At the border of the territory of Reesburg, the Second Legion, which was supposed to rush to the royal capital to meet Prince Relton, was also attacked by the barbarians at the same time, and at the suggestion of Demis, Carter had to order the Second Legion to fully meet the enemy army to ensure that the supply routes between the royal capital and Yuguan were not cut off.

In charge of the attack on Reesburg was Heller, the head of the Second Knights of the Tubys Empire, who led four Imperial Knights to attack on the north side of Reesburg, dragging Carter's legion supporting the royal capital and Yuguan in Reesburg.

However, when the Second Legion launched a rapid counterattack, the experienced Heller ordered the Imperial army to respond while slowly retreating northward, stopping and fighting. The battle dragged on in the face of the enemy's delaying tactics, which left the Second Army trapped in Reesburg and unable to move.

At night, Carter ordered an emergency military meeting, and the commanders of the Second Army rushed to Carter's commander's tent.

Knowing that Yuguan was attacked, Carter was very anxious, and before he could wait for everyone to take their seats, he hurriedly said: "Things are a little wrong, now the supplies from the Dragon City side have not been sent for a long time, so we will draw materials from our second army and send them over, there is no time to wait." Captain Annie, when we have enough supplies, you will rush to Yuguan overnight with supplies and the Knights, your First Legion needs you very much now. ”

Anne fluttered her long eyelashes and replied calmly, "Yes, I thank the Commander-in-Chief for our First Legion." ”

However, Dimiss frowned and asked Carter: "Lord Commander-in-Chief, the supplies have been sent, so what should we do with our Second Legion?" We're at war with Heller's army, too? ”

Carter waved his hand and replied very resolutely: "The situation is very critical, and I can't take care of so much at the moment, and I must give priority to the First Army." Don't forget, His Royal Highness Prince Railton is still in Yuguan. ”

After hearing this, Xiao Daocheng hammered the table, and said very indignantly: "They have arranged this a long time ago, and after we recover the major territories and disperse the troops, they will suddenly concentrate their forces to break them separately." That Vacas was simply so hateful that he did not hesitate to dispatch the entire Crusade Legion. ”

Dimis shook his head and replied: "It's not that simple, so many Tubis troops suddenly appeared, this is not something that a crusade army can do, it is not possible that the barbarians have sent a large number of reinforcements from the territory of the empire. ”

Carter was taken aback and hurriedly asked Dimis and said, "Reinforcements?" Hasn't their Warrior Tournament started yet? Why did this reinforcement come in advance? ”

Dimiss sneered, and then replied helplessly: "What Warkas's Crusade Legion lacks is not a commander, but an army of black knights. The Warrior Contest only selects commanders, and their Duke Byron has already trained the new Imperial Army, and if they want to support the Crusade Legion, they can directly send the knights over, and the commander has many Crusade Legions. ”

Carter slapped the table anxiously and scolded: "Damn, how can this be, it seems that we made a mistake this time, this barbarian is too powerful, this efficiency is really incredible." ”

Assel also opened his mouth to suggest: "If this is the case, then we can no longer stay in Reesburg." Either our whole army will rush to Yuguan to rescue the prince and duke, or we will have to send men to help garrison Litunbao. If Ritunburg were attacked by the barbarians again, it would be difficult for the Miró knights alone to defend it. ”

Hearing Assel say this, Carter seemed a little hesitant, and the next development of the situation was crucial to the fate of the Knights, and he did not dare to make any decision lightly.

At this moment, a guard hurriedly rushed in from outside, panting and reported: "The big thing is not good, Antony of Tubis and two knights are besieging Ritunburg, and Lord Miró can hardly resist and finally retreats to Innerdo. In addition, news came from Dragon City that the barbarians also had a team that went around the mountains on the east side and attacked Nedo directly. ”

Carter was shocked and hurriedly asked the crowd, "What should I do?" Do you have any suggestions? ”

Dimis got up and said, "The barbarians are fierce, and this Wakas is really extraordinary, and we are all in his way now." In the event of a delay, we must not linger for a moment, and we should immediately lead our army to the aid of Nedo, and we must not give the Tubis a chance to attack the Dragon City. ”

After hearing this, Assel asked, "What about Yuguan?" His Royal Highness the Prince doesn't care? ”

Dimiss looked back at Asser, was silent for a while, and then replied: "They all thought of attacking Nedo and taking Dragon City directly, and I think most of them have already been lost on the Yuguan side, even if we rush over to support, I am afraid that we will also be in the net." I know that you all have a stake in the safety of His Royal Highness, but the facts are in front of us, and if we lose, we will lose, and we have to accept the realistic results. ”

Xiao Daocheng also asked: "You mean to say that let's give up His Royal Highness the Prince who is trapped in Yuguan, and then just let us escape by ourselves?" ”

Dimis replied in embarrassment: "We don't want to, but for the sake of the overall situation, if we don't do this, we will also die." ”

"The big picture?" Carter was furious when he heard this, and he angrily reproached: "If we can't even protect His Royal Highness the Prince, what is the overall situation to talk about?" What about keeping Dragon City, who will lead us to revive our knight kingdom? ”

Dimiss looked at Carter in a daze, and it was difficult to answer.

At this time, Anne was already very anxious to hear this, she was most worried about Robit's safety, Anne got up sharply and asked: "Then I don't have to wait for you to gather supplies, you can go to Nedo, we don't force you to come to support." I leave here, and hopefully we'll have the chance to meet again. ”

With that, Anne left the tent angrily, much to the embarrassment of all the commanders of the Second Legion.

After a long silence, Carter said, "No matter what, we must try to rescue the prince, and no one should mention the matter of withdrawing to Nedor again." ”

After saying that, Carter also turned and left, leaving a group of commanders looking at each other.

After a while, Assel also stood up, he looked at the silent Dimis, and then admonished him, saying, "Dimis, in many important matters, I want you to respect the decision of the Commander-in-Chief. If we abandon the prince in distress and withdraw to Nedor, where will you put the face of Lord Carter? In the future, how will the elders of affairs deal with us tens of millions of Knight people? Think about it for yourself. ”

Assel glanced at him before turning away. Then the other commanders and regimental commanders followed suit, and in the end, Dimiss was left alone in the tent and pondering.

Early the next morning, Carter gave the order for the whole army to march urgently to the west, but before the army could move forward, it encountered the Cologne army fleeing from the west.

After the round with Carter's army, Cologne rushed to Carter to discuss. He pleaded with Carter, "Lord Carter, it's terrible, the barbarians are too powerful. Our Third Legion was miserable this time, encountering an ambush of barbarians on the western side of the territory of Reesburg, and the whole army suffered heavy losses. ”

Carter frowned and asked, "What's going on?" Didn't your Third Legion also have five knights, how many people came from the other side, and how did you get like this? ”

"Hey, don't mention it!" Cologne replied sadly: "As soon as I heard that His Royal Highness the Prince was besieged in Yuguan, that Basel immediately led the knights to Yuguan, and I couldn't stop screaming. And our Spartt, hey, my disobedient son, who went with Basel. In the end, we only had three knights, and then we met the army of black knights led by the barbarian Yale, I estimate that they probably have more than 10,000 black knights, and they are outnumbered. ”

"More than 10,000 black knights?" , Assel sneered and said, "Ten thousand black knights are ten Babis Knights, and they have appointed ten knights to attack you?" Do you think there are more than 100,000 people in the Crusade Corps? Where are so many knights dispatched, all nonsense. ”

Carter was also very skeptical, and he frowned and asked, "How many people are there in that Yale?" We've met Heller here with four knights, and you can't have met so many barbarians. ”

At this time, the more loyal Kudonster explained: "Oh, what the Duke said is indeed exaggerating. That Yale probably only brought two knights, but the black knights seemed to be the elite army of their Tubis, and we knights were not well trained to fight them head-on, so we were defeated. ”

After hearing this, Assel sneered: "In my opinion, most of you are just trying to escape for your life, but you were chased and killed by the other two knights, and you were killed all the way, right?" ”

Kudonst bowed his head in shame after hearing this, apparently most likely by the words of Arcel. Only Thomas replied, "I just said, we three knights don't have to be afraid of their two knights." However, the Duke insisted on letting the army evade the enemy and quickly withdraw, making everyone feel as if they were fleeing for their lives, without any organization and discipline, and the barbarians seized the opportunity to chase and kill me, they were almost angry to death. ”

Cologne glanced back at Thomas, and didn't bother to reprimand him, still pleading with Carter eagerly: "Master Affairs, let's get out quickly, there are too many barbarians." If we bring that Yale army and your Heller army together, it will be more difficult for us to deal with them, and it will be a problem whether we can escape or not. ”

"Run?" , Carter snorted, and said angrily: "I'm sorry Lord Duke, I Carter hasn't thought about running away yet." ”

At this time, Dimis spoke again and persuaded again: "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, the Duke of Cologne is right, once Yale and Heller join forces, we will become more and more dangerous. We really can't stay in Reesburg, we have to rush to Nedo to defend Dragon City right away. ”

Carter still disagreed with Dimis, and he turned to Cologne and asked, "Lord Duke, you have withdrawn from the royal capital, and you know the situation there best. Tell me, how did the barbarians suddenly appear so many people, what the hell is going on? ”

Cologne immediately replied, "Don't you know?" That damn Varkas had sent more than 10,000 Black Knight reinforcements from their empire, otherwise how could they have so many troops at their disposal. ”

Carter was dumbfounded when he heard this, 10,000 Imperial Knight reinforcements, plus nearly 30,000 Black Knights of the Warkas Crusade Legion, so that the army of Toppis Knight who came to the Knight region had 40,000 people, which was not a small number.

Dimis shook his head again and again and said: "No wonder Wakas is dispatching the whole army with such fanfare, he is going to wipe out us all in one go, we must not let his plan succeed." ”

After speaking, Dimis ignored Carter's objections, and shouted at everyone: "Everyone, we are all knights, and it stands to reason that we should not retreat halfway in front of the enemy army." But now that the enemy is strong and we are weak, we can't just take care of our own honor and choose to die, so there is no point at all. Please don't forget, behind us there are Dragon City, Hwaseong City, and Sunshine Waters, as well as thousands of Knight people. Today we are all going to die on the battlefield, who will protect them in the future? Do you all want us Knight to be wiped out in the end? ”

Thomas immediately chimed in and said, "What Master Dimis said is that our army of knights is indeed undertrained, and it is by no means simply a difference in numbers. I ask all colleagues to recognize the facts in front of you and never make unnecessary sacrifices. ”

After speaking, everyone was silent for a long time, and finally Cologne spoke again to persuade Carter: "What Master Dimis said is very reasonable, you are still young, you should have more opportunities to take revenge in the future, why do you do something irrational?" As long as you are willing to take everyone back to Nedo, I Cologne will fully support you in the future, and when the time comes, we will work together to build more and stronger Knight legions, and finally go to those barbarians to take revenge. ”

Carter listened with some hesitation, and when he saw Assel's acquiescence in his eyes, Carter said, "I'm not a stubborn person either. In this way, I listen to everyone, and please raise your hand if you agree to withdraw the Nedo. ”

After Carter finished speaking, Cologne, Dimis, Arcel, Thomas, Kutonster and Gobini raised their hands together, but only Xiao Daocheng did not react.

Seeing that everyone's minds have been decided, Carter can only follow everyone's wishes, otherwise he will become bent on going his own way, and the team will be disheartened and have no combat effectiveness. So Carter comforted Xiao Daocheng and said, "Captain Xiao Daocheng, although the two of us want to save His Royal Highness the Prince, we also have to respect everyone's decision, what do you see?" ”

Carter's words were very tactful, and he first showed that he and Xiao Daocheng's position was the same, which made Xiao Daocheng deeply feel Carter's embarrassment. In the end, Xiao Daocheng also nodded and said, "Okay, everything is up to the arrangement of the commander-in-chief." ”

Seeing that Xiao Daocheng also nodded in agreement, Carter complied with the wishes of the crowd, reluctantly withdrew from Reesburg with the army overnight, and rushed to the direction of Neiduo non-stop.
