After the defeat, Ivan Asen had no choice but to order the entire army to retreat in despair. The Northern Army inevitably collapsed. There was no orderly retreat at all, but a large number of fleeing, and these soldiers who fled in a hurry were already

They became the target of random massacres by the cavalry. In this open plain terrain, there was no place for the infantry to hide.

And half of this was actually due to Ivan Asen's deliberate choice, because his intuition told him that it was impossible to leave easily. He knew that Count Connotin was the person who wanted to kill him the fastest, and that one

Moria's little fox is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so he would rather let the soldiers under his command be abandoned and eliminated.

However, at this time, the coalition forces of Paladonnaon and Vadaritai were still pursuing them, with an obvious intention, which was to wipe out all the Selmium noble armies and end this protracted civil war.

The original pursuer now reversed his identity and became the one who fled in a hurry. Seeing enemies from all directions, the nobles of the Northern Army were also complaining. First of all, it was Burtonistein who had previously defected to the Northern Army.

The Earl actually once again showed his duplicitous nature and actually led his army to escape from the battlefield and watched while the northwest main road, which was crucial to the Northern Army, was cut off by the Vadaritai cavalry.

At this moment, the Selmium nobles found in despair that they were surrounded by enemies from all directions, and after fleeing, they did not even have the ability to organize their troops to continue resisting.

Is it true that there is no chance of turning around?!

The frightened nobles looked at the desperate scene in front of them, and a sense of powerlessness emerged in their hearts. At this time, some people had already had the idea of ​​​​surrender in their hearts. Although the dispute between the northern and southern nobles was fierce and contradictory, but compared with

Everything else is no longer important. Honor, loyalty and even dignity, as long as

If they can survive, they can all be abandoned. As long as Ivan Asen is sacrificed, Grand Duke Boril will definitely pardon them. This idea is not just for one or two people. In the eyes of the northern nobles, Ivan himself is their

The puppet was pushed out, and now that it is useless, it can be discarded.

But when the nobles turned their attention back to Ivan Asen, who had almost forgotten him before, they found that the young Grand Duke had already disappeared.

"Where is Grand Duke Ivan?!"

"Where did he go and why did he suddenly disappear?"

"He ran away. That kid actually ran away!"

The northern nobles who took a breath of air-conditioning never expected that Ivan Asen would actually escape under their noses! This was a serious matter. They felt their scalps were numb and the nobles couldn't help but become impatient. If it were Ivan

If Asen died, they wouldn't act like this.

Urgent, but now that he has completely disappeared, what can they use as a vote of trust to win the trust of Archduke Boril? Maybe the other party will regard him as deliberately harboring him. I'm afraid that it will be difficult to explain, but he will be

The Paladonnaon nobles seized the handle and added insult to injury.

"Chase, catch him back immediately! That kid wants to kill us."

A nobleman screamed and yelled, furious. At this time, they didn't have any respect for Ivan Asen. They were completely exposed. However, who would really do this? The situation is now in chaos. Where should they go to find it?

People go.

And this scene was all in the eyes of Ivan Asen at this moment. The former Grand Duke was now disguised as an ordinary soldier and mingled among the crowd. Looking at the poor people, Ivan had already guessed that this would be the case.

, once there is no profit, those guys will not hesitate to push him out as a victim. So he had been prepared before, but now he only needs to secretly observe and wait for the opportunity to escape from here.

Although he was indeed completely defeated this time, Ivan Asen is not discouraged. As long as he still has this life, he will one day make a comeback. But now these northern nobles absolutely cannot believe it, and after this war

The Sermium nobles, whose vitality was severely weakened, obviously had no hope.

As for going to the south, it is a dead end, so the only way is to leave here and go to Kievan Rus by sea. This is the only way he can think of. With the connections he has arranged before, as long as he manages it well, many things will happen.

He can definitely make a comeback in ten to five years.

As for Boril Asen, he has nothing to worry about. He is just a puppet used by Count Connotin without knowing it. The only person to be afraid of is Justinian. Ivan Asen has confidence in five or ten years.

To regain everything lost today, Ivan doesn’t care what incredible heights Justinian will reach in five or ten years.

Turning back and looking at the black fox war flag, Ivan, who came back to his senses, said coldly in his heart:

"Justinian, I will settle this account with you sooner or later, but before that, don't let others kill you - I hope you will be careful with that guy Connoldin, a lion will never be afraid of other beasts

fangs, but you must be careful with the poisonous fangs of snakes. After all this is over, that guy will not let you leave here safely with the Vadaritai people."

And at this moment, the northern nobles who were about to be wiped out by the Dumplings saw that enemy troops from all directions were trying to devour them. Suddenly, to the northeast of them, the Vadaritai cavalry that was originally there was empty for some unknown reason.

A hole, and it was like a door that symbolized survival, which immediately caused the Northern Army soldiers who were fleeing for their lives to look there and flee without thinking about their own lives. Looking at this scene, the Selmium nobles looked at each other, not daring to

Believe your eyes, why would the enemy do this? This obviously looks like a trap, as if it is deliberately attracting them to fall into the trap. But when they watched the other fleeing soldiers heading there safely,

However, these nobles had no choice but to escape, because if they did not take action, the Southern Army would catch up later. Once those sworn enemies came to kill them, they would inevitably die without a burial place.

"Let's give it a try! Staying here is a recipe for death. Maybe there really is a way out."

Not only did someone shout, but the soldiers behind the nobles also responded one after another - no one wants to wait here to die! And the nobles, you look at me and I look at you, there seems to be a struggle in the eyes.

But in the end they had to give in. Because if they refused, then the thousands of soldiers around them who were fighting for their lives would kill them.

And at this moment, when the northern nobles gave the order to retreat, the outcome of this decisive battle was completely decided at this moment...
