The Rocrucius troops advanced slowly through the Brill Forest, while the reserves from the town of Paz hurried out of the forest.

Because it is a reserve formation, about 2,200 of the 3,000 people can actually participate in the battle, and for a war with a number of about 10,000 people, such a level of strength is enough to determine the outcome of a battle.

Compared with the panic a few days ago, Luo Di finally had some confidence in the current crisis at this time, but he did not dare to relax at all, and did not leave after the army was pulled, but advanced with the army, silently supervising the speed of the army...

To be honest, this kind of behavior has aroused a lot of disgust, after all, the bishop who is the commander definitely does not want to see someone dictate to his troops, and Roddy, who pretends to be a "priest", also understands that he cannot overcome, so he has never said more nonsense along the way.

He also understands that this army cannot be like his own cavalry team, and when the war really starts, he can only be a "spectator"...

Time passed in a hurry, the calendar flipped over on May 6th, and after the sunrise on May 7th, the Rosicrucian team in the Brill Forest finally began to meet before the decisive battle...

"Captain, are we slowing down?"

In the dense jungle, the speed is always not fast, but it is clear that since the early morning departure, Captain Sally has clearly lost her usual vigorous posture, but has delayed the departure time, and increased the reconnaissance range of the team's advance, although it is not explicit, but the team members can sense that she is deliberately delaying the speed of the advance.

Sally didn't deny this, she nodded, and replied, "Roy and Bart who went to scout on the flank haven't come back yet, and when they bring definite news, we'll speed up to catch up with the team in front." ”

"Understood, Captain. ”

Knowing that Sally was not cowardly, the team members were much relieved. Sally, who was walking in front, picked up the map to confirm the current location of the team.

The main force of the entire "Rosicrucifix" was scattered all over the edge of the Brill Forest in a "convex arc", and Sally's squad was just behind the "top of the arc" of the arc, almost far from the left and right flanks, and more than a kilometer away from the front troops.

This was the position she had personally led the team to adjust last night, and it was not that Sally was afraid to face the enemy, but she could not confirm in her mind whether these enemies were really as weak as they had been...

"Captain, news has come from the front that the first teams have come out of the forest and arrived at the intended meeting place. ”

"Got it. ”

Sally nodded, still holding her breath, and didn't urge the team to speed up.

"The second echelon left the forest and arrived at the meeting point, Bishop Fryer urging us forward, Captain Sally..."

"I'll be there on time. ”

Sally looked up at the sun above her and said, "Tell Bishop Fryer that you don't have to rush me again—"

Halfway through her words, she stopped abruptly, and Sally looked ahead with wary eyes... The atmosphere of the entire team immediately froze for a moment, and the surrounding team members all clenched their weapons vigilantly when they saw this.

However, there were no expected enemies around.

The subordinate who held his breath for a few seconds looked at Sally and asked, "Captain..."

"Listen carefully!"

Sally raised her hand to interrupt him, and the soldiers who had been prompted were stunned for a moment, but they all heard the vague...

"Horn?"

The team does not blow the horn, only when charging or retreating, will use this kind of horn, which can transmit a long distance even in the forest, and at this time, everyone thought of several possibilities-

"The decisive battle is ahead of schedule?"

Someone asked, but no one answered him, because the team members in the forest had no way of knowing what was going on outside.

But only a few seconds later, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came, Sally turned around, and when she saw her subordinate Roy rushing back covered in blood, she immediately rushed a few steps and shouted, "Get out of the way, get ready for treatment!"

Roy jumped off his horse exhausted, two magic spells regained some strength, and when he got up, he didn't have time to salute and shouted, "The enemy has outflanked him on the right flank!

This sentence made everyone's hearts sink suddenly, and Sally immediately ordered: "Everyone, stop advancing!"

Before the follow-up order could be spoken, Bart's figure appeared on the other side - "The left flank has been attacked, and there has been a fierce battle! There are too many enemies to count!"

"Damn it!"

Sally couldn't help but curse, she had planned for the worst, but she didn't expect it to come true now, even if she had some psychological preparations in advance, she was still a little uncontrollable panic in her heart.

"Throw away all supplies and prepare for battle—"

She tried her best to suppress the panic in her heart, and prepared to start giving orders one by one, but as soon as the words fell, there was a "whoosh" sound of leaves rubbing against the trees and horses' hooves in the forest behind her... Sally turned her head suddenly, but after hesitating for half a second, she said decisively: "Cancel the battle preparations, and everyone break through to the right flank!"

“... We are surrounded!"

The strategy of the "Rosicrucifer" in Brill Forest was entirely "skirmish" tactics, that is, all members acted in "squads" in the forest, ranging from 15 to 50 people per team, including several motorized cavalry units of nearly 100 people.

Although it was claimed that the number of participants in the war had reached 20,000, because the baggage in the forests was far more difficult to guarantee than in the plains, most of this number were sappers and farmers in charge of logistics - and no more than 3,500 were actually able to go to war.

Although the proportion is not high, this number is enough to kill the private soldiers of the vast majority of the nobles of the kingdom in seconds, and can even "run rampant", but as the nominal commander-in-chief of this battle, Bishop Fryer, who had just left the forest at this time, was completely shocked by the scene in front of him...

The enemy from the front numbered more than 2,000 men, in a neat array, flanked by two cavalry teams that followed at any moment's notice.

And what about your own side?

The two batches of squads that had just walked out of the forest combined were only five hundred, and at this time they hadn't even completed the most basic queue integration...

How so?!

He clenched the staff in his hand tightly, and he didn't know what to do at this time: soldiers were constantly rushing over to report the situation of the battle, and in addition to the enemy in front of him, a large number of enemy troops numbered more than five hundred appeared on both sides and rear of the entire army, and in just a few minutes, there had even been skirmishes.

He thought that his team would be able to retreat from the enemy as easily as before, but the result of the report made him completely unacceptable: the scattered squad of the "Rosicrucius" had no power to resist in the enemy's large-scale assault, and was almost wiped out in a single shot!

"Lord Bishop, we must hold off their charge, or the whole team will collapse..."

"Block, go and block! What are you waiting for?" the adjutant's words brought Freel back to his senses, and he shouted at all his men in an extremely disorganized manner, "Why did the enemy suddenly appear, why did no one warn?!"

But no one answered such a question, and the infantry team of the "Pit Viper Cross" in front of him had begun to accelerate en masse, and the flickering purple light proved that there were quite a few clerics in the opponent's array... This often means that the enemy will be more difficult to deal with than you think.

"Where are my troops!?Why are there only so many squads?"

At this point, the questioning was meaningless, and Fryer's command skills were mediocre, and he was just a puppet carrying out Mograine's orders from beginning to end, completely panicking and completely losing his ability to adapt when he suddenly encountered a big change.

However, the "Pit Viper Cross", which had been fully prepared for a long time, would not give him a chance to breathe at all, and the first wave of the front team charged directly crushed the first group of squads blocking in front of him five minutes later!

These heretics waited for work, dormant for many days only for today's battle, their morale was high and full of momentum... In contrast, the extremely tired "Rossicrus" squad had no morale, no strength, and was pushed over without even the most basic defensive formation, and there was no room for resistance at all!

The result was like a slap in the face, leaving the minds of the soldiers who thought they were in danger of victory, followed by panic and panic that gradually spread...

The shouts of killing came from all directions, and the soldiers with weapons in their hands looked left and right, but they found that they did not know which direction to flee, and the situation of defeat appeared almost immediately, and then it triggered a complete mental breakdown.

Squad after squad burst out of the forest, crashing headlong into their retreating teammates in front of them, and then crashing into the enemy's advancing array in no formation or defense... Then they were all harvested.

A bloody battle broke out, but the two warring sides were far apart, showing a complete slaughter.

Of the numerous Squads of the "Rosicrucifer", only three teams chose the right route, successfully broke through the edge of the enemy's right flank, and left the edge of the Brill Forest unscathed... Among them, it is Sally's squad.

But at this time, she would rather not break out of the forest... Because after the field of vision is broadened, the situation on the battlefield on the plains is instantly clear - from a distance, these pagans who have been prepared for a long time are like adults beating children, constantly causing the defense line of the "Rosace Cross" to collapse and shrink...

The three teams that escaped the encirclement with Sally were less than a hundred people combined, and compared to the more than 4,000 enemies, they had only one way to "preserve the living force"...

"Retreat! Find cover!"

"Throw away the heavy armor and heavy weapons!"

The embarrassment of throwing away the armor is extremely humiliating, but it is useless to complain, this is the reality: when defeat is like a punch in the face, the only thing you can do is not to meet the other side of the face, but to protect yourself in the most reasonable way.

"Captain Sally, there are pursuers in the left rear!"

"Report the number!"

"About three hundred..."

This amount made Sally completely lose the idea of turning to attack, and she gritted her teeth and ordered, "Speed up!

This is not the first time she has chosen to "escape" to face a crisis, once at the border of Evta, she also ran all the way because of Francis's traps and traps... But Sally knows very well that at this moment, the same person who led her out of crisis countless times will never appear again...
