On the Seven Towers

Xiao Chen and his party have been walking behind Duke Stuart's team for more than half an hour. They were far behind the two groups of black guards. When they turned around, they realized that they were far away from Heimuguan. The Imperial people walked very fast, and everyone was running, as if they were marching in a hurry. Except for Xiao Chen, who was floating about a foot above the ground, the others had to run quickly to keep up with the opponent's team.

"This team is marching too fast. I don't know if the military situation in the north or the east is very urgent, which makes them so anxious. I think at this speed, they can pass through this mountain range in two days." Orr Garth said.

"Something's not right." Roger said suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Chen already felt that there was no point in following him like this, and wanted to retreat.

"Did you see how those black guards were panting?" Roger said.

"Yes. You can run..." Xiao Chen was startled when he said this, "You mean, they shouldn't be so tired?"

He flew to a higher place and found that in addition to the Black Guards cavalry and mages on horseback, there was also Duke Stuart and a dozen officers and personal guards around him. The other Black Guards were all panting like cattle. He looked like he could fall behind at any time, not like a powerful warrior who had experienced hundreds of battles.

It is said that the Black Guards are all elites with fighting spirit and blood. Even the physical conditions of low-level warriors are not inferior to those of the top athletes on earth. How could they become like this after running for half an hour? Besides, they should all stimulate their fighting spirit and bloodline a little to make the journey easier. How can there be such a sense of stumbling and rushing along with only legs?

"These people are not Black Guards, we were deceived!" Xiao Chen said as he fell to the ground.

"In that case, will there be problems with the Beast Legion?" Orgas said.

"Let me take a look." Xiao Chen released a mage's eye, and the invisible ball flew into the sky and quickly rushed towards the front of the team. Sure enough, although those people were wearing the unique red armor of the Wild Beast Legion, most of the people in the team could not see any animal signs at all, but the soldiers on both sides of the periphery did have scales and hair. Based on a row of eight to ten people, at most only one-fifth of this team is a true beast-type soldier.

"We were deceived! This is a fake main force!" Xiao Chen said.

"Why are they doing this? What do they want to do by gathering the Black Guards and Beast Breeds?" Evelin asked.

"Damn! Heimuguan!" Orgas looked back at Heimuguan, which was four or five kilometers away. The sky had not completely darkened yet. Under the ocher sky, Heimuguan looked very peaceful. Every other section of the wall to the north of Blackwood Pass has lighting magic that emits white light, making this level shine at night. The newly installed spar searchlights on the top of the level also cast light downwards. At least for now, everything is normal at Heimuguan and no problems have been found.

When Xiao Chen directed the mage's eye to fly over Duke Stuart again, a mage beside him suddenly raised his hand, and a magic missile flew and hit the invisible mage's eye. The overlooking scene in Xiao Chen's field of vision suddenly darkened, and he lost this observation point.

Then a knight beside the duke blew a trumpet, and all the marching troops stopped. Once the warriors who were running stopped, they fell to the ground exhausted.

Duke Stuart and the dozen or so guards around him turned their horses, drove away the fallen soldiers around them, and took a few steps closer to Xiao Chen's direction.

Xiao Chen said: "They found us! Get ready for battle!"

When they came to the end of the team, the mage next to Duke Stuart threw a ball of light towards Xiao Chen and the others. The ball of light exploded in front of them, and then a ripple swept over the invisible people. The invisible magic power was swept away one after another, and several people were exposed.

"Huh? Why are there seven people?" The mage said slightly surprised, "I admire them. They were able to hide from my heat detection magic and even hid three people."

The three people the mage was referring to were naturally Kona, Tasia and Elena. Xiao Chen is now becoming more and more proficient in casting spirit servants. This time, it only took less than three minutes to get ready for battle.

"It doesn't matter, Master Avellino, the more people the better, right? None of these people seem to be weak. By dragging them to this barren mountain, won't we create better opportunities for Master Gandas and the others? "?" Duke Stuart said with a smile.

"Stuart, old ghost. What tricks are you playing?" Orgas said in a deep voice.

"Hey, Orgas. Isn't it obvious?" Duke Stuart said: "You have fallen into a trap, a trap prepared by His Majesty Emperor Alfred for you. We have known for a long time that you will come to monitor us. During our withdrawal process, in order to deal with various unexpected situations, the people you sent must be experts. Based on my understanding of you, Olgas, over the years, you will definitely be tempted to come out and see for yourself. It’s not the first time for you to come here to observe our actions, isn’t it?”

"Humph, you do understand me." Orgas said.

"So we used a little trick to let ordinary soldiers pretend to be the main force of the empire, while the real main force had already sneaked into the mountains and forests near Heimuguan. We guessed that after you observed it for a while, you would tell the news that the main force had left. If it is transmitted back to Heimuguan, everyone in Heimuguan will feel relieved at this time. Isn't this a good time for a surprise attack?

Letting these rubbish run around can lead away several masters and make the enemy start to relax. This deal is worth doing. "

"He said so much to delay time!" Evelyn said.

Duke Stuart spread his hands and said, "You are too late. While we are talking, the action at Blackwood Pass has already begun."

As if in response to his words, Xiao Chen heard a whistling sound coming from behind.

He looked back and saw that the weather at Blackwood Pass had suddenly changed. It was snowing and windy at some point. "That's ice storm magic. Someone is attacking Blackwood Pass." Xiao Chen said.

Orgas said, "If you can conquer Blackwood Pass by leading out a few of us, it would be ridiculous. The strength of Blackwood Pass will not change because of the absence of one or two people. What's more, the main general of Blackwood Pass is still staying inside. Do you think you can take down the pass with those sneaky black guards and brainless beasts?"

"Then wait and see. "Stuart said, "If you turn around and leave now, you may still be able to see the moment when Heimuguan falls."

"You don't fight with us?" Xiao Chen had already prepared magic, but he didn't expect the other party to have no intention of fighting.

"I can't beat you. Only Avellino and I are your opponents here, and there are only a few of my ragtag troops who can stand straight now. I don't count on them. But you probably can't do anything to me. The battle between us may last for a long time, but you don't have time."

"He's right! Let's go! Don't waste time with him here. We have to go back as soon as possible. It's not that easy to take this guy down." Olgas said.

"Let's go!" Xiao Chen and his men retreated slowly and cautiously under the gaze of thousands of the other side.
