Chapter 388: Collapse
Looking at Hackett's chopped corpse, Dane took a 'puff', spat out bloodshot saliva, and scolded: "Damn, I was so excited to cut that I forgot to leave my head!" ”
Dane wanted to keep Hackett's head, which was certainly useful. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info If you can carry this human head and show it around the battlefield, it is estimated that the enemy's morale will be severely damaged. If he is hiding beyond recognition, he can still spread the news that Hackett is dead, but after all, it is not good to hold the head directly.
And, when Dane learned from Eslor that Hackett's head could be used in the temple as a sacrifice to Shiloh's father in exchange for a reward.
However, when you chop it into mashed meat, you will chop it into pureed meat, and that loss is nothing. After killing the enemy's commander, Dane felt that there was no suspense in this battle. He was now ready to lead people to continue the assault on Hackett's army, but before that, he needed to deal with his personal problems first.
He looked a little embarrassed now, the delicate chain mail was no longer visible in its original bright silver, and after being ravaged by the power of fire and shadow, it had become jet black. The linen scarf that had been wrapped around his neck, as well as the white cloak that had been sprinkled on his back, were also missing. Even the armor with the dual enchantment effect of high-level sturdy and medium-grade anti-magic was so miserable under the magic power of Hackett, not to mention those things made of linen.
However, although it seems that Dane's appearance is not very chic, it doesn't matter, the power of the spell that Hackett bombarded on him earlier was partially absorbed by the magic resistance chain mail.
This blacksmith shop in White Wolf Castle has gathered almost all the chain mail created by high-level blacksmiths, and after being sent to Komyrya Island for double enchantment, it has become a pretty good piece of armor. And the spell that Hackett temporarily snatched was not so powerful that it didn't hurt Dane much.
Of course, he still suffered a little bit of injury, but this injury, at least it will not affect his combat ability, but his appearance is not very handsome due to the shadows and flames. Moreover, when Pereslore unleashed two healing spells, he was healed even from his injuries, which were not too serious.
With that done, he flipped onto the back of the wolf warrior. The original close guards of Hackett have all been dispersed. They were all soldiers in the army, but they were not comparable to the elite knights like the Templars, and they were not much more numerous than the Templars, so it was quite normal for them to be destroyed.
What's more, they saw with their own eyes that their master would be killed, where did they have the courage to continue fighting?
Dane didn't bother to lead someone to hunt them down. A group of routs, especially when the guards around the main general retreat, may have a greater impact on the other soldiers than an elite army. The rout of these guards is likely to help Dane defeat the enemy army more quickly, and they themselves are natural characters who propagate that Hackett, the main general, has been killed.
The situation was not beyond Dane's expectations, this was supposed to be the most tenacious general guard of all the troops of the Northern Army Group that was supposed to fight with the main general behind him, and the chain reaction was very terrifying. These two or three thousand soldiers, originally under the pressure of the pure swordsman and the surprise attack of the wolf cavalry, were in a crumbling state, and the area around the collapsed general guard was directly chaotic.
The wolf rider who had bitten their formation for a long time would not be so difficult to enter the formation at this time. They chase the fleeing enemy, and the scimitar is no longer a weapon, but a real butcher's knife!
At this time, the wolf cavalry showed its ability as the best of the light cavalry, they may tear the enemy head-on on the complete formation, not so good, but when the enemy army is not well defended, or even begins to break out, a team of wolf cavalry can form a role that may be more effective than the army of a large brigade.
Running away with their backs to the wolf, who can escape? The wolf riders in small groups roared past, and they were a corpse lying on the ground. In the midst of the gradually crumbling enemy army, they are constantly tearing more gaps, constantly creating more chaos and panic.
It's like the wolves chasing the sheep, they don't pay attention to killing, they don't pay attention to formation and impact like the heavy knights, they just divide into various squads, according to the will of the officers, constantly killing the fleeing lambs one by one, and constantly driving the 'flock' towards the abyss.
The army led by Hackett was not a miscellaneous army, but a descendant of Governor Conrie. But, even so, they are unlikely to be able to turn the tide in this situation. Even if some mid- and high-ranking officers try to re-gather their routs and try to continue to resist, before they can gather enough strength, they will immediately invite the wolves to attack and defeat them again before they can regroup their troops.
After these thousands of people collapsed, there was no way to clean up the situation.
Immediately after the collapse were the armies that surrounded the Second Wing led by Pexins. And when they had no way to continue to block the Second Wing, the Second Wing, which was already under siege, reflexively began to attack and played the role of a chaser.
Then the heavy infantry regiment, whose formation had been torn apart by the Second Wing and crushed by the White Wolf Guards, also collapsed. They still insisted on fighting in such adversity before, although the impact on the battle situation was not great, but it finally slowed down the pace of the White Wolf Guard. But now, this heavy infantry regiment, which was supposed to be the mainstay of an army, has no way to continue to hold out.
And then it collapsed, the enemy's long-range attack force, which had been suffering the blow all along, with a total of 2,000 men.
They have been suffering considerable casualties, even when the Ranger Brigade of the Second Wing no longer pays attention to them, and only two strong crossbowman brigades and one Ranger Brigade continue to shoot at them, but the difference in strength between the two sides is relatively large, even if the number is doubled, it cannot make up for the gap in firepower.
Originally, they were able to continue to fight, but looking at the current situation, there was no need to hold on.
The battlefield had become a mess, and Hackett's army, all formations, all organization and discipline, had collapsed in a short period of time.
