Chapter 70

Hermione could never have imagined that she would not be able to hold out for even a day, and she would not be able to wait for reinforcements from the Eighth and Eleventh Legions.

Coming to his senses, he had recovered from the blow. In addition to continuing to feel sorry for his huge loss of property, how can there be no trace of remorse.

Being able to sit in the position of the commander of the First Legion and inherit the title of Grand Duke, Hermione is not stupid. It's just that the border has been peaceful for many years, and after a long period of peace, his psychology has become defenseless.

In addition, the power that covered the sky in Hurricane Pass and the First Legion made him addicted to goods and obscured his mind. All he was thinking about was looting gold, which made him lose his normal acuity.

Therefore, in the face of the offensive of the Fengdu Empire and He Ruhui's reminder, he would be so unwise, and he would only be full of gold and goods.

At this time, the heavy blow of the reality of the loss of all the net worth accumulated in Hurricane Pass and the almost total annihilation of the First Army finally made him regain his normal judgment.

Seeing that the first legion of hundreds of thousands of troops was left with the miserable and miserable tens of thousands of people around him, he regretted it for a while.

"Grand Duke, it's almost time to get to the Eighth Legion station!" The guards around him saw him wake up and hurriedly stepped forward to report.

"Well, the Eighth Legion!" the guard reminded, and he muttered blankly. Then, the terrible consequences of losing the army and the land came to mind in an instant.

At this time, all national interests, what wars were won or lost, and what empires rose and fell were all left behind. He Hermione is still that Hermione, and his selfish nature still prevails.

At this time, he ran to join the Eighth Army, and the responsibility for his defeat and loss of land was completely confirmed, and what was waiting for him was inevitably the attack of the political enemies of the imperial capital.

No, we must not join the Eighth Legion!

There was only one thought left in his mind, and then an even more insidious plan came to mind. As a feudal official, he should have the strategic vision again. However, his response was completely in the wrong place.

The Fengdu Empire is menacing this time, and it will never be satisfied with just one hurricane. So, what will the Fengdu people do next after occupying the hurricane pass without much effort? Ha, they must continue to go north. Perhaps, the eighth and eleventh legions that came to the aid were already in the plan of the Fengdu people.

If you don't make contact with the Eighth Legion, you bypass the Eighth Legion and go straight back to the imperial capital, or return to the fiefdom. So, what will happen to the Eighth Legion, which is stupidly waiting here!?

In the face of the strong attack of the Fengdu people, perhaps it is good for the whole army to be dispersed.

Then, if all the three major legions are defeated, won't their own guilt be much smaller. After all, the law does not blame the public!

In an instant, Hermione made the most advantageous choice for herself, and at the same time, the most unfavorable choice for the Black Pupil Empire.

"Order, bypass the Eighth Legion and march towards the imperial capital! Hurry, hurry, the people of Fengdu may be chasing after them soon. As soon as he thought of this, Hermione instantly regained his original momentum, stopped riding in the carriage, and took a war horse and stepped on.

"What about the inner men, the Grand Duke?" asked the guard, gesturing to the carriages behind him.

"They also got out of the chariot, and those who could ride on horses followed, and those who could not ride on horses followed... Leave them to their own devices!" Hermione's eyes narrowed, and she immediately made the decision to abandon them.

These family members are all the beauties he collected in Hurricane Pass, not his real family, although it is a little distressing to abandon, but under the consideration of the overall situation, it must also be abandoned.

At the sound of an order, these concubines, who were accustomed to being pampered, suddenly panicked. Where will they ride horses, the fate that awaits them seems to be doomed to a tragedy.

After a moment of crying and crowing, the remnants of the entire First Legion, led by Hermione, turned around and fled in other directions, leaving only groups of dumbfounded concubines and maids.

In troubled times, in the face of war, women are just victims.

However, under the pressure of survival, even a weak woman will change immediately. Knowing that they had been ruthlessly abandoned, and that there were upcoming pursuers behind them, these women also hurriedly ran towards the mountains and forests.

Unfortunately, they came to their senses too late.

Before they could writhe squeamishly, there was the earth-shattering sound of iron hooves behind them.

The vanguard knight army led by Zou Qi has already pursued.

"Haha, up, up, up, more than a dozen beauties!" These shouts are all knights' servants. Serious knights will never be so vulgar, but their lowly servants are a little happy on the battlefield. And in war, even the harshest knights turn a blind eye to such behavior. As long as it does not affect the overall situation, it is understandable that military discipline should be appropriately relaxed.

Hula, after the leading army of knights rushed over, a group of knights surrounded the more than ten women.

Then, the unexpected end befell these women.

The servants who had vented their animal desires, according to the practice of the battlefield, were ready to give these women a break, they had delayed time, and they had to chase the main force.

"Ah...... , don't kill me, don't kill me, I have important information, don't kill me!" One of Hermione's favorite concubines, and the most beautiful woman, waved her hand and shook her head in a panic after seeing several handmaidens being killed, and shouted pitifully with her hair scattered.

"Oh, what information do you have, hehe, sue sรน Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will spare you from death!

Several servants who had enjoyed her body next to her, when they heard the old oilman say this, they also sneered. Everyone knows that this old fritter is telling a lie, according to military regulations, you can vent your animal desires, but if you dare to march with a captive woman, you are looking for death.

But just because they know doesn't mean the woman knows. Hearing the words of the old oilman, her already desperate eyes instantly burst into hope, and she hurriedly told Hermione's movements as they were.

"Hey, I didn't expect it, I thought I would have fun out of the brigade, and when I go back in a while, it will be cost-effective for the adults to punish a few military sticks. It's time for you and my brothers to make a great contribution!Haha, your majesty's order is known to everyone, and you want to capture Hermione alive! Go, go back and tell the adults!" The old man and his gang of men were overjoyed when they heard this.

Then, Lao Youzi stepped forward and grabbed the concubine's messy hair, took out the dagger, and gave her a good time. In her blank, distracted, questioning gaze, the group drove their horses and hurried forward.

In the empty wilderness, there were only a dozen naked and scarred female corpses left.

......

The Eighth Army was stationed only half a day's distance from Hurricane Pass.

There is a battle at Hurricane Pass today, and black smoke can also be seen here.

However, in order to wait for the Tenth Legion, the Eighth Legion did not immediately come to the rescue. In the hearts of the generals of the Eighth Legion, there was no intention of making Hermione suffer.

Hmph, in the Imperial Legion, this Grand Duke Hermione always has a high-spirited face, which makes many people unaccustomed to it. This kind of opportunity to make him suffer is not easy to come by, and the big guys want him to make a fool of himself, and when it is almost over, let him ask for help a few more times, and then everyone can use the identity of the savior to trample on this His Excellency the Grand Duke Hermione fiercely.

As soon as they thought of the big men who were high in the past, looking at their faces with pleading faces, the generals of the Eighth Legion were extremely excited.

Therefore, regardless of the killing sound in the direction of the hurricane pass, they did not react at all. Even, because of being behind the hurricane pass, the Eighth Army did not even arrange basic defenses in order to pull out the camp speed.

The army led by Zou Qi did not see the remnants of the First Army defeated along the way, and when he was puzzled, he got the news of He Min's detour from below.

At this time, it was only more than ten miles away from the station of the Eighth Army. In order to expand the results of the battle, Zou Qi also had to give up to capture He Min.

The original plan was to drive the First Army Corps, and the defeated troops attacked the Eighth Army Corps, so they had to give up.

Hurriedly ordered, all the knights dismounted, the people silenced the horses, and rolled up the flag to collect the number. Under the cover of the darkening night, the army quietly approached the Eighth Army station.

Luckily, it is estimated that the Eighth Army is in the rear, and it never thought that there would be a surprise attack, so it didn't even arrange a mobile patrol post, so the Fengdu army approached 500 meters from the camp.

"Get on the horse, light the fire, sound the trumpet, put up the flag, and kill!" The distance of five hundred meters can completely allow the war horse to gallop, Zou Qi did not hesitate, turned over and got on the horse, drew his long sword, and swung it fiercely towards the enemy camp in front.

"Woo woo woo ......"

"Boom ......"

Accompanied by the long and tragic sound of the horn, the thunderous sound of horses' hooves completely tore through the fragile defense of the Eighth Legion of the Black Pupil Empire and killed it.

"Enemy attack! enemy attack!" ......it was only then that the night sentries shouted out in a mournful voice.

It was too late, and by the time the high-ranking generals of the Eighth Legion hurriedly dressed and rushed out of the camp, the camp of the Eighth Legion had been completely torn apart, and there were Fengdu knights slashing and killing soldiers everywhere.

The Knights, Mages and Warlocks directly under the Eighth Legion were the focus of the first round of raids by the Fengdu Knights.

Caught off guard, there was simply no time to organize any defense. The Eighth Legion, which numbered hundreds of thousands, completely collapsed, and screams were everywhere.

"It's over, it's over!"

"Let's go, let's go!"

The upper echelons of the Eighth Legion understand that no matter how capable you are at this time, you will not be able to save the Legion from the extinction.

The blazing camp reflected the hideous and excited faces of the Fengdu knights, and everywhere they were driving away the defeated soldiers and slashing and slashing.

In just an hour, the Eighth Army was completely dissolved, and the tide of defeated soldiers fled towards the rear with the officers who had fled in advance.

"Kill! Drive them to flee towards the Tenth Legion, quickly, kill all the enemies who stand in the way! Drive them to the west!" Zou Qi was excited, the vanguard elite army led by himself had already defeated the two legions of the Black Pupil Empire. According to the intelligence, the enemy's 10th Army is not far to the west, and if it blows its strength, it will be able to drive these defeated troops to attack the 10th Army at dawn tomorrow. The destruction of the enemy's three major armies in three battles, this kind of immortal feats, stimulated his heart to burn.

Needless to say, the generals of the knightly orders below all understood the meaning of this. Everyone organized the knights, fought hard to drive and chase down the defeated soldiers.
