At least a third of them died at the hands of the indigenous coalition forces in the Ural Mountains, and the remaining third were also wounded and could not recover their combat effectiveness for a short time.

They hurried back to the barracks, but halfway through the crowd, a large number of soldiers, wearing heavy armor, fell into the moat, and then, without even a slight struggle, they quickly sank to the bottom of the river, leaving only a circle of ripples on the surface of the river.

It is true that the piranhas could not gnaw on the sturdy armor, but because these armors were not all sealed, the river made these armors become prison cages, and eventually suffocated to death.

Fortunately, on the battlefield in the sky at this time, the Baltics had the advantage and stopped those dragons and dragons who wanted to fall from the sky and beat the water dogs, otherwise the losses would have become even more heavy.

The Baltic spellcasters began to enter the battlefield, and they used magic to directly disperse the cavalry of the coalition forces in the Ural Mountains that were raging in the field, and the wolf cavalry and orc cavalry with little protection could not hold out for too long before being defeated.

Subsequently, both sides on the battlefield began to rout, and the losses of both sides were extremely heavy, even because of the dispatch of the caster's troops, the Baltic who once again held the initiative on the battlefield did not dare to continue to attack.

After defeating the cavalry, they began to cover the retreat of their troops, and when they returned to the barracks, the servants who had already prepared handed over the potion that had already been boiled.

The chaos continued into the evening, leaving only one carcass uncleaned, and a large number of crows and vultures and other scavengers feasting.

They only ate for an hour or two, because the night was home to the more powerful animals, and the cunning scavengers would not put themselves in the sights of such dangerous hunters.

In today's battle, whether it is the Baltics or the indigenous coalition forces in the Ural Mountains, they are all losers, and both sides are silently licking their wounds in their camps.

The camp of the Baltics fell silent, they did not expect that in the case of occupying such a great advantage, there would be such a loss, and the enemy on the opposite side, with traps and stratagems, pulled back.

And in the makeshift camps of the coalition forces in the Ural Mountains, it was not just silence that could be described as unattended and demoralized soldiers were not heeded, and wounded soldiers were not treated.

Each tribe gathered its own troops, and those tribes had their banners in their corners, and their leaders went with their own guards to find Golia.

Among them, the figure of the werewolf chief is gone, and he is replaced by a similar-looking, but younger-looking werewolf, several tribal chiefs turn together, and go to look for Golia.

They can't accept such a situation, for the sake of victory or something, they treat them as victims or something, they absolutely can't accept such a simple explanation, such a thing, definitely not something that can be ended in a few words.

But when they came to Goliath, the anger burning in their hearts was like a basin of cold water, and only a little flame swayed in the wind.

A group of giants were surrounding Goliath, and judging by the grim countenances of the giants, they would strike back without mercy if they tried to attack at all.

"Goliath, I need an explanation. ”

The first one who couldn't bear it was the werewolf boy who had just become the chief of the tribe, with a hideous anger on his face, trying to control his emotions as much as possible, he didn't care about his life, he was willing to exchange his life for the death of the enemy, but he was not representing a person, not a son who had just lost his father, or the chief of a large tribe.

"There's no explanation, it's just a backhand, and if you weren't defeated, this backhand of mine would always be a backhand, and it would never be used. ”

Goliath's face was as cold as a thousand years of ice.

"Now you have only two choices, continue to participate in this war, fight for your homeland, or turn around and leave here, and I promise that I will not stop you from leaving. ”

Goliath's words made the tribal chiefs hesitate, they had now suffered heavy losses, and they feared that if they continued, all the warriors of their tribe would be left on the battlefield.

However, they did not dare to leave like this, because they had seen the cruelty and ruthlessness of Golia, and they did not feel that such a departure would not lead to the retaliation of the other party.

After all, if they had won a victory here and repelled the Baltics, there would be no place for them to survive in the Ural Mountains, and they would have been ridiculed as deserters by everyone.

In essence, as long as they can keep their calm, they should definitely not appear here with the army now, after all, on the battlefield before, the combat effectiveness displayed by those giants to bring victory is an existence that must not be ignored at will.

"Don't you want to go back, if you don't want to go back, then just obey my commands, just follow my orders, just like you did, follow Attila's orders, obey my orders. ”

Golia shouted at these powerful chiefs, completely ignoring each of these tribal chiefs, who had the power to tear her apart easily, and there were no other overly complicated factors, just because she could bring victory to the people, defeat the invincible Baltic people, and expel these foreign invaders from their homeland, and that was enough.

"Or do you think I should tell you about my plan, and then let one of you tell the Baltics about it?"

Goliath asked mercilessly, "It's almost a well-known problem, and among the chiefs of their tribes, some of them betrayed them and made contact with the Balts.

Of course, it is very difficult to find out this person, after all, their so-called coalition forces do not have any intelligence department, or even if they find that person, they have no way to deal with it, after all, the other party will not sit still like this.

If there was a large-scale battle in the situation and environment at that time, then this so-called coalition army would not have to fight with the Balts, and it would have fallen apart directly, and it would have been the best outcome for each to return to its own home.

The so-called inquest of these tribal chiefs came to an end, but something was still subtly changing, and Golia's control over the entire army was declining, even worse than before.

Because, she needs to go through the tribal chieftain to be able to control and command the army below, but it is very obvious that the situation has become worse because of the victory achieved yesterday.

Of course, the benefits were not without it, and after the victory spread throughout the Ural Mountains, more tribes decided to participate in the war, willing to trust Goliath's abilities, because this victory proved her abilities.

As for what she had done before, it wasn't really a big deal, because they had lived through the era of Attila's rule, and they had participated in more brutal battles in Atira's army.

Compared to Attila, Golia's actions are really not something difficult to accept.

Like a snowball, countless tribes began to defect to Goliath's men with equipment and dry food, and soon the original tribes were diluted to very small numbers.

Those disgruntled tribes can't do anything if they want to set off some storms at this time, because their power is being infinitely weakened, and if they are expressing dissatisfaction, they may be thrown directly onto the battlefield as cannon fodder for the first wave of attacks.

But not all races like the orcs, they like to fight, and many of them only come to participate in this battle for the sake of their homeland and the interests of their tribe.

Therefore, the weakness of the so-called coalition forces is so obvious that each other has its own calculations, and even if they have the same goal, it is difficult for the same enemy to twist their forces together.

On the side of the Baltics, it is indeed difficult to be happy to have suffered a heavy loss, but the most important thing now is to solve the problems that arose because of this defeat.

The wounded soldiers were treated, and all the bodies that could be recovered were recovered and properly buried, and then the commander of the Sixth Army wrote a rare letter asking for help from the Imperial side.

Now it is no longer a situation that needs to be ignored, because of this failure, in a sense, he is already a sinner, and he can continue to be the commander here, and it is not without the intention of letting him wear the guilt and make meritorious contributions.

In the case of such a huge difference in combat effectiveness, it is still possible to come up with such an achievement, no matter how many angles you look at, it is the mistake of the commander of the Sixth Army Corps, or his carelessness.

However, coming from the Empire, Semiramis's words made the Legion Commander breathe a sigh of relief slightly, and then a huge burden weighed on his heart, making him even more careless.

Semiramis put it this way, "He just made a mistake that anyone can make, and if he were punished for such a small mistake, then the empire would not need to go to war, because war is never only a victorious thing." ”

Although there is indeed nothing wrong with this sentence from a logical point of view, saying such a thing at this time is tantamount to an affirmative support for the commander of the Sixth Army who has just made a mistake.

It was enough to make him feel guilty and moved to tears.

Now this resolute soldier is constantly patrolling the barracks, to calm the emotions of those soldiers under him, in his spare time, he will let his heralds and intelligence officers gather together to discuss how to conduct the next battle, no longer have the arrogance of formulating tactics before, but put down his body to really listen to the opinions of others, and really consider the ideas of others.

Of course, the original tactics can no longer be used, and the traps placed on the second and third walls have to be removed and rebuilt, although the amount of work is very large, but this is something that must be completed.

In addition, he also asked the caster to reinforce the ground, isolating the possibility that the other party could directly use magic such as [Earth Shaking and Mountain Shake] to destroy the land of the camp, causing it to collapse.

Not only that, but all the surrounding woods have been cut down and transported to the camp as timber, where they can be used as materials for making arrows, and there will be no possibility of releasing water in the next battle, so the consumption of arrows will definitely increase exponentially, and relying only on those transported from the empire is still a little insufficient in quantity.

In addition, reinforcements from the Baltic Empire soon arrived, soldiers drawn from the Fourth and Fifth Legions, including a large number of werewolves suitable for fighting in the mountains.

The lost legions were quickly restored, and because of the disciplined nature that the Empire had always emphasized, there was no need to worry that the new soldiers would not obey the orders of the commander of the Sixth Legion.

Now all that needs to be done is to fight, and without any change in the goal, use such a means of warfare to hone the soldiers under them, so that they can gain experience and grow.

However, this defeat was actually not without gains, at least more troops gathered around Goliath, so that she could get more tribal support, and then they could be concentrated, so that the empire could more easily kill them and completely wipe them out.

However, it is understandable that the news of the defeat of the Baltic Empire has spread throughout the Northland, attracting everyone's attention, and there are already people preparing for it.

Because they have discovered through this defeat that the empire is not as strong and invincible as they imagined, since even those scattered and weak natives of the Ural Mountains can do it, there is no reason why they can't do it.

To sum it up, the defeat of this battle is indeed not a good thing, because it will destabilize the situation that has been finally stabilized completely, and it will also thwart the plans of the Baltic Empire elsewhere.

No one would be so willing to simply lose their freedom, lose their status, lose their power and become part of the Baltic Empire, and no one would simply give up their faith, abandon their ancestral culture, and accept a strange break.
