The defeated enemy troops fled like a tide. Viscount Jarvis did not let the musketeers pursue them too far because it was going to be dark soon.

Continuing to pursue is not a wise move. The People's Army has never conducted night march training. When it gets dark, the road will be unclear and soldiers can easily get lost.

In addition, night is also a time when various monsters are active, and you may be attacked.

In addition, the large number of corpses left after the battle must be properly disposed of in time, otherwise, a plague may occur.

Therefore, the pursuit of the remnant army can only wait until tomorrow morning.

Anyway, it would be impossible for the defeated army to return to Dongsheng Fortress in just one night. They would need to sleep outside for at least two nights.

This battle was truly brutal, with corpses, mutilated limbs, and blood everywhere. Almost all of the dead enemies had fearful faces on their faces, and they died with their eyes open.

Since this was the first time for the People's Army to fight a human army, some soldiers experienced adverse reactions such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, etc. after seeing this scene.

Viscount Jarvis asked the soldiers who felt unwell to go back and rest first, while the others stayed to deal with the enemy's corpses and look for anyone who was lucky enough to survive.

In the end, there was an unexpected gain. The lizard man discovered a crazy noble man with disheveled hair. There was drool at the corner of his mouth and he kept shouting "Black ghost, don't come here!".

The noble was quickly sent to the dungeon and imprisoned. Owen came down later to check, but he didn't expect that the man was Victor Coret.

After this battle, he was directly frightened.

This mental endurance must be too poor. Obviously in this battle, the nobles did not rush too far forward.

Seeing Victor in this state, Owen couldn't help but feel sad. The last time they met, he was very arrogant, but now he has ended up like this.

As for the black ghost he mentioned, he probably refers to the high-speed iron ball fired from the artillery. Because the speed is too fast, the naked eye can only capture the black afterimage.

Frightened into a fool by gunfire, Victor is undoubtedly the first person in this world.

Just as he was about to leave, Owen smelled the smell of urine. This guy actually peed his pants!

Considering that he would have to take him to chase the remnants of Duke Eddie's army tomorrow, Owen had no choice but to ask someone to help him take off his armor and change into a set of clean clothes.

After all, he is the eldest son of the Coret family, so Victor should still be worth a lot of ransom.

I just don’t know if the Corrett family is willing to redeem him now that he has gone crazy.

Never mind him, Owen is unwilling to let Victor continue to be imprisoned in the dungeon of Border Guard Town, and plans to send him to the dungeon of Dongsheng Fortress.

…

Duke Eddie's lungs were about to explode.

When the army fled, no one was willing to listen to the supreme commander's orders no matter how loudly he roared.

That group of mercenaries were disobedient. Even Duke Eddie's men did not obey the command and only focused on escaping for their own lives.

Seeing that the defeat of this battle was certain, he had no choice but to urge the groom to retreat with the flow of people.

I don't know how far I retreated, but when the sky turned dark, Duke Eddie and the remaining troops found a place to camp and rest.

Although some of the scattered knights and mercenaries followed the light of the fire and found the camp and reunited, there were still many people who were missing.

Since those damn farmers abandoned their wheelbarrows and fled without authorization, the remaining army was now extremely short of food. Duke Eddie had to order the knights to select and slaughter several injured horses to satisfy their hunger.

In the tent in the middle of the camp, the main nobles and knights of the four major families gathered together, and everyone looked unhappy.

I originally thought it would be an easy battle to crush the opponent, but I didn't expect that it would be my side that was crushed.

"My son Victor is missing! Has anyone seen him? Tell me!"

When he found that his eldest son was missing, Count Koret lost control of his mood. He grabbed someone and asked, "Did you see it? What about you?"

The nobles who were asked all shook their heads, saying that they were too confused at the time to pay attention to where Victor was.

At this moment, Count Koret was very regretful. He originally wanted Victor to see what war was, so he allowed him to go out with the army.

It's better now. After losing the battle, his son is missing, and the situation is still in danger. Count Koret is worried to death.

"Don't ask, Count Koret." Count Pearl said impatiently, "If your son had not been able to escape from the battlefield, he would have died there."

"What did you say!"

Upon hearing this, Earl Koret became furious and strode over to prepare for a fight with Earl Pearl.

"What do you want to do? I'm just telling the truth." Count Pearl put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

"Stop making noise!"

Duke Eddie shouted angrily: "I didn't call you together to find my son, let alone start a fight!"

As soon as the Duke got angry, everyone present shut their mouths and fell silent instantly.

"snort!"

Count Corrett also had to give Duke Eddie some face, so he had to retreat and look away angrily.

Seeing this, Count Youm on the side comforted him: "Count Koret, many people are missing now. Your son may not have died on the battlefield. He may have just missed us when he was escaping."

"...I understand." Earl Koret's mood stabilized slightly.

Looking across the crowd, Duke Eddie slowly expressed his doubts.

"Who can tell me what the weapons used in Border Guard Town are like? Why can they hit so far? Even trebuchets may not be able to throw such a long distance, and the stones thrown can be seen, but we can't even reach the opposite side.

Nothing projected can be seen.”

"I actually saw five vehicles with wheels behind the defense line on the opposite side. There were huge black iron pipes on them. When they were used, fire and smoke seemed to come out of them, and then a heavy iron ball came out.

Projected."

Earl Pearl stroked his beard and described it while thinking about it.

"Moreover, the short sticks held by the guards on the defensive line also seem to be a terrifying weapon."

"I rushed behind the team, I know."

One of the knights suddenly raised his hand and said with a slightly trembling voice: "That short stick can shoot things, and even the armor can't stop them. I saw with my own eyes that the knight in front was instantly shot into a hornet's nest."

"Hiss—so scary?!"

Hearing this, everyone gasped. When did Bianzhu Town master such a powerful weapon? They actually knew nothing about it.

The nobles present didn't pay attention to what was going on in Border Guard Town at all, so naturally they didn't know about it, but there was one person who knew it well.

That person is Duke Eddie.

A little cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he pretended to be calm.

When setting up the Border Guard Town last year, Duke Eddie heard that the Marquis of Eisen had developed some new weapons.

At first, he naturally didn't believe it. Later, when Border Guard Town blocked the undead monster's initial attack, he became slightly suspicious.

But that was all. When he sent out troops, Duke Eddie arrogantly believed that his army had a numerical advantage and would definitely not lose.

He never expected that the opponent's new weapon could actually reverse the numerical disadvantage and give him a huge defeat.

I was careless!

No! It's not my fault, it's all the fault of the new king White Wells who set a time limit, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a hurry to attack the border town.

Duke Eddie didn't want to blame the fault on himself, so he blamed White.
