The Holy Roman Heavy Cavalry Cluster's pursuit of the orc warriors was not only ineffective, but was blocked by Elrens' dragon flames, resulting in many casualties.

Marshal Betty was furious, and seeing the cavalry cowering in front of the black dragon, he raised the staff in his hand, 'Gabriel's Might', which had been given by the Emperor to represent the marshal's power, with a gloomy face.

"I'm going to fight in person! No one is allowed to take half a step back and continue to rush forward!"

Betty shouted and rode out of the phalanx, a dazzling dark blue light shining from the top of the magic stone on the top of the scepter in her hand. Several great knights and the great magicians accompanying the army were afraid that the marshal would be injured by the black dragon, so they immediately followed. Led by the commanders, the Holy Roman army began to charge forward.

At this time, Elrens was blocking the HRE heavy cavalry cluster at the edge of the dense forest, and although the opponent fought bravely under the leadership of several great knights, he was not at all the opponent of the black dragon. He rushed around like a flock of sheep, and soon smashed the enemy's formation to pieces. However, just as he was showing his might, a thunderous roar suddenly came from afar!

"Sword of the Archangel!!"

Elrens was taken aback and quickly turned his head. I saw that the thick dark clouds in the sky seemed to be split by the light of the sun, and a huge lightsaber appeared from the center! This lightsaber concentrated the power of Betty and several great magicians beside her, surrounded by powerful lightning, and the center condensed the surging magic power, and in a blink of an eye, it crossed the sky and hit directly in front of the evil dragon! The unprepared Elrens was too late to dodge at this time, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and resist.

The lightsaber slammed in with a terrifying sound. 'Boom!' followed by a loud explosion, sweeping down a large area of trees at the edge of the forest. Elrens was also injured by the blow, and a bloody wound was cut open in the chest. Fortunately, the dragon's scale armor was extremely strong, so it was not injured to the core.

Looking at Marshal Betty, who had personally led the main force to cover the killing in the distance, Elrens was furious, and he wanted to avenge the blow immediately. But Betty herself is very strong, and there are a large number of great knights and archmages around her, even if the evil dragon is not careful, it is difficult to kill him lightly, if one is not careful. There is also the possibility of capsizing in the gutter. Thinking of this, Elrens had no choice but to grit his teeth and decided to follow the previous battle plan. Turn and retreat to the rear......

With the dragon holding off the enemy in the rear, the orc warriors had safely retreated some distance into the depths of the forest. It only takes a little more to keep the Holy Roman army in pursuit, as the depths of the jungle are full of treacherous environments and traps. There are even all sorts of ferocious poisons. Human armies are not familiar with the terrain and will never dare to venture deeper.

Betty was in a hurry, of course he didn't want to let this group of enemies who had burned a lot of his supplies retreat, so he ordered the cavalry to speed up from both flanks, and be sure to intercept the other side!

Due to the dense forest, Marshal Shinra could not see the situation ahead clearly. He couldn't help but be furious when he heard the dragon's groan, that hateful black dragon. Obviously, he had been repelled just now, but at this time, he turned back to be his enemy. Do you really think that the dragon is invincible in the world?! You must know that although the dragon clan is at the top of the biological chain and is extremely powerful, it is not completely invincible. A very small number of strong people of human beings or other races can reach the height of the dragon clan after long-term hard cultivation, such as the legendary magician Aristotle and other once-in-a-century geniuses can even surpass the dragon clan in strength.

Not to mention that the lone dragon is surrounded by a group of great knights and archmages, and it is sure that it will not be able to win. Of course, if the dragon is determined to escape, it will not be difficult to save his life with his super vitality, physical and magical resistance. And this is also the reason why the legendary dragon slayer hero and his companions have been able to succeed in the dragon's lair repeatedly, the greedy dragon is reluctant to give up the treasures they store in the lair, and is reluctant to run away at the beginning, but when they are beaten and seriously injured, they want to run but can't run.

Marshal Shinra sneered, if he was in a hurry, it would be fine, but this black dragon actually wanted to single-handedly take on a well-organized army, it was simply looking for death! Thinking of this, he raised his scepter and ordered loudly: "The cavalry bypasses the two wings and continues to pursue the enemy, and the black dragon will be dealt with by me personally!"

Several heralds were about to set off immediately, but at that moment, Betty, with her years of experience in warfare, suddenly felt a little uneasy.

"Wait!"

Marshal Shinra hurriedly called the herald back, and he frowned and thought for a moment, feeling that this was most likely a trick of the enemy. The black dragon was not a fool, how could he attack the entire army with his own strength when he was already wounded? What's more, he had heard that there seemed to be more than one black dragon in the enemy's army, and if there were two or even three black dragons in ambush in front of them, I am afraid that their cavalry would suffer heavy losses!

Thinking of this, Betty changed her mind, shook her head and said, "Forget it, the enemy has retreated into the dense forest, and it will be very dangerous if we continue to advance. Immediately order the cavalry to stop the pursuit and move closer to the center, and the troops will regroup on the spot!"

The marshal's order was quite timely, and not long after the Holy Roman troops began to move into the defense, several scouts rode from the front and rushed to Betty's side and shouted: "My lord! Our cavalry was attacked by the enemy's two black dragons in the process of shrinking, and suffered heavy casualties! Fortunately, they retreated in time, and now that most of them have retreated to their positions, the accompanying magician regiments on the flanks are responding with all their might, but I am afraid they are not the opponents of the black dragons!"

Betty gritted her teeth, and sure enough, the enemy set up an ambush. Fortunately, they retracted in time, and if they continued to advance lightly, I am afraid that the cavalry group would have been annihilated by the enemy's two black dragons by now.

At this time, several generals next to him came over: "Your Excellency, what should we do now?"

The marshal sighed, the current situation of the battle was obvious, they had lost the battle in this round, not only were they quite injured, but they also lost a lot of supplies. The enemy has retreated into the dense forest, and there is no telling how many ambushes there are ahead, so there is no point in continuing the pursuit in such a situation, and the safest thing to do is to retreat first, and then make plans after the rear support comes up......
