Chapter 21: The Battle Report That Leaves People Speechless
Croft immediately crouched on his horse's back, lying extremely low, dodging the skeletal archer's fatal blow. Xiao Qi saw the target's posture and was stunned, because the helmet was covered, it didn't know how to shoot him for a while.
Paul, who was standing on the other side, struck the head of the old general's horse, and the yellow horse neighed and fell to the ground, throwing Croft several meters away, and he couldn't get up in pain.
Xiao Qi glanced at Paul, and understood some principles of battle in his soul, it is not necessary to shoot the target directly, and it is also a way to stop the target. Almost at the same time, the arrows of the two sharpshooters flew towards Croft, and the location of the hit was the gap between his helmet and his breastplate, which was less than two centimeters, exposing the back of his neck for a small part.
Croft breathed, he didn't expect that with five thousand soldiers, he almost didn't enter the viscount's fiefdom, and the whole army would be wiped out, and he would be in a different place.
Xiao Qi and Paul did not hesitate, holding their bows and arrows to aim at the next target, the deputy commander of the Angry Waves Legion.
Ramsden was ecstatic, Croft fled with his deputy commander, the enemy lost command and morale, the soldiers of the Angry Waves Legion had no intention of fighting, and became a plate of scattered sand, no matter how strong their individual combat strength was, it could not play any role at this time, and gradually drowned out in the tide of civilians.
Ponny City is in the bag right away!
Ramsden and his lieutenants were all planning how to celebrate the final victory, but a small team in their own legion, the movement was so strange, it was the team that had broken through the enemy's line just now, they still maintained an intact formation, everyone was fighting brightly, but unfortunately this time, the direction of rushing was the leaders.
"I order you to stop!" the Warseer led a dozen men, intent on stopping the team from advancing.
The squad turned a deaf ear to the Warlord's orders, and it was evident that it was only at this moment that Ramsden realized that this unit did not belong to them, did not belong to the Legion of Light, and that they had come to fish in troubled waters.
Rossetti and Godwin stood at the front of the team, two third-level warriors holding shields, fiercely ramming everything in the air, the outlaw team and the stormtroopers of the Maple Leaf Guardian Regiment combined, rushing towards the commander of the Legion of Light at high speed, their own soldiers, could not stop at all.
"All the warriors, surround them!" Ramsden was afraid of the opponent's combat strength, and hurriedly gave an order, he thought to himself that no matter how strong the squad was, it was only a few dozen people, and his own men, at least more than 2,000 people, were tired to death.
However, tonight, there is always an accident coming, the north and south gates of Penny City, there is a roar that resounded through the sky, the unified roar with the spirit of killing, it sounded shocking, the soldiers of the Legion of Light, their movements were sluggish, they felt panicked, they felt helpless, they felt a big net of death opened, no matter what, they couldn't escape.
Fifteen hundred mercenaries, under the leadership of Commander Grant, poured in from the city gate and surrounded the Legion of Light, a loud voice sounded, and the mercenary group issued a final warning: "The guerrilla mercenary group is ordered by the emperor to eliminate the traitors, and those who resist will be killed, I order you to disarm and surrender!"
Ramsden was blinded, stupid, his intelligence told himself that this mercenary group was attacking the clay city, fighting with the regular army of the Marquis of Isaac, how did he get here in the blink of an eye?
The shield flashed from both sides, Lilian walked out from behind Rossetti, she looked at the legion commander who was stunned with contempt, where is their current appearance, where is a "general", similar to a nerd, the bronze thin sword was raised, Lillian pointed at Ramsden and said: "This person, tie up, the others, kill!"
According to Brian's meaning, all civilians can be blamed in the past, but the leader who starts the war must be captured alive or executed.
Pemba had already killed all the magicians, and was waiting in the sky when he heard Lillian's voice, and quickly flew down into a metal rope that wrapped around Ramsden and bound him firmly.
Ramsden planted from his horse, suddenly revealed his true nature, and shouted loudly: "I am from the refuge farm, Haussman is my uncle, Master Dunbar is my friend, you can't kill me, spare your life, spare your life!"
Lillian laughed, stepped forward and kicked Ramsden in the head, just enough force to make him unconscious, and then the bronze sword slashed lightly, instantly killing the two nearest deputy commanders, several other leaders, and the recalcitrant personal soldiers, all of whom were killed by the outlaw squad, and the whole war came to an end.
The remaining more than 2,000 civilians barely resisted, and when they encountered the real army, they realized that fighting with farm tools was simply nonsense, and countless people surrendered.
Five days later, Emperor Alik received a report from the far south, and he was amazed at the fact that the report was so impeccable in its content that it really left him speechless.
The report was written in the tone of the head of the guerrilla mercenary regiment, with letters from the Marquis of Isaac and Viscount Brian attached. Grant described: "The crusade against the Southern Fiefdom is now over, and both sides have suffered heavy casualties, but this is a misunderstanding!"
"Under the leadership of the old general Croft, the Angry Waves Legion united with the guerrilla mercenary regiment to launch a fierce attack on the two fiefdoms, and it was about to achieve victory, but Viscount Brian attacked the logistics team of the Angry Waves Legion, resulting in a lack of supplies, Croft had no choice but to retreat, and even slaughtered the city in Ponny City to grab food, causing public indignation, the Free and Equal Alliance took the opportunity to incite the people, led eight thousand soldiers to attack the small city, the old general was besieged, and the city lord Finn risked his life to break through and go to our army to report. ”
"Our army was forced to abandon the original battle plan, galloped to the city of Ponny, and rescued the Angry Waves Legion, but the thieves were strong, and 1,500 people were killed in the battle, but they were still unable to capture the city. Fortunately, the Marquis and the Viscount, both hated the Alliance of Freedom and Equality, and took the initiative to send troops to help and break the city in one fell swoop, but General Croft was killed in battle, and the Angry Waves Legion was already killed. ”
"With the joint efforts of the three parties, the civilian rebellion caused by the Alliance of Freedom and Equality was quelled, all the bandits were wiped out, the leader of the thieves was killed, the leader of the alliance was captured, and he was about to be escorted to the City of the Sacred Heart for the trial of the Emperor himself. From this point of view, Marquis Isaac and Viscount Brian are all loyal to the emperor, and it is impossible for them to have anything to do with the Alliance of Freedom and Equality. ”
"Our army is exhausted with many casualties, and the remaining five hundred soldiers are resting in the city of Penny, while the defenders of the city of Penny are exhausted, and I ask the emperor that the guerrilla regiments shall be temporarily stationed in the city to act as defenders, in case the Alliance of Liberties and Equality will revolt again. ”
Alik read it three times, couldn't find any problems, and then looked at the letters of the marquis and viscount, between the lines were all loyal to it, and couldn't make up his mind for a while, he touched his gray beard and was pondering, the young princess smiled coquettishly and threw herself into the emperor's arms, Alik touched the princess's smooth and bare back, put the battle report aside and said: "Then let's do it first."
