Chapter 6: Return to Blackwood (Page 1/1)

Eresto felt that the god of nature still favored him, and of course the god may be more favored by the Chinese.

As a mid-level mage, he has no low status among the Blackguards, as he knows more than ordinary soldiers.

It was an elaborate ambush by His Majesty the Emperor Alfred. They wanted to take advantage of the Chinese's successive victories to give them a profound lesson, but they did not expect that the Chinese would actually see through their plan.

Not only was there a second army behind the team, but also a lot of masters were sent, especially Gabriel, who killed the Great Knight of Lenet, who was really terrifying, and actually reached the master realm in both the fields of force and fighting spirit.

Eresto remembers that during the battle, he was struck by a psychic shock magic. This magic comes from a powerful female mage. Originally, according to his mental power, he would not be stunned by magic, but at that time, a spar grenade exploded in the back of his head, and the explosion smashed something on his head, and then he seemed to be groggy and walked a few steps, and then fell to the ground unconscious.

When he woke up again, he found himself lying in the grass. It was quiet, except for a few birdcalls coming from the sky.

He propped himself up and looked carefully left and right, there were several corpses nearby, but there was no sign of the enemy.

The battle must have been lost, and eighty percent of the remnants of the empire fled, but the Chinese did not clean up the battlefield well and hurried away. They left themselves on the battlefield as corpses.

Eresto touched the back of his head, where there was a large swollen bag, and there were clotted blood, which was quite terrible, and almost killed him. He slowly got up and found that there were no other injuries on his body.

At this moment, the sound of armor was heard not far away, and Eresto hurriedly crouched down in the grass, and when he looked over there, he saw that it was his colleague, the Blackguard Figueras, who had woken up like him, and this guy had also picked up a life and was getting up from the ground.

Eresto walked towards him, and Figueras heard the voice, hurriedly picked up a long sword from the ground, and whispered in the direction of Eresto: "Who?"

"I'm Eresto. Eresto emerged from the bushes.

"Your Excellency Eresto, you have survived! It was a one-sided battle, with so many people killed, and it seems that the two of us were lucky few. ”

"It's not good enough, or we wouldn't have been left here by the team. Eresto said.

"Lord Eresto, I fainted a little behind you, and our ranks were scattered before I was stunned by the explosion. Several officers died, and there was not even anyone to replace. So in the end, the beasts were completely on their own, and no one was able to save us at that time. "The beasts were all frightened, and they were chased across like rabbits. You know, running early at this time is not necessarily a good thing, I estimate that those who escape early will die in the pursuit of the Chinese. ”

Eresto sighed and said, "The opponent's masters and weapons are superior to ours, and those guys around His Majesty still don't judge the enemy's strength enough." ”

"I've been with a food collector several times before, but I've never encountered an enemy of this magnitude. Maybe when they found out. ”

"Alright, don't talk about these useless things, we have to find a way back to Heimu Pass quickly. Eresto said.

The two of them found two beast warriors who were also not dead on the battlefield, which is a common occurrence in hurried encounters, so it was not surprising that the four of them found a few ownerless horses and rushed to Heimu Pass together.

Eresto used the acceleration spell on the team, although it would drain the horse's stamina faster by using it to travel long distances, but at this point they could not care so much.

After walking north for more than half an hour, they caught up with a group of beast soldiers running in front, and these people looked like the rout of the battle just now.

"Your Excellency Eresto, do we want to gather them?" said Figras, "we have walked for so long, and we have not seen any trace of the Chinese, and I think the Chinese either went to the village of Acedo or returned to Suero." If we put these people together......"

"Of course, that means we've done at least something. Eresto said to one of the beast warriors beside him, "Go, go and call them all to me." ”

Eresto's team gathered a Blackguard and more than fifty orc warriors scattered on the way north, and although the speed was getting slower and slower, they didn't run into much trouble, just as the gods of nature were protecting them, whether it was a beast attack or a falling rock in the mountains, they didn't really do them any harm.

When they reached the entrance of the Blackwood Pass, the gate had been opened, and a small team of Blackguards was waiting for them along the outer edge of the moat. Apparently other escaped warriors had already fled back to the level one after another, and the upper echelons of the empire were already aware of the failure of this operation.

"Eresto, you've gathered quite a few troops. Molet, the general of the Black Guard, was standing on the head of the iron bridge with his sword, looking at the chaotic team that had escaped.

"Lord Morlett, we, we did our best. But there are war angels on the other side, and a large group of high-level warriors and mages, and we are really no match for them. "However, I have also made some discoveries through this battle. ”

"Tell me about it. "Morlett was interested.

"There are two things that make me particularly concerned, the first is that there are a large number of spiritual mages among them, which is really unfavorable to the beasts, if we can't send a large number of mages to fight against them and protect the minds of the beasts, we must face the chaos and madness of the beasts in our own team.

The second is that there are formed dark elves in their ranks, and I am afraid that these Chinese have reached some deals, or even alliances, with the elven kingdom. Eresto saluted.

Moret was slightly moved, obviously concerned about what Eresto said: "Hmm. Worthy of Eresto. None of the guys who ran back in front of them could say so much in an organized way. ”

"Your Excellency praised it. Eresto said humbly, "As a mage, in addition to fighting, I naturally need to observe and think about the characteristics of our enemies. Also, Figras helped a lot along the way. ”

"Very well, you two go back and think about and sort out these things, I'm afraid Your Majesty and the ministers will want to hear about it too. "Now go into the city and rest, and I'll send someone to call you later this day, or tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes. Your Excellency!" Eresto and Figras replied in unison.
