies were broken. But the most famous time was that a chief priest from the Red Dragon Temple of Aden hired more than a hundred adventurers and mercenaries into the yellow sand. In more than a month, they made the most sufficient preparations, and also hired more than a dozen southern locals as guides.

For people in other regions, the depths of the yellow sand are dead, and it is absolutely impossible for life to survive. However, for the native southerners, they have been used to the invasion of yellow sand since childhood. Over the past decades, the bloodline evolution of four or five generations has become quite resistant to yellow sand.

In order to increase their value, these so-called guides often bring back information about the post-Yellow Sand. Some say that there are still many southerners living inside, but they all become monsters that are not human-like. They come out to wander at night. Some say that there is a dead land of the whole city, which is terrible. People become blind and deaf as they walk. Many people who have entered before can never get out again. However, many people mentioned a common thing, that is, the sun. Logically, the yellow sand covering the sky cannot see the sun, but many guides swear to say that they have seen the sun in the yellow sand. Some people speculate that it should be the Eye of God that the Ero royal family discarded on the old site in the south. It is said that the high temperature of the Ero eye melted half of the city and evaporated the big lake outside the Ero capital, causing more than 80,000 people in the Ero capital to be ashes in an instant.

Ogrini, one of the adventurers at that time, was undoubtedly also moved by this legend.

The Eye of God not only represents the power of the upper and lower Eros, but also the powerful force that all monarchs covet. The search for the Eye of God in southern Eros has never stopped for decades. The chief priest was undoubtedly the largest number of people and the most likely to find it, because everyone knows that if we want to find the Eye of God, in addition to the original Eros royal family, we will have the Clan and the Red Dragon Hall. This chief priest is the senior manager in charge of book management in the Red Dragon Hall. This sudden visit to southern Eros will undoubtedly find some clues, but in the end, he was discovered to fall on the edge of the yellow sand zone.

The priest was covered with some kind of burnt white scar on his body, and none of the entourage survived. In the end, the chief priest of the Red Dragon Palace just said something like "The Kingdom of God on the Land" and died. Then he found the person of the chief priest of the Red Dragon Palace from the edge, namely Ogrini

Of course this is Ogrini's secret

Everyone thinks that what he presented to the Ero royal family was the Eye of God. In fact, what he presented to the Ero royal family was the corpse that could not be seen in human form. The white scars did not end because of death. On the contrary, the dead corpse of the sacrificial body completely turned white after three days. The characters looked lifelike, without any corruption at all, and it was more like a long sleep.

In fact, it was not just the head priest of the Red Dragon Palace. When Ogrini went to the northern kingdom to meet His Majesty, he unexpectedly saw a very similar white scar on His Majesty's hands.

Although it is not as terrible as this priest dyed the whole body, it is a secret that everyone knows when the Elor Emperor was only forty years old. The body of each buried Elor Emperor will be required to be wrapped in white cloth, and even the face will be covered with a golden mask. According to the Elor Code, the Elor Emperors regard death as an eternal sleep. When their whole body is covered by the white god, they will wake up from the eternal sleep. But who dares to say that it is not to cover up the white scars on the whole body. Whenever the Elor Emperor dies, his favorite concubines will be buried with him, and none of them will be spared! And some of the favorite concubines may be the mother of the next Elor Emperor.

It was not that the new emperor who had succeeded to the throne opposed this system, but they all ended up being abandoned in vain.

Ogrini couldn't know whether Emperor Erro would be resurrected from death, but then some white scars appeared on his body, which scared him half to death. It must have been infected by the corpse. Ogrini was shocked and thought it was the only possibility. He just transported the corpse to the northern capital and was infected. It can be imagined how much the chief priest of the Red Dragon Palace suffered.

Fortunately, these white scars did not expand rapidly.

In addition, Ogrini also unexpectedly discovered that as time goes on, his energy began to surpass ordinary people, and his attention and vision are also greater than ordinary people. Even in the past forty years, in addition to his gray hair, he looked vicissitudes. In fact, his spirit is the same as in his youth. It seems that time has lost its effect on him, and even his head has turned much faster than others. If he knows what radiation mutation is, then he knows that he is one of the mutations. The chief priest of the Red Dragon Palace really discovered something amazing. After suffering strong radiation, he escaped to the edge. Although he died in the end, the corpse itself is one of the radiation sources.

"What Lord Ogrini means is that the Imperial army is only targeting the Adens, not us?" The southern princes breathed a little rapidly. Everyone knew that Lord Ogrini had the title of the No. wise man in the south, and often said some surprising predictions, and they were all fulfilled.

"I don't know, I can only say that I guess!" Ogrini looked at the desktop

"What is the basis?" Someone said unwillingly gritted his teeth. The imperial army could be pushed up at any time, and the crushing defeat of the Adens proved the strength of the imperial army. As long as there is a slight possibility, no one is willing to fight against the imperial army.

"Isn't this letter from the senior imperial officials in front of us the basis? How do you know that the Aden people were not deliberately driven back by the Empire?" Ogrini's fingers fell heavily on the table, and a cunning emanated from his seemingly old pupils. As he said this, a breathless sound suddenly sounded in the tent. No one had thought about it before, but when Ogrini mentioned it, everyone's hearts were full of shock. Isn't that true! The Aden people were intercepted by the Imperial army, and the Empire's letter was also sent here at this time. To say that this was a coincidence, it would be too deceiving to be self-deceptive.

The empire clearly blocked the Aden people and let them kill them!

"If you kill the Aden people, everyone will survive"

Such thoughts churned in the minds of the princes in the south. The Adens ran away and directly abandoned us. Why do we still bear the anger of the empire for the mistakes of the Adens? If the Adens did not make a decision without authorization, ambush the imperial cavalry outside the capital of King Ero, and then sent a killer to slaughter the sky temple of the Ero capital branch. How could the empire go crazy and kill all the scouts of the side? Now everyone is trapped here, why isn’t it caused by the so-called strategic plan designated by the Adens? Seeing that the situation is not good, the Adens runs away, and the Adens will also be the Adens who attack the Imperial Army. The Adens who slaughter the temple are still the Adens. Now the Imperial Army is still the Adens who are attracting the Imperial Army!

Everyone's eyes were red, and they could hear the heavy breathing sounds

"How many troops do the Aden people have?" a lord asked with a fierce groan.

"Thirty thousand Aden troops, even if they are intercepted, they should have half of them." Another prince said in a hesitant tone.

"That is to say, 15,000 people, we have 200,000 people, and it should be no pressure to eat 15,000 people!" The lord with a ferocious look punched the table with a punch.

"Yes, I have long disliked these Aden people. Those who point fingers are almost treating themselves as the master of the southern Ero."

"Don't be impulsive, you know that only the Adens can help us resist the empire's southward journey. We cannot kill each other and let the empire get a bargain." A nobleman almost cried,

"But if the empire is not allowed to get a bargain, can everyone survive?" The Marquis of Kentham, who had been silent, finally spoke. He glanced at the princes around him and sighed and said, "For the empire, we are just a chess piece that cannot be used on the table. It is nothing more than a difference between usefulness and uselessness. If the imperial army wants to attack us, it may have attacked long ago. Now if we don't even show any use, then there is really only a dead end."

"Marteur Kentum, you lackey of the empire, what qualifications are you..." A nobleman with an angry and red face glared at Marquis Kentum with his eyes glared at Marquis Kentum with his eyes

"Enough, Lord Ajidi, what's the point of venting anger? Unless you can make the Imperial Army not attack us, that's useful." A southern lord interrupted the noble directly and said without hesitation. "I agree with Lord Kentum's statement. Kill the Aden people. The Imperial sword has been put on our necks. What are you still arguing about here?"

In the silence, another lord said, "I agree with attacking the Aden people."

"The people of Aden have bad intentions, and now they are just asking for their own fault!"

"Yes, do it! Only everyone has a way out"

On the side of the southern prince camp, the escaped Adens had just set up camp. Poros went to the southern prince camp, but the southern princes refused to receive him.

"These idiots will pay the price one day." Poros left the Southern Alliance Camp with a pale face. At four o'clock in the morning, a Red Dragon Knight woke up the sleeping Poros. "Sir, someone has come from the southern princes and asks to meet with him!"

"Yeah, I understand, please wait, I'll come soon."

Poros suddenly sat up from the bed. The fierce battle and running in the middle of the night made him exhausted. When he walked out of the tent, his eyes became more sad. By the camp fire, some Red Dragon Knights did not rest. The devastating defeat he had just experienced and the guilt of abandoning 20,000 infantrymen made some Red Dragon Knights let out a terrible roar, as if crazy, and some people cried. Those dead Red Dragon Knights and infantrymen were all partners who spent day and night with the Red Dragon Hall.

"Hold it first, don't let others laugh at it." Poros said with a cold face. Suddenly, there were chaotic footsteps and weapons, loud sounds of iron armor collisions, and the voice of the guardian knights. "What are you doing? It's so rude!"

A rough voice said, "No need to go out with Lord Polos, we can just go in by ourselves!"

"Damn it! Do you understand the rules? This is the Aden camp tent. The trespasser died. Where are the people coming? There are assassins!" Then there was a shouting and fighting with weapons. The guard knight groaned in a deep voice, obviously he was injured. Hearing this, Poros knew that something was wrong, so he quickly pulled out his sword. Blinking his eyes, the camp gate had been kicked open, and countless torches swarmed in like a tide. I don't know how many people were, and the sharp blade flashed the cold metal light in the crowd.
