Only now did Ryan and Gabriel know the dilemma faced by the chivalry army.
"What? My Marquis, you told us that the Chivalry Army has been surrounded? The Earl of Adelaide has been wiped out? The Castle of Yulson has fallen?" Gabriel's head was full of question marks, and he looked confused: "
But didn’t you tell us before that the army just encountered an ambush and suffered heavy losses?”
"We encountered an ambush, and then suffered heavy losses, but now is not the time to talk about this. The beastmen suddenly attacked Juulson Castle. The left army has been wiped out. Our 10,000-person center army is now surrounded in a basin. We
We need your support!" the Marquis of Anchi said loudly, with a hint of hysterical impulse in his voice: "I order you to return reinforcements immediately, and you must arrive at Yulson Castle within three days, otherwise the army will be destroyed.
danger!"
"The right route army is more than 100 kilometers away from Juersen Castle. How can we get back to Juersen Castle within three days?" Ryan said after receiving the magic transmitter. He was still a little unbelievable.
Out of an army of more than 30,000 people, only more than 10,000 people are left?
"That's enough. I asked you to snipe the Beastmen reinforcements at Ten Thousand Demon Rocks. You have not completed the task at all. Now is your last chance to make a contribution. Come back to me with reinforcements immediately...ahhhh!" A burst of noise came from the magic communication equipment.
The last thing Ryan and others heard was the roar of the beastmen and the desperate shouts of the knights, as well as the slowed-down, almost pleading voice of the Marquis of Anchy: "For the sake of the lady and the king, we
I need your support! Please!"
After that, the summons was suspended.
Ryan and Gabriel looked at each other and could feel the seriousness of the matter.
As the commander, the Marquis of Anchi could hear screams all around him. This was no longer a difficult situation.
This is already on the verge of collapse!
"Convene a military meeting immediately!"
"yes!"
Five minutes later, in the Chinese army's tent, Baron Jean, Holy Grail Knight Ryan, Marquis Gabriel, Marquis Connelly, Julius and Sulia were all on standby in the tent, and several others
The veteran kingdom knights also came to the big tent.
A large map was placed in the camp, and Gabriel began to describe the current situation.
The left army was completely wiped out, the beastmen made a surprise attack, and Juersen Castle fell. The center army was trapped in Juersen and suffered heavy losses. Reinforcements are now continuing, and according to Ryan's judgment, the situation is already very critical.
"What should we do now? Withdraw our troops? We are already very close to the Ten Thousand Demonic Rocks. It is impossible for the beastmen to move the Ten Thousand Demonic Rocks long distances in a short time! Withdrawing our troops now? It means that we have given up our efforts over the past ten days.
We will return from this chivalry war without success." Some knights from the kingdom immediately retorted.
"But if we don't return reinforcements, the Chivalry army is in danger of being wiped out. What can we do alone in the forest?"
"But if we don't go to rescue now, we are ignoring our comrades. This is not a knight!"
"But the goal of our chivalry war is to destroy the Ten Thousand Demonic Rocks. We have already made such a huge sacrifice and cannot accomplish the goal. How can we explain to the lady and the king? Is this a knight?"
Everyone was arguing endlessly.
Ryan frowned even more. He really didn't expect that he could lead an army of 6,000 people to repel the main force of the beastmen, and the other two armies, which totaled more than 30,000 people, were actually defeated by the beastmen.
Lose or lose?
The entire left army was wiped out?
Julson Castle was breached?
There were only 10,000 people left in the middle route army and they were surrounded? Asking for help from themselves in a desperate situation?
He always had a feeling that reality was more magical than fiction. He really didn't expect that Ryan was not a white wolf god of war who could sense every battle of his followers. Nor was he a fairy in the lake who could pass through
The prophecy sees the future, and he is not his father. He can radiate the star torch to the entire main material universe, and everything is within his perception.
Ryan is still essentially an incompletely grown Primarch. He controls subspace spiritual energy, possesses powerful power and the unique ability to reverse corruption, but he is still far from the strength of a god. How could he know
Is this happening now?
The Marquis of Anchi must have concealed the true situation before, otherwise it would not have been possible for the army to be defeated like this overnight.
So what should I do now?
The army he led has reached a crossroads.
Out of chivalry's morality, he should go back to rescue. As a Holy Grail Knight, he couldn't help his allies until death. What he was thinking about was, could his allies really last until three days later?
The left army was completely wiped out, and the center army was surrounded by only 10,000 people. In this case, what can the more than 4,000 people on our side do? This is about 110 kilometers away from Yulsin Castle. Normally
It is normal to march 20 kilometers in one day in the forest, but 110 kilometers in three days is the level of forced march. In three days, the exhausted right army did not encounter an ambush and arrived near Yuersen.
Can these people really repel the beastman army?
Again, Ryan could hear the beastman's killing cry in the magic transmitter, which proved that the Marquis' situation was already quite critical. Ryan had a hunch that the Marquis of Anchi might not be able to last three days.
But if we don't save him... Ryan covered his head in pain and signaled to everyone: "I need to be quiet for a while."
"Okay, Sir Ryan." Everyone knows that this lady's champion is the one who makes the final decision.
Sulia looked at Ryan worriedly. The female knight's beautiful face was full of tangles. She seemed to want to go up and ask Ryan what his plans were, but was stopped by Julius: "Lian needs to be quiet for a while."
Under the attention of everyone, Ryan began to think.
Like his father, the Emperor, his son also becomes calmer when encountering bigger things. It seems that there is another kind of blood power that is helping Ryan think. This power is not as supreme and sacred as the Emperor, but it is
Full of wisdom and decisiveness, this bloodline gives Ryan the instinct to come up with several solutions in an instant and find the best solution.
His mind was spinning rapidly, and Ryan knew that any small mistake now would ruin this army.
A few minutes later, Ryan opened his eyes, and his voice was full of coldness: "We are not going to support the Chivalry Army. We will continue to march until we destroy the Ten Thousand Demonic Rocks!"
The tent became very quiet, and everyone felt conflicted about Ryan's decision.
Unexpected and reasonable.
Ryan first stretched out his hand and pointed to Yulsen Castle on the big map: "There are several reasons why we didn't return reinforcements."
"First of all, we consider the most ideal situation of returning to Yuerson's aid, that is, we successfully return to aid Yuerson and rescue the Chivalry Army... Let's calculate it as eight thousand people, and then we will join forces and have about ten thousand taels left.
Thousands of people, then the outcome of this chivalry war is that the left army is completely destroyed, the center army suffers heavy losses, and the remaining chivalry army of more than 10,000 people withdraws from the forest and returns to their respective principalities to rest."
"More than 20,000 corpses will become delicious meals and sacrifices for the beastmen. After achieving so many results, these creatures will be generously given by the God of Chaos, and they can reproduce wildly without any scruples... This year, the knights can
If you successfully retreat and retain some vitality, the scale of the beast tide next year will be unprecedented..."
"Everyone, please remember that this is the most ideal result. We did not consider whether we would be ambushed during the three-day forced march, we did not consider how much combat power the Beastmen army still had, and we did not consider whether the Chivalry army could last for three days."
When Ryan said this, everyone realized the seriousness of the matter. Yes, under the most ideal situation, even if the chivalry army is rescued, will this war be won?
No, failed miserably.
"But we can't ignore friendly forces' requests for help. This is not in line with chivalry." Marquis Connally said hesitantly. This Marquis is not good at military formations, but is better at business and politics. The gray-haired Connally As
Kurt was injured in the battle a few days ago, and he is feeling better today: "This is disobeying orders, and knights must obey orders."
"We did not disobey the order. The goal of the Chivalry War is to destroy the Ten Thousand Demonic Rocks. We are moving forward step by step in accordance with this goal. On the contrary, if we return reinforcements, this war will really fail!" Ryan gritted his teeth.
, explained immediately.
Marquis Connelly stopped talking, so Ryan took the opportunity to continue: "The Ten Thousand Demon Rocks must be destroyed! Only by destroying the Ten Thousand Demon Rocks, the beastmen will lose their core of faith and totem, and the angry God of Chaos will attack these chaotic creatures.
To punish them, what if they won the victory against the Chivalry Army? The core of faith was destroyed and the camp was reduced to ruins. In just a few years, it would be difficult for the beastmen to recover. It would be very difficult to build a new Demonic Rock.
The knights can take this opportunity to rest and recuperate, and the strategic goal of this chivalry war will be achieved."
"If we can destroy the Ten Thousand Demon Rocks, we have still accomplished the goal of this war. After paying so many sacrifices, we must win this war."
"And now is a good time to destroy the Ten Thousand Demonic Rocks," Ryan's finger pointed at the place where they are currently stationed, which is already deep in the forest: "Combining the intelligence of the scouts and the intelligence of Marquis Anxi, we can know that the guard
The elite troops of Ten Thousand Demonic Rocks have been taken away by the Great Shaman of Hissing. The Ten Thousand Demonic Rocks cannot be moved far, and the beastmen must have hidden them nearby. Now is the perfect opportunity to attack Ten Thousand Demonic Rocks."
"But, if this is the case, we will abandon the 10,000-strong Chivalry Army. Such a sacrifice is just to destroy the Ten Thousand Demonic Rocks. Is it worth it?" Sulia said worriedly. The kind-hearted female knight was not convinced by this decision.
I really don't understand.
"Sacrifice more than 20,000 people and then retreat in vain, allowing the Beastmen to win an epic victory, leaving endless trouble for the future, or sacrifice 30,000 people to win a tragic victory, leaving the Beastmen's victory without any
Meaning, Sulia, how will you choose?" Ryan retorted, the Holy Grail Knight's eyes were full of calmness: "Sacrifice is the cornerstone of human beings standing on this land. The knights shed too much blood, we paid
Too much has been done, and it’s time for the Beastmen to pay the price.”
Ryan knew that he would probably bear the consequences of his decision, but so what? He didn't care, Ryan forced himself to tell himself that he didn't care, there are always things that are more important, that is the long-term future, that is the security of the country, and...
He also has a trump card.
"I have no objection." Julius agreed. The rejection of his previous request for help left a deep impression on the knight of the kingdom. After weighing it, he knew that in the long run, this was the right choice.
"The war has reached this point. We must not retreat, otherwise the beast tide next year will submerge the entire country. Sir Ryan, I support you." Gabriel, the most experienced knight of the kingdom, also nodded.
"ready to go!"
…………
The Holy Grail Knight's eyes were firmer than ever before. He immediately gathered the knights and then announced his decision: "We will not go back to support the knightly army. On the contrary, we will continue to march and go straight to the Ten Thousand Demon Rocks. Only in this way can we
Save the country in a real sense, not the army in the forest."
"But..." There was hesitation on the faces of many knights. Out of chivalry, they felt that they should rescue the chivalry army.
"No but! My soldiers, more than 20,000 of them have their bones buried in the forest here, and countless loyal knights have fallen. But I ask you, what is our goal in this chivalry war?
"Ryan said loudly, with fire burning in his eyes and his expression as stern as a stone on a cliff.
"Destroy the Demonic Rock!" the knights roared loudly.
"Exactly, if the Ten Thousand Demon Rocks cannot be destroyed, next year, an unprecedented wave of beasts and beasts will sweep across the entire kingdom. Your hometown will be plundered, and your relatives will be in danger. After killing more than 20,000 human soldiers and
After becoming knights, the beasts will be able to breed and advance unscrupulously. These beasts can give birth to more than a dozen at a time! They can reach adulthood in three to six months. They can eat our corpses and sacrifice our souls.
This forest is rampant, and no creature can stop them in the future!" Ryan stood in front of all the knights and said seriously: "I can tell you that the chivalry army has failed, and there is only one thing left in the dark forest.
We are left, the hope of destroying the Demonic Rock falls on us, and the hope of protecting the entire kingdom falls on us!"
"Are you willing to follow me, go straight to the Demonic Rock, completely destroy the lair of these Chaos Bastards, destroy these totems of the Necrosis of the Earth, and dedicate your victory to the lady and Brittania?" Ryan raised his hand.
He picked up the war hammer and roared loudly.
The knights were silent, they had realized the seriousness of the problem.
The first knight errant came out and shouted: "We are willing to follow you, Lord Lane!"
"Yes! We do!"
"Please give me your orders! Sir Ryan!"
"It was you who brought us victory!"
"Please give the order!"
"Ryan! Ryan! Ryan! Ryan!" The knights shouted, the sound shook the forest: "Please give the order!"
"For the lady! For Britannia! My soldiers, are you willing to finish this last journey with me? We will go straight to the base camp of the beastmen! Destroy the Demonic Rock! Tell me, my soldiers,
Are you willing?" Ryan shouted.
"We are willing! We are willing!" the knights shouted with the most passionate voices, the beastmen will pay the price for their atrocities!
"For the lady! For Brittany!"
"Du~wu~duwu~" At this moment, there was a sound of horns outside the right army camp.
Ryan turned his head and narrowed his eyes.
The horn sound is clear and loud, the sound is far-reaching and full of vitality.
This is not the horn call of the Beastmen!
Are there any other armies in the forest? (To be continued)
