Chapter 1174: An Unexpected Helping Hand
A messenger's voice sounded outside the door: "Master Alan, General Salong invites you to the square." There was a bit of joy in the soldier's voice, and it seemed that the reinforcements came out of the forest avenue. But according to what Salon said, it is very difficult for the Imperial Army to mobilize troops to come over now, so where did the support troops come from?
Allen simply answered "I'll be right here", then put on his robe, took the Scarlet King with him and walked out of the room.
It was still early, and the lead clouds in the sky had thinned a lot today, exposing the light blue sky. In the east, a line of fish is white, and the golden morning light is slowly seeping through. However, the castle square was still dimly lit. When Allen arrived, Salon was talking with two other generals in the square. He turned his head when he heard the footsteps, the old general's eyes glowed again, he laughed and said to Allen, "Earl Allen, we have reinforcements, guess who they are?"
Salon must be in a good mood, otherwise he wouldn't be in the mood to joke. Allen shook his head honestly, and another voice said, "It's our iron gun guard!"
Orlando came striding forward with a battle gun in his hand, and this time Ruola did not follow him. The Son of the Iron Spear nodded to Alan first, and then said to Sa Long: "I just received a summons from my father. He sent us two thousand Iron Spear Guards. That is our most elite army, General Sa Long, You have to take a good look, we boys are not losing to the emperor at all."
Salon smiled and said: "I heard that the Iron Spear Guards are powerful, and I finally have the opportunity to see them today. Let's go, everyone, let's meet those lovely people."
They left the square, rode across the middle of the lake avenue, and stopped on the shore. At this moment, the morning light in the east has diffused through the trees, casting a golden light on the exit. They shone under the gray-white armor, refracting dazzling rays of light. Alan was riding on the horse, and from a distance, he saw the elite army trained by Hoy walking towards them along the avenue through the woods. The iron spear guards lined up in two rows. They walked neatly. Everyone wore gray and white armor, carrying round shields and backpacks, and long knives pinned to their waists, but the most eye-catching thing was the long spears they carried on their shoulders.
Each iron spear pointed backwards obliquely, even during the march, the slope of the spears was almost the same. Under the morning light, it looks like a moving steel forest!
When there was still a distance of about 100 meters from the shore, ten Iron Spear Guards on the left and right in front stopped, then turned in opposite directions at the same time, and then strode forward. After drawing a certain distance, Shi Shi stopped, followed by the second and third rows of iron spear guards spreading out left and right, and when the last two rows of soldiers stood at the predetermined positions. All the iron gun guards turned to face the great lake at the same time, shouting in unison, and the iron guns in their hands fell to the ground. The sound of two thousand iron guns hitting the ground at the same time merged into a strong sound, which spread far above the shore of the lake.
So imposing.
Salon secretly praised that they were worthy of being the elite descendants of the Marquis of the Iron Spear. The quality of these soldiers alone was not inferior to the soldiers of the Buck Army. Only the elite thorn horned deer army in the stag army,
In order to win over them.
After the Iron Spear Guard stood still, people saw other people behind them. Huo Yi in gray armor and gray robe took the lead, and the Marquis of the Iron Spear appeared in front of everyone wearing the battle armor that he hadn't worn for a long time, shocking everyone. Before Salon could speak, Orlando had already stepped forward and knelt down on one knee in front of Hoima: "Father, why did you come by yourself?"
"Why, just because you can fight the enemy on the front line, why don't you allow me to come to the battlefield to have fun?" Huo Yi got off his horse and patted Orlando on the shoulder: "I have heard about the situation here, and I am very happy. Glad the unicorn collar is still gone. Good job, Orlando, I'm so proud of you."
Orlando said with a smile on his face, "If Master Alan hadn't lent me a lot of strong men, it's not clear whether we could hold our ground yesterday."
Huo Yi rolled his eyes, smacked his lips and said, "I wasted my tongue."
Then he greeted Sa Long and Alan. The old general of the Bucks opened his arms and gave Huo Yi a strong hug. He was much taller than the Marquis, and Huo Yi's figure could hardly be seen under this hug. Sa Long said in a deep voice: "How many years have you not seen each other, old friend?"
Hearing this sentence, people realized that these two old people had been close friends for many years. But even Orlando didn't know about it, and he looked at the two old people in a daze. Huo Yi clenched his fist and lightly hammered the general's chest, and sighed: "I haven't seen you since the day you insisted on staying in the Bucks Army. Thirty years have passed in a blink of an eye. Look, we are all old men." Guy, but I'm about to have a grandson, and you're still a bachelor."
Salon stared and said: "What's wrong with being single? I think you are burdened by your family. Otherwise, you would be a shitty Marquis. Marching and fighting with me, wouldn't it be more fun to kill the aliens?"
"It makes people have their own ambitions." Huo Yi shook his head and laughed: "But I am here today, we still have a chance to fight side by side again, you should have fun."
"Speaking of which, I really didn't expect you to come here in person, are you worried about your son?"
Huo Yi looked towards the distance to the west, and said in a solemn tone: "A few days ago, Marshal Rodke sent me a message. It is said that one of the three warlords will personally preside over this front. That old guy Rodke I hope I can contribute to the empire. I think it’s at my own door anyway, so I’ll make this trip. Otherwise, if this place falls, I will eventually see the scene of the flames of war.”
"Great Overseer? Do you know who it is?" Sa Long asked in a whisper.
"I don't know, I just hope it's not Ribian. He ranks the lowest in combat power among the three warlords, but on the battlefield, his ability is the most troublesome." Huo Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "I was so busy talking, I forgot about His Highness."
"Which Your Highness?" Salon was taken aback.
"Nonsense, which Highness is there in the south now?" Huo Yi said with a smile, "Of course it is His Highness Julian."
As soon as he finished speaking, a carriage stopped, the door of the carriage opened, and Julian stepped out of the carriage. The iron spear guards on both sides immediately turned to the young prince, and knelt down on one knee. Salon and other generals stepped forward quickly, and Alan followed suit, and everyone also half-kneeled to Julian. Only Huo Yi has a special status and only needs to bow to Julian.
Julian smiled brightly and got everyone up. Sa Long said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, this is the front line. With your honorable status, how could you appear here. Please leave, Your Highness, otherwise, if you make any mistakes, the situation in the empire will become even more chaotic."
Before the prince made a statement, Huo Yi shook his head and said, "Salong has such a temper, otherwise, after so many years, he should have become a general. Old guy, you deserve it."
Salon blew his beard and stared at Huo Yi with a look of displeasure, but he couldn't find a way to fight back, so he could only sulk himself. Julian smiled slightly and said, "General Salong, I'm sorry for your concern. But as the successor of the kingdom, how can I hide in a safe place and enjoy peace during the national war? If I want to do this, my father is I won’t rest assured that the throne will be handed over to me. So if there is a war here, then I should be here. Besides, the Marquis of Hoy is also here, as well as Earl Allen and the generals. If I still dare not go to the front line in person, then this I don't want the throne."
Hearing these words, several generals nodded in their hearts, no matter whether Julian's words came from the heart or just superficial. But at least he came to the front line in person. Compared with him, the other prince who is still desperately consolidating his position in the imperial capital at the moment of the national war is much inferior.
After hearing this, Sa Long sighed: "Since Your Highness said so, then I won't force it. It's just that Huo Yi still has to deal with the Great Warlord of the Shadow Principality, Your Highness must remember to stay in a safe place, lest this old guy has no skills, and it is inevitable His Highness didn't take good care of her."
Huo Yi chuckled: "You don't have to worry about this. Naturally, someone will greet the Great Overseer of the foreign race. Besides, I never said that I would personally deal with the top powerhouse of the foreign race. I am old, so let the young people do their best. "
Julian also agreed with a smile: "The Marquis is right, with that one present, Mr. Huo Yi may not be able to play."
Salon said dissatisfied: "Just tell me who it is, I'll make adjustments early."
Huo Yi shrugged, Julian and the people around him stepped aside, and a thin figure appeared in the eyes of Salon and the others. The man's long silver hair reflected the dazzling light in the morning light, and his appearance could hardly be seen clearly. It wasn't until he took a few steps forward that he could see his appearance clearly, but everyone including Alan exclaimed. Because it seems that this person shouldn't be here. After all, he once assisted Ma Sen in betraying the empire, and now he appeared on the front line of the southern border. No matter how you look at it, it is dazzling.
Midian, one of the ten saints, the man known as the Twilight Prayer nodded slightly to the crowd and said: "Don't be surprised, no matter what your previous position is, I am a human being first and foremost. I also have my own relatives He and the family also don't want to see them fall into the flames of war with other races, and my feelings are the same as yours. Of course, if you want to pursue the previous matter, then I have nothing to say."
Allen glanced at Julian, who understood what he meant, shook his head with a smile, and said for Midian: "Two days ago, when this lord appeared in front of me, I was as surprised as everyone else, and I couldn't believe it." My own eyes. But I saw Lord Midian’s determination in his eyes, and I also believed that he fought with the heart of the people of the empire. As for the things that happened before, I think I can put it down for now. Besides, he also brought Message from Mr Mason Da Mason."
Midian took over the conversation and said, "Mason knows that he has made a big mistake. If he hadn't insisted on going his own way, this situation would not have happened in the empire now. He intends to help, but now, his wife is almost dying. Mason plans to spend the last time with his wife, and then see how he can help. At worst, he can prove to everyone that Howson is not qualified to sit on the throne at all!"
