Volume 1: The Fall of the King's Power Chapter 124: Out of the Camp

Russell and his companions felt that time was urgent, and after a while of deliberation they decided to disperse, and after each of them went to gather the lords and discuss the plan, they did not dare to delay the time, and hurried to the circle of the camp on horseback.

After receiving the order, the lord did not question the authenticity of the order, and followed the guidance of Russell and led the remnants of his subordinates to the gate of the camp.

Russell and his men rode around on their horses, and finally passed the order to most of the lords, and the Imperial Legion was regrouping at the call of the Empress.

When Russell returned to the previously agreed meeting point, the war horse he was riding was panting, and the corners of his mouth were oozing white foam, and it seemed that he couldn't support Russell's weight.

Russell hurriedly got off the horse's back, touched the mane of the war horse and comforted: "Good horse, this time has really worked hard for you." Alas, I don't know where my ashes have gone, it's not as docile as you!"

"Russell, we're back!" Russell heard the neighing of his horses behind him, and Russell followed the sound to look back, and it turned out to be Carlos and they had also come to the rendezvous.

"Have all the lords been notified?" asked Russell, looking at his tired companions.

Carter shook his hair and cleaned up the dust from running around and said, "We carefully searched every corner of the camp during the trip, as long as the lords we could see were notified, and many lords were killed in the attack just now, and the subordinates of these fallen lords were also notified to gather here. ”

Russell nodded and agreed: "That's good, the empress should also be here, let's go meet the empress and return the token to her!"

With that, the group pulled the war horse and walked to the empress.

At this time, Gladys, as the supreme commander of the corps, had already arrived at the assembly point. As the heart of the Legion, she had to be present in such a time of crisis in order to boost the morale of the Legionnaires.

Russell made his way through the noisy clearing to the heavily guarded Empress's quarters. The knights recognized the brave man who had saved their lives, and they all got out of the way for Russell to pass.

Russell walked over to the Empress and offered the token in both hands. Shani wanted to take the token, but Gladys waved her hand and took it back from Russell's hand.

Russell bowed to Gladyse and saluted, "Your Majesty, Russell has lived up to your orders and successfully spread your orders to every corner of the camp, and now the legions are almost complete!"

Gladyse smiled at Russell and said, "Russell, I initially believed that you could complete the task I gave you, you are really a brilliant knight, but it's a pity that I didn't get your assistance earlier!"

At this, Gladys remembered something and looked serious again, staring at the half-opened door with a heavy heart.

The craftsman who had gone to check the damage to the roulette wheel hurried over and whispered to Gladys: "Your Majesty, I have gone with a few apprentices to observe the condition of the roulette wheel. I'm sorry, but the roulette wheel is so damaged that I can't repair it in a short period of time. ”

Gladys looked at the gate without looking at the craftsman in front of her, and asked in a calm tone, "Then do you have a way to close the camp gate again?"

"This 。。。。。。 The craftsman was embarrassed when he heard this, but he still stubbornly said, "When the gate was first built, in order to prevent enemy attacks, a one-way bearing was built that could only be opened to the inside, and it would be impossible to close the gate. ”

With that, the craftsman's body trembled slightly, waiting for the empress's punishment.

Gladys sighed and said, "Go down, it's not your problem that the door can't be closed like this, and I won't blame you deliberately." ”

Relieved to hear that the Empress had forgiven their sins, the craftsman praised Her Majesty's kindness loudly, and walked out in disgrace after receiving permission.

Russell listened to her at the behest of Gladys, and after the craftsman stepped back, Gladys looked at Russell and said, "I'm afraid the gate of our camp can't be closed, and the choice now in front of the legion is either to go out to meet the battle, or to block the gate and hold the defense, I want to hear your opinion!"

Russell knew that the Empress was also struggling with how to deal with the impending Abyss and the Horde Alliance, and she knew that her ideas were different, and she wanted advice from him to help her decide.

Russell looked back at the door that was about to open, then at the noisy legionnaires, and stood still thinking for a moment before making a decision.

Russell gave his advice to the Empress, "Your Majesty, the Legion has lost a lot of troops after withstanding many attacks by the enemy, and the gate of the camp cannot be closed at all now, which means that the Legion has lost a barrier to hold, and we now know that the enemy's attack is unexpected, and we think that holding on here is a dead end!"

In addition, I have heard a saying in the past that offense is the best defense. We still have the advantage of our troops, even if we go out to fight the enemy, it will be beneficial to our army, so I suggest abandoning the camp and going out to meet the camp, this is our only life!"

Gladys heard Russell's heartfelt words and sat down in her chair for a long time in deep thought.

In Russell's eyes, Gladys's face was cloudy and uncertain, as if she was engaged in a psychological struggle. Eventually, her frown softened, as if she had made up her mind in her heart.

Gladys looked at Russell and nodded in response: "Just do as you say, our whole army will go out of the camp to meet the attack!"

Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy's army had not yet pressed the border, the empress hurriedly ordered the lords present to lead her army to slowly go out from the half-open gate.

Now that the Legion's cavalry units were completely wiped out and most of them were infantry, Gladys, after discussion, decided to choose the flat plain in front of the camp as the battlefield for the final battle!
