Chapter 5: The Remnant Army Commander ()

The bloody level of this fierce encounter can no longer be described as tragic.

Kate, who was charging in the front, and Griffili and his cavalrymen left the battlefield to the two sides as soon as they were about to contact Blood Rose. The Blood Rose Cavalry, who had already sorted out the queue and accelerated their advance, had no time to divide their troops to pursue them, so the Ninth Tenth Cavalry Regiment of the Menid Empire, who followed Griffili, was in trouble. The two sides quickly collided and fought completely in a melee.

At this time, escape and pray can only be a luxury or let them die faster. The brave ones win when they meet on a narrow road. In contrast, the Menidian cavalry, who are far less powerful than the Blood Rose, have no chance to escape and when there is no chance of life, they can only use swords, passion, unyielding, and death together to defend their humble dignity.

The battle was setting sun, and it was not until the last Menidian cavalry that fell, and it ended with the tragic victory of the Blood Rose Cavalry. In this battle, the blood Rose Cavalry was killed more than half of the Menidian cavalry and survived. The exhausted and injured everyone. The escaped Menidian cavalry had more than 4,000 people. At this moment, they had no capital to pursue and could only rest on the spot and wait for reinforcements.

This gave Griffili and the others plenty of time to escape. In fact, they were already running away with their heads in their arms at this moment - they ran away with their horses in their heads.

Of course, Griffili was still very satisfied with this battle that had his own director and harmed others for self-interest. The only thing that made him unhappy was that Kang Duo seemed to have seen through his tricks from the beginning, but he actually escaped. At this moment, he brought more than a thousand cavalry and still held the flag of the coach, following Griffili and the others towards the dark place.

After running away in the middle of the night, more and more war horses overdrawed their physical strength and fell to the ground with the soldiers on the horse. Seeing that the dark shadows ahead were obviously approaching the hilly areas outside the Dark Land, Griffili ordered his subordinates to rest for a while.

As soon as he got off the horse, Everray rushed to Griffily with several knights. His face was too distorted due to anger, and his eyes were filled with a fierce light of cannibalism. He shouted at him: "Griffily, you bastard, what do you say this time? Don't tell me that you are retreating again..."

The moment the group of people surrounded, Kate beside Griffili had already drawn out his sword and blocked Griffili. At the same time, four guards quickly ran out of the cavalry behind Griffili, and immediately guarded Griffili. The condensed fighting spirit that instantly appeared on his body showed their identity as a high-level warrior.

With these masters, Griffili saw that there were almost 3,000 soldiers here, and looked at the less than a thousand people behind Everre and Condo, and suddenly laughed proudly.

"Captain Everey, first find out the situation and attack me. Don't make me angry. Believe it or not, I will destroy you, the scoundrels." Griffili, who was full of people, also became bolder. He threatened the noble Everey like a rogue rogue.

"You...you are despicable and shameless bastard, in the name of the nobles, I will fight you!" Everrey threw the gloves on his hand to the side of Griffili's heels in anger.

"Dull?" Griffili squinted his eyes and looked at Everrey who was furious, with a playful smile on his face. "Do you want to fight one-on-one? Unfortunately, I have always hated one-on-one, so..." Griffili paused and gestured to the soldiers who were leaning against the horse behind him watching the show, "My duel is just a group of people fighting one-on-one. If you have no objection to this, start now."

The cavalry behind Griffili had no chance to fight against an elite corps like Blood Rose, but if the opponent was the subordinate of Everley, who was also a messy player, and if there were far more members of our own than the other, they would be happy to have fun, so they immediately put on the horse, looking eager to try, waiting for Griffili's order.

Everey was timid. He was never a rash person. He just came to Griffili to argue. Of course, this was also the intention of showing off in front of Condo. However, he obviously did not expect Griffili to fight unreasonably, and did not take the descendants of the prince at all. At this time, Everey had to look at Kang Duo for help, hoping that she would stand up and uphold justice.

Kang Duo didn't even look at this side. At this time, she got off the horse and was carefully combing the horse's beard. Perhaps in her eyes, Everre's life and death were not as important as her war horse.

However, the adjutant who was in charge of the flag of Kangdo could not bear it anymore. She glared at Griffie fiercely and said in a crisp female voice: "This is clearly a robbery. I feel ashamed of the nobles who have produced a scum like you."

It turned out that this adjutant who was wearing a full-cover feather helmet and was following Kang Duo in an endless manner was a delicate little girl, which was the voice of all the men present.

"Kalin!" Kang Duo, who was sorting out the saddle, suddenly made a sound. Her voice was cold and beautiful, with a different charm.

"What... Miss, that Griffili doesn't look like a noble knight at all. If he hadn't always taken the lead in running away this time, we wouldn't have fallen to this point." This maid named Karin seemed to have a very short relationship with Kang Duo, and she acted coquettishly in front of so many warriors.

"Stop talking!" Kang Duo suddenly raised his voice, or rather, it made the colder heavier in her voice.

We can imagine whether Kailin's face hidden in the feather helmet was already in tears at this time.

Of course, Griffili didn't want to fight with Everre in an internal fight with pursuers behind him. It was rare to see the Leng Beauty Kang Duo speak up. He naturally wanted to lead the disaster to the east. He didn't want to be beaten by Everre, who was revengeful in the melee that might happen in the future.

"Everre, compared to discussing the difference between escape and retreat, I think you should ask Commander Condo, her father, Ursa, the great commander of our Menid Empire, at all, why did she bring the flag of the commander? Don't tell me, this is the 'sacrificial' in the chivalrous code!"

This time, not only Everre, but also Condo's direct subordinates looked at her. If this was a strategy and sacrificed to achieve greater victory in part, this sacrifice would be a little too great. You should know that there were a total of 50,000 people, and there were many descendants of the powerful nobles here. No matter what kind of victory was for, even the emperor of the imperial world would not accept such sacrifices.

So everyone set their eyes on Condo's face, their eyes were no longer appreciating, indulging, becoming suspicious, and... a little angry!

Everyone has only one life, and sacrifices under any reason are sin, not to mention that they were regarded as victims from the beginning.

"You..." Kalyn looked like a hot guy. She was about to urge her to come forward and reason with Griffili, but was stopped by Kang Duo's cold eyes.

Kang Duo leaned the silver spear in his hand against the horse, walked to Griffili, pursed his lips, and said with a little apology with a cold and cold look: "Just Captain Griffili said, you were regarded as victims from the beginning of today's battle..."

There was an uproar at the scene. Some soldiers had already pulled out the swords in their hands, and even Averre was looking at Kang Duo in a cold sweat.

Kang Duo was unmoved and continued, "I also included..." At this point, Kang Duo's face appeared with a hint of sadness, and his cold eyes rolled inward. She looked around for a while, her eyes became blurred. "I can't understand such an order, but we are soldiers, and we must obey. For the sake of thousands of people of the Menidian Empire who suffered from war, I am willing to sacrifice for glory. I believe that our sacrifice is worth it, and it will be exchanged for greater victory. As for why the flag of the coach should stay among us, it is the highest military secret. Please tell me that I have no right to tell you."

When they thought that the noble Kang Duo was also a victim, the group of remnant defeated soldiers who were just angry felt a little better. Besides, it was not a glorious thing for a group of big men to threaten a girl, so they cursed Ursa in their hearts and retreated and went away.

"Wait!" Kang Duo suddenly called Griffili, who was about to go to rest. "From now on, I admit that you are the supreme commander of this army, but you must bring me and everyone here. Before I fall, this handsome flag cannot fall."

Griffilit was disgusted with the woman talking to him in a condescending tone. In fact, his original intention just now was to provoke the relationship between the two parties, so that Kang Duo could retreat and part ways with him, and completely drove the evil spirit away from him. However, he did not expect Kang Duo to give up his leadership and instead posted it up, which made Griffili accept it.

"What if I don't agree?" Griffily looked at the four senior guards and Kate around him, feeling that he had the capital to resist the order.

"Then I'll fight you!" Kang Duo glanced at the senior warriors around Griffili with contempt, "Do you want to give it a try?"

Is this temptation or a mysterious thing? Griffili was not sure. For things that were not sure, Griffili tried not to take risks. He turned his head and left, leaving a sentence, "Okay, I wish you a happy journey to the Dark Land in advance."

After resting for half an hour and eating briefly, this plaguing army, led by their new commander Griffili, set out on the road to escape again. Griffili rode on his horse and shouted to his subordinates who were about 4,000 behind him: "We are targeting the dark land, we will hide in the deep mountains and old forests, so you scumbags, better pray with me, that madman Gao Sa must not be interested in the deep mountains and old forests."

At this time, Karin beside Kang Duo asked worriedly: "Miss, is this really OK? I mean, can we really escape after the bad guy's command?"

Kang Duo nodded hesitantly. At least, she thought that Griffili could preserve most of her strength in the cruel battlefield and had a good ability to escape, which was also the reason why she handed over command.

Before entering the hills, Kangduo turned around and looked in the direction of Dollas. Her eyes were filled with worries. Her father, Ulsa, the commander of the southern border of the Empire, promised her in the morning that she only needed to hold the Blood Rose for two hours. After two hours, he would come over to meet her. Now, almost a day has passed. "Father, don't have any accidents!" Kangduo prayed in his heart. The horse under her crotch had already walked into the hills. The dense bushes instantly blocked her vision.

The periphery of the Eternal Dark Forest, composed of low Qiao Guan and various mounds, cannot pose too much trouble to the group of defeated soldiers led by Griffili - if hunger and fatigue are eliminated.

After riding in the bushes covered with thorns for three hours, they finally advanced into the Yongnan Forest the next morning. The black vegetation was tall, lush, and densely covered the sky and the sun, hiding countless mountain canyons in it, and of course there were more unknown dangers.

Yongnan Forest cannot shine into the forest for many years without light. The whole forest is filled with a layer of yellow mist. Although it is not as thick as hindering people's sight, this miasma formed by the rotten branches and leaves and the rotten bones of animals will cause dizziness and fatigue after walking for a long time, and will be difficult to breathe and even die. Because of this factor, Yongnan Forest has always been a forbidden place for ordinary people.

Of course, this could not bother Griffili and the others. Several family guards who were formerly adventurers, immediately found the leaves of a rhizome called "Serland" after entering the Eternal Dark Forest. After making trouble, they wrapped them in cloth strips. They put them on their nostrils every once in a while and sniffed them. The dizziness disappeared immediately, and replaced by a refreshing spirit, which can be said to have an immediate effect.

So, the fleeing people followed suit, which made Kate envious of Griffili's good luck again. Of course, it would be even better if the pursuers behind him didn't know this trick.

The miasma that was famous and stopped became a joke in their eyes. At best, it was just adding a different tone to them in this black forest, which could also be regarded as cultivating their sentiments.

But new troubles came again. After less than an hour of marching, the flat woodland reached the end. The Alquith Mountains cut off everyone's way. At this time, it was impossible to ride a horse on a slope full of strange rocks. The war horses that were cherished by the cavalry would undoubtedly become a burden.

Griffili did not order to go north along the mountains. It was not that he didn't want to do this. He felt that Blood Rose was not just one cavalry chasing them, but divided into several cavalry surrounding them. Although his intuition was never reliable, it was related to his wealth and life. He would rather walk a few more steps than take the risk. Seeing that he had not seen the shadow of Blood Rose cavalry in the rear for the time being, he decisively ordered the killing of the war horses, and after a full meal, he made the excess into jerky meat, and then continued to go west.

This order made most people reluctant, but when Kang Duo killed his war spear with one sword, the rest of them did not think too much and followed suit.

Flashes of blue smoke rose with the bonfire, adding some red light spots to this dim space. As the aroma of meat spreads, it began to attract some wild beasts to spy. However, facing the human warriors who were far more than they were, they could only sniff their noses unwillingly, and the idea that eating meat was not as good as smelling the fragrance was discouraged.
