163: Chaos
"Anyway, I can't see through it, in short, now the imperial capital is constantly suspicious, and there are internal and external troubles in the Broken Sky Gorge, the only thing that can be said for sure is that the Temple of Light is one of the masterminds behind the scenes, and it is initially estimated that the temple has gathered the church guards of the entire empire, not to mention 200,000. Aslan spoke his analysis as he directed his team back.
"Then we have to hurry back, otherwise the 40,000 troops of the temple will copy the back of the imperial capital army. Edson said anxiously.
Aslan said with a gloomy face, "Maybe it's too late. We're running out of time. ”
Stomp stomp
There was a burst of footsteps from the side of Axin City, and I saw that about 1,500 soldiers were chasing this side, including 200 cavalry.
"It's not good, if it goes on like this, we will catch up sooner or later. Edson said worriedly.
Aslan saw that his troops had crossed the stone bridge over the river, and he suddenly shouted: "Zoros, give me orders, and prepare to meet the enemy here on this bridge." ”
"Yes. "Zoros received the order and immediately began to order the soldiers to build an urgent defensive line here.
"Aslan, we only have more than a hundred people, and it is impossible for us to resist the other party's more than 1,500 pursuers. Ederson reminded Aslan.
"I know, but they have cavalry, and even if we run as fast as we can, we can't outrun them, so I decided to fight them here, and you ride back with this captive, and if you have time, maybe you can catch up, and then you will bring someone to meet us. Aslan said the only way he could think of it.
Edson looked at Aslan's determined eyes, he knew that it was useless to say anything now, he nodded with difficulty: "Aslan, you must wait for me, definitely." If you really can't do it, you have to keep yourself safe and you can evacuate. ”
"I'll take care of it, you can get out of here. Aslan laughed.
"Take care!" Edson flicked his whip fiercely, and the captured soldier was escorted away by Edson's guards.
"Take care. Aslan turned over and dismounted, he actually felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart, maybe the imperial capital army had fallen into chaos, if you want to succeed in the internal and external attacks, internal should be absolutely essential.
But now I still have to think about the things in front of me.
Aslan shouted to Zoros, "Zoros, come here. Aslan said as he pulled out all the explosives packs he had stockpiled from the storage ring.
Zoros naturally knew about the fact that the magician had a storage ring, and he heard that a swordsman could also have it, but he had to be a great swordsman who had cultivated his fighting spirit.
Aslan looked at the stone bridge, although he had an explosives bag in his hand, but if the wooden bridge was okay, he could blow up the bridge, but this stone bridge, it was too difficult to destroy it through the explosives bag in his hand.
The chasing soldiers are getting closer and closer, and the only thing that makes Aslan feel relieved is that the strength of these temple protectors is really too poor, it may be that the empire deliberately suppressed them, so that the overall strength of these church guards is very poor, even if they are trained for a period of time later, they only form combat effectiveness, and they cannot become elite divisions.
Among the more than 1,000 people, Aslan is initially estimated to be less than 50 junior swordsmen, and there are no swordsmen, and there are few high-level swordsmen, which is Aslan's greatest confidence.
On his side, plus him, a master marksman, three swordsmen, more than a dozen senior swordsmen, hundreds of middle and junior swordsmen, and also occupy a favorable position, not to mention only 1,500 people, even if it is doubled, Aslan will dare to fight.
Aslan pulled out the sword at his waist, he looked in the direction of the imperial capital, now that the imperial capital is in chaos, I don't know if he will encounter danger when the number one under his command comes in the future.
Although he doesn't care about the throne at all, if the Baiyun Empire becomes the diocese of the Temple of Light, then his Flying City will be completely finished, the entire continent, the two empires occupied by the temple, only the nominal royal family, but not half of the nobles, the church priest is responsible for the control of local towns, this is why every emperor will be a nobleman, in terms of imperial power and divine power, as long as the nobles will have the same heart as the emperor, and the people are more towards the temple.
Therefore, he still hopes that the eldest prince can react as soon as possible.
Commander of the battalion of the Broken Sky Gorge.
A letter fell to the ground, and the face of the eldest prince Astor rarely showed an angry face, he looked at the map in front of him and said: "Now Carlos, the holy knight of the Temple of Light, has been leading the sudden appearance of 40,000 troops to attack our rear, and there has been news from the imperial capital, the imperial capital has also been controlled by the temple, and several other princes and fathers have been imprisoned, and he is also spreading rumors everywhere, saying that I planned these rebellions, and wanted to murder Princess Alpha and seize the throne in one fell swoop." ”
"It's messy, it's messy. These empires are in complete disarray. Your Majesty has also been arrested, how should we be good. An elderly minister shouted anxiously.
The captain of Duke Mister's personal guard, covered in blood, knelt on the ground, looking at the big tent that had become a mess, his heart was full of despair, could it be that the White Fortune Empire was really going to end?
The more he thought about it, the more sad the captain of the pro-guard team became, and his consciousness became more and more blurred, and finally his head was stuck on the ground, but unfortunately the big tent was already in a mess, and no one noticed that this guy who had lost too much blood and fainted to death.
"Report, there is an emergency military intelligence. At this time, a soldier ran directly in, if the prince would be furious in normal times, but now she can't care about these things.
"Say it quickly. ”
"The Duke of Caldwell and some of the other lords suddenly rebelled, and joined forces with the army of the temple to attack our army, and now our imperial capital army has all withdrawn to the valley, and some of the chaotic lords have also withdrawn. Almost 400,000 troops were blocked in the canyon. ”
"Commander, we must quickly order people to rush out. Otherwise, if we stay trapped here, we won't be able to last long. A veteran said anxiously.
"Order the army to the south to organize an attack at once, and the fortress to the north must hold on. We need to rush out of this place and rush back to the imperial capital before our food supplies are exhausted. ”
After the eldest prince gave the order, he glanced at the guy who had fainted to death, asked him to take him down to heal, and said: "Generals, please bring your elite to surround Arafa's military tent, and if necessary, I will allow you to kill Arafa, a slut." ”
"Yes!"
Astor stood quietly in front of the map, now this situation is too careless, although he also planned to take advantage of this rebellion to kill Alpha, but he never thought that Alpha would carry out such a big conspiracy, not even the position of the empress, he wanted to give away the entire empire.
"! you're dead. ”
