Demon Lord

May 17, at sunset.

Nora, who had just arrived in Brenttal, read the mission statement carefully. At this time she was wearing a pure black leather armor with two daggers around her waist. There were no spare weapons on her back, but scrolls and small spar inserted in the straps.

Behind her were the five members of the intelligence service, also dressed in black. All six Teflin agents arrived in the city last night. They quietly crossed the wall and entered the city in the middle of the night. After obtaining information from the intelligence department, they had now arrived outside the earl's house in the center of the city.

Brental city is located seventy kilometers southwest of Laena city. It is remote and has a small population. Because it is not a strategic point or a wealthy place, it has not been included in Everta's strategic offensive line. If according to the previous plan, Roddy would not send any troops here, and directly holding the fortress west of Lajena would be enough to deter those nobles who have little fighting power on the east and west sides.

However, the strength of the territory is one aspect. After thinking about it in various aspects, Roddy was still an important person and made a special trip to the ace agents of the intelligence department to come from Suvara City, more than 300 kilometers away. "Project Tisforne".

When the roads and bridges from Dunkel to Laiena were completed, the unblocked Ivtar infantry division directly dispelled enemy forces whose morale collapsed because they did not get food in time. The trucks entered the Laiena city directly. La and her team set out from here, each with three horses, rushed here without interruption. Now, Nora had confirmed that Earl Moore was in the mansion.

Earl Moore has never played against Roddy, and has never fought against Eta ’s troops. But in Roddy's memory, the Earl was one of the great warlords of the Karen Kingdom, and it could even be said to be the most capable general.

Charlie II was very talented, and few of his group were reliable in the military. But with the help of Earl Moore, it is absolutely possible to create enough trouble, not to mention defeat.

Roddy knows that his strategic plan is not flawless. In fact, it is similar to what Charles II judged. If he did not take the kingdom for a while, the costly logistic system would become a burden on his eyes, and it may eventually lead to a lot of defenses ... If he could spread another Moore like this, The consequences of seeking a good war leader are unimaginable.

Fortunately, Count Moore was abandoned by Charles II last year and is in a state of "deprecation". But Roddy can't guarantee whether the other party will be put on hold all the time, so in order to be sure, he must wipe out all threats at the source.

Nora put away the map and parchment, glanced again at the guarded mansion in the setting sun, raised her hand and made a "forward" gesture.

Lajena was captured dozens of kilometers away, the defeated army was scattered everywhere, and Earl Moore apparently received the wind, so the guard of the current residence was doubled as usual. But without enemies approaching the city, these people's nerves were not stretched too tightly.

Most of the six Teflins are stealth masters. They know silently better than human thieves. The slackened guards unknowingly exposed many patrolling dead ends, so these Teflins easily broke the outer defense line and entered the mansion directly.

To be on the safe side, Nora also pulled out an "anti-reconnaissance enchantment" scroll, leading everyone to continue sneaking inward.

The vigilante in the mansion has not been triggered. Six agents entered the mansion in two ways, and the guards and servants who placed the orders were silently twisted off their necks. And when the two guardian knights on the second floor finally realized that they were not right, a series of "Frost Nova" scrolls thrown by the broken crossbow arrows and Nora directly lost their resistance and were immediately killed on the spot.

Some teammates wanted to open the last bedroom door, but Nora felt the fierce elemental fluctuations. She quickly opened her companion with her eyes stricken—the next second, a large ice cone broke through the door on the spot, and even blasted out with the rear wall. A big pit.

Tevlin, who was rescued by Nora, swallowed, and before he got up, Nora had performed her "acceleration" ability and rushed in during the opponent's casting interval.

The mage holding the staff has not even seen the figure of this Teflin, and the huge force hit the force field shield in front of him, making a loud noise—

Count Moore inside the room frowned, while a swordsman in soft armor next to him was about to join the battle.

Nora's hands had simultaneously pulled out the scrolls behind her, and the two shields lit in front blocked the attacks from the magician and swordsman, respectively. However, before everything continued, Earl Moore suddenly said, "Stop it."

The two men were cut off and the sword was blown away by Nora with his tail. The two were defeated by Earl Moore. They immediately gave up resistance and retreated to the rear.

Other agents coming in behind raised some machine crossbows, and some held weapons and scrolls-even the Magister, it was difficult to retreat under such a siege. Earl Moore looked at the group of people in front of him, and seemed to have expected it, shaking his head: "I have been waiting, either the letter of His Majesty ... or the soldier of Everta. Now it seems that you are better than you One chip. "

He turned his head and glanced. The guards outside the mansion had no idea what was happening here, and still patrolled in view. This situation made him quite helpless. Turning his head, Moore looked at Nora, who was still shining with shields, and asked, "What do I need?"

"The Prime Minister said: Count Moore is a smart man and knows what to do."

Nora spoke this sentence again according to the content of the mission. Earl Moore nodded, and then knelt on one knee without hesitation: "I ... Lord Hickory, Moore Ballas, is willing to break away from Leicester's royal rule, and to Prime Minister Everta Lord Roddy Allegiance. "

An easy-to-recognize count, so easy to choose, is probably hard to imagine for ordinary people. But just as Roddy judged it, Moore was indeed the most accurate judge of the situation in the hostile camp.

When a person familiar with the military comes to war, naturally he will not simply stay in his house and dream of death. Count Moore's understanding of the front line is actually more detailed than that of Charles II. Because of this, he can better understand the terribleness of Roddy's army than Charles II.

Because both sides have combat effectiveness or logistical capabilities, the "generation gap" has been opened from the first day of the war. A difference of two is enough to determine the outcome, and a difference of ten or twenty is not necessary. There is no need to fight at all-the only victory of the royal family is because of the dragon.

But Earl Moore never believed that the Dragons would help the royal family for no reason. If the other party does this, the consequences will make him even more afraid ...

There were not so many nobles who dedicated their lives to the so-called glory in this era. Earl Moore was also an egoist-he was clever and not loyal. In the face of this situation, he had already reserved for Charles II There was an opportunity, but unfortunately the news of the other party was too late, and this road was directly cut off by Nora and others who rushed ahead.

By now, he will naturally make choices in his own interest.

Nora was not at all interested in the thoughts of Count Moore. Her idea was simple: to complete the task was first, and everything else was secondary.

According to the mission statement, she took out the metal wolf head emblem inserted on the stationery and put it directly in the other's hand: "Remember your vow, Lord Moore."

On that day, Brenttal City planted the flag of Eiffa's Wolf Head. And four hours after changing the flag, the messenger carrying a letter from Charles II had just arrived ...

But everything is too late.

May 18. Bordeaux South Bank.

Viscount Borragon took a step, almost kneeling on the ground.

Hunger made his stomach feel like a fire. The world in front of me was black and white for a while ~ www.readwn.com ~ Once the hand holding the shovel stopped, the overseer, Ephta wearing leather armor, would show no mercy Pull the whip over ...

He was taken out of the prisoner of war camp this morning to participate in road construction. Originally, he expected more than 15,000 troops to be resupply and reorganized. Who ever thought that the cities of Lajena and Becolis had actually fallen. This blow directly collapsed the morale of the lords, and coupled with the rear chase. The soldiers arrived, so many people did not even fight, they ran and descent.

He still can't figure out the reason for this failure.

But now, he has no energy to continue thinking.

His subordinates had been completely broken up, and now none of these prisoners of war working together knew each other. Everyone did n’t eat much because they were hungry for two days, and now they do n’t even have the strength to communicate. One by one, they move barely like zombies. Boragan feels that if he does n’t eat anymore, I am probably starving to death here.

Dignity, no one paid attention to the voice of asking for ransom, he really did not understand what the army of Everta wanted to do.

Fortunately, in just a few minutes, the supervisor finally shouted at the middle of the sun: "Take your tools! Stand up for the team! Come one by one to get food!"

Hearing the word "food", many people surrounded him like a hungry wolf. The consequence was that four or five supervisors "cracked", and the soldiers next to them slammed with a sheathed sword, wailing. Only then did people barely learn to maintain order.

Borragón didn't try to grab it. He had a brain anyway. When he saw that he was waiting in line to have food, he followed the team honestly. Because of this, he quickly received two loaves of bread and a simple leather water pouch-this was not what Boragon had thought of, because the quality of the water pouch was actually pretty good, apparently from a knight or a slave on the battlefield. Bring something with you.
