Chapter 28 The Ancient Dragon and the Youngest Alchemist (5)
"Don't retreat! Hold firmly, there is hope!"
Ella rode on a horse and ran around the chaotic army, trying to reorganize the defeated army.
"The friendly forces on the mountain will soon arrive and attack the enemy's right wing! The enemy army will be pressing forward, and there are few guards next to the main general. If you persist for a while, the situation will be reversed!"
"Calorin's army will come soon too! As long as they launch an offensive from behind, victory is ours!"
This encouragement had some effect, and some of the defeated troops stabilized their pace and once again got entangled with the enemy.
However, Ella's location was fully exposed.
"Duke, look, the enemy's Lord General seems to be a woman."
"Woman?" The Duke of Aquitaine squinted his eyes and looked forward for a while. As the main general, there are only a few such things. Excluding Luka, who is stationed in Paris, the Duke of Aquitaine can only think of one person.
"So that's it... it's the Swedish king of the pirate kingdom. It turns out that she is the mastermind behind the scenes."
After discovering the real master hidden behind the scenes, all the setbacks I encountered before suddenly became reasonable.
"King of Sweden? Duke, do you mean this is the 'Triumph'?" The knights around the Duke of Aquitaine were shocked. "In this case, today's battle situation will be too smooth. Will there be any traps..."
"Duke!" A soldier riding a horse ran over, "The enemy's cavalry has broken through our defense line and is approaching here!"
"I saw it! Press all the reserve troops up and stop them from moving forward!"
"Duke!" Another soldier riding a horse ran over, "On our left wing, a enemy army was found! They were quickly approaching here, as if they were ambushing down from the mountain!"
"Come on me again?" Duke Aquitaine pulled the reins, "Do they think I would run away in fear? Wrong! Everyone, follow me to the front line to kill the enemy! If they want to capture me, they will rush to the front line together!"
"Duke, this is not a solution. Triumph is not a good character to mess with, and there may be ambushings." A knight said, "If you delay, something will happen. We have to find a way to quickly resolve the battle."
"I have already been suppressed by the entire army, how can I resolve the battle more quickly?"
"Duke, most of these enemy troops are our own people. I think we can persuade them to surrender!"
"Please surrender? Do you want me to let these guys who betray me not deal with it?"
"This is the quickest way to solve the battle in front of us! And we are not only going to fight this battle in front of us! We have given up Paris. If Caroling strikes in the future, these people will be our combat power!"
After a little thought, the Duke of Aquitaine nodded fiercely:
"That's it. I'm passing on the order that nobility or civilians, as long as anyone brought from my Duke of Aquitaine surrenders, everything will be left unrestrained! Whether it's an enemy or a friend now, as long as you can capture the King of Sweden, you will be rewarded!"
Under this order, Ella's army finally collapsed.
The vast majority of the people in this army were old subordinates of the Duke of Aquitaine. The reason why they turned against each other and struggled to survive was nothing more than the word "life". The situation was very bad at this moment. I heard that surrender could survive and everything could be left unrestrained. He naturally threw away his weapons without hesitation. Some lords hesitated slightly, but after seeing the friendly forces on both sides surrender, they knew that the situation was hopeless and they could not raise the white flag. In a flash, the army beside Ella was the only peasant army led by Jiber.
"The Duke has an order, no matter whether it is enemies or friends, as long as you catch the King of Sweden, you will receive a lot of rewards!"
"The Duke has an order, no matter whether it is enemies or friends, as long as you catch the King of Sweden, you will receive a lot of rewards!"
"The Duke has an order, no matter whether it is enemies or friends, as long as you catch the King of Sweden, you will receive a lot of rewards!"
...
Such a sound spread throughout the battlefield like ripples on the lake. Even among the rebel army, some people began to look at Ella on the horse with malicious intentions.
"Bastard, what do you think!" Jibel angrily scolded the group of people with ulterior motives, "Touch your conscience. If it weren't for the King of Sweden, you would have died of the Black Death disease long ago!"
"Everyone, just hold on for a while!" Ella struggled to support her morale that was about to collapse. "As long as Carolin launches an attack, everything will be fine!"
However, this is already a meaningless struggle. The combat effectiveness of these rebels is very low. How can they resist the entire army of Duke Aquitaine?
"Kill one more person! Try killing one more person! After these battles, Kur's power must be almost exhausted. As long as he kills one or two more people, all the enemies who drink the potion will fall!"
This passage is not so much analyzing the situation, but rather a comfort in the heart. Ella only knows that she must persevere and persevere until Caroling comes, then there will be hope, and once she retreats, she will fall into a state of doom!
The war horse under Ella suddenly made a neigh. It jumped out of the army despite Ella's wishes and ran towards the rear with Ella!
"Borias! Boreas! What are you doing? I can't retreat. If I retreat, I will be defeated!"
Ella tried her best to hold Porias, but her strength was too small to hold it. These horses seemed like crazy, and they bumped away the people in front of them one after another.
The next moment, a rain of arrows fell to where Ella was just now, shooting the rebels who were still standing there into sieve.
——The archers' positions on the mountain also jumped backwards.
Porias ran in one direction, where Ella was the camp where she stored food and grass. Because Amy was injured, Ella arranged for her to guard the food and grass there.
"Borias, you...a stupid horse who doesn't obey your master's orders."
Ella wiped her eyes so that her vision was not blocked by tears.
The defeat was destined, and the plan she struggled to manage was burned because Carolin did not appear.
She shouldn't have handed over such an important task to a neurotic Caroling!
Porias suddenly stopped running.
Just as Ella was wondering what was going on, she suddenly realized that the sound on the battlefield had disappeared.
The shouts, the collision of weapons, the sound of commands, the sound of horse hooves... Everything disappeared in the moment just now. All that was left was the sound of lonely wind.
Ella turned her horse's head and saw Alfred looking at it too.
And on the vast battlefield between them, only the sea of corpses remained.
——"Impossible...Why...I'm given to the alchemy potion..."
The huge water condensed was scattered and turned into a shower, falling on the mountains and on the flat ground. The "god" named Kur, the only thing left behind is this echo from the valley.
"Why? Maybe, it's because you've been sleeping for too long." Graheide blinked and looked at the heavy rain falling from the sky. "The times have been moving forward, Lord God."
