"Maslow, these artifacts are dead, and no matter how valuable they are, they are not worth the cost of your life. Come with me back to the Nolan Institute, where there are more ancient books for you to study. ”

Wayne said anxiously, he had been persuading for a long time, but he still didn't see Maslow loosen in the slightest.

Maslow sighed.

"Alas~ Count Nils, you don't have to persuade me anymore. My heart has been determined that I will not change again. ”

At this time, the herald hurriedly rushed through the door, and did not care about the three seven twenty-one inside.

"Count Nils, I'm afraid General Mars won't be able to hold out today, I hope you will evacuate as soon as possible. ”

Wayne frowned, turned to look at the herald.

"Do you know what the crime is to lie about the military situation? How can you not withstand it in a day, but I have assigned him a lot of grenades. And the Dragon's Breath Corps is still fifty miles away. He didn't know what the consequences would be if he withdrew. ”

The herald was half frightened to death by Wayne's violent reaction, but he still told the truth.

"The Magister flew straight into the sky and made a big hole in the walls of Keji, and General Mars couldn't resist it at all. I don't know what the other two cities are, but they don't know much better!"

Regardless of whether the Magister is so powerful or not, since Mars has sent someone to communicate, it means that the situation is very dangerous.

"Maslow, Maslow, if you don't leave, you won't have a chance. ”

Wayne almost roared.

Maslow was breezy and unfazed. Said lightly.

"Count Nils, you can go, I have your heart. I've been studying these antiquities all my life, and I can't live without them. My students have taken what I've learned all their lives to Nolan. I have no regrets. ”

The situation is critical, and Wayne wants to tie up this stubborn old man and take him away now, gritting his teeth, and finally brushing his sleeves away.

Now is not the time for hypocrisy, and being a hero is not what he should do as a leader.

The retreat had already been prepared, so Wayne could get into the prepared carriage when he went out. The train is better left to the Iron Shield Legion. From the Imperial Capital Academy to the city gate, thirty miles of road, all the way at a gallop.

In fact, before Wayne could withdraw, Mars had to abandon the city walls and turn to the city to fight. This does not mean a good thing, at this time the city dwellings are still low and narrow earthen houses, which are not suitable for concealment at all. Unlike the later cement cities with many high-rise buildings, you can basically use the terrain to fight guerrilla attacks with the enemy.

Therefore, what city battle is a joke, and the city wall is taken is equivalent to being besieged.

"The powder magazine is all blown up, don't leave the artillery. ”

Mars's face was covered in blood, and his armor was completely different from what it had been two hours earlier. The enemy is not only a magister, but also many great mages. Although Mars also has it, there is only one. If you use it brutely, you will be besieged by the enemy, so Mars has already told him to withdraw.

Now his only hope is that Wayne can leave early, so that he has no worries.

The most uncomfortable was Leon, Bens was the furthest from the imperial capital, and he had to cross a long blockade. Luckily there was no magician, and he happened to have horses with him. The cavalry of the Iron Shield Legion is undoubtedly the first of the four legions.

The gate slammed to the ground, sending up a puff of smoke. The cavalry inside was revealed, ready to go, without any pre-war declarations.

It was like a blocked torrent, pouring out all at once.

Stanley quickly reacted.

"Formation!"

The Lion and Tiger Legion had a good supply of soldiers, but the time was too short. The hastily formed infantry phalanx was able to protect itself from being disrupted.

The Iron Shield cavalry swept everything on the battlefield, pushed directly over, and easily tore apart the infantry phalanx.

Kill~

All faces are red, both sides are elites, no one on the battlefield is willing to shrug, meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!

The Lion and Tiger Legion was stacked layer upon layer to withstand the impact of the cavalry, and the cavalry without heavy armor was not afraid of the shining Changge.

The soldiers of the Lion and Tiger retreated at a speed visible to the naked eye, but someone would make up for it from behind, and death had become a matter of inconsequential importance. Stanley stared at the battlefield and ordered.

"Spare the cavalry, don't fight to the death. ”

The herald didn't ask why, but passed the order down as quickly as he could.

It's not that Stanley is not optimistic about his own corps, on the contrary, judging by the situation just now. He was quite sure that he would eat the force completely. The question is whether it's worth it or not.

At the beginning of the war, if you lose too much, you will hurt your vitality. Obviously, it will not be able to play a greater role in the subsequent battle, and even if it wins, the credit for its own share may be insignificant. He was well aware of the urine nature of those nobles, and after weighing it, letting go of this cavalry was the most powerful option for him and the Lion and Tiger Legion. 、

Leon thought he was going to be here today, and he himself admitted that he thought about the breakout too simply. Thinking of the Lion and Tiger Legion was too simple, the battle on the Eastern Front carried him a little carried away. However, before dying, you still have to damage the vitality of the Lion and Tiger Legion, otherwise you will be sorry for the title of the first cavalry of the empire.

At this time, the infantry that had been blocking gradually dispersed, giving way to escape with a weak defensive line. It was like a piece of paper, and Leon was mistaken for an enemy trap. But he obviously doesn't have much time to think about these eyeliner, and it's a death anyway, so it's better to give it a try.

Immediately adjust the direction of the attack and rush straight away.

With a simple charge, the Iron Shield Cavalry easily jumped out of the encirclement. The joy of the aftermath made them a little dazed.

Is this still the four great armies of the Empire?

But that didn't slow you down. Rode his horse and whipped away.

Leon, as a general, saw more than ordinary soldiers, and just had an obvious opportunity to annihilate himself, why didn't he do it. On the contrary, he let himself go. Meaningfully looked back.

Almost at the same time, as soon as Wayne was out of the Titan, Mars withdrew to Granichon Pass, and after joining up with another force, he stopped. Anxiously waiting for Lyon.

Bens is undoubtedly the most dangerous, and although he has a prepared horse, it does not mean that he can break through with his high-speed mobility. After all, the other party has murderous intentions.

Gradually, a black line appeared in the distance, and Mars immediately raised his telescope to observe. I was relieved to see the familiar military flag. Immediately ordered.

"Set up the bombs, and as soon as we withdraw, we will blow up the pass!"

Before Leon could rest yet, he followed Mars all the way. On the way, they chatted breathlessly.

"General Mars, I don't know what's wrong. Stanley dared to draw an entire corps to attack Bens. Nor is it afraid of a counterattack from the other two directions. ”

Mars naturally understood what Leon meant, why didn't he rush to help?
