The troops of several major families were ambushed, and they couldn't tell the location of each other, so they had to choose other than to flee along the way they came. The coalition forces of several major families lost hundreds of people in an instant, and thousands of people were wounded, and everyone did not dare to continue the pursuit, so they could only wait until after dawn.

After dawn, the armies of several major families reorganized their men and horses and continued to chase Marek's troops, but after chasing for a whole day, although they saw many traces along the way, they never saw each other's figures, and everyone knew that they had fallen for Marek. Marek has been in charge of the army for many years, and he knows that the people of several major families are eager to get rid of him, so he conveniently used the other party's eagerness to set traps all the way, and finally led the other party in the wrong direction.

At this time, it was impossible for several major families to turn back and pursue Malek, first, they didn't know where Malek had gone, and second, even if they caught up, they were afraid that they would be ambushed again, so they could only dispel this idea.

The leaders of several major families gathered together to discuss what to do next, now that Marek has run away, once the king knows about this, he will definitely start a war against the major families, and the only thing they can do is to return to the country as soon as possible and prepare to deal with the war with the king. Everyone lamented that they should not have listened to the king's instigation to participate in the invasion of Pesanis in the first place, knowing that this would be the case.

As a result, Pesanis did not fight, but he fell into a desperate situation, this deal is really a loss, and then he has to face the king's requisition, and it is difficult to say whether he can protect the interests of his family in the end. A few people secretly scolded themselves for being stupid, and they made such a stupid decision, it was better to rebel directly like the Elsira's family.

Several people discussed for a long time, and now their military rations could not support them for a few days, and if they could not find a base area, their army would probably face collapse. If you go east, you will reach Salem, the royal capital of Pesanis, which is heavily guarded by the Holy Army, who are not confident that they will be able to take the city of Salem.

If you go south, it will lead to Hironis, which will only get farther and farther away from the Correa Kingdom in the north, and Hieronis will definitely not allow them to pass, and now Hieronis and Pesanes are in the hands of the Holy Cult Army, and going south is self-defeating. Of course, everyone also considered returning directly to the north, fighting the Holy Cult Army again, and forcibly breaking through the other party's blockade.

However, the distance to the north from this place was relatively long, and the supplies they carried could not last that long, so after thinking about it, they decided to lead the army to the west, passing through the kingdom of Krisan and then making a detour back to Correa. Although there is also a Holy Cult Army in the Krisan Kingdom, the war there has just ended, and the country is still in great chaos, so maybe they will have a chance to take advantage of it, so the next course of action has been decided.

The next day, the armies of the great families set out for the west, and they plundered all the way to replenish their rations, but because of their bad reputation, the people along the way had already fled cleanly, and even the villages were empty. Barely able to support Pesanes' western nationality, this army was already exhausted, and it was at the end of its crossbow.

The leaders of several major families had no choice at this time, even if it was Longtan in front of them, they could only break through. After resting for the night, the coalition of several major families led their troops across the border and into the kingdom of Krissan. Not long after walking, a pass appeared in front of me, and I saw flags fluttering on the head of the city, and soldiers in bright armor were already waiting there.

Several clan leaders discussed it and decided to adopt the strategy of saluting first and then soldiering, and if the other party could agree to their passage, it would save the battle again. They sent a small team to negotiate, and although everyone knew in their hearts that this was extremely unlikely, they had to try before they were willing.

The team in charge of the negotiation came back not long after they went, and as expected, the other party refused their request in one mouth, and said arrogantly that if they had the ability, they would attack it, otherwise they would go back from where they came. When the chiefs heard this, they were furious, so they ordered their men to set up camp and prepare to attack the pass the next day.

After daybreak, the soldiers ate what little food they had left, and then summoned up the courage to attack the pass ahead. Because there were no ready-made siege equipment, they cut down trees overnight to make some ladders, and relied on extremely rudimentary tools to attack the pass.

Of course, they also knew that such equipment was too rudimentary, but it was only a small pass, not only were the walls short, but also could not accommodate many defenders. The Correa have always been brave, and as long as they attack fiercely, this small pass will not last long.

Thousands of soldiers carried ladders, shouted and rushed up to the pass, passing a dirt slope, seeing that the gate of the pass was in front of them, suddenly the gate opened suddenly, and a group of cavalry came out of the gate like a flood. Where could the besieging soldiers expect such a thing to happen, the other party would actually take the initiative to attack, and it was cavalry.

The soldiers besieging the city were rushed to the ground by the cavalry before they could react, and they threw down the ladder and turned around and ran, but how could the human leg be the opponent of the horse's leg, and they were quickly caught up by the opponent's cavalry, and then slashed and killed. Seeing this, the leaders of several major families hurriedly sent their cavalry to meet the battle.

When the other party saw the Correa cavalry rushing towards him, he immediately turned around and returned to the pass, and by the time the Correa cavalry arrived, there was no one left. Seeing this, several family leaders had no choice but to recall the cavalry, then reorganize the army, and send people to attack the city again, this time the cavalry followed closely behind the siege infantry to prevent the other side from sending cavalry to harass again.

This time, the other side did not send cavalry again, but set a fire, which set the entire pass on fire, and the raging fire reflected the sky red, making it impossible for people to get close at all, so they could only wait until the fire was extinguished before continuing the attack. By the time the fire was extinguished, it was already the next day, and the entire pass was burned black, and it was obvious that there was no one stationed there.

Correa's army passed through the pass and continued to advance, but after a short walk, they saw a large army waiting for them. This was the Third Army under Lyanna's command, and she had mobilized most of her main forces according to the strategy set out by Savan to stop the Correa Army from moving any further.

Correa was not frightened to see Lyanna's formation, on the contrary, they wished to defeat each other in a battle, and then they could continue to advance unhindered.

The two sides did not have the slightest intention of delaying time, and immediately set up a position, and a big battle was about to begin. At this time, Correa's army had more than 10,000 cavalry, in addition to 20,000 infantry, while Lyanna's army also had about 8,000 cavalry, and the rest was nearly 30,000 infantry.

With the sound of loud trumpets, the armies of both sides slowly advanced towards each other at the same time. The formations on both sides were almost identical, with cavalry in the center and infantry phalanxes on either side. The key to this battle is also the cavalry of both sides, only if the opposing cavalry is defeated, the flanks of the infantry phalanx will be exposed, and then the outcome will be determined.

The rumbling drums of war spurred tens of thousands of men forward, the weary Correa on one side and the Cult on the other, both eager for victory. For Correa, this is the last barrier home, and as long as they win this battle, no one can stop them from going home. And for the Third Legion of the Holy Cult Army, this is a great opportunity for them to make a name for themselves and build their fame.

The drums beat faster, the blood began to boil, the cavalry on both sides began to increase the speed of their horses, and an earth-shattering cavalry battle was about to begin. Since coming to Pesanis, the cavalry of several major families has not been given the opportunity to fully display their strength, and this time they want to let the Holy Cult Army take a good look at what a strong cavalry should look like.

"Kill, flatten them!" shouted Correa, clad in black armor.

"Long live the light! our army will win!" the white-armored Holy Cult Army responded with an equally loud shout.

The cavalry on both sides let out an overwhelming roar at the same time, and the black torrent and the white tide accelerated together, rolling up countless dust and rushing towards the other side.
