Chapter 3: Trap (4)
The leader of the large force who was unlucky enough to be booby-trapped by Ethan would probably not find out until he died, and he didn't seem to be a threat just now, but he only knew that the exile who betrayed the Vault Dweller's Hill would actually do something completely against the Vault Dweller's Hill's survival rules and attack him. However, as everyone knows, at this time, Ethan no longer sees himself as a Vault Dweller from the moment he joined the remnants of Magellan, but a real Magellan.
Obviously, Ethan himself didn't expect that his blow would achieve such a good result. You must know that the other party should be one of the leaders of the forces who led a lot of people, although he did not kill the other two leaders of the forces who attacked him together, but the results were already very brilliant. Because, even if Ethan and the remaining soldiers of the Knights of Faith will die in battle or even die miserably because of this, at least this force that has killed the leader by itself is doomed to no longer survive in the Vault Dweller's Hill. He believed that once the matter was resolved, the power that had lost its leader would be swallowed up and eaten by the other two. After all, in this desolate world, one less competitor will undoubtedly be much better for your survival in the future. And who cares that they've fought with them?
In fact, just after the two leaders of the forces who escaped retreated, they were already thinking about how to divide the spoils after solving the matter in front of them. After all, these three large forces all have tens of thousands of people, and once one of them is eliminated, then the benefits to themselves are undoubtedly self-evident. After being safe, the leaders of these two forces didn't have much of the heart to focus on solving the dozen or so cavalry, but secretly ordered to wait until these cavalry and Anne's forces in front of them were annihilated, and then turn against this leaderless force.
However, things turned around after the death of this leader. So, does this leaderless force know its fate next? Of course it does. And in fact, they were the first to react. As Ethan and his knights struggled to resist the exiles of the other two powers, they silently retreated to avoid being at the center of the war. Then, more and more exiles took advantage of the darkness to quietly flee the area, hoping to protect themselves from this great conspiracy.
However, Ethan and his members of the Knights, who were at the center of the warband, didn't care what happened next, and in any case, even if the three forces really wanted to fight among themselves, it would definitely happen after they were eliminated. So the only thing Ethan must and can do now is to hold on and wait for reinforcements to arrive.
In this small area, thousands of people surrounded Ethan's dozen people in the center. Moreover, these people are still separated from their war horses, and everyone is more or less injured. It's just that the previous surprise attack caused the leaders of the three forces to die and flee. So in the next few minutes, the two sides just scolded and provoked each other face to face, but they didn't really want to do it. Now that the leaders are far away from the battlefield, no one wants to die for no reason for the exiles of those two forces.
As everyone knows, this is exactly what Ethan wants, and Ethan knows very well that it is impossible to confront so many exiles just by relying on the people in his hands, and even if he wants to escape, he is destined to have no possibility of escape because there is no war horse. As for insistence, what kind of jokes, even a mouthful of spit on the other party is enough to drown Ethan and them. Therefore, the only possibility of survival is confrontation. The only other way is to hope that there will be no civil strife on the other side.
Thankfully, Ethan is not dead. As time passed, the turnaround Ethan had been waiting for had finally arrived. And, as he had hoped, civil strife broke out on the other side.
In fact, civil strife is inevitable for these three forces, which are no longer on the same level. It's just that the two forces that are bent on devouring the dragons and leaderless didn't expect that the other party was also planning in their hearts at the same time. However, due to the lack of communication, the two forces did not know. That is, there are more and more people who run away unknowingly. It's just that this unplanned escape was soon leaked. When one of the exiles tiptoed to quit the warband, they were spotted by the exiles of the other two forces, and couldn't help but shout warnings. In this way, this shout was like a boulder breaking a pool of stagnant water, setting off a huge wave. And just like that, a large-scale civil strife began.
In this trap against Anne and Qi Tianci, in fact, the forces invested by the three forces are about the same, although these escaped exiles fled because their leaders died in battle to avoid their own annexation, but their own strength did not suffer much loss. After the escape was discovered by the other party, the exiles on this side simply no longer feared but began to merge with the other two forces for their own survival. Running away is a dead end for them now, and fighting for their lives may lead to victory.
In this way, because of the civil strife, Ethan, who was originally at the center of the vortex, became the safest person in relative terms. Because some exiles had no hope of escaping, they joined forces with the Knights of Ethan against the other two forces. In their opinion, it no longer matters what their leader died for, but how to save his life is the most important thing. In this way, Ethan's side became more and more numerous, and as the war dragged on, about a few hundred people had joined Ethan's ranks, and Ethan believed that more and more would join them as time went on. At this time, the most serious problem before him is no longer survival, but how to attract more and more people to join them. At this point, it no longer matters whether there are reinforcements or not.
Ethan also took the time to ride a war horse, and the original owner of this war horse is nowhere to be found. After a moment of silence, Ethan and the members of the Order returned the way they came, at this time he was no longer worried about his safety, and naturally the exiles would solve it for them.
However, will things really go as smoothly as Ethan imagined? Of course not, after a period of being caught off guard, the leaders of the other two forces reacted quickly.
