The failure came so quickly that Pi'anlun still refused to believe it, because he felt that victory was so close to him: "Attack! Continue to attack! The enemy will be defeated immediately!..." He shouted in a stern manner, trying to stop the soldiers around him from escaping, but was almost pushed down.

"Let's go! If you don't leave, you won't be able to leave!" The guards forced him to retreat.

"Mr. Commander, we have won this battle!" Thormid came to report with joy: "The enemy has fled all over the line!"

This result was expected by Davers. He looked calm and said, "This battle is not over yet. It is not enough to just repel the enemy. It depends on the final result!"

Usually, in a head-on battle, the loss of soldiers on the defeated side rarely exceeds 10%. After a fleeing, if the pursuit is properly carried out, the casualty rate of the defeated side will often increase greatly. This is because the defeated soldiers who have no fighting spirit have no intention of resisting.

So Davers let the attacking bugle keep blowing.

The soldiers of the Dionian simply threw away their heavy copper shields and copper helmets, held guns in their hands, and continued to pursue forward regardless of their tired bodies, cooperating with reinforcements rushing from the front to encircle and annihilate the enemy.

The Bissinian soldiers, light infantry and free people led by Epitianis and Tspit, and the mountain reconnaissance brigade of Izam pulled up a "big net" from the right wing of the Bruti army to the middle road. Although this "net" is not strong and the mesh is too large, it is enough to shock the Bruti people who only want to escape.

With the shouts of the Dionians everywhere, some of the defeated soldiers simply threw away their weapons and sat on the ground.

The Rides Cavalry Brigade was extremely evacuated, with two large groups chasing the fugitive enemy. The cavalry with sufficient horsepower was like a thick fence to clear away the broken branches and leaves...

When they approached dusk, the Dionian cavalry stopped chasing. When they returned from the Cosenza Plateau, where the mountains were covered with defeated soldiers, their horses were covered in blood, which was very scary. Later, the good soldiers gave them the nickname "Blood Cavalry" and eventually became their official name.

At this time, the battle was over. Dionia suffered nearly 5,000 casualties and captured more than 5,000 prisoners at the cost of 1,500 casualties, resulting in a big victory.

Ryders came to see Davers excitedly, but was told that the commander had already gone to the crematorium.

Walking on the battlefield where corpses are everywhere, Davers' joy of winning has long disappeared without a trace.

The soldiers placed their teammates who died in battle neatly on the grass, and they couldn't see their heads at first glance. They carefully put two Opols on the eyes of the deceased, and prayed to Hades for the deceased with tears in their eyes.

Looking at the pale faces that seemed familiar, Davers' pace was a little heavy. Finally, he stopped and more than a dozen soldiers on the road ahead cried around a corpse. He happened to know the leader of the Second Legion, the company captain Ktipps.

He moved his heart and stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Who is the dead?"

"Sir Commander!" The team officer and soldiers saw him and hurriedly saluted.

In the gap where he made it aside, he saw the face of the dead, which was a familiar face. Alsinis, a passionate and cheerful young man from Amendolar, the hero of the Second Croto Civil War, and the flag bearer in triumphal form. During the final attack in this battle, Alsinis, as the captain of the squad, rushed to the front, but was stabbed in the chest by a spear thrown by a bold enemy who was not eager to escape...

Listening to Ktipps's painful words, Davers took two Opols from the soldier and put them on Alsinis' closed eyelids... A year ago, this brave young man boldly competed with him for swimming, but now his body is as cold as a stone. At this moment, Davers hopes that Hades in this world really exists. So with Dionyya's respect for the Pluto, he will definitely give these soldiers who died in battle in hell...

After coming out of the group of soldiers, Davers walked forward for a while, then stopped, looking at the burning furnaces burning with a deep expression in the distance with a heavy expression...

After a long time, he said to Thormid, who had been following behind him silently: "Do you think... is this war against Bruty... right or wrong?"

"Uh..." Thormid didn't know how to answer for a moment.

However, Davers' expression quickly became firm, and he answered with a firm tone: "Of course it's right! In this era, either we destroy others or others destroy us. There is no other way except to strengthen ourselves!"

Thormid deeply agreed with Davers' words: in the Eastern Mediterranean, he had seen the Persian oppression of weak races, and the Spartans were domineering in Ionia and Asia Minor. After coming to the Western Mediterranean, he also heard of the power of Carthage and the tyranny of Syracuse. But what he did not expect was that at this moment, what he was worried about in his heart was that he had never heard of, in Rome, a Latin city-state in central Italy.

"Sir Commander, brothers of the First Legion, and soldiers of the Reserve Team... They are rushing to rest. They are too tired! They almost fell asleep as soon as they fell to the ground, and they didn't even have time to take off their breastplate." Capps said with heartache.

"This battle... Whether it is the First Legion, Second Legion, or other teams, they have put in the best efforts, and the battle is very difficult!" Davers sighed, but he still reminded Capps: "However, it is autumn now, and the nights in the mountains are much colder than Turiyi. After the fierce battle, the brothers fell to the ground and fell asleep while sweating all over. Be careful of catching a cold! Now our medical camp is overcrowded, and I don't want any unnecessary increase in injuries!"

Antonrios next to Davers, who once again served as the military officer in the army during his expedition, was obviously familiar with this position, and then made a suggestion: "I think the auxiliary soldiers of the baggage battalion can take out the blankets carried by the soldiers of the First Legion and cover them with them."

Davers nodded in agreement, and he looked at Dracos again. The commander of the Second Legion lowered his head slightly, with his hands behind his back, and his left leg shaking slightly.

Davers looked at him carefully and asked, "Can our camp be built until the evening?"

"The brothers of the Second Legion are escorting the prisoners to speed up the construction, and there are also mountain brigades, Bissinian soldiers, Lord Trifias, and Lord Gorkis (General Castellon) who are also building the camp under the guidance of engineers... Before night comes, it will definitely be built!"

Trifias and Gorkis also nodded after Dracos mentioned their names.

Davers thanked them and asked again, "How are those Bruty prisoners acting?"

"We severely punished more than a dozen prisoners who dared to resist, and there were also Bissians who were examples by their side. They performed quite obediently."

Davers nodded, he paced back and forth for a few steps, and said in a deep voice: "Don't abuse them! If you find that there are Brutes who cannot insist on working, you must allow them to stop and rest... Oh, you can grasp the specific situation yourself."

"yes."

"What's going on with the injury on your right hand?" Dracos was thinking about how to complete the task assigned by Davers, but he didn't notice that Davers had walked behind him.

He hurriedly retracted his hand, took two steps back, shook his head and said, "No... nothing, I was accidentally injured by the soldiers' stabbing..."

He shook his head, and a blood groove under his jaw just came into Davers' eyes. Davers, who was respected by Helps as his teacher, knew that the vital carotid artery was near this wound, and you can imagine the thrilling scene at that time and Dracos's luck.

At this moment, Davers's face darkened: "You rushed to the front again, right? How many times have I told you that you are the commander of the legion commanding more than 7,000 people, not an ordinary soldier. If you die in battle, it will have a great impact on the entire battle? Do you know! The Dionian military law is just a joke to you, right? If you don't want to obey it, don't obey it!"

Davers cursed, and Dracos drooped his head and said no to say anything.

In the eyes of outsiders, a young man scolded a strong man in his 30s like a father scolding a child. This scene was a bit funny. But the senior generals of Dionia and important figures of the allies all looked serious. Try to hold their breath as much as possible, and Davers' power was visible.

"Temporarily hand over the command of the Second Legion to Adrianx, you go to Staceykodas (the supervisor of the medical battalion of the expedition troops, one of Herps' right-hand assistants), bandage the wound, and go to the military judge to receive punishment by yourself!"

As soon as Davers finished speaking, Dracos answered yes repeatedly, turning around and running away like an amnesty.

"Mr. Commander, actually... when the soldiers were very tired when they attacked in the end, Dracos also wanted to use this method to encourage the soldiers..." Antonio Four explained in a low voice for Drax.

"Arsinis, you all should know each other. After winning the second battle with Crotone, he was the flag bearer in triumph. Now he is a team leader of the Second Legion, a very promising young team officer!" Davers sighed: "I just handed over the river to him to Kurong... Whatever the commander of the Legion does, the lower-level team officers will learn how to do it. I don't want to see that there are always vacancies in the position of the Second Legion. This Dracos, who is desperate in the battle, has to beat it well!"

After Davers said this, Capps, Antonios and the others were not good to say anything else.
Chapter completed!
