The Battle of Danidan was born in a small hilly area called Danidan during the last orc invasion, and it was a small but far-reaching battle.

Faced with the victorious orc army in the midst of the offensive, the five Ferreton knights decided to lead a small number of elite escorts to ambush the passing Ugru in the Danidan hills. Iron Claw, if successful, will be able to reverse the defeat and buy respite for its own side.

But alas, they failed.

Although due to accurate information, the five Ferreton knights managed to capture Ugru, who was secretly transferred with less than 200 guards. Iron Claw, but after a fierce battle, the five high-ranking knights of Ferreton who are all above level 12 are besieging Ugru. Iron Claw was killed one after another.

Although he also lost a hand himself, it was definitely a most glorious victory for Ugru. Rather than commanding an army that annihilated a hundred thousand human armies, orcs who admired individual bravery preferred to see their leaders defeat powerful enemy warriors with their own hands.

It was precisely because of the battle of Danidan that Uglo's prestige was greatly enhanced, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent unification of the entire tundra orc tribe.

As for Ferreton's side, even if the knights of the Danidan battle showed a heroic and fearless spirit of sacrifice, it had no impact on the battle situation after all, and it was even more in the bleak background of that kind of rout, so although it was remembered, it was rarely mentioned.

Among the five human knights who died were Gordon and Sheona's father.

They clearly remember that in order to buy time for the retreat of their families and the fleeing people, their father led the loyal guards of the Freeman family to the battlefield without hesitation in the continuous winter rain. The broad back of the man in shiny plate armor galloping on a horse. It was the last impression that their father left on them.

Not only did his father die, but he was buried with only a headless body after his death. Iron Claw flaunted as the most glorious trophy of her life, which was difficult for Sheona to accept.

The soldier who had retreated from the front line didn't know why the beautiful aristocratic girl in front of him was so excited. I thought I had said something wrong, and I didn't know how to answer.

"Alright, let's go. Report to Count Reinaline, who knows what to do next. Gordon waved the soldier away, then looked at Sheona, "Alright." Sister, let's go. ”

Xie Ona didn't take a single step, but looked at Gordon with her beautiful eyes full of tears: "Brother, Ugru is here!" The executioner who killed his father is less than three kilometers away! ”

Gordon sighed. He knew that his sister was obsessed with killing her father. But although Gordon inherited all the memories of this body after crossing over, he did not have much affection for his biological father. Although he had some feelings for that memory, he couldn't fully empathize with Xie Ona, so he didn't have too strong thoughts of avenging his father.

If the war goes well, of course he is willing to assist Xie Ona in avenging himself and killing Uglu. Iron claw, even if it is the original owner of this body, wishes. But now in this case, the mind of reason sues sΓΉ him. The highest priority option is evacuation.

"Brother......" Xie Ona reached out to hold Gordon, and the cold touch of her little hand was transmitted, "Please forgive me for being willful." But I want to ask again, are we really hopeless? Is there really no chance of turning the tide of battle and defeating the enemy? Brother, you are the most powerful mage in my mind, able to create a miracle...... I don't want to run away like a coward like I did last time, leaving me with nothing but regret and sorrow. I want to fight like a warrior! ”

"......" Gordon silently. He knew with his sister's character, if he said "we have no hope at all and can only retreat". Then even if she is sad, even if she is unwilling, she will obediently evacuate with her through the secret passage. But he couldn't say that.

The plan to destroy the floating fortress, all preparations have been completed in full. If you go out and fight now, you will really succeed in destroying this secret weapon of the Three Holy Baptists. Then the tide of the battle will definitely change.

Not only will the biggest aerial threat be eliminated on Ferredon's side, but the central device that commands the poisonous mist wyverns and abyssal orcs in the floating fortress will also be destroyed, and these half-blood creatures will lose control and fall into chaos.

At that time, the shape shì is reversed, and perhaps the people of Ferreton will be able to achieve the final victory.

After all, although the front line of the city's defense is now collapsing, the defenders are not suffering many casualties, and if the scattered troops and routs lost in the chaos can be organized, and they can regain the will to fight, they will still have the strength to fight. And, despite hating the two pig teammates, Earl Exxon and Drington, the Wintertalon Legion has now established an effective defensive position on a hill outside the city, and continues to resist the frenzied attacks of the orcs. It's also a usable force.

However, to achieve this goal, it is necessary to make the Blade Golem with the Mithic Core installed in its body reach the floating fortress at a height of thousands of meters. This requires someone to go up in person, place a guiding device in the floating fortress, and then activate the magic circle on the top roof of the Red Rock Fortress by the mage group, and use the force field energy to send the blade golem on the ground to it.

The floating fortress is the greatest reliance of the Three Holy Baptists, the core force, and it must be heavily defended by the army. Originally, the Grand Duke himself carried out this task, and then Gordon assisted him. But now that the Grand Duke is gone, with Gordon's strength, the success rate of being able to complete this plan is probably less than one percent.

If Xie Ona was in danger now, even if he had to risk a success rate of less than one percent, Gordon would not hesitate to go. But for the city, the war, Gordon did not believe that he had an obligation to save his life.

Looking at the embarrassed expression on her brother's face, Xie Ona's expression was gloomy, and she nodded with difficulty: "I know, brother...... Let's get ready to evacuate......"

Gordon looked at his sister's sad appearance, and his lips were bitter. He was about to say something when a familiar wind of the wilderness blew beside him.

Lady Mai Yeli suddenly arrived, and then brought an absolutely shocking news to the crowd: "Rob has woken up, Gordon, he wants to see you." ”

β€œοΌοΌβ€

Everyone was speechless with astonishment.

The Grand Duke was seriously injured and in a coma for four days, and there was no good news. Not to mention that the injury improved and he woke up, that is, when the Grand Duke could not hold on to his death for a long time, everyone was mentally prepared. But I didn't expect that at this most critical moment, the lord of the northern land actually woke up!

Without further ado, Gordon didn't ask too much and left with Mai Yeli.

Lady Yaling stretched out her finger and applied a yellowish whirlwind around Gordon's feet, causing him to run sharply, and in half a minute, he was in the Grand Duke's bedroom.

The former legendary mage was sitting on the bed at this time, wearing a purple nightgown, his face was a little pale after recovering from his serious injury, but his eyes had already recovered......

"Gordon, you're here?" Rob. Antello said, his voice a little weak.

Gordon nodded, but did not speak.

The Grand Duke got out of bed, walked to the window, and looked at the city that was in flames in the night: "I already know the progress of the war. Are we ready for our plan? ”

"Ready. But with your current physical condition, you are not suitable for fighting. I think it's safest for us to retreat. The loss of High Rock does not mean that we have lost the entire war. ”

Rob. Antello's tone suddenly became firm: "No, since the plan has been prepared, we still have the possibility of victory, so why give up?" ”

"But my lord, you are the lord of the Northland, the one who supports the entire Far Frost Province, and I think your safety is more important."

Rob. Antello shook his head, "I'll show you something." ”

He suddenly took off his nightgown, revealing a muscular upper body that was not as muscular as a mage, and then recited a mantra: "Antello Shaping, lift." ”

The green light flashed on the Grand Duke's body, and when Gordon saw it clearly again, he couldn't help but gasp.

A black band appeared on the Grand Duke's body, diagonally down from his left shoulder, and one extending to his right waist. The ribbon grows under the skin and appears to be made up of a thick, black, viscous liquid that constantly trembles rhythmically, like a giant bug parasitic on its body.

"It's been twenty years, and it's been twenty years since Azulu planted the curse of black blood on me. As a result, I was greatly weakened, fell from the Legendary Realm, and had to endure the great pain of the curse every month. I tried almost everything, but I couldn't lift the curse. This time Azulu came again, and I had to forcibly improve my strength and defeat him, but my body was already overwhelmed. Because of Mai Yeli's efforts, although I woke up, I don't know how long this broken body can last. ”

The Grand Duke finished speaking slowly, and looked out the window again. His gaze was deep and distant, as if he had seen through the thick darkness of the night, through the plains, the mountains, the sea, to the end of the world.

He seemed to see through the fog of time, and the past, which had long been yellowed and faded, became vivid again in his mind.

The Grand Duke seemed to be talking to himself, as if he was talking to Gordon, and said leisurely: "Gordon, every time I see you, it is as if I have seen my past self...... In the past, I was like a new sword, shining brightly, and the world around me was simple and pure; Today, the body is already old, decaying, and in the dark, struggling in vain. ”

After the Grand Duke finished speaking, he took a deep breath, and his tone changed abruptly, with a sense of determination: "But the rusty sword also has its value. Even if you will be crushed, you will swing it one last time to cut off the darkness! ”

Gordon listened silently, not saying anything.

He knew Rob. Grand Duke Antelo had made up his mind, and he couldn't change anything. If there is a Grand Duke, the possibility of destroying the floating fortress is indeed much greater.

So, what should you do?
