Chapter 845: The Fall of Chubol Fortress (Part 1)

Remember in one second [ ]

This poison is extremely toxic.

It took less than a few seconds from the beginning of coughing to death.

In other words, in these few seconds, all the people present - all the generals of the Chubol Fortress died of poison.

Of course, there are also very few people who still have a breath left.

For example - Marshal Veshelov.

Marshal Veshelov, who collapsed on the ground, wanted to stand up.

But no matter how he drove his limbs, his hands and feet would not listen to him.

Not only that, Marshal Veshelov also felt that his vision was getting more and more blurred.

He could clearly feel that his vitality was fading away rapidly.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that the light beside him dimmed.

Marshal Veshelov tried to move his sight and looked up.

He saw Adair standing beside him, looking at him with a calm look.

"Adair..."

Shock, pain, unbelievable... Marshal Veshelov looked at Adair with a variety of emotions.

"Is it you...?"

Marshal Veshelov, whose tongue was already somewhat numb, tried to turn his tongue to question Adair.

"Did you... poison the broth...?"

"...Yes."

"Why...?"

"I'm sorry..."

"Did you... betray your country...?"

"I'm sorry..."

"Is that so..."

Marshal Veshelov's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a self-deprecating smile.

"I never expected... I never expected that I would die at the hands of my own people... at the hands of someone I admired and wanted to cultivate..."

"I'm really... I'm so sorry..."

Adair didn't know if Marshal Veshelov heard his final apology.

Because after saying those self-deprecating words, Marshal Veshelov died without any signs of life...

...

...

As soon as Adair left the banquet hall, he was questioned by the waiters guarding the door.

"General, I just heard a lot of strange noises coming from inside. What's going on?"

As soon as the waiter finished speaking, Adair said in a cold tone without any emotion:

"Nothing, it's just that everyone's emotions were too high, so the noise was a little too loud."

"The marshal just ordered: From now on, no one is allowed to enter the banquet hall. Important military information is being discussed inside."

"Not only you are not allowed to enter, but no one else is allowed to enter. If anyone wants to enter, remember to stop them."

"From now on, anyone who trespasses into the banquet hall will be severely punished."

"Yes!" the waiter shouted, "We will never go in! We won't let anyone else in!"

After Adair said "um", he quickly left the place.

After Adair left, the waiter who had just talked to Adair said to another companion beside him:

"Did the general just cry?"

The general he was talking about was naturally Adair who had just left.

As soon as he finished speaking, his companion nodded in agreement:

"I saw that his eyes were very red and swollen. He looked like he had just cried. Isn't there a banquet to boost morale inside? Why is he crying? Is he too happy and crying tears of joy?"

"Forget it, let's ignore it and continue to guard the gate. From now on, be alert and don't let anyone enter the banquet hall."

...

...

After leaving the banquet hall, Adair walked straight to the south wall of Chubol Fortress.

After arriving at the south wall of Chubol Fortress, he issued two orders that made the guards and commanders of the south wall incredible.

The first order was to lower the portcullis of the south wall.

The second order was to let 15 soldiers wave torches on the south wall.

The generals and soldiers of the south wall could not understand any of these two orders.

"First-class Acheson!"

A junior officer asked Adair loudly:

"Why do you need to lower the portcullis on the south wall?! If you lower the portcullis, can the Britannia army outside the city come in?"

"Also! Why do you need to let 15 soldiers wave torches on the wall? Please give me a reason!"

"Watch your tone!"

Adair scolded the junior officer without any hesitation.

"Who do you think you are talking to?"

Adair tugged at the uniform of the first-class general on his body.

"I am a general! Only I can speak loudly to you! You are not qualified to speak loudly to me!"

After being scolded by Adair, the junior officer's face showed a strong sense of confusion and resentment.

But he quickly controlled his emotions, took a few deep breaths, and asked Adair in a much calmer tone than before:

"Sorry, Acheson. I was impulsive just now."

"I really want to know the reason for doing this

^0^    Remember [ ] for one second

."

"Humph." Adair sneered, "What do you know? This is a tactic!"

"This is the tactic that Marshal Veshelov just came up with to defeat the enemy!"

"Tactics?" The young officer asked in confusion, "What is this tactic? Why do we need to lower the portcullis?"

"That's enough!"

Adair waved his hand impatiently.

"Just do what I say! This is a military order!"

Although the young officer was still full of questions, he was forced to sigh after hearing the word "military order", and then ordered his soldiers to lower the portcullis of the south wall and sent 15 soldiers to wave torches on the south wall.

……

Su Cheng is now resting in his big tent.

Alan, who has always been inseparable from Su Cheng, naturally also participated in the "Aurora" offensive with Su Cheng.

It's still early now, and there's nothing to do at the moment, so Su Cheng is now playing cards with Alan in his big tent.

The cards that Su Cheng and Alan are playing now are the cards that have been popular all over the continent for more than ten years-Tekun cards.

Tekun cards are currently the most popular card game in the continent. They are not only cheap but also very fun.

Su Cheng first came into contact with Tekun at the beginning of last year, when Ilsa had just ascended the throne and Su Cheng stayed in the imperial capital.

It was at that time that the mysterious black-robed person, Liya, who could perform magic, the "girl" who looked 16 years old but was actually thousands of years old, taught Su Cheng to play Tekun.

After learning how to play Tekun, Su Cheng fell in love with Tekun.

Although he was not obsessed with it to the point of losing his appetite, he would play cards with the only card player around him, Alan, whenever he had the chance.

Just when Su Cheng was happily playing cards with Alan, a guard suddenly shouted outside the tent:

"Your Excellency the Captain! A messenger wants to come into the tent to report military intelligence to you!"

"Messenger? Let him in!"

"Yes!"

As soon as Su Cheng's permission to enter the tent was issued, a messenger quickly entered Su Cheng's tent and reported to Su Cheng:

"Your Excellency the Captain! The portcullis on the south wall of the Chubol Fortress has been lowered."

"There are still 15 torches shaking and waving on the south wall!"

Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
