The Beastmen attacked in large numbers! The fortress of Ala Mountain Pass was lost. Almost all the men of the Purple-Gold Flower Qin family had died in the fortress. Hundreds of thousands of Beastmen army had come down from the south.

This news was transmitted by magic to Holy Dragon Empire's capital, Holy Dragon City.

Very quickly, this news was known by the higher ups of Holy Dragon City, and soon after, it spread throughout the entire city.

"What?" The Beastmen attacked with all their might, causing the Ala Mountain Pass to fall! " Sophie, who was sunning herself in the courtyard with Zuo Ye, hurriedly asked after hearing Zhou Tiancheng's words, "What about the students from Holy Dragon Empire's Royal Academy?"

"Reporting to Madam Sophie, I know that Rodan from the Royal Academy of the Holy Dragon Empire evacuated the people from the Royal Academy along with the Qin family when the Beastmen started their attack on the Ala Mountain Pass stronghold!" Right now, they are probably on their way back, "Zhou Tiancheng said respectfully." The Empire has already sent out an army to assist them, and I've also heard that there is a Saint Level expert at the Royal Academy's side to assist them. Furthermore, the leader, Rodin, is also a Saint Level expert, so it shouldn't be a problem for them to return safely.

Zhou Tiancheng had also just received the news that Rodin had died in the Ala Mountain Pass.

"That's good!" Sophie breathed a sigh of relief. "Be sure to bless Ringer! "You must ?"

"I'll go take a look myself!" Zuo Ye said, "Phil, don't worry, I'll definitely bring Ling'er back safely."

"En!" "You must be careful!"

"Ha ha!" Zuo Ye smiled and said, "Those beastmen can't do anything to me. Tian Cheng, go back and pay attention to the royal family and the dragon race's reactions. I'll go to the north."

"Yes sir!" Zhou Tiancheng responded respectfully and then left Zuo Ye's yard.

"Let's go!" Zuo Ye said as he gave Sophie a gentle kiss on the forehead.

"Hm!" Be careful! " Sophie said.

"En!" Zuo Ye responded, then turned around and flew up. With his full speed activated, Zuo Ye turned into a white stream of light and soon disappeared into the horizon.

Sophie looked at the northern sky and silently prayed.

There was a fertile land in the northernmost part of the Holy Dragon Empire. It was now autumn, and fields of ripe crops filled the fertile land, but no one had harvested the crops that were already ripe ? for the simple reason that the news of the Beastmen's assault on the fortress at the Alashan Pass had spread throughout the North, and almost all the people in the North, civilian or noble, were moving southward, and no one was going to harvest any more crops under these circumstances.

On an official road, a group of people were quickly rushing towards the south. There were only a few hundred people on the train, but there were close to a hundred carriages, as well as several hundred horses. To be more precise, each of them had a horse with them.

Now that the Beastmen had entered the city, everyone was moving their homes. The price of the horses had also skyrocketed to a terrifying level. Such a team of hundreds of horses was extremely rare. And this team of riders was the retreating students of Holy Dragon Empire's Royal Academy, as well as the family members of the Qin family.

The team of horses came from the north and galloped all the way there. When they saw them, all the migrating families made way for them. After all, it was obvious that this team of riders was not to be trifled with.

However, there was an exception. The road was blocked by two carriages that were placed horizontally on the official road. The owners of these two carriages were having an intense argument, and even brought out their weapons, making the atmosphere very tense. On the north side of the two carriages, there were over ten carriages and ox-carts being blocked by two ox-carriages.

"What's going on up ahead?" The leader of the Imperial Academy students from the Holy Dragon Empire, Vice Chairman Li, rode his horse to the front of the group and loudly questioned the dozens of people blocking his way.

"Vice Chairman Li!" "It was a dispute between two countryside nobles that blocked the way," said a Royal Academy Knight.

"Humph!" What time is it? They were still blocking the way for such a small matter, quickly send someone to persuade them away. If they can't persuade him, then they will forcefully open it, "Vice Chairman Li said resolutely," The Beastmen have already broken through the city and have already sent out their troops. Now, if we delay any longer, there will be one more danger. Go! "

"Yes sir!" The Royal Academy's protector led a dozen guards and rushed forward.

However, just as that guard separated from the crowd and rushed to the front of the two contenders, before he could say anything, the two guys who were in the midst of an intense argument had already stopped their quarreling, as they brandished their long swords in unison and greeted the guards of the Royal Academy.

At the same time, the spectators all took out their weapons and called out to the guards of the Royal Academy. The guards of the Royal Academy weren't mediocre people. However, they were all killed after being ambushed for a long time by a group of experts who were at least Rank 7.

At the same time those fellows destroyed the guards of the Royal Academy, arrows rained down from the trees on both sides of the main path. Many students and guards from the Royal Academy were injured by the arrows before they could react.

"Damn it!" Vice Chairman Li did not expect that his group of people would suffer a large loss when they encountered humans instead of beastmen. Immediately, he became furious.

In his anger, Vice Chairman Li did not lose his reason. Instead, he took out his sword and sheathed it over his head, before sending out a few sword Qis to kill the enemies who were rushing over. Then, Vice Chairman Li urged his horse to return to his own camp and loudly ordered, "Everyone, prepare for battle! The academy's guards formed a formation as they raised their defensive arrowheads! All the students are lying prone on the ground. Old Wang, bring a team of guards with you to protect the Qin family. "

During this moment of crisis, Vice Chairman Li had clearly not forgotten about his promise to protect the Qin family. All of the Qin family's forces in the Ala Shan Kou fortress had stayed behind to fight against the beastmen, and those that had escaped were all the elderly, women, and children. They didn't even send a single guard; in this case, Vice President Li could only send people from the Royal Academy to protect the Qin family.

These students who could participate in actual combat were obviously not weak. Although their actual combat experience was lacking, their theory and strength were indeed laid out there: After the initial panic, the students of the Royal Academy had already begun defending and retaliating under the direction of their teachers ? the Braveheart students took out their weapons and stood in front of the mages, the Mage students calmed down, and then they started to launch their magic shield and shield archery, shooting fireballs, ice arrows, and other attacks towards the forest.

Under these circumstances, the use of Cheap Shot's arrows was minimal.

As a result, the ambushers left a small portion of their archers in the forest to continue shooting, while the majority of the remaining ambushers rushed out of the woods with their weapons raised.

The forest and the public road continued on. The moment the ambushers left the forest, they would immediately rush to the centre of the Royal Academy's troops, where they would engage in hand-to-hand combat.

On the other hand, outside of the actual combat experience of the Royal Academy guards, the students were completely unable to count on this. In the middle of the team, a dozen or so thieves rushed out and went straight for Li Yun and Yun Ling'er, who were in the middle of casting magic. In front of Li Yunyun and Su Ling'er were a few intermediate and even advanced students of the Royal Academy. Li Yunyun and Su Ling'er thought they could rest easy with these experts, so they continued to cast their magic. However, the gap between the Thief and the student soldier could not be concealed: a student with the strength of an intermediate fighter was originally filled with confidence as he faced an ordinary Thief who did not even have dou qi, but when he saw the intermediate fighter who pounced on him, he disdainfully sent out a wave of dou qi. According to the academy's battle experience, this intermediate fighter believed that the opponent would retreat and dodge, before the intermediate fighter could fire out another wave of dou qi, defeating the opponent.

In the end, the frightened student was caught off guard and his arm was cut by a knife while he was dodging. This kind of small wound was much smaller than the one on the Thief side, it originally did not affect the student soldier's fighting strength, but this student soldier clearly had not experienced this before. After being injured, the student soldier loudly howled as he retreated, as if he had not been cut on the arm but on the arm.

The fight at the side was getting closer and closer. The students who were much stronger than the thieves had more or less all been healed by the attacks of the thieves. When they saw the bloodied and malevolent look on the thieves' faces, they all started to retreat.

The student soldiers retreated without any pattern, leading the blood-faced Thieves to rush directly in front of the two mages, Li Yunyun and Su Ling'er. If a warrior got close to them, the battle prowess of the average mages would be far inferior to that of the average mages, let alone the pampered ones like Li Yunyun and Su Ling'er. Seeing the thief's face filled with blood, the magic staff in Li Yunyun's hand fell to the ground and she immediately squatted down to vomit. Su Ling'er didn't vomit, but she was so scared that her face paled and her body trembled.

At this moment, the thieves rushed to the front of Li Yunyun and Su Ling'er and hacked their sabers towards them. However, the thieves didn't kill Li Yunyun and Su Ling'er. One of the thieves knocked Su Ling'er out with a knife in the back of her head, and as for Li Yunyun, who was squatting and vomiting on the ground, one of the thieves kicked her down to the ground. After that, the thieves continued chasing after the fleeing student soldiers with their weapons.

Very quickly, the horse carriage that Li Yunyun was driving rushed out of the battlefield and sped toward the main road, not looking for a path to take.

Even if they noticed it, it would be useless. Currently, the thieves were concentrated in killing the level 9 and 8 teachers of the Royal Academy. They couldn't find the strength to stop these small-scale escapes!

Yes.
