"Shi Hao!" Huang Zheng saw that Shi Hao was killed by the other party, and his team was wiped out by the Black Emon, his mind was confused, the spell casting actually failed, and the out-of-control magical power hit his mind and body, making his injuries worse. Huang Zheng only felt dizzy, and was about to faint again.

At this time, he suddenly felt a lightness on his body, and the body that pressed on him seemed to be moved.

Then someone grabbed him by the calf and slowly dragged him into the corner.

Huang Zheng knew very well that this must not be an imperial person, so he didn't make a sound, and he still braced up his spirit, allowing himself to cooperate to avoid some obstacles on the ground.

By the time the man dragged him to a corner of the house where he could avoid the Blackguards, a soul link connected to his consciousness.

"Old Huang, Huang Zheng, Huang Zheng! Can you hear me? I am Ma Guoming, the commander of the second battalion. You have to hold on now, I'll get out with you. ”

"Ma Mingguo?" Huang Zheng looked at the familiar man in front of him with half-open eyes, and suddenly felt a sour nose, he forcibly held back his emotions and said, "You, you were originally in charge of the city wall." ”

"yes. Lao Huang, I don't have time to say more now, I'll carry you on my back and go south first. After Ma Mingguo finished speaking, Huang Zheng felt that he had been carried by someone, and then walked quickly towards a path on the edge of Heimu Pass.

"What's the situation now?" asked Huang Zheng as he leaned on Ma Mingguo's back.

"We fought fiercely with the Imperial people at the head of the city before, although we suffered heavy losses, but we also killed a lot of enemy mages, just now, when I decided to fight to the end, I received an order from Commander Shi to retreat. We retreated to the bottom, and I wanted to take a look at the enemy's movements near the main battlefield, but I didn't expect to encounter the scene where Commander Shi left. At that time, after he said that he would break it, I felt that it was inappropriate, alas, ......" Ma Mingguo's tone was full of sadness.

"What is your situation, how many people have been withdrawn from the second battalion?" asked Huang Zheng.

"It's only half, it's only half! Half of them have died, they're all good guys! Ma Mingguo sighed, "The people who can evacuate have gone south from this corridor in the east, and the cannons are destroyed if they can't take them away, but fortunately, Zhang Hong led a group of people to find this passage where there are no imperial people in Kazakhstan at present, otherwise we would be ruined and trapped on the city wall." ”

"Zhang Hong, how could he be doing this?"

"I heard from the messenger that it was Zhang Hong who opened the communication array with Suero in time and reported the situation to Suero. It seems that he arranged this passage as a directive from Suero's side. I don't know, but he did save a lot of people on our walls. Even the retreat of many people below was organized by him. ”

"I remember...... Shi Hao sent someone to inform the communication station at the beginning. ”

Huang Zheng instinctively felt that something was wrong with this matter, but he was too seriously injured, and he had doubts about this matter entrenched in his mind, so he fell asleep on Ma Guoming's back.

When he woke up, he found that they were already outside the moat on the south side of Kuroki Pass.

"Hurry, the seriously injured get into the car first. Huang Zheng heard someone shouting like this. Several crystal carts were parked outside the gate, and Ma Mingde sent Huang Zheng to a car equipped with a healing mage and put him on a makeshift simple bed, "Old Huang, you have to hold on! I just saw your battalion, and a lot of people have been withdrawn." I'm going back to my second battalion too. They're a little distracted now, and I'll have to keep an eye on them. ”

Huang Zheng tilted his head sideways and watched Ma Guoming leave in a hurry. He suddenly remembered that when he got on the bus, he vaguely saw a familiar back standing in front of the iron bridge at the south gate. He said to the mage on the crystal cart, "Help me up." ”

"Battalion Commander Huang, you are seriously injured. The healer said.

"Help me up!" Huang Zheng insisted.

The mage couldn't resist him, so he had to help him up. Huang Zheng looked through the glass window of the crystal car and saw that it was Zhang Hong standing outside the bridge.

He was casting a spell there, first a corrosion spell that corroded the steel structure in the middle of the deck, and then a fireball exploded there, and the bridge snapped into two knots and crashed into the moat.

"This time it's thanks to Zhang Hong. If it weren't for him, our retreat would not have been so orderly, and the speed would have been much slower, and it would have been miserable if we were caught up by the Imperials behind. He even prepared these crystal cars. Otherwise, you seriously wounded will suffer. ”

"When you retreated, didn't the Imperials pursue you at all?"

"There was a pursuit, we withdrew to the south wall, and the enemy's beast legion caught up, however, Zhang Hong organized the first retreat team in advance to establish a defensive line in front of the south wall, and repelled the attack of the beast legion, as if our troops did not suffer too much loss. There was a hint of admiration in the mage's eyes.

"Only the beast legion is pursuing, and there are no black guards?" Huang Zheng asked.

"Maybe, but I don't see much. ”

"That's it!" Huang Zheng narrowed his eyes and whispered, he seemed to have lost interest in observing the outside, and lay down on his stomach, "Please help me take care of the wound." I feel like it's collapsing again. ”

————————————

An hour later, Emperor Alfred of the Purple Eagle Empire stood on the southern wall of Blackwood Pass, with Gandath and Lenit behind him.

Alfred said, "How many years have the empire finally taken this level. My father, my grandfather, my grandfather's grandfather, they all imagined standing here and looking at the kingdom from afar, but I was the only one who did it. ”

"This is inseparable from your wise decision-making and fearless courage, which in my opinion occupies a more important position in this operation. Gandas said.

The emperor said, "Hehe, the plan can be proposed by the ministers, but the courage must be owned by the monarch himself. That's what my predecessors are missing. ”

Morette hurried over, saluted on one knee in front of the emperor, and reported: "Your Majesty, our losses have been counted. ”

"Say!"

"The Black Guard sacrificed one hundred and fifteen people, of which thirty-eight were mages, forty-one were bloodline warriors, and the rest were vindictive warriors. ”

The emperor's eyebrows furrowed, and he said, "In other words, almost half of the Black Guards have been lost, and how many of the sacrifices are high-rank?"

"High-level, there are twenty-five high-level, fifty-eight middle-level, and the rest are low-level. Morlett said.

The emperor asked, "The losses of the high-level are actually more than half?"

"Yes, yes. ”

"How many of the rest of the people are injured. ”

"About half ......"

The emperor said, "It seems that I really underestimated them Chinese." These people were caught off guard by us. It's really a loss, and I don't know who wins and who loses. ”

Gandas said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be so pessimistic, after all, only we have achieved our strategic goal: to occupy Heimu Pass. We must have won this battle, and the most critical level on the continent is worth swapping for at any cost. ”

"Really?" the emperor stared into the distance, not knowing what was in his mind.
