By the Blackwater River, the Death Roar Legion has set up a temporary camp. They have just crossed the Blackwater River and need to rest as soon as possible. Sejialan's army is getting closer and closer, and the retreat is becoming more and more difficult and dangerous. There is not enough Physical strength can only be exploited by others.
The wide Blackwater River failed to cause any trouble to the Death Roaring Legion, and naturally it could not stop Se Jialan's footsteps. In this magical world, a spell can turn natural obstacles into a smooth road. The Death Roaring Legion just now emerged from the ice. Rushing over the water, Jacob, the great alchemist who followed the army, removed the magic circle, and the Blackwater River quickly returned to its original state.
Beeri was leaning on the edge of the bed, and dozens of generals from the legion gathered in his tent, waiting for Beeri's order.
Beeri only wore an ordinary cloth robe, and the battle armor that had been with him for many years had long been taken off. His chest was wrapped in a thick layer of gauze, and there were still blood stains on the gauze. After breaking out from the siege, Se Jialan personally led the vanguard cavalry to bite the rear wing of the Roaring Death Legion. Two squadrons of gryphons also came out, trying their best to slow down the retreat of the Roaring Death Legion. Beeri had no choice but to He had no choice but to cut off the rear with Thor himself and fight a fierce counterattack.
Too many ants kill an elephant! Beeri only led more than 200 of his personal guards to block the rear. Sejialan's soldiers were dozens of times more than his. In addition, there were griffin knights to assist him in the battle. Although he achieved his goal in the end, his personal More than half of the guards were killed, and even he himself was injured in several places. Only Thor was safe. "Marshal, at this speed, we will be blocked outside the Hengduan Valley by the Iron Guard Knights and the Griffin Flying Team of the Flash Sand Empire!" Sean said slowly: "We must speed up!"
"Speed up? How to speed up?" Beeri coughed: "Yes, if we run desperately, we can retreat into the Hengduan Valley before the Iron Guard Knights arrive, but then what? All the soldiers are exhausted from running We are exhausted. The Knights of the Iron Guard only need one charge to overwhelm us all."
"But...if we retreat at this speed, we will be surrounded by people outside the Hengduan Valley!"
"Sejialan's plan is very careful." Saul, who had been closing his eyes to meditate, suddenly interrupted: "We are like a group of people who are about to starve to death, but Sejialan just left us a poisonous apple. If we If we rush to eat the apples, we will be poisoned to death, if we can resist the temptation, we will starve to death."
The generals in the tent were silent. Sol's metaphor was very vivid. The current situation is before everyone, so keep the current retreat speed. This ensures the combat effectiveness of the legion. But the way out will be blocked by enemy troops. Speeding up means giving up the ability to fight back. Just in case something goes wrong. It will be like what Bailey said. The Knights of the Iron Guard can overwhelm them with just one charge. Nothing is right.
"Marshal, I have an idea." Dalma Wangsha said softly.
"Oh?" "We can order the Shield of Light Legion to stop Sejialan's army." Dalma Wangsha looked at Beeri's face before cautiously continuing: "Actually, we don't have any extravagant hopes. The Shield of Light Legion It is enough to buy us three days! We can retreat according to the original plan. Even if the way is blocked by the Iron Guard Knights, we have you, Lord Thor, and Lord Jacob. We are fully capable of retreating Tear apart the defense line of the Iron Guard Knights within three days!"
"You mean, you want me to give up the Shield of Light Legion?" Beeri asked slowly.
Dalma Wangxia laughed dryly and did not dare to speak. The generals had different expressions. Some expressed their dissatisfaction with cold snorts, while others had expressions of hope in their eyes.
"The Shield of Light Legion is also a warrior of the empire. I will never give up on them, just like I will never give up on you." Beeri said coldly.
Dalma Wangsha sighed lightly, he did not insist on his opinion.
At this moment, the guards outside the tent loudly reported: "Marshal, the Grand Alliance has sent people over."
"Please." Beeri spoke while trying to get up, but he frowned and lay back unwillingly. It was obvious that his injury was not light, and Beeri's embarrassment made the generals in the tent feel I feel more and more sad...
When the curtain opened, Long strode in. He glanced around, first saluted Sol respectfully, and then bent down to Bailey.
"Don't be so formal." Beeri smiled. Before his laughter ended, he coughed violently again: "I...I remember you, your name is..."
"My name is Long, Marshal, are you...are you injured?" Long showed a surprised expression.
"A small injury, nothing to worry about." Bailey paused for a while: "My soldiers told me that An Fei is determined to capture Blackwater City at all costs. How is it now?"
"It has been captured." Long said slowly: "Manzhisli was killed by Mrs. Susanna, Muritao and Hochibili died in the hands of Lord An Fei, and the Tao Tiger Mercenary Group was completely wiped out. Yes, Blackwater City has now become a dead city."
"This kid An Fei... is really courageous." Beeri said with a smile in his eyes.
"Master Marshal, Master An Fei asked me to tell you something." Long said softly: "Your Excellency has already gone to stop the Iron Guard Knights. He asked you to rest assured!"
"Is he alone?" Thor opened his eyes wide. He has been a master and apprentice for so long, and he knows An Fei very well. An Fei has a very independent personality. It is hard to say how risky it is to block the Iron Guard Knights of the Flash Sand Empire. As for Yu, with An Fei's temper, he would most likely go alone to avoid danger to his companions.
"Yes."
"Nonsense!" Sol frowned.
"My lord said that if there is really no other way, he will release the volcanic mass explosion scroll."
"The scroll of volcano explosion? Where did it come from?" Beeri asked in shock. "It's the trophy An Fei gained when he killed the great magician Mike." Soltilon answered, and then a wry smile appeared on his face: "Actually... I have already thought about what An Fei will do."
"Oh?" Bailey didn't understand.
"It was An Fei who proposed to assassinate Se Jialan, but in the end Se Jialan was not only safe, but also set a trap for us. What do you think An Fei will think?"
"This... we don't blame him." Beieri also showed a wry smile.
"Whether we blame him is one thing, whether he can forgive himself is another." Saul said softly.
"But An Fei is alone..." Beeri shook his head: "Do you think he can really stop the Griffin Flying Team and the Iron Guard Knights? Moreover... Volcano Group Explosion is a super forbidden spell, which requires a huge source of magic power. To an unimaginable extent, can An Fei really release a volcanic explosion?"
"I know my students." Sol closed his eyes slightly: "An Fei is going to fight for his life. No matter whether he can release a volcanic explosion or not, he will fulfill his promise, even at the cost of his life. Since it is him Don’t worry, just don’t worry.”
Sean, Dalma Wangxia and other generals looked at each other with joy in their eyes. Although An Fei's reputation became more and more famous, in the minds of the generals, An Fei's prestige was still far inferior to that of Suo Suo. Compared with Er, Long conveyed An Fei's determination, and the generals were still dubious, but Saul expressed his stance, and they no longer had any reason to doubt.
"I can rest assured, but... can you rest assured An Fei?" Bailey's eyes fell on Sol. The so-called desperate means on the one hand what kind of determination An Fei has, and on the other hand it also proves that An Fei In fact, he didn't have much confidence, so he could only try his best.
Thor opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but paused for a moment. His eyes turned to Sean and others: "You guys should go out first. I have something to discuss with Marshal Beeri in detail."
Sean and others filed out of the handsome tent as ordered. Bailey asked in surprise: "Saul, what do you want to talk about?"
"What the hell are you doing?" Thor asked in a deep voice.
"Am I... playing tricks?"
"We have been together for decades, and you can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from me! Are you the kind of person who will never recover after encountering a slight setback?" Thor's eyes flashed, and he looked at Beeri: "Or... it's His Majesty's Order?"
Beeri was quiet for a moment, then suddenly grinned, turned over and jumped off the bed. In front of the generals just now, although there was nothing wrong with Beeri's expression, it always gave people the feeling of forcing a smile. Now Beeri This is the original Beeri.
"what is going on!"
"Haha...it's a long story. Before I decided to pursue the Flash Sand Emperor's army, I had already received a secret letter from His Majesty..." Beeri stated in detail Julande's judgment of the battle situation at that time. out. Since His Majesty has reminded you, if Edward VIII never controls or is unable to control the fleeing army, there must be fraud, then why do you want to stay on the line again..."
"Brother, I can't believe it... Do you think I can bear to watch the soldiers die!" Beeri said with a bitter smile: "The magic circle they set up controls a range of dozens of miles. Thor, if you set up the same How long will it take at the fastest to create the magic circle?"
"If we go all out...it will take at least fifteen days."
"Calculate the time, on the third day after Sejialan was assassinated, Dog Mingzhe had already reached the first line of sky and started to set up the magic circle." Beeri's bitter smile became thicker: "In other words, after His Majesty learned When the news of Se Jialan's assassination came out, Se Jialan had already decided to ambush us in the sky! Who could have expected that Se Jialan would decide the battlefield so early? And...Se Jialan was already dead at that time. I thought Your Majesty It just reminds me that Edward VIII is cheating. To be honest, I really don’t take Edward VIII seriously.”
"So...are you really defeated?" Thor smiled.
"Of course, there is nothing that cannot be admitted." Beeri nodded: "Also, before arriving at Yixiantian, did you know the landscape of Yixiantian? Sejialan grew up in Gorman's field. She Familiar with every location on the mainland, she has an advantage this time, but in the future... it won't be that easy."
