From the orcs, Ander had already known that Marquis Karan had betrayed the alliance, so the ending of today's battle was already as expected by him.

Without the orcs letting water, how could Marquis Karan's army quietly sneak into the vicinity of Safford?

And Ende waited until this time to launch an attack, but it was also the result of his intentional choice.

First of all, he would have come out early, at most he would defeat Marquis Karan's troops and the western camps that were used as bait by the Kingdom of Ian. It would be impossible to turn the situation around the war. All 2,500 people joined the battle, and he could not deal with the 30,000 elite soldiers who were in line.

Secondly, only when the overall situation of the Ian Kingdom has been determined and the army pursues the city, the organizational level and attention will drop to the lowest point.

‘Strike halfway through the river’ is not only used when the army crosses the river.

As for the third point, it is a bit ulterior motive - if Prince Dwayte is really rescued, then it may not be so smooth that Ender wants to split the territory.

After all, Princess Heloise and he each need their own needs, and he needs the great title brought by the Princess; and Princess needs him to stand alone and block the pressure from the Kingdom of Ian and the Kingdom of Orcs, so as to steadily swallow the southern part of the Kingdom of Abilee, which originally belonged to the Royal Family of Abilee.

As for the pressure from Patleme, Gilt's country and the elves after annexing the southern part of Abbey, it is not a big problem. As Heloise's status, as long as he passes political transactions, he is expected to transform the pressure from Patleme and Gilt's country to help.

As for the Elf Clan's Emerald Eye Tribe, they have fought for five tuberculosis and seven injuries in recent years, and have long been war-weary. As long as Ender can block the orcs and Ian Kingdom, it goes without saying that the elves will definitely run away by themselves.

What Heloise can do, but Ender can't do.

If he occupied Abbey's southern region, he would declare war on Gilter and Patleme the next day.

At that time, with the orc Kingdom and Ian Kingdom coming to take advantage of the situation, Ander could not hold on even if he had three heads and six arms.

But if Heloise blocked the south side, as his large rear, and granted him legal title, Ender could concentrate on dealing with the Orc Kingdom and the Ian Kingdom.

As long as these two sides cannot join forces, Ande can let go of the battle no matter which side they deal with.

At this time, Ander immediately lifted his halberd, and there was only a team of 100 light horsemen beside him.

He did not rush to the front line, but stood in the darkness that could not be exposed to the fire, quietly looking at the bloody tide army that was hunting the soldiers of the Ian Kingdom.

He is an idol in the army and a symbol of invincibility. He should turn the tide and support the generals, rather than robbing the military merits of the soldiers when the war goes smoothly.

In terms of elite level, the bloody tide army of most of the elite legions of the Abilee Kingdom is still above the Ian Kingdom army - at least when the cavalry representing the most elite force of the Ian Kingdom have entered Suffolk City.

In terms of strength, only 2,500 Blood Tide Army soldiers are naturally far from comparing with the soldiers of the Ian Kingdom Army with a total of 30,000 (soldiers are needed for several other camps in the Ian Kingdom and other towns stationed in other towns).

But in the darkness, if people are terrified, even if there is no enemy, the army will blow up the camp itself, let alone being squeezed and killed by others now?

Even mid-level professions, on such a chaotic battlefield, will have a chance of survival than a soldier who leaves the battle formation. People from all directions are injured if they get a knife or a shot. Before their body is cultivated to the point where they are invulnerable to swords and guns, only armor can protect themselves.

No wonder the ancients said that above the battle formation, only a spear and a halberd can rush through the army. Nothing else, just to make heavy weapons, and to give yourself a foothold in the crowd.

Otherwise, even if a powerful master like Ende is squeezed into a sandwich biscuit, it will be a lot of danger.

Everything is going smoothly. Occasionally, when the remaining soldiers of the Ian Kingdom want to gather to resist under the organization of an officer, they will always be discovered by the Blood Tide Army, which will attract various thunder strikes.

By now, the Blood Tide Army has been stronger day by day.

Although the former elite Abilelians were powerful, they were only at the level of elite troops in a country. After sweeping away the nobles and original officers, after a period of time of adjustment, the non-commissioned officers with more prestige and stronger abilities took up the position of middle-level officers.

These people are truly war-torn soldiers. In the past, because civilians had glass ceilings, they could not be promoted further. But now, the upper level of the army has been swept away, so whoever has the ability will naturally improve.

However, the Blood Tide Army had only about 2,500 people. Although it could control the remaining soldiers of the Ian Kingdom around the city gate, they could not take care of the scattered soldiers who fled from all directions and escaped from the encirclement.

These scattered soldiers were originally fled sporadically, and it didn't matter if they were not organized. However, someone ran around to restrain them, gathered them up, gradually sorted out the situation, and formed several square formations.

If there were fewer people, Ande would not have noticed them at first, but the soldiers there gathered more and more, and even raised a big banner - that was the symbol of the deputy commander of the first army.

Ander raised his lips slightly and smiled.

(It’s not that Cloto didn’t know that there would be dangers in raising a large flag, but that only by raising a chief flag can we recruit scattered soldiers faster. Of course, Prince Cloto found that there were not many enemies and was concentrated near the city gate, so he didn’t seem to care about his side, so he ordered the flag to be raised - anyway, if you don’t pay special attention to the light of the city gate, you can’t see this large flag in the dark.)

"Corn, where is Dewitt!"

Betrick Ottoll grabbed Cohen Clarence's chest and asked loudly.

Cohen shook his head sadly. Although he had not seen Dwight being plotted with his own eyes, Dwight's personal guard broke through in the chaos just now and brought the information back.

When he retreated, he led the cavalry into the city first; because of his highest status and the status of Prince Gilt, Dwite was also responsible for cutting off the rear in order to accompany the Marquis of Karan.

But no one expected that the Marquis Karan, who led his army to raid the Ian Kingdom camp, would be a bitter plan.

You should know that in the previous wars, no one used similar tricks, but no one would cost the lives of thousands of soldiers - this price was too heavy. If it was exposed, even the king would have the crisis of shaking the throne.

Only Marquis Karan, who is an enemy in secret, can use this kind of family-defeating strategy in cooperation with the Kingdom of Ian.

"Caran!" Betrick Ottoll let go of Cohen's chest and punched the wall, saying hatefully.

"Bertrick, now is not the time to say this. To avenge DeWitt, we have to break out first."

The guardrail of the City Lord’s Mansion naturally cannot be compared with the city wall. However, because Suffolk was originally a royal city and a mage tower was built in the center of the city, the city Lord’s Mansion was built around the mage tower with the energy support of the mage tower. This guardrail also spent a lot of money and was built similar to the city in the city.

If the Mage Tower is still there, this four-meter-high guard wall will have a defensive ability that is not much worse than a seven- or eight-meter-high city wall.

However, now the Mage Tower is in ruins. Even if Betrick leads the mage group to repair it, at most an element pool and an elemental stable environment will be sorted out, which is an enhanced magic position.

"How many people do we have?"

"A cavalry brigade was lost and two complete cavalry brigades were also lost, but the horsepower was too high to fight with all the strength for the time being; the infantry suffered heavy losses, with at least three thousand casualties-"

The cavalry mainly suffered losses when they attacked the camp, while the infantry was the casualties caused when the Storm Knights led the Flame Thunder Knights into the city just now. They had no time to disperse and dodge, and they had no time to form a formation, and were defeated in one fell swoop.

If the roads in the city were not complicated, most soldiers could hide on the forks, and the casualties would be serious.

"Bertrick, Cohen, surrender. As the first heir to the Kingdom of Ian, I promise to give you treatment that matches your identities." The voice of Prince Aeroy from the Kingdom of Ian came from outside.

"Is DeWitt still alive?" Cohen shouted.

"It should be alive, right? Marquis Karan said he would hand him over to us."

"You Gilt royal family will never be a prisoner alive," Betrick retorted.

"Ha, maybe, but Marquis Karan has an unknown identity - Blade of the Heart. Do you think Dwight has a chance to commit suicide under the plot of a high-level assassin?" Aeroy laughed.

In his opinion, if Dwight Gilter, Cohen Clarence and Betrick Ottore were captured alive, the Kingdom of Gilter was cut off and the hands of the Kingdom of Abilee were reached, and the ransom was obtained second. Forced the Kingdom of Gilter to sign an agreement and completely give up the share of the Kingdom of Abilee.

The Kingdom of Gilt is a powerful country in the north. Although the territory is a distance away from here, if they are determined to fight to the end, the Kingdom of Ian will be in a difficult situation. After all, no country will be able to withstand the battle on both sides or even on three sides.

You know, since the unification of the grasslands, the Kingdom of Ian has begun to be vigilant.

If the West of the Abilee Kingdom can be occupied, the strategic situation of the Ian Kingdom will be greatly improved. The land on both sides will echo each other and completely suppress the protruding part of the Orc Grassland. If it can occupy the junction of the two major mountain ranges and build a military fortress there, the actual area controlled by the Ian Kingdom will stake the largest power in the subcontinent - the Kingdom of St. Eddite.

Now, victory is right in front of you. Prince Aeroy's biggest problem is not how to defeat the lord's mansion, but how to capture Cohen Clarence and Betrick Ottoll alive.

The people of the North Gilt Kingdom were strong, especially the high-ranking nobles, who always regarded being captured as a shame - if these two people committed suicide directly when they saw that the situation was not good, it would be embarrassing.

"If you have the ability, come in." Cohen yelled.

He can't defend himself anymore, but the restoration and transformation of the wizard tower these days is not a waste of effort. They use the energy of the elemental pool to open up a secret passage, which can at least allow him and Betrick and some elites to escape.

"Hahaha, don't hold on, can you still hold on—" Aeroy laughed proudly.

No matter how strong the walls of the city lord's mansion are, they are limited in thickness. As long as the catapult is transported over, there is no need for large catapults. Just a few medium-sized catapults can smash the wall.

However, while Aeroy was laughing, the city gate was in chaos, and someone shouted in panic: "Gilts, the Gilts are coming! His Highness the Prince was killed--"

"————What's going on?" Aeroy was shocked.

"The Gilts suddenly came outside the city. Our people were defeated. His prince was missing - we were blocked in the city!" said a knight of guards.

"What!"

When attacking the city gate, the cavalry is naturally the fastest, but when it comes to street fighting and siege, it also depends on infantry. This is also the reason why Prince Aeroy just called down below instead of attacking the city lord's mansion with his cavalry.

It was nothing at all, just wait for the infantry behind to come up, but now that the infantry behind is defeated and cannot keep up, they will fall into an extremely dangerous situation.

"You, you, you, continue to bluff with people. I will take the Storm Knights out of the city to see." Aroy made a quick decision and ordered a few knights to continue to fool the city lord's mansion. He turned around and left with the Storm Knights.

As for the sudden departure of the Storm Knights, the other party may have seen the flaws, so he didn't care about so much. Now the outside is the place to decide the outcome, and it will be delayed here for a while.

——————————————

Prince Croto was very efficient in spilling out his personal guards to gather the remaining soldiers. In less than half an hour, he gathered up two or three thousand soldiers, but they were all infantrymen.

However, every minute passed, hundreds of soldiers in the Kingdom of Ian died. Prince Cloto could not wait and ordered: "Sword and shield soldiers, advance. Spear square formation, always be prepared to deal with the cavalry."

The two sword and shield square formations formed horns on the left and right, and at the same time, they used a short sword to hit the shield. They walked out of the darkness with neat steps and pushed towards the city gate. The two spear square formations were slightly behind and protected the two wings of the sword and shield square formation.

If these four square formations were pushed over, the bloody tide army that could be squeezed immediately could not stand, allowing the Ian Kingdom army, who was squeezed at the city gate, to take a breath.

"The first brigade let go of the left wing, we will drive these Ians over and use them to rush into the sword and shield phalanx." A bloody tide army officer shouted.

The current commander-level officers of the Blood Tide Army are all civilian officers who have reached the glass ceiling in the Abilee Kingdom Army and the aristocratic environment. They are not the kind who can flatter them by flattering them.

These people have no doubt about their abilities, but they just had no chance to command the army before.

"Hmph - the sword and shield soldiers and spearmen phalanx immediately separated from left and right. The guards of each guard took turns to guide the riots through the middle passage to the formation, and were also responsible for reorganizing the soldiers behind the formation to form combat power! Archers and crossbowmen were prepared! Anyone who did not listen to the guide of the guards of the guards and attacked the army formation would directly shoot and kill them."

For Prince Cloto Ian, the other party's response can be said to be remarkable.

But it is still far from trying to defeat him on the battlefield with this little trick.

As long as the army's command system can be restored, he is not afraid of anyone in terms of command of the battle formation.

Prince Cloto stroked his beard and smiled slightly.

Although the battle today has been full of twists and turns, it finally stabilized the situation. Although the losses were serious, it was still worth it to achieve the strategic goals.

Just as Prince Cloto relaxed slightly, a hundred meters behind him shouted like thunder: "Cloto Ian, come on your life!"

A white horse jumped out of the darkness.
Chapter completed!
