The system has to be used even if it is pulled

At dawn, the sun rose from the east. When the people of Issos went out tremblingly, they found that the streets had been replaced by teams of imperial soldiers.

The citizens, who had been looted for several days, finally felt relieved as the imperial army had finally arrived.

In front of the huge square of Issos, in the front is the cathedral of the Goddess of Creation, and behind it is the Lord's Fortress of Issos.

Nearly two hundred Sarleon soldiers were squatting in rows in the large square, naked. They were captured in the dark. Zhao Yuanlang's army was too fast. They had no time to react and were captured by Zhao Yuanlang and his men.

Their faces were filled with shame, for they were only wearing a pair of shorts, and their bodies were shivering slightly, because it was a bit chilly on that autumn morning.

Zhao Yuanlang sat on the steps of the cathedral, and Morgana directed his men to control the group of prisoners.

"Send someone to tell His Majesty that after a night of hard fighting, we have successfully conquered Issos. Your Majesty, please step out of the shadows, regain your strength, and send troops to help us defend Issos."

Locke nodded and waved to a cavalryman stationed at the bottom of the steps.

"Quick, give the letter to His Majesty, and be careful on the road. Go and come back quickly."

"Yes!"

........

Consul Justus, General Sidorius, General Valerius, General Titus, General Bienna, Lord Fabius and others looked at the imperial soldiers who released them, all confused.

"My lords, our General Zhao Yuanlang led his troops to attack Issos at night, and now Issos has returned to the embrace of the empire." Jack said expressionlessly.

This group of nobles were delighted. The imperial army has arrived. Long live it.

Archon Justus was calm: "What is the Kingdom of Sarleon doing!"

"Lord Justus, the Sarion troops are divided into three groups, and they are attacking Shieldwind, Walwyn, and Fort Amera respectively. Currently, except for Fort Amera, which is resisted by General Cleon and Baron Greve, the guard officer of the Knights of the Radiant Cross, yesterday afternoon, news came that Imaer was breached, Walwyn Fort was besieged, and Walwyn was looted. Shieldwind Fort and Fort Amera are probably in trouble."

It was a bolt from the blue. Justus and the group of nobles who were rescued felt as if they were hit hard in the face by a sledgehammer.

"My castle!"

"My money and my people!"

“My people!”

General Titus, Lord Dean, and General Valeus shouted one after another.

It shows here that Titus, the old bastard, only cares about himself, Dean is the cunning type, and Valerius is the fair character.

"No need to shout, it's no big deal. I guess Sarion will receive the news that Issos was breached this morning. They may transfer a large army to encircle Issos again." Zhao Yuanlang walked in majestically.

"What about the Cult?" Archon Justus asked worriedly.

"Not very good. After Sarion occupied Issos, he immediately drove away the Goddess of Creation. Now, Paladin Maximian and Priest Wendil are leading them to the vicinity of Fidena."

"Great, there's still time. We need to let them come back, otherwise we won't be able to defend Issos alone." Justus said confidently.

"Really?" Zhao Yuanlang was a little hesitant.

"I have to go. Will you come with me?" Justus' words made the rescued nobles think hard.

Issus was bound to be unable to hold out against a hastily formed legion facing an army of at least a thousand men from Sarleon. If he stayed here he would surely be captured again. If he didn't leave now, when would he leave?

The other nobles also said, "Let's go too. Let's go out and gather our men and come back to support Issus."

Among them were General Titus and Lord Dean, one of whom had lost his base, and the other whose base was surrounded and he couldn't mobilize any troops.

"Please, I am waiting for you to bring me good news and reinforcements."

"Chief! Like this..." Jack hesitated to speak.

"Forget it, let them be, a bunch of cowards. We can hold on here, and then I'll see what reward I get for this great feat. Iesus, haha, Justus, you won't have anything to do in the future."

.......

On the desolate imperial road, a team of five cavalrymen galloped quickly, and the refugees on the road hurriedly made way.

A sturdy man wrapped in gray linen looked cruelly at the galloping team and nodded at a drunken man holding a wine gourd beside him.

"That's exactly what I meant." The drunkard put the wine gourd away and then jumped up suddenly.

As the first batch of cavalrymen were kicked off by the man who leaped high, the remaining cavalrymen looked at the man in front of them cautiously with their weapons in hand, while the refugees around them fled quickly.

"what!"

Two more cavalrymen were kicked down by a burly man wrapped in linen who had come from behind them at some point.

"Good day, respected cavalry masters. What news are you bringing in such a hurry?" The drunkard asked mockingly after taking a sip of wine.

The remaining two cavalrymen were a little nervous. They nodded to each other, spurred their horses and fled in different directions.

But they thought too much, and when they exposed their backs, they were shot off their horses by javelins by strong men wrapped in linen.

"Oh? Incredible. The Empire has really produced some talent this time. It was the new general who defeated Duke Brunus who attacked the captured Issos at night and recaptured it."

The drunkard searched the letter from the cavalryman who fell to the ground.

"He has some skills. I remember he was a member of our Shadow Legion. It's a pity that he is in the Empire, and the pearl is covered in dust."

"Come on, Shira Yuzas, you still have the nerve to say that you are from the Shadow Legion. As a general of the Shadow Legion, you incited some members of the Knights, officers and veterans of the Empire to revolt. You still have the nerve to say that you are from the Shadow Legion. Your wanted posters will soon fill up Lake Issos."

"Shut up, Alaric, what right do you have to criticize me? Your wanted posters in the Kingdom of Sarion are enough to fill up Lake Afendol."

The two were none other than Shira Yuzas and Alaric the Noisy Drunkard. They were very fantastical people, and both of them had many supporters, especially Shira Yuzas. When he rebelled, nearly 20 shadow centurions chose to stand on his side and rebel together. You know, there were only more than shadow centurions in the entire Shadow Legion.

This does not include the elite members of the Immortal Knights who have joined him, as well as the elite subordinates in the order. He only has six or seven hundred people, but each of them is a brave and skilled warrior, and can at least fight against a thousand people without losing the upper hand.

As for Alaric, he was also very unusual. As a famous tavern hero in the Kingdom of Sarion, Alaric would not have been wanted by Sarion if he had not been an alcoholic, always fighting and killing others.

Having worked in taverns for many years, he has a good reputation and prestige in the middle and lower-level troops of the Kingdom of Sarion.

Otherwise, he would not have had nearly forty Sarleon knights, nearly forty Sarleon Guards, more than eighty heavy halberd guards, three hundred Sarleon guards, and a large number of recruited Sarleon deserters.

"It seems we need to turn back. Issos will be the place where we harvest." Shira Yuzas smiled.

Alaric nodded and said, "Then I will return to the Kingdom of Sarion. I will lead my army to arrive in a week. We will then give the Empire and Sarion a blow."

"Hahahahaha!"
