The beacon fluttered, and the river bank under the moonlight was stained with blood red.
When the fighting sound gradually disappeared, the Loren walked out of the camp, and the dark pupil looked at the corpses under his feet.
Under the moonlight of the bright daylight, the corpses of the centaur are like shells and gravel left on the beach after low tide. They are covered with land on both sides of the river bank, and no gaps can be found.
Even the endless river was stained with blood, and the broken bones were floating everywhere on the water.
Fuwo Woye, drifting pestle-not an exaggerated metaphor, but the most direct description of what Loren saw at the moment.
The battle was over when the machete horse flag appeared.
The Centaur army, who tried their best to siege the camp, was simply unable to resist the Poi Hach cavalry who had attacked from all directions, just like the waves.
In just a quarter of an hour, the battle changed from a staggered collision of canines to a one-sided slaughter.
The army of centaurs trapped in the crossing was forcibly divided into two by the endless river, watching the people across the river turn into corpses under the lances and sabers of the hussars, and then ushered in their own disaster.
At the end of the battle, the hussars who rushed back and forth did not stop, but spread out. They continued to hunt down all the crumbling fleeing centuries like a hunt, in groups of three and five, moving rapidly on the grassland.
It is worth noting that this army of Poi came from the west, and it also carried the scimitar horse flag, not the lunar gun of the Jonah family.
In other words, they came from Little Boy, the army of the Varna family.
With a weary sigh, Loren narrowed his eyes and looked at the Thousand Accounts City in the distance.
According to the original plan, Earl Seth Braha went to the Little Boyi collar, assembled a cavalry in the shortest time, and then joined with Selika with himself. Three days later, he besieged the Centaur army that besieged the thousand account city. but now……
Although Earl Seth was said to have high prestige in the Principality of Poi, Loren felt he could not believe that he could gather a force of 30,000 to 40,000 in one day.
Something must have happened, or something unexpected that I didn't know ... just like the Centaur suddenly got nervous and stormed his camp.
"I hate accidents ..." Shaking his head, Loren said to himself.
"Duke ..."
Earl Eckert came behind with a slight stun, frowning and stepping forward: "What did you just say?"
"It's nothing." Loren immediately changed the subject and turned his eyes behind him: "How is the situation of the various camps, did the casualties count?"
"Not yet, now the whole army is being trimmed." Ector shouted, sighing softly: "But thanks to the" condensation stone wall "provided by Master Ashamai, finally all the camps were not taken. After the breakthrough, the establishment is still intact. "
The black wizard was slightly awkward, and Loren himself was also very surprised-the ice wall blocked the cavalry, it seems that it can only appear inside?
But it is a pity that this method can only be used once. The Great Green Sea is not a long-term ice and snow mountain fortress, and cannot have sufficient water sources anytime and anywhere; just like what Master Ashamai said. Contingency measures only.
Not only that, in order to make up for the alchemy materials of the condensate, this time alone, most of the legion ’s inventory has been emptied; such a costly tactic, Loren ca n’t bear to come again for the second time.
"This is good news ... what about the bad news?"
"After this battle, our weight has been exhausted." Eckert said calmly: "Not only ammunition, fire oil and food; spare weapons, war horses, parts to repair armor equipment ... all started See the bottom. "
"If you can't get supplies again, you can only maintain one or two more battles at most."
"That is to say ..." Loren sighed, his expression somewhat helpless: "Whether we build a supply line from the Principality, or do we have to rely on the logistics of the Boi to maintain it?"
"The premise is that they really have to provide enough supplies, and they can be self-sufficient."
Eckert shook his head: "The Great Boye Collar fell, and the Thousand Accounts City was almost reduced to ruins-just the most basic restoration and relief, you can hollow out the Little Boyi Collar of the Varna Family."
"Boy people proud of the empire with horses and scimitars, but the vast green sea that can't be seen is not rich."
After hesitating, the Earl of Wrathburg paused and continued to say: "IMHO, what you should consider now is not whether to build a supply line for our army, but whether Grand Duke Laszlo Varna will open a lion, Ask you for assistance. "
"really?"
If it ’s just assistance, there ’s nothing wrong with it. We and Poe are both allies and we all need each other; but ... you also heard Guy Anglet say that this Grand Duke Laszlo Varna ... is not special People who like reasoning. "
The expression on Loren's face was a bit stiff, with the illusion that he was "fucked by a poor relative".
At this time, a team of hussars holding flags came towards the two. From far, they could already see the pale face of Earl Seth Braha, and the expression of rush and anxiety.
"Duke Loren!" Earl Sater shouted hurriedly as he turned over and dismounted, "We are late, I'm very sorry-haven't you had any accidents?"
Shrugging slightly, Loren greeted him.
"I didn't have any surprises, but you gave us a surprise." Looking at the hussars behind him, the black wizard raised his eyebrows. "This doesn't seem to be the time we agreed. The reinforcements are much better than you said. Now. "
Seth Braha froze for a moment, and smiled reluctantly: "Everything we do is to guarantee the safety of the Thousand Account City-of course, you and the knights of Byrne; Holy Cross blessed, there was no accident. "
"Unfortunately ... not so."
Earl Eckert said abruptly, staring coldly at him: "Your brother-in-law, Earl Bolino Bossival, who has looked forward to the peak, has already sacrificed in the battle to rescue Thousand Account City!"
Suddenly, Seth's smile froze in his face, his expression trembling slightly.
Loren looked at him motionlessly, his gaze calm.
At this time, the knights in the camp had also come out one after another, confronting the Poe Hach cavalry behind Seth Blaha, and coldly looking at the group of "saviour benefactors" who had just been released.
Although he has just won a difficult victory, the current atmosphere is far from being "harmonious", and there is no such thing as "blood is thicker than water".
After a long silence, Seth Braha slowly raised his head and said in a deep voice: "In the name of Poi, Duke Laszlo Varna invited you, and Duke Loren Turin met him."
"The Grand Duke has entered the city, and is now in the Duke Castle in the Thousand Accounts City. I am waiting for you, and the knights of Byrne!"
Loren raised his head and glanced at the Qiancheng City in the distance.
That is to say, he took the lead in stepping into the city while the Centaur Army was being dragged by himself?
"If the Duke really has this sincerity, he should come to invite him personally, rather than let the people around him summon." Earl Ecker said coldly: "Master Loren Turin is our Duke, not his vassal!"
"Here is just responsible for conveying the Duke's invitation, and expressing Boy's sincerity as much as possible." Seth Braha, who had just looked pale, was not humble at the moment:
"If you have any comments, please go to Dagong and tell him in person!"
Loren looked sideways, and Earl Eckert slightly behind him EbookFREE.me ~ gave him a very firm look.
"Well, since the Duke of Varna sincerely invited-all came, how could it not be there?"
"It's an honor for the Varna family to be entertained by the Duke of Bain, and it is also an honor for Thousand Accounts and the Principality of Poi!" Seth Braha nodded hard:
"Behine is always Boe's best friend, both in the past and in the present-when the two principalities stand side by side, it is the day of the Centaur tribe's demise!"
The black wizard smiled slightly, shrugged casually, and did not take Earl Seth's compliments to heart:
"Let us have a good look at how the famous Grand Duke Boi is going to entertain us!" ...
