The Duke of Aceh asked Joseph to stay, but Joseph had no choice but to stay in Heathvoy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info But even in the worst-case scenario, Reims' strategic map shows the route of the retreat. Joseph also began to prepare for the worst-case scenario.

But to Joseph's surprise, the Duke of Aceh's next offensive was like an armed walk. No resistance was encountered. They drove all the way in, leaving only burned villages and demon troops without a trace.

The Duke of Aceh was in a good mood all the way, and ordered the army to speed up and reach the border between the demons and Idires as soon as possible - Menice.

Originally, the road of more than 200 kilometers, Aceh led the cavalry troops all the way, and in just two days, they were the first to reach the former border town of Ménice, but now it is also in ruins.

The Duke of Aceh asked the accompanying priests to worship the goddess of justice, Flobelga, in Menice to comfort the gods. The recovery of Ménice also symbolized the recovery of the whole territory of Idiris. The Duke of Aceh was naturally high-spirited and proud at this time.

As he sat on a mound beside the ruins of the town of Ménice, looking out at the dark forests that loomed in the fog to the south, he remembered his old dream. Conquer the coastal peninsula where the demons are located, restore the demons' last base in the continent of Veniante, and restore the former glory of mankind.

The Coast Mountains had been lost from the hands of the Coastal Dwarves for more than 800 years, and then the Holy Emperor Javier briefly recovered this land that had been eroded by demons for more than 100 years. However, with the internal friction of the Normanland Empire and the continuous conquest of the country, the national power gradually declined. And the demons seized the opportunity to cross the Craig Sea to the north once, captured the Coast Mountains, and rebuilt the Metuk Demon Domain. This marked the beginning of the invasion of the human kingdoms that lasted for more than 600 years.

Now that he had defeated them, the Duke of Aceh naturally came up with the idea that if he could recover the coastal peninsula, wouldn't it be a great feat that would cover a thousand years?

But just then, the messenger ran over and handed a letter to the Duke of Aceh. The Duke of Aceh saw that the fire paint was the emblem of the wolf's tooth hammer, which was the emblem of the Valrotto family, and it seemed that it should be Joseph's letter.

The Duke of Aceh opened the letter, in which he first congratulated the Duke of Aceh on his victory and the restoration of the whole territory, and then apologized, saying that he had made a mistake in judgment. In the end, he repeated the same old tune, asking the Duke of Aceh to rest and recuperate, and re-establish camps, outposts and defensive lines on the border, and when reinforcements arrived and the army was fully in place, he was planning a southern expedition.

The Duke of Aceh also glanced at his battle map, and also felt that he seemed to be rushing faster, he was now completely alone, and he could be cut off at any time.

Although Joseph did not mention Lance at all, the Duke of Aceh still guessed that Joseph must have followed Lance's plan. However, the Duke of Aceh decided to pretend not to know. Then it was decided to leave a part of the cavalry in Menise. Then he led his troops to prepare for the north, and first joined up with his infantry corps.

Just as Aceh was about to return north, suddenly news came from the sentinel that the demons had a 2,000-strong Metu cavalry force out of the dark forest and headed for Menice.

At this time, Count Gavin immediately said: "Lord Duke, there are only 2,000 people, and we have 5,000 elite cavalry, including 500 star knights, why don't we wipe out this demon army and return north? I think it will take less than an hour to solve the battle." ”

The Duke of Aceh looked to the north, hesitating and begging.

Count Gavin said, "Lord Duke, don't worry, the demons have already been defeated by us, even if we attack the Coast Mountains at this time, what is the difficulty? Not to mention that this is only an army organized by the Metu people. ”

The Duke of Aceh thought for a moment, then said, "Okay, attack immediately!"

So the Duke of Aceh gave an order, and the army immediately left Ménice. Towards the border of the Dark Forest.

When the demon clan's Metatu army saw the 5,000 cavalry surging with thunderous momentum, they immediately panicked, and immediately abandoned their armor before the battle began, and fled on horseback.

When Duke Aceh saw it, he sneered: "A traitor is a traitor, and he will never become a warrior." Kill me!"

The cavalry then pursued the defeated Metu cavalry. However, the Metu discarded their armor and weapons as they retreated. This makes their horses run faster. And the heavily armed Idris cavalry, especially the Star Knights, who even had heavily armored horses, could not keep up with these defeated soldiers.

They chased them into the dark forest, and after chasing for more than ten miles, the Duke of Aceh stopped the army.

Count Gavin rode over and asked, "Lord Duke, why didn't you chase after you?"

Aceh said: "These men are running like rabbits, and we have now entered the dark forest, which is not conducive to the deployment of cavalry, so let's go back north and join the infantry legion." ”

But just as the Duke of Aceh was about to return north, suddenly countless arrows "swished" from the forests on both sides of the road, as if stabbing a hornet's nest. Suddenly, the cavalry and horses let out screams and neighs one after another, and one by one they fell to the ground.

"We've been ambushed! Retreat!

At this time, the Duke of Aceh realized that this cavalry of the Metu people was just a bait to lure the enemy deeper.

But it was too late, and the merciless arrows tore through the dreary and oppressive air, depriving the battle-hardened cavalrymen of their lives without mercy.

These former warriors, under such a dense dark arrow, became like lambs ambushed by wolves for a while, panicked, no matter which direction they fled, they would die in the middle. The throat, the heart, the lungs, the liver, the cavalry died in all sorts of different ways, but they all had the same expression - horror.

At this moment, death is the main theme, and survival seems a bit of a dream.

The Duke of Aceh also lost his soul for a while, but the Star Knight Big Nose George was unusually calm. Before leaving Clay City, George was entrusted by Princess Eve to protect the Duke of Aceh. So Knight George knew he couldn't panic.

So George raised the iron shield in his hand, and the prancing horse came to the side of the Duke of Aceh and shouted, "Lord Duke, kill me quickly!"

Seeing that Duke Aceh didn't react for a while, George had to dismount himself, then jumped onto Duke Aceh's horse, and then rushed out with Duke Aceh, who was already six gods and no owner.

Along the way, the "big nose" George knight protected the Duke of Aceh, and since the Duke of Aceh sat in front of him, he said that George almost used his body to block the arrows fired by the Duke of Aceh.

Although George with the big nose was hit by several arrows, he did not say a word, but shouted, "Ride!" and urged the horses to flee north.

At this moment, behind the Duke of Aceh, there was only the continuous screams and wails, like the leaves blown off by the wind in autumn.

The big-nosed George knew that death was standing behind him. (To be continued.) )
