Earl Baker had mentioned his second son more than once on the way, which was something that was simply unimaginable before.
He lamented that his unpopular second son finally had a chance to stand out.
Seeing that Count Baker was in such good spirits, Marquis Marco echoed him, but unfortunately they couldn't say a few words before their expressions changed.
Because the leading scout suddenly turned back and brought them very bad news.
"Sir, there is a dead end ahead.
There are cliffs on all sides, and there is only one path.
It is difficult for even knights to go up.
It is impossible for large troops to pass."
Naturally, it is impossible for nearly 30,000 troops to be gathered into one mass.
Even after entering the canyon, the combined forces of the Earl and the Marquis were divided into three parts.
The scouts are in the vanguard, and the two adults must be in the center to command.
The purpose of doing this is to be able to respond flexibly when an accident occurs, but the road that was supposed to be smooth turned into a dead end.
The earl who just praised his son had a dark face and didn't know what he was thinking.
Marquis Marco, who had little to do with him, responded quickly.
After fighting for so many years, his reaction in battle would definitely not be bad.
"Inform us, the rear team will become the front team, and the scout team will be responsible for the rear.
We will leave here immediately."
Earl Baker also said that the canyon is a good place for an ambush.
Now that the road ahead suddenly disappears, apart from traps, the Marquis can't think of any other possibility.
As for Steve's role in guiding them along this path, he didn't want to pursue it now.
Reminding the Earl who was in a daze, he said: "We need to evacuate immediately.
We can discuss anything after it is safe."
He clearly told the Count to settle the score with Steve afterwards.
Although Marquis Marco was sure of his words, both he and Count Baker knew that things would not be so easy.
Steve actually dared to point out a trap for them to follow, so there was no way he was just joking with them.
Thinking that Steve had told them everything, it was obvious that the second son of the Baker family was already in cahoots with Lorne.
In this case, the so-called internal strife in the Fast family definitely did not happen.
Then naturally there will be no one else ambushing here except Lorne.
In the Guardian Grassland, only the Fast family had the courage to attack them.
By the time they realized it was a trap and wanted to leave, it was already too late.
The Marquis's order had just been issued.
Before the people who received the order set off to inform their rear team, several fast horses rushed towards them from behind. .
It can be seen from the clothing that they are one of their own.
Moreover, with his embarrassed appearance and anxious expression before he spoke, the two adults had a bad guess.
Sure enough, the knight who caught up from behind reported directly.
"Sir, we have been attacked.
Judging from their coat of arms, they should be members of the Fast family.
Our number is not as large as theirs.
We have been forced into the canyon to defend, but if there are no reinforcements, we may be in a few hours.
I can’t hold on any longer.”
The task of the rear team is to ensure a retreat, especially in places like canyons where there is only one passage.
Once both ends are blocked, the one in the middle will immediately become a turtle in the urn.
As the lords of the North, Earl Baker and Marquis Marco knew this very well.
That's why they arranged for a team of people to guard the entrance of the canyon.
They were so thoughtful during the journey.

Count Baker and Marquis Marco were indeed not careless.
It's a pity that they didn't expect that Lorne's power would be so powerful.
The five thousand elite cavalry behind them actually abandoned the camp in the blink of an eye and chose to retreat into the canyon.
And according to the knight's report, after retreating to a narrow valley, they were unable to resist the invading Fast family.
It's not that the quantity is no longer greater than that of the Fast family, but the quality seems to be inferior to Lorne's army.
He wanted to ask in detail what kind of ability the Fast family, who had invaded by knights, could defeat the elite of the Marco family, but before the Marquis could speak, a loud rumbling sound suddenly came from the originally peaceful canyon. .
Listening to the sound, it happened to be where they came in.
Marquis Marco, whose face turned pale, recalled the night when he was attacked by the Duke of the Sea.
The earth-shattering weapon would never be forgotten as long as it was seen once.
But he didn't understand why Lorne had such a weapon.
It's just that this is not a good time to investigate.
From the stones and soil rolling down around him, he can guess what Lorne did with that weapon.
But Earl Baker, who had never seen gunpowder before, could not understand the current situation and avoided the falling stones.
He said: "There is an earthquake.
This is our chance to rush out."
A large amount of gunpowder was used to blow up the passage at the entrance of the valley, completely blocking the escape route of the Count and Marquis Marco.
The huge blasting power triggered a series of chain reactions.
It is no wonder that Count Baker mistook it for an earthquake.
Lorne himself was shocked by his masterpiece when he tried it for the first time.
Fortunately, his position was safe enough.
But the phenomenon of falling rocks made him worry about whether the canyon was strong enough.
If he put his modified person into it, if a collapse really happened, he would suffer heavy losses.
After slightly modifying the attack method, the Cyborg did not continue to pursue but instead used bows and arrows to consume the opponent.
As soon as Earl Baker finished saying that he still had a chance to rush out, the falling rocks above his head turned into a rain of arrows.
The condescending attack made the earl unable to speak any words.
However, under Lorne's prepared attack, not only did they not rush out, but they began to retreat step by step under the attack of arrows.
At the end of the canyon, Lorne prepared a big gift for them.
He used half of the gunpowder to blow up the entrance to the canyon, and he buried the other half underground.
After driving Count Baker and Marquis Marco's troops to the designated positions, Nancy and others led by Sophia will use the power of their holy flames to ignite them.
The main purpose of Lorne's reformers was to drive the earls and marquises to their graves.
After the rear troops arranged by the two adults were routed to their position and told them that the entrance had been blocked, they simply chose to continue retreating.
After gathering the scouts and vanguards who came to the rescue, they had lost almost half of their troops and had only one last option left.
At first, the scouts also said that although the large army could not pass the end of the canyon, the knights could use their strength to force their way out.
If you stay, you will definitely be shot to death by random arrows.
As the leaders of the army and the patriarchs of the family, Count Baker and Marquis Marco must find a way to escape.
Even if they leave their own troops behind, they must try to leave through the path discovered by the scouts
