When Abraham and other Sanctuary powerhouses made a move, on the other side, Eretia and Susan, also escorted by more than a dozen griffin knights, landed on the small hill.

Watts, Stevenson, and Barnes Sr. had ugly faces.

They never dreamed that Abraham and the others would arrive here nearly a prayer time earlier, let alone that even Princess Erethia would come.

It was their decision to sit idly by and watch the Tomahawk Order. But this kind of thing is unspeakable.

Aristocracy has aristocratic rules.

Usually they do this, and no one will say anything. After all, everyone is aware of the Tomahawk Knights, but in fact is under the control of Donald. Neither Edward nor the orders of Safin, the commander of the military department, were as useful as a word from Donald.

Donald wants to preserve his strength, let alone stand by on the battlefield, and no one dares to question even if a Tomahawk knight does not appear.

However, if it was a war like the Abyss Demon Invasion that involved everyone, then even Donald had no right to interfere. After all, that's the enemy of almost all the nobility. In particular, the noble lords in the south of the empire who are directly facing the threat of demons will immediately become Donald's enemies.

In such a situation, Watts and others, who directly gave orders, would become the public enemies of the nobles.

If Abraham and the others had been half a day late, none of these problems would have existed.

Adolf, who was under siege, would never be able to survive half a prayer hour. Similarly, the thin second line of defense was unlikely to hold out until reinforcements arrived.

As soon as Adolf dies and the defense line is broken, the whole of Lulian will immediately erod. Most of the lords and generals of Lulian will die on the battlefield, and a few will be lost dogs, if they can escape. At that time, what else can they do. Accusing the Tomahawk Knights of not saving them in the face of death?

It's just ridiculous. This kind of lawsuit is just a back and forth. All the questions boil down to whether the commander's decision on the spot was correct - Adolf gave his life, and it is not clear who is right and who is wrong?

When the court argues. You can pretend to say something like "It's a pity that Adolf insisted on going his own way, otherwise, the loss would not have been so heavy".

Watts didn't even think about giving these people a chance to go to court.

The demon broke through the defense, how many people present could escape?

Ordinary soldiers fled, and their humble status did not play any role anyway. And the status has enough weight. Will he give those who can testify against him a chance to escape? Without the Tomahawk Knights, his own escort can kill them cleanly!

These were originally planned a long time ago, and the three of Watts were just waiting for the last minute to come.

But now, Adolf is not dead, the defense line is not broken, but the twelve sanctuaries have arrived. As a result, their situation immediately became awkward.

Seen Eretia appear. The three of them couldn't help but exchange a gloomy look.

Eretia jumped off the griffin and stared coldly at the three of them.

She is gentle and weak-hearted, kind-hearted, and rarely gets angry and quarrels with others. But at this moment, she couldn't suppress her anger.

"Why?" said Elethia as she walked up to Stevenson, "Mr. Stevenson, the Tomahawk Knights have been ordered to reinforce Lulian. I should be fighting alongside Archduke Adolf, but why do I see everyone fighting? And you stand by and stand still?"

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Stevenson's face.

However, with a cough and a glance from Watts beside him, he quickly returned to normal.

Stevenson is well aware that things have come to this point, and he has no choice but to go to the dark. There is no other way to go than to completely surrender to Donald.

At this time, any hesitation, for oneself, is not beneficial.

Stevenson was willing to listen to Watts. In addition to having defected to Donald a long time ago as an important pawn hidden in the Tomahawk Order, it was largely due to his judgment that the Lulian army had no chance in this battle.

This is a war that is doomed to failure.

10,000 years ago, demons invaded the Divine Continent and caused a catastrophe that is chilling to this day. On that occasion, the human race and the major intelligent races all united, and the super strong poured out of the nest and paid an extremely heavy price to drive the demon back into the abyss.

And this time, it was also a demonic invasion, but the strength of the human race was not even one percent of what it was back then.

Lulian was originally the weakest of the four major provinces of the Empire's five principalities. Coupled with the invasion of the Feilie Empire before, he was already exhausted after two years of war. Even if Adolf recruited a large number of strong men after the war and expanded the army. Even if these Lulian soldiers who have been baptized by war have indeed burst out with surprising combat effectiveness, the gap in strength is still too great.

With Lulian's current strength, it was impossible to stop the demonic invasion. And the reinforcements mobilized by the empire are still on their way here. Far water can't quench the thirst of the near. By the time they arrived, I'm afraid the Blood Sacrifice Passage would have evolved into a gate of hell long ago. What they will face will be an even larger demonic army.

At that time, where will the reinforcements come from?

Ten times more demons than there are now, and the demons will flood Lulian. Coupled with the appearance of twelfth-level demons and even thirteenth-level demons, not to mention the Southern Province, not to mention the Saint Soran Empire, even if the three major empires of the human race are united, I am afraid it will not help.

Because of this, Stevenson chose to refuse to carry out the royal will at this time, which is also tantamount to a de facto betrayal of Archduke Renault.

He didn't want to risk his life with Adolf.

If, on the other hand, he had saved the team in a doomed war, he would have done a great job in front of Donald.

As for what the situation of human beings was at that time and how to deal with demons, it was not something he considered. It's not that he doesn't want to think about it, but it's useless to think about it. It's like a man who sees a levee about to collapse, what can he do but run away to save his life?

When the sky falls, there is naturally a high top.

Thinking of this, Stevenson's heart fluttered. He said to Elethea, "Your Highness, why are you here?"

"It doesn't matter why I'm here," Ellecia Arrow Stevenson looked at him with more anger, "Mr. Stevenson, please answer my question. Could it be that this is an order given to you by the Duke of Renault?"

"Grand Duke Renault? Of course not. Stevenson smiled faintly, turned his head to a few henchmen beside him and said, "Your Highness has a golden body, and you shouldn't be in danger easily. Come and protect the princess ......"

"Yes!" Eight Tomahawk Knights rode over, surrounding Elethia and Susan in the middle.

"Stevenson!" said Susan, with her hand on the hilt of her sword, angrily, "what are you trying to do? Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

"What's the fuss?" said Watts, who interjected with a look of surprise beside him, "Miss Susan, Your Highness, Mr. Stevenson is also kind. You see, now that the demons have an absolute advantage, no one knows when they will break through the defenses. If you get hurt as a result, we can't explain it. ”

"I don't need you to explain to anyone," said Elethea, "I just need you to tell me why you didn't move?!"

"Your Highness Princess," Stevenson frowned, "is this a question? I didn't answer you, I just didn't want to embarrass you." ”

"What do you mean?" asked Susan as she stepped forward.

"What Stevenson means is that you can't control the princess!" Old Barno on the side looked cold and said, "Operational command is the authority of the commander in the army. Princess, although your status is noble, you have no right to interfere. ”

"You ......," Susan turned her angry gaze at Barnes & Noble.

She was about to speak, but was interrupted by Watts' soft, cold voice, "Marquis Barnes is right. The empire has been established for a hundred years, and there are laws and rules. Political and military affairs are naturally handled by ministers and generals in the army, and no one is allowed to point fingers. Otherwise......"

He raised his eyebrows, and there was a hint of mockery on his face: "Isn't it a mess for any cat or dog to rely on his identity and come to you and me?"

"You are presumptuous!" said Susan, who was already angry.

As Susan's battle ring shook, the sword was unsheathed. The dozen or so griffin knights and the tomahawk knights around them also moved.

There was a moment of tension...... WeChat public number ctao0202...... (To be continued.) )
