Chapter 277 Great Victory and Heavy Loss【Two in One】

After receiving the retreat order, Winkrell's Knights quickly changed from front to back, and the cut part extended and retreated along the trend.

Some of the Winkrel knights who were too close to the front and rear, knowing that the probability of retreating and escaping is not high, spontaneously formed a rear guard force to prevent and delay the pursuit of the front and rear, and bought time and space for the large army, shouting "For the Sea God!" Slogans such as "Allegiance under the Crown", charge against the enemy with the momentum of the same death.

This extremely rare situation actually caught the Magzek defenders on the city wall by surprise, and the warrior troops led by John had little effect because of their loose formation.

This is no longer something that can be done simply by being well-trained.

"The morale of the army brainwashed by the church is really terrible. If it is a direct battle..." John looked at the retreating Winkrell troops with emotion.

"John, do you want to chase?" Rene asked John for instructions. After chatting with John, Rene obviously restrained his desire for military exploits.

"Chasing, of course you have to chase, not only you have to chase, but you have to chase with great fanfare." John said without thinking.

"We only have 8000 people, isn't it too risky, why don't we advance to the city?" Di Pu swung his knife and knocked over a few enemies who were rushing towards him, and looked at the rear guard who was still charging back with fear.

Ears and ears are clear, and physical strength must be used.

Although most of the Winkrell knights in the smoke were senior trainees, they couldn't release fighting energy to resist bullets, and they couldn't see through the smoke, but with their sensitive hearing, the troops in the rear were able to find some warriors from Asshai, and turned back. Xiang killed a little.

'What kind of monster is this?Don't even know how to write it?" Dipper was shocked by this.

John patiently explained: "Because we have few people, we can't stop. Stopping will make them stabilize. It's abnormal not to take advantage of the situation to kill them if they win!
Once they sense something is wrong and turn around to test our details, that is really dangerous!

As long as we stay on the offensive, keep them moving, without the ability to regroup, we're safer. "

"Don't think that we can sweep with new weapons. You have also seen it. Let alone the bullets with knives. With this hit rate, I don't want to fight in groups. I feel sorry for these bullets."

Or the world of Zoya is not friendly enough to thermal weapons, the gravity is too strong and the explosive power of gunpowder is weakened, and the blessing of enchanting technology can only barely reach the level of about [-]% of Blue Star's lethality.

And the enemy troops in front of them are simply inhuman, they can even block the loose barrage with weapons!The light machine gun on the blue star can tear apart the flesh of soldiers, but it can only be embedded in the flesh of these knights.

The formal knight's fighting spirit can still resist the power of these enchanted light machine guns, but the fighting spirit is consumed more intensely.

The Earth Knight...maybe be able to break the skin?

If it was the last Yasha 01 style, this group of Winkrel knights would have to perform a peerless counterattack.

If the sneak attack fails and is counter-killed, the leader of the army can commit suicide by caesarean section.

Rene and Dipper looked at each other, a flash of excitement flashed, and they turned around to arrange a chase.

John quickly added: "Twigs, don't forget the branches! There was smoke just now, they couldn't tell how many of us there were, remember to use the branches to bluff when chasing us."

Rene and Dipper nodded.

On the city wall, Dalilu also fell into the dilemma of whether to chase or not.

Unexplained reinforcements, unexplained retreats, unexplained victories.

What if it is a trap to chase out?
Without the support of the city wall, Magzek's more than 3 knights would be over if they were defeated.

If you don't chase, I'm sorry for these reinforcements. Let's not talk about it. If Winkler's troops can't be severely damaged, what should we do if we can regroup and attack again?
For a moment, Dalilu was extremely entangled, and the arrogance that inspired people and rushed against adversity just now dissipated.

"Dalilu, should we pursue it or not?" Rost asked while panting after taking a gulp of the potion.

"Ms. Levna, do you think this is a trap?" Dalilu asked.

Levna didn't say a word. She didn't want to take the blame for this kind of decision involving Magzek's victory or defeat.

She has tried her best to do so, and she feels that she is worthy of the priest's tax that Magzek pays every year.

"Chasing, how can we not chase!" Dalilu gritted his teeth and said, "Rost, you and I led [-] knights to pursue, and the safety of the city is up to Ms. Levna."

Dalilu simply chose to divide his troops. Even if 1 people were lost, relying on the repaired defensive circle and the elite troops assembled one after another, the impact would not be great.

crunch~
The city gate opened slowly, and more than 1 well-armored knights rushed out in an orderly manner on their horses.

The elite troops led by John climbed mountains and ridges all the way. Of course, there were no mounts to speak of. They just relied on their shooting range and the explosive power of warriors to pursue them with all their strength.

Soon, the troops led by Dalilu caught up with John and others who were cutting and encircling the 2 Winkrell side army.

The hail of bullets, combined with the branches blowing countless smoke and dust, seemed to be surrounded by tens of thousands of people. The surrounded troops dared not rush to kill, so they had to keep trying to break out of the encirclement.

"Your Excellency Dalilu, long time no see." Saerte, who was accumulating energy to cast a spell, turned his head and found Dalilu and others approaching, and appeared in front of him in a blink of an eye.

The devil's night vision ability was originally a racial talent, and the vision brought by a third-level physique was enough to ignore the influence of smoke and dust.

"Your Excellency Salt? This, this, this!" Dalilu was at a loss for words for a moment, and he could naturally recognize the person in front of him as the wizard Yashai who lifted his little daughter's sleeping spell.

It is also self-evident who saved Magzek from the disaster of destroying the country.

"You want to say, why am I here?" Sart said his thoughts intimately,

"Oh, my lord accidentally learned that Winkrell plotted to covet Magzek's territory, so I specially sent us here to help you out of Magzek's predicament. Is that okay?"

"But..." Dalilu hesitated, "I am grateful for your country's help, but with so many troops, how does your country..."

'How on earth did you get here with so many towns and castles along the way?It can't be sent over, can it?so many people. '

This is a bit scary. If Yaxia uses this kind of technology, then other countries will play with a hammer and welcome Master Wang quickly.

Sartre shrugged:

"Oh, don't look at the grandeur, it's all the dust rolled up by the branches, in fact, we didn't have many people, actually less than 2 people.

This kind of people, crossing mountains and ridges, coming out at night and day, can walk on the path instead of the road, so they come here. "

"Twigs?" Dalilu's mouth twitched. He didn't know whether he should lament the genius of Yasha's generals, be grateful that Yasha didn't master the technology of large-scale directional teleportation, or worry about the upcoming battle.

Of course, Dalilu was also thankful that he led the team to fight out. If Yasha alone could not cause serious damage to the collapsed Winkleur army.

"Comora, you go back to pass the order, and bring another [-] knights to join the pursuit. The rest, follow me!"

If it's not a trap, Dalilu will feel more at ease. As for thanking Yasha, let's talk about it after tonight.

……

In a night of bloody battle, Asshai's side lost hundreds of people, Magzek's side suffered more than 7000 casualties of knights, and more than 1 standing troops.

According to the calculation of the military judge who collected the statistics of the enemy's military exploits from the ears of the enemy, Winkrell alone killed more than 7 knights, and the number of serious and minor injuries should be [-] to [-].

The main reason was that the sneak attack from behind directly hit the Winkrell army who was storming the city wall, and suffered huge damage with a dense lineup and no defense at all.

The losses on Magzhek's side also came from internal and external enemies. The defensive magic circle was broken with a big hole, and he had to use his life to fill in the well-prepared assault.

In one night, one hundred thousand enemies were defeated, and the own battle loss was less than a thousand, which can be called an unprecedented victory!

However, the difficult times have just begun.

After Derek and the two archbishops in blue returned to the enemy camp, it is reasonable to say that an infighting for the Pope's throne should start immediately.

But since Sea God began to show miracles again, everyone knew that the period of deity's silence had passed, and they didn't want to gamble with their heads.

And it happened that two artifacts—the scepter of the trident and the crown of the water king were lost in the city of Malco, and if they were not recovered, no one would be able to give an explanation to the crown of the sea god.

Therefore, the two blue-clothed archbishops decided together that whoever could get back the two artifacts would be the next pope.

Yes, Derek, who lost the crown of Suicune, has been used by these two as an excuse to exclude the qualification for the throne.

And Derek, who lost Will's backing, seemed much more harmless to humans and animals for a while, not only accepted the punishment obediently, but also voluntarily handed over the remaining artifact - the Sea Dragon Chariot.

This is also the strongest of the three artifacts, and it comes with two Tier [-] limit sea dragons.

If Will took out the Sea Dragon Chariot that night, Parlor would never choose to stab Will in the back, but would run away while he was running around.

Of course, there is no reason why the banquet brought such a big thing into the arena, so the Hailong chariot stayed at the station.

With Will not around, the others have no way to control this artifact, which is why the Winkrel Knights don't use the Sea Dragon chariot to attack the city.

But something ridiculous happened. Derek, who handed over Will's method of manipulating the artifact, did not lose control of the artifact.

The reason is very simple. The remaining two archbishops in blue don't trust each other. What if the other party gets the Sea Dragon chariot and directly chooses to forcibly ascend to the throne?
On the contrary, let Derek, who has no foundation, hold it in his hands, even if he has the advantage of force, he will not be able to secure the Pope's throne.

Therefore, Derek handed over his loneliness, changed hands, and returned to his hands, "temporarily safekeeping".

Derek originally had the idea of ​​killing three warriors with two peaches, hoping that the ownership of this artifact would cause internal strife in the Sea God Church, so he was in vain. He could only bite the bullet and manipulate the Sea Dragon Chariot to attack Melco...

'Why so many minds, my task is about to be completed! ' Derek was dumbfounded.

The three sky knights and the two archbishops in blue counted the losses, assembled and gathered the troops, rested for a day, and stormed Malco City again with 20 knights and sea dragon carriages.

At Dalilu's active invitation, John and others also entered the city to help defend.

There are quite a lot of Majestic nobles at the banquet, and they are still trapped in the palace without knowing whether they are alive or dead. Majek's hip stretching the night before yesterday is also due to the large-scale shrinkage of the command team.

In such a precarious situation, Dalilu didn't bother to think about threatening or not. Let alone if he survived, it would be much better to throw Magzek into the hands of his prospective son-in-law than into the hands of Winkrell's bastards. .

The army lacked generals, and Dalilu even took the initiative to hand over part of the military power and let Yaxia take command.

And when Hai Long shattered the newly repaired defensive circle with a breath of dragon's breath, the artifacts given by the Goddess of Nature tended to continue and fight, and they were about to fall.

John showed amazing command art, and Asshai's hot weapon also showed extraordinary combat effectiveness, resisting the tide of enemy troops.

The few mana cannons, concentrated fire overclocking bursts, at the cost of scrapping all of them, resisted the raging sea dragon chariot.

The dense and efficient barrage tore apart the fiercely attacking Winkrel knight.

And Saerte, Chi Ling and others cooperated with Dalilu and others, and they also resisted the five high-end combat forces of the enemy, and even showed signs of counter-killing.

However, the Sea Dragon chariot is really powerful, and the sea god's side-kick was really not in vain. After wasting the artillery formation, the dragon's breath was used to accumulate power, and the city was about to die and wounded again.

The most frightening thing was that, even though they were also on the city wall, those Winkleur knights were not afraid at all, but with excited ecstasy on their faces, they entangled the enemy.

Standing in the center of the army formation, Derek saw that Yashai and Magzhek were in a bad situation, and his heart sank. The horsewhip manipulating the Hailong chariot shone slightly, and he spit out a big mouthful of blood from the corner of his mouth, and fell on the chariot.

"No, it takes too much energy to control this thing. I'm not capable enough to handle it!" Derek shouted.

Hai Long, who was accumulating his dragon's breath, immediately stopped his flag and drums, and stood quietly on the spot.

The two blue-clothed archbishops who were wrestling with Yashai's master had no choice but to stop bitterly when they saw the condition of the Hailong chariot.

The horn for retreat sounded again, but this time John didn't lead anyone in pursuit.

In the middle of the night, facing the endless accusations from the two blue-clothed patriarchs, Derek, whose face was like gold paper, simply put on a face, closed his eyes and meditated: "My ability is limited, so you can just use someone else to control it. I agree with both hands."

This time it was the turn of the two archbishops to get entangled, and they kept arguing, neither of them willing to let the other... It seemed that they could not get a clue after a few days of arguing.

At the same time, in the city of Melco, who had gained a respite, John opened the third kit given by Zhong Ming.

The first kit, go to the front line to open it.

The second kit, go to Malco City to open it.

The third kit is opened when one side is trapped.
