Chapter 571: Return for Help
"Sir, we cannot retreat now. Our warriors have not been defeated yet! I believe in the soldiers of the empire." The fifth-level divine choice guarding the side angrily yelled, "The noble coalition forces in front will soon come back to support. To retreat now is to risk death. ”
The real disastrous defeat occurred in the rout, not in frontal combat.
"Then hit it and I'll moisten it."
Fernando didn't even call for the guards, he turned around and ran away.
"Huh?" The guards were all dumbfounded.
The commander's central army began to flee, immediately causing the newly gathered Imperial Legion to collapse. The soldiers who were still fighting fiercely one second dropped their weapons and ran away the next moment.
Deserters don't think about what they will do if they run into the enemy again without their weapons. They have only one thought in their minds: escape.
The moment the great rout began, a massacre a hundred times more brutal than the previous massacre began.
The overwhelming enemy cavalry, like herding sheep, chased and killed the defeated army running around. The defeated troops pushed each other, and if they fell to the ground unfortunately, they would be trampled to pulp. If they ran slowly, they would be beheaded by the enemy knights. A single cavalryman could chase and kill hundreds of people.
"Stop."
Field, who was heading towards the noble coalition, suddenly ordered the army to stop. He turned around and looked at the main battlefield, listening to countless screams.
Field's thoughts were racing, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he snorted: "The Imperial Army suffered a disastrous defeat. I believe there will be a chicken eating contest soon."
The direct army suffered heavy casualties, but the nobles suffered little loss. If the host is weak and the guest is strong, there is no doubt that the empire will fall apart.
Without being too pessimistic, Field was actually excited. He secretly thought: The opportunity has come, faster than I thought.
"Sir, let's retreat quickly. I feel that enemy cavalry is chasing us." Asuna's ears kept wagging, like a sensitive little radar.
"There is no need to retreat yet. The coalition of nobles has returned to support." Field held a gun and jumped on his horse. "It seems that there are many loyal people. Maybe they haven't realized what the defeat of the Imperial Legion means."
Field saw on the mini-map that the elites of the Noble Legion were returning for reinforcements.
"We will join the noble army and have a fierce battle with the rebels!"
"What are you doing? Sir, why did you run away just now? Now that the main force has been defeated, what are we going to do?" Kuai Jian, the mercenary captain, was frightened and his face turned pale. "Run away, sir. I have an eighty-year-old man at home. Father and eighteen-year-old mother, I can’t die.”
"Yes, it's too late for the noble army to return for reinforcements now." Another mercenary shouted.
"This is an order."
Just one glance at them and they shut up and behaved.
"But, we will lose." Asuna didn't know what Field wanted, so she whispered, "Sir, do you want something? I'm not afraid of death. I will just lead the army to get it. You can leave quickly. "
"What are you talking about?" Field laughed angrily and asked Asheina to eat a roasted chestnut.
"That..."
"Time is pressing, prepare the army for war." Field ordered loudly. Seeing that Ashina and others were also confused, Field had no time to explain too much, but solemnly said, "Believe me, we must fight now."
"Okay, no matter what decision you make, I am willing to go with you." Asuna said with a fierce fighting spirit.
Field knew better than anyone that if three empire-level countries were fighting, getting involved would lead to death.
Moreover, the Queen and the imperial officials were even more vicious. They kept digging holes for themselves and even tried to kill themselves. As a result, they themselves suffered backlash. If they had gone to help them fight before, wouldn't it be a shame?
This was also one of the reasons why he had previously stood aside and refused to join the battle. There is no benefit if you win. If you lose, you will be reincarnated. You are stupid to resist the line. The Imperial Army deserves to be beaten. So damn meow, so damn meow~
However, the imperial army was defeated and running in all directions. Instead, he had to work with the nobles to support them and swim upstream. It doesn't matter even if you are defeated, this is a strategic decision.
Field let out a long breath: It's time to increase his prestige, collect the defeated troops, and use them for his own use!
"Turn the army around and move forward immediately, Griffin Empire, your loyal baron is back."
After turning around and marching for only a quarter of an hour, Field ran into a rebel scout.
"Haha, keep running away, keep running away. You useless Imperial people like lice, let's see where you go."
More than fifty light cavalrymen mistook Field for a lost soldier and rushed over in a hurry. In their eyes, these are military achievements and trophies.
"Come on, come on, I'll take a step back now, even if I lose." Field yelled, "Fire the arrow!"
There was a creaking sound of strings being pulled, and hundreds of feather arrows flew out from the night leading formation, hitting the opponent's knight head-on.
There was a solid rain of arrows, and the horses overturned. Fifteen or sixteen of the knights were hit by arrows and fell off their horses.
"attack."
Field took the lead, his fighting spirit surged wildly, his lance fluttered like a butterfly in his hand, and he stabbed four horsemen in a row.
Without giving the other side a chance to regret, Ye Mu led the cavalry to swarm forward and cut down all the enemies.
"keep going."
The main battlefield came into view, with rivers of blood, corpses everywhere, and broken flags everywhere.
Field's timing was just right. Elector Jiawen from the Noble Alliance arrived. He had already received the information. He glanced at it and frowned: "What's going on? The Imperial Legion was defeated, and the territory was not even expanded."
"It's too careless. Her Majesty the Queen should not appoint a new person to be the commander-in-chief." Xilios looked down at the brutal war underground with a cold face. However, he was not in a hurry to take action, but was prepared to guard against his real opponent.
"I am the King of Heroes, you are free."
Audrey appeared in a flash: "The Griffin Empire has suffered a tragic defeat. No one needs the emperor anymore, and all the nobles are no longer bound by the queen."
"Humph, traitor, I have no intention of listening to your nonsense."
Xilios twisted the red bow string, and four arrows condensed out of thin air. The shocking murderous intent made Audrey's face look extremely ugly. The ground around them was trembling and churning, and many soldiers could not even stand firm.
"Go!"
The arrows blasted out, sweeping through the surging red light and tearing the sky apart.
Audrey held the artifact in her hand, opened a hundred space barriers, and collided with the arrow.
The gorgeous explosion brought with it a billowing heat wave, and with just one blow, Audrey was hit so hard that blood spilled from the corner of her mouth: "Huhu~ The injury has not healed yet, and fighting now is too reluctant. However, I must buy time."
"Listen to me, Helios."
"I'm too lazy to listen to your traitor's nonsense."
There was a loud buzzing sound, and Xilios shot another white arrow, and the gorgeous arrows struck like meteors.
"It's so bullying, I have to say it." Audrey dodged and used her divine power with a dark face, shouting to the coming coalition of nobles, "Listen, the empire betrayed you, and their plan is to let you die. ”
