Deeply under siege, Gilbert led the remaining people to break out. He shouted loudly, grabbed the spear with both hands and pushed forward, pushing down all the evil spirits in front of him with overwhelming force. But there were several stubborn evil spirits.
Biting his hand and the spear, he raised the gun and threw away the evil spirits. Then the gun body emitted bursts of light, and then slashed down with a vertical slash, knocking down all the evil spirits in front of him.
.
He immediately moved forward, but was immediately surrounded by evil spirits. Behind him, of the nearly 10,000 soldiers who were left behind, there were now less than 200 left. Everyone was stained with blood, and the war horses
No one survived, and those who survived were all soldiers wearing heavy armor.
Just when everyone was about to exhaust their strength and fall into despair, a crimson phoenix suddenly appeared in the direction of dawn. It was like a second sun rising, and everyone was attracted by this beautiful light.
The next moment, a streak of flames streaked across the battlefield, then split into two, surrounding everyone.
General Gilbert was shocked. He looked towards the Fire Phoenix and saw a figure appearing in the firelight and falling from the sky.
They saw a red-haired woman wearing a robe appearing in front of them, wearing a sword at her waist. Before Gilbert could ask her identity, the other party immediately said: "Follow me!"
After saying that, she stretched out her hand towards the fire wall, and then a gap appeared. The evil spirit's figure instantly turned into ashes in the fire. This was not a natural flame, but a very dangerous magical fire that could not be extinguished with water.
.
Before they could respond, the red-haired woman walked towards the road paved by flames. She entered the fire, with only her figure vaguely emerging.
Everyone was shocked, but Gilbert clenched his weapon and entered the flames without saying a word.
Seeing this, the remaining soldiers also understood one thing. Either way, they would die, so they might as well take a gamble and enter this secret door to find out.
So they also rushed in. They felt that their whole bodies became hot under the flames, and sweat continued to flow down. The soldiers found that other than that, they were not harmed.
They followed the red-haired woman in front of them and finally came to a forest, which was where they had been. When they looked back, they found that the flames were distributed on the battlefield like spider threads, and the path they were walking on
The road is just one of the threads.
The evil spirits had no idea where they were going. A few evil spirits in the forest discovered them. The red-haired woman pulled out the sword from her waist and quickly eliminated the evil spirits blocking the way. She moved swiftly and without any hesitation.
A mage who can use such powerful magic also has such attainments in swordsmanship, and it seems that she is not older than herself.
Gilbert was very surprised when he saw all this. How could he not have heard of such a person who was a talented general wherever he was placed?
But now was not the time to guess the opponent's identity. Before the evil spirits could catch up, they quickened their pace, shook them off, and turned back the way they came.
They didn't dare to stop and rest until they saw no trace of the evil spirit at all.
It was already dusk at this time, and they hid in a rock cave on the seaside. This was once a stronghold of pirates. When he was young, Gilbert had participated in the operation to exterminate these pirates, so he knew this place.
Nowadays, there are only some rotten wood left here that have been soaked and corroded by the tide. Even so, it is very secluded and you can sleep peacefully. It is already good to have a place where you can sleep peacefully.
Since they were separated from the group, they had nothing, so they could only clean each other's wounds.
Gilbert took off his helmet. He had black hair and blue eyes. He was a typical Luas man. He came to the side of the red-haired woman, who stood in the entrance of the cave and used magic to cover the exit.
"I am Gilbert. Thank you for saving us. I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of everyone. I don't know the name of the benefactor who saved us."
He covered his chest with his right hand, bent slightly, and asked politely.
The other party turned around, revealing eyes as red as her hair. Magic power surged in her eyes, creating an incredible light.
"My name is Lilith. If I remember correctly, you are the general of the Luas Empire, Gilbert."
"Yes."
Gilbert kept chanting the name Lilith in his mind, but he had no impression at all. Could this be a pseudonym? For a strong man who did not want to be named, it was normal to have one or two pseudonyms.
"Why are you besieging us here with so few people? Why isn't Prince Jean with you?"
Hearing this, Gilbert was a little surprised, she knew a lot.
"We were attacked by evil spirits. In order to delay the evil spirits, we can only cut off the bridge and stay behind to buy time for Prince Jean."
"He crossed the bridge? Are you going to Shacheng?"
Lilith frowned.
"Yes."
Gilbert nodded. He knew that he had said too much. He shouldn't have told anyone about the prince's movements, but at this moment, he had already let down his guard against his fellow humans.
Lilith lowered her head slightly, bit her thumb, and started thinking.
"That is to say, he does not plan to go to the Islands to join his brother Eliel."
Gilbert was slightly surprised.
"How did you know we might go to the Islands?"
"I just came from the Dragon Boat Empire and reached an agreement with King Xianglong."
Dragon Boat Empire?!
Hearing this, Gilbert couldn't help but frowned. This was Luas's mortal enemy. Could it be that Lilith was his enemy.
"Are you from the Dragon Boat Empire?"
"No, I am from the Rus Empire, but my country is no longer there, but I believe that one day, it will come back."
The Ross Empire, Gilbert understood, she was a remnant of the Ross Empire.
"Gilbert, mankind has reached a moment of life and death. No, it should be everyone, regardless of humans, elves or demons. We are all experiencing an unprecedented catastrophe. We must unite together to fight against the enemy. I hope Lu
All the forces of the Yasi Empire can be gathered together and follow me to the Dragon Boat Empire to join us."
Lilith said straightforwardly.
This is very unrealistic.
Gilbert didn't say that.
"I support your idea, Lord Lilith, but I don't have the power to help you. All my troops are already in front of you."
"I know, but you are still a general of a country."
"If I can see Prince Jean again, I will do my best to help you convince him."
Gilbert looked at the other person and said.
"Thank you, but as far as I know, before the Demon King captured your royal city, Prince Eliel moved most of the magic books and respected magicians to the islands. Is this news true?"
"Yes."
Gilbert wasn't going to hide it.
Lilith raised her eyebrows. She immediately understood what was going on. She sighed and said, "General Gilbert, if possible, I would like you to take me to see Eliel."
