Chapter 282: Rout
Talorhill looked at the faces of the bulls who had fallen to the ground, and it was clear that he was embarrassed by the failure of the bulls' attack. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
He turned his head to look at Arsha next to him, "Arsha, it seems that the matter of breaking through the gate still depends on you." ā
"It's a matter of duty. Arsha replied softly, and then raised the golden scepter in his hand, which was adorned with elaborate ornaments, and a large ruby encrusted with the scepter. More than a dozen eerie runes were carved into the gemstone, flickering in and out, revealing a sense of mystery.
Arsha took two steps forward to the front of the group, and then began to chant an obscure incantation, bursts of magic fluctuations began to converge towards Arsha from all directions, the wind driven by the magic fluctuations blew Arsha's robes and hunted, the ruby on the scepter became brighter and brighter, and the energy fluctuations gathered on it became more and more intense. Finally, Arsha finished preparing the spell in his hand, and a huge flaming fireball condensed in front of Arsha, "Great fire elves, please help us destroy the filthy enemy and make your brilliance ......"
A huge explosion sounded from Arsha's hand, and the huge fireball in her hand exploded directly in her hand, and the power of the explosion completely subverted the power of ordinary people for fireball explosions. If it was a high-level magician from Bracada who came to actually test it, then he would definitely be surprised to find that an ordinary three-ring magic fireball technique actually released the power of a seven-ring spell.
The shockwave of the explosion generated by the entire fireball directly reduced all living beings within a few hundred meters to ashes. The walls of Standwick City also collapsed to varying degrees, and many of the soldiers defending it also died in large numbers. Many more are crushed by the crumbling walls and are in ruins, and it is unknown whether they will survive.
And Arsha and Talohir, who were at the center of the explosion, were directly gone. The Tytaria army that was within the blast range was also affected by the violent explosion, ninety percent of them were killed on the spot, and a few creatures in the area on the edge of the explosion or with strong vitality were lucky enough to escape, but most of them were seriously injured and survived.
Although the frontal wall of Standwick has collapsed into a huge gap, and the city is completely exposed in front of the Titalia army, it can be said that now with a charge from Tarthalian, it can directly rush into Standwick City, and then use the huge numerical advantage to exhaust the last trace of resistance of Standwick, and then completely occupy the place.
Unfortunately, most of the main generals and animal trainers of the Taitalia Middle Route Army were killed in the explosion just now, because of the sudden explosion caused by the commotion of the beast herd, coupled with the lack of animal tamers to appease in time, this caused a large group of beasts that had lost their animal tamers to begin to retreat backwards in panic, and then began to flee backwards.
And because of the coercion of a large group of beasts, the group of beasts that were originally in the rear also began to follow and run backwards, so the collapse of the army began.
The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed in an anthill, and it was nothing for one person to escape, but the chain reaction he triggered was terrifying. Often, the flight of one person can develop into the rout of an entire army. This effect is an avalanche, and if it is not organized in the first place, the consequences are often catastrophic. This is one of the reasons why many armies have Warlords.
This time, the retreat of the Tytalia Middle Route Army is this avalanche-like rout, although many low-level generals in the distance have seen the collapse of the Standwick city wall, and also see the victory that is close at hand, but in the face of the surging rout of the beasts, they can only follow the beast tide and retreat into the distance, wait until these beasts are exhausted and slowly gather these remnants of the army, and then, decide a new leader. As for Standwick City, we'll talk about that next time.
Catherine stood on a remnant watchtower and watched the retreating enemy army in the distance. No one would have thought of the situation of this war, and no one would have thought that the Standwick offensive and defensive battle would end with such a result, which simply refreshed everyone's three views.
However, this result also confirms a famous saying of Bracada, that magic changes the world. Although the irony of this battle is full.
After Kenan rescued Catherine from the rubble, he had been standing silently beside Catherine, at this time, he had nothing to do, and perhaps he was the most relaxed one in the entire battlefield. Because the outcome of this war makes no difference to Kenan, whether it is Erathia or Tytaria, no matter who wins or loses in these two countries, it doesn't matter to him, even if Tytalia wins, their hand will not reach Kenan's territory far away in the Hammondale region. If it weren't for Kennan's personal optimism about Catherine, he wouldn't have changed the spell structure of the opponent's fireball technique just now and changed it to the Earthburst Star.
Catherine watched with a complicated expression as the defenders began to clear the ruins, treat the wounded, clean the battlefield, and repair the walls. Seeing the soldiers busy below, she suddenly turned back to look at Kennan, "Did you do that just now?"
Kenan blinked, then said, "I wish I had done it, but I'm sorry Her Majesty ......" Kenan didn't continue, but the meaning of his words was self-evident.
Catherine had a look of disappointment on her face at this time, and then she sorted out the expression on her face. "Now I'm going to the Kil'gardan Barrier to the north to check on the defenders there, will you come with me?"
Kenan thought for a moment, "I'm sorry Your Majesty, it's been a long time since I left the fiefdom, and I hope to be able to return to the fiefdom to have a look, and to start preparing for a sneak attack on Bracada." ā
Catherine had a look of disappointment on her face when she heard this, "Well, that's fine, then you can go back, and I'll write a letter to General Ryan in the Sheng Carey Guard Tower on my behalf, and he is the guard there." Although, I will also send ravens to deliver letters, but I will intercept them halfway through shooting, so it can be regarded as an extra insurance. ā
Kenan looked at Catherine's handwritten letter, put it in a cylinder, and took it with him, saluted Catherine, and rode off into the distance.
"Your Majesty, why did you let him go?" asked General Christine as he walked over and asked puzzled.
"He's different from us, and I feel like the continent is going to change because of him. Catherine replied as she looked at the distant figure with complicated eyes.
