When Deesde was captured by Laventica's vanguard in less than 2 days, this news shocked not only Arthur and Du Yuxiu I, but even Laventika himself.

The real commander in charge of attacking Desdestry was one of the members of the Malden dynasty (the current dynasty of Laventica), a man who was trusted by Angwu VI and was therefore entrusted with such an important task.

In Angwu VI's original military plan, there was no hope that this surprise force would be able to capture Dested, no matter how it was said that Desde was also a majestic city, plus there were sufficient defenders, it was estimated that it would take a month to besiege it at the earliest.

Angvo VI's real plan was to use the siege of Desde to block Arthur's rear roads and support, forcing him to fight and give himself a chance. Even if Arthur didn't mess with himself, it didn't matter, Desde was surrounded, and the logistics couldn't be transported, so Arthur's army would be a turtle in an urn in a dry pool.

However, the commander of the surprise attack force did not expect that the majestic city of Desde was actually captured by the vanguard sent by himself to explore the way, and it took 2 days to conquer!

The officers of the vanguard are the generals who have the impression that the Bilburg family is a very bad one, because the Levieburg family is not a native of the Central Plains, but a hillbilly born in the south, and if there is no Bourbon maritime trade that is still poor to death, it is a hillbilly in a remote place.

Since Laventika began its conquest in the north hundreds of years ago, the core of Laventica belongs to the Central Plains, followed by the north of the conquest, and finally to the south.

The phrase "Southerners" appeared more than a hundred years ago to mock the poor ghosts of the South, and although the situation in the South began to improve after the emergence of the Bourbon Maritime Trade, it still could not change the stereotype of many nobles.

At this time, the general's eyes rolled and he had an idea, and he called the messenger and instructed: "You have sent a message to Desdes, and told Gahoris, who came to the fort, that he was occasionally ill and could not move during the siege this time, so that the officer who really commanded the siege was not him, but ......."

After a pause, the Lord would say to the Messenger:

"Tell Gahoris that the name of the officer who really commanded the siege is empty first, and I have to discuss it with other adults to decide who it is, and then the old rule of the Southerners is to command the fee, because he has completed the task exceptionally, remember to double it. ”

Not to mention Laventica's intrigues in Dested, he turned his attention back to the Gosamodo army. When Arthur was besieged in Sindaudi, Du Yuxiu I woke up from a dream, and he knew that he could not lose Arthur yet, so he hurriedly followed Arthur's previous plan and poured all his troops south from Merochu to threaten Sindada from the north.

But it was too late, and three days after news of the fall of Desdes, Arthur's army collapsed. Because Arthur forbade the army to loot, the morale of the army continued to be low, and in addition to Arthur's courage every time, Arthur's military pay was always sufficient.

However, even with these two bonuses, it was impossible to maintain the morale of the army after a year of fighting with fewer enemies and more battles, so in another encirclement and suppression by Angwu VI, Arthur suffered his first crushing defeat, and the army was scattering, crying, and running, leaving only the Guards and the Knights of the Round Table still guarding Arthur.

Looking at the enemy troops surrounding him, Arthur felt a sense of anxiety in his heart, he was surrounded by enemy troops in all directions, and the sword of victory was a straight line attack, at most clearing one side of the enemy, but with this point now, can people escape? Can they break through the obstacles? Arthur is not completely sure.

"In order to encircle and annihilate us here, Angwu VI laid many obstacles: to the west is to go to Deste, which has been blocked, to the east is Sinda, where there are more troops and the city is profitable, and in order to prevent us from joining up with our king's reinforcements, there are countless enemy troops in the north, and it is impossible to break through!"

After 2 days of defeat and flight, Arthur finally had no choice but to make this judgment, because Arthur's attempts to break through to the north in the past two days were unsuccessful, but he was almost bitten by Laventica's large army several times, so the north was a dead end, and he couldn't go on.

At this time, Arthur's rout army entered a deserted village, which could be seen to have been abandoned for a short time, and there were traces of robbery, but it was not clear whether the Reventika army was clearing the field or whether the bandits came to rob it. So Arthur and the others found a random room and stayed there to repair it for the time being.

"Then do you want to break through to the south?, but the king, the south is Laventica's territory, isn't it easier to break through there?" asked Gawain, who had already broken one hand, worriedly.

"This is the only way to survive in the dead end, otherwise we will really be surrounded and annihilated here, and besides, the south is the Liberation Zone, where all the people live are Hammador, and they are not necessarily very loyal to the conquerors of Laventica, so we can go to the Liberation Zone to look for opportunities. ”

At this time, the Knight of the Round Table, Ranmaroke, the knight second only to Arthur and Lancelot, stood up: "In this case, respected Knight King, I need to lead some people to pretend to be you, continue to break through to the north as a suspicious soldier, and fight for you the opportunity to break through to the south." ”

In the face of Ranmarok's request, Arthur did not hinder, because in Arthur's worldview, the knight naturally had to sacrifice his life for the lord without hesitation, just as he did to Du Yuxiu I, and now his knight treated himself like this, Arthur naturally accepted it safely.

Accepting it safely is one thing, but what should be praised is still praise: "Knight Ranmaroke, you have lived up to your status, you have lived up to the honor of the knight, and the Knights of the Round Table will remember your sacrifice." ”

After Ranmaroch stood up, another group of knights or would-be knights stood up and volunteered to die for Arthur, and then selected a group of people from the rout and divided a regiment as a suspect to be sacrificed.

Since the knights had always had a tradition of pre-war speeches, through which the soldiers understood what they were fighting for, most of the time for honor, these words made the soldiers drowsy. However, this time Ranmarlock's speech was new, and the soldiers were horrified to learn that they were going to die on purpose just to keep Arthur alive.

So the rout exploded. Ranmarok they volunteered to sacrifice for Arthur, that is because they are of noble character, the defeated soldiers do not have such noble sentiments, they have only followed under the leadership of Arthur to the present, and they think that following Arthur can kill a bloody road, and now they actually want them to die for Arthur, how can this work?

The group of people who did not say goodbye in the rout were still conscientious, and after the two defeated soldiers who lacked virtue fled, they actually directly told Arthur's plan to the Laventica army. In this way, the news that Ranmarok was going to die for Arthur and let Arthur break through from the south was thus known by Angvo VI.

Upon learning of Arthur's plan, Angvo VI sent troops to surround Ranmaroke and send them to their deaths, and on the other hand, sent cavalry to pursue Arthur.

Ranmarok was killed in battle, and although he failed to complete his mission to attract the attention of Angvo VI, he deserved the name of the Knight of the Round Table bestowed upon him by Arthur.

The remnants of the army led by Arthur were also chased to the sky and the ground, and in the last resort, he used the sword of victory for the second time to wipe out this very dead cavalry pursuit team and get a chance to breathe.

However, Arthur knew that this trick could only be used once, and the next time the other party would definitely be on guard and would not bite himself so dead, then Arthur would not be able to get rid of the pursuing team, and then finally be caught up and annihilated. So Arthur relented and led the remnants of the army out of the official road and into the countryside.

When Angvo VI learned of the loss of Arthur's traces, he guessed that Arthur had escaped from the official path and fled into the countryside. In addition to the fact that it was a newly conquered area of Laventica, the control was relatively weak, so Angwu VI had no good way to do it, so he could only send heavy troops between the two main cities of Sitiju and Shrike to monitor and prevent Arthur from breaking through.

To the south of Sindaudi, is the West Tiju of the Liberation Zone, and to the west of the West Tiju is the Shrike of the Principality of Hammaddor, and further west of the Shrike is the Arti of Arthur's battle in the past, and Arthur can return to his own camp Bangalore as long as he breaks through Arti, so Angwu VI sent additional men between the Shrike and the Shitiju.

So where are the remnants of Arthur's army at this time? Arthur didn't know this, and after marching west from Sitiju, Arthur was lost. Fortunately, the number of troops has been greatly reduced, so the food temporarily collected in the countryside is enough for the army to eat.

But after being lost for a few days, Arthur never found the right direction, and Leng Yi, who couldn't stand it, made a move, turning the clouds in the sky into arrows to guide Arthur forward.

It took more than three hours for Leng Yi to turn the clouds into arrows before Arthur's army realized that something was wrong with the clouds in the sky. The other soldiers were still a little worried about the change in the clouds, but Arthur himself was very happy, and said confidently: "That is the revelation of the god of the sky to me, follow the clouds, yes." ”

Arthur walked for a quarter of an hour with the rout, following the instructions of the clouds, until he finally reached a populated area, where he came across a village settlement.

When Arthur's remnants first appeared, the frightened villagers immediately closed the gate of the village, and sent a villager with a loud voice, trembling in black words to ask the soldiers how much ransom they had to pay before they were willing to leave, and also hinted in words that there was a mercenary group in their village, which was not easy to mess with.

However, after a conversation between the two sides, they found that the language was incomprehensible, Arthur knew Gosamo, Saro, Hamadore, and even the regular Laventika, but Arthur was extremely unfamiliar with the language spoken in this village, and could only determine that it was probably a difficult dialect of Laventika.

Since you can't communicate, it's troublesome. The villagers in the village became more and more panicked, afraid that Arthur, the leader of the rout, would not be comfortable, so they waved their troops to level the village, and Arthur's rout army was also annoyed, especially the knights of the round table, they were all nobles, and in their opinion, it was a great honor for the commoners to be able to talk to the civilians, and these civilians dared to bargain.

Just as the conversation was about to come to an end, the mercenary team that sheltered the village arrived.
