Chapter 983

Compared with those local nobles, Earl Nichols believed in the judgment of the head of the guards more.

To be more precise, he believes that the army led by the Yong Ye Army does not have the ability to fly in the mountains, so it is impossible to pull out the strict surveillance network he has set up in the fault mountain range without a sound.

It is safe there now, at least for the next three or two days.

As long as they jump out from other mountain passes before this, they have a natural chance to escape.

"Block them, no matter what method you use, stop them."

"Gather in the direction of the mountain pass and use the dangerous terrain there to block them."

"Everyone, don't give up. It is only a small group of troops led by the Yong Ye army that infiltrated behind us. As long as we can block their first wave of attack, we will have a chance to recover. Before that, we must keep the mountain pass. "

Although Earl Nickles and the others made the decision to retreat from the Helen Pass, they absolutely couldn't say that when they issued orders.

Because once you say that, you will let out the last breath of the soldiers on the plateau and lose the courage to resist, and that is the defeat of the army.

If everyone gathered at the Helian Pass, they would be turned into canned sardines there, unable to advance or retreat, and no one could escape.

The natural barrier of Helian Mountain Pass is two-way. It can not only prevent the enemy from entering the Huayu Plateau, but also prevent the people from the Huayu Plateau from leaving the mountain.

"Damn it, do these bastards know we're coming out of the pass?"

"You guys really underestimate the instinct of people to run for their lives. They may not have our overall view, but when they are surrounded by enemies, they will instinctively go to the place with the fewest people. The dangerous mountain pass is undoubtedly a tortoise shell. "

When Earl Nichols waited for them to retreat to the Helian Pass, he was stunned to find that the narrow opening of the Helian Pass had already been crowded with rout soldiers, blocking the place tightly, making it impossible to advance or retreat, and they could be reached from a distance. Arguments were heard.

"Hurry up and open the mountain gate, we are going out of the mountain."

"Don't mess around, I have the duty to guard the mountain gate, how can the mountain gate be opened easily? What if the enemy takes the opportunity to come in?"

"The enemy has already killed us. Didn't you see that most of the barracks behind have been set on fire? What's the use of you still guarding a mountain gate here? I advise you to open the mountain gate as soon as possible and escape to the mountains with us Temporary shelter, maybe there is still a glimmer of life, no matter how late, none of us can escape, we have to be buried here for your mountain gate."

"If I do this, I will be dereliction of duty, and I will be beheaded afterwards. Besides, who knows if the riots in the back were caused by the camp roar. I warn you, don't get close. If you get close, I will kill you." Order to shoot arrows."

"If you shoot for me, you won't be afraid of causing public anger. Come on, everyone. This guy doesn't have the guts to kill his own people."

"Open the bow, let it go... this time is just a warning, if you dare to approach again, I will order someone to greet you."

"That bastard really dared to order to shoot us. Since you don't care about the friendship between brothers, then don't blame us for being rude. What are you waiting for? Copy the guy and prepare to rush forward. Just rush down the mountain pass and open The city gate, we have a chance to survive, otherwise everyone will die here."

"Everyone, don't mess around, don't mess around, it hasn't reached this level, we can't kill each other before the enemy has come, General Gulen, we know that you are dedicated to your duty, but it takes time to do your duty, The order given to you by the Earl is to defend against the enemy, not to prevent the brothers from going out of the mountain. Regardless of whether there is an enemy attack or a battalion screaming behind us, our exit is for temporary escape, to avoid the loss of our own soldiers, and for the overall situation. Consider it, General Gulen, please rest assured, if the Earl blames it afterwards, I will bear the responsibility."

"this……"

"If General Glenn is not at ease, I am willing to keep the battle flag of our Kling family as proof. The responsibility will be ours and has nothing to do with General Glenn."

"Count me in..."

"Count me in……"

"Well, let's take a step back. You go to the Earl for an order. As soon as the Earl's order arrives, I will immediately open the mountain gate and let you pass through. Otherwise, it is really difficult for me to obey."

"General Grant, you are playing tricks on us. Now that the chaos is like this, where are we going to find the Earl?"

"When we find the Earl, it is estimated that the enemy has also killed us, and everything will be too late by then."

General Ge Lan, who guarded the Helian Mountain Pass tonight, is a dedicated person. Although he discovered that there was a problem in the rear, he still faithfully performed his duties and was unwilling to open the mountain gate.

Such a dedicated person, in the past, everyone would give him a thumbs up. After all, there are such people, and they don't have to worry about the mountain pass being taken away easily.

But now, the local aristocrat headed by him yelled at him as a dead-brainer, and he didn't know what to do.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, don't hurry up and make way for the Earl."

"My lord, it's really my lord, what are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and make way for my lord, can you get out of this place?"

Earl Nicholas sent him to the door, which undoubtedly made the nobles and soldiers overjoyed. The crowded mountain pass forcibly split into a hole that could accommodate several people to pass through.

Escort Count Nicholas all the way to Helian Mountain Pass.

It's not that Earl Nichols has enjoyed this kind of treatment before, but this is the first time he has encountered a spontaneous and heartfelt greeting.

But at this moment, Earl Nicholas couldn't reveal the slightest joy, only deep sorrow.

At this moment, although Earl Nicholas didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that the Bryan family was over.

Although when they made their plan, in addition to defending the Helian Mountain Pass, there was a second plan of using the 300-kilometer territory between Huayu City and the Helian Mountain Pass to fortify the walls and clear the fields, and fight a war of attrition with the invaders.

But this premise is based on the fact that their main force is well preserved.

Even if they withdraw from the Helian Pass now, how many people will they have left when they come out again?

The dangerous road is not so easy to walk, and the enemy will not let them go so easily.

Without enough troops as a basis, no matter how perfect the plan is, it is just empty talk and a joke.

"Lord Earl." General Grant gave a military salute to Earl Nicholas.

"General Glenn, you have done a good job and have lived up to my trust in you." Earl Nicholas nodded at General Glenn, "But from now on, your mission has been completed. Unaware of the situation, it went around behind us. This mountain pass has lost its military value. If it continues to die here, it will become a Jedi and a grave for all of us, so I made a difficult decision , give up the Helian Mountain Pass, and take a detour home by the dangerous road.”

"The dangerous road?" General Ge Lan exclaimed, "That mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk. At the narrowest point, you have to turn your body sideways to pass. Not to mention, the mountain wind there is still strong, and if you are not careful, you will fall People are blown into the bottomless abyss, and there is no room for the army to come in and out."

"I know, but that has become our only choice." Earl Nicholas nodded heavily, "Open the mountain gate first and let them go there. I have already personally checked that it is not the camp behind, but the Night Raid, the main battle army led by the Eternal Night Army."

"Obey." General Glenn no longer had any reason to insist, and ordered loudly, "What are you waiting for, open the mountain gate, let the Earl, and let the brothers pass."

Click! Click!

Amidst the sound of the winch turning, the small gate of the Helian Mountain Pass slowly opened amid thousands of expectant eyes.

Everyone's tense faces couldn't help but relax a lot, leaving a trace of luck for the rest of their lives.

As long as the mountain gate is wide open, flee into the fault mountain range, and be broken into pieces, even if it is the main army led by the Yongye Army that rushes from behind, they will not be able to do anything to them.

"My lord, please." General Grant put on a gesture of invitation.

"General Grant, retreat with us!" Earl Niklus invited.

"If there are really enemies behind, I believe it won't take long for them to chase and kill them. It will take time for the Earl to lead people into the mountains to escape. Buy time, my lord." General Grant shook his head and refused.

"General Grant..." Earl Nichols couldn't help re-examining this vassal he had never liked.

Although the other party was born in a noble family, he was not good at communication and speech, coupled with his ugly face and rigid personality, he had never tried to please him. He never expected that he would be the one who was devoted to him at the critical moment.

General Grant showed a mouthful of white teeth that didn't match his dark face. "At a time like this, someone needs to be loyal to the homeland. The Earl will save his life and his name. I will guard the last door for the Earl..."

"Look, what's that?"

"It seems that something is flying in the air, and it is coming towards us..."

"What a big bird, how fast..."

There was another wave of uneasiness and commotion below.

I saw a huge figure rising from the rear and rushing towards them at a terrifying speed. Even the night, there was no way to block her brilliance.

Because the magic brilliance on her body is far beyond what ordinary magic combat skills can match.

In less than a dozen seconds, the opponent appeared directly above the Helian Mountain Pass. Seeing the opponent's appearance clearly, everyone couldn't help but gasped.

Because it was a magical giant tens of meters high, and the energy fluctuations emanating from his body, even the most insensitive people, could clearly feel that the other party was looking down at them with a cold and merciless gaze.

The situation in front of him has completely broken everyone's cognition, including those local nobles who think they are well-informed and knowledgeable, and they don't know how to explain the magic giant in front of them.

"Princess Sophilia? How is it possible?" Earl Nicholas exclaimed, and connected her with a living person at the first sight, and the shock was even worse.

next second.

The female magic giant hanging in mid-air, her chest and abdomen were wide open, and countless thick and long things, dragging long flames, spewed out and fell towards Helian Mountain Pass.

boom! boom! boom!

A series of landslides and explosions filled the entire Helian Pass.

In the next instant, this place turned into a hell on earth, with fiery magic flames burning fiercely everywhere.

In front of this violent explosion.

People are like rag dolls, being thrown around, even torn to pieces.

Those who were killed on the spot belonged to the lucky ones, because they hadn't felt too much pain yet, either their souls were annihilated, or their souls had been taken away by an invisible force.

Those who are really miserable are those who were not killed on the spot and fell into the sea of ​​​​hell.

These magic flames are like tarsal maggots, once they are splashed, no matter how frantically they roll on the ground, there is no way to extinguish them.

Soon, their burned skin will be torn apart, making them inhuman.

Count Nicholas was one of the lucky few who was neither killed on the spot nor devoured by the magical flames.

Instead, the air wave generated by the explosion directly hit the gate of the Helian Pass.

The mountain gate that was not completely blown down formed a narrow safe area.

"Why? Why? Since you have this kind of power, why don't you just bring it in front of the Grand Duke? As long as you get it in front of the Grand Duke, the Grand Duke will never have the guts to start a war with you..."

Although Earl Nichols is not dead, he has completely lost his soul. His whole body is like a broken puppet, his eyes are empty and dull, and he is muttering questions to himself. Princess Ya's magic giant, still asking herself.

He couldn't figure out why the leader of the Yong Ye Army didn't show it earlier, since he possessed such superhuman power.

This terrifying magic giant only needs to stop outside the castle of Grand Duke Christine in Huayu City, and doesn't even need the artillery attack just now.

Grand Duke Christine will surrender to the Eternal Night Army leader without hesitation, and there will be absolutely no second possibility.

Count Nichols has followed Grand Duke Christine for many years, and he knows that his king is not a strong-willed person.

The reason why they are actively preparing for the battle is because they think they have the hope of winning.

"The Yongye military leader not only wants the Huayu Plateau, but also wants a clean Huayu Plateau without the old ruling class. The Revolutionary Party is just a scalpel in their hands, a scalpel to cut off the old ruling class. Only by cutting off the old ruling class can they truly and completely control the Huayu Plateau..."

A voice could not be restrained from the depths of Count Nichols' mind.

It was the merchant Viscount Copperfield Gauld whom he had always looked down upon.

He had already reminded them a month ago.

They just listened as a joke.

Considering the situation in front of him, Count Nichols no longer thought it was just a threat or a joke.

Only by substituting this premise into it can I explain everything I know.
