On the Seven Towers

Gram and Franco were at the end of the group, and a little ahead of them was Count Duane, who had the blood of the royal griffon. This guy was a relatively marginal figure among the masters and had never led troops in war. His record and combat ability were also relatively average. If it weren't for the treatment of the plague, the emperor would not transfer him to the front line. Because of this, he did not have a chance to appear in this battle, but worked as a senior guard beside the emperor.

Further forward, beside the emperor are Gandas and Edel. Although Gandas summoned Saint Morales this time, which directly led to the retreat, he is still one of the emperor's most relied upon staff. . Edel, who was born in the Black Guard, always stayed close to the emperor.

Gram looked at the narrow canyon ahead and saw two torches lit up above the cliff. These two torches were inconspicuous not far from the stronghold where the torches were also lit, but they were artificially swaying there. This was a signal sent to him.

He opened his mouth to speak to Franco, but no sound came out. However, Franco saw clearly the movements of his brother's lips through the firelight of the surrounding soldiers, and naturally read what he wanted to say.

Gram was saying, "They're ready."

Franco nodded and raised a hand. Following them were both the emperor's black guards and the elites of each family. When the elite warriors of the Bright Lion Family saw this action, they all prepared for battle and placed their weapons within easy reach. Then keep an eye on Franco, ready to act on his signal.

Emperor Alfred in front was still talking to the two masters Edel and Gandas. The emperor was talking about the next plan: "This time when I go back, I have to copy the same weapons as the Chinese, whether they are air guns or pneumatic guns. Regardless of artillery, without these, our soldiers would be at a huge disadvantage in fighting the Chinese. "

"Yes, Your Majesty, the samples we seized have been transported to the Imperial Capital. Yesterday, the alchemists at the Imperial Alchemy School have obtained preliminary results. They analyzed the Chinese inflatable magic circle and understood it. The basic principle is that as long as we can figure out some details in the formation, we can reproduce these formations ourselves. "

"Well, what about the manufacturing of guns and the metal parts of guns?" Emperor Alfred asked.

"Well, this part still needs some time. We have never seen the Chinese use metal. The alchemists have used other alternative materials. There is no problem making the barrel, but the cost is too high." Gandas answer.

Emperor Alfred said: "We must speed up. Those Chinese who occupy Heimuguan will definitely be thinking about our land. The battle that has not been fought today will have to be fought again one day."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Gandas responded.

"Edel, have the Chinese followed us since we set off?" the emperor asked.

Edel stretched out his hand to summon a black guard, asked a few questions, and then said to the emperor: "They sent a cavalry unit to follow us. Other than that, there are no other people. However, we also have corresponding people. Guard them at the back of the line."

The emperor asked: "Aren't there any magicians secretly following us?"

"Nothing has been found so far," Edel replied.

"This won't work. If their master launches a surprise attack, the people at the end of our team will basically have no ability to resist." Emperor Alfred turned around and said to Gram: "Gram, you go with the elite of your family. Stay at the back to prevent the Chinese from chasing us."

Gram and Franco were both stunned and couldn't help but feel nervous. They both wondered if the emperor had discovered something. Franco said: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, nothing is more important than protecting your safety at the moment. If the Chinese frontline had not occupied the teleportation array, you should have returned to the Imperial Capital. Now we are heading to the Holy Sword This road in the city is the most dangerous time for you, so I think it’s better to be careful. After all, Gram is the most capable bloodline master in existence even though my arms are injured.”

Gram also said: "Your Majesty, those people in the rear are all insignificant beast soldiers. Our elites are all in the front. Even if we are attacked, we will have enough time to react. Our remaining masters are not there in the first place. There are many opponents. If the six of us are separated, we will easily be surrounded and suppressed by the opponent's numerical advantage. On the contrary, as long as we gather together and bring the most elite guards, we will not give the enemy any chance. "

Emperor Alfred scolded: "Idiot, if I wasn't trying to maintain basic morale and save these soldiers, do I still need to go with you? Most of these soldiers have accepted the high-level blood of various families, and there are quite a few In just one or two months, there will be new low-level bloodline warriors among them! Moreover, after we copy the Chinese weapons, don’t we need someone to operate them? Who told you to think about beast warriors? So cheap? We have already lost tens of thousands of soldiers. If we don’t preserve the strength at hand, how will we resist the Chinese attack?”

Gram glanced at Franco, who slowly shook his head, and he could only say: "Yes, Your Majesty, then I will lead the team to the back."

He waved to the elite members of the family in the team behind him, and these people stepped out of the mixed team one after another. Gram and Franco turned their horses and walked back. However, when he and Franco passed by the wrong horse, they heard the other party say softly: "Hold it, don't go too far, we will reach that place soon." "

Gram responded and slowly formed a team on the spot. The emperor and his men continued to move forward. Gram looked back at them. The light of the surrounding torches shone on his face. There was no expression on his well-defined face, but the hand that tightly grasped the reins showed his hidden surging anger.

When the emperor walked a little further, Gram snorted and loosened the reins. The look in his eyes was like looking at a pile of garbage. He waved his hand to let the more than 30 knights around him gather around and said, "That idiot gave us an opportunity. I originally asked you to do it behind those black guards, and our forces were still scattered. Now we have found a reason to gather together. We will stay here and not move. Now everyone starts to stimulate their blood and move forward slowly. When the emperor's team in front is attacked, we will run straight over. Don't care about anyone else on the road. Just rush past the guards around the emperor. You have to create an opportunity for me to twist off the emperor's head!"
