Falkesen looked at his bloated figure, and had no idea of climbing up, just chattering at Ale below, and secretly snooping and studying Ale's exposed fur with magic weapons.

Anyway, it didn't hurt or itch, so Alel went with him, and even took the initiative to pull a handful of golden retrievers from his ass and threw it to him, so that Falkson could go back to the temple to study like a treasure, and also let Aliel take a safe nap.

In short, he really missed the days of being at ease in the Black Forest.

Fortunately, there were two little angels, Emma and Isabella, who could feel a little warmth and relaxation, and he loved to play with them, and he also liked the refreshments and all kinds of refrigerated canned fruit in the castle, and it would have been better if the old lady named Jane hadn't always asked him to try on new clothes.

With the arrival of the third batch of reinforcements, the steppe people outside the defense line seem to have lost their sharpness, the offensive is much weaker, the wounded are also returning to the troops one after another, the recruits are no longer quails who tremble when they cut people and can't understand the commander's orders, and the city of Veradi in the center is also constantly retraining recruits to try to counterattack Brando.

Reinforcements from the imperial capital had already crossed the southeastern border.

Even the mid-tier cities of Ferretti City and Nopua temporarily blocked the steppe people's military peaks, attacking and defending each other with the steppe people under the city and in the field, covering most of the people to flee to the nearby towns.

The two second-line divisions that were supposed to be assigned to Vila Di were scattered into these large towns because of the destruction of the railway line, and assisted them in resisting the harassment and attacks of the steppes.

Although the sacrifices are heavy, everything seems to be going in a good direction, and as long as the current situation is maintained, it will wait until the day of the counteroffensive.

But it turns out that life never goes the way we expected or expected it.

When Philip had just finished reorganizing the new Magans and had not yet had time to find a chance to take Sophia, he heard bad news from Brad and received new orders.

Shockingly, in Brando City, which had been trapped but not killed, the intercom of the only remaining Brando Temple suddenly lost contact.

The last news received was that the steppe people had attacked the temple.

On December 9th, the Shrine, which had not made any moves, was furious, and the Sanctuary announced the crimes of the steppe people to the whole continent and issued a call for holy war.

The Southern Temple and Imperial Capital Temple Headquarters sent out the Knights of the Templars, led by Holy Knights and Paladins, from both the north and the south.

The nearest 1,000 Templar Knights in Villadi City, and the 20,000 Anne Knights led by the Green Goblin Knights, broke through the blockade of the steppe people and fought all the way to Brando.

The railway had long been sabotaged by the steppe people, and when they routed the 300,000 steppe people trapped outside the city, they found that they had not seen any large army of steppe people along the way.

Until the next morning, when they arrived outside Brando, the smoke had not cleared and the shouting continued.

Two of the three castles have been burned, except for the Silver Serpent Castle, which has not yet been breached, and the Temple of Brandor City is in ruins.

It was filled with corpses of all kinds, from steppe people, wounded soldiers who fought desperately, Templar knights, priests, and ordinary people who had taken refuge here.

The dense corpses almost filled the entire temple, and you can imagine the tragic situation of the battle at that time.

Although Anne did not enter the core area of the temple after the polite refusal of the paladin Jacques of the Temple of Viradis, the shattered soul tablets and the striking pit in the center of the collapsed altar could already be seen from the outside.

On the premise of ensuring safety, Wesley, Chuck and the others sped up the speed of the train and arrived at the big town called Boiling Water half a day early.

Without any suspense, the steppe people, who had already lost twenty or thirty thousand troops under the walls of the town, began to flee in confusion when they saw them from a distance, but they were stopped by Horps and Boris in a shallow valley.

With almost no much effort, more than 50,000 steppe wolves were cut into parts by the angry soldiers of Gaokan City, and the dense corpses were scattered all over the river valley.

As if stimulated by the murderous practices of the steppe people, this team, which was mainly composed of young officers and soldiers, once again built the Beijing crown.

Then they divided into two routes, the two teams with a radius of 100 kilometers, all the way to continue the exploration, set up a cordon, all the way to recover, in the area under the jurisdiction to find and clear the scattered grassland people.

They also just learned about the tragedy in Brando, and while they were heartbroken, they were also entangled in the dispatch of troops from the temple.

On the one hand, as Imperial soldiers, they hope to have the opportunity to pay for their debts with their own blood, and in their opinion, if the Temple had acted earlier, this tragedy could have been avoided.

In a sense, although the temple does not seem to have done anything wrong, it is still to blame.

What's more, after the recovery of Gokan City and Brando City, the overall situation has stabilized, and victory is only a matter of time.

On the other hand, they knew that with their current forces, they were completely unable to participate in the final clearance, and it was already their greatest ability to hold the perimeter of Gaokan City.

The only two remaining military cities could only silently accumulate strength, while hoping that reinforcements from the imperial capital and the southeastern capital could arrive as soon as possible.

They who were busy probably wouldn't have imagined that just over a thousand kilometers away from them, a farce was being staged in the central temporary defense line.

Ron, the eldest son of the Levinson family in Carroste, the capital of the Southeastern Province, was wearing the bright and gorgeous armor under the service of a group of guards, which not only had a beautiful outline of gold decoration, but also innovatively stamped a lot of exquisite patterns and lines, and with the blue cloak woven from the fluff of the beast, the whole person looked majestic and extraordinary.

If Philip is allowed to see such a look, I am afraid that he will only use two words to evaluate it, that is: burning buns.

Not to mention that it is more appropriate to call the armor of such craftsmanship a work of art rather than a battle armor, and those meaningless decorations not only increase the weight of the armor, but also sacrifice the strength of the part, which is a typical representative of flashiness.

But what he didn't know was that in order to use more gold decoration, and to reduce the difficulty of the stamping process and increase the beauty of the pattern, the armor made considerable cuts and concessions in thickness.

But fortunately, everyone knows that this 'young hero' will not have the opportunity to fight in person.

Ron was just a 'genius' who barely reached the second level of awakening at the age of forty, and he was accompanied by a personal guard of 2,000 people and a staff committee of up to 30 people, which could not only protect his personal safety, but also make corresponding military deployments and decisions for him.

All he had to do was wear this set of sleek armor and make a regular circle around the barracks and city walls, and say a few impassioned words, even if the mission was completed, someone would naturally do the rest of the work for him.

In other words, Ron can play a role no different than a large mascot, all people need is his handsome face and surname, even his father, Imperial Marquis Perry Levinson.

Of course, Ron still has considerable merits, in addition to his handsome face, his voice is loud, full of energy, and he is also very eloquent, and he also won the honor of the best singer and dancer in the southeastern province when he was young.

So, Ron is very good at touring and speaking at work, and he is looking forward to it.

Even though he arrived at the city of Ferretti City, where the temporary line of defense was located, nearly six days later than his own division, he still put on his beloved armor and patrolled the city walls for half an hour as soon as possible.

Dino Bundchen, the lord of Ferretti City, stayed by his side, greeting as if he were also a member of the Levinson family.

But neither of them knew that their own names and even their family names would soon be associated with words such as shame, incompetence, ridiculousness, and sinners, and were destined to be recorded in the annals of the empire for thousands of years.

Of course, at this time, not only them, but even the people of the three major military cities would not think that a few million steppe people could break through the defense line of Ferretti City and Nopua City, which was mainly guarded by four elite divisions and two second-line divisions, with other scattered patchwork of 100,000 soldiers and civilians.

Even if these two cities were not designed and built according to the standards of military cities, when it comes to numbers, equipment and combat power, the Levinson family's Hurricane Legion is still famous in the entire Wardsman Empire, and it is second only to the Dragon Lance Legion in the Southeastern Province.

What's more, in addition to a direct division, Ferretti City is also stationed in another Hurricane Legion's subordinate title division, the Snow Bear Division.

The real presiding officer of Ferretti City was also a good friend of the Marquis of Levinson, the old and sturdy Snow Bear Cummins, who was known for his defensive steadiness and spiciness.

In the past two days, the old general and the steppe people have fought both offensively and defensively, and their style of work has been steady, which has greatly weakened the edge of the steppe people.

The miraculous reversal of Gaokan City has spread throughout the southeastern provinces in the past few days, and the names of Philip and Sophia are even more well-known, as if they have become the gods of war of the new generation of the empire.

Many people forget that one of these two young people is under the age of 18 and the other is not yet an adult.

In any case, having successively thwarted the plots of the steppes on the southern border and the defense line of the city of Gaokan, the balance of victory had begun to tilt in favor of the Empire.

Even the Marquis of Levinson didn't say anything on the surface, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, admitting that it was a miracle, a great victory, and reduced his pressure a lot.

That's why he ordered his son, who was lying in the rear and refused to leave, to be taken out of the actresses' dormitory and sent to Ferretti City overnight.

In his opinion, since the temple had been attacked, and the gap in Brando City had been plugged again, there was nothing to worry about in the defense of Ferretti City and Nopua City, and those stupid steppe people had made a big mistake and lost their way out.

Having become a lone army, they now need to think about how to return to the grassland and not be surrounded by the imperial army.
