Chapter 39: Decisive Battle (8)
The blazing flames centered on Nesavalkoyotel's body and illuminated the entire Tescoco. Because they were close to the church, they looked several times larger than the sun.
"It's the level of the big elf, and it's stronger than Nesaval Koyotel just now. This is not the enemy we can deal with now. Don't look up, it will only waste time of escape."
Amy ran out of the city while warning everyone around her.
"This battle has failed. Tell all troops not to hesitate and evacuate Tescoco immediately!"
This is the calmest judgment at the moment, but it is difficult for people to accept.
"Tescoco has been captured, and the number of people is our advantage. Can't we fight for it?" Estrard shouted, "With the current military force we gathered, as long as we fight to the death, we may not be able to win a big elf!"
"As long as Nesavalkoyotel turns into fire, all attacks from swords cannot hurt him at all. Do you want the soldiers to be burned to death by him in batches until his magic is exhausted?"
Amy refuted Estrard's opinion. While speaking, a fully armed unit ran towards Amy, with flame-patterned badges on their chests. This was the guard who belonged directly to Amy, and one was on guard around the temple. When he saw something was wrong, he ran towards him.
So Amy repeated the words just to them:
"This battle has failed. I'll send the whole army to evacuate Tescoco immediately! This is not an issue for consultation for the staff team, but my order! Immediately! Immediately! The soldiers and civilians of Tescoco may turn against each other again. If we are a little later, we will not be able to get out!"
The sky suddenly became darker. Amy looked up and found that Nesavalkoyotel's body was no longer in the sky. She judged that Ivar had not handled Nesavalkoyotel's body yet, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Which direction should we evacuate?" Ulf asked from the side.
"Where is our large force now?" Amy asked back.
"It should be still in the north of Tescoco, and it didn't move," Yarmar replied, "if they can obey your orders as Chief of Staff."
"Okay." Amy said, "Let's go north!"
The huge fireball that had risen above Tescoco had already aroused the idea of the army stationed several miles away from Tescoco. By the time Amy arrived with the Imperial Guards, the troops were already alert and ready to go.
Among them were thousands of Tescoco civilians. These were hostages who were deliberately imprisoned by Amy and threatened the soldiers of Tescoco to turn against Nesavalkoyotel.
"Report!" Someone came to report, "An army was coming towards us, and it looked like a soldier from Tescoco!"
“Is Nesaval Koyotel in it?”
"Not found!"
"They are so brave." Estrard cursed, "The hostages are still in our hands, but they actually attacked us again!"
"The hostages can be pushed out and threatened them again," Ulf said. "In this way, they should be able to withdraw their troops."
Yarmar shook his head: "No. Since Nesavalkoyotel has returned, it is not just a matter of life and death for the hostages. If they retreat, they may be killed by Nesavalkoyotel on the grounds of disobedience. They can still distinguish between the lives of their relatives and their own lives."
"Will they kill directly regardless of the hostages?"
"Not necessarily, but if you push the hostages out, you will be in a stalemate." Yarmar said, "and the most we cannot do now is a stalemate. These Tesco soldiers are all defeated players and are not worth mentioning. But if Tesco discovers the position of the Chief of Staff, and it will be troublesome if time is delayed, Nessaval Koyotel chases him personally."
"That is to say, you can't even fight!" Estrard cursed, "There's no way. Execute all the hostages, and then avoid the pursuers and evacuate immediately. Don't let Tescoco find out that this is our main force!"
Amy took a long breath and shook her head.
"No, just let these hostages go."
Everyone was shocked. Estrard even shouted: "Chief of Staff, don't be ruthless! We have obviously occupied Tescoco, but we have been defeated so unknown. If we don't kill these hostages, it's not just me, but the soldiers can't relieve themselves!"
"Soft-hearted? Estrard, look at what is left on my clothes?"
Amy showed Estrard the blood stains on her clothes. This was left behind when she was killed in order to better control the soldiers of Tescoco. In order to better control the soldiers, Amy was sentenced to death by herself, and dozens of civilians died under her.
"If killing these hostages helps the war, I would have carried out without hesitation. But now, killing these hostages is of no use at all, and will only make Tescoco's army more brave. Isn't it?"
Estrard was shocked by Amy. However, he was obviously unwilling to accept it and muttered: "Even if that's the case, you shouldn't just let it go..."
"What would you do if you were a soldier and saw your relatives running towards you? What would you do if you were a civilian and saw your city-state army coming to save you?"
"meeting……"
"I will be excited, cry bitterly, hug, hold hands and cry - but I just can't continue chasing."
After saying that, Amy reacted and waved her hand in a hurry:
"Say it again, let go of these civilians and evacuate northward, immediately, immediately!"
"Veil north?" Bjorn, who had been silent, questioned, "Our base camp, Movara Nijia, is on the coast, south of Tescoco. Where are we going to evacuate north?"
"Even if you run back to Mevara Niga, you can't deal with Nesawar Koyotel."
Amy was obviously a little annoyed by the continuous questions.
"Your Majesty is in the north. Hestein's army is in the north. And your master, Master Quilakiri, is also in the north. I know that there is no support from the north, there is a city that can rest, and no place to supplement the materials; but the only hope for our victory is to go north! The military situation is urgent and urgent, and there is a problem on the road. I will say it again, evacuate north, immediately, immediately!"
"Abide by the order, but there is another crucial issue," said Yarmar. "The troops of the states are now scattered in all directions, and we may not have time to contact everyone. If this continues, the losses will be huge. What should we do?"
"What to do? Why do you think I will know what to do?"
Looking at the sky, Amy finally sighed helplessly.
