On the Seven Towers

Emperor Alfred is now on the highest highland in the middle of Heimuguan. This was the original city lord's palace and the headquarters when Shi Hao took over. It is now the emperor's palace.

A large number of Black Guard soldiers protected this high ground, and the most elite Imperial Guards were stationed below. The teleportation point set by Gandas and other mages was at this location. As the teleportation light lit up one by one, they appeared in a hall of the city lord's mansion.

Gandas's entire arm was burnt black due to the pain. As soon as he completed the teleportation, he hurriedly used his mental power to cut off the pain in his arm. He wiped the sweat from his head and took out a bottle of very luxurious-looking healing magic from the ring. I drank the whole bottle of medicine. The healing mages who had been waiting in the hall also rushed up and hurriedly cast healing magic on him.

Edel also completed the teleportation and walked to Gandas and said: "The methods of those Chinese are too weird. We were completely suppressed and beaten today. Those who have not teleported here are already in danger. Unless they can Rush to the Blessed Land in time to cast your magic, otherwise you may not be able to escape.”

"Hmph. Not only is it dangerous, they are already finished." Gandas watched as the blackened skin on his arms cracked, revealing new skin, "Just watch, there will be no new teleportation for this group of people in the future. . Without our cover, is it possible for them to launch teleportation under the eyes of the opponent's master? We have to face this fact, Edel, we have lost this battle of mages, and the whole battle is similar.

Did you notice the battlefield below? When we came back, all the legions sent by His Majesty had been routed. Those beasts may still have an advantage over the people of the Kingdom, but under the guns of the Chinese, there is no essential difference between them and the conscripted farmers. "

"I don't know what happened to Webber, Marcus and Stuart," Edel said.

"Do you think the army below would have retreated if they had not been defeated?" Gandas asked.

"If the situation has reached this point, then we should indeed prepare to retreat as Weber suggested." Edel said, "Just follow His Majesty's temper..."

"Your Majesty is very clear about the matter. He taught Webber a lesson before just to maintain his morale. But now, what else is there to say? Unless..." Gandas suddenly stopped talking.

"Do you think there is any chance of improvement?" Edel asked.

"My teacher, if Saint Silent Praise Morales can appear here, he may be able to make the opponent retreat," Gandas said.

"Over the years, there have been few precedents of saints participating in secular wars." Edel said, "After all, if a saint takes action against ordinary people, it will bring devastating results."

"That's because of the constraints of the Natural Temple and the balance reached between the saints. However, during this war, the Natural Temple has been quiet for a long time. And neither the kingdom nor the Chinese have any saints now. Maybe the teacher There will be other ideas..., you know there is no shortage of precedents in history for saints to slaughter cities and destroy countries." Gandas' arm has been treated, and thanks to the precious potion he just drank, he can now move freely. "However, it is not appropriate for me to ask the teacher for help in the battle. It is better to discuss this matter with His Majesty."

Gandas and Edel soon met Emperor Alfred in the council chamber. Franco, Gram, and Count Duane, who has the blood of the royal griffon, are all there.

Franco's two arms were also treated, but they are still splinted and bandaged and unable to fight. Gram was in good health, but he was standing in the middle of the hall, being scolded by Emperor Alfred.

"...What I am concerned about now is whether the battle is a matter of trying our best! If your army also suffered casualties, or you yourself were injured like your brother Franco, then I can accept your argument, but what now? Did you really try your best? I saw from the Mage's Eye that you and the opponent's master fought for a long time, but neither of them suffered any injuries. Afterwards, their pursuit was just a show. Why was he like this? Who? What did you say?"

Gram lowered his head and defended: "Your Majesty, that's just a scolding and taunting when calling for formation. I'm afraid that if I say it, it will only taint your ears. The opponent is a general with very good defense skills. My battle with him It was more about finding loopholes in each other, but until we lost several other ways, I couldn't break through the opponent's defense.

Our fight doesn't look that intense. But all the battles are real. Not many of us died in the battle. More than a dozen of the elite members of the family I led also died in the battle, and more than a hundred people in the Beast Breed Alliance died. If the other regiments had not been defeated and pursued, the casualties might have been at this level. It was only because the four masters in the middle suddenly disappeared that the troops in the middle suddenly collapsed and were chased and killed by the enemy, causing particularly heavy casualties. I myself was not seriously injured. In the end, I stabilized the front and reduced the casualties. "

"Haha, they say you are not good at words, but I see that you are very articulate when you defend yourself!" Emperor Alfred's tone was full of anger, "I am not blind, what is the status of an army? Fighting, I can see it! Since you are so weak in fighting, you should bear the final consequences! Seal Gram's bloodline and put him in prison."

"Your Majesty, please wait a moment." Voices came from the hall and the door.

The one who pleaded for Gram inside was naturally his brother Franco, and the voice at the door was Gandas.

Gandas walked quickly into the meeting room and said to Alfred: "Your Majesty, it doesn't make much sense to hold Gram accountable now. We have already lost several masters. If we lock Gram up at this time, it would be like stabbing a knife into yourself."

"Gandas, are you a loser crying for another loser?" Emperor Alfred said coldly, "Look at what you are fighting for. You people usually enjoy the tribute of the empire and have a noble status, but how do you behave in the face of real battles? What have you brought me these days except failure, failure and failure?"

"Your Majesty, the Chinese have hidden their strength too deeply." Edel said on the side, "Maybe our investment in the entire Western Front is not enough."

"Are you saying that my strategy is wrong?" Emperor Alfred said.

"No, Your Majesty! What we mean is that we need additional assistance." Gandas said.
