Juan's carriage was the fastest, and the four horses dragged his small carriage in the direction of the riverbank castle without stopping for a second. And all around him are cavalry teams on war horses, these cavalry teams are soldiers who have temporarily left the battlefield just now, but now at this time, no one will investigate this problem, everyone just wants to flee into the castle quickly.

Kionis, the leader of the second-class privileged mercenary group, the shock mercenary group, ran towards the riverbank castle while looking back at the knights who had caught up with the Imperial soldiers who had caught up to the rear, and he didn't know why Juan was intimidated by the more than a thousand knights. It's just a little better equipped and a little shiny armor, and for the Imperial army, which still has tens of thousands of men, Kionis doesn't feel the need to run away so badly. Moreover, the shock mercenary group can also be replaced with some special iron ballistas to attack soldiers with war horses. But now it's too late, once the order to retreat is given, no matter how good the situation is, it will immediately be one-sided, and the reinforcements of the East Oguna Empire have been completely routed!

Some of the troops patrolling the perimeter of the castle immediately ran to the castle and informed the lord of the city, Viscount Hollis, to open the gates and let the tens of thousands of people who had escaped into the city. And many garrisons on the city wall also noticed this, and took out long-range weapons to aim at the back of the imperial army.

The deputy commander Rashad and the female knight captain Selena had already joined forces and stood on the south side of the riverbank. And the corpses and weapons in this place have been layered several layers, and many of them have fallen into the river, sucking the river water dry, making this river, which is not wide or deep, into "flat land", which is really shocking.

"Do we have a lot to lose?" Rashad asked Selena, covering the wound on his arm.

Selena asked some field doctors to immediately come over and give emergency treatment to Rashad and said, "I have lost quite a few knights of the Church Order, and it is estimated that half of them have been lost." She took off her helmet, frowned, and then helped the doctor remove a roll of gauze to help Rashad with his treatment.

"Then immediately let all the soldiers and knights of the Church Alliance retreat, and stop the pursuit," the wound on Rassad's arm was very deep, it had been cut to the bone, and if the wound was a little deeper, it might not even allow him to save his arm, "There is a 'thunder' in that castle, and we can't rush over it like this." ”

Selena looked up at the other party, then silently lowered her head again and continued to bandage Rassad. When the chief knight Kiro saw the victory, he immediately returned to the city of Crafeld to report to Archbishop Arthur Auerbach, while the chief knight Riley immediately brought back the chapel fighters who were still in pursuit with his men. As for the infantry of the Kingdom of Sallins, led by the white-haired general Guillermo, they gathered their ranks faster than the Church Alliance, and all returned to their original formations, as if they had not been affected by the attrition in the slightest. The well-trained regular army of the kingdom did not pick up the weapons that had been discarded on the ground, nor did they sit down on the spot to rest, they all stood upright.

After Guillermo had the soldiers count the numbers, he sent the infantry to bring back the bodies of his companions. It was a long time before he noticed that the team on the other side, which had only a few thousand men left, had completely lost its direction and had gathered in a chaotic formation more than a thousand meters away. He immediately sent his lieutenant over and asked the captain of the guard, Cheddy, why he didn't manage his men.

However, with the exception of the Church Warriors, the Church Knights, and the infantry of the Kingdom of Salins, most of the other mercenaries of the Church Alliance pursued in the direction of Riverland Castle, chasing after the defeated and fleeing Imperial soldiers. Although they had less than 10,000 men, they had no scruples about having 100,000 brothers behind them. On the contrary, the leader of the Tearing Mercenary Regiment "Sharp Claw" was not reckless at all, gathered all his subordinates, and then withdrew to the north bank of the river, taking some good weapons while retreating, or searching the bag containing gold coins in the corpse.

The Potato Mercenaries had all gathered at Fidel, and Ayana and Fide were working on the black-and-gray enchanted shield, and not long after they had eliminated the Captain of the Guard, Chedy, the cheers of victory enveloped the entire riverbank battlefield.

"Your sword is enchanted, isn't it?" asked Ayana

"That's right, it's called 'Silence', it was originally Andre's weapon, and then he gave it to me and asked me to keep it for the time being," Fei De touched the original golden shield, he didn't expect the power of "Silence" to be so powerful, he actually smashed the opponent's enchanted shield into scrap iron in one fell swoop, "This two-handed sword can make other enchanted weapons ineffective." However, as soon as Feid's words fell, the shield held by Ayana in his hand slowly faded the black and gray color of the indication like a poisonous snake molting, revealing a golden appearance.

Feder reached for the edge of the golden shield and found that it had regained the magic of the enchantment, "It turns out that the 'silence' will only last for a while. He whispered.

Ayana nodded, as far as she knew, the shield held by the captain of the guard, Chedy, was able to withstand fatal injuries from attacks from other directions in the unconscious state of its owner. Such perfect armor is really rare, it basically doesn't cost anything other than the freedom of one of your hands, and if the user's shield arm is flexible enough, then it can protect more places.

"Do you want it?" Fed saw that Ayana had been carefully studying the shield, anyway, Chedi was killed by Ayana herself, so there was no problem with this trophy returning to the girl in front of her.

Ayana shook her head, and she said, "If I had to assign it, I would give it to Squadron Leader Avi." ”

Fei De thought about it and thought it was appropriate, after all, the captains of the potato mercenary group basically didn't like and were good at using shields. As the leader of the cavalry squadron, Avi only had a light quenched knight's sword in his hand, and it might be better if he had an additional enchanted shield - Lukka and Hughes would also be able to hold this round golden shield and use it on their horses.

While Fidel was thinking about this, the other squadron leaders had already returned.

The Marcus brothers gained a lot, and the two brothers each slashed and killed nearly thirty Imperial soldiers, and of course their bodies also "harvested" a lot of scars. But for the two of them, this has long been accustomed to it, and under the influence of the crossbow of ridicule, they do not feel the pain in their bodies, but become more and more courageous. Noor and the other squad leaders were also largely wounded, but they had been fighting behind the armed soldiers of the Church with the soldiers of the East Oguna Empire who had broken through, so they did not encounter a troublesome opponent. On the contrary, the champion fighter Patrick didn't have much to gain - after he was affected by the crossbow of ridicule, he began to use his willpower to control himself from being manipulated by the furious heart, and then he kept struggling with his consciousness in the distance, and when he adjusted his state, the Eastern Oguna Imperial army had already begun to retreat.

The other squad leaders, such as "Elder" Franklin and Big Nose Fan, were basically unharmed, and they looked as if they hadn't fought, but had just come here and passed by. Marcus made a quick inventory and found that the Potato Mercenary Regiment had lost just over a dozen men in addition to the cavalry squadron.

But when Lukka came back with a dejected squadron of cavalry, it surprised everyone - Avi, the squadron leader who rode at the end of the line, sat on the "king" and held Hughes's body in both hands, while the head of the squad leader Hughes was wrapped in cloth by another mercenary cavalryman.

All the people from the Potato Mercenary Regiment rushed over, including Ayana and Fid. Avi's eyes were still glistening with tears, and the young man, who was only eighteen years old, his arms were still shaking, and the headless corpse he was holding was indeed Hughes.

"Alas, this idiot, it's good if the body was buried on the spot, why do you want to bring it back..."Big Nose Fan said as he turned his head, not wanting to look at everyone's sad expressions.

The Marcus brothers slowly placed Hughes's body on the ground, and they gritted their teeth and roared, while Ayana closed her eyes and sighed softly, and Noor slowly walked over and examined the body of the squad leader, Hughes, who had multiple fatal wounds on his body in addition to his severed head.

Everyone knows that Hughes is an optimistic guy, although he has not been a member of the potato mercenary group for a long time, he will always take everyone to various places in the Holy Light City to play and drink. So everyone likes this joking, optimistic and open-minded team leader. Hughes's equestrian skills are also quite good, and it stands to reason that he shouldn't get injured that much. It didn't take long for everyone to realize that it was the high-pitched and maddening voice that had caused Hughes to die.

Some people also wanted to ask Avi about the real cause of Hughes's death, but Avi, who was extremely sad, didn't want to say a word now, just sat next to Hughes's corpse and looked at this squad leader who had taught him a lot - although Hughes was the squad leader, he was ten years older than Avi, but he was a real cavalry teacher, just like Eddie before.

Of course, Fed's knowledge of Eddie's death had had a great impact on the teenager, and this time it was the killing of someone who was very close to Avi, and Feder could understand such feelings. He put away the golden shield for the time being, deciding to wait until Avi regained his sanity before giving it to him.

Just when everyone in the Potato Mercenary Regiment felt very sad, a very loud roar suddenly came from the direction of the River Castle in the distance, like a violent lightning strike hitting a boulder on the ground.
