Chapter 1440: Dragon Flame Special Forces

Diana walked over with small steps, fearing she might disturb the Protestants who had fallen into a deep sleep.

The General wore a kind smile, but as she watched Diana walk in, a cold sneer rose in her heart.

"General, is there something on your mind, that you would think of going for a stroll so late?" Diana returned the smile, looking at the General as she spoke in a low voice.

The General glanced behind Diana and discovered that no one else had followed, yet they were very close to the Protestants.

If she were to make a move now, it would surely alert the people here.

If she acted now without notifying those people, she would be courting death!

The General hid the Dagger in her hand behind her back, looked at Diana, and said, "Indeed, there is something on my mind, so I wanted to go for a walk."

Diana had the same intention.

The General said again, "Diana, ever since you left, we have explored this karst cave for a while; besides discovering that this cave is overly vast, we also found that there is actually a naturally formed pool inside."

"I often go there to clear my mind."

Hearing this, Diana's eyes lit up.

When she left, this karst cave had not been fully explored; it was the General before her who had led the exploration.

She had not expected that there would actually be a naturally formed pool here.

"Let's go, I will accompany you to take a look," the General invited.

Diana did not refuse; she also wanted to go and clear her mind.

Diana nodded, and the two walked side by side.

In truth, she quite admired the female General who had led their Protestants to break out of the encirclement, even though this General was a woman.

Yet she possessed more courage and strength than those men.

Except for General Ling Chen.

During these days in the Dragon Flame Army, every decision General Ling Chen made was always able to help the Dragon Flame Army turn danger into safety.

She believed this time would be the same; at the thought of General Ling Chen, Diana unconsciously revealed a smile.

The General of the Protestants sensed the unusual expression Diana was now showing.

She was very curious about what exactly this important figure among the Protestants had thought of that could make her reveal such an admiring expression.

"Diana, what have you thought of?" the General asked.

Diana smiled lightly and did not answer.

The General did not press further; these things were not important, as Diana was now a great distance away from the Protestants.

Diana walked in and looked at the shimmering water, revealing a smile of amazement.

She had not expected that there would actually be a pool inside this valley's karst cave.

The pool was not small; although it was pitch black in the cave and nothing could be seen clearly, this pool emitted a faint luster, though she did not know why.

"Not bad, right?"

Diana nodded, revealing a look of joy; seeing such a pool, the pent-up gloom of these past days had also faded somewhat.

But at this moment, the General quietly came up behind Diana, and a cold blade pressed silently against Diana's fair neck.

Diana felt the bone-chilling cold coming from her fair neck, and her small face turned deathly pale: "General, what are you doing!"

The General sneered and said indifferently, "Don't move. I won't kill you; I just want to hand you over to the Austrians."

Diana's face was full of indignation, and she struggled with all her might.

But it had no effect at all; no matter how much she knew, she was only a woman, and in the face of a General stronger than herself, what use could resistance be?

Diana was easily subdued, and the female General looked at her and smiled.

Diana glared at her, staring fixedly: "Why would you do this!"

The female General scoffed and said indifferently, "Because I have always been a believer in Catholicism; do you understand now?"

Catholicism!

Hearing these three words, Diana felt as if she had been struck by lightning; Catholicism and Protestantism were irreconcilable, and this person who led the Protestants

to break out of the encirclement was actually a traitor!

How could this be!

Yet she could not ignore the things this female General had done.

How could the General who once led the Protestants to break out of the encirclement be a traitor!

The massive psychological gap caused a violent shock, and Diana was dazed for a moment.

"Why!" Diana questioned the female General with a hoarse, desperate voice.

What she got in return was the female General's cold, mocking gaze and indifferent sarcasm: "If I told you that my goal has always been to destroy Protestantism, and everything I did before was to deceive you, would you feel any better?"

Hearing this, the towering image of the General in Diana's heart completely collapsed!

Immediately after, Diana saw the female General throw a large rock into the pool, kicking up splashes and sound that quickly traveled outward.

Not long after, ripples spread across the pool.

Diana stared fixedly at the pool, while the General wore a smile of a conspiracy fulfilled.

Slowly, a person carrying firearms wrapped in oil paper emerged from the water.

Diana saw the person who emerged from the water, whose attire was exceptionally distinct; her pupils dilated sharply, and she screamed in shock.

But just as she was about to cry out, her mouth was stuffed with the discarded oil paper by the Austrian soldier who had emerged from the water.

Diana desperately tried to scream, but could only whimper.

The Austrian guard looked at her coldly, ignored her, and turned to look at the female General of the Protestants.

"Done?"

The female General nodded: "Done, but this time a lot of the Dragon Flame army has come; I hope the men you have prepared are sufficient."

"That goes without saying," the Austrian soldier chuckled.

However, the moment his voice fell, a figure appeared like a ghost from the depths of the karst cave, a place where one could not even see their own fingers.

In an instant, he slit the throat of this Austria soldier.

The female general was slightly stunned when she saw this scene, and before she could react, a pair of hands reached out from the darkness and suddenly covered her mouth.

A Dagger was held against her neck.

The torch fell to the ground, illuminating the two figures who had suddenly appeared.

The female general opened her eyes wide in terror, completely unable to figure out where this person had popped out from.

Or exactly when they had arrived behind her.

This was completely impossible!

When she arrived, she had clearly checked carefully and found no one present!

"There is one more alive, how should we handle it?"

Neither Diana nor the female general could understand what this person was saying.

But Diana felt this language was unusually clear; it was the same language General Ling Chen sometimes used when giving orders to his subordinates.

Diana guessed that these people, who existed like ghosts, were Longyan!

Suddenly, she wept with joy, and tears streamed down uncontrollably.

The captain looked at the woman whose mouth was stuffed, finding her appearance very familiar, and upon remembering who she was, he immediately said.

"Release her, she is our guide."

Diana's hands and feet were quickly untied, and she gasped for air.

The captain looked at this Protestant female general; he had seen everything that happened just now and knew that this woman had betrayed them.

The general really is as wise as a god, knowing there were ghosts inside this karst cave.
