alien army

Chapter 398 Retreat

In the middle of the night, Zihu hurried into the headquarters of the Third Army.

All the officers above the legion army are here.In the headquarters, the lights were bright, and the atmosphere was somewhat dignified.

As soon as Prince Jacques, the head of the legion, looked up, he saw Zihu standing at the door.

He beckoned: "Zihu, come here quickly, I'll be waiting for you!"

Zihu walked to the table, took a chair beside the prince and sat down: "Is there any big action?"

Because he was a good friend with Prince Jacques, he had a special status in the Third Army.As a member of the Tiger Clan who has been loyal to the royal family for generations and has produced many good generals, he is deeply appreciated and trusted by the Beast King.His Royal Highness, who is the head of the legion, not only needs to be familiar with how to handle soldiers, but also needs a lot of time to learn how to become a qualified ruler of the empire.Therefore, although Zihu is the deputy head of the army in name, most of the daily training and other affairs of the army are taken care of by him personally.In other words, he is the de facto controller of the Third Army

But there is one exception, and that is when the Third Army performs combat missions.

"Has the battle situation changed?" Zihu asked in a low voice in the prince's ear after sitting down.

Jacques replied in a low voice: "Father urgently summoned the Third Army to return to the capital, we have to set off tomorrow."

Zihu's complexion changed when he heard the words, and just as he was about to ask, Jacques winked at him and shook his head.

Then, Jacques announced to everyone the order of the Beast Emperor to transfer the third army to the capital, and then began to arrange various tasks for the army to move out.

In the end, he said to everyone: "I hope that all the preparations can be completed before noon tomorrow, so that the army can march towards the capital before dusk. The empire is in the middle of a war, and the situation is changing rapidly. In the hearts of all generals, there must be war, Get ready for a tough fight!"

After the generals left, Jacques left Zihu behind.

"The form is not good for us now!" Jacques looked at him and said with a wry smile.

Zihu: "After our army entered Huoyun territory, didn't it go smoothly?"

"That's just an appearance! I got the news that Ming Luo led his army to stop after reaching Priseli City. He originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the Huoyun Empire and the Blood God Cult to destroy both sides in one fell swoop." The Eagle Legion, but in the end, I found that the Black Eagle Legion is still a very difficult bone. I wondered, he still hasn't figured out where to start! The victories are piled up!"

"Is this the reason why His Majesty transferred the Third Army back to the capital?" Zihu asked puzzled.Although Jacques was the heir appointed by the Beast Emperor long ago, it was not a wise decision for the prince who had not succeeded to lead the army to enter the capital, because the Beast Emperor had more than one son.

Jacques sighed: "After the start of this war, we have been in an independent and helpless situation. The emperor Schiller of the Sith Kingdom has announced his abdication, and Iverson, a member of the former Sith royal family, has become the new ruler of the kingdom. In the past two years He has been following Liuyun all the time, and has now sent a general to lead an army of [-] to the border of the empire. After the situation in the Asman Empire stabilized, Emperor Linmei ordered the commander of the Marshal Army to lead [-] troops, and now the soldiers are in Huoyun The frontier fortress may enter Huoyun territory at any time to support Priseli City and fight against my army. I really don’t understand why the father insists on going his own way and makes such a gamble with all his strength! If the bet loses, the orcs will face another What kind of fate?"

"Your Highness, you don't have to worry too much now. The Sith's National Defense Army is just a hastily assembled force, and its combat effectiveness will not be too strong. Our border army should be able to handle it. On the battlefield of Huoyun, there is also the army led by Lord Ming Luo. 30 troops."

"The National Defense Army is likely to have weapons that the Black Eagle Legion can only have. Once a war on the border breaks out, I am afraid it will not be so optimistic. Although Ming Luo has done a lot for the empire, I am still a little worried about him! And what I'm really worried about is the capital city!"

Zihu hurriedly asked: "What happened in the capital?"

"Father's letter. Recently, imperial ministers have been assassinated one after another. Military targets, logistics bases, and important government agencies in and around the capital are constantly being attacked. Rumors are spreading among the people, and the people's anti-war sentiment is extremely high. But our City Guards and Public Security Bureau Well, I can't even find the enemy. Father suspects that Liu Yun's professional intelligence personnel and assassination organization have sneaked into the capital."
"It's possible!" Zihu nodded. "Although I haven't fought against Liuyun, the Battle of Cold City is unforgettable to me. He is an alien who cannot be deduced by common sense, so this vicious He can do it."

Jacques walked slowly to the window and opened it.

A gust of cold wind howled in, and the documents on the table were blown to pieces.

Zihu bent down, picked up the documents that fell on the ground, and pressed them back on the table.

"Every summer, the storms from the sea will take the lives of countless orcs." Jacques stood in front of the window, took a deep breath, and said to himself, "This summer, it's even more sad! The storms on land and sea How many innocent people and soldiers will be buried forever under the fighting?"

"In terms of strategy, wisdom, and scheming, we are even worse than humans, but the blood and loyalty possessed by orcs are not possessed by humans. I, Zihu, am willing to shed the last drop of blood for the orcs!" Zihu walked In front of the window, he stood shoulder to shoulder with Jacques.

"Boom boom boom!"

A knock on the door interrupted their contemplation.

A maid walked in lightly holding a wooden tray.

On the wooden tray, there are two steaming bowls.A strong smell of meat immediately filled the room.

"Zihu, let's have some supper! It's late at night, and I'm really hungry!" Yake took Zihu and walked towards the table.

"It's so fragrant, it should be porridge made from beef!" Zihu said happily after sniffing hard.

"Your nose is good! However, this is no ordinary beef porridge! It is said that the cook who cooks the porridge used to be the royal chef of the Asman Palace!" Jacques smiled triumphantly, "You should know, We will never be equal to humans in enjoying life!"

"Good stuff!" Zihu said, looking up at the maid, "I need a big pot to eat it!"

The maid smiled at him and nodded.

"Come on, you brat!" Jacques pulled him to the table and pressed him on the chair.

The maid put the bowl on the table and stepped aside.

Looking at the two guys eating happily at the table, an inexplicable smile appeared on her face.

"Is there... porridge... a problem?"

"Eat with confidence, the problem... is people!"

"If you eat a bad stomach, who is responsible?"

"Anti-virus, members of the royal family have unique skills!"

"What's the origin of this girl?"

"I don't know, I'll leave it to you anyway!"

"I knew I wouldn't eat your supper, what a trouble!"

The loud noise Zihu made while drinking the porridge completely covered up the whispers of the two.

"Comfortable!" Zihu raised his head, drank the porridge in the bowl in one gulp, and then said to the maid: "One more bowl!"

The maid obediently responded.

She was about to go forward when Jacques and Zihu raised their hands at the same time, and two empty bowls shot towards her.

At the same time, Jacques' figure flashed, and he had retreated to the window.

"Come on!" Zihu shouted loudly, his fighting spirit lit up, and he rushed towards the maid in the air.

Lin Shiting really couldn't figure out how her identity was exposed.But now she couldn't allow her to think about it carefully.

She turned sideways, and the two bowls hit the wall behind her heavily, turning into two puffs of smoke and exploding.

Zihu's iron fist has already hit the front.

At the critical moment, she suddenly knelt down on both knees, leaned forward, and slid under Zihu.Immediately afterwards, she flicked her feet, stood up from the ground, turned her palms into knives, and slashed at Zihu's vest.

Dozens of guards rushed in and surrounded Lin Shiting and Zihu in the arena.

Zihu missed the shot and turned around quickly.

Facing Lin Shiting's knife, he didn't dodge or dodge, and took a hard blow.

There was a loud bang, and the purple tiger stood proudly like a mountain, but Lin Shiting's body was trembling instead.

Zihu smiled proudly at her.

Lin Shiting also laughed.

With a light lift of her arm, a dagger gleaming with cold light appeared in her palm.

"Oh my god, are you here to see a show?" Seeing Lin Shiting rushing towards him again, Zihu couldn't help but yelled at the guards.

"They want to give you a chance to show!" Jacques laughed from the window.

Several guards stood in front of Zihu in a flash.

More than a dozen swords stabbed at Lin Shiting from different angles at the same time, sealing her escape route tightly.

Lin Shiting suddenly did something that no one expected.

"There are so many of you, I can't beat you, so stop fighting!"

A coquettish voice suddenly sounded in the room.

The dagger fell to the ground with a crisp clang.With a crisp sound, Lin Shiting tore off a thin layer of camouflage on her face, and let down her long hair coiled around her head.

The hair is like a cloud, and the beauty is like a dream.

Jacques and Zihu, the two young men who are vigorous and assertive, were immediately stunned.

Only the group of guards behaved relatively normally, putting the sword in their hands on her neck.

Of course, their movements were very careful, for fear of cutting the creamy white and tender skin.

"I didn't come here to fight! You guys hit me with a bowl first!" Lin Shiting said to Prince Jacques in front of the window with infinite grievances.She completely forgot that this was the headquarters of the Third Orc Legion, and she shouldn't be here at all.

Prince Jacques can be sure that this is the strangest assassin he has ever seen, and also the most beautiful assassin.Of course, it may also be the most failed, and the most rogue when it fails.

"Who are you?" After asking this sentence, he suddenly felt that he was an idiot, because there is no mission for an assassin to answer this question readily.Suddenly, he thought of a very serious problem.

"Be careful with her..." He pointed at Lin Shiting and shouted to the guards.

"Watch out for me committing suicide?" Lin Shiting interrupted him, "Miss Ben hasn't lived enough, she doesn't have that kind of thought!"

"That's good!" Jacques felt relieved.

But in the next bite, his heart reached his throat again.

Zihu and the guards also looked at him in horror.

Because next to the neck of His Royal Highness, a long sword appeared silently.

A stern face gradually emerged from the back of Jacques' head.

"Let her go!"

His tone was colder than his expression, with an unquestionable tone.

Everyone, including Prince Jacques himself, had the same feeling in their hearts - if he did not agree to his conditions, the sword in his hand would cut Jacques' throat without hesitation.

Zihu and the guards looked at Jacques anxiously, not knowing what to do.

And Lin Shiting seemed to be more anxious than them.

Before Jacques could speak, she shouted to the young man outside the window: "Monsoon, don't! Don't hurt him!"

"I promised him to protect you!" Ji Feng shook his head at her, and said to Jacques, "Let me go!"

"Why are you so brainless?" Lin Shiting stomped her feet anxiously.

"Let her go!" Zihu ordered the guards without waiting for Jacques to speak.

"Go!" Ji Feng said to Lin Shiting.

The long sword next to Jacques' neck disappeared silently, but he was not in a hurry to leave.He is also afraid of death, but he feels that since the man behind him has withdrawn his sword, he trusts him. He must ensure that the woman in front of him leaves safely before leaving.

This is the pride and dignity of the orc prince.

"My business is not finished, I will not leave!" Lin Shiting stood stubbornly in the field, motionless.

"Grandma, even if you want to keep your word, you don't have to take risks like this! I see you are completely pretending in front of her!" Zihu cursed inwardly.

His gaze could not help but drift towards Lin Shiting again.

"Of course, if it were me, I would pretend. It's worth it!" After a closer look, he came to such a conclusion.

Monsoon was immediately stunned outside the window.

The rain dripped continuously down his cheeks.

Jacques had never seen an assassin who failed in an assassination, and refused to leave after the reinforcements succeeded.Lin Shiting's strange attitude aroused his strong curiosity.

He turned around and smiled awkwardly at Ji Feng: "Look, I can't do anything. It's raining heavily outside, why don't you come in and sit down?"

Ji Feng ignored him and just stared at Lin Shiting.

After a while, he finally decided to give up.What can he do for a woman who even gives Liu Yun a headache?

"If she suffers even the slightest injury, I will definitely take your life!" Ji Feng glanced at him coldly, before disappearing into the rain in a blink of an eye.

Looking at the background of the young man going away, Jacques felt a chill on his back.He suddenly felt that it was not scary to face thousands of troops, what was scary was to face an assassin who was hidden in the dark and could take someone's life at any time.

He knew that this person was not threatening him, and he could definitely do it.

"Are you sure I won't make things difficult for you?" Jacques turned around, walked towards Lin Shiting with a smile.

"Of course I don't believe it!" Lin Shiting's answer almost made Prince Jacques, who was trying to maintain an elegant pace, almost fall.

"But I believe that after listening to my words, you won't embarrass me." Lin Shiting added.

"Who are you and why are you here?" Jacques asked, staring at her quietly.

Lin Shiting didn't speak, but looked up at the guards around her.

"Go back."

Lin Shiting's gaze landed on Zihu again.

"He and I are like brothers."

Lin Shiting said slowly, "I'm here to discuss something important with you."

"Do you have something to discuss with me?" Jacques wondered.

Lin Shiting shook her head: "It's not me. I represent Marquis Liuyun."

Zihu was shocked when he heard the words, and hurried towards Jacques.

Jacques raised his hand to signal him to stop, and then walked to the window alone.

After standing quietly for a while, he suddenly turned around and said to Lin Shiting: "It's late at night, Miss, you should rest first! I'm going back to the capital tomorrow, if you really want to talk to me, why don't you come with me?" Go back to the capital and discuss slowly?"

"Okay!" Lin Shiting readily agreed.

"Your Highness, why did you agree to her? The two countries are at war, and you will be charged with a lot of crimes if you contact his people, do you understand?" After Lin Shiting left with the maid, Zihu said angrily.

"Just memorize it! I must leave a retreat for the orcs!" Jacques sighed.
