Count Nickles trusted the judgment of the Guards Chieftain more than the local nobles.

More precisely, he believed that the army led by the Eternal Night Army did not have the ability to fly in the mountains, and it was impossible for them to silently uproot the tight surveillance net they had laid in the fault mountains.

It's safe now, at least for the next three or two days.

As long as they jump out of the other mountain passes before that, they have a natural chance to escape.

"Hold them back, whatever you do, stop them. ”

"Assemble in the direction of the mountain pass, and take advantage of the dangerous terrain to stop them. ”

"Don't give up, what has infiltrated behind us is only a small force led by the Eternal Night, as long as we can block their first wave of impact, we have a chance to recover, until then, we must keep the mountain pass alive. ”

Although the Count of Nickles made the decision to retreat from the Helian Pass, they absolutely could not say so when they issued an order to the outside world.

Because once this is said, the last breath of the plateau soldiers will be discharged, and the last courage to resist will be lost, and the army will be defeated.

If everyone gathers at the Helian Pass, they will be turned into sardines there, and there will be no way out, and no one will try to escape.

The Helian Pass is a two-way street, which can not only prevent the enemy from entering the Huayu Plateau, but also prevent the people of the Huayu Plateau from leaving the mountain.

"Hell, these bastards, we know we're going to get out of the pass?"

"You are underestimating, people's instinct to flee for their lives, they may not have our overall vision, but in the case of enemies on all sides, they will instinctively drill into the least crowded place, and the dangerous mountain pass is undoubtedly a turtle shell. ”

When the Count of Nickles waited for them to retreat to the Helian Pass, he was stunned to find that the narrow mouth of the Helian Pass had long been crowded with routs, and the place was so tightly blocked that there was no way to advance or retreat, and quarrels could be heard from afar.

"Hurry up and open the mountain gate, we are going out of the mountain. ”

"Don't mess around, I have the duty to guard the mountain gate, how can the mountain gate be opened easily, what if the enemy takes the opportunity to kill in?"

"The enemy has already killed behind us, don't you see that most of the barracks behind us have been set on fire? What's the use of you still guarding a mountain gate here? I advise you to open the mountain gate as soon as possible, and flee with us to the mountains for temporary refuge, maybe there is still a glimmer of life, no matter how late it is, none of us can escape, we all have to be buried here for your mountain gate." ”

"If I do this, I will be derelict in my duty, and I will be beheaded afterwards, and besides, who knows, whether the riot behind is caused by the roar, I warn you, don't come any closer, if you get closer, I will give the order to shoot arrows. ”

"If you shoot me, you're not afraid of provoking the anger of the public, everyone give it to me, this guy doesn't have the courage to kill his own people. ”

"Open the bow, let go of the ...... This time it is just a warning, if you dare to come near again, I will order someone to greet you. ”

"That bastard really dared to give the order to shoot us with a bow, since you ignore the friendship between brothers, then don't blame us for being polite, what are you waiting for, copy the guy, prepare to rush forward, as long as you rush down the mountain pass and open the city gate, we will have a chance to live, otherwise everyone will die here." ”

"Don't mess around, don't mess around, it's not to this extent, the enemy hasn't been killed yet, we started cannibalism, General Gülen, we know that you are loyal to your duty, but you have to be loyal to your duty also time, the order that Lord Count gave you is to defend against the enemy, not to prevent the brothers from going out of the mountain, regardless of whether there is an enemy attack behind us, or a camp roar, we are out of the customs for temporary avoidance, in order to avoid the loss of our own soldiers, all for the sake of the overall situation, General Gülen, please rest assured, if the Earl blames him afterwards, I will bear the responsibility。 ”

"This ......"

"If General Gülen is not at ease, I am also willing to leave our Cling family's battle flag as proof, and the responsibility will be ours at that time, and it has nothing to do with General Gülen. ”

"Count me in ...... too"

"Count me in ......"

"Well, let's take a step back, and you go to the Earl and ask for an order, and as soon as the Earl's order arrives, I will open the gate of the mountain and let you through, otherwise it will be difficult for me to obey my fate." ”

"General Gülen, you're playing tricks on us, now that it's like this, where are we going to find the Earl?"

"By the time we find the Earl, we will probably have the enemy in front of us, and it will be too late for everything. ”

General Gülen, who guarded the Helian Pass tonight, was a dutiful man, and although he found that there was a problem in the rear, he still faithfully performed his duty, and was unwilling to open the mountain gate.

Such a dedicated person used to be praised by everyone in the past, after all, with such a person, they don't have to worry about the mountain pass being easily taken away.

But now, it has made the local nobles led by him scold and brainless, and he doesn't know how to change it.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, don't hurry up and give way to Lord Earl. ”

"Lord Earl, it's really Lord Earl, what are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and make way for Lord Earl, can you get out of here?"

The Count of Nickles himself sent it to the door, which undoubtedly made those nobles and soldiers happy, and the crowded mountain pass was forcibly split into an opening that could accommodate several people to pass through.

Escort the Count of Nickles all the way to the Helian Pass.

The Count of Nickles had not enjoyed such treatment before, but for the first time he had been greeted by a spontaneous and visceral way.

But at this moment, the Count of Nicholas did not show a trace of joy, only a deep sadness.

At this moment, although Count Nickles didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that the Brian family was finished.

Although when they made their plan, in addition to defending the Helian Pass, they also had the second plan of using the 300-kilometer territory between Huayu City and Helian Pass to clear the wilderness and fight a war of attrition with the invaders.

But this premise is built on the condition that their main force is well preserved.

Even if they withdraw from the Helian Pass now, how many people will they have left when they come out again?

The dangerous road is not so easy to walk, and the enemy will not let them go so easily.

Without enough troops as a basis, even the perfect plan is an empty joke.

"Lord Earl. General Gülen gave a military salute to Count Nigelus.

"General Gülen, you have done a great job and lived up to the trust I have placed in you. Count Nickles nodded at General Glenn and said, "But from now on, your mission has been completed, the enemy has circled behind us without us noticing, this mountain pass has lost its military value, and if we continue to die here, this place will become a Jedi and a grave for all of us, so I have made a difficult decision to abandon the Helian Pass and take a detour home from the sheep intestine path." ”

"The road is rugged and difficult, and the narrowest part must be turned sideways to pass, not to mention that the mountain wind there is strong, and if you are not careful, you will be blown into the bottomless abyss, and there will be no place for the army to enter or leave from there." ”

"I know, but it's become our only option. Count Nickles nodded heavily, "Open the mountain gate first, let them pass, I have already personally gone to make sure, the back is not the camp roar, it is the night attack, the main battle legion of the Eternal Night Army." ”

"Yes. General Gülen had no reason to insist any longer, and ordered in a loud voice, "What are you waiting for, open the mountain gate, let the Earl go, and let the brothers pass." ”

Click!

In a burst of winch turning, the small mountain gate of Helian Mountain Pass slowly opened under thousands of pairs of expectant eyes.

Everyone's tense faces couldn't help but relax a lot, leaving a trace of happiness for the rest of their lives.

As long as the mountain gate is wide open, flees into the fault mountain range, and is broken into pieces, even if it is the main army of the Eternal Night Army that rushes from behind, it will not be able to help them.

"Please, Lord Earl. General Gülen made a gesture of please.

"General Gülen retreat with us!" Count Nickles invited.

"If it is really the enemy behind, I believe that it will not be long before they will chase and kill, and it will take time for the Earl to lead people into the mountains to escape, so I will guard the mountain pass for the Earl again, drag those pursuers, and buy time for the Earl. General Gülen shook his head in refusal.

"General Glenn......" Count Nickles couldn't help but revisit this vassal, whom he had never liked.

Although the other party was born in a noble family, he was not good at communication and words, coupled with his ugly face and old-fashioned personality, he never pleased himself, but he did not expect that at the critical moment, it was he who was loyal to himself.

General Gülen showed a mouthful of snow-white teeth that did not match his dark face, "At this time, there is always a need for someone to be loyal to the homeland, and the life left by the Earl still has a great name, so I will guard the last gate for the Earl......"

"Look, what's that?"

"It's like something is flying in the air, and it's coming for us......"

"It's a big bird, it's so fast......"

There was another wave of unrest and commotion below.

I saw a huge figure rising from the rear and rushing towards them at a terrifying speed, even at night, there was no way to block her brilliance.

Because the flickering magic brilliance on her body is far from being comparable to ordinary magic skills.

It only took less than ten seconds for the other party to appear directly above Helian Pass, and seeing the appearance of the other party clearly, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

Because it was a magical giant that was tens of meters high, the energy fluctuations emitted from his body, even the most insensitive people could clearly feel that the other party was looking down on them with a cold and ruthless gaze.

The situation in front of them has completely broken everyone's cognition, including those local nobles who think they are well-informed and knowledgeable, and they don't know how to explain the magical giant in front of them.

"How is it possible, Princess Sophia?" exclaimed the Count of Nickles, who at first glance connected her with a living person, and the shock was all the more exacerbated.

The next second.

The female magic giant hanging in mid-air, her chest and abdomen were wide open, and countless thick and long objects dragged long flames, gushing out, and fell towards the Helian Pass.

Boom! Boom!

A series of landslides and explosions filled the entire Helian Pass.

In the next moment, it was a hell on earth, and there were blazing magical flames everywhere, burning violently.

In the face of such a violent explosion.

People are like rags, tossed around, and even torn apart.

Those who were killed on the spot belonged to the lucky ones, because they had not yet felt too much pain, either their souls had been wiped out, or their souls had been taken away by an invisible force.

The real misery is those who were not killed on the spot and were caught in the sea of hellfire.

These magical flames are like maggots on tarsal bones, and once splashed, no matter how much they roll wildly on the ground, there is no way to extinguish them.

Soon their roasted skin will be opened, and they will not be human-shaped.

Count Nickles was one of the lucky few who was neither killed on the spot nor consumed by magical flames.

Instead, the air wave generated by the explosion was lifted directly in front of the mountain gate of Helian Pass.

The mountain gate did not completely collapse, creating a small security area.

"Why? Why? Since you have this kind of power, why don't you just take it to the Grand Duke? As long as you get it in front of the Grand Duke, the Grand Duke will never have the courage to start a war with you......

Although the Count of Nicillus is not dead, he has completely lost his soul, and his whole person is like a bad puppet, his eyes are empty and dull, and his mouth is muttering questions, and he does not know whether he is asking the magical giant who resembles Princess Sophia, or whether he is asking himself.

He couldn't figure out why the Eternal Night Army Leader obviously had this kind of power beyond the mundane, so he didn't take it out earlier.

This terrifying magical giant only needs to go to the city of flowers, outside the castle of Grand Duke Christine, and it doesn't even need this artillery attack just now.

Grand Duke Christine will not hesitate to surrender to the Eternal Night Lord, and there will be no second possibility.

The Earl of Nickles had followed Archduke Christine for many years, and knew that his king was not a strong-willed man.

They are preparing for the tournament because they think they have a chance of winning.

"The Eternal Night Commander not only wants the Huayu Plateau, but also wants a clean Huayu Plateau without the old ruling class, the revolutionary party is just a scalpel in their hands, a scalpel to cut off the old ruling class, only by cutting off the old ruling class, they can truly and completely control the Huayu Plateau......"

An irrepressible voice rang out from the depths of Count Nickles' mind.

It was the businessman Viscount Copperfield Gauld, whom he had always looked down upon.

He had already reminded them a month ago.

It's just that they listen to it as a joke.

Count Nickles, in light of his current situation, no longer thought of it as a mere intimidation, a joke.

Only by substituting this premise into it can we explain everything we know.
