The Accusation

Although he was certainly no match for the knight, he hoped that the knight would underestimate him and instead of flee, charge past him to attack, or allow him to get within the spell's range.

However, the enemy did not do as he wished; as soon as they realized someone was chasing them, they immediately turned their horses and fled.

The horse ran a few steps, and suddenly a figure appeared in front of it—who else could it be but Chenghong Moli?

"Stop him!" Xiao Yu roared. The Chenghong Moli used a Possession Spell to enter Olorin's body, but was pushed out almost instantly. It seemed that possession skills were ineffective against this kind of BOSS-level character.

A group of people rushed forward, but two legs can't outrun four. In the end, Xiao Yu could only watch helplessly Olorin disappeared into the mist ahead.

"Sorry, Captain, that guy is too strong; I can't control him."

"It's alright, we still have a chance. By the way, what level is this Olorin?"

Chenghong Moli checked the battle log.

"Level 10 Warrior, Level 5 Imperial Knight - Total Level 15."

Xiao Yu thought to himself, "Level 15? That seems pretty strong. It looks like I can't handle it on my own. I'll have to get help from other NPCs."

"Let's keep going! We must stop Olorin before he kills the Emperor!"

As he spoke, Xiao Yu led his troops onward. Finally, as they passed through the third layer of fog, the central army formation of the Xiao Yu Rhine Empire came into view. On a wide plain, two eerie armies were facing off.

On one side was the elite main force of the Four Kingdoms Allied Forces, and on the other side was the Royal Guard Legion of the Rhine Empire.

The Four Kingdoms Allied Forces had an army of fifty to sixty thousand, while the Imperial Guard, though only numbering thirty thousand, was disciplined, solemn, and its morale was in no way inferior to that of the enemy.

Xiao Yu realized at this moment that the hundred-plus men under his command were just a motley crew, no match for the real elites.

He led his soldiers toward the Rhine Empire's main camp, but before they even got close, a knight charged toward them. The knight, clad in golden armor, abruptly stopped in front of the remnants of the army. "Centurion, take your men and assemble at the rear!"

This centurion clearly refers to Xiao Yu wondered to himself when he had been promoted.

He naturally couldn't leave, so he said in a deep voice, "I have very important military intelligence to report to His Majesty. Please take me to see His Majesty immediately."

The knight sneered, "His Majesty doesn't have time to chat with you! Take your men and assemble at the back. Don't make me remind you what the Rhine Empire's military orders mean." The knight said arrogantly.

Xiao Yu thought to himself, "You've been dead for a hundred years, yet you're still so arrogant." He was too lazy to waste any more words. "Chenghong Moli —Go!"

"Understood," Chenghong Moli Possession the knight with a Possession Spell. This knight was naturally no match for a BOSS-level figure Olorin; he was only an eighth-level knight. Compared to Chenghong Moli, who had already reached level ten, he was still slightly inferior. After struggling for a bit, he was controlled by Chenghong Moli.

Chenghong Moli winked at Xiao Yu, then waved, "Come with me, Centurion, I'll take you to see His Majesty the Emperor."

After saying that, he headed back the way he came, and Xiao Yu followed behind the knight on horseback.

This golden-armored knight was probably one of Emperor Odyssey's guards. They traveled without encountering any obstacles, passing through one army formation after another, and finally arrived at the core area of the army.

A massive, hard-fought battle, on an open field, was fought by Emperor Odyssey and his generals.

At this very moment, Emperor Odyssey is issuing orders to his generals with great enthusiasm.

Xiao Yu recognized Emperor Odyssey at a glance, because his armor was too conspicuous.

He wore a suit of golden armor, with lions and dragons carved on the left and right sides respectively. He wore a crown helmet with a golden visor on the front, which obscured the emperor's face. However, the visor's cold expression added to his majestic aura.

The emperor's voice, even through the mask, sounded unusually majestic.

"Raymonds, you lead the First Legion as the vanguard, engaging the enemy head-on."

Heldras, you lead the Second Legion on the left flank of the defensive army and must hold back the barbarian attack from the Stein Kingdom.

Parites, you will lead the Third Legion to defend the right flank. I will give you the Royal Mage's Staff to help you deal with those rebels from the Mage Alliance.

Olorin, you will be in charge of leading my Imperial Knights to bypass that forest and launch a surprise attack from behind the enemy lines. Beware of the enemy's Mad Lion Knights; although they are few in number, they are said to be extremely elite.

Kurax, you lead the Central Legion and are responsible for the defense of the central army.

Turs, you are in charge of all reserve Legion. If any unit encounters problems, send reinforcements...

Today I will show them that the majesty of the Empire cannot be defiled, and that before the mighty army of the Rhine Empire, even the gods cannot save their lives.

Emperor Odyssey spoke with great confidence, and his many generals responded in unison, all appearing confident and full of morale.

Only after Odyssey finished assigning tasks did Chenghong Moli approach. "Your Majesty," she said, "A centurion has important military intelligence to report to you."

Upon hearing her words, a nearby general immediately shouted, "Insolence! A mere centurion has no right to speak here!"

Emperor Odyssey simply raised his hand slightly. "Don't jump to conclusions, Parites. We should listen to what the soldiers have to say. Centurion, speak now, what do you have to say to me?"

This Odyssey, however, appears to be a wise and benevolent ruler.

Everyone looked at Xiao Yu, with Olorin becoming particularly tense.

"Damn, this is going to be a disaster," Xiao Yu thought. "Should I just say that Olorin is going to betray us? No, based on my experience with typical melodramatic movies and TV shows, saying that would probably have no effect."

You have to understand that Olorin Odyssey's best friend and lieutenant, while he himself is just a minor centurion, so he doesn't seem to have much credibility at all.

On the contrary, it would easily put him in danger. He suddenly remembered the conversation between Olorin and that Mad Lion Knights, and a flash of inspiration struck him. He had an idea!

After carefully considering his words, Xiao Yu said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, on my way to the front lines with my soldiers, I encountered a lone Mad Lion Knights. We captured him and obtained some information from him. It turns out that the despicable Kern Kingdom, in order to achieve victory, actually sent people to capture Olorin's family, wife, and children, and sent them a letter. In this letter, the Kern Kingdom demanded that Olorin betray you, or else they would kill his wife, children, and all his relatives."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent, and the way they looked at Olorin immediately changed.

Xiao Yu inwardly. This outcome was exactly what he had expected, and it was the result of his careful consideration. If he had directly said that Olorin going to betray them, it probably wouldn't have had much effect. No one would have believed him, after all, their relationship and positions were what they were.

However, if he said that the Kern Kingdom wanted to turn Olorin against him, then it would immediately become very credible, because the Kern Kingdom would have a very good reason to do so, and he had no intention of accusing Olorin at all, so the other party would have no reason to take action against him.

Whether Olorin will betray them is not important, because as long as Odyssey discovers this possibility, he will not allow such a hidden danger to remain by his side. Therefore, Xiao Yu is very confident that Olorin will be monitored and controlled, and at least he will not lead troops into battle at this time. Even if Odyssey trusts him, the other generals around Odyssey will also express their opinions, after all, no force is monolithic.
