At the end of the group, Graham and Franco, a little before them, was Count Duane, who had the blood of the royal griffin, this guy was a relatively marginal figure among the masters, he had no record of leading troops to fight, and his combat ability was relatively average, if it wasn't for the treatment of the plague, the emperor would not have transferred him to the front. Because of this, he didn't have the opportunity to play in this battle, but did the work of a senior guard by the emperor's side.

Further on, at the Emperor's side were Gandas and Eder, although Gandath summoned the Morales Sage this time, which directly led to this retreat, he was still one of the Emperor's most relied on advisers. Eder, who was born in the Black Guard, always followed the Emperor's close quarters.

Gram looked out at the narrow canyon ahead, and saw two torches lit above the cliff, which looked inconspicuous not far from the stronghold where the torches were also lit, but they were artificially shaking there. It was a signal to him.

He opened his mouth to speak, but no sound sounded, but Franko saw the movement of his brother's lips by the light of the soldiers around him, and naturally read what he was about to say.

Gramm was saying, "They're ready. ”

Franco nodded and raised a hand, followed by both the emperor's black guards and the elites of each family. Seeing this action, the elite warriors of the Bright Lion Family were all ready to fight, and put their weapons within reach. Then keep an eye on Franko, ready to act on his signals.

The previous Emperor Alfred was still talking to the two masters, Eder and Gandas, and the emperor was talking about the next plan: "This time I have to copy the same weapons as the Chinese, air guns, pneumatic guns, without these, our soldiers and Chinese will suffer too much to fight." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the samples we seized before have been shipped to the imperial capital, and yesterday those alchemists of the Imperial Alchemy Academy have obtained preliminary results, they have analyzed the Chinese inflatable magic formations, understood the basic principles, and then we can reproduce these formations ourselves as long as we can understand some details in the magic formation." ”

"Well, what about the manufacture of the metal parts of the cannon and the gun?" asked Emperor Alfred.

"Well, this part will take some time, the Chinese have never seen metal used, the alchemists have used other alternative materials, and it is no problem to make a cannon barrel, but the cost is too high." Gandath replied.

Emperor Alfred said, "We must speed up, those Chinese occupy Heimu Pass, and they will definitely be worried about our land." The battle that was not fought today will always be fought again. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Gandath replied.

"Eder, have the Chinese followed since we set off?" the emperor asked.

Edel stretched out his hand to summon a black guard, asked a few questions, and then said to the Emperor, "They have sent a cavalry force to follow us behind, and there is no one else." However, we also have the corresponding people at the back of the team to guard against them. ”

The emperor said, "Isn't there a magician secretly following us?"

"Nothing has been found at the moment. Eder replied.

"That's not going to work. If their master launches a surprise attack, the people at the end of our team will basically not be able to resist. Emperor Alfred turned to Gram and said, "Gram, take the elite of your family to the rear." Prevent the Chinese from pursuing us. ”

Both Graham and Franco were stunned, and their hearts couldn't help but get nervous, and they both wondered if the emperor had discovered something. Frank said: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, there is nothing more important than protecting your safety at present, originally if the Chinese front line had not occupied the teleportation array, you should have returned to the imperial capital." Now that our journey to the Holy Sword City is the most dangerous time for you, I think it's better to be careful. After all, with both of my arms wounded, Gram is the most combat-ready bloodline master in existence. ”

Graham also said: "Your Majesty, those people in the rear team are all inconsequential beast soldiers, our elites are all in the front, even if we are attacked, we have enough time to react." The rest of our masters are not as many as the other party, and if the six of us are separated again, it will be easy for the other party to use the numerical advantage to encircle and suppress us. On the contrary, as long as we are gathered together and have the most elite guards under us, we will not give the enemy any chance. ”

Emperor Alfred scolded: "Fool, if I don't want to maintain basic morale and save these soldiers, do I still need to go with you? Most of these soldiers have accepted the high-level bloodlines of various families, and there is not a lot of growth, as long as a month or two, new low-level bloodline warriors will appear among them! Moreover, we copied the weapons of the Chinese later, don't we need someone to operate them? Who made you think of the beast warriors so cheaply? We have already lost tens of thousands of soldiers, and if we do not save the strength at hand, how can we resist the attack of the Chinese when the time comes?"

Graham glanced at Frank, the other party shook his head slowly, and he had to say, "Yes, Your Majesty, then I will lead the team to the back." ”

He beckoned to the elite of the family in the line behind him, who had come out of the mixed ranks. Graham and Franko turned their horses and walked back, but as he and Franko crossed by on the wrong horse, they heard the other man whisper, "Drag it off, don't go too far, you'll be in that place soon." ”

Gramm answered, and slowly formed the team in place. As the Emperor walked on, Gram looked back at them, the light of the torch shining on his face, the unmarked face expressionless, but the hand that clung to the reins showed the surging anger he hidden.

When the emperor walked a little farther, Graham snorted lightly and let go of the reins, the look in his eyes was like looking at a cloud of garbage, he waved his hand to gather more than thirty knights around him and said, "That fool gave us a chance, I originally let you do it behind those black guards, and our forces are still very scattered." Now I've found a reason to put it all together. Let's grind here and don't move, now everyone starts to stimulate their own bloodlines, just move forward slowly, as long as the emperor's team in front of us is attacked, we will go straight to the past, don't care about anyone else on the road, just rush away from the guards around the emperor, you have to create an opportunity for me, let me screw off the emperor's head!"
