Chapter 1026

"Shall I go?"

In the iron window of the floating city of horn castle, the shocked Female Elf Warrior Alexandra almost tried her best to restrain her inner amazement and stared at Lucien in front of her:

"You, you this is... This is to secretly release me?"

Grey pupil paused and seemed to be surprised by the other party's attitude. He nodded a second later.

So Alexandra said the second question she wanted to ask, which was almost nonsense.

"Why?"

"Because I may not be able to fulfill my previous commitments." the reason is complex, but Lucian explained as simply as possible: "Lord Loren... Because of something, he has made up his mind to no longer tolerate the capture of the Azores; as his escort, I must carry out all his orders."

"If you stay here again, the only end is death."

Hearing the grey pupil boy in front of him say this sentence so coldly, the Female Elf couldn't help shivering.

After all, a glorious death in battle is quite different from being executed by the enemy when there is no resistance.

"But... Let me go, isn't it against your master's order?" the uneasy Alexandra still stared at Lucian's face, hoping to get an answer:

"Besides, this is the strongest fortress of your empire. What can I do to escape?"

These were two questions, and Lucian decided to answer her first and then one.

"The army led by your Majesty the eagle king is now on the glacier wasteland outside the fortress; just a few days ago, they just wiped out the last investigation team of the Empire." the grey pupil boy said in a deep voice: "at present, the emperor in the fortress is preparing to go out of the city with my master and another Duke."

"So tonight the fortress will be very chaotic, and it's your last chance to leave; of course, I'm not saying that you can run easily. Even if you're not found, there are trenches, horse stakes and pits outside the fortress gate... In short, there are countless traps."

"But at least I kept my promise to set you free after I got the way of samurai."

Alexandra's expression trembled slightly.

Unexpectedly... This human being, he really kept his promise; She had been prepared that the other party would threaten and lure, and then she would rather die than follow.

The opposite Lucian waited without saying a word, but his face showed a bit of impatience.

After a moment of hesitation, Alexandra raised her head tentatively and asked quietly, "then... How should you explain to your master?"

"It's very simple, I told him." the grey pupil replied lightly.

"What, what?!"

Alexandra was completely surprised.

"Yes, I told him it was all arranged by me - you were the bait I put out to attract the elf army in the glacier wasteland." Lucian shrugged. "So he agreed, because he and the emperor really need this information right now."

"I see..."

The stunned Female Elf suddenly became angry: "so you're not going to let me go, but to use me?! I..."

"Whether you use it depends on what you think." Lucian interrupted her impolitely:

"I will send two demon hunters to follow you; you can try to get rid of them or kill them - although I don't think you can do the latter for the time being."

"But in any case, this is an opportunity. Whether you try or not... I've untied your shackles, and I won't close the door; if you want to go... Only tonight."

With that, the grey pupil turned and left, and the shackles and the key to the iron window were thrown aside.

Only Alexandra herself was left in the cell, staring blankly at the broken boundary mountain rising into the clouds outside the iron window, as well as the twinkling and free stars in the sky.

Do you want to?

This must be a trap. They want to use themselves to find clues about his Majesty's army; But it is an opportunity anyway; If you don't leave after tonight, you won't be of any use to them.

Then... You're dead.

Death... Or the fear that life and death are controlled by others without resistance makes Alexandra fall into a huge contradiction.

But if you survive, it should be more beneficial to your Majesty the eagle king... Right?

At this moment, the chief adjutant of the supervision court brightened up, as if he thought of the key to the problem.

Yes, I have a lot of information about the Imperial Army - the enemy's strength, the next deployment, the fortress's defense system, and their private plans... These should be very useful to your majesty.

I don't want to escape in order to save my life. I want to be loyal to his Majesty the eagle king and the great righteousness of the life and death of the Azores!

Taking a deep breath, Alexandra struggled to get up and hurriedly picked up the cell key on the ground.

At this moment, Alexandra had no more fear in her heart; At this moment, there was only one thing left in her mind.

Find your Majesty the eagle king and let your majesty know all the information you have collected, as well as the process and results of the battle of eboden!

…………………………

"Did you succeed?"

On the top of the quiet floating city tower, Dalton kand stared at the gray pupil boy who came up from under the stairs and asked expressionless.

"She had just climbed over the wall of duanjieshan fortress a minute ago, and now she is probably trying to get around those ditches and pits?"

Lucian opened his mouth and replied, "I have sent four demon hunters to follow - two bright and two dark. I won't lose them."

"What about intelligence?"

"What should be revealed has been revealed - there is no problem with the system layout of the fortress, the number of troops and the next deployment."

"Told her?"

"Yes, but I only told her that two people would follow."

"Will you be found?"

"If you cooperate well, you won't; if there is an accident, there are remedies."

"Confirmed?"

"It has been checked twice, all in accordance with the original plan.

Dalton nodded slightly, looked at the glacier wasteland in the distance immersed in the night, and silently turned and walked down the stairs.

"Lord Dalton!"

Seeing that the other party was leaving, Lucian, who kept his words in his heart, couldn't help shouting at the other party and asked with a tangled look:

"Why can you guess that Alexandra will leave?"

Dalton stopped, looked back silently and glanced at Lucian:

"Because I know."

This incomprehensible "answer" makes the expression of the grey pupil boy more tangled.

"When there is a chance to live, no one wants to be killed - even if they know it's a trap, they will jump in to win a glimmer of hope."

After meeting with Ruth infinite, Dalton Kande's biggest change is that he began to be willing to patiently explain the reason to others: "if we don't explain to her, maybe she will hesitate; but when we have a showdown, there are only two choices left for her."

"Die, or live; she doesn't want to die, so she will definitely choose the latter."

"But it doesn't make sense!" continued Lucian. "I... I'm not saying how brave she is, but she's really not afraid of death!"

"Not afraid of death and wanting to die are two different concepts." Dalton kand shook his head. "What is the purpose of the Azores to launch this war?"

"Er... For the sake of life and death?"

It took a lot of effort for Lucian to recall this sentence from his mind.

"In other words, survival or death is also a very important thing in the eyes of the Azores - they are no different from humans in this point." Dalton whispered:

"So the universal truth for human beings is the same as that for elves; as long as it is possible to continue to live, as long as they have not lost their desire to survive, they will recklessly ensure that they are still alive."

"What about the reason - since she knows it's a trap, what reason does she have to obey our ideas?"

Lucian still doesn't understand.

"Why?"

Dalton Kande's eyes coagulated and he thought of something. His expression was a little uncertain: "Lucian... Human beings, no matter how they hide their emotions, nine tenths of all our actions are made by the desires and emotions generated by the body."

"The reason placed on it can actually produce very limited changes; and its most frequent role is to provide a motivation or excuse for behavior."

"So reason is a means used to deceive others or deceive oneself afterwards; as long as it is confirmed that a person's idea is still in line with a natural person's normal thinking and does not fall into a state of insanity..."

"The reason... Doesn't matter at all."

With that, Dalton didn't care whether the gray pupil boy really understood, so he turned and left and walked down the stairs; after a full minute, the contemplative Lucian came back and kept up.

In the "Castle hall" of the floating city, the black haired wizard is also making final preparations before departure.

"Because his majesty Connor must garrison the fortress of duanjieshan, I will be fully responsible for all the deployment of this war."

Before the round table, Loren looked around at all the generals and commanders: "if you have any needs and difficulties, please say it now."

At the other end of the round table, everyone looked at each other.

The first to speak was Aton glenwell, Earl of stormcastle.

"What is the purpose of this war, just to establish a stable outpost and barracks near the blood skeleton Valley?"

"Yes... No." Lauren nodded. "We need to build two or three camps in the blood skeleton valley that can accommodate at least 3000 people and horses, cooperate with the Cape floating city to complete a large-scale investigation and determine the location of the Azor elf army."

"Of course, this will certainly attract the enemy's attention, so we should be prepared to resist the enemy's siege; even when necessary, help duanjieshan fortress share some pressure to ensure that the fortress will not fall."

"How many troops do we have?"

This is what the Earl of red blood Castle Eckert is most concerned about: "in addition to Byrne's 5000 troops, floating city and red dragon grum, how many troops can we get from the fortress?"

"Emperor Conrad will provide us with two thousand legions, and so will Archduke Sarika Jonah, two thousand Hussars." Lauren whispered:

"Of course, the price is that the wizards and alchemists we brought must leave a considerable part to help duanjieshan fortress, continue to strengthen defense, and provide logistical and medical support in wartime."

Count Eckert nodded slowly, expressing no objection to the decision.

"In other words, the total number of troops dispatched this time is nearly 10000, of which 7000 are cavalry?" lanmalos, count of Lake City, frowned slightly: "and it's still in the blood skeleton valley where there is no supply at all - in this case, our logistics is not very dangerous."

"The floating city can store supplies for the whole army for a month." Loren continued: "the fortress of duanjieshan will form a baggage team of 500 people to carry supplies with sleds and carriages, and provide us with supplies once a day. The time is set every evening."

The people's expression was slightly stunned, and then they understood that this was a trap to induce the elves to attack the baggage.

If they succeed, they will mistakenly think that the camp is out of food;

If it fails... The army of blood skeleton Valley can complete the previous task and get the information of the eagle king's army from the prisoners. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

"Er... I have a question." Lucian, who just walked in, tentatively raised his right hand and looked at the black haired Wizard: "if I remember correctly, it needs the cooperation of a large number of wizards and dwarf craftsmen to fully operate the floating city; how can we start the floating city if we lend the wizards to the fortress?"

"This..."

"It's not a problem at all, okay?!"

Before Loren finished, Isaac robbed and said, "with me and AI... Ayn Rand, as long as there are seven or eight more potatoes - I mean wizards, it's enough. There's no need for so many people!"

But the dark haired wizard looked at him and shook his head.

"No, Isaac, you must stay at the fortress of duanjie mountain."

"What?!"

"This is Conrad's request, but... In fact, I think so." Loren calmly looked at Isaac: "because the fortress of duanjieshan can't be lost, I can be more relieved if you stay."

"But what can I do if I leave this ghost place?" Isaac didn't understand at all: "those potatoes... I mean alchemists, who don't even understand what I said; the female Archduke of Boye? She's a little better than the female monkey; the cavalry captain of the fortress? If he can eat and drink water, I doubt whether he is a living man and Emperor connord..."

"It's Lena de sallion's cousin!" Lauren stared at him. "In other words, it's your big cousin - and it gave you the title of knight and pressured Lena to marry your benefactor!"

After ten seconds of silence, Isaac finally vented his anger: "well, I see - for Lina's sake, I'll try my best to help him defend the city."

"Thank you." with a sigh, Loren glanced at the crowd again:

"Then next, I'll arrange your tasks..."
