Lord: Harvest two talented teenagers at the beginning

"Rumors are rumors. I am me." Alice said expressionlessly without any fluctuation on her beautiful face.

The masked man realized that he had lost his composure, put his right hand on his chest, and said, "Please forgive my impoliteness. We will help you complete your request."

"Tell me..." Thinking of the past, Alice paused and then said, "Forget it, let's just leave it at that."

After watching Alice leave, the masked man took off his mask with a complicated expression.

"I didn't expect that Her Highness Alice, who is known as the flower of the Ansa Kingdom, already has someone in her heart. I probably didn't even think about it when I told others about it."

"However, the situation on the battlefield is worse than I thought. We need to report it as soon as possible."

In the slums, the church seemed to be covering up something. He lost several subordinates one after another, but did not find any useful information, which made people feel very strange.

It seemed that the entire city of Solomon had become a little strange seven days ago.

……

Inside Youhu Pass, Marquis Edmund sat in his seat, looking at the generals below, his face no longer having the youthful vigor of the past.

Although he is not good at scheming, he is not a fool.

I thought that with the help of the ancient Gorge Pass Road, I could reach the enemy for several months and add another glorious deed to the Isaac family, but I didn't expect that the world is unpredictable and changes so much.

In less than a month, only Youhu Pass was left on the ancient Xiaguan Road. How could he resist the army of the alien gods?

Now, there are only 5,000 Youhu soldiers, 10,000 Xiashan soldiers, 30,000 city defense soldiers and the 80,000 troops he brought in Youhu Pass, totaling 125,000 people.

Although the army seems to be huge in number, there are less than 70,000 combat-capable soldiers, and only 30,000 soldiers who have entered the professional ranks.

According to the information he received, the alien god's army had a total of 40,000 people, all of whom were professionals, without a single ordinary human.

In such a comparison, although he occupied a dangerous position, he was at a disadvantage.

At this moment, a three-seal warrior entered the hall, knelt on one knee, and reported loudly: "My Lord Marquis, the Hongyan sentry tower reported that the enemy is gathering troops at Fengbao Pass."

"Let all the soldiers in the sentry tower outside the pass withdraw to Youhu Pass."

"Yes, Lord Marquis."

Waving his hand to signal the officer to go down, Marquis Edmund stood up and came to the sand table in the hall. Looking at the thirteen passes of the ancient Gorge Pass Road, he said in a deep voice: "General Isid, please explain what you know about this alien god's army."

"Yes, Marquis Edmund." General Isde answered calmly, then walked to the sand table, took out a map stick, and began to explain the information he knew.

"The reason for the loss of Black Bear Pass is unknown. According to the deduction of General Warren, General Morton and their subordinates, combined with the information collected by the scouts, the enemy should have sent an elite force to climb the rock wall with bare hands, enter the pass, and kill the Black Bear Pass guard Litton in order to break through the pass."

"Feihu Pass has a wall 36 meters high, which is the lowest of the 13 passes on the ancient Xiaguan Road. However, it is the narrowest and has holes in the rock wall, which can be used to attack the enemy. However, there is a waterfall two kilometers to the left, which is very loud and its sound can be heard far and wide. According to the report of the surviving soldiers at Feihu Pass, the enemy mage used magic to carve a passage in the rock wall with the help of the sound of the water and entered the pass. The defending general did not react quickly and died in the chaos."

"Red Sparrow Pass..."

"..."

Marquis Edmund listened attentively to Isidre's explanation and thought about the response plan in his mind.

"Red Snake Pass, General Warren took the initiative to order the abandonment of this pass."

"At Fire Crow Pass, all three thousand Fire Crow soldiers died. According to reports from scouts, there are holes in the walls of the pass, and it is suspected to have been damaged by violence. This proves that there are powerful enemies within the enemy camp. According to General Warren's guess, their strength is probably stronger than his, and they may be as strong as your deputy general, or even stronger."

Hearing this, Marquis Edmund interrupted Isidre's explanation with a wave of his hand and asked, "General Isidre, are you sure there is a big hole in the wall of Fire Crow Pass?"

"My Lord Marquis, the soldiers who went to scout Fire Crow Pass are my warriors. If you don't believe me, you can send people to check the situation at Fire Crow Pass. If they haven't repaired the walls, your soldiers should be able to detect it." Iside looked Edmund straight in the eyes, his face calm, and answered.

Seeing the other party's expression, Edmund was already 70% convinced, but as the commander of an army, he still needed to obtain first-hand intelligence.

"Uncle Leonard, please send someone to Fire Crow Pass for reconnaissance."

An old man standing behind Edmund nodded and disappeared into the hall.

"General Isid, please continue."

"Yes, Lord Marquis."

Ten minutes later, Edmund waved his hand and asked the generals of Youhu Pass to go down and rest, leaving his own generals behind.

Seeing this, the six generals standing on the left bowed and saluted, then quickly left the hall.

"Master, this pass is difficult to defend. We must make plans early." A general in black armor stood up and said softly.

Upon hearing this, Marquis Edmund nodded and said, "Uncle Linton, do you have any good suggestions?"

"Master, under the current situation, we have to carry out the order of Her Royal Highness the Princess. Otherwise, the royal family will use this as an excuse and the Isaac family will be severely punished or even stripped of their titles. Other families will most likely stand idly by."

"So I suggest that half of Isaac's Iron Army be deployed at Youhu Pass, and the other half be deployed at Viscount Hain's territory, 20 kilometers behind Youhu Pass."

"If the situation at Youhu Pass deteriorates, I will take over your guarding of Youhu Pass, and you will lead the elite forces of the family to retreat to Viscount Hain's territory."

“Even if you have not completed the mission of Her Royal Highness the Princess, the royal family will not take any action based on the blood shed by our Isaac family. They may even come forward to comfort the family in order to appease the other nobles.”

"In addition, you can retreat to the rear on the pretext that your army has suffered heavy losses. Once the situation worsens, you can lead your family to retreat to the German Kingdom and seek refuge with your aunt. With the army in your hands, you will definitely be valued by Marquis Harriman in this chaotic world, and your family will be saved."

Hearing his uncle's words, Edmund hesitated. This proposal was based on the premise of the sacrifice of important members of Isaac's family, otherwise they would fall into a passive situation.

While Edmund was thinking, everyone else stood where they were, waiting patiently for the head of the family to make a decision.

"Uncle Linton, on behalf of the Isaac family, I thank you for your contribution." Considering the situation, Edmund made a decision and saluted his uncle.

Seeing this, Linton helped Edmund up, his eyes firm, and said, "Everything is for the Isaac family."
