Chapter 224 Returning the favor
In the face of three thousand black warriors, even if Twilight, Dumb, Emilio and others can kill, they can't make up for the weakness of the first legion and the dreadnought's high-level combat power, plus the soldiers in the army are exhausted, and their bodies are greatly short of water and strength, which makes them unable to block the attack of the black warriors at all, almost every time the black warriors wield the lightless sword, hundreds of Darius soldiers will fall.
Seeing that the First Legion and the Dreadnoughts were dying in large numbers, and that if this continued, the remaining soldiers of less than 10,000 soldiers would all fall here, Twilight stopped and turned to Dreyus.
"Your Highness, let's go up!" As Twilight approaches, she hears Saric asking for battle.
Looking at the situation ahead, Dreyus also felt that the Royal Knights had to fight: "Okay, the Royal Knights will prepare for battle with me."
As he spoke, Dreyus put the helmet he had taken off on his head, apparently preparing to join in.
Seeing this, Twilight was startled and hurriedly accelerated, "Your Highness, wait!"
To say that the same number of royal knights may be able to fight against the black knights, but now with more than 800 hungry and extremely lacking in water, the royal knights against the 3,000 black knights are purely looking for death, and more importantly, the black knights will be possessed, if a royal knight dies and is possessed, the threat is no worse than that of a black knight.
"Your Highness, the royal knights are also dead when they get there, they are too few in number."
When Twilight said the previous words, he suddenly caused Saric to be upset, and he opened his mouth to retort, the Royal Knights had never been afraid of anyone, but Twilight didn't have time to deal with Sarich, so he said again:
"Your Highness, we have to prepare to withdraw, you can also see the current situation, we still have less than 10,000 people left, and we have lost 3,000 people in the battle against the Black Warrior in such a short time, we have no chance of winning this battle." Twilight pointed to the Black Warrior Road in front of her.
"Withdraw? How to withdraw?" Dreyus frowned and asked, now that there are black knights in front of him and undead cannon fodder in the back, he is ready to fight to the death.
"Let Ragus stay here with the First Legion, and someone here will have to keep those Black Knights." Twilight tries to keep her tone as calm as she can, knowing that the only way to stay is to die, and Twilight doesn't want to, but there's really nothing he can do.
"No, I must not give up my soldiers." Dreyuston's face changed when he heard Twilight's words, and he said angrily.
"You are a woman's kindness, Your Highness Dreyus, have you made fewer mistakes along the way?" Twilight was also a little angry, when was this.
As the crown prince, how can anyone talk angrily to Dreyus on weekdays, and now he is a little angry that Twilight is so confronted by Dreyus, but Twilight's words make him speechless, he did make a lot of mistakes along the way, otherwise he would not have fallen to this point.
Taking a deep breath, Twilight stared at Dreyus and said, "Your Highness, you must return to the city of King Darius, the goal of the Church of Shadows is you and Prince Teglisa, you must not have anything to do, otherwise Darius will fall into a catastrophe, this is Amalan's prophecy before she died."
Twilight's words suddenly made Dreyus's heart sink, Darius seemed to be walking towards Fato Cinsaro's prophecy, although Amalan's strength was not as strong as Fato Cinsaro, but it was absolutely impossible to make it up if he could say it before he died, and in an instant, Dreyus, as the crown prince, knew what he should choose.
Seeing that Dreyus's face was still a little hesitant, Twilight didn't try to persuade him more, but turned to look for Emilio and Ragus, who were fighting bloodily ahead.
As the delay becomes more and more dangerous, Twilight finds Ragus first, and he tells him that he plans to leave the First Legion behind to buy time for the eldest prince Dreus.
Hearing Twilight's words, Ragus's eyes froze slightly, and then he turned his head to look at Dreyus's banner and nodded, "Go back and tell the eldest prince that the Royal First Legion will shed its last drop of blood."
With that, Ragus turned and walked towards his fighting sons, the First Royal Legion was the most loyal to the royal family of Danas, and they were all ready to die for the royal family.
Looking at Ragus as he strode away, Twilight suddenly felt a little selfish, these are good soldiers, they shouldn't just die, but he really has no choice now, as a commander, Twilight can only sacrifice one part of the people to save the other part.
After finding Ragus, Twilight finds Emilio and Dumb, and tells Emilio to gather all the Dreadnought soldiers as much as he can.
Surprised to hear that Twilight was going to break out from the other direction with Dreyus, Emilio quickly passed the order.
Seeing the remaining dreadnoughts slowly moving closer to Emilio's side, Twilight finds Dreyus again.
Although he felt uncomfortable, since Dreyus decided to follow Twilight's arrangement to break out, he did not hesitate, and directly led the royal knights around him to join the dreadnoughts.
"Brothers, escort His Royal Highness the Prince to break through." Twilight shouts at the front of the group, and Twilight raises her arm holding the Vengeful Blade.
"For Darius!"
"For Darius!"
With shouts resounding throughout the battlefield, Twilight and Emilio lead the way along the left side of the battlefield.
This move immediately attracted the attention of the black knights, and they saw a black warrior with a violent red light from a black knight with two black holes, and then many black warriors actually killed the dreadnought.
"Sons, the time has come to serve the kingdom, fight to the death with me." Seeing that the Black Knight was about to throw off his First Legion to attack the Dreadnoughts, Laguston roared and rushed towards the Black Knight with a roar.
"Darius wins!" All the soldiers of the First Legion sparked their last potential, roaring at the Black Knight.
Although the departure of the eldest prince Dreyus made many soldiers feel abandoned, the belief in loyalty to Darius has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and when the First Legion was established, they were the most trusted troops of the Danas royal family, and even the Royal Knights recruited people were drawn from the First Legion, and rarely recruited from outside.
The soldiers of the First Legion knew that this battle would be their last, so they all burst out with their last potential and strength, and with less than 5,000 people, they stubbornly blocked more than 2,000 fifth-order black warriors.

Listening to the shouts from behind, Dreyus's face was very bad, and Twilight glanced at him, he also knew that Dreyus's mood must not be good, and Twilight herself was not good.
After walking for about half an hour, the battlefield behind was no longer visible, when Twilight grabbed the reins of the war horse under her crotch.
"Your Highness, it's time for us to part at this point."
"What do you mean?" Dreyus, who doesn't know what to think, is confused when he hears Twilight's words.
"We can't outrun those undead if we run like this, we have to separate, Your Highness, take off your robes and armor, and leave the banner behind." Twilight says that running apart is the best chance Twilight can think of to keep Dreyus alive, and the best way to keep everyone alive.
"What are you going to do?" Although Dreyus's mind is very confused, his brain is naturally quick to react after being exposed to Danas V for many years, and he has a vague understanding of what Twilight is going to do.
"In a moment, you take the royal knight first, go in the other direction, you all have war horses will go faster, and I will take the dreadnought in the other direction. Your Highness, the target of the Shadow Church is you, and if I pretend to be the one who will attract the attention of the Shadow Church the most, you must run out of the Northland and go to the dwarves for help. Twilight calmly explains.
Hearing Twilight's words, Dreyus knew that he was going to lure away the Black Knights and the pursuers behind him, and a look of struggle flashed across Dreyus's face, and finally asked:
"Are you sure you want to do this? Do you know the consequences of that?"
"Heaven is on the left, warriors are on the right. Your Highness, if you escape from the Northlands, you must go to Thorn Mountain to find the dwarves for help, otherwise you will not be able to return to the royal city. Twilight says as she begins to unarm Dreyus herself.
Soon Dreeus's armor and the royal danas robes were worn on Twilight's body, and Dreeus wore Twilight's armor, and Twilight took over the banner representing Drius from a royal knight.
Dreyus didn't say anything more, he just took a deep look at Twilight, then turned his horse's head and smacked his belly and ran in the other direction, with eight hundred royal knights following closely behind.
"Life and death, Your Highness, this is the last thing I can do for you." Twilight looks at Dreyus and the royal knight in the distance, and this time the adventure is to pay back all the favors owed to Dreyus.
Although Twilight took most of the risks by doing this, Twilight also had her own ideas, if he went with the eldest prince Dreyus, then there was no need to think that everyone was dead and separated from Dreyus, although Twilight was more dangerous, but once the Shadow Church found out that they were not chasing Dreus, but just a fake, then they might not chase it anymore, but might turn around and chase Dreeus, but at that time Dreyus had already gone out of the Northlands.
Even if the Shadow Church knew that they were fake and pursued after them, then at least Dreyus would be safe, on the contrary, if they saw through their plan and went after Dreyus and the Royal Knight, Twilight herself would be safe, and one of them would be safe anyway.
"I really don't understand you, don't you say that you don't care about Dreyus and go back to Preto directly? Why are you still taking this job? Hearing Twilight's words, Zagrell mutters disapprovingly.
Emilio, who was on the side, was not bad, and she couldn't help but glance at Twilight when she heard Zagrel's words, but she didn't expect Twilight to have such a mind.
"The eldest prince has helped me a lot, especially in the case of Preto, who has done a lot of work." Twilight's potential meaning is that he owes Dreyus a favor, and sometimes he has to pay it back. (To be continued......)
