in the name of the queen.

Chapter 235 March on, Alina!
Although Roland's plan sounded a bit outrageous, Alina still chose to accept it.

She knew very well that she didn't have many cards in her hand, and if she didn't dare to play hard, she wouldn't stand a chance.

After seizing the beachhead, the landing troops assembled on the shore and quickly set up camp in preparation for the march to Port-If tomorrow.

They only had a small number of light cannons and were not equipped to attack the city.

If the defenders of Port-If cannot hold on, they will have no choice but to turn around and run away.

Even if the garrison of Port-Ife comes out, if these people cannot be made to defect, it will be a dead end.

Although Roland promised to give Alina divine blessing, this thing is not really invincible.

If more than a hundred bullets hit her at the same time, the protective barrier will be broken and she will be shot into a sieve on the spot.

All in all, it's a big gamble.

The bet was not only that his father's reputation was high enough, but also that Marco would offend everyone.

As long as they enter a state of war, Sirte's power will override them.

Although they were reluctant in their hearts, they chose to respect the facts.

"Do you want to face the wrath of the president?"

Will it win?
The stars twinkled silently.

Blood flowed into the sewer, and even many small animals hiding in the sewer were trembling with fear.

The mature and prudent mayor suggested holding on, and the port director, who was worried about the impact of the war on port trade, even suggested giving Alina a sum of money to allow her to bypass Port-If and go to La Cité to avenge her enemies.

There is no turning back, and they don't want to.

They wore dazzling red tops and had a cloth band wrapped around their arms that read "Freedom."

It is safe to hold on to the city, but in the eyes of President Marco, it is a sign of cowardice and incompetence. Paying protection money privately to let Alina leave is a naked betrayal.

He has the power to expand the army, take over finance and taxation, and even intervene in personnel appointments.

It is said that on November 11 alone, thousands of people were beheaded in the square.

Xingkong is not a spiritual mentor, she must find the answer herself.

Their powers change at any time depending on the situation.

The mayor and the port director looked at each other with helplessness.

They carried muskets on their backs and sang neat military songs, and their morale was high.

The mayor and harbormaster broke into a cold sweat.

Even Carlo is no match for President Marco, let alone such a young Alina.

Since Marco was determined to win, of course they had to be on the side of the winner.

Don't try to hide this kind of thing. As long as Marco recovers, no one here can think about it.

The mayor represents the administrative system, the harbor master represents the commercial and trade system, and Soult represents the military.

If she had found a place to hide, she might still have a chance to survive. The consequences of being sent to her door could be imagined.

As the Rangers advanced, there was almost a commotion in Port Yves.

Of course they understand this, they just don't want Sirte to have all the power.

Soult dismissed the ideas of the civil servants with just one sentence.

They are fearless.

Although it was unclear why Alina came back to seek death, they were pretty sure Marco would win.

Either go to the guillotine in Xidai City to test how hard the neck is, or wait for the imperial envoy to come down and give death.

Seeing the pale faces of the mayor and port administrator, General Soult said with a smile:

Early the next morning, after a short rest, the Rangers army began to march towards Port-If.

In the eyes of President Marco, human lives are just a bunch of numbers.

Of course they knew that the leaders and those behind the rebellion were guillotined.

The faces of the mayor and harbor master instantly turned pale.

The opinions of the civilian officials quickly collapsed in the contemptuous sneer of the garrison general Soult.

Alina looked up at the stars and screamed from her soul.

The President's most indispensable thing is enemies, but they are all dead.

They had lost everything a long time ago, and every day they were picked up from Vaal City was earned.

This time it was up to the old fellow Soult to gain the upper hand.

There is no local council in the Golden Yuan Republic, and these three people are the highest officials.

They carried only ten rounds of ammunition, which was enough for one battle.

"I heard that a lot of unscrupulous people were incited to attack the castle prison in Xidai City last month. You should know the fate of these people."

The mayor and port director looked helplessly at General Soult and could only agree with his point of view.

Soon, more than 20,000 of the 30,000 garrison troops marched towards Alina under the leadership of Soult.

After half a day's march, Alina and Soult met at noon.

Alina looked back at Roland, who was following in disguise.

"Mr. Roxif, can I come in?"

After all, Roland is the governor of the Sussex Empire, and it is not appropriate to openly participate in the civil war of the Golden Kite. If someone knew about it, it might affect Alina's approval rating.

What the people of Jinyuan need is a savior, not rebellious officials and traitors who collude with foreigners.

They are willing to support Alina, the goddess of revenge, but will not support someone who is manipulated by foreign forces.

Roland's disguise was a must, and she helped make even his invisibility mask.

What Alina wanted to complain about was not Roland's hidden identity, but Roxif's weird name.

It doesn't sound like a Sussex name, nor does it sound like a Golden Kite name.

She vaguely felt that this was splicing Roland's name prefix and Sif's name together.

With Roland's approval, Alina gained a little more courage.

Some things have to be faced eventually.

Did more than a hundred soldiers shoot at her?

If her appeal is really that bad, she really deserves to die.

When the two armies met in the wilderness, neither side was in a hurry to shoot, but formed their formations according to the requirements of the officers.

Both sides spread out a horizontal line on the plain as much as possible.

The soldiers in the front row raised their guns, and the soldiers in the back row waited uneasily.

Once the front-line soldiers fell, they had to step up.

The soldiers in the first row silently prayed that the bullets would not hit them.

Most firearms of this era did not even have aiming devices, and hits depended entirely on faith. Soldiers would pray silently before shooting, hoping that the gods of their faith would bless them.

The soldiers in the second row were also praying. They prayed that they would never have to stand on the front line.

The soldiers were praying, but Alina didn't need to.

She took off her mask and walked calmly towards the center of the battlefield.

She stared at Soult.

She had met Soult a few times when her father was secretly in power, but they had no friendship.

Soult is a standard neutral general, loyal to whoever comes to power.

To be precise, his allegiance is to the Golden Kite Republic. As for whether the person in charge of the Golden Kite Republic is Carlo or Marco, he doesn't care.

No matter who comes to power, a pure soldier like him will be reused.

A soldier should not stand in line at this time. All he has to do is carry out orders.

President Marco's evaluation criteria for this mission are very simple. Capturing Alina alive is excellent, killing Alina is qualified, and letting Alina escape is zero points.

Some people always say that Marco is too extreme, but he himself is not convinced.

He also thoughtfully set up the option of passing between full score and zero score.

He will never accept the extreme statement that he is extreme. This is a naked slander.

Alina's actions in the battle were very cool, but Soult did not want to follow suit.

The traitor Alina is a supernatural being, but he is not.

Although it is not clear Alina's current specific strength, it is still simple to deal with him.

There seems to be an entire world between ordinary people and extraordinary beings. The upper limit of ordinary people is only the entry level of extraordinary people. He didn't want to be pretentious and walked up to talk to Alina.

If Alina took action without following the rules, who would he find to reason with?

"Soldiers, prepare to shoot!"

Faced with Alina's slightly arrogant approach, Surte calmly issued the order.

His mind was racing, wondering why Alina did what she did.

First rule out the possibility of Alina committing suicide.

He had seen Alina when she was young. She was a little girl who knew how to advance and retreat.

Human nature is hard to change, and Alina would not be so reckless.

He also didn't believe that Alina wanted to break up the formation of the Port-If army and reverse the situation of the war.

Only Sophia is such a powerful transcendent.

If Sophia came in person, he would be a little worried, but now it's just Alina.

He had heard about Alina's combat performance. Her ability to defeat a company of soldiers was considered extraordinary, but trying to change a battle involving tens of thousands of people on her own was simply nonsense.

Since he is not seeking death, nor is he trying to break the formation alone, then it is a conspiracy!
Soult's eyes lit up, he thought of it!

The muskets were slow to reload and it took at least two minutes before a second salvo could be fired.

Two minutes are enough time for the enemy to charge and tear the entire defense line apart.

So Alina must have wanted to use herself as bait to deceive the first round of volleys and create a time difference.

To be fair, Soult's inference is logically closed and there is nothing wrong with it.

It's a pity that he met Alina who didn't play by the rules.

She didn't come here to cheat, and she didn't even allow her subordinates to fire, just to persuade them to surrender.

It is not easy to persuade someone to surrender. It is only slightly easier if you are stronger than the other party. The degree of ease is directly proportional to the strength gap between the two sides.

Alina's army was far less effective on paper than the defenders of Port-If, and trying to persuade them to surrender was a farce, so Sirte didn't think about it at all.

Without much hesitation, he ordered the most trusted soldiers to shoot at Alina, while the others remained ready to shoot to prevent Alina's army from charging during the reloading period.

There are more than a hundred personal guards sent to the front line, and they can kill Alina no matter how inaccurate they are.

Soult let out a long breath, feeling relieved a lot from his nervousness.

Whatever conspiracy Alina had, it was useless.

Because she is dead.

The firearms equipped by the Guards are different from the cannon fodder. In normal training, their first hit rate exceeds 30%.

According to this ratio, at least forty bullets hit Alina.

Extraordinary beings are also made of flesh and blood and are subject to death.

Alina will become the first transcendent in the history of Jin Yuan Kingdom to be beaten into a hornet's nest on the battlefield.

What a beautiful girl, and so young, what a pity. Even Mr. Carlo is no match for President Marco. How can a young girl under the age of twenty still want to overturn the world?

Seeing Alina clearing her throat and starting to speak, Soult's patience ran out and he gave the firing order to the Guards.

Following his order, the Guards responded to Alina's surrender speech with gunshots.

She spoke well, and the soldiers also felt that President Marco was too extreme. Many of them thought of Mr. Carlo when they looked at Alina.

If Mr. Carlo was still here, how could the Kingdom of Jinyuan be like this?

The fact that a tyrannical insect like Marco can lead the country shows how ugly the situation is.

People desperately need a savior, but this savior is definitely not Alina.

Because she is going to die.

The Guards raised their rifles with simple mechanical sights, all aimed at Alina.

As the general's order was issued, gunfire rang out at the same time.

Less than twenty bullets hit Alina.

It wasn't that the guards were frightened by Alina's swaying kingly aura and shot away, but that many soldiers felt that Alina was already dead, so they chose to shoot the gun slightly too high.

After all, Alina claimed to fight for the people and freedom. Many soldiers who knew Mr. Carlo as a person did not want to kill the only daughter of the liberator Carlo with their own hands.

Even if Alina must die, they don't want to be the executioners.

In short, let others bear the guilt of killing Alina.

There are many in the Guards who sympathize with Alina's mercy, and naturally there are also those who are firmly on General Soult's side.

Although they couldn't bear it, they fired anyway.

Their wages are paid by the government, and their allegiance is to President Marco.

As for Alina? I can only hope that she can successfully cross the River Styx and prepare for the reincarnation competition.

The roar of gunfire startled the soldiers on both sides.

Many recruits in Sirte's army fired subconsciously, without even noticing that the distance was beyond the design distance of ordinary muskets.

The moment they pulled the trigger, Roland activated Divine Blessing.

[Holy Blessing], activate!

Roland's thoughts changed, and a pale golden light enveloped Alina.

Her beauty was already ranked in the top ten of the Magic Mirror Women list. At this moment, her body was shrouded in holy golden light. In addition, she was hit by twenty bullets but remained unscathed. The soldiers were dumbfounded.

Is this still human? This is simply a miracle.

The soldiers who had just started looting were even more frightened.

"Soldiers, if you want to kill the Saint of Vengeance who will lead you to freedom and victory, then keep shooting."

"The Saint of Vengeance returns to the world from the underworld on the flames. She will lead you to march towards Xidai. Put down your weapons and come to me. This is your last chance."

Alina's voice is full of magnetism and particularly beautiful.

Coupled with the fact that they had been shot dozens of times, many soldiers began to doubt their lives.

Not only were the soldiers dumbfounded, but Soult was also stunned.

Are extraordinary beings so powerful? He had also come into contact with some extraordinary beings, and the strength they displayed was incomparable to Alina's.

Did he do something wrong again?

Watching from the corner of his eye, the golden light on Alina's body gradually dimmed, Surte gritted his teeth and prepared to take risks.

This golden light is Alina's amulet.

Now that the golden light is dim, the mysterious power that protected her should disappear.

"Guards, keep firing!"

Soult's order was given, and the Janissaries continued shooting without hesitation.

But this time the effect is much worse. The poisonous chicken soup of raising the muzzle a little is achieved here.

In the second round, only nineteen bullets hit Alina, and the dim golden light on her body suddenly became as dazzling as the sun.

Her speech continued.

Surte's face looked ugly, like a corpse.

The moment he looked at Alina just now, he understood what she meant.

"Idiot, the fading of the golden light is just an act."

Sirte's body was stiff and he had difficulty breathing.

He saw countless black holes with guns pointed at him.

Obviously, these soldiers were shocked by Alina's divine performance.

They decided to turn from darkness to light.

Surt was their token of surrender to Roland.

He knew he was dead. He was not an extraordinary person who could catch bullets with his body.

Just as the condensed movie of his short life was playing in Soult's mind, a gunshot rang out.

At least five hundred angry soldiers chose to take action. Although their accuracy was poor, they had more guns.

Surt is not a supernatural being, he is dead.

When his body fell heavily, the light in his eyes gradually disappeared.

This damn beautiful world has nothing to do with him anymore.
