Bailey followed Night Blade Dance's back with his eyes: "Sares, I believe what General Night Blade Dance said, but what should we do if something happens to her?"
"Let's take it one step at a time. I don't think there will be any big problem. There are four sharpshooters following us. If anyone makes any unusual movement, they will respond immediately." Although Sares said this, his expression was not relaxed at all.
"I hope everything is fine." Bailey sighed softly, "Mayor Gulu said that she is our support in Tianjuan. If something happens to her, others might blame us."
Sareth nodded...
Night Blade Dancer stopped in front of the first fence. It was obvious that this fence was built in a hurry. Not only was it crooked and shaky, but there was not even a soldier guarding it.
Here, it is only one and a half miles away from the palace gate. Two hundred steps forward, there is a forty-step wide fortification made of sandbags, stone slabs, door panels, and broken ox carts. On both sides of the fortification are collapsed houses, and in the back are a large group of people crowded together, some holding bows and arrows, crossbows, large shields, and long swords. At a glance, there are about two to three hundred people.
After taking a quick look, Night Blade Dancer turned to the four crossbowmen and said, "Stop here. If you go any further, they will misunderstand you."
"No, we are ordered to protect your safety. If we stay away from you, the crossbow's range will not be enough." said the leading crossbowman.
"If the four of you insist on following us, they will start shooting as soon as we cross this fence." Night Blade Dancer looked at the four crossbowmen. "There are so many people over there, how can you four take care of them all?"
"But this is our mission and we must complete it."
Ye Jianwu smiled slightly, pulled out the dagger from his boot, and with a flick of his hand, the dagger, which emitted a faint cold light, was placed on his neck: "I told you not to follow me, so don't follow me. If you insist on following me, I will commit suicide, and your mission will still fail."
The four crossbowmen looked at each other.
"If I go there alone, I can save a lot of people. Your comrades and brothers can return to Assyria alive to reunite with their families. And I can also reduce the sorrow and crying in Tianjuan City. Besides, time is running out..." Ye Renwu's smile widened, "So, let's stop making things difficult for each other. Take five steps back and stop."
After hesitating for a moment, the four crossbowmen retreated as instructed.
"Thank you." Ye Jianwu smiled and nodded. With a flick of his hand, he tucked the dagger into his belt behind his waist. Then he took a step and kicked, and a section of the fence fell down with a bang...
"She's going there alone." Bailey frowned and lost his voice.
Sarres raised his telescope and took a quick look, then turned around and told the fifth regiment commander who was waiting behind him: "All artillery positions should be ready to fire immediately!"
"Yes!" The Fifth Regiment Commander's response immediately made the atmosphere in the headquarters solemn...
Night Blade Dancer's pace was not fast, but not slow either. The soldiers behind the fortifications watched her helplessly until she stopped only ten steps away from the fortifications. No one made a decision - to attack or to ask anything.
Ye Renwu is actually very beautiful. In fact, she is even more charming than Helen. The most valuable thing is that this charm is completely natural and not deliberate at all.
In the eyes of the soldiers behind the fortifications, Ye Jianwu was so cold and beautiful that it was suffocating, and her appearance was so suspicious. The moment she stopped, everyone sighed silently in their hearts, because they thought Ye Jianwu would come closer.
"I am Petra, the Paladin Warrior of the Heavenly Palace, and I have something to say to your commander, Bayer!" Ye Jianwu said loudly. The soldiers behind the fortifications discussed in a low voice for a while, then jumped up and turned to run towards the palace gate.
After a while, a general led more than ten riders on horseback and rushed over. They reined in their horses and stopped behind the fortifications. This general was Bayer mentioned by Ye Renwu. When Helen ascended the throne, he was just a minor general of the palace's deputy army.
"It's really General Ye Jianwu!" Bayer dismounted, separated from the others and walked into the fortifications. After hesitating for a moment, he bowed slightly and asked, "I wonder if General Ye Jianwu is still a favored person?"
"General Bayer, your question is very rude." Ye Renwu frowned.
"Disrespectful? Then please explain, General Ye Renwu, why are you with the Assyrians who invaded us?" Bayer jumped onto the sandbags of the fortifications, pointed his arm at the Assyrian flag not far away, and asked loudly.
"Invasion? No, General Bayer, they are here to help Tianjuan defeat the traitors!" Ye Renwu raised his voice, "And I, following the order of Emperor Helen, returned to Tianjuan to rescue the loyal people who were persecuted by the traitor Adolf Hitt and the thousands of people who were fooled by him!"
There was an uproar in the fortifications, and the soldiers looked at each other in confusion.
Bayer was so shocked that he jumped up. "General Night Blade Dance, is Emperor Helen still alive? Wasn't she ambushed by the Assyrians?"
"It was Adolf who ambushed Emperor Helen, and it was the Assyrians who saved Emperor Helen's life. Your Majesty is now in Assyria, and has reached an agreement with Assyria." Ye Renwu raised a jade seal with his hand, "General Bayer, this is the token given to me by Your Majesty. If you don't believe it, just take it and have a look."
“No need to look.” Bayer’s face became serious. “General Ye Renwu, to be honest, I don’t believe everything you say. If it was Her Majesty Helen who came in person, I, Bayer, would immediately surrender. Although you can produce Her Majesty’s seal, but based on your one-sided words…”
"General Bayer, I'm saving everyone's lives." Ye Renwu's face darkened. "The Assyrian army has surrounded this place. If they really wanted to kill everyone, I wouldn't have come here. Also, there is a secret passage inside this palace leading to the outside of the city. General Bayer, you are leading your troops to guard the periphery of the palace. You are using the lives of your soldiers to buy time for Adolf to escape. Do you think it's worth it? Maybe they have already escaped even as we speak!"
"Perhaps you are right, General. However, the order I received is..."
"Shut up!" Ye Renwu shouted at Bayer and ran a few steps to Bayer. "Baier, you are following the orders of the traitor, not the orders of His Majesty. Bayer, if you still insist, you will be a sinner of the heaven!"
"This..." Bayer hesitated.
"Bayer, withdraw your soldiers, then open the gate and let me in to see the traitor." Ye Renwu said word by word.
"The general is going to approach the palace?" Bayer was stunned when he heard the soldiers' exclamations behind him, "The palace is on fire! The palace is on fire!"
Bayer turned around and saw that a large cloud of gray-black smoke was rising above the palace. In the smoke, dark red flames were twisting and tumbling...
"General Bayer, order a withdrawal immediately!" Ye Renwu shouted urgently.
Bayer was stunned for a moment, then turned around and drew his sword: "Retreat! Retreat here!"
"Boom!" Suddenly, two loud noises were heard in the palace. Thick smoke appeared and the flames grew brighter. At the same time, the palace gate slowly opened and more than a thousand cavalrymen rushed out with lances in hand...
"You really don't follow the routine." Bailey frowned and clenched his fists.
Sareth on the side laughed: "Looks like we can't save ourselves from this."
"Go, bring people back to bring General Night Blade Dance back immediately. Make sure she's safe." Bailey turned around and ordered...
…
From the moment his trick was exposed by Woolley, Sartre made up his mind - to fight to the death and refuse to reveal the location of the ambush.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Stop dreaming. Humph. If you want to take down Napolini, you can just fight slowly and check house to house. I think, as long as you are willing to pay some price and endure the anger and counterattack of the civilians, I believe you can still wipe out our army. Hehe, so what if you know that I have buried explosives? As soon as you get close to there, 'bang'! Hahahaha!" Sartre laughed wildly.
"Lord, let me beat him up. If he refuses to surrender, he is not a prisoner." Spotted Wolf was so angry that his teeth were itching. He was very smart and had learned a lot from Wu Lai. Naturally, he knew Sartre's sinister intention of not surrendering.
"Alas... If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have bothered with this guy and would have directly attacked the city. It would have been easier." Pu Tong raised his eyebrows, "I agree to beat him up."
"No." Wu Lai frowned and waved his hands, his eyes swept over Banlang and Pu Tong, "We are a righteous army, how can we beat people up at every turn like gangsters? He is deliberately trying to annoy us. If we get angry, we will be in trouble."
"Hahahahaha! A righteous army? Pah." Sartre turned his head and spat, "I just want to annoy you, beat me, beat me, kill me. Do you think that if you are doing well elsewhere, it will be the same here in Napolini? You are dreaming. Even if Napolini cannot become your grave, it will cause you to lose many soldiers and generals. By the way, I have to remind you that once those explosives explode, there will be such a big noise. The barracks in the direction of Canyon Pass, hahahaha, just wait for destruction. This is your fate, a fate destined to fail!"
"Lord! He's gone too far." Spotted Wolf frowned.
"I think so too, Lord. Give him a beating." Pu Tong rubbed his hands.
Wu Lai stood up with a smile, walked slowly to Sartre, glanced at him, and said, "Sartre, there are two things I think it is necessary to tell you. First, I don't mind being irritated, because I always think that anger is also a kind of motivation. Second, I, Wu Lai Grindo, am the one who strangles fate by the throat, so don't talk to me about fate."
"Bah!" Sartre suddenly spat. Wu Lai dodged it by slightly turning his head. He smiled coldly and stepped back a few steps. He said to the spotted wolf, "There's no need to beat him. He's just a scoundrel. Just slap him in the face."
"Okay, lord." The spotted wolf's eyes lit up, he grabbed Sartre's hair with his left hand, and raised his right hand high.
"Stop, don't use your hands. He's so dirty, just beat him with the soles of your shoes." Wu Lai said as he walked out of the tent.
"Use mine, use mine. I accidentally stepped on a pile of dog shit today and didn't have time to wipe it off." Pu Tong said as he swiftly took off his right boot and handed it to the disgusted spotted wolf. "Hit him with this, and find the right angle. Try to make sure the shit goes into his mouth."
"Commander Pu Tong, you are so disgusting." Banlang couldn't help but say.
"You despicable villains! How dare you humiliate me like this!" Sartre shouted while struggling.
"So what if I humiliate you?" Putong glared at Sartre.
"Pu Tong, stop dawdling and come with me to see those counterfeits." Wu Lai lifted the curtain and walked out of the tent.
"Okay." Pu Tong responded and patted Banlang on the shoulder. "Good brother, hit him a few more times for me."
"Don't worry, I'll fight you fifty times and I'll fight a hundred myself." The spotted wolf replied with a smile.
Pu Tong caught up with Wu Lai and said, "Lord, this is a bit tricky."
"What's the problem?" Wu Lai asked as he walked towards the stable.
"That bastard Sartre refuses to say anything. If we want to clear the ambush, the price will be high, and it will also waste time. How about letting Banlang and the others do some more reconnaissance?" Pu Tong asked.
"It's not easy for them to get in and out, and we are short of manpower. Although they have good reconnaissance skills, we are in a hurry. You know, those fakes have been outside the city for so long. Even if they are not in a hurry, their families are." Wu Lai said, "We can start with them."
"Lord, do you have a plan?" Pu Tong was delighted.
"Sartre is a self-righteous person. Self-righteous people have a characteristic that they think things are foolproof, but they are often full of loopholes." Wu Lai laughed, "I don't believe that he can hide it from everyone in the city."
