"Bastards! Hold me back! You greedy for life and afraid of death! No one is allowed to run away in advance! Assemble and retreat slowly!"

The Eastern Roman general Leitos was furious, and he shouted loudly, trying to gather the warriors who were on the verge of collapse in the slaughter. At this time, he also realized that it was impossible to win if he continued to fight to the death, and once the formation collapsed, it would definitely end up with the entire army annihilated! In order to reduce the losses, he could only find a way to lead the army to retreat slowly.

Leitos felt bitter, this rebellion was provoked by his plundering of Chryses, the high priest of Apollo, and had left a bad impression on Lord Narsis. And now that he has been defeated in the counterinsurgency, how should he explain to the adults?! I'm afraid that even if he can escape by chance, his future will be completely ruined!

However, misfortune did not come alone, and just as he was struggling to hold on, a very loud trumpet suddenly sounded from the direction of Troy City in the distance. Then the earth rumbled and trembled, as if the sound of ten thousand horses galloping and killing came out!

Leitos turned his head in astonishment, and saw smoke and dust billowing up in the distance, and he could tell without asking that this was the sound of a large number of cavalry troops approaching at high speed......! Where the hell did the army come from?!

An Eastern Roman scout rode from behind, shouting as he ran: "General, the Trojan Guards are attacking!

This is really a strong enemy in front and pursuers in the rear, and even a retreat cannot be done! Just when Leitos had nothing to do, the rear of the Eastern Roman formation was already filled with screams and cries for help. It was clear that the enemy's Praetorian cavalry had already been killed behind him. The chaos spread rapidly, and soon the position he had struggled to hold on to was no longer sustainable.

Faced with a desperate situation, the terrified Eastern Roman soldiers could not help but think of the vast amount of treasure they had looted in the barracks. Once you die in battle, there is nothing. Only by surviving can you have a chance to live a prosperous life!, and the soldiers began to flee in all directions, and Leitos shouted loudly, doing everything in his power to maintain the formation, but to no avail. Due to the long period of looting, the military discipline of the Eastern Roman troops had become sloppy, and they did not listen to orders at all. They all care about running for their lives!

Leitos was so angry that he had no choice but to retreat with the crowd himself. And yet at this very moment. He felt the sky suddenly darken, his heart tightened, and he quickly looked up, only to see a huge star-shaped arm appear above his head at some point. The gesture is about to shoot down. Leitos was so frightened that it was too late to escape!

I could only hear the sound of 'bang!', and the arm of the Colossus of Milos was violently slapped down, and before Leitos's screams could be made, even the men and horses were crushed into meat sauce, and a large amount of blood splattered from between the Colossus's fingers! The Eastern Roman soldiers who were still resisting around saw the tragic death of the commander, and immediately lost their worst confidence and dropped their weapons and equipment one after another. Scattered in a hurry......

Under the joint strangulation of the aristocratic private army led by Oni and the Trojan Guard under the command of Jolle, Chryses, the Grand Prince Hector and others, the 5,000 Eastern Roman troops were soon completely dispersed.

After a short hunt. The two armies, nearly 10,000 men, joined together and marched towards the fortress of Abydos, the seat of the great camp of the Eastern Romans. At this time, Narcissus had already led the main Eastern Roman army to rescue the city of Nicaea, and the Eastern Roman army left here became empty of defenses. Along the way, Oni and the others destroyed several enemy forward positions one after another, and soon came to the bottom of the fortress built on the cliff.

At this time, the Eastern Roman general Mendez had already learned of the enemy's killing and was arranging defenses in front of the fortress. Due to the lack of remaining troops, he withdrew most of the troops on the periphery of the fortress for the sake of prudence, divided them into squads to defend according to the area, and at the same time sent people to report the situation to Narciss. Then there was an urgent inspection of the fortress's magic defense covers, magic cannons, heavy crossbows, trebuchets and other equipment, and a large number of stored ammunition and weapons were lifted out of the warehouse and placed on the high city walls. The army was heavily armed and heavily defended, waiting only for the arrival of the enemy.

When Mendez was finally busy, the enemy finally appeared on the distant land. The eyes of the Eastern Roman warriors widened, and in front of them were not only the Trojan Guards wearing black armor and riding black horses, but also an extremely large and strange puppet! This puppet was 100 meters high, covered with star-shaped markings, and extremely heavy, and every step made the earth tremble!

What made Mendez even more frightened was that among the clouds in the sky, there was a black giant beast that broke through the dense clouds, revealing its hideous appearance covered with sharp horns and scales!

"Oh my God!'s a black dragon!!"

Seeing this scene, Mendes couldn't help but exclaim. In the air battle on Delos Island a few months ago, he had also seen the power of the black dragon with his own eyes, when the Eastern Roman Floating Fleet had almost captured the floating island, but in the end it fell short due to the intervention of this monster, not only lost several main warships, but even the golden-robed archmage Narcisse was seriously injured, and finally escaped back!

What's even more frightening is that since then, this black dragon called Ellens seems to have grown stronger and more famous! It is said that in the recent Battle of Pera, he single-handedly defeated the seven Electors of Holy Rome and completely turned the tide of the battle!

Although the fortress of Abydos has been built over the years, the terrain is dangerous and the walls are very strong, and the protective shield and various weapons to defend the city are in the most complete condition. But the enemy's black dragon with such incredible power, coupled with the help of that unfathomable puppet, is really worrying.

Mendez gritted his teeth and shouted to the generals beside him: "Send someone to inform the magician group immediately, the enemy is very strong, no matter what, you must guard the protective shield!"
