Chapter 3 Back to the Light

"The men of the Seventeenth Legion have been routed?"

Hyde's face changed, then he sank and said, "Tell me the details." ”

"Yes, sir. ”

A steppe shepherd continued: "Just yesterday there was a scattered cavalry detachment retreating from the direction of the Gobi Desert, and we tried to take in some of the soldiers of the Seventeenth Army who had fled, and inquired from them. Ambushing them was a group of heavily armored cavalry, presumably the Crusaders of the Holy Empire. ”

"yes, I see. Hyde waved his hand, his dark blue eyes exuding Ling Ling's cold aura.

"Continue to monitor the situation on the grassland, it's best to find out the whereabouts of that group of people, I need accurate information, find out again!"

"Yes!" the shepherd bowed, and quietly pushed the door open.

Roddy received the news in the afternoon. At that time, he was still at a city gate and repaired equipment with soldiers. And he saw a horseman running from afar, and fell under the gate. By the time Roddy and the others came down, the cavalry had one breath left. With difficulty, he pulled out a piece of parchment from his inner bosom, and he couldn't get up again. Roddy glanced at the rainbow-colored parchment, and his heart sank. Without saying a word, he ran towards the barracks.

As the commander of Ashrider's private army, Hyde had always lived in the army's camp. When he saw Roddy running in a hurry, his heart sank.

"This is a dispatch order issued by the military headquarters to Caron, it seems that the 17th Army was indeed ambushed in the grassland!" Hyde looked complicated. In the morning, he received the news of the grassland secret agent, and Luo Di also knew that Haide's private power was developed by the Ashurade family for more than ten years, and it can be said that every move of the grassland could not escape their ears.

"Not only that, uncle. I've seen this dispatch order from Cuarón before, and this time I even brought it, and it seems that he is asking us for help. Roddy said solemnly.

"Well, I've thought about what you said, but—" Hyde's face changed again. Why didn't he want to send troops? But in the laws of the Alliance: No armed force can be mobilized in any form without a warrant from the military department! Not even a private army! Hyde was annoyed in his heart: "Damn, if the Ashhoude family has been weak in the past two years, and that Fei! has run to the side of the Elders! Otherwise..."

Roddy looked serious and looked at Hyde's complicated expression

"Uncle, we have to fight!"

Luo Di saw that Hyde didn't say anything, and continued: "I know what my uncle thinks, we can't move troops without a warrant from the military department, if we send troops, we will definitely be impeached by the Elders' House in the future, but now the situation is urgent, even if it is to use the magic array to transmit the message back and forth, it will take three days, I have seen Caron's men and horses, most of them are light cavalry, if they really encounter the heavy cavalry of the Holy Empire, they will only have the power to escape, but now the problem is the direction of Caron's rout!"

Our people received the news of the rout of the Seventeenth Army on the edge of the Maoer Gobi, and if they attack the Papami Division, they will definitely be a strange army to bypass the Maoer Gobi. But now that Karon's men and horses have fled, they must retreat from the Mao'er Gobi! Not to mention the Gulanxi steppe behind him, once they retreat to the Kan'er River, the river will become the biggest obstacle to the rout! Then the entire corps will definitely be eaten!

If the military department really blames us, then we, who are closest to the Kan'er River, will definitely become the scapegoats of the military department! Therefore, this battle has to be fought!"

"You're right, but what if the main force of the Seventeenth Army directly breaks through the Maoer Gobi and flees north into the grassland?"

"No, uncle. "Roddy is right:

"First, the original plan of the Seventeenth Army was to enter the Gobi Desert for a sneak attack, so it would definitely rush at any cost, and first of all, the horsepower would be weaker than the ambush side.

Second, after being ambushed, Caron categorically did not dare to move his army forward, the further north he went, the farther away from the Alliance's forces, and when the time came, he was weak, and once he encountered a few more ambushes, he would bury all the soldiers in it! Although it was dangerous behind him, there were still reinforcements from us. The front may be a situation of death, but there is still a glimmer of life behind, and he will definitely retreat!"

Luo Di showed a resolute look, in fact, he still had nothing to say: since the establishment of the alliance, their extremely powerful families have been constantly ostracized. After the disappearance of his adoptive father, the Ashuraides became the first family to be stabbed, and now that the Seventeenth Legion really has something wrong here, the Council of Elders will spare no effort to impeach the entire family.

But he is just an adopted son, and he can't say something about the family......

"You're right, the military department is now in the hands of those little minions, and if something happens, the blame will definitely be placed on our heads. Hyde grimaced, and looked at Roddy again with complicated eyes

"We... Send troops to the aid of the Seventeenth Legion!" said Hyde again, "but only if you are ready. Open the teleportation magic array and pass on the situation here to the military headquarters first!"

"Uncle!" Roddy was overjoyed when he heard Hyde agree, he was the child who grew up in the barracks, and the battlefield was the place he was most familiar with, and the too quiet days here had already rusted his blood!

"Say!"

"I... I want to personally lead the troops to the aid of the Seventeenth Legion!" Roddy's voice almost trembled with excitement.

Hyde looked at the hot-blooded young man in front of him, calmed down for a moment, and said, "Okay, I agree!"

The silence of the prairie had long since been shattered, and the messy hooves of the horses were splashed everywhere, and all that was raised was the detritus of dirt and young grass in its pass. And the knight in silver armor was skillfully shuttling back and forth in this tired cavalry team, and each shuttle, he could bite off a piece of this tired team, turning into a mixture of blood, water and dirt. And those knights who have fallen behind, either shot through the head with bows and arrows, or surrounded by silver knights in groups of several people, with the huge crosssword in their hands, chop into piles of mud!

In the Gobi Desert, when the heavy armored cavalry of the Holy Empire charged over, the big-headed legion commander immediately led people to make a wave of counter-charge! Then his men and horses were like fireflowers cracking in the air, dividing into countless squads and scattering in all directions, so that the awl-like charge behind him suddenly exuded a sense of powerlessness! And the big-headed Caron also slashed left and right, relying on his strong level 40 force, he ran out of the chaos of the people and horses!

Just yesterday, Caron, who ran out of the Gobi Desert, finally gathered some deserters, and the original elite of the 5,000 horsemen now had more than 3,000 people left, which made him feel a pain in his flesh, but who knew that the cavalry of the Holy Empire behind him was like maggots on tarsal bones, and it only took one night to catch up with this group of deserters, and the injured Caron was about to lead the troops to start fleeing!

This time, Caron didn't repeat his old tricks, and quickly ran away with people and horses, his current little soldiers, people are sleepy and horses are tired, and they don't need to be tossed anymore, if they divide their troops and run away, these soldiers under him can only be eaten!

The big-headed Cuaron also looked embarrassed, the leather armor was covered with dark red blood, he covered his left rib with one hand, the blood kept gushing out with the bumps of the horse, the right shoulder armor had long been broken, and the terrible wounds on it had been congealed into blood. He didn't know where his saber had gone, and he had to hold on to the reins to keep his balance.

He doesn't expect to be promoted to a knighthood or anything now. The team that had only been sent out had already reached the Fortress of Bray. If he ran further down the Kar River, the army that was biting him behind would definitely not let go of this opportunity, so he could only wait for death in the Kar River.

In the distance, a sparkling river appeared in front of Caron's eyes, but Caron's originally tired eyes were more desperate at this time, he knew in his heart that if the reinforcements from the Bray Fortress had not arrived, he could only cross the river with a few personal troops by himself, leaving the large army in the rear. Not to mention what kind of punishment they will be punished by the military court after they go back, these broken soldiers in front of them must be dead and alive!

"Damn, if I abandon these people, I'd better die!"

Caron gritted his teeth, grabbed the reins of his horse fiercely, turned his horse's head, raised a saber that he had taken from the cavalry beside him, and said loudly:

"In front is the Qanat River! Behind are the dog mongrels of the Holy Empire! We have no reinforcements! If we flee forward, we will only be slaughtered like dogs!"

Caron looked out into the blue sky, and the eagle circled and let out a terrible cry!

"Turn the horse's head! We are the eagles of the steppe! Even if we die, we will also take down the offal meat of the imperial dogs!"

"Wow!"

Cuaron's shout was like a huge thunderbolt out of thin air! The 3,000 deserters suddenly made a sharp turn in unison, tightened the reins of their horses, and made a sharp turn on the spot! 3,000 sabers were unsheathed in unison! A silver spark shone in the scorching sun! Everyone's deep faces, and a solemn aura rose from the ground in an instant!

The Imperial cavalry, who was originally responsible for harassment, were stunned by these "prey" who suddenly turned around, and at this time, they were greeted by sabers!

"Charge!" Karon shouted, taking the lead, his saber bursting out with a large cloud of silver fighting energy! Instantly cut the Imperial enemy soldiers in front of him in half! Blood spattered in the air!

The large force behind the imperial cavalry also noticed the abnormal movement at this time, and saw that his finger was a little forward, and the flag officer next to him quickly played the flag, and the heavy armored cavalry behind held the spear beside him in his hand! The killer weapon of the heavy cavalry was to rely on its powerful mobility and the two or three meters long giant spear, so that they could break through any phalanx on the plain! Even the light cavalry was not his opponent!

The two groups of cavalry in charge of harassment were completely eaten! They did not stop the pace of the 17th Army Corps! The sound of the rumbling horses' hooves was now uniform! It turned into two tides! The men and horses on both sides were inexplicably unanimous at this time! The rumbling horses' hooves even began to shake the entire grassland!

Caron's cavalry consumed all their bows and arrows, and the silver tide in front of them kept men and horses falling!

Getting closer! Getting closer...

"Boom!!" The two tides finally met together, bursting out with the most dazzling sparks on the grassland!!...

...... And at this time, a group of cavalrymen in black armor finally quietly rushed down from the side!
