When the last group of Revolutionary Army soldiers disappeared from view, Will felt all his strength was drained.

The "Noble Chariot" was automatically disarmed, and he sat down on the blood-soaked sand, staring blankly at the corpses that covered every corner.

Several Titans soldiers cheered in low voices, as if celebrating their survival.But Will understands that today is just the beginning.

——————————————————————————————————————

After fighting during the day, when night covered the land, the Revolutionary Army and the Titans Army retreated to their respective positions tacitly.

Due to the "night attack" Tegu envoys appearing on the side of the revolutionary army during the daytime battle, as one of the few Teigu envoys in the "Titans" today, Will was assigned the task of watching the night.

At this moment, Will led a team of more than a dozen Titans soldiers, carrying lanterns and torches, to patrol the Baizhang Pass.

Baizhan Pass, when it was first completed, was named Baizhang Pass, which means the high and steep city wall of this pass.In the hundreds of years after its completion, Baizhang Pass was not well-known among the many passes in the empire.However, in the civil war that almost destroyed the empire 500 years ago, Baizhang Pass became the key to the orthodox side being able to turn the tide of the war.

[It is said that the defenders of the empire fought against the rebels at this majestic pass for half a year. After more than a hundred battles, the pass was still standing, until the main force of the imperial army came to help and defeated the rebels in one fell swoop... After the victory of the war, the emperor at that time was grateful After hundreds of battles here, we renamed it "Hundred Battle Pass", and even praised this place as the gate of victory for the empire... The adults above the court sent us here on purpose, probably inspired by what happened back then Bar. 】

Thinking wildly all the way, Will led the patrol team and unknowingly set foot on the top of the city.

The cold night wind blew, bringing with it a slight smell of blood, which immediately lifted Will's mind.

At this moment, Will suddenly heard the soldiers behind him shout loudly:

"Who is there!"

Sure enough, at the other end of the city wall, there were a lot of people, and there seemed to be someone there.

To Will's disappointment, the soldiers under him stood still except after shouting a word.

[Is this what you mean for me to go and see? 】

Will put his hand on the handle of the "Noble Chariot" with a wry smile, and faced the figure over there.

How should I put it, although he understands that the fear of his soldiers is natural, but Will thought of the revolutionary soldier who was pierced by him in the bloody day but was still tenacious, and the soldier who died bravely in the earlier battle. Bearer of the Titans.

The problem is that they were also heroic sacrifices. The Titans banner bearer was a carefully selected elite from the entire army; while that group of brave revolutionary troops... were just the most ordinary soldiers.

[Sure enough, the quality of the troops has seriously declined after the big change. 】

As he thought about it, Will was already within three meters of that figure.

Under the light of the torch, he finally saw the appearance of the man clearly.

"Lord Zecilia, why are you here!"

"It's okay, just treat it as me coming out to blow some air."

Some hoarse but feminine voices came to the ears of the soldiers who were originally huddled behind, making them tremble with fright—after all, they just saw their immediate superiors as rebels.

However, Zecilia was not in the mood to entangle with these superfluous soldiers. She waved her hand to let the patrol team disperse, and then went straight to Will:

"Young man, you fought bravely today. If you have a chance to return to the imperial capital alive, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely give you a big medal."

"I don't need any medals. It is my honor to fight for the emperor and the empire...and the people of the empire."

It's a sentence Will remembers from his days in the Navy.In the past, he had the experience of saying this sentence calmly countless times, but now when he said this sentence, the word "people" felt extremely difficult, and he almost bit his tongue.

"It's nice to be able to maintain a sense of normalcy in the face of adversity."

Zeshilia praised, and then suddenly asked:

"Do you think we can win?"

"Of course!"

Will said without hesitation.

Unexpectedly, Zeshilia asked back:

"What do you use to win?"

—Yes, what do we have?

Before Will could think about this question clearly, Zeshilia turned his attention to the camp of the Revolutionary Army in the distance.

Compared with the few scattered lanterns turned off in Baizhan, the camp of the Revolutionary Army is more like a city that never sleeps—all kinds of lanterns and torches illuminate the magnificent military camp over there and dispel all the haze nearby , so that the empire has nothing to take advantage of.

"How many people do you think they have?"

The two looked at the barracks of the revolutionary army below in silence for a while, and Zecilia asked.

"I think... there should be 5 people."

Will hesitated for a moment, then expressed his speculation.

"More than that. The latest data given to me by the 'Hydra' reconnaissance team is this."

Zeshilia made an "eight" with her hand and winked at Will:

"Do you know how many of us there are?"

"...less than five thousand."

Will spit out this number with some difficulty.

"That's not right. There are only 200 elite Titans who can really fight tough battles."

Zecilia sighed:

"The remaining thousands of forced defenders, as well as strong men, are not enough to increase our chances of winning... If there is no foreign aid, boy, you are dead."

"We still have you, Master Zeshilia Ulyanov!"

Will gritted his teeth and said.

"The Goujian on the opposite side is on par with me. The remaining Tegushi include Akahito, Najieta, Susanoo, and Ma Yin; the only Tegushi we can move are you and Bo Russ."

"How could it be! Black pupil, she..."

"Her eighth room was cut off by Gou Jian's Floating Sword. Except for a little mental shock, she is not seriously injured...just can't participate in the battle as a Tegu envoy."

Will, who was relieved to hear that the black pupil was not injured, immediately fell silent again.

After a long time, he finally spoke:

"We can ask for help from the imperial capital. If Baizhan Pass is lost, the empire..."

"It won't be a big problem, don't forget that there is Hulao Pass behind us."

Zecilia sneered:

"What's more, do you think the minister will send reinforcements?"

"This……"

Will was speechless.

As a middle-ranking officer of the Titans, he actually understands that in the current situation, compared to the Revolutionary Army, the Minister hopes that the Titans will be destroyed sooner.

The cause of everything started when Selesia was encircling and suppressing the stronghold of the night raid in the imperial capital.In that fierce battle, the just-created Titans were severely damaged. Not only did most of the elite soldiers recruited from various units lose most of their strength, but several Teigu envoys were also seriously injured. He is also partially disabled and has not woken up so far.

Afterwards, Titans fought against the ministers in the imperial capital. Although he regained some of his energy, Ran, one of the Teigu envoys, turned to General Esdes.

Afterwards, the Jerlock incident spread. According to Niu, the three-beast warrior who escaped by chance, the culprit who caused the plan to fail was none other than the commander of the Titans army, Zeshilia, who is now standing in front of him. of this woman.

Although this statement is full of loopholes, it is enough for the ministers and the others!

In the end, the Titans, who were supposed to take root in the imperial capital, were sent to this wilderness to fight against the revolutionary army, while the Northern Legion, which was close to the minister, played house with the peasants in the countryside.Although he didn't know what happened in the hall that day, Will had a vague feeling that in this game, it was the people from the eldest princess' line that lost.

"His Royal Highness will not sit idly by..."

"It's better not to expect anything from her. As far as I know, that guy is already exhausted."

Zeshilia shook his head, then straightened his expression, and said to Will:

"I decided to give up guarding the Hundred Battles Pass to preserve a bit of vitality for the Titans."

"In that case, the imperial capital..."

"I don't intend to flee back to the imperial capital to return to my command, but to move forward!"

Zeshilia was in high spirits, and she took out a roll of maps from her pocket. The countless arrows on it showed that she had already prepared:

"Look—we can protrude from here, and then take this mountain road to enter the territory of the revolutionary army, and fight guerrillas here, or here, and wait for the situation in the imperial capital to change."

Will understood that the plan had a good chance of success, but—

"What about the wounded?"

"If we retreat overnight, we can take the wounded with us."

"If we fight guerrillas, we and the local people..."

"Let's do both soft and hard. If they don't know good from bad and don't provide us with supplies, we can only let them die."

Zecilia said these words lightly, which shocked Will.

He thought of those brave soldiers of the Revolutionary Army earlier.

Looking at Zeshilia in front of him, he understands the difference between the empire he is loyal to, even the most admired chief, and the people of the Revolutionary Army, as well as his own ideals.

"I……"

- I don't want to hurt people.

The words lingered on Will's lips, but he couldn't say them out.

The officer he admired the most was looking forward to his approval.

His years of loyalty to the Empire also prevented him from uttering these words.

But is this really good?

Stretching out the butcher's knife to fellow citizens of the empire in the countryside?

At this moment, Will felt himself in an unprecedented confusion.

Chapter 208 197. Killing the "Wild Hound"

The war was raging outside the imperial capital, and the situation inside the imperial capital was not much better.

Standing on the top floor of the clock tower, Wan Yuri watched coldly at the magnificent but dying city below him.
