"How can I say it, dear marshal, it is indeed a bit complicated to explain to you, who are not skilled in martial arts, why Finn was able to win easily, just as you focus on combat command, everyone has their own strengths......"
Holding his chin, Leo said with some distress, and the expression on Al's face beside him was even surprised, as if he couldn't understand at all in his world, how the enemy, who seemed to be menacing just now, was so defeated
"Speaking of which, I used the basic skills of Finn's blow quite skillfully......"
Subconsciously touching the saber on his waist, which was more decorative than practical, Al Andergrims said with some self-deprecation
"You don't have to be presumptuous, Al, ...... I think it's more intuitive to explain it this way, if Finn's overall strength is 100, Keith and Anthony are slightly worse, about 90, and the other Punishment Knights are between 70-80, and his opponents, such as the previous Templar Commander, should be equivalent to the value of the Punishment Knights, objectively speaking, Aioris is indeed a powerful opponent! ”
Leo thought about it for a while, but explained a little bit in his own way with general data
"If this is the case, Your Highness, then the question turns back to the place where it began, why would an enemy with a similar strength be defeated so simply?"
"Alas~" Leo sighed, even he could see that Aioris was a little too extreme
"He pursues skill and flamboyance too much, dear Al, but ignores the most essential things in battle, Eoris's way of fighting, so that when he faces a relatively weak enemy, he gives people a crushing illusion, but when he meets an opponent who is equal or even surpasses him, this approach is difficult to confuse in addition to dispersing power, and Finn sees through this"
Listening quietly to Leo's words, Al thought for a few seconds, showed a knowing look, and nodded meaningfully
"After figuring it out, it's really simple, just like when we command a battle, whether it's bullying the enemy in the early stage, confusing the enemy, or adapting on the spot, etc., even if you do the best and do it perfectly, it is the soldiers themselves who can solve everything in the end!"
Shrugging his shoulders, Leo gently lifted the topic, compared to Al, he was actually just a newcomer with great strength but little experience
"That's pretty much it, but, my marshal, now we need to think about how to deal with this sudden battle, the fog, it seems to be about to disperse......"
***********************
The defeat of Ioris was as Leo had thought, and the damage to the enemy's morale was even worse, and of course it had something to do with the propaganda in the church......
Even Pope Nathaniel probably wouldn't have thought at this time that the Grand Master of the Templar Order, who was shaped by them as the undefeated god of war, would have a huge impact on the hearts of those who were still insisting on the immortal army after falling off the city wall in embarrassment
Perhaps these devout followers will not have doubts about the belief in the Supreme God for the time being, but they will certainly lose faith in victory
Even Grand Master Eoris was easily defeated, so what was the value of holding on? Who could be more powerful than Grand Master? No, in the propaganda of the church, Aioris is the unique, the strongest knight in the continent, and of course, these believers have inadvertently overlooked an important thing
That is, the Grand Master they admired before had fought continuously, and if it weren't for luck, the four generals under Leo's command might not have lost a few of them to Aioris
People are not machines, they are tired, and the seemingly easy battles are not a small drain on Aeolis, don't forget, whether it is Kane and Anthony, or Edward and Tydamir, any one of them has enough strength to praise
Even if it was Finn's seemingly simple few shots, it was the condensation of all the strength of the Grand Master of the Punishment Knights, if it weren't for the Aeoris strengthened by the Dragon's Tears Gem, if he was replaced by someone else, there would be no hope of escaping at all
**********************
As if reading the meaning of Leo's inexplicable words, Al Andgristes bowed slightly
"You are right, Your Highness, the time has come to the end of this sudden farce battle, I beg your pardon, now I need to give a new order to the army, the dispatch of the Knights of Punishment and the Knights of the Dawn, I believe will be the last straw to overwhelm the enemy......"
Tilting his head slightly, Al added with a smile at Leo
"One thing you are right about is that a strong warrior can really be a decisive force, and I'm glad to learn that from you!"
Raising his eyebrows, Leo looked at the back of El leaving with a brisk pace, and the corners of his mouth slowly drew an arc, he had let go of all his worries, at least in this battle, the victory still belonged to the principality, and belonged to him......
Eoris was like a paladin with a variety of auras, and when he followed the battle, the Templars and the Immortals were able to exert more strength than before, and when he fled with defeat and dishonor, the enemy army on the city wall was like a balloon punctured, and the depression and pessimism instantly permeated them, even if they still occupied nearly half of the city wall......
On the chaotic battlefield at the head of the city, Finn, who had re-pulled down his armor, walked with exactly equal steps, just holding the long sword in one hand, and slowly walked towards the place where the battle was most concentrated
The heavy step slammed into the chests of all nearby enemies like a giant hammer, and the tall body under the armor of the Punishment Knight seemed to be from an ancient demon god, as if with an invisible barrier, making all enemies, including the Templars, subconsciously leave far away, and their hearts couldn't help but bring sudden fear
With an unknown wry smile, Finn looked at the enemies who couldn't dodge him, and could only speed up his pace again and take the initiative to rush into the crowd, praying to fly up and down and kill many people
As he said to Aeoris before, this is not a fair duel, but a war of non-stop resistance to aggression, without mercy, the dead enemy is the best enemy, and there is nothing wrong with active killing!
At this time, after the order of El was issued, the Knights of Punishment and the Knights of Dawn, who had been forcibly ordered not to join the battle, under the leadership of Keith and Aldaryan, frantically poured into the battlefield like a flood that opened the floodgates
"Kill!"
As soon as Keith, who had long been unable to hold back, joined the battle, he burst out with extreme combat power, and his footsteps did not stop, rushing all the way, and the enemies around him fell one after another like harvested wheat, among which there were even two Templar figures, who were also killed instantly by the suppressed Keith
"Humph!"
If anyone has a more heartfelt fire than Keith, it is the proud Lord of Noldor, as an elf, Aldaryan is not good at venting his emotions with words, but he strikes faster and more ruthlessly than the others
With a few light ups and downs, climbing up to a lookout platform, Aldarian didn't bother to warm up at all, and the curtain bow in his hand was directly buckled with 10 special elven arrows, accompanied by a cold snort, the artifact's unique [multiple arrows] flashed in mid-air, and the next moment, multiple screams came from the enemy formation almost at the same time......
Behind them, the Knights of the Dawn began to snipe at their leader's actions, and the Knights of Punishment were like an indestructible iron cone, unreasonably cutting through the Templars' fairly intact formation
The drifting blood mist, illuminated by the golden sunset over the Grey Fort after the fog had cleared, carried a bleak and morbid beauty......
