Chapter 186: Surprise Attack on Huming City (9)
As soon as the soldier finished speaking, the 15 generals in the conference room immediately looked surprised.
"Enemy?!" The old man's tone was no longer calm at this time, "Where did the enemy come from?!"
"No, I don't know!" the soldier shouted back, "Suddenly a large number of cavalry invaded Huming City!"
"Who is the enemy? Are they Britannia?!" the old man asked.
"No, no, I don't know!" the soldier replied instantly.
"How many people are there?"
"have no idea!"
Looking at this ignorant soldier, the old man gave a heavy "tsk".
If it weren't for the fact that he didn't bring a sword, he was so anxious now that he really wanted to kill this soldier with a sword.
The 14 generals gathered around the round table were all panicked at this time.
"Enemy? Where did the enemy come from?!"
"Are they from Britannia?"
"But didn't the Britons go to deal with the Frankish Empire?"
"Yes! Besides, if the Britannia Empire wanted to deal with us, how did they get through the northern defense line to Huming City?!"
"Does that mean you're not from Britannia..."
"But if it wasn't the Britannias, who came over? Bandits?!"
"Which bandit has the guts to attack the headquarters of the northern defense line?!"
…
Listening to the noisy discussions of the generals, looking at the panic-filled faces of the generals.
The old man felt more and more irritable.
"Stop arguing!!!"
The old man shouted loudly.
The old man's loud shout caused the originally noisy conference room to immediately become silent.
"Don't forget that you are all generals! And you are all senior generals!" The old man scolded the 14 generals sternly, "Anyone in the army can panic, but you must not panic! Please calm down!! "
After hearing the old man's reprimand, the panic on the faces of the 14 generals gradually faded away, and everyone calmed down.
After seeing that these 14 generals had calmed down, the old man said in a deep voice:
"Come with me outside to see what's going on!"
After saying that, the old man took a step towards the door of the conference room.
As soon as the old man took a step, he heard the very familiar sound of breaking wind.
The old man who has been fighting on the battlefield for decades is naturally very familiar with this breaking news.
——That is the sound of breaking wind that occurs when arrows are flying.
puff!
The sound of arrows breaking through the wind stopped.
The sound of arrows piercing flesh was heard.
An arrow accurately shot into the neck of the soldier who had just interrupted the meeting rudely and came to report the news.
The arrow entered the soldier's neck, and the arrow emerged from his throat.
The soldier's eyes shot open.
His eyes were full of disbelief.
The soldier used all his strength to turn his eyes with difficulty, looked down, and looked at the arrow inserted into his neck.
The soldier's hands came up feebly and touched the arrow that had been stolen from his throat.
Looking at his appearance, he seemed to be trying to pull out the arrow.
It doesn't matter whether he has enough strength to pull out the arrow now. Even if he pulls it out now, there is no way to save him.
After the soldier feebly touched the arrow emerging from his throat, his hands dropped softly.
The expression in his pupils also gradually dissipated.
Finally, with a "pop", the whole person fell to the ground softly.
Bright red blood gurgled out from the wound in his throat, quickly staining the ground beneath him red.
Looking at the soldiers shot to death by arrows, the 15 generals, including the old man, all showed horror on their faces.
Then, everyone in the conference room heard footsteps getting closer and closer outside the conference room.
Judging from the footsteps, there were quite a few people.
Almost seconds after the soldier was shot to death, a large group of people appeared outside the door of the conference room and then walked into the conference room.
The person leading the group was a very young and handsome man wearing black cloth.
What is worth noting is that this man's right hand still holds a long sword that is still dripping with blood.
The long sword in this man's hand was all blood red from the hilt to the guard to the sword body.
The hilt and guard are both carved with complex and beautiful patterns.
Looking at this long sword that was as beautiful as a handicraft, the old man murmured in astonishment:
"The Knight's Sword...is from Britannia!"
The old man, who had been fighting with the Britannia Empire's army for many years, naturally saw at a glance that the sword in the young man's hand was a knight's sword that could only be owned by the knights of the Britannia Empire.
The knight sword of the Britannia Empire is a powerful weapon that is both beautiful and practical.
At the same time, the cost is also quite expensive. According to rumors, the price of making one knight's sword is enough to make 100 well-made swords.
Precisely because this kind of sword was so expensive, the Britannia Empire did not field a large-scale army. Only knights could use this kind of sword, so it was named "Knight's Sword".
The knight swords of the Britannia Empire are very easy to recognize. The knight swords have two most notable features:
First, it is colorful. There are more than twenty known colors of knight swords. The colors of knight swords among knights are either the same or different.
Second, it is very beautiful. The knight's sword has exquisite workmanship like a collectible.
Therefore, the old man looked at the blood-red, extremely finely crafted long sword in the young man's hand, and he had seen the knight swords of several knights from the Britannia Empire several times, so he immediately recognized it. This is a knight sword that only the knights of the Britannia Empire have!
The young man, carrying his knight's sword that was still dripping with blood, walked slowly towards the old man.
The large group of people following the young man also walked slowly towards the other 14 generals with weapons in their hands.
Looking at the young man approaching him gradually, the old man's face darkened, and his right hand subconsciously touched his left waist.
——But it turned out to be empty.
Because tonight's meeting was an informal military meeting, all the generals, including the old man, did not wear any armor or carry any weapons.
Looking at the old man who touched his left waist but found nothing, the young man couldn't help but chuckle and let out a mocking laugh.
Listening to the young man's mocking laughter, the old man suddenly felt extremely humiliated!
"Don't look down on people so much! Britannia people!!"
The old man roared angrily, raised the thin stick in his hand that was used to assist his explanation, and rushed towards the young man.
The old man is not a person who is good at fighting skills. In addition, he holds a thin stick in his hand that may only be used for scratching. Naturally, he is no match for the young man who is not young and strong and also holds a long sword.
Just when the old man's thin stick was about to hit the young man's head, the young man quickly raised his free left hand and grabbed the old man's thin stick.
Then he yanked in his direction!
After being pulled by this young man, the old man's center of gravity was immediately destroyed, and his whole body fell in the direction of the young man.
And just as the old man fell in his direction, the young man took a step forward and rushed towards the old man.
As he rushed forward, the young man raised his blood-red knight's sword.
The knight's sword pressed against the aorta of the old man's neck, and then under the inertia of the young man rushing forward, the sharp blade severely cut through the aorta of the old man's neck.
"Woo...Woo..."
The old man fell limply to the ground.
The old man who fell to the ground tightly covered the wound on his neck, trying to block the blood that kept spurting out.
However, what the old man did was in vain.
The main artery in the neck was torn, and it was basically declared hopeless.
The old man who fell to the ground stopped moving after his body twitched slightly for a few times.
The vitality and look in his eyes slowly dissipated.
After beheading the old man, the young man swung the knight sword in his hand to the lower right side, shaking off all the blood on the sword.
While the young man beheaded the old man, the large group of people who followed him into the conference room also happened to kill all the other 14 generals.
"Captain Enli," one of them said to the young man holding a blood-red knight's sword, "it seems that these 15 people should be all the senior generals of the Northern Defense Headquarters of the Luolin Empire, right?"
"Well, it should be so." Enli said with a proud smile, "As long as the senior generals die, the general headquarters will be almost abolished. Our 'surprise attack on Huming City' operation can be declared a success. Got it!"
