Chapter 581
Xia Lan's decision was not beyond Berant's expectations, because he knew very well what kind of person the guy he had been with day and night was a person. Nearly 10,000 people's lives could be ruined without blinking. As the saying goes, those who achieve great things do not care about the trivialities, and ruthlessness is the necessary way to success, but the coldness he showed made Berant feel chilled.
It seems that there is no so-called person who cannot be abandoned in his world. As long as he can achieve his goals, he will definitely be of any means.
There is no doubt that this poisonous plan is a double-edged sword. It not only hurts the military power of both sides, but also imagines that Xia Lan will bear the infamy afterwards!
Since the Holy War, Xia Lan has always enjoyed a high reputation for his excellent results. Most middle and lower-level officers and soldiers are willing to follow this miracle god of war. However, after this incident, the achievements of eliminating the main force of a Golden Legion can block the mouths of many people, but his reputation among the lower-level army will inevitably plummet, and even the top leaders of the Holy Temple will change their perception of him.
unless--
Suddenly, his pupils shrank, and his eyes met Xia Lan's deep eyes as deep as rivers and seas.
"I see."
Berrant took a deep breath.
"After the war, I will bear the blame for ignoring the lives of soldiers and making decisions on flooding the entire army!"
He said thank you briefly without any extra words, because both of them understood each other's interests, Xia Lan turned around and turned her gaze to the map again.
"This is probably the last time we have worked together."
"...The Military Law Department will definitely come to me afterwards, and I will not go to the military court with them." Berrant said silently.
"When the war has reached this point, the general trend is no longer something that individuals can change. It is time for me to leave."
"It's good to go back, I believe Heris will welcome you back very much." Xia Lan said.
"In the future, I will ask Pasifal to help you. Although he is slightly inferior to me in all aspects, it is more than enough to be an assistant to deal with the current situation." Berrant said.
"Thank you for your hard work over the years."
"Just do it on order."
...
...
On the banks of the Wolosen River, more than 8,000 soldiers gathered in the stance of the Yanyue Formation. The chariots and swords and shields formed the defense on the front line. The spear soldiers lived on the second line and waited for an opportunity to attack the enemy. The long-range crossbowmen hurried behind and lined up in a shooting array. A large number of cavalry were surrounding the commander, always preparing for the order to launch a raid.
In front of this army, the boundless enemy troops were moving forward in an orderly manner. When they were thousands of steps away, with the sound of a vast and distant horn, the shaking earth suddenly calmed down.
"They are finally here."
Berrant, who was accompanying Xialan, said in a complicated way.
"Before the flood comes, this will be a tough battle. If we want to deceive them, we must show a tenacious momentum of fighting to the death!"
"I understand! I will take the risk of seducing them myself!"
Xia Lan, wearing a silver mask, said in a plain tone, then waved her hand to the messenger beside her, and a banner symbolizing the identity of the head coach was raised high, and the sound of drums and horns that were encouraging in morale echoed in the sky.
The two sides were tense and the battle was about to break out at any time.
Dongdongdongdongdong-
The first charge drum sounded, and the enemy's vanguard, who was holding a giant tower shield, slowly moved his steps and began to approach forward. The crossbowmen followed closely behind him, and countless cavalrymen were cruising behind.
When the enemy's vanguard was about 300 steps away from Xia Lan's formation, the special horn commandered the chess, and the crossbowmen all launched their shooting together, and the rain of arrows shot at the enemy rhythmically, and the fierce war and fighting broke out completely!
The enemy's back and forth several times, relying on its solid defensive formation, Xia Lan successfully resisted the attack of the enemy. Judging from the number of casualties between the two sides alone, Xia Lan's side undoubtedly had an advantage.
But as time goes by, the continuous casualties of front-line soldiers doubled the pressure on defense, and the enemy obviously still did not exert force, as if they were waiting for the fleeting fighter jets to launch an assault in one fell swoop.
The battle lasted from early morning to noon. The enemy's cruising iron-armored cavalry suddenly jumped out of the shield guards' protection and rushed in towards a formation that could not be filled. Fortunately, Berrant had already anticipated this situation. The spearmen who had been waiting for a long time suddenly surrounded the cavalry brigade who was trying to rush around, and soon solved the trouble caused by the cavalry.
"If this continues, it won't work. Sooner or later, our formation will expose more gaps to give the opponent a chance to hit the enemy with a fatal blow. Lead your cavalry to prepare to charge back and disrupt the enemy's attack rhythm!"
Berant, who was in charge of the central command, came to Xia Lan in sweat.
"Stabilize the rear, I'll go and come!"
As he said that, Xia Lan pulled out the long sword in her hand, as if she released a signal, and the knights around her drew their swords to respond.
When the enemy's vanguard attacked the front of the chariot and shield like an ants covering the city, suddenly these tenaciously resisted soldiers made a spacious road. Before the other party could react, a surging cavalry swallowed them.
The sharp blade waving like the wind took away all the living lives. The splashing blood kept dyeing the robe red, and the opponent caught Xia Lan off guard and broke into the enemy's central army, wantonly killing the panicked enemy beside her. Looking down from the sky, Xia Lan's cavalry was like a burnt dagger stabbing into a ball of butter, tearing a huge scar.
After seeing the enemy commander's flag from afar, Xia Lan no longer chose to charge forward, but led the army to turn around and fight back. He knew very well that once the opponent seized time to form an encirclement, all of their cavalry would be ruined here.
"pity--"
A sigh came from the towering black-bottomed and gold-edged handsome man.
"Captain Elroy Legion! Since I feel it's a pity, why didn't we just ask us to come forward and encircle and kill each other?"
Next to the commander of the army with a tiger-backed and bear-waisted waist, a guard in black armor stood up and said.
"The Silver-White Holy Sword is not an unknown person. Since he has the courage to enter, he must have the confidence to escape unstoppable, so he doesn't need to send you out, not to mention that the balance of war has shifted towards us, and no matter how hard the other party struggles, he cannot change this result."
The commander of the 19th Golden Legion of the Heather Empire said with a look of Zhizhu in his grip.
"It's just that I'm a little puzzled why this young man who has created countless war miracles foolishly provoked us! He really thought that he could defeat us with a hasty army of miscellaneous cards? Could it be that there was a conspiracy hidden in it?"
"No, he is not stupid, but he has to do so!" The guard in black said: "I received a precious information not long ago. The reason why this silver-white holy sword attacked us was because of the order from the Holy Church!"
"Hmm?" Elroy said with a strong nasal voice.
"Someone in the temple wants his life!" The black-clad guard said directly: "It is rumored that he violated the interests of many people after confirming that he was a candidate..."
Without the other party continuing, Elroy also understood the key, and his majestic face immediately showed a refreshing smile.
"Haha! It's time for this time, the church is still trying to fight for power and profit! Such a corrupt organization deserves to fall under the iron hooves of the empire! Pass my order! The whole army charges!"
Finally, Elroy keenly noticed the limit of the opponent's formation defense and issued an order immediately!
The defeat was inevitable after all. The miscellaneous army under Xia Lan was extremely unbearable to support it until now, but the collapse of the fighting will cannot be cheered up no matter how much it is inspired.
After a fight, Xialan and Berrant looked at each other and then slowly retreated to the Vorosen River with the defeated army.
The wide and deep Wolusen River welcomed countless dogs who were fleeing in panic. The turbulent water flow kept taking soldiers who were screaming for help. In front of them, there was an imperial tiger into the flock, and behind them, there was a river at the end of the road. Sadly, the defeated army did not even have the courage to fight with the water!
"Here you come!"
Finally, Berrant, who broke away from Xialan on the bank of the river, suddenly felt relieved.
"I sensed it."
Xia Lan's cavalry looked calmly at the enemy troops swarming in front of him.
"Sword Domain"
He muttered silently.
Then, he rushed forward alone without hesitation!
Countless swords, guns and arrows ravaged the enemies in his field like storms. The broken limbs and arms flew across the ground, and the blurred internal organs and flesh covered the ground. The terrifying and terrifying scenes stimulated everyone's eyes.
"There is an exception!"
As the coach, Elroy had no mind to kill Xia Lan, and his attention was all on the Wolosen River upstream of the Brenvig Mountains!
"Retreat! The entire army retreats immediately!"
In an instant, Elroy's face turned pale and he hurriedly roared to the messenger.
"Captain Elroy Legion! What's wrong?" The black-clad guard who was about to lead people to encircle Xia Lan was stunned.
"The sound of water flow! I sensed the violent current pouring down into the Brenweig forest! They want to drown us!" Elroy said furiously with his red eyes.
"But……"
The black-clad guard stared at the majority of the enemy soldiers who jumped into the Vorosen River in front of him, could it be...
"That's right! They want to die with us!"
"The problem is that it's too late to retreat now! And, are you willing to lose this war?" The black-clad guard gritted his teeth. "Don't forget that the other party's silver-white holy sword is still broken. As long as you kill him, you can at least regain your reputation!"
Elroy quickly calmed down, his eyes as sharp as a blade to stab Xia Lan in the distance, who was still killing wildly.
"The front and the side troops on both sides of the flanks can no longer be saved. I will send my orders again and do my best to encircle the enemy commander, and the middle and rear troops will retreat with me!"
"And you... come to see me with his head! If you fail to hunt, don't come back!"
