"Bastard!" Wang Nanqiu looked at the fortress in front of him and gritted his teeth in anger. In just one confrontation, half of the Main Legion he belonged to had been killed. These were the elite soldiers of the Main Legion. They were completely different from the cannon fodder of the conscripted legion.
"Inshou-sama, didn't you say that all the officers of the fortress are dead? This kind of strategy is not something that a few captains can come up with. The captains don't have such strong confidence. Did they fail last night? " Wang Nanqiu naturally did not dare to get angry at Hiroshi Inoue. However, in his eyes, the loss of this battle was indeed due to Hiroshi Inoue's lack of intelligence.
"Indeed, it is not something that a few captains can come up with, but …" Hiroshi Inoue suddenly changed the topic. Wang Nanqiu was already speechless.
"Last night, the captains and above were all dead. You did not attack the fortress, so you can go to hell!" Under the horrified gaze of the guards, Wang Nanqiu fell. He had always thought that Hiroshi Inoue would not dare to kill him when he had not achieved anything.
"Pass the order to the entire army! At dawn tomorrow, launch the general attack! "After saying that, Hiroshi Inoue disappeared from the central military tent. He was going to find the fortress commander for today.
Fortress, Legio IV.
"Everyone! The personnel have been allocated to you. Tomorrow, the Red Earth will definitely launch the general attack. Although we have the advantage of the city wall, we are seriously lacking in manpower. In terms of reinforcements, several major Main Legions of the Empire are far away. The nearby Golden Lions have to deal with the Black River Fortress. So, we can only rely on ourselves in this battle! " After promoting the original few captains with more outstanding performance to the Zero Hour Phalanx, Meng Xitang began to mobilize for war.
"Behind us are the elders."
"Behind us are the wives and children."
"Behind us is the country."
"I am the third son of the current King of Konuma Province, Meng Heshen, the current Third Prince, the acting Commander of the Kingdom's Legio IV."
"I, Meng Xitang, swear in the name of the royal family of Konuma Province."
"I swear to live and die with the fortress."
Dream River Hall swore passionately, and all the soldiers present were shouting.
"We swear to live and die with the fortress!"
"Who is it?!" Suddenly, a figure rushed towards Meng Xitang. There was a dagger in his hand, ready to take Dream River Hall's life.
"Protect the Legion Commander!" A few soldiers who were closest to Meng Xitang drew their weapons and stood in front of Meng Xitang.
"I was wondering how an army without a commander could be so cohesive! So there's a prince. " The black shadow passed through countless soldiers and stopped fifteen meters away from Meng Xitang, as if sizing up Meng Xitang. All the soldiers he touched along the way fell to the ground, dead with a single slash.
"Stage Nine Hsun Wushi! Commander Zhang was killed by you, the Eastern Ryukyu Empire is going to make a move! "As a Stage Five Martial Master, Meng Xitang could naturally see some of Hiroshi Inoue's strength. Furthermore, he also knew some information. There weren't many Stage Nine Martial Master s to begin with, and there were only a few Stage Nine Hsun Wushi s in a few empires.
"The target is only Long Hui, passing by your swamp. You can go on your way. "With that, the black shadow flashed towards Meng Xitang. In just an instant, the few captains beside Meng Xitang only had time to raise their weapons before they were sent flying. A short sword was stabbed into Meng Xitang's chest.
"I swear to live and die with the outline!" As he spoke, Meng Xitang took his last breath and grabbed onto Hiroshi Inoue's hands.
"Do it!" The captains had sorrowful expressions as they shouted into the darkness.
"What!" Hiroshi Inoue was shocked to see countless arrows shooting towards him from the darkness. He understood that he had fallen into a trap. Those crossbowmen had already aimed at Meng Xitang, and had never moved at all. The moment he killed Meng Xitang, he relaxed his vigilance towards the distance and did not sense it. He did not have time to break free from Meng Xitang's hands and began to dodge the arrows. Those were heavy crossbow arrows that could injure heavily armored infantry soldiers, it was not something that a human body could withstand.
"Eh!" After a round of volleys, Meng Xitang was used as a shield by Hiroshi Inoue, but the arrows pierced through the window. Meng Xitang also left a serious injury on Hiroshi Inoue's body.
"Ha! Ha! "Hiroshi Inoue laughed bitterly as he shook off Meng Xitang in his hands. He said to the Legio IV that surrounded him, "This old man has been around for more than 50 years and has never failed. I didn't expect to lose my life today because of a mistake. Where is the person who gave you the order? Let this old man, who is about to die, have an eye-opener. "
The only reply to him was the sound of heavy crossbows being loaded in the darkness. But he seemed to see that the Legio IV soldiers were confused and angry. He looked at Meng Xitang.
"Prince! This old man is worth it! "
Countless heavy crossbows fired in unison for the second round, turning Hiroshi Inoue into a hedgehog. The commander of the Eastern Ryukyu Empire's terrifying Night Shade Legion was besieged and killed in the fortress.
Six hours ago.
"Phew! Legion Commander! Phew! The Red Earth Army has retreated. "A captain panted and smiled at Meng Xitang.
"Yes! Gather all the captains except for the ones on duty in the conference room! "Meng Xitang looked at the retreating Red Earth Army and turned to leave the city wall.
Military conference room of the fortress.
"No! Commander, this is too dangerous. "One of the squad leaders argued with a flushed face.
"Yes! You are the prince! And you can represent the team if you are alive. "Countless captains agreed.
"But which one of you can guarantee that a Stage Nine Martial Master won't be able to see through you? Furthermore, you are a Stage Nine Martial Master who is proficient in assassination." Meng Xitang looked at all the captains present and said indifferently.
"We cannot take this risk. From the looks of it, this Stage Nine Martial Master does not want to start a massacre, or is afraid of death, so he did not appear on the main battlefield! However, he tried to assassinate Commander Zhang last night, so he will definitely try to assassinate our leader tonight. If your disguise fails, it might allow this Stage Nine Martial Master to kill people at the level of a captain in the army. This way, our army will have even less fighting strength. We can only do this! "Meng Xitang said to everyone.
"Disperse!" Let me rest. " Seeing that everyone had fallen silent, Meng Xitang signaled for everyone to leave. He wanted to be alone for a while.
"Big brother!" This little brother of mine is no worse than you. "Meng Xitang watched as the last person left the meeting room. He thought about the crown prince of Konuma Province who was often compared to others and smiled bitterly.
…/p
"Brothers!" Our acting commander, the Third Prince, died in battle tonight, proving the glory of the royal family to the world. When he died, he was the acting commander of our Legio IV. Like Commander Zhang, he died in the fortress. We will continue their faith, for their wives, for their elders, for the glory of the royal family of Konuma Province! "
