Another unknown siege
"Then, goodbye. Bread, gone."
After all, the idiot turned his head, greeted the bread, and was about to leave.
but……
"Baba silly beep"
Idiots don't like to persuade people bitterly, this doesn't mean that Bianbao can't. The justice and sympathy of this little girl are overflowing, and now she has embraced the spirit of swearing to give up without reaching her goal.
"You have to leave because within these two or three days, there is an 80% chance that Rome will be breached, and you will definitely be killed."
The nun who read these words did not understand. She frowned, wondering what the little girl wanted to say. Even Zelens, who was hiding behind the goddess statue, was now puzzled by the words on the sign, and the Hidden Blade on the sleeve couldn't help but returned.
"Miss Bread, these words of yours... Please forgive me, I don't understand. Why do you think that? And, Mr. Idiot, is that what you mean?"
The idiot nodded. In order to give a brief explanation of the little girl's actions, the idiot spoke again and said, "If it weren't for this girl, worry about you and these children. I would never come to inform you."
"Yes, you will be in danger. You will definitely be in danger because the attacker is the Dara Gudsey, and this is Rome, plus today General Saiza was stabbed, so if you stay here Here, once the city is broken, you will definitely be in danger"
"Then... are you worried that the Duke of Goodsey will slaughter the city after the city is broken? I don’t think there is any need to worry about that. The Duke of Goodsey has exercised benevolent governance all the way and has done nothing against the city he occupied. I I think you don’t have to worry about this at all. If you are worried that we will be involved in the war, please don’t worry. There is a basement under the monastery. Once the war starts, we will hide in the basement without any problems."
"woo woo woo woo------"
Little Bread stomped her feet anxiously. How much she hopes she can directly tell all the questions and all the analysis to this nun who is still hiding. But if the nun doesn’t admit it, then it’s useless if she writes more. In anxiety, the little girl pulled up the sign again and wanted to write. But at this time, the idiot grabbed the little girl and pulled her to the door.
"The martial law outside is getting stricter. Bread, we can't go back if we don't leave."
The face was filled with tears, looking at the idiot. Finally, after repeated weighing, he nodded.
The idiot opened the door of the church and looked at the lighted night outside. Before leaving, he suddenly turned around and looked at the goddess statue. After a moment of silence, he finally said--
"If you don't want to die, take your children and leave. What is the most important thing for you, hope, you think clearly."
After all, the idiot immediately rushed out of the church holding the bread and disappeared into the night...
After a while, the door of the church was closed by the nun.
At the moment the door closed, Zelens, who was behind the goddess statue, finally let out a breath and walked out again.
He smiled indifferently, sitting on the chair next to him, soothing his legs after running for a day.
"Ozawa, what do you think of him."
Sister Mystra spoke up.
Zelens frowned, shook his head, and smiled: "Is it a threat? Although he suspects it is me, he wants to force me to confess because there is no evidence, right?"
The nun looked at the slight sword wound on Zelens, and said again: "Is he... very strong?"
"Well... if you say it is strong, it is really strong. However, his willpower surprised me more than it is strong."
Zelens smiled and said--
"That guy followed me for an afternoon and almost ran the entire city of Rome. Sister, do you think you can follow me around the city? What kind of willpower is that?"
"But he doesn't look like a soldier."
"That's also true. The average soldier doesn't have that kind of skill. My brothers and I thought he had driven him to death, but he still survived. If it weren't for his lack of experience in chasing wars and lack of understanding of the terrain. If that happens, I really can’t guarantee that I can escape from his pursuit. Phew~~~Think about it carefully, it’s really scary to play a tracking war with him.”
The nun nodded and said, "If this is the case, I hope you can be careful. At least, I believe that he said that Rome is about to be broken, there should be nothing wrong. General Saiza was injured, and the city of Rome has no leader. I am afraid... "
Zelens looked at the statue of the goddess in front of him. After a moment of silence, he finally sighed and said, "Yes, I know. Rome is dangerous. During this time, I will hide until the wind has passed. I will reappear. As for My brothers, I will also send a letter to them, let them continue to meet people in their usual face, do not take over any actions, and do not make any suspicious actions."
"Well, that's good."
The nun's mouth overflowed with a smile again. As an unqualified priest, her only hope was to protect these children.
Although Zelens and his brothers have grown up now and have left the church. But for this nun, they are still children...
The next day, April 24, the sun rose again for a new day.
"attack------"
After receiving the news, the buck army finally launched a grand onslaught under the command of Duke Dara Goodsey, the commander-in-chief. The buck soldiers beat the drums to the sky, and the soldiers held their shields. Hustle and bustle outside the city. Suddenly the screams rang across the sky, even this strong Roman city seemed to be shaken by it
What makes the idiot feel sorry is that since last night, the entire city of Rome has been under martial law, and the gates are locked so that he cannot escape. Now, he can only sit silently in the general's mansion, together with walnuts, bread, and deviance, waiting in front of the hospital bed of General Saiza who has not yet passed the dangerous period.
Outside, the shouting and killing sounded loudly.
The sound of the huge rocks thrown by the catapult hitting the wall is now one after another.
The huge sound interlaced back and forth, shaking the ears of everyone in the city. For the final decisive battle issued by the Bucks, everyone is immersed in their heads, waiting for his results...
In the morning, until noon.
Noon, to afternoon.
The call to kill did not weaken, but it did not approach.
So, are those generals defending the city?
but……
wrong.
In the drum sound coming from the air, the sound of beating the drum was not weakened at all. In other words, as the offensive, the Bucks are still constantly on the offensive?
But, is this wrong?
How many soldiers did the Bucks kill or wound if they were unable to conquer the city after a whole day of fierce attacks? And can the forces that Dai Lao brings this time can support this endless attack?
Feint?
Thinking of this, the idiot's fists were immediately squeezed.
If this is the case, then the real purpose of this feint is likely to be...
Idiot, exhale.
It was also when he exhaled, beside the city wall that was not too far away, a general defending the city was suddenly covered with a hand. The next moment, his chest protruded. Hidden sword, penetrated his heart...
"Baba, this time, will those generals really be wiped out? 》
"Ah, yes. They will all die, not one will stay."
"So poor... Bread doesn't want to see someone die..."
"But their shortcomings are destined for them to die."
"Woo..."
"General Saiza is indeed an amazing general. He strategizes and uses all his generals as if he is calling his fingers. Moreover, the use is so perfect. For him, there is no difference between these generals. They There is no hierarchical concept in his position, only the concept of uniting and fighting under the command of General Saiza."
"Baba, General Sai Sa's advantages are also disadvantages. 》
"Yes. This method of command was indeed perfect when he was there. But once General Saiza, who is the leader, retreats, there is no affiliation with each other, and they are all people of the same position. It will immediately become a dish of loose sand."
"Woo...General Saiza..."
"For them, the idea in their hearts is probably only cooperation. This is a good idea, but in wartime, what is most needed is far from mutual cooperation, but a commander."
"No one can stand up to replace the position of General Saiza. These people will also become separate fights on the battlefield, or blindly seek cooperation to make up for the other party's mistakes. But in this way, they will change their own The mistakes magnified, making them seem to be cooperating with each other, but they are actually pulling each other back, and finally, the formation completely collapsed."
"That Dai Lao's present feint should be the reason, right? Baba. 》
"Ah. Dai Lao is not a fool. He should have been very familiar with the conduct of this General Saiza who has fought with him for so many days. Although he is arrogant, he is not a fool. After mastering the information, He knows how to use intelligence effectively. Moreover, what I worry about is not just that the generals are exhausted from defending each other because of the endless feints of Dai Lao. What I worry about is..."
"Assassination? 》
"That's right. Assassination. For an enemy army that has been in chaos, sending an assassin group to carry out a large-scale assassination can be said to be as simple as grabbing glass beads in a plate. I believe now... there should be someone already. , Become the soul of that person's sword..."
Bun didn't write anymore, she looked at the idiot. But the idiot closed his eyes full at this moment, letting his thoughts fall into contemplation...
As the idiot said, the current Dai Lao is indeed launching a feint.
For a whole day, under the command of Dai Lao, the army of stags was like a fish in the water, circling the defenders of this Roman city to the north.
At first glance, the Roman defenders seemed to have repelled the Bucks' attacks time and time again. But the bows and arrows and guiding stones used by them in repelling the attack have entered a state of extreme consumption. In contrast, there were not as many corpses left on the battlefield after repelling enemy soldiers, sometimes even a few, and there was no corpse of a stag fighter on the ground.
The soldiers guarding the city wall were exhausted, running back and forth on the various strategic strongholds. At the end of the day, they became exhausted and relaxed. Although gritted his teeth and worked hard to support, due to the orders of the generals, he had to stop the enemy's "siege" at various strongholds.
However, if it's just that, it's not bad. The really bad situation has already spread in this war.
"Ah Captain Zarys? What's the matter? What... When was it killed?"
"Captain Jon, where is Captain Jon?"
"Captain Leon? Ah Captain Leon"
The corpses began to appear one by one on the wall and in the street. Individuals with slightly named names were assassinated one after another. And all of them were fatal in one blow without defense. Originally, the Roman garrison had been without a leader, and now it has caused such a large-scale loss of the leader, and the chaos is evident.
The sky gradually darkened.
The entire Bucks Army's attack finally stopped.
At first glance, the Roman defenders once again protected their city, didn't they?
but……
The whole day of running around makes them tired and their muscles sore. Coupled with the inexplicable assassination of many generals, the morale that had been soaring before yesterday, at this moment, it fell to the bottom.
In the general's residence, the idiot opened his eyes and looked at the operating room in front of the door.
It stands to reason that after a day’s battle, the generals who defended the city should come to visit their leader, right?
But now...
In the corridor, quietly...
There was no sound, no movement.
The light on the wall was shining brightly, but it didn't seem to shine through the deep darkness, and the nightmare at the end could not be seen...
call………………
Suck………………
Idiot, taking a deep breath.
His pupils were already diffused at this moment, and his black eyes without focus were staring forward aimlessly.
Beside him, Walnut, who was worried about the whole day, was still sleeping, and Bun was lying on the chair, falling asleep with Walnut.
After a while, he deviated and stood up.
She raised her head and looked at the ceiling. She was wearing a maid’s uniform originally without a mask, but now, she silently took out the ghost mask and put it on her face. As soon as he was upright, he had jumped out of the next window and disappeared.
To this, the idiot did not respond.
His only reaction was to continue to sit still, and then his eyes faded...
Outside the window...
The clouds slowly began to pile up.
The sky that had been clear and cloudless was beginning to become dim at this moment.
I can't see the stars, nor the moon.
This city shrouded by war, at this moment, is gradually being shrouded by rain.
Drops-drops-
Rain dripped along the eaves.
The idiot didn't have any expression on his face listening to the rain. But above his right arm, the blood-colored pupils opened silently...
drop------
Another drop of rain fell.
When it landed on the ground, it was smashed into pieces...
Huh
Dimie unsheathed, the idiot lifted the hilt upside down and pierced fiercely towards the wall behind him. His expression was calm, and he couldn't see any vacillation, and his empty eyes were full of indescribable nothingness.
The sword that pierced the wall slowly retracted.
The sword was bloodshot.
When the sword was completely pulled out, there was a sound of falling to the ground in the courtyard close to the wall.
"Huh?"
"what happened……?"
The wind blew in from the window.
The cold and humid wind awakened the bread and walnuts. They rubbed their eyes and yawned. However, when the two girls saw the blood on the hilt of the idiot, Walnut was surprised, and Xiao Bread was surprised, and at the same time, fell into extreme calm. The colorful **** floated on her little hands.
"Uncle Sai Sa"
Suddenly, there was a thought in Walnut's heart. She immediately put aside the idiot's protection circle and opened the front of General Saiza's ward. But at the moment the door of the ward was pushed open, there was no accident with a sleeve sword. Pierced her heart.
"Woo"
The inexplicable pain instantly spread all over Walnut's body.
She lowered her head and looked at the severe pain in her chest, and at the white robe in front of her, the corners of her mouth opened and closed with bloodshot eyes. But in the next moment...
"Step aside."
A black sword blade pierced forward along her neck, directly penetrating the heart of the white robe.
Walnut sat on the ground, clutching her chest, enduring the pain. The massive blood loss in the heart made her weak for a while. She looked at the corpse of the assassin who fell to the ground because of an idiot's sword, and at the blood pouring from his chest. After a little hesitation, Walnut immediately rushed forward, opened her mouth, and aimed at the broken heart. It sucked.
Things... got a little worse.
The idiot held the sword and glanced at General Saiza, who was still on the verge of danger on the bed, raised his head and looked at the ceiling.
At this time, on the roof of the general's residence, among the grass, and on the edge of the wall, dozens of assassins in white clothes and robes were already standing, drenched in the fine rain, staring at the target.
Zelens Scarlet...
An assassin who seemed to be the leader, led the assassins under him to avoid the deviation that was already fighting with others in the rain, and jumped into the courtyard. They drew weapons such as swords, axes, or maces from their waists one after another, quietly looking at the ward behind the wall.
It seems that it was really a huge mistake to not directly kill you back then...A
