"The greatest characteristic of the Chaos Kugans is not their brute bravery but their cunning, they are more like wolves and foxes than fierce beasts. The Chaos Norse charge with their overwhelming ferventness to conquer their foes, while the Kugan nomads are more adept at cunning detours and sneak attacks. It should be said that the current performance is what they are doing normally, so our army must be more careful. ”

Loren Sr. interjected into Hyde's conversation with Marshall. The battle-hardened veteran looked at the Chaos Cavalry in the distance and furrowed his thick eyebrows. After getting a general idea of the losses of the troops, his expression became rather heavy.

"In today's battle, our troops suffered very heavy losses, not only were the positions of the Chinese army and the northern flank crushed, but even His Excellency the Wing Commander, His Excellency, was killed in the enemy's sneak attack. Roughly speaking, more than half of the dead and those who escaped in the battle were killed, and only the position on the southern flank was still able to hold on. This is the credit of the brave soldiers of Tubaro! Cicero, you have brought out a very good army!"

Seeing the golden-armored Edgeworth Director riding his horse, the mighty knight of the red-armored blood-swords turned around and bowed his hand to his short old friend. Hyde noticed that his eyes were agitated, and his moustled beard rose and fell violently.

"I haven't forgotten your entrustment, brother, because Tubaro's new army was originally established by my brother and us under the banner of Princess Valkyrie. At that time, our military flag stood like a rock splitting the tide in the torrent of thousands of rat men, and no matter how many years have passed, we will not defile that glorious moment! Although Her Royal Highness the Immortal Princess has been buried in the forests of the Far North, her noble soul and fearless courage will always inspire the hearts of every citizen of Tubaro. The Iron Hand Mercenary Regiment is gone, but the spirit of the Iron Hand lives on!"

The old man in golden armor solemnly raised his sword and gave a solemn military salute to old Loren, and his voice became very excited. Hyde on the side clearly saw that when the golden-armored and long-bearded old man talked about "Her Royal Highness the Immortal Princess", there were shining tears trembling in his sunken eyes, and the hand holding the sword was shaking involuntarily. This made Hyde's heart shrink, and his mother's face appeared and flashed in his mind.

"The battle banner of the Valkyrie Princess! The battle banner guarded by the Iron Hand Oath! I have failed the Iron Hand Oath and failed to protect the Valkyrie Princess, I ......"

Old Loren's voice seemed to grow old in an instant, and his face was full of self-reproach. The invincible warrior of all armies suddenly seemed to become weak, and could scarcely grasp the reins of his horse.

"Grandpa Loren, please don't blame yourself, I understand your heart. But we ......"

Hyde grabbed old Loren's hand, and his heart was so uncomfortable that he didn't know what to say. He remembered the moment when the old Loren pounced on his prancing horse and rushed towards the Chaos Beasts sixteen years ago, and he remembered the tears that the brave knight shed when he knelt beside his mother! The tragedy of sixteen years ago was indescribable pain, but it was not the fault of loyal old Loren.

"Yes, now is not the time to reminisce about the past. Because the best mourning for the dead is the cannon fire of victory. I have often heard about the deeds and benevolence of Princess Valkyrie decades ago, and I would like to express my condolences to you for this. But it is our job to crush the current Chaos enemy army, and I am sure that the Heavenly Spirit of Her Royal Highness the glorious Princess of Natubaro will agree with this. Today, we have lost enough comrades, and we must always be vigilant. ”

Baron Fischer, the deputy commander of the wing, also rode over, his voice calm and heavy, with a hint of sadness. Although the longbowmen and raven knights who fought alongside him suffered few casualties, the eighty longbowmen he left in the central phalanx lost seven or eight out of ten in the devastating collapse, and only a dozen or so survived Andrew's position. Moreover, in a broad sense, the central phalanx is still a part of his responsibility, and the blow of the annihilation of the whole army will not be small for this middle-aged raven knight.

"Our Wing Commander, Lord Hotel, has just been killed by a sneak attack by the Chaos Assassins. Our general, a very powerful natural mage, could have made a breakthrough and promoted to a higher rank. But in the end, he died at the hands of the enemy transformation assassins who emerged from the ground, which also became the direct cause of the collapse of the Chinese army. Therefore, I hope everyone should be vigilant, because the enemy assassins have a special way of hiding their aura. ”

Fischer paused and told everyone about the reason for the collapse of the Chinese army, and he had just found the witnesses at the time, and also had a general understanding of the circumstances of Fischer's death. The cold voice of the high-ranking raven knight struck the hearts of everyone around him, causing everyone to clench their sword hilts.

"The Servants of Chaos and the Dark Spirit Shrine Maiden who attacked me yesterday may be the murderers, and those guys can hide their breath too. But I remember that I had broken the backbone of the Dark Elf and didn't know how they recovered. ”

Hyde questioned Fischer. To be honest, the death of the Wing Commander General also made him very strange, because as far as the situation of yesterday's battle was concerned, he felt that the strength of the dark spirit witch was not very strong.

"First of all, Lord Hortel is a true ranged mage god. He was able to rain the endless wrath of the god Talgu on the heads of human enemies from hundreds of meters away, but at the cost of being too weak to compare to a melee god like you. Secondly, it was the real professional transformation killer who attacked him, not the technical shrine maiden of the Dark Spirit Hedonistic Sect who had no combat power, and the difference in combat power between the two of them was like a heavenly abyss, understand? Mirmidia's favorite boy, you still need to know something!"

A large hand suddenly slapped Hyde's shoulder armor, and the sudden attack surprised Hyde quite a bit. At the same time, a loud voice roared almost into his ear, with an air of emotion and dissatisfaction.

"Master Fred, have you recovered so quickly?"

Marshall cried out in surprise, because the owner of the voice was none other than Fred, the deputy mentor of the Mountain Lion Knights, who had just been wounded to cover Marshall. The heavily armored knight in lion's skin had somehow remounted his horse, and was looking at Hyde with a slightly dissatisfied look, as if he was looking at a schoolboy who was not studying well.

"Do you still think that I should not be restored? Could it be that His Excellency Durlen's years of education are to educate you to be ungrateful? Our Mountain Lion Knights Order has secret healing magic and potions under the glorious blessing of God Emperor Sigma, and the old fox Darlen probably doesn't know this!haha!"

Without hesitation, Fred, the tall knight mentor, slammed his scabbard on Marshall's red-haired head, and the tall and lanky knight was suddenly half shorter. Although he was suddenly attacked, Marshall did not dare to argue, but retreated into the crowd in a gloomy manner.

"Dear Master Fred, Deputy Mentor of the Mountain Lion Knights, your ......"

Hyde was a little dissatisfied, and Fred's unceremonious actions made the strong young man feel that his face had been damaged. But he was a sane man who needed a more appropriate response, but his words stopped abruptly, because a special feeling suddenly seized his heart in an instant.

"Everyone, pay attention to the left! I feel a very strong aura of chaos! right where the mammoth corpse is!"

Hyde let out this urgent cry almost instantly, and his sword slammed out of its sheath and pointed at the corpse-strewn battlefield in the distance.

"What is this? What's hidden in that mammoth's corpse?"

All the knights raised their weapons and looked there with lightning bolts, and many cried out in surprise. They saw an astonishing sight, with the mammoth's corpse at its core, a huge mountain of flesh that began to rise rapidly, with purple electric light and colored wind. Countless Kugan corpses and horse corpses were drawn towards the mountain like iron nails attracted to the huge magnet, forming a strange shape.
