The Bizarre Adventure of the Warhammer Elves

Chapter 144 The Retreating Empire

The fleeing soldiers seemed to have triggered a chain reaction, instantly causing the already shaken morale to collapse even more.

Seeing the soldiers fleeing on the front line, General Agathon jumped off his horse, rushed to the front line with the guarding knights, and shouted to the people around him with all his might:

"Don't be afraid, soldiers, the time has come to die generously, for the sake of the goddess Damia and the empire, such monsters cannot be allowed to enter the empire!

Think about your family, think about your relatives and friends, do you want them to face such fear, we must stop them! "

After hearing General Agathon's encouraging words, the soldiers at the forefront were inspired and slowly stopped their retreat.

The military quality of continuous training on weekdays made the legionnaires instinctively pick up their shields and javelins, and looked fearfully but firmly at the approaching giant.

That's right, if they put down their weapons and escape like this, wouldn't they be the sinners who let the giants enter the empire!

Looking at the re-inspired soldiers, General Agathon breathed a sigh of relief, and then ordered the crossbowmen behind the battle formation:
"Shoot the arrows and cover those giants with all your strength!"

The remaining cavalry regiments had already withdrawn from the battlefield due to heavy casualties, so the crossbowmen in the back row could unleash their firepower without any worries.

It's a pity that sometimes futile persistence and hard work are not enough to break the current situation:
A blue magic shield suddenly appeared in the air, directly blocking in front of the giant, blocking the crossbow arrows shot by the imperial crossbowmen.

I don't know when, Luohan has already taken the 'twig' and came to the front of the battle alone on a turnip. Looking at the people of the Bacchus Empire who tried to resist, they taunted:

"Your gods are so weak that they have long been reduced to a part of Lady Misty; and we have the upper hand, do you feel hopeless?"

Looking at these trembling imperial soldiers, the corners of Luohan's mouth raised slightly uncontrollably, the feeling of this kind of low-end frying fish ponds was actually not bad.

The soldiers of the empire looked at Rohan with a faint blue light on his body in horror. The coercion brought by the [Living Saint] was like a god to these mortals.

What scares them even more is that behind Rohan are six hundred fully armed Teutonic knights!

The three-meter-long heavy lance gleamed coldly under the sunlight, and the horse covered with thick plate armor under its crotch was the iron-blooded horse that the Shadow Legion once regarded as a treasure.

At the same time, the giants also rushed to the forefront. The smell of blood in the air made them extremely excited, and they frantically swung their sledgehammers and shouted:
"I'm going to smash you into meatloaf!"

Under the terrified eyes of the imperial soldiers, the nearly 6-meter-long super-large hammer directly swept across the entire phalanx, knocking dozens of soldiers into the air in an instant.

Many soldiers tried to stab the giant's calves and soles with their spears. Although a few giants were stabbed carelessly, such minor injuries were insignificant at all.

Even the heavy crossbows that the empire was once proud of could not harm the half-meter-thick heavy armor on their bodies.

Seeing the legionnaires constantly reducing their numbers under the attack of the giants, and the Teutonic knights in charge formation in the distance, General Agathon murmured:

"Damn it, can such a monster only be killed with a trebuchet or a ballista?"

From the moment the giant appeared, General Agathon knew that this was a battle that was destined to have no chance of winning.

Right now, he only wanted to preserve his troops as much as possible. As long as the remaining soldiers could safely withdraw to Boshi City, it was not impossible to fight with the strong city walls.

Looking at the few remaining knights around him, he slowly closed his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he gave the final order as commander:
"First, the third legion and the affiliated knights are all left behind, and the rest of the legions immediately leave the battle and retreat in the direction of Boshi City!"

"General, I have to remind you that the First and Third Legions are your direct troops!"

After hearing the order, a follower in charge of guarding General Agathon ignored the angry eyes of the other legion knights around him, and forcibly interjected:

"Our legion hasn't suffered too much damage yet. I suggest letting the rest of the heavily damaged legions take cover and let the first and third legions evacuate!"

"It's time to engage in court battles now. What we have to face is the great enemy of mankind. If we don't unite together, we have no chance of winning!"

Looking at the young and familiar faces, General Agathon closed his eyes in pain. These are the children he watched grow up.

But he also knew that now it was necessary to buy time for those evacuated legions, only in this way could it be possible to resist the attack of the elves.

"Retreat! Retreat!"

After receiving the order, the legionnaires who were already in extreme fear began to evacuate one after another, throwing away their armor and armor like a defeated soldier.

If it weren't for the fact that there are still two legions still holding the line, I'm afraid this retreat will turn into a rout.

"Hold the front line, we must not let those giants break through the line of defense! Even if we die, we must block them all!"

First, the soldiers of the [-]rd Legion were also red-eyed. Although they also wanted to retreat, General Agathon not far away was personally leaving behind, so what reason did they have to leave?

Looking at the imperial soldiers who were leaving the battlefield, General Agathon pointed his lance at Rohan, and shouted to the few dozen remaining knights around him:
"Follow me and hold them back!"

He could see clearly that Rohan didn't have many mobile units that could be used for pursuit, only [-] human knights who were always guarding him.

Therefore, as long as you can bring people to hold those knights, you can buy time for the evacuating infantry!

"Rhombic formation, attack!"

Accompanied by the roar of General Agathon, the remaining imperial knights roared and rushed towards the Teutonic knights in the distance.

Looking at the imperial knights who were rushing forward, the Teutonic knights also held up their lances, and Allen came to Rohan to persuade him:
"My lord, it's not safe here, please move first!"

"Have you figured it out, the current situation is that you are more dangerous than me!"

Luo Han looked at the imperial cavalry charging in the distance with some speechless eyes. Such a dense formation could be easily resolved with just one shot of Soul Quenching.

It's a pity that after using [Ten Thousand Flames Burning Collection] and the magic shield, now his magic power is not enough to use this kind of long-distance spell, but he is not afraid even in close combat.

After all, he is also a fear lord, and it is very easy to deal with such a human knight who has not received blessings.

Looking at the imperial knights who were charging, Rohan retracted the staff into the system space, grabbed the lance from Elaine's hand and said:
"Honestly, I'm actually better at fighting on foot than on horseback, but I don't mind trying something new."
