Chapter 258: One Chase and One Escape

As Bishop Victor's body slowly fell, his heroic credentials lost their former brilliance, quickly disintegrating into countless points of light and dissipating into the sky.

Sensing the disappearance of a heroic general, the three Charlie brothers, who were still in the town, were also stunned at the same time.

Roman just shook his head, and continued to take the marksman troops to keep watch at the town's gates. And Jim, who was busy integrating the Crusader swordsman troops left behind by Bishop Victor, didn't take this seriously, but Charlie, who was the eldest brother, slowly frowned.

"Victor has been able to hold on until now, is it because the strength of the enemy army is not as strong as I thought, or has the enemy army been waiting for us to appear?" After a little thought, Charlie quickly gave up the idea of continuing to think deeply.

The information he had about Roger and the others was too little, and it was not enough for him to deduce how strong the troops led by Roger and the others were.

Unable to roughly grasp the enemy's strength, the cautious Charlie did not plan to start a war with the enemy.

Noticing that the black-armored troops stationed around the town still didn't make any movement, Roger sighed helplessly and beckoned to Huo Ke and Garon: "Okay, okay, everyone pack up and prepare to camp, the other party doesn't seem to have any plans to fight at night." ”

"The previous ambush, and I didn't have a chance to show my skills, when will it be my turn to shine?" Garon complained a little unwillingly, but after all, he honestly directed the huntress and the Bearpaw druids to find a suitable place to camp.

"It's better to be careful." Huo Ke shook his head, "War is not child's play. One wrong step is likely to lead to the loss of the entire battle. So it can't be overstated. ”

"But that's a good chance of missing out, isn't it?" Garon patted Hawker on the shoulder: "Sometimes you have to make up your mind to fight." When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. ”

Listening to Garon and Hawke's conversation, Roger couldn't help but shake his head. In fact, Garon and Huo Ke are right, but their positions are a little different.

Roger himself actually likes to attack more than defensively, but now, Roger's command style is closer to Hocke's cautious style.

The reason is actually very simple, the current Oaks Kingdom simply can't afford to lose too much.

Despite the addition of the Elemental City, the Dwarven Clan, and even the other two factions of the Druid Sect not long ago, the overall strength of the current Oaks Kingdom is still not strong enough.

At least in Roger's opinion, the current strength of the Oaks Kingdom is still not enough to resist the coming demonic disaster.

Right now. There are three regular legions in the kingdom of Oaks. As the main force, there is the Elemental Legion of the Elemental City, followed by the Dwarven Legion of the Dwarven City that lives under the Emerald City, and finally the combined legion of the Night Elves and Druids of the Emerald City.

Elemental beings who don't have much intelligence may not be able to bring much economic benefit to the Emerald City, but the Elemental Legion, which has been tested by many wars, is a powerful addition to the Night Elves.

However, compared to the Elemental Legion that has already been formed, the Night Legion formed by the warriors of the Night Elf Clan has many problems. Not to mention compared to the Elemental Legion, even the Dwarven Legion of the Dwarven Clan is a little incomparable.

The dwarven legion of the dwarven clan. However, there are many veterans who have experienced one or two demon disasters, and they are not at all comparable to the recruits of the Night Elves who have never been on the battlefield.

The Phantom Shooters and Moonblade Dancers led by Melia and Elidan, for example, are fine, but the Marksman unit composed of Night Elf Marksmen, the two new Druid units and the Huntress troops still need to be sharpened in actual combat. That's why Roger took them to battle.

You must know that although there has been blood in the suppression of bandits, none of these units have real battlefield experience. Organized army. Even if the remnants of the army are defeated, they are not comparable to those bandits and bandits.

Luckily. The Dragon Eagle Archer Unit is guided by the riders of the original Pegasus Unit from Shenmu City, and it is not enough to start with the most basic flight training. But judging by the previous performance. The experience of this Dragon Eagle Archer unit is still somewhat lacking, and it still needs to continue training.

In comparison, the Huntress, Bearpaw Druid, and Eagle Feather Druid performed somewhat poorly.

This time, the troops brought out by Roger can be regarded as the fastest units in the current Night Elf Clan to form combat effectiveness. However, in the face of the eighth-order Crusader Inquisitors and seventh-order Crusader swordsmen, who were limited by various magics and greatly reduced in strength, and the priest army, which only had three hundred priests, and was protected by all kinds of strategic magic cast by Roger, the Huntress troops, the Bearclaw Druid troops, and the Eagle Feather Druids still suffered a lot of losses.

Fortunately, Roger has a magic scroll of reincarnation, and after many spell casts, most of the soldiers who died in battle were resurrected by Roger.

Of course, some soldiers who are so unlucky that they can't even find their bodies (such as can't find their heads) can't be resurrected, but such a loss is already acceptable to Roger.

And looking at the several troops that have already had a lot of brilliance in their eyes after this actual battle, Roger was somewhat relieved: it was in vain that he was fortunate to be busy with this scene.

Next, as long as we clean up the remaining three heroic generals, we can go home. As for why these suspected troops of the Wild Wolf Principality attacked the troops of the elven clan, that was a question for the elven clan to consider, and Roger didn't bother to bother with that brain.

With this thought in mind, Roger fell asleep.

This night, Roger slept soundly.

Charlie and the others did not take the initiative to attack Roger and the others, so both sides spent the night quietly.

But the next morning, Roger heard news that he didn't expect.

"What do you say? The enemy ran away? Roger, who had taken the toasted breadfruit but forgot to put it in his mouth, opened his mouth in surprise.

"Huh? Gollum ......" swallowed the food in his mouth, and Garon was surprised and asked, "When did this happen?" ”

"Just now." Sayuri, who was in charge of the reconnaissance, said with a frown. "All the enemies took their wildebeest horses and left in the north-east. Aisha and I have already checked out their camp. The other party should have quietly eaten dry food in the early hours of the morning, and then quietly assembled. to be able to evacuate quickly now. ”

"Tell the order to go down and let everyone have breakfast with peace of mind." Roger waved his hand.

"Aren't you going to go after the enemy now?" Huo Ke looked at the breadfruit in his hand and hesitated a little.

"Of course not!" Garon said loudly, and then took a big bite of the breadfruit in his hand, "Don't eat enough...... Gollum, how do you have strength...... Gollum, war? ”

"That's right." Roger smiled and shook his head, "The other party is all on mounts, and I'm afraid the pursuit will take a long time." So breakfast is still to be eaten. ”

Sighing, Huo Ke also ate breakfast silently.

After eating and drinking, Roger led his troops to Shi Shiran and began to pursue the enemy, but before Roger could chase far, Aisha sent a new piece of information.

“…… The enemy forces had already split into three and fled in three directions. Looking at this new information, Roger's brows suddenly furrowed.

"What's next? Do you split up? Garon also asked with a frown.

"No, they all have mounts, and they move a lot faster than us. If we divide our forces. There is a good chance that they will suddenly assemble and flank one of our troops. Huo Ke shook his head. Moreover, our forces are insufficient, and once we divide our forces, we are likely to encounter a counterattack from the enemy. ”

"Hawke. You take the dragon eagle archers, and keep an eye on the enemy's wolf cavalry from afar, and I will follow you with a large army. Roger said solemnly to Huo Ke. If the other party treats the wolf cavalry as an outcast, then we will eat the wolf cavalry directly! Suppose the other side is going to turn around and fight back. Then we will rush to defeat the wolf cavalry before the other party gathers! As long as you can destroy this eighth-order cavalry. It won't be us! ”

"Understood!" Huo Ke nodded, and planned to gather the Dragon Eagle Archers.

"Wait!" Roger stopped him suddenly, "This time, I won't allow you to take the initiative to attack the enemy!" I know you're distressed by the loss of the Eagle Marksmen, but if you're carried away by the rage, you're likely to kill your entire Dragon Eagle Marksmen! ”

"Don't worry, I won't make the same mistake twice." Huo Ke nodded, and left with the Dragon Eagle Shooters with a calm expression.

Seeing Huo Ke's figure go away, Roger put away the worry in his eyes and instructed Sayuri and Elsa: "You divide the scouts into two and follow the remaining two forces of the enemy. If the enemy has the idea of converging, send us a message at once! ”

Seeing Sayuri and Elsa disappear into the black smoke very calmly, Garon asked with some concern: "Sayuri are infantry after all, can they catch up with the enemy?" ”

"Whether it's a heavy shield guard or a marksman, it's not a class that is good at riding, and even if you ride a mount, these two classes can't safely let the mount move forward at full speed." Roger shrugged, "The speed of the scouts is not slow, even if they can't chase the enemy closely, they can bite the enemy's tail and not be thrown away by these two amateur cavalry troops." ”

"In contrast, I'm more worried about Hawke." Roger sighed, "Although the Dragon Eagle Archers are flying troops, if the enemy has a gravity-constrained magic scroll, then Huo Ke will be in danger. ”

"Huh? When the enemy army was pressed and beaten by Huo Ke before, he didn't use gravity restraint on Huo Ke. Garon frowned and asked, "You can't run away now to use a killer move, right?" ”

"Don't underestimate the enemy." Roger turned over the beast-shaped rock element that temporarily served as his mount, and said very seriously: "Strategically despise the enemy, tactically value the enemy!" What do you do if the enemy really saves the trump card for last? ”

"That's right." Garon sat on his mount with a bitter face, "What I'm not good at is tactical strategy, so I'd better leave this kind of brain-using task to others." ”

"Really." Roger shook his head with a wry smile, and then commanded the whole army to start advancing.

“…… I said, "Big brother, why are you sitting on this earth elemental creature now?" Garon's attention was suddenly drawn to the beast-shaped rock elemental beneath Roger's seat, "I remember, this elemental creature isn't very comfortable to sit on, right?" ”

"No way, since I signed the Dragon Knight Pact with Kisara, I have taken Kisara's Dragon Power with me, and ordinary mounts can't withstand the pressure of Dragon Wei at all." Roger spread his hands helplessly and said: "Only undead creatures, constructed creatures and elemental creatures can withstand the shock of dragon power, and the undead mount doesn't need to be considered, and it is very expensive to construct a war horse, so I can only use this beast-type earth elemental creature general." ”

Looking at Roger, who looked sad, Garon looked embarrassed.

It seems that the Dragon Knight Covenant is not all good.

The cavalry unit moves far faster than the other classes, not to mention that Roger also has a rather slow Night Elf archer unit on his side. Before they could chase far, the figures of the dragon eagle archers disappeared into the distance.

Faced with this situation, Roger could only grit his teeth and accelerate the group attack for the troops under his command, and with the assistance of this strategic magic, the troops led by Roger and Garon barely kept up with the dragon eagle shooters led by Huo Ke.

The speed of the wolf cavalry has not slowed down, and the dragon eagle archers have been closely following, and the main force led by Roger has been falling to the rear with the help of the acceleration of the attack.

It seemed that the situation was good, but as time went by, Roger and Garon's faces became more and more solemn.

"Big brother, why do I feel that something is not right?" Garon slowly approached Roger and whispered, "How do I feel like something has been staring at us?" ”

"Not a delusion!" Roger's face turned a little pale, "Thousands of calculations, I actually fell into the enemy's trap!" ”

"What's wrong?" Garon's face suddenly tightened.

"Take a closer look at the forest around you!" Roger said through gritted teeth.

Garon narrowed his eyes slightly, taking a closer look at the forest around him.

I saw that in the forests on both sides of the road, under the shade of those trees, a pair of green eyes slowly lit up.

"That's ...... Silverback wolf! When did you hide in the forest? Garon gasped and said in surprise.

Before Roger could answer Garon's question, the silverback wolves in the forest suddenly let out a wolf howl, and after the terrible wolf howl, the huge wolf pack rushed out of the forest directly and rushed towards Roger and Garon's troops, and the speed was amazing!

The savage charge of the silverback wolf!

"All stopped! Get ready to attack! Roger raised his staff, and the glow of magic began to light up on it. (To be continued.) )
