Chapter 254: Dexia moves, the empire withdraws!

"Marshal, when are we going to attack?" asked one of the Imperial Army generals.

Marshal of the Imperial Army, Justes looked at the sun above his head, and said with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth: "Now the Lion City should be in a melee, pass my order, attack!"

The horn of the Imperial Army sounded, and Elfwan's heart cooled, although he also had more than 2,000 people, but he didn't expect that this time the Imperial garrison in the Seven Cross Fortress poured out, more than 5,000 people.

The cavalry of the Imperial Army charged, and the soldiers under the command of Duke Elfwan were not vegetarians! The two sides fought together, but the Imperial Army was numerous, and Duke Elfwan was defeated one after another.

At this time, Erfwan heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from behind, turned his head to look at it, and smiled slightly in his heart, His Royal Highness Mo Shen really came!

Mo Shen took the lead in rushing to the battlefield with eight hundred iron horsemen.

"Brothers, follow me to kill!" Mo Shen roared, the banner gun in his hand kept waving, the life of the Reaper Imperial Army, and at this time, Mo Shen took out something similar to a signal flare from the system backpack, pulled the safety and hit the sky.

In the rear of the Imperial Army, Justus frowned and said, "How could the battle in Lion City end so quickly?"

With the passage of time, Teddy led two hundred tigers and leopards to kill from the right side, and a wave of charges brought the lives of nearly six hundred imperial troops, and at this time, Djole and others also led a large army to rush over, this time more than 4,000 people came, plus the soldiers under the command of Duke Elfwan, the battlefield reversed!

"Damn, did the defenders of Lion City surrender directly?" one of the Imperial commanders roared.

At this moment, from their rear, a herald galloped in and shouted: "Report! Urgent military situation! The army of the Duchy of Dexia has raided the Sava Fort, and the Sava Forts urgently call for help!"

"Bastard! Descha is actually sending troops at this time!" said Justes angrily.

"Marshal, what shall we do? shall we continue the fight, or shall we return to help?" asked one of the commanders.

"Nonsense, of course, it's the withdrawal of troops back to the Sava Fort! Once the Sava Castle is lost, our empire will be in danger!" Justes roared.

Seeing that the imperial army was retreating, although Mo Shen didn't know the reason, he had no intention of continuing the pursuit, who knew if it was a trap.

"Everyone hurry up and clean up the battlefield and return to Lion City, something must have happened in the empire!" Mo Shen said.

As the sun set, Mo Shen led an army of five thousand to return to Lion City.

"Deyoer, Byrne, Sadriko, you pacify the soldiers, whether it is Mo Shen's army or the defenders of Lion City, I will pay the pension for the fallen soldiers, I can't let our good sons of the Lion Realm shed blood and tears!" Mo Shen said in front of all the soldiers.

"No!" the three shouted.

"Swear to follow His Majesty Mo Shen to the death!" the soldiers roared three times in a row.

Returning to the palace bedroom, Mo Shen looked at the task panel, at this time there was only one last task left, that is, to unify the Pande Continent, the entire Pande Continent was divided into five kingdoms after the fall of the Pande Dynasty, the Lion Realm, the Raven Realm, the Principality of Dexia, the Empire, and Fieldsway.

It's not easy to complete the final task, and then some of them are busy, thinking about the next step, Mo Shen has been thinking about it, with the technology of this era, what other black technology can be made, such as ballistas, this world has sulfur......... Although there are few of them, is it possible to make gunpowder.........

However, it is not a matter of a day or two to make gunpowder, from the material to the composition and the craftsman to make the test, it takes time to prepare, not to find, especially sulfur is not easy to get in this world.

At night, the Lion City was very peaceful, Mo Shen's army and the defenders in the Lion City were already exhausted from today's successive battles, leaving enough soldiers to patrol the city tower, and the three armies soon entered a state of rest.

At this time, there was no Imperial Army on the wall of the Sava Fort on the border of the Empire, and when Marshal Justes led his troops to fight with Mo Shen, outside the Savo Fort with only 500 garrisons, the 5,000 troops of the Principality of Dexia launched a surprise attack, and the Dexia people, who were good at fighting, took only half an hour to capture the Sava Fort.

When Justus led the army to arrive, it was too late, at this time in the Sava Fort, the army of the Duchy of Dexia was defending the city, because it had fought with the Mo Shen army before, at this time there were only more than 4,000 soldiers under Justes, although there were still many elites, but the Duchy of Dexia was not vegetarian.

"Marshal, we've already fought five rounds of charges, and we've lost more than half of our dead and wounded, but the rain of arrows in the Duchy of Dexia is too fierce for us to climb the tower!" said a commander with blood on his arm.

"General Valerius, your injuries ..........," Justes said.

General Valerius casually ripped off his cloak, wrapped his arm briefly, and said: "Marshal, this injury doesn't matter, my lord was hit by an arrow in the right shoulder just now, and he has been sent down for treatment, and General Agathon and General Titus are also seriously injured.

We only have less than two thousand people left, and the elite of the Shadow Legion has already suffered one-third of the casualties, if we don't retreat, I'm worried that the successor reinforcements of the Duchy of Dexia will arrive, and we will all have to explain here, and if we don't withdraw what Ziyao said, I'm afraid that the Lion Realm will take the opportunity to recapture the Seven Cross Fortress. ”

“................ Let's withdraw to the Seven Crosses Fortress first, and go!" said Justes coldly.

The imperial army withdrew to the Seven Crosses Fortress and returned to the castle, Justes asked coldly: "I'm so angry, what is the way of the two hundred cavalry that Mo Shenjun suddenly killed today?

"My lord, I have never seen the standard armor weapon war horse worn by this group of people. General Valerius said.

"Hmph, send the spies of the Shadow Legion to the major towns of the Lion Realm to find out the information, with the strength they show today, I am afraid that they will be in a big trouble in the future!"

"Report! His Majesty Marius has decreed that Marshal Gistes has not been able to fight in an unfavorable manner, and now, remove Marshal Justes from his post and appoint Consul Livius to replace Marshal as Marshal, and bring 5,000 troops to reinforce Fort Sava on the same day, and Archon Justes will return to the imperial capital as soon as possible!" the herald said word for word.

"I know, you go back, I'll clean up here, and I'll be back tomorrow, go down!" Justes said coldly.

After the herald left, Justes said angrily: "Bastard! Since the declaration of war with the Lion Realm, the merits of labor and management are not counted as the merits of the brothers? Now that the situation is stable, I take the opportunity to put his brother-in-law on the throne! Damn!"

"Your Excellency, all of you have been seriously wounded, and I think you should be allowed to withdraw and recuperate. The staff on the side said lightly.

When Justes heard what his staff said, his eyes lit up, yes! Lao Tzu's soldiers were seriously wounded and could not be withdrawn to rest? When the time came, it would be difficult to say whether the Seven Crosses Fortress would still be in the hands of the Imperial Army.

"Haha, you're right! General Valerius, you go and inform General Titus and the others that tomorrow you will leave five hundred defenders, and the rest will withdraw with me!" said Justus.

Of course, General Valerius understands the consequences of this, but these commanders also have anger in their hearts, it is clear that they have fought hard with blood and sweat, and because of a defeat, His Majesty will erase their merits, and give their territory to his brother-in-law, not to mention them, even the soldiers below will not agree!

"No!" said General Valerius.

The next day, Mo Shen received a report on the battle between the Duchy of Dexia and the Imperial Army on the eve before.

"Your Majesty, after the Duchy of Dexia has taken the Sava Castle, it will be a threat to us in the future, and the Sava Castle is too close to the city of Kelledan!" Sorrento said.

"Well, but the Imperial Army stationed in the Seven Cross Fortress is very badly damaged, and this is also an opportunity for us to arrange our spies to find out the information!" Mo Shen arranged.

"Your Majesty, do you want to ............." Sorrento did not continue.

"You're right, go down and prepare!" Mo Shen said with a slight smile.
