Emperor Alfred is now on the highest high ground in the middle of Heimu Pass, which was the original city lord's mansion and the headquarters when Shi Hao took over here, and now it has been changed into the emperor's palace.

The heights are protected by a large number of Blackguards, and the most elite Janissaries are stationed below. The teleportation point set by Gandath and the other mages was in this location, and as the teleportation light lit up one by one, they all appeared in a hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

Gandath's entire arm was charred black, and as soon as he finished teleporting, he hurriedly used his mental power to cut off the pain in his arm, he wiped the sweat from his head, took out a bottle of very luxurious-looking healing potion from the ring, and poured the whole bottle down. The healing mages who were already waiting in this hall also rushed up and hurriedly cast healing spells on him.

Eder also completed the teleportation, walked to the side of Gandath and said, "Those Chinese's methods are too weird. We are completely pressed and beaten today. Those who haven't teleported now are already in danger. Unless they can reach the blessed land in time to cast their magic, they will not be able to escape. ”

"Hmph. Not to mention that it is very dangerous, they are finished. Gandas watched as the charred skin on his arm cracked, revealing new skin, "Look, there won't be any new teleportation after this group." Without our cover, could they launch a teleportation under the noses of the opposing masters?We have to face the fact that we have lost this mage battle, and the whole battle is about the same.

Have you noticed the battlefield below? By the time we returned, the legions sent by His Majesty had already been routed. Those beasts may still have an advantage in front of the people of the kingdom, but under the guns of the Chinese, they are not fundamentally different from those conscripted farmers. ”

"I don't know what happened to Webb, Marcus, and Stuart. Edel said.

"Do you think the army below would have retreated if they hadn't been defeated?" Gandath asked rhetorically.

"If the situation has reached this point, then we should indeed be ready to retreat, as Webb suggested. Edel said, "Just according to His Majesty's temper......"

"Your Majesty knows things very well in his heart. He had lectured Webb just to maintain morale. But what else is there to say now, unless ......" Gandath stopped talking suddenly.

"What do you think is going to turn around?" asked Eder.

"My teacher, if the Sage of Silent Praise Morales can show up here, maybe he will be able to make the other side retreat. Gandas said.

"There have been few precedents for the participation of saints in secular warfare over the years. Edel said, "After all, if the Sage were to do something to an ordinary person, it would have devastating results. ”

"That's because of the constraints of the Temple of Nature, and the balance between the Sages. However, in the midst of this war, the Temple of Nature has been quiet for a long time. And neither the kingdom nor the Chinese now has no sage, maybe the teacher will have other ideas...... , you know that there is no lack of precedents in history for the sage to slaughter cities and destroy countries. Gandath's arm has been healed, and thanks to the precious potion he just drunk, he is now able to move freely, "However, it is not appropriate for me to ask the teacher for help, so let's talk to Your Majesty about this." ”

Gandas and Eder soon met with Emperor Alfred in the council chamber. Franco, Gramm, and the Earl of Duane, who has the blood of a royal griffin, are all there.

Both of Franco's arms have also been treated, but he is currently strapped with splints and bandages, and is unable to fight at all. Gram was in fine health, but he was standing in the middle of the hall, scolded by Emperor Alfred.

“...... If your army has suffered casualties, or if you yourself have been wounded like your brother Franco, then I can accept your arguments, but now? Are you really doing your best? I see from the eyes of the mages that you fought with the other master's for a long time, but neither of them was hurt, and then their pursuit was just a show. Why is that? Who the hell is he? What did you say?"

Gramm lowered his head and argued, "Your Majesty, that's just a scolding and mockery when calling for battle. I'm afraid to say it, and I can only stain your ears. The other party is a general with very good defensive skills, and I fought with him more to find flaws in each other, but until the other defeats, I did not break through the opponent's defense.

Our battle doesn't look that intense. But all the battles are real. The number of people we died in the battle was not small, and the elite of the clan I led also killed more than a dozen people, and the beast wing even killed more than a hundred. If the other wings had not been routed and pursued, casualties would have been at this level. It was only because the four masters in the middle suddenly disappeared that the troops in the middle suddenly collapsed and were pursued and killed by the enemy, and the casualties were particularly heavy. I myself was not seriously injured, and I was able to reduce my casualties by stabilizing the line. ”

"Hehe, they all say that you are not good at words, but I see that you are very articulate when you defend yourself!" Emperor Alfred's tone was full of anger, "I am not blind, I can see what state an army is fighting in! Since you are so weak in battle, you should naturally bear the final consequences." Seal Gramm's bloodline and put him in prison. ”

"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. Voices were heard from the halls and from the doorways.

It was naturally his brother Franco who interceded with Gramm, and the voice at the door was Gandas.

Gandath walked quickly to the council chamber and said to Alfred, "Your Majesty, it doesn't make much sense to hold Gramm accountable now. We've lost a number of masters, and locking Graham up at this time would be like stabbing yourself with a knife. ”

"Gandath, are you a defeated dog wailing for another defeated dog?" Emperor Alfred said coldly, "Look at what you are all fighting, you people usually enjoy the worship of the empire and have a noble status, but in the face of real battles, how do you behave?

"Your Majesty, the hidden strength of the Chinese is too deep. "Maybe we're not investing enough on the entire Western Front." ”

"You're saying my strategy was wrong?" said Emperor Alfred.

"No, Your Majesty! we mean, additional assistance is needed. Gandas said.
