428 Courage and glory
Duke Otto was hesitating on his side, and Robert, the commander of the second legion of the Lion Army, also persuaded: "Lord Duke, the Lion Army is the foundation of our Duchy of Berry, and this battle cannot be fought like this again." ”
Fleck and Robert are veterans who have been fighting with Duke Otto for nearly twenty years, and it is they who have followed Duke Otto to to build today's lion army. For such huge casualties, they have long been heartbroken, and now that the strategic plan has completely failed, retreat is the best option.
"We can retreat, but what about the Guards and the First Imperial Legion, Princess Gina is still waiting for our support, so what?"
Duke Otto said in a heavy tone, the direct retreat of the Lion Army is equivalent to selling the Imperial Army, of course, intellectually speaking, the Lion Army made this decision out of necessity, but many times people do not look at the objective situation, but your subjective behavior.
"The Guards can break out with us, and as for Princess Jina, I believe that as a princess, the Hans Empire will not embarrass her too much. ”
Count Fleck replied, but he didn't say it very confidently.
"If the Guards don't arrive, we don't have this chance to break through. And Fleck, even if we have broken through, if there is no support from the Empire because of this matter, do you think the Duchy of Berry can really survive the double attack of the Barbarians and the Hans Empire?"
Faced with Duke Otto's rhetorical question, Count Fleck suddenly didn't know how to answer, because Duke Otto said the European truth. The reason why the French Empire was so jealous of Duke Otto, but still gave the Lion Army weapons and equipment, was because they needed to defend the northern border of the Empire.
The same is true, no matter what the lion army thinks, without the support and strength of the French Empire, relying on a single Duchy of Berry, in the face of the attack of the barbarians and the Hans Empire, there is basically no hope of resistance, which is the absolute gap between strength and the number of troops.
The Francois Empire and the Duchy of Berry coexisted in symbiosis, and neither side could give up the other until they had absolute strength. Now Duke Otto can walk away, but what he will face next is also a catastrophe.
More importantly, Duke Otto, as the imperial god of war, has never given up on the move of his allies to flee alone! The reason why Otto can have such a high reputation in the French Empire and can obtain the title of the god of war is that he "does not abandon, does not give up!"
He is not like other lords, who treat the lives of soldiers as a number that can be consumed at will. As long as Duke Otto is here, he will definitely bring back every soldier, instead of letting his soldiers become cannon fodder to die!
"Fleck, Robt, we lions have no tradition of running away, and I, Otto, have no precedent for abandoning friendly forces. The lion army can die on the battlefield, but we can't give up our courage and glory!"
When Duke Otto said this, Fleck and Robert did not say anything more, but a strange excitement appeared on their faces. Because they saw the face of a lion when they were young in Duke Otto, this is their spiritual pillar, as long as the imperial army god is there, then the lion army is invincible!
"Loyalty, courage, glory!"
Count Fleck put his right fist on his left chest and hammered the plate armor on his chest hard!
"Loyalty, courage, glory!"
Captain Robt did the same, courage and glory have always been symbols of the Otto family and the Lion Army, and loyalty is the promise of their subordinates to Duke Otto.
Almost instantly, Fleck and the others gathered their warriors, and at the same time, Duke Otto also sat on his war horse and shouted: "Lion Army, prepare for battle!"
The soldiers of the Lion Army, who were still exhausted, instantly cheered up when they heard this slogan, because they knew that this slogan was shouted by Duke Otto, and Duke Otto's voice was the source of their strength in battle.
"Lion Army!"
All the warriors roared, and this cry resounded through the sky, shaking the whole earth. When they heard this shout, all the barbarian cavalry were shocked in their hearts, as old opponents, they were too familiar with this slogan, this is the slogan of the attack of the lion army.
The previous high-level barbarians were all ready to take advantage of the night, and the lion army would break through and escape. As a result, it was a slogan of the Lion Army, which means that the Lion Army is about to attack!
"Great Khan, the lion army has begun to assemble, they are ready to attack. ”
A front-line cavalryman rode up to Ujili Khan and told him the news.
Hearing this message, he already knew it from the slogan, but his face still showed an expression of appreciation and admiration and said: "It is worthy of Duke Otto, what a fierce lion." Tell the order to get ready for the last battle with the Lion Army!"
"Courage and Glory"
Count Fleck shouted again, and then led the cavalry and charged towards the barbarian camp.
"Courage and glory!"
This time it was the soldiers of the Lion Army who shouted, and this was the symbol in their hearts.
The Guards Legion, whose main force was still on the periphery, also became fanatical as if they had been stimulated after hearing the slogans of the Lion Army, and even many of them chanted slogans of courage and glory, and their faces were full of expressions of adoration.
Seeing this scene, the expression on the face of Marquis Barton, the commander of the Guards Corps, was very complicated, and it was indeed Duke Otto, the imperial military god, who launched an attack so quickly. At the same time, he didn't expect that Duke Otto's influence could trigger such a fierce response from the Guards, which may be the reason why Emperor Fran was jealous.
"Ready, the Guards have also attacked, and this battle will decide the fate of the French Empire. ”
After the Marquis of Patton said helplessly, he also mounted his war horse and led the French Guards cavalry to attack the barbarian cavalry, which will determine the final victor tonight, and even the national fortune of the French Empire.
Just when they chose to fight to the death, on the grassland not far from them, there was an army of 10,000 people with neat appearance, which was rapidly advancing in the direction of the battlefield. Judging from the direction they came, it was a large army from the territory of the French Empire.
At the front of this army, there is a golden lion flag, but it is different from the lion flag of Duke Otto, the lion of this lion flag also has a crescent moon on it, and the leader at the front is Duke's genius big brother Baker!
