The operation to rescue the straggler Marquis Dragonson went very smoothly. The Marquis himself is an outstanding and powerful knight. If he were not surrounded by the most elite White Guards and the Dogo Trolls were watching eagerly from the side, he would even May fight its way out on its own. Tomad and others launched a surprise attack from the outside, disrupting the orcs' position with one charge. Marquis Dragunson took the opportunity to break out of the encirclement and almost cut off the head of Dogo Troll. The leader of the White Guard turned around and ran away in fright, and the rest of the barbarian orcs also dispersed. Marquis Dragonson was still interested in chasing after him and killing him again, but Tomad sternly stopped him, "Your Majesty, your sword can't chop off the heads of all the orcs. After you return to the fortress, there will be many opportunities for you." Swing your sword until you vomit! Everyone is very tired now and must go back to rest. You must keep up this time, otherwise we will call you the Marquis of Lagging in the future!" Laughter spread, and the Marquis of Steel Fist had no choice but to touch his nose, and then Putting the Ripper back into the scabbard on his back, "Okay, you are the commander." He said with complaint, "I don't know if there will be a chance to exchange identities with Thoth in the future. He will definitely be furious if we go back this time. "Tomard didn't even have a hint of sympathy for him, "It depends on your luck, Lord Dragunson." After saying that, the young pilgrim raised his right arm and drew a semicircular arc in the air. line, "Now, we triumph!" "Triumph, triumph!" Everyone shouted in unison, the atmosphere was warm, and even the body wet by the cold rain seemed not so uncomfortable. There were finally no problems on the return trip this time. Tomad gathered his troops at the foot of the fortress's first wall, and then marched into the city. Of course they received a warm welcome like a hero, with voices shouting "Eyed Eyes of Death" and "Sword of the Sky" one after another. Many people also shouted the nickname "Shadow of the Steel Fist", but they received the nickname "Shadow of the Steel Fist". The burly knight, who was wearing a full-face helmet and even his visor, had several sad looks in his eyes. Half an hour later, the sky cleared up, and Tomad and Silva, who had washed away the dust of conquest, headed to the main fortress to attend an impromptu military meeting held there. Of course, Marquis Dragunson and Lord Toth were both present. The former's expression was a little stiff, while the latter's face was pale, but his whole body seemed to be enveloped in raging anger. It seems that Lord Toth finally knows what happened. If Marquis Dragunson wants to use the trick of exchanging identities to join the front-line battle, it will not be that easy. The scale of this military meeting was very small. Apart from the tired-looking Bishop Kurgan, the only other person present was Viscount Tonks, who represented the fortress guard. This Lord Viscount was born in the long-standing branch of the Anse Ayr family. He was very good at wielding a slender sword, and he also had a good skin. I don¡¯t know how many noble ladies he gained the appreciation of, and it also brought him a lot of fame. The same number of male love rivals. In the end, during a small affair, Viscount Tonks unfortunately climbed into a certain bed that he shouldn't have climbed on. After several games between the two parties, Viscount Tonks finally saved his head and was hanged by Viscount Tonks. The title was sent far away to Tallon Fortress on the border of West Wind County. The title of Viscount made Tonks the most distinguished commander among the fortress guards. In addition, he was very discerning and would never say a word in military matters. Therefore, during the general reorganization of the entire fortress, Viscount Tonks His position has not wavered at all, and he still serves as the commander of the fortress guard force, but his subordinates are empty, and even the dozens of family guards brought from Fillmeyer have been requisitioned. ?????????????????? If it were other noble children, they would obviously make a big fuss and cause a huge disturbance. Thomas had been prepared for a long time and wanted to use that beautiful blond head to show off his power. Unfortunately, Viscount Tonks knew how to judge people well. He didn't even say a word of objection and happily became a monk. The legendary magic sword "Steel Rose" is given to the warriors to kill the enemy and perform meritorious deeds. For such a noble lord who had no lower limit for concessions, even Tomad, who was bent on establishing his authority, could not find any good solution, so he had to let him continue to be a commander of the guard army with nothing to do. However, although he gave up the command of the army, Viscount Tonks seemed to prefer attending meetings, large and small, down to the smallest details. Tomad had seen him many times. He was well-dressed, low-key and luxurious, and his blond hair was combed. She has the most fashionable hairstyle in Chengdu, and her handsome face is radiant, as if the light will be brighter wherever she goes. This is not a knight, but an actor. Tomad made his own judgment, and through this period of contact, he became more convinced that his judgment was correct. Seeing Thomas and Sylva walking into the conference room side by side, Viscount Tonks immediately stood up and bowed with a somewhat exaggerated grace. His words sounded like an opera aria, "Let us welcome today's big break." The two young heroes of the Barbarian Army and the Burning Tower, your names will definitely be with this fortress and will be remembered by everyone in the empire.People will always remember it. " Tomard grinned in return, while Sylva simply didn't even look at Viscount Tonks, "I really don't know why this guy is asked to participate in the military meeting. "She murmured while sitting down. Although her voice was low, it could definitely reach the ears of everyone at the table. Viscount Tonks's face did not change at all, and the smile on his face was still enthusiastic. This is simply a special situation. Skill, Tomad thought he would never be able to understand it in his lifetime, but he was not envious. ¡°Viscount Tonks is the commander with the highest rank among the fortress guards. He has the right to participate in any military meeting unless he proposes it himself. Reason for withdrawal. "Lord Toth explained in a rigid tone that the First Branch Commander was a standard soldier and had absolutely no affection for Viscount Tonks. However, at the same time, he also attached great importance to military discipline and law, so he made this explanation. Viscount Tonks showed a grateful smile, and then sat down gracefully, "As an imperial border soldier, of course I must fulfill my duties. Although in front of you, I am not very knowledgeable and can't provide you with any great advice, but at least I can have an extra pair of eyes to see and an extra pair of ears to listen. Maybe I will be able to help you a little bit at some point. " These words cleverly deflected Sylva's rude question, but they definitely did not help Viscount Tonks restore his image in the slightest. Instead, they deepened his temperament of a politician and aristocratic child. Thomas turned his head. He no longer looked at him, but turned his attention to Marquis Dragunson, who was sitting in the chief position. Marquis Steel Fist looked refreshed and refreshed. Apparently, the cold and gloomy image he had seen some time ago had been gone for a long time. He was holding back a lot of killing. Seeing that everyone attending the meeting had arrived, he tapped the table with his fingers and announced that the first item on the agenda of the meeting was the statistics of results and losses. Lord Toth started. He picked up a piece of parchment and read out a series of numbers in a low voice. In the fierce battle on the first day, the fortress defenders suffered the heaviest losses, with a total of more than four hundred casualties and seven companies lost. Captains, two of them had to be removed from the order of battle due to excessive losses; the Pilgrim troops and the Knights of the Steel Fist also suffered losses, and the souls of eighteen Pilgrim brothers embarked on the road to the kingdom of the Lord of Justice. , the Knights of the Steel Fist lost 84 elite cavalry and 15 regular knights. In addition, four knights were seriously injured. Although their lives were safe, it was difficult to obtain due to the conflict between divine magic and fighting spirit. He was cured quickly, and it is expected that he will not be able to return to the battlefield within a month. The priests and herbalists at the medical center are still busy, and the number of casualties may change. Some of the companies with the most casualties are missing. Whether he fell off the city wall or was seriously injured and fell into coma can only be determined after a thorough headcount. However, this can be considered a very serious loss, almost one-tenth of the number of Viscount Tonks's defenders. He was pumping at the beginning of the first number, and by the time Lord Thoth finished reciting, his fair face was already white and transparent. ¡°Gods in the sky, have mercy. "He was the first to speak and said, "This is only the first day, and one in ten lives has left us. It is really a sad figure. " "The statistics on the first day don't mean anything. Lord Toth responded in a stiff tone, "The rice is separating from the bran." Viscount Tonks shook his long blond hair away. In the imperial capital of Fillmeyer, he admired the fact that this blond noble woman could form a fully-staffed standard company. "How do you say this?" Lord Thoth, aren't our food reserves still sufficient? Lord Thoth tried his best to resist the urge to slap this beautiful skin, and explained angrily, "This is a metaphor. It is not very appropriate, but it definitely does not mean to be disrespectful to the sacrificed warriors." In a war, the first to die are those who lack skill and luck. In a sense, after being eliminated layer by layer, the last ones who remain are the truly strong or heroes. " "Ah, I understand, get rid of the bad and retain the good, this sentence should be said like this. "Viscount Tonks expressed triumphantly. "Lord Toth felt that he needed someone's help to prevent him from rushing over and strangling the guy to death. Bishop Kurgan happened to play this role. Although the abbot of the monastery had already fallen asleep at every opportunity. It took several hours, but the rain-calling ceremony still left many traces of fatigue on him - such as dark circles under his eyes and sagging cheeks. "Today, eighteen brothers set foot on the journey to the glory of the holy kingdom of the Lord of Justice. As the abbot of Bablupa Monastery, I extend my sincerest admiration and heartfelt blessings to them. "The old man's voice no longer seemed vigorous and powerful, but he still spoke clearly," Tallon Fortress cannot be lost, because from here on, the tens of thousands of square kilometers of the entire West Wind County are safe.?. The city wall of the county town of West Wind is a full five meters shorter than here, and the garrison is less than two thousand, and there is no garrison of one of the four major knights of the empire. It can be said that the outcome of this war will determine the future of the empire for decades. " "You are right, respected Bishop Kurgan, but shouldn't we determine a range? Just continue to fight to the death with less than 5,000 soldiers and an army of 100,000 barbarian orcs? That probably won't end well. "Viscount Tonks sighed and said in a worried tone. "What do you mean? "Sylva spoke coldly. The young headmistress had no favorable impression of Viscount Tonks and never concealed her attitude. "Lord Viscount Tonks, are you trying to persuade us to surrender? "No, of course not, Miss Silva, how is this possible?" Viscount Tonks looked like he was insulted. His fair face turned red. He stood up from his seat and said, "I am a soldier guarding the border of the empire. Soldiers will never consider surrendering. They will only surrender." You have two choices, win or die! " These words were sonorous and powerful, but when Viscount Tonks said them, it always seemed like something was missing. Tomard was a little confused at first, and attributed this emotion to Mr. Viscount. Prejudice, but it didn¡¯t take long for him to understand that no matter how good his acting skills are, he can¡¯t express the passion and courage from the heart. Viscount Tonks¡¯ subsequent words confirmed this, ¡°But I believe that as commanders, we. In addition to courage, you should also have a flexible mind. Needless sacrifices are of no value to us personally or to the Empire, and we must be careful not to let our inflated egos obscure the imminent reality. " There was a strange sound in Sylva's throat, as if she was trying to suppress the urge to spit in Viscount Tonks' face. "What on earth is he talking about? The female chief turned her head and asked Tomad for help, "It sounds like common language, and I can understand every word, but why can't I understand the meaning when they are put together?" " "He is telling us that besides death and victory, there is a third way to choose. "Tomard raised his eyes. The flickering gaze in his golden eyes was extremely sharp. When he glanced at Viscount Tonks, his skin felt tingling. "Lord Viscount, if I am not wrong, Is that what you mean? "
