"Chapter 129: Capturing the Enemy General"
True comfort does not depend on your external circumstances, but on your inner peace.

No matter how much Roderick and Hall tried to recover, they could not change the fact that Lucy's two flanks had collapsed, and Roderick and Hall, who were trying to save the defeat, fought hard in the rout, and looked at Lucurus, Antio, and others.
Luculus, who is steady by nature, will only command his Roman youth army and Roman heavy infantry in a step-by-step manner, and defeat those enemy forces that have not yet collapsed one by one, and Nelson, whose army has suffered heavy losses, has no intention of winning the battle in front of him.
Nelson, who knew that he had made a big mistake, saw so many cavalry under his command die on the battlefield, and the pain and sadness in his heart could not be described in words;
Nelson, who had been thinking about the gains and losses of victory and loss, and the amount of military exploits, was already full of guilt and self-blame at this moment, he felt that he had betrayed the trust of the governor Bai Feng, he was sorry for the cavalry who died in battle, and he had no shame to return to the Essini Kingdom to face the family who died in battle.
At this time, Nelson's heart can almost be described as discouraged, unable to concentrate, he only ordered his regrouped light cavalry to pursue the scattered and fleeing enemy troops, and no longer paid attention to the situation of the battle.
On the contrary, Antio, who was still fighting high, was unwilling to accept the loss of his elite cavalry in vain, and he was not depressed like Nelson, but chose the enemy's main generals Roderick and Hall as his revenge objects.
More than 2,000 hoplites of the Hammer Legion were sent out by Antio in squadrons to assist the light cavalry of the Roman Spear Legion in pursuit of the enemy's rout, and he himself personally led his general guard to the unusually conspicuous Roderick and Hall!
The general's guard composed of forty-four Roman heavy cavalry, whose average strength was that of a low-level and high-level swordsman, far surpassed that of the average Lucie warrior, and the Antio, who commanded them, was also a great swordsman at the pinnacle of the realm, and their charge was even more invincible!
All the Lucie warriors who stood between Roderick, Hale, and Antio, whether they were scattered and fleeing routs or the battle-hardened guards, were all dead in front of the general's guards who charged with all their might.
Like a sharp arrow, it shot at Roderick and Hall's general guards, but after killing Roderick and Hall, it was a fatal blow; Antio didn't know that Roderick and Hall, the two famous Lucy generals, turned out to be powerful saint-level powerhouses!
Antio, who had never fought head-to-head with a saint-level powerhouse, was not surprised when he found out that the two enemy lords in front of him were saint-level powerhouses, and he was so fearless that he not only did not fear the strong strength of the other party, but instead drew his sword excitedly to meet him.
With his own strength, he led more than 30 Roman heavy cavalry to face two saint-level enemy generals Antio;
If it weren't for the generals and guards around him, who had been sharing the attacks of Roderick and Hale for him, maybe Antio would really have to die before he could leave the army;
Even if Roderick and Hale were already tired from a long day of hard fighting, their combat power was still superior to that of the Great Swordsman, but it was impossible for them, who were worried about the battle situation, to kill the high-spirited Antio in one fell swoop.
The combat power of the generals of the Roman system was already much stronger than that of the powerhouses of the Heavenly Dragon Continent in the same realm, even if Roderick and Hall were powerful saint-level powerhouses, it would not be easy to kill Antio, who was the general of the system.
Antio and his general guard are entangled with Roderick and Hall, and the dangerous battles, coupled with the constant deaths of the members of Antio's general guard, make the originally calm Luculus not calm.
Licinius and Antio, those are Bai Feng's two most trusted henchmen, their special status in Bai Feng's heart, all system generals are well known, so it is impossible for Luculus to be indifferent and sit back and watch Antio in danger.
Because Luculus himself needed to take command of the soldiers of the Seventh Roman Legion and launch a siege and annihilation of the remnants of the enemy's stubborn resistance, he could not leave the remnants of the enemy army alone, so he could only send his own general guard to Antio for reinforcements.
Luculus, who was also a general of the summoning system with Antio, also led the guard of forty-four Roman heavy cavalry, and although these Roman heavy cavalry were far less effective than Roderick and Hale, they could at least buy Antio more time.
In Luculus's opinion, when he had led his troops to defeat all the remnants of the recalcitrant enemy, and when the time came, when the fleeing enemy army was pursued by the cavalry of the Roman Spear Legion, he could lead the Roman youth army and the Roman heavy infantry to reinforce Antio.
At that time, even if the enemy's main generals, Roderick and Hall, were powerful saint-level powerhouses, so what? The strength of saint-level powerhouses was undoubted, but the so-called strength did not mean that they were invincible; the encirclement of their own army would inevitably consume them!
Luculus's steady deployment is indeed an effective means to kill Roderick and Hall, and the price paid is too high to use a team of Roman youth and Roman heavy infantry to kill Roderick and Hall.
Bai Feng, who always pays attention to the battle situation, on the one hand, it is impossible to sit back and watch his confidant Antio's fatal crisis, and on the other hand, it is even more impossible to use Roman soldiers to wear down the enemy's main generals;
If the Roman army really didn't have a strong person to fight against the enemy's saint-level main general, and chose to use Lucurus's method to deal with the enemy's saint-level main general, it would be understandable;
The reason why Bai Feng never sent the Flame Sword Saint beside him to rescue Antio was to take this opportunity to train Antio and give Antio a chance to learn and grow head-on with the saint-level powerhouse.
Seeing that Luculus was about to intervene in this battle, Bai Feng, who didn't want the Roman soldiers under his command to suffer unnecessary casualties, immediately dispatched two saint-level powerhouses, Bai Er and Bai San.
Sending two Flame Sword Saints whose strength realm is a fifth-level Fire Sword Saint to deal with two junior Sword Saints of the Luxi tribe, this kind of battle with almost no suspense will naturally not distract Bai Feng's attention, and Bai Feng's gaze is still on the main battlefield of the two armies.
Before sending Bai Er and Bai San, Bai Feng, who had always loved talents, specially told them not to kill them on the spot if they could be captured alive, and as a result, it took less than five rounds for the unexpected Bai Er and Bai San to knock out Roderick and Hall, who were caught off guard.
