Compared to those local nobles, Earl Nicholls trusted the judgment of the guard leader more.
To be more precise, he believed that the army led by the Yongye Army did not have the ability to fly in the mountains and could not silently remove the tight surveillance network he had set up in the Fault Mountains.
It's safe there now, and it will be safe for at least the next three or two days.
As long as they jump out from other mountain passes before this happens, they will have a natural chance of escaping.
"Stop them, no matter what method you use, stop them."
"Gather towards the mountain pass and use the dangerous terrain there to block them."
"Don't give up, everyone. What infiltrated behind us is only a small force led by the Yongye Army. As long as we can block their first wave of impact, we have a chance to recover. Before that, we must keep the mountain pass intact.
"
Although Earl Niklos and others have made the decision to retreat from the Helian Pass, they must not say this when issuing orders to the outside world.
Because once you say this, the soldiers on the plateau will breathe their last breath and lose their last courage to resist. Then they will be defeated like a mountain.
If everyone gathers at the Helian Mountain Pass, they will become sardine cans there, unable to advance or retreat, and no one will be able to 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 people from the Huayu Plateau from leaving the mountain.
"Damn it, these bastards did we know we were coming out of the mountain pass?"
"You are really underestimating people's instinct to escape. They may not have the overall view of us, but when they are surrounded by enemies on all sides, they will instinctively crawl to the place with the fewest people. The dangerous mountain pass is undoubtedly a turtle shell.
"
When Count Nicholas waited for them to retreat to the Helian Pass, he was stunned to find that the narrow opening of the Helian Pass had long been crowded with defeated troops, blocking the area tightly and making it impossible to advance or retreat.
I heard a quarrel.
"Hurry up and open the mountain gate, we are going out of the mountain."
"Don't mess around. I have the responsibility of guarding the mountain gate. How can the mountain gate be opened so easily? What if the enemy takes the opportunity to come in?"
"The enemy has long been behind us. Didn't you see that most of the barracks behind us were 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.
If we take temporary refuge, there may still be a glimmer of hope. No matter how late it is, none of us will be able to escape, and we will all have to be buried here with you at the gate of the mountain."
"If I do this, I will be derelict in my duties and will be beheaded afterwards. Besides, who knows whether the commotion behind is caused by the roar of the camp. I warn you, don't come closer. If you come closer again, I will kill you."
Ordered to shoot."
"You should cum for me and see. You won't be afraid of making people angry. Come on, everyone. This guy doesn't have the guts to kill his own people."
"Open the bow, release... This time it's just a warning. If you dare to get close again, I will order someone to greet you."
"That bastard actually dared to order to shoot us with bows. Since you don't care about the friendship between brothers, then don't blame us for being rude. What are you waiting for? Guys, get ready to rush forward. Just rush down the mountain pass and open the door
The city gate gives us a chance to survive, otherwise everyone will die here."
"Everyone, please don't mess around. Don't mess around. We haven't reached this level yet. We can't start killing each other before the enemy comes to kill us. General Gulen, we know that you are loyal to your duties, but you also have to take your time to fulfill your duties.
The order given to you by the earl is to defend against the enemy, not to prevent the brothers from leaving the mountain. Regardless of whether there is an enemy attack or a camp roar, we are all for temporary escape, to avoid the loss of our own soldiers, and for the overall situation.
Think about it, General Grant, please rest assured, if the earl is blamed afterwards, I will bear the responsibility."
"this……"
"If General Gulen is worried, I am willing to leave the battle flag of our Klin family as proof. When the time comes, the responsibility will be ours and has nothing to do with General Gulen."
"Count me in too..."
"Count me in..."
"Let's do this. Let's each take a step back. You go to the earl and ask for an order. As soon as the earl's order arrives, I will immediately open the mountain gate and let you pass. Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to obey."
"General Grant, you are playing tricks on us. With the chaos like this, where can we go to find the Earl?"
"By the time we find the Earl, the enemy will probably have killed us, and by then everything will be too late."
General Gulen, who is guarding the Helian Pass tonight, is a man who is dedicated to his duties. 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.
In the past, everyone would give thumbs up to a person who was so devoted to his duties. After all, with such a person here, they didn't have to worry that the mountain pass would be taken away easily.
But now, the local nobles who led him were yelling at him and saying, "I don't know how to change my mind."
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, and hurry up and make way for the Earl."
"My Lord Earl, you are really Lord Earl, why are you still standing there? Hurry and make way for Lord Earl. Can you get out if you are stuck here?"
Count Nicholas came to the door himself, which undoubtedly made the nobles and soldiers very happy. The crowded mountain pass was suddenly split into an opening that could accommodate several people.
Escort Count Niklos all the way to the Helian Pass.
Count Nicholls had not enjoyed this kind of treatment before, but this was the first time he was greeted spontaneously and from the bottom of his heart.
But at this moment, Count Nicholls could not show any joy, but only deep sadness.
At this moment, although Count Nickles didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that the Bryan family was finished.
Although when they made the plan, in addition to guarding the Helian Pass, they also had a second plan to use the three hundred kilometers of territory between Huayu City and the Helian Pass to strengthen the walls and clear the fields to fight a war of attrition against the invaders.
But this premise is based on the fact that their main force is well preserved.
Even if they evacuate from Helian Mountain Pass now, how many people will be left when they come out again?
The dangerous road is not 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 a joke.
"Your Majesty, Count." General Grant gave a military salute to Count Negreus.
"General Gulen, you have done a good job and have lived up to my trust in you." Count Nicholas nodded towards General Gulen and said, "But from now on, your mission has been completed, and the enemy is not with us.
Without realizing it, he came around behind us. This mountain pass has lost its military value. If we continue to die here, this place will become a Jedi and a grave for all of us, so I made a difficult decision.
, abandon the Helian Mountain Pass and take a detour home through the dangerous Yangchang Road."
"Dangerous road?" General Grant exclaimed, "That mountain road is rugged and difficult to navigate. At the narrowest point, you have to turn sideways to pass. Not to mention, the mountain wind there is strong. If you are not careful, you will be killed.
If a person is blown down into the bottomless abyss, there will be no place for the army to come in and out."
"I know, but that has become our only choice." Count Nickles nodded heavily and said, "Open the mountain gate first and let them pass. I have personally gone to confirm that the roar behind is not the camp, but the camp roar.
Night attack, the main battle legion led by the Yongye Army."
"Yes." General Gulen had no reason to insist anymore and ordered loudly, "What are you waiting for? Open the mountain gate and let the earl go and let the brothers go."
Click! Click!
Amidst the sound of a winch turning, the small mountain gate of Helian Pass slowly opened under the eyes of thousands of expectant eyes.
Everyone's tense faces couldn't help but relax a lot, leaving a hint of joy in surviving the disaster.
As long as the mountain gate is wide open, they escape into the fault mountain range and break into pieces, even if the main force of the Yong Ye Army rushes from behind, they will be unable to do anything.
"Your Majesty, please." General Gulen made a gesture of invitation.
"General Gulen, please retreat with us!" Count Niklos invited.
"If there are really enemies behind, I believe it won't be long before they come after them. It will take time for the count to lead his people into the mountains to escape. I will guard the mountain pass for the count again to hold off the pursuers and help the count.
Sir, buy some time." General Gulen shook his head and refused.
"General Gulen..." Count Niklos couldn't help but re-examine this subordinate whom he had never liked.
Although the other party was born into a noble family, he was not good at communication and speech. In addition, he had an ugly face and an old-fashioned personality. He had never tried to please himself. Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, he turned out to be loyal to him.
General Grant showed a pair of snow-white teeth that did not match his dark face. "At times like this, there is always a need for someone to be loyal to the homeland. The count has left his life and name, so I will guard the last door for the count..."
"Look, what is that?"
"It seems like something is flying in the air, coming towards us..."
"What a big bird, so fast..."
There was another wave of uneasiness and commotion below.
They saw a huge figure rising from the rear and rushing towards them at a terrifying speed. Even in the night, there was no way to block her brilliance.
Because the magical brilliance shining on her body is far beyond what ordinary magic combat skills can match.
It only took less than ten seconds for the opponent to appear directly above the Helian Mountain Pass. Seeing the opponent's appearance clearly, everyone couldn't help but take a breath of air.
Because it was a magical giant that was tens of meters tall. The energy fluctuations emanating from his body made even the most insensitive person clearly feel that the other person was looking down at them with a cold and ruthless gaze.
The situation in front of them has completely shattered everyone's understanding, including the local nobles who thought they were knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and they didn't know how to explain the magical giant in front of them.
"Princess Sophia? How is it possible?" Count Niklos exclaimed. He connected her with a living person at the first sight, and the shock became even worse.
The next second.
The female magic giant hanging in mid-air had her chest and abdomen wide open, and numerous long and thick objects dragged out long flames, spurting out and falling towards the Helian Mountain Pass.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of landslides and ground cracking explosions filled the entire Helian Pass.
The next moment, this place turned into a hell on earth, with blazing magical flames everywhere burning fiercely.
In the face of such a violent explosion.
People are like rag dolls, being tossed around and even torn into pieces.
Those who were killed on the spot were the lucky ones, because they had not felt too much pain, and either their souls were annihilated, or their souls had been taken away by an invisible force.
The truly miserable ones are those who were not killed on the spot and plunged into the sea of hell and fire.
These magical flames are like tarsal maggots. Once splashed, there is no way to extinguish them no matter how they roll crazily on the ground.
Soon their skin will be burned to pieces and their flesh will be ripped apart, leaving them no longer human.
Count Nicholls was one of the very lucky few who was neither killed on the spot nor devoured by magical flames.
Instead, the air wave generated by the explosion was blown directly to the gate of Helian Pass.
The mountain gate that was not completely blown down formed a small safe area.
"Why? Why? Since you have this kind of power, why don't you go directly to the Grand Duke? As long as you get in front of the Grand Duke, the Grand Duke will never have the guts to go to war with you..."
Although Count Nicholas is not dead, he has completely lost his soul. He is like a broken puppet, his eyes are empty and dull, and he is mumbling questions to himself. He does not know whether he is asking the person who looks like Sophie.
Princess Ya’s magic giant is still asking herself.
He couldn't figure out why the leader of the Yongye Army didn't use it earlier when he clearly possessed such extraordinary power.
This terrifying magic giant only needs to stop outside Archduke Christian's castle in Huayu City, and it doesn't even need the artillery attack just now.
Archduke Christian will surrender to the Yongye Army without hesitation, and there will never be a second possibility.
Count Nicholas has followed Archduke Christian for many years and knows that his king is not a strong-willed person.
The reason why they actively prepare for the war is because they think they have hope of winning.
"The leader of the Yongye Army not only wants the Flower Language Plateau, but also wants a clean Flower Language 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 Flower Language Plateau..."
A voice could not be suppressed and sounded from the depths of Count Nickles' mind.
It was the merchant Viscount Copperfield Gold who he had always looked down upon.
He had already reminded them a month ago.
They just listened to it as a joke.
Count Nicholls combined with the situation in front of him, he no longer thought it was just a threat or a joke.
Only by substituting this premise into it can we explain everything we know.
