She Is Not a Witch

The Gaodan Plain, the fertile wilderness in the middle of the empire, has always been a place where various forces compete for it. After the empire split, it became the front line of the war.

The shouts under the city wall shook the sky, and in the distant positions, a series of cannons spewed out flames, and then the shells flew across the sky with a whistling sound, and hit the city wall.

The sound of musket firing can be heard everywhere, and occasionally the sound of the bed crossbow on the top of the tower being twisted and wound can be heard. Although the times are advancing, some of the past facilities have not been completely abandoned.

The tense crossbow strings flicked, and the huge crossbow bolts with thick arms shot down the city wall. The soldiers who were about to approach the city wall pierced through, bringing up a piece of stumped limbs and arms, and the sound of screaming and crying echoed on the battlefield.

After paying a certain amount of casualties, the army of the Western Empire gradually approached the city wall, while the army of the Eastern Empire on the top of the city was also damaged a lot, and the voice of counterattack also became weaker.

"Damn it." The commander with the saber in his hand spat blood on the tower, then frowned, watching the increasingly unfavorable situation below.

"Boom—"

A few more shells landed in the city, knocking down the towering shooting tower, scattered bricks and stones, and some soldiers also fell from high altitude, and were buried by falling rubble.

After dispelling the shooting towers that were more threatening, a griffin team rose from the rear of the Western Empire. They swooped down with the 'Thunder Flame Arrow' and further broke through the gap in the city wall, and the army began to surge like a tide. Into the city.

Not long after, this fortress on the Gaodan Plain fell into the hands of the Western Empire, and a flag of platinum griffins and white roses rose from the ruins and black smoke on the city wall, which was also a new coat of arms representing the Western Empire.

Two days later, New Rose Castle in the Eastern Empire.

Queen Evelyn was still sitting on the high-backed throne, and the two sides in front of her were full of nobles and courtiers.

A courier reported urgently in the hall with the military information. After learning that the Iron Fish Fortress on the Gaodan Plain had fallen, everyone began to discuss for a while.

"In other words, in just one week, the Western Empire pulled out three of our fortresses on the Gaodan Plain, and the remaining two fortresses are also in jeopardy?" Evelyn's face was slightly cold, and she seemed a little unhappy.

"Your Majesty, please calm down for the time being." An old man in a bachelor's robe stood up and appeased everyone in the hall first, and then he continued to speak after seeing the silence.

"The Gaodan Plain is a fertile land in the empire, an important grain-producing area, and the core territory of the former royal family. We cannot give it up easily."

After this sentence was finished, many people below echoed it, and soon some people began to propose it.

"I am willing to lead the family's army to support the fortress on the Gaodan Plain." A middle-aged nobleman in a dark red dress came out.

"It's Earl Shane." Many people recognized the nobleman who spoke.

As one of the blood-sworn families who swore to protect the royal family in the past, it is not surprising that Earl Shane took the initiative. Under his leadership, some other nobles also began to respond.

In the end, when it came time to decide on the commander of the support team, although several nobles had some ideas, they did not speak immediately at this time, but waited quietly for the queen to speak.

Evelyn was sitting on the throne in a bright red dress with gold trim, her eyes swept across the audience, and then she raised her arms. Snow-white wrists protruded from the red satin cuffs, pointing at the two people below.

"This time the team will be led by Earl Sean, with Baron Dick as the deputy commander and mentor, and Sir Saran, Sir Feder, and Sir Lucy as the commander and staff officer of the detachment respectively."

After pointing out the main personnel for this support, Evelyn turned her gaze to the other side, where stood several people in white and blue dresses, they were representatives of the Landsworth family.

"The Landsworth family will also send at least 50,000 troops to assist this time."

"Yes, Your Majesty the Empress." According to the tacit agreement in the past, mobilizing 50,000 people to support the front line is within their permission, and they will not refute this kind of matter.

Afterwards, Earl Shane began to take the lead in the following detailed arrangements. After discussing other unimportant matters, the imperial meeting came to an end.

After leaving the hall and walking through the corridors in the castle, Evelyn returned to her bedroom.

After closing the door, she sat in front of the vanity mirror and closed her eyes for a few minutes, then opened her eyes, and sure enough, she saw the figure sitting by the window.

"You know the news from the front line, right?"

"Well, not much faster than you." Rock replied.

"Then it seems that they did a good job and didn't waste any time." Evelyn knew very well about the intelligence organization in Rock's hands.

Ever since Elio disappeared in Titania, Dark Moon, who was loyal to the royal family, was hit hard. Many core personnel disappeared in the imperial capital. Afterwards, this man found an opportunity to take over the dark moon in the dark part of the empire. A tremendous strength.

"Then, what's the reason? Why has the Western Empire suddenly become so powerful, and hasn't it been able to maintain a balance of power before?" Evelyn raised her head and asked.

"The reason is not complicated, because an old acquaintance of mine took over the position of general." Rock recalled his childhood experience, and marveled at Isaiah's rapid rise.

"Who?" Evelyn suddenly became interested.

"The third son of Baron Burris, Isaiah."

"never heard of that."

"It's normal if you haven't heard of it. He entered Emenas to study in the same year as me. He was also my friend when I was a teenager. You should be in the third grade at that time." Rock briefly introduced.

"Oh, it's been exposed, Mister Assassin, I will be able to find out your specific identity soon based on this information."

Evelyn didn't know where Baron Burris was from, but as long as she knew the name, it would be a breeze to find Rock's past by the way.

"Well, it doesn't matter because my family moved out there long ago."

"Oh, you are really cautious." Evelyn continued to ask.

"Then tell me about that General Isaiah, and see what kind of person your friend is."

"Isaiah..." Rock closed his eyes slightly, and it seemed that the face that made people want to be punched appeared in front of him again.

"A lucky guy," he commented simply.

"Is that all?"

"Yes, although I knew him well when I was a child, I haven't seen him for more than ten years now, and the information from the past is no longer accurate."

"Then tell me about him in the past."

"In the past, he was the third son in the family. He was not ruled by his parents very much. He was very free. He grew up to be okay. He would be silly occasionally. He was very optimistic. He cared about the people around him. He was not bad, but a bit lazy." Rock paused after speaking. After a while, I will add a few words.

"I'm familiar with myself, good at making friends, and know how to please girls."

"These latter points are the ones that Mr. Assassin is jealous of. I think you are cold and indifferent. I guess you were the kind of person who had no friends of the opposite **** when you were in school." Evelyn leaned on the back of the wooden chair, supporting herself with one hand With his head tilted, he looked at the Mr. Assassin not far away, as if he was searching for a time in his memory that he might have seen this man.

"Are you friends of the opposite sex? Indeed, no."

"It's really pitiful. You can think about how monotonous your college career is." After Evelyn said a few words, she seemed to be relieved a lot, and then continued to talk about the business.

"Do you have any good ideas for that General Isaiah?"

"I am not a talent to command the army, nor am I a talented student who graduated from Bridge Pier College. Your Majesty Evelyn, I am afraid you are making things difficult for me."

"Then you don't know a few famous generals? By the way, the former three victorious generals, Darcy, do you know the whereabouts of Severy?"

"Several retired after learning that Queen Lily had left safely. He is a confidant of the Red Queen. He had received the kindness of the Red Queen when he was in the academy, so he would not be trusted by Her Majesty Elio, so he simply Leaving the army."

"I probably know where he lives now, but I won't go to him, because I have talked with him and know that he doesn't want to be involved in the royal family's infighting anymore."

"Well, Queen Lily's confidant." Recalling the inconspicuous little girl in school, and then sitting in the queen's seat, Evelyn also sighed.

The queen who was born as a commoner was able to sit so firmly in that position. Even after Ai Manke died, her position could not be shaken. She was also the student council president of the school back then, so why didn't she have such a genius in her staff?

"As for Darcy, he should still be trapped in the rime-frozen city of Titania. You don't have to think about it. The forest elves tried to enter some time ago, but it still failed and lost a lot of high-level Extraordinary."

"Many of the nobles in the central part of the empire have lost their talents in the constant internal strife, but there were very few interventions in the Eastern Territory before. If you are looking for talents who command the battlefield, I am afraid you have to ask the Landsworth family for help." Luo Luo Ke helped Evelyn analyze.

"I don't want to go. I can't show weakness in front of Landsworth's house." Evelyn directly refused. As an emperor who was supported by others, her power and position were delicate. Once she bowed her head, it would be difficult to maintain it in the future.

The two discussed for a while, during which Evelyn also asked if she could win over the person opposite.

"The possibility is very low. Isaiah cares about his family very much, and her sister's husband is a direct vassal of the Salius family." Rock said that this cannot be done.

"What about the possibility of assassination?"

Rock paused for a while before quietly answering: "You can try."

Seeing the assassin whose breath had turned cold, Evelyn felt a little regretful, as if she shouldn't have made such a suggestion.

"Just try it casually. Don't waste precious manpower. We have little strength on our side." She tried to save it a little.

"I'll go in person." Rock raised his head and took a deep breath.

"No, if you go, what will I do here? In case the Landsworth family sends someone to control me one day, there is no one around me to protect me."

"Sorry, I'm just an assassin, and I'm not good at protecting people." After speaking, he stood up and disappeared on the window sill.

Walking quickly to the window sill, looking at the empty scenery below, Evelyn stroked her forehead, feeling a little lost and empty.

Although this Mr. Assassin swept her over, it wasn't bad. It was because of his existence that he was able to gain some independence from the Landsworth family, so that he would not be completely controlled.

A week later, the 100,000 troops supported by the Eastern Empire set off and caught up with a siege battle in progress. Because they arrived in time, the fortress was able to defend and was not captured by the enemy.

In the next month or so, the two sides fought several times on the border.

Musket line, cannon bombardment, cavalry assault, etc., the two sides tried various tactics. In these rounds of fighting, although the Eastern Empire had a numerical advantage, it still didn't take much advantage.

Seeing that their intentions and command style were about to be seen through and grasped by the opponent, the army of the Eastern Empire became conservative again, sticking to the city and no longer attacking easily.

At the same time, after more than a month, Roque gradually grasped the location and whereabouts of Isaiah.

One night, several high-ranking dark moon assassins broke into the barracks. Although they didn't kill Isaiah, they injured him and slowed down the attack.

Another month later, the recovered Isaiah once again commanded the army to move forward, gradually tearing another hole in the jagged border.

On the battlefield full of gunfire, Isaiah stood on a high platform and watched the battle ahead, but this behavior was assassinated again. A cavalry from the chaotic Middle East Empire rushed into the barracks and went straight to where the general was. Happened at the same time, causing the barracks to be in chaos, with the sound of killing everywhere.

After being supported by several guards and hiding in a safe corner, Isaiah heaved a sigh of relief, but the good times didn't last long. Soon the sound of several blades piercing into the flesh sounded from behind, and several assassins in red approached the general again.

"Stop them!" The sergeant who was the guard yelled, raised the small musket in his hand, and fired one after another, even though he led people to surround Isaiah with a shield.

During the battle, several guards fell one after another, while the remaining three red-clothed assassins were only a few steps away from Isaiah.

Facing the dangerous situation where there was no way to retreat, Isaiah no longer hesitated, drew out the long sword at his waist and clenched it tightly, and began to concentrate on dealing with it. With his own strength of Sequence 6, as long as he is on guard, he will not be killed easily.

"Bang—dang—" There were several gunshots and knives, and two guards and an assassin fell in a pool of blood.

In the end, with the slash of the sword, the remaining guards and assassins also fell one after another.

"Huh, did you survive?" Isaiah gasped slowly while holding the sword, looked at the guards who were still moaning and howling beside him, turned his eyes nervously, and listened to the sound.

Suddenly, another sharp dagger stabbed out from behind him and pierced into his chest, but with the sound of a jingle, a golden shield expanded to temporarily block the attack.

Isaiah, who got the gap, took a few steps, and then looked at the black figure who suddenly appeared behind him.

"Who is it?" He pulled out the gun with his left hand and fired several times, but the bullets were easily cut by the opponent.

Finding that the shooting was ineffective, Isaiah quickly retreated, and then shouted loudly, and many nearby soldiers rushed over immediately.

Seeing that today's assassination was about to fail again, Roque stopped staying and continued to move forward, but was blocked by the golden shield on the other side.

A few seconds passed in an instant, and the soldiers who rushed in quickly protected Isaiah again, and Rock was surrounded by layers of guards.

After confirming that he was safe, Isaiah breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the masked assassin in the field, but soon, his face began to change color.

"It's you, Roque." Even though he hadn't seen him for more than ten years, he still recognized him from those eyes.

The two parties in the arena paused temporarily, the soldiers stared at the powerful assassin nervously and silently, and the other party silently watched Isaiah who was protected by the crowd.

"It's me." Rock didn't hide anymore.

"Why did you appear here? Wait a minute, I probably understand." Isaiah was always so smart, and he thought of many things in an instant.

"I didn't expect it to be you~www.readwn.com~Rock." He was impressed by the other party's boldness.

"I didn't die in your hands. I won another round. After all, we haven't seen each other for many years. I didn't expect to meet again at this time."

"Why did you get involved in this? I remember that you yearned for such a scene when you were young, right?"

"Have you forgotten what you said before, to become a famous, uh, hero." He was going to say the word assassin.

"You will make uncle sad if you do this."

Immediately afterwards, the general seemed to be open to chatting, asking about various things tirelessly.

"You are annoying."

Finally the silent assassin couldn't bear it any longer, and a successful smile appeared on the face of the man opposite.
