Chapter 122: Delaying the Pursuers (2)
"Sinners, go astray." Looking at the approaching trainees, the ascetics who hid in the trees and bushes shouted in unison.
The trainee soldiers were already furious, but when they heard this voice again, they felt great humiliation one by one.
The generals looked at Denton in front of him, as if they were asking him for something.
Denton's eyes looked straight in one direction, and he shouted to the phalanx of six hundred people behind him: "Give them to Ben to find out."
"Yes". The six hundred-man phalanx yelled at Denton in front of him, and then pounced forward in two like tigers descending from the mountain.
Figures emerged from behind the trees and in the bushes, and Denton couldn't help but furrow a little when he saw that there were all old men in white robes.
After all, he was also a general who had fought for most of his life, but he didn't expect to meet an army formed by a group of old people.
Army, this is the definition that Danton has given to ascetics with his instincts for many years.
Mondstadt looked straight ahead, followed by a violent cry, "It's time for them to learn the power of our lord."
"Kill". As soon as the words fell, Mondstadt slew forward.
Looking at Mondstadt and the light of fighting energy on him, Denton couldn't help but be stunned, apprentice warrior?
Before everyone could react, a vast voice came from the left and right: "Kill".
"Kill". The two hundred ascetics were like a tide, and they continued to kill the two hundred squares.
A hint of fighting spirit rose in his fists, and one punch after another hit the trainee warrior's body.
Although these apprentice warriors have been in battle for a long time, the ascetics have been fighting for their lives with tyrannical qi in the land of training, but they are not much inferior. Even on the other hand, it has more combat experience than these trainee fighters. So in this short moment, the ascetics gained the upper hand.
Seeing that the phalanx of 600 apprentice soldiers was about to arrive, Mondstadt shouted at the top of his voice, "Withdraw to the camp."
"Yes". The ascetics pondered in their hearts for a while, and quickly replied. Then he discarded the opponent at hand and hurriedly turned around and ran.
Surrounded by fighting spirit, the pace sped up a few points again.
Since all the ascetics were shuttling through the woods, it was difficult for the trainee warriors to catch up for a while.
Denton felt like he had been tricked, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Chase, they must all be wiped out today."
Eight hundred apprentice warriors hurried to their horses, then turned on their horses and began to gallop through the woods.
......
"Pedal Pedal Tread".
The sound of horses' hooves echoed through the trees, and Mondstadt and the others gritted their teeth and concentrated almost all their fighting energy under their feet, and galloped forward at a rapid pace.
When he saw that the camp was about to appear in front of him, he heard a sound.
"Boom".
The light of the fighting spirit flashed, and a huge tree fell heavily to the ground.
Mondstadt didn't have time to think about the giant tree in front of him, and jumped over.
Seeing that Mondstadt and the others had dodged so easily, Denton couldn't help but feel annoyed, so he clenched the heavy sword in his hand and swung it forward again.
For a moment, the strength of the intermediate warriors was undoubtedly revealed, and the giant tree in front of it was also torn apart under the fighting spirit, making way for the eight hundred trainee warriors.
Before I knew it, I walked into the camp, and I looked ahead and saw no one in sight.
Denton's heart couldn't help but feel a hint of ominousness, and he subconsciously looked at the ground.
Seeing countless dead branches and dead leaves piled up in a thick layer, Danton didn't have time to think about it and shouted at the trainee soldiers behind him with his instinct: "Withdraw."
The eight hundred trainee soldiers couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this military order, and then their eyes were puzzled.
Denton couldn't help but be anxious, and hurriedly shouted: "This is a military order."
"Woohoo Woooo
At this moment, I saw countless sharpened wooden sticks flying over, and the flames on them were burning.
The sticks landed on the ground and the flames spread out and then rapidly expanded.
In an instant, the entire camp turned into a sea of fire, as if Danton and the others were going to be buried here.
Feeling the scorching breath coming from the sea of fire around him, a general couldn't help but shout loudly: "General, what should we do."
"Sweep away the dead leaves under your feet and keep these flames out." Looking at the sea of fire spreading here from all directions, Denton knew that it must be very irrational to rush out at this time.
After all, there are far more flammable materials such as dead branches in front of you than here.
When the trainee soldiers heard this military order, they hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and quickly swept away the dead branches under their feet, and soon a separation zone was swept out.
Seeing that the flames mixed with the smoke were about to billow, the trainee soldiers firmly protected their bodies with their fighting spirit without being commanded, and subconsciously closed their eyes.
Mondstadt stood on a high slope outside the camp and looked at Denton and the others standing in the middle of the camp, and his heart sank.
With the strength of 300 ascetics, it was not a wise choice to go head-to-head with 800 trainee warriors.
Since fire attacks can't be effective, the only thing left to do now is to escape. After all, the leader of those enemies is a mid-level warrior.
Thinking of the blow in the woods, thinking of the big tree that fell to the ground, the already low heart couldn't help but sink a little again.
Turning to look around at the three hundred ascetics behind him, he said to them slowly, "Run, fight and delay while fleeing."
"Since our lord has sent down the divine decree, the Pope must have begun to rush to their aid, as long as the Pope arrives, we will be able to defeat them in one fell swoop." Mondstadt continued to speak to the three hundred ascetics.
Then there was a slight pause, as if to give them some time to react: "But in the meantime we need to save our lives."
"Yes". Three hundred ascetics shouted in unison.
Then he took a quick step and walked quickly down the slope under Mondstadt's lead.
......
Watching the flames in the camp gradually diminish Denton, thought of something and hurriedly opened his eyes. Then he shouted at the 800 trainee soldiers: "It's not good, we have been tricked."
"These refugees are numerous, and they must be slow, so you must follow this river to hunt them down. Do not let them flee to Siegburg, lest they cause great trouble." Denton, after all, was a battle-hardened man, and he could see the meaning almost in the blink of an eye.
All the generals and the eight hundred trainee soldiers were stunned, and then they all reacted and shouted at Denton: "Yes."
As soon as the words fell, he hurriedly turned over his horse and galloped away along the river.
Seeing that everyone's figures were gradually getting farther away, Denton gritted his teeth fiercely, and also turned over and dismounted and chased after him. It's not too late to kill all the fleeing refugees first, and it's not too late to kill the old ones.
Thinking of this, he showed a determined gaze.
