Chapter 13: Street Fighting
Seeing the army outside the city retreating and encamping in an orderly manner, Richard frowned unconsciously.
Reilly smiled and said, "How is it, do you think this opponent is very troublesome?"
"Anyway, it's you in command, I'm not in a hurry. Richard shrugged his shoulders and said.
"Hehe, then let you see what street fighting is. ”
That night, Reilly divided all the warriors into a hundred squads, and all they had to do was follow the puppet knights and attack their designated targets. Reilly's plan is to turn the Bluewater Oasis into a giant meat grinder for Sarenwell to experience the brutality of street fighting.
Early the next morning, the Iron Triangle Empire's troops lined up in a tight formation outside Oasis City. Urged by the drums of war, they marched in unison and rolled towards Oasis City like a wave.
Rather than relying on the walls of the Blue Water Oasis for defense, Rayleigh used earth magic to hollow out the foundation, and then detonated it when the Imperial army entered the city, killing hundreds of warriors in an instant. The next moment, a large number of bone blades flew out from behind the ruins, killing more than three hundred people.
Enraged, the Imperial army rushed into the city. Sarenwell's face was not very good-looking, but he also felt that this war would end soon, and the next thing to consider was how to pursue and destroy the remnants of the enemy. So, Sarenwell began to think about it, and prepared to send cavalry to surround Richard. Until now, he didn't know that his opponent had changed.
Hundreds of dragonflies hover over the Blue Water Oasis, providing a view for Reilly.
After entering Oasis City, the army of the Iron Triangle Empire was divided into countless trickles by streets and alleys, and Reilly's warriors could always appear at the most opportune time, creating a situation of fighting more and fighting less in the local battlefield.
Although Sarenwell had three times the strength of Reilly, in actual combat, each Imperial warrior had to face four or five enemies. In such a situation, the losses of the Imperial Army were far beyond imagination.
The battle continued into the night, and the sound of killing in Oasis City was always terrifying. Sarenwell stood on the roof of the car, staring at the burning Oasis City. The street fighting was so chaotic that it was far beyond his control, so the prince could only stay in the car and be secretly annoyed.
Suddenly, several fast horses burst out of the night and galloped in front of Sarenwell.
One of the knights at the head turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee, and said tremblingly: "Your Highness, Your Highness! The commander of the legion, General Barry, was unfortunately killed in battle! The enemy also snatched his body!"
"Barry?" Sarenwell's face changed drastically, and he jumped directly from the roof of the car, and said in a deep voice, "What's going on?"
Barry was a trusted confidant of Sarenwell and one of his two captains. This man has a resolute personality and a very delicate thinking, and can not only charge ahead of the charge, but also serve as the commander of a large army. The capital that crisscrossed the enemy formation was that strong fighting spirit as high as level seventeen.
The knight swallowed his spit and said, "Since our army could not attack for a long time, General Barry rushed into the Blue Water Oasis with his personal guards. In the beginning, we were able to eliminate both teams of enemies without any problems. But ......"
Sarenwell grabbed the knight's collar and snapped, "But what!?"
"But, however, a terrible woman suddenly appeared in the city, and General Barry was killed by her!" Speaking of this, the knight's eyes were full of horror: "That woman seemed to come out of the air, and before General Barry could react, she pierced the heart with a sword!"
Sarenwell's face changed: "You mean, that woman killed Barry with one move?!"
Judging by the knight's description, the other party was supposed to be an assassin. However, even if there is a sneak attack, the person who can kill Barry in seconds is at least a powerhouse of the same level.
Richard has a seventeenth-level assassin under him?!
Sarenwell felt the need to strengthen his defenses.
At this time, a general walked up to Sarenwell and said, "Your Highness, our warriors have been fighting for a whole day. Isn't it time to give them a break?"
Salonwell was startled, raised his head and looked at the dark night, the cruel reality finally made him dispel the idea of finishing the battle: "Order, withdraw the army!"
The mournful sound of trumpets echoed in the air, and the Imperial forces withdrew from Oasis City one after another. Looking at the exhausted people, Sarenwell could hardly believe that they were his own warriors, and that there were so many fewer of them than when he went in the morning.
"Your Highness......" A knight ran over, but was about to speak when he was interrupted by Sarenwell.
"Heal the wounded, count the battle damage, and do a good job of defense!
Anyone could tell that Sarenwell was in a bad mood right now, but the knight still stubbornly said, "Master Willis was unfortunately killed in battle, and his body was also snatched by the enemy. ”
"What!?" said Sarenwell, his face was shocked. Willis is a level fourteen archmage and one of the six archmages who accompanied the army this time.
"The other party is a woman with two swords, at least level seventeen!" the knight continued.
Sarenwell knew that the other five archmages could not be expected to enter the city tomorrow to fight. There is such a terrible assassin in the city, who would dare to go in and die?
Watching the Imperial army retreat from the city one after another, Reilly showed a happy expression. Dragonflies spread all over the blue water oasis provide him with a dynamic top-down view. Reilly's watching the mortals below fight like a god in the clouds is mesmerizing.
In this battle, Reilly has unilateral control of information, and he sees the movements of both the enemy and the enemy. As a result, Reilly was able to calmly mobilize his forces to encircle and annihilate a lone enemy while avoiding large enemy forces. From morning to now, the Imperial Army has been playing in a circle, constantly losing blood in the battle of movement.
Richard struggled to push open the door and dragged his heavy body in. Then, Gangde's huge body also squeezed in. He stuck his axe in the ground and sat down next to Richard. Gangde's whole body was covered in blood, and there were several striking scars on his exposed skin, and his heavy armor with amazing defensive power also made several openings, revealing the blood marks underneath. Just looking at these wounds, it is not difficult to imagine the intensity of the battle. Without this heavy armor, Gangde would most likely have been seriously injured and fell to the ground.
Reilly recruits a puppet priest and has him use several healing spells on Gonde. The big man grinned and said, "Let's treat the boss too, and there are many brothers outside waiting for the magic to save their lives." There are a lot of priests on our side, but it's not enough to get them all back. ”
"Really, what would you do if you had to choose between those people and Gonde?" said Reilly to Richard.
Richard was silent. This is a very annoying question.
"Huh. Reilly didn't embarrass him, but changed the subject: "Everyone else is okay, right?" In fact, he already knew that those people were okay, and this question was just to find something to say to Richard.
"It's all right, they're all alive!" Richard said, "and they don't seem to be hurt." ”
Gangde was shocked: "What? Not hurt? Minotaur and Sanshu are not injured?"
Richard sensed the state of the minotaur and the ogre, and affirmed, "Not hurt at all!"
Gangde looked down at the dense wounds on his body, and was speechless for a moment. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "These guys are really cunning!"
