"Damn bastards, it's not time to rest, get out of here, and let your lazy men go down and get us some water!"

After escaping, just after leaving the city wall, these soldiers who survived felt indescribably tired, threw down their weapons and armor, and lay on their backs on the slippery mud in the early morning......

Among the survivors who escaped from the north gate of the Grey Keep, the current highest-ranking was a squadron leader of the Knights Templar, who barely gathered nearly a hundred knights who had escaped one after another, and looked at the lowly infantry who were sitting or lying on the ground in twos and threes

Half of his face burned by the fire began to throb uncontrollably, and he subconsciously reached out and touched it, and the pain after the burn made the knight can't help but exhale in pain, and he was extremely irritable, he took out his horsewhip and found an infantry officer nearby, and he pulled it down, and cursed fiercely in his mouth

Reaching out to cover his head, the innocently beaten officer could only jump up, and quickly ran away with a stack of mouths, but after a little farther away, he turned his head and secretly glanced at the knight with vicious eyes, and scolded with a fierce spit of black thick phlegm

"The pigs of the church will play prestige in front of us!"

Having said that, the disparity in status left the officer without any room for rebuttal, and after looking around at the chaotic crowd with his arms dangling, he felt a vibration from the soles of his feet before he could speak

“？？”

Even thinking that he was hallucinating due to overwork, the officer raised his head and was about to speak, but his half-open mouth could no longer be closed, and the figure of the extremely familiar knight order, which had become the nightmare of almost all coalition forces, gradually dimmed in his pupils......

Completely different from the family flag of the continental noble coat of arms hung on the front of the leading horseman's spear, there was no neighing common to horses, and as the first unicorn with full armor appeared at the edge of the woods with graceful steps, soon, the sound of horses' hooves became more and more dense, and more and more punishment knights had formed an array of attacks in the movement

"Ah!! Enemy knight charges! ”

Unable to care about anything else, the officer ran to the rear, and his mouth kept letting out a terrible scream, and the human nature of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil made him subconsciously think that he might be relatively safe with his own knight

Unfortunately, the knights he had high hopes for were even more unbearable when they found out that the attack was coming, and after desperately escaping from the purgatory-like burning city, these knights were exhausted and lost all their courage, plus they had no food or water for a long time, and the little physical strength they had left made them almost unable to walk after leaving their horses

In this situation, after a brief moment of stunned, except for a few dozen who gritted their teeth and bravely drew their weapons to meet them, the rest of the people rode on their horses as if they had given up all resistance, including the squadron leader of the Templar Order

**********************

Since Keith needs to be responsible for following and protecting the Duke of Lancaster, this raid and counterattack was led by Finn himself, facing the enemy in front of him, although there were many but obviously vulnerable, there was no trace of pity and sympathy in his heart on the battlefield, and the gun in his hand was straight on the unicorn that was charging at high speed, with the momentum of being able to penetrate the mountains, Finn shouted

"For the sake of honor! Kill! ”

It is no wonder that less than two hundred knights have brought the enemy an illusion of overwhelming mountains under this momentum, and it is no wonder that in the half year that they have held the Gray Castle, in addition to the first engagement, whether it is the Punishment Knight or the Dawn Knight, these powerful knights can only fight on their own legs like infantry

In the face of enemy attacks, they can only defend passively, and all the reasons add up to the forbearance of these proud knights brewing enough to burn all the anger, and this humiliation can only be washed away by the blood of the enemy

Perhaps many people know that everyone can burst out with unprecedented potential in the face of danger, and when they get out of trouble and reach safety, this burst of power will gradually fade with rest and become weak

In such a situation, what resistance can thousands of unformed soldiers and mixed knights make? It's not even faint at all, it's just a touch of collapse

These spiritual creatures, with their master with their tall and sturdy body covered with armor, crushed it like a tank, just one round of charge, when the infantry was running desperately in the rear before it touched the enemy, these unicorns cooperated with their masters to completely break the enemy's thin defense

Throwing down the broken and unusable cavalry spear in his hand, Finn's eyes under the armor glanced with disdain at the enemy knights who were constantly retreating not far away and did not dare to engage in battle, took off his shield and drew his long sword, and gave a new order again

"Do not collect the captives except the knights, with the will of His Highness, kill!"

It wasn't that Finn was cruel, he knew better than anyone that collecting prisoners as he had done in the past would slow down his army's next steps, and the city still burning in front of him made the Grand Master unwilling to forgive the enemy who objectively caused this consequence

Crying and running desperately, the enemy soldiers heard Finn's roar, and even lost the courage to fight against the water, and the people who were still alive, regardless of their status, threw away their weapons and tore off their armor desperately, and then threw away all the burdens, not hoping to run past the war horse and sword, but to be able to run faster than their companions......

In the face of this group of soldiers who have lost all will to resist, even the Noldor elves of the Knights of the Dawn under the command of Ardalian gave up their best long-range strikes, and at the same time drew their gorgeous elven blades, happily harvesting one head after another with extremely elegant and almost dancing movements......

Their movements are so beautiful and mesmerizing that many of the enemy soldiers are still immersed in them until the moment they lose their lives

Compared with the wildness and efficiency of punishment, the swiftness and elegance of Dawn, the elite of the 5,000 aristocratic private army behind him, their fighting methods are more in line with the war of this era

Under the orders of the officers, they learned that the champion swordsmen dispersed into small teams of several people, drove the scattered enemies together, and then dispersed again after the shield slashed and left a broken corpse, repeating the cycle over and over again, seemingly inconspicuous, but quickly eating away at a large number of living forces

To be able to do this, in addition to the collective combat consciousness that Leo and Al have always instilled, many of them belong to the private soldiers of the Lancaster family, and they hate the invaders more than Leo and many nobles, after all, for them, this is not only a city, but also a hometown for them to live and rely on!

**********************

This enemy army that escaped from the north gate should still be more numerically than the army that Leo is preparing to fight back in absolute terms, and even the knights have almost the same number as the Knights of Punishment Dawn regardless of other factors

Originally, even as the side of the surprise attack, Leo and Al and others were prepared to lose some soldiers at the cost, which is why Leo would tell Keith to protect the Duke of Lancaster before the war

Can ...... now Looking at the Duke on the battlefield who could no longer find an opponent after killing two enemies due to his age, and Keith, who followed closely behind him with nothing to do, Leo found that he still overestimated the army of this era

"I guess that's pretty much the end of it...... My marshal, I am afraid that in your plans, it would be an insult to these two countries to treat them as if they had been the armies of Sarion and Daxia."

Smashing his mouth, Leo looked at the battlefield situation like a duck with his teeth, and even doubted the truth in front of him, after all, no matter in terms of weapons or armor, most of the troops in this army belonged to the elite of the church and the empire, after all, it was definitely not the turn of those miscellaneous soldiers who were still holding wooden sticks and rakes to enter the city first

"That's good news, isn't it, Your Highness? We strive for honor and brave challenges, but that doesn't mean we need to deliberately challenge and create stronger enemies, and if we could, I'd rather every battle be like this, but unfortunately...... There are no more cities for us to burn ......"

Al smiled disapprovingly and said, but the last sentence he wisely lowered his voice to a very low level, this kind of thought is good to think about, say something that people can hear, I'm afraid his small body can't withstand the duke's violent beating

Glancing at his marshal with a smile, Leo secretly added a black-bellied label to this subordinate with impeccable appearance and demeanor, gently stroked and soothed the mount that was a little anxious in the face of the battlefield, and slowly spoke

"Yes, you are right, I hope that in future wars, the vortex of fear that represents death, as it is today, can still bloom around our enemies......"

In Leo's eyes, the Knights of Punishment under Finn's leadership were like sharp spinning blades at this moment, dancing tirelessly, rolling up bursts of blood-red and beautiful ripples like flowers......
