readx;? After Gutsian heard Duwack's words, he turned around, his face looked very gloomy, and his cold gaze swept over Duwack's face, as if he wanted to see through Duwak's true intention to ask this sentence, but Duwak just looked at him quietly without any expression. After a few moments www.biquge.info Gutsian finally spoke.

"The Aegis of War Legion is the first to retreat, the other armies are second, and the people are the second, if anyone dares not retreat in this order, there will be no mercy. ”

This sentence seemed to be squeezed out of Gutesian's teeth, with a murderous aura, which made the other generals in the camp can't help but fight a cold war. You must know that the Holy See has always prided itself on loving God's people, and this command is completely contrary, and if it is spread, it will be a major blow to the prestige of the Holy See.

"I know what you're thinking, but soldiers are also God's people, they have the same right to live, and only if soldiers survive can they better protect other people, otherwise the elven army will take advantage of the situation to go south, who will resist?"

Gutsian could see the doubts in his men's expressions, but there was no time to hesitate now, his orders must be carried out immediately.

"But..."

Duwack was about to say something, but was immediately interrupted by Gutsian.

"This is a military order, and it must be carried out immediately. ”

The military orders in the Knights Templar were like a mountain, and since Gutesian said so, there was no room for this matter to turn around, and Duvak and other generals could only nod and accept this order.

Seeing that everyone had abandoned their concerns, Gutsian left the tent with peace of mind, and flew south again with Redduoli, and soon left behind the griffin knights who took off together to deliver the military order, at this time the forest on both sides of the passage had changed dramatically, the dark canopy was surging forward like a wave, and the treemen had begun to move forward with all their might, and Gutsian could imagine that around these moving big guys, there must be mages and archers who would follow the elves, and they would also bring heavy casualties to their own people.

How many people in the passage can escape this time depends on how fast everyone runs.

By the time Gutsian returned to the base camp outside the passage, the army had completed its assembly, and orders were immediately issued from the headquarters, and under the command of the commanders of each battalion, the army immediately marched towards the entrance of the passage.

At the time of assembly, the officers and soldiers of each battalion have been informed, their opponent tonight will be the army of the elves, although the elven warriors and mages are not weak in combat, but they are not terrible, the real terrible thing is those tall tree people, they are not only strong in combat, but also have no pain, no fear, they are pure killing machines, and it is obviously a nightmare for everyone to fight against the killing machines with flesh and blood. To their relief, however, Gutsian had given them the order not to fight the Treants in a desperate fight, but to do everything possible to prevent the Treants from sealing the entrance to the passage until all the Templar officers and soldiers inside the passage had withdrawn.

The barracks were only two miles from the entrance of the passage, and the 5,000-strong infantry camp and the 1,000-strong archers at the forefront of the march took only twenty minutes to reach the edge of the battlefield, and they were met with a scene of panic.

The troops in the passage were making an emergency retreat, they were throwing away their armor one by one, and many of them had just crawled out of their covers, their sideburns disheveled and disheveled, and they were fleeing for their lives rather than retreating.

Gutsian immediately ordered the detachment of the army, which was responsible for receiving the officers and soldiers who had escaped from the passage, and some of those who were accepted were even immediately incorporated into the next team to block the progress of the treants.

The baggage troops followed closely behind the heavy infantry and did not stop until they were still a mile away from the entrance of the passage, and their shields, heavy armor, and spears were unloaded from their carts and distributed to each of them.

The well-equipped heavy infantry, followed by the light infantry and archers on both flanks, divided into two lines and headed for the forest on either side of the passage, leaving a strip about two miles wide in the middle for the troops in the passage to flee for their lives.

Since the battlefield of this war was the Elven Forest, the mobility of the cavalry had no effect, so Gutesian did not bring the cavalry into the battle at all, except for some heralds.

Under the effect of lighting magic, more than a mile away, the soldiers in the front row could already see a black tree shaking the branches and leaves above their heads, gradually advancing towards them like a wall, and above the black forest, there were griffin knights hovering to reconnoiter the enemy below, but they did not dare to get too close, otherwise the elven arrows could easily kill them in the night.

The general who led the heavy infantry judged the distance, and immediately ordered to stop the advance, meet the enemy in place, and the heavy infantry put up their shields and waited for the baggage soldiers who were transporting trebuchets and ballistas in the rear.

Fortunately, in the early days of the war, in order to speed up the attack on the Elven Forest, the Holy See army built a large number of trebuchets for bombarding the Elven Forest, and later as the logging deepened, these trebuchets gradually became useless, and most of them were left idle in the barracks outside, which came in handy at this time. And in order to prevent the surprise attack of the elven army, most of these equipment are assembled, including those incendiary bombs, which are also left over from the original use. In addition, Gutsian also ordered the baggage troops to bring all the flammable materials such as fire oil, which were more useful than huge stones against the Treants.

Before all the equipment was positioned, the captain of the heavy infantry on this side had already given the order to attack loudly, and the treemen in front of them were also accelerating, although their speed was indeed very slow, but they were still close to the distance of five hundred paces, which had already entered the range of the trebuchet, so the commander decided not to wait any longer.

"Squeak!" After a loud sound, the trebuchet's winch had been tightened, and the forty-pace-long boom bent violently and was slowly pulled down.

"Fire Oil Bomb!"

"Five hundred steps ahead, shoot!"

At the sound of the command, the boom suddenly straightened, and a huge force pulled the two hundred pounds of oil canister towards the distant woods. The canister filled with oil burst almost immediately when it hit the woods, and the fire oil inside splattered out and was everywhere.

"Molotov!

"Five hundred steps ahead, shoot!"

While the first round of fire bombs was still in the air, the officer had already given the order for the second round of projection, and the engineers in the service of the trebuchet immediately scrambled for a while.
