"Found Captain Edson's troops. Aslan asked, looking up. After all, Edson's troops were stationed here, and Edson came back before them, and I don't know what happened to him there.

"No, we looked at the place where we had been stationed, and there was no trace of the soldiers of Fort Grammis there. "Through what the Lord said before, Handini already knew that the Lord was facing a desperate situation now.

"My lord, why don't we go back to Flying Sky City, we don't have any way here, not to mention that our Flying Sky City is located in the southernmost part of the empire, it is notoriously barren, so it shouldn't pay too much attention to us!"

Aslan shook his head, although this is only a coup d'état within the empire, but it has developed to this point, and it is no longer possible to put it out of it, as Handini said, no matter that prince comes to power, it will have no effect on him, but once the entire imperial power of the temple is different, it is only a matter of time.

"I've thought about what you think, but if the coup isn't a temple!"

"Then ......," Handini was about to say something, but was interrupted by a sudden noise.

"Report to my lord, a team has emerged from the forest on the flank, and we judge that this is Captain Edson's troops. A soldier ran over and reported.

"Captain Edson, let's go and see. Aslan hurriedly turned and walked in the direction the soldier had said.

Soon Aslan saw a group of soldiers looking a little embarrassed at the bottom of a small hill, and the marks on their bodies indicated that they had just experienced a fierce battle.

"Aslan, it's really good that you're okay, how did you rush back, it seems that you went through a terrible battle. Edson looked at Aslan in surprise, the black armor on Edson's body was covered with blood, but there were no scars, these blood stains should be the enemy's.

Aslan hugged Edson in surprise: "Captain Edson, it's really good that you're okay, I solved those pursuers, and I took Axin City in one go, and I came to you non-stop." I'm worried about what you're going to do!"

Edson's face showed a hint of anger and sadness, he took off his helmet, sat on the ground and whispered, "As soon as I came here, I saw that this place was completely chaotic, and those sudden troops and those who were the internal response together launched a killing of the imperial capital army and the army that was not on their side. I was lucky enough to find my troops, and I managed to escape with them, and now there are less than 500 people left, and the most important thing is that there is a serious shortage of food and grass. ”

Aslan shook his head helplessly: "In this situation, the army of the Great Prince has fallen into a predicament, if their army can't break out in time, then the Imperial Capital Army will face destruction." ”

"It's impossible, when we retreated, we saw a mage army, it should be Duke Caldwell's troops, as long as they are blocked there, it will be difficult for Prince Astor to break through, and at the same time they will have to face the attack of Mister on the other side. Edson sighed.

"Then Captain Edson, what are you going to do next. Are you going back to Fort Grammies?" Aslan asked.

"No, I won't go back, and although I have only so many people left, I can still go to the army of the lords of the little princess who have been scattered and have not taken refuge. Now there is only hope if the attack on the troops blockaded by the Great Prince is organized from the outside, so that the passage to the south of the Broken Heaven Gorge is opened. And even if I secretly returned to Fort Grammis, and when the temple really took control of the empire, then the first to be swept away must be those of us who did not take refuge in them, I just don't understand, Duke Caldwell is not afraid that the Temple of Light will liquidate these surrendered lords and nobles when the time comes. Edson's fist clenched, and his eyes revealed a look of incomprehension and unwillingness.

Yes, the only thing that can save this situation now is to rely on an outside force to attack Princess Arafa's troops from the outside.

However, it would be difficult to do this with the troops here alone.

"Captain Edson, do you know the lord's nobility and territorial position that participated in the rebellion with the Duke of Caldwell?"

Edson naturally knew something about his old rival, nodded, took out a rudimentary map of the empire, and began to draw the Buck Duchy and the surrounding noble lords who participated in the rebellion, and soon everyone was shocked.

These lords who participated in the rebellion and the Duke of Caldwell happened to include the southwest region, and when they saw this, Aslan instantly understood that the Duke of Caldwell and they chose to compromise, and the area of the temple was assigned to the lords of Duke Caldwell, and the remaining Andra and Walky states were also assigned to the Duke of Caldwell, so that they could be independent from the territory of the White Transport Empire.

This area represents almost one-third of the territory of the empire, plus the rebellious Duke Mister, the entire empire is almost divided into half of the country, and the Temple of Light is a good way to play, strike a wave, and win over a wave.

Aslan's mind had a thought, and he looked in the direction of the imperial capital: "Captain Edson, let me ask you. Do you know how long the current food of the imperial capital army can be supported. ”

"Half a month. The army has a lot of food in stock, and if you subtract the casualties that will occur every day, plus a little planning, maybe they can last for a month!" Edson said suspiciously, seeing Aslan's expression.

"One month, that's enough!Maybe we really have a way to turn the tables!" Aslan smiled at the corner of his mouth.

"Turnover?" said the unfamiliar words out of Edson's mouth.

"Captain Edson, you don't believe me. Aslan turned his head and stared at Ederson with his eyes fixed on him.

"Huh?" Edson didn't take his back a little unexpectedly at Aslan's sudden question.

"I ask you, can you trust me!" Aslan repeated.

"Yes, although we haven't known each other for a long time, I believe in my ability to see people, and I can't be mistaken. Ederson confidently patted Aslan on the shoulder.

"Well, Captain Edson, how many troops do you have in Fort Graves. Aslan's breathing was getting a little heavier now.

"Fort Glamis? I can probably pull out two thousand troops, although there is a Marquis in charge, but we in Fort Gramis have to resist the gateway to the surface of the underworld head-on. Edson gritted his teeth and said.

"So, are there any trusted friends of the lords and nobles in your castle that can pull out the team?" Aslan continued.

"Yes, there are several. However, there should be less than 10,000 troops at most, and the combat effectiveness is not very strong. Edson thought for a moment and said.

Ten thousand!

He was not sure whether Marquis André would send troops when he learned of the situation here, and this was still what he said in a good direction.
