When the coalition retreated, Finn led the knights to even press a mile away from the other party, and the confident Grand Master not only did not worry about being surrounded by infantry after being entangled by the opposing knights, but also wanted to use his seemingly reckless actions to draw out some of the enemies again

Unfortunately, in the Cold Weapons War, where morale was important, the declining situation of their own side made the officers of the coalition forces barely retain the last of their senses, keeping their formation on alert and slowly retreating, without making any more mistakes or showing any flaws to Finn......

Riding his horse beside Finn, Keith stared at the familiar figure in the enemy ranks, his face gloomy as he spoke

"It's Saru that guy Fein, it's a pity he didn't go into battle himself, otherwise I would have cut off his head, he has completely tarnished his pride and loyalty as a knight......"

Finn withdrew his blood-dripping sword, nodded silently when he heard the words, and his previous slightly excited state of mind gradually returned to his previous calm, stretched out his right arm high, and under his signal, the members of the knights, who interpreted the highest level of combat power with an undamaged victory, followed Finn with great respect and retreated one after another

The first collision ended, and the first contact allowed the two sides to make a simple acquaintance and greeting each other, of course, at the cost of the bloody hellish battlefield and ...... Countless soldiers who have lost their lives and will lose their lives......

With a few simple commands, Leo asked the guards to convey his order, so that the army of nobles and allies in the Grey Keep who had not gone through the battle came out to clean up the battlefield, after all, the champion swordsman and other main troops who had just experienced a terrible battle needed nothing more at this moment was to have a good rest

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

"Your Highness! Our casualties and results have been counted, and Marshal Al Andrésters is waiting outside for your summons."

After returning to the Grey Castle, he couldn't withstand the warm invitation of the enthusiastic Duke of Lancaster, and he didn't want his maverick to affect the mood of others......

After hearing the report of Leo's personal guards, all the nobles stopped the noise, and sure enough, the next moment Leo threw down the wine glass in his hand and shouted loudly

"Let him in, let my marshal, let our heroes in!"

When Al Andrégrestes walked into the hall, he was surprised to see Leo himself standing up and greeting him with a smile on his face, and he was a little apprehensive, and as soon as he quickened his pace, the crowd in the banquet hall spontaneously burst into warm and continuous applause

The master here, the Duke of Lancaster, strode to Al's side, hugged his shoulders fiercely when the other party was a little uncomfortable, and stuffed the wine glass in his hand into his hand, and then, the Duke said with a hearty laugh

"Look at our hero, his wisdom, his determination and his courage to let our enemies flee in a hurry, so that Rolf and Nathaniel, who dare to invade and interfere with our lives, are like clowns at this moment, gentlemen, and let us drink for heroes, for victory!"

"For victory!"

"...... for Victory"

After a few rounds of toasting, Al, whose face was a little flushed, took advantage of the gap to speak

"Your Highness, distinguished gentlemen, the final results of this battle have been summarized, and allow me to inform you here"

Raising an eyebrow, Leo put down his glass after sitting down again, nodded to his marshal, and his face became serious again

Taking a deep breath, and after the banquet hall was completely quiet, Al pulled out a sheepskin scroll from his bosom, unfolded it gently, blew on the still wet ink, and spoke slowly

"Your Highness, gentlemen, first of all, in terms of our results, in this battle, we killed and captured more than 40,000 enemy troops, most of whom were 15-45 years old males, and the remaining enemy troops were dispersed under the leadership of Grand Master Finn, according to estimates, there should be 1-20,000 missing number, that is to say, among the infantry of the enemy's attack this time, only 20% of the original ones could be re-gathered and put into battle again......

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

Al bowed politely, and when the applause subsided again, he coughed lightly and continued

"In addition, including the female knights from earlier, we have annihilated a total of enemy knights in this battle......"

Speaking of this, Al also paused, showing a rare excitement that could not be suppressed

"A total of about 2,000 enemy knights were annihilated, and after repeated confirmation with Grand Master Finn, there will be no more than 200 knights who can finally escape the pursuit and return to the enemy formation, Your Highness, gentlemen, we have successfully compared the high-end combat power of 1 to 5 before the battle, and through this battle, it has been pulled to the point of 1 to 3, I sincerely hope that the other commander's commander can be more impulsive and give us more such good opportunities."

"Hahaha!"

It was rare to hear such a cold joke from Al's mouth, and after a brief moment of stunnedness, everyone burst into laughter from the bottom of their hearts or simply cheering

In the laughter, many people looked at the young marshal and marquis in front of them, and they were secretly surprised in their hearts, some people who were not mentally strong before the war, at this moment, under the cover of drinking, they also began to reconsider their own and their families' positions, perhaps, according to the development of such a war process, the principality may not be defeated? ……

"Well, gentlemen, don't celebrate for a moment, I think my dear marshal has nothing to say"

Leo reached out and pressed it to help the scene return to silence before nodding to Al

"You can continue, my friend"

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, but I'm afraid that the news I've brought below will affect everyone's mood a little."

He said sorry, but Al didn't have a look on his face, and he spoke quickly

"Our casualties in this battle are as follows, 7,500 champion swordsmen, about 6,000 can still fight, 1,000 killed, and the rest are light and seriously wounded; 5,000 barbarian forces, including 4,000 highland swordsmen and 1,000 barbarian warriors, with ...... casualties more than half of the casualties; Before the battle began, our pikemen had 11,000 pikemen and 5,000 spearmen, and after the battle, there were less than 7,000 pikemen left, and the spearmen lost more than 500 people in time when they retreated, and there were no losses in the long-range strike corps and knights! ”

The cold data made even the nobles who looked down on the low-level soldiers and civilians the most look sideways, and Leo on the main seat was even more unbearable at this time, and this was not over, carefully handed over the scroll to Leo's personal guards, and Al was dressed in a cold voice again

"Moreover, this is not counting the losses of our previous raiding troops, although it is difficult to calculate due to the mixing of ethnic minorities and tribes, but according to the information provided by our intelligence officers, the losses before and after are also around two thousand, or even more, gentlemen, our soldiers have more than 10,000 casualties in exchange for such results, and now is only the beginning of this long war, our enemies have the entire empire and a huge number of believers, and their losses can soon be compensated for or even strengthened, Maybe it's not time to celebrate, Your Highness! ”

After speaking, Al Andergrimes bowed slightly to everyone present, and stared straight at Leo and fell silent

……

For a long time, Leo drank the wine in the glass in one gulp in the embarrassment of everyone, put down the wine glass casually, looked around, and then spoke softly

"Gentlemen, I think the marshal is right, such a banquet will not be held for the time being until we achieve the final victory, I hope that everyone will act again, the crisis is not far away from us, for our own rights, for the sake of the family behind us, gentlemen, I need you to act, more mobilization, more weapons and armor, more allies, everyone must contribute their strength to win this war at any cost......"
