Heroes of the Invincible Knight

early morning

The first sunlight came from the east, stretching the shadow of the Overwatch City. Although the corpses on the city wall had been tidied up tacitly by both sides, the blood stains on the wall and the scorched black from the flames were difficult to clean up. All traces tell of the bloody battle that was taking place.

After a night of rest, the orc soldiers have begun to enter the combat positions on the city wall one after another under the command of the officers. Humans have launched fierce attacks in the past few days, without exception. Almost all the orcs have gotten used to this rule, and they were replaced early on duty last night. Some of the sergeants were stationed on the city wall, ready to deal with new attacks.

However, the human army did not continue to attack the city today. It just put on a stance of guarding against death, guarding against the orcs leaving the city to make a surprise attack. Sol led some troops early in the morning, bypassed the watch city, and went to meet the army from the west from the north. .

Soon, a dusty cavalry army appeared in Sol's sight. These cavalry armors were either damaged or covered with black ash and blood stains. Their faces were full of exhaustion, even the Duke of Ross who was in charge was no exception. .

Sol recognized the Duke of Ross. As soon as he saw the Duke of Ross, he led people to greet him. Under the cover of the dragon knight, the cavalry of the Western Territory Army successfully got rid of the entanglement of the orc reinforcements, and finally succeeded in completing the battle with Thor's army. Confluence, but the way of this confluence is much worse than expected.

In the original plan, after the Western Territory Army crossed Strom City from the south line, they could join forces with Thor's main force on both sides, breaking the orcs' arrangement in the Overwatch City in one go, and achieving the initial strategic goal, but the reinforcements that the orcs arrived unexpectedly quickly The addition of Bailong and Bailong made the plan seriously deviated.

"Your Excellency, Duke Ross, how is the situation of the Western Frontier Army?"

After the Western Territory Army joined the army that came to meet them, Sol also quickly met with Duke Ross.

"We encountered a large number of orc troops on the road, and now less than 150,000 troops have broken through, and the Fifth Army is almost completely wiped out."

The loss of the Western Territory Army is not insignificant. From the 300,000 troops at the time of the expedition, it has lost more than half of it now. Looking at the faces of the soldiers of the Western Territory Army, the unruly look when they just went out has long since disappeared. , only deep exhaustion remained.

"It's thanks to the Duke of the Northland this time. If he hadn't led the giant dragon to arrive in time, let alone bring out these 150,000 people, I'm afraid even I wouldn't be able to come back."

"Li Cha?"

"That's right, Your Excellency Richard should have already entered the legendary realm and stopped a terrifying white dragon."

"Holy steps?"

"Well, it's absolutely unmistakable. The white dragon, which can't even be hurt by the Scarlet Shadow Sword, has definitely entered the holy rank, and His Excellency Richard, the Duke of the Northland, can fight against that white dragon..."

Sol has not even seen the white dragon with his own eyes, let alone the power of the holy white dragon Amos. Naturally, he would not have such a high opinion of Richard, who can fight against the white dragon Amos. If another person told Sol that Richard was already a holy rank, Sol would naturally find it hard to believe it, but the Duke of Ross in front of him, both in terms of status and vision, was far higher than ordinary people. Speaking out of the mouth, the credibility of the information is naturally much higher.

"If it is a holy rank, this prince is afraid that no one will be able to say anything."

Sol lowered his head and was absent-minded for a while, as if he was digesting the news, which caused Duke Ross to be puzzled for a while.

"What prince?"

"Nothing, where is Li Cha now?"

Sol realized that this is not the time to discuss Richard's title. Seeing that the Duke of Ross came back with a large cavalry, but he hadn't seen Richard yet, he asked a little strangely.

"After your Excellency Richard fought those white dragons, I took the opportunity to break through the orcs' obstruction with the Western Territory Army. The dragon knights covering the retreat should be more aware."

The four dragon knights Sol sent were not useless, they were only one step slower than Richard's arrival at the battlefield, and the Western Region Army was able to keep these hundreds of thousands of people from being blocked by the orcs to break through and fight Sol Confluence also has their share of credit.

But when Rose said this, Harvey, the dragon knight, was a little embarrassed.

"Sorry, Lord Saul, we did not join the battle with the white dragon."

"what happened?"

In Sol's mind, since Li Cha and his giant dragons have already fought the white dragon, the four dragon knights should naturally join the battle. How could they protect the Western Territory Army and retreat after blocking the orc army? , but after thinking about it carefully, Sol reacted.

"Dragon?"

"Um."

Harvey nodded helplessly. He naturally planned to join the battle when he saw the fight between Bai Long and Li Cha's subordinates, but it is not up to the Dragon Knight to decide whether the battle will be fought or not. A battle like this is extremely risky. , the dragons sitting down by the dragon knight refused to participate. After all, there were dozens of white dragons, and the risk of joining the battle was too great. Among the remaining dragons in the Golden Dragon Kingdom, only Sol's partner was willing After making great efforts, the other giant dragons are waiting to return to the clan once the autumn is over, so they are still willing to fight to the death.

"well!"

"Forget it, go back to the camp first. Grand Duke Ross will lead the Western Frontier Army to rest for a day. Let's wait for Richard and prepare to retreat by the way."

The retreat means that this battle is anticlimactic, which means that all the previous investment has been completely in vain. For this battle, all the supplies are wasted, but the plan can't keep up with the changes. These orc reinforcements are real. Too soon, this reinforcement army that suddenly joined the battlefield completely broke Sol's plan. After hundreds of thousands of orcs joined the Overwatch City battlefield, the balance of strength between the two sides has obviously changed. The problem now is not how to win Overwatch The city is gone, but how can the army withdraw safely to Longxi Pass.

"Um!"

Ross didn't say much, and immediately ordered the Western Territory Army to continue to advance and return to the main camp of the main force of Longxiguan to rest.

When the Western Territory Army and Thor withdrew, they could already see the orc wolf riders behind the team from a distance. They looked deeply at the retreating human army, obviously a little unwilling to let the human army go so easily.

…

night

The bonfire of the human camp is brightly lit.

Sol, Ross and a group of senior officers gathered in the main tent. Sol still sat in the main seat, while Duke Ross sat in the second seat, and the other generals sat in turn.

"The orc reinforcements have arrived in Watch City. In addition to the 200,000 vanguard troops, there are also 300,000 rear troops. If they hadn't happened to meet the Western Territory Army, we would be in danger this time."

"this…"

"Master Saul, now that the orc reinforcements have arrived, it doesn't make any sense for us to continue attacking the Overwatch City. I suggest that we withdraw to Dragon's Breath Pass immediately."

After a short period of silence, someone immediately proposed to retreat. Now the orc reinforcements are coming much faster than expected. The previous combat goal is obviously difficult to achieve. When the orcs react, there will only be more and more reinforcements. Fast humans may not even be able to maintain their superiority in military strength, and retreating is already an inevitable choice.

Most of the remaining generals are unwilling. After all, this expedition has consumed so much manpower and financial resources, and the early progress has been relatively smooth. It is hard to be reconciled to failure at the last step, but reason tells them that if they don’t withdraw, maybe The whole army will be confessed here.

So no one raised objections, and they all looked at Sol eagerly, waiting for him to make the final decision.

"well!"

Sol sighed heavily, now withdrawing troops, if there is no major change, the Golden Dragon Kingdom is just waiting for a slow death.

Originally, the military strength of human beings was completely weaker than that of orcs. This time, the all-out attack has not achieved its goal, and the golden dragon is no longer willing to ally with humans. After autumn, the dragon knight, the signature of the golden dragon kingdom, will have no dragons. However, the orcs got the full help of the white dragon, and the form of human beings was a bit worse than Thor's worst expectation.

After shaking his head and forcing down these extremely negative thoughts, Sol still arranged the next task.

"Take a rest for a day. Starting tomorrow, the twelfth and nineteenth legions of the two wings will start to retreat. The imperial guards and the fourth and fifth legions will not move for the time being. They will build a fort in place to prevent the orcs from attacking."

"Yes, my lord!"

An army of millions cannot be withdrawn with a single word. The retreat is far more complicated than the attack. If the army withdraws in a disorderly manner, the army will collapse before the orcs come to attack.

Thor put his more than 200,000 direct descendants of the Imperial Army and the elite of the Western Territory Army at the end, which ensured the order and stability of the retreating troops to the greatest extent.

No matter what to do next, we must at least ensure that this army returns safely, otherwise human beings may not even have the qualifications to fight back.

"In addition, the 21st Legion, the... the day after tomorrow..."

"I think you should retreat immediately today without delaying for a minute!"

"who!"

"Take him down!"

Just as Sol continued to arrange the retreat time paths for each legion, a familiar voice interrupted his words, and there was a lot of noise outside the big tent.

"I am the Duke of the Northland, Richard the Guardian of the Two Realms."

"Let Master Li Cha come in!"

The soldiers at the door didn't know Li Cha, but Saul and Li Cha were very familiar. As soon as they heard Li Cha's voice, they immediately asked the soldiers to let him in.

Li Cha, who was wearing the dark red dragon king's power, walked into the big tent with disheveled hair. At this time, Li Cha was no longer handsome as usual. His whole body was covered in blood, with many burn marks on his body. What's more, half of his face was burnt black and red, seriously affecting and destroying his handsome face.

Sol was startled by his appearance at this moment. If he hadn't been familiar with Li Cha, knew Li Cha's voice, and was familiar with the temperament of the other party, it would be hard for Sol to imagine that the handsome and attention-getting Richard would actually become a This way.

"Li Cha, what's going on with you?"

"Fighted a holy rank white dragon."

"I don't have a big problem, but I'm afraid you don't have so much time to retreat slowly."
