960 Chapter 999: the retreating Blue Dragon Army

“What? The Guardian of Blue Dragon City?”The castellan of Kate City, Count Spaulen, hurried to the city gate. He, who had always paid great attention to his image, did not even have time to put on his shoes before he ran into the carriage.

A year ago, Blue Dragon City announced that they had begun to collect resources from all the cities in the south to strengthen their defense line. They said that they would raise a large number of soldiers to defend against the terrifying evil spirits in the northern forest. In order to live peacefully, they were threatened by the strong soldiers of the major families, they would also silently contribute a large number of resources.

In other words, in the past year, Blue Dragon City had replaced the Imperial City and became the target of everyone’s worship. There was even news that two months ago, Blue Dragon City was going to rebuild the Knight Academy and recruit outstanding students to train, it was as if they were going to rebuild the empire.

After this news was released, some of the nobles even secretly discussed it. However, most of them did not have any objections. As long as they could continue to maintain the decent lives of the nobles in the south, they did not really care who was in charge. Of course… “…”. Some of the more ambitious ones were thinking about whether they could participate in the reconstruction of the university and allow the southern mages and scholars to participate in the political discussions.

They were originally trying to test and compromise with each other. Why did the Guardian suddenly come to their side?

Siboyin felt that things were getting worse. He remembered that he did not mention anything about participating in the political discussions. Of course, the main reason was that it was useless to mention it. Their Orlando family did not have any mages at all!

After the carriage arrived, the castellan hurriedly put on a pair of military boots with the help of the soldiers and quickly ran toward the city gate.

“Sir Guardian…”at the city gate, the count heard a voice that was neither servile nor overbearing from afar. “Opening the city gate is such an important matter, and the count still has to give the order personally. He has already sent people to inform Sir Siboyin urgently. Please wait patiently, Sir Guardian…”

Luke, who looked tired under the city gate, looked up at the knight on top of the city gate. He was different from the city guards who were so scared that they stuttered. The person who spoke was obviously a man who had walked out of the battlefield.

Luke respected such people, so he nodded slightly and did not speak anymore. In an instant, the entire army was as quiet as a pile of statues.

On the city gate, David took a deep breath. Having been on the battlefield, his eyes were very sharp. With one glance, he could tell that these soldiers had obviously been defeated by some kind of attack. Not only were they worn out, but they were also in a sorry state, there were also many injured stretchers behind them.

But even under such circumstances, they could still maintain such an exaggerated military discipline. It could only be said that they were a battle-hardened army!

But what made him even more curious was what could cause such an army to retreat to a place like Kate City? Was it internal strife. Or…

David looked at the sky. Perhaps it had something to do with this strange phenomenon!

Just as David was puzzled, a soldier sneakily ran over and whispered in his ear, “Sir, the count has called for you to go over…”

David frowned slightly and thought to himself, ‘why is that guy still nagging if he doesn’t hurry over to open the door?’. ‘If I really wait for him to get impatient, he won’t end well for you…’. …

He quickly walked down the city gate and saw Spaulding below waving at him.

The corner of David’s eyes twitched. What was the duke thinking about this kind of profiteering? Even if the young lady’s reputation was damaged, he should at least find a decent one, right?

“Sir Count…”David walked forward and said weakly.

“David, it’s great that you’re okay!”Sperin looked concerned. “I had people look for you all night yesterday!”

Hehe… “…”. David did not believe a single punctuation mark on these words, but he still forced himself to say gratefully, “Thank you for your concern, sir.”

“Then… that David…”the count said carefully, “What’s the situation outside? Why would the guardian of Blue Dragon City come to our small place?”

“It’s possible that something big has happened…”speaking of serious matters, David’s face became serious. “There are at least tens of thousands of soldiers. They are all first-class elites!”

“Tens of thousands of soldiers?”The count took a deep breath. “Then… how long do you think they will stay here if we let them in?”

David said, “It depends. If It’s a short rest, they should leave after a day or two of resupplying. If they want to use this place as a stronghold… they might not be able to leave for the time being…”

“Then what do you think is more likely?”

“The latter…”

David directly broke the other party’s fluke, making Spaulding’s face turn extremely ugly.

It wasn’t that he deliberately picked a bad outcome to say, but to tell the truth, from the Blue Dragon City’s retreat route, if they wanted to retreat and defend, they should have gone through White Cloud City, blue Ding City, which wanted to replenish a large amount of resources, was obviously the best choice, but it just so happened that the small path took Kate City’s remote location.

Not only was this place small in size and lacking in resources, but it also had a low strategic position. Its only advantage was that it was not easy to be discovered, and it was more defensive. It was suitable to be used to avoid a wave of dogs.

If this was the function, then the other party would not leave for the time being… …

“David, if I choose not to open the door, can you withstand the pressure?”Sperin hesitated for a moment.

David stared blankly at the other party. He had the urge to pry open the other party’s head to see if it was made of tofu, after holding back his emotions for a long time, he said, “I can try to hold on for a quarter of an hour for sir so that Sir can make use of this time to write a will…”

Sperin:”…”

This annoying fellow’s mouth was still as tricky as ever. If it wasn’t for the fact that there was no one available, he wouldn’t have bothered with this arrogant fellow.

At the thought of this, he glanced at the knight generals behind him who were trembling in fear. He felt a wave of helplessness in his heart. It was true that most of the Knights in the South were idiots.

“Sir… … Don’t hesitate anymore … …”David could not help but say, “I know that you are afraid that Kate City would not be able to withstand the consumption of so many soldiers, but you must know that we do not have the ability to refuse. If we really make the guardian rush in impatiently, it would not be as simple as losing money and resources…”. …”

“I see!”Said sperin, waving his hand wearily. “Then open the Gate… David, come with me to meet the Guardian in person!”

“What a surprise… This native planet has such a pure Titan…”

Under the stars, Maya, the Enchantress, watches the dog with a scroll.

“This Titan’s body training is not bad, its foundation is very solid, its bloodline should be very pure…”. The female knight rarely agreed with Maya’s point of view, “A Titan with a normal bloodline would not be able to train its body to such a level at his level … …”

Maya glanced at the female knight. Ever since the former third overlord, the Ace Titan Army, was annihilated by Cang Yue, this survivor had always been very quiet, but when she met Outstanding Titan Juniors, she would often appear very interested.

Therefore, Maya controlled the scroll and directly jumped in front of Brother Dog.

Using a low and distant voice, she said, “Mortal… Do You Desire Power?”
