"How many days is today?"
"The seventh day."
"How many men do we have left?"
"Less than two thousand."
"..."
Less than two thousand, Bianka felt a little amused when she heard that number.
"Sasha, when will our support arrive?"
"Three days."
"Three days?"
Keeping the time of three days in mind, Bianka made up her mind, if she could still return to the imperial capital alive, then she would definitely hang that group of corrupt officials in that palace at the entrance of the imperial city.
Three days, not too long, not too short.
Shakespeare and Bianka both did not continue to discuss this three days, because this so-called three days in the end is true or false, who can say it clearly?
------
Three days later, Bianka was not able to wait for the support she wanted after all, instead, what appeared in front of her was the ferocious attack of the enemy.
The main attack.
After exhausting Bianka's troops, the enemy finally launched a major attack.
Five-digit troops carrying powerful siege implements arrived outside the fortress, as invaders, the enemy didn't mind the casualties, they chose to use the most basic way to break open the fortress that had been blocking them for countless years.
"Get lost !!!!"
Bianka, who was standing on the city wall and holding a cavalry spear, gritted her teeth and picked off an enemy, however, just as this enemy fell off the wall, more enemies climbed up from the ladder to Bianka's face.
It was impossible to kill them all.
The number of enemy troops was almost ten times that of his side.
"The stars, converge here!"
The power of the stars converged in Bianka's hands, and then, a golden dragon sped out from the mounted spear, which swept across the entire city wall, instantly changing the entire battle situation.
However, even with such terrifying power, the enemy would not be afraid.
Regarding Princess Bianka's power, the enemy had long done corresponding investigations, and they had included this powerful warrior in the calculations of both sides' battle power ratios from the very beginning, as well as made corresponding preparations.
The so-called heroes would also get tired.
If ten people couldn't drag Bianka down, then let a hundred come, and if a hundred weren't enough then a thousand.
"Swarm of Stars!"
Just as Bianka was planning to grit her teeth and wield the power of the stars again, an enemy actually chose to charge directly in front of Bianka then hugged her mounted spear.
"?!!!"
He was using his own life to stop Bianka.
And after seeing one of his companions do such a behavior, the other enemies became even more excited as they rushed up one after another, attempting to hold Bianka in the same way.
Bianka who saw this scene suddenly understood why she hadn't guarded the fortress after all.
Because, she wasn't ruthless enough!
Bianka remembered the words that Shakespeare had said to her.
"Bianka, you are not suitable to be a commander-in-chief, you are more suitable to be a vanguard general than a commander-in-chief."
Yes, she really wasn't suited to be a commander-in-chief.
If it was her, she would never give an order for her soldiers to attack the enemy in such a way that could be considered suicidal.
However, it was this way that she wouldn't use that was very effective.
Because of the enemy's entanglement, Bianka had consumed a large amount of physical strength, and now she was even firmly surrounded by the enemy, and the others couldn't even come to support her.
"Ahhhhhh!"
After using all her strength to kick away an enemy soldier who didn't forget to hold her legs before dying, Bianka completely despaired.
It's over ah .....
This battle of defending the city that had lasted for such a long time ended in her defeat after all.
But luckily, Shakespeare should be able to leave safely, right?
Looking at the enemies surrounding her, Bianka gripped the riding spear in her hand with the last of her strength.
Even if she lost the battle, she would stand until the last moment, she was the princess of this country, if this country was doomed to perish, then let her as a princess be the first to die.
"????"
"There are enemies!!!"
"The Great General has been killed."
"Retreat."
"Retreat!"
"Can't retreat, our camp has been sneak attacked by the other side!!!"
Suddenly.
Bianka vaguely heard the wailing of the enemies.
There were enemies? Their commander-in-chief had been killed?
Bianka was a bit in disbelief, was this a hallucination she had before she died?
How could it be possible?
The enemy launched a general attack, and then their Lord Commander was killed while their old home was lost, how could such a thing happen?
"Your Highness Bianka, it's not over yet."
In a trance, Bianka heard someone calling her.
Turning around, the person who appeared behind her was a girl Bianka didn't recognize, a girl with a hood and holding a long sword.
This person, who was it?
Bianka's memory was not bad, but she confirmed that she had never seen this person before.
"Your Highness Bianka, don't get distracted on the battlefield, please also get rid of these enemies first."
Seemingly guessing what Bianka wanted to ask, the girl made an early reply.
Being reminded by the girl, Bianka then reacted to the fact that she was on the battlefield, the battle was not over yet, how could she be distracted?
However the Bianka who reacted immediately realized that something was wrong.
"Not good!"
Since she, as the commander-in-chief, was besieged here, the enemies must have already crashed through the gate and rushed into the fortress.
Thinking of that, Bianka immediately turned around and was about to leave, once the enemies rushed into the fortress, then those murderous demons would slaughter everything in the city.
Gripping the riding spear in her hand tightly, Bianka gritted her teeth and wanted to dart into the city to take a look, however, the battle just now made her consume a large amount of physical strength, and at this moment, she couldn't even stand up steadily.
"Your Highness Bianka, there's no need to rush."
Just as Bianka's heart was burning with anxiety, the girl who had just appeared suddenly reached out and supported Bianka.
No need to be anxious?
How could she not be anxious?
"Your Highness, look over there."
Helping Bianka to the edge of the city wall, the girl smiled and pointed to the location outside the fortress where the main battlefield was located.
While looking along the location the girl pointed to, Bianka saw a scene that made her dream of never seeing.
In the middle of the battlefield, a man holding a long sword was firmly surrounded by enemies at this moment, the man's eyes were tightly closed, his movements were extremely fast, and every time he struck his sword, he would take away the lives of several enemies.
Unlike Bianka's wide-open mounted spear technique, the man's swordsmanship was more akin to a killing technique.
As the hand rose and the sword fell, the several money enemies surrounding the man were even falling at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"This kind of technique ..."
"This kind of technique, it doesn't feel like he's surrounded by enemies, but he's surrounded them alone, right?"
Without waiting for Bianka to finish, the girl standing beside Bianka took over Bianka's words.
"By the way, Your Highness Bianka, I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Schrödinger, I'm Lewis' second disciple."
Lewis' second disciple?
Hearing this identity, Bianka instantly thought of a certain man who had once run after Lewis.
"You are Lewis's disciple, then he is?!!!!"
Because of the distance, Bianka did not see the face of the man in the middle of the battlefield, but at this moment, after learning about Schrödinger's identity, the identity of the man in the battlefield naturally came out.
"He is Lu Yu?!"
"Yes, the person killing the enemy on the battlefield at this moment is none other than Senior Brother."
"No, I have to go and help him!"
After hearing that the man was Lu Yu, Bianka braced herself and was going to support Lu Yu, in Bianka's opinion, even though Lu Yu was already a supreme powerhouse, how could he manage to retreat in one piece in the face of thousands of enemies?
Just as Bianka was about to go and help Lu Yu retreat from the enemy, suddenly, Schrödinger pulled Bianka back.
"Your Highness Bianka, as a woman, this is the time to watch."
Saying such words, Schrödinger's line of sight converged on Lu Yu who was standing on the battlefield and was currently fighting one against a thousand.
"Watch well, this is his power!"
Many years later, someone named this war as the origin of everything.
The reason why it was named so was because this war was the true beginning.
In this war, Lu Yu killed the enemy's fleeing 3,500 soldiers by himself, such a horrific battle record could be said to be unprecedented and unrivaled.
And also from today onwards, this country has officially blown the horn of counterattack.
Any destiny, no matter how complex and long, will only react in a single moment, and that is the moment when people completely wake up to who they really are.
Bianka wasn't sure how Lu Yu had come through all these years, but she knew that to get to this point, Lu Yu had paid ten times, a hundred times more than any other person would have paid.
No one would have thought that the war would end in this way.
When Bianka and Shakespeare stood in front of Lu Yu again, the two girls were completely stunned.
The teenager who had once amazed the entire imperial capital with his looks in their memories had completely changed his appearance, and the gorgeous nobleman's clothing on his body had long since ceased to exist, and in its place was a black leather jacket, which at this moment had been dyed a bewitching red with blood.
Of course, what really surprised Shakespeare as well as Bianka was not what Lu Yu was wearing, but his person.
What did it look like for a person to have wounds patched up all over his body?
It wasn't that Shakespeare and Bianka hadn't seen people covered in wounds before, after all, on the battlefield, such soldiers were very common.
However, the wounds on Lu Yu's body were different from those they had seen.
If they had to describe it, then the wounds on Lu Yu's body should be like a tower of existence, with one hideous wound superimposed on every part of Lu Yu's body like a spider web.
Forehead, mouth corner, jaw, arm ...
Apart from the face, which had no obvious wounds, all the other parts visible to the naked eye were covered with countless wounds.
It was thought that for a blind man, the face where the eyes were located should be the most sensitive location, that was why Lu Yu's face was better protected, while other locations besides the face, that was another story.
Just how many battles did one have to go through in order to make that once talented young man turn into this appearance today?
Bianka and Shakespeare didn't know.
But the only thing they knew was that Lu Yu must have experienced many, many things to get to this point.
Low points, uncertainties, struggles, and questions.
How much does a blind man have to give to be like Lu Yu?
Ten years, 3,650 days ago, the genius boy lost his eyesight, and today, ten years later, Lu Yu announced his return to everyone.
"Senior brother."
Seeing Lu Yu walk over, Schrodinger immediately stood behind Lu Yu.
"How's the situation?"
Lu Yu was not clear about Bianka's situation, it was one thing for him to be very capable of fighting, but blind is blind, and the blind Lu Yu naturally did not know how Bianka's rescue was going.
"His Highness Bianka is safe and sound."
"Really, that's good."
Hearing Schrodinger's words, Lu Yu nodded.
"By the way, Senior Brother, His Highness Bianka is walking towards you."
"Huh?"
Lu Yu had thought that Bianka had gone back to the barracks to count the casualties, but he didn't realize that she was actually in front of him?
"Lu, Lu Yu?"
Walking up to Lu Yu's body, Bianka looked at this man who was already a head taller than her, and she couldn't help but reach out and touch Lu Yu's face.
"Your Highness, long time no see."
Without dodging Bianka's outstretched hands, Lu Yu responded to Bianka with a smile.
Struggling on the line of life and death a moment before, Bianka had experienced a battle that could be considered thrilling, and it was only natural for the current Bianka to be emotionally unstable.
Carefully touching Lu Yu's face, Bianka's voice trembled a little.
"Lu Yu, you ..."
Before the follow-up words were finished, Bianka suddenly fainted with her eyes blackened.
Smoothly catching Bianka, who had fallen into his arms, Lu Yu reached out his hand and touched Bianka between her noses.
After confirming that there was nothing serious about the girl, Lu Yu handed Bianka over to Schrödinger.
"She should be too tired, get her a room to rest."
"Good."
"Senior brother, what do we do next?"
"Next?"
Hearing Schrödinger ask this, Lu Yu smiled.
"Next, it's time to beat up the dogs."
[After killing all of the enemy's fleeing soldiers, you completely blew the horn for a counterattack.]
[Although there are only five hundred men, each of these five hundred mercenaries are experts, and together with the already existing strength of Bianka's men in the fortress, at this point, you have close to two thousand troops in your hands.]
[Two thousand soldiers, not much, but enough.]
[Besides, the news of your victory will soon be sent back to the Imperial Capital, and after receiving this news, as long as you have the will to continue the attack, the group of ministers in the Palace will definitely be willing to give you more support.]
[After all, compared to a small amount of payment, the incorporation of a new country into their country's territory is clearly more worthy of their cheers.]
[A larger territory means more income and more territory, even the wolves understand that, so you won't have to worry about a lack of troops.]
