The Lord of the Rings: Lords of Middle-Earth

Chapter 129 Down the River

"How is it?" Ravian asked Hollin with an ugly face.

"To be honest...the Crusaders have been destroyed, and the archers and archers have also suffered a lot of casualties, but the most important thing is the Crusaders. There are no more than a thousand people who can breathe..." Huolin felt very sad. He could only count the battles just now. He was so damaged that he realized what a heavy price the soldiers of the Principality of Nyx paid in order to stop those damn chariots! Of the three thousand Crusaders, less than a thousand can stand up so far, and the enemy's corpses left in front of the formation are only a little more than a thousand. And the most deadly thing is that this is only the first wave of enemies, and there will be more after that. Whether there will be enemies chasing him is still unknown...

"Take the wounded, burn the bodies of our soldiers, and then retreat quickly!" Lavian issued this order with difficulty. After all, they no longer have the ability to give their fallen comrades a decent funeral. In order to prevent their bodies from being The enemies desecrated, and Lavian could only reluctantly order their bodies to be burned.

"Okay, I understand..." After a moment of silence, Huolin gritted his teeth and turned around to convey the order.

"Sir, the result is worse than we imagined!" A knight rushed over and said to Lavian.

"Tell me, I can still hold on!" Ravian cheered up.

"The only remaining Crusade organization has collapsed. Almost all the officers have died in the battle. Even Commander Rockefele (third-level berserker) has died in the battle. The highest-ranking officer that can be found now is actually a trainee soldier... "

"This is really the best news I've heard today!" Lavian laughed at himself, but his eyes were filled with unprecedented solemnity.

Although most of the Crusaders are composed of ordinary people, the officers of each ten-man team are led by professionals. A total of 300 warriors or trainee warriors under the leadership of the third-level berserker commander support this army. The backbone of the army, and facing the enemy, the Crusaders' officers naturally stood in front of the ordinary soldiers. Therefore, in the first round of collision, the Crusaders' officer queue was already in name only. The terrifying impact of that moment took away the Crusaders. Nearly 90% of the army's professional officers... so much so that after the battle, the number of surviving Crusaders officers was actually no more than two hands...

"It's so tragic... This wrong war must end. We chose the wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time..." Lavian sighed.

"We failed in this expedition..." The knight sighed, looking very lonely.

"Failed? Haha! Now I just hope that the surviving principality soldiers can escape unharmed! Winning or losing is no longer in my consideration!" A wry smile appeared on Lavian's face.

Gu Si

"Lord Lavian! The fire has been lit, and things that can be quickly moved to the camp have been packed!" Huo Lin returned.

Ironically, the chariots left by the chariot people became an important tool for the Crusaders of the Principality of Nyx to transfer the wounded and baggage...

"Leave this place where we shed all our blood and tears!" Lavian stared at the blazing fire in the distance, which was the burned remains of the sacrificed soldiers of the Principality of Nyx.

"Retreat!" Holling growled to the remaining officers surrounding him.

In an instant, the shrunken team left here noisily. Although there were constant groans and curses along the way, their marching speed and discipline were not disordered at all.

"Wow! This ship is not small!" Jesse Ava pretended to be exaggerated. At this moment, Lance and his party were waving goodbye to the Druid leader Bion beside the Carryan Ferry. They were holding their horses and boarding in an orderly manner. Boat.

"..." Lance rubbed his eyebrows. Having seen Galen's ships, he had no idea about these double-decker wooden ships. For him, any ship that can carry his army down the river is a good ship. .

"Stop sighing! Come with me!" Lance picked up Jesse Ava, who was standing on the shore and was about to sing.

"Hey! You're so rude!" Jesse Ava said angrily with his little eyes widened.
