As if they were receiving an amnesty, the coalition troops fled back in panic.
The Eagle Kingdom pursued the victory and killed hundreds more enemies.
Under the command of high-ranking nobles, the knights of the two countries retreated while fighting, and soon retreated to the edge of the city wall.
Without any hesitation, they jumped off the wall and began to evacuate in an orderly manner.
The coalition forces left corpses all over the ground, and blood stained the bluestone streets red.
Chris shook his body twice and fell to the side. Fortunately, Earl Ford had quick eyesight and quick hands to hold him up.
Looking at this young face, Ford felt slightly distressed.
He sent someone to deal with the battlefield, and he took Chris back to the second prince's room, set up a small bed next to it, and put Chris on it.
After a while, Uncle Chen walked in and asked with concern: "How is he?"
"It's okay, I just consumed too much and am a little exhausted. I just need to rest for a few days," Ford said.
"That's good." Uncle Chen breathed a sigh of relief, "Thanks to him this time, otherwise our war situation would have collapsed."
Ford nodded with deep understanding.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door. Ford stood up and opened the door. A knight stood respectfully outside the door and made a knightly salute: "Master Strategist, Master Ford."
Uncle Chen said: "Tell us about the battle situation."
"In this battle to defend the city, we lost 1,500 people, seriously injured 3,000, and suffered minor injuries. 5,000 enemy corpses were collected, and the number of injured enemies is unknown."
Uncle Chen and Ford looked at each other and could see the joy in each other's eyes.
This battle loss ratio is a great victory for the Eagle Kingdom.

Aniya came to Prince Shadow Leopard's tent and asked: "Why should we retreat when we can kill him if we hold on for a while longer?"
Prince Shadow Leopard said: "Our knights have been scared to death by him, and their combat effectiveness is less than 30% of what it was in its heyday. To kill one of them, we have to sacrifice three or four of them. Tell me, what are we going to do with it?"
Aniya shouted angrily: "You said it, we have no way out. When he grows up, no one can bear his revenge. Why are we retreating now?"
"Then we have to fight against the Eagle Kingdom to annihilate the whole army?" Prince Shadow Leopard asked: "You are the only sixth-level strong man, why don't you kill him instead of letting others die?"
Aniya explained: "Didn't I get held back by the enemy's sixth-level knight?"
"This is no excuse!" Prince Shadow Leopard said bluntly, "The number of our knights is several times theirs. At that time, you could have let other fifth-level strong men take your place and then assassinate him. But in fact, you were worried.
Does he have any back-up plan to drag you to death together?"
Aniya was speechless, and Prince Shadow Leopard pointed out his truest thoughts deep in his heart.
The two fell into a long silence, and finally Aniya asked: "Your Highness, what should we do next?"
Prince Shadow Leopard sighed and said quietly: "Retreat, the faster the better. We have no chance. Staying will only increase casualties."
I think you are worried about your life?
Aniya despised him fiercely in her heart, but she did not dare to say it out loud. After all, the two parties were still allies, and this relationship would only be dissolved after returning home.
Shortly after Prince Shadow Leopard's order was issued, the coalition forces of the two countries began to dismantle tents, evacuate with food, grass and other supplies, and leave this place of right and wrong.
On the city wall, the knights of the Eagle Kingdom let out cheers like a roaring mountain and a tsunami.
······
Two days later, Taote City returned to its previous order, and major shops began to open for business.
Except that the city gate is still sealed, there is no difference from before the pioneering order.
Chris slowly opened his eyes, his head was a little dizzy, and he felt aches and pains all over his body.
"You're awake, are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?" Uncle Chen's old face came over.
Chris rubbed his shriveled belly: "Well, I'm a little hungry."
"Okay, I'll send someone to prepare dinner for you right away." Uncle Chen walked outside and whispered a few words to the knight standing at the door.
Chris asked: "How long have I been sleeping? Have the two countries continued to attack the city?"
"For two whole days and two nights." Earl Ford smiled and held out two fingers, "Don't worry, they have withdrawn their troops that day."
"It's actually been so long." Chris stroked his forehead.
Not long after, a plate of fragrant steak was brought over.
Chris finished the meal in three or two bites, got up and walked out the door.
Earl Ford asked: "What are you going to do?"
Chris said: "That Shadow Leopard Prince is a particularly difficult opponent to deal with. We can't just let him go back. He will be a big problem in the future."
"Your injury hasn't healed yet. Don't force yourself. It's better to lie down and have a good rest." Uncle Chen came over and said.
Chris turned his head and said: "I have never planned to let the tiger go back to the mountain. Please help me prepare a map of the mainland, sir."
In the end, Uncle Chen couldn't defeat Chris and took out a parchment scroll.
Chris unfolded it and looked at it. After confirming that it was correct, he turned and left: "You two, please wait for my good news."
He came to the city wall, grabbed a passing knight and asked: "In which direction are the two countries' coalition forces going?"
"You can't see such obvious traces?" At first, the knight was a little impatient, but when he saw it was Chris, he immediately stood in awe and pointed to the west, "They went all the way west, and they didn't change.
Cross direction."
"Okay, got it." Chris patted the knight on the shoulder, then jumped off the city wall, summoned Lagen, and went straight after the coalition forces.
······
"Ania, can I sleep with you tonight?" Prince Shadow Leopard asked cautiously.
Aniya said with great disgust: "I have no interest in men!"
"You misunderstood." Prince Shadow Leopard pointed to the dark circles on his face and explained quickly, "I am very worried that that guy will catch up. I haven't had a good night's sleep in several days."
"Then you are worrying too much." Aniya consoled him, "That battle took a lot of energy from him, and he would not be able to recover for seven or eight days. And we still have tens of thousands of knights, so give him ten more
Don’t be brave enough to kill me, so just sleep peacefully.”
Prince Shadow Leopard retorted: "But your prince was assassinated by him under the protection of more than 20,000 knights."
"Oh, we have been traveling safely for two days, and we can return home in five days. Don't worry, you will come back alive."
If Prince Shadow Leopard didn't have a special hobby in that area, Aniya wouldn't mind protecting him personally.
