Chapter 90: The Strategist in the Dark
Li En looked at the night calmly, and his two beards, which had been trimmed to an extremely delicate degree, trembled, seemed to have an innate aristocratic temperament.
"First time we met, please advise, Mr. Wanted!"
The riding boots kicked off, and the war horse sprinted.
Cangye knew that it was difficult to survive, so he indifferently pulled out his scales and greeted him.
Things have come to this point where only the most dangerous option remains.
……
Half an hour later, Li En rode a war horse out of the canyon leisurely.
The six swords hanging from the horses were missing the one-handed stabbing and scimitar, and there was one more thing.
A masked head.
If you take off the mask, you will see a fair-skinned but hideous and ugly face.
It was supposed to be a handsome face, as long as there were no criss-crossing sword wounds.
Several blood soul knights rushed towards him, and without waiting for Li En to speak, one of the knights led by him dismounted and came to Li En, his tone was slightly hoarse, but his attitude was extremely respectful:
"Your Excellency, have you solved it?"
Li En coughed, and suddenly spewed out several blood flowers.
The knights' expressions were surprised, and the knights led by them spoke out anxiously:
"Your ......, my lord"
"It's okay, it's just a little injury."
Without waiting for the other party to speak, Li En waved his hand to stop what the other party was about to say next.
The knight on the side immediately handed over two bottles of life recovery potion, and Li En took it with a rather natural expression, opened the lid and drank it all.
After the injury was healed, the swordsman immediately led the army back.
On the way, I listened to Jeva, the Blood Soul Knight who was the leader, say:
The sixty Blood Soul Knights, three hundred Suffering Clerics, and Torture Priests he had sent earlier had arrived at the gates of Rover City and joined the two armies of believers.
Most of the main forces of Crimson Dawn are gathered here, and the goal is to capture Rover City.
Its purpose is to support the cult 'Judgment Day' that attacked Blackfire City.
Blackfire City is less than 30 miles away from Rover City, as long as the 'Crimson Dawn' defeats Rover City, it can completely cut off the back road of Blackfire City's army, and completely capture Blackfire City with two flanking attacks.
By capturing these two cities, the combined forces of the two sects will allow them to further oppress the empty Hearthstone Fortress.
The 60,000-strong expeditionary force that had fought the ogres had returned.
But there are only a few hundred of them, and they are the remnants of the terrified soldiers.
Who knew that the backer behind the ogre tribe turned out to be the dragon slayer Gogon, who was plotting to become a god!
This is an ogre demigod whose force is comparable to the combination of two mythical professionals!
Without the rescue of the top forces of the Sin God Domain, even 60,000 people would not be able to shake this terrifying ogre demigod.
And that's exactly what happened.
Except for the Dark Blue Speaker who fled through the remote portal with the Dragon Vein Warlock and a few cronies, the rest of the soldiers were almost wiped out!
The Iron Prince was crushed in the head by the ogre demigod in one turn, and Alphonse led his army to attack several times with heavy losses, and then hurriedly led hundreds of men to break out.
The rest were buried in the wilderness by the furious demigod.
The ogre demigod Gorgon is allied with the god of abuse, the cruel maiden, so Jeva makes no secret of his gloating.
Li En was silent the whole time and did not express any opinions.
Next, Jeva told the lord bad news:
"My lord, the High Priest is very dissatisfied with your arrogance, and strongly accuses you of blatant contempt for the majesty of God......
The whole paragraph is full of bad news for the swordsman.
The High Priest is the leader of the Red Dawn, the cruel Maiden's agent in Prometheus, and a legendary professional in his own right.
And although he is also one of the high-ranking members of the church, he is inferior to the high priest in terms of strength and status.
What's even worse is that the high priest has been looking at the swordsman very comfortably.
The Cruel Maiden is a cruel and cold-blooded god, and so is the secular sect that follows him.
The overturning between the upper echelons is far more naked and bloody than within the Church of the Gods.
Java was Lee's most trusted subordinate and his cousin, so he gritted his teeth when he talked about the High Priest, and at the same time expressed concern about the future fate of his lord.
As he spoke, Cangye took out a stack of letters from his dimensional pouch.
The dimensional bag is an upgraded version of the small space bag, the internal space stability is far greater than the small space bag, and the storage space is ten times that of the small space bag.
This letter was sent by a giant eagle who could use the lingua franca, and on it was written a series of words that could be called beautiful and universal:
Dear Sir!
I wonder what you think of the God who allows you to surrender your faith?
The oracle is important, but man is always selfish, and I believe that God will allow a little selfishness on the part of believers.
The prey you're hunting has the blood of a true dragon in its veins.
Yes!
I believe you should understand the value of a Dragonborn.
Through some special channels, the contemptible people know that there is a way for people to obtain the bloodline of a true dragon out of thin air, just like a dragon vein warlock.
Here, I wish you a successful start, sir!
At the end of the letter is engraved a golden roulette wheel-like motif, which has both a sacred and a pompous atmosphere.
The words of this letter were full of extraordinary bewitchment and temptation, and it was suspected that magic methods were used, but in any case, the swordsman at that time was indeed tempted.
Since then, the Eagle has sent several letters, all of which are strategic and tactical command methods.
That is, relying on these strategies and tactics to successfully hunt targets.
The head was given to his men to be salted in lime and sent to Judgment Day, while the body was preserved for the mysterious forbidden method.
The purpose of the Layout's hidden in the dark was not revealed.
But in the last letter, the arranger made it clear:
After the deed is completed, you will meet with the master of swordsmanship to pay the corresponding price.
A strategist hiding in the shadows is by no means a man with a pure and kind heart.
On the contrary, the man who can play with intrigues, whatever his purpose, has long since become filthy in his heart!
Although Lee Eun was a high-ranking member of the church, he was more afraid of the cruel and temperamental goddess he served than he was pious.
To put it simply, it's every loyalty to speak of.
The strategist's seductive words, like a kraken's ballad, happened to shake the turmoil in Lee's heart.
After thinking about it briefly, Li En suddenly sneered.
The strategists hiding in the shadows seem to want to continue to use themselves.
After the oracle was issued by the church, he was still obsessed with hunting down a wanted criminal who had nothing to do with Crimson Dawn, which was already a violation of the oracle and an affront to the majesty of God.
With the high priest's dissatisfaction with himself, he was afraid that he would have to level his castle after taking Rover City.
The Strategist is likely to have a long-term cooperation in the future, so he will definitely come to the door himself and continue to use him, and the church will solve it for himself.
But as a price, I am afraid that I will not become a puppet at his mercy.
Thinking about the reason, Li En relaxed.
Say to Jeva:
"Don't worry, go back to the castle first."
"This ...... Be! ”
Hearing the lord's order, Jewa just wanted to stop him, but after thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth and took the order.
My lord, this act is tantamount to betraying the Church!
……
On the top of an unknown hill, a Taoist figure rode on a white horse, looking into the distance.
Soon after, a loud eagle's cry could be heard in the distance.
The figure was all over his body for a while, then sighed slowly, and casually took out a pure white chess piece from the bag on the side.
Holding the chess piece in his hand and rubbing it for a while, this person's tone revealed regret:
"It's game over."
This tone is like that of a child who is tired of playing with the toys in his hand and is about to throw them away the next moment.
Talking to himself, the man threw the pieces into another pile of white pieces and rode away.
