Heart of Empire Chapter 208: Mighty into the city (2 in 1 large
Dane said: "We need to enter White Wolf Castle as soon as possible."
Chapple replied: "Yes, I understand. But before that, we have to get in touch with Costa in White Wolf Castle. He is the supreme commander of General Morneau's troops left in the castle."
"It should." Dane said.
After all, they are now a team of more than 1,000 people. If they drive directly to the White Wolf Castle, Costa will definitely get nervous, which may cause unnecessary misunderstandings. It is necessary to notify in advance. matter.
Soon, Chapple wrote a letter and sent a whole squad of white wolf soldiers with familiar faces into the city as messengers. With the three flags of White Wolf Fort, they continued to walk towards White Wolf Fort at a relatively slow speed.
On the second day, that is, on February 9th, the whole army marched for several kilometers, and the outline of the city of White Wolf Fort was already in sight.
The messengers sent earlier returned quickly, but only one person returned. With a frightened expression, he handed a letter written by Costa himself to Dane and Chapple.
After reading the letter, Chapple scolded with an angry face, and Dane also had a serious expression.
Costa rejected their request to enter the city. What's even more shameful is that apart from the soldier who was sent back to deliver the letter, he also detained all the messenger team he sent.
This is already quite a provocative act, but it is more than that. His reply letter is extremely arrogant and disrespectful, full of a provocative flavor:
……
"Brother Chappelle."
"I have read your letter, and we are very unbelievable about what you said. The news of General Morneau's death came too suddenly, which is really unbelievable. There is no more information on the front line It is impossible for me to believe that the general has died in battle just because of your one-sided words."
"Besides, even if what you said is true, making Dane the new White Wolf General is even more incredible. If the general dies in battle, even if he wants to choose a new leader, That is also the result of discussions between us old men of White Wolf Castle. I know Dane, but what is he? A mercenary leader, why can he be the new Lord of White Wolf Castle? Let him bring a thousand It is even more impossible for many soldiers of unknown origin to enter White Wolf Castle in such a swaggering way. I don't know what is in your head that makes you write such a letter. Make such a request."
"I will interrogate the soldiers who sent the order to confirm how true the news is. Even if it is true, it is absolutely impossible for Dane to become the new lord. I really want to lead the army into the White Wolf Fortress, then see if your swords are sharper or the walls of White Wolf Castle are stronger. If the two of you are brave enough, you can go into the city alone, and we can have a good exchange about how the general died, and Dane And why do you want to be the new leader of White Wolf Castle?"
"Colonel Costa, commander of the third wing of the White Wolf Army."
……
A letter of hundreds of words, without a word of kindness, made Chapple very angry, especially the sentence 'I don't know what's in your head', which was almost tantamount to pointing at him The nose is cursing.
"This damned Costa! He was a squadron leader under my subordinate three years ago, how dare he talk to me like that today?!"
Chapple was full of resentment, but in comparison, Dane, who was also said in the letter as "don't know something", was calmer.
This kind of trash talk is too much in Schindler. When he was in the mercenary circle, Dane didn't know how many times he said or heard it for provocation, for venting, or simply because of rudeness. Similar words. To the point where he is such an old fritter, he certainly won't lose his mental balance just because he is scolded a few times-if that is the case, he is really following his wishes.
Dane felt that Costa's letter was written so unceremoniously, almost to the point of swearing, it was very likely that it was intentional and extremely purposeful.
The reason why he had such a guess was based on an intuition and the meaning of Costa's last sentence that he was very concerned about.
He wants Dane
Go into town alone with Chappelle.
"This Costa, does he want to become king on his own?" Dane said with a sneer.
Chapple froze for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "It's not impossible... This guy's ambition has always been relatively high."
"I guess this is for sure. When the news of Morneau's death came, he said that he had no way to be sure of the accuracy of the news. The letters he personally wrote, and the news sent by the soldiers who have lived in White Wolf Fort for a long time, are so credible that there is no need to question it. He blocked us from bringing the army into the city, isn't that clearly showing his own petty thoughts?"
After listening to what Dane said, Chapple finally understood. He said: "Then the two of us can't enter the city alone as he said, the danger is too great."
But Dane had a different idea: "No, the two of us have to go to town."
Chapple was a little surprised: "Isn't that suicide?"
Indeed, as Chapple said, it is easy to enter the city alone, but it is difficult to get out. If Costa really has the idea of self-reliance as Dane guessed, Chapple, the most prestigious person in White Wolf Castle after Morneau's death, and Dane, who he supported, must definitely removed. They were afraid that they would have to be imprisoned or even killed shortly after entering the city.
Dane shook his head and said, "The danger is great, but we have no choice. If we want to control the White Wolf Fort, we must enter the city and meet the soldiers and officers. The soldiers fought against each other—I think you don’t want to do this, and I don’t want to. Since we can’t use war methods and don’t want to enter the city to take risks, how can we become the new masters of White Wolf Castle? As for Costa... hmph, He wants my life? See if he has the ability to take it away!"
"Okay! Let's go! I also want to cut that guy's head open to see what kind of thoughts come out of it!"
……
On the evening of February 9th, Dane and Chapple arrived under the hanging door of White Wolf Castle as promised with five or six guards.
With a creak, the wooden hanging door was lowered and placed on the ditch of the moat. The two men with five or six guards walked into the fort through the hanging door without fear.
Inside the city gate, groups of white wolf soldiers, fully armed, lined up in two groups. Dane walked in front, and Chapple was a little behind him. The two completely ignored the shining spears and swords twice, and walked forward step by step. At the forefront of the army, Costa, who was riding on a white wolf, looked at the two with a heavy expression.
"You really dare to come..." Costa whispered in a voice that only he could hear. At the same time, he cast a glance at the two henchmen on the left and right.
This is an arrangement that has been prepared long ago.
The two people walking among the swords and axes suddenly heard a commotion coming from the surroundings, and some vague voices sounded:
"General Morno is dead, they are murderers!"
"Murderer!"
"They killed the general!?"
……
Morno, who built the White Wolf Fort with one hand, has an undoubted position in the hearts of all the soldiers in this fortress. The news of his death came too suddenly, and he had never seen his corpse. We have doubts. Now, this restless voice is even more provocative and deceptive. The soldiers looked at Dane and Chapple with different eyes, and at the same time, their swords began to shake.
The situation became extremely dangerous in an instant!
If the soldiers were really fanned up, hundreds of people present were bewitched to riot at the same time, and they attacked the two who were only protected by five or six guards, after the hanging door behind them had been lowered, Under such conditions, they would have absolutely no chance of surviving, and would be chopped into meat paste.
At the critical moment, Chapple took two steps forward, took a deep breath, and roared with almost all his strength: "I am Chapple! The deputy commander of White Wolf Castle! Your chief! Who is bewitching you?" ? Do you have the ability to stand up and confront me?!"
The roar of the high-ranking warriors shook the sky. Chapple exhausted all his strength, and the roar almost made the few white wolf soldiers who were about to move near him unable to stand still. they are angry
Hou Zhi fell to the ground and his ears were oozing blood.
With a roar, the audience fell silent. The majestic momentum, coupled with the prestige brought by Chapple's years of sitting in the White Wolf Fort, calmed down all the commotion in an instant.
While Chapple roared, Dane continued to walk slowly in the queue at a steady pace without changing his complexion. His face was calm, his eyes were firm, and he was not affected in any way.
Chapple calmed down his chest, returned to Dane's back, and stood beside him in a protective manner, expressing his meaning very clearly.
The two walked silently and firmly surrounded by swords, but a quiet force spread silently to the hearts of all the people around them who were watching them. Especially Dane who was walking in front, with his head held high, his strides were steady, and his own aura formed from his whole body.
Costa, who was at the front of the queue, had a slightly ugly expression on his face. He looked at Dane and Chapple who were walking towards him, feeling a little embarrassed. A confidant next to him made a throat-cutting gesture to him, meaning whether he should simply let the hands hidden among the soldiers jump out and shoot at Dane and Chapple.
Costa hesitated for a while, and finally shook his head slightly, deciding not to do it. The plan to incite the soldiers failed, and now if a small group of people suddenly jumped out to make a move, it would be difficult to bring all the soldiers together. After all, Chapple's status is unusual, not an outsider, and a sudden attack may be counterproductive.
Taking a deep breath, he looked at Dane and Chapple who had walked not far in front of him, only to find that Dane's eyes had been fixed on him. Feeling flustered, he dared not look at Dane anymore.
The white wolf under his crotch seemed to sense the fear in his master's heart, whimpered, and took two steps back.
Everyone present saw this scene. Costa's aura, which was already very weak under Chapple's roar and under Dane's calm demeanor, completely collapsed in an instant.
Costa realized that his emotions were wrong, and at the same time, he also noticed the strange eyes of the surrounding soldiers looking at him.
Now, it should be obvious that he has the upper hand, and his soldiers are all around, and Dane and Chapple only have six guards. Why should he be afraid of Dane?
He took a deep breath in his heart, feeling somewhat calmer. Looking at Dane and Chapple who had come close, he patted the wolf, and said according to what he had already thought about: "I want to know, how did General Morneau die? Are you among them?" What kind of role did you play?"
It was obviously a questioning tone, but the voice from his throat was a bit hoarse, so that the questioning had no strength.
Chapple's face was slightly mocking, but he didn't speak, but followed closely behind Dane. And Dane continued to walk forward, and at the same time said to Costa who was weakly questioning: "General Morno died heroically in the battle against the orc army. He is worthy of the name of a hero, and I am the general. The most solid comrade-in-arms and partner from beginning to end!"
Compared with Costa's hoarse voice, his answer is much sonorous and powerful!
Costa opened his mouth, wanting to continue to ask some sinister questions, but Dane didn't give him this chance.
Only hearing Dane's voice suddenly raised to a higher level: "I am Dane, a friend of General Morneau, Schindler's ghost knife, the lord of Comilla Island, and a soldier of White Wolf Castle on the battlefield. Fighting side by side, fighting endlessly on the same battlefield at the last moment of the general's heroic sacrifice!"
A word is stronger than a word, and a word is more powerful than a word! Until the last sentence, it is no different from a battle cry!
The terrifying aura soared to the sky, although the long knife was still in the sheath, but at this moment his whole body was like a giant blade that soared into the sky, powerful and sharp!
Under the overwhelming aura, Costa felt as if a tiger was approaching him. He was still able to calm his mind, but the wolf under his crotch seemed to have met the ruler, his limbs went limp, and he knelt down on the ground!
Seeing that Dane continued to walk towards him with a frightening gaze that seemed to be choosing someone to devour, and the mount under his crotch was so weak, his mind panicked instantly. r/>
"Block, block, block him, don't let him come over!" His voice trembled a little.
Dane slowed down when he saw more than a dozen soldiers around him rushing to protect him and Costa. He didn't intend to violently kill people on the spot.
Stopping in front of these soldiers who looked at him with fear, Dane looked at Costa behind the guards who had just come down from the back of the warg, with a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth~IndoMTL.com~ Then, He turned around and faced all the soldiers of White Wolf Castle in front of him, as if the master was declaring: "I will inherit the will of General Morno, and I will fight with all the white wolf soldiers with the sword in my hand and my life. The soldiers of Wolfsburg continue to fight side by side, and we will face the same challenges and enemies..."
Having said that, he pulled out the blood of the earth from behind, raised one hand high to the sky, and let out a battle roar with all his strength. Chapple and the other soldiers who came with Dane also raised their weapons and began to roar. Then, some of Chapple's subordinates who were infected by Dane and respected Chapple on weekdays, or even used to be Chapple's subordinates, also raised their weapons together, and then, all the white wolves gathered at the gate of the city The soldiers also shouted along with the others.
Seeing such a scene, Dane let go of his hanging heart. He enjoys being stared at eagerly by everyone, enjoys the soldiers shouting excitedly because of him, and also enjoys the glory represented by this fort that shines brightly in the evening sun.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Costa leaving in a panic under the protection of a group of soldiers, with a sneer of disdain on his lips. Now, it's not time to deal with him, but his life in White Wolf Castle is a hidden danger.
Dane will not let Costa go, he promises to prevent that guy from seeing the sun tomorrow.
