Chapter 57 Meeting
"Hold your front! Thorn!"
When the first ray of sunlight appeared in the horizon, there were too many corpses in the Eagle Legion camp that could cover the entire ground.
There are birds waiting for a full meal everywhere in the sky.
The strong fishy smell of blood made the environment extremely bad. All Asul was covered with all kinds of blood and dirt.
The battle lasted one night made everyone extremely tired. If it weren't for Carter (the clone) and Aris Annal, there wouldn't be more than a thousand people who could stand and continue fighting.
But even after such a night of battle, the Eagle Legion paid the price of 500 casualties and resisted the Chaos attack. The second line of defense was always solid.
Suddenly, a kind of panic appeared in the eyes of the Chaos creature.
Originally, they could only see chaos in their eyes, but at this moment, panic and confusion appeared magically.
They no longer continue to launch lifeless attacks and stop behind the pile of corpses.
The sudden ceasefire made the Asurs who had fought hard all night, and the guns, shields, bows and arrows in their hands also stopped.
"What happened? Why are they..."
Aris Annar, standing on the platform, lowered the magic bow in his hand and ignored his trembling right hand.
Not long after, the Chaos creature began to retreat at a faster speed than when it came.
They were originally united in dealing with the Eagle Legion, and they once again fought each other on the way to retreat. Just because the front blocked their own path, they would raise their axes and slash down without hesitation.
The Chaos creatures that escaped like a low tide left behind corpses and dumbfounded Eagle Legion soldiers.
"Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!!!!"
After a while, I don’t know who started it, and all the elves who survived the disaster began to cheer.
"Victed!!!"
"Asu's blessing!"
The excited elves even took off their helmets and threw them into the sky.
Everyone was cheering, but only Aris Annal frowned and kept observing the surroundings on the platform.
He didn't understand why the Chaos creature retreated.
[Can they find that Cadrina's reinforcements have arrived? So they retreated?]
After thinking of this floor, Aris Annals sat on the ground with a little relief and some fatigue.
"Sir, Legion! We won!"
"Yeah, it won..."
Nodded, Aris raised his head and looked at the sun that had just revealed a trace of morning light.
"Treat the wounded, arrange for personnel to rest and eat! Our battle is not over yet! Princess Cadrina is about to arrive! We are going to complete the goal of this expedition!"
"yes!"
"Send cavalry to reconnaissance to find out whether they are really retreating or luring the enemy into depth!"
"Yes, Legion Commander!"
The Asurs who obtained hope immediately carried out Aris Anal's order, and their tired bodies were suppressed by their spirits.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Cadrina's support troops did not finally arrive until more than an hour later.
They were all sweating and panting all the way, as they were galloping along the way.
"Prince Aris!!"
When the heroic and savage elf princess arrived in the chariot, she saw only corpses all over the ground, but she did not see the enemy or the fighting sounds. She thought something was wrong and immediately shouted out.
"Princess Cadrina!"
When he heard the movement, several figures immediately appeared on the arrow tower.
When I looked closely, I saw that they were soldiers of the Eagle Legion wearing a full set of armor.
"Your Highness Princess! Chaos retreated! They may have found your arrival and retreated more than an hour ago!"
The sentry with a head exposed saw so many "elite" cavalry and chariots immediately shouted excitedly, explaining the situation roughly.
"Retreat? Open the entrance and let me in and meet Prince Aris!"
"immediately!"
As the debris that were temporarily piled at the door were removed and the two armies met, the soldiers of the Eagle Legion once again dragged their tired bodies and made a shocking cheer.
The reinforcements, which were marching along the way, subconsciously joined in cheering.
"I will win! I will win!"
"oh!!!"
Cadrina ignored the cheers and just walked straight to Aris Annal.
As soon as the two sides met, she couldn't wait to ask:
"What happened, what's going on?"
The elf princess with a puzzled look was waiting for Aris Anal's answer.
"Not long after nightfall last night, the Chaos Army surrounded the entire camp. When we found out, we had no time to break through and could only hold on to the camp.
Then there was a whole night of battle, but just now I didn't know why they suddenly retreated.
Maybe I just found out that you were about to arrive, so I took it away.”
"Is this how?"
Just as the two sides were talking and the soldiers around were telling each other about what happened last night.
A cavalry came back with a wooden stick.
"Legislature Commander!!"
The cavalry rushed to Arisanal.
After looking closely at Aris, he noticed that he was holding a wooden stick with the head of a Chaos creature in his hand.
"The leader of the legion killed the leader of Chaos!
We found them in an open space! One of the charred corpses had a staff next to them, and the other was the huge beastman Beast King. Its corpse was also somewhat burnt, but it was still intact, and its head was cut off by someone.
Put it on a wooden stick!"
As he said that, he handed the stick in his hand to Aris Annar.
"You mean someone helped us solve the commander of the Chaos Army?..."
"This makes sense. We have never encountered chaotic creatures on the way we came, and even if we encountered them, they would not be able to run so much than us. They could arrive one hour earlier."
Cadrina suddenly realized after hearing this.
Aris Annal just thought silently for a while and then felt relieved.
"Since others refuse to show up, we should not go into it. The focus now is to rectify the troops immediately!"
"Let us complete the goal of this expedition! Kill all the chaos creatures of Nagaris!!!"
The last sentence Aris yelled out.
"oh oh!!"
"kill!!"
The elves once again made a loud cheer.
...
The post-war reconstruction work began soon in the camp.
The bodies of the elves who died in battle were the most preferred targets. The dead were put into special body bags, with names and military cards posted, and neatly arranged on the side.
As for the corpses of the Chaos creature, they are the same as before, just dig up several mass pits and throw some ignition materials into it and burn it.
However, the progress was very slow, and it was not until Cadrina's subsequent troops arrived that the camp's reorganization work was done one-third.
The reason is also very simple. The soldiers of the Eagle Legion who fought for a night urgently needed rest. After the reinforcements were available, they took the lead in resting.
As for the reinforcements brought by Cadrina, there were more than 500 noble children, they would not participate in such "low-level" work, while the remaining more than 1,000 soldiers were typical elves, most of them were bow skills and
He is excellent in gun skills, but is not good at this kind of labor that requires cooperation.
As the second batch of reinforcements arrived, they had to get up quickly. The camp was too narrow. If the bodies were not cleared as soon as possible, they would not be able to accommodate more than 5,000 elves and the same number of livestock.
With the awakening and joining of the Eagle Legion soldiers in the afternoon, the progress has improved to a higher level.
The ‘capital soldiers’ brought by Cadrina were all surprised by the efficiency and cooperation of these colleagues in front of them.
Chapter completed!
