Chapter 432 The Death of a Man The Fifth Part of the Boy's expression also changed, and when he looked up, he saw that his commander was staring at him with a blazing eye, and the officer's heart was horizontal, and he immediately understood, and a trace of light flashed in his eyes, and he was about to answer, "My lord, there is an army under the banner of Byzantium coming towards us, and the number of people is always two thousand away."
A sudden report from the front immediately dispelled the last trace of thought in Gislent's heart.
He frowned, looked into the distance, and saw the end of the street square in the distance, sure enough, a Byzantine army was slowly coming, the whole army was murderous, guarded with bowstrings, swords in hand, and actually put on a posture to meet the battle, and the whole army slowly pushed along the street The two sides were almost on the verge of contact before the other side waved its flag.
A black horse slowly walked up, and immediately a burly figure was heard, and in the distance, a hoarse and familiar voice was heard.
"The Byzantine Empire Adric is here, the Lantis allies in front, which one is leading the army?"
When Gislent heard this, he sighed in his heart: "It's a pity that this guy is in such a hurry, hey, the opportunity was missed." ” He immediately cheered up, strode up, and laughed loudly: "Adric, you guy, you are really not dead."
After speaking, he whispered to the subordinate next to him who was already murderous, sighed lightly, and said with a smile: "That's it, if you miss the opportunity, you missed it, I didn't expect this scarface to come so quickly. ” Shaking his head, Gislent had already stepped out of the crowd and strode to the front of the line.
At this moment, in the square outside the palace, the army of the Landis was at the intersection of a street, in a tight formation, and across the square, it was the Byzantine army.
Adric sat on the war horse, he was already seriously injured, and even the hardships were afraid that the last trace of energy in his body had been squeezed out.
Although Landis's reinforcements, who had been waiting for a long time at this moment, arrived, Adric's expression and eyes at the moment were more nervous and solemn than before Although his eyes were black due to many injuries and tortures on his body, at this moment, he was still sitting proudly on horseback, and even his waist was still straight.
Behind him, naturally, they were all the elite of the rest of the battle brought from the Arc de Triomphe, and when El Salvador finally led people to retreat, the defenders above and below the Arc de Triomphe were almost all again, seven or eight thousand troops, and more than half of the casualties were lost until now, in the war of the Cold Weapon Age, such a casualty ratio, the team should have collapsed a long time ago, and it was all supported by him, the last famous general of the empire.
Once Salvador retreated, Adric did not let go, and he immediately realized that the current situation was becoming more sensitive, more subtle, and more dangerous Almost immediately, he ordered the whole army to jump out of the camp without hesitation, but instead entangled Salvador's troops all the way, first, it was natural to buy time at the last moment, not to let Salvador run to join forces with Hughes, make a last stand, on the other hand, the thoughts in his heart could not be made clear to outsiders The palace must rush to the palace as soon as possible Although the Landis are reinforcements, such allies may not be reliable, and at this moment, the Byzantine Empire is at the end of its rope, and it is difficult to guarantee that these allies may not have any jackal thoughts The remnants of the army behind him had been fighting hard for a long time, hungry, thirsty, tired and wounded, and had almost crushed this team to the brink of collapse.
It's just that Adric still forcibly pulled the team out, fought with Salvador's rear team along the way, and then rushed to the palace in a desperate way, that is, he and the Landis people arrived only on the front and back feet.
And the scruples in his heart are indeed not unreasonable, Adric himself does not know, if he comes a moment late, he is afraid that Gislent on the other side will really have something in mind These people brought by Adric have been fighting hard for a long time, and at this moment, the two thousand soldiers behind him are still in a position on the long street, with bowstrings and swords in hand, making it clear that they are going to fight desperately at any time, but Adrick did it deliberately.
There are many generals under him, naturally no one really doubts Adric's intentions, even if it is clear that the rebels have withdrawn, but still order the whole army to put on such a vigilant posture, ordinary people only think that the commander is to prevent the rebels from counterattacking, even if there are some of them who have a flexible mind and a keen sense of smell, the gap is a little unusual, and naturally they will not really say this kind of thought in public.
Gislent stood in the distance, looking at Adric himself and the generals behind him.
Based on Gislent's experience in the army, it is not difficult for him to see that the Byzantine army on the opposite side has almost reached the end of the road, from soldiers to generals, all of them are scarred, the soldiers are exhausted, the casualties are heavy, the clothes and armor are not neat, the flag is broken, everyone is tired and bloody.
However, he was still able to make a defensive posture and lined up the formation, and even Adrick in front of him, Gislent could see the weakness of the other party at a glance, no matter how hard Adrick tried his best to cheer up, the injuries on his body were not as good as those of a smart person like Gislent.
For a moment, even Gislent himself faltered Adric is now at his weakest, the remnants of the army behind him have squeezed all their energy, and they look crooked and fallen, I am afraid that they will fall if they poke lightly If at this time, they suddenly attack the past, maybe just one charge can completely annihilate the opponent's team Perhaps, as long as one charge may be so tempting, it is enough to make a commander like Gislent his heart beat faster and his mouth dry.
Defeat Adrik's army in one fell swoop, kill the pillar of the Byzantine Empire, kill a famous general like Adrick who can leave a place in the history books, and determine the capital city of a country, and then as long as he swings his army, the palace gate that is already crumbling will not be able to stop the emperor in the palace of these Lantis elites behind him, and he can firmly grasp the killing of the strongest famous general of a country in his hands, the capital city of a country, and capture the emperor of a country alive Such a great feat, I am afraid that it will be left in the history books, even if it will be another hundred years and thousands of yearsThe world will not forget the name "Gislent" and "Son of the Storm".
In the hundreds of years of history of the Landis Kingdom, except for the founding fathers, I am afraid that there is no one whose martial arts can compare with himself Maybe you just need to make the next decision.
Perhaps, all it takes is a charge Such a great temptation, Gislent's eyes, after a moment, really wavered Until the opposite side, Adric, who was sitting on the horse, seemed to notice the strange silence of the "Storm Child" opposite, and immediately shot a sword-like look, "Hehe, it's really, it's heartwarming." ” Gislent licked his lips and took a deep breath, his eyes finally clear.
The temptation is indeed great, but I can't move it I really can't move.
Kill Adric, destroy the remnant army in front of you, and then wave the army into the palace The strength comparison in your hands at the moment may really be able to do it.
But what about after that There are still more than 100,000 rebels inside and outside the city, and if he really does this, I'm afraid that Salvador and Hughes will laugh so much that they can't even close their mouths.
If you turn against the Byzantine Empire at this moment, then the entire strategy for the rest will be empty The "legal principle" of Landis sending troops will no longer exist, and whether he can capture the Garcia emperor or not, even if he is caught, he will not be able to control the remnants of the Byzantine Empire with such a method.
When the time comes, without the banner of the emperor, the local forces throughout Byzantium will completely collapse and become a plate of scattered sand, and the only ones who will not benefit themselves will be those rebels In the final analysis, on his own Lantis side, he is an "outsider" after all Unless Lantis makes up his mind at home, puts on the posture of all-out war, mobilizes the whole country, pulls out all the armies, makes up his mind, fights the strength of the whole country, and fights a war with the goal of completely exterminating the Byzantine Empire, can he really afford it now?
Byzantium now has rebels inside, and Odin has really destroyed the royal family, and it is impossible for his own side to swallow such an empire Gislent knew very well that from top to bottom in the country, the conclusion of this war had already been made: it was impossible to eat this empire in this war at once, and the only purpose of the country's participation in the war was to reap enough benefits, but this premise must ensure the continued existence of the royal family of the Byzantine Empire.
Gently, gently, Gislent let go of the fists that he had clenched unconsciously, and then exhaled a breath that seemed to expel all the heat that had just risen in his heart.
Finally, the smile on his face reappeared, and he quickly ran to the front, opened his arms, signaled that he was not holding a sword in his hand, and met Adrick's sharp eyes, Gislent laughed loudly: "Hey, Scarface, I led the army here, you made a murderous aura, that's how you greeted your allies hahahaha" As he spoke, he did not hesitate, and walked out of the group behind him and walked to the square.
Opposite, Adric sat on horseback, watching Gislent finally come out, and the general was finally secretly relieved.
Gislent, after all, is still Gislent, if he changes to a short-sighted guy, I'm afraid it will be really dangerous.
Adrick snorted, he didn't ride his horse forward, it was really because of the war horse under his crotch, and he was afraid that he couldn't even run a few steps at the moment.
"Once again, the Imperial City Guards have led their troops to defend His Majesty the Emperor of the Imperial Kingdom.
Your Excellency, since your ministry is a guest army, please stand back a little and do not offend the Imperial City. ” Adric threw these two sentences coldly.
This was very polite, but the smile on Gislent's face did not decrease by half a point, and he immediately turned his head, and deliberately shouted in a voice that could be heard on the other side: "Order, the whole army retreats two hundred steps back and exit this street, and no one is allowed to set foot in the square without my order." ” The Lantis silently lined up and retreated, and the gislent with a big smile on his face didn't mean to come forward to speak, but just turned his head and left, and before leaving, he cast a meaningful look, far away, as if he had thrown a sentence.
"Adric, Your Excellency is fighting for the country this time, Yanjing can survive, Your Excellency has made great contributions, and after the war, you will be rewarded for your meritorious deeds, I am afraid that the general will be the leader in the Byzantine army in the future, and I congratulate Your Excellency again."
In the face of such words, Adric did not make any statement, just looked at the other party coldly, and watched the black-pressed Lantis team completely withdraw from the street, far away on the street, leaving only dozens of sentry posts.
Adric turned over and dismounted, and the two guards around him came up to support him in a concealed posture, this general who has always been tough, and he didn't refuse anymore, he was really barely able to walk.
More than 2,000 remnants of the army stepped forward and occupied the square in front of the palace.
Hughes led the people away very simply, and without even packing up the tents and camps left before, two thousand people were hastily stationed around the square, still on guard.
It was only at this time that the gate of the palace, which was already mottled with blood and fire, finally opened slowly.
Several generals covered in blood, the first one, with an imperial eagle head flag in his hand, stepped out, and from a distance, he saw Adric's figure, and the general suddenly knelt down.
When he looked up, his face was covered in blood, his forehead was wrapped in gauze, and one eye was wrapped in it.
Adric was helped to the front, and the general, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly burst into tears.

Tears and blood on his face rolled down.
"General, we, hold on" Adric recognized this man, a flag officer in the city guard, a brave general in peacetime, who was obviously blind in one eye at the moment, kneeling there, but his body was trembling.
Adric took a deep breath, glanced at the man, and said in a deep voice, "What about Span?"
There was no answer, and the few people in front of him were all as silent as death.
When Adric saw General Span, he was sitting on the tower of the palace, and he still had a knife in his hand, which was so tightly held that the knuckles of his fingers were tense and white.
Span's lips were slightly long, and he sat on the floor, his back against the wall.
The wounds on his body, the blood has not dried yet, and the armor leaves on his chest have been turned over, and the flesh and blood are blurred.
There was no blood on his face, presumably wiped clean, his eyes open, and he refused to close them.
Spann is dead.
The death is absolute, and the death is very pathetic.
Seeing that the hardest time had passed, it seemed as if he was about to see the dawn sun, but Span was dead.
He died at the last moment before dawn.
Adrick stood in front of Span's corpse, quietly looking at this colleague, looking at this imperial general who had fought side by side with him for more than half a year, watching this man reach middle age, but he had achieved nothing before, but in this Great Patriotic War, he stood up and turned the tide.
Beside him, some of the officers and generals in the city guards were crying in a low voice, and some were silent.
Only the officer, who had lost one eye, spoke in a low voice.
"If you had come a little earlier, you might have been able to catch one last glimpse of Lord Span."
"The rebels rushed to the city gate, and finally went crazy, we fought hard for a long time, the brothers really couldn't resist, they were killed and scattered, and seeing that the city gate was about to be lost, Lord Spann rushed up with a few officers, desperately blocking the gap."
"The adult's body has been weak these days, and yesterday he was hit by an arrow, which only fell on the shoulder, and he lost a lot of blood."
"At that time, it couldn't be stopped, those rebels were all selected to dare to die, the adults took us to stop them desperately, a scuffle, most of the people who came up died in the past, but after all, they dared to go down, only the enemy retreated, but I saw the adults sit down by themselves, and leaned against the wall and stomped."
"The adults never show a little fatigue in front of people, even if they receive serious injuries, as long as they are in front of the soldiers, they are straight backs, and they don't even frown, at that moment I saw the adults suddenly sit down, and there was a thought in my heart: not good" "My lord was hit in the chest by the elite of the rebels with a prismal hammer.
Originally, his armor was already broken, and his body was weak, and he couldn't bear this blow.
When we ran to him, the adults were still conscious, but they couldn't lift their hands. ” His chest armor was shattered, and his ribs were deeply recessed, but I was afraid that the ribs were broken and poked into the lungs.
Why are we crying, but my lord's face is as usual, but blood is pouring out of his mouth."
As he spoke, the officer could not stop crying, clenched his fists, and knelt before Span's corpse, his voice trembling. is obviously a strong man, but he cries like a child.
Adric's eyes were red, but he only took a deep breath, and the tears didn't flow after all.
After a moment of silence, Adric whispered, "Did he have anything to say?"
The officer looked up, glanced at Adric, and then whispered, "There is only one sentence, Lord Span, before he died, he just looked at us, and kept saying a sentence in his mouth." ” "What" "My lord said: Blow the trumpet, let them hear our trumpet, let them know that we are still there, and the imperial city is still there."
"Trumpet, trumpet" Adric's face was gloomy, and he said the word softly in his mouth, and finally, he couldn't bear it any longer, and tears rolled down his face, and a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes Huo Ran turned around, he turned his head to look at the subordinates behind him, and shouted: "Someone has come to give orders" "Yes, sir."
One of his subordinates immediately stepped forward.
"The herald blows the trumpet and blows the triumphant trump" ''It's Chinese New Year's Eve, and when I renew, my mood is as cold as this winter.
I know I've been in a bad state lately, very bad.
But I can barely support it.
I was sick myself, but when I got better, something happened at home.
It's Chinese New Year's Eve, and when I update this chapter, the person has just returned from the hospital.
My father had a heart problem, and he was hospitalized, and today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the discharge procedures that were handled first at noon can be regarded as being able to go home for the New Year.
I listened carefully to all the things the doctor told me, but I really didn't feel good in my heart.
The Chinese New Year is big, but I don't have the joy of the New Year in my heart.
When I was in the hospital last night, looking at my sleeping father on the hospital bed, I had a feeling that I was willing to exchange everything I had for my father's physical health, but unfortunately I knew that I couldn't.
My father is sick, I am an only child, and the family has to rely on me, in the hospital, in front of my mother, I have to support the smiling face, I can't have a cloudy face, because at this time, if I am too pessimistic and low, it will make them more worried.
I had to make a "don't worry, it's no big deal" expression to put my parents at ease.
It's the New Year, and it's customary to say a few auspicious words to everyone.
Here, I will not say anything else, but just one sentence: I wish you all brothers and sisters good health and good family.
Well, yes, good health, lately, more and more feeling, the health of the body comes first.
