Chapter 1071 Missed Opportunity
Everyone in the war room has left, and only Monica, Shadow, and Hohenheim are left in the room.
Looking at Hohenheim's annoyance, Shadow also wanted to leave, but was stopped by him.
"Tell me about the beheading battle in detail."
Ying thought for a while: "Okay." He sat on the chair and said: "Actually, tonight is really Zalberg was almost killed. When we led the Yinhuang Army there, the guards at their camp were not only inaccurate, but also underestimated this. The strength of the Wan Yinhuang Army, not long after the battle, the enemy army was already in chaos. The two generals Fann and Langya and I chased and intercepted Zarberg several times, but we were defeated by his guards and the Black Feather Camp. He was stopped. In the end, Langya and I had forced Zalberg into a desperate situation, but a group of very powerful people still emerged and rescued him.”
Hohenheim said bitterly: "If I had known earlier, I would have sent two more people to go with you."
Monica said: "General Cheman, you don't have to blame yourself too much. The failure has nothing to do with you. We don't have many defenders to begin with, but in tonight's battle, the army has been damaged to this extent. , without two people like Fann and Langya who can fight, the Royal Capital City will be in danger. Once there are not enough guards in the Royal Capital City, and Zarberg cannot take it, the king and us will be completely finished." br>
"Yeah, we can't take this risk." Hohenheim could only lament helplessly.
Monica stood up and said: "The fighting has stopped now. Cheman, you are seriously injured. You should take a good rest while you are being treated in the hospital. You haven't slept much in the past few days. I'm going to the hospital to see my son, do you want to come with me?"
"You go first, I'll go after seeing Fann's casualty report."
"Then I'm leaving."
Ying looked at the two of them and left. As he walked on the road, he thought about the previous beheading battle. In the war room just now, he did not say that he had every chance to kill Zalberg, but did not take action. At that time, he was riding the Emperor Dragon and could burn Zalberg to death on the spot with a single breath of dragon flame. Even if the bloodthirsty demon could block Zafino's dragon wrath, it would be difficult to protect Zalberg from being affected.
"He saved me, did he save me? When?" Ying was not a kind-hearted person, but Zalberg's words really made him confused. He thought to himself: "If he didn't kill me before, I can understand it, but how could he save me? It's impossible for him to save me. Brother Rehog has been chasing me for so long, and he knows my identity Yes, he didn't fall out with me and kill me. He probably wanted to take advantage of my ability, but there was no way he would do it because of that. Save me, this makes no sense. And I have been in danger several times recently. Once I almost died at the hands of Rehog's brother, once I was seriously injured and almost killed by a hired killer, and then I was in the King of Heroes. At the tomb...could it be that time?" Ying was shocked in his heart, but his brows were furrowed again.
After thinking about it, he had already arrived at the door of the hospital, Ying shook his head: "No, there is no reason, it is illogical. Maybe he is delaying time on purpose, waiting for someone to save him. Haha. , Damn bastard, I was fooled by him and missed this good opportunity. What should I have done then? He didn't listen to anything and just let Zafino spray him with dragon flames. Forget it, don't think about it. It makes people regretful just thinking about it."
In the southwest of the city, in the camp of a certain army. , Zalberg still looked in shock, thinking about the life-and-death moment just now, he had never felt that he was so close to death.
In the camp, only Ignatis, Apollo and a few others were present, and the officers were still busy preparing for the battle.
Ignatis said to Apollo: "Your Majesty, we are here to help under the order of the throne. If you need help, please just ask."
Apollo to Zalberg Said: "Would you like to ask the medical staff to come over and take a look at you?"
< br>Ignatis said: "I checked him on the way here, and he was not hurt."
Zarberg, who had been in a daze, suddenly shouted angrily: "I should have done it in the first place Kill him, Celeste Bingzhixie!”
Apollo said: "I didn't kill him that time. Now that he has obtained Long Ling's power, it's not that easy to kill him again."
At this time, someone outside the tent shouted: "Report."
"Come in!" Tonight's encounter made Zalberg's tone less peaceful than usual.
An officer came in with a soldier.
“What happened?”
The officer said: "Prince, when we were searching the destroyed base camp just now, we found the body of your housekeeper outside the camp. This is his head. He has been chopped into pieces."
The soldiers will put on the head. The box was handed over to the officer, who in turn handed it over to the bloodthirsty demon.
"What? Ganner..."
The bloodthirsty demon opened the box, took a look and nodded: "It's Ganner."
The officer added: "Scene There was a surviving soldier who said they At that time, you and your housekeeper were escaping to the camp with the women from the Prisoner's Gate. Suddenly, they were intercepted by a white-haired boy riding a dragon. The hostages from the Prisoner's Gate were snatched away by him, and the rest were also captured. Killed by his dragon."
"It's Bing Zhixie again!" Zarberg punched the wooden box next to him. He took the box from the bloodthirsty demon, looked at the head in the box, and closed his eyes unbearably: "Oh ~! Ganner has been with me for decades and is the one who knows me best and understands me best. My right-hand man, he just became a grandfather last month, and he said he would go see his grandson when things here are over. Unexpectedly, his grandson died here before he could see him. It was me who hurt him. "Zarberg was filled with grief and tears flowed down.
Everyone was silent. The most caring housekeeper who had been with him for decades suddenly died. Who wouldn't be sad. Ignatis glanced at the people around him and walked out of the camp.
Zarberg slowly closed the box, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said: "I want to bury his body in the royal capital myself. Lieutenant Colonel, follow me. What happened to those officials and ministers? "
The officer said: "There are many missing officials and ministers who have not been found yet. We are working hard to find them, but we have also found the bodies of some adults. "< br>
"Let's go, take me to see."
In an open space in the military camp, all the officials were placed here. They looked very embarrassed, some were crying loudly, and some had lingering fears.
Zalberg led people to the outskirts of the resettlement camp and frowned when he saw these conditions.
Someone next to him laughed and said: "Humph, these officials and ministers are usually better at talking than anyone else, but they just cry when something happens."
The officials saw Zalberg coming. , stood up one after another.
"Prince." Panotta squeezed out of the crowd and followed Trossa.
Zalberg was overjoyed: "It's good that you two are fine. I heard that many people died, so I'm afraid something will happen to you."
Panotta said happily: " Thank you for your concern, Prince."
Zarberg asked: " What's going on? "
Panotta said: "These officials have never suffered much. They get into chaos when they encounter the smallest things. I have calmed them down just now and will calm down after they have finished venting. It’ll be fine.”
"You are the most capable. I came here to find you. Come, come and discuss things with me." 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 and call Raul, Bernstein, and Disman."
“Yes.”
A few minutes later, Raul and the other three came in one after another.
Zalberg said directly: "Bernstein, first tell me about today's battle situation."
Bernstein said: "Let me put it simply, in tonight's attack, our attack on Nancheng achieved certain results. Although we failed to attack in the end, there were loopholes in their defense of Nancheng. I have observed the problems. As for their senior officers and commanders, the large-scale attack in the past three days has left many officers at the general level injured, and our repeated operations have made their officers unable to cope. Come up. But I also saw some new faces in their army today. They are not wearing armor with the imperial mark. They are probably civilians or mercenaries. As for the casualties of the army, they are still being counted."< br>
“It is certain that there will be casualties when attacking the royal capital.” Zalberg said: “What about you, Raul?”
Raul said: “I have already calculated the situation in the military camp. "My army plus the flanking troops guarding the base camp, a total of more than 14,000 people died."
Both Bernstein and Destein's expressions changed: "So many casualties?" The attack lasted less than an hour."
Raoul sighed: "This was my mistake. I didn't expect that the capital was so tightly attacked, and they dared to send heavy troops out of the city to attack us. Base camp, not at all Prepare. And I didn't expect their army to be so powerful. We have nearly 60,000 people and can't stop their attack of 10,000 people." As he said, he went out and asked the soldiers to come in with two pairs of armor and swords. "Prince. Look, these are the weapons and equipment I took off from the fallen Yinhuang soldiers. Under this kind of sword, our soldiers' armor is like pieces of paper, but our swords can't hurt them."< br>
He picked up the white nuclear crystal steel saber and slashed it on the ordinary armor. The armor was immediately split into a long crack. Then he pulled out his sword and slashed it on the black nuclear crystal steel armor. With a clang, there was no damage to the nuclear crystal steel armor.
Bernstein said in surprise: "This... this is too strong. Disman."
Desman said: "I have seen Galvas wearing this. It's a kind of equipment, but I haven't tried it myself. I just heard that it is excellent, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful. "
Zarberg said: "To put it aside, I called you to discuss tomorrow's battle plan. Devil.”
