Chapter 45 First Defeat
Chapter 45 First defeat
Sitting behind Murray, I grabbed the protruding object on Murray's armor tightly, surrounded by a large number of elite soldiers. The first failure was so miserable. This was a big blow to me, but it would never affect my fighting spirit, because my soldiers were not seriously injured. Except for some slave soldiers who were not good at equestrians and were dismembered by the berserkers because they fell off their horses, there were no other casualties. Even the three brigades sent to harass the berserkers were unable to find a good opportunity to attack due to the sudden acceleration of the berserkers, and finally luckily escaped the disaster.
A nearly kilometer-long line of fire did not cause much trouble to the strong and crazy warriors. They rushed over easily from the fire, which only caused them to lose some of their hair and animal skin coats.
After chasing us with their feet for thousands of meters, the guys who approached the beast stopped one after another. Looking at the raging fire in the distance, I swear that I will stand up wherever I fall. You have strong bodies and speeds of running horses, but you are still approaching humans, and you are still killed by my giant crossbow. Wait, you barbarians, just give me a night, and I can let you taste the amazing things again.
When we came to the gate of the camp in a panic, Sac's face was almost dazzling. It is conceivable that he was worried about the whereabouts of the catapults and crossbows.
"What's going on? Why are you guys back? What about the catapults and giant crossbows?" At the end of the day, Sac was almost yelling at Murray.
"Sir, the catapult and the giant crossbow were all..."
"Mr. Sack, don't worry. Those catapults were forced to give up when we were attacked by strong enemies, but when we retreated, we had already removed all the main parts of the catapults and crossbows. In the end, we burned all the equipment with fire. I think it would be impossible for the enemy to copy the same equipment." Hearing Sack's angry voice, I was afraid that Murray would not be able to speak clearly or speak nonsense, so I immediately took the conversation.
"It's amazing! Just because you met a strong enemy, you gave up such an important equipment from the Empire. I see so many of you, although they ran away in a mess, they didn't look like they were fighting against the enemy. Did you run away as soon as you saw the enemy? Or did you escape at the last moment? Oh... the Empire is above, are you all deserters? Lord Sak, how should deserters be punished? You know the most..." A cold voice rose from behind the generals. Without looking at people, I knew it was the bastard who was pushing the wind and helping the fire. Damn, I will never finish it with you in the future...
"You...you're talking nonsense..." The commander of the division, who was flushed with his face, shouted, and rushed towards the villain with a steed step.
"Morry, stop!" I hurriedly called the stupid big man, thinking about the attention he took me to escape when he retreated. I couldn't let him be caught by someone, uniting all the potential enemies that can unite and attack myself. This is a famous saying.
"Sir, when we were attacking the Wilderness City, we encountered a division of berserkers behind us. Do you think we should retreat when we were attacked from both sides?" Although the army in the city and even the magicians beat us up at that time, exaggerating the enemy's strength can make us more reasonable reasons for retreat, not to mention that we were indeed in the situation where we had to retreat.
"Berserker of 1 division..." Almost all the army commanders present took a breath. If anyone knows the strength of the Berserkers best, then the Casdek Empire soldiers who border the Senke Federation are undoubtedly the first choice.
"How is this possible? The Berserkers have always been the strongest and last powerful combat force of the Senke Federation. Haven't they been stationed in their capital? How could they appear here? If you are defeated, don't you have to make such excuses? Lies about military information are another death penalty..." Clad's gloomy voice came out again.
"Shut up, Hanlong and I go back to the barracks. The magicians and the soldiers of the Flame Legion are responsible for the alert. The commanders of the legions are also back with me, and the rest are on guard. Let's all disperse!"
"You said they died nearly a thousand people, and thousands more were injured?" After hearing my situation against the Berserker Division, Bavel first raised a question. But through his expression, anyone could know how happy he was.
"Yes, at least nearly a thousand people were penetrated by my crossbow and did not stand up again. In addition, at least 2,000 people were injured in different degrees of injuries. But you can also guess what the lightest thing would be to be hit by my crossbow arrow."
"Hahaha, we made a profit this time. Among these 2,000 wounded people, at most half of them were rescued by the magicians in their city, but at least 2,000 berserkers can be said to be finished. Hanlong, you said that as long as you have materials and soldiers, you can recreate so many, even more catapults and crossbows in a few days..." After hearing my explanation, Thacker's face, who had been pretending to be steady, also showed an ecstasy look.
"Sir, if those berserkers need to be saved by magicians, I think those berserkers will be very disappointed. While those berserkers attack us, I sent most of the magicians in the city to hell first, or they will wait for those berserkers on the road to the underworld..."
“…”
The cold scene was absolutely cold. The four legion commanders, a deputy legion commander, and the magician leader Wink all opened his mouth and couldn't say a word, his face full of surprise and incredible.
"You... what you said is true? Is the magician army in the Wilderness City just finished?" Wenk couldn't help asking, but his tone was so unsure. In Wink's heart, it was really hard for him to accept that the magician army was destroyed by such a heavy and inflexible weapon.
If a unit of hundreds or thousands of magicians was surrounded by tens of thousands of mobile light cavalry units, Wink would not have any questions. But now it is indeed difficult to move a group of catapults that are not easy to break through the magic shield, and the absolute attack power is eliminated. This inability to step makes him puzzled. Could it be that the magicians of the Senke Federation are standing there with the catapults, or do they not even escape?
"I think there will be more specific data in the Commander of the Murray Division. After all, at that time, we were smashing the dead, and they were left to the side to have fun. I think it would be easier for them to collect data than us. In addition, if the opponent's army does not launch an attack before tomorrow morning, then tomorrow, I may be able to severely damage those belliger troops. Look..." Thinking about the bear-like appearance when I ran away, I couldn't help but want to vent, and the best target was those belliger soldiers.
"Do you have confidence? Then it's decided. The legions prepare. If Hanlong and the magicians cannot effectively kill the Berserkers' troops tomorrow, then we are ready to retreat! Although our army's number is now equal to the other side, the other's Berserkers' troops are indeed not vegetarian. If we fight head-on with the other side, we will not only be sure of winning, but even if we win, then our own losses will be huge. Now, everyone should prepare, but don't let the following know our retreat plan to prevent it from causing a non-stop riot. Hanlong, please stay first, I have something to say to you."
After waiting for the others to go out, Bavel walked to the door and began to patrol around the tent, while Sach pulled me down and handed me something.
"No need to look at it. This is the logo of the division commander. From now on, you will no longer be an ordinary person. You are the division commander of the imperial legion and will soon be the nobles of the empire. As soon as you return to the imperial capital, I will immediately report to the military headquarters and ask them to receive titles for you." Seeing the idea of opening the box in my hand, Sak stopped me and promised me a message that would make me happy. That also means that after I arrive in the imperial capital, I will no longer need to bow my head to the so-called nobles or even kneel down.
"Well, your army, I will deal with it immediately after returning to the imperial capital. Now you will take those 4,000 generals first. Anyway, I will... Well, let's not talk about this anymore. Do you have any clues about how to deal with the Berserker tomorrow? If there is no chance, don't take risks. Anyway, with our current military strength, the troops of the Senke Federation dare not do anything to us..."
"Sir, I may not be able to destroy them tomorrow, but I will give them an unforgettable memory. In order to better complete the action tomorrow, I hope that the adults can help me collect some supplies..." After talking to Sach, Sach and I left each satisfiedly. Sach will help me collect the supplies I need, and I will supervise and teach the soldiers to make the items I need...
Hey, I’m very embarrassed. My friend is making the monthly ticket list. If you are willing, please give me a VIP monthly ticket. I’m not very grateful.
