With the death of General Guo, the camp of the Western Front Army was completely routed by more than 20,000 Desik troops. The hoplites, who had been recuperating for many days and had been hiding among the ordinary soldiers, wantonly harvested the lives of the soldiers of the Shang Alliance.

This time, General Guo Lao brought two-thirds of the Western Front Corps of Southern Madur to about 20,000 people, and the defeated soldiers fled in all directions like headless flies, and then their heads were cut off by those wolf riders and rangers who were hunting around, and only Christopher, the commander of the New Seventh Army, took advantage of the Desik to break the camp, and fled to the northwest with less than 3,000 soldiers with horses.

The wolf riders and rangers couldn't stop the hordes of horse-owned merchant soldiers, and only a few unlucky ones didn't cross the blockade, and behind the captain of Christopher's legion, the green banner of the merchant alliance was slowly falling. Smoke and fire filled the land, and screams and cries filled the sky.

And on the battlefield to the east, Etienne led the mercenary corps, and even the Western Front Corps that preceded General Guo, which completely collapsed soon after the attack began.

The Desik prepared a total of three heavy infantry regiments, one of which was used to break through the camp on General Guo's side. The other two, one from the north gate of Sedang City and the other from the east gate of Sedang City, flanked the mercenary corps who had just arrived halfway through.

The remainder of the mercenary legion in the camp did not react at all due to the lack of command. When he found that the army was surrounded, Desik rode the wolf and was already eyeing the outside of the camp.

The mercenary corps, which was halfway to the road, was out of breath when they suddenly encountered a flanking attack, and when a row of Desik heavy infantry holding swords to kill appeared in front of them, with a "coax", the mercenary corps bombed the camp.

At such times, no one can save the fate of the mercenaries. Those officers who had horses began to abandon their subordinates and seniority, fled in all directions, and even broke their own camp. The horsesless soldiers were also wailing and retreating to avoid the Desik's attack. And the knights who escaped were inevitably dismounted by the rangers around him with bows and crossbows.

More than 20,000 people, a mess, it was over.

The killing of the Desiks continued for a whole day, and by evening the plain was filled with the wanton laughter of the Desiks. They roared, sizing the armor of the dead merchant soldiers to swords or spears, and singing songs of the barbarian tribes.

There was a special group of sergeants, digging for something on those corpses. The mercenaries of the Merchant Alliance, their military salaries or mercenary fees are quite generous, a Desik soldier, took out a money bag, looked at it carefully, and poured out dozens of gold coins of the Merchant Alliance. He tossed the gold into his pocket, then walked to the next corpse without looking back.

The battle on the periphery was not completely over, and the wolf riders and rangers were still busy chasing down the scattered and fleeing soldiers. The number of soldiers of the Shang Alliance was too large, and at the time of the final decisive battle, the soldiers who had already sensed that the situation was wrong scattered and fled, and with great effort, many of them still rushed out of the encirclement of the Desiks.

Nearly as soon as the battle in the encirclement had begun, Desik's officers ordered the cavalry to pursue the fleeing Shang in order to extend the victory.

In the evening, when the battle was basically over, the Western Front Corps, that is, the New First Army and the New Seventh Army under the command of General Guo Lao, completely collapsed, except for Christopher, the commander of the New Seventh Army, who rushed out of the encirclement with a small number of soldiers with horses, and almost all the rest were killed or captured, including the corps commander General Guo Lao, who died in the battle. His particularly conspicuous armor became the best capture of the Desiks.

The Eastern Front Corps, the mercenary corps led by General Etienne, was also almost completely annihilated outside the northeastern part of the city of Sedan, and the Desik infantry regiment that attacked from the north and east gates wrenched the mercenary corps to pieces. The small number of mercenary soldiers who remained in the camp still did not escape the tragic fate. After discovering that it was surrounded, the deputy commander of the temporary command readily chose to surrender.

At this point, the pursuit of the Decikflorian tribe by the entire Merchant Alliance was declared a complete failure, and the Merchant Alliance lost about 40,000 soldiers under the city of Sedan, including their most elite mercenaries and the new army of the Manning Kingdom. The two supreme commanders of the Eastern and Western Fronts, one dead and one captured.

Yes, General Etienne did not die, he became a prisoner of the Desiks.

The city of Sedan, the castle of Carcassonne. This is a fortress built a thousand years ago, and the brick walls of the castle are full of decay and musty smell. General Etienne strode up the steps of the castle, his armor still clean, and he looked like he hadn't been through much of a battle. With his hands tied behind his back, a line of Desik warriors, carrying scimitars, escorted him to the castle hall. There, General Florian was waiting for him.

"I've finally seen you, Captain Etienne. In the dark hall, with only a few braziers burning in the corners, and the images of each other could not be seen in the dim light of the fire, the Desik soldier escorting Etienne untied the ropes that bound his hands, and then closed the door to the hall.

Etienne followed the voice and walked to the table, Desik's Western general, Florian happened to sit there for a long time, holding a glass cup in his hand: "I heard that the tequila produced by the merchant alliance will be trafficked to our Desik by the merchants, and then sold for a very high price." And here he was only a small garrison general, and he had more than ten barrels of such fine wine in his cellar. ”

"I never knew that you were a good drinker, General Florian. I don't know why, General Etienne, who was loosened, actually slowly walked to the chair next to Florian, sat down straight, took the wine handed by the other party, and drank it with his head up.

"Tens of thousands of people have died, how come you, a merchant alliance, aren't you sad at all?" Looking at each other, Florian suddenly laughed.

"Oh, wasn't it all planned?" said Etienne, suddenly, with a sense of pity.

If any of the other merchants were here, they would have fainted in shock when they heard these words from Captain Etienne, but General Florian didn't seem to react, he shrugged his shoulders, "Then should I call you General Etienne, or Lord Nightred!"

"General Etienne, let him die in this fiasco, only a dead man can give an account to the Shang Alliance, although it doesn't matter if he doesn't give an account or something, you say yes, General Florian. ”

"You don't have to look at me, it's all your own decision. You are the protector of the Southern ~ Law, and it is the Black Dragon Society that cooperates with us, we are not under the control, this time we just cooperated with each other to make a big show. ”

Captain Etienne, or Lord Night Red as General Florian called it, turned his head to look at the other man, but did not say anything. But Florian couldn't help it, "After this battle, where are you going to go, continue to stay in our Desic army, or go back to San Jose?"

Yehong thought for a while, "I will go back to the Southern Protector ~ to help her do things, now that the curtain has been lifted, how can we be without us actors, you say yes." Okay, I'm just here to say goodbye to you, please take me to tell the head of Arthur that our cooperation is over, and the rest is your business. ”

After bidding farewell to the Western generals, a carriage departed from the east gate of the city of Sedan, and in the tightly covered carriage, Captain Etienne, who should now call him Lord Night Red, was thinking about something with his eyes closed. The carriage passed by a large number of merchant soldiers, the ground was stained red with blood on the ground with torn armor and weapons, and the mercenary camp of the merchant alliance not far away was already in tatters, and the perforated green merchant flag was limp on the corpses, the broken wood, the ground, and even the tips of the Desikh spears.

Yehong didn't mean to stick his head out at all, even though those people were his colleagues not long ago, he was the commander of the Mercenary Legion, the most powerful force. However, for some unknown reason, he actually led this army to a dead end.

In the Battle of Sedang, the Shang Alliance army lost about 40,000 elite soldiers, and a large number of senior officers, including General Guo Lao and General Etienne, two commanders of the Eastern and Western Fronts, fell. In addition to the loss of personnel, the greater loss suffered by the Shang Alliance was that the Verdun defense line they built with the main peak of Lens, the twin peaks of Little Lens and the West Verdens was completely furnished. More than 50,000 Desiks had bypassed the line from near the fortress of Sedan to the west, and now they were heading south, easily targeting Manning, Carlin, and White Harbor.

And in front of them, there were almost no more regular armies of the Shang Alliance. The rich three eastern kingdoms of the nine countries of the Shang Alliance are like girls who have stripped naked, standing naked in front of the behemoth of the Desik Empire.

This brutal battle ended in the complete defeat of the Shang Alliance, which lost its strategic advantage and a large number of troops. After only a few short months of war, the Shang Alliance seems to be on the precipice of extinction.

The night-red carriage headed north, and to his east was the Verdun Line, which was now a non-existent of the Merchant Alliance. There, there were less than 10,000 troops left, but they had no time to stop the Desiks moving south. Even, they will fall into the attack of the north, south and west sides of the Desik army, and the mountainous terrain in the Verdun area will make it impossible for them to leave easily, even if they are already the few remaining fighting forces of the Shang Alliance.

The Shang Alliance's army collapsed too quickly, and there was no way for the flamingos to report the news to be released. When the exhausted rout army that finally escaped appeared in the north of Manning City, the nobles of the Shang Alliance and the Lord of the Shang Alliance~ Xi Hui were still waiting for news from the front line, and some optimistic nobles were even looking forward to the two armies of the Shang Alliance being able to successfully besiege and kill the invading Desik army in Sedang City, and King Manning even provided a large number of delicious tequila and food for the headquarters of the Shang League, and the celebration party could be held at any time.

However, they only waited for the rout to be brought to the city of Manning. At the same time, not far away, a black line began to approach, it was the Desik Rangers who were chasing the routs behind them.

Until the warning of the city walls and watchtowers sounded, the civilians of Manning did not realize that a catastrophe was coming!
