Chapter 572: Fighting Side by Side

Just as the orcs eliminated the gendarmerie stationed under the command platform and were about to ascend the spiral staircase, the sky of the command platform suddenly darkened, and everyone looked up in unison, only to see a sturdy figure jumping from the back of a bipedal wyvern in the air. Leo who fell from the sky www.biquge.info was like a savior born out of thin air, giving hope to the people on the command platform to survive.

"Your Royal Highness, get out of here in a two-legged wyvern!" Leo shouted to Prince Grantham without a pleasantry.

Leaving from the air in a bipedal wyvern is simply the best way to escape. Just as the staff officers were looking at the light of hope, Prince Grantham's words poured them cold on their hearts like a bucket of cold water: "No, I am the commander-in-chief of the fortress, and if even I escape, who else in the fortress will resist desperately?"

After speaking, His Royal Highness the Prince ordered in a loud voice: "Order! Everyone must fight to the death, but if there are those who flee and are cowardly, they will be killed!"

The prince's order made the staff officers anxious, and they all stepped forward to persuade: "Your Royal Highness, you are the pillar of the empire, if you make any mistakes here, it will be a loss for the empire!"

Prince Grantham said to his staff officers in a fierce voice: "If the fortress falls, it will be a loss for the empire and even the whole of humanity!"

Although he did not agree with His Royal Highness's decision, Leo was still moved by the Prince's righteousness and sacrifice.

"Well, since His Royal Highness is like this, then we will work together to defend our fortress!" Leo said with a vigorous nod.

Prince Grantham glanced at this nephew whom he had always admired with satisfaction, worthy of the blood of the Rudolph royal family, and Leo still showed extraordinary courage and ability at the critical moment.

"Rest assured, I have ordered my group of bipedal wyverns to guard the air to prevent a sneak attack by the eaglemen. In addition, my Hun legion has also left the city through the gate on the other side, and has rounded up to attack the orcs outside the city, slowing down their attack. Therefore, we only need to destroy these orcs that have infiltrated!" Leo had already discovered the orcs in advance, so naturally he would not be unprepared, and his series of arrangements made the people on the command platform feel reassured, and everyone was confident for a while.

The response arrangements that Leo said made Prince Grantham even more impressed with him. A prince who has the ability and courage to face the crisis and shows the bearing of command, such a prince is the best person to inherit the empire.

From this moment on, Prince Grantham's heart no longer insisted that Crown Prince Richy was the only heir to the empire, and in his eyes, Leo was fully capable and qualified to compete for the throne. If Crown Prince Rishi had known that his uncle, who had always been his staunchest supporter and the most vocal, had turned to Leo, he would have fainted in tears.

The wheezing and roaring of the canine orcs continued to be heard from the spiral staircase of the fortress's command platform, and Leo drew his sword at his waist while his left hand clenched the Arena of the Gods on his chest, ready to summon the hero in a critical moment.

In the eyes of Prince Grantham, this action of his was understood to be caused by the nervousness of the young man when he was about to fight, so His Royal Highness said to Leo kindly: "Don't be nervous, the terrain in the long ladder is narrow, and it will accommodate up to two orcs at a time, there is nothing to be afraid of, today our uncle and nephew are fighting side by side, it can be regarded as a good story! Maybe it will be spread all over the continent in the future!"

The prince's kindness and relief, Leo naturally understood, but he didn't intend to explain anything to the prince, just turned around and smiled at the prince, and then stared at Yongdao again.

Doug Greypaw led the way with his guards, trying to use his bravery to open up a space for his people to show. However, as soon as Doug Greypaw stepped out of the corridor, he immediately felt a piercing chill coming towards him. Frightened, Doug Greypaw hurriedly rolled sideways, barely flashing the cold light, and the guard who followed it immediately fell to the ground with a bloody streak on his neck.

There was such a skilled swordsman on this high platform, and Doug Greypaw's heart couldn't help but sink when he got up from the ground. Although their physical fitness far surpasses that of humans, orcs are not as sophisticated as humans in terms of swordsmanship, and most of them rely on their own physical strength to fight, but Doug Greypaw had seen the swordsmanship of a swordsman of the Leopard Clan many years ago, and the swordsmanship like a storm is still fresh in Doug's memory. However, having come here, Doug Greypaw will naturally not be intimidated by a human swordsman, and his own clan warriors are still pouring out, even if the human swordsman is strong, he is not stronger than hundreds of canine warriors!

With the fangs in his mouth, Doug Greyclaw pounced again, and this time, as he took off, he saw clearly that the other swordsman was nothing more than a noble young man about twenty years old. How good swordsmanship can be at such an age? Doug Greypaw couldn't help but regret his caution just now, and was almost frightened by the other party.

In embarrassment, Doug Greypaw's hands couldn't help but increase their strength, wanting to tear the other party apart with their claws.

After stabbing down several orcs one after another, Leo's heart calmed down a little, although the strength of the orcs was large and fast, but under his Kunlun swordsmanship, he did not have any backhand power, as long as he held this way, forgive those orcs would not be able to turn the sky.

At that moment, Leo saw a figure among the orcs rising into the air and lunging towards him. Leo's gaze froze, and he took the initiative to meet the other party without retreating, and the more this time, the more he couldn't dodge and get out of the way.

Just when Doug Greypaw saw that the human swordsman took the initiative to meet him, his claws opening and closing to tear the other party apart, his eyes involuntarily noticed the long sword in the other party's hand. I saw that Leo's body suddenly became shorter, and the sword in his hand was violently lifted upward, and with a move of 'raising fire and burning the sky', he stabbed towards Doug Grayclaw's chest and abdomen.

Doug Greypaw, who was in the air, was shocked when he saw this, and quickly turned around to avoid the sword. Thanks to the canine's agile and athletic body, it twisted ninety degrees in mid-air in time, and the long sword that had been stabbed in its chest was blocked by its left arm, which allowed Doug Greypaw to avoid the danger of disemboweling.

However, just as Doug Greypaw rolled over and landed behind Leo, and his right arm was about to attack from behind, a long sword passed through its chest, and a bright tip of the sword emerged from Doug Graypaw's chest.

Looking at Leo who turned around with a surprised face, Prince Grantham slowly withdrew his long sword and said, "Don't underestimate me, I was a famous swordsman in the Holy Griffin Empire back then!"
