At the moment when Acris and his cavalry were destroyed, the other side blew the horn of retreat, and the enemy finally couldn't stand it anymore.
Four lord knights and the commanders of the four legions died one after another. Even if the church had more people and no longer cared about it, the nobles under them could not bear such sacrifices.
If the wizards of the monastery performed their duties well, protected their own legions, dealt a powerful blow to the enemy, and played their due role, then the wizards and priests of the Church of the Scythe Bearers simply went to the battlefield.
Go through the motions.
No, these cowards didn't even go to the battlefield.
They symbolically released a large magic shield for the coalition a few dozen steps away from the city gate, and then used the summoning spell to consume their own mental energy before fleeing back to the city as if they were running for their lives, as if they would be saved if they stayed on the battlefield for one more second.
It's like it's killing them.
They had only seen this kind of speed when the other party was making money.
But this was not enough for them to make up their mind to escape. The remaining three lord knights saw Ian take action again during the melee. The sword turned into an angel and directly took away a lord knight, which directly frightened them.
If they are afraid that the other party will find them, then they are 100% unable to escape the fate of death.
Such terror, such a threat, but no one took action to stop it.
The noble Bishop Kami Sturman promised to respond, but they did not see any of the wizards they promised to send.
What they saw was only the wizards of the monastery, regardless of the danger, hunting and killing in the melee of tens of thousands of people.
Compared with them, the other party is more like a devout believer than a wizard.
"Damn Kami, you shameless person who broke your promise and got fat!"
The three remaining lord knights looked at each other and thought of retreating in unison.
They deeply understand that if they fail, they will abandon their armor and change their family, but if they fight to the death, they will definitely die.
Although these nobles say they are willing to dedicate everything and sacrifice everything for the sickle wielder, when it comes to life and death, the "believers" care most about their own lives.
So without any contact, the legion commanders unanimously ordered the guards to stop the enemy, and then immediately retreated with the sergeants and cronies. When the inner city gate was only about a thousand yards away, they gave the order to retreat.
's horn.
The horn sounded, and the soldiers on the church side were stunned for a second or two, thinking they heard wrongly.
But when they raised their heads and looked around, they suddenly found that their commanders and the most important military flag of the legion had disappeared without knowing when.
The battle-hardened soldiers immediately came to their senses and were abandoned.
"Damn it!"
The clever soldier cursed loudly, then gave up his opponent and ran away without looking back. Only the soldiers whose nerves were numbed by the blood were still resisting stupidly.
There are always a few people who are not afraid of death. After the shrill horn sounded, a great rout quickly occurred. Countless soldiers fled towards the city gate.
What is chilling is that the lord knights rushed into the city immediately after issuing the retreat order. They had people close the city gate halfway so that when they entered the city, they could quickly close the city gate and block the enemy from outside the city.
And most of the soldiers have apparently been abandoned by them.
The men of the Third Legion immediately chased after them. Although they didn't know why the enemy they had been fighting back and forth just now suddenly ran away without their armor, this did not affect their continued fighting.
For a time, the entire plain was a scene of people chasing death and drifting to the north, bleeding and drifting.
The lord knights such as Klimans had received orders early in the morning. No matter what the cost, they must
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
We need to capture the city of Quimper today.
Even if Ian had not killed the lord knight, even if all the wizards were slaughtered by the opponent's cavalry, the mentors would not take action.
But Klimans and the others must take this city.
This is a military order, this is war.
You must know that the monastery tried its best to collect seven legions and nearly 18,000 people, while the other party sent more than 16,000 legions to defend the city. One can imagine the disparity in strength between the two sides.
If it takes a long time to fight for the city of Quimper, then when can we reach Coventry?
Clapham, who was arrogant by nature, could never tolerate such a situation, so after figuring out the enemy's general strength, she pressed on the entire Third Army in one fell swoop, hoping to decide the outcome today.
The war has reached this point, the positional battle has come to an end, and the monastic side is temporarily in the lead.
Another more important offensive battle began quietly in the pursuit of the Third Army.
Clemans left one of his weaker deputies to integrate the legion. He was responsible for leading the infantry back and collecting the prisoners.
Clemans and the other nine lord knights took the remaining cavalry and most of the powerful non-commissioned officers and guards to chase the fleeing enemies.
The remaining soldiers along the way are not their target. As long as the opponent is not blocking their way forward, they will not care. Their target is the city gate.
Yes, they have to take it down before the opponent closes the city gate, otherwise, they will face a rock-solid high city.
Bows and arrows, falling rocks, rolling logs, hot oil.
Maybe the opponent doesn't have time to heat the oil, but anything dropped on the high wall can kill them. The Lord Knight cannot jump to the city wall more than 10 yards high for the time being.
"Quick, quick, quick!"
Clemans whipped the horses severely, and after killing the opponent's cavalry, they captured more than 500 uninjured horses, so they had 500 more cavalry out of thin air.
More than a thousand cavalry rushed towards the city of Quimper in an aggressive manner. There, the opposing lord knights entered the city and the city gate was immediately closed.
The small group of smart and fast soldiers rolled and crawled and finally ran into the city in embarrassment. Behind them, a large group of broken soldiers were still cursing and running, and their weapons and armor were lost along the way.
There were still 500 yards to go, and the city gate was almost closed, and only two people were allowed to enter abreast.
400? The city gate was closed again, allowing only one person to enter.
"Fuck, do you really have to start all over again?"
While running fast, Klimans cursed.
300 yards, it was difficult for the defeated soldiers to get in even if they turned sideways, but the soldiers who fled back to the city gate still squeezed in desperately, which slowed down the opponent's closing the door to a certain extent.
The three nobles who had withdrawn from the battlefield and breathed a sigh of relief only frowned slightly when they saw this, but did not order the soldiers to drive away the deserters who were crazily squeezing in. After all, there were still more places to employ people.
And more importantly, through the cracks in the city gate, you can see that the opponent's cavalry is still far away.
"That's stupid!"
Clemans cursed loudly, and the other lord knights also had serious expressions on their faces.
If they cannot be prevented from closing the city gates, then they will have to engage in a traditional siege battle with each other.
As we all know, siege warfare is the most cruel and difficult of all wars. No one is willing to take on such a fatal task unless necessary.
but
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Clapham's cruel military orders and indifferent expression were both a heavy weight on their hearts, forcing them to take down the city of Quimper in one go today.
"Damn, he can run faster than a rabbit!"
At the city of Quimper, the soldiers inside began to drive away the soldiers with spears, which meant that they no longer gave Klimans and the others time.
"There is nothing we can do, prepare to attack the city!"
They slowed down and gave up. After all, the other party slipped away too fast, leaving too little time for them to catch up.
But Julian Channing, the captain from Sentinel's War, didn't know what giving up was. He still urged the horse under his crotch desperately because he heard Clapham's order: this battle must be captured before the end.
Quimper.
"It would be great if I could break through the title knight!"
An idea flashed through Julian's mind. Because the titled knight controls space and can fly, he can reach a distance of just 100 yards in an instant.
It's a pity that the monastery has only accumulated two titled knights for so many years. In the long history, there are more than twelve lord knights in Norton Mountain who have signed symbiosis contracts with the domainers, but so far,
No one can break through, which shows how difficult it is to become a titled knight.
But at this moment, a voice came from above his head, which made him overjoyed: "Lord Qian Ning, I will send you there." It turned out that Ian had arrived at some time, and he used the flying spell to catch up with them.
I saw Ian pull out his magical and powerful lightsaber. The opponent's lips squirmed slightly and said a spell. The lightsaber dispersed with a burst of light, quickly came behind Julian, and turned into a pair of wings.
A sound brought him quickly towards the city gate.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the city gate that had not yet been completely closed.
The next moment, Ian and Clemans also landed here.
Just like that, in the midst of a large number of defeated troops, two lord knights jumped into the city gate one after another and started killing, leaving Ian, an extremely fragile wizard, in the crowd, as if he had fallen into a pack of evil wolves.
little sheep.
But Ian is not Mianyang, and those defeated troops are not evil wolves.
Previously, Prescott saw Clemans leading all the lord knights to counterattack, and told Ian Clemans was preparing to lead people to capture the city gate. He did not know Clapham's order, but he learned from the nine lords
The knights came out in droves, not even caring about the prisoners running around, and quickly concluded that they were determined to capture the city of Quimper in one fell swoop.
After hearing this, Ian had no intention of getting involved. But with his mental power, he sensed that the other party was closing the door with all its strength, and that Julian and the others were relatively far away.
He also heard the last dejected words of the lord knights.
Although Ian did not understand military affairs, he also knew that attacking the city would kill a large number of people, and that the battle they had won with so much hard work would be wiped out and become meaningless, with both sides returning to the starting point.
The killing suddenly seemed to be endless, and the blood and fire seemed to never stop.
With this in mind, Ian used his remaining achievement points to activate the flying spell, and sent Julian and Clemans to the city gate before the other party closed the city gate completely.
While the two of them blocked the city gate and started killing people inside, Ian ignored the defeated troops, recalled the Ascended Gods, and flew towards the lord knights again.
In less than a minute, the ten lord knights who were quickly sent to the city gate by Ian completely killed all the nearby soldiers, whether they were ordinary soldiers, knight attendants or senior knights, in this kind of situation
In the face of multiple high-end combat powers, there is basically no one who can resist for even a second.
