Spartacus and the others also knew that Nivea's affairs were originally handled by Asur, so he was able to control Nivea with a very high degree of credibility.

In that case, this battle is probably inevitable. Even if he and Jin Zhan forcibly stopped him, Kress would take his army of blast furnace people to risk his death without hesitation.

Therefore, Spartacus had no choice but to remain silent, and at the same time looked at Jin Zhan, who had more ideas.

In the face of such a complex and unexpected situation, Jin Zhan had no way to find any reasonable solution. After all, this matter involves Kress's strong and fiery emotions, and it is impossible to convince him with logic and reason.

And if he and his team of Gauls were to die alone, it would be a huge blow to the rebels, both in terms of morale and fighting strength.

In this way, this battle is inevitable again. And what's even more terrifying is that the opponent still has such an important hostage in his hands, and it is inevitable that there will be many rat throwers in this battle.

Speaking of hostages, the rebels also have a very important bargaining chip, but this importance seems to be not worth mentioning at all for the Graeber army on the other side.

Otherwise, the other party would never have said nothing about Illicia in that war letter. And in the previous situation, Graeber's army has made its attitude very clear.

Illicia was just a tool for Graeber and Azul to kill two birds with one stone. Today, his father, Septus, has died, and her value is almost zero. A hostage exchange is simply not possible.

Looking at Kress's reddened eyes and the gradual crit-beating green muscles, Spartacus made a decisive decision.

"The rebels accepted their challenge. Rest assured, Cress, we will do our best to help you get back to Nivea and kill that villain in Asur. ”

Kress thanked him heavily in a deep voice, and hurried out of the camp.

Looking at his extremely unstable emotions, everyone had different degrees of haze in their hearts. For the upcoming battle, there is no longer the same strong confidence as before.

After Kress left, he went to the training ground alone, and kept venting his emotions. The soldiers and companions around him were naturally very puzzled when they saw him like this, and wanted to step forward to persuade him, but they didn't expect this guy to be as unkind as if he had lost his mind.

So no one dared to come forward to persuade him, and his strange behavior was answered in the following time.

Graeber's army sent a number of sentries to the vicinity of the rebels at any cost, shooting letters with arrows into the rebels' tents.

Naturally, it also clearly depicts the affairs of Kress and Nivea, so the news has also spread widely among the rebel army.

This time, the rebel army, which was about to fight a big war, felt great pressure from top to bottom. The previous unwavering will to fight was somewhat loosened at this time.

Although the rebel army was formed recently, both new and old members were quite impressed by Kress's brave achievements and abilities, and everyone was deeply saddened by the difficult situation he suffered.

The next day, on the battlefield, the two armies were fully arrayed. Graeber's troops were overwhelming. And what was even more strange to the rebels was that there were so many more flags in Graeber's army that they had never seen before.

Could it be that there is a new General Roma involved in this battle? And the number of people on the other side is really a bit exaggerated. With such an army, can the food and grass supply on the opposite side really keep up?

Now that I think about it, if it weren't for the fact that they were in control of Nivea, as long as they dragged it with them, the consumption on the other side would really far exceed their own, and as long as they confronted each other, they would have an absolute advantage.

But now they have to be forced to fight such a helpless battle with each other, and Jin Zhan, including Jin Zhan, feels a deep sense of frustration.

But at the same time, everyone still held back a lot of strength in their hearts, whether it was for their brother Kress or their anger at the despicable villain Asur, it also made them gather a burning fighting spirit.

In front of the two armies, Azul and Graeber rode out first, and then the last thing the rebels wanted to see.

Sure enough, just as the letter said, Azul brought the ragged and tortured Nivea out of the army. In front of everyone, he beat and tortured her again.

This made Kress on the rebel side almost furious, and he couldn't help but rush over with the heavy cavalry troops to save people, but he didn't dare to act rashly.

After all, now the life of his lover is completely in the hands of his opponent, and once he has any move to anger his opponent, it will cause irreparable consequences.

Azul now staggered to Kress in the opposite formation. Seeing the sadness, desolation and weakness in his eyes, Azul was extremely satisfied.

He arrogantly shouted at the rebel army: "Cress, if you bastard dare to come alone, I will give you back this despicable woman." ”

Nivea followed Asuber's gaze and found Kress on the other side. The eyes of the two people met and looked at each other affectionately.

Nivea's eyes were full of love, full of the pain of parting lovesickness, and at the same time extremely frustrated and sorry, this situation was the last thing she wanted to see.

Originally, his lover Kress had escaped from his cage and truly became a free man, and there was a great hope that they would use their iron horses to break this heavy shackle.

But now my lover is going to suffer unforeseen consequences because of himself. So she screamed out to Kress not to come.

Unexpectedly, he was interrupted by a few slaps from Azuer.

Kress listened to Azul's words while looking at the horrific picture. The anger and love in his heart were intertwined, and his calm mind was completely destroyed.

He seemed to have completely forgotten his important position in the rebel army, and shouted to himself: "Azul has a kind of you let go of her, and I will naturally come alone." ”

When Spartacus heard his words, he angrily interrupted him and said, "What do you want, Cress? You are the absolute leader of our rebel cavalry. If you are so rash to send you to death, then who will command our cavalry troops? Don't be rash. ”

But now Kress can not listen to any advice. Seeing that Azul on the other side threw out a message to release Nevia, he could no longer control himself.

Jin Zhan's hard work and counsel were equally ineffective. This is almost the first time since they formed the rebel army that Kress has not listened to Jin Zhan, and it is likely to be the last.

Because Kress had abandoned all the rebels in spite of it, he dismounted alone and stepped forward to meet his beloved Nivea.

Although he also knew that this kind of behavior would be lifeless. But he felt that even if there was a slight opportunity, he had to step forward to make the last effort, otherwise how could he do things without his lover in front of him.

For his behavior, in fact, Spartacus and Jin Zhan can empathize. If your loved one is in such a position, how can you keep your mind calm?

If he hastily stopped it, he would only trample on his last dignity in public, and no one wanted to do this kind of thing.

As Kress left the army alone and headed for the clearing in the middle of the battlefield, Azul fulfilled his promise. Slowly unleashing Nevia's grip in her hand, she joined up with Kress.

Due to the long period of torture and torture, Nivea could only limp and stagger very slowly. In a hurry, he fell to the ground on his back, crawling with both hands and feet at the same time, desperately approaching Kress, and shouting hoarsely.

Cress had naturally exhausted all his strength at this time, and ran desperately towards Nivea. Everything else, including his life, had long since been left behind him.

Naturally, the Roman army will not do nothing, and many archers have quietly drilled out of the army formation.

The sudden appearance of archers also surprised the rebels.

Because in the previous battle, there was obviously no such formed archer army in Graeber's army. Because compared to the traditional Roman sword and shield battle array. The significance of the bow and arrow is not very large, and it is largely completely obscured by the heavy shield raised on the opposite side.

In addition, the bow and arrow weapon is quite cumbersome to make, and the training time is also very large. Therefore, ordinary local armies are unlikely to be equipped with such a class as archers.

The current group of bows and arrows and archers were mobilized to Graeber by the Roman Republic as a strategic support. Now the sharp arrows were aimed at Nivea, who was staggering.

Cress, who was galloping from the opposite side, was almost close to the area of Roma's army.

Azul's raised arm never let go, as if as soon as he pointed his arm forward, the arrows on the string would instantly break through the air and shoot towards Nivea.

His meaning was obvious, only Cress was allowed to step forward, and if the rest of the rebels dared to do anything, then Nevia would end up with only death.

However, the situation is too dangerous for Kress now. Even if he can catch Nivea, then his position will definitely fall into the effective damage range of the opponent's rain of arrows.

The soldiers on the rebel side witnessed the sad scene with their own eyes, and they were almost stunned.

But Kress said it first, and if he was a brother, he couldn't come forward to help. And if you rush forward at this time, you will also fall into the opponent's rain of arrows.

If the Mandarin Duck Battle Formation moves forward quickly, it will also face a situation where the formation is destroyed and cannot form an effective combat effectiveness. In the face of tens of thousands of troops on the opposite side, this kind of senseless loss is absolutely not allowed here. If you want to save people, you can only let the heavy cavalry troops be dispatched.

However, the Roman army was also well prepared. The vast area in the center of the battlefield was covered with a variety of obstacle equipment. There are antler-like branches, thistles, and uneven ground that is clearly visible.

This turned the rapid group shock of the cavalry units into a joke.

Therefore, this battle was fought at the right time and place chosen by the Roma army, and the rebel army was completely defeated at both the strategic and tactical levels.
