Chapter 77: The First Legion Perishing Again
A large number of human armies are constantly driven all the way. After seeing the sweetness in the rear, there were constantly lords coming, supporting soldiers to obtain meritorious deeds, and those who wanted to get a territory for their juniors.
There were even some businessmen who took the opportunity to enter the area to conduct business, and all in all, Remas seemed to be lively all at once. The situation is very good, and the beastmen are about to be driven away.
Only on this day, Sophira proposed to leave the Blackstone Fortress and return to the capital. Hearing Sophira's thoughts, the governor and the lord of the city retained them, but in the end they happily sent them away.
"No wonder there have been several other princes and princesses who have been fighting all along, and seeing that Remas is about to win a big victory, leaving at this time, the credit is suddenly gone. "If Sophia is here, as a princess, she naturally has the highest status here. Once you win, most of the credit goes to these two.
But now that they're gone, the rest of the battle has nothing to do with the two of them.
The city lord said indifferently: "It's not the end yet, let's fight it down first, the resistance of the beastmen has been a bit fierce recently." ”
"Hmph, no matter how fierce the resistance is, it's not like it will be destroyed by us. These damn berserkers, they can finally get out. "As a Governor, the Beastmen are wreaking havoc in Remas, and he doesn't feel good.
Now that he has driven the beastmen out under his auspices, his position as governor will be more secure, and he will find a way to transfer him out of Rimas and go to a more prosperous place in the future. This place is close to the north, and it is too dangerous and barren. Few of those mages are willing to come to this kind of place.
In the middle of the carriage, Sawa raised his little head and asked weakly, "Sister, why are we leaving?" Isn't the situation very good, and if you stay in Blackstone Fortress, you will have a lot of credit. ”
Sophia touched her brother's head and looked into the distance: "Do you really think this battle can be won?"
"Why not, didn't everyone else say victory was imminent?"
Sophia shook her head: "That's because they are short-sighted, they can only see their immediate interests, and they are blinded by interests." Since yesterday, the army has been facing more and more resistance. ”
"I have secretly learned that although the berserkers are constantly retreating, they have not left Remas, on the contrary, there are many berserkers who continue to enter the territory of Remas. If it continues, the army will lose. ”
"What? I don't know, sister, who did you listen to? ”
"Do you think my sister has been doing nothing here these days, sister, I have secretly co-opted several nobles who are still a little sober. Through them, my sister and I were able to get this information. ”
"So why don't they say it, if it really collapses, won't we lose a lot. ”
Sophia shook her head: "It's not that she doesn't say it, but she can't say it." Do you really think that only we know, and many other people have seen it. It's just that the Governor of Remas and the lord of the Blackstone Fortress were blinded by the merits in front of them, and most of the nobles were crazy to compete for military merit and territory. Whoever dares to raise an opposing opinion now will become the enemy of all. ”
Sawyer understands that whoever stands up and speaks at this time will become the enemy of most people. In order to protect themselves, they can only choose not to speak and secretly save themselves.
In fact, because of his youth, Sawyer still can't figure out some things. Sophia knows that many more sober people actually plan to use this opportunity to plan for their own interests. Others are a little more immortal, how can they show their strength.
The day after Sophia left with Sawyer, the army ahead finally suffered a setback.
The legions, which had already attacked two-thirds of the main territories, were in a mess trying to move on. However, at this time, they finally encountered danger. The first thing to encounter was the reconstituted First Legion.
The First Legion, as the native legion of Remas, is eager to make meritorious contributions and rush the fastest. On this day, they saw the beastmen again, only this time it seemed to be more numerous. But no matter how much, as long as it's a mad orc, it's a military feat. Many of them rushed towards the beastmen with red eyes, like madmen.
This time, however, instead of turning around and running, the beastmen rushed towards them as well. That kind of momentum is even crazier than theirs. At this time, many soldiers found that something was wrong.
But they want to leave but can't, because the people around them are moving forward, and they have no choice but to move forward.
"Kill, kill these orcs. "As always, the arrows flew first.
The beast man on the other side was not stunned, and the stone was thrown far away. The range is not as long as that of a bow and arrow, but it has a greater impact on the military formation. Because a stone does not necessarily affect only one person.
"Haha, it's humans, it's food, kill them, eat them. With simple words, the beastmen rushed towards their impression of food, and the two teams collided in an instant.
But in just two minutes, the commander of the First Legion realized that something was wrong. "Something is wrong, how do I feel that there are more and more orcs. Looking at the battlefield from afar, a bad premonition flashed in the captain's heart.
At this moment, the herald ran over with a panicked face and said, "Oh no, Legion Commander, in the back, we found a lot of berserkers running in this direction. There are probably more than 10,000 of them, and there may be more. ”
Hearing this, the face of the regiment commander suddenly turned pale, and the reorganized regiment did not have 50,000 people. Besides, the human will to fight is not as crazy as those mad beastmen. It's a pity that it was too late to find out about it. The legion commander, who was just about to evacuate, suddenly found that there were berserkers everywhere around him.
The soldiers, who had been fanatical, also realized that something was wrong. "Damn, how can this be, it's a trap, it's definitely a trap, everyone listen, give me a retreat. ”
The commander of the legion roared, and fled with his own soldiers. When the other soldiers saw that the corps commander had fled, they began to evacuate in a chaotic manner, and after a while, the evacuation turned into a rout. Behind was the tireless pursuit of the berserkers, who suffered heavy casualties.
"Speed up, we can't take care of these people, we have to go back alive and report this information to the rear to know. The commander of the legion shouted loudly, and his cavalry guards quickened their speed and slowly separated from the large army.
