"Sir, these werewolves are no longer the simple intelligent creatures we know, they have long since learned to be treacherous, don't forget, they still have those hypocritical elves to assist them!"

Sir Kapru heard this, and slowly withdrew his command sword.

Seeing this, his adjutant turned overjoyed, and then continued: "Their purpose is very clear, that is, they want to defeat us completely on the island of Severis! Calculate the time, I think, the Grand Duke has already crossed the strait at this time, you must get out alive, the Grand Duke still needs you, your honor is not to die here, my sir!"

The adjutant spoke quickly, but the words were clear.

Hearing this, Sir Kapru's face changed and his expression was more serious than ever, and he stared at his lieutenant and said, "You are right, Bird, you are as wise as your father!"

Sir Kapru was about to give the order, his eyes fell on the adjutant in front of him, and then he paused for half a beat, and then the knight took out the command sword at his waist and put it in front of his adjutant, "Command the troops to retreat, I will leave behind the broken back!"

"Sir, this—" Bird was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I'd better break the queen, the Grand Duke still needs your report!"

"This is a military order, Knight Bird!" "This is not where you belong, Bird, your wisdom will be more useful to Lord Duke, and I, this old man who is dying, will be my best belonging!"

"Jazz!"

"Your Excellency!"

The faces of the young knights and nobles around them changed, and their innate honor did not allow them to leave their commander behind and leave the battlefield alone.

If they do, their friends will make fun of them all the time, it will be a stain on their lives, and more importantly, no boss will trust them from now on.

Sir Kapru roared sharply, "Don't you understand? This war has nothing to do with honor, this war is a war that is related to the fate of the human kingdom? Preserving the power of the kingdom is more important than keeping the honor of the nobility!"

However, his subordinates remained unmoved!

Most of these knights and nobles wanted to stay from the bottom of their hearts!

Although Sir Kapru was very pleased with the persistence of his subordinates, the situation at the moment could not be delayed any longer, he looked at his lieutenant and said: "We have no time to waste, Bird, the werewolf army is about to break through our inner defenses, if we don't leave, we won't be able to leave!"

"Moreover, Grand Duke Akke is a wise ruler, I don't think he will blame you!"

He believed that Bird, who had always been sensible, would make the best decision.

Sure enough, he didn't disappoint Kapru.

The young adjutant made his decision after thinking about it for a few seconds.

In the midst of the scout's succession of reports, Bird took the command sword handed to him by Sir Kapru.

Immediately, Bird said in a deep voice: "Everyone, decide for yourself what to do, sometimes there is no shame in running away!"

With that, the young knight solemnly performed the oldest aristocratic rites to Sir Capru, and then turned to the herald who was already waiting, and ordered: "Order, the 3rd and 4th Corps retreat to the coast, and the 5th Corps will make a roundabout way and attack the enemy's advance from the flank..."

After a pause, Bird said with a stern expression: "Tell the officers of the Fifth Corps that they must hold the defensive line with the remnants of the Second Infantry Regiment for two hours, and they can't take a step back without receiving an order, and if they violate it, they will be dealt with by military law!"

The herald stared at the command sword in Bird's hand, and he habitually raised his eyes to Sir Capru, but at this moment Sir Capru had already turned away and walked towards his mount.

When the herald had left, Bird saluted Sir Kapru again in the distance, and then walked away briskly.

With Bird's departure, some nobles and knights followed in Bird's footsteps and walked in the direction of the Third and Fourth Corps.

...

By the time Sir Kapru turned around, there were few nobles and knights left who had followed him, and he was not trying to persuade them to leave, he silently drew his sword, which he had not used for many years.

At this moment, a sea breeze peculiar to early summer blew, blowing a few white strands under Sir Kapru's helmet.

The old sir looked at the white hair shaking in front of him, and he couldn't help but think to himself: It seems that I am really old!

But the sword in his hand is still sharp!

Shaking his head, Sir Kapru dispelled the distractions in his mind, and in his right hand he held the sword that had followed him for many years, and the sword was printed with half of his visibly old face, and he whispered: "Old man, it seems that this is really the most time we have fought side by side!"

"Ladies and gentlemen!" Sir Kapru pointed to the battlefield not far away, "Follow me and charge!"

-----------

"So, you have lost nearly two corps of troops in less than an hour of confrontation with the enemy, and you have abandoned another corps of soldiers in order to retreat?"

On the western coast of the island of Sevis, in the makeshift barracks of the Grand Duke of Acre's army, Bird and a group of knightly nobles knelt in front of the Duke of Acre.

At this time, they had already reported everything that had happened in the battlefield ahead, and this obviously mocking sentence just now was said by a middle-aged nobleman beside Grand Duke Ake.

This was the commander of the only cavalry regiment on the Hoko Islands, Baron Charles.

He usually had a poor relationship with Sir Kapru, and naturally he would not let go of the opportunity to fall into the well at this time.

"So, Sir Capru is dead?" said Archduke was more concerned about the safety of his captain, for Sir Capru was his knight instructor and his teacher.

"Under normal circumstances, there is no chance of survival!" Bird, although his forehead was already covered with cold sweat, still answered truthfully, he knew that in front of this grand duke, it was best not to play tricks.

Grand Duke Ake let out a "grace" and stared at the many young knights and nobles on the lower side.

The Grand Duke was well aware of his teacher's temperament.

In the same way, Sir Kapru knew the temperament of his disciple.

Kapru used his own death to remind Archduke that it was time to retreat, or else a catastrophe awaited him.

"Duke, our plan should be changed, if the combat effectiveness of the werewolf troops is really as Knight Bird said, then our infantry phalanx is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered in front of them!"

Earl Ellie, who had followed the army on the march, whispered.

"What do you think, Sir Erwin!" the Duke asked his Minister of War.

"Retreat, and be quick!" said Sir Erwin succinctly, "if you don't leave, you may not be able to leave!"

"Retreat?" "Retreat?" Jenina, the representative of the Arcane Method, was obviously reluctant to retreat, "Duke Ake, our Arcane Magic Society has traveled thousands of miles to Harvey City, and we are not on vacation, the destruction of the Demon Stone's magic net is devastating, we should eliminate this source as quickly as possible." ”
