Chapter 404: A crushing defeat!(1/2)
As the saying goes, a defeat is like a mountain. Even the most elite army will collapse like a violent tide at the moment of collapse. There is no possibility of recovery.
The rafts that had already crossed the river halfway began to row back desperately.
The most desperate ones were the thousands of Northern Principality guards who had boarded the river bank on Nalant's side. They started to retreat towards the river crying for their fathers and mothers.
But because there was no raft, it was not easy for them to evacuate.
Because many people couldn't swim, when they ran into the river in a hurry, they lost their balance and sank directly to the bottom of the river, and were then swept into the water.
"Is this...is this okay?" Faced with this situation, it only took a short ten seconds to go from the edge of defeat to the point of victory.
This made two rich country men, Boris and Rey, stunned.
"Kill! Boris, Rael, what are you two guys doing standing still? All the enemies will be gone soon. Don't you want the spoils?" At this moment, Nalant's angry shout was
The direct transmission woke the two of them up.
Now is a good time to completely defeat the enemy. As long as the speed is fast enough, the team of ten thousand people will no longer be able to counterattack.
Therefore, they must kill the enemy as soon as possible until the enemy becomes frightened and can no longer organize a counterattack.
"Oh! Yes, trophies, we need trophies! Kill!" Boris and Rael woke up one after another, and immediately raised their swords and began to call on their men to pursue the fleeing enemies.
When Stella saw Nalant leading his men and starting to cross the stone wall towards the other side, she did not hesitate to call the surrounding tulip guards to follow.
…
"Don't run! Don't run, stop! I'll kill anyone who dares to run!" Huck's eyesight was splitting at this moment. The situation of the battle, which was already a sure thing, turned around in the strange roar.
Although he was a little unsure in his heart whether it was the blessing of the God of Glory.
But as the commander, he couldn't let the guards be defeated, otherwise once the follow-up team was trapped, their team of ten thousand people would be completely destroyed.
However, all the guards of the Northern Principality were frightened out of their courage at this moment. Even if he shouted his throat out, it would be useless. He could not stop the thousands of defeated troops at all.
"Commander Harker, let's go quickly! The enemy is coming!" At this moment, Deputy Commander Court anxiously approached.
Court and others were luckier than the two captains on the bridge. They crossed the river on a raft according to their original plan.
When the raft was halfway through, they saw everything on the stone bridge.
Seeing that the situation was over and their guards abandoned their armor, they had no choice but to return quickly.
"Retreat? Where can we retreat? This time we have not completed the task assigned by His Majesty. How will we explain to His Majesty when we go back!" Huck said with red eyes.
"Captain Huck, if you don't leave, it will be too late!" Court knew that if he returned in defeat, he would definitely be held accountable by the king.
But now that the situation is over, if he continues to wait, he will be trapped in a tight siege. Moreover, the deafening explosion makes him feel a little afraid in his heart.
"No, Court, you run away! As the commander-in-chief, I, Huck, cannot complete the mission assigned by His Majesty. Even if I return with the remaining defeated soldiers, I will surely die, and even my family will be harmed!"
"The plan prepared by the principality this time is too important and grand, but some problems have arisen here. Even if the king can spare me, other nobles will not!" Huck shook his head and gave up the idea of escape.
"Quick, the enemy commander is over there, Big Stone, Raymond, you continue to chase the enemy, my lord, Stella Vivian and I will deal with that commander!" At this moment, Huck and others heard a message.
Came the cry.
It turned out that Narant and others had already crossed the stone bridge and immediately saw Huck, the enemy commander.
"Let's go, Court, and bring back more imperial warriors!" Upon seeing this, Huck immediately pushed Court away.
"Yes, Lord Commander!"
Court gritted his teeth and finally left without looking back.
Although he is the deputy commander, he has a count father. Unlike Huck, who was promoted from a commoner to the commander-in-chief, even if he will be punished when he returns, at least he will not die.
After Court left, Huck drew his sword and waited for Nalant and others to arrive.
"Are you the commander of this northern principality army?" Nalant and Stella came to Huck.
"Huck Rhine, Commander-in-Chief of the Third Regiment of the Royal Guards of the Northern Principality, which family are you from?"
"We are from the Tulip family, Mr. Harker. Now the defeat is determined. As long as you are willing to hand over the sword, we will ensure your dignity. If someone in your principality is willing to pay a ransom to redeem you, we will also let you go safely.
Go back!" Nalant responded to Huck.
"Haha, even though you defeated my army, you are just a junior silver knight and a bronze knight who want to capture me? You think too highly of yourselves!"
"I, Huck, swear not to be a prisoner! Come on, let's see if you have what it takes!" Huck said with a sarcastic look on his face.
"If that's the case, then I'm offended!" Nalant always looked down upon such a general who would rather die than surrender.
However, despite his high expectations, since he has chosen to be an enemy, he will not be merciful.
"Let's go together!" Nalant said hello directly to Stella and others without being verbose.
At this moment, the enemy army was defeated, and Catherine, who was originally guarding a group of serfs in the camp, also arrived at the scene. Nalant did not believe that with the strength of his three silver beginners plus Vivian, he could not solve this silver intermediate.
"Okay! Nalant, be careful!" Stella was the first to respond. As she spoke, she directly raised her thin stabbing sword and stepped out, taking the lead in attacking.
She didn't know that Nalant had broken through yet, so she thought that she was the main force at this moment, and she was naturally at the forefront.
"Stella, be careful!" Nalant did not dare to neglect when he saw this, and immediately followed her.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Then comes Catherine and Vivian.
Vivian directly attached the arrow.
Whizzing!
The next moment, arrows wrapped in red light appeared in the field.
"Is this an extraordinary archer?" Huck's original attention was focused on Stella and Nalant. When he saw the red arrow, his expression immediately became solemn.
At his current level, ordinary arrows no longer pose much of a threat to him. Not only can he easily dodge them, but even if he is hit, they will have no lethality as long as they are not in the eyes.
But the arrows of the extraordinary archer were not only extremely fast, but also powerful, and even he did not dare to ignore them.
when!
Huck directly drew his sword and blocked the whizzing arrows.
He blocked one of them, and casually relied on his body to dodge the third one.
However, in a blink of an eye, Stella's attack had already arrived.
"Blade of Frost!" The long sword in Stella's hand suddenly erupted with cold light, pointing directly at Huck's heart.
Huck was not afraid at all, he quickly raised his feet and took two steps back, and at the same time defended himself with the long sword in his hand.
when!
"Howling and slashing!"
Huck is worthy of being a silver knight. After blocking Stella's attack, he took advantage of the situation and knocked Stella's sword away. He then slashed with his sword horizontally, turning his defense into an attack, and struck Stella's ribs.
"Your Excellency, it is not good to bully a woman!" Just when Stella was about to retreat suddenly, Nalant was already approaching.
"Three flaming sword cuts!" Immediately, Nalant's long sword struck at Huck's long sword.
"Narant, be careful!" Stella was not surprised when she saw this, but her expression changed drastically and she warned Nalant.
At the beginning, Nalant couldn't even resist her attack. This intermediate Hack Silver level was even more difficult for Nalant to contend with.
when!
However, what surprised Stella was that as soon as she finished speaking, Nalant's sword steadily blocked Huck's blow.
Although it looks a bit strenuous, it is no weaker than her in terms of strength, and is even half as fast as her.
"Nalant, are you a junior knight of silver?" Stella's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.
"Hehe, yes Stella!" Nalant didn't respond and continued to attack Huck.
Stella pursed her lips slightly, her beautiful eyes flashed on Nalant's back for a moment, and then she joined the battle again.
Next, there was a situation where four people besieged Huck.
Originally, Huck thought that his intermediate silver level strength was more than enough to deal with two elementary silver knights and two bronze knights.
But as the battle progressed, he discovered that he was completely wrong.
Just when Huck was concentrating on dealing with Stella and Nalant, Catherine, who had already circled behind him, suddenly took action.
Catherine stabbed his thigh with a sword at extremely fast speed.
Huck originally thought that Catherine was just a small bronze beginner, and could easily dodge her attacks even if she didn't defend herself.
