Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 764 - 765: (Shuoyue)

Faced with his brother’s scolding, Eldric didn’t dare to say more, only dejectedly lowering his head.

Seeing this,

After taking a few deep breaths to calm down, Amon couldn’t help but fix his gaze on the information soldier and sternly asked, "Although the troops were dispatched to the north, there are still 300,000 stationed at the border! 300,000! In addition, the Sadik Royal Family’s troops are also helping to watch the Black Rose family. What on earth is General Barov doing? How could they be killed and allow the Fortress to be occupied in less than 12 hours?! Is the southern expeditionary force just for show?!"

Having lost his usual demeanor, Amon angrily questioned the terrified scout in front of him.

"I’m sorry, Your Highness! Our general really did his best, but we couldn’t fight at all! Those so-called Sadik Imperial troops that were supposed to help us suppress the Black Rose family directly turned their spears against us on the battlefield! We not only had to face hundreds of thousands of Black Rose family members but also the Sadik Empire’s million-strong army. We were completely outmatched!"

"What did you say?!"

Upon hearing this, Amon was stunned for a moment. He had guessed that the Sadik Royal Family would hesitate to join the Holy War, but to mobilize their entire nation to aid the Black Rose’s attack? This was completely beyond Amon’s expectations.

After all, if the Sadik Royal Family had any conscience, they wouldn’t be aiding the Black Rose and helping those who had allied themselves with the Abyssal demons...

’Wait a minute?!’

In an instant, Amon’s eyes narrowed as if he had realized something.

’Could it be that the Black Rose’s power had already infiltrated the Sadik Royal Family?’

’All these years of skirmishes, were they just to numb us and make us misjudge the relationship between the Sadik Royal Family and the Black Rose?!’

"Damn it!"

Although it was unclear why the Sadik Royal Family would ignore the risk of being enemy of the entire continent and aid the Black Rose family, Amon had already confirmed this suspicion in his heart.

Feeling deep regret for his own and the entire Red Leaf high-level misjudgment.

However,

Regret and at the same time, Amon’s brow was tightly locked, and he bit his lip hard.

In the next moment,

The anxious Second Prince rushed directly to the scout and pulled him hard from the ground, "Impossible! Even with the help of the Sadik army, the border defense line cannot be guarded. But with Frost Ridge Fortress as the center, the White Gold defense line is absolutely perfect! Even with only 100,000 people, but the equipment and magic array deployed there can resist the entire national forces of Sadik for several days! Holding on until reinforcements arrive is completely no problem! How could it be possible to say no? ! Could it be... you generals, have also betrayed the country?!"

Facing the suspicion of Prince Amon, the little soldier was extremely frightened and shook his head frantically: "No, no! General Barov did not betray the country, we also did our best. Who knew that the Ghostly Flame mercenaries rebelled at a critical moment! They forced the closure of the defense system, which led to the Black Rose’s troops breaking into the fortress."

"What did you say?!"

These words were like a bolt from the blue, instantly shocking Amon, whose face was stunned and could not come to his senses for a long time.

"Ghost, Ghostly Flame Mercenary? Those guys, have they also betrayed us?"

...

At the same time,

Inside the Frost Ridge Fortress , after a fierce massacre, the 50,000 Red Leaf Army guarding the headquarters of the fortress had been completely annihilated. This fortress, which had been hated by the people of the Sadik Empire for hundreds of years, at this moment, had completely fallen into the hands of the Sadik Empire, or rather, into the hands of the Black Rose family.

As the commander of the Red Leaf Empire’s Southern Army, Barov, the head general, was ultimately defeated after a desperate resistance and was disabled by having his hands cut off and his tendons removed.

Amidst the mocking and mad laughter, Barov was pressed down by the Ghostly Flame Mercenary in the center of the square and forced to kneel on the ground.

Looking at the nearby mountains of corpses and seas of blood, gazing at those familiar faces that had lost their lives, feeling the smell of blood permeating the air, and the endless screams of begging for mercy, Barov unknowingly bit his lips tightly, his brown eyes filled with anger, unwillingness, and humiliation.

Even now, he still could not accept the fact that the fortress had been breached.

This Frost Ridge Fortress , the White Gold Line, had been as solid as gold under his management for decades! How could it be possible...that it was so mysteriously breached today?! Just a moment ago, it was still withstanding the Black Rose’s magical bombardment that covered the sky and blotted out the sun, how could the defense line be broken in the next moment?!

’It’s all because of these traitors!’

The angry Barov suddenly raised his head and stared at the crowd of people wearing blood-red armor and exuding an evil aura around him with hateful eyes. If looks could kill, these members of the Ghostly Flame Mercenary would have been skinned alive by Barov thousands of times.

A boundless hatred gushed out from his eyes like a spring.

"You traitors! Betrayers of humanity! You will all receive divine punishment one day!"

Barov roared angrily at the people around him, not only at the Ghostly Flame Mercenary but also at the Black Rose family.

Unfortunately, his roar had no effect, the Black Rose family ignored his words and continued to silently clean up the battlefield, preparing for the next battle. The members of the Ghostly Flame Mercenary all looked at Barov with mocking eyes, and the sounds of contempt and ridicule were unending in his ears.

At this moment, Barov also noticed the black figure approaching in the distance.

The handsome man walking towards him was all too familiar to Barov. He was the head of the Black Rose family, who had crossed paths with him several times, Xiao-Black Rose.

’He is here?’

’He must be after the information about the holy war?’

’Trying to figure out the deployment of the imperial army and prepare for the subsequent invasion?!’

’Hmph!’

’You scumbag, don’t even think about getting a single word out of me!’

Facing the enemy who was approaching him step by step, Barov revealed a firm and resolute gaze, and spat disdainfully, "Ah! You think I’ll tell you...?! What?!"

However, before he finished speaking,

A cold light flashed in front of him,

Under Barov’s bewildered gaze, Xiao had already grasped a sharp long sword in his hand at some point.

In the next instant,

Barov’s head was severed from his neck and rolled directly onto the ground. As his consciousness faded, he heard Xiao’s voice full of disdain and contempt.

"I know you won’t talk."

Knowing the other party’s character, Xiao didn’t waste time thinking and directly killed Barov with one sword, which could be considered giving this brave general a decent death.

Moreover,

Information?

The Black Rose family had long investigated it thoroughly, and there was no need to ask.

They even knew the color of your commander-in-chief’s underwear, do they need to ask you?

... ...

After kicking away Barov’s head and returning the long sword to his subordinate, Xiao stepped on the ground stained with blood and walked step by step to the other end of the Frost Ridge Fortress . In front of him was the vast central plain of the Red Leaf Empire. Facing the chilling wind, he looked towards the north where Anvika was located, and a black light flashed in his eyes.

"Miss Shuoyue, it’s time for you to make your move."
