Before this, everyone thought that the mercenaries exploring the abyss were in serious danger. Even the most optimistic people never thought that they were still alive.
However, until Ansel mentioned it at this moment, everyone suddenly discovered the fact that until now, the devil's blood sacrifice channel has not evolved.
From a time perspective, this is extremely abnormal. You must know that the battle has been going on for a long time, and the demon's blood sacrifice should have been completed long ago. As long as there is enough blood, it only takes a moment for the blood stained channel to evolve into the gate of hell.
.It can’t be delayed until now.
Obviously, this will not be the result of deliberate control by the demons. For them who are bent on rushing to the mainland, delaying the formation of the Gate of Hell will not do any good.
In this way, the only remaining possibility is that there is a problem with the blood sacrifice!
And this means that the mercenaries trapped in the abyss were probably not wiped out as everyone imagined!
"Yes, why didn't the Blood Sacrifice Passage evolve into the Gate of Hell? If everyone inside had been wiped out, it wouldn't be like this!"
"Tell me, what is going on in the abyss?"
"There must be people alive, and there are quite a few of them. Now that I think about it, it's not surprising. Which one of the people we sent is not a veteran with extraordinary strength? Even if you fall into the devil's trap, you want to eat it in one bite
It’s not that easy to get rid of them!”
"Yes, our people are definitely still alive!"
Everyone was extremely excited and discussed enthusiastically. Especially the leaders of a group of mercenaries had blood rushing to their faces and looked extremely excited.
For their mercenary group, these senior mercenaries who were trapped in the abyss are really important. Whether they are alive or not determines whether these mercenary groups can maintain their current status and the competitiveness of the mercenary group.
It may even determine the life or death of the entire regiment.
Before this, everyone was already devastated.
But no one expected that in this piece of ashes, a little flame would burn. Moreover, the more he thought about it, the more intense the flame would become, gradually becoming a prairie fire.
Anthony and his wife were also excited. Elizabeth grabbed Anthony's arm, and her fingers turned white from the extreme force.
"Scarlett..." She murmured with tears in her eyes.
Anthony held his wife's hand, suppressed the ups and downs in his heart, and said quickly: "She must still be alive, she must still be alive."
At this moment, even Anthony himself didn't notice that his voice was trembling.
Amidst the commotion, Adolf, Fano, Eugene and others looked at each other. From each other's eyes, they all saw the same light.
For some reason, after hearing the news, the first reaction in their minds was not the impact of the postponement of the Gate of Hell on the war, but the figure of a black-haired young man.
If there are still mercenaries alive, then how could that person not be among them? You know, not even the divine punishment from heaven could kill him at the beginning.
Moreover, everyone has an inexplicable feeling that the reason why the Gate of Hell has not been formed yet is because of Roy. This boy is Lulian's lucky star, and has created miracles for Lulian who is facing desperate situations countless times. If this is the case, then why
Is this an exception?
With this kid's cunning and ability, God knows what he can do!
Looking at the happy people, Stevenson's face couldn't help but darken.
He turned his head and glanced at Ans Ayer. His eyes, which concealed a hint of coldness, collided with Ans Ayer's gaze and narrowed slightly.
Stevenson has been with the Knights of the Tomahawk for twenty years.
From an ordinary knight, he stepped up to the position of high-level leader of the Knights. He relied on his own efforts and the trust and promotion of Archduke Renault. Therefore, in the eyes of everyone, he is a direct descendant of the Renault family. Even in the end, he is a direct descendant of the Renault family.
Stupid people will not hit their brains on him.
However, only Stevenson himself knew that everything had changed since a carriage drove into his secret villa in Mata County, southwest of the imperial capital three years ago.
Stevenson defected to Donald. Today, he is one of the most important pawns installed by Watts in the Cavaliers.
This time the Knights of the Tomahawk rushed to Lullian's aid, which was a direct order from Edward I. As a knightly order directly affiliated with the royal family, not to mention Stevenson, even the Archduke Renault had no right to resist the order.
Therefore, Stevenson led his troops southward at the first opportunity, galloping day and night without rest. On the surface, he did a good job. But in fact, he had received Watts's secret message long before setting off, and he had made up his mind.
The purpose is to preserve the strength and sit on the sidelines.
Everything was going smoothly originally.
When the Knights arrived, the first line of defense of the Adolf organization collapsed. This allowed Stevenson to stay aside and watch the fun without even having to think about excuses. The subsequent deterioration of the situation made it even more difficult.
He had enough reasons not to take action.
But what he never dreamed of was that at this moment, Ans Aier stood up and pointed out this key doubt in the battle.
Stevenson has never taken Ans Ayer seriously.
This young third-generation collateral member of the Renault family is not considered top-notch in terms of age or strength. There are many such young people in the Renault family. Everyone wants to stand out, to rise to the top and become a core member that the family values.
.
However, even if the Renault family dominates, resources are limited. If there are no surprises, Ans Aier's future result will be just a small leader of the Knights, an executive who fights for the family but cannot enter the decision-making circle.
That’s all.
However, what is surprising is that since Ans Aier came to Lulian with his friend Xia Qing a few months ago, his life trajectory has taken an astonishing upward arc.
At that time, Lulian was in its most chaotic period. There was a rebellion instigated by the Langris people inside, and there was an invasion from the Fei Lie Empire outside. It was a dire situation. Under such circumstances, most of the noble children like Ans El would
Choose wisely and keep your distance.
However, Ans Aier dove in head first.
Not only did he make great achievements in the Battle of the Fjords, but he also gave Charles the wisest and most valuable advice on that rainy night in Munich a few days ago, which enabled the Renault family to escape a nearly humiliating battle.
and a disastrous fiasco.
Today, Ans Ayer is already a well-known figure, whether in the royal family, the military or the Renault family. Especially after being received by Grand Duke Renault, he is among the third generation of the family.
, has entered the inner circle.
Stevenson always thought that this was just Ansel's luck.
But now, he knew that he was wrong. This kid had a pair of eyes that could see the subtle things, and because of this, he created a problem for himself.
Stevenson could not directly deny this well-founded judgment. Therefore, he had to come up with more sufficient reasons to insist on his decision to withdraw troops.
With his mind spinning, Stevenson said: "Ans Ayer's guess is very reasonable. But..."
Everyone around him fell silent and stared at him.
Adolf half-squinted his eyes and asked: "But what? Isn't this enough to make you, Mr. Stevenson, change your decision?"
"First of all, this is just a guess," Stevenson said calmly. "As commanders, we cannot make decisions based on guesses. Unless this guess is confirmed."
"Secondly, the fact that the Gate of Hell has not evolved now does not mean that it will remain like this forever. There are too many variables in the two prayer times. The Gate of Hell may appear every minute and every second. Until then, our bravery
will become foolish and reckless.”
Having said this, he shook his head and sighed: "Besides, with our strength, we may not be able to persist for two hours of prayer. Once we collapse before Lord Abraham arrives, even if it is only one minute early, it will be a disaster."
disaster!"
Everyone became angry.
Although Stevenson has a square face and thick eyebrows, an upright look, and a sincere and well-founded attitude when speaking, even an idiot would know that he is speaking forcefully.
There is never a foolproof war in this world. If you are afraid that the situation will worsen, then why fight is needed? Let us just lay out the conditions. Those who should win, win, and those who should admit defeat, just admit defeat.
"Mr. Stevenson," Charles clenched his fists and said angrily, "I don't know what will happen in the future. I only know that since the devil has not completed the blood sacrifice, it proves that our people are still persisting inside. No matter what the result is,
, we should all..."
Just before Charles finished speaking, suddenly, a voice sounded.
"I think this conjecture is completely wrong. There can't be anyone alive in the abyss."
Everyone turned around and saw a sinister old nobleman wearing a wig and Old Bano, the head of the Bano family, walking up the hillside at some point.
"Watts?"
Those who knew this old nobleman had their pupils shrinking.
How did this old fox, who had always been hidden behind the scenes, come here? Could it be... Turning around and seeing Stevenson's surprised expression, everyone's hearts sank.
Sure enough, Watts walked up to Stevenson and said: "Mr. Stevenson, there is no chance of winning this battle. So, please order the Tomahawk Knights to evacuate here immediately. I promise
, no one can question your decision."
"Yes, sir." With Watts' support, Stevenson felt more confident and said, "I made this decision for the sake of the empire. Since this disaster cannot be avoided, we'd better be sensible.
.We have no right to let our knights die."
"Your idea is absolutely correct." Watts nodded and turned to Adolf, "His Royal Highness, I sincerely suggest that you also order a retreat. Otherwise, your stubbornness will cause the empire to suffer unnecessary losses."
Everyone was in an uproar.
I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shameless people. The two of them directed and acted by themselves, and they presented some fallacies in such a high-sounding way that people wanted to punch their hypocritical faces to pieces!
Look at the half-smiling face of old Bano next to him.
Anyone who knows the inside story knows that the reason why people like Old Bano appear here has nothing to do with the Abyss Demon or the Tomahawk Knights. His purpose of going south to Lulian is to avenge his son Bano Jr.
.And the young man named Leo is also in the abyss at this moment.
Therefore, it's not that Watts and his gang don't know that the people inside may be alive, but they don't care at all. They even wish those people would die.
In the silence, Adolf got on his horse, took off his lance, and spit on the ground.
"Let's go!"
A group of lords and generals got on their horses one after another. Everyone spat in the direction of Watts. Among them, Charles and Ansel were included.
Then no one went to see them again.
At this moment, everyone could only see the demon army in the distance.
The horn sounded, and the infantry phalanxes began to move. On the vast land, cavalry units rushed back and forth, raising dust all over the sky. Flags were hunting in the wind. Heavy rain of arrows had already been fired from the battle formations.
The rear soared into the sky, crossing the sky like a black locust.
Adolf rode down the hillside with the knights following closely behind him.
Further away, the strong men of the Fire Bee Hall, under the leadership of the Dharma God Simon, have faced three level 11 demons. And in the red light door, the figure of the fourth level 11 demon has appeared.
The sky and the earth changed color at this moment, becoming blood red.
"kill!"
The roar goes straight into the sky! . . . WeChat book friend account pangs_72 (this is a private account) WeChat public account tao22 welcomes everyone to harass... (To be continued.) Mobile phone users please visit http://m.piaotian.net
