The sky is full of stars. Lying on the lawn on the hillside, looking up at the dark starry sky, Zichuan Xiu was in a trance. The deep universe can always make him forget a bit of trouble. Three hundred years ago, when the armies of the Empire of Light were dominating the world, the same starry sky was covering their heads. The vicissitudes of the world are just a blink of an eye. Zichuan Xiu produced a feeling, as if what he had been engaged in was illusory. Where you came from, where you are going. Famous monarchs and heroes, sages and heroes, and great evils, a hundred years later, there will be no death. The only thing that can remain eternal is the starlight above your head at this moment.

Humanity has always looked forward to eternity, which is the potential hope of humanity. Perhaps, it is precisely because of the realization of one's own shortness that mankind hopes to create a career that can be passed on after birth! Famous monarchs and heroes have created glorious dynasties that have been passed down for hundreds of years, heroes and heroes have done great things to leave their names and talents, and those who do not have the ability and luck to become famous kings and heroes (usually call them villains and scum) have also made up their minds that they will not be remembered for thousands of years. The worst of all are the sentient beings, the only thing they can do is to try to have a few more children, so that future generations can continue to do so.

Shirokawa Shu was thinking about it, Shirakawa had come closer, and with her, two half-orcs, Busen and Bran

"Your Highness. ”

Zi Chuanxiu didn't get up, and asked lightly: "The voting results have come out?"

Shirakawa replied softly, "Yes." Five votes to two, it was decided to face the Ludi army head-on tomorrow. I was not a member of the committee and was not able to vote. ”

Buson whispered, "I voted no, and my nephew Bran voted against." But Vera—" he shook his head, not knowing what to say. His own people had done something that was almost tantamount to treachery, and he felt disgraced.

Shikawa Xiu didn't say anything. Representatives of the four races of the Snake Clan, Jīng Spirit Monsters, Dragon People, and Dwarves all opposed him, which was to be expected. What he didn't expect was that there was also someone among the orcs who opposed him, and it was Vera, a retainer who had always been obedient to him. He was the most qualified veteran of the rebel army, and his prestige and weight in the army were not comparable to those of the newcomers.

Bran spoke up, "Your Highness, Vera is different from the others. He said slowly: "The sixty-fifth and seventy-first teams of the demon clan who participated in the Shaluo massacre are all in Lu Di's army. He asked me to explain to you that he is not against you, he is just anxious for revenge, and hopes that you will forgive him..."

Zi Chuan Xiu's heart was suddenly, but he pursed the corners of his mouth: "He didn't do anything wrong, why should I forgive?" The tone was very peaceful, but in the eyes of the orcs who were familiar with him, they knew that the calmer Zi Chuan Xiu spoke, the greater his anger.

Buson and Bran looked at each other, a little overwhelmed. Zi Chuanxiu suddenly asked, "Busen, I still remember the first time I met Vera, you introduced me as the king of the temple prophecy - what was that prophecy?"

Busen was surprised: "Your Highness, didn't the elder tell you?"

Zi Chuanxiu shook his head slowly: "No." ”

"That..."Busen hesitated for a moment, seeing that Zichuan Xiu's face was getting worse and worse, he knew that the current Zichuan Xiu had absolutely no time to test his resistance, and hurriedly said, "I only know a little bit." In the prophetic poems that have been passed down in the temple for more than 1,500 years, it is foretold that in this time there will be a "our king" who will bring light to us Zoe and lead us to win zìyóu out of darkness. On the night you went to see the elders, after you returned, the elders spent the whole night studying the book of prophecy and staying up all night. As a result, the next morning, the news came that the demons had invaded the temple. The elder was taken aback and said to me, 'Providence, is that human being our king?' and I couldn't believe it at the time, but the elder didn't say much to me. It wasn't until you led your troops to repel the attack of the demons that the elder sighed and said, 'Providence, it should be him!' Although he didn't tell me clearly, the elder named you 'His Royal Highness the King of Light', I think he must have meant that, and decided that you were the legendary king, right?"

Shirakawa was intrigued: "Oh, what about that prophetic poem?"

Busen whispered, "The king who drives out the darkness, and shines the light of the world." When our king came, a thousand years of strong slaves broke free from their shackles and saw the dawn that tore through the darkness. ”

Shirakawa was stunned: "Isn't this a folk song sung by children? ”

Busen laughed and said, "The temple deliberately leaked a little so that everyone knew that the King of Light was coming." This is only part of the prophetic poem, and the elder has shown me the whole of that verse! -- Actually, it's obvious enough that His Highness is known as the King of Light, which coincides with the phrase "the king who drives out the darkness and shines the light of the world." ”

Shikawa Xiu still didn't speak, his eyes blinking, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Shirakawa asked curiously, "Do you remember the whole content of that section?"

Busen thought for a moment, and sang in a low voice:

"The green clouds in the east obscure the blue sky.

A young tiger roaring unyieldingly on the banks of the Grey River.

Lion-worshipping generals, searching for legendary riches in the ruins on both sides of the Blue River,

When our King comes, he casts out the king of darkness and shines the light of the world.

A thousand years of strong slaves, breaking free from the shackles on their bodies, saw the dawn that tore through the darkness. ”

His voice was low and deep, the tune was desolate, and it sounded with a special charm. Several people listened attentively.

"What else?"

"No!," said Buson dejectedly, "the elder has only sung so much to me." The rest of the contents are known only to the elders, and the prophecy book is also kept by the elders alone. ”

Shirakawa didn't seem to understand the lyrics, and was about to ask Busen about the meaning, when Shirakawa quietly spoke: "I'm sleepy and need to rest." Go ahead!"

The two half-orcs were stunned, and they didn't know why Zichuan Xiu suddenly gave an eviction order. In the end, it was Shirakawa who made a gesture to them, signaling them to go down first, and she would persuade them. The two half-orcs nodded, thanked Bai Chuan with their eyes, and cautiously said goodbye: "Then Your Highness, let's go down first?"

"Well, have a good rest, let's work tomorrow!"

The orcs looked at each other, and Zichuan Xiu's voice did not carry a trace of joy and anger, and it was not clear whether he was talking back. They hurried away. Only Shirakawa and Shirakawa Shu remained on the lawn. Shirakawa smiled, sat down next to Zi Chuanxiu, who was lying down, and asked, "My lord, why don't you let him continue?

Zi Chuanxiu smiled faintly: "Do you believe in these things?"

"Well... I don't understand something, and I want Buson to explain it for me. ”

"'The green clouds of the east obscure the blue sky. This prophesied the attack of the demons on the Far East, and the Zichuan family was defeated. Because the skin of the demon clan is green, and the officer uniforms and flags of our Zichuan family are all blue.

"The young tiger roared unyieldingly on the banks of the Grey River. "Obviously, this is talking about Sterling's stubborn resistance to the demons in Pai.

Sentence 3: 'Generals who worship lions search for legendary riches in the ruins on both sides of the Blue River. This means that the demon army's rampage in the Far East has been rampant. There is a golden lion on the demon flag.

The last verse: 'When our King comes, he will cast out the king of darkness and shine the light of the earth.' A thousand years of strong slaves will break free from the shackles on their bodies and see the dawn that tears through the darkness. In fact, the first three sentences are all foreshadowing, and they are all for this sentence, just like putting some real goods on the counter before selling fake drugs. It's a scam at all. ”

Shirakawa was surprised: "Scam?"

"Think about it, 'The Book of Prophecy is treasured in the temple, and only the Elder has read the full text. Whether the prophecy is true or not, whether it is true or not, only the elder knows, and it is up to him to say what he says, which obviously smacks of deception. I've never believed in any stupid thing in the world that predicts the future, and if Boudin really had such a great ability to be a prophet, then he shouldn't have agreed to cooperate with the demons in the first place, so as to lure the wolf into the house. ”

Bai Chuan was stunned: "My lord, I remember that Boudan seemed to be against the alliance with the demons before!"

Zichuan Xiu was stunned for a moment, only to realize that he had made a mistake. He waved his hand: "That's not the point. The point is, this prophetic book is simply a psychological warfare weapon! I remember that when I was in the Far East, there were no such prophetic poems in circulation. Since it was a prophetic poem from 1,500 years ago, why couldn't it have been announced earlier, and it had to wait for something to happen before it could be announced? Do you still remember the collective rebellion of the border guards 50 years ago? Didn't those rebel leaders at that time also use songs such as 'rì to the east, and the destiny of heaven to return to the west' to incite the border guards to rebel? What is the providence of heaven that dooms them to success! As a result, they did not kill Yunshanhe, the commander of the Far East at that time, in the same way. Elder Nabudan was too cunning, he understood the human psyche, and he deliberately said it vaguely and incomprehensibly, so that people had to think hard to understand what he meant, so everyone was convinced of it. Just fooling those simple-minded fools!"

Zi Chuanxiu's tone was sour and mean, and Bai Chuan smiled: "My lord, you are so angry today! I haven't seen you so angry for a long time!"

"Hmph! Where am I angry! It's not worth being angry for this group of fools! They can play how they like, according to their way of playing, if the will of heaven dooms them to victory, unless the world falls a stone and smashes all the demon army to death!"

Shirakawa smiled "poof" and was silent. After waiting for a while, Zichuan Xiu saw that Bai Chuan didn't make a sound, and he couldn't help but ask out loud: "Who will be the commander-in-chief of tomorrow's battle?"

Shirakawa couldn't help but laugh: "They all hope that it would be best for you to be the commander..."

Zi Chuanxiu shook his head: "I'm not interested." ”

Bai Chuan paused slightly: "If you don't want to, it's likely to be Your Excellency Vera." He is bent on the main battle, and he is the highest in the positive. Moreover, he had prestige among the soldiers, and people regarded him as a warrior who was strategic and tactical. ”

"Vera, Jīng Tong Tao Strategy, Tactics Jīng Liang..."Zi Chuan Xiu smiled bitterly, Vera didn't steal the teacher from himself. He smiled wryly: "He's not a bad guy, it's just—" he paused and thought, "Historically, those "good Samaritans" have often caused more unintentional harm than the deliberate destruction of villains. ”

"Tomorrow, if the Far Eastern Army defeats the Ludi Army head-on, it will suffer a crushing defeat. ”

Shirakawa comforted Shikawa and said, "Whatever, my lord, we've done our best, haven't we?"

Zi Chuanxiu snorted: "Who said it wasn't!"

"Then your friend and life-saver, Delen, asked, 'Why did we watch the Zoe army annihilate?' We can also have a clear conscience, right?"

Zi Chuanxiu didn't look at her, and said with a sullen head: "That's right!"

"We are fully worthy of the trust and trust placed in us by Elder Boudin, as well as the thousands of soldiers of all ethnic groups who have entrusted us with their lives, as well as their wives, mothers, and children in their families, we have a clear conscience, don't we?" Shirakawa's tone was gentle, and his eyes were as bright as stars, staring deeply at Zichuan Xiu.

"I can't stand you!" Shikawa Shu rolled around in pain on the grass with his head in his hands. He sat up straight all of a sudden, his eyes blazing: "Bai Chuan, I have a task to give you!"

"Yes!" Shirakawa was delighted.

On March 5, 781, the first great duel between the Far Eastern Army and the Demon Army, the Battle of Kearney began.

At noon, the main forces of the two armies began to meet. There was light snow in the sky, thousands of troops and horses were floating in the snow and mist, and the battle line was winding and turbulent like a long snake.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the main lineup of the rebel army went into battle. The ranks of the rebel army slowly approached like dark clouds, their ranks covered the entire land, the two wings of the black pressure stretched out for a long time, and there was no end in sight, and the dust raised covered the sky, and the footsteps of "rustling" seemed to walk on the hearts of the demon soldiers. The demon officers and soldiers began to turn pale.

Lu Di sneered: "Jumping clown, dare to come out and be arrogant!" Although the rebels are numerous, he is not afraid: if the rebels hide and fight guerrilla attacks with themselves, it is really difficult to deal with, but if they want to fight in the field, they are not worthy. There are not many regular troops in the rebels, and most of them are ordinary people and civilian troops who rush to the army. And the demons under his command are all well-disciplined and battle-hardened warriors, extremely brave, all of them are the most experienced veterans, they have participated in wars with humans, and have experienced countless battlefield battles. Lu Di believed that this army of tigers and leopards alone would be enough to sweep away the rebels, not to mention that he also had an extremely large number of auxiliary armies!

Lu Di gave an impassioned speech on the verge of battle, declaring, "End the battle in one afternoon!", while Busen assured the military council: "Defeat the demon army before you fall!" It was a peculiar battle, and the commanders on both sides felt that they were in the hands of victory.

The rebel side launched a fierce attack first, and in the face of the oncoming wind and snow, the 150,000 half-orc and snake coalition began to move slowly

Moving forward, countless half-orcs panting in animal skins held maces and spears high, and the snake soldiers squeaked and stuck out their red tongues, and they waved their weapons while shouting: "The Zoe will win!", "The Hart will win!", the voice was earth-shattering. The black-pressed procession rushed to the head of the demon clan like cháo water, the drums rolled, the trumpets sounded in unison, and the soldiers were elated, as if they were going to a free lunch.

The formation of the demon army was majestic, compared to the hustle and bustle of the Far East coalition army, the camp of the demon army was calm, like a mountain of spear forests raised high in the sky, the wind blew the flags, and the sound of hunting. The sound of horses' hooves continued one after another, and the heralds on horseback ran through the passages between the various phalanxes, shouting out the commands: "Hold your ground!" and "Get ready!" The demon infantry in the front row squatted down obediently, inserting their shields and spear holders deep into the mud, forming a defensive formation, behind the formation, eight thousand archers were divided into six columns, and they were putting arrows on their strong bows, with cold expressions.

When the two armies approached a distance of 100 paces, the snake archers, who could not hold their breath, released their arrows first. The arrows flying densely in the air fell into the dense queue of the demon army, splashing a splash of blood and groaning. The demon soldier who was hit by the arrow fell without saying a word, and the soldiers in the back row stepped forward silently and filled the gap in the queue. The commander commanded: "Shield!" All of a sudden, the shield players raised their shields to the sky to block it, and from above, the front row of the entire demon army camp showed a metal reflection, as if they suddenly had a metal roof. All of a sudden, the snake clan's arrows clanged and filled the shield wall, but they couldn't do any damage.

"Brothers, for the sake of the Far East, rush!" shouted the commander of the orcs in front.

"Huh-Zhuo-La!" the Far Eastern soldiers roared like thunder and launched a charge, and they ran forward in great stride, rushing towards the enemy line with a surging momentum, and the gray crowd rushed and spread out like a wave, and the shouts of killing were earth-shattering. The entire queue rushed to the head of the demon army, and the momentum was amazing. When they rushed to a distance of about fifty paces, the commander of the demon clan waved his hand: "Release!" The first row of archers stood up and released their arrows, and the dense rain of arrows was like a torrential rain hitting the array of the Far Eastern Army. At this distance, the damage caused by the blow of a strong bow was terrible, and there was an astonishing clamour, "Ahh The successor marched forward, but at this time, the first row of archers of the demon clan had already crouched down to wind their bows and arrows, and the second row of archers began to shè again, and another terrible metal storm swept into the middle of the orcs, followed by the third row, the fourth row... Due to the lack of defensive equipment such as armor on the part of the rebels, the casualties were particularly heavy when attacked by bows and arrows. Although the commanders of the rebel army had advised the soldiers to try to find some armor that could cover the vital points, such as door panels and pot lids, most of the fanatical orc soldiers abandoned the armor in order to kill quickly. At a distance of fifty paces in front of the demon army, the rebels suffered heavy casualties, and the bravest soldiers had already fallen to the ground before they could get close to the demon phalanx.

"Rush!" A large number of bows and arrows fell head-on, and the people in the forward, Cháo, had become sparse, but the stubborn orcs were still advancing, holding aloft maces, javelins, earth spears and other weapons, and they approached the head of the demon clan and engaged in melee combat. The front row of the demons exhaled and shouted in unison: "Ha!" On the side of the shield, countless bayonets stabbed forward at the same time, piercing the hundreds of orcs who rushed to the front. The half-orcs in the second row pounced angrily, but they were hit by a rain of arrows, and they fell to the ground screaming like hedgehogs. The soldiers of the Far Eastern Army fell to the ground in rows and rows, and the charging orc teams went up one after another, but they were repelled one after another, in front of the demon formation, the air exuded a pungent blood, and the red mist was misty, which was the mist formed by the blood of the half-orc soldiers being evaporated by the sun. Their blood is flowing in vain. The phalanx of the demons is simply a high-efficiency killing machine with both offense and defense. Although the orcs are full of fighting spirit, the gap in weapons and strength is quite ruthless, compared to the well-trained and well-equipped regular demon army, the civilian army is really too far behind. Before even a phalanx could be breached, the orcs had already killed and injured the four teams at the forefront. In front of the demon array, they were full of corpses and suffered heavy casualties. The raging attack of the orcs was like a wave crashing onto a reef, shattering them all.

This was also discovered by the command of the rebels, and the commander ordered a retreat. The trumpeter blew the call for withdrawal, and the attacking troops, who had suffered heavy casualties, had no intention of fighting again, and the ranks poured back from the front line as if they were retreating. But at this moment, a thunderous cry also sounded at the head of the demon army: "Semuhelin!" (Long live my emperor) The demons have begun to attack!

The 20,000 demon cavalry arranged on the left flank began to march out, and they suddenly rushed forward, pounced on the flanks of the retreating orc teams. Three teams of snake infantry were hastily mobilized in an attempt to intercept the demon cavalry and buy time for the retreating orcs. But the infantry of the snake tribe really did not need to be beaten, and at the slightest contact, they were scattered and crushed. Without delay, the demon cavalry caught up with the orc legion that was retreating from Queen Cang.

The forward commander ordered the soldiers to stop retreating and resist on the spot, hoping to hold out until reinforcements arrived. But the orcs couldn't attack, and their morale had declined. The momentum of the demon cavalry was amazing, the flash of a saber was scorching, and the entire queue was black, only the sound of the impact of the sword and the friction of the iron armor were heard, and the murderous aura was pressing. The overwhelming horse's hooves seemed to trample the entire army of orcs, and suddenly, 20,000 hideous faces shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor!"

The demon cavalry had already been killed! They were not afraid of death, and attacked one of the defensive formations in a dense formation, and the momentum was as fierce as fire, and they cut into the camp of the half-orcs like a bamboo, spinning wildly, quickly spreading to the left and right, and the formation of the half-orcs suddenly collapsed. The half-orc infantry who had lost the cover of the formation panicked and fled to the rear, but they slashed and slashed the demon cavalry in large areas, just like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, unstoppable. The demon cavalry made a terrible breakthrough, and more than 100,000 half-orcs and snake infantry were scattered like water, and the rout rushed the rebel army behind them. The cavalry of the demons was like a storm, under their iron hooves, like a calm ocean swept up by a whirlwind, the huge Far Eastern army was completely unable to resist, those dense phalanxes collapsed one after another, the queue began to be chaotic, and the soldiers fled in panic. Especially those civilian soldiers, the demon soldiers were so frightened that they shouted before they rushed to them:

"The green-haired ghost is so fierce! Dabao, pack up your clothes and leave!"

"Who saw my quilt?"

"Mom, where are you? Run!"

"Ermao Dad!Ermao Dad!Where are you dead? Don't you leave quickly, the green-haired ghost is coming!"

The cavalry of the demon army crushed the forward phalanx of the half-orcs and rushed straight to the middle army. The half-orc formation resounded with a scream of ghosts and wolves, and the demon cavalry went on a rampage, as if entering a no-man's land, it was like a pack of 20,000 wolves rushing into the middle of 100,000 sheep!

Looking at the thunderous impact of the demon cavalry, the generals of the rebel army had faces like dirt. They have only been fighting with the local garrisons of the demon race, when can they see the terrifying majesty of the demon ace regular army, then they can understand why the demon army can crisscross the continent and never resist. The ferocity of the demon soldiers is brought out of the blood. They take combat for pleasure and are naturally bloodthirsty and ferocious. And the peoples of the Far East, whether they are orcs, snakes, or dragons, their nature is gentle, and every battle is a last resort. This is like the confrontation between herbivores and carnivorous animals, and the terrifying wolf-like ferocity of demon soldiers cannot be trained by gentle orcs.

Vera stood high and watched, her nails digging deep into her palms. In front of him, the heralds rushed to report one after another: "Lord Vera, Zoe's sixth regiment has been completely wiped out!"

"My lord, the 11th Regiment has been defeated!

"Your Excellency, Lord Bran of the First Legion has asked for permission to retreat!

Vera ordered: "The Bran army must not retreat! even if the last man dies!" "The Bran army is the main force of the rebel army, and if he retreats, the other troops will also retreat, and then the defeat will be irretrievable. But the shape was already very serious, although Bran was still trying his best to reorganize his forces on the front line and wanted to carry out a counter-charge, but as if they had touched an iron plate, they were beaten back every time, and each time they were beaten to one out of ten, leaving only corpses. In Bran's legion, there were already soldiers who began to run backwards despite orders.

The representative of the Serpent Clan, Soth, rushed over and roared: "Hurry up and send reinforcements! My children are almost overwhelmed! We still have reserves!"

Vera hurriedly waved her flag, and in the reserves in the rear, one new team after another joined the front. But it's all useless. Although the rebel army had an absolute advantage in numbers and was overcrowded, it always fell behind. The demon soldiers still rushed left and right, as if they were in a no-man's land. Wherever they rushed, there was chaos, and those phalanx queues that looked very imposing were as vulnerable as they were when they encountered the violent cavalry storm of the demon race. The coalition was in chaos, and the soldiers did not listen to the order, no longer resisted, and the wolves rushed to the rabbit. The snake clan dropped their weapons, the orcs let out a desperate howl, the dwarven soldiers were already running back in a panic, and there were so many soldiers who fled that they were so crowded with each other that there were screams everywhere: "Oh no!", "Run!". Behind the fleeing troops, the demon cavalry had already slashed the defeated orc infantry in the Great Horse Golden Knife Field. You can already hear the shrill shouts of the demons, and they are already close to the command array!

Vera froze, Soth froze, Monroe froze, and the generals of the rebel army were dumbfounded. In such a chaotic situation, even if any new force is brought in, it will be brought down if it is involved in this vortex. At this time, they regretted why they hadn't listened to Zichuan Xiu's words before.

Busen was so anxious that he shouted, "Where is His Highness the King of Light?

No one could refute his words, and the word "pain" had been deeply engraved on Vera Yīn's face. Someone replied to Buson: "Your Highness did not play today..."

"Go back to the city and invite him over!" Several heralds turned over and were about to set off, when Zi Chuanxiu's voice had already come: "No need, I'm here." ”

His thin figure appeared at the door of the command tent, and Vera strode up to meet him and grabbed him: "Your Highness, I..."

"Don't say anything now. Shikawa Xiu interrupted his confession: "Vera, do you have a regimental reserve in your hands?"

"Yes!" Vera replied without hesitation. He didn't understand what Zichuan Xiu wanted a team to do, he had already invested sixteen teams, but it didn't work at all, and the shape was still deteriorating.

"There is no shortage of troops ahead!" Zichuan Xiu said word by word: "What they lack is the jīng god who fights to the death!" and then ordered: "Vera, arrange the overseer team, you should be the captain of the overseer!

Vera was shocked, staring at Zichuan Xiu's calm face, and her heart felt an indescribable feeling. The muscles on his face twitched, and he hesitated: "Your Highness..."

"Go!" Shikawa Hidegami was calm, but his heart was also chuckling, and he was deeply disgusted with his actions.

Vera hurriedly saluted and went down to set up the Overseer. Three thousand snake archers and a thousand orc bayonets were hurriedly placed at the back of the array—a move far more symbolic than practical, and once the 100,000 main army on the front line had collapsed, the Overseers would not be able to suppress it. But after shè killed dozens or hundreds of deserters, the effect had already come out, and seeing that his back had been arranged into the warlord's team, the soldiers who had no way out had no choice but to let out a roar and turn to meet the cavalry of the demon clan. The demon cavalry was taken aback: I didn't expect this group of dirt buns to be able to fight!

At the same time, Zichuan Xiu ordered the Snake Clan army, which had not been impacted on the left flank, to immediately attack and smash the Demon Clan's base camp. The 30,000 snake clans dragged their long spears, snorted and stuck out their tongues, shouting all the way to kill. They were fiercely resisted by 10,000 demon infantry, and the two sides began to fight, but the snake clan could not withstand the attack of the demons, and the left flank retreated little by little. But while the snake people and the demon infantry were fighting, a half-orc cavalry on the right flank suddenly attacked, cutting into the gap between the attacking demon cavalry and the base camp, and then launched an attack on the demon cavalry from behind.

The back road was cut off! In an instant, the cavalry array of the demon race was in a very disadvantageous position, and it had already cut deep into the ranks of the orcs, and the only back road was cut off by the opponent's cavalry, as if it was surrounded! The soldiers panicked. This panic was captured by the keen front-line commander Bran, who immediately commanded the few troops who could still control zhì in his hands, and launched a counterattack, although not very successful, but temporarily contained the offensive of the demons.

But the commander of the demon cavalry is very experienced: it is impossible for orcs to form an encirclement of themselves. Although they managed to cut into the rear, their front line was too chaotic to form an effective strike. He immediately ordered the whole army to turn their horses and storm backwards. The rusty orc cavalry could not compete with the battle-hardened demon cavalry, and the queue was torn open by a rift and cut in the middle. The demon cavalry fought a bloody way and calmly returned to their positions.

The Far Eastern Army was also slowly retreating, but with the efforts of Zichuan Xiu and the front-line commanders at all levels, the team finally maintained a certain formation to prevent the pursuit of the Demon Army. Fortunately, the tired demon army seemed to be satisfied with such a result, and did not launch a new onslaught.

Overhead, the rì head begins to set in the west. Dusk has arrived. As the two armies began to disengage, the crowd gradually left the battlefield like cháo, leaving corpses all over the ground.

Standing on the high ground of the battlefield, looking at the defeated and dejected army below him, Shikawa Shu remembered the demon army that had been beaten by Stirling's ironclad army in Pai City. He smiled bitterly: Feng Shui takes turns, and I have today!

The generals next to him couldn't even laugh. The strength of the demon army was beyond everyone's expectations. As an ally, it didn't seem to be a big deal, once it was an enemy, the demon army immediately showed its terrifying strength, and they were not at the same level as the civilian army in the Far East. This army has defeated 600,000 human armies across the Far East, and their target is the entire continent. A single ordinary crusade team has such terrifying strength, and Lu Di is not a very outstanding general among the generals of the demon clan. If one day you have to face the famous generals of the Demon Clan: Ling Buxu, Yun Qianxue, Prince Caton, Yerma, Leo, Karan, and the famous Jīng Rui army they command: the Royal Guards Brigade, the Senea Legion, the Feather Forest Legion... They couldn't imagine what it would look like.

The Far Easterners want to build their own country, this is a road full of thorns!

The generals on the front line came back one by one, their blood-stained robes and scars, and the afterglow of the fall shone on their faces, dim and gray. No one expected that the first day of the battle would result in such a fiasco. The Demon Army only dispatched half of its army, and the Far Eastern Army was defeated. They gathered around Zi Chuanxiu, dazed and at a loss. All eyes were on Zichuan Xiu, and at this time, maintaining a calm Zichuan Xiu was their only expectation. They looked at him with eager eyes, like kindergarten children waiting for their aunt to share the apples.

Zi Chuanxiu secretly scolded: "The brains of this group of guys seem to have been trampled on by the hooves of the demon clan, and they are like this!" He was calmer than the others, because he had long expected that the battle situation on the first day would be unfavorable, but he also did not expect the Far Eastern army to be so undefeated and defeated so completely. But at this time, it is useless to flaunt your foresight, and the chatter claims, "I said it a long time ago...", are even more annoying. Historically, sorcerers who prophesied ominous fortunes were to be tied to a pillar and burned to death.

He shouted loudly and gave all kinds of instructions: "Go back to your troops, count the casualties, and report them quickly." ”

"The commanders of the units will gather their troops tonight and call back the soldiers who have been scattered in the ranks. If a straggler from another unit is in his own ranks, he may be incorporated into his own ranks. ”

"The commanders of the units can act cheaply and select the right soldiers from the ranks of the civilian army to fill the casualties in the ranks. ”

"The medical soldiers of the Jīng Spirit Clan give the best treatment to the wounded. The wounded were taken overnight to the rear of the city of Kearney for treatment. ”

When the generals heard Zichuan Xiu's order, they seemed to have something to rely on, and they acted one by one as if they had just woken up from a dream. Around midnight, according to the information sent by the troops, Shirakawa roughly counted the casualty reports.

The heaviest casualties were Bran's First Legion, in today's daytime battle, the legion withstood the main offensive of the demon cavalry, and among the twenty teams, the four half-orc teams at the forefront were almost all wiped out, and the team could not even maintain its formation, so Zichuan Xiu had to order the revocation of the number of the unit, and the remnants were incorporated into the reserve. Most of the remaining sixteen teams also suffered more than half of the casualties, so they had to order some of the troops to be combined into new units. Of the twenty team leaders, six were killed and nine were seriously wounded. The number of dead in the regiment was probably around 20,000, and many more were wounded, which has not yet been counted. The casualties of the army of the snake clan and the dwarf clan on both wings were relatively light, and they also reached more than six thousand.

In the tent, in the dim light, looking at this casualty report, the faces of the generals of the Far East turned pale. With such a small amount of money that he had painstakingly built, he was almost defeated in one day. Is the rise and victory of the Far East just a flower moon in the water? Is it true that so many soldiers and horses, a thousand years of expectation for zìyóu, and the sacrifices of so many heroic warriors have all become like smoke and dust? The orcs are so anxious that they tear their hair and are so anxious that they are full of fire; the representatives of the other races are looking at each other one by one, and Ruzo of the Dwarven Race and Soth of the Snake Clan are complaining to each other:" It's all this idea you came up with to hurt us like this!"

"Shut up, you two!" Bran, the commander of the legion, who had suffered heavy losses, was furious: "At best, you two will kill each other! It's all your fault, if you listen to His Royal Highness the King of Light, nothing will happen!"

The two of them didn't dare to say anything. But after a while, Soth cautiously retorted: "Actually, our idea is very good, but today's commander (Vera) miscommanded and messed things up..."

The two orcs, Busen and Bran, stood up and pounced on the shameless fellow, and the snake clan's Soth let out a sharp scream: "I'm a member of the committee, you can't do this to me... Ouch!"

Shirakawa went up to persuade him to fight, and at the same time stomped on Soth's fingers wildly with his high root shoes. Soth screamed: "Ouch! Ouch! help!" Seeing this situation, the dwarf Ruzo, who was sad about the death of the rabbit and the fox, felt that he was in danger, and wanted to hide in the corner of the tent in shame, but found that the safe position had already been given to the representative of the jīng spirit.

When there was chaos in the camp, Shikawa Xiu walked in. Everyone looked at him with eager eyes: now, this young human general was everyone's only hope. He had just returned from inspecting the wounded ambulance camp, and his brow furrowed. Facing everyone's attention, he nodded lightly to everyone, sat down, and said strangely, "Vera didn't come to the meeting?"

Buson and Bran looked at each other: after the battle, Vera locked herself in the tent and never saw anyone. Everyone understood his feelings, and no one bothered him. Busen lifted the curtain and ordered the guards standing outside the door: "Tell the captain of the Vera to come over!"

Before Busen could sit down, Soth rushed to speak as if he was afraid that Zi Chuan Xiu would reproach him: "Your Royal Highness the King of Light, we all believe that your strategy is correct! ”

"It's late. We and the demon army are already facing each other," Zichuan Xiu replied expressionlessly as he looked at the casualty records, "Now, there is no possibility of escape. If we retreat, the demons will inevitably pursue, and our army will have to be annihilated. He closed the notebook and looked up, his eyes filled with deep weariness.

The people were silent. Outside the door, rapid footsteps sounded, and the guards opened the curtain and rushed in: "My lord!"

Busen scolded: "Don't you know the rules!

"My lord, Lord Vera has committed suicide!" the guard gasped.

Zichuan Xiuhuo stood up.
