Chapter 664: Gorge Mountain Ancient Road - Brave and Coward

The moment the Fire Crow Pass was breached, Red Snake Pass guard General Quintina directly led his men to retreat to the rear without any hesitation.

"General, what should we do?" the Fire Crow Army deputy general asked, with fear in his eyes.

Darnell looked at the oncoming enemy troops, and then at the Red Snake Army who retreated without hesitation. His eyes were full of anger, and he said loudly: "Send the order and defend Fire Crow Pass to the death."

"yes."

The deputy general of the Fire Crow Army shouted loudly to overcome the fear in his heart.

The Fire Crow Army distributed throughout the pass began to gather at the pass. The one who arrived at the Fire Crow Pass ahead of the army was the Fire Crow, driven by the Beast Envoy.

Thousands of fire crows gathered together and breathed flames into the gap to delay the enemy's attack.

Dorsius looked at these "beasts" with contempt in his eyes, inspired his fighting spirit, and used the combat skill [Thousand Water Blades].

Blue sword light flew out like raindrops, passed through the flame barrier, and flew into the fire crows.

In just an instant, hundreds of fire crows fell to the ground and lost their life breath.

"Release the Fire Feather Arrow."

Upon hearing Darnell's command, the beast made the control part of the fire crow flap its wings and release the blood-red feathers.

Facing the blood-red feathers flying out from the fire curtain, the attacking soldiers of the fifth battalion did not hesitate at all, speeding up and charging forward.

To soldiers wearing sophisticated warrior armor, these seemingly scary blood-red feathers cannot break through their defenses.

Behind the army, hundreds of archers bent their bows and fired arrows. In less than a moment, they cleared away the fire crows blocking the gap.

Thousands of warriors passed through the fire curtain, entered the pass, and collided with the Fire Crow Army.

Darnell drew his sword and rushed forward with determination in his eyes.

The fall of Fire Crow Pass was inevitable, but it had nothing to do with him, Darnell.

He is the guard general of this pass. Just as he shouted, he will defend the pass to the death. If the enemy wants to completely occupy the Fire Crow Pass, they must pass over his body.

The sound of weapons clashing, soldiers shouting...

Inside the Huoya Pass, fires were everywhere. Many soldiers set themselves on fire, jumped off the wall with barrels of kerosene, and rushed towards the soldiers of the fifth battalion.

Facing the one-sided massacre, no one in the Fire Crow Army retreated. Even death would delay the fifth battalion.

Dorsius bowed the three officers and looked around, with a hint of admiration in his eyes, but his movements were not slow.

On the right side of the battlefield, faced with the siege of two high-level silver warriors, Darnell was ultimately outnumbered. Looking at the spear piercing his chest, images of relatives far away in the royal capital flashed through his mind, and his eyes gradually dimmed.

He thought of his gentle wife and lovely children. Their smiles seemed to still appear in front of him, but now they were out of reach. A deep feeling of powerlessness came to his heart, and his body became heavier and heavier.

A high-level silver spearman pulled out his spear, picked up a broken sword that fell on the ground, and said to his comrades beside him: "Are you coming, or am I?"

Another high-level silver swordsman took three steps back and said, "Come on."

"Okay, then I'll do it."

The high-level silver spearman came to Darnell, the broken sword in his hand flashing with cold light.

He swung the weapon without hesitation and slashed at Darnell's neck.

There was a crisp "click" sound, and Darnell's head fell to the ground.

The high-ranking silver gunner picked up the head, looked at it carefully, and then tied it around his waist.

Faced with the siege of the two of them, it was remarkable that this enemy with only high-level silver strength could hold on for so long.

As time passed, as the last Fire Crow Army soldier was killed, it was announced that Fire Crow Pass had officially fallen into their hands.

The battlefield was devastated, with bodies lying scattered in pools of blood. The blood dyed the ground red, intertwined with the blazing flames, forming a shocking picture. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and smoke, making people feel suffocated and nauseated.

A low-level silver warrior entered the Fire Crow Pass holding a flag high and handed it to Dosius.

Taking the flag of the Prayer Star Leader from his subordinates, Dorsius went to the wall of Huoya Pass, pulled out the flag representing the flag of the Kingdom of Anza, threw it under the wall, and then threw the flag representing the Prayer Star Leader. The noble flag was placed at the highest point of Huoya Pass.

Looking down, the entire pass was covered in blood.

Everywhere he looked, besides corpses, was flames.

Half an hour later, a high-level silver swordsman came to Dosius and reported loudly: "General Qi, our army won a great victory in this battle and killed 3,326 of the defenders of Huoya Pass. No prisoners."

"How many casualties have our troops suffered?"

"Back to the general, twenty-three of our troops were killed in this battle, and two hundred and thirty-three were injured. They have recovered under the treatment of the priest." Hearing this, the high-level silver swordsman replied.

"Take care of the bodies of the fallen soldiers." Dorsius looked up at the flag fluttering in the wind and said, "As for the corpses of the enemy soldiers, find a quiet place and bury them."

"After counting the heads that are used as certificates of military merit, they should be buried together with the corpses of the enemy soldiers."

"Yes, General."

The high-ranking silver swordsman beat his chest in salute, turned around and left to convey the order.

The next morning, Wei Lin led the Chinese army to Huoyuguan.

Entering the pass, the strong smell of blood hit his face. In such an environment, Weilin listened to Dosius's report without changing his expression.

Dorsius knelt down on one knee, bowed his head and replied: "This subordinate has made the decision without authorization, please punish me."

Welin walked up to help Dosius up, patted the dust off his armor, and said, "I don't think this is a sin. Even I would choose to do this."

"Although the defenders of Fire Crow Pass are the enemy, they have proved their loyalty to the Kingdom of Ansa with their actions. I admire them very much. You are right to do this."

"Pass the order down, each soldier of the fifth battalion will be rewarded with 15 gold coins, a bottle of wine, and a deer leg. Other merits will be recorded for the time being. After conquering Solomon City, they will be rewarded together."

"Thank you, Lord, we will dedicate everything to you."

The 3,036 soldiers of the fifth battalion bowed their heads and saluted with respect in their eyes. Their voices echoed in Fire Crow Pass, confirming their loyalty to Weilin. .

After ordering the troops to station, Weilin came to the wall of the pass and studied the statue of the fire crow standing on the wall of Fire Crow Pass. It was similar to the different animal statues at the previous pass, and still did not see any clues.

…

On the ancient road near the Thunder Eagle Pass, the Red Snake Pass guard, Quintina, had a red face and tightly grasped the iron hand that was pinching her neck.

“General Warren asked you and Daniel to guard the Fire Crow Pass, but you dared to abandon the pass and escape.” Valentine, the deputy general of the Ghost Fox Army, pinched Quintina’s neck, his eyes full of anger, wishing to tear this woman into pieces, but when he thought of her relationship with the Princess, he resisted the urge to do it.
