"It's over, it's over, God is going to kill me." Anthony looked at his soldiers falling down in pieces, wanting to cry without tears.
"General, general, let's leave quickly. Break out and you won't be able to leave after playing." The deputy general begged Anthony beside him.
Anthony sighed and said, "That's it, let's go."
He waved his hand and led the army to rush outside despite the rain of arrows.
Along the way, people kept dying, people kept falling, and people kept calling for help.
Under heavy protection, Anthony finally left the valley. At this time, there were not many people left behind him. At a glance, there were only about a hundred or so people.
The Qin soldiers made an earth-shattering roar, and they were about to rush over to hunt down Anthony's defeated soldiers.
Anthony had no choice but to lead the few remaining people and flee crazily into the distance.
People kept falling behind along the way.
Anyone who fell behind was killed.
When it was dark, Anthony got rid of his pursuers and came to a secluded place.
He was panting and said to the lieutenant: "Water, is there any water?"
The deputy general was covered in blood and fell beside him exhausted: "General, let me take a breath."
Anthony looked at his soldiers. There were not many who could stand up. Everyone was too tired.
Anthony closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
This time, he originally planned to cooperate with Niori to destroy the Qin army and increase his prestige.
Who would have known that Anthony, who was cheating and cheating, would actually collude with the Qin army.
All the elite men he brought with him were killed. These are the most capable people in the Kingdom of Gods.
After these people died, the Kingdom of the Gods could naturally form another team, but... the combat effectiveness of this team was not the same as before.
Perhaps, when facing the Qin people in the future, they will have to fight and lose every battle.
Anthony actually felt that although the Kingdom of the Gods was a giant, it was on the verge of decay, and the slightest disturbance would cause it to collapse.
At this time, the deputy general next to him came over and whispered: "General, the last general has something to say again."
His voice was low and mysterious, obviously not suitable for others to hear.
Anthony understood and walked away with his deputy.
The two walked several hundred meters and finally found a small river, and then lay down by the river to drink water.
After taking a gulp of cold water, the deputy general started chatting: "General, there have been some rumors recently. I wonder if the general has heard of them."
Anthony looked at the deputy general and asked in confusion: "What rumors?"
The deputy general said: "There are rumors that the Qin soldiers are recruiting generals who will surrender. They will be paid well and will not refuse anyone who comes."
Anthony was silent.
He looked at the deputy general and said with piercing eyes: "Do you want to surrender?"
Under the moonlight, Anthony's eyes shone brightly, revealing a fierceness that made the deputy general a little scared.
The lieutenant general took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to say to Anthony: "General, it's not that I want to surrender, but...does the general think that the Kingdom of the Gods can still survive?"
Anthony was silent for a while and asked quietly: "Do you think the Kingdom of the Gods can no longer be established?"
The deputy general said: "The country of the gods is not bad, but these Qin people are too powerful."
"Their swords are very sharp. If our swords collide with them, they will immediately break into two pieces."
"Their horses are also very strong and galloping. We are no match at all."
"In addition, they can also control lightning, telescopes, and cameras. These things are beyond the control of mortals."
"They are most likely gods, or in other words, the chosen ones. Such people cannot be competed with."
"In the past, only some of the Qin people came here, and we were defeated one after another. Now more and more Qin people are coming here, and we are helpless."
"Now, the elites of the Kingdom of Gods have been exhausted again. Isn't this...isn't it obvious?"
Anthony still said nothing.
The deputy general sighed and advised earnestly: "General, this is a major change that has not happened in thousands of years. We must plan for this kind of thing in advance. If it is too late, we will have no choice but to surrender."
Anthony thought for a long time, then glanced at the lieutenant.
He said calmly: "If you surrender, there is no need to say it. I will not surrender. How many battles have we fought with the Qin people? How many Qin people have we killed? Even if we surrender, there will be no good results."
The deputy general saw that Anthony was thinking, and said quickly: "General, those Qin people have said that bygones are bygones. Let alone the general, even if Augustus surrenders, they will not pursue it."
Anthony turned his head and looked at the deputy general with a puzzled face: "Those Qin people said it? Which Qin people said it? Have you seen those Qin people?"
The deputy general shook his head vigorously and explained: "No, no, I have never seen it, I just heard about it."
Anthony sneered: "Hearsay is not enough evidence."
"If they want to win over us now, of course they will say let's forget it. But as time goes by and they gain a firm foothold here, they will definitely settle the score later. I have seen this kind of thing a lot."
The deputy general was a little disappointed, but he nodded and said nothing more.
Suddenly, Anthony looked in one direction and shouted loudly: "Who is he?"
The deputy general was smart and looked in that direction, and he saw several figures.
The deputy general shouted immediately, and the sleeping soldiers all got up.
They ran over in panic, thinking that someone from Qin had touched them while they were sleeping.
However, when they saw those people clearly, they were stunned.
These people... don't seem to be from Qin.
Anthony drew his sword and asked sharply: "Who are you?"
Those people said tremblingly: "General, we are Neo's men."
Anthony's eyes almost burst into flames when he heard Neo's name.
Those people were indeed Neo's men.
When Li Shui was searching for Neo, these men fled in all directions. Some of them were luckier and managed to escape.
When they saw Anthony, they immediately burst into tears and said excitedly: "General, we have traveled thousands of miles and finally found you."
Anthony snorted and said, "Really? What do you want from me? What information does Neo want to give me?"
The leader of these Neo's men is Matt.
He reacted the fastest and suddenly thought: Neo was killed, this is big news. If this news was given to Anthony as intelligence, wouldn't it be a great achievement? Will Anthony reward me? Will...
Thinking about this, Matt said with a mysterious face: "There is indeed information, does the general want..."
Before he finished speaking, Anthony raised his knife and chopped off his head.
He looked at Matt's body and sighed: "I want it? I want a shit."
The people behind Matt were stunned.
They looked at Anthony dumbfounded: "General, general, why are you..."
Before he finished speaking, Anthony pointed at them and said: "Kill them all, leaving no one alive."
When the people behind Matt heard this, they all ran away frantically.
So, a chase in the dark night began.
…………
Augustus was drinking.
Now he likes drinking more and more.
Wine is something that feels particularly good after drinking too much. Especially in that slightly tipsy state, you can forget all your worries.
The only fly in the ointment is that David is missing from his side.
Recently Augustus had brought many young men from all over the country, and they all looked somewhat similar to David.
However, there are some similarities, but not completely similar after all.
Augustus often favored a person, but after three or five days, he quickly lost interest and kicked him away.
After doing this three or five times, Augustus was already a little tired.
"Well, it would have been better if the Qin people had not come." Augustus thought secretly.
At this moment, a close minister walked in.
Augustus frowned when he saw his ministers.
This close minister took over David's position, but how cool and calm was David back then?
In this comparison, this close minister is far behind.
But... well, it's better than nothing.
Augustus shook his head.
"What's the matter?" he asked calmly.
The close minister said: "Today, there is a piece of news."
"Oh, is it good news or bad news?" Augustus said quietly.
Recently, Augustus had developed a problem that he himself could not understand.
He particularly likes good news and hates bad news.
If it is good news, he will reward the messenger heavily.
If it's bad news, then I'm sorry, I'll cut it off with a knife.
When the messenger heard Augustus ask this question, he immediately shuddered. He knew that this old habit had happened again.
He thought for a while and said tremblingly: "This news is a bit strange. It can be regarded as good news or bad news. It all depends on how the general understands it."
Augustus looked at the messenger and suddenly sneered: "Trying to be clever with me? Okay, let me see how a piece of news can be both good news and bad news."
"If you can't explain clearly, I will chop off your head immediately."
Konomi suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
He said tremblingly: "Today, I saw someone."
Augustus remained calm.
Konomi waved, and a man covered in scars and in a state of embarrassment walked in.
After this man came in, he could hardly stand.
He collapsed on the ground and looked at Augustus with a wry smile.
Augustus said calmly: "Who are you?"
The man said: "The villain, the villain is Neo's subordinate."
Augustus frowned: "Who is Neo?"
The close minister whispered: "A nobleman from a small border town."
Augustus was a little annoyed: "Why do cats and dogs come to waste my time?"
The man said nervously: "Little man, I have important information. I saw with my own eyes that Anthony surrendered to the Qin people."
When Augustus heard this, he stood up immediately.
His eyes widened and he stared at this man with piercing eyes: "If you lie to me, I will definitely kill you."
The man wiped the cold sweat on his head and said, "I don't dare to lie. I really saw it with my own eyes."
"After the Qin people occupied the small town, Neo has been dealing with the Qin people and secretly wanted to raise an army. He originally had an agreement between Neo and Anthony to cooperate with the inside and outside to attack the Qin people."
Augustus nodded and said, "That's good, what next?"
The man added: "Then, for some reason, Neo was captured by the Qin people."
"Those Qin people seem to know us very well, and they are sure to catch us every time. It is clear that someone leaked the information and knew Neo's plan."
"It was obviously Anthony who told such a confidential matter."
Augustus looked at the man in confusion and said quietly: "It may not necessarily be Anthony who told this matter. Do you have any evidence?"
The man nodded: "Yes, there is evidence."
Augustus frowned.
The man borrowed the words: "Later, we luckily escaped from the small town and went through all kinds of hardships to find Anthony. At first, Anthony couldn't help but want to kill us all."
"I escaped into a river and soaked in the cold water for a day and a night before I dared to go ashore and narrowly escaped."
"Anthony, he has clearly taken refuge with the Qin people. Otherwise, why would he hate us so much?"
Augustus actually believed this man's words.
The man added: "Moreover, Anthony has been fighting and losing every battle in recent days. He has clearly made an agreement with the Qin people to consume our national power."
Augustus stood up suddenly and threw all the wine glasses in front of him to the ground in anger.
Then, he pointed at the person who reported the news and said: "Come here, chop this person up for me."
The person who reported the news was confused: "Why...why?"
Unfortunately, before he could hear the answer, his head fell to the ground.
After Augustus killed the messenger, he looked at his ministers.
"I'm waiting for your explanation." Augustus said calmly.
The close minister coughed dryly: "First of all, Anthony has defected to the Qin people. This is definitely bad news."
Augustus nodded.
Konomi added: "In addition, this is also good news. Because we have found the reason why we have been losing consecutive battles."
Augustus was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that this was really a good angle.
Why didn't you think of this before?
The nearby minister added: "This shows that the gods have not abandoned us, and the Qin people are not invincible."
"I remember that when the Qin people first came to the Kingdom of the Gods, they were defeated one after another. But later, they began to win."
"What does this mean? The meaning is obvious. At the beginning, Anthony was really fighting. Later, they reached some kind of agreement. So Anthony pretended to fail from the beginning."
"Now that we have found the reason, it will be easy to handle. We can kill Anthony with one blow, and then replace him with a general who is good at fighting. This person will lead our soldiers and drive the Qin people out completely."
"At that time, the country of the gods will still be a country favored by the gods."
After hearing this, Augustus nodded with satisfaction, feeling elated.
