Chapter 17 The Aftermath of the Catastrophe

The huge explosion obviously affected Eleanor and the others halfway up the mountain, and even from such a distance, they could still feel the powerful impact. Some of the soldiers and vehicles at the rear of the line were affected by the shock wave, and the people who were shocked flipped on their backs.

"Such amazing magic?!What the hell is going on!!" Eleanor, who was directing the soldiers to help the beast cart get out of trouble, walked towards the rear of the team, and asked the non-commissioned officer beside her.

"General Eleanor, the reconnaissance force has observed a massive explosion at the foot of the mountain, probably caused by Iska and Lord Gardia fighting the enemy. ”

"The big explosion!?is it an enemy attack?" her heart suddenly rose to her throat, and she couldn't help but worry about the safety of the two of them.

"I can't be sure, but it's hard to imagine that such a large-scale explosion could have been caused by those two young ladies, so there is a high probability that it will be caused by an enemy attack. ”

"Damn, if this is a powerful attack directly against our convoy... Eleanor frowned, and she was at the end of the line.

"Let all the heavy armoured corps gather and start marching towards the foot of the mountain! no matter how great the sacrifice is, we will not be able to allow such a powerful attack to hit our convoy. She ordered, turning her attention to an overturned beast cart on the side of the road, the wheel hub had been damaged in the aftermath of the concussion, so the beast cart had to be abandoned, and the sappers in charge of logistics were trying their best to move supplies out of the car.

"Damn, what's going on next. She slowly jumped onto the overturned carriage, and then looked at the foot of the hill behind her, where the billowing smoke still hung below, and it was impossible to see what was going on there from her position.

After a while, all the heavily armored soldiers armed and holding huge shields gathered in front of her.

"Lord Eleanor, the Heavy Armor Corps has been assembled according to your orders, but do you really plan to let them break away from the main army and go down the mountain to block the enemy... The non-commissioned officer on the side asked with a little uneasiness.

"At this point, there is no other way, I know very well that the Heavy Armor Corps is the last line of defense to protect the beast carts, and at the expense of mobility to gain almost the most resolute individual defensive ability, they are a group of guys who are only suitable for collecting and not attacking. ”

"In this case, if we send them out rashly, not only will our beast chariot troops lose their last line of defense, but even if they encounter the enemy, they will have almost no means to attack those knights except for being passively beaten, which is too dangerous to do. ”

"Needless to say, if the enemy really launched an attack on us like the one just now, the entire army would be destroyed as a result, and you all be aware that even if it costs you your lives, you will keep the enemy at bay!!!" said Eleanor, drawing her sword from her waist and intending to lead the hoplites to stop the enemy herself.

"Please wait a minute, if you, as the commander, go out in person, then the entire army will be leaderless, in this case......"

"Shut up! I'm determined, don't get in my way anymore! Get the troops out of trouble as soon as possible, this is what you need to do now. Eleanor shouted loudly, and then led the heavy armament regiment towards the foot of the mountain......

It may be that the previous acceleration flight consumed too much strength, and Gardia seemed to be a little physically exhausted.

After dodging the aftermath of the explosion, the two barely settled on a high ground next to the hillside, which was high and had a relatively wide field of view, allowing them to see the entire mountain road completely. Due to the previous explosion, the entire mountain path was blocked by heat and smoke, and as a result, it was a very favorable situation for them, the enemy could not break through further, and the two were given a respite.

"With steep cliffs on both sides, the only access road is now in such a miserable situation, does that mean we can breathe a sigh of relief for a while? Iskar sat down on a cobblestone with Gardia.

"It seems that it is safe for the time being, and those knights wearing armor and riding four-legged monsters should not have the ability to climb the mountains and get around, but we still need to be vigilant. Gardia replied.

"Okay, the necessary vigilance is indeed due, but the two of us were really handsome just now. Iskar sighed as she recalled her previous experience.

"It's really a good shot, if you don't shoot your sword accurately enough, or if I don't fly fast enough, I'm afraid we'll both be caught in the explosion, and it's impossible to sit here and gasp for breath now. ”

"I really have a different opinion of you this time, I didn't expect Gardia, who has always been more conservative, to think of such a bold battle, and even I was shocked. ”

"Am I conservative?"

"Hmm... It's not so much conservative as it's a bit stereotyped, right? It seems that you guys in the heavenly realm are like this, and you will never do anything beyond common sense. ”

"yes, I guess I've been influenced by that guy a little bit. Gardia said with a smile.

"Sure enough, it's because of Haruka, Gardia you... Iska seemed to be about to say something when Eleanor came from the back hill with her heavily armed regiment in front of the two of them......
