December 17, 835 in Julian calendar.

The cold cháo who was ravaging the land finally staggered away with a full sense of ambition.

Today is a rare day of good weather.

The sun is shining, the sky is clear and the view is good.

The warm sunlight shines on people, bringing comfortable warmth. Compared to the cold world of the other day, it has a very different feeling

However, the commander of the Semitic East Road Army, General Veraprani, could not warm up in his heart, but was cold.

He stood upright on horseback, looking out at the eastern horizon.

There, you can vaguely see dense flags like a forest, mighty and mighty, covering the sky.

It was the Vatino's Templar Legion and Lorraine's security forces.

The figures of tens of thousands of soldiers are like ants, and they fill the entire horizon, giving people a sense of endlessness.

Shocking~!

Veraprani was also a wise commander, and as soon as the battle off the coast of the Vatino ended, he learned of the annihilation of the Semitic expeditionary force that had arrived by sea.

Without the slightest hesitation, Veraprani immediately ordered his troops to begin their westward retreat

Reinforcements from humanity are about to arrive, and the Semitic expeditionary force has been wiped out by the enemy. In this battle, the balance of power between the two has changed decisively.

If you don't take advantage of now, retreat quickly. Once humanity has completely wiped out the expeditionary force by sea and freed up, it will be time to deal with itself.

If you don't leave now, when will you stay?

At that time, he also showed the courage and determination of a strong man to break his wrist, and immediately pulled out the camp. even reluctantly left a Jing Rui division after the break.

But it didn't take long. The human army that came out of the Vatino appeared in their rear, apparently. Whether it is the remnants of the sea expeditionary force. The division that he left behind has all become meat buns for dogs.

At the same time, it also made him faintly frightened in his heart: the remnants of the Sea Route Expeditionary Force, as well as a division and regiment, with nearly 10,000 people, did not stop Lorraine for half a day?

Just by looking at his defense, I already knew how powerful he was, but I didn't expect him to attack. But it's even more ferocious.

However, looking at the actions of the Terran army, it was not too imminent. Just fell far behind.

This worries Veraprani even more. It felt like they were like a boulder pressing down on their chests, and they couldn't breathe.

He knew that the reason why the humans on the other side did not attack was not because the other party was timid, but because they were waiting for an opportunity to bite to death.

Behind him, the Holy See Bayer Legion, like a deadly dagger, was slowly plunging into his heart.

The confluence of this army with the Holy See Bayer Legion is probably the time of his death and that of his men.

But the more this happens, the more cautious and slow he becomes. Because one is not properly coordinated. There was a slight confusion between the troops, and the enemy saw an opportunity. will pounce and bite yourself to death~!

This kind of riddle is extremely difficult for Veraplani.

If the whole army is ordered to retreat immediately and quickly, it is to seek death. A quick retreat, the slightest inappropriateness, will trigger a panicked rout.

The commander of the opposing legion is not a fool, as long as the time comes to attack with his army, it is estimated that the entire Semitic army will be wiped out immediately.

But if they kept marching so slowly, that is, waiting for the death of the Papal Army's Legion of Baier all the time behind them, their defenses would increase by one point with each additional day. My own back road will be blocked even more dead~!

When the time comes, the Bayer Legion and the Terran Legion on the opposite side will be flanked on both sides, and they will also end up with a total annihilation.

Thinking of this, Veraprani couldn't help but sigh helplessly: the army on the opposite side must be Lorraine. Only that kind of skilful commander would drive people into such a desperate situation.

I obviously underestimated this young man, and I also underestimated human beings.

"How did you end up in today's situation?" Veraprani looked at the dejected soldiers around him, and pressed his hand to his chest and asked himself: Obviously, last month, he was invincible all the way, and the soldiers pointed at him, and the human race was unstoppable, and he was advancing like a bamboo. All the way from Nantianmen to Penglai East Road...... Bah, all the way from Ryder City to Vatino.

Why is it that all of a sudden, the navy is gone, the reinforcements are gone, and he himself has suffered a big defeat, and the whole army has fallen into a desperate situation.

This qiē changes too fast~!

"Underestimated...... Veraprani let out a long sigh.

The most fundamental reason is because they are carried away by victory and despise humanity.

The undead high priest underestimated the enemy, the Semitic generals underestimated the enemy, and the Semitic soldiers also underestimated the enemy, and finally led him to take the initiative.

They killed all the way, and the humans fled all the way, which made the Semitic people have a timid and vulnerable mentality, thinking that as long as the Semitic soldiers rushed forward, there was no need to fight at all, as long as they shouted twice, the timid and cowardly humans themselves fled.

And that's exactly what happened...... Until...... Until they besieged the city of Delong.

"At that time, it should have been a steady and steady fight to pull out the city of Delong. Veraprani was annoyed that if he did it again, he would never hand over his back to that idiot De Rossi, and he would never be so big as to leave a nail in his back.

Veraprani wanted to tear Emperor De Rossi alive at this moment, and if De Rossi was in front of him, he would not hesitate to draw his knife and slash him.

Originally, even if he couldn't win, it would be no problem for him to retreat.

But De Rossi's defeat in DeLong City directly blocked his back path from the humans.

"How do I get out safely?" Veraprani frowned, thinking about it for the first time.

"War Fortress~!" suddenly heard a surprise shout from the soldiers next to him.

Veraprani couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly turned around and raised his head, looking at the sky.

I saw that in the blue sky, several black sè undead war fortresses were slowly landing.

The soldiers raised their weapons in their hands and let out a loud cheer, and for the first time, they realized that they were so fond of these abominable dark mages.

This is actually not surprising, although these big-headed soldiers are just cannon fodder. But they're not stupid either. They can also analyze the situation that is not optimistic. The most powerful weapon of the war fortress. Naturally, it became their only hope to get out of trouble.

But Veraprani secretly frowned. I secretly said in my heart: It's too little~!

There were only a few, not the two hundred, as he had hoped.

Veraprani had long considered using the War Fortress to cover his army's breakthrough, and even learned from Lorraine's super loser and directly used the War Fortress to airlift troops to evacuate.

He also made a detailed plan for this purpose, and sent it to the high priest for instructions when he had the opportunity.

However, he also knows that the chances of his plan being approved are extremely small. Semitic energy sources are scarce. It is simply impossible to transport troops by burning mana crystals like humans do, nor is it capable of transporting troops by burning mana crystals like humans do.

The black sè war fortress does not wait for the landing. Several figures flew out of it and landed directly in front of the banner of the Chinese army.

Veraprani jumped off his horse, bowed to the lichs on the other side, and said politely, "Is this Master Helord?"

"It's me. "Heylord the Lich was a little surprised, he didn't expect the king to know him.

Veraprani said with a smile: "We have long admired the great name, the deeds of the master, we are familiar with it, and His Majesty the Divine Throne once sighed, if his subordinates were all outstanding talents like the master, we would have won this war a long time ago." ”

"Yes. Kamiza once said so. Heyrod the Lich was overjoyed and realized his gaffe. couldn't help coughing lightly, then pretending to be modest, waving his hand, and said, "It's nothing, it's all for the great cause of my clan." Haha, hahaha......"

"It's a pity that the time is not right, otherwise, I would have asked the master for advice. Veraprani said sincerely with a regretful expression.

Heylord waved his hand and said, "Don't be busy, there will be opportunities in the future, His Majesty is very concerned about your situation with the king, and ordered me to come and have a look."

And here I would like to convey the support of the Divine Throne to you.

His Majesty the King xià has anything to need. ”

"I need reinforcements~!" Veraprani said without hesitation: "As many reinforcements as possible, the human army behind me has increased a lot in the past few days."

We estimate that there will be more and more in the future. ”

Heylord nodded and said, "His Majesty has ordered Emperor De Rossi to reorganize his army and come to reinforce His Majesty as quickly as possible. ”

Veraprani's face instantly turned hideous, and he gritted his teeth and said: "De, Luo, West~!"

He paused for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Master Mingjian, De Rossi has bad intentions, and he is the culprit who has fallen into a desperate situation.

I ask His Majesty to investigate him for the grave crime of escaping from the battlefield and delaying the military aircraft. ”

Helord was stunned for a moment, and then said in embarrassment: "Everyone is in the same camp, besides, the loss of Delong City also has various objective factors, and it is not only his responsibility." ”

Uncle Hai received a lot of real money and magic crystals from De Rossi...... And so on and so forth. Hylord also considers himself a particular person. When you take people's things, you naturally have to help people say some good things.

"Master, don't be deceived by him," Veraprani shook his head and said angrily, "De Rossi is a sinister and cunning villain, he will definitely not come to reinforce us." ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Hylord, and found that the light in the other party's eyes was staring at the sky in a daze, obviously not taking his words to heart.

He couldn't help but sigh, and then stopped speaking ill of De Rossi, that damn human boy was a good boy in the eyes of the High Priest.

Instead, his tone changed, and he said sincerely: "My lord, at the very least, we must also recall De Rossi and replace him with a Semitic general." ”

Heylord looked indifferent and said coldly: "I will convey the general's meaning to the divine seat, does the general have anything else to say?"

Although the two sides had only just met and had only spoken a few words, he was already extremely unhappy with Veraprani in his heart.

nǎinǎi, except for the high priest Divine Throne Majesty, who does things, can not make some small mistakes?

Although De Rossi did something wrong, wasn't it because there were various objective reasons?

And he has fully realized his mistakes, and in front of me he burst into tears, and made a very, very, very sincere, very, very profound review.

As a dignified emperor, you can realize your mistakes. And have the courage to correct their mistakes.

How rare such a talent is.

But you are good. People don't even have a chance to correct their mistakes. I really didn't expect it. The dignified Semitic generals are so narrow-minded.

Under irritation. Instead of being called His Majesty, Heylord was called General Veraprani, but the angry Veraprani did not notice this.

He frowned, and said in a deep voice: "The troops on the Western Front are simply not enough, there are 100,000 people in the Holy See Bayer Legion behind, if you want to withdraw along the way, we need reinforcements from the war fortresses, all the war fortresses~!"

Hylord nodded. Said: "What the general said is reasonable, I think the god seat will agree." ”

"That's good news," Veraprani said with a sigh of relief, "and there's also the fact that some troops from the Kingdom of Kiel have come south to reinforce us. ”

Helord shook his head and said, "The Kingdom of Kiel is too far away from here, and it will take a month for the troops to be transferred alone, not to mention that they are opposite the 300,000 Rumandi ** team. We must hold them back, or Orlandini's northern army will be in danger. ”

"I don't ask for much," Veraprani said precipitously: "As long as there are six divisions, I only need six divisions and regiments will be enough." What is lacking can be made up for the time being with a human army that has taken refuge.

With the help of the war fortress, we have no problem holding out for a month. When reinforcements arrive, we can easily get out of trouble. ”

Helord thought for a moment, felt that what he said also made some sense, and said, "I will truthfully convey the general's words to the gods." ”

Veraprani bowed deeply to Hylord and said, "I'll ask the master as soon as I get it." We can't afford to lose on the Western Front, otherwise humanity will be able to hit Ryder City in one go. ”

Helord came and went as fast as he could, and flew back with a few plans drawn up by Veraplani to ask the High Priest to decide.

Being able to get in touch with the rear shocked the morale of Veraprani and the Semitic soldiers, and rekindled their confidence that at least the High Priest of the Undead hadn't forgotten about them and was still trying to save them.

Encouraged by this belief, the Semitic army relented and continued to move westward, the farther west they went, the closer they were to reinforcements.

But what should come is always coming.

On this morning, a troop of Semitic scout cavalry galloped cautiously through the wilderness, keeping an eye on the wind and grass on the side of the road.

This is human territory, and it has not yet been included in the effective control of the Semitic people, human guerrillas are everywhere, and the bandits and robbers will also come out to make a cameo appearance as a big man with a beard full of chest hair, holding a big knife more than a foot long, and shouting: 'Do the right thing for the sky', or 'I will punish you on behalf of the moon~!'

It was a dangerous place for the Semites.

Sabers hung in the most comfortable positions, and some of the cavalrymen had their crossbows in their hands, carefully observing the villages and woods in the distance.

Thanks to the benefits of withering vegetation in winter, the wilderness is clean and clean, and there is no place to hide people.

But these Semitic cavalry were still very careful, calculating the time, they knew that they were about to encounter the Western Holy See army, which was no less numerous than them.

And the facts have proven that it is wrong to despise the legions of the Holy See, and to pay the price in blood.

"What's that?" Someone with sharp eyes suddenly noticed a few moving white dots in the distance.

Everyone immediately looked in the direction he was pointing, and a cloud of smoke and dust rose up behind Bai Sè's figure, and it was obvious that it was also a group of cavalry.

And the cavalry of the Bright Sect is dressed in a white sè burqa, which is also very easy to identify.

"People of the Holy See, rush forward~!" the knight who led the team shouted, kicking his horse in the belly and galloping wildly, their scouts not only wanted to see the enemy appear, but also to find out where the enemy's large army was.

They were soon spotted by the papal cavalry on the opposite side, and the smoke and dust that the cavalry threw as they galloped wildly was very conspicuous.

In a few minutes, the soldiers on both sides clearly appeared in each other's field of vision.

The number of the papal cavalry was about half a team, a dozen men, less than half of the Semitic cavalry, but they still rushed forward without fear.

Suddenly, a red ball of light rose from the Holy See cavalry, and with a sharp whistle, it rushed straight into the sky, and they were signaling the people behind them, apparently there were people behind them.

The captain of the Semitic cavalry realized that something was wrong, roared angrily, raised his saber high, and shouted: "Kill them all, and don't entangle with them." ”

The horse sped up again, and the rapid hooves of the horses brought a rumbling sound. The howling of the cold wind sounded in the knight's ears.

After a few breaths. Both sides could already clearly see the faces of the people on the other side.

There was a shout from the cavalry ranks of the Holy See: "For the light." Kill the demons~!"

Their cavalry roared in unison, and rushed forward with their spears and sabers raised.

Dozens of knights on both sides collided at high speed, spears broke, sabers slashed on armor, the wails of war horses colliding, and the roars and screams of soldiers rang out at the same time.

In the blink of an eye, two groups of cavalry staggered by, leaving a dozen corpses and fallen horses in the middle.

The papal cavalry was instantly half less human. But they quickly turned around, regrouped and glared at the Semitic people opposite.

The white robe of the captain in the middle was splashed with eye-catching red bloodstains, he raised his saber and pointed at the Semitic people, and shouted bravely: "For the light, charge~!"

Then, he suddenly rushed over at a high speed.

The Semites knew that they had met an opponent today, and this was the first time they had met such a brave Templar of the Holy See.

"Rush~!" The blood in the heart of the Semitic cavalry captain was also aroused, and he roared loudly and brandished his bloody saber to meet him.

Both teams of cavalry accelerated. Then they collided with each other, and the sound of steel and ** colliding sounded again.

The two sides staggered. More than a dozen knights tumbled from their horses to the ground, and the ground was stained with blood.

At this time, there were only three cavalry members left in the Holy See, but they turned their horses' heads again, shook off the blood from their swords, held their weapons tightly, and stared at these Semitic people, without any intention of retreating.

The horses under their crotches spewed a cloud of heat, and the horses' hooves dug the ground, ready to run as fast as they could.

Just as the captain of the Semitic cavalry was about to charge again and completely kill the remaining three papal cavalry, at this moment, a loud and loud horn sounded from behind the papal cavalry.

A column of knights suddenly appeared on the hill in the distance, they stopped their horses on the top of the hill, overlooking the battlefield from afar, and the cavalry in the middle held high a large white background gold sè cross flag, and the wide banner was waving in the wind.

"Dut...... Hmm~!" A high-pitched trumpet sound.

Hundreds of horsemen rushed down the hill with a shout and rushed towards the Semitic cavalry.

The Semitic cavalry captain quickly called the name of a soldier and ordered him to turn around and go back to report the news, as can be seen from the banner of the Holy See, the other side should be a division, which means that the main force of the Baier army has arrived.

Then, looking at the back of the cavalryman who was crying and leaving, the cavalry captain regrouped his team, glanced at his comrades beside him, brandished his saber and slashed it, the spurs were fiercely pressed against the horse's belly, and he rushed forward with a neighing shout......

Informed of this, Veraprani quickly retracted his forces, seized the nearest town, dug trenches, and built camps and fortifications.

To his east, the Papal troops, who had been following them from the Vatino, also stopped, camped miles apart, and the soldiers marched out in formation, facing off against the Semitic army.

A few hours later, in the setting sun of the winter sun, the Beyer legion, led by Cardinal Sandos, appeared on the horizon in the west.

One hundred thousand Holy See soldiers were divided into three groups, lined up in a dense phalanx and slowly advanced towards the Semitic people, and the figure of Bai Sè covered the ground.

"Knock, knock~!"

The low, majestic sound of war drums sounded, and the heart-stirring drumming reverberated through the wilderness.

xxxxxxx

The red sè maple leaf banner hunts and dances wildly in the wind.

The blue flag of the United Nations and the Holy See gold flag stand side by side on either side of the maple flag.

Under these three banners, which symbolize the three powerful forces of the human world, the god Vabador, dressed in a straight military uniform and carrying five gold stars on his shoulders, calmly watched the Templar Legion of the Holy See walking by.

Behind him, the staff officers of the United Nations were quickly reporting on the situation on the mainland, and the heralds of various uniforms were shuttling back and forth in the ranks.

In the impression of the world, it seems that it is difficult for Vatino to be associated with Maple Leaf Danlin, and even if there is, it is a battle similar to "bald donkey, don't rob the girl with the master~!".

You must know that the two sides have a history of thousands of years when they don't like each other, and this is a glorious tradition left over from the era of the Three Sages.

Not to mention having the legions of the Holy See appear under the banner of the Maple Leaf Danlin.

But this is exactly what happened in front of him, Vabador commanded the army of the Holy See, and these Knights of the Templars now belonged to the Maple Leaf Danlin.

These troops were part of the 200,000 Templars that Lorraine had promised to lend to Maple Leaf Danlin in exchange for a wing of war fortresses to defend the sky above Vatino.

In the middle of the Holy See legions, there were wagons full of supplies, and on the roof of the carts, a group of mages and priests sat cross-legged, giggling and unorthodox.

A huge procession was stepping past a boundary monument with a line of large letters clearly engraved on it, "Kingdom of Kiel". (To be continued.) )
