Chapter 198: Prisoners of War
When the meeting was over, Gulawang kept Xiang San and specifically explained the purpose of today.
"Grand Duke, you are as majestic as a god today. I can hardly feel the Queen's presence."
Xiang San's words were so blunt that Gulawang's face twitched.
“Why is Marquis Xiang so angry? I am just going through the motions.
Okay, let's get straight to the point.
We asked you to conquer the city of Saqqara in order to eliminate the evils near the Elf Kingdom. Maybe they are the ones responsible for your daughter's disappearance.
This time, the city of Saqqara took advantage of the chaos to launch a surprise attack, but fortunately the royal city was not seriously damaged.
But something more troublesome has already begun to emerge.
Evil life matter has the ability to transform ordinary people. A large number of transformers have appeared in the city, and I also control a large number of soldiers who were infected on the battlefield.
If the deployment had not been changed in time, the number of converters would have been so large that you and I could not imagine.
I really can't spare the time to deal with Saqqara City, so I'll trouble Marquis Xiang to deal with those bastards."
Gulawang's words were rather polite, a departure from his awe-inspiring attitude at the royal court meeting.
Although Xiang San didn't know what the old man was planning, he wanted to go to the city of Sagara because there was a murder case he hadn't helped solve yet.
The children who escaped death at the rocket base in Sumaya still need an explanation.
"Since the Grand Duke has been working so hard for the country, I will take charge of Saqqara City on his behalf.
But the Grand Duke doesn't think that he can conquer Saqqara with just a thousand old and weak captives, does he?
Sure enough, Xiang had regained the Creator System, and Gulawang had already confirmed this judgment in his heart.
The one thousand human soldiers he ordered to be transferred were the remnants of the prisoners captured by the Night Legion when they raided Ye Minghao's troops.
Some of them received informal reforms due to their disabilities, and the mortality rate after the reforms was inexplicably high.
Xiang San didn't realize how ridiculous the idea of leading a thousand sick and disabled soldiers to attack the city was. Can these words be put together?
Gulawang stared at Xiang San's eyes full of contempt and said, "Among my shadow guards, there is a special team, the Class A shadow guards.
They are very powerful in combat and are equipped with the kingdom's strongest super spiritual steel armor.
I will dispatch another 100 Class A Shadow Guards to assist Marquis Xiang and help you capture Saqqara City as soon as possible."
The next day, outside the Elf King City
Xiang San inspected his thousand soldiers, and it had to be said that these thousand people were only a symbolic display at best.
The walls of Saqqara are nearly thirty meters high and are made entirely of special alloys.
With these people carrying some heavy weapons, they can only attack small strongholds at most.
Xiang San looked past these soldiers and turned to look at the one hundred Class A shadow guards who were transferred here. The close-fitting armor made of super spiritual steel covered their entire bodies and stuck to them like a tights. The manufacturing technology was really advanced.
Xiang San was itching to get in touch with them. Fortunately, he would have plenty of opportunities to get in touch with these Class A shadow guards. By then, he could use nano-terminal particles to completely analyze the equipment technology of these shadow guards.
The leader of these one hundred shadow guards was a slightly sturdy man, and his armor was a size larger than that of the other shadow guards.
"Marquis Xiang, your subordinate Yinghu has been assigned by the Duke to await your orders."
"Yes, he has a big build and amazing strength, wow!
His strongest record was knocking an old-fashioned off-road vehicle more than ten meters away with one punch, although his own hand bones were also severely damaged.
Thanks to the Grand Duke's medical team, you have been repaired and reconstructed.
A hybrid of elves and humans. As I recall, the probability of humans and elves having offspring is very low, even more difficult than for the elves themselves to produce offspring.
You are a remarkable existence..."
Xiang San's relaxed tone shocked the shadow guards present.
Everyone's identity and resume do not exist in the Elf Kingdom and are all sealed and secretly archived by the Grand Duke.
It's impossible for anyone to know such details.
"How do you know?"
Shadow Tiger's tone was also quite nervous. Most of the Shadow Guards were pure-blooded elves, with a small number of humans and some half-bloods like him.
This is also one of the reasons why the Shadow Guard does not reveal his true face.
"Hasn't your Lord Duke told you? I know everything.
I even know what each of you ate before you set out. Your Shadow Guards' bodies have been developed with special medicines. A single supplement of nutritious food can sustain your long-term combat capability for two to three months.
No one has any secrets in my fairy kingdom."
Everyone shuddered unconsciously.
"Listen! Shadow Tiger, your first order is to infiltrate the city of Sagara and understand all the defense arrangements.
I have already sent you the timing and details of the infiltration. I already have people in Saqqara. They will assist you."
"Yes, Marquis Xiang!"
The shadow guards who received the order disappeared out of thin air!
However, these shadow guards were still visible to Xiang San, but they could not be observed with the naked eye.
Xiang San turned around and shouted at the remaining soldiers: "Damn it, you are just like a group of quails, listen to my orders!
The highest-ranking officer in the ranks will step out."
Although morale was low, military discipline was still good. Upon hearing Xiang San's order, dozens of officers stood up in unison.
Xiang San asked them to gather around and asked them to introduce their names, positions, ages, etc. one by one.
In fact, these contents are meaningless to Xiang San, but based on sociology and psychology, when contacting new faces, Xiang San, as a leader, must find a way to establish some connections with them.
"Men, do you know what the Grand Duke meant when he threw you captives to me?"
A white officer in a tattered uniform looked at Xiang San and said unconfidently, "He wants us to be cannon fodder to prevent us from dying at his hands and angering King Ye."
Several officers around him nodded in agreement with his opinion.
"Then do you know who I am?"
"Xiang San!"
"Legislature Commander Ye Minghao was once the commander!"
"The Immortal"
Xiang San chuckled: "You're still trying to flatter me at this moment. You all don't know how you're going to die tomorrow, right?"
Everyone kept silent, too embarrassed to look Xiang San in the eye.
"Alright, what's there to be ashamed of? There's nothing shameful about being afraid of death. This time, the Grand Duke has assigned you to assist me in attacking the city of Saqqara.
He wants you to disappear from this world, and he also wants to sow discord between me and that kid Ye Minghao."
"He's dreaming! Prince Ye said he would always be Commander Xiang's most loyal subordinate!"
"Mr. Xiang, this is true. This is absolutely not flattery. King Ye has absolute trust and loyalty to you."
Xiang San believed what these officers said. As for whether Ye Minghao could be as loyal to him as before, only God knew.
Everything will change.
“I believe what you said.
But, if even you understand this, how could Gulawang not understand it? He is disgusting us.
Attack Saqqara, and no matter what the outcome, many of you will die.
It is even possible that the entire army will be destroyed.
If we don't fight, we will be disobeying the orders of the Elf Queen.
You all must die. As a marquis and a close friend of the Queen, this is at most a formal punishment. You will definitely not have a good end.
Your presence has put Wang Ting and Ye Minghao in a very embarrassing situation.
As long as you people exist in this world, you will always remind the royal court that the history between the former queen and Ye Minghao has never disappeared.
I'm afraid this arrangement wasn't just Gulawang's idea, it was also the idea of the important figures in the royal court."
Xiang San's words were like a huge mountain pressing down on their heads, dealing them a heavy psychological blow.
If the previous defeat and capture had destroyed their morale, then Xiang San's words were intended to wipe out their will to survive.
Xiang San saw that these people were disheartened and their faces were twisted with pain, but there was not a ripple in his heart.
Because Xiang San knew that he was helping them, and also helping Ye Minghao and the arrogant people in the royal court.
"I'm saying this to make you see the situation clearly, not to make you lose your will. Lift your heads!"
The last angry rebuke was like a devil's voice piercing their hearts. The thousand confused soldiers were shocked and looked in the direction of Xiang San.
"Commander Xiang, we all listen to you!"
"Only you can save our brothers. We believe that if there is anyone in this world who can save our brothers, it must be Commander Xiang!"
The officers agreed that Xiang San in front of them did not seem to be a human being, but a god.
Xiang San motioned them to come forward, and dozens of officers gathered with Xiang San, shoulders touching, secretly plotting something.
The soldiers behind them looked at each other to ask their comrades what was going on.
Somehow, morale has recovered.
A pack of wolves without a leader is no better than dogs.
Now they have welcomed a legendary commander.
