The Peaceful Liberation of the Northern Alliance (7)

To Old Suo's surprise, there were no guards at the city gate; the gate was only slightly ajar. Thus, the ' Azure Elephant Legion ' entered the city without any hindrance.

"Hey kid, have we come to the wrong place? There's not a single guard here!"

Upon hearing the Emerald Dragon's question, Old Suo had the same feeling, but the sounds of battle not far away made him realize that he and his companions had not gone to the wrong place; they had simply chosen this undefended time to enter the city.

After clarifying his thoughts, Old Suo put aside his confusion and then issued new combat orders to everyone.

"Old Man Woodman, you immediately lead your men to take control of the defenses of Auriel City and cut off the enemy's aid routes."

"I see!"

"Old man Gilkunis, you take your men and come with me to wipe out the resistance forces in the city."

"Okay!"

After saying this, Old Suo and his men split into two groups and began their operation to take control of Auriel City.

Upon receiving Talleyrand's distress signal, the third squad, which was already heading towards the scene, immediately accelerated. Thus, just as Talleyrand was about to be captured alive by the Royal Army, they appeared in time, repelled the Royal Army, and brought the situation to a stalemate once again.

However, Talleyrand's side was ultimately at a disadvantage, so after a period of attrition, the balance of victory tilted back towards Pallet's side.

"Talleyrand, surrender obediently, and I might leave you a whole corpse and spare your family; otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!" (Pallet)

"Ha! Your Majesty, do you think I would still believe your words under these circumstances? (Talleyrand)"

"Fine! Since you insist on this, then don't blame me for disregarding our past relationship!" (Pallet)

"The Imperial Guard is launching a full-scale attack to annihilate the Rebel Army as quickly as possible!" (Pallet)

"Yes!"

With His Majesty the King's orders, the Royal Guard's offensive intensified, making the situation for Talleyrand and his men even more precarious.

"Your Majesty, Talleyrand and his men are already at their wits' end. Why are you in such a hurry?" (Lier)

Upon hearing the Defense Minister's words, Pallet turned his head and asked softly, "Lier, didn't you notice anything amiss?"

"Something's not right? Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

"I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong, but I have this inexplicable unease in my heart."

Just as the Defense Minister was about to offer some words of comfort, a soldier in red armor rushed over.

"Your Majesty, the White Gull Legion has entered Auriel City through the west gate and is currently on its way to the Prime Minister's residence."

Upon hearing the report, Pallet nodded and then said, "Bai Ou has arrived, but where is Azure Elephant? Where are the Azure Elephant Legion members?"

Just as the red-armored soldiers were about to answer, and had not yet seen the Azure Elephant Legion, a group of soldiers dressed in Azure Elephant uniforms appeared at the other end of the street.

"Your Majesty, the Azure Elephant Legion has arrived!" (Lier)

Upon hearing the Defense Minister's call, Pallet immediately looked towards the other end of the street.

"Phew! That scared me to death! I thought something had happened to them!" (Pallet)

The moment His Majesty the King finished speaking, the ' Azure Elephant Legion ', having noticed the situation, rushed over to provide support.

Just as the wrinkles on Talleyrand's brow and the joy on His Majesty the King's face had not yet solidified, things took an unexpected turn.

"Whoosh!"

"Boom!"

One magical attack after another, one sharp arrow after another, ripped through the air and struck the Royal Army, tearing a gaping hole in their impenetrable encirclement.

Although Talleyrand didn't understand why the other side was helping him, he wouldn't waste the precious opportunity to break through. So he immediately ordered his men to rush out through the gap and join up with the other side.

Seeing that Talleyrand had escaped and that his own side had suffered heavy losses, Pallet roared angrily, "Bastards, what are you doing!"

Not long after His Majesty the King finished speaking, a magnetic voice rang out from the Azure Elephant Legion.

"My mission is naturally to rescue my allies and take over the Auriel City!"

Upon hearing the other party's self-identification, Pallet felt a chill run down his spine, and the rescued Talleyrand was in a similar state.

"King Erus?"

After Pallet asked his question with a look of surprise and doubt, a bluish-white windship appeared above the Azure Elephant Legion. A silver-haired boy on the bow of the ship laughed and said, "Hehe! King Auriel, how are you!"

Upon seeing the face that was indeed the one in the file, Pallet felt a mix of excitement and fear, along with a strange sense of relief.

"Ha ha"

"Ha ha"

Looking at the maniacally laughing Pallet, Old Suo asked in bewilderment, "What? Do I look so funny?"

Upon hearing Old Suo's words, Pallet stopped laughing and replied, "No! Your appearance is not funny, it's just your audacity and arrogance that make me so angry I want to laugh!"

"Oh? How come I didn't know I had these two laughable things on me?"

Seeing that someone was pretending to be stupid, Pallet didn't hide it and directly said what was on his mind.

"Hmph! King Erus, I admit your Heavenly King Guard is very strong, and no army in our country can match it, but that doesn't mean our country is incapable of annihilating them. Now you are deep in enemy territory, do you think I would give you a chance to leave?"

As a cultured king, Old Suo did not lose his composure in public because the other party's words were funny. Instead, he used his own strength to show the other party how absurd his conclusion was.

"Hehe! Since King Auriel is so confident, let's let the facts prove your point!"

After speaking, the blue-white windboat landed, and Old Suo disappeared back into the army.

"Attack! (Old Suo)"

"Attack! (Pallet)"

With the orders issued by both leaders, the great battle resumed... oops, sorry, slip of the tongue! A one-sided massacre began!

As they gazed at the Imperial Guard, which seemed to Dissolution of snow, the surviving members of the Talleyrand swallowed hard.

"As expected of the world-renowned Heavenly King Guard, they are truly formidable!" (Talleyrand)

"Master, what should we do next?" (Black Iron Mask)

Upon hearing his subordinate's question, Talleyrand pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's go back to the Prime Minister's residence and meet up with Cai Si and the others!"

"Brother, won't what we're doing anger King Erus?" (Tak)

After Tak finished speaking, Talleyrand shook his head with a wry smile.

"Tak, do you think that person would care about the fate of a few losers?"

"This..."

Faced with the Prime Minister's question, Tak was speechless for a moment.

"Master, are we just going to run away from Auriel like this?"

"Escape? Why should we escape? And do you think we can escape now? (Talleyrand)"

"But we've run out of leverage. What good will surrendering do us?" (Tak)

"That's why I'm taking you back to the Prime Minister's residence to join Cai Si and the others, and to find new bargaining chips!" (Talleyrand)

"Master, you mean... to nip it in the bud?"

After the Black Iron Mask finished speaking, Talleyrand gave a knowing smile.

"Ha! How clever! (Talleyrand)"

"Lieutenant! (Hadessta)"

"Arrive!"

How far are we from Auriel City?

"Reporting to the Heavenly King, after passing through the town ahead, we will reach the Auriel City in about a hundred miles!"

Hearing his adjutant's reply, Hadessta nodded and then ordered, "Instruct the troops to speed up and reach Auriel City by this evening!"

"Yes!"

Meanwhile, three other Heavenly King Guard were also rapidly approaching the Auriel City.

On the main street leading to the Prime Minister's residence in Auriel City

"Your Majesty, a group of Auriel soldiers dressed in white uniforms has appeared ahead!"

Upon hearing his subordinate's report, Gilkunis halted the rear guard and, together with the soldier who had come to report, rushed to the reconnaissance location.

Where is the enemy?

Hearing the voice behind him, the soldier keeping watch saluted, then pointed ahead and whispered, "Your Majesty, look, it's right there!"

Following the direction the other party pointed, Gilkunis indeed saw a troop of soldiers slowly marching forward.

"Hmph! Just what I wanted has come to pass. Perfect, I can use you guys to relieve my itching hands."

After muttering to himself, Gilkunis leaned close to the ear of the soldier who had brought him and whispered, "Immediately give the order to wipe out this enemy force!"

"Yes!"

A moment later, the Auriel army, dressed in white uniforms, entered the pocket, and Gilkunis immediately gave the order to attack. Thus, these drowsy white seagulls, like the unfortunate Azure Elephant before them, became part of the Old Hunters ' trophies.

"Master, listen, there's movement!" (Black Iron Mask)

Even without the Black Iron Mask's reminder, Talleyrand and the others had already sensed something was wrong, because anyone with normal hearing could hear the bursts of explosions coming from ahead.

"Let's go take a look!" (Talleyrand)

As soon as the Prime Minister finished speaking, the group immediately crept up to him.

"Master, it's the White Gull Legion and the Azure Elephant Legion! (Black Iron Mask)"

"No! It should be the Heavenly King Guard wiping out the White Gull Legion! (Talleyrand)"

"That's right. Judging from what just happened, the Azure Elephant Legion should have been wiped out by the Heavenly King Guard. The current Azure Elephant Legion is probably the Heavenly King Guard in disguise. (Tak)"

"But how did they end up fighting here? (Black Iron Mask)"

"I overheard Lier reporting to Pallet that the White Gull Legion was heading towards the Prime Minister's residence. They were probably stopped by the Heavenly King Guard just as they reached this point." (Tak)

"So that's how it is! (Prime Minister, Black Iron Mask)"

"Master, this is a problem! Our only way out is blocked, and we can't go back!"

"Hmph! Since the existing path is impassable, then we'll build one!"

Upon hearing Talleyrand's words, the crowd stared at each other in bewilderment for a moment, then looked at the Prime Minister with suspicion.

Seeing this, Talleyrand smiled and then waved to the crowd.

After everyone crowded around, Talleyrand whispered, "We'll do this and then this and that."

"Oh!"

After hearing the Prime Minister's words, everyone exclaimed in sudden realization and then went to make their own preparations.
