Frank turned pale.
Mario looked at Frank with anger and anger, but he also knew in his heart that it was not Frank's fault. He glared at Frank hard, looked at his men, and shouted: "Let the defeated soldiers retreat, and the rest will assemble and prepare to fight."
"yes."
Mario's entire brigade of cavalry quickly got rid of the rout soldiers, gathered together on the road, held their weapons and looked at the approaching black cavalry.
Speaking of which, the number of black cavalry attacking was not large, not even a complete brigade, only about fifty people.
But no matter how small the number of black knights are, they are still magic knights. No matter how many they are, they are just elite cavalry.
They absolutely cannot stop these black knights, and they can only hope that the main force of the Red Maple Regiment behind them can respond in time.
hope so…
Biting his lip, Mario galvanized his horse and took the lead to greet the black knight a few hundred meters away. He was already determined to die. At this moment, he forgot about the entanglement about attacking Sarin, and only had the simplest thought as a soldier in his mind - fight, either life or death.
"Come with me!" Mario roared, leading his men closer and closer to the black knight.
Three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred meters.
Approaching within a hundred meters, Mario could clearly see the magic patterns on the black knight's armor and the light shining on the patterns.
There was sweat on his palms. He gritted his teeth and grasped the weapon, raising it with all his strength, ready to swing it down.
But at the next moment, his eyes widened and he saw an unexpected scene - the extremely powerful black cavalry suddenly took the initiative to avoid them, turned the horse's head sharply, turned to the left side of the road, and avoided fighting with them.
This is... Black Knight is scared
Mario was stunned for a moment, and soon realized that this was not the case. It's not that Black Knight is afraid, but he doesn't regard him as his real opponent. The real opponent is...
Mario looked in the direction where the black knight was facing, and saw about five hundred blue-armored cavalry roaring towards the Reef Castle. A few hundred meters away from the black knight, a deep purple light lit up on their armor. Dazzling and dangerous.
This is none other than the Magic Knight of Reef Castle.
It is true that his team is an open forward, but obviously, his team is not the only open forward, there are others.
Then, the next step is obviously a battle between magic knights. As an ordinary cavalry, he is not qualified to participate.
That's okay, after all, he doesn't want to die like this.
Mario calmed down and waved his hand to direct his men to turn their horses and head towards the way they came. On the one hand, he was escorting the remaining soldiers to meet the main force of the cavalry regiment, and on the other hand, he wanted to tell the regiment leader what happened here.
Since we can encounter half a group of black cavalry here, it means that the road ahead has been effectively occupied by sarin, and we must be more vigilant during the march.
Thinking this way, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the Shalin Black Cavalry start charging, and then collided with the blue-armored magic knight of Reef Castle.
"boom!"
"puff!"
The two sides fought with all their strength, blood spattered, and they penetrated each other's formations. They rushed a certain distance, exchanged positions, and then stopped.
The result of the fight was that the blue-armored magic knights of Reef Castle were slightly inferior and suffered more casualties - almost half of the black knights fell, while the number of blue-armored magic knights of Reef Castle was about 30%.
However, there were a lot of blue-armored knights in Reef Castle. They lost more than 30 people, which still seemed like so many people. There were only about 20 black knights left, who were a little lonely.
The lone black knight made no move to retreat. He turned his horse's head mechanically and launched a second charge towards the magic-equipped knight of Reef Castle.
The blue-armored and magic-equipped knights of Reef Castle faced him unceremoniously.
"boom!"
"puff!"
It was another fight, and after the end of the battle, the blue-armored knights in Reef Castle lost nearly twenty people, while the black knight had only one survivor left.
The leader of the blue-armored knights in magic armor glanced at the last black knight, pulled up his mask, and said: "Surrender, you will avoid death."
Black Cavalry remained silent, not sure whether he didn't hear it or didn't want to respond.
Two seconds later, the black knight galvanized his horse, accelerated, charged, approached more than 400 blue-armored knights in Reef Castle, and killed them with all his strength.
"puff!"
The black knight successfully slashed the weapon into the body of a blue-armored knight in Reef Castle, but more swords also penetrated his body.
"puff!"
The blue-armored and magic-equipped knights of Reef Castle withdrew their long swords. The black knight swayed on his horse and fell straight to the ground. He did not struggle, but turned over with difficulty, and died silently while covering his wounds - not even a scream.
Mario looked at these with the corner of his eyes, feeling a little wary in his heart - it seemed that the dead black knight was more dangerous than the living black knight.
Why
Mario thought carefully and found the reason. It was the Black Knight's indifference to death in the battle that shocked him.
Maybe in the same environment, he could fearlessly fight against enemies many times his own and die as Black Rider, but he would definitely not be so calm, and definitely not without roars and screams.
This is terrible. Is this still human
Could this be the Spark people who came out of the Northern Wasteland
If Sarin's army exists like this, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to attack Sarin next.
Mario felt a little heavy in his heart.
…
A little later.
On the roadside where the Reef Castle army was marching, there was a temporary camp in a seemingly ordinary white military tent.
Many staff officers and clerks are busy, and this place has become a temporary army staff headquarters. Military God Sauron stood in front of a hung map, squinting at it while a young staff officer reported the latest situation behind him.
"General, according to the statistics of the forward troops, we have collected about 10,000 defeated troops at present. It is expected that this will continue in the next two days, and the final number may exceed 30,000." The young staff officer said.
Sauron looked at the map and asked without looking back: "What's the status of the defeated army?"
"Morale is very low. Without reorganization and training, it is difficult to go into battle." the staff responded.
"Then disperse them to the rear and let them do some auxiliary work." Sauron said.
"Yes, General." The staff officer nodded, "But, General, how will we deal with the rations of these defeated troops in the past few days? This time, we asked each unit to carry their own rations with them, and there was no excess share to give to them, and they even We have lost all our weapons, and there is no way we are still carrying food.”
"Let's improvise, let each unit reduce some consumption, and give them some evenly. After a few days, the food channel will be established, and food can continue to be transported from the rear to the front."
"Yes." The staff officer responded, turned around and walked out.
At this time, Sauron turned his head, looked at another older staff officer, and asked, "What's the news from Sika?"
"The informant reported that Sika was surprised by Xiaya's incident and our actions, but it was just a surprise. On the market, the price of food did not increase, and the prices of other goods were generally stable. Only a small part of the army was mobilized. Mainly It's for precaution," the senior staff officer said quickly.
"So, because the thing happened too suddenly, Sika hasn't reacted yet." Sauron raised his eyebrows, "Or, they have already reacted, but they chose to watch temporarily - this is also the most reasonable, after all, they have already It is difficult to bear the defeat of another national war. If you really want to tear up the treaty, you must choose a time when both we and Sarin will suffer heavy losses."
