In fact, Chen Xing forced Ruth to join. Recruiting a maid who could play the piano was only part of the reason. It was mostly because he wanted to keep Ruth as a hostage.
He is not the kind of young man who has not yet left the society, full of self-admiration and self-nobility, and feels happy when others praise him. But they don’t know that people’s hearts are sinister and human nature is complex, and they believe whatever others say. Wu Hai said that he would surrender, but it was only a few words and had no actual effect. On the day of the decisive battle, no one can be sure whether to participate in the battle or not.
Who knows if this is a delaying strategy?
Others have come to your door and you still don't take hostages. That's something only a fool can do.
The core of the Silver Claw Iron Triangle is Ruth. As long as he holds Ruth, the Silver Claw Iron Triangle will be self-defeating.
Also, Wu Hai and Zhu Zexi are the heads of the family, while Ruth is just a guest. There must be a sufficient reason to detain the head of a wealthy family, otherwise it will arouse the resistance of the local nobles.
Letting them go back to persuade other wealthy families is more valuable than staying here as hostages.
After a while, Ruth returned to the camp and said that Wu Hai and Zhu Zexi had left.
"I may have to wrong you a little in the past few days." Chen Xing said.
"No servant dares to disobey the master's orders." Ruth lowered her eyes, looking obedient.
"Bang!" Chen Xing took out the handcuffs and blindfold from the storage space and threw them in front of Ruth. A war is imminent, and there must be no possibility of leaking military information.
Ruth picked up the blindfold and put it on herself, then picked up the handcuffs and cuffed her hands behind her back.
"Maid maid, arrange a place for the new couple and keep an eye on them day and night."
"yes!"
A few days later, as the day of decisive battle approached, Duke Zilan came to the front line.
Without saying a word, Chen Xing directly gave up the tent to Dongfang Xuanyuan. Regardless of status or strength, or gratitude to those who support the team, they should be given the highest treatment. Just like when the king visited the principality below and the king gave up his throne to give the king a reason, Chen Xing also gave up the top spot in the combat command room to Dongfang Xuanyuan to show respect.
But this is only a formality. The real supreme commander is Chen Xing.
Also coming together was Dongfang Xuanran. She was alone, neither her son nor her husband came.
"I am weak and weak, but I insist on coming to the front line and causing trouble for my uncle." When Dongfang Xuanran saw Chen Xing, she knelt down and saluted.
Chen Xing thought to himself, you also know that you are weak, and you shouldn't come if you know that you are weak.
Originally, with her elite level strength, she shouldn't have appeared here. Not only will it be of no help, but it will also become a target for enemy attacks. If he is captured and the other party uses her to threaten to retreat, even if Chen Xing disagrees, Duke Zilan will intervene, and the final outcome is unpredictable.
But there was nothing that could be done about it. Without Dongfang Xuanran's persuasion, Dongfang Xuanyuan would definitely not help. Anyway, once you get there, take care of it and just pay more attention to protection.
At this time, Silver Claw's city defenders also left the city one after another, and stationed themselves opposite the expeditionary force across the place where the flags were planted.
Two days later is the day of the decisive battle, and the war is about to break out.
In order to cooperate with the upcoming decisive battle, the armies of Chiyan, Hanling, and Black Spear launched an attack on the armies of Red Dragon and Black Feather.
This was an exploratory operation aimed at putting pressure on the Northern Alliance. If any group army dares to send its main force to assist the Silver Claw battlefield, and its interior is empty, the exploratory battle will immediately turn into a battle of annihilation.
This is also the reason why Chen Xing did not transfer her to the Silver Claw battlefield even though Lacey was taking orders from Chen Xing.
This war is between the Northern Alliance and the Four Nations Alliance, and the Silver Claw battlefield is just one of them. But this is the most critical battle. If Chen Xing wins, it will break the deadlock north of the Ambergris River and the Northern Alliance will fully enter the dominant stage.
Many people could not have imagined that Chen Xing had suddenly emerged and with 200,000 men, he could reach the foot of the city of Silver Eagle Territory.
Marquis Haitang's long-famous Twelve Knights of the Round Table could not withstand the combined force. The gluttonous monarch sent by the Lan Kingdom did not even have the courage to fight, so he turned around and ran away.
Nowadays, the deeds of "breaking the army's target" have spread throughout the Ambergris River, and have also attracted the attention of some people abroad.
"The Silver Claw battle is about to begin. The target of defeating the army is Marquis Haitang. Who will win?"
"The heroic warship blows the horn of dawn."
"The light of the alliance will win this battle!"
Tens of thousands of kilometers away from the battlefield, in a palace carved with dragons and painted phoenixes, a pair of delicate hands put down the newspaper, picked up the communicator on the pear tree table, and dialed a certain number.
"Dudu, dudu..."
On the other side of the continent, the tall maid picked up the communicator, looked at the screen, wrote down the name of the caller, then put the communicator into the disc, put one hand on her shoulder, and walked with two long legs. Come to the master gracefully.
"Master, the seventh princess of the Qing Kingdom, Zhao Ruoxi's voice communication."
A hint of wariness flashed in Chen Xing's eyes. Nova and Sola had serious suspicions about what happened last time. It was probably them who betrayed the news that he fell into a coma.
But he is no longer the little person he used to be. Even if they want to harm him, they don't dare to do it openly. Even if he is an enemy, he can face it calmly.
"Hello, I'm Chen Xing." Chen Xing's voice was low, with a kind of magnetism unique to men.
"Long time no see." A quiet and peaceful voice came from over there, like the girl greeting you in the afternoon sunshine.
"Long time no see." Chen Xing said with a relaxed tone. Faced with such a soft and pleasant sound, even the sugar-coated bullets have to be taken a bite. At least it’s sugar on the outside and medicine on the inside.
"I heard that you are going to fight recently." The other person seemed to have nothing to say.
"Yes, it will start soon." "Will I disturb you?" "No." "That's good..."
It has to be said that Zhao Ruoxi is not a very good chat initiator, and she runs out of words in just a few sentences.
"What do you want from me?" Chen Xing asked proactively.
"No, I just want to tell you, please be safe."
There was a deep concern in the quiet voice, which made people feel warm all over their body. Even though it was the season of melting snow, there was no feeling of cold. Suddenly, Chen Xing felt that he couldn't drink some poison...
Time flew by quickly, and the day of the decisive battle arrived in a blink of an eye.
It is now the end of January, and the ice and snow have begun to melt. There is a slight freezing rain in the sky. It is bitingly cold. The snow water has gathered into small streams and criss-crossed the snow.
The position was completely dark. The soldiers were tightly wrapped, shoulder to shoulder, holding their rifles tightly. The atmosphere was solemn and tense.
At seven o'clock in the morning, the morning light poured over the earth. Chen Xing put on his marching cloak and came to the front of the position.
Also appearing together was Dongfang Xuanyuan. Duke Zilan was dressed in a purple dragon robe with a jade belt, a golden crown on his head, and a sword at his waist. He stood in the cold wind with his head held high, his blood-red cloak fluttering in the wind, and his whole body was filled with the aura of the king of a country.
Chen Xing stood on a high place, looked around at the dark crowd, and said, "Who wants to be the vanguard in the first battle!"
Battle of Honor, also known as "Capture the Flag", involves both sides competing for the location of the flag. Usually the location of the flag is the nearby commanding heights, and occupying the commanding heights can create a battlefield advantage.
However, due to the limited range, the first to enter the high ground will be subject to the greatest degree of fire coverage.
Therefore, both sides will not send large troops at the beginning, because artillery coverage will cause large-scale damage, only
A small number of vanguard troops will be sent to seize the high ground. ,
There was silence below, and no one took the initiative to step forward and serve as a vanguard.
The vanguard troops not only have to brave the firepower of the enemy's entire group army, but also have to fight to the death with the vanguard troops on the opposite side to compete for the control area of the highlands. This task cannot be completed only by the elite of the elite.
"Expeditionary Force Guards, the first elite battle group, come out!"
A loud voice suddenly sounded. There was only a swish sound, and more than two hundred people took a step forward at the same time, making a neat sound of stepping.
Their uniform blue cloaks have "Thunder Light" printed on the left arm and "Guard" printed on the right arm. The left side represents the past and the right side represents the future.
A stalwart man stepped out from the crowd and saluted Chen Xing with clasped fists.
"The first elite battle group, willing to be the vanguard!"
The warrior behind him had firm eyes and was silent, but his fighting spirit was high and his momentum was like a rainbow.
This is the temperament possessed by an iron-blooded warrior who has gone through countless battles and crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. There is no doubt that even if there is a mountain of swords, a sea of fire, or a hell of lava ahead, this group of people will rush forward without hesitation and kill everyone.
Chen Xing raised his hand and was about to agree when another deep and deep voice sounded.
"Expeditionary Force Reconnaissance Brigade, get out!"
More than five hundred people came out at the same time. All wearing a white camouflage cloak, with "Master" printed on the left arm and "Reconnaissance" printed on the right arm.
Chen Xing slowly put down his hand.
A tall fat man strode down below, clasped his fists and said: "In the previous battles, the reconnaissance brigade has been conducting reconnaissance outside and failed to participate in the battle!"
"I implore the Supreme Commander to give our brothers a chance to prove themselves!"
"Your reconnaissance brigade just needs to do a good job in reconnaissance. It is the duty of our Guards to charge into battle." The stout man stepped forward and said.
"Huozui, you Guardsmen have done enough, so don't compete with your brothers for these scraps." The fat man said sincerely.
"This is a tough battle. You guys who are investigating can't do it," the stout man said.
The big fat man's face darkened, "Whoever says I can't do it, I'll beat him!"
"Do you want to fight? Come on!" "Come on if you want. I'm afraid of you!"
The two people were talking and arguing, and they rolled up their sleeves and looked like they were about to fuck.
"Okay!" Chen Xing stopped him, "The war is about to begin. How can you two generals fight with each other like this?"
The two of them took a step back at the same time and nodded to Chen Xing to apologize.
Chen Xing looked at the two brothers who had gone through life and death in front of him. The friendship between the two had long been thicker than water.
His eyes moved between Huozui and the big cat, and finally landed on the big cat.
"First battle vanguard, reconnaissance brigade!" Chen Xing said loudly.
In the defensive battle of Da Da Town, the Guards bore the greatest pressure and sacrifice. Later, in Qin Wu's sneak attack, two generals, Tie Pao and Xiong Ben, were lost.
Even the sharpest sword will wear out if used too much. It's time to give these tough guys a break.
The big cat looked happy, clasped his fists and accepted the order, "Yes!"
"Boss..." Huo Zui wanted to say something more, but Chen Xing stopped him, "This is an order!"
Huozui suddenly shook his head and sighed.
"Be careful!" Huozui put a hand on the big cat's shoulder.
"I'll come back and have a drink with you!" Big Cat hit Huozui's chest.
"You have to keep your words!" "There's no need to talk the talk!"
Deep friendship can be found in just a few words.
