Seeing that the enemy wolf cavalry behind him was less than 100 meters away from him and the others, Assasis, who was ready for a death battle, just wanted to give the order for the whole army to meet the enemy, but suddenly heard a voice that made him feel extremely familiar!

"Whew...... Shhoosh...... "Sharp arrows, with a piercing sound of breaking through the air, flew over Assasis's head and shot at the wolf cavalry who were chasing him.

The three successive volleys of the two Parthian archers, consisting of three rounds of arrows composed of nearly 700 arrows, inflicted considerable casualties on the wolf cavalry who were struggling to pursue them, and at least 100 wolf cavalry were knocked to the ground by the flying arrows.

Among the tens of thousands of wolf cavalry running at full speed, no matter whether the hundreds of wolf cavalry at the front were killed by the arrows of the archers, they would be trampled into mud by the compatriots who rushed up from behind; this is the most cruel side of war, and no one can avoid it.

The wolf cavalry, who were still full of excitement, instantly turned into angry howls after being attacked by the archers again, but now they were not chasing one team of archers, but three teams of archers!

"Whew...... Call...... Didn't I tell you to withdraw to the fortress......? Who allowed you to come back?"

Gasping for breath, Assassis didn't know whether he was tired or angry, his face flushed, and he rode his horse and galloped wildly, while angrily questioning Upadama and Athos not far away.

"Asassis, don't think that the Governor will make you our battlefield commander mean that I will be afraid of you, let me tell you, today I will die at the hands of this group of monsters behind, and I will not obey your orders to be a coward who escapes!"

"You ......" Atasis, who was so angry with Athos that he was speechless, had to turn his head and yelled at Upadama: "Athos has a history of acting without permission, do you have it, why don't you obey orders?"

"I have not disobeyed the order, the two horsemen with heavy responsibilities have withdrawn to the fortress, we have completed the task given to us by the governor, and now it is my own choice, we warriors of the city of Rome cannot be cowards who flee from the battle!"

"You ......" Assasis, who was speechless again, had a helpless look on his face, but he was indescribably moved in his heart.

Athos's pretense of disdain and Upadama's self-choice are ostensibly their own unwillingness to be cowards who escape, but in fact they did not abandon themselves and resolutely chose to live and die with themselves.

"Anyway, none of us can escape now, it's better to go back and fight to the death with the monsters behind;

"No, Athos, this is the only small piece of plains near the Sunset Mountains, and the mountains and forests are not far ahead, as long as we can enter the mountains and forests before they catch up, the orc cavalry behind them has no numerical superiority, but they are not as agile as us. ”

"Assassis, you are the commander-in-chief of the battlefield appointed by the governor, we listen to you!" Although both Upadama and Athos refused to recognize Assassis's commandership before, when it came to deciding life and death, Upadama still chose to obey Assassis's arrangement.

Since there was a better option than fighting to the death, and Athos would not think that he would live too long, he could not have raised any objections, and under the leadership of their three centurions, three groups of Parthian archers plunged headlong into the forests of the Sunset Mountains.

The wolf cavalry who were in relentless pursuit, seeing that they were about to catch up with the hateful enemy in front of them who they were eager to tear apart, naturally could not be stopped by the mountains and forests; fortunately, the commander of the wolf cavalry was not a fool, he only sent 3,000 wolf cavalry to continue the pursuit.

The 3,000 wolf cavalry was only one-tenth of the 30,000 wolf cavalry, but it was still not an existence that could be matched by the three Parthian archers.

The wolf cavalry that could not be freed from it for a long time forced Assassis to make a new choice, because the war horses they sat on were far inferior in endurance to the wolf warriors sitting on them, and if they continued to stalemate like this, they would definitely be defeated by the archers who could not support them first.

In the absence of a better way, Atasis galloped his horse and shouted with his spear in his hand: "Brothers, since we can't outrun the monsters behind us, let them see the strength of our Parthian cavalry!"

"Long live the Parthian cavalry! Long live Rome!" Athos, who also raised his spear, shouted a new slogan.

"Long live the Parthian cavalry! Long live the Rome!" "Long live the Parthian cavalry! Long live the Rome!" ......

The cavalry chanted in unison, making two words that could never be put together in another world, a pair of fateful enemies, an inseparable whole, and for the first time, Parthia and Rome were so closely connected!

The three centurions, who were in the lead, led the three Parthian cavalry behind them, made a small bend without slowing down, and then struck at the surging wolf cavalry, and the archers, who had thrown away their bows and arrows, had to draw their short swords at their waists to meet the enemy.

Because of the mountainous terrain, the Parthian archers charged at a speed that was barely comparable to that of the wolf cavalry, but their short swords were more than a step worse than the spears in the hands of the wolf cavalry, after all, they were only archers.

The "booming ......" powerful archer and the vengeful wolf cavalry collided with the speed of charging with all their might; the archers and wolf cavalry at the forefront did not even have a chance to fight, so they paid the price of their lives in this fierce collision.

The subsequent archers still rushed forward desperately without fear of death, but the wolf cavalry, which was more fierce than the archers, suppressed the charge of the archers, and Assasis, who fought hard, was pierced through the abdomen by the third wolf cavalry as soon as he killed two wolf cavalrymen who rushed up.

Assassis, who endured the severe pain in his abdomen, stabbed the spear in his hand into the chest of the wolf cavalryman with his backhand, and before he could pull out the spear, two more wolf cavalrymen stabbed the spears in their hands at the chest of Assassis, who was powerless to resist.

"Bang!" Just when Assassis thought he was going to confess here, a heavy crash sounded in his ears, and it turned out that it was the fierce Athos who picked up one of the wolf cavalrymen he had slain, and smashed them into the two wolf cavalrymen.

"Atasis, I've killed seven monsters, and you've only killed three, and you won't have the face to die before you can't catch up with me!"

Assasis, who wanted to thank Athos, retracted the words of thanks he almost uttered, knowing that this was a deliberate word of Athos to stimulate himself, but he still willingly took the bait.

The three centurions who supported each other were on the front lines of the battle, one wolf cavalry after another were slaughtered by them with their spears, and at the same time, the casualty of the archers was also on a straight rise, and the number of archers still fighting was less than half of the full force.

With the last of the archers killed just a stone's throw away from Upadama, the bruised centurions of Assassis, Athos, and Upadama have become bare-bones commanders, ready to die in battle!
