Speaking of which, this was not the first time Alfred had been beaten by Vikings and fled in disarray - in fact, 99 percent of his early war career was chased by "damned Vikings". Although such a technique has not been practiced for a while. But it doesn't seem to be too rusty, and it can still be played.

So, under the cover of night, Alfred took the lead and rushed forward to freedom.

At this moment, Alfred also thought for a moment: "York City was just burned down a few days ago, and it will definitely not be able to recover in such a short time. There is no food and no reinforcements outside. If you flee back, you can only wait for death......

But Alfred was still reluctant. More than 50,000 troops, Alfred thought to himself, even if the other party could capture some and escape some - if he stayed in York, he would be able to gather another 10,000 or 20,000 men.

Only, with these horses alone, these armies that had just been abused by the Vikings, could they hold the city of York?

Alfred really didn't dare take any chances. In the end, he gritted his teeth. The decision was made to abandon the city of York.

Under the cover of night, Alfred and the dozens of guards around him were like lost dogs, like fish that slipped through the net. Hurried and panicked and went straight to London......

The coalition won a great victory, and the crowd rejoiced. The warriors generously took out all the spoils. Pour a whole barrel of ale directly into the pit and then jump in to take a bath. Big bags of flour are taken out and made into a snowman. They slaughtered a large number of cattle and horses, and demolished the city of York and burned it for firewood...... In short, how to play how to scourge and how to play how to lose. In an instant, Egil's brutality rose again, earning a brutal conqueror's caste, personal safety -1, brutality +2.

But that's not the point. The point is that the coalition forces were victorious this time - and the coalition forces themselves lost only more than 5,000 men. The main strength is still there. The English, according to rough estimates, had nearly 10,000 dead, and more than 30,000 surrendered or taken prisoner. There are more than 10,000 people who are more fortunate and slip away from the welt. But it doesn't matter, after this war, the whole of England will definitely not be able to assemble an army that can fight against the coalition forces. So......

"Win, win, win,......," said Egil, laughing, as he smashed open a barrel of wine and poured it over his head. Speaking of which, at least seventy percent of the current virtue of the coalition army is due to the bad head of the boss himself.

"But that Alfred isn't dead yet. After asking the captives, it can also be judged that this guy escaped safely...... You're so happy right now, is it really okay?", the system elf asked.

"It's okay -- I sent Carter out the other day. ”

"Well, nominally a land operation, a little wasteful in the words of the navy. At the same time, you want to transport some loot back to Norway - in fact, you want to take the water route and raid London?" the system elf also reacted, and asked.

"Barely gives you a score of normal IQ. Egil didn't know whether to praise or lose, and said: "After taking England, if nothing else, the Scottish side should be faster...... The United Kingdom of Ireland-Wales, on the other hand, is a little more troublesome...... Fighting in the mountains and jungles or something, you have to think of some other way to do it......"

At this moment, England has not yet started, and Egil has already started yy.

"Scotland, what's going on over there in Scotland?" the system elf asked.

"Although, I got along pretty well with William Wallace...... But it's better if this person is dead. Egil sneered and said.

"Oh?"

At the same time, just as the Coalition had won a great victory over England, Scotland suffered an equally tragic fate in the northern part of the British Isles.

Having mobilized five thousand troops into the country, plus a few other patchwork troops, Kenneth I suddenly found that there was not much left of his own people. No matter how you make it up, those with high and low shoulders, long and short legs, and mouse hands (?) don't seem to have much combat effectiveness.

So, Kenneth I was very reluctant to take this army and march towards the mountains of western Scotland.

Later, on the 31st of August, Kenneth I met Edward Dawzuo, Duke of Black. Neither scout knew for what reason and did not find the other. This led directly to this encounter that neither side expected.

And after that, the heads of the scouts on both sides were chopped off.

England was in the vanguard of a group of dozens of mounted sergeants - these cavalrymen in leather armor and spears were barely combative. At least slightly stronger than the Horse Militia and the Hobila Ranger - however, its reflexes are slightly worse. Seeing that a few avatar-like beings with messy blue stripes on their faces suddenly came out of the grass opposite. Several of the cavalrymen were stunned for a moment - and then they were chopped off with an axe. However, it was also obvious that the highland axe soldiers on the opposite side were a little out of control. Originally, he wanted to go up and cut the waist of the cavalry, but it turned out to be cut on the thigh. Then the cavalryman hissed in pain, but his hand was not slow - the spear stabbed straight over, right in the chest.

Perhaps, the fate of the two soldiers in the first round of the two battles also foreshadowed the final outcome of the two armies - after that, the mounted sergeants took a little difficulty to knock over the small pile of highland axe and shield soldiers. I didn't have many people left. However, take advantage of this moment. Commanders on both sides reflected.

Edward, the Black Duke, made a quick decision and withdrew to a nearby hill with more than a thousand longbowmen under his command. And the rest of the cavalry group, half of which also moved to the top of the mountain, and the other half divided into small groups, and it is not known where they ran.

Immediately afterwards, Kenneth, who was one star below Alfred's dominance, led the Scottish army and launched a charge against the mountains defended by the English.

The Scots have lived in the Scottish Highlands all their lives, although they have crossed the mountains, although they have walked on the ground. But it's pretty much the same. The speed of climbing the mountains was noticeably faster than Edward IV had imagined.

However, it still didn't work.

The Black Duke roamed France, and with his longbowmen, he beat the French knights to smithereens—and the cavalry was much faster than the infantry anyway. But it didn't work.

Scotland's few Highland archers were simply not enough to fight, and the range, speed of fire, and accuracy were thrown several streets away by the English longbowmen.

However, Kenneth I also had an estimate in mind. The Scottish hill people are fierce and fierce. Extremely strong in melee. As long as you can rush to the mountains and start hand-to-hand combat, then you will definitely win.

However, the wish is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. When the Scots managed to storm the hill, Edward IV's brutality rating of six came into play. Immediately afterwards, the English cavalry charged. The Scots ran down with their armor thrown off their armor. The Scotsman made seven consecutive charges in the space of one morning, which was a pretty good result...... In total, he touched the top of the mountain five times. Later, he was driven down by the counter-charge of the English cavalry. The remaining two were only halfway up the hill before being shot to slag by the English longbowmen. The Scottish army, which had a very low armor rate, had little resistance in the face of the English longbowmen, and was shot like scum.

And at this moment, seeing that the enemy did not even have the strength to rush up. Edward IV decisively chose to fight back. The cavalry, who had fled in advance, was summoned by the loud shouts of slaughter and rushed out of their hiding place. Cooperate with the charge of Edward IV's cavalry from above.

Dressed in pure black armor and a smock, the Black Duke took the lead, waving his long sword again and again, showing extremely clever swordsmanship and riding skills. At the same time, the brutality value of up to six points also helped. The Scots, who had long been tired like dead dogs, suddenly suffered such an impact. It collapsed all at once. Kenneth I was not like Alfred. It's a dead eye. Seeing this situation, this scene slipped out of the way. Instead, they shouted and wanted to get the Scots back together. And after that......

After that, there was no after, Kenneth I was beheaded by Edward IV, and the 5,000 Scottish army was wiped out. Immediately afterwards, Edward IV led his army and attacked in the direction of Edinburgh.

Later, the death of Kenneth I and the defeat of Alfred the Great reached the commanders of both sides at about the same time. Seeing William Wallace's stunned look. Egil sighed in his heart, "Sure enough." The final outcome of the battle between the two armies was something Egil had expected before. Now England has suffered a heavy setback, losing more than half of its territory. It would be best if Scotland ever slumped again......

The next day, Egil led the entire Scottish army, left the coalition and returned to Scotland. Before leaving, Egil privately hinted that Wallace "could take his place" and that if necessary, "the Norwegian and dwarven coalitions would not hesitate to support him with force." Wallace was silent. He didn't agree, but he didn't object.

At the same time, after receiving the news, Edward IV stroked his palms and sighed: "Why is that old immortal not dead? "At this moment, the Black Duke has no intention of staying in the poor countryside of Scotland. In his eyes, the throne of England was beckoning to him. Of course, if he wants that thing, he definitely doesn't have enough troops now. So......

"Perhaps, it's time for me to change my allies. Edward IV thought as he thought so, and then laughter spread like a night owl......
