Chapter 199

"Come on, Lucius." Giovanni returned to the ground and walked out of the Duke's Palace. He raised his head and took a breath of fresh air.

"This time, I will find a good cemetery for you."

Chapter 117: Let me go with you

"Attention, our mission this time is to test out the details of the enemy's strange unit." As night fell, while most of the soldiers were resting and preparing for the next day's battle, a small group of troops quietly came under the control of the coalition forces. The north gate entered the city of Romulus.

The leader was Lite, her adjutant was Virgil and Martin, who had previously defected to Lite in Florence. The three of them led a carefully selected 500 elite soldiers to attack the city of Romulus at night.

Just as Leeteuk, Virgil, and Martin had just ordered, this army was not directly raiding the city for a beheading operation, but was preparing to find out about the enemy's secret army.

In the position that was recaptured during the day, ordinary Napoli soldiers were already stationed here. Li Te saw those people from a long distance. Seeing that they were ordinary soldiers, she quickly asked her soldiers to stop and led her With a few agile soldiers, he sneaked over from the side and eliminated the enemy's garrisoned soldiers.

Later, the large force went directly along this street and penetrated deep into the enemy camp.

Finally, deep in the camp, Lee Teuk saw the same army that the messenger had described during the day.

What surprised her was that even at night, they still clung to their bodies, as if they were afraid of being seen inside.

The more Leeteuk looked, the more he felt something was wrong. He ordered Martin to lead his troops to observe the surrounding situation, while he and Virgil secretly stepped forward.

In an alleyway, Virgil and Lite separated. The latter stayed where he was, while the former rushed out of the alleyway and onto the street.

This move naturally attracted the enemy's attention.

However, what surprised Vergil was that the enemy's perception seemed to be really poor. Vergil ran across the street in front of them without attracting the opponent's attention.

In desperation, Virgil could only pick up a stone and threw it in front of a plate armor soldier.

This really attracted the other party's attention. The other party first looked up, and after confirming that there was nothing abnormal around him, he stepped forward and looked at the things on the ground.

Seeing this, Virgil threw another stone on the ground in front of him. This time he deliberately used a flaw to make the other party notice the shadow in the alley. The other party then trotted forward and chased Virgil in the alley. .

Not long after the opponent turned into the alley, Lite followed him and knocked him to the ground.

"Put down your resistance and tell me your identities!" Leeteuk threatened the other party, but who knew that the other party did not listen to Leeteuk at all, said nothing, and tried to stand up with difficulty.

Leeteuk suppressed the opponent's shoulders tightly, but the opponent was willing to give up an arm to stand up.

There was still no sound during the process, except for the metallic sound of the moving objects scraping together.

Li Te was startled by the opponent's bravery. At this time, Virgil directly pulled out his sword and pierced the connection between the opponent's helmet and breastplate, and lifted the entire helmet directly.

Then, the other party's face was revealed, making both of them stunned.

With his thin cheeks, fierce eyes and distorted facial features, the other person didn't look like a human being at all, but rather like a living dead.

After the helmet was taken off, the expression on the face of the "living dead" became more painful. He even let out bursts of roars, but the only thing that came out of his throat was the hoarse sound of breathing after the vocal cords ruptured. If it weren't for the barrier of the helmet, the two of them wouldn't be able to notice him and wouldn't be able to speak at all.

It seemed that it wasn't that they didn't say a word at all, but that even if they were injured and wanted to scream, they couldn't scream at all.

What's more, it seems that after one of the opponent's arms was removed, he seemed to have no pain at all, which would not affect his next actions.

Virgil was the first to react. He directly protected Li Te and then kicked the mysterious soldier to the ground.

The strength shown by the opponent when struggling just now should be at the fifth to sixth level, but Virgil's strength has now reached the seventh level, and it is naturally easy to deal with this kind of thing.

However, when I think of the other party's description, the enemy's army of the living dead seems to number in the thousands.

There are thousands of fifth-level to sixth-level soldiers, and they are all brave and fearless of death. This kind of fighting power is more powerful than any elite troops in the empire.

Even if the Royal Knights or the Paladins of the Holy See come over, the ordinary soldiers of these two armies will not be able to get any advantage in front of this army.

Virgil was about to end the opponent's life with his sword, but was stopped by Lee Teuk.

She shook her head, and then said: "We have to take him back, whether it is as evidence to increase Giovanni's guilt, or to develop a way to fight against this monster."

"That's right, I was rude." Upon hearing this, Virgil took back his sword, then put the helmet back on the man, and then escorted him, preparing to take him back by force.

…

"Legion of the Living Dead?!" Saint Laurent City, military aircraft conference.

"Well, so General Scaloni is currently requesting assistance. If the reinforcements do not arrive, the other party can use this legion to counterattack, which may even cause greater harm." The general who returned from the front said this.

"Send the Royal Knights over there. Alsace, you can transfer some more people from the army, as well as Elsa, and as many magicians as possible."

After Odysseus gave an order to each of his children, he looked at Pope Levi sitting next to him.

"Your Holiness, at this time, the holy knights of the Holy See must also attack, right?"

"Well, it is the duty of the Holy See to deal with such evil spirits." Levi nodded and then

Then he looked at Odysseus.

"But, Your Majesty, have you thought about the person who will lead the troops this time?"

"..." Upon hearing this, Odysseus thought for a moment, and then asked: "Aren't General Scaloni and Duke Lucius not capable enough?"

"Of course I am not questioning their ability. They are all famous generals of the empire. However, in this situation, we need a more capable person to replace them in order to solve the frontline problems more securely, right?" the Pope said. , glanced at Elsa with a subtle look.

Seeing this, Elsa also knew what Levi meant.

"Father, I do have a recommended candidate. If he takes action, he can definitely ensure that the front line is worry-free."

"What do you mean, Orson?" Odysseus asked.

"Yeah." Elsa nodded. "He has a history of defeating orcs. Even if he leads a large army to fight, there will be no problem."

Arthas on the side couldn't sit still when he heard the name Orson.

The reason why he sent Scaloni to the front line this time was to use this military exploit to surpass Orson's previous military exploits in quelling the orcs.

But if he allowed Orson to lead the army again, wouldn't he let Scaloni go in vain?

In the face of national justice and personal selfishness, Alsace must make a choice.

"Father." Arthas finally spoke.

"Well, what do you want to say?"

"Let me... go with you."

Chapter 118: Trust me again

"Solve the battle within a month, so that I can come back and catch up on the collective experience after the midterm." Orson sat in the student union office, looked at Elsa who walked in, and gave his estimated end time of the battle.

"Is one month... really enough time? Isn't it a bit too hasty?"

Compared to Orson, who was calm and confident, Elsa was a little worried.

Before deciding on the head coach, it was natural to ask Orson for his opinion.

Orson had no dissatisfaction with the support given to him by the royal family, and when asked about the expected time to end the battle, Orson only needed a month.

"Oson, please think about it again. Although the college's assessment is very important, if this happens, the college will not embarrass you too much if it is delayed."

One month is still a bit too crazy in Elsa's mind. Even if Orson leads the army directly south, it will take ten days and a half to get to the front line. With half a month, he can use Giovanni as his trump card. The mysterious army was directly defeated?

Doesn't this prove that Scaloni, who was beaten a bit by this army, is a waste?

Moreover, once Orson told the royal family to win within a month, but failed to achieve his goal, his reputation would also be reduced, which would not be conducive to subsequent actions to compete for the Duke of Naples.

"Your Highness Elsa, I know you may be worried that I will have a bad start, but please rest assured. I said I can win within a month because I am confident of winning."

"In this case, I won't interfere with your ideas." Elsa knew that her military insights were not as good as Orson's, so she didn't need to use her three-legged cat skills to hinder real professionals.

She recorded Orson's request and left to report it to Odysseus.

"Well, my fiancé is really a busy man." Olivia sat next to Orson, resting her face on her hands, and sighed quietly after Elsa left.

Turning her head, her burgundy eyes stared at Orson, her eyes full of resentment that Orson was leaving her again.

"You've been busy dealing with student union matters since you came back. I'm also planning to find a time for us to go out on a date after finishing today."

She pouted, expressing her dissatisfaction in her tone.

"Olivia...I'm sorry, I..."

"Of course I know. This is for the sake of the empire. You have to do this. Of course I understand." Olivia quickly followed Orson's words.

"But, there's nothing I can do about it. I can be a little selfish occasionally. I won't be happy if I see my future husband being treated like a brick, to be moved wherever needed."

"..." Upon hearing this, Orson sat further to the side and got closer to Olivia.

Olivia was about to continue saying some jealous words. At this moment, she suddenly felt her left shoulder being held by Orson, and then she fell into Orson's arms.

She blushed instantly.

"You're like this again..."

Regarding Orson’s intimate behavior,

Olivia's resistance is 0.

"I can't help it. This should be the last time, right? Anyway, when we come back this time, we will regard the experience of going to the Alps as a date trip. How about it?" Orson hugged Olivia and discussed what to do after returning from the war. planning.

"Then I don't want you to say that."

"Why?"

"If you delay your flight on the front line because you are thinking about me, then you will be even later back."

"So, from tomorrow until you come back, you are not allowed to think about these things."

"Okay, it's all up to you." When Orson heard this, he laughed dumbly.

It seems that Olivia still supports him.

"But tomorrow I'm going to take someone you know with me."

"who?"

"Lena."

…

The next day, on the carriage heading to the military camp outside the city.

Alsace felt ashamed as he looked at Lena, who was sitting next to Orson and curiously looking around at the details in the carriage.

Although he had heard that Lena was very powerful before, so the Imperial Academy was willing to change the rules to allow her to enroll, but when they first met, the contrast between Lena's impression on him and the previous rumors was too great.

In Alsace's expectation, Lena should not be said to be ferocious, but at least heroic. However, in reality, Lena gives people the feeling of a little girl next door, and her knowledge is still very low, and she has little understanding of the surroundings. All new things are curious.

The carriage he was used to riding in was like a little book in Lena's eyes, and she wanted to read it dozens of times.

He really couldn't imagine that such an immature person, no matter how powerful he was, could he really show it on the battlefield? Orson brought her here for sightseeing?

It wasn't until the military camp outside the city that Orson temporarily placed Lena in the military tent and went out to inspect the army with Alsace, that Alsace couldn't help but ask questions.

"Mr. Orson, the one next to you is Miss Lena, right? I have heard of her name, but today it seems that she is not as good as the rumors."

"Ah, of course I know that people should not be judged by their appearance, but is it too much to take such a child to the battlefield?"

Seeing the straight-tempered Alsace expressing his concerns to him, Orson also revealed his own reasons.

"Your Highness, there is no need to worry. This child Lena seems unreliable, but if I can bring her here, she will definitely be useful. She is very strong, and with the right guidance, she will be of great help to the empire. This The first time I brought her out, my purpose was to guide her. "

"...Okay." Arthas nodded after hearing this.

"Your Highness, why did you come with us? Are you worried about the front line?"

Hearing Orson ask this, Arthas shook his head.

"Master Osun, of course I believe in your ability, but I also want to play a role in this matter."

"When I was framed before, my reputation among the nobles plummeted. I hope that by taking the lead this time, the nobles will trust me again, and at the same time, I will make those who framed me and betrayed me pay the price."

Alsace said this, looking towards the south with stern eyes.

The person he mentioned who framed him and betrayed him was naturally Giovanni.

Now that it has been found that the murderer is closely related to the Duchy of Naples, there is a high probability that Giovanni hired the murderer to kill him and then put the blame on himself, with the intention of causing civil war in the empire.

This conclusion also makes sense logically.

He was put in a relationship before because he didn't know Giovanni's secret actions and was close to Giovanni. Then something like this happened again. As one of the people who suffered the most, he would definitely not let it go. Giovanni's.

At the same time, this time with the army, he can also serve as Orson's adjutant and get the second command.

When the time comes to divide the battle merits, he will also have room to operate.
