At the moment before the siege was about to reap the results, the enemy just threw down nearly a thousand corpses and ran away?!

Ryan stared at the devil's troops and the mountains of corpses outside the city in a daze, and fell into a puzzled state for a while, he didn't think that the devil who put Charlie in crisis with just his eyes was a short-sighted character, nor did he think that he didn't have the courage to fight to the death.

But why did it choose to retreat at this time?

Ryan cast an inquiring eye on Charlie, who was indeed the one who saw it most clearly, because he knew the current state of these devils and the inside story of some of the key figures.

Charlie took off the ancient bronze crest, carefully handed it to Ryan, and said, "Maybe I was shocked by the aura contained in this crest! Or maybe I felt that winning this battle was not of much significance, and the benefits were far less valuable than the pay!"

Qian Jue pointed to the corpses in a place outside the city and asked, "But they have already paid a lot of price! The troops have lost at least two-thirds!"

Charlie shook his head and said, "As for the devils, they don't care about the life or death of these cannon fodder, only the centaur overseers will be treated as a loss by it.

In hell, the gap between classes is unimaginably wide, cannon fodder is always cannon fodder, and no matter what you give, it will not change the essence of identity. ”

Charlie couldn't guess what Caoz really thought at the moment when he chose to retreat, but he didn't expect it to be too far off.

Perhaps he felt that it was not in his interest to fight a life-and-death battle with the defenders led by Prince Ryan, so he gave up some of the low-hanging fruit, or perhaps because of his weak heart, this demon descendant had no special abilities other than a particularly strong soul;

This allows Charlie to peek into Kaoz's heart, it may not be as powerful as Charlie imagined, if he can resist the influence of the powerful soul power, maybe Charlie has the ability to confront it head-on.

After Leon retreated from the main battlefield, he went up to the outer wall, and was immediately embraced by Prince Ryan, not caring about the stained blood on his armor.

Ryan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Leon, well done! Thanks to you today, I am able to guard the most dangerous place for me, Lancelot deserves to be the mainstay of the thousand-year-old empire." ”

Leon smiled and said, "I also want to thank Charlie for saving his life! Without that arrow, I'm afraid my defense line would have been broken by a monster." ”

"What's going on?"

As Leon describes how his body lost control after being locked by the devil during the battle, Ryan realizes that Charlie is not the only one who has been targeted by the devil.

Ryan smiled heartily and said, "So, I still have to thank my eyes, giving the Quel'Salas longbow to Charlie was the best decision I made!"

The crowd laughed.

After killing all the monsters, Phoebe began to organize soldiers to count the battlefield and rescue the wounded, which took more than half an hour to complete.

After the battlefield was cleared, Phoebe took a few generals to the outer wall, found Prince Ryan, who had been reluctant to go down for a long time, and reported the military situation to him, while Chisaki and Leon willingly pulled Charlie down the outer wall, after all, they were not soldiers of the pioneer battalion, and there was no need to hear these reports.

Phoebe said, "Your Highness, this battle was fierce! ”

Ryan didn't have any expression on his fat face, "How can it be?"

"Our army lost 131 people, including 10 non-commissioned officers, 3 knight lieutenants, 1 guard knight, and more than 600 wounded......"

Ryan was slightly startled, interrupted him, and asked, "So many people are hurt?"

Phoebe affirmed: "Yes, this group of hellish creatures are not afraid of death, and it is difficult for the warriors not to be injured in the face of this desperate style of fighting, but it is not a fatal injury, go back and let the magician treat it, and they can basically be cured, except for dozens of unlucky eggs." ”

Ryan said in a non-deniable tone, "Find a way to save the lives of these seriously wounded, as long as they bring back the Arcane Ring alive, they will be saved." ”

One sentence made the eyes of the middle-level soldiers who were listening red, and their expressions were quite moved.

Ryan muttered, "Did the clerk record a magical mirror image of the battlefield?"

"Yes. Phoebe sensed the meaning of Ryan's gaze and added, "Of course, including the battle in the town, Charlie's performance is amazing!"

The results were also impressive, with a total of 1,031 Hell Monsters killed, most of which were mid-tier classes, such as the Gnoll Barbarians, Centaur Warriors, and Sheep-Headed Overseers.

That huge centaur is probably a boss-level character, and it was all lost in our hands, which shows that our army has the strength to fight against the devil's army!"

"Don't be so optimistic!" Ryan shook his head and said, "Let's leave Chisuki and Leon aside for the time being, because they belong to our camp and have long been included in the calculation.

There are two key points in this war, I don't know if you have noticed.

First, Charlie played a very important role, and his point kills eliminated many potential threats, and I wonder what would happen if all those threats were released, and would they crush Lyon's defenses?

Moreover, he almost eliminated the riot in the town with one blow, which was the turning point of the whole battle, and I felt helpless at the time, because under the situation at that time, the entire vanguard battalion had already exerted its combat effectiveness to the limit, barely withstood the enemy's charge, and then transferred some of the forces out, it was inevitable that one would lose the other, and even collapse on both sides, and it was Charlie who helped us to support the rear.

Second, according to the convention of siege warfare, in the early stage of the war, the defender has the most advantage, and the battle loss ratio is very eye-catching, but once it is broken through, enters hand-to-hand combat, or even street battles in the city, the situation may be reversed, and the data will take a sharp turn.

This time, the opponent chose to retreat almost at the moment before the harvest of the fruits, so there are such beautiful statistics, and if it holds out for ten minutes, I think there will be a lot of casualties among our personnel.

Therefore, don't think that the Pioneer Battalion has the ability to fight this devil army head-on, we are still a lot behind. ”

Phoebe nodded silently in understanding.

Ryan sighed, "Honestly, I still haven't figured out how this devil said to leave!"

What Ryan can't understand the most is the devil's disregard for these 1,000 hellish monsters who are not afraid of death, and if he has such a group of brave and fearless warriors under his command, he can't wait to provide for these dead soldiers well, in order to be useful at the critical moment.

Phoebe thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Yes! This is completely uncompounded with the laws of war, and it is simply a child's play with the lives of his subordinates!"

"Maybe that's what Charlie said, cannon fodder is cannon fodder, and no matter how much they die, they won't feel distressed. With that, Ryan smiled bitterly and said, "If only I had such a group of strong and obedient warriors." ”

Phoebe just smiled, changed the subject, and asked, "Your Highness, what should I do next?"

Ryan pondered for a moment and made a decision: "Collect the camp and rush back to the Arcane Ring immediately!"

"What about the corpses of these devils?"

"Have you collected all the specimens?"

"Specimens of military merit have been collected. ”

Ryan bowed slightly, and said, "Okay, find a way to take the centaur overseer away, and burn the rest of the corpses in place." ”

"Understood!"

Seeing the Pioneer Battalion neatly packing up, Charlie knew Ryan was planning to retreat.

I have to say that Prince Ryan's vision does have his sharpness, he is not arrogant and ignorant because of a big victory against the devil, through a real battle, he fully understands the gap between the devil's true strength and the strength of the battle report, and is also very familiar with his own ability, just looking at the quality of this aspect, he has the conditions to become a generation of Ming Jun.

At the same time, he has a bold and generous personality, knows how to buy people's hearts, is good at listening to good advice, and can be said to have a considerable personality charm, Charlie feels willing to help him do things.

Having said that, such Ryan has been suppressed by the "evolved" Weining, so how strong is Prince Weining now? What kind of deal did he make with the devil?
