Arad's Sword

Chapter 604 Light Falls from the Sky
However, Reinhardt calmed down after hearing the words from the "King Emperor".

"Even if I return to the empire now, what will be waiting for me?"

Reinhardt smiled and asked lightly.

Of course, he didn't expect any answers from Philip.

The reason why the fourth prince chose the Falcon Group was partly because of his admiration and even awe for Midi, but he would still insist on staying after Midi had been missing for more than a year. Here, it is obviously not simply due to personal emotional tendencies.

For a prince, for a brilliant politician, the feeling of "loyalty" never existed.

In fact, Reinhardt can be said to be taking a big gamble.

In other words, this is his only choice.

From the very beginning, when Reinhardt was exiled into the sea of ​​clouds in the sky, he knew very well that his father, the "King of Swords" Yoren chose the second prince Philip as his heir instead of him.

Therefore, he must gather strength for himself. Even if he cannot win the throne of the empire, he must at least have the strength to protect himself.

This is the reason why Reinhardt has always been on the side of the Kingdom of Belle Mare.

In this way, it can be said that he has the power of an entire country as his backing. Even if the throne of the Delos Empire is passed to Philip, he will not be imprisoned by his cruel and suspicious brother, or directly Poisoned.

Now, even if Philip brought out the words of the "Emperor of Swords" Yoren, what would happen to Reinhardt?
Whether or not being labeled a traitor awaits the end of Reinhardt will not make much difference.

As for the deprivation of the prince's status, that's even more of a joke.

In fact, when the throne was decided to be passed on to the second prince Philip, for others, the status of "Prince" has become a life-threatening talisman!

Therefore, when he calmed down, Reinhardt didn't take the sword emperor's words seriously.

Now that he has decided to bet on the Kingdom of Bel Mare and on Midi, it is natural to stick to it.

Giving up halfway will only lead to failure, and only if you stick to it, there may be a chance for a comeback.

And after seeing Reinhardt's expression, Philip already understood the other party's choice without any answer.

After all, in the final analysis, no matter how much they loathe each other, they are still brothers who know each other well.

"It seems, Reinhardt, you have decided to go all the way to the dark. You are really obsessed." Philip smiled, but the next moment, his tone became as sharp as a blade, "If that's the case, then there is nothing wrong with me." You're very polite."

"The empire hasn't been polite so far, has it?"

Reinhardt replied sharply.

"Huh, without shame, do you think that just a fortress and the falcon group put together by these messy mercenaries can resist the army of the empire?" Philip said again, "Or do you think Wiseman can What did you find?"

When he heard these words, even if the city was as deep as Reinhardt, his expression changed slightly.

You know, half a year ago, the battle between the Kingdom of Belle Mare and the Empire of Delos was still at a stalemate.

Although both sides suffered heavy losses, neither of them took advantage.

However, after that, the combat effectiveness of the army of the Delos Empire took a significant leap.

It was obvious that the ranks of those imperial soldiers were not high, still within the original range of 45 to 55. However, in frontal combat, their strength far exceeded the normal range of rank assessment.

It was this terrifying power that caused the army of the Kingdom of Belmar to retreat steadily until today.

Of course Reinhardt discovered this problem, and specially sent the necromancer Wiseman to sneak back into the empire to investigate the root of the problem.

In Reinhardt's view, although delaying tactics can only be adopted on the frontal battlefield, once he understands the secret of the sudden strengthening of the Imperial Army, Belle Mare is not without a chance to turn the tables.

However, at this moment, when Philip pointed out this point, Reinhardt knew that the last card he could look forward to had been invalidated.

Either something happened to Wiseman, or he was forced to act, but either way, Reinhardt would lose the opportunity to spy on the secrets of the empire.

And under such circumstances, if they continue to fight head-on, sooner or later the front line will collapse directly.

The change in Reinhardt's face made Philip very satisfied.

This is exactly what he wanted to see.

Glancing coldly at the representatives of the Kingdom of Belle Mare, the second prince said again: "Perhaps, you think you can delay for a few days and continue to linger on, but even with Reinhardt here That’s right, everything is in vain, we will launch an attack soon, but I want to see how long the Falcon Group established by Midi Asrex can resist it!”

Accompanied by his words, a general beside the second prince immediately sent out a signal.

The next moment, the imperial army in the distance immediately gathered into an army under this signal, and in the huge battle formation composed of tens of thousands of people, patches of dust suddenly rose.

Then, the loud sound of bugles and war drums also sounded.

Under the restless army, the entire Great Plain seemed to be trembling slightly.

At the same time, compared to the power of the imperial army, the fortress of the Kingdom of Bel Mare was completely silent.

There was no shouting or beating of war drums. The soldiers of the Falcon Regiment seemed determined to answer with silence, and spent every ounce of energy on the battle itself carefully and carefully.

As for the aura of the opponent, for the Falcon Group, which has long been a master of battles, it is no different from a breeze blowing on the face.

Since it was an army built by Midi, how could it be shaken by this movement?

In the end, can it only be delayed for such a day?

Although the result of the breakdown of the negotiations had long been expected, deep in Reinhardt's heart, he was somewhat helpless.

Facing a new round of endless offensives, as acting head, how would he find a way out for the Falcon Group and even the Kingdom of Belmare?
"Master Reinhardt, we'd better retreat as soon as possible."

On the side, Dixon said to Reinhardt while staring coldly at Philip and the others who swaggered away.

Although it is relatively far away from the imperial army, and it will take some time for the two sides to formally start a war, it is definitely not a good choice to stay here at this moment.

However, in a cloudy sky, light suddenly appeared.

A pale golden light was like a shooting star across the sky, piercing the leaden gray sky, piercing through the thick clouds, illuminating the entire Peloponnese Great Plains, and then falling directly in the center of the Great Plains .

The next moment, two figures slowly walked out of the light.

The place where Reinhardt and Philip were negotiating happened to be in the middle of the plain, so it was very close to the place where the ray of light fell.

The moment they saw this light, the thoughts that popped up in the minds of both sides were almost exactly the same—this was a conspiracy set up by the other party using negotiation!
Therefore, when the light dissipated, whether it was Reinhardt's side or Philip's side, all the guards rushed forward, swords and shields raised, looking like their swords were on the verge of breaking out.

At the same time, most of them involuntarily turned their gazes to this incomparably sharp pale golden light.

What kind of light is it that can tear the clouds and the sky with such momentum?

Reinhard asked himself this way, and he couldn't help but think of a guy who used "Flying Sword Dance" to move around.

And the next moment, the young man with black hair and black eyes appeared directly in front of his eyes.

Walking out of the light slowly was none other than Midi Asrex.

"Middy!"

"It's Lord Midi!"

"It's the deputy head!"

In an instant, on Belmar's side, everyone who saw Midi's face was shaken.

At this moment, uncontrollable smiles appeared on their faces, as if they had forgotten that the enemy was right in front of them, and that they were on the battlefield.

Even Reinhardt himself, who has always been calm, was completely stunned at this moment. While his mind was blank, he felt suddenly relieved.

Compared with the fanaticism of the Falcon Group, the feeling of the Empire can be said to have fallen into an ice cellar.

When the previous covenant was concluded in Gran's Forest, Midi had deliberately released Longwei, which made Philip almost breathless when he was suppressed.

Because of this, although he only met Midi once, Philip felt that it was impossible for him to forget Midi's appearance in his life.

At this moment, seeing that Midi, who had been missing for more than a year and was even regarded as a dead person, appeared at this most critical moment, Philip felt like he was having a nightmare.

If this is really a nightmare, he only hopes that he can wake up sooner.

However, the cheers from the Falcon Regiment and the coercion that emanated from the light made Philip understand that this is a real reality.

"Phantom? I didn't expect your Falcon Group to play this trick."

Philip sneered, trying to hide the shock in his heart, and said reluctantly.

"Philip, I didn't expect you to be the kind of person who buries his head in the sand like an ostrich when he encounters something he can't understand. Can't you tell whether the Midi Asrex in front of you is an illusion or a real person?" come out?"

Reinhardt immediately replied, this time, his answer was full of confidence and confidence.

Philip was about to refute, but the next moment, a young but majestic voice finally rang out.

"Looks like I'm here just in time."

Midi said lightly.

He first nodded to Reinhardt and the backbone of the Falcon Group, and then turned his gaze to the second prince Philip who had a very stiff expression.
