Taking advantage of the confusion, General Bernard jumped to his feet, picked up his spear and flew on his horse, charging at the enemy, and his son William, though only thirteen years old, was not afraid at all, jumped on a war horse, and rushed forward after his father with a short sword in his hand. The other pro-soldiers also got rid of the enemy, grabbed the horses, and followed the general all the way to slash and kill.

The Guards had lost their leader, and now that the enemy had come to reinforcements, their morale suddenly collapsed, and they began to flee in all directions, scrambling towards the woods on the hillside.

The general pursued his men for a mile, and only when the enemy had burrowed into the woods did he stop his horse and gather his men back.

"How did you get caught? What about your mother?"

On the way back, the general anxiously asked his son.

"After we separated, the griffin followed us, and at first we thought he was following, but we didn't expect to go less than five miles before a formation burst out of the woods beside the road. We were ambushed, and everyone else was killed, leaving me and my mother captured, and they left her behind, and then had the griffon knight take me over to see what was going on. ”

William briefly described what happened to him after he was separated from his father.

After hearing this, the general was both happy and worried, happy that his wife was not dead, worried that his wife was in the hands of the enemy, and he wanted to go to save his wife now, but before that he had to do one more thing.

Thank you for saving your life!

The general glanced at the river not far away, and there were three figures standing there, who were the same people who had rescued them before, a magician and two archers, who hurriedly urged their horses to rush over.

"Nicholas Bernard meets with His Excellency the Magician and thanks him for saving his life. ”

When he was still about twenty paces away from the three men, the general jumped off his horse and strode towards the three men. Of the three, the magician stood in the center, and the two archers stood on the left and right sides behind him, so the general judged that the archers should be the magician's guards, so he came directly to the magician, ready to fall on one knee to express his gratitude.

"Don't dare to be! Don't dare to be! The general is quickly excused. ”

The magician raised his hand slightly, and an invisible force held Bernard's body, and then he rushed forward two steps, stretched out his hands to support the general, and said with an excited expression.

"Who are you, and why are you here to save us?"

General Bernard was completely unfamiliar with the three of them, and did not understand why they had appeared in this barren mountain and offered to help him.

"General Bernard, my name is Alan Kanter, I graduated from the Imperial Capital Academy of Magic, and I have always admired Your Excellency!"

The magician is none other than Allen, who got information from the Mercenary Guild to get here in time to save General Bernard.

After overthrowing Holland's control of the ancient city state, Alan wanted to set up an intelligence-gathering organization to serve his next strategy, following the example of the Yuss Empire, but his idea was opposed by Kevin. Kevin wasn't against him setting up an intelligence organization, but he taught him an easier way.

"You're the president of the Mercenary Guild, and you need an additional intelligence organization?"

That's right! The mercenary union is a ready-made intelligence gathering organization, and there are thousands of mercenaries walking all over the mainland.

Under Kevin's reminder, Alan suddenly realized.

So when the coup d'état took place in Yous, Alan immediately ordered the mercenaries everywhere to start collecting valuable information, the most important of which was the news about Famakos and the Grand Prince Lawrence, but until now the whereabouts of the two are still a mystery. However, a group of mercenaries on a mission was passing through a mountainous area west of Yus when they accidentally encountered General Bernard's team who was struggling to flee for their lives, so they passed the news back to the headquarters of the mercenaries in the ancient city. At that time, Alan was on vacation, and the people of the mercenary union could not find Allen, so they could only relay the news to Elvis, the vice president of the Academy of Magic.

Elvis was very anxious after receiving the news, Nicholas Bernard was the hero he and Alan admired when they were young, if such a person died on the battlefield with a bang, how could he let him succumb to his own hands? So he hurriedly handed over the work of the magic academy to Elton and Sean, took Feige and transferred a team of mercenaries from the mercenary union, and drove a flying magic array to Yuewan Village to find Allen. This kind of flying magic array Alan has built a total of five, three are placed in the ancient city of Ao, and two are placed in the Capra Pass, mainly for communication, although the flying magic array is fast, but it must be controlled by people above the senior magician.

After receiving the news that Bernard was in crisis, Alan took Sergei and Fresnel on another flying magic array and Elvis to search for General Bernard's traces according to the location reported by the mercenaries. That morning, with the elves' superior eyesight, they spotted a griffon in the distance, and there was only one possibility that a griffon appeared nearby, and that was to search for General Bernard. So they followed the griffin from a distance, and sure enough, they saw Bernard's team, but at this time the pursuers just arrived, and Bernard's team split in two. Alan consulted with Elvis, and he followed Bernard with two elves, while Elvis followed the general's wife and children's team.

Alan was going to help at the beginning, but when he saw Bernard use cavalry tactics to play twenty times his opponent around, and even capture the leader of the opponent, he never made a move, but who would have thought that the griffon knight would go and return and capture the general's son William as a hostage to threaten the general, the situation was immediately reversed.

Taking advantage of everyone's attention on the general, Eren used flying magic to quietly approach the griffon, while the two elves ambushed in the woods by the river, and both attacked at the same time, Eren used ice spike magic to kill the griffin knight, and the two elves used accurate archery skills to beat the guards in a daze, and once again turned the tide on the field.

"Thank you, Master Kanter, for saving your life. ”

When Alan recounted who he was and how he got here, Bernard became more and more grateful, and once again wanted to kneel down to Alan to thank him.

"The general guards the territory and works hard. If we say thank you, we should say it. ”

Alan looked excited and shook the general's hands, the general's palms were covered with calluses, which were the traces left by years of grasping weapons, rough and warm. This is not the first time that Alan has observed the general up close, compared to the meeting in the auditorium of the Knight Academy, the general's face has changed a lot, but it looks more majestic and respectful.

"Defending the territory is the credit of all the soldiers, and I dare not take credit alone. ”

The general shook his head, his expression a little gloomy, for he knew that he might never get the chance to fight with his former robes again.

"Now that Yus's government has been controlled by the Holy See, they can't tolerate a loyal person like the general, so the general should go back to the ancient city of Oku-gu with me. ”

The two men met, Alan said.

"I'm a criminal in the imperial court now, and unless I go incognito, I'm in trouble everywhere. What's more, my wife is still in the hands of the enemy, and I must rescue her first. ”

The general's expression became more and more gloomy, who would have thought that he would fight for the country for half his life on the front line of resistance against the orcs, but in the end he would end up being framed as a traitor.

"I once swore that I would not be at odds with the Holy See, and now that Yuss has been in cahoots with the Holy See, then Yuss and I will have to turn our faces sooner or later, and the general doesn't have to worry about the trouble that will be caused by joining us. And don't worry, general, my friend has gone to save your wife, and maybe he has succeeded by now. ”

Alan continued, and as soon as his words fell, Fresnel had already spotted a black dot flying in the sky to the north.

"It's El them. ”

Sure enough, as Fresnel said, the black dot got closer and closer, gradually revealing the appearance of the wooden boat, and when it reached the top of Alan and the others, the wooden boat began to drop in height, and the general's wife jumped off the wooden boat with the help of Elvis.

"Mom!"

"Madame!"

"Husband, son!"

When the family met, there was a kind of excitement and joy for the rest of their lives.

"General Bernard, we meet again, do you remember me?"

After William and his mother hugged, the general was about to hug his wife, but unexpectedly, a young magician with thick eyebrows and big eyes rushed forward and gave him a hug first, and the excitement seemed to be even more than the reunion of his own family.
