Twins and Ex-wife

Chapter 1444 Side Story of Jaden, Kieran and Freya at risk

When the army led by Sethaden and the three generals was thirty miles away from the border city, the

spies suddenly came to report that a troop had appeared to the south of the border city.

A rough estimate is that there were about 100,000 troops.

The scout under the three generals was first class and he had already found out where the troops were

coming from.

That army was the army of the Nanyi State.

Nanyi is also a small southern state adjacent to Nanzhao, and its power is simply not comparable to

that of Great Wei, but unlike Nanzhao, which has befriended Great Wei for generations, Nanyi has

always been ambitious.

Ten years ago, Nanyi once stirred up trouble along the southern coast, and Kieran led the Fitzgerald's

army to quell it. So they retreated from the border and never disturbed the peace of Great Wei again.

But this time, the army of the Nanyi State rushed to the border city because an agreement had been

reached with the Emperor Wei.

The Great Wei promised that if Nanyi could assist the Great Wei in destroying the Fitzgerald army, all

five cities along the southern coast would be in the possession of Nanyi.

"Crazy! Crazy!" Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Hearing the news from the scouts, General Lowe was so angry that he stabbed his sword on the

ground, dust flying.

"This self-indulgent ruler is trying to give our Great Wei away to someone else! We had a hard time

expelling Nanyi from our Great Wei borders ten years ago, and now this ruler wants to give away five

cities along the coast!"

"In order to exterminate his people, he has gone to the lengths of ceding land to lure invaders into our

Great Wei! When I help General Fitzgerald expel the Huns from the country, I will go and cut off the

head of that dim-witted ruler! Does he know how many innocent people will be killed and how many

more will be displaced and lose their homes?"

"Foolish ruler! What a faint-hearted ruler!" General Lee also sighed in anger, "It's ridiculous that we are

loyal to such a dim ruler. If it wasn't for General Sethaden informing us of the battle in the border city

this time, I'm afraid we would still be aiding and abetting the enemy in Pingcheng!"

General Moore waved his spear in his hand, "This time, even if we leave our lives on the frontier, we

will definitely not let the Emperor Wei's plot succeed!"

The war horse Rachel rode was right beside Sethaden, and she heard all the words reported by the

spies.

She was also taken aback by the behaviour of the Emperor of Great Wei.

It was the first time in her life that she had heard of a lord of a country giving up his country's cities to

foreign invaders in order to brutalise the loyal.

In this way, her father was much more noble than even the Great Emperor Wei.

Rachel knew that the person who was most worried at this time was definitely Sethaden, whose

parents, younger siblings, many friends and relatives, as well as the 300,000 troops of the Fitzgerald

family who had fought together to kill the enemy, were all at the frontier, their lives hanging in the

balance, and he must be thinking about their safety all the time.

"Sethaden, don't worry, the Fitzgerald army are all great heroes, they will be fine."

"Yeah, they'll be fine." Sethaden replied softly, as if he was speaking to Rachel, in fact, it was more like

he was telling him himself.

Originally, 650,000 troops against 300,000 Fitzgerald army, Fitzgerald army was already carrying a

heavy load, now with 100,000 more soldiers from Nanyi, he was really worried that Kieran and the

others would not be able to support them.

Sethaden heavily closed his eyes and slowly opened them again, his once dark and cold eyes were

streaked with red blood, and he tilted his face up as if silently questioning God.

The faint-hearted ruler has no sense of justice, does he not know that the people suffer when he rises,

and when he falls, they suffer.

When he thought of the bloodshed in Feng Ming Valley, and his men fell down with wounds all over

their bodies, Sethaden only felt chills all over his body. The sun was warm in the sky, but his body was

covered with a thick layer of ice.

"Sethaden, I'll stay with you!"

A hand, clutching his large hand, intertwined with his fingers.

"Sethaden, no matter what happens, I will be there for you."

Sethaden did not say anything, but he felt that, being clutched by this hand, the coolness in his body

was dispelled, little by little, and in his heart was warm again.

It was as if, as long as she was there for him, everything would really be okay.

Sethaden was really badly injured this time, even if Freya treated him, he would still have to recuperate

for half a month, but the effects of the Peacock flower were so miraculous that after he took it twice

more on the way, he could no longer feel any discomfort in his body.

Sethaden really could not put on his wings and fly to Pingcheng immediately to help Kieran.

But in modern times, 30 miles is just a ten-minute drive, whereas in ancient times, when transport was

backward, a march would have taken nearly half a day.

Besides, the soldiers had to rest, and if they had gone on without sleep for the two-day journey, they

would have collapsed from exhaustion just before they reached the border.

During the rest of the journey, spies kept reporting that the Huns were attacking the city from the front,

and that Nanyi were trying to enter from behind Pingcheng, and that the Fitzgerald army was split up in

many places, their forces were badly scattered, and in every place, they were outnumbered.

The only good news was that after Xander and the others took the initiative to open the gates to meet

the enemy, Kieran actually killed the first wave of Huns attacking the city, leaving almost no survivors,

and re-closed the gates.

But the second wave of Huns soldiers had already rushed up, and the attack was becoming more and

more fierce. The gates of the border city were already shaking, and even if Kieran led his troops to

defend it to the death, he would not be able to hold on for long.

Soon, another spy came to report that even though the Fitzgerald army was outnumbered and brave,

they were outnumbered in the end.

The gates of Pingcheng had been breached by the Huns, and Xander had hidden his troops so that

everyone thought he was leading an army of 100,000, when in fact, he had brought 200,000 troops to

the border city.

The army led by Xander had already met up with the army of Nanyi, and nearly 300,000 troops were

assembled, ready to deal a fatal blow to the Fitzgerald army.

Listening to the scout's report, Sethaden's face became increasingly grave.

If Xander could hide his troops, Emperor Wei's own troops could naturally hide their strength too.

If the Fitzgerald army had ignored the old, weak, women and children in the city, they might have had a

chance to break out, but it was impossible for the Fitzgerald army to ignore the lives of the people, so

they were hamstrung at every turn and struggled.

After a short rest, the soldiers were actually tired, but hearing that so many troops had laid siege to the

Fitzgerald army, the soldiers were all as beaten up as if they had hastily set up camp to eat some lunch

to satisfy their hunger, and then continued on to border as fast as they could.

Nearly a mile from the border, Sethaden and the others heard the fierce sounds of killing.

Rachel had heard many stories of generals who fought and killed in the sands, but this was the first

time she had ever been in battle.

The smell of blood wafting through the air made her stomach feel sick.

But when she thought of Sethaden's parents and relatives ahead of her, and the brothers he had been

born with, her body was suddenly filled with endless strength again.

He is her man and she will protect him, and she will try to protect the people he cares about.
