Chapter 48: A Turning Battle

"What are you talking about, Leah is besieged, how is this possible!"

Zhou Xiaoning stood up abruptly, his face full of disbelief.

What Artoria's strength is, Zhou Xiaoning couldn't be clearer. Even if it is limited by the two major inhibition forces, it can only exert the limit of mortals, that is, the level of the fifth-order peak, but the combat experience and the skill of using magic power can not be sealed casually, so Artoria's real combat power is far more than the fifth-order peak, even if she encounters a sixth-order powerhouse, she has the power to fight.

It is not an exaggeration to say that even if the British army was completely wiped out this time, Artoria would be able to retreat with one body. But the problem is that with Artoria's character, she may not be willing to retreat.

Zhou Xiaoning took a deep breath, it was already autumn at this time, the weather began to cool, and the slightly cool air entered the nasal cavity, slightly extinguishing a little irritability, and making Zhou Xiaoning calm again.

"You give me a clear explanation of the ins and outs of the whole thing, and you are not allowed to miss half a word!"

"Yes!"

The one who came to report to Zhou Xiaoning on the front-line battle situation was just an ordinary civilian official, even if Zhou Xiaoning only inadvertently leaked a trace of breath, it was not something he could bear. At this moment, when he heard that Zhou Xiaoning wanted to know more about the battle situation, how dare he hesitate, and hurriedly explained everything he knew like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

It turned out that just five days earlier, the Anglo-Saxon army, which was about to run out of food, had broken through the cauldron and launched a desperate charge against the British army, and 100,000 soldiers attacked with all their might, never retreating, and there was nothing left to stop them except death.

Although Artoria and others quickly organized soldiers to resist, the enemy's offensive was too fierce, and they adopted a completely lethal fighting style, so that even if the British army occupied the territory at the beginning, it was still beaten back again and again.

The brutality of that battle can really be described as a river of corpses and blood.

With the courage of the Kingdom Army, Artoria and his men wiped out nearly 40,000 Anglo-Saxon soldiers in one fell swoop, which can be said to have inflicted heavy losses on the enemy army. However, after killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 themselves, after this battle, the kingdom army was left with less than 5,000, and the noble private soldiers were almost wiped out.

This is the result of Artoria's use of all the auxiliary talismans and healing talismans at hand, otherwise the casualties of the British army will be even greater.

In fact, when the war is fought to this extent, there is no need to continue any longer, and they will not get anything except to continue to drain the vitality of both sides and give the surrounding countries an opportunity to take advantage of.

It's just that the Anglo-Saxons have already killed the red eyes, and all the wildness in their hearts has been stimulated, they don't care what will happen later, what they are eager for at this time is to vent the killing desire in their hearts, they want to destroy everything in front of them!

An army of tens of thousands of people caught in madness can be so terrifying that it is simply unimaginable.

If they could, Artoria did not want to entangle with such an enemy, but behind them was Great Britain, and if they retreated, the Anglo-Saxons would drive in, and it would be a disaster for Great Britain.

However, if it were to fight head-on, with their remaining forces, they would have no chance of winning at all.

So Artoria changed her way of fighting, and the remnants of her kingdom army were divided into five teams, each with a thousand men, and sent a certain number of knights of the round table to lead them, scattering their activities, not seeking to kill many enemies, but to drag the Anglo-Saxon army to the border.

Although the Anglo-Saxon army captured a lot of grain and grass after breaking through the camp of the British army, it was only enough for the 60,000 army to consume in five days, so Artoria only needed to drag on for these five days, and the enemy army would once again fall into the embarrassing situation of running out of food and grass, and then they would have to retreat.

It was really not an easy task to hold down tens of thousands of enemies with 5,000 men, but Artoria had no choice.

In fact, Artoria still has a way to go, that is, to use the attack talisman and summoning talisman given to her by Zhou Xiaoning, but Artoria is extremely repulsive to this method, so when formulating a strategy, she deliberately ignored this point.

And the Knights of the Round Table were all loyal to Artoria, so naturally they did whatever the queen said, and no one mentioned the talisman.

I won't say much about how the five teams of the kingdom army conducted guerrilla warfare, but on the whole, it was relatively smooth at the beginning, and they easily dragged on for a day. However, the Anglo-Saxon army was not full of brainless barbarians, such as their leading generals, who saw Artoria's intentions, so the next day he sent 10,000 soldiers to pin down the kingdom army, while the rest made the appearance of advancing into Great Britain.

This move is not ruthless, and with Artoria's care for Great Britain, she will definitely show up to stop it, and then the Anglo-Saxon army will be able to wipe out the kingdom army in one fell swoop. Even if Artoria doesn't show up, it doesn't matter, they will attack the hinterland of Great Britain according to the original plan, I believe that it won't be long before the whole of Great Britain will be their territory, and then they will go back and clean up those remnants of the defeated army, then it will not be captured?

Artoria would not let her enemies get her way, so she issued an order that surprised all the Knights of the Round Table and the Lord's Army.

"Everyone return to Camelot City, and if anything happens to her, I'll succeed her as king, that's what Leah said, right?"

Zhou Xiaoning's face was expressionless, and his tone was also very flat, but everyone present felt an unprecedented chill, and no one dared to make a sound for a while, for fear of touching Zhou Xiaoning's brows.

"Yes...... Yes, that's what Her Majesty said. ”

The civil official's voice trembled a little, although Zhou Xiaoning didn't show it, he still felt the anger in Zhou Xiaoning's heart like a volcanic eruption. He was really afraid that Zhou Xiaoning would be angry with him, he was just a little nobleman, but he couldn't withstand Zhou Xiaoning's anger.

"Hehe, I always feel underestimated."

Zhou Xiaoning laughed at himself, and then no matter how shocking he was, his figure flashed and disappeared in an instant. At the same time, the entire government affairs hall echoed the words left by Zhou Xiaoning before leaving.

"I will bring Leah back safely, I hope that some people will keep to themselves and don't make things happen to me, otherwise you will know the consequences......"
