Chapter 808 Close fight

8days ago Xuanhuan Novels 9
Have you heard any sound just now?Itise looked at Brian, who was commanding the soldiers to lay out the defense line under the hole.

sound?Brian stopped the work in his hand and looked around with doubt, "No, Miss Itise, I heard no other sounds except the sound of water."

Is that true?She frowned, did I hear it wrong?

What kind of sound is it?

Like a trumpet, it was very turbid... It was very close to the sound of water, and Itis paused, as if it was coming from the south.

That was the direction where the witches explored in depth. The surging river disappeared from north to south and disappeared into the dark cave. Although there were some glowing strange plants on both sides, they could not illuminate too far.

The entire waterway was like an entrance to the abyss, swallowing everything she saw.

Well... I think it may be because we are located deep in the snow-capped mountains, unable to see the sky, and even lack of firelight.Brian showed a considerate smile. It’s okay for the soldiers who have been on the battlefield, but it’s not surprising that you will feel nervous. If you feel uneasy, you and Miss Maggie will return to the entrance of the passage together.

Familiar expressions and familiar words…Etis was not surprised by the statement of the Musket Battalion Commander. Although she was wearing light leather armor and helmet and a sword hanging around her waist, most people still regarded her as a bystander sent by the town hall, or... a pearl-like woman, just like her title, beautiful and fragile.

It is precisely because of this that caring and pleasing along the way seems very common.

But they didn't understand that the pearls produced by giant clams in the north were all soaked in blood.

The blood of fish, the blood of water beasts... and even the blood of fishermen.

That's why they grow so huge, thus giving birth to round pearls as big as fists.

Roland Wimbledon was probably the only one who ignored her appearance from the beginning and even treated her as an opponent.

Thank you, but it’s better for me to stay here. If I escape alone, wouldn’t it be embarrassing His Majesty’s Town Hall?However, Itise did not express what she thought. She smiled and declined Brian's suggestion. This smile made the other party feel a little stunned. After a while, she turned her gaze embarrassedly.

I don't think your Majesty and Lord Barov would mind this... Brian coughed twice, but I don't quite understand why you should follow the First Army to such a dangerous place?

Only then will you trust me, Ah, said Itie without any concealment.

What?

You should have heard of the Battle of God’s Will. She said frankly that when a war that determines fate comes, His Majesty naturally cannot take into account all aspects of the battle. He needs many officials to assist him in commanding the army, and the army also needs people from the city hall to provide logistics and support.And at that time, would you trust an official who has fought side by side with you, or a guy who sits in the office and deals with manuscripts all day?

... Brian showed surprise on his face, and was stunned for a moment before speaking, "You really dare to say these things...

Of course Itise knew what he was referring to, and even a former patrol captain who was born and raised in the village could understand the meaning of this statement.

To put it nicely, it is called assisting and commanding, and to put it badly, it is called intervening power. If it were other lords, this was absolutely intolerable, especially the group of knights under his command, which must be controlled by himself.

But now the number of the First Army has exceeded 5,000, and the Knights' approach is obviously too behind. In fact, the General Staff formed by His Majesty is such an organization between the army and the city hall. The final power is still to him, and the command power below will only spread further.

It was because of the clarity of Roland Wimbledon's thought that Itise dared to say these words.

She didn't plan to join the General Staff, she just wanted to expand her influence as much as possible.

If it were other kings, of course I wouldn't dare, but His Majesty Roland was different... She smiled and said, "You must know that even the city hall officials need to go to the front line to participate in the battle before they can be eligible for promotion." Since I said this in front of everyone, I have to set an example."

Your Majesty...he agreed?

No, I can only say that I didn't object.

Well, that's not the same as agreeing?Brian wondered.

Politics cannot be understood so much. Itis spreads his hands, and even verbal promises may not be counted before they become clauses, let alone silence.

So that's it... The Musket Battalion Commander couldn't help but sigh, politics is really complicated.

That's right.

In addition, further entering the witches, understanding their abilities and personalities, and living with them are also the purpose of this trip.

Your Majesty undoubtedly devotes a lot of energy to the witches. The construction of the Winter City cannot be separated from the witches. If you want to reach the peak of power, you naturally need to win their support.

As of now, the plan is going very smoothly. Perhaps because she is also a woman, she will not attract rejection when she comes into contact with the witch, which has become an obstacle for Barov.

The next batch of people who came should be the God-Punishing Witch, right?Itis changed the subject.

Well, it should be that Miss Maggie can only transport five or six people at a time, and she has to run at least ten times to build a sentinel.Brian also replied, "By the way, where do you think the second machine gun is better?"

The terrain is relatively high... Well, I remember there was a rocky ground behind it that seemed good... Just as she turned to look at the cave behind her, a luminous plant seemed to be twisted, as if something had broken the stability of the air and the scene became blurred.

What?

Before she could warn her First Army soldiers, the air was violently distorted again, and this time the ripple appeared behind the machine gun squad members.

With a slight sound, a soldier's head rolled down from his neck, and his smile still solidified on his face.

Enemy attack!Itis shouted at this time, the enemy is invisible!

Almost as soon as the words were finished, two more soldiers were pierced through their chests, and the ripples were dyed with red rays.

There is more than one other person!

Her mind turned sharply, and she threw a dagger with one hand and flew straight toward the position where the first soldier fell. At the same time, she drew her sword to follow when the dagger was hit by an invisible object, her long sword pierced into the root of the ripples from another angle.

Itis knew that if he kept retreating, he would only be double-teamed in front and back. There was only one bonfire here, which was also the only way to discover the enemy's movements. Without the fire, they would not be able to resist such an almost invisible monster, so they would never escape easily!

While you can still roughly determine the enemy's position, attack is the only chance to win!

A soft touch came from the top of the sword, as if it had pierced into the flesh, which made Itis happy.

She was not wrong. Whether it was humans or beasts, the connection between weapons and bodies must be weaknesses, such as the hand holding a sword and the end of the claws. Once damaged, they will lose their offensive ability in a short time.

Just as Itise was about to retreat, a cold wind swept towards her from the other side, and the speed even made her feel the chill.

Hell, this guy actually has two weapons?

Years of fighting experience made her subconsciously release her right hand holding the sword, and roll to the ground at the same time. It seemed as if something was passing her from behind her head. Her long hair suddenly scattered, blooming like withered petals, sprinkling everywhere.

She didn't bother to get up and shouted directly at Brian, "Come on, shoot me!"
