The Southern Army's encirclement of the Valley Pass was clearly showing signs of loosening, and in Eyre's view, this was a sign of his own death. However, from the perspective of the commander of the Southern Army, this is not a tactic to put psychological pressure on the defenders. With the fall of Isttalon and the Locke family, the army left behind in the Valley Pass is now a lone army, and the soldiers inside and outside the city walls are well aware of this cruel fact.

El ordered Timmy to gather his troops to meet him, and he himself still led Palanti and Renard to the valley pass. The guards of the Southern Army were so lax that they had wasted their mental preparations. They only symbolically arranged a few sentry posts at the gate of the camp, and El took two people, found a dark corner, and easily passed through the camp, without even encountering a single soldier who was on vigil, and came to the city of the river valley in such a grand manner.

To El's relief, the walls of the pass were still brightly lit and the footsteps of the sentries could be clearly heard, even though the troops might no longer be interested in fighting, but they still maintained the military qualities of Istalen.

"Your Excellency, General, we ...... Knock on the door?" Renard and El looked up at the battlements of the city wall together, he twisted his neck, feeling the injuries on his body, and couldn't help but feel a little weak. Of course, it is impossible to call the door openly at this time, but it is difficult for him to climb the city wall with his bare hands now.

"Palanti and I went up first, and then they put the rope down. El said helplessly, he had always been a loner before, and then he was accompanied by Palanti, the strength of the Lori Knight was about the same as his own, and he was also an agile warrior, so he was more handy to use.

Although Timmy is dexterous, he also has this one advantage, and the strength of the bronze upper position can indeed be alone among ordinary warriors, but it is a bit cumbersome to put it by his side. Most of the time, Elle just put him in charge of the Queen.

Renard is also in the bronze position of personal strength, and may be slightly stronger than Timmy at his peak, but he has not participated in Istalen's regular army before, and only has experience commanding the family's private army. If he had to divide life and death on the battlefield, there was a good chance that he would fall under Timmy's sword. Besides, his current physical condition is not very optimistic, and in El's eyes, he is a burden to the human form.

However, the reason why El wanted Renard to come with him was not to count on his combat effectiveness. There are also hundreds of Locke family warriors brought over by Renard before, and they may have known the news of Renard's imprisonment and even murder. Only by bringing this guy himself can the combat effectiveness of this army be mobilized.

"I didn't think I'd end up in this place. Renard shook his head and smiled bitterly, throwing ropes from the city wall to pull people up is generally the way to treat enemy envoys in the defense of the city, with his identity, of course, he will feel humiliated, but at this time, there is no way to pay too much attention to it, so he can only improvise.

"Don't be so pessimistic, it's better to be alive than anything else. El tapped him on the shoulder, gave Palanti a look, and the two men strapped their weapons and climbed up the gap in the wall.

The walls of the Valley Pass were far less solid than those of Istalen, only two or three stories high, and the building materials were only ordinary mud and stone, which was not a problem for El and Palanti, and with their strength it was more like jumping up than climbing.

As soon as he raised his hand to grasp the battlements and turned over to climb the wall, El looked up and saw a group of soldiers on the night patrol walking in with torches. They also spotted El's figure almost at the same time, and immediately raised their weapons in their hands and shouted at the same time.

"Quiet! I'm my own!" El said with her hands hurriedly raised, and Palanti reacted faster than he did, as she flipped up from behind the group of soldiers, knocked out the soldiers who were about to shout "Enemy attack!" with a punch, and then crackled and knocked the others to the ground. Palantibière was much more experienced in how to negotiate with soldiers, and she knew that at this time the night watchmen would sound the alarm anyway, so she simply knocked out first.

The last soldier who looked like the leader of the captain was pressed to the ground by Palanti and covered her mouth, and she leaned into the soldier's ear and whispered, "Don't shout, it will alarm the southerners outside, we are soldiers from Isttalon, come to find your commander."

Of course, it is impossible to go to the trust of the soldiers, looking at his tense muscles, you can know that this guy still has not given up resistance, if he lets go of his mouth now, his first reaction will definitely be to wake up the defenders of the entire pass with a throat.

Then Palanti took out the lion's tooth horn and shook it in front of his eyes, a trick that was a trick for the Istalen, and the soldier's eyes suddenly relaxed, and at the same time gave up the useless struggle.

Palanti carefully let go of his hand, and the soldier suddenly got up, stared at her with burning eyes, and asked excitedly, "Are you the heir of the White Lion family?"

"There aren't many people left, soldiers. Palanti shook his head, cutting off the soldier's illusions. She walked up to El and turned back to the soldier and said, "This is the commander of our survivors, General El, please inform Your Excellency the Defense Commander of the River Valley Pass at once, and we will meet him immediately." ”

"Yes, sir!" the soldier was in awe when he saw the silver badge on El's chest. However, although he had already believed Palanti's statement in his heart, out of the quality and caution of the regular army, he still woke up his companion after saluting and "escorted" the two men down the wall.

El's sudden visit quickly alarmed the defenders of the city, and they didn't have to wait long before they saw two high-ranking officers in different uniforms approaching together.

"General El, we are really surprised by your arrival. Below is the current defense commander of the valley pass, Allet," the middle-aged officer in the Isttalon uniform cautiously examined the badge on El's chest, and then respectfully saluted El: "I'm sorry that we haven't been notified of the change in the top military of the Istalon side before, you seem to look very angry, only this badge is quite familiar to me." ”

"You have good eyesight, this is General Anderson's badge. El nodded and said, "If you want us to prove it, I think you should know who this young lady is." ”

"Miss Palanti, I have heard of your name, but I did not expect that you would inherit the lion's tooth horn in the end. Allet turned his head to look at Palanti, and his eyes were much kinder: "God forbid, what happened to Isttalon?"

"This is a long story, and now I am proving to you, in the name of the heir of the White Lion family, that the identity of General El is true and valid, that he was the last general to be promoted by Lord Antonio himself before the fall of Istaro. Palanti put away the lion's tooth horn and said solemnly to Arlet.

Although he has the status of the heir of Ixtalen, after his evacuation from Isttalen, Palanti has stood behind El and provided him with unconditional support.

"Mr. Allet, time is running out, so I'm going to get straight to the point. El glanced at the Locke family officer standing beside Arlet, and said to him, "We rescued Mr. Renard, he is now under the city, you must help pull him up." ”

"Thank you so much for saving Master Reynard!" The officer of the Locke family suddenly showed a look of surprise on his face, and he didn't bother to say more, nodded to Allett and ran up the wall.

After Renard was pulled up, the atmosphere between the two sides was truly harmonious. Allet led El's party to his command post and called in a medic to treat Renard's wounds, while the others were given a steaming glass of ale.

"This is the way it is now. El took a sip of his glass and said to Allet, "There are not many escapees, we still have six hundred warriors and a hundred horses, but there are nearly five thousand refugees with us. The vast majority of them are women and children, and most of them are military families. We wanted to take a break in the town of Lille, but we didn't expect such an amazing change to take place. ”

"It's all Mihaalen's son of a bitch!" Allett angrily slammed his fist on the table.

"We need help now, Arlet, the troops at Valle Pass are the last fully formed troops in Isttalon, and I hope to have your help. El looked Arlet in the eye and said earnestly: "Our brothers fought a glorious battle in Istalen, entrusting us with their wives, sisters, and children. But we now have nothing, no supplies and no protection. ”

"General El, you don't need to say any more, please tell us what to do directly?" Arlett stood up and patted his chest and said, "Mr. Renard has been rescued, we can use the power of the Locke family to fight off these southern girls!"

"Very good, but we can't just think about fighting, we have to protect what we have now, and the brothers can't afford to suffer any more losses. El nodded and said to Arlet, "Gather all your troops, and we will break out tonight and join the main army." Then come back and slowly deal with the southerners. ”

"No problem! let's give those a little color!" Allett smiled excitedly.

"The warriors of the Locke family are all at your disposal, General El. Reynard, who was sitting on the side bandaged, followed suit, pointing to the officer beside him and saying to El, "This is my adjutant Rosen, and from now on he will take the troops of the Locke family to obey all your orders." ”

In the middle of the night, the defenders of the river valley pass suddenly mobilized, but the southern army besieged outside the city was still immersed in sleep and knew nothing about it. (Go read OM) (Jiangsu.com)
