Chapter 521: Retreat and Pursuit
Caesar's chief dragon knight, Arahan, and his fateful rival, Beamon's first general, Robert, the first player in Oslo, was supposed to once again attract the attention of everyone in Oslo, but it was canceled under reasonable circumstances.
The Abyss Monster is here!
This news once again shook the entire human race in Oslo at an explosive speed, and even the dragons were amazed and inexplicable.
The monsters have not had a major impact on Oslo for many years under the concerted efforts of the nations, and all they have left for humanity is the horror and evil of legends.
Oslo is no longer there, but their legends will live on forever. These are the words left by a certain bard on the epic.
No one likes them, not even the rudeest and filthy ogres, or these creatures who go on a killing spree and devour everything they can. After all, ogres still cook things with fire, and monsters basically only eat them raw.
It's no wonder that monsters are unanimously despised by ogres.
Abyss Magic!
This word has now become the most common word spoken by the aristocracy and high-ranking officials, down to the common people, and correspondingly, the number of monsters invading Oslo this time is far greater than in the past.
The Caesar Empire even ordered that the First Legion led by Alahan be confronted with the Bimon Legion, and ordered it to withdraw to Byzantium as quickly as possible.
Arrahan had received the news a day earlier than the others, so he just heard the "Abyss Demonic Movement, far more fierce than ever." It is conservatively estimated that the number of monsters this time will be several times the number of monsters in the last few times", a cold sweat immediately broke out.
It's not that he's too vulnerable, it's just that no one understands the meaning of this message better than his years in Blackcastle??? -???? -?? Hall?
At the beginning of the demonic movement, increasing the number of monsters several times would not have much impact on the defense of the Black Castle, and at this time, doubling the number of a hundred monsters was only a few hundred. But once this doubling effect is put in the late stage of the demonic movement, the number of monsters will become a terrifying number, if it was originally 100,000 monsters, then this time it will become the scale of hundreds of thousands of monsters.
This is a scale of magic that Black Castle has not seen in a long time!
Therefore, even though Arahan knew that the opposite was Robert, the most ruthless and ferocious head poisonous fox in the Beamon Empire, he had to bite the bullet. A plan for retreat was made overnight, and 30,000 men were evacuated that night.
The next day, Robert was smiling at the camp of the Beamon army, watching the movements of Caesar's First Legion, and commanded: "Let the warriors who go out to hunt pay attention to the distance, and don't push the prey too hard, otherwise they will jump back and bite back in a hurry." They were the strongest Caesar's legion in Oslo! ”
The herald went down, and Muenfat on the side said with a smile: "Perhaps, it should be said that they used to be the strongest Robert Waner in Oslo: this old ancestor is still so straightforward and competitive. In fact, even if Caesar's Legion falls, there is still an Augin's Legion.
Sheila asked with some trepidation, "Abyss Demon." Will there be a large-scale monster invasion there? ”
Robert hesitated for a moment before replying, "This question should not be big, at least yesterday when His Majesty discussed the military situation with me, he did not mention the issue of the large increase in the number of monsters. Besides, there have always been very few earth monsters in our place, and there are countless heroes around Your Majesty, which will definitely ensure the security of the country. We just need to fight this last battle seriously, and that is the greatest credit..??.."
As he spoke, it occurred to him that the abyssal magic had something to do with Nicholas's mysterious ally. In a sense. The monster and Beamon are partners in the common battle, and are now joining forces against the humans. But monsters are feared by all creatures in Oslo, and the convention on the continent is that once there is a large-scale invasion of monsters, the warring countries should return to their homeland to defend against the common enemy.
Became an ally with the boss of the monster land?
Such a thing must not be spread, otherwise the Beamon Empire will not only have to face the wrath of mankind. It might even attract the intervention of the dragons. At that time, the Beamon Empire could be regarded as happy and sad.
The tragic retreat of Caesar's First Legion began.
The 30,000 soldiers who evacuated in advance were not attacked by Robert, which Robert specially left for Caesar to defend against the Black Castle monsters, but the remaining 70,000 soldiers were already the most delicious fat meat in Robert's mouth, and if he didn't eat a few bites, he was really sorry for the news that Nicholas gave him.
Under Robert's pre-arrangement, Caesar's First Legion became a tiger trapped in layers of cages, although its claws were still very sharp, but Robert took advantage of the layers of encirclement. Absorb Caesar's Legion's Earth Attack. Then they dragged Caesar's legion in place, and until the next day they were unable to break away from the encirclement of Beamon's legion.
Arahan confronted Robert dozens of times overnight. Every time Robert was heaped back with the lives of Beamon warriors, he could no longer be impatiently impatient, paced in the big tent for a moment, and shouted loudly: "Pass my order, the second and fourth brigades give me all the strength to break through the Beamon blockade, regardless of losses, and the rest of the brigades will follow behind, and fight together, and be sure to get out of the entanglement with the Beamon army before noon today." ”
And in the Beamon camp, Robert said in a deep voice: "Pass the order, let the Bear Clan Legion and the Pyg Legion switch the defensive line." ”
Sheila was stunned: "But the defense line of the Bear Clan Legion is the eastern defense line with the most pressure!" Only they can block the Caesar Legion, and now change to the Pig Legion, wouldn't that give the Caesar Legion a chance to break through our defense?! ”
Robert bowed: "I'm just going to let Caesar's legion leave." ”
Looking at Sheila's puzzled eyes, he continued: "We have dragged Caesar's legion for a day and a night, and now that I think about it, the situation on the Black Castle side will definitely become more urgent, if we don't let go of the defense line at this moment, let Caesar's legion out of battle, then Arahan will put all his strength at risk in order to return to Byzantium quickly." What we want is to do our best to destroy as many elite soldiers of Caesar's Legion as possible, so that Caesar's Empire will become a second-rate or even third-rate country from now on, which will be conducive to our foothold on human soil. ”
Sheila was stunned.
Arahan looked back at the long line, his heart filled with frustration.
He failed again!
After Robert sacrificed a large number of Pyg Beamon warriors, he successfully consumed the last resistance of the Caesar Legion, the strongest human being, and finally when the Caesar Legion desperately broke through towards the mouth that had just appeared, the Beamon Legion followed from behind.
The way to retreat was clear, but the Beamon legion was already clinging to the rear of Caesar's legion like maggots on tarsal bones.
The fastest horse tribe Beamon shot the horses with powerful feathered arrows outside Caesar's legion, so that Caesar's legion, which was retreating with all its might, kept blooming brilliant blood flowers, and the giant wolf cavalry of the wolf clan also surrounded Caesar's rear army to death, cutting through the edge of Caesar's legion from time to time, and every time a dozen or dozens of Caesar knights fell from their horses and stayed here forever. After being slowed down by the horse tribe Beamon and the giant wolf cavalry, the retreat speed of Caesar's legion finally failed to reach the level of completely breaking away from the battle, and was always surrounded by a surging Pig warrior and bear Beamon warriors.
Arahan's heart was dripping blood.
Where is this fighting! This makes it clear that Robert took advantage of the fact that Alahan had to return to Byzantium quickly, set up an ambush, and started a war of attrition with them.
The problem is that the Beamon legion has time, and the Caesar's legion has no time; The number of soldiers in the Beamon Legion is abundant, and the Caesar Legion is one less dead, and this kind of elite warrior cannot be cultivated in a few years. One less warrior returns, and then the Black Castle's defenses will be one point weaker.
Looking up at the bloody warriors, their tired eyes still showing tenacity and unyielding fighting spirit, their wounded bodies still attacking Beamon.
Do you have to do this?! Alahan hesitated rarely, but in the end, he only sighed lightly, and then ordered to exit: "Fourth, the first brigade left behind, so that the enemy could not pass through the mountain pass in front of him smoothly within half an hour, and after completing the task, the members of the two brigades returned to Byzantium on their own. ”
With the order to exit, it became clear to Arahan that the warriors of the 4th and 1st Brigades would never return to Byzantium.
With a mere number of more than 10,000 people, to stop millions of troops for half an hour, then there is no possibility except for the total annihilation, in fact, the soldiers of these two brigades have been abandoned, and their role is only to slightly block the pursuing Beamon legion, so that the soldiers of the other brigades can completely retreat quickly.
