Chapter Twenty-Five: Victory
At this time, the Kazakh cavalry regiment had also met the Soma City Corps of the Carson Empire.
"Lord Kazakh, what should I do now?" the adjutant was a little weak when he saw the formation of the Imperial Legion.
Looking at the mighty imperial army, Kazakh is also helpless.
"Ready, charge!" "It's all coming, and you can't say anything about it. Kazakhs had no choice but to rush forward.
So, the cavalry of five hundred men rushed directly from the front to the imperial army of three thousand people.
When the Imperial Army saw the Kingdom's cavalry charge, they immediately launched a defensive formation. The cavalry all retreated, and the infantry, holding large shields and spears, moved forward in a horizontal formation.
When the formation was complete, the front infantry inserted their huge shields into the ground, and the rear infantry extended their spears from the gaps in their shields, waiting for the arrival of the kingdom's cavalry attack.
"Spread out to both sides!" Kazakh, seeing the defensive position of the Imperial Army, ordered loudly.
This kind of defense is the standard cavalry defense, and if you lead the cavalry forward, then all five hundred people will definitely be nailed to the imperial spear in the end.
The cavalry regiment quickly spread out in front of the Imperial formation, diverging from both sides of the Imperial army like a boulder in the river.
Suddenly, two columns of archers appeared from each side of the Imperial army, and with an order, a rain of arrows scattered on both sides.
"Oh no, it's too close! Spread out! Out of range!"
The Kazakhs shouted and rushed towards the rear of the Imperial Army, and all the cavalry members followed in the footsteps of the commander and fled out of range.
"Phew!" the Kingdom Army stopped after rushing to the rear of the Imperial Army.
"My lord, what should we do next?" The adjutant saw that the imperial army had no intention of pursuing them, and asked the Kazakhs for instructions.
Looking at the slowly advancing Imperial Army, Kazakh pondered for a moment.
Indeed, with such an obvious delaying tactic, the Imperial Army is not a fool and cannot fail to see it. But the result of charging again will be the same, it will be impossible to stop the pace of the Imperial army.
"Young Master Leon shouldn't have deliberately sent us to death, right?" the adjutant thought involuntarily when he had nothing to do.
Kazakh was also very anxious when he saw this plot. If he can't stop the advance of the Imperial army, then the city of Pakabe will definitely be lost.
"What to do?" the Kazakh's mind was full of this question.
Suddenly, Kazakh finally remembered something. On the night after the battle meeting, Young Master Leon quietly found himself, handed him a bag, and told himself to open it when he encountered the Imperial Army.
Kazakh hurriedly found the bag given by Leon, but when he opened it, he was surprised. It reads: Full speed to Soma City!
When the adjutant saw the stunned Kazakh, he couldn't help but glance at the note in his hand and was also stunned.
"My lord, are we going to give up the city of Pakabe now?" the lieutenant asked Kazakh, in disbelief.
"According to the instructions of this bag, you can only think like this, right?" Kazakh really couldn't understand what the young master wanted to do, and said with a wry smile.
"But even if we get to Soma City, we can't do anything, can we?"
"Probably so. ”
Indeed, what can this few hundred cavalry do?
"Shall we advance or retreat now?" the adjutant thought, "This kind of key wartime decision should be left to the Supreme Commander, because no matter what you do, you will definitely have to take the blame in the end, and you can still get rid of it."
Kazakh hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, and ordered everyone: "As fast as possible, rush to Soma City!"
On the Drake Canyon side, with the appearance of the Skeleton Knight, the tide of battle has been reversed. More and more skeleton soldiers poured into the canyon, gradually forcing the Imperial army back.
Leon and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this good situation.
However, before they could rejoice, a number of scattered skeletons flew up at the exit of the canyon.
Dozens of glowing figures shuttled through the army of the undead, as if no one was in a no-man's land, quickly attacking the magic array.
"It's coming!" Bill's voice sank.
There is no doubt that it is a high-ranking warrior in the Imperial Army, and they have only one goal, to stop this magic!
"Everyone obeys, never let them enter the magic circle!" Bill drew his sword and pointed forward.
"Yes!"
All of them draw their weapons at the same time for the fierce battle that is coming!
"Up!"
As the high-ranking warriors of the empire burst out of the canyon, Bill roared, and all his martial arts were added, leading the pro-guards forward!
I saw nearly a hundred glowing figures, coming and going in the army of the undead, and fell into a melee.
Due to the addition of Bill and the personal guards, they finally barely held back the advance of the high-ranking warriors of the empire. But they have a slight advantage in numbers and cannot completely relax yet.
"Xuedia, if you have an emergency, lose your magic to me!" Leon said to Xuedia as he watched the battle in the distance.
"I know. Xuedia spoke with a little difficulty.
Bill played against five people on the opposite side, and the fight was inextricable.
Suddenly, four of them used all their strength and ran straight towards Bill, looking like they were all gone.
Bill dodges the deadly attacks of the four. In the end, there was no way to dodge, so he could only take the next heavy blow and be directly shocked and flew out. Luckily, Bill had already used all kinds of martial arts on his body and did not suffer any substantial damage.
But at this time, Bill suddenly panicked. Because, he clearly saw that the high-ranking warrior of the empire who did not participate in the attack was already half-crouching on the ground at this time.
I saw a faint light all over his body, and suddenly he clenched the giant sword with both hands, soared into the air, and flew directly towards the magic array!
"Martial Arts - Pick and Choose!"
Bill turned around and shouted at Leon, "Leon!"
got up and tried to catch up, but was dragged by four people.
That's right, they always have only one goal!
Hearing his father's shout, Leon also noticed the Imperial warriors leaping from mid-air.
I saw him roaring, holding up the giant sword with both hands, and approaching Xue Yuanya!
"Xuedia!
Leon ran towards Xuedia, trying to obtain Xuedia's magic to stop the high-ranking warrior who had burst in.
However, it was too late. When Leon ran to Xuedia's side, the warriors of the Empire had already flown directly into the sky, and the giant sword slashed down directly!
Looking at the falling greatsword, Leon couldn't do anything. Even if the magic power on his body is activated now, it is too late to unleash defensive magic.
"Damn!"
Leon stood directly in front of Xuedia, wishing that he now had a powerful martial art to withstand this fatal blow for Xuedia.
Seeing this, Xue Tiya hurriedly shouted, "Stupid!
But Leon, as if he hadn't heard, stood firmly.
The Imperial warriors also noticed Leon, but now he had no way out.
So he concentrated the weight of his whole body on his hands and accelerated downward, intending to cut off the two of them together!
"Get down!" she yelled at Leon.
Just as the greatsword was about to fall, two figures suddenly appeared next to Leon, pushing Leon backwards and taking the Imperial Warrior's heavy slash.
Leon fell to Xuedia's feet with a huge thrust, and the ground on which he had just stood also sank due to the huge impact.
Leon barely opened his eyes to see what was really going on.
I saw two figures, holding the giant sword of the imperial soldier and holding it firmly with both hands.
Seeing that the giant sword could not be drawn, the Imperial warrior jumped backwards and distanced himself.
One of them chased after him, while the other stayed on guard.
Only then did Leon see clearly that it was none other than the assassin who had just been made a death knight by Xuedia!
Leon finally breathed a sigh of relief. No wonder Xue Tiya seemed so struggling just now, it turned out that she was summoning the army of the undead and summoning the death knight at the same time!
Leon, who had escaped death, smiled at Xuedia, but Xuedia was full of uncontrollable anger.
"Stupid, do you want to die like that?" "Thinking about the situation just now, if you summon yourself more slowly, this guy will really be split in half.
Leon scratched his head and said apologetically, "No. ”
Leon was frightened at first, and it seemed that he was causing her trouble again. I thought to myself: "It seems that I will have to practice martial arts in the future, after all, there are many situations that cannot be dealt with by magic alone." ”
"Stay here, don't go anywhere!" Xuedia has no other energy to take care of Leon anymore, and it is already very difficult to maintain the "endless army of the undead" now.
At this time, Leon, like a child who made a mistake, honestly stayed by Xuedia's side.
When Bill saw Leon and the others saved the day, he also focused on dealing with the four people in front of him.
And the skeleton army gradually rushed to the front of the imperial army.
Facing the countless skeletons rushing towards him, some soldiers who had never seen this formation trembled in fear.
"Damn, what the hell is Aeolos doing, why are more and more skeleton armies coming?" Clal roared angrily.
Originally, he thought that sending Aiolos should be able to quickly eliminate the mage on the other side, but now the actual situation is far beyond his expectations. And the soldiers under his command have begun to waver.
"Report!" the scout reported to Krar again. "Lord Aeolos is in a bitter battle right now!"
"What?" the people present were not calm.
"When will you be able to get rid of the magician on the other side?" Claire was already very impatient, and every time he reported nothing good.
"Well, there's no way to get rid of the mage on the other side for the time being. The Scout replied in a shudder.
"Report!" the soldier at the front ran back, "Lord Clal, the army of the undead is coming soon, please instruct!"
"Damn!" Claire was at a loss for what to do. The source of the army of the undead cannot be solved, and even if their army can resist for a while, it will eventually be drowned in this endless white bone.
"Lord Krar, please give orders!" The generals were extremely nervous, and they had little time left.
"Retreat!" Clair angrily gave the order to retreat.
"Yes!" everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, and finally they didn't have to go head-to-head with these lifeless things.
So, the order to retreat was conveyed in a very fast manner, and the entire Imperial Legion ran away without looking back. I'm afraid that I will run slowly and end up as one of these white bones.
Aiolos was fighting hard with Bill's personal guards when he suddenly heard the news of the retreat and scolded angrily: "These bastards who are greedy for life and afraid of death!"
"My lord, what should we do?" the rest of the warriors looked at Aiolos, waiting for orders.
Aiolos watched as the army of the undead continued to pour into the canyon, and even if the magic was stopped now, the Imperial army was already gone.
"What else can I do?
Aiolos retreated as he spoke, and the rest of the warriors stopped fighting and retreated with Aiolos.
When the guards saw the Imperial soldiers fleeing, they were about to catch up when they were stopped by Bill: "Don't chase!"
Everyone gradually gathered towards Bill and continued to guard the magic circle.
After confirming that the Imperial forces had completely retreated, Xuedia reined in her magic. The magic array on the ground gradually disappeared, and the army of skeletons all fell, turning into piles of white bones.
"Great!" everyone began to cheer.
"We're victorious! ”
Everyone gradually leaned towards Leon and Xuedia, ready to thank Xuedia.
Due to the huge consumption of mana, Xuedia almost fainted the moment she had just withdrawn her magic, and finally barely supported herself on the ground with her wand.
"Leon, we made it!" Bill happily ran over and picked Leon up.
"Dad, are you all alright?" Leon looked around at the guards, and although everyone hung up, thankfully no one hung up.
"It's all minor injuries, it's fine!" Bill saw Xuedia and said very gratefully, "Master Magician, thank you for your help!"
The guards also thanked Xuedia.
"You're welcome. Xue Tiya said lightly.
"Leon, you actually know such a powerful magician, why didn't you introduce it before!" Bill hammered Leon, causing himself to worry about it for so long.
"Let's not talk about that yet, let's go back first!" Leon had just noticed Xuedia's condition, and it was best to let her rest first.
"Okay! Let's go!"
So the people in their hands supported each other and returned to the way they had come.
Imperial reinforcements had already arrived at the city of Pakabe, but they could not capture the city.
"What the hell is going on with the other two legions?" Dudek asked the men beside him in a loud voice.
"Lord Dudek, according to the scouts, Lord Krar's legion has just retreated. Lord Axville's legion has encountered some harassment and will be there soon!" the adjutant said cautiously to Dudek.
"Retreat? How could he retreat? What the hell is going on?" Dudek looked incredulous.
"Lord Hui, it is said that I met an enemy necromancer. ”
"Even if you meet a necromancer, you can't stand up to a legion of 3,000 people, right?
"My lord, the Scouts have discovered Lord Axville's legion!"
"Very good! Prepare to join Lord Axville's legion and attack the city together!"
"Yes!"
At this time, the Kazakh cavalry regiment also arrived outside the city of Soma.
"Lord Kazakh, even if we arrive at Soma City, what can we do?" the adjutant asked Kazakh, looking at Soma City, where the gates were tightly closed.
Yes, the Kazakhs don't understand the use of coming here either.
"What the hell does Master Leon want us to do?"
Just as the Kazakhs were deep in thought, someone suddenly shouted: "My lord, look! The city gate is open!"
Kazakh and the adjutant looked towards Soma City, and the city gate was slowly opening!
"Could it be a trap, my lord?" the adjutant reminded worriedly.
"What were the approximate numbers of the Imperial Army when they first encountered them?" Kazakh did not make up his mind directly, but asked the adjutant rhetorically. Although he felt that Lyon lacked practical experience, he could feel a sense of confidence in him. So he always believed that Leon had let him here for a reason, otherwise he wouldn't have given him a tip.
"About 3,000 people!" The adjutant was not sure of the exact number, so he could only give an approximate one.
"Then it's no problem!" Kazakh roared back, "Assault with all the army!"
After speaking, he directly took the lead in the charge.
"Yes!"
The scattered defenders of Soma City all smiled playfully when they saw the sudden charge of the Imperial cavalry. But when they heard that the city gate was opened by someone who didn't know who opened it, the smile on their faces instantly froze, and they hurriedly organized personnel to block the attack of the Kazakh cavalry.
But for the well-equipped cavalry of the kingdom, without the obstruction of the city gates, they were still in a no-man's land, and they broke through the rudimentary defense line of the imperial defenders very easily. The original residents of Soma City also began to assist the Kingdom cavalry and completely recaptured Soma City.
Looking at the cheering crowd, the adjutant rode to the Kazakh side and happily asked, "My lord, what the hell is going on? Did you know it from the beginning?"
It turned out that the adjutant thought that the Kazakhs had known about Lyon's plans for a long time, so they would not hesitate to follow the instructions.
Kazakh is also confused, I know a hammer, and I don't know what's going on. We just arrived in Soma City, why did the gate open on its own?
"Haha, hahaha. Yes, of course I know what Lord Lyon is planning!" replied Kazakh with a laugh, not saying that he didn't know either. But whatever, anyway, he somehow recaptured Soma City.
At this point, Harris emerged from the crowd.
"Kazakh, you're too slow!"
"Harris, why are you here?" Kazakh looked surprised, this guy seemed to have disappeared before the battle began.
"Haha! I and my men were here the night we finished the combat meeting!" Harris said proudly.
Kazakh suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "It turns out that it was you who opened the city gate! It turns out that this is Lord Leon's plan! Hahaha." ”
"Well, I didn't expect that. ”
"I didn't expect it, even the empire wouldn't have thought that someone would use cavalry to attack the city!
"Yes, it's good to believe in Young Master Leon, otherwise it would have been a failure. ”
"I'm completely convinced now. The young master does have the courage to be the next head of the family! ha. ”
The two retainers had begun to admit Lyon from the bottom of their hearts.
Axville finally arrived at the city of Pakabe with his army to make peace with Dudek. When the two were just about to jointly attack the city, they suddenly received the news that Soma City had fallen.
"How is that possible!" Dudek and Axville asked at the same time, it was impossible for the Kingdom Army to have extra troops to attack the city.
"Report to your lordship, it is the cavalry regiment that attacked the city before. ”
Hearing this, Axville sat down paralyzed. Because of the harassment of the Kingdom Cavalry Regiment, I took it lightly, thinking that they were mantis arms blocking the car, but I didn't expect it to be a dark Chen Cang!
"My lords, what should we do now?" the generals waited for the orders of the two supreme commanders.
If the siege continues, the two legions can only gather a siege force of 4,000 men at most. Although it is not a problem to capture the city of Pakabe, the question is how long it will take it. If the cavalry of Soma City came back to reinforce it, it would be a big question mark whether the Imperial Army would be able to win this battle in the face of a two-sided attack.
"Retreat!"
In the end, Dudek had to give the order to retreat.
The moment they question whether they can win the war, they have already lost!
Watching the withdrawal of the Imperial army, the defenders of Pakabe City cheered.
The banner of the Frank family also fluttered on the city walls!
