Eagle’s Glory

When Edmund Dantès and his subordinates set sail for Yang Fan in the dark night, Aigron, who was in the tent on the high ground in the distance, was also tossing and turning, waiting for this moment to come.

Tonight is destined to be a fateful night.

Although Chanel took care of him carefully, he couldn't fall asleep, his mind was full of various thoughts, and he couldn't relax, so in the end he simply walked out of the tent, stood on the high ground, far away Look in the direction of the Methorongion Fortress.

Although there was always a bonfire lit by the side, in the dark night, the fortress in the distance was completely blurred. All he could see was a dark night, and he didn't speak, just watched quietly.

If nothing happened until dawn, it meant that Edmund Dantès and his men had failed—either stranded on the voyage across the sandbar, or discovered and annihilated by the defenders.

In either case, it meant that his calculations, and even the hopes of the entire army, were all in vain.

If that's the case, he'll have to admit that he's out of his wits, and then retreat with his frustrated men out of this sad place.

But he could not accept the result - on the one hand he was arrogant and did not allow his statement to be tainted by a mere Metholonghi; The Count of Monte Cristo, who so far has not been freed from the blow of fate, has been reduced to the dust of history.

He firmly believes that his history is still being written, and Edmund Dantes will also be a part of it.

We are already destined to be extraordinary, so how can our destiny draw a rest here? He said to himself again.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Aigron stood there and looked into the distance for a while, as dignified as a stone statue.

Suddenly, though, he felt a little more weight on his shoulders.

He turned his head and found that Chanel was standing beside him, holding a cloak in her hand, which she was about to put on her.

"Your Majesty... It's cold at night in autumn, so you might as well wear this."

Aegron smiled and let Chanel put on a cape for himself, then he asked.

"Why haven't you rested yet?"

"You haven't rested yet, how can I sleep?" Chanel replied as a matter of course. "Since you can't sleep all night here, then I'll stand with you."

Looking at her gentle face, Aegron couldn't help but be moved.

He didn't tell Chanel about Edmund Dantes' actions, so she didn't know why she was so restless, but it didn't matter, she would always be by her side.

"Chanel, if I'm unlucky today, I can only admit defeat and take you away." Aegron looked into the distance, and then said leisurely, "Will you be disappointed in me?"

"Disappointed? How is that possible!" Chanel was shocked, and then immediately shook his head, "Your Majesty, no one admires you more than I do... Because I'm by your side, watching you go from nothing to bringing with you with my own eyes. A large army came here, and made such a prestige, how could I be disappointed with you? Even if you lose because of bad luck, it is common to win or lose, so what can you do with a mere loss? A great man like the late emperor is not a hundred victorious..."

As she said, she hugged the young man, "Don't say a failure, even if you lose everything you have now, even if you are forced to run to the ends of the earth, as long as you survive, as long as you haven't given up on your dreams, then I will forever. By your side, going through fire and water for you, because that's my duty, and because... I love you."

Agron couldn't help laughing.

Although he was restless, but after Chanel's comfort, he suddenly relaxed again.

Yes, there are enough things to win, what is there to fear... Since you can win, you have to afford to lose.

If you get frustrated this time, then go back to recuperate and fight again in the future. What is there to worry about?

Even if his morale was severely damaged, the cronies he had cultivated were still there, the backbone of the organization was still preserved, and Chanel and Teresa would still stay by his side to help him—so, what could he do?

"Very well said, Chanel." Agron said to her with a smile. "I will always remember those words."

Just when he finished speaking, like the light of lightning cutting through the night sky, his eyes instantly lit up.

He subconsciously turned his head to look at Methorongion in the distance, and was stunned to find that it had emerged in the night sky-to be precise, a certain spot in the fortress was suddenly lit up, and then the surrounding area was lit up. The scene emerged from the darkness.

This light is like a torch, but it is much larger than the torch, so that Aegron can see clearly in the distance.

After being stunned for a moment, Aigron suddenly heard a roar in his ear.

He knew what it was - light traveled faster than sound waves, so there was a time lag, and he saw the light first and then heard the explosion.

And this also means that there was a big explosion in the fortress of Methorongi.

They made it!

Aegron was instantly stunned by ecstasy.

After a while, he reacted, and then suddenly hugged Chanel into his arms.

"Chanel, they succeeded! Really succeeded!"

Although he didn't understand what happened, Chanel could roughly guess some clues from the explosion that occurred in the fortress of Methorongion.

"Your Majesty...did you let someone do it?"

"Yes, I sent the Count of Monte Cristo to do it!" replied Aigron, laughing. "He did it beautifully, so beautifully!"

Perhaps because words could not express the excitement at this time, he hugged Chanel tightly, and then kissed her heavily.

Although Chanel was a little caught off guard by her master's actions, of course she didn't have any will to resist. On the contrary, she tried to cooperate with the actions of the young man.

So, against the backdrop of the raging fire in the distant fortress, the two of them kissed ecstatically.

After a while, Aigron finally controlled his emotions and let go of his arms.

"Sorry, Chanel...I'm a little too excited." He said to the maid embarrassedly.

"No, Your Majesty! You just have to be happy, why do you need to apologize to me?" Chanel shook his head with a smile, "I'm very glad that I can share this moment with you!"

Her Royal Highness, although Her Majesty will return to your arms soon, he shared with me his happiest moments, no matter when he was fleeing or now...

Chanel suddenly had a little cosmic delight at Princess Teresa.

Her lips are still a little numb now, and even if Princess Teresa comes to reunite with Her Majesty later, she will not be able to deprive her of these touches.

Of course Aigron didn't know what the maid was thinking. In fact, all his attention had been focused on facing the new situation.

It was as if he had been wound up, although it was already early in the morning, he was full of endless energy.

He walked up to the guards and gave them an order.

"Go quickly and call all the commanders!"

The guards on the sentry did not dare to neglect, and immediately moved around to call the main commanders from their tents.

Some of these people have been awakened by the sound of the explosion, while others are still asleep, but soon, they are all gathered in front of Aegron.

Aegron did not bring them into the camp, but received them where he had just stood.

"Look!" As he said, he pointed to Methorongion in the distance, "the Count of Monte Cristo they have succeeded!"

Even now, the fire in the fortress of Methorongion is still clearly visible, and even the white smoke rising into the sky can be vaguely seen, which is enough to show the huge destruction.

Seeing this situation, these commanders couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Michel Ney took the lead in congratulating Aiglon. "The Count of Monte Cristo is indeed a hero. He has done such an excellent job of completing the task you have given him. He has done a great job."

For a long time, although he respected Edmund Dantes on the surface, in his heart, Michelle Ney still looked down on him a little.

He felt that the earl was neither a descendant of the father of the empire nor a well-known figure, and suddenly he became a favorite of His Majesty's side, and he was even given the title of earl, which was really incomprehensible.

But at this time, he was finally convinced by His Majesty's vision - Edmund Dantes was truly remarkable and worthy of his admiration to be able to accomplish such a heroic feat.

After he took the lead, others also congratulated Aegron.

Aegron stopped them after listening for a while, and went straight to the point. "Now I don't think anyone doubts our way forward? Does anyone want to retreat?"

Sure enough, no one made a sound.

In the past, because the fortress of Methorongion was strong and there was no progress, many people gave up and did not have confidence in victory; but now, if the weapons and food reserves inside have been severely damaged, the situation will be different. .

Even the most pessimistic officer felt at this point that his own victory was in his hands.

"Very good... that means you are all confident." Aegron nodded with satisfaction, "Then starting tomorrow, we will continue to attack, and we will not stop for a moment. We will use up their last reserves and let them bomb. Running out of food, let them all fall into despair! Everyone, victory is close at hand, I hope you must have the courage to take it for me!"

"Yes!" All the officers answered with a bang, and this time they did regain their previous self-confidence.

Next, they stayed up all night, made a new round of attack plan again, and assigned the next deployment sequence. They all firmly believed that the enemy was already crumbling, and they could be completely destroyed as long as they worked harder.

After the meeting, Agron deliberately left Michelle Ney behind.

"Your Majesty, is there anything else you want to explain?" Michelle Ney asked suspiciously.

"Find a few more honest and obedient ones from the prisoners, and ask them to bring my handwritten letter back tomorrow." Aegron ordered in a low voice.

"It's okay, but what are you going to do...?" Michelle Ney asked.

"Persuade to surrender." Aegron replied briefly.

"Persuade to surrender?" Michelle Ney was stunned for a moment, but she didn't feel too surprised. "Okay...then what conditions are you going to make?"

"All of them put down their weapons and handed over the fortress. I guarantee their personal safety in the future, treat the wounded, and their officers can also receive their due living treatment." Aigron whispered the conditions he conceived, "I Some people can also be released from here, and the specific number can be negotiated."

"The conditions are quite favorable." Michelle Ney nodded, "However, the attitude of the generals of the defending army was very tough, and I am afraid it will not be so easy to surrender."

"Yes, he is a tough guy, but I believe he will not be a lunatic, and he will not fight to the death when the situation is desperate." Aegron replied coldly, "I will make it clear in the letter, I will Give him two days, if he surrenders in time, I will keep my promise and save the lives of all those who are still alive; if he refuses, if he refuses, then I will hand them over after capturing the fortress. Deal with the Greeks, and they will suffer the most cruel treatment! They will either die in the dark mines, or they will die under the cabin of the ship, in short, they will die like flies! I think at this time, the guy should not be He'll be lucky, he'll know how to choose."

Aegron intends to do both hard and soft, forcing the fortress to surrender to himself.

Although if he keeps attacking, the remaining resources of the defenders will be slowly exhausted, and sooner or later they will be captured by him, but it also means that he will have to bear a lot of additional losses, which he hopes to avoid.

When he needed to squander his life, he was never afraid to squander his life; but when he needed to save his power, he would do everything he could to save it.

He will continue to launch these two days, crush the nerves of the defenders, and then force them to surrender in exchange for a chance to live.

"I see." Michelle Ney nodded and understood what he meant, "However, the Greeks in our army may have opinions. They have a **** feud with the Turks, and you have forgiven them... "

"So I only left you." Aegron replied, "In order to avoid confusion in the army's mind, we secretly persuaded to surrender, and when a fait accompli is formed, even if they have an opinion, I can suppress it - I have established this High prestige, they won't curse me for this little thing."

After a pause, he added, "The Greeks are our allies, but this is not our destination, there is no permanent enemy or permanent friend, so the Turks may be useful to us in the future, we give It's also good for them to make a good impression - and, remember, I'm the only one who can make decisions, and I don't allow anyone to question my decisions!"

"Okay, Your Majesty! I'll do it right away!" Michelle Ney had no further comments, he blinked his bloodshot eyes, and then loudly saluted Aegron.

Just as he was about to leave, Aegron suddenly added another order.

"A small force was dispatched after dawn to search for the Count of Monte Cristo around Methorongion - that guy must be alive."

"Yes!"
