Chapter 198: Unexpected Reinforcements

The wind swept away, and the highland mountain centaurs and the cavalry of the Wood Elf Forbidden Army were like helpless and scattered dead leaves.

Charging back and forth, flying flesh, beech was covered with knife marks and bloodstains, and a corpse was stacked under almost every tree. Heavy blood filled the battlefield, and from time to time there were bursts of heart-rending screams and angry war cries.

Legral was immediately submerged under the minotaur's hooves, and the goblins and lizardmen who followed behind the minotaur trampled his corpse forward.

Not only the old general Legral was killed, but even the captains of the first and third cavalry squadrons of the second cavalry squadron of the Wood Elf Forbidden Army, who were raiding on both flanks, were dragged off their horses by goblins and lizardmen, and chopped up with knives.

The angry battle cry soon turned into a sparse murmur, babbling and mooing roars sounded more and more excited, grinning crooked teeth, scaly webbed toes, ugly and rude faces, and bloodstained decapitation axes were all imprinted in the hearts of the soldiers, and the double combo of shock and oppression was tightly clasped in the hearts of the soldiers in every battle.

The two raiding cavalry squads had been killed and wounded, and the living cavalry of the Forbidden Army were all covered in battle wounds and demoralized, facing the minotaur warriors who poured into the Iron Mine Ridge like a tide, goblins and lizardmen, they were already terrified, and the huge battle damage they suffered made them have to abandon their positions on the left and right flanks, and fled higher up the Iron Mine Ridge in despair, and the unicorn silver helmets they wore also lost their light in the rout, and some even had the horns on the silver helmets cut off.

The centaurs and the cavalry of the Wood Elf Forbidden Army, which were still resisting head-on, under the joint leadership of Alec and Claudir, although they did not lose their spiritual support, the enemies who went forward and attacked one after another were still constantly challenging the last line of defense of the warriors' hearts, coupled with the rout of the cavalry of the Wood Elf Forbidden Army who attacked on both wings, the goblins and lizardmen who rushed to support the front from both wings were twisted into an invincible iron fist with the allies who attacked frontally, and the fatal blow shattered the last hope of victory for the soldiers.

At the end of the sixth charge, Crodil was riding his horse and the centaur for the next sprint, and he was hit by an arrow in the calf, which was a rusty arrow that landed in a godlike manner, and it pierced into Crodil's calf muscle impartially. The pain was so severe that Clodir almost fell off his horse, but thanks to a centaur beside him, Matatek, he gradually relieved himself, and then gritted his teeth and cheeks, stretched out his right hand and grabbed the shaft of the arrow, breaking it with a single shot, and another heart-piercing pain.

"Hold on! Wood Elves! The hand was still firmly on his back.

"Thank you! Gilberg! Krodil thanked him softly, but Natatek didn't respond except for a sudden release of his hand.

He jerked his head, it was Tatek who was turning, he had been hit by an arrow in the back, blood was gurgling out of the arrow, and he turned around with an iron spear to support his staggering body, blocking the advancing minotaurs, goblins, and lizardmen in front of the advancing army of minotaurs, goblins, and lizardmen, to meet the last storm of his life.

Before he knew it, Crodil's eyes had moistened at some point, and he turned his head and took a deep breath. The sound behind him was like the dull sound of a heavy object falling on the ground.

"He fell for me." Before she knew it, Crodil burst into tears, and her eyelashes sparkled.

"We can't charge anymore! Parents! It was Aurach's loud cry, mixed with mixed emotions, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth and a bruise on the left side of his face.

"We've tried our best, but there are so many of them! Withdraw, the cavalry of the Wood Elf Forbidden Army on the left and right flanks have been scattered! Orach's old partner, Otta, stood guard with a shield and a spear, and the red glow on his cheekbones was gone, leaving only a pale face.

"yes, I'd rather die with my family! Now that we're retreating, we can still see our family in the caves of the Highlands Mountain one more time. The exhausted Tateks responded, "We've got Alex's nose, we've got the Highland Mountain Caves!" ”

Beside Alec, his family members were no more than hundreds, and more than half of the injured were injured, even Alec himself was panting, and the white tiger skin he was wearing was also mottled with bloodstains, and after standing still, Alec looked at the dense intruders on the mountainside of Iron Ore Ridge, and then looked at the faces of his family members looking at him.

"We've made six charges, and now it's going to be seventh." Alec's eyes flickered slightly, and his flushed face seemed to be painted with a layer of vermilion.

"Parents! None of us want to rush down the hill again! The family is exhausted! Parents! Orach shook his head vigorously, and with tears in his eyes, he pointed at the Tateks beside him, "We have lost!" Let's die with our families!! ”

"I can still have a jug of wine and then get killed by these horrible guys." Ota hung his head, not daring to look directly into Alec's eyes that shot at them, he could feel Alec's eyes now a burning flame, and he carried a storm of emotions in his chest.

Alec no longer looked at his family, but at Crodir, who was surrounded by the cavalry of the Wood Elf Forbidden Army, and there was apology in his gaze, and Crodil could feel it.

"Chief Alec, my mentor, General Legral, has been killed, and you are still the commander of the Gilbergtateks, although the tactic used by the mentor before his death was to make us charge repeatedly, because we were just beginning this gamble of our lives. Now that we've lost the bet, if it were my mentor, he would have advised you to retreat, and these minotaur warriors don't seem to understand what fear is, as if they were born with a lack of that emotion. None of us ever thought of it. Clodir's forehead was covered with sweat, and the arrow wound on his calf seemed to have exhausted him, and the blood that couldn't stop dripping out of the stirrups turned the stirrups red.

"Withdraw, withdraw Alex's nose! If Alex can't hold the bridge of his nose, retreat to the Highland Mountain Cave! Even though we can choose to retreat, these bloodthirsty demons will follow us, and the only good thing is that we can be buried with our families! I told you, give up fear, fear is superfluous in battle! Ay! In that case, this is the only way! Withdraw, first withdraw to the highland mountains! While we're still some distance away from these invaders! Alec let out a long sigh, took Alex's spear, turned to the direction of the highland mountain to the west of the Iron Mine Ridge, and finally stepped into the four hooves, and his heart was sad, "It's a pity that our family members and wood elf friends who died bravely can only die on the Iron Mine Ridge." Grandfather's spear, Alex's spear! If Alex can feel the state of your children, I pray that you will send a heavenly fire to incinerate these invasions! ”

The hooves of the tumbling horses, the tilted banners of the Wood Elves, the retreat was a collective rout, scrambling to be the first to rush to the bridge of Alex's nose.

No sooner had the centaur and wood elf cavalry withdrawn than a flying arrow landed in the clearing behind their sweeping horsetails. The bullaur raiders who rushed to the front strode their hooves, but accidentally stepped on the trap that had not yet been broken, and the wooden stakes that suddenly rose from the ground knocked several minotaur raiders into flesh in an instant. Even so, in addition to causing a burst of sneer from the goblins and lizardmen, the crimson skull flag was still getting closer and closer to the bridge of Alex's nose.

At the entrance to the side of the Highland Mountain on the bridge of Alex's nose, I don't know who laid a bunch of clay pots found in the caves of the Highland Mountain here, and there were also many wooden barrels full of water strange next to the surveillance post about dozens of steps away from the cliff, and the edges of the buckets were all covered with dozens of rags. He didn't think much of it until he jumped off Alex's nose and out of the beech forest of the Highlands came two Trians, their faces and horses covered in black ashes, and the coat of arms that could still be faintly distinguished, made him startled.

The centaurs and wood elves who had retreated to the side of Alex's Nose Bridge Heights Mountain had begun to temporarily set up, and on the side of Iron Ore Ridge opposite Alex's Nose Bridge, Minotaurs, Goblins, and Lizardmen had already arrived.

"Are you reinforcements sent by Duke Ella? Just the two of you? Those weird things you two put at the entrance to Alex's Nose Bridge Heights Mountain? Have you flown to this high mountain? Alec's mind suddenly had a question in his mind, and he was all disappointed.

"Hahahaha, presumably you are the heroic chief in the white tiger skin, and you must have ten thousand whys in your mind. Come out, I've brought you your family in the Highlands. The Trians, whose gray hair was almost blackened by ashes, laughed on their horses, and a small group of Trian halberd soldiers escorting the centaur family poured out of the beech forest, all of whom were carrying the packed household belongings on their horses, and then two Trians on horseback stroked Alec's chest with one hand, "Hugh Frankensteadt, the commander of Duke Ella, came to support His Excellency the Chief on the orders of the Duke. ”

Hugh Frankenstein took out a letter from Duke Ella from his bosom and handed it to Alec, who quickly read it and wrote it. It's just that he still feels the unique and mysterious aura of the old general in front of him in his heart, and there are too many mysteries in this sudden reinforcement.

"How did you get here, this Iron Mine Ridge is now full of minotaurs, goblins, and lizardmen, and you fooled them?" Alec's mood was a little calm, but the troops brought by Hugh Frankenstein in front of him were not only black and gray, but also sparsely numerous, which puzzled Alec, and the letter did not explain it clearly.

"Oh, Your Excellency. It seems that you still don't understand the superiority of our old general, these minotaurs, goblins, and lizardmen are not worth his deception, he specializes in deceiving the god of death under the mountain. Commander Ollie William is at your service. The horseback rider beside Hugh Frankenstein pointed with some pride in the direction of the Bled Mountains, "We're coming from there." Just like later, the old general will take you from there again. The most important part is to tell the wood elves not to touch the clay pots. ”

Without waiting for Alec to speak, the retreating Tatek and the Wood Elf Forbidden Army looked at the small group of Trians in front of Alec and their families who had packed up their belongings, they looked at the mountains and forests of the Highland Mountains, hoping to find more reinforcements including the ambush, and a reassuring smile naturally filled their faces, and even the surprised Crodil rode up to Alec's side, and after a brief introduction to Hugh Frankenstein, his expression became a little stiff.

"Well, this is the case, the enemy on the opposite side is coming soon, and we will definitely not be able to hold this place. What are we going to do to make our way through that eerie mountain region of death? Alec sighed a little helplessly, but he knew in his heart that since these supporting Trians could make it from the dead mountains to the Highlands, they would be able to take everyone out of the Highlands.

"Is this support? We fought a bloody battle on the Iron Mine Ridge, and countless soldiers stained the Iron Mine Ridge with blood, and you are especially good at finding a way. Crodir's blood-stained, pear-shaped face widened.

"If you want, you can also stay here and block a hundred, until you die heroically, since it is a war, there will always be victory and defeat. Don't underestimate my brother and the few soldiers we have brought, they may be on par with you. Commander Ollie William sneered, "As I've heard from the Terrian merchants, the Wood Elves like to find faults. Difficult to deal with - stubborn temper. ”

"Your Excellency Alec, the war situation is urgent now, and I don't have much more. I have been commanded to bring you to the safety of the Dukedom of Ella. Now, I need you to get all Gilberg to bring as much water as you can to the watch post, and each of your family members must bring two strips of damp cloth, and the same goes for the Wood Elves, Lord Claudier, and I want you to abandon your horses and blindfold them immediately. Leave the abandoned horses to me. Commander, keep the crossbowmen in place, and let me command the ten infantry, while you and the rest of the men guide Chief Alec and our Wood Elf allies to wait for me at the foot of the northern mountain of the Highlands. Hugh Frankenstein's voice sounded so loud that he immediately obeyed.

"Why give up our warhorses!?" Crodil said angrily, feeling a burning pain in the arrow in his calf.

"Staying here will be of some use, we can't bring so many harnesses that cover the nose of the horse." Hugh Frankenstein smiled slightly, but his weathered face was very serious, and Crodil seemed to see a trace of his mentor in this expression, although this request was a little difficult to accept, but his heart and mind were not at all the same.

"Moo!" On the side of the Iron Ore Ridge, the minotaur's murmur was getting closer.

"They're coming! They're after it! Gilberg's Tateks and the Wood Elf Praetorian cavalry pointed to the other end of Alex's nose, their voices filled with fear, "Mountains full of crimson skull banners!" What are we going to do!? ”

"Wait a little longer, we'll all have to die here, Crodil Griffin. Not only because of their large numbers, but also because the Grim Reaper under the mountain only blinks during the day. Hugh Frankenstein's black pupils shimmered with a deep glow, a look that only a wise man could have.

"Blindfold the warhorse, abandon the warhorse, and listen to my orders! All of them walked to the watch post and did what the Trians said! Crodil pointed to his calf and then at Alec, who lifted him behind him, and then Alec shouted at the Tateks on the edge of the cliff in the Highlands at Alex's nose, "All of you give up the Highlands position and follow me!" Follow the supporting Trians! ”
