At the top of the Four Wolves Mountain, a female knight was looking at the giant fortifications under her feet.

It was rare that she was not wearing armor, her slender and upright figure was no longer concealed, her long silver hair fluttered with the wind on the top of the mountain, and none of the sergeants who came and went dared to look at her beautiful face.

She is the daughter of General Klee of the Third Legion of the Thorn Empire, Corey. She has just turned twenty-five years old, and she is not only a second-class knight, but also inherits her father's military talent and iron-fisted military methods.

This astonishing plan to attack the Femon Empire, use mountain soldiers to cross the Tedr Mountains, and quietly send an entire army of tens of thousands of people behind the enemy was planned by her.

At this time, the 1,000 knights of the pioneer battalion led by her, and the 3,000 elites of the mountain battalion, had successfully stepped onto the top of the mountain. On the cliff at the foot of the cliff is a huge staircase that tens of thousands of people have spent ten years to assemble and build. This staircase leads directly from across the Aeva River to the top of the mountain.

Now, as long as you find out the mountain road mentioned in the intelligence, the army can continue to sneak behind enemy lines from this passage. Clay thought so, then turned around and walked into the mountaintop tent that had been improvised half a day ago.

Ten minutes later, the military intelligence officer came in to report that she had spent a lot of money on the scouts she had built up from elven slaves, and all of them had been wiped out.

“...... The mountain soldiers had just sent back the news that all the seventeen elves in front of them had died, all of them were killed by the same powerful magic, and there were nearly a hundred corpses on the scene, all of whom seemed to be young students of the Fermont Empire. ”

Compared with the fall of the elven scouts, what shocked Ke Lei even more was that he was able to encounter enemy troops on this rarely visited mountain road.

Could it be that his plan has been discovered? No, there is no news on the dark line on the other side, and there is no contact on a daily basis.

After pondering for a moment, Ke Lei decisively ordered: "The mountain battalion is advancing at full speed and occupy the mountain road!"

"Pioneer Camp is ready to go!"

"Go and ask Master Arahand!"

By the time Corey's order came out, the Mountain Battalion had already met the Young Reserves.

To be precise, the mountain camp was in a dilemma after leaving behind hundreds of corpses under the fire of Donner and the magic apprentices.

Six hours later, when they received Corey's order, it was late at night.

The young army lit up the prepared pyre with small fireballs, illuminating the narrow path that was almost large enough for one person to pass through.

When the mountain soldiers launched a general attack, the children on the opposite side thought that the enemy would retreat as hard as they had during the day.

When most of the magic apprentices had exhausted the Divine Element, Donner's magic spear had been fired nearly a hundred times, and the enemy had killed more than 300 people and still rushed out one after another, they knew that this time, the opponent was going to move seriously.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Mino rushed out first, and after he swung his sword and slashed a mountain soldier off the cliff, he shouted: "Quisal ready!

Then Quisal also rushed out.

The passage next to the cliff, the exit was slightly wider, but there were only two people standing, and Mino had no intention of leaving after speaking, and continued to deal with the next mountain soldier who had just walked out of the passage.

Mountain soldiers are quick in their movements, skilled in coordination, and in terms of force alone, they are at most comparable to reserve knights, and in one-on-one situations, they are not at all opponents of formal knights.

After killing more than two dozen enemy soldiers in a row, Mino gave up a vacant seat to Quisar, and shouted as he retreated: "One by one, wheel battle!

Quisal also killed a dozen mountain soldiers before withdrawing, and then took the place of the reserve knight, only to kill two of them, and then the third enemy who followed him jumped off the cliff and died together.

Seeing this, Mino anxiously ordered: "Do what you can!

Subsequently, every mountain soldier who carefully walked out of the passage close to the cliff, when the entrance of the passage and the reserve knight on the opposite side fought, the next mountain soldier could only stick to the cliff, waiting for his comrades to be hacked to death and pushed off the cliff, or after being cut off the cliff and falling to death, before he could come out and face another warrior of the opposing side.

On the side of the youth army, it is basically a team arranged according to strength, after more than 30 wheel battles, the two sides begin to have their own victories and defeats, and from time to time there are reserve knights who are pushed off the cliff by the other side, at this time the mountain soldier can take the opportunity to grab another step, so that another companion can squeeze over from the edge of the cliff and fight the enemy together.

Once this situation occurs, in order to prevent the other party from seizing the passage entrance, Donner will shoot and shoot one person, so that the passage entrance is always in a one-on-one state. And his magic is slowly recovering.

The battle was fought in a strange and brutal way, and everyone who stood at the entrance of the passage was like standing on a dueling arena of life and death.

The only difference is that for the youth army, a loss is death, and a win can give up the dueling arena to another companion.

And for the enemy army, there is only one ending, it is nothing more than being killed by the first opponent, or by the second or third.

The war that is going on here, though quiet and orderly, is more brutal than the scene of tens of thousands of people fighting.

The passage that the two sides are fighting for has become the mouth of the demon that devours life.

And witnessing and participating in such a brutal battle scene is the most rigorous training for every young person present.

Half an hour later, a round of fighting ended, and the youth army lost twenty-three reserve knights, and the mountain soldiers on the opposite side lost more than two hundred men.

The ground at the exit of the passage was already covered with blood, and while Mino ordered Donner's fire to suppress it, he asked the fire magic apprentices to dry the ground, and the clever water magic apprentices immediately thought of a better idea, covering a small area closer to the enemy's passage with a layer of ice.

Then, in the second round, it was almost half an hour, and this time, the youth army lost another nine people, and nearly two hundred people were killed on the opposite side.

The layer of ice covered by the heart was melted by the fiery blood not long after, but even so, Mino, who was the first to appear, killed a few more people.

By the end of the two rounds, Downer had recovered nearly half of his Divine Element, and with the help of his firepower and the subsequent help of the Magic Apprentices, the Reserve Knights were able to rest for a longer period of time.

It was only then that these young people realized that the opposite side was really an elite unit.

Even if the average combat power is lower than that of your own side, after paying hundreds of lives in a row, you can still die so firmly.

If this army had not been blocked on this dangerous passage, but had encountered it on the hillside before, I am afraid that its side would have been completely wiped out.

However, now is clearly not the time to applaud the other party.

The third round of battles began quickly, followed by the fourth, and then the fifth...... After each round, the youth army was attritional, and the duration of each round became shorter and shorter.

Every time a companion was thrown off a cliff, Donner couldn't help but fire a few more shots to vent his anger and sadness.

Three hours later, at the end of the seventh round of fighting, half of the reserve knights of the youth army had been lost, and only sixty-seven remained.

The mountain army lost nearly 2,000 casualties, but it still had no intention of retreating.

The meat grinder-like battle continued.

In the eighth round, six people were killed in the youth army.

In the ninth round, seven people were killed.

Round 10, five people.

......

At dawn, I don't know how many rounds of battle had been going on, and on the side of the Youth Army, there were only six people left standing at the entrance of the passage.

Donner's Divine Element was only enough to fire two shots, and among the other magic apprentices, only Path and Wesley still used their magic from time to time.

I don't know how many enemies I've killed, but there are still enemies coming out of that passage. Almost everyone has the illusion that the other party can't be killed.

The blood that was constantly left behind at the mouth of the passage was dried by the fireball, and then covered with a layer of new blood, and after a few times, no one had rich magic to use to dry it.

The plasma was trampled like black mud, muddy and slippery, adding more uncertainty to the matchup.

Another reserve knight was dragged by the enemy and perished. Donner couldn't name the man, but he remembered that he was the third place in the Martial Arts Festival, and even remembered the satisfied smile on his face when he won the third or fourth place in the finals at the event.

Now, just over a month later, that fresh life may not have had time to share the joy of his success with his family, and he died in this valley that no one cares about.

When the enemy's sword strikes, you can't dodge......

Looking at the battle still going on at the exit of the passage, Donner suddenly felt his eyes moisten a little.

Those young children, none of them hid!

They knew the danger and knew that death might come at any time, but they all stood on the battlefield of life and death without hesitation!

None of them have yet advanced to knights, but each of them is a real knight.

Another reserve knight was cut down and fell off a cliff, and the reserve knight lined up behind him, whose strength was also close to exhaustion, was easily swept away by the enemy with the sword in his hand, and then the short knife pierced through his abdomen and out of his back. He simply threw down his sword, hugged the other party tightly, and rushed down the cliff.

Bang...... Bang...... Bang...... Donner fired three shots in quick succession, sending all three enemies off the cliff one after another.

Minoan stopped the last remaining reserve knight and stepped up to the entrance of the passage, waiting for the next enemy to appear.

The wait seems a little too long.

Everyone looked at the enemy exit that seemed to never run out.

No one, no one came out again.

Mino stood dumbfounded.

Quissar's sword was pointed, almost unsteady on his feet.

The other two reserve knights sat down on the ground at once.

Donner's gun was still aimed at the mouth of the passage, motionless.

The magic apprentices who were guarding behind finally couldn't help but let out sporadic cheers.

"Won...... We finally won......"

When the apprentices rushed to help them back, Mino's hand was still tightly gripping the sword until he sat down against the hillside.

At this time, someone suddenly shouted: "Roger!"

"I'm halfway there, but I still can't rest assured......," Roger's familiar voice sounded.

"Where have they gone?" asked Wesley.

"We went down the mountain overnight with torches, and before I came up, they had already arrived at the place where we had rested the night before. In another day and night, we should be able to descend the mountain. Roger said as he looked around, "What about the rest?"

No one answered him.

"What about the rest of them?!" Roger shouted.

"It's all sacrificed......" Donner said slowly.

"All dead?!" Roger stood there.

"You went down the mountain, didn't you have any accidents?" asked Donner casually.

"No......" Roger replied as he walked over to Donner.

"Didn't encounter any accidents?" Donner asked again, looking into Roger's eyes.

"No, why are you asking this?" Roger asked.

Donner suddenly raised the magic gun in his hand, aimed it at Roger's chest, and said coldly, "Don't come here!

Everyone was baffled by Donner's actions.

Roger asked embarrassedly, "Donner, what's wrong with you?" Mino, is Donner irritated?"

"Donner, why?" said Mino, his expression was a little confused.

"Roger, do as Donner says. Wesley's face slowly turned serious.

"Wesley, are you alright?" Roger said as he turned to Wesley.

"One more step, and I'll shoot!" Downer shouted.

Roger finally stood still, and after a little silence, he turned to Donner and asked, "Why?"

"With your sense of responsibility, you will definitely send the news down in person. Downer continued.

"I'm worried about your ......"

"Your father's army is in the barracks, so why would you stay in the barely effective youth army?" Donner's gun was still pointed at Roger.

"I am first and foremost a student at the Knight Academy. Are you suspicious of me because of this?"

"I asked you twice if there had been any accidents on the way down the mountain, and now I ask you again, and I really didn't encounter any accidents, not even a single beast?" replied Donner.

"There is no accident, they will be able to go down the mountain in one day and one night. Roger replied without thinking.

"You know, I looked at the blood all night, and the blood on the mouth of your scabbard is so obvious. Donner said coldly.

After listening to his words, everyone discovered that there were indeed obvious blood marks on Roger's scabbard.

Roger glanced down at his scabbard.

"Why are you talking so much when you saw it...... You're stalling for time!" Roger suddenly rushed towards Donner.

With a bang, Roger fell to the ground, his right leg almost snapped at the root.

"That's right, I'm stalling for time, my magic just ran out. Donner said with a blank face, "Now, you can tell me why." ”

“...... This war...... The Femon Empire has no chance...... I said it...... Envy of Richard...... Unrestrained...... I...... Clan...... Territory ......" Roger said on and on, finally passing out.

Wesley let out a long sigh.

"Those brothers who went down the mountain should have been killed by Roger, and no one sent the news down. Donner said to Mino.

Everyone had vaguely guessed this result, but it wasn't until Donner said it that there was a lament, there were too many dead people in this day and night.

"Send someone again!" replied Mino, firmly.

"Roger's father is a rebel, and this news must be brought down. Donner said slowly, "You all go, leave it to me here." ”

"How is this going to work!?" Mino, and Wesley blurted out almost at the same time. Then everyone responded.

"The way down the mountain is just as dangerous, and the Celtic Grand Guild has done everything to stop us from spreading the news. Only if there are enough people going down the mountain will it be possible to fight him. Donner gave his reasons.

"How does he know where to stop us?" asked Mino.

"It is impossible for the Thorn Empire to discover this mountain road on its own, it is likely that it is the news provided by the Celtic Grand Duke. Hurry down the mountain, it's too late. ”

Everyone looked at Donner, no one spoke, and no one acted.

"If you don't leave, those brothers will die in vain!" Donner shouted, "I said that going down the mountain might be more dangerous, why are you still standing stupidly, don't you dare to go down the mountain?"

"Okay, Donner stay, everyone follow me!" Mino's mind finally decided. From the decision before going up the mountain, to the fact that he had just recognized Roger, Donner gave him too many shocks. He thought about it again and decided to listen to Donner's advice.

"The news of the Celtic referendum can only be told by someone you trust absolutely!" said Donner.

Mino nodded in agreement, and then left with the group with Quisar.

Seeing that Wesley had no intention of leaving, Donner shouted, "Don't be like a woman, get out of here!"

Wesley smiled and sat down.

"It's useless to say anything, I'm not leaving. ”

Donner gave him a blank look, smiled helplessly, and stopped talking.

The two sat quietly, and the blood had solidified on the battlefield in front of them, which had been fought all night. At the foot of the cliff, more than 3,000 corpses were piled up into a mountain.

Right next to the two, a friend who once met to travel the world together has just died.
