When Xiao Chen and the others entered the God of War Arena, there were eight people. When they came out, there were only four people who could stand. Marcus is killed, Metatron and Cynthia are seriously wounded, and Stuart sleeps. The rest of Gabriel and Webber were also injured, and only Xiao Chen and Ye Zi were still intact.

However, when they reappeared where Ye Zi opened the space, they found that the surrounding scene had changed drastically. They looked down at the ground from the air and found that it was no longer a confrontation between the two armies, and it turned out that Huang Zheng's assault team had already rushed through the opponent's defense line. The left, center, and right enemies have all been repulsed.

Now even Chang Yujie's regiment has followed the assault team and pressed on the whole line, advancing the battle line to the middle of Heimu Pass, and fighting street battles with the troops in the enemy's rear.

The artillery regiment and the second regiment led by Wang Jiyuan have also begun to enter the customs. They began to re-erect artillery positions in the pass, preparing to strike at the enemy's ranks in the pass.

Looking at the sky again, the battle for air supremacy in Kuroki Pass has ended. Lorenzo, Gordon, and Dinen are escorting a large number of captured Imperial mages down from the sky.

Xiao Chen and several people landed near Wang Jiyuan's new headquarters with the wounded and prisoners, and someone immediately ran up to treat the wounded and escorted the prisoners away.

"Is it dangerous that Metatron is so badly injured?" Wang Jiyuan said.

"When I came out of the God of War Arena, the Arena had already absorbed the power of the dead Duke Stuart and treated May and Master Gabriel's wounds, although May's wounds looked terrifying, but they were no longer life-threatening. Ye Zi said.

Xiao Chen said: "After all, the four people of the enemy are all genuine masters. If it weren't for the fact that we had taken the lead and had the advantage of the field, and let two of them surrender, I am afraid that we would have suffered even greater losses. ”

"But it seems that it is worth it, and we have already overpowered each other in high-end power anyway. Wang Ji said from afar.

Xiao Chen said: "I hope so. ”

At this time, the officer in charge of escorting the prisoners came running and reported: "Chairman Xiao, that prisoner of war named Weber has something to say to you! He said that this is a very important matter, please listen to him." ”

Xiao Chen said to Wang Jiyuan: "Let's go and listen to it and see if he has anything else to say." ”

Duke Webber is now a little mentally sluggish, after all, his hand was almost cut off by Gabriel, and his body was hit by Marcus's positive energy impact, if he didn't have a positive energy bloodline and a strong resistance to positive energy, I am afraid he would have fallen like Cynthia.

However, when he saw Xiao Chen coming, he cheered up.

"What do you need to tell me?" Xiao Chen asked.

"Your Excellency Xiao Chen, I would like to write a letter asking you to find a way to hand it over to my son Gramm. Duke Webb clasped his arm and said, "If I could, I would like to write now." ”

"Give him pen and paper. Xiao Chen said.

Duke Webb took the pen and paper, and with that arm that was still intact, he began to write hard, but Duke Webb wrote very slowly, as if he was still thinking about something while writing, it took him a full ten minutes to finish writing a letter that was no more than a piece of paper, and then handed it to Xiao Chen and said, "Your Excellency Xiao Chen, please take a look." ”

Xiao Chen took the letter and looked at it, only to see that the content written on it was mediocre, just a brief account of what happened to the duke himself, and asked the other party to prepare money to redeem him according to the usual conditions for nobles being captured in the war. It's just that the words are a little cumbersome, and some more obscure words are used.

"What does this mean?" Xiao Chen asked, believing that Duke Weber would not have made a special trip to let him see such a nonsense letter.

The Duke first called out a string of numbers, "Please select the words in the order of the numbers on each line, and then read this letter." ”

"Well, according to the meaning of this secret letter, you actually let your two sons come to us with their families?"

He handed the letter to Wang Jiyuan, who also looked at Duke Weber with wide eyes.

Xiao Chen said, "Is this serious?"

"Seriously, of course, this is an option I offer to my son, and I am sure that as soon as this letter reaches him, he should give the right answer. ”

Xiao Chen asked, "Why do you think your son would make such a choice?"

"I had just fallen in the air and saw the battle of the various troops on the ground, and the army led by Graham was slowly retreating at a very normal pace. However, there is a lot of problem here, not to mention how he behaved in this war, what will the emperor think. At least this slowness speaks to his own attitude, he no longer obeys the emperor's orders, and does not want to participate in the battle of the Tower of China at all. Duke Webb said.

"Even if what you say is true, it doesn't mean that he is really willing to give up his position in the empire and defect to our side. Xiao Chen said.

"Gram and Franco are both my sons, and no one knows them better than I do. Although Gram is a guy who doesn't talk much, he is very strong in action. Although Franco is the elder brother, he is very willing to listen to his younger brother's opinion. ”

Xiao Chen said: "But as your family, there should be a lot of people and a big foundation, right? There are many things that should not be able to leave the empire." When it comes to defecting to us, there may not be a consensus among your family, is it? I'm afraid it won't be easy for Frago and Gram to get everyone willing to come to us in that kind of environment. ”

"Your Excellency Xiao Chen, you have misunderstood. I didn't ask the whole family to come over, but I just asked my two sons to make this choice, and as for the others, it didn't matter what they chose. For bloodline nobles, where the purest bloodline is, the foundation of the family is there.

So as long as my two sons defect here, the Bright Lion family actually belongs to the Tower of China.

Just like the unicorn bloodline of the kingdom, it originally came from the empire, and there are branches of them on our side until now, but because the purest bloodline is on the kingdom's side. Everyone thinks that unicorns belong to the blood of the kingdom. ”

Xiao Chen said: "I didn't expect you to make such a determination. ”

Duke Webb said: "I have seen a lot of things through this war. From the aspects of organization, weapons, technology, and master training, it can be seen that although your strength is not as good as the empire now, it will not be long before the gap between the empire and you will be slowly flattened, and I can even imagine that in the near future, the empire will not be your opponent. So I feel like I've made a wise choice. ”
