Chapter 548: Suspicion
"You are clearly communiquing personal vendettas!" Leo on the side really couldn't hold back, and stood up and refuted righteously: "The centaur army is quite a distance away from the fortress, and those pursuing centaurs only have a few hundred horsemen, can it still have any impact on the city gate? You are obviously just looking for an excuse so you will not save yourself!"
When everyone on the side heard this, they all realized that it was obvious that Dick Gus couldn't afford to lose and didn't want those cavalry to enter the city. For a while www.biquge.info many generals urged and even scolded Dick Gus, but Dick Gus had an impartial and selfless face, insisting on thinking about the fortress for the sake of the fortress and the empire, and did not back down despite the scolding of everyone.
"What are you delaying?archers?Shoot the centaurs!" In the midst of the chaos, at the command of Prince Grantham, groups of archers rushed up the walls of the fortress and fired at the centaur soldiers beneath the fortress.
I don't know if the arrows shot from the fortress drove the centaurs away, or if the centaurs had already completed their mission and retreated on their own, anyway, in the rain of arrows, the centaur soldiers turned around and fled.
After the enemy had fled and the archers had stopped firing their arrows, the crowd, led by Prince Grantham and Leo, had come to the city gate to check on the Eight Banners cavalry. When the commander of the Dick Gus Legion ordered someone to open the city gate, the scene that greeted everyone's eyes made everyone gasp involuntarily.
I saw that only ten meters away from the city gate, dozens of Eight Banner disciples fell down, and within a radius of dozens of meters where they were already covered by countless fir arrows, densely packed like a dense woodland, with almost no place to stand.
"Bastard!" Leo roared, raising his hand and grabbing Dick Gus by the collar, punching him in the face.
Leo's punch was filled with infinite anger and remorse, deep down in his heart, he had never cared about those Eight Banners disciples, and even had a faint sense of rejection towards them, so when the Eight Banners Legion fell into the encirclement of the centaurs, Leo did not take the two-legged wyvern to help them, but watched the battle from a distance with the people of the Holy Griffin Empire.
But Leo never imagined that these Eight Banners would be so brave and strong, whether it was their all-out breakthrough, or Fu Lehui's self-sacrifice, and even until they were on the verge of the city, they still used to shoot back to the enemy, until they were shot alive by the enemy.
Leo's eyes were already red, he didn't just hate Dick Gus, he hated his own indecision, he hated his own indecision, he hated his own death, he hated his little belly, and his own actions were no different from Dick Gus.
With a bang, Dick Gus was punched out by Leo without any reaction, Leo's eyes were red like a mad bull, his eyes were as wide as brass bells, and his nostrils were constantly bubbling roughly. Fortunately, even if the anger was surging, Leo still left a sense of proportion, and this punch did not bring internal force, otherwise the current Dick Gus would not have been able to get up again.
"Leo, calm down, calm down!" Prince Grantham hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Leo tightly with both hands, and shouted loudly to calm Leo down, and the rest of the generals and officers at all levels gathered around, either to help persuade and comfort Leo, or to inquire about the situation of Captain Dick Gus.
Even if Leo didn't use his internal strength, his full punch would be enough for Dick Gus. Commander Dick Gus, who had been punched in the face, had already passed out and had to be carried back to the fortress by a few officers.
In the distance, Garo Twindden seemed to sense the chaos in front of the Human Fortress, and he immediately led a team of centaurs towards the Dawning Fortress. The observation post on the fortress detected the movement of the centaur army in time and hurriedly warned the people under the city. At the critical moment, they couldn't care so much, so Prince Grantham and others forcibly brought Leo back to the fortress.
When Garo Twindden arrived in front of the fortress, he found that the fortress was ready for battle, and the strength of the centaur army alone could not break through the heavy tortoise shell. In desperation, Garo Twindden could only walk away.
After this toss, Leo slowly calmed down. At this point, it was useless for him to be unrelenting, and Dick Gus was the commander of the Silver Legion, and he couldn't do anything with him when the great war was approaching. If I really kill him, I'm afraid it will make even bigger waves.
Besides, the reason why Leo resents Dick Gus so much is more because of his own shame and remorse. In the bottom of Leo's heart, he could only silently apologize to the Eight Banners and swear to kill all the centaurs to avenge the Eight Banners!
Leo chose not to pursue it for the sake of the Human Alliance, but Captain Dick Gus has never been a big-hearted person, and this time he was humiliated by Leo and even knocked out by a punch, which was a great shame for Dick Gus, who was pretentious and had always loved his reputation, and it could even be said that he was a bitter hate.
The inferiority of human beings is like this, even when surrounded by strong enemies and life and death, it is still difficult to unite in unison. There are always those who are narrow-minded and selfish, and who will ignore the whole big picture because of some small things. Even if you sell everyone, you have to achieve your own goals, this kind of person is not uncommon in ancient history, and in the Holy Griffin Empire, it is not difficult to say that such a situation will not occur.
The orcs don't look at the many races, but under the unified belief of the beast gods, they are much more united than humans. Although there are various and even irreconcilable contradictions between the various races, no race dares to jump out and explode before the holy war called by the beast god himself, and they all have the common goal of exterminating the human race, breaking the blockade of the orcs, and seizing the anointed land in the middle of the continent.
Garo Twind, who had returned from the Dawning Fortress with his people, was overjoyed and surprised to see that the human cavalry who had died in battle had left behind a lot of equipment that was precious to the Orc Empire, especially their swords and longbows, which were a great addition to the Centaurs. And those slightly torn armor, although centaurs are not needed, are very precious to those wolves and dogs, which are not much different from human sizes.
But the death of thousands of clansmen in the battle made Garo Twindle unhappy for a while, the birth rate of the centaur clan is not high, and the loss of so many clansmen at one time may be difficult to recover within a few years.
