Lord of Lowland

Chapter 440 War is imminent

But Cecil directly rejected Sandro's suggestion. Using all necromancers will make him very likely to fall into a comprehensive passivity, and it will also be an absolute blow to the morale of his soldiers, so Cecil He gave up all the defense areas in the south to Sandro, and all his two knights retreated to the defense area in the north.Cecil saw that Rekel and Elvira were distributing food to the soldiers of the Oracle Knights with their blood stained face.After days of fierce fighting and the siege and interception of troops several times larger than their own, the Oracle Knights lost almost half of their soldiers and horses.It can be said that the establishment of Cecil's army has gone through a lot of battles, but this is the first time he has suffered such a big loss. Reker's eyes have turned red, obviously he has not closed his eyes for several days and nights.The battles of the past few days made him truly feel the cruelty of war. Watching the soldiers he trained on weekdays die one by one in front of his eyes, his sadness can no longer be described with expressions, and the tears of a majestic man have been shed. up.

Fortunately, the training scroll left by Kratos is still useful. Although the rest of the fighters are extremely tired, Cecil can see a gleam of light in their eyes, and knows that they have all achieved the goal. Great progress.The level has been raised by at least 20 levels, and the most important thing is that his own attributes have improved a lot compared to other ordinary soldiers on the basis of his own attribute potions. The remaining people are enough to organize a very elite army. It seems Kratos' method is still very effective, but the way of using war to train troops is too cruel, and it requires constant sacrifices of subways and blood to do it.

However, the Blood Eagle Knights are quite slippery this time. The Grand Knight Bartley, after many changes, is at a loss for the changes in the upper echelon. Both King Rex and King Lucas who are loyal to him are very disappointed. , under this emotional trend, he is more inclined to protect himself wisely.In almost all the fierce battles in this battle, Cecil's Oracle Knights were at the front, and the Blood Eagle Knights were trying to save their strength. hide.So the loss is not heavy, but the blow to the morale of the army is also amazing. If an army always wants to avoid fighting on the battlefield, it will become cowardly and incompetent, and even become a veteran on the battlefield. son.This is an absolute blow to a knighthood that attaches great importance to honor, both psychologically and in terms of momentum. When the two knighthoods were together in the past, the experienced Blood Eagle Knights looked down on the newcomers. The Oracle Knights, but after this war has been completely reversed, the Oracle Knights can finally hold their heads high in front of the opponent, while the opponent dare not look at them.

Seeing the status quo of these two knight orders, Cecil hurriedly began to allocate the defense of the two knight orders. The attack surface in the north of the border city is much narrower than that in the south, which means that the enemy's front here is not wide enough. , a strong force cannot be stretched, and only a small amount of troops can be invested to attack and fight here, so the defensive side can avoid the absolute disadvantage caused by insufficient troops to the greatest extent.Cecil assigned all the strategic points to his Oracle Knights, and Reker and Corin led the knights into these strategic points to carry out defensive battles, while the Blood Eagle Knights Because of the low morale of the regiment, they can only arrange for them to carry out defensive work on the periphery.

On the south side is a very wide front, just enough for the enemy to attack with a large army. The elite troops of the Eluk Empire on the opposite side are also relentless, and immediately send a small number of troops, only about one knight order, to carry out a feint attack in the north. , and all the remaining nine knights were all thrown into the attack from the south.For the Duke of Satoras, who directed the attack, there is no suspense in winning the battle. The only troublesome thing is that the opponent's coach Cecil is strong. If he decides to give up his troops and flee It is really hard to catch. Judging from the existing information, the opponent's coach is a super strong man with super fighting ability. Maybe he can defeat the opponent with the superior number of troops, but if the opponent's coach wants to If he leaves the battlefield, not to mention ten cavalry regiments, even a hundred or a thousand cavalry regiments may not be able to stop him. If he wants to successfully catch him, he may only count on those frightening guys. Come on, even a battle-tested veteran like the Duke of Satoras couldn't help but shudder.

Nine cavalry regiments were rapidly advancing towards the battlefield. In front was the assault regiment. The Duke of Satolas was a legendary knight who was proficient in the art of war. He did not allocate the strong men of each cavalry regiment to each cavalry regiment for scattered use. , but to gather all these powerhouses together to form an assault force on the battlefield.Form a huge assault regiment, this assault regiment has nearly 100 people, almost all the holy rank deputy heads of the cavalry regiment are in it, the lowest level has professionals above level 80, it is simply a huge weapon in the battlefield The sharp blade, where the enemy is located, has almost no chance to fight back. As long as an established cavalry regiment dares to resist, it will be beaten and disabled in less than an hour.Half of the Oracle Knights lost? Most of them were lost in the hands of this assault group. If it wasn't for Reker who retreated decisively when he saw the situation was not good, the entire Oracle Knights would be surrounded and wiped out by the infantry following behind. up.

However, the assault group's advance this time did not encounter any resistance, because there was almost no one in front. After receiving the news, Duke Sartoras was shocked. The battle to the north had already begun at this time, and the bypassing regiment was sent to penetrate the attack to the north. Unexpectedly, they encountered fierce resistance from the opponent's knights. Judging from the reports from the front line, the enemy's troops invested in the north of the border city were no less than those invested in the Ailuk Legion.But the Duke of Satoras knew very well that there were only two knight orders in this direction, and both of them had lost half of them.If the enemy invests less troops than his own in the north, doesn't that mean opening up the defense in the south?No wonder the stormtroopers advanced so quickly. It turned out that there were no troops on the other side. What did the other side want to do?Break out and escape from weak places?
