From east to west, Changle hurried all the way, picking up the scattered and plundering Hanhai cavalry, while avoiding large groups of enemies and walking through the wilderness and jungle with all his might, and also ignoring some of the crimes that were taking place against his will.

He can still be a knight who falls from the sky, just like when he first rescued a group of grateful refugees near the Red Hill camp.

But now the overriding priority is to go to the front to contain the defeated army and organize a new resistance. If you entangle with a small number of Hanhai people, it is equivalent to sacrificing your roots, and even if you save some civilians, you will not be able to resettle them.

Only by continuing to advance, resuming the battle as soon as possible, and holding back the enemy's army, can we save more civilians in the areas that have not yet been conquered!

It is ironic enough that now the whole empire is in chaos, the soldiers are retreating, and the only one who rushes to the front line with a sense of mission to protect the land and defend the people is the famous "bandit leader" who is wanted in the whole country.

And behind this "bandit leader", the gray-robed "entourage" with a solemn expression turned out to be Wendy, the fourth princess of the royal family who had been willful and naughty since childhood, and it was even more a miracle that no one could have imagined.

As the two of them hurried at full speed, it was not long before the Hanhai cavalry gradually disappeared from view, and Chang Le saw some intact villages, as well as many farmers who were still farming as usual despite their emotional tension.

When Chang Le asked them about the situation, they in turn anxiously asked about the battle ahead.

After a little surprise, he figured out why.

Hanhai Iron rode the northern route, cutting off the retreat of the imperial army in an arc, and then continued to develop eastward, while the Fisher-Zalan coalition army from the southwest was mainly infantry, and the advance speed was not too fast, so this blank space was left in the middle.

Fisher and Zalan's army were at least "civilized", and even if they occupied this place in two days, they should not be bloodied, and the homes of these peasants were much luckier than their compatriots in the east.

Despite this, in order to prevent accidents, Changle still advised them to pack up their belongings, leave the village with food, and set up a temporary camp in the jungle to escape the war.

In this area, Changle also saw a large number of panicked routs, all of whom had once belonged to Duke Sstanis's army of 200,000, but now they all abandoned their weapons and armor, lest they not run fast enough.

Many of them may not have had armor in the first place, because they were so-called "mobilized soldiers", that is, improvised peasants.

"Run, keep running, and when you meet the Hanhai Iron Rider, you will know that the faster you run, the faster you will die!"

Chang Le did not try to contain these "mobilized soldiers", looking at their expressions, he knew that he was frightened, and now he only wanted to go home and hide, and he lacked training and had no combat effectiveness at all.

What he values and cares about is the 60,000 Guards, especially the Royal Military Academy, his former siblings!

There has been no trace of any officers and soldiers of the Guards in the rout, and the Guards are by no means wrecked and will not run away in embarrassment, this reality makes Chang Le happy, but it also makes him more anxious.

The most terrible thing is that the Guards insisted on resisting in the face of adversity, and were slaughtered with grievances when they could not fully exert their combat effectiveness, if it really happened, Chang Le would not be able to save the innocent soldiers even if he cursed the incompetent Duke Stennis to hell.

Wendy obviously had the same concern, and when she stopped to rest the horse, she finally couldn't help but pull Chang Le's sleeve and cry:

"Powerful Guards, a hundred years of glory, just gone......"

Pretending to cry and sympathize with Bo was Wendy's forte, but this time it was obviously from the heart.

Chang Le no longer avoided suspicion, hugged Wendy tightly, and patted her on the back:

"Even if there are no guards left, you have at least done your best and have a clear conscience. ”

"How can I be ashamed! So many innocent people have been killed, I am a royal princess, I can't protect them, how can I be ashamed!"

Chang Le only sighed:

"I hope your dad thinks the same way. ”

Wendy cried for a while, and suddenly looked up:

"I'll sacrifice myself to the King of Hanhai in exchange for his promise not to kill civilians, okay?"

Chang Le's heart shook violently, staring at Wendy's blue eyes full of tears:

"No wonder you never fail to cast light magic, your belief in light, this self-sacrificing heart, is far better than those hypocrites!

"Don't say these useless things!" Wendy completely refused to praise it, and asked sharply, "I can do this way, do you say it will work?, I just want to use my status as a noble princess in exchange for an order from the King of Hanhai!"

"No way!"

"Why?"

"Because I don't agree!"

Wendy was stunned, stared at Chang Le's eyes seriously, and only spoke after a long time, her voice was soft and soft, and she asked again:

"Why?"

Chang Le couldn't answer, so he hugged her into his arms again and hugged her tightly.

This is a kind of hug for fear of losing the other person, which does not need words, and strength alone is enough to explain.

Wendy stopped talking, wrapped her arms around Chang Le's back, and her hot little hands moved and caressed him. And the little girl's chest, which is far plumper and softer than before, is also close to him.

She didn't speak either, but the slightly trembling gasps and pounding heart clearly proved her emotions at the moment.

After a long time, Wendy asked softly:

"Big brother, I've always felt ...... You like me, you tell me the truth, am I being amorous?"

Chang Le was still silent, with a thousand thoughts in his heart, and he didn't know where to start.

Finally, he silently lifted Wendy's soft hat and kissed her lightly on the forehead.

The little girl waited for a while and didn't see the follow-up, and couldn't help but remind:

"You can go down a little ......"

So Chang Le really went down and found the blue and blue spring-like eyes, and kissed him gently.

The little girl's long eyelashes blinked between Chang Le's lips and grinned:

"Further down!"

At this time, Chang Le suddenly took a few steps back, broke free from Wendy's embrace, and got back on his horse:

"Your Royal Highness, it is important to save your people!"

Of course, this matter mattered, and Wendy had no words to refute, so she could only pout, snort, jumped into the saddle with her skill, and threw a sentence fiercely:

"Big-tongued monster! Hypocrite! Obviously wants to kiss me, and pretends to be a precipice, bah! Do you love to kiss or not, I'm not rare!"

"You're only fifteen!" Chang Le finished speaking, shouting in his mouth, and took the lead in urging the horse to gallop.

"What 'only' fifteen, I'll be sixteen after my birthday tomorrow!"

"Sixteen is also a child. ”

"Ouch, excuse me, how old are you?"

In this way, Wendy, who is about to turn sixteen, chases after the eighteen-year-old Chang Le and starts a new round of fighting.

This section of the road is relatively peaceful, and under the slanting sunset, young boys and girls walk side by side, which is also very romantic.

But not long after, while Wendy was still chattering, Chang Le suddenly flew up, grabbed her, rolled down into the nearby grass, and then waved his hand, and put both horses into the beast soul space.

"You're too sudden!" Wendy's little face turned red, angry and ashamed, "I don't give anyone any mental preparation!"

Chang Le raised his finger and signaled silence.

Soon, two lines of cavalry rumbled in, marching in formation on both sides of the road not far away.

A few more people rode to the vicinity and looked around:

"I was dazzled when I saw a figure just now?"

"Definitely dazzled. ”

After several horsemen left, Wendy pouted and spat out two words:

"Nasty!"

After realizing that she had misunderstood Chang Le's intentions, the little girl's face turned even redder, and then changed the topic:

"Is this the Hanhai Cavalry?"

Chang Le shook his head:

"It's obviously the coalition avant-garde, and there will definitely be a large force behind. ”

Sure enough, soon an astonishing number of troops appeared, rising from the higher ground, winding along the main road, heavy cavalry and heavy infantry walking in the middle of the road, iron armor "rattling", light infantry extended to the land and fields on both sides, the whole army lined up in more than a dozen columns, the momentum was magnificent.

Chang Le finally witnessed the appearance of the Fisher-Zaran coalition army, which was quite well-equipped, even the light infantry had leather armor and iron helmets, which were not the same as the "mobilized soldiers" under the command of Duke Stennis.

"It's like a soldier!" Wendy exclaimed, "and those Hanhai cavalry are like bandits!"

"Then what am I like as a real bandit?" Chang Le asked with a smile.

"Like a big-tongued monster!"

Wendy laughed and stuck out her tongue, Chang Le grabbed it with her hand, but she opened her mouth to bite his finger and "giggled" and laughed.

"Shhhhh......h ”

"I don't look at it, fighting is a man's business!"

Having said that, Wendy restrained her smile and looked at the enemy army seriously.

It took almost more than an hour for the enemy's main force to pass through, leaving some sparse rearguards and baggage convoys.

Chang Le took out his pocket watch to look at the time, and there were words in his mouth.

"What are you reading?" Wendy was curious.

"Arithmetic, of course! What about you? Have you counted the enemy's forces?"

"Count, a million!"

"Get out!"

Chang Le laughed and scolded, sat up from the grass, dusted off the dirt and broken leaves on his body, and reported his statistics:

"Eighty thousand infantry and five thousand cavalry, including fifteen thousand hoplites, if I guess correctly, there are the same number of troops left behind, searching for the remnants of the enemy and stabilizing the occupied area. ”

"Uh-huh, the general has a point. Her Royal Highness nodded vigorously, "How should our army attack?"

"Our army should shut your mouth!"

Chang Le smiled and summoned the horses, helped the little girl to get on the horse, and the two slowed down and cautiously approached the place where the border battle took place.

As long as the elite Royal Guard is not dead, there will inevitably be organized resistance remaining.

According to Chang Le's estimates, this kind of resistance will either rely on the castles of the local nobles, or retreat into the mountains to fight, and those who are more slippery like thin monkeys will most likely choose the latter.

The strength of the coalition army was at least 150,000 or more, and now only more than 80,000 people continued to move forward, indicating that the rear was very unstable, and Changle had more expectations for the current situation of the rest of the Guards.

There were hills and mountains ahead, castles, and villages with basic defenses, all of which he wanted to see.

Soon Changle found out that the Fisher-Zaran coalition army had indeed left a lot of troops behind and swept through the countryside.

But what they did made Chang Le almost can't believe his eyes!

Until he saw that scene, Chang Le still thought that the coalition army was a regular soldier, different from the bandit-born Hanhai Iron Cavalry, and would not burn too much.

Yet he saw with his own eyes that a village was being slaughtered, not to mention the killing of men, the humiliation of women, the looting of property, and so on.

They are even more ruthless than the Hanhai people! The Hanhai cavalry is cruel to men, and they will even treat women as trophies of war and snatch them home like wealth.

The coalition army is a man who does not leave a living mouth, the man kills directly, the woman is humiliated and then killed, and the killing is humiliated!

Chang Le arrived a little late, the village's wooden walls and other defensive facilities were on fire, and many coalition soldiers moved the corpses of villagers and threw them into the fire, and the smell of burning came to his face.

Other soldiers searched the village from house to house, carrying all kinds of chests and cabinets outside the house, and the contents poured out and piled up all over the floor, and the soldiers looked greedy, picking up valuable items by the light of the fire.

There was also a group of soldiers giggling and insulting women.

The naked bodies of several women were stained with blood, and their heads were weakly tilted to one side, like dolls, and they were at their mercy, twisted into all kinds of strange postures, receiving the violent impact, but without the slightest cry, I am afraid that they are no longer alive.

Wendy trembled, her body went limp, and she didn't fall down thanks to Chang Le's support.

She choked up and asked:

"Can you kill these robbers?"

Chang Le nodded silently, helped Wendy sit down in a safe corner, and jumped out by himself.

"Save time and don't get entangled with enemy soldiers" is just a big principle, and seeing such a scene, Chang Le will never forgive himself if he lets these beasts go again.

Moreover, these are light infantry, and they don't have time to line up, they are far better to deal with than the Hanhai Iron Cavalry, once Chang Le makes a move, they don't even have a chance to escape.

At this moment, Chang Le was like a hellish god possessed, the sword in his hand was wrapped in thunder and lightning, and it was like burning with the fire of revenge, it was not an illusion, but he used the natural power of the war spirit level!

Dealing with a group of soldiers didn't have to be so sharp, but this was not enough to vent the hatred in his heart!

Of course, no sword and shield can block Chang Le's blow, and Leng Sensen's sword blade swung away with a roar, not only cutting off the human body, but also wanting to split the soul in two!

After a group of soldiers were killed, the rest of the people began to scream and flee, Chang Le was like a ghost possessed, constantly flashing behind each murderer, roaring:

"Repent!"

Then he swung his sword and slashed at the half.

Cut off the waist instead of beheading, just because Chang Le wanted to give them a little time, before they died, in the painful struggle and crawling, they had the opportunity to repent of their sins.

Only one person was not killed, and that was the commander of this group of soldiers, a minor nobleman with the title of knight.

Changle pulls the so-called "nobleman" in front of Wendy, kicks him over, and makes him confess to the Imperial Princess why he slaughtered the commoners of Havilland.

The man, on the other hand, was calm, and probably knew that he was going to die, but laughed:

"This is the battle of heavenly punishment! The coalition forces punish sinners on behalf of the gods!"

"Bullshit, what qualifications do you have to claim to be the representative of God?"

"Because...... The Haviland royal family illegally usurped the throne, brutally annexed, usurped the throne, and colluded with the Cayenne people......"

This knight reported more than a dozen crimes in one breath, except for the first two that were quite reliable, the rest were all "crimes of wanting to add".

Accusations like "collusion with the Cayenne people" can be called "omnipotent", and Bruno III used this charge to crusade against Crown Prince Payne, and now the coalition forces are using the same excuse to protect the crown prince's return.

However, Chang Le gradually understood that this time was not just a "crusade", let alone to restore the Payne Kingdom, but a decisive battle that left no room for improvement, and the Starr Alliance was determined to completely destroy the Haviland Empire!

So they describe Havilland as a depraved place ruled by demons, not only to destroy the royal family and nobles, but also to spare the lives of civilians.

After the destruction of all the inhabitants, the rule of Havilland was secured, and there was no longer any force loyal to the old royal family.

What's even more sensational is that most of the land of the Havilland Empire has been sold, divided and crossed out on the map, and sold to wealthy commoners in Fisher and Zalan at a high price.

These "new aristocrats" were unarmed at all, and brought a group of relatives and friends to act as "lords", of course, fearing that the local population would revolt, so they simply killed them all, and left the poor people of their country who were desperate for a way out to fill the agricultural vacancies, so as to ensure that there would be no future trouble.

Even this kind of "pre-sale of enemy land" has been done, no wonder the coalition army is so well-funded, so well-equipped, and the soldiers are so vicious!

And the high-level of the Havilland Empire is not vigilant about this, and it can be regarded as extremely mediocre!

"What a battle of heavenly punishment!"

Chang Le's teeth were almost crushed, and a sword pierced into the belly of the "knight",

"If the evildoer ends up like you, it is the real heavenly punishment!"
