354. Chapter 354
The noise and dull noise from the battlefield made everyone feel like they were grabbed by a giant hand. Sally looked at the team running desperately into the distance, and felt a little despair in her heart... Choosing to "escape" means that morale will inevitably fall to the bottom - no matter how many victories they had accumulated before and how strong confidence they had created in their hearts, at this moment, they all lost the courage to fight the enemy.
How could a team that was exhausted and without courage escape the more than 300 pursuers in the rear?
Just ran hundreds of meters, and when she looked back, Sally noticed that the enemy was accelerating... The approaching footsteps and horse hooves had already made Sally consider whether she should choose to divide a "suicide" team to cut off the rear. But before the order could be taken, the soldiers in front again came with a warning: "Captain! A large number of troops appeared in the left front..."
"What?!"
Sally stopped suddenly and looked to the front of the left side of the field of vision. She found that smoke and dust were rolling in the distance. An uncountable army was rushing towards the battlefield!
Escape from the encirclement, everyone thought that this was another enemy's unit at the first time, but when the horn sounded and several golden and red flags appeared in their sight, the soldiers who had lost hope exclaimed in an instant-
"It's reinforcements!"
"The reserve team is here!"
"Bless the Holy Light! Our reinforcements!"
Countless people breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. Sally looked at the reinforcements with some trance, but whispered: "They shouldn't have come as planned..."
However, such doubts were quickly submerged in the cheers of the soldiers, because the more than 300 enemies who were always chasing in the distance had stopped and began to retreat.
They are saved!
Sally understood that her team was out of danger - but because she had just escaped, almost all the equipment was discarded, and now the team's combat power has dropped to the lowest point. Because her physical strength is approaching the limit, she cannot choose to go back and continue fighting, so she can only order: "Continue to move forward and rest in the village ahead!"
Looking at the large number of reinforcements in the distance that had already rushed into the main battlefield, Sally was not very happy, but frowned instead-
"This situation...is not right."
And just as she whispered this sentence, Roddy, who was in the smoke and dust hundreds of meters away, was cursing: "A bunch of idiots!"
He was so angry that he shouted this swear word in his robe.
Before joining the battlefield, Roddy understood that he could not have the power to command battles, so he was always in the middle and back of the team. As expected, no matter how many enemies there were on the front line, this mobile team could always find a suitable way to enter the battlefield and play a "decisive" role.
If there are not many enemies, they can attack directly and destroy the enemy's morale in an instant; if there are too many enemies, they can rescue the main force under siege and lead the troops to fight back.
But all of this was the action that Roddy would take only when he was the commander. At this moment, the bishop who commanded the team chose a decision that Roddy thought was extremely stupid: when he was still two kilometers away from the enemy, he suddenly ordered the entire army to press forward and accelerate and start charging!
It is obvious that the bishop has no experience in large-scale combat, or he does not have enough psychological qualities: when he sees the main force of the "Rose Cross" being besieged, he wants to rush forward to rescue the siege at the first time - although this idea is good, in fact, he ignores the two most taboo issues on the battlefield, "long-distance charge" and "no reserve attack"!
The soldiers were physically limited, wearing armor and holding weapons, and after running for two kilometers, they would definitely run out of physical strength and not have much combat strength left. The behavior of "not leaving reserve teams" is even more stupid, because this means that once there is a change, there is no room for response!
Roddy shook the whip hard, and in the smoke-filled queue, he had no weight to speak at all. When he was about to go to the bishop to argue, he found that the other party had long been hiding somewhere...
However, the reinforcements finally played a certain role: the "Virida Cross" was completely scared by more than 2,000 people killed in the diagonal stabbing. The troops attacking from behind often had a fatal blow. Therefore, these pagan rear troops were instantly hit!
And their original siege also showed a large gap due to the shrinking line.
As expected, as long as this reinforcement army can defeat the enemy's main force, it can contact the core of the besieged "Rose Cross" and lead a Jedi counterattack!
However, the expected "crunching" scene did not appear. Although the exhausted reinforcements desperately waved their weapons and released their magical skills, the entire team had lost all their strength on the two-kilometer road. At this time, the attack power was sharply reduced like a blunt knife. It was actually unable to defeat the enemy's main force, but instead they were stalemate!
"Tm is really a teammate of pigs!"
Roddy covered her face in pain: In his opinion, this support operation had basically lost the opportunity to counterattack due to the commander's stupid order!
But he could not leave at this time. After confirming that Mogra Village was not involved in the war, he still did not determine where Sally was. Now the only way is to rush into the besieged team and ask in person...
Roddy rushed into the gap in the encirclement and then plunged directly into the scattered main legion of the "Rose Cross"—
"Does anyone know where Captain Sally is?"
Riding on a war horse, he shouted and asked Sally about whereabouts between the teams, but because most of them had just walked out of the forest, they had never determined their locations, so Roddy's question never got an answer.
This situation made Roddy's tense face become more gloomy. After repeated disappointments, a thought that gradually emerged made him feel cold - would she already...
"Nothing will happen, nothing will happen..."
Roddy grabbed the short bow on the side of the saddle and forced the messy thoughts down.
The soldiers around were getting denser, and Roddy simply jumped off the horse and grabbed one by one and asked one. Fortunately... his question finally got the answer... A soldier who was stopped by Roddy replied loudly: "I just saw Captain Sally successfully breaking out, and now he should have escaped from the encirclement..."
"real?!"
Roddy took a deep breath and a huge rock finally fell in his heart. However, before he could even feel any joy in his heart, he found that the entire sky had become dark in an instant!
"What's going on?!"
"What's this?"
The screams of surprises around him made the team even more chaotic. The soldiers looked up at the sky, and then saw purple smoke falling from the sky...
These purple mists instantly arrived on the fierce battlefield, forming sixty or seventy huge "shadow guards"!
"Level 4 Guard? Advance to Level 35 Dark Pastor?!"
Roddy frowned immediately. He knew the strength of this level of "Shadow Priest" - although he defeated a rival like Magda who advanced to level 30 or above, "Ranger" and "Shadow Priest" are completely different worlds. The horror of the magic system after level 30 can only be understood by personal experience. Roddy knew... Faced with such a powerful clergyman and thousands of enemies, he could not change any battle situation at all.
He looked around and said that the "Rose Cross" had reinforcements joined, and the subsequent battle could ultimately avoid being completely wiped out. Now, Roddy believed that he had done everything he could do - he was unable to stop the enemy's attack, and he could not change the idiotic orders issued by the commanders of the "Rose Cross".
Not afraid of godly opponents, but afraid of pig teammates. This is the true portrayal of Roddy at this time.
