The messenger's voice sounded from outside the door, "Lord Allen, General Salon invites you to the plaza." The soldier's voice revealed a hint of joy. It seemed that reinforcements had indeed come out of the forest avenue. However, according to Salon, it was very difficult for the Imperial Legion to transfer troops over, so where did this reinforcements come from?
Allen simply replied, "I'll be right there." He put on his robe and walked out of the room with Gojoseon.
It was still early, and the lead clouds in the sky had thinned a lot, revealing a light blue sky. In the east, there was a line of fish white, and golden morning light was slowly seeping in. However, the castle square was still dim. When Allen arrived, Salon was talking to the other two generals in the square. Hearing the footsteps, he turned around, and the old general's eyes lit up 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 Spear Guards!"
Orlando strode over with his spear in hand. This time, Jorah did not follow beside him. The Son of the Iron Spear nodded at Allen and then said to Salon, "I just received a message from my father. He sent us two thousand Iron Spear Guards. That's our most elite army. General Salon, you have to take a good look. We young men are not inferior to the Imperial Legion at all. "
Salon smiled and said, "I've long heard of the might of the Iron Spear Guards. Today, I finally have the chance to see it. Let's go, everyone. Let's go and welcome those lovely people. "
They left the square, rode across Lake Avenue, and stopped by the shore. At this moment, the morning light from the east had already spread through the woods, casting a golden light at the exit. They shone under the gray-white armor, reflecting dazzling rays of light. Allen rode on his horse and saw the elite army that Hoey had trained pass through the woods and walk towards them along the road. The Iron Spear Guards lined up in two rows. They were dressed in gray-white armor, carrying round shields and backpacks on their backs, and long sabers on their waists. But the most eye-catching thing was the spear on their shoulders.
Every iron spear was slanted backwards, and even in the midst of marching, the angle of the spears was almost the same. Under the morning light, it was like a moving steel forest!
When they were about a hundred meters away from the shore, the ten Iron Spear Guards on the left and right stopped. They turned in the opposite direction at the same time and strode forward. After pulling away for a distance, they stopped, followed by the second row, the third row … The rows of Iron Spear Guards dispersed to the left and right, and when the last two rows of soldiers stood in their predetermined positions, All of the Iron Spear Guards turned to face the lake at the same time and shouted in unison, the spears in their hands striking the ground. The sound of two thousand spears hitting the ground at the same time merged into a powerful sound that spread far and wide across the lake shore.
Such an imposing manner.
Salon secretly praised them. They were indeed the elites of the Marquis of Iron Spear. Just the quality of these soldiers was better than the warriors of the Bucks Army. Only the elite Bucks Army, the Thorny Deer Army, could defeat them.
Only after the Iron Spear Guards stood still did people see that there were other people behind them. Leading the way was the gray-armored and gray-robed Hoey. The Marquis of Iron Spear appeared in front of everyone in his armor that he had not worn for a long time, causing everyone to be shocked. Before Salon could say anything, Orlando had already stepped forward and knelt down on one knee in front of Hoey's horse. "Father, why did you come by yourself?"
"What, you can kill the enemy on the frontlines, and I can't come to the battlefield to have a kick?" Hoey dismounted and patted Orlando on the shoulder. "I've heard about your situation here. I'm glad that the unicorn territory hasn't lost a single inch of land. Orlando, you've done a good job. I'm proud of you. "
Orlando grinned and said, "If Lord Allen hadn't lent me a lot of experts, it would have been unknown whether we would have been able to hold the position yesterday."
Hoey rolled his eyes and smacked his lips, "It's a waste of my breath."
Then he welcomed Salon and Allen. The old general of the Bucks Army opened his arms and gave Hoey a strong hug. He was much taller than the Marquis, and Hoey's figure could hardly be seen under this hug. Salon said in a low voice, "How many years has it been since we last met, old friend?"
Hearing this, everyone knew that the two old men had been friends for many years. Even Orlando didn't know about this, and he looked at the two old men in confusion. Hoey clenched his fist and hammered the general's chest. "I haven't seen you since the day you insisted on staying in the Bucks Army," he sighed. "Thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye. Look, we're all old, but I'm going to have a grandson, and you're still a bachelor. "
Salon glared at him and said, "What's so bad about being a bachelor? In my opinion, you're just burdened by your family. Otherwise, why would you be a bullsh * t marquis and fight alongside me? Wouldn't it be better to kill the foreign races until they piss their pants?"
"This is what people call their own ambitions." Hoey shook his head and smiled, "But I'm not here today. We still have a chance to fight side by side. You should be secretly happy."
"Speaking of which, I really didn't expect you to come here personally. Are you worried about your son?"
Hoey looked into the distance to the west and said solemnly, "A few days ago, Marshal Roderick sent someone a message to me. It was said that one of the three Warlords would personally preside over this front. That old fellow Roderick hoped that I could contribute to the Empire." I thought that since I was at my own door, I would make a trip. Otherwise, if this place were to fall, then my Iron Spear Collar would eventually see the flames of war burning. "
"Grand Warlord? Do you know who it is? "Salon asked.
"I don't know. I just hope it's not that guy Rebian. He is ranked the lowest among the Three Great Warlords, but on the battlefield, his ability is the most troublesome. "Hoey shook his head and smiled," I forgot about His Highness when I was talking. "
"Which Highness?" Salon was stunned.
"Nonsense, which Highness is there in the south now?" Hoey smiled and said, "Of course it's 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 the other generals hurriedly stepped forward, and Allen followed. Everyone also half-knelt to Julian. Only Hoey had a special identity and only had to bow to Julian.
Julian smiled brightly and let everyone get up. Salon said in a low voice, "Your Highness, this is the frontline. With your noble identity, how can you appear here? Please leave, Your Highness. Otherwise, if anything happens to you, the situation in the empire will be even more chaotic. "
Before the prince could say anything, Hoey shook his head and said, "Salon has such a temper. Otherwise, after so many years, he would have become a general long ago. Old man, you deserve it. "
Salon glared at Hoey with an indignant expression, but he couldn't find any words to retort, so he could only sulk. Julian smiled and said, "General Salon, thank you for your concern. But as the successor of the kingdom, how can I hide in a safe place to enjoy peace during the war? If I want to do this, my father won't be at ease to hand over the throne to me. So if there's a war here, then I should be here. Besides, Marquis Hoey is here, as well as Earl Allen and the generals. If I still don't dare to come to the front lines, then I don't want this throne. "
The generals nodded their heads in their hearts, regardless of whether Julian's words came from the bottom of his heart or was just superficial. However, at least he was personally at the frontline. Compared to him, the other prince, who was still desperately consolidating his position in the imperial capital, was much inferior.
Salon sighed, "Since Your Highness said so, I won't force you. However, Hoey still has to deal with the Grand Warlord of the Shadow Duchy. Your Highness must remember to stay in a safe place so that this old fellow won't be able to take good care of Your Highness. "
Hoey chuckled, "You don't have to worry about that. Naturally, someone will greet the outsider Grand Warlord. Besides, I never said that I would personally deal with the top experts of the outsiders. I'm old, so let the young people fight for their lives. "
Julian smiled and agreed, "The Marquis is right. With that person here, Lord Hoey may not have a chance to play."
Salon said unhappily, "Who exactly is it? Tell me quickly so that I can make adjustments."
Hoey shrugged. Julian and the others beside him moved aside, and a thin figure appeared in front of Salon and the others. The man's long silver hair reflected dazzling light in the morning light, making it almost impossible to see his appearance clearly. It wasn't until he took a few steps forward that he could see his appearance clearly, but everyone, including Allen, cried out in alarm. This was because this person shouldn't be here. After all, he had helped Mason betray the empire. Now that he had appeared on the southern front, it was dazzling no matter how one looked at it.
One of the Ten Saints, Midian, the man known as the Twilight Prayer, nodded slightly to the crowd and said, "Don't be surprised. No matter what my previous position was, I am first and foremost a human. I also have my own family and clan, and I don't want to see them fall into the flames of war. My feelings are the same as everyone else's. Of course, if you want to pursue what happened before, then I have nothing to say. "
Allen glanced at Julian, who understood what he meant. He smiled and shook his head. "Two days ago, when this lord appeared in front of me, I was as surprised as everyone else and couldn't believe my eyes," he said on behalf of Midian. But I saw his determination in Lord Midian's eyes, and I believed that he would fight to his heart's content as a citizen of the empire. As for what happened before, I think we can put it down for the time being. Besides, he also brought news of Mason … Mr. Mason. "
