Pioneering

"The news should be true!" Lance looked at the scene in the photo stone where many nobles were showing condolences to Red, his face changing with excitement, struggle, fear, unwillingness...

"Your promise is tempting, but I can't promise it."

"I am a soldier, and soldiers must obey the commander's orders. I will not disobey His Majesty Arthur's orders because of my personal desires."

The man in black robe raised his hood in surprise, revealing Zhong Ming's handsome face: "Not even the right to inherit the throne?

Red is not a capable character. He has nothing but rigid aristocratic style and pink waste in his mind, and his martial arts is nothing but practice.

If you rise to the top, it may be more beneficial to the Hero Empire than snatching three melons and two dates from Yaxia. "

Lance's pupils shrank when he saw Zhong Ming's appearance. He hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head with difficulty: "I can't do anything that violates my principles. The competition between Red and I is a private matter, and war is a public matter. Collating with outsiders to obtain Profit is not what a knight should do.

The throne obtained by murdering my brother through such despicable means is not a symbol of glory for me, but a shackle that stings my soul. "

clap clap~
Zhong Ming applauded and chuckled: "What a soldier, what a chivalry! What a pity, what a pity!"

"What's a pity?" Lance's hair stood up instantly when he heard Zhong Ming's standard villain speech of killing people and silencing them. "Isn't it possible that the majestic monarch of Asia wants to bully the small and kill people to silence them?"

Lance witnessed with his own eyes that his idol's father, who was showing weakness, was quickly defeated by Zhong Ming. After more than 5 years of black iron history, a genius like Arthur was already extremely rare among human kings, and Zhong Ming was so able to fight. The number of monarchs can be counted on one hand.

This kind of person suddenly came to the door, and Lance couldn't help but be wary.

"What you said is quite double standards. Why is it not despicable for you to attack the minority with more than 80 knights from two countries and besiege Yashai? Is it despicable for me to use my tactics rationally?
And I'm only 33. You guys are much older than me, not to mention your 200-year-old father. There are very few nobles in your coalition army who are younger than me. I also said that you rely on your elders to sell off your elders and bully them. Small! "

"But don't worry, I'm not the kind of barbarian who kills people if we can't reach an agreement. I'm a civilized person."

"I will make you willingly cooperate with me."

Lance frowned and asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"

"That's what you think," Zhong Ming spread his hands, "You don't think your father, Arthur, would give up such a good opportunity to take action against Fritz, do you?
The group is leaderless and the country is empty. Coincidentally, the son of an ally was assassinated on his own territory. No matter how you look at it, Fritz is at fault.

Emperor Hero, who loves his son dearly, sends troops to seek justice for his son. Is there any problem? "

Haha, you are just waiting for your father to give you an order and then stab Leon in the back, or you are planning with me now on how to better complete the mission you are about to receive.Just a little earlier and a little later. "

Zhong Ming turned around and left without looking back: "Innocent knight, we are about to enter the era of great mergers. The short and awkward aristocratic etiquette will soon shatter like the bubbles blown by a naughty boy. Under the bright sunshine.”

"You are a little better than that useless Red, but not much better. I am worried about the future of the Hero Empire."

Lance stood there for a long time before sighing and disappearing into the night.

……

At the same time, Lyon did not receive news of the assassination of the prince from his domestic ally.In his eyes, there is still only the ambition to win.In his heart, Lance was just a somewhat stubborn and decent talent who was worthy of fighting alongside him.

However, not long after, Lance was the first to receive news from the Hero Empire. Not only did it confirm that what Zhong Ming said was true, but he also sent an order to retain his strength, act according to the opportunity, and use Yaxia's hands to destroy Lyon as much as possible. .

Leon then also received the news that Prince Red was seriously injured and comatose after being assassinated. For a moment, he didn't know what to do except yelling.

Is the relationship between the two alliances still reliable?

How to face the accountability of the Hero Empire?
Will Arthur take action against the army he left behind the Knock defense line?Or simply lead the army back to the division and attack Fritz directly?
We are about to break into one of the five core provinces of Asia. Are the [-] Thunder Tooth Dragon Knights led by Lance around us still reliable?
In other words, should we continue to march?Why not give up?
With deep caution, Leon slowed down when he was closest to "success".

Late at night, Lyon's 5 men began to be stationed separately from Lance. Lance was also vaguely aware of Lyon's wariness towards him, and secretly complained.

And Zhong Ming took the opportunity to find him again.

"You got the news? Your father is going to fall out with Leon." Zhong Ming stretched lazily.

"So?" Lance said silently, "My father didn't order me to directly attack our allies, right?"

"Don't be so rigid. Let me guess, your father is instructing you to use your strength to fight and kill people with a knife, and use my Yaxia's knife to stab Leon to death, right?
When the time comes, you will inevitably have to send me information privately, leave traces, and even cooperate with me to lead him into a trap.

This is not much different from ordering you to take action directly, it just looks better in appearance. "

"As long as you give up this little bit of face, I can help you kill your eldest brother and let you sit in the position you dream of. It's just a slightly greater loss and a worse reputation. But your father only has you two children. He I have no choice!”

Lance: "I..."

"Hey," Zhong Ming shook his head regretfully, "You are such a stubborn idiot, so don't blame me."

Two days later, everything was calm. The best of the [-] elites entered the western province of Asia, and were able to plunder some of the unharvested summer grain along the way.

The five rich core provinces have greatly eased the logistical pressure on the [-] Warcraft Knights. Lyon couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that Yaxia was just too ruthless in clearing the country.

At this time, the outgoing spies brought an unexpected letter to Lyon, which was stamped with the royal paint of the Heroic Empire.

Leon recalled the recent strange sense of attention and the strange behavior of Lance after Red was assassinated. He became increasingly uneasy and opened the envelope by mistake.

After flipping through the envelope, Leon's face turned red, and he was so angry that he almost wanted to burn the letter: "We can't fight, we still have to withdraw. No, with those Heroes on the side, whether we can withdraw now is still a question... …simply……"

Leon's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

late at night.

The moonlight was dim, and Lyon led his elite army to quietly approach the Lance station.In the darkness, they were as fast and silent as phantoms in the night.

The cold wind howled, and Leon's eyes were determined, revealing the determination and firmness in his heart.About fifty thousand knights lined up neatly behind him, their armors shining with cold light, which was truly spectacular in the moonlight.Lyon's giant bear knights approached cautiously.

The armor of their armored knights is inlaid with rock-like patterns, symbolizing their fighting spirit.

They are armed with torches, sharp spears and loaded enchanted firearms. Each knight has a burning gaze, as if they are destined to crush the enemy under their feet.

They firmly believe that no matter who the enemy is, His Majesty Lyon will be able to bring them final victory.

As they approached Lance's camp, Leon gave the order to attack.A clear horn sound pierced the quiet night sky, and then the army launched a fierce attack like flames.

They charged into the enemy camp like a violent storm, their weapons gleaming in the darkness, and a flaming aura of aggression filled the air.

Lyon's Bear Knights showed extremely high combat skills and quick decision-making. They divided into small teams and ran rampant, accurately throwing torches onto flammable objects, catching shadows with spear points, and piercing the air with javelins.

The knights of Reims were frightened by this sudden attack. They struggled and fought, but they seemed irresistible in the face of the morale-fueled frenzy of the Lyon army.

The position suddenly fell into chaos, with wailing, metal clashing, and the neighing of war horses converging into a terrifying symphony of battle.

Leon personally led the troops to the front, fighting head-on in the enemy's defense line. His weapons danced like a violent storm, and every swing of his sword carried the power of destruction.He takes the lead, and the charm of the military situation inspires the fighting passion of everyone in the team.

Relying on their tactical cooperation and excellent individual abilities, Lyon's army launched multiple violent attacks on Reims' defense line, scattering the Earthly Dragon Knights who were trying to form an orderly counterattack and forcing them to retreat.The offensive is like a volcanic eruption, spreading continuously, full of aggressive momentum and unstoppable power.

At this time, Lance hurriedly gathered hundreds of close guards and hurriedly arrived, looking at the burning camp and Leon and others who were taking the opportunity to massacre the Earthly Dragon Knight.

"Leon, you madman, what on earth are you going to do?" Lance collapsed hysterically.

The entire battlefield was shrouded in burning flames and chaos, and billowing smoke filled the air.

However, Leon accurately confirmed the location of Lance, and roared several hundred meters away: "You still have the nerve to ask me what I want to do, Lance, I already know everything about your Hero Empire's plans."

Lang was immediately discouraged: "We have something to discuss. Besides, it was you who were at fault first, so we..."

"Damn it!" Leon yelled, "Did you make a mistake first? I and you have been going deep behind enemy lines with our heads high for the victory of the war. Who knew that your Prince Red was running around and leaving the banquet, and it could be me who was assassinated? Arranged?
Even if we are at fault for not taking good care of you, are you ready to kill me? "

When Lance thought of Arthur's instructions to borrow a knife to kill someone, he felt uncertain and didn't know how to refute or dissuade him.

Lance was stunned for a moment, looking at the Earthly Dragon Knights who were being hunted like grass. These were the most elite members of the Hero Empire!

"Formation! Formation! Move closer to me and prepare to counterattack!" Lance shouted.

"Haha, no way!" Leon laughed and raised his weapon, "Array!"

After hearing the order, the giant bear knights who were encircling and suppressing them all adjusted their positions tacitly. The mysterious and mysterious sense of connection emerged again. The boiling energy and spirit were connected with the heaven and earth. The giant bear in the clouds, which was much looser and fatter, slowly rose.

"How is that possible!" Lance was dumbfounded as he looked at the Bear Knights who were scattering and cutting their own soldiers while forming a formation to condense the clouds. It was like a savage from the Stone Age who saw a fighter jet flying across the sky.

"It's over..." Lance closed his eyes silently, regretting not simply obeying Zhong Ming's invitation.

After a moment, Leon wiped his face stained with the blood of his former ally, and stepped on Lance's chest with a grin. The shouts of death gradually began to subside.

But there was no trace of the Earthly Dragon Knight.

"How can you do this to the prince of our Hero Empire? This is our ally. Do you understand?" Leon gestured and patted the cheek of the soldier who came over to him.

Lyon naturally knew a lot about the internal situation of the Hero Empire, especially the legendary deeds of Arthur, who he once regarded as an idol. It was not surprising to know that Lance was Arthur's son.

"Don't bother, Leon, tell me, what do you want to do? You don't think that you can threaten His Majesty's two sons by holding his hands, do you? That is a man like a lion, and he will never do it for The cubs bowed their heads." Lance closed his eyes and turned his head and said, "These earthly dragon knights you attacked are all descendants of our country's nobles, many of whom are heirs of noble families. Because of your despicable behavior, the blood and fire between us has broken. It’s already hard to extinguish.”

"Oh, then I really want to try it, that lion's weak point, haha~" Leon kicked him down, "Why are you pretending to be a victim! It's like I'm planning to get you first!"
You must have colluded with Yaxia to lay many ambushes, right? Wait until I get out, and then I'll have a good fight with you!
Now, lead the way for me first, lead me to a way out! "

……

Zhong Ming, who was silently paying attention to the good show, stopped the recording with satisfaction. A few days later, Yaxia's intelligence department made an urgent effort, and a photographic stone was transported to the camp of the Heroic Empire Expeditionary Force in front of the Nok defense line.

That night, the sound of things breaking could be heard all the time.

The next day, Arthur invited General Tam, who replaced Lyon to command the remaining army of the Fritz Empire, to a banquet and invited them to discuss how to put more pressure on the Knock defense line and cover the actions of the attacking troops of the two countries.

Tam happily went there with more than a hundred knights.

During the dinner, with the wine in full swing, Arthur suddenly burst out and captured Tam alive.

At the same time, the Heroic Empire's army suddenly raided the Fritz Expeditionary Force camp. Unprepared, more than 30 knights who lost their command fled in panic. After being violently attacked, Arthur took Tam and ordered the Fritz Expeditionary Force. surrender.

Except for the 4000 giant bear knights who were Lyon's henchmen, they fought their way out under the command of the adjutant and broke out of the siege after leaving more than 30 corpses. More than half of the remaining [-] knights collapsed, some were killed or injured, and some surrendered.

Tam's eyes were splitting: "Arthur, I thought you were some kind of great hero, but I didn't expect you were just a villain! You must have proposed the guest right at the Mainland Human Race Conference back then, you despicable and shameless villain !”

Arthur patted his face: "Despicable, is never a bad adjective for a ruler, kid, you are too young!"

"Well said, mean, the motto of a successful man!"

"So, Mr. Arthur, I'm sorry!"

Zhong Ming laughed. (End of chapter)
