For most of the past month, Julian said that he was under a lot of pressure and wanted to take a break.

Anyway, this little baby can't be cheap, and he won't feel distressed about who he gives it to.

He told Bruce about the precautions and disappeared quickly, not knowing if he couldn't wait to tell Natasha the good news.

Originally, Philip wanted the Phantom to follow Sophia, after all, she was a noble princess, but Sophia, who knew the righteousness, refused.

The reason is that she attaches more importance to the safety of her lover or boyfriend, and as a commander who can't fight side by side with him on the front line, it's better to give this opportunity to others.

For example, Miss Afu is a good choice, which can both defend and output, and can also heal, which is simply the best support.

Philip also breathed a sigh of relief for this statement, and the rest is fine, the most important thing is that Afu is more eye-catching by her side.

And unlike the semi-domesticated Arthur, the phantom who still has charm is a truly wild legendary king, and people don't care whether you are a princess or not, whether your status is noble or not.

If it weren't for the fact that Afu had the BUFF of the goddess of the forest so that she could look up, others might be able to negotiate if they wanted to touch her, but if they wanted to ride her, they could only daydream.

Miss Sophia's empathy made Philip's love even more intense, and she couldn't help but show her a night view high in the sky, and let her know what a suffocating kiss was.

The 1,800 newly captured prairie people, Philip was not interested, and all of them were handed over to Albert to deal with, but he still had to go and see those under Murphy.

Aside from his ambitions, Murphy was smart, and there were plenty of reasons to grasp the hidden meaning of Philip's words.

After eliminating the wounded soldiers, more than 60,000 captives of the Holy Beast Tribe were left behind and divided into four places to be held.

The rest were taken in batches into several small valleys, filled with dead branches and a little oil.

It's not that there is no resistance, but it doesn't make any waves, and in the face of the vengeful Lunbo people, all their efforts can only be exchanged for more cruel revenge.

There is nothing fairer than giving back to others in his way.

"The people who participated in the massacre are all inside, and I have screened those who remained, and all the awakened ones have been singled out, and all of them are descendants loyal to the party.

Even Dang Sen himself helped a little, he was frightened and saved me a lot of things. Murphy gritted his teeth.

Philip looked at the prairie people in the valley who were cursing and trying to climb up, and said faintly, "Hehe, they are all smart people.

Let's start a fire. ”

Murphy waved his arm, and circled several small valleys, and countless rockets flew into the sky and fell again.

The fire is burning.

Although he was very relieved, looking at the hellish scene in the sea of fire and listening to the miserable shouts, Murphy still looked away, and just stood on a high place with Philip, until all the screams disappeared after dawn.

In the end, Philip said to Murphy: "You don't have to participate in the rest of the battle, and sort out your men well, especially those who remain in the camp on the Western Front."

The guys further west aren't going to be so idle, you're still busy.

In a few days, I will find a way to get you a batch of weapons and armor, enough to arm you with 10,000 men.

As for the steppe people who remained, let them help with the work first, they will be very busy for a while in the future.

The location of the base will be decided upon after Albert decides on the location of the outpost. ”

"I understand!" replied Murphy.

Before parting, Philip turned back to him and said, "It's impossible for the steppe people to win, keep those mouths around you shut."

The empire just took a nap, and the power after awakening is beyond your imagination.

What's more, there's a real monster that doesn't open its mouth, you know. ”

Murphy's cold sweat came out, and with the arrival of victory, more and more people seemed to have returned to their old habits, although it was just a sprout, and he suppressed it fiercely, but he didn't expect it to be known by Philip.

As for that monster, it is, of course, the temple.

Although I don't know what their calculations are, they won't go on like this forever, once that monster chooses to make a move, one or two million grassland people can't make too many waves at all.

It's just that now both the steppe people and the Ward people are waiting.

The Wardsmann Empire is also very conflicted, and he doesn't know whether to expect the temple's strong intervention.

On November 39, the whole army repaired for a day, allocated materials, treated the wounded, and repaired the city walls.

On 40 November, Philip led the Guards and three Maga regiments, along with Albert's two discontented teams, to target the Merlin Valley, where he heard the bad news from Brando.

On 1 December, after annihilating 20,000 men, they succeeded in blocking the northern entrance of the Merlin Valley.

At this time, there were less than 5,000 Axun regiments and 190,000 steppe warriors left in the Merlin Valley.

The mountain wards at the southern exit did not expend much strength, and apart from reinforcing 8,000 warriors to defend the mountain pass, they lost less than 1,000 troops in ten days.

Philip knew that this was understandable, and from the standpoint of the Alpine Wards, they were able to send troops in time, not only eliminating nearly 300,000 steppe people before and after, but also cutting off the road for steppe people reinforcements in one fell swoop, and also pinning down a group of Axun and 300,000 troops in the Merlin River Valley.

Not to mention those ordinary steppe people, if this 10,000-strong team appeared on the battlefield on the night of the decisive battle, it was likely that the outcome of the battle would have been rewritten before Philip had a chance to throw down the net.

Not only did they make the Wardsman Empire and the city of Gokan owe them a favor, but this favor was quite affordable, and no one could ask for more from them.

In the afternoon of the same day, the three Dang Sen's cronies who had sneaked into the Merlin River Valley avoided the Ah Xun group and found the commander of the Holy Beast Tribe here, that is, Dang Sen's own uncle.

After nightfall, Philip and Vladimir completely annihilated the remnants of the Achun regiment, the rest surrendered, the Merlin Valley was successfully recovered, and the entire defensive battle on the southern front ended smoothly.

That night, Philip threw all the finishing touches on Albert, and he and Sophia had more important things to do, leading their troops to the aid of Gokan City.

Because he had just received the news of the destruction of the dragon lance, the high-speed mobility of the steppe people had allowed them to enter the customs in just two days, and the number was still increasing.

After the first battle of the Green Ridge, an army of more than 2 million people went all the way south along the mountain road, forcing Gaokan City, and the specific number is still being verified, along the road there have been three towns and villages that have not had time to evacuate have been destroyed, and more than 30,000 people have been slaughtered.

If these more than 2 million people are not much different from the total strength of the steppe people in peacetime, Gaokan City can even settle the battle in the first outpost camp.

But for the current Gaokan City, it is an astronomical number, in addition to the more than 6,000 remnants and wounded generals brought back by Matthew, there are only 5,000 recruit regiments that have not yet completed their training and 3,000 personal guards led by Marquis No, with a total strength of less than 15,000 people.

And the even worse news is that the current acting division commander of the Rock Division, the son of the Marquis of No, who was just promoted to the Count of the Empire last year, Bedri sacrificed his life for the country.

On the orders of the Marquis of Nuo, he led 800 personal guards and 5,000 soldiers to ambush the southbound steppe people in Viper Canyon, 100 kilometers north of Gaokan City, trying to stop their southward speed.

Although he blocked the steppe people in the canyon for a whole night, he was unfortunately attacked by the elite Ah Xun regiment composed of all the third-level awakened people, covering more than 30 sores, and finally died of exhaustion.

The 800 personal guards were almost wiped out, and only more than 2,000 of the 5,000 soldiers remained, and they fled all the way.

In the end, they retreated to the mountains and used the steep terrain to temporarily resist the attack of the steppe people, but the steppe people did not fall in love with the battle, but rushed directly to Gaokan City.

Only one of the fourth-level awakened guards desperately snatched Bedley's body back, and after returning the body, he died of blood loss.

In this campaign, a total of more than 4,000 elite Axun people, 10,000 ordinary Axun people, and more than 50,000 other grassland people were eliminated, and it was confirmed that the total strength of this group of southbound steppe people may have reached 2.6 million.

This was the fifth division commander killed in the three major military cities of the Wardsmann Empire in the entire war, and it was also the first in Gaokan City.

The morale that had just been raised by the victory on the southern front was dimmed, and it is said that the Marquis of No, after seeing his son's body, did not say a word, but calmly arranged the aftermath and defense, and locked himself alone in his study for a whole hour.

Then he came out to continue to preside over the work, and he couldn't see any grief for the loss of his son in old age, and his waist was straight.

Only his adjutant noticed that the old man's right hand and leg were no longer very useful, and he had sat there all morning without moving.

Such a sacrifice is tragic, but it is worth it, with the entry of the steppe people, the first-level alert order has been activated, and large-scale evacuation and evacuation have begun.

Because of this extra night, the residents of all the villages and towns within 150 kilometers of the vicinity were evacuated to Gaokan City in time.

The rest of the villages and small towns that were a little farther away, with the exception of a few old people who were old and infirm and refused to leave their homeland, were successively evacuated to the twenty-one large towns in the vicinity.

Before leaving, they took every grain and even set fire to their own homes.

Among them is Philip's hometown of Lok Ma.

It's just that Philip, who is in a hurry at this time, doesn't know that he is having a headache about how to return to Gaokan City quickly.

I didn't expect Brando's City to fall so quickly, and I didn't expect the situation to take a sharp turn all the way, and Gaokan City became the target of the steppe people.

He also thought about whether to cross in the reverse direction from the Bishan Pass, imitate Huo Qubing in his previous life, and lead the Red Rose Knights to attack the rear of the grassland people.

As long as they take the city of Gaokan, they can pass through the entire city, get out of the city from the side of the barracks, and at the slowest in a day, they can sneak up on the eastern defense line from behind.

But now the train outside the Red Moon Pass has been taken to Gaokan City by Matthew, and has been deployed to other places to assist in the evacuation of the people.
