Lord: Start with the Pioneer Knight

"Rumors are rumors, I am me." Alice's beautiful face was expressionless and she said.

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 about it..." Thinking of the past, Alice stopped and said, "Forget it, let's just leave it at that."

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

"I didn't expect that Her Highness Alice, who is known as the flower of the Ansa Kingdom, had someone in her heart a long time ago. She may not have thought about it before she told others."

"However, the situation on the battlefield is worse than I thought, and it must be reported as soon as possible."

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

It seemed that the whole city of Solomon had become a little weird seven days ago.

…

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

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

He thought that he could reach the enemy for several months with the help of the ancient road of the Gorge Pass, adding another glorious deed to the Isaac family, but he did not expect that things in the world would change so much.

In less than a month, only Youhu Pass was left on the ancient road of the Gorge Pass, so how could he resist the armies of the alien gods.

Now, Youhu Pass only has 5,000 Youhu troops, 10,000 Gorge Mountain troops, 30,000 city defense troops and the 80,000 troops he brought, totaling 125,000 people.

Although the army seems to be huge, there are less than 70,000 soldiers who can fight, and only 30,000 soldiers who have entered the professional ranks.

According to the information he received, the number of the alien god's troops is as high as 40,000, all of whom are professionals, without a single ordinary human.

In this comparison, although he occupies the dangerous pass, he is at a disadvantage.

At this moment, a three-seal warrior entered the hall, knelt on one knee, and reported loudly: "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, Marquis."

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

"Yes, Marquis Edmund." General Isid replied calmly, then came to the sand table, took out the map stick, and began to explain the information he knew.

"Black Bear Pass, the reason for the loss is unknown. According to the deduction of General Warren, General Morton and their subordinates, combined with the information collected by the reconnaissance personnel, 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 garrison commander Lytton to break through the pass."

"Flying Tiger Pass, with a wall 36 meters high, is the lowest of the 13 passes on the Gorge Pass Ancient Road, but it is the narrowest, and there are holes in the rock wall, through which the enemy can be attacked, but there is a waterfall two kilometers to the left, with a huge momentum, and the sound of the flowing water spreads widely. According to the report of the surviving soldiers at Flying Tiger Pass, the enemy mage used magic to dig a passage on the rock wall with the help of the sound of the water, and attacked the pass. The defending general did not react quickly and died in the chaos."

"Red Sparrow Pass..."

"..."

Marquis Edmund listened attentively to Isd'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 the report of the scouts, there are holes in the wall of the pass, which is suspected to be damaged by violence. This proves that there are powerful enemies inside the enemy army. According to General Warren's guess, the strength may be above him, and it may be equal to your deputy general, or even stronger."

Hearing this, Marquis Edmund waved his hand to interrupt Isd's explanation and asked: "General Isd, 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 soldiers. If you don't believe it, you can send someone to check the situation of Fire Crow Pass. If they haven't repaired the wall, your soldiers should be able to detect it." Isd looked directly into Edmund's eyes, his face calm, and answered.

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

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

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 to let the generals of Youhu Pass go down to rest, leaving his generals behind.

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

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

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

"Master, under the current situation, we have to follow the orders 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, and other families will most likely stand idly by."

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

"Once 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 fail to complete 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, and may even come forward to comfort the family to appease other nobles."

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

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

While Edmund was thinking, everyone else stood in place, waiting for the head of the family to make a decision.

"Uncle Linton, I thank you for your contribution on behalf of the Isaac family." 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."
