Catherine has never been one to give up easily, not before, not now, and probably in the future.

She is the kind of strong person who has a glimmer of hope and will continue to move forward with perseverance.

And when it came to the end, she completely calmed down.

Although the situation is already very bad, she also understands that she is not completely out of opportunities.

So she chose this safe passage, the shortest of the many safe passages in her command center, and now that the magic teleportation array was out of action, this not-so-long passage should allow her to escape to the rest of Arshanret's other safe areas that were still under the control of the Erathian army in the shortest possible time.

And not far from the exit of this passage, there is a critical node with heavy troops, Catherine absolutely believes that as long as she finds out that something is wrong, these loyal soldiers will immediately rush to help, and at the same time, although this passage is not long, but it is relatively spacious, when the two sides fight in the passage, the Erathian army can give full play to the numerical advantage, and even, the Erathian army does not need to defeat the opponent, as long as it can drag the other party, so that Catherine has a chance to escape, Then the decapitation tactics of the Entagre Army would have failed completely.

If you can defeat your opponent, you will win.

Although such a victory would not fundamentally change the predicament faced by the Erathian army from a strategic point of view, it would at least prevent the situation from deteriorating further, and Catherine could not imagine that even the city of Standwick had been breached, and the elves were desperately burning everywhere with the blade of doom, if she was killed or captured again. What a miserable way the Erathian Empire would become.

However, to Catherine's secret anxiety, she couldn't determine what kind of blockade the passage the Entagrean army had, whether it was a surprise attack or a direct collapse?

If it was the latter, then she really had no hope at all.

Fortunately, she soon heard the sound of fierce fighting coming from ahead.

******************

Today was definitely an unlucky day for Wozzak.

In this decapitation operation, the young barbarian became a member of the raid force with his elite team of Imperial warriors due to his previous series of outstanding performances.

He was ordered to lead his own army of Imperial Warriors with another army of Thor's trolls. Capture a passage. And until the entire operation is completed, ensure that this passage does not fall back into the hands of the enemy, and at the same time, prevent Catherine from escaping from this passage in the unlikely case.

This was originally not a very difficult task. In a predetermined schedule. The cavemen will dig a secret passage. Then Wozzak led his men through this secret passage and took possession of the passage that was said to be extremely important before the enemy could react. Defensive positions were placed in key points, and then they held out until the entire operation was completed, and then managed to evacuate according to the predetermined route with the help of other troops.

However, this seemingly simple plan went wrong, Morriel and the others made thousands of calculations, but did not calculate the difference between the geology of this area and the surrounding area, so when the secret passage was about to be completed, the cave people were stunned to find that there was a thick rock layer in front of them.

This unexpected situation made the cave people dumbfounded, they couldn't dig the rock formation, but the time it took was not short, and they had the intention to change the direction, but the whole operation had reached a critical moment, and in a hurry, they couldn't determine how long it would take to bypass this rock formation, and whether they could successfully dig the exit to the designated location after bypassing.

In the end, it was Worzak who decided to use violent means to open the way, and he asked the cavemen to dig a few small holes in the rock formations, and then buried all the grenades that the team could find.

"Even if you can't blow this damn rock formation open, you can blow that passage down!" The young savage gritted his teeth.

This is definitely a rather dangerous plan, because one is not careful, maybe the grenade blew up is not the passage, but the secret passage where everyone stays, but everyone is also unable to think about it, can only fight, fortunately, the goddess of luck did not completely abandon everyone today, after the explosion, the secret passage turned out to be nothing, everyone was not buried alive, the rock formation was blown up, it turned out that although the rock formation area was large, but everyone happened to dig its weak point.

However, what made everyone who came out of the temporarily excavated Tibetan Soldier Cave dumbfounded was that the opening was really small, and the cave people were busy again, but it only made the hole a little bigger, which could allow the normal size of the Imperial warriors to pass through, as for those tall and strong Thor trolls, there was no hope, and it would take more time to expand, but even so, the cave people did not dare to slack off, and after passing through the rock formation, they all tried to move forward, Finally, the last section of the secret passage was completed within the specified time.

But what made everyone very helpless was that due to the large movement caused by the explosion, it actually attracted the nearby soldiers of the Erathia Army, and by the time Wozzak and the Imperial warriors finally entered the passage, the Erathia Army had already organized a large number of troops to rush over.

There was no time to build a position, so Vořák could only rush into battle with his people.

Then they got into a bitter battle.

The Erathian Army came too fast, and the number of people was too many, and although there was no top-level existence like the Archangel, the equipment and martial arts of these Erathian knights and crusaders who were responsible for defending the center of Arissanret were good, and their combat power was far from comparable to that of ordinary Erathian soldiers.

What's more, the operation of Worzak and the others this time was originally based on the Thor trolls, supplemented by the Imperial warriors, because in the narrow terrain to fight a defensive battle, the Thor Troll Troll warriors who are huge in size and wear heavy armor and have the ability to regenerate are definitely the most suitable candidates to block the main road as a meat shield, so this time the Imperial warriors brought by Worzak are actually not many, only about fifty people. There were nearly a hundred Trolls in number, but the big ones were now all trapped in the rock formations in the tunnels.

However, the passage in front of him is relatively wide, enough for more than 20 people to walk side by side, the Erathia army rushed up, and went forward and charged regardless of it, and the imperial warriors in the hands of Wozzak were really a little irresistible, and those who were killed retreated again and again, and some of them were already killed on the spot.

But they were still fighting, and they did not flee, and the warriors of the Empire had never been in the habit of fleeing. Not to mention. Their task was to hold the passage until the operation was complete.

"Courage! Liability! Honor! ”

Shouting their characteristic battle cry, the remnants of the Imperial warriors began to form battle squads under the command of Worzak, cooperating with each other to entangle themselves in the passages with enemies far outnumbered by themselves—after several battles. The Imperial Warrior troops are shining brightly. Some of its own flaws are also exposed. Therefore, under the instruction of Chen Jian, the Imperial warrior troops, who only focused on individual bravery at the beginning of the army, have now begun to pay attention to formation and coordination - fortunately, Wozak and others can block the opponent's offensive while constantly retreating at this time. Don't get surrounded by your opponents or collapse completely.

With such a huge disparity in numbers, no matter how strong the Imperial warriors were, it was impossible for them to hold out for long by fighting alone.

Some of the cavemen soldiers discovered the plight of their allies and screamed out of the secret passages, trying to help Worzak and the others, but these emaciated engineers of the Ntagrean Army were the opponents of the wolf-like Elasia knights and crusader warriors, and were quickly slaughtered by their opponents, but their heroic actions gave Worzak and the others some respite to stabilize the formation.

The rest of the cavemen did not dare to come forward to die, but they did not give up the fight, and they returned to the secret passage, desperately widening the hole at the bottleneck formed by the rock formation, so that the thor trolls, who had already been anxious to find out that something was wrong, could have a chance to enter the battlefield.

But at this time, Catherine and others appeared from another direction.

The situation, which was already unfavorable to Worzak and others, became more and more dangerous.

********************

Without any hesitation, Catherine immediately went into battle with her few men.

She was pleasantly surprised to find that the situation on this side of the passage was even better than she expected, because not only did the passage not collapse, but the Ntagrei army that appeared in it was only a few dozen so-called Imperial warriors.

In terms of the plan of the Entagrean army, such an arrangement is definitely a failure of failures, the Imperial warriors are indeed strong, but with such a huge disparity in numbers between the two sides, what can they do?

Catherine didn't know why this was happening, but the current situation did not allow her to think too much, because behind everyone, the enemy had already caught up, and judging by the sound, the broken army she left behind had also fought with the enemy.

"Rush over!"

The overjoyed Catherine waved her sword, and the first soldier took the lead in the charge, and the Elassian knights and archangel warriors who had escorted her all the way to this place were also in high spirits, and they fought bravely one by one.

At the other end of the passage, the soldiers of the Erathia Army, who had already gained the upper hand but had not been able to take down their opponents, found that their Majesty the Empress had led people to arrive, and cooperated with their own side to launch a flanking attack on the enemy.

It stands to reason that at this time, the soldiers of the Entagri Army, who were attacked by many opponents on both sides and were at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, and the situation was becoming more and more critical, should feel panicked or even disperse, and then be wiped out by the Erathian Army in one fell swoop.

But to the surprise of all the soldiers of the Erathia Army present, with the arrival of Her Majesty the Empress, these opponents, who were obviously dying, suddenly burst into a strong fighting spirit just like them.

"Catherine is here!"

"Stop her! Can't let her pass! ”
