Chapter 32: A Pyrrhic Victory
In order to kill Pande quickly, Andrea attacked desperately, regardless of the consequences of attrition.
At this time, he felt that the power of his war spear was getting smaller and smaller, and the strength of the other party was getting stronger and stronger, and his body actually felt empty.
If Pande was alone at this time, this situation would not be a big problem for Andrea, because he consumed too much, and Pande was suppressed by him and tried his best to defend no less than him.
But the problem is that Pande is not alone now, and there is a Barron by his side, and it just so happens that this Barron is still alive and energetic at this time.
This led to Andrea's eventual tragedy.
When Andrea wanted to block with a war spear, but was forced by Barron to knock down the war spear in his hand with much greater strength than him, and then pierced the heart by Baron's two-handed sword, he had only one thought in his heart: "Damn Sham, if only I waited for him to come with me!"
"Sure enough, it was him. Pande couldn't help but say as he walked up to the dead Andrea and removed the veil from his face.
"Who is it?" Barron didn't recognize the man in front of him.
"'Silver Wolf' Andrea, the captain of the second cavalry squadron of the Golden Lion Battalion, a private soldier in the Earldom of Harold, is a well-known junior knight powerhouse in the northern part of the entire Nader Kingdom. "Pande obviously knows a lot about the strong men of Harold's family.
"Then this cavalry squadron is indeed the soldiers of the Golden Lion Battalion, then it must be Harold who sent someone to attack us. ”
"So far, that's the case. ”
"Golden Lion Battalion, one day I will make him a Dead Lion Battalion!"
............
............
The battle was almost over after Andrea's death, and after the big head was settled, the rest of the matter was much simpler, and when Barron and Pande took Andrea's head and began to support the convoy members, the remaining enemy cavalry no longer saw the scene of the frenzied attack just now, but scattered as if something terrible had happened.
In fact, the cavalry of the Golden Lion Battalion suffered more than 60% casualties, plus the leader Andrea was killed in battle, and even the only two squad leaders who could preside over the situation and were only below Andrea died in the hands of Barron.
In such a situation, the enemy's army collapsed, and it can already be called elite.
Except for a few cavalry who were stubborn and wanted to resist to the end, most of the cavalry of the Golden Lion Battalion began to disperse, and the few cavalry that resisted couldn't make any waves at all, and were directly solved by Barron and Pande.
Even Barron, in order to prevent the enemy from fleeing, regrouped in the distance, so he continued to pursue the stragglers who wanted to gather together until they were completely dispersed.
And Pan De began to gather the members of his own escort team, simply clean the battlefield, check those who were seriously injured and not dead, if it was his own people, he would quickly bandage and treat, if it was the enemy's cavalry, then he was giving him a knife to help him solve the pain.
In addition to treating the wounded, Pan De and the others' biggest job is to identify them one by one among the nearly 100 corpses, pick out the bodies of their own team members who died in battle, and try to find all his bodies if they encounter incomplete corpses.
Then each corpse was cleaned lightly to make them look less hideous, and they were laid aside one by one.
When Barron came back from driving the rout and wanted to celebrate the victory with Pande and the others, he found that Pande and the others had already cleaned up the battlefield and were waiting for him to return.
But there was no trace of triumphant joy on the faces of Pande and the others, only a dead silence.
Looking at the chatting people in front of him, and looking at the corpses of the guards neatly arranged on the ground, Barron's joy at victory just now couldn't help but fade away, and slowly turned into silence. He knew that although they had won, it would definitely be a bad victory!
Originally, there were 34 escorts who set off with Barron and Pande, but now only 9 people are alive on 2 stretchers, and everyone is not lightly injured.
Barron jumped off his horse and walked over to the side of the dead convoy, looking at the familiar faces and trying to make a note of their appearances.
Although Barron and they had only been together for less than 2 months, the training in the Ending City had made Barron completely familiar with them, but now they could no longer get up and train with Barron.
Benjamin, Baroff, Robu, Jack, etc., everyone remembered their names, but they all had to lie quietly there now. Barron couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the last two.
Baker and Adam!
"I heard from others that the two of them just faced several times the enemy together, and they never flinched, and in the end, Baker blocked the enemy's shot for Adam, but unfortunately Adam was not able to hold out until we were backing up. It was Pande who walked over to Barron and said to him.
Barron didn't expect that the two of them would fight side by side to the end, he still remembered that Baker was very dissatisfied with Adam at the beginning, and when he chatted with Baker, the most he heard was that Baker complained about Adam's various things, and now he would actually help Adam and pay with his life.
And Baker is the second person who Barron came to this world to be kind to him, even if he is so verbose and annoying, but Baker is the only one in the escort team who took the initiative to help him, and he didn't expect that the two people who were good to him were actually buried in this Char grassland, one after the other, but one was buried in the wolves, and the other died at the hands of humans.
"The deceased is gone, don't be sad, I got used to this situation more than ten years ago, and you will get used to it after all. When Pande said this, Barron couldn't see his expression.
But he knew that before he didn't appear, Adam had always been Pande's deputy, except that he didn't have the title of deputy captain, he could almost be called the deputy captain of the real escort, but now he was dying here, and Pande's heart was not as simple as he said.
"Don't worry, I'm not that vulnerable. "In his previous life, Barron may not have been able to face death, but since crossing into this world, Barron has seen too much death, whether it is an enemy, a friend, or a stranger.
It may be too early for Barron to make death a habit, but at least not to make a fuss about it.
"I hope so!" Pande didn't know if Barron really didn't care.
"Let's go collect some hay or something as soon as we can, and cremate them all. Pande said this with a blank expression.
