On the morning of June 27, 782, the main forces of the Far Eastern rebel army and the demon suppression army met under the city of Tran. In order to avoid the embarrassment of fighting on both sides, Duke Rose took the initiative to withdraw the demon troops besieging the Tran Fortress on all sides, and the whole army retreated five miles. The reinforcements arrived unhindered to Tran, and the black sea of people seemed to be about to overwhelm the entire fortress.

A simple ceremony was held in the fields around the South Gate of the City. The countless military trumpets and gongs and drums sounded in unison, and the stirring music echoed in the field, inspiring people. Then, the troops and horses entered the city in order, and they were in good order. Zichuan Xiu greeted the generals of the reinforcement corps at the gate of the original Demon Governor's Mansion. The Second Army arrived at Tran with many generals of the Far Eastern Army. They were Commander Buson of the First Legion, Commander of the Second Legion, Shirakawa, Deputy Commander Bran, Chief of Staff of the Second Legion, Monroe, and others. Shikawa shook hands with the generals of various ethnic groups and welcomed their arrival.

In the governor's palace of the Tran Fortress, the senior generals of the Far Eastern Legion held urgent consultations. The atmosphere of the meeting was somewhat eerie. Outside the city, the corpses of the demon soldiers are overwhelming, and inside the city, they are also shocking: on the long streets, the white sheets are endless, covering the corpses of the coalition soldiers who died in the battle yesterday. On the various positions, there are still many corpses that have not yet been cleaned up, and the city and the steps are stained with blood, exuding a strong smell of blood. The wounded were scattered in their houses and cared for by the Far Easterners of the city, their painful moans and terrible roars.

Many people in the Second Army speculated that due to the sluggishness of the Shirakawa Army, the King of Light fought alone for two days and fell into a very dangerous situation. Failure to rescue the Lord will be in danger, which is a very serious crime. Some people guess that a few heads will fall to the ground today. The officers of the Second Army were nervous and did not dare to speak out for fear of attracting attention.

Zichuan Xiu briefly reported on yesterday's battle: "The 6th Cavalry Regiment in the Far East suffered 1,331 casualties, the 7th Cavalry Regiment suffered 1,485 casualties, the 1st Brigade of the Xiuzi Battalion suffered 1,313 casualties, and the 2nd Brigade of the Xiuzi Battalion suffered 2,577 casualties, and the total casualty ratio was 65 percent. In addition, the Zoe officer Deming was killed in battle, the commander of the Xiuzi Battalion, Duke Xiaoqi, was killed in battle, and the following 113 officers of all levels were killed. ”

Shikawa smiled and looked around the table at the generals. Under his gaze, the generals twisted their butts uneasily in their seats, their hearts pounding. During the three days that Shirokawa Shu was besieged, Shirakawa was in full charge of the command of the rebel army. She first made a review, explaining to Shikawa Xiu the reason for the late arrival - the bridge across the river had been washed out, the troops had to take a detour, and because of the sudden rainstorm, the roads in the jungle area were muddy and difficult to navigate, and despite the best efforts of the commanders at all levels, they could not reach the battlefield in time for the twenty-six rì.

"In the case of unfamiliar terrain, in order to save time, the command chose mountain trails, but did not take into account the heavy rains, and it turned out that the roads and bridges were washed out, and the troops had to turn back, and in the end it took a longer time - the officers of all ranks had done their best. Overall, the responsibility is on me. ”

Shirakawa earnestly pleaded guilty, and when she spoke, no one dared to speak out, and the generals observed Zichuan Xiu's face with trepidation, for fear that thunder and anger would fall from the sky.

The King of Light listened attentively, "Is it because of the rain?" and his reaction was to smile and say, "Is that so?" ”

"One more thing. Zi Chuanxiu tapped lightly on the ornate marble table and asked, "Where is the First Army?" According to the original order, Roger will be responsible for encircling Tran from the east side, and he should have joined our army a day ago. ”

"We can't get in touch with Roger right now, but according to the news from a day ago, his troops are making a roundabout journey to the cities of Yalu, Nasu, and Proga, and if nothing else, last night should-"

"Well, what's going on? Whose order?"

"My command. -- The original plan was made for the siege of the Tran Fortress, but now that the castle is in the hands of our army, there is no point in continuing the original plan. In the name of my lordship, I sent an order to Roger to seize the city of Alou and cut off the rear of the Rus' army. My lord, I'm good at making claims, and I'm willing to take responsibility—"

"Got it. Zichuan Xiu interrupted her lightly, lowered her head and took notes, Shirakawa was quite embarrassed to hang there, but he didn't have a chance to say an apology. She smiled wryly and sat down on her own. The generals breathed a sigh of relief: the expected storm had passed like this? Seeing that there were so many of His Highness of Light, the worried generals finally settled down, and they were amazed by the magnificence of the King of Light, and in the private words of the half-orc Bran, "Our king is really easy to get along with!"

The other generals of the Second Army continued to report, and they told Shichuan Xiu: In the past three days, the Second Army has sent a number of detachments as suspicious troops, respectively from the northwest and southwest sides of Tran to contact the outposts of the Demon Clan, doubting the Demon Army, creating the illusion that the rebel army brigade is approaching Tran from all directions. By the time they finished reporting, Zichuan Xiu had basically grasped the situation: the front of the demon army was the Tran Fortress, which was the Shirakawa Legion and the base camp, while the Roger Legion was responsible for outflanking the rear of the demon army on the flank. Shirakawa's intentions are very obvious, she hopes to form an encirclement of the main force of the demon clan under Tran City.

Zi Chuanxiu pondered for a long time and frowned: "Although we have taken the Tran Fortress, we still don't have enough strength to carry out a comprehensive encirclement and annihilation of the 170,000 demon army. Once the demons face encirclement, in order to survive, they will jump over the wall in a hurry, and will concentrate their forces in a certain area to kill a fish and die in a net, at that time it will be easy to break through our weak encirclement, and we will also lack a large number of reserve troops to counterattack and fill the loopholes, at that time we will face the danger of being divided and fall into passivity. ”

The generals all agreed: "Indeed, the demon soldiers who are cornered will burst out with terrifying combat effectiveness, and even if we can destroy them, we will pay great casualties, which is a disastrous victory." ”

Bran, the deputy commander of the Second Army, asked aloud: "What are we going to do?"

Zi Chuanxiu shrugged his shoulders: "Don't worry, the commander of the Demon Army is not a fool and will not watch us complete the encirclement." Let's see how he copes, we will respond to all changes with the same. The order was given to all the troops to rest and recuperate. ”

The meeting was very brief, the generals dispersed one after another, Zi Chuanxiu was the last to go out, and a female voice by the door called him: "My lord." ”

Zi Chuan Xiu turned his head and smiled: "Bai Chuan? ”

Bai Chuan approached and was about to kneel down on his knees, but Zi Chuan Xiu hurriedly supported her: "What are you doing here?"

"My lord, I'm very sorry, I ......"

Shikawa said gently, "That's not your fault. The difference between force majeure and dereliction of duty delay is not so discerning to me. I don't blame you, and you shouldn't be too yourself. ”

"But what about Duke and Deming, and what about the soldiers who died yesterday, and can they forgive me?"

Shirokawa sighed: "Shirakawa, people always die when they fight—even if they don't fight, people always have to die." In troubled times, life is as cheap as grass, and they are just one step ahead. One day, you and I will also embark on this path, so why should you bother yourself?"

"My lord," Shirakawa looked up at Shirokawa Xiu, and the girl's clear eyes seemed to have some kind of insightful magic: "You really don't blame me? At the most difficult moment of being besieged, reinforcements were delayed, and you didn't doubt me at all......?

Zichuan Xiu smiled bitterly and honestly admitted: "What you said, I did think about it. ”

"That?"

"I just thought about it. Zichuan Xiu smiled: "I still believe in you, Shirakawa." ”

For a moment, Shirakawa wanted to cry. The anxiety and sleepless torment, the anxiety about Zichuan Xiu's situation, the fear of the upcoming suspicion and doubt, and the terrible pressure of bearing the fate of tens of millions of people, she withstood this qiē, Zichuan Xiu's sincere "I believe in you", but she almost shed tears.

"Do you remember, sir? ”

"It's in the village of Bru in the province of Wag, right? At that time, I was hunted by demons, wanted by the Zichuan family, and cornered—I always remember. ”

"From then to now, my loyalty to adults has not changed in the slightest. But I always feel that you have changed a lot compared to that time......" Shirakawa hesitated at a loss for words. Since the last time Zichuan Xiu came back from dìdū, his whole person has been covered with a layer of fog, cruel, cold, and incomprehensible, which makes her very confused: Is this person really the Zichuan Xiu who gives people a sunny and warm feeling?

Zichuan Xiu laughed out loud: "Am I becoming more handsome?"

Bai Chuan didn't smile: "My lord, you have changed a lot since you came back from dìdū at the beginning of the year. You've become- we can't see through it anymore. I beg your pardon, my lord, what happened in dìdū?"

After Bai Chuan finished speaking in one breath, Zi Chuan Xiu was still laughing: "Bai Chuan, do you think I suddenly became too ruthless?"

Shirakawa replied with his eyes.

"Fate is actually very fair, if I sit in the position of the King of Light, I will inevitably lose a lot of things. Ruthlessness and cruelty are all the virtues of a king. The road to power is so cruel - will you continue to follow me?"

Bai Chuan opened his mouth, but Zi Chuan Xiu made a gesture to interrupt her: "I took this path voluntarily, and I don't want to find any excuse for this, saying that I am forced to sink into darkness by a good society-and it is not that the old dove is forced to be a prostitute, where is there so much nonsense." But your hands are still clean, with the zìyóu of exit. ”

"Your Excellency, you haven't answered my question yet?"

"There's nothing to answer. If you don't like my style, you can quit at any time - and Roger and Mingyu too. You have followed me for so many years, I have prepared a pension for you, if you don't live to be two hundred years old, the rest of your life should be enough to spend, you can enjoy that life at ease, without war and blood, and you don't have to worry about the family's wanted warrant, I will be responsible for redressing your grievances, let alone ......" Zi Chuanxiu suddenly stopped, he looked at the tears rolling down Bai Chuan's eyes in surprise.

"Your Excellency, you can't-" Shirakawa shouted with tears in her eyes, "You can't insult a person who follows you with his life like this!"

Like Sterling, the other of the three heroes of the Zichuan family also had no resistance to the girl's tears. He was scrambling to find a handkerchief, but Shirakawa had already calmed down. She apologized while wiping her tears: "The lower official has lost his temper." explored the issue of the identity of his subordinates that should not be explored, and it was the subordinate officials who coveted it. ”

Zi Chuanxiu sighed: "Bai Chuan, why do you say such a thing?"

"Since there is a 'normal' relationship between the adult and the subordinate officer, then this kind of thing is appropriate, right? The subordinate once again solemnly apologized. ”

"Shirakawa, don't make trouble!" Zi Chuanxiu shouted, "You must know that if it wasn't you who was late this time, it was Busen, Bran, or any of the Far Eastern generals, then they would have already fallen to the ground." You should know that the relationship between you and me is not just a relationship between superiors and subordinates!"

Bai Chuan replied without hesitation: "Since the lower official has disobeyed the order and is willing to be tortured and killed, with the prestige of the righteous lord! Please don't take care of the old feelings, and immediately order the law enforcement team to do what you want, and the lower official will never resist!"

Looking at her stubborn eyes, Zi Chuanxiu screamed a headache: how could she forget this Your Excellency Bai Chuan's xìngzi, even when Yang Minghua was in the heyday of the ruling and opposition powers, she dared to publicly accuse him in person, let alone now?

He smiled bitterly and said, "You're still that xìngzi, Bai Chuan." ”

For a while, both of them were silent. In the corridor outside the conference room, the footsteps of people came and went, the shouting of officers, the sound of neat footsteps and loud slogans of troops passing through the streets. The two armies of the coalition have met, a great victory is just around the corner, and the city of Tran is filled with a joyful atmosphere. No one knew that at this time, in the unoccupied conference room of the Governor's Palace, the Bright King of the coalition army had a fierce conflict with Shirakawa, the general of the unified army.

"A few years ago, a friend told me that he could kill the whole world, but he couldn't do anything to me. Zi Chuanxiu said slowly, recalling Di Lin's calm face, and didn't feel a burst of nostalgia.

He turned to Shirakawa: "Now, I also want to say to you: If you have to kill Shirakawa in order to establish the prestige of the so-called King of Light, then, I would rather not be this King of Light." ”

"Adult ......"

"Do you want to know what's going on in Dìdū?" Zi Chuan Xiu paused and said lightly, "A-Ning has a new boyfriend and is a playboy. ”

Bai Chuan exclaimed, "Miss Ning!

"Why can't she do this?" Zichuan Xiu smiled self-deprecatingly, "I also blessed her in person!"

He walked out the door: "Shame on a cuckold man. Please laugh at me, you're welcome. ”

"Your Excellency, please stay. ”

Zi Chuan Xiu slowly turned around, and behind him, the young girl general slowly knelt down on one knee and looked up at him firmly:

"My lord, we have agreed to live and die together, share wealth and misfortune, we have jumped on horses and whipped together, and crossed the battlefield together; I have sworn allegiance to you in blood, and no matter how you change, my loyalty will be like blood to ashes, and I will never change! My lord, if you order the killing of all the people in the world, I will not hesitate to be the first to do it; if you want to burn the city of dìdū, I will immediately climb on the roof and pour gasoline on it! Even if you are heinous, even if you are bloody, even if you fall into the abyss of hell after death, then let us go together!

I just ask you, my lord, not to bear the pain alone, that will make us too weightless as subordinates, and I am willing to share your troubles with you, even if it is ruined!"

Shikawa Xiu looked at her quietly, and she was also looking at him. In silence, he untied his heavy black hood and raised his hand to remove the bronze mask. At this moment, the King of Light, whose fame shook the Far East, disappeared, leaving only a melancholy wandering teenager. It was a pale and handsome face devoid of sunlight, with gray sideburns and gray hair. At this moment, those radiant eyes were filled with deep sorrow, and two long lines of tears flowed down the well-defined and thin face.

Looking at him silently, Bai Chuan also felt a deep sadness, and she cried bitterly: "My lord!"

It was too late, the clouds rose in the western sky, and the cloud top was inlaid with a circle of purple glow, and the tone was changing rapidly, painting a soft, colorful sunset afterglow in the bright blue sky, and an orange-red glow was revealed between the clouds and clouds, which went straight to the earth, which was dazzling. Then, the light gradually dimmed, the clouds faded from their multicolored halos, and before they knew it, the first star appeared in the western sky.

Just when it was about to get dark, the reconnaissance post reported that there was an unusual movement in the various tents of the demon clan, and the demon soldiers who should have been dinner time poured out of the various camp tents to form a team in the open field, and the demon army at the front line had formed a battle queue, lined up in a phalanx conducive to attack, and was advancing to the front. According to this information, the Far Eastern troops stationed on both flanks of the city also entered battle preparations, and the soldiers of various nationalities who were resting took up their weapons and lined up in formation, ready to meet the battle.

The generals all speculated that the demon army has always been good at night battles, and seeing that the battle situation is unfavorable, Ross sacrificed this magic weapon again, hoping to defeat the main force of the Far Eastern Army in one fell swoop in the night battle, and their attacks will inevitably be very crazy and fierce. In view of the fact that the demon clan has an advantage in individual combat, the generals asked to strengthen the blocking forces on the front line, widen the distance, and try to use the phalanx against the phalanx to avoid falling into an unorganized melee.

Zichuan Shu agreed with most of the generals' arguments, but he thought: "In the previous two days of fighting, the demons failed to take the Tran Fortress, which was only defended by a small number of troops, and now that reinforcements from the Far East are gathering, Ross suddenly has the confidence to win again? ”

The horn sounded frantically, and in the blood-red dusk, the last touch of red glow on the horizon reflected the black sè armor all over the mountains, and the artemisia grass in the distance also withered under the murderous aura of the sky, and the killing sound shook the sky. The demon cháo's watery attack has begun again. There was no phalanx or queue anymore, and the demon soldiers just rushed forward, like a nest of crazy ants, black and pressing, and the momentum was chilling.

"Release!" the commanders ordered, and the sound of death sounded again at the head of the city, and countless boulders and arrows like a torrential rain flew out with a terrible roar that pierced the air, and at the same time, the phalanx of bows and arrows arranged on the two wings of the outskirts of the city also began to spread into the sky, and the arrows falling from the sky clanged and fell on the heads of the demon soldiers, and fell on their shields and armor, which was unimaginably dense. In an instant, the screams were repeated, and the demon army at the forefront was pierced by long arrows, and they fell down one after another, and the soldiers in the rear jumped over them and continued to advance, shouting wildly, without hesitation, this kind of decisive attack was unimaginable two days ago!

The commander of the front line, the half-orc general Bran, exclaimed, "The demons have gone crazy!" Even this half-orc warrior, who was known for his bravery, did not dare to be careless in the face of the black sè madness that swept in. His command echoed far away on the empty plains:

"First formation, withdraw!"

Nearly 10,000 troops lined up a mile-wide battle array, and the archers on the first line ran back quickly, and twenty meters behind them was the bow and arrow array of the snake clan neatly arranged.

"Second formation, put!"

The three thousand snake soldiers had already made preparations, and pulled the strong bow in their hands into a half-moon shape, the bowstring was "creaking", only the word "put" could be heard, and the three thousand arrows were shed out to the opposite side at the same time, and the terrible sound of the wind was continuous, and there was a ghost crying wolf howl in the darkness. After two rounds of blows, the serpent soldiers also abandoned their positions and ran to the back, passing through the gap between the third array of archers and quickly lined up in the designated place. By this time, the archers of the third formation had already set up their arrows, and twenty meters back, the orcs who had withdrawn from the first formation were rapidly forming a group, bending their bows and arrows.

In this way, again and again, looking at the city, the entire front of the Far Eastern Army is collapsing, scattering, and retreating in confusion layer by layer, and then combining in the rear to form a new front, and the repeated retreats have lengthened the distance of the demon charge, the tactics are simple but effective, and the battle line that continues to collapse and continue to generate is like a thick stack of absorbent paper, each of which is full of absorbing the blood of the demon soldiers. At a distance of hundreds of meters, the corpses of demon soldiers were all over the ground. The enemy is always close in front of you but cannot be touched, which makes the demon army feel a weak sense of frustration.

But after all, the speed of the demon charge was much higher than the "retreat" of the Far Eastern Army, and after changing the formation more than a dozen times, they finally forced to the front of the formation. Bran gave the order, and all the archers retreated from the gap in the rear formation, and what appeared in front of the demon army was thousands of long spears as neat as brushes, and the tips of the spears all moved forward. The demon soldiers screamed fiercely: "Vagra!" (kill!) and pounced. It was as if two equally fierce waves began to collide, and the white-knuckle battle began. In an instant, thousands of bodies fell down, thousands of blood splattered, and a thin layer of blood mist rose from the battle line of the two armies. The Demon Army is attacking like cháo.

The fierce battle lasted for more than an hour, and the sky was completely darkened, and beneath the twinkling stars, the various clans of the earth were fighting each other, and the land was soaked in blood.

At the head of the city, Zi Chuanxiu stood quietly, watching the demon camp five miles away. Between the lines that divided the heavens and the earth, thousands of fires covered the entire plain, and the stars in the sky were intertwined, and there was no edge in sight. It was the torch in the ranks of the demon army. The main force of the demon army is still holding its ground, which makes Shikawa Xiu worried. Although the commanders of various sections of the front line repeatedly begged for reinforcements, he resolutely refused: the reserves should be used like knives in the most critical places, and he would not be lightly dispatched if he was not sure that he would defeat the demons in one fell swoop.

"The momentum of the demon army's impact is very strong!" Bai Chuan, who returned from the battlefield, said quickly: "This is a division that will fight to the death!

"No!" Zichuan Xiu said categorically, pointing to the fire in the distance: "It's not time for the reserves to be dispatched yet! It's only the forward of the demon clan that is fighting with us, and their main force is still moving. ”

"My lord, in terms of total combat strength, our army and the demons are evenly matched. If we had put in the reserves first, then their main forces would have to be dispatched, otherwise we would have to watch the vanguard army being eaten by us!"

Zichuan Xiu Huo Ran jǐng Xing: "You are right! If you want to win, you must force out the main force of the demon clan. "All along, Shikawa Xiu has been accustomed to the way of fighting from the back, and unconsciously, this has formed his mindset. was reminded by Shirakawa, and he immediately came to his senses:

"Attention: Zhōngyāng's infantry regiments are advancing, filling the gaps in the frontal formation, and pressing out the demons who have broken through!

The teams of the left flank troops bypassed the battlefield and made a detour from the left to launch a counter-charge to knock out the enemy's right flank!

The teams of the right flank troops bypassed the battlefield and made a detour from the right to attack the enemy's left flank!

The above orders will be conveyed quickly, and there must be no mistake in the immediate implementation of all troops!"

The herald galloped down the tower, jumped on his horse, and galloped towards the area where the reserve army had assembled. At the same time, the flag-bearers on the head of the city waved torches and informed the ground commander of the order in the language of the flag, and the signal was repeated three times in a row.

"Roger!" said the right wing, watching the torches dance above the city, General Busen slowly straightened his chest. Looking at the reserve phalanx standing quietly like a mountain behind him, he yelled furiously, "It's time, kill the green-haired ghost!"

"Hooray!" 30,000 infantrymen wielded bayonets and machetes with a rainbow of momentum. The huge array began to move, like a sea like a cháo. The infantry shouted the neat trumpet of "Hey Hey, Hey", holding high the dense javelins, and their steps became faster and faster, from walking to running quickly, faster and faster, in the dark night, like a boulder rolling down from the top of the mountain, this mountain crossed the battle line, like a dark cloud in the sky, with terrible pressure from the position to the demon army.

On the left flank of the position, a herald on horseback rushed from afar, holding a small flag of Jin Sè. He swept past the team leader Dekun without stopping, leaving only a voice rippling in the air: "Your Excellency Dekun, the King of Light has an order: attack immediately!"

"It's an honor!" the orc Dekun roared in a hoarse voice, his face flushed with excitement. He turned around and waved: "Brothers, kill!"

"Kill!" tens of thousands of stout male voices replied, whips were raised all over the sky, countless horses' hooves rolled up a huge storm of gray and brown sè, the sound of hooves shook like thunder, the sabre flashed in the dark night, and the cavalry legion attacked the enemy's right flank with a fierce attack, slashing the panicked demon infantry all the way, cutting into the enemy formation like a sharp axe.

At the same time, the mid-lane commander Bran was reinforced by a large number of infantry to stabilize his position, and the brave orc commander turned to the counterattack without pause. He stood at the front with his flag held high. Suddenly, the archers in the front row of the demon clan were aiming at him, and in an instant, countless arrows were in his body, and he shouted heartbreakingly: "Children, follow me, follow the military flag-rush!"

"Rush!" the soldiers of all tribes doubled their courage and followed their generals, galloping forward. The orcs roared in horror and took the lead in the demon ranks, followed by the silent dragon soldiers, the dwarves armed with big axes and sickles, and also rushed in, and finally the rows of snake archers - the snake clans were weak and could not withstand hand-to-hand combat, but their night vision was very strong, and even in such a chaotic fighting group, they could accurately distinguish the demon officers, and they were very despicable and specifically targeted the officers: every time an officer fell, the demon soldiers in the area immediately lost command and fell into chaos. Tran's defenders continued to use stone-throwing, bows and arrows to kill and wound the demons and support the infantry.

Every side of the demon phalanx was impacted at the same time. Dekun's cavalry spun furiously, bursting through numerous gaps in the phalanx. The rows of infantry that stood in the way were trampled by the horses' hooves and fell to the ground and disappeared. But at the same time, countless bayonets also penetrated into the horse's belly, and the cavalry rolled off the horse. Attacked by strong forces on three sides, especially the cavalry army suddenly cut in from the left side, the offensive of the demon army was immediately suppressed and stopped. Although the demon soldiers were brave, they tried their best but could not resist the absolute superiority of the Far East, and the rolling flow of people rushed like a mountain torrent and tsunami, unable to resist this strong pressure, their front was suppressed and retreated step by step, while the three-way army of the Far East Coalition Army advanced step by step, and the more they fought, the more courageous they became. The demon phalanx was besieged from all sides, and the attacking troops were eroding and destroying them little by little, like ice melting in the sun. The far-right phalanx, exposed, was wiped out almost as soon as it came into contact. The remaining troops narrowed down and continued to fight.

The cavalry cut into the middle of the demon army, and they went straight to the banner to kill. The demon soldiers killed the barbarians, and they didn't need the officers to give orders, they consciously gathered around the golden lion flag, the war horses leaned on the war horses, and the shoulders were on the shoulders of the people, and the crowd was extremely dense, densely protecting the banner.

In an instant, the savage battle began. The knife was rolled, the gun was broken, and the demon soldiers pounced forward with their bare hands, dragging the half-orc cavalry from the horseback, and the two of them wrestled and rolled together on the ground, pinching their necks, poking their eyes, tearing their hair, and biting their throats, whether it was the Far Eastern soldiers or the demon soldiers, at this moment, everyone became beasts that only survived by instinct. In the roar of the horses, in the billowing smoke and dust, there were terrorous, fiery battles everywhere, the clanging of weapons blocking, the terrible screams of the wounded being trampled by the horses, and the dead falling to the ground. In the whirlpool of fierce battles between soldiers and horses, under the fluttering flag, blood flowed like a canal.

The demon soldiers burst out of the terrible barbarians, and the attacking cavalry was forced back dozens of steps, and then the infantry led by Busen pounced up from the left, and Bran also led the men and horses to break through the front line and come forward to help, and the attackers once again completed the encirclement of the banner, and the encirclement was compressed and gradually narrowed, and the number of demons was decreasing every minute and every second, and the Far Eastern Army was about to seize the banner either this way or that way. Suddenly, the closest demon officer brushed the ground and took down the banner, raising his knife to smash it. The orc shouted, "No! Don't!" "Stop him, kill him!" In the sharp wind, the officer was instantly turned into a hedgehog, and two more demon soldiers pounced, taking the flag from his hand to destroy, a half-orc soldier rushed forward, and slashed down one with a lightning sword, and grabbed the banner with a bloody big hand, but the other corner was grabbed by the demon soldier. The two snatched each other without giving in, slashing each other, and did not retreat an inch. In an instant, both of them were covered in bruises, and blood gushed out, but neither of them would back down, and neither of them would let go! This was a warrior fight against a warrior, and thousands of bloody voices were shouting and cheering in unison:

"Capture the Flag, Capture the Flag!",

"Wagra, Wagra!" was earth-shattering.

In the vast plain under the starlight, nearly 100,000 troops were rushing and clinging, countless flags were undulating and falling, and the army was advancing in a sea of mountains. The wind blew and the clouds danced, the military flag hunted overhead, and Zi Chuanxiu stood quietly, as if there were two fires burning in his eyes.

Looking down on the earth gave him the illusion of being above all things, as if the earth was his chessboard, and the countless soldiers and horses were the chess pieces in his hands, and the whole war was just a chess game of his own game. As soon as he gave the order, thousands of people acted according to it, they gathered, charged, striking, bleeding, and died, whether it was the enemy or ours, the object of their hatred and love was themselves, the hundreds of thousands of people below, their life and death, the happiness and disaster of thousands of families, the luck of the whole country, the rise and fall of the earth, all because of their fleeting thoughts.

In an instant, Shikawa Xiu understood why the kings of the past always liked to call themselves "sons of gods", such a power is indeed comparable only to gods. But why, can he control the fate of millions of people, but he can't control his own fate? He can control the happiness of tens of millions of people, but he can't bring happiness to himself? He lowered his head and fell into inexplicable contemplation.

Suddenly, the sound of soaring footsteps sounded in the corridor, and Shirakawa's figure appeared at the door. She gasped and shouted, "My lord, the demon camp, the big camp, it's empty!

Zi Chuanxiu exclaimed, "What!"

Bai Chuan gasped for a while, and said it intermittently: a regiment of cavalry led by her penetrated into the enemy camp, and did not encounter any organized resistance, and the demon camp was empty, leaving only the wounded demon soldiers who had lost their combat effectiveness.

Shirokawa Xiuyi grabbed Shirakawa's shoulder and pointed to the torches in the distance: "What's going on?"

"My lord, we have been fooled! Those torches are all planted on the ground, and they are being maintained by those demon wounded soldiers! The main force of Ross - as soon as it gets dark and the attack begins, they all withdraw!"

Shirakawa Shu let go of Shirakawa and laughed instead of being angry. He muttered to himself, "Rose, you're so ruthless!"

At this point, the intentions of the Demon Army have been completely exposed: in order to cover the retreat of the main force, the Demon Clan abandoned the charging troops and the disabled soldiers, and while the Far Eastern Coalition Army focused its attention on the death squad, their main force sneaked away under the cover of night!

"In order to survive, I left behind more than 20,000 brothers who were fighting on the front line! I really can't agree with this kind of behavior!" Zi Chuan Xiu said angrily: "There is no need to continue this massacre! Bai Chuan, let the news go out and shout to the demon army!"
