Chapter 706: 4th Witch

"General."
Alfred bowed to salute, then waited quietly.
The silver-rimmed robe with stars and moons painted on him is like flowing water. Although I am still, if I look closely, the stars on the robe are in a state of slow movement.
He didn't put on the masks used by the wizards to isolate from ordinary people. His face was sharp and carved like a knife, with a kind of indifference and indifference that was not his age.
Alfred, known as the most outstanding genius of the Three Witches in 500 years, reached the deepest level of his mind when he was 18 years old. There are rumors that he had been in a coma for a month. In that month, The soul has been floating in the vast ocean for more than a hundred years, while the flesh has maintained the appearance of twenty years old.
The powerful talent not only gave him a tough spirit far beyond ordinary people, but also a terrible ability to understand. It is said that he is currently the only person in the world that can integrate all schools of witchcraft.
[The Fourth Great Witch] is what people call him. Many wizards believe that in time he will become a great wizard like the three founders of the Three Witch Club, and he will even be able to reopen the era of human witchcraft.
However, one day, Alfred announced his withdrawal from the Three Witches. He declared that the power of the vast ocean is out of control, and the talents of witchcraft are increasing day by day. It is necessary to completely solve this huge threat from top to bottom. .
But he has never specified what the "threat" is.
People only know that he disappeared ten years ago. No one knows where he went, and no one knows what he is doing.
Probably no one could think that he would actually appear in Tyre, next to Eugene.
And it was the other party he took the initiative to find.
"Speak, sir."
The low voice was like the thunder and thunder in the distant sky. Alfred looked up and saw Eushikin standing on the terrace looking at the sunset.
The golden light splashed on every slender tower and every undulating rock wall, dyeing a layer of dazzling and soft amber to shiny metal and smooth marble.
The sight is breathtaking, but the beauty here is by no means flawless. The huge buildings with sharp edges and corners are piled up. The transformed fortresses and turrets are like gray blunt teeth in an angry mouth, and there are a lot of hidden gun holes and A bunker, like a fire-hedgehog, just waits for the moment when it is stimulated and activated.
The former palace has been tightly covered by today's fortress, and this is a brutal barrier set up to resist a deadly enemy.
Tyre originally had a palace built for successive emperors, whose size was no less than that of Cusconal, but now it became the headquarters of Eugene, where he was going to withstand the wave of destruction of Ok.
The wizard knew that the general was disturbed by the empress’s order to build turrets and fortifications in this beautiful palace. Although he could see the majestic beauty of the palace and the barriers, he knew that Eugene was to some extent It is believed that the palace-like battlefield is a loss and abrasion of it.
Since he arrived in Tyre, he often came to this terrace to look at the city walls, and in Alfred's imagination, he was also waiting for the arrival of the human enemy.
After a moment of silence, the wizard cleared his throat.
"General, I received news from the dark line that preparations for all aspects have started and reports on the two incidents of Knight and Yantai have also been confirmed."
"carry on."
"Your order to monitor Nightblade is correct, their activities are becoming more frequent, and they are still transporting a large number of instruments to Tyre."
"when did it happen?"
Eugene did not look at him, but continued to look at the palace.
"Nowadays."
Alfred replied:
"After the meeting, a short telegram was sent outside the city, with a high level of encryption, but it was not impossible to crack."
"No need to try."
Eushikin waved his hand.
"Besides, if it is really cracked, then there will be violations. I am a soldier and will never cross this line... currently not."
"As you wish, general."
The Admiral was silent for a while, and then spoke again.
"That's how things started, sir, do you understand? It's this behavior that puts decay into roots. Warfare is carried out in the shadows, not in the grand, there is no insurmountable bottom line."
He finally glanced at the powerful wizard. Although it was a strange thing that the other party would take the initiative to assist himself, now he does need a powerful wizard.
"And there is no possibility of success."
Behind him, the sun gradually passed below the horizon, and the shadows on the terrace became darker and darker.
"Why?"
But Juskin did not answer him directly.
"There is only one goal worth carrying out on such a large-scale secret operation, it is worth gathering such a team, they intend to behead the white tyrant directly."
Alfred smiled without thinking.
"Won't it benefit us?"
"For people with narrow eyes, this may obviously be the case."
Eugene replied this way.
"But I have personally witnessed the consequences of the assassin's bullets, and I will tell you, Mr. Alfred, that we will definitely defeat Gu Ke... but once he dies of the assassin's means, the consequences will be unimaginable, beyond Our control, and we can't predict who will take over the power, and what terrible revenge they will carry out. As long as Guk is alive, as long as he controls those Oks, we can predict his behavior."
Eugene sighed.
"I might not know him~EbookFREE.me~ He shook his head and said no more.
Alfred listened quietly and nodded.
"So I refused the invitation of the shadow prince, because I knew he couldn't defeat Guk at all, strictly speaking he couldn't defeat the beast in his heart, the beast he had nurtured himself."
"Are you so sure I can do it?"
Eugene shook his head again.
"I am equally afraid of the beast."
"But you can face him, this war must be led by a fearless person in order to win."
"I'm not such a person."
Alfred smiled, instead of continuing this topic, he turned to the assassins again.
"Knight's tragedy should be artificial."
Eugene squeezed his fists tightly, then let go.
"We are imperial soldiers, and we must strictly abide by the imperial laws, and we must have solid evidence."
"So what order do you have, general?"
"Trouble you continue to monitor,"
The Admiral looked up at the sky that gradually fell into the night.
"At present we have to continue to observe and wait."
"General!"
Suddenly, an officer stepped over from behind, his face covered with sweat and a sheet of paper in his hand.
"Say."
"Salt Lake City has fallen, just now!"
"what!?"
Eugene was shocked and quickly grabbed the opponent's hand. Salt Lake City was the last town south of Tyre, and it was also the area where Eugene was demanding strong defense after replacing Tyre Security Command, because the defense outside the city is still there. If it is not fully deployed properly, it will take at least three to five days.
Three to five days is also his time to defend the Salt Lake City. But less than a day after the fall of Yangtai, the city is finished?
