The soldiers in the city beat the cowhide drums, and the sound of the drums blew along the cold wind to the mountainside opposite.
Some people with sensitive ears heard the sounds in the city. To be precise, some leaflets were blown by the wind.
"General Booth has turned from darkness to light! The end of the Empire's lackeys has come!"
These two sentences were written on the paper, which made the soldier who picked it up angry. After the anger, he was disappointed.
Soon, the news that General Booth had betrayed the empire spread throughout the camp, and almost all the soldiers knew the news.
Of course the Demon King also knew this, and he had also guessed this possibility. Although Bu Longzhan insisted that his son would rather die than surrender, no matter how well you know a person, you cannot predict all of his actions.
Richard put down the wrinkled paper in his hand. It had passed through the hands of countless people. The light yellow paper was a little black, and it was even difficult to read the words on it clearly.
"The time has come, tell the others and march tonight."
"yes."
The soldiers in the tent immediately left the tent, and suddenly Lars appeared outside, and they almost bumped into each other.
"Be careful, boy."
The soldier gave a warning and then hurried to the camp.
"Come in."
At this time, the devil's voice came from the tent. Lars swallowed his saliva, then pushed open the door curtain and entered inside.
It was very spacious and warm inside, with a white wolfskin blanket spread on the floor and a scent of incense in the air.
"What does the Demon King want from me?"
Lars knelt down on one knee, just like his master.
The Demon King glanced at him, and then returned to the documents on the table.
"I heard that someone is missing in the military camp, and she is the count's young daughter. Do you know about this?"
Hearing this, Lars suddenly held his breath, lowered his head to the ground, and his expression became nervous.
"Yes, I know, Miss Fulla..."
"Do you know where she went?"
"I……"
Lars suddenly couldn't speak. He was so nervous that he didn't notice that he was shaking. He should tell the truth. The Demon King is a broad-minded person, and maybe he will forgive his behavior.
But……
He hesitated, and his breathing became rapid, because he had promised Fula not to tell anyone. This was a secret between the two of them. A secret was a secret and could not be told to anyone.
"I have no idea."
Lars said these four words with a pale face. He felt very guilty. The Demon King had been kind to him, which he might not be able to repay in his lifetime, but now he had deceived him.
Because he was scared, no one knew what the Demon King was thinking. He was very kind, to the residents of the Wusen Empire, but to the Kallis Empire, Lars had seen him kill tens of thousands of Eagles without hesitation.
A soldier has no mercy for his enemies.
As for Fulla, the Demon King has no need to be kind to her, because she is an old noble, a noble with a fiefdom. The Demon King has killed many nobles like her and taken away their houses and land. Lars does not know that the Demon King
Would he treat Furla like this?
The Demon King looked at the troubled young man, squinted his eyes, and suddenly asked another question that made Lars feel cold all over:
"If one day I want to kill all humans except the Wusen Empire, what will you do?"
Lars's mind suddenly went blank.
"This... you won't do it. I believe you will never do this."
"How do you know?"
The young man was silent.
He doesn't know, this is all his wishful thinking.
"Will you stop me?"
"I...I have no way to influence the Demon King's decision, but I will do my best to change your mind."
Lars said.
The Demon King was silent for a while, and this short silence made people feel extremely heavy.
"What if you can't do it?"
die.
The young man became frightened. He felt extremely scared at this moment. Death, would the Demon King know about that, and would he know that he had lied?
He almost cried, but he held it back. He thought of Madge who was still in Trading City, and of Iqi, whose whereabouts were still unknown.
"Master Demon King, you are my benefactor. I will never betray you, but I am a human being. If you really intend to destroy human beings, then please kill me first. I'm sorry."
After saying that, the young man put his forehead on the ground.
"Get up. You didn't do anything wrong. You don't need to apologize to me. I called you here to tell you about the next plan..."
After listening to what the Demon King said, the young man breathed a sigh of relief.
…
The army left quietly, crossing over the snow-capped mountains, carrying only five days of food. The tents in the camp were still there, and almost all the remaining soldiers were patrolling to create a sense of a large number of people.
The soldiers in the military camp all understood that nearly half of the people were marching north with the Black Knight. They might want to directly attack the heart of the north and behead George, the leader of the Eagle Regiment, but this plan was very risky. If the enemy noticed
, and send troops, the garrisoned regiment will definitely suffer heavy losses.
However, what they feared most happened.
…
"Why are they not making any movement? Are they trying to use up all our food?"
The thinly dressed young man was pacing back and forth. Both sides of the long table were filled with people. They were non-commissioned officers of the Eagle Regiment. The Eagle Regiment has many official positions, including captain of ten, centurion, commander of the Eagle Regiment, staff officer of the Eagle Regiment, and strategist of the Eagle Regiment.
Officer, enemy situation analysis officer of the Eagle Regiment. There are various official positions, and even each staff officer has his own deputy staff officer, a deputy staff officer's subordinate, and his own junior staff officer...
In short, they gathered here to deal with this battle, and sitting at the end of the long table was the famous General Booth.
However, he was sitting in that position, and no one saw him speak. He was like a doll, blinking from time to time.
"They definitely don't dare to fight again. We killed so many of them last time. They probably still think that we will surrender obediently."
"Yes! They actually have no strength. Camping in that kind of snow will consume so much supplies. The empire's treasury has already been depleted. It is impossible to hold on. As long as we stay behind closed doors, it won't take long for them to tuck their tail between their legs.
escape."
"Yes! That's right! Even if they dare to come, General Booth will beat them to pieces."
"With General Booth here, we will win!"
As the staff talked, the meeting slowly turned into a flattery contest. They spared no effort in patting Booth's horse, trying to please this "decent" general.
"Well, what you said makes sense, but it's getting late now, so this meeting will end here."
Suddenly, Booth, who was silent, suddenly spoke. When the others heard his voice, they felt novel and happy at first. They thought their opinions were recognized. Soon, the lively conference room was filled with only words.
Booth and the boy were left.
"Humph! They are a bunch of idiots and don't have any useful information at all!"
The young man slapped the table and cursed.
"So angry."
At this moment, a woman's voice came out of Booth's mouth. He turned around and saw a blond figure appearing behind Booth. She looked young, but she was as captivating as a succubus.
The young man immediately lowered his head, but his face was still angry.
"Since those losers are useless, why don't you go out yourself and see what the enemy is up to."
The blonde girl asked with a smile, her hand touching Booth's face, but the latter had no reaction at all.
The young man turned his head away and muttered in a low voice: "That black knight, he is very scary. I may not be his match."
On a certain battlefield, he wanted to kill the legendary black knight, but when he was about a thousand meters away, he saw his eyes. At that moment, he chose to run away.
"Oh, it turns out you are afraid of him, but don't worry, he's not there."
Hearing this, the young man showed a surprised expression.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Suddenly, the blond girl glared at him, her eyes like a poisonous snake.
"You command me?"
"No, no, I didn't...I'm sorry."
The blonde girl snorted coldly, and her hands left Booth's body and came to the boy's face. Her hands were as cold as ice, piercing the boy's bones.
"Don't forget, you will always be my puppy. You can only listen to me and the owner is not allowed to bark. Do you understand?"
"yes……"
Hearing this, the blond girl smiled, rubbed the other person's head, and then turned and left.
"Hey, puppy Ichi, I'm looking forward to your performance. Goodbye."
After saying that, she disappeared without a trace like white mist.
Iqi breathed a sigh of relief. He felt his face was itchy, so he touched it, and suddenly he exclaimed. He immediately found a smooth iron plate and saw what he looked like. It was a hairy face.
