After experiencing a great battle with the Qinglong Knights, the glorious army led by Alvin finally successfully rushed out of the ruins of the ancient Bardia Castle.

Although this battle was not large in scale and not long, both sides killed corpses everywhere and suffered great losses.

But in general, the group of glorious legions led by Alvin and others, composed of the elite forces of Karthas was still a little stronger, and they would not have successfully rushed out of the castle.

However, the imperial soldiers led by Leat, an adjutant of the Qinglong Knights, were a little more, and they occupied the territory outside. Coupled with the several impacts of the cavalry, Alvin and others forced themselves to break out with the support of two mages, but they still lost a lot of troops.

Now, the two sides are basically maintaining an unbeatable situation between each other and confront each other by the lake of the fortress at a distance of two or three hundred meters.

“…”

"Prepare everyone!"

"We'll withdraw later!"

At this time, looking at the cavalry of the Azure Dragon Knights who had been lined up in front, and then, before the enemy was about to launch another charge, Alvin gritted his teeth and prepared to issue an order to retreat.

"But!"

"Alvin!"

"The Holy Sword must be still in their hands. Do we really want to retreat?"

Just now, a fire explosion technique bombed a group of cavalry from the Qinglong Knights' Order into the lake. Now, Hayn was slightly panting due to excessive magic power consumption, and then said to Alvin with some reluctance.

"yes!"

"If you work harder, maybe they will be defeated by us!"

"Then snatch the holy sword back!"

At this time, Princess Kalsas, who jumped off the white flying eagle beside her, was also a little angry and eager to instigate her, as if she didn't plan to go back empty-handedly.

"no!"

"Can't fight any more..."

"Those who are in front of us are not the main force of the Qinglong Knights at all!"

"Although this place is still a border area, a lot of the land here has been occupied by the empire, and they already belong to the rear of the empire. Once more enemy support comes, we will suffer!"

Looking at the highly-accommodating and experienced imperial cavalry ahead, watching them forming a loose but fierce formation and blocking the road tightly, Alvin did not dare to stay here and fight against those fearless enemies.

"Master Jessica, what do you think?"

So he turned to look at the legendary magician who was also very tired beside him.

“Alvin is right.”

"It will be a bad situation if you stay there."

"Get away!"

If Jessica's strength was due to her peak period, then a few hundred imperial cavalry would not be enough.

But unfortunately, her reincarnation technique makes her current magic as tender as her body. When the situation is stronger than that of others, even she has to choose to bow to reality.

"Everyone!"

"withdraw!"

Seeing that the great magician Jessica had the same opinion as hers, Alvin gritted his teeth and raised his hand and issued a retreat order.

"hateful!"

"Everyone withdraw!"

"quick!!"

He looked at Keith on the side. Although he was very unwilling to give up, Princess Shirley of Kalsas still had to repeat Alvin's order and commanded the large army to quickly retreat to the dense forest behind, intending to use the forest to delay the charge and pursuit of the Imperial Cavalry, and then turn to the deep mountains and withdraw from the mountain stream path when they came.

Soon, the group of soldiers of the Glorious Legion, who went deep into the enemy's back and failed to find the Holy Sword, fought several times and several times. At present, only five or six hundred people were left, and slowly retreated into the dense forest under the deterrence of Alvin behind the hall and a group of spearmen.

“!!”

"Adjutant Liat, the enemy ran away!"

"Catch it!"

Seeing that the enemy who had fought with him for a long time was about to escape, an imperial cavalry commander of the Blue Dragon Knights' Order certainly refused, so he wanted their commander, Liat, to order him to pursue him.

"No……"

"They have two mages and many spearmen. With the restrictions on the terrain, if you chase them, it's hard to say what the outcome will be."

Unfortunately, Liat shook his head and rejected the cavalry commander's request with an ugly expression.

The cavalry was not suitable for fighting in the jungle, and they had an absolute advantage just now and blocked the enemy in the castle, but they were still rushed out by the opponent. Now, in this case, if they rashly enter the forest and chase those elite enemies who are mostly light-fitted, then they might all fall into it.

"Ko Holy Sword..."

"What do we have to explain when Captain Leon comes back?"

Looking at the forest, although the imperial commander knew that continuing to pursue and fight was not good for him, he felt a little unwilling to accept the holy sword that had been pursuing for a long time.

“…”

"I will explain to the Leon Leader!"

"go!"

"First treat the wounded, then send someone to search for that castle!"

"besides!"

"Sweep the battlefield and arrest all the Kalsas who are not dead!"

Finally, he stared at the group of enemies in front where they disappeared for a while, looked at the frightened birds flying above the forest, and confirmed that the enemy was going further and further away, then, Leat, who was also unwilling to accept, put away the rifle in his hand in annoyance, and then ordered the commander.

Now, he is going to prepare for the upcoming Leon Commander.

Moreover, he had to think carefully about how he would explain so that he could be responsible for the situation where he clearly led the cavalry to come here first and blocked the enemy, but he could not control the situation, which led to the defeat of the battle and allowed the enemy to escape calmly?

Although Liat also knew that the other party would not hold him accountable in the end, and would even comfort him with lenient words?

However, Liat still felt a little sad and felt that he had let down the leader's expectations for him.

In this way, Alvin and others who were looking for the Holy Sword and the Azure Dragon Knights who were also looking for the Holy Sword fought in front of the ruined castle of the capital of the ancient Baldia Kingdom. The battle lasted for most of the day. With the death and injury of both sides and fearing each other, the battle ended with the successful breakthrough of Alvin and others.

After this battle, Alvin and others' intention to find the Holy Sword was officially declared bankrupt. Then, they unanimously determined that the Holy Gladiator Gulisa, like the magic sword, had already fallen into the hands of the Imperial Army at this time.

And it's all the same!

Leart, the adjutant of the Empire's Blue Dragon Knights, was also upset that the Holy Sword was snatched away by Alvin of Kalsas and others, and planned to inform them of the matter to His Excellency Leon, the leader of the Blue Dragon Knights.

...

In this way, when the people of Empire and Kalsas had fought for the non-existent Holy Sword and thought that each other had snatched the Holy Sword, a bad little girl had already returned to the Rock Peak Valley with Uncle Matthew holding the Holy Sword and Miss Aimeda holding the Dark Wand, and returned to the place where the dragon was captured.

"here it is……"

“??”

"Is it the entrance to the Yanfeng Valley mine pit?"

"Why are you back?"

Jumped off the dragon's back and looked around. Although I had only been there once, Aimeda and Matthew recognized the place where they almost burned to death at first sight.

In fact, they are still in fear until now.

After all, if the terrible little girl hadn't put a dark red lava shield on each of them at the critical moment, the terrifying breath that the giant dragon behind them blew out from the depths of the mine would have successfully burned the four of them into several cokes in an instant.

"Are you going in?"

"But, if you want to enter, you should go in from the cliff on the other side of the mountain, right?"

"The cave here is very small, and the dragon will definitely not be able to enter."

Aimeda, who didn't know what Annie wanted to do, quickly explained, and looked at the huge red dragon behind her, who was lying on the ground and was hurrying to rest and recover.

The hole in front of me was so small, but the giant dragon was so big that I was afraid that my head would not be able to reach in, let alone the huge terrifying body.

"ah!"

"Annie, you don't want to dig those magic crystals to sell money, right?"

Since he has returned to this place, Gniel of course has had the idea of ​​the valuable crystals in the mine again.

Moreover, he believed that no matter how they dig, there would be no danger!

Because, the biggest source of danger inside, the red dragon entrenched in the depths of the mine, has now become one of them.

To be precise, it has now become his exclusive mount for the Dragon Knight Mr. Gniel!

Although the little girl did not really hand over to him, and although he also did not learn how to communicate with the dragon, there was no doubt that the big guy must be his.

"If that's the case, remember to count me!"

Now Gniel is no longer alone. He still has a huge red dragon to support him. His savings over the years are probably not enough for the other party to make a day's salary, so he urgently wants to get a large amount of money as soon as possible, and it must be at the level of fortune.

Just so happens, the mine in front of you is the best choice.

He was already thinking about it. At that time, riding a dragon to smuggle ore will be safe and efficient. No anti-smuggling team from any country dared to intercept him. Moreover, the cargo capacity was large, so there was no better and more suitable idea than that.
