Chapter 258: Gratitude
Sidney stared at Leo deeply, and the resentment in his eyes made Leo shudder. www.biquge.info Without waiting for Leo to react, Sidney retreated, turned around and rushed into the encirclement of the goblins, stabbing countless goblins with a pair of thin swords, and returning to the knights' battle circle with a bloody path.
"Your Excellency, Legionnaire, why are you back again?" The rose knights were immediately excited when they saw Sidney come back, Sidney was like a goddess in their hearts, and now Sidney had risked his life to return to them, which brought indescribable excitement to the rose knights.
"My knights, have you relented?" Sidney asked in a loud voice.
"No!" "My sword is still sharp!"
"Then hold your swords tightly, follow my figure, and we'll kill you!" Sidney swung his twin swords in the air, turned his horse and broke through the way he came.
Although the goblins fought bravely for the spoils of the Rosenkavalier, they could not stop Sidney from entering a desperate state, especially since Sidney had hundreds of Rosenkvaliers behind her to protect her. The sound of horses' hooves rumbling again, the knights who had raised their speed crushed anything that dared to stand in their way like tanks, and the goblins who had been stabbed to the ground by Sidney were crushed like broken pockets.
Seeing the Rose Knight break out of the encirclement and gradually move away, but Leo didn't react at all, Feng Xifan couldn't help but ask, "Young Master, do you just let them go?"
"That's right, Master Feng, we just need to drive them away. If we want to keep these knights, it is estimated that those goblin soldiers will have to lose at least half of them, and it will not do us any good at all. We're only going to be a knife for the people of Lorraine for a while, and I'm not going to do this thankless loss-making deal. Leo said with a smile.
Now the result is already the best, not only to recapture the city of Linz, open the way to the south of the Varu Empire, but also successfully drive the Rose Knights away, fully achieving Leo's intended purpose.
After asking Caraxiu to reassemble the Goblin Legion, Leo led the Holy Army warriors to the town hall. In this battle, the Holy Army soldiers also suffered relatively large damage, just a short time to engage with the Sidney Legion Commander, eight pairs of lovers were stabbed to death by Sidney, these Holy Army soldiers who are extremely loyal to love Once killed, then his lovers will also avenge him, or die together.
If you count the goblins who died under Sidney's sword, Sidney alone caused nearly one-tenth of the casualties to Leo's strength, a result that made Leo smack his tongue and call this woman too cruel.
In front of the city hall, the old mage and the magician and ordinary soldiers looked at the Rose Knights who left in a hurry with some distraction, and just as they were ready to die for their country, the Rose Knights, who had already mastered the complete advantage, suddenly retreated, and they were a little unable to react to this change. When Leo came to the town hall, he saw such a still scene, whether it was a magician or an ordinary soldier, they all looked at the direction of the retreat of the Rose Knights with their mouths open.
"Ahem!" Leo coughed lightly, waking up the stunned mages before continuing to ask, "Ladies and gentlemen, where is the Archon of Linz City?"
"Run!" said the old mage in a low voice.
"What about the garrison?"
"Ran away too?"
"Treasurer?" asked Leo reluctantly.
"Hmph! The shit officials are all gone, and it's just a few of us stationed mages and these soldiers. "The old mage's temper is not too good, and even after the catastrophe, he has not changed the stiff tone of his words.
"Oh, then, please go and welcome your Royal Highness the Fairman and Prince of Lorraine into the city!" Leo realized that it was no wonder that the city of Linz was so easily captured by the Rose Knights, it turned out that all the officials had fled for their lives, and this was an undefended city.
"What?!" The old mage heard Leo's words, and immediately widened his eyes: "You said that His Majesty the King and His Royal Highness the Prince have come to Linz City?"
"Yes, otherwise why do you think those rose knights fled for their lives?" asked Leo rhetorically.
The old mage didn't pay attention to Leo's question, immediately tidied up his clothes, and strode towards the direction of the south city gate, and the magicians and ordinary soldiers also rushed over.
When King Fairman's carriage entered the city of Linz through the open gates, he was shocked by the corpses in the streets. Leo did not arrange for the goblins to clean up the battlefield, but deliberately wanted King Fairman to know how fierce the battle scene was at that time, so that these Lorraines would know to be grateful.
The wide avenue was littered with corpses, blood flowing freely through the cracks in the stone slabs on the ground. The corpses of the goblins were strewn across the road in various strange postures, and there were more than a dozen corpses of Holy Army warriors in front of the city gates, each of these heroic warriors was scarred, and many of them remained in their previous positions, which made King Fairman feel inexplicably sad.
The bodies of the rose knights had been stripped clean, their armor and weapons had been collected by the goblins as trophies, and only the corpses of the white stripes were tossed aside.
"Marquis Leo, who is the best at training soldiers, even the Rose Knights are no match for him. The two princes, Pique and Nick, exclaimed in unison.
"Yes, if Marquis Leo is not here, I'm afraid we will ......" King Fairman's words were not finished, but everyone can guess that if there was no Leo, the royal family of Lorraine would only be reduced to a prisoner. Although King Fairman and Emperor Paris were in-laws and close friends many years ago, all this has disappeared with the rise of the Paris Empire, and it is believed that Emperor Paris will never be merciful to them.
The carriage roamed the streets, and the remnants of the battle along the way shocked all the Lorraineans, and the respect and gratitude for the Marquis of Leo grew.
Leo saved them at the most critical moment in the Kingdom of Lorraine, which was tantamount to a savior for the people of Lorraine, and Leo's image in their minds gradually grew.
With a little trick, Leo succeeded in capturing the admiration of all the people of Lorraine, and it was of great help to him in his future path.
