Chapter 1071: A Missed Opportunity

The people in the war room have left, and only Monica, Shadow, and Hoinheim are left in the room.

Seeing Hoinheim's chagrin, Shadow also wanted to leave, but was stopped by him.

"Tell me more about the decapitation. ”

Ei thought for a moment, "Okay. He sat down in his chair and said, "Actually, I really almost killed Zalberg tonight." When we took the Yinhuang army over, the guards in their camp were not only inaccurate, but also underestimated the strength of the 10,000 Yinhuang army, and not long after the battle, the enemy army was already in chaos. I chased and intercepted Zalberg several times with the two generals Van and Wolf Fang, but they were stopped by the guards around him and the Black Feather Battalion, and by Zuihou, Wolf Fang and I had already cornered Zalborg but still came out with a group of very powerful people to rescue him. ”

Hoinheim said hatefully: "If I had known, I would have sent two more people with you." ”

Monica said: "General Cheman, you don't have to blame yourself too much, the decapitation battle will fail and it has nothing to do with you. We don't have many defenders in the first place, and in the battle tonight, the army has been damaged to such an extent, and if there are two less people like Vane and Wolf Tooth who can fight, the royal capital will be in danger. Once the garrison of the royal capital is not enough, and Zalberg cannot take it, the king and we will be completely finished. ”

"yes, you can't take this risk. Hoinheim could only lament helplessly.

Monica stood up and said, "Now the fighting has stopped. Cheman, your injuries are not light, take advantage of the current hospital to recuperate and have a good rest, you haven't slept much in the past few days, I'll go to the hospital to see my son. Do you want to go together?"

"You go first, I'll read Vane's casualty report before I go. ”

"Then I'm leaving. ”

Shadow looked at the two of them and left. As he walked along the road, he thought back to the previous decapitation battle. In the war room just now, he didn't say that he had every chance to kill Zalberg, but he didn't make a move. At that time, he rode the Emperor Dragon, and a single bite of dragon fire could burn Zalberg to death on the spot, even if the bloodthirsty demon could block Zafino's dragon wrath, it would be difficult to protect Zalberg from being affected.

"Did he save me, did he save me?" Shadow was not a kind-hearted person, but Zalberg's words did make him wonder for a moment. He thought to himself, "If he hadn't killed me before." I can understand that, but how could he save me? He couldn't have saved me. Brother Rehogg has been chasing me for so long, his identity is clear, he didn't turn against me and kill me, he should be trying to use my ability, but he will never save me because of this, it doesn't make sense. The last few times I've been in danger, once I almost died at the hands of Rehogg's brother, and once when I was seriously injured and almost killed by a hired killer. And then there's the Tomb of the Heroes...... Could it be that time?" Shadow shuddered in his heart, but his brow furrowed deeply.

Thinking about it, he had arrived at the door of the hospital, and Shadow shook his head: "No, there is no reason for this. It's illogical. I wonder if he deliberately stalled for time, waiting for someone to save him. Scold. Damn bastard, I fell for him. I missed this good opportunity, I should not have listened to anything at that time, and directly let Zafino spray him to death with a dragon flame. Hey, forget it, don't think about it, it's regretful when you think about it. ”

In the southwest of the city, in the camp of a certain army, Zalberg still looked frightened, thinking about the moment of life and death just now, he had never felt so close to death.

In the camp, only Ignadis, Apollo and a few others were there, and the officers were still busy after the war.

Ignadis said to Apollo: "Lord, we have been ordered by the throne to come and help, if there is anything you need to help, please just say." ”

Apollo said to Zalberg, "Would you like to call the medical staff to come and take a look at you?"

Ignadis said: "I checked him on the way here and he was not harmed. ”

Zalberg, who had been in a daze, suddenly shouted angrily: "I should have killed him in the first place, Celeste Ice Child!!"

Apollo said: "I didn't kill him that time, and now that he has obtained the liliang of Dragon Zero, it is not so easy to kill him again." ”

At this time, someone outside the tent shouted: "Report." ”

"Come in!" said Zarburg's tone was not as calm as usual from tonight's encounter.

An officer walked in with a soldier.

"What's the matter?"

The officer said, "Prince, when we were searching the destroyed base camp just now, we found the body of your butler outside the camp, this is his head, and he has been dismembered. ”

The soldier handed the box with the human head to the officer, who in turn handed it to the bloodthirsty demon.

"What? Ganata......"

The Bloodthirsty Demon opened the box, glanced at it, and nodded, "It's Ganna." ”

The officer added: "There was a surviving soldier at the scene, and he said that they were fleeing from the camp with the women of the Prisoner's Gate with your butler, and suddenly they were intercepted by a white-haired boy riding a dragon, and the hostages of the Prisoner's Gate were taken by him, and the rest were also killed by his dragon. ”

"It's Ice Childish Evil again!" Zalberg punched the wooden box next to him, he took the box from the bloodthirsty demon's hand, looked at the human head in the box, and couldn't bear to close his eyes: "Alas! Ganna has been with me for decades, he is the most familiar with me, the right and left hand who knows me best, he only became a grandfather last month, and said that when the matter here is over, he will go to see his grandson, but he didn't expect that his grandson died here before he saw it." I hurt him. Zalborg was so grieved that tears flowed.

Everyone was silent, a housekeeper who had been with him for decades and the most intimate died suddenly, who would not be sad.

Ignatis glanced at the people around him and walked out of the tent.

Zalberg slowly closed the box, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "His corpse, I will personally bury it in the royal capital." Lieutenant Colonel, what happened to those officials and ministers who were following me?"

The officer said: "There are many lost officials and ministers who have not yet been found, and we are stepping up our efforts to find them, but we have also found the bodies of some adults." ”

"Let's go, take me around. ”

In an open space in the barracks, all the officials were placed here, and they looked very embarrassed, some were crying, and some were palpitating.

Zalberg led the men to the outskirts of the camp and frowned at the sight of the situation.

Someone next to him laughed: "Hmph, these officials and ministers are usually better at talking than anyone else, and they will only cry when they encounter a little thing." ”

When the officials saw Zalborg coming, they stood up.

"Prince. Panotta squeezed out of the crowd and followed Trosa.

Zalberg was overjoyed: "It's okay if you two are fine, I heard that a lot of people have died, so I'm afraid that something will happen to you." ”

Panotta said happily, "Prince Xiexie cares. ”

Zalberg asked, "What's going on?"

Panotta said: "These officials have not suffered much, and when they encounter a little thing, they will be messed up, I have already appeased them just now, and when they are finished venting, they will be fine when they calm down." ”

"You're still the most powerful, I'm here to find you. Let's go, come with me to discuss things. Zalberg took them and left.

Arriving at a large house with a map and a sand table, Zalberg said to the guards in the room: "Go, call Raul and Bernstein and Disman." ”

"Yes. ”

A few minutes later, Raul and the three came in one after another.

Zalberg said directly: "Bernstein, let's talk about today's battle situation first. ”...,

Bernstein said: "Let me briefly say that tonight's attack, our attack on the southern city has achieved certain results, although in the end we failed to penetrate, but their southern city defense has appeared holes, I have observed that the problem appeared in their senior officers and commanders. The large-scale attack over the past three days has wounded many of their officers at the rank of colonel, and our rotational battles have made it impossible for their officers to catch up. But today I also saw some new faces in their army, not wearing armor with the imprint of the Empire, probably either civilians or mercenaries. As for the army casualties, they are still being counted, and it is estimated that the casualties are very large. ”

"There will be casualties in the attack on the royal capital, it is certain. Zalborg said, "What about you, Raul?"

Raul said: "I have already counted the situation on this side of the barracks, and my army and the flank troops guarding the base camp have killed more than 14,000 people. ”

Bernstein and Destein's faces changed: "There are so many dead and wounded, and it was less than an hour before and after their attack." ”

Raul sighed: "This is my mistake, I didn't expect the king's capital to be attacked so tightly, and they dared to send heavy troops out of the city to attack our base camp, completely unprepared. And I didn't expect their army to be so powerful, and our nearly 60,000 men were not able to stop their 10,000 attack. As he spoke, he went out and asked the soldiers to come in with two pairs of armor and swords, "Look, Prince, this is the weapon and equipment I took from the Yinhuang soldiers who died in battle, under this kind of sword, the armor of our soldiers is like a piece of paper, and our sword cannot hurt them. ”

He picked up the white nuclear crystal steel saber and slashed at the ordinary armor, which was immediately split into a long gap. Then he pulled out his matching sword and slashed at the black nuclear crystal steel armor, and with a bang, the nuclear crystal steel armor was not damaged.

Bernstein was surprised: "This ...... That's too sturdy, isn't it? Disman. ”

"I've seen Garvas wear this kind of equipment, but I haven't tried it myself, but I heard that it's very good, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful," Deesman said. ”

"Speaking of which, I underestimated the damage caused by these equipment. Let's not talk about that, I asked you to come to discuss tomorrow's battle. Bloodthirsty Demon. ”

...... (To be continued......)
