This short offensive and defensive battle ended temporarily, but the result has to be said to be really tragic, when the army of Noxus attacked, it lost nearly half of its soldiers, and on the side of Demacia, there were only a few dozen people left, if it were not Demacia's army, it would have collapsed long ago.

Soon, a muddy warrior walked over, and behind him, there were many reinforcements from Demacia, and this person should be the commander of these reinforcements. There wasn't much blood on the soldiers, as Noxus had chosen to retreat when he found out about their arrival. It's just that these Demacian soldiers are dirtier than the ones they have just experienced in an unusually terrible battle, and everyone is covered in mud, because they have accelerated their way and crossed the swamp directly.

"You're the commander here?" The officer-like man walked up to Tony, looked tired on his face, and asked with satisfaction.

"Yes, sir, Captain Tony Evan of the Fifth Squadron of the Vanguard Brigade reports to you." Tony straightened up, gave a military salute, and replied loudly.

"You're doing a good job, I'm the captain of the Longsword Brigade, Affleck. I'll take credit for your work, and now you can rest. I've put someone in charge of the defense, and you can sleep well tonight, boys. After saying that, he patted Tony on the shoulder in fear.

"Yes." Tony didn't insist, if it was a person who generally wanted to be appreciated, he would definitely ask to continue fighting at this time, at least to say that I was not tired of this kind of stubbornness, trying to make a good impression in front of the commander, but this was the battlefield, and Tony didn't want to fight for the future with his own life and the lives of his subordinates, so without any hesitation, he returned to the camp with those soldiers who were still alive, and then fell asleep.

While Tony was asleep, Edmund retreated with the remnants of his defeated army, resting at the foot of a hill after making sure that Demacia's army had not pursued him.

"My lord, what should we do next, such a huge loss, none of us can escape punishment." The envoy quietly walked over to Edmund and asked in a whisper. This incident was all caused by his request for help, so, no matter what, he couldn't escape, the two can now be regarded as grasshoppers on a rope, no one can get rid of anyone, they are real brothers and sisters.

"You ask me, I ask whom, you didn't make all this, you piece of waste." Edmund's angry kick directly kicked the other party to the ground, and the envoy also knew his responsibility, so he didn't get angry, but continued to come up and wait for Edmund's decision.

"Although we suffered heavy losses in this battle, we have not lost yet, this time it is only because the opponent's reinforcements arrived in advance, we fought hard with Demacia's reinforcements, and in the end we chose to retreat if we were defeated, and the hoplites took the initiative to ask for a break in order to cover the retreat of the large army, and none of them were spared." Edmund stared into the envoy's eyes and said word by word.

The envoy immediately understood that this was to clear his name, and that it was incompetent to lose to an opponent who was weaker than himself, but it was heroic to lose to an opponent who was much stronger than himself.

"But sir, is that possible? Those falcons in the Inspectorate are not easy to fool, if they are allowed to investigate and deal with something, then our sin will not only be unfavorable, then it will be ......" The envoy looked around, and after seeing that no one was paying attention to this place, he made a downward gesture.

"If there is only one battle, of course, it is easy to see, after all, there are many people here, but if there are several more battles in the future, and the people here are almost dead, who can find out and ask Demacia to go? Don't forget that any information from Demacia is not supported in Noxus. Edmund said viciously.

"Then, do you need to report these things to the Council of Noble Elders, after all, ......" The envoy was still a little worried, this was not the disappearance of opinions, false reports of the battle process, concealment of tactical mistakes, and assassination of soldiers, no matter which one it was, it was enough for them to die a hundred times, and including their family, they would definitely not be spared.

"What to report to them? They are thousands of miles away and can't help at all, so they just need to give us support, and as for the rest, we'll take care of it. Edmund pouted.

"Okay, inform all the soldiers, if you don't leave today, camp here, and send two trustworthy and strict-mouthed soldiers at the same time, go and transfer the soldiers of the nearby fortress to me, the walls of the Blackstone Fortress have collapsed, as long as we have enough soldiers, and launch another attack, we will definitely be able to destroy all the Demacians, and when the time comes, we will not only have no fault, but also merit."

"Yes." The envoy just thought about it, and knew that he had no way out, no matter how bad the situation was, it would not be much worse, because the current crime could already make him die without a place to be buried, as for what if this crazy plan failed again? At most, it's just a few more people, but what do those people have to do with themselves, gambling with other people's money is the least concerned about bets.

Just when Edmund was defeated and ordered the defenders of the nearby fortress to go to support, Ax and Ben were standing not far from the defeated remnant, but no one noticed it. Aix had a panoramic view of the entire battle. Even Aix, who doesn't know much about military affairs, knows that Edmund made several stupid moves in a row before incurring a crushing defeat for the whole army.

"My lord, we have recorded the whole process, do you want to hand over the battle process directly to Lord Svein?" Ben asked Ax for instructions.

"No, don't tell anyone about the battle, just send back the results of the battle through a briefing, remember, it must be through a regular channel, so that the nobles can stop it. Also, you inform Lord Hercules that you must make a good record, and the transmission of such important military information must be recorded and protected. Aix said in a good mood.

"Yes, I'll do it right away." After Ben finished speaking, he left directly, and soon, Ax was the only one left on the scene, but Ax had no intention of leaving.

"Coming?" Aix said suddenly.

"Yes." A voice immediately replied, seemingly hesitant and a little afraid, and after a pause for a moment, he continued: "Can you really forgive us for what happened before?" ”

"As I said, this merit is enough to offset your guilt, not to mention that this is what you fought hard for, I like to calculate, so I know the most about the merits and faults."
