Chapter 462: Choice

After listening to Black Swan's report, Kriolev did not speak for a long time.

"...Is this the message that man gave me?"

"That's right, he made it very clear. It's up to him whether to tell it or not, it's up to me whether to pass it on or not, and it's up to you whether to listen or not."

Black Swan nodded slightly.

"I see, you go down."

Kriolev sighed long, waved his hands, and the latter saluted, then turned and left. Kriolev turned his head and looked out of the camp, with a look of pain in his eyes.

Escape from... eh?

As Hermann's most prestigious general, Kriolev certainly understood what was wrong with the country. After the death of the previous king, the dispute over the succession between Princess Sheila and Prince Barton has not stopped. He just kept silent at the time, but deep down, Kriolev hoped that Prince Barton could grow up and become a qualified king.

But what he didn't expect was that Prince Barton, who couldn't bear the pressure, chose to join forces with the demons and attack Lisas, and was defeated and killed in the end.

And in this way, Princess Sheila became the emperor as a matter of course—became the puppet of those people.

He still remembered that he had met two people before, and at that time, they were both very cute children. But good luck tricks people, no one would have thought that it would eventually come to where it is today. Frankly speaking, Kriolev didn't know whether he should do this. He knew some inside stories about the royal family, and he also knew that the relationship between the Queen Mother Pamela and Prime Minister Steather was unclear, but as a warrior, He didn't think he should meddle in politics.

In Kriolev's view, this is just crossing the border.

But Duanmuhuai told him that he was just escaping.

Perhaps, what the man said was right. I have been ignoring this, and obeying the council's orders like a puppet. I am afraid that I want to ignore this subconsciously. But... is this really okay?

Isn't this a betrayal of the late emperor's expectations?

Does the current Herman have to experience destruction in the end?

Kriolev once believed that he should die with this old Herman as the last burial.

but now……………

"Um?"

Just when Kriolev was hesitating in his heart, he suddenly heard a loud noise from outside the tent, which made him frown involuntarily. And at this moment, his adjutant Karl also walked into the camp.

"Report your lord, the Second Army is here!"

"So fast?"

Hearing the adjutant's report, Kriolev was somewhat surprised.

"Who is leading the team? Is it General Aliteres?"

"no………"

"it's me."

However, before Karl could finish his sentence, he saw a person striding into the tent. It was a short, fat man with blond hair and glasses, and he stared at Kriolev with a wicked smile on his face.

"Hello, General Kriolev, Second Army Adjutant Kombat led the Second Army's reinforcements to report. Oh, by the way, here is the latest order from the council."

The latest directive from the council?

Hearing this, Kriolev's expression became more serious. He stretched out his hand, took the letter from Kombat, opened it, read it carefully, and then fell silent.

"……………grown ups?"

As if sensing some kind of ominous premonition from Kriolev's silence, Karl hurriedly asked, and at this moment, Kombat answered his question triumphantly.

"According to the council's order, I will be the commander-in-chief of this coalition force. You have no objection, General Kriolev?"

"What?!"

Hearing this answer, Karl stared at Kombat dumbfounded, unable to imagine that the council would issue such an order.

After all, Kombat was just an adjutant, not a general. In terms of positions, even if you want to change people, you can only choose from the generals of the Second Army and the Fifth Army. It is impossible for an adjutant of the Second Army to be the commander of the entire coalition army!

But... the truth is different.

Karl knew that Kriolev and the council had always been at odds with each other, and they had failed several times in a row in the past few days. It was obvious that the council no longer trusted General Kriolev. Although Kombat is an adjutant, but judging by his arrogant appearance, one can imagine that this guy definitely made some kind of deal with the Council in private. Thinking about it carefully, after all, among the three legions, the first army, the second army and the fifth army The relationship between the general and the council is not very good. On the contrary, only the adjutant of the second army is regarded as a guy who likes to follow others and likes to gain power... If he is in trouble with the council, it is not completely impossible.

"The Council is very dissatisfied with the results of the First Army."

Sure enough, Kombat soon became arrogant.

"The council asked us to capture the target alive at all costs, and your first army, with 40,000 people, couldn't even take down a mere Bonn fortress, which disappointed the council. Therefore, Prime Minister Steather ordered me to command the first army at the same time. And the second army, we must break through Bonn Fortress before the opponent's steel giant arrives!"

Having said this, Kombat clenched his fists excitedly.

"This time, I will personally direct!"

To put it bluntly, Kombat is indeed qualified to despise Kriolev.

It is true that the First Legion is the trump card division in Herman's country, but in terms of combat experience, the Second Legion, which has been fighting demons at the border all year round, is obviously richer. For the Second Army, as long as it can win, any means can be tolerated. This is also where Kombat looked down on Kriolev. He felt that this stubborn old man was too stubborn. In this era, chivalry and combat rules are no longer important, as long as he can win!

Soon, the next morning, Kombat excitedly launched another attack on Fort Bonn.

And this time, it was...

"It's time to show you how powerful Elsa is today!"

Standing on the city wall, facing the army in front of her, the blond girl in luxurious aristocratic attire did not waver at all.

"To be able to witness the magic of Ben Elsa with your own eyes, you don't know how many lifetimes of blessing you have cultivated—then, let's start!"

While speaking, Elsa reached out her hand and took out a crystal chessboard from her backpack, suspended in the air, and then her palm gently stroked over it, and the next moment, huge chess pieces suddenly fell from the sky , fell in front of Herman's army, as if it was a formation of chess pieces ready to go!

"Come on, fantasy soldier!!"

Following Elsa's order, these soldier chess pieces, which were almost as high as the city wall and held long swords, rushed forward jumping forward and attacked the enemy in front of them!

"This, what the hell is this?!"

Seeing these weird chess pieces, Kombat was also taken aback, but soon he calmed down and quickly issued an order.

"Quick, quick attack! Smash these chess pieces into pieces!"

Following Kombat's order, the soldiers of the Herman Legion also drew their swords and rushed towards the huge chess piece in front of them. For a moment, the two sides fought into a group, and saw the soldiers chess pieces raised their long swords high, and then swung them down vigorously, sweeping across the battlefield. Wherever they went, Herman's soldiers also flew up one after another, screaming and flying out. .

However, just when these Herman's soldiers were about to attack, they found a blur in front of them, and then one by one chess pieces that seemed to be walking fortresses blocked in front of them.

"Guard my soldiers, Fantasy Castle!"

Taking another step forward, Elsa raised her hand.

"Call the soldiers, Mystic Queen!"

"———————!"

Following Elsa's order, I saw a chess piece holding a scepter at the back raised the scepter in his hand, and then one by one fantasy soldier chess pieces fell from the sky and landed on the ground, and then they also took up their weapons , Attacking the enemy in front!

"Don't stop, smash it for me, smash these damn chess pieces!!"

At this moment, Kombat was also furious, but fortunately, although these chess pieces were quite powerful, they were not many in number. After hundreds of sacrifices, Herman's army finally defeated most of the chess pieces .

"boom!!"

As the last chess piece fell to the ground, shattered and shattered, the obstacles in front of him seemed to have completely disappeared. Seeing this, Kangbat's eyes turned red, almost seeing the hope of victory.

"Very good, give me a rush———————!"

"It's really stupid."

Seeing the Herman soldiers rushing over again, Elsa grinned.

"Miss Genius's strategy is perfect, you are no match at all, the ultimate king of the chessboard! Come here and win!"

"boom!!!!"

Following Elsa's call, a king's chess piece that was even taller than Bonn Fortress and wearing a crown suddenly fell from the sky and directly blocked Herman's army. At the same time, behind it, dozens of soldiers and knight chess pieces also fell down and entered the battlefield again.

how come?

Seeing that there were more chess pieces than before, Soldiers Herman and Kombat were all stunned. They never expected that the opponent's magic was so weird and terrifying! You must know that those chess pieces are not easy to deal with. Even the Herman Second Army, which is rich in actual combat experience, spent a lot of effort and losses to wipe out all the previous chess pieces.

But now it seems... Was that just a prelude?

"In this way, you will be a general!"

Looking at the pale Herman soldier in front of her, Elsa raised her hand triumphantly.

"Get ready to accept the final fiasco! In front of this talented young lady, you don't have the slightest chance of escaping!"
