Who says knights can't backstab

Chapter 704 The Battle of Hylia Ends
Simon Berkeley was drenched in blood, standing in a daze on the plain outside Hylia.

He is familiar with every inch of land here, and the smell of dry soil in the cold November wind by the sea.But at this moment, the smell of blood around him made him feel extremely strange.

What makes him strange is himself.

He touched his left side with his right hand, and it was empty—his left arm had been sliced ​​off by an Old St. Emma soldier, and it was lost among the corpses.

He looked back again, the blood blocked his vision, and he vaguely recognized their figures: the comrades who fought out of the city together seemed to be only a few figures left, and the one closest to him was an elf. There was a deep scratch on his handsome face, which was still bleeding.

A bloody battle.

Simon Berkeley couldn't describe in words which was more tragic than the previous ten-day Hylia defense battle.All he knew was that the people from Ao San Emma were coming up continuously, he and his comrades kept swinging knives, blood was splashing, pieces of meat were scattered, and people were constantly falling down, some were enemies and some were comrades in arms.

He looked forward again, and what he saw was a fluttering black dragon flag of St. Emma, ​​a group of St. Emma's soldiers in pitch-black heavy armor, and the elite fighters of the Hilariliar Legion heading towards them. coming.

Ah, it's not over yet——

Come on then-

"Gentlemen, this will be our last battle—for Hylia!!" He bent down, picked up an Ursanta Emma sword from the ground, raised it high with his remaining right hand, and roared road.

"For Hylia!!!" Scattered echoes sounded from behind, seemingly not as loud as the footsteps coming from the opposite side, but it made Simon Berkeley feel a long-lost peace of mind.

"Hailia!!!" He shouted in a hoarse voice, then pulled up his tired legs, and was the first to rush towards the Ao San Emma people in front.

He heard his own heavy breathing, each time as if he wanted to exhale his heart out of his throat.His arms were so weak that he could hardly lift the knife, so he could only half-drag it forward.

Those Ao San Emma people were getting closer and closer. They were wearing bright black armor, and their battle flags fluttered in the wind in a mess. The black dragon flag seemed to be in a state of embarrassment as if it was about to fall from the flagpole.He saw clearly the soldier headed by the opponent, his face was full of panic, and he kept looking back...

"Ok?"

He suddenly felt that what he was facing was not an army that continued to encircle and suppress his own side, but a... defeated remnant army?
The moment this idea came into being, he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes, and then the screams of the Ao San Emma people rang out, and tall silver figures pierced into the group of Ao San Emma people from behind.

The leading Usain Emma soldier seemed to be still shouting something, but a blood-stained silver gun tip had already pierced his back, lifting him in the air——

In just a split second, the elite troops of the Ao San Emma people in front of them were completely crushed in front of Simon Berkeley.

Simon Berkeley couldn't help but stopped, staring blankly ahead.

The leading knight threw off the Ao San Emma at the point of his spear, steered the silver horse, and slowly walked in front of him.

Then the knight got off his horse, took off his visor, knelt down and put his hands on his shoulders, and said sincerely:
"Thank you for your contribution to Hylia, Commander Berkeley."

"We're late."

--------

Azik walked into Hylia's city gate, followed by Memphela, a professional elf archer, with her longbow hanging behind her, an elf sword hanging on his left waist, and a elven sword on his right waist. There is a head hanging on it.

The two of them didn't go into the city, but turned around and turned directly onto the city wall.

The scene on the city wall was shocking. There were broken stones everywhere, and every few steps there were corpses of soldiers who could not be transported away.Most of the soldiers' bodies were mutilated, and some helmets were blown off with half of their heads, leaving only half of their bloody faces.

Arcik smelled the smell of blood, and covered his nose with his hand, but quickly put his hand down again.

The elf shooter behind her was staring straight ahead expressionlessly. She was not indifferent to this, but instead focused her gaze on a point ahead to avoid seeing more cruel pictures.

After walking the whole section of the west city gate wall, Memphis sighed softly: "War...is this war?"

"Didn't you also participate in the war against the undead in northern Xinjiang?"

"That's different." Memphis replied, "The undead are dead and lifeless. They shouldn't exist, violate the laws of nature, and are not in the sequence of Lord Nora's followers. With the power of nature Let death return to death, this is what we should do as believers in nature."

"But here..."

She closed her mouth, and in her opinion, she couldn't say any more words.

Atzke put his hand on a broken city brick and looked east - here he could see the Adlai Sea still shrouded in the early morning mist, and the rising winter day was in the mist looming.

Then he said:

"At least...the battlefield of Hylia is over."

"After all, the number of Ao Sheng Emma people is twice that of ours. Even if they can be defeated, it should take a lot of time to chase them until they completely retreat?" Meng Feila asked suspiciously.

"Look." Atzke pointed to the outside of the city, "Did you see that the people from all sides of San Emma are evacuating towards the east coast."

"Leonardo should be in charge of the east gate of Hylia? The number of people he leads should not be too large. If the follow-up troops fail to keep up, the pressure on him will be great."

"Leonardo has voluntarily given up the coast to the people of San Emma." Atzke said calmly, "The main general was killed in battle, the morale of the army was slackened, and the unprecedented defeat gave them psychological devastation. They will only think about escaping from this demonic land as soon as possible, returning to their marshal, and then making plans."

"Then shouldn't we stick to the coastline?" Meng Feila was even more puzzled, "No matter how many people there are left, there are still nearly 5000 people from San Emma. If this force is put back..."

"Don't forget, our lord has not done nothing." Azike interrupted her, and this sentence made the elf shooter understand at once——

Yes, they still have the young Marquis who mysteriously led people to the Haitao Clan last night. With his efficiency, it should be fruitful by now.

She looked far away towards the coast with her eagle eye technique, only seeing huge transport ships docked on the shore.Both sides of the coast seem to be occupied by La Rochelle's soldiers, who are frantically exporting arrows at the transport ships.

And how could the soldiers of Ao San Emma, ​​who were so far away that there were only black spots left, care about the shooting from the shore?They stepped on the shoal like a drowning person catching a lifebuoy, and rushed to the boat. After a boat was full, they immediately headed towards the Adlai Sea.And even at this time, the efficiency and cooperation ability of the people of Ao San Emma are still well reflected. At least they didn't fight each other because of the place to board the transport ship, and they used a very high Efficiently complete the evacuation of remnants.

One, two, three... three transport ships, which will be loaded with the remaining Austrian Saint Emma soldiers who were hunted all the way and lost in constant battles.The people of La Rochelle chased and killed the people of Ao San Emma all the way to the seashore, and they have not given up their pursuit so far. Several mages stood on the shore, singing loudly in unison, and at the moment when the last transport ship was about to leave the shore. A raging fire was lit, and the fire spread rapidly, but the ship had already sailed into the Adlai Sea.

"Only one transport ship is on fire... Even if they can't put out the fire, other transport ships can share the burden of carrying the remnants of this ship." Memphira reported what she saw with a little disappointment, "Also, the battleship of Ossa Emma is coming, one... it should be called a cruiser, right? The soldiers on the shore must pay attention to avoid it. Their shelling can cause strong damage to the garrison near the shore... Huh! !"

She suddenly screamed, and she couldn't understand what happened in front of her eyes: the battleship of the Ou San Emma fired, but it was not aimed at the La Rochelle people on the shore, but at the remaining two ships. The dropship of the Alma Santos!

"Yes, the lord did it!" She understood in an instant.

The Ao San Emma transport ship that was bombarded was still confused, and it took two rounds of bombardment from the gunboat abruptly, and then they realized that the gunboat in front of them no longer belonged to them.Those Ao San Emma talents escaped from birth and fell into hell. One by one, they pushed the small boats used for transportation into the water like crazy, trying to escape in such small boats.

But the reality tells them that they are already in hell, and no matter how they go, they can only go to a deeper hell——

The calm sea was divided by the dark shadows emerging from below, and three ancient pirate ships floated above the water.The vortex caused many small boats to capsize directly, and the Ao San Emma soldiers who fell into the water were shot and killed by the arrows dropped from the pirate ships before they could find help.

The blood stained the surface of the sea red, and the strong smell of blood attracted sea monsters who were unwilling to be calm in winter.When the groups of sea monsters swam under the people of Ao San Emma, ​​there was no need for the elves to deal with the mess themselves.

The ten-day defense of Hylia came to an end.

The total number of casualties of the two sides involved in the war exceeded 2. Hylia's city defense army and Ripple Corps were beaten to less than 500 people, while the offensive side's Ao San Emma died more than 80.00% and captured 300 people. people.

The senior general Woodrow O'Boam, who led the Ost Emma's army to attack Hylia, was killed, and the 5000 people of the Third Army of the Hilarili runner-up led by him were almost wiped out.

As the supporting side, although the Amasir army took advantage of it, the results were not as good as expected.

After the rout, the Amarrs were still able to organize a small-scale defense in time. Not all Amasir troops were led by generals capable of crushing them. The army did not have much upper hand.

The number of people involved in the battle was [-], and the casualties were nearly [-]—this battle loss ratio is definitely not beautiful. Fortunately, the number of deaths was not many, and most of them were injured.

After the battle, the knights of Siliki carried out a round of sweeping along the Rock Fort towards the Sea of ​​Adler, and they were sure that the Adler area where Hylia was located extended to the sharp corner of the forest and there was no more Holy Spirit. Amarr troops.

At noon, Cyril Adrian had called all the generals who participated in the war to hold a meeting in Hylia's chamber.

Since the beginning of the war, there has not been a real battle between the two sides, where the two sides lined up and confronted each other head-on.Whether it was the annihilation of the Earth Dragon Legion, the failure of Osan Emma's private army to attack Rock Fortress, or the current Hylia counterattack, Cyril's side more or less has some advantages of "the enemy is clear and we are dark" .

And this advantage will shrink infinitely as time goes on.The news that Ossa Emma lost control of Hylia will soon be sent back to the general headquarters of the Hilaria Corps, and this defeat will also make Ossa Emma attach great importance to the garrison forces in the Adler area Raise the level a few more grades——

Whether it is Cyril, Atsk, or Leonardo, Memphis, and Schell, they all think that they will soon usher in a large-scale frontal battle.

And what they have to do is to use the information obtained from this battle to summarize the characteristics of the Austrian Saint Emma's army, so as to gain a greater advantage in the next battle.

"They are very good at fighting small-scale battles, and the coordination ability between units is very good. Many times our troops encountered the situation of reorganization of two remnants during the pursuit of superiority, and then were counterattacked , into trouble." Schell was the first to speak.

Her complexion is not good, and there is still a thick bandage around her waist. Although she has been healed by the elves, the loss of magic power inside has not been completely repaired.

But her mental state was unprecedentedly good, her voice was louder than before, and she had a lazy smile on her face, making it impossible to see what was going on in her mind.

"This has something to do with their military academy recruiting students." Azike quickly wrote it down, and at the same time gave a corresponding answer, "Don't forget, the education popularization of the Austrian St. Emma's army is very terrifying. They The military literacy of our soldiers is second to none on the entire continent.”

"Then do we have a way to deal with this?" Shell asked directly, "It's useless to say anything else, and it's impossible for us to let everyone in our soldiers be able to command and fight in a short period of time. .”

"It's hard." Atzke said, "It's ideal to avoid such small-scale team battles."

"But it's not realistic." Schell countered, "Such cooperation will exist in every corner of the battlefield. It is impossible for us to avoid it, and it must be resolved."
