After Li Xiang and the others worked together to kill the deputy head of the Serpent Knights, Dake, they immediately led the alchemy soldiers under their command to turn around and turn to the central battlefield, attacking from the rear of the enemy army in the central region.

After the rout of the right army and the total annihilation of the left army, the Manchado army in the center was encircled. Hantes, the leader of the Serpent Knights in the middle of the road, saw that there was no hope of retreating, so he had to order the remnants of the Serpent Knights and the soldiers of the Manchado Army to form a formation on the spot and support it.

"Uncle, let's hurry up and pick up Teacher Hantes!" Seeing the crisis in the battle ahead, Serus hurriedly advised Count Bilgaard.

Count Bilgard hesitated at this time, and now his troops had lost most of them, and only the main formation remained combative. However, looking at the current situation, even if the main troops join the battle group, the most they can do is maintain a draw.

"Uncle! Now that the odds of our side are low, the best outcome is to retreat. In this way, it is good to save one more point of strength. Seeing that Count Bilgard hesitated, Cynos continued to advise: "The troops under the command of Teacher Hantes still maintain a certain strength. If our main formation had moved forward to respond at this time, the Prairie Army might not have fought with us. At that time, as long as we can join forces, then we will be able to preserve our strength to the greatest extent while retreating with our whole body. ”

"This ...... Well, do as you say—adjutant, pass me on orders......" Earl Bilgard seemed to have made up his mind at his nephew's repeated advice, and prepared to give orders to the adjutant beside him. At this moment, however, an "Urgent Military Report-" a healthy horse carrying a Manchado scout came at a gallop, and the scout stopped in front of the Earl of Bilgaard, and panted and reported: "Report to the Earl, the Earl! Prairly and Prairly Army reinforcements suddenly accelerated their march and are now about to enter the battlefield! ”

At the same time as the scout was breathing and reporting the military information he had discovered, there was a sudden smoke and dust in the southwest direction of the battlefield, and flags were faintly visible.

Earl Bilgard's face changed suddenly. "Retreat! Retreat! The Earl of Bilgard shouted without caring for his image: "What are you still doing in a daze? The whole army turned around! Fall back! ”

With a roar, Earl Bilgard turned his horse and prepared to flee.

"Uncle! Teacher Hantes, they ......" Seeing this, Cynos was in a hurry, and hurriedly asked.

"Where can I take care of him now?!" Earl Bilgard scolded without looking back: "Just let Hantes delay them as long as possible." With that, the Earl of Bilgard whipped the horse's rump, and the mount galloped wildly in pain. The guards beside Earl Bilgard hurriedly rode their horses to follow.

Seeing that Count Bilgard actually turned around and ran away without saying a word, most of the other Serpent Knights around him also showed disappointed, surprised, or incredulous expressions. Seeing this, Xenos had to sigh, and then beckoned his colleagues beside him to adjust their formation and retreat. Maybe it was because the whole team looked chaotic, and no one noticed that the corners of Thanos's mouth were slightly upturned at this time, and there was a faint smile-

When Hantes, the leader of the Serpent Knights, ventured to his rear in the midst of the scuffle, he saw a scene that made his heart cool immediately.

The lord's banner in the rear of the main array began to move—but not to the battlefield in the heat of battle, but in the opposite direction of the battlefield.

The Earl of Bilgard fled.

And he left behind the front and fled with a group of subordinates surrounded by opponents.

Seeing this, Hantes suddenly felt a pang of sadness in his heart, and the action of the struggle in his hand suddenly stagnated due to the violent fluctuations in his emotions, and the machete in his hand was suddenly twisted aside by the halberd of Lord Wussack who was fighting him. Seeing that his opponent was exposed, Lord Wusack took the opportunity to bully sideways, raising his arm and bending his elbow to face the door of Hantes is an elbow blow. Caught off guard, Hantes staggered to the ground after being hit in the face by Woosack's elbow, and when he looked up, he saw Woosack's halberd spired against his breastplate. Hantes, who was hit by the double blow of body and mind, sighed when he saw this, gave up the idea of fighting back and resisting, and no longer resisted, and let several Prairly soldiers who surrounded him be forced to be taken prisoner with weapons.

The remnants of the Serpent Knight and the soldiers of the Manchado Army who were trapped in the siege first saw the defeat and capture of the leader of the Serpent Knights, Hantes, and then learned that the lord of the main formation in the rear had fled from the battlefield, and their morale suddenly collapsed. Some of the Serpent Knights and the vast majority of ordinary soldiers chose to abandon their weapons and surrender, and several Serpent Knights who were unwilling to resist to the end became the Rog Knight and the revenant spirits under the blades of the Traversers.

"We're victorious — we're victorious —"

"Long live Prairly - long live Lord Earl"

When the last of the resisting enemies fell under the sword, cheers rang out in the ranks of the Prairly army.

Earl Bilgard, who was riding away in the distance, heard the cheers coming from the direction of the battlefield, and his whip-wielding hand trembled involuntarily, and his face turned red and blue, obviously with extreme shame.

"Your Excellency." The adjutant beside him saw that his master's face was extremely ugly, but he didn't dare to stay away quietly, so he could only cautiously lean forward and whisper hello.

After a while, the Earl of Bilgard calmed his fluctuating emotions and instructed the lieutenant beside him: "Send at once to inform the messengers on standby, that they should act now." I'm afraid it's too late. ”

"Yes!" The adjutant quickly whispered a quick answer, and then quickly rode away.

Watching the adjutant leave quickly, Count Bilgard breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt a feeling of dizziness hit him, and his body shook slightly.

"It's a failure—"-

After the battle, it is naturally time to clean up the battlefield.

Collect the corpses, rescue the wounded who deserve and can be saved, contain and screen the prisoners, and collect all kinds of booty...... In short, even after the battle, there are a lot of troubles to deal with.

If the battlefield is not cleared, the area littered with death is likely to erupt with a plague and even trigger a small wave of the undead. If this is in the opponent's territory, then naturally you can ignore the opponent's life or death, but this battle is within the territory of the Prairly Territory, so the Prelley Territory cannot ignore it.

Fortunately, the arrival of reinforcements from the Prairly Army provided enough manpower, and although these reinforcements always waited until the event was over, as is often the case in fiction plots, it was better than not showing up from start to finish, at least now that the progress of the battlefield clean-up work is going quickly.

As it approached noon, parchment records of his work were placed in Kasya's makeshift residence in Hump Fort.
