During the court meeting in the palace, there was an uproar when Ren announced the situation of the Eastern Expedition, and then Ren immediately announced several countermeasures discussed with the two ministers and the promotion of the titles of Richard, Ross, Sol and others On the contrary, the decision did not cause too much disturbance. Under the great crisis, the decision that could cause endless troubles on weekdays was quickly passed, and the envoy who announced the order of knighting also rushed to Longxi Pass that day.

Dragon's Breath

The light rain continued, the soldiers on the pass were still staring at Qiu Yu and continued to patrol on duty, and the craftsmen kept moving the rolling stones and woods to keep the city wall. Everything was making the final preparations for the upcoming war.

In the past few days, fewer and fewer soldiers came back. From thousands a day at the beginning to now, a few people come back sporadically every day. The basket was pulled up to the city wall, and even soldiers with good eyesight had already seen that there seemed to be orc wolves riding on the city wall in the distance.

Amidst the mist and mist, several giant dragons suddenly appeared, cut through the rain curtain, and flew towards the dragon's breath. The soldiers upstairs were first surprised, then overjoyed. Because he discovered that the giant dragon that appeared was not the white dragon of the orcs, but the golden dragon they were most familiar with.

"Master Li Cha is back!"

"Master Li Cha is back!"

Sitting on the back of the poisonous dragon, Li Cha looked at the majestic dragon standing below him, and his face showed a bit of emotion. He didn't know how long this human being could rely on to resist the orcs.

Yes, in Li Cha's heart, he is also not optimistic that Longxi Pass can be held. This time the orcs have too much advantage. Humans lost half of their elites in the Eastern Expedition. There are two million people, which seems a lot, but they have to defend more than a dozen large cities and hundreds of castles stretching thousands of miles, any point may be broken by orcs.

The combat strength of the orcs was originally higher than that of humans, and now the assembled force has also exceeded two million, and it is still increasing. How can humans fight against the orcs when they have no advantage in numbers.

Moreover, in this battle, humans lost the traditional advantage of giant dragons. The orcs got the full help of the white dragon clan, but the golden dragons almost completely gave up their assistance to humans. The situation of humans is even worse.

As for the giant dragon under Li Cha's own hands, even if the golden dragon in his hand is far more powerful than the white dragon, it can't withstand the huge difference in numbers. After several battles, the loss of the giant dragon in Li Cha's hand is getting worse The bigger the dragon, the only dragons that can follow back to the dragon's breath pass are an ancient golden dragon, a poisonous dragon, and two golden dragons that are not fully injured. case without any loss.

In addition to the disadvantages of high-level arms such as giant dragons, humans are still at a disadvantage in terms of top-level combat power. A holy-rank white dragon can offset the combat power of Richard and the holy dragon, and the powerful old orc is even more powerful. It has a crushing combat power advantage over them.

After the Battle of Raging Flame Castle, Li Cha was seriously injured by the old orc chasing and beating all the way. He escaped by relying on the recovery effect of the holy blood bottle and teleportation. The orc has a comprehensive advantage from basic to high-level combat power. Even Molier is not optimistic about the defense of Longxiguan anymore, and has been urging Li Cha to give up Longxiguan, trade space for time, and return to the Northland to gather strength.

However, Li Cha decided to return to Longxi Pass first after healed his injury and considered it.

A few giant dragons descended from the sky, and Ross was alarmed without the soldiers notifying him. At this time, Richard suddenly returned and strengthened his high-end combat power. No matter how you say it, it is a good thing. Duke Ross, who has been gloomy for a few days Finally, he lifted his spirits and ordered to the soldiers outside:

"Go and invite Lord Li Cha to the meeting hall, and call all the army commander-level officers in the city to the meeting hall to welcome Lord Li Cha."

"Yes, Lord Rose!"

"Master Richard, Sir Ross, please go to the chamber immediately."

Not long after Li Cha landed on the poisonous dragon, the soldiers who delivered the order rushed to Li Cha, saying that it was a delivery order, but they were very respectful in both tone and attitude. Perhaps it was Rose's order. , When seeing Li Cha, he kept his posture very low.

"Well, Morel, Natalis, let the dragons stay where they are and rest, let's go see Lord Rose first."

"Have someone prepare some food for the dragon, preferably half-cooked beef and mutton."

"Yes, Sir Richard!"

"Master Li Cha has arrived!"

Under the guidance of the soldiers, Li Cha took Morrell and Natalis into the meeting room, and all the eyes in the hall turned to Li Cha.

"Your Excellency Li Cha, sit here."

Although the Duke of Ross temporarily took charge of the power of Longxiguan, he still added a place for Richard by his side after learning that Richard was coming. Canada in front of the police.

Richard was also polite, and sat down beside Duke Ross at his invitation, while Natalis and Molly were also discussing matters in the hall.

"Lord Richard, what happened after that day? Where is Lord Saul? And what's the current situation in Fort Fury? What's the current situation of the orcs?"

After Richard sat down, Duke Ross's questions came like a barrage of cannonballs. It's no wonder that Duke Ross had so many questions. Without the air superiority, and the ground troops were defeated again, the army of Longxiguan basically had no source of information. , Their information is all obtained from the fleeing soldiers. The accuracy of these pieced together information is not enough, so we can only make a rough calculation. Now that Li Cha has appeared, of course he wants to get more information from Li Cha. accurate information.

"On the battlefield that day, we met a strong orc, a strong orc who had never appeared in the information, from what he said, it seemed that he still knew His Majesty Aragorn..."

Li Cha narrated the situation on the battlefield that day, and the more people present, the more they listened, the more frightened they became. The people sitting here are all the high-level officials of Longxi Pass, and Li Cha doesn't need to cover up the information to stabilize his confidence, so he will be very worried. The cruel truth was told to them so that they could be psychologically prepared.

"Has Master Saul died in battle?"

"Um."

Li Cha nodded, and couldn't help recalling the last figure of Sol that day.

After the long knife in the old orc's hand knocked off the red shadow sword in Sol's hand, he chopped off Sol's head with one knife, leaving no dignity for the pillar of the kingdom at all, and even grabbed Sol's head. The head was revealed to the human army below, triggering the army's first major rout.

The golden dragon Asuo also died in a fierce battle. After Saul's death, the old orc didn't really care about the life and death of the golden dragon, but Asuo attacked the old orc madly, and was finally beheaded by the old orc.

The level of horror of the holy rank powerhouse in the least realm is still lingering in Li Cha's mind. If he hadn't had the ability to teleport, he might have fallen into the hands of the old orc this time.

"So, Your Excellency Richard watched Lord Saul die in battle and escaped on the battlefield?"

Just as Rose and the officers below were hurting Saul, a discordant voice suddenly came from below.

As soon as the voice of doubt came out, the hall immediately fell silent, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little tense. Li Cha is no longer the little-known little nobleman in the north. Kuai Xinxing has already set foot among the top dignitaries in the kingdom. Compared with Ross and Sol, he is only short of qualifications. Compared with the other officers in the next seat, his status is completely different, let alone While Li Cha's own strength is not weak, he still holds the dragon card in his hand.

"Count Fran, shut up!"

"Am I wrong? Isn't Your Excellency Richard a deserter? If His Excellency Richard hadn't escaped, Lord Saul would not have died."

Li Cha glanced at the person who made the sound, and there was a little fear in the other party's eyes, but it seemed that Li Cha was convinced that Li Cha was wronged, and he still raised his head without flinching, but made Duke Ross's face ashen with anger, and someone would take him down at any time posture.

From a personal point of view, Richard saved the life of Duke Ross, and the Western Region Army can still maintain most of the main force to retreat to Longxi Pass. Richard has made great contributions, and Duke Ross wants to accept Richard's love.

In fairness, no matter what the specific circumstances of that battle were, Richard was one of his high-end fighters and brought some giant dragons with him. It would be a good thing to be able to come back. It is impossible to punish Richard. He never thought of punishing Li Cha.

The crime of running away from battle is for small soldiers and lower-level officers. When it comes to the level of Ross and Richard, it cannot be called running away. It is something that cannot be violated. Try to preserve your vitality. In the end, he had to fight hard to die. If he could run back with Li Cha, it would be nothing if he lost 300,000 imperial guards.

It's just that I didn't expect that someone who was not open-eyed would stand up now and want to hold Li Cha accountable for running away.

"Come on, put Count Fran down."

Duke Ross didn't want to wait for this person to continue talking nonsense anymore, and immediately called the guards to suppress him, but Richard waved his hand to signal Duke Ross to stay calm.

"Who is this Earl?"

"I am the Lord Earl of Fran, and I specially led the troops to Longxi Pass to help in the battle. If someone like His Excellency Richard who escaped from the battle is not punished, I am afraid that the soldiers will be chilled, and Sir Saul will die with regret."

This person was not an officer from Longxiguan, but one of the nobles gathered on the Great Plains. He was qualified to attend this meeting just because his title was high enough and he brought a lot of supplies and soldiers.

"Oh? Your Excellency Fran, what punishment should I receive?"

Li Cha had a playful expression on his face, and Molly and Natalis looked at each other as if they were watching a show. Li Cha couldn't even get angry with such a fool.

"The Duke of Ross should deprive His Excellency Richard of his command over the dragon, and send Richard back to prison for trial."

"boom!"

Suddenly, Li Cha slapped the table, causing many people to tremble.

"Your Excellency Fran, I suspect that your accusation has ulterior motives. I was obviously fighting the orcs. I fought so hard that I fell into a coma and was snatched out by my subordinates. After waking up, I immediately came to Dragon's Breath Pass to help. Why did you say that it turned into running away. "

Anyway, not many people saw what happened in the sky that day. Naturally, it was what Li Cha said. It was obvious that Li Cha lost to the old orc and escaped, but another way of saying it feels completely different.

Before the other party could refute, Li Cha continued:

"Slandering a kingdom dragon knight, what a crime!"

Hearing these words, Earl Fran suddenly felt his heart skip a beat. Li Cha is also a dragon knight. In the kingdom, the status of the dragon knight is even higher than that of the nobles. If he offends the dragon knight, the dragon knight has the right to kill the other party.

"boom!"

A few streaks of golden grudge pierced Earl Fran's battle armor, and a lot of blood gushed out from the wound. Earl Fran opened his mouth, but he couldn't even speak because of the serious injury.

With Li Cha's strength at this time, he suddenly started to deal with a noble of the great knight rank, and the opponent would not even have a little resistance. The thick chain armor pierces through the body.

"Wow!"

Li Cha suddenly shot and killed an earl, which caused an uproar in the conference hall. Although everyone felt that this person had no eyesight, but at least the other party was also an earl. He brought many elite soldiers to Longxiguan to participate in the battle. Li Cha Killing the opponent like killing a chicken like this, everyone still didn't react.

Even Duke Ross, who wanted someone to push him down just now, was stunned by this scene. He opened his mouth to say something, but finally waved his hand and ordered the guards to drag him down.

"This person framed the dragon knight and disturbed the morale of the army. I have killed him. I suspect that he is still a spy. Maybe he is the remnant of the Rising Sun Sect. We should investigate it carefully."

Before the war, the kingdom had launched a vigorous campaign to search for the Rising Sun Religion's chaotic party, and this crime could be easily assigned to the opponent.

The Duke of Ross didn't take off Richard's face either, he nodded in response, and continued to discuss the military. After emphasizing the tasks of each department, he let the generals leave. As for the dead Earl Fran, everyone chose Ignore it, if a dragon knight kills an earl in peacetime, it may be considered a thing, but in this special period, it is really like slaughtering a chicken.
