The golden light just hindered the pursuit of the death knights and skeleton cavalry, allowing the Swadian heavy cavalry to return safely to the urn of the "Drehem" castle by collusion.
They retreated and fought all the way, already exhausted, it can be said that they were exhausted.
This is a biological disadvantage.
As for the death knights and skeleton cavalry, because of the characteristics of the dead, there is no physical limit at all. Although the individual combat ability is poor, they can harass these heavy cavalry all the time.
The comrades-in-arms who were forced to leave along the way, or the small units that were scattered and separated, were all because of this.
And there are many more people.
Just because he covered the retreat of his comrades, he brazenly launched a counterattack and was submerged in the sea of skeletons.
Holding back these skeleton cavalry, they won the most critical time to retreat.
Thankfully.
No matter how strong the individual combat power of the skeleton cavalry is, it is estimated that even the Swadian heavy cavalry with the best protection and the strongest charge will all be enraged on the spot.
Also benefiting from the combat effectiveness of the heavy cavalry, it is worthy of the name of the very cost-effective level 4 heavy cavalry.
Most of them came back alive.
They all withdrew into the urn, and Bandak and the royal knights and Swadian knights in charge of the rear rode in. There was no joy or anger on the face under the full-face helmet, but the dignity was detected from the eyes.
Bandak waved his hand, and he directly issued an order: "Close the city gate immediately!"
The crossbowmen and infantry who were in charge of guarding the city gate immediately moved into action, and the civilians who were stationed on the city wall also helped.
"Kangdang—"
As the solid wooden city gate was closed, the cast iron fence was also lowered, and the city gate was directly closed, completely separating the castle and the outside into two different worlds.
"Rest in place!"
Bandak reached out his hand at the same time and gave orders to the withdrawn heavy cavalry.
Looking coldly at these Swadian heavy cavalry who had relaxed and survived a desperate situation, they said solemnly: "After the rest, you will be reviewed. I hope you will seriously recall the cause and effect of this battle!"
"yes!"
The neat response immediately sounded in the ranks of the Swadian heavy cavalry.
Even though they were almost fleeing and retreating, they still maintained excellent qualities. This is the confidence of the elite heavy cavalry in the Kingdom of Swadia, or the self-discipline developed from long-term training!
The golden light attached to the bodies of these heavy cavalry also brought warmth and healing.
Physical strength is slowly recovering.
There were also civilians who brought hot wheat porridge and grilled sausages to supplement their already hungry stomachs.
Returning to the sentry oasis is tantamount to going home. They can enjoy all the security. Even if they need to be checked, it is a routine. After all, they have just gone through a series of tragic fights with the undead, and they need to check whether they are carrying the plague bacteria.
The fame of the undead is not just the army of the dead, but the endless sea of skeletons and corpses.
There are also germs that spread all kinds of plagues!
The heavy cavalry also understood.
It just so happened that during the review process, one by one sat next to their war horses, gulped down the porridge in the wooden bowl with a wooden spoon, ate the crispy roasted sausage, and enjoyed the hard-won peace.
Next to it, civilians helped to move the food trough and put it in the corner.
Add concentrate and water to feed the same tired war horses.
Everything is very thoughtful.
On the city wall, Manid looked solemnly at the heavy cavalry who were squatting on the ground waiting for the review to end. There was a bit of worry in his brows. As a merchant elite, he had already smelled the cruel taste of war.
Everyone was deep in thought, and the scene fell into silence, only the review team composed of knights was communicating in a low voice.
But at this moment.
There are Vikia archers running quickly on the streets in the castle.
The city gate opened a gap, he stepped in, looked at the heavy cavalry who were resting for a short time, his eyes flashed a little dignified, and said in a deep voice to Bandak in front of him: "Lord Bandak, Lord Kant has orders, Ask their commanders to go to the governing hall immediately and report the reasons and details of their return!"
"Oh, I see."
Bandak nodded and waved his hand at the same time to convey the order.
Soon the commander of this heavy cavalry unit came out.
"We're here."
The two royal knights came at a fast pace, with determination on their faces and heavy breathing. It was obvious that the short rest had not allowed them to fully recover the physical strength that had been overdrawn in recent days.
They took off the plate armor helmets on their heads, and the burqas on their bodies were already tattered. Even the bright silver plate armor had many dents and white marks. Occasionally, the dark stains stained on the linen burqa Liquid, apparently broke out after a fight, and looked very tragic.
Not just them, in fact, the surrounding Swadian heavy cavalry are like this. Everyone is wounded, and the chain armor on their bodies is slightly damaged. The head hammer is still hanging on the waist.
"Thanks for your hard work."
The Vekirian archer bowed his head.
The royal knight shook his head and said solemnly: "Everything is for the lord."
They are all soldiers from the continent of Calradia. At this time, there is no embarrassment in the Kingdom of Swadia and the Kingdom of Vikia. Unite together and solve the foreign enemies, which is what they consider.
Fighting among themselves at such a critical time is obviously something that idiots can do.
Of course, Kant would never allow infighting.
"let's go."
The Vikir archer turned and led the way.
He walked ahead first, and at the same time reminded the two royal knights who followed: "Please recall as soon as possible what happened between the encounter with the enemy attack at the salt mine station and the return to the castle, including the origin of the enemy troops, Quantity, several times of resistance and fighting, whether there are any strange phenomena encountered in the middle, etc., must be clearly answered."
The two Swadian royal knights who led the battle from the skeleton cavalry nodded: "We are prepared, it is all the truth from personal experience, and there will be no falsehood."
"That's good."
The Vekia archer nodded.
Both sides were silent.
Soon, they came to the governing hall along the road. After being inspected by the lion knights as guards, they entered the interior of the hall, and Kant was waiting for them sitting on his original main seat.
"My lord."
The Vikia archer was the first to speak: "They brought it."
The two royal knights walked forward quickly, half kneeling on the ground, bowed their heads and said in shame: "My lord, please forgive us for evacuating the salt mine station and making this area completely fall into the hands of the enemy."
"Well, it happened for a reason, and I don't blame you."
Kant waved his hand, motioning for the Vikia archer who was the messenger to get out of the way.
But looking at the two royal knights, he asked indifferently: "What makes me curious is, how can a salt mine station led by two great knights and 500 Swadian heavy cavalry be so easy?" After being captured, you retreat back in such a mess, without the dignity you deserve?"
