On the battlefield, there are stumps and broken arms everywhere, as well as corpses burned to charcoal by meteors and fire showers. In addition to the strong smell of blood, there is also a faint smell of barbecue and the unique smell of the sea in the air.
The smells mixed together, emitting a disgusting smell.
However, the expressions of the soldiers in the North hardly changed much. The 200,000 troops mobilized this time were all elite divisions who had participated in several fierce battles. They were almost used to the broken limbs and broken arms on the battlefield.
There will no longer be the nausea and vomiting experienced when entering the battlefield for the first time.
At this time, the shouts of killing have not stopped. Although the Sea Clan has been generally defeated, not many Sea Clan have surrendered. Most of the Sea Clan are either still trying to escape or are stubbornly resisting.
The situation of the Sea Tribe is just like that between humans and orcs. The races are too different and it is difficult to achieve trust. They are unwilling to surrender unless they have to. However, the hatred between the two parties is not as deep as with the orcs.
Even if millions of Sea Clan warriors have collapsed, it will be very troublesome to completely eliminate them. Except for a small number of those who surrendered and died in battle, there are at least 7 to 800,000 Sea Clan soldiers who are fleeing or resisting. Defeat them.
It only takes a day or two, but a week may not be enough to pack it up.
At this time, Richard had returned to the ground. Looking down from the sky, the entire battlefield was chaotic like a piece of crumbled pie. It was not easy to find the escaped Neptune immediately in this chaotic situation.
, it won’t do much if he continues to turn around in the sky on his own.
"Continue to keep an eye on those elite sea patrol guards of the sea tribe. Pay attention to the teams that are well-organized. If you find the sea king, you must capture him alive. Do you understand?"
"Yes, sir!"
After giving instructions to his men, Richard went back to rest surrounded by a small number of personal guards. The soldiers who took care of his daily life had prepared hot water. After a fight, he was stained with a lot of blood, and sweat and blood were mixed together.
The feeling of sticking it to the body is not pleasant. When possible, Richard still pays great attention to the quality of his personal life.
On the other side, some of the escaping sea people almost subconsciously ran away in the direction they came from, hoping to return to the sea as soon as possible. However, what was waiting for them behind was the undead army and the system army led by Catherine who were waiting for them.
.....
"Your Majesty, there are enemies ahead, human armies, and those skeleton monsters!"
Neptune and several senior officials escaped quite quickly, taking advantage of the night to quickly escape the battlefield. After being pinned to the ground and rubbed repeatedly by humans, the Neptune generals finally made some progress and finally moved to cover Neptune's retreat.
Using his brain, he used a trick to divide the still-controllable army into several groups and advance in different directions. He successfully led some of the pursuers away, and then got mixed up in the fleeing stream. After a night of escaping, he successfully approached the original enemy.
Landed.
It was only when they fled here that they discovered that the way back was cut off. Skeleton monsters controlled by humans had cut off the entire road. If they wanted to return to the original landing place, they had to break through the human army and the undead army that blocked the road.
"Your Majesty, I suggest we take a detour. Humans are already prepared here."
"How to make a detour? The human pursuers are right behind us. If we take a detour, we are very likely to be entangled by the human pursuers. If the cavalry also catches up, they won't be able to escape."
Several sea tribe generals had different opinions again, but it was obvious that the combat effectiveness of the Northland army, especially the thousands of cavalry, left a deep psychological shadow on them.
"How about we escape directly to the south and enter the sea from the big cliff in the south."
"From the south? No, the cliff in the south is more than fifty meters high. The rock wall is as steep as a knife. There are rocks below. If you fall, you will die on the rocks. Even the blood warriors may not be able to go down safely.
.”
"As long as His Majesty can leave."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of several senior members of the Sea Tribe had different expressions. Some nodded secretly, while others secretly complained in their hearts. The Sea King could leave, but it was difficult for them, bloodline generals whose strength was equivalent to the peak of the Great Knight, to return from the south.
, but Neptune’s safety is the most important, and it is definitely the right thing to do, and no one dares to speak out against it.
Although Bengchang Island is large, not every place is suitable for retreat. The height of more than fifty meters is a dead end for all sea clans who are not at the sky level. Among the sea clans present, there are only three-pronged sea clans.
The Halberd's Sea King has a chance to escape from the south.
There was indeed no shortage of loyal people among the Sea Tribe generals present. It didn't matter whether he could escape or not, as long as Sea King could escape, he was immediately advised to evacuate from the south.
But at this time, Neptune shook his head and rejected the proposal.
"The defeated armies all went north or east. There were opportunities to leave in both directions, but almost no one escaped south. It was too obvious for us to go south. The humans in the sky would definitely notice something was wrong and go south.
It’s too far, and we can’t reach the seaside in one night. We will be discovered by the humans in the sky at dawn, and they will lead the soldiers on a dead end. Are they really willing to follow us?”
"Your Majesty, the elite of the royal court are willing to die for you at any time. Please do not doubt their loyalty."
Neptune did not respond, just shook his head.
Immediately, another sea tribe general suggested:
"Your Majesty, we can secretly gather the broken troops, concentrate our elite forces to attack the skeleton monsters on the opposite side, open a way, and break out before the human pursuers can catch up."
"Are you sure?"
Neptune seemed to be more interested in the idea of a frontal breakthrough and asked the other party.
"Your Majesty, there is no certainty, but I think the possibility of success is very high."
"What's the reason?"
"Now the main force of the human army is still delayed more than forty miles away by the resisting warriors. The human dragons and those giants have not appeared. The skeletons on the opposite side only look scary, but their actual combat power is only slightly better than those of the lower-level warriors.
If you are stronger, I can smash the skeletons and open a hole with a single charge with the patrol guards. As long as the dead corpses that retain their flesh and blood are more difficult to deal with, but there are not many of them, so as long as the bloodline warriors take action, they can be killed quickly.
"
"We don't have to destroy all the enemy troops, we just need to open a breach and leave."
It was almost a consensus between both parties that the skeleton soldiers were not very powerful in combat. Even the generals of the Sea Tribe saw that the intercepting troops were mainly composed of skeleton soldiers, and they also thought about breaking through the interception of the undead army and breaking out.
"Aren't there still some humans in the team?"
"There are not many of them, and the combat effectiveness of the human army is not as good as that of the patrol guards. They cannot stop us."
Obviously, these sea people looked at the system army and only regarded them as ordinary Northland troops. At most, they were better equipped and more elite. Those big men wearing red cloaks and spiked armor looked really intimidating, but their numbers were also small.
Not much. After hearing what the general said, the surrounding sea tribes all nodded. They quite agreed with this suggestion.
Unless it is absolutely necessary, everyone wants to preserve more of the power of the royal court. Although there are not many troops around them, there are still thousands of elite patrol guards and hundreds of bloodline warriors. If the gap is opened, they should be able to run more.
It's better than just having Neptune run away alone.
Of course, they felt that it was not feasible and they still had to wait for Neptune to make the final decision. Several senior leaders of the Sea Tribe were looking at Neptune eagerly, waiting for him to make the final decision.
At this time, they were on the run and they were racing against time. Neptune did not hesitate for too long and made a decision in his heart.
"First wait for the defeated troops to attack the opponent's defense line. You can secretly collect some of the defeated troops without being too obvious. When I find the opportunity, I will personally lead the blood warriors and patrol guards to attack. After the breakthrough, don't think about fighting. Just retreat eastward and run all the way to the sea.
.”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Act now!"
....
On the other side, almost all the gryphon knights were circling and collecting ropes in the sky south of the battlefield. They were afraid that they would not be able to see the ground clearly. Richard even dispatched some cavalry to investigate south.
Neptune's judgment is correct. What Li Cha is most worried about is that Neptune abandons the army and runs away alone, heading south, relying on his own strength to return directly to the sea from the cliff of more than fifty meters. In this way, Li Cha will
There is a question mark as to whether the reconnaissance mission can be completed. With a large army spreading reconnaissance force to the south, it is almost inevitable that the Sea King will be discovered if he runs south.
Because attention was focused on the south, some small commotion among the fleeing sea tribe in the east was not discovered for the time being. However, this was not Richard's mistake, but his absolute confidence in the power deployed by the east.
"kill!"
"Smash these skeletons and we will have a chance to return to the sea!"
"Rush over!"
The Sea Clan's defeated troops, whose retreat was blocked, showed amazing courage. Those skull faces were no longer so scary, because they all knew that if they couldn't crush these guys, they would not be able to return to the sea. They were a group at this time.
Those who want to go home will have to face their wrath if they stop them. However, although they originally struggled to attack the defense line arranged by the undead army, the attack of the defeated army was basically unorganized. They gathered a group of people and fought hard.
Go up and attack the defense line of the undead army, smash a few skeletons and try to break out.
Sandro can easily kill them by using any tricks. As long as he takes the initiative to open a gap, these sea tribe soldiers who were still fighting hard will immediately lose most of their momentum and flee, and their original companions will become
The stepping stone on the road to escape is just to run faster than them. The skeleton soldiers take the opportunity to follow and pursue. They can easily kill a large number of Sea Clan soldiers at a very small cost, and it is basically impossible for the Sea Clan soldiers to really escape. Before
The gap opened is usually an illusion, and it will soon fall into the pocket formation arranged by Sandro.
This trick is very simple. Of course, normal troops would not fall for it, but a group of broken soldiers could not think so much and could easily fall for it. However, this time the broken soldiers attacking the defense line were obviously different.
"boom!"
A strong patrol guard swung his sword with both hands and easily smashed a skeleton. The huge force caused the skull's head to burst open. The soul flame flashing in the eye sockets was extinguished instantly, and then it spun around again.
After cutting off several skeleton soldiers, the surrounding sea warriors also took the opportunity to rush forward to expand the victory, and quickly opened a large gap in the undead army's weak defense line. This defense line was originally brought by Sandro
Of course, it can't withstand the impact of a group of elite patrol guards if it lures the enemy.
According to the next script, Sandro will command the skeleton soldiers on both wings to press against the gap, and leave an escape path for the sea tribe to see hope and escape, so that the undead army can easily chase and kill the defeated troops.
, only this time, the Sea Warriors who had torn apart the defense line did not rush to escape towards the "escape path" left by Sandro under the pressure of the skeleton soldiers on both sides, but continued to expand the gap on both sides, nor blindly.
The operation was still waiting for the subsequent influx of Sea Clan warriors. More and more Sea Clan warriors finally broke through. The defense line composed of skeleton soldiers looked like it was about to be overwhelmed. The entire attack process of this group of Sea Clan warriors seemed very effective.
The rules and regulations are not at all like a group of broken soldiers rushing into each other randomly.
...
"Your Majesty, the gap has been opened, and these skeletons are indeed vulnerable."
"Well, let all the blood warriors and patrol guards follow me and prepare to break out immediately!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The sea king held the trident and looked at the sea warriors fighting bravely in front. The clouds on his face finally dissipated a little. Fortunately, the priest suffered a great loss. No one can threaten his status for the time being. As long as he can return to the sea, he will still be
The king of the sea tribe will never go ashore to fight with humans again.
The Sea Tribe has already made preparations for the final attack, and Sandro on the other side also showed a sinister smile.
"Lady Catherine, the big fish still hit us, Jie Jie Jie."
Catherine and Sandro are both top-notch generals who have fought hard in countless battles. They noticed the anomaly on the Sea Tribe side almost instantly, and they were not worried at all that the Sea Tribe could get through their defenses.
Instead of escaping, I started to feel excited that I was about to be done.
Catherine, who had never given Sandro a good look, actually smiled slightly, and then ordered her system warriors to tighten the defense line. When the Crusaders moved behind her, the armors began to collide with each other again, making a clanging sound, which was even more critical.
Several outstanding swordsmen also took off their swords from behind. The power of the sword on the door panel was definitely beyond the expectations of the Sea Clan...
