Chapter 180
Caron's death spread like a plague through the small hussars, who were chasing down the soulless and tattered enemies in front of them, and the next second they heard their commander dead, and when they turned back, it was true, the black cloak that was useless but could have emboldened them had fallen like a fallen leaf.

"Karon is dead! Captain Caron is dead!" This voice quickly contributed to the collapse of the morale of this unit, and the sudden regain of my fighting spirit was that they had lost all their fighting spirit, and they only thought about retreating, fleeing back to their large army of the Seventh Army down the mountain.
This little battle was miraculously reversed.
But for the bigger picture, it just leaves me a little breathing room.
As soon as I dragged a black knight who had fled past me and was about to break his neck, the man I had held up in the air with one hand and struggled without stopping, and for a long time he said in a voice full of horror and anticipation, "Emmons?!"
I was stunned, I seemed to have heard this voice somewhere.
I took a closer look at this guy's face, and suddenly remembered that this was Buckley's sworn friend Jill, who was slashed by me and caused me to be kicked out of the base, but wasn't he a bow centurion in the first place, how did he become a cavalryman?
I said, "You're Jill?!"
The guy nodded desperately and pleaded: "I am me, I was sorry for you before, but for the sake of being from a base, you can let me go?"
I said, "How did you become a cavalryman? And what about Pami?"
Pami was the leader of the mountain people under Edgar at the beginning, and he was the squad leader at the beginning.
A flash of panic flashed across Jill's face, and he muttered, "Pa, Pami, he, he's dead......"
Although I had already guessed this result, I still couldn't accept it, and with a slight increase in my hand, Jill's eyes were about to bulge.
"What the hell is going on!" I asked coldly.
Jill struggled in vain to break my hand, but with a hundred times the mech's effort, I could already hear the twisting sound of the transmission wire being stretched extremely hard, how could he possibly break it?
He struggled to squeeze out a few words: "He...... Apostasy ...... To avenge Edgar...... Exterminated...... Burning at the stake of the whole clan ......"
It was as if I saw the remnants of the Pami and the hill people in the base of the Seventh Legion, tied in strings, pushed to the stake, futilely and lonely in the light of the blazing fire, swaying, cursing, wailing......
"Don't say it!" I roared, and the strength in my hand increased slightly, and Jill's head turned from blood red to black and purple in front of me, and then the eyeballs spurted out, and the whole head was like a walnut, which I pinched and exploded, and the red and white things splashed all over my hand.
I let go of Jill's corpse, looked at the Seventh Legion that had surrounded me below, and the sparkling light that had suddenly appeared behind the Seventh Legion, and I said, "Let's go back to the brethren." ”
"Even if I die, I will join them in slaying our enemies cleanly!"
Sergio rode up the hill beside me, looked at it from afar, and after a while, he suddenly said, "Something is wrong!"
I looked up, "What's wrong?"
Sergio hadn't answered yet, and I saw it, and I also ran to the top of the hill, and saw the Seventh Army at the foot of the hill, the formation seemed to be a little unstable, and the more than 3,000 torches that detoured to our side and rear began to retreat in a chaotic manner, and the more than 2,000 torches close to 3,000 in front of us also moved in a little panic, and soon set up a standard defensive formation to accept the 3,000 men in the influx.
The formation continued to grow, and with the contraction and deployment of the main force of the Seventh Legion, the starry torches that appeared behind them also began to move and change rapidly, and it could be vaguely seen that it was actually the appearance of a cavalry wedge-shaped formation.
If you listen closely, you can hear the sound of horses' hooves rolling in the air, like thunder.
"It's a heavy ride!" concluded Sergio with some agitation.
"It's a heavy ride, yes. I took a deep breath of the night air of Mount Uruzdak and felt so comfortable all over my body, "But, whose heavy rider?"
Sergio shrugged.
"Whoever it is, it won't be ours anyway. I nodded, "Probably some Swadian army in the vicinity, who discovered the Seventh Legion below by accident." Let's hurry back and take advantage of this opportunity to retreat! This is an opportunity given to us by God!"
With that, I turned around and ran back the way I came, where there were still my thirty or so cavalry warriors who could still ride horses, and two or three hundred men who were not fighting at all.
This is an opportunity given to us by God, and we must seize it!
As soon as I entered the camp, I saw Kress lying in the canopy of a tree with his crossbow wrapped in bandages, and the bloody battle that had just been so close seemed to tug at the nerves of everyone here.
As soon as he saw that it was me, Kress immediately asked, "How is it?
I ran to the station like a gust of wind and shouted: "The Seventh Legion is pinned down by an unknown cavalry team, and has no strength to control us for the time being, take advantage of this opportunity, let's leave quickly! Inform the team, abandon all baggage, and set off at full speed!"
Kress was stunned, reacted immediately, almost fell off the canopy, and as soon as he hit the ground, he ran back, passing my words back verbatim as he ran.
In less than ten minutes, all the personnel were ready, except for the wounded, all the baggage, including a set of experimental equipment that was said to be Meng Gefei, was all discarded, Meng Gefei was dragged onto the horse by us with a handful of snot and tears, still in pain like a dead lover.
"Everything will be there, go back to our base, everything will be there!" I promise you!" I said to Meng Gefei, "Besides, don't you have all the experimental records and drawings?"
Meng Gefei stopped talking, he fainted directly.
In fact, not all the wounded were brought with them, except for some seriously injured who had gone into shock, almost all the wounded who had broken their hands and feet, as long as they were still conscious, were first ecstatic after hearing the news brought by Kress, and then they all fell into a kind of mournful silence. As I was directing Kress's incapable researchers to carry the wounded into the wagon, I distinctly heard not far away the cavalryman, who had asked for the broken leg to be left behind, whispering to his companions, "Do you hear me? ”
His companion said: "Hear, the general is a good man." ”
He said: "We are all wasted, I have broken my leg, I can't go to the battlefield for the rest of my life, you have broken two arms, and surviving is also the life of the elderly." We are worthless except to slow down our brethren. ”
His companions did not speak.
"I've already decided," he said. In my life, it is worth it to have such a heart-wrenching period and to be able to follow our general. I've lived enough, and I can't afford to stay and hurt my brethren any longer. I'm going to go first, if you spare your lives, you can stay, if you're a gentleman, go with me. ”
His companions looked at each other and nodded in tacit agreement.
He said, "So be it." I'm down there, waiting for you, brothers. Wait to see the one that the general promised us, the real light!"
When I walked up to them, the sixty or seventy wounded men with severed hands and feet had closed their eyes peacefully, and they held hands, and those who had no hands pressed their soles against each other and went on the road together.
I crouched down, the rough palms of the mecha gently straightened their crooked bodies, I looked at their faces one by one, and silently said in my heart, "Brothers, forgive me for not stopping you...... I have received your kindness in Emmons, and I will fulfill your expectations for you...... Your life, I, Emmons, will live for you!"
"I'm not fighting alone!"
