"Iron Shield covers the Rifles' retreat!" Izal roared with all his might.

The battlefield was filled with smoke and fire, and the advance army of Liaoyuan once again failed to break through and retreated to the swamp. This time, Izar directly brought a brigade of 500 people, and the blood galleys' blocking team was actually less than so many people, but Ember obviously made up his mind to block the resistance from Tarun at the entrance to the Dead Ash Plains, and directly pulled in several charging cannons to suppress the periphery, these big guys could directly break the shield, so that the rebels' breakthrough was in vain many times, and due to hunger and injury, the attrition was about to exceed 100.

There was also a sense of impatience in the ranks of the Blood Servants, the enemy cowered in the swamp and could not come out, and this terrain made it impossible for the charging cannons to enter, and they also tried to break through directly several times, but were pressed back by the fierce artillery fire of the fire.

"Why are these mud-legged men better equipped than ours?" said a centurion, pacing back and forth in the battle at the Bloodservant camp.

"It must have been moved out of Talen's fortress, and I don't believe these idiots have the ability to make it themselves. Another Centurion was also angry with Talen's "pig teammate".

"Okay, don't complain. Suddenly the tent lit up, for a man opened the curtain and walked in, he was the commander of the Commander of the Thousand Commanders who was in charge this time, and he frowned, and with one hand stroked the horns on his head that protruded slightly, and looked preoccupied, and after a while he finally said to the two Captains, "The herald has just returned, and Lord Logmery wants us to stay still." ”

"What?!" exclaimed the man who spoke at first, "aren't you going to send reinforcements? ”

"What's the matter? When we were ordered to act, we said we were going to win, but now we hesitated. The other commander temporarily calmed down, but became confused.

Yoris also got up to join the pacing array, muttering, "Something must have happened over there, after all, Lord Ember's mind...... Uh, this, unfathomable. In fact, what he wanted to talk about was capriciousness, and after speaking, he looked in the direction of Wolf City to the south, hoping that it would be good to send someone who spoke more effectively as soon as possible.

......

The Wolf City Guardhouse, the heavy iron door was slowly pushed open, the unmaintained gears made a tooth-aching sound, and a team of red-cloaked blood servants appeared outside the door on a tall horse, if those who knew how to see this group of men and horses, they would probably exclaim in surprise, because the ornaments on their cloaks showed that there were two captains among the more than ten people, and the rest were all commanders.

"Long time no see, Logmeari. The leader turned over and dismounted, and greeted Logmery who was greeted at the door, and then his face turned strange, "Huh, why are there some parts missing?" he said, referring to the other's severed arm.

Logmery's face was ugly, he couldn't say that the lord had knocked off his arm with a dragon lance, so he quickly changed the subject: "Pierce, stop gossiping, Lord Ember is in a bad condition." ”

"What's wrong?" Pierce wasn't tall, he was a little skinny, bald, and looked young, and the way he spoke always made people feel a little frivolous.

At this time, another captain in the back also dismounted, and if you look at first glance, you will think that he actually looks nine points similar to Pierce, but if you look closely, you will find that his expression is even more gloomy.

Pierce put his arm around the man and asked, "Pierce, my dear brother, do you know?"

Spear looked at him and didn't speak, Logmery couldn't help but sigh and said, "Hey, didn't I write it in the letter? Lord Ember has been locked in the house for three days, and every day there is a terrible roar, I asked one of the guards to go in and see the situation, and then ......"

"And then he turned into a dead dog and was thrown out, didn't he?" said Pierce.

"It's worse than that, but it's about the same. Logmery shrugged.

"Hmph, you're so cunning, don't tell me you don't know what will happen if you go in and see it. Pierce teased.

"Is this the time to talk about this? Logmery always couldn't do anything with this guy, and he was secretly glad that Pierce's station was a central fortress in the middle of the Ash Plains, so he didn't have to meet him often.

Logmery left the rest of the group in the courtyard, and went upstairs with the Pierce brothers.

......

Under the lead-clouded sky was smooth earth, yes, very smooth, at least that's how Ember felt, he had been staggering in this nameless place for an unknown amount of time, maybe years, this great lord, who was rarely so embarrassed, felt that he was on the verge of collapse, there was no one here, not even the slightest sound had ever appeared, although various objects could still be seen in front of him, but they felt unreal, the feeling was indescribable, as if after ten minutes of scalding his hand into the boiling hot water, the burning pain had disappeared, replaced by complete numbness。 And the collision between objects does not produce any sound, it feels like you are completely deaf in both ears.

Ember was a little nostalgic for the monster that appeared a long time ago, although it was weaker, and he secretly regretted killing that guy too quickly, if he had left it, he would have seen something that moved.

An inexplicable irritability rose from his heart, and he roared again, but he couldn't even hear his own voice, which made the great lord, who had been as elegant as a gentleman, even more angry, and this anger made his chest like a flame, and the blazing pain made him curl up in the third, and the inability to hear his own screams made his pain become like a soldering iron in his throat.

"Ahh

Ember suddenly found that there was a voice, and all the pain disappeared, and he lay on the ground panting heavily, sweat soaking through his clothes, and after a long period of torture, even this feeling of extreme disgust made him feel as comfortable as executing the highest prey with his own hands.

Suddenly it went dark, and Ember opened his eyes to see a figure in a silver cloak.

"Reeves?!" the Grand Lord straightened suddenly, looking ready to fight, "You're not ......"

"Are you dead? You want to ask this? Ember Scarlett, you have disappointed me so much, you Scarlett family have been lords of the Dead Plains for generations, and this can be said to be your own kingdom, but in this land that has been watched for hundreds of years, you dare! Kill my patrol!!" The "Reeves" stared at him, and roared word by word.

Ember's eyes widened, and he took two crooked steps back, finally kneeling directly on the ground.

The silver figure continued, "Tell me, Ember, why are you doing this?"

Ember lay on the ground and trembled and replied, "Yes...... There's a gang of rebels, I'm interested, and Reeves wants to kill them directly, but I don't want to give him the chance to hunt. ”

"Rebellion? What kind of rebellion?"

Thousands of thoughts flashed through Ember's mind for a moment, and finally he answered, "A new group of alchemists, one of them has some ability, so it has brought a little trouble. ”

The man stared at the embers for a moment, and finally nodded, "Hmm...... As I said, the rebellions that the alchemists are involved in are all first-class events. However, if you kill the patrolman, you are still guilty of an unforgivable crime!"

Ember lowered his head: "The subordinates must immediately put down the rebellion, and then immediately go to you in person to plead guilty!"

"Hmph, no need, for the sake of your family's loyalty for generations, spare you this time, if there is a next time, I promise that you will stay in the colorless dream forever. ”

"Thank you for your generosity and forgiveness, Your Majesty Enollius. ”

Ember didn't look up again from beginning to end, the dream receded, and he returned to his room, only then did the lord lying on the ground stop hiding the strange smile on the corner of his mouth, "My prey, no one wants to touch ......"
