Chapter 490

Hassan's voice appeared behind the two high priests like a ghost, and they suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

A cold killing intent struck, the high priest turned his head stiffly, and what caught his eye was a pitch-black light, and then he didn't know anything, and everything in consciousness and emotion disappeared.

After the High Priest and the Pit Viper Knight fell, a dozen black crows appeared one after another behind Hassan, one of whom came to High Priest I vigilantly and turned him over with his weapon.

The High Priest's mask had been shredded by Hassan, revealing a face covered in scars.

Hassan stepped forward to look at it expressionlessly, shook his head lightly and said, "It's not him, it's a stand-in, but his strength is indeed that of the Earth Knight." ”

Moreover, this high priest of the Snake Worship Sect is also a ruthless person, and he actually threw out the few earth-level powerhouses in the Snake Worship Sect as bait.

"My lord, do you want to keep chasing?" asked one of the crows respectfully.

Along the way, they have intercepted and killed a lot of snake worshippers, but there is not a single important person among them, just some low-level sacrifices, and now the earth knight who died at the hands of Hassan is the highest status they have caught.

However, he was killed by Hassan in one fell swoop......

"No, since none of these people have the figure of the high priest, the rest are even more impossible, and it seems that Phil has not figured out the specific departure route of the high priest. Hassan sighed, thinking about it, how could such an important matter be handled by Phil so easily.

Even the route that these ordinary cultists left was probably obtained by Phil at a great price, so it was time to give up after so many days of pursuit, maybe he would have already left the range of the battlefield by this time.

It was a surprise to be able to kill this earth knight, so Hassan planned to retreat temporarily, and now Jason was at a critical moment to attack Phil, and they were really sloppy at this time.

So he turned and beckoned his men to take the Earth Knight's head and leave.

But what he didn't know was that not long after he left, the real High Priest came to this bloody battlefield, and he slowly walked through the battlefield full of stumps, came to the earth knight who had his head cut off, and squatted down gently.

Picked up the mask that had been split in half by Hassan, and stroked it gently, his eyes sad: "Eminem, my dear nephew, I will definitely avenge you, I swear here in the name of the snake god." ”

It turned out that when Hassan killed the earth knight named Eminem, the high priest witnessed the whole process in a hidden place in the distance, although he was not as good as Hassan in terms of combat effectiveness, but he was able to survive the catastrophe of the last snake worship and live for another hundred years, after all, there are some special means.

Although he was extremely sad in his heart, he still did not stand up, because he knew that even if he went out, he would only take his own life.

After a moment of grief in place, the High Priest put away Eminem's mask, broke off one of his fingers and solemnly placed it in his arms, and then hurried away.

After all, he didn't know when Hassan and the others would kill a horseman, you must know that this area is basically roaming around the area of Crows and Jason's men, the purpose is to find out these snake worshippers who are preparing to withdraw to the north.

Before leaving, he also looked in Phil's direction, and roared angrily: "And Phil Lopez, I will definitely let you pay back this account little by little." ”

He wasn't stupid, if it wasn't for Phil to get in the way, how could Jason have learned about their retreat, and even the evacuation route they had drawn up, knowing that they had specifically picked these remote mountain roads away from the main road.

But he was still approached by these crows who had recently wreaked havoc near the battlefield.

On the other side, it didn't take long for Hassan to reach Jason's side, and at this time, the siege battle was already halfway through, and Phil's already crumbling defense of the city wall had already been breached by Jason's army.

After all, it had been so long, and their craftsmen had already made catapults and other siege equipment from the trees and other materials near the site, and Phil's makeshift fortifications could not stop the indiscriminate bombardment of more than a dozen catapults.

Now the battle has entered into fierce and brutal street fighting.

And Phil had already begun to make arrangements for the break, and although he did not want to abandon the fortress, he was still about seven or eight days away from his nearest reinforcement, because the road was so muddy after the rainstorm that it seriously slowed down the army's march.

But looking at the momentum of Jason's offensive, he may not be able to hold out for that long at all, although his more than 50,000 troops cannot be lost so simply in seven days, but the probability of desertion and mutiny seems to be greater.

After all, the defeat in the war for such a long time has caused the dissatisfaction of most soldiers and nobles, and now there is no large-scale protest of the nobles, which can only be said to be due to the effect of Phil's violent suppression.

Otherwise, those nobles who looked like they were separated would have withdrawn from this war with their own troops, but now Phil has given a death order, and if this war can be won, all the nobles involved will be greatly rewarded.

As for those who have malicious intentions and make some small calculations, Phil doesn't need to make it clear, because they have already learned from the past, and those nobles who have the same small calculations as them are either in prison at this time, or their families are already ruined.

"Phil has already begun to retreat, and it seems that we are about to win this war. Jason stood on a mountain peak in the distance and watched the entire battlefield, looking at the retreating army of the Lopez Kingdom, and said softly, and at the same time there was a trace of heartache in his heart.

Is this really the Lopez army that once dominated the north? was actually forced to this extent by the army of the 100,000 Lion Kingdom. Although this is also the reason why most of the kingdom's troops were pinned down by the battlefield of the Morning River in the north, it still reveals that the army of the Lopez Kingdom has gradually begun to decay in just two years.

The most important reason for this is that Phil lacks prestige and cannot suppress those nobles and generals.

"Your Highness, are we going to take advantage of the situation to attack the hinterland of the kingdom and besiege Slovin?" Hassan asked softly.

If the fighting stops here, it will only go so far as to break Phil's bones, and he will still be able to recover after a long time.
