After a brief hesitation, Asriel finally gave up the chance to kill Edward - not because he feared that the army of Hantu would take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the Blue Wolf Clan, but if that did, it would have brought the battle to a quicker end.

What really worried him was whether these Turin knights would launch an attack on Eagle Fall - now the warriors of the Blue Wolf Clan around him were also suffering heavy casualties and were on the verge of limiting, even if there were only a few hundred cavalry, it would be enough to completely turn the tide of the current stalemate!

What's more, even if a person like Edward is close to the point where the lamp runs out, it is definitely not something that can be easily killed. Asriel would never do anything that he was not sure of, even if that was very unlikely.

Never take your enemies for fools and fools, but don't be afraid of their power - if Asriel learned anything from Berion, a father who would never admit him, it was this.

It is precisely because of this that he wants to unite all the war tribes and clans in the eastern part of the Hantu, and challenge the Duke of Hantu City and the Kingdom of Turin with a posture that the entire Hantu has never had before-do his best, find all the strength he can find, defeat the most powerful enemy, and always believe that he will win!

Asriel firmly believes this, because if he doesn't believe it, there will be no second person in the land who has been defeated, slaughtered, and enslaved by the Turineites again and again for three hundred years, and he must always give them the hope of victory, and the premise of all this is that he will not die, but must live.

In the current situation. Even if he captures the Eagle's Fall Mountain, he will definitely not be able to defend it - rather than holding on to a mountain peak that he can't keep at all. It's better to give up on this place altogether. Re-choose the battlefield and the timing of the war. I haven't lost this battle yet!

But understanding does not mean that the order can be fully executed. When Asriel gave the order to retreat, not only those warriors, but even the blood wolf cavalry around him looked unwilling—why retreat at this time, even after a bloody battle all night, with so many casualties, and the enemy was almost finished?!

"Please give me a chance, I will definitely send the head of this Turin dog to you!" The blood wolf cavalry waved the battle axe in his hand with an indignant face: "We haven't lost yet, the victory belongs only to the blue wolf clan!"

Asrael gave him a cold look. The black pupils exuded a creepy aura, and before the Blood Wolf Cavalry could lower his head, the shiny Dominic scimitar had already been raised—by the time he could react, the scarlet knife had already fallen, and all he could see was his headless corpse gushing blood and falling from his mount at the last moment.

The surrounding blue wolf warriors all shuddered, watching the expressionless Asriel gently shake off the blood stains on the blade, and said lightly: "I said, retreat." ”

The blue wolf warriors finally did not dare to hesitate any longer, and the desolate sound of the horn echoed halfway up the mountainside of the Eagle Fall Mountain. And the unwilling roar and roar, the scattered blue wolf warriors were like wounded beasts. Constant roaring.

"Don't think you've won, Edward Witwood - this battle is where the battle begins. Asriel, who turned around, still stared coldly at Edward, who was still standing there: "What I said, it will definitely come true, but sooner or later!"

"I promised you that I would do it. Edward smiled nonchalantly: "On this eagle fall mountain, sooner or later there will be a tombstone of the king of the earth-again, it's just a matter of time!"

"I hope you'll be so arrogant then!" said the young Great Chief, who stopped and rode the burly blood wolf towards the foot of the Eagle Fall Mountain.

The warriors of the Blue Wolf Clan, which spread over the hills, slowly retreated from the slopes like a tidal wave, leaving countless bones and traces of blood - as if in the dazzling morning light of the rising sun, these once proud and fierce barbarian warriors even discarded their weapons when they broke up, and even threw their booty on the slopes of the hills.

The sound of the horn in the distance became clearer and clearer, and even the loud sound could be heard in the barracks of the Battle Banner Legion - under the morning light, all the soldiers of the Battle Flag Legion who could still stand, stared blankly at the ruined barracks around them, the trenches full of corpses, and the brief silence condensed in everyone's hearts.

The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and the golden sun was slowly rising from the other side of the mountain, shining the sun all over the land. The turbulent water of the river is still clear and transparent, and the battlefield filled with smoke and dust seems to be dyed with a glorious color under the morning light.

I don't know where it started...... But when the first soldier collapsed to the ground, holding his head and crying, all the soldiers of the Banner Regiment who were still alive on the hillside hid their faces and wept loudly.

Not for victory, not for the sake of the dead brethren, nor for any glory, nor for the kingdom, nor for the dignity, nor for the spirit...... It has nothing to do with all this.

They survived, but many more were already dead, so they wept.

Looking at the military camp that was about to turn into ruins, the battlefield full of robes and bones, and the blood stains covering the entire land...... The mournful cry, which obscured all the glory and slogans, became the only sound on the mountain where the eagle fell.

"Take the brethren to clean up the battlefield and collect the bodies of the fallen brethren - even if there is only one finger left, get them back for me. Edward patted Repcinus on the shoulder a little stiffly, the armor on the chief centurion was already tattered, but he still held the Blood Cross battle flag tightly: "Don't cry, we are the ones who win, and they should be the ones who cry!"

"All the remaining salaries shall be paid, and all the exploits of the war shall be recorded, whether dead or alive, and the reward shall be given to everyone. I promised them, and I will do it!"

"Yes!" Repinus, who was silently weeping, stood up and left with a few standard-bearers. Edward, stumbling on his feet, watched him leave, and only then did he turn around and walk towards the petite figure that was always behind him, until the back of the chief centurion was completely gone.

"Edward!"

The blonde girl with a crying voice was held in the arms of the black-haired knight, her delicate body seemed to be about to be crushed, and her little head rested on his shoulder, still sobbing.

"We won, Edward, we won, didn't we?"

"That's right, we won, Asriel has already escaped with his doglegs, and they never have a chance to come back. Edward kept gently patting the girl's back: "He has been completely defeated by us. ”

"You're lying to me again!" Obviously still crying, Alan couldn't help laughing, but the smile looked so happy: "I know, this battle is far from over - the Blue Wolf Clan still has an army of 300,000, we have to wipe them all out, don't think I'm stupid!"

"How could I possibly take my dear little wife for a fool? This battle is over, and I didn't lie to you. Edward gently put his arm around the girl's shoulders, his black eyes meeting her, "Why would that bastard want to take the Eagle's Fall Mountain so much, why do we want to defend this place at all costs?"

"The reason is very simple, because as long as we hold here, we can control the initiative of the whole battle - whether it is offensive or defensive, it is under our control, and no matter which blue wolf clan we choose, we must deal with it passively. ”

"So important...... Wouldn't whoever takes it win the prize?"

"That's right, so now we've basically won. Edward smiled wearily, "He's either going to fight to the death now, or he's going to have to go back to their cold, dark eastern home!" )
