Chapter 49: Interception
"Hah." The commander was also a level 7 warrior, bursting out all his strength, his silver-white fighting spirit radiating, and he rushed towards Cage with his spear.
With a "dang" sound, the commander felt that he could not hold his spear. At the moment of contact, the opponent's commander easily picked up his spear. He saw the golden spear tip constantly enlarged in front of his eyes, piercing his throat. He struggled to move the spear up, trying to block the shot, but suddenly the spear tip disappeared in front of his eyes. He felt his body rise suddenly, he saw his horse, and the only memory left was that he was picked up in the air by Cage's spear.
"The commander is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed."
Cage lifted the commander's body high and shouted loudly. Seeing that His Highness was so brave, the soldiers behind him immediately shouted in unison.
"The commander is dead. Those who surrender will not be killed."
Seeing that his commander could not even take a single blow from the enemy, he was so scared that his heart and gall were about to burst. There was a blood circle around Cage. So many people died, but no one could bleed on him. All around him were the corpses of high-level warriors.
Even if the soldiers were loyal, they were still human beings. They also needed to survive. Many soldiers raised their weapons on the spot and knelt on the ground to surrender.
Cage had no time to receive the surrendered people. He still needed to rush forward. With 80,000 troops, they could be killed by a pile of people. Cage led a group of people to directly divide the entire camp into two halves. The soldiers who rushed up from behind also fought on their own. According to Cage's instructions, the fleeing soldiers were driven to one place.
All the surrendered soldiers were received by the infantry behind. Cage was like an arrow. Wherever his horse went, there were corpses everywhere. He killed a bloody road and killed all the senior generals. Seeing Cage's bravery, the soldiers of the Reis Empire became courageous, while the opponent became less and less combative. All the superiors died, leaving them without a backbone. Moreover, the opponent was brave and difficult to deal with. The most important thing was to run away.
House was still rushing to the camp. The pursuers behind kept chasing them and wanted revenge. They were exhausted. After running all night, the horses had no physical strength.
"Keep running. His Highness must be waiting for us in front. He will definitely come to save us."
House roared and led the way. He was about to reach the opponent's camp. There was also a large group of cavalry in front. Could it be that the two sides surrounded it? House secretly complained in his heart. Although he had the strength to escape, what about the cavalry behind him? Could he watch them die?
House was the last one to kill the enemy cavalrymen who were chasing him. After running all night, he felt a little tired. The cavalrymen in front were a little blurry. The one in front was wearing silver armor, riding a tall horse, holding a dragon-headed black golden spear in his hand.
"Yes, Your Highness, Your Highness is here to save us."
The cavalrymen following House looked at the cavalrymen coming from afar and saw that the leader was His Highness Cage.
"Oh."
He ran to his own troops with all his strength. As long as he reached His Highness, he would be safe. He felt a force burning in his body and ran quickly towards Cage.
The two cavalrymen merged together.
"You have worked hard. House, are you willing to kill the cavalrymen behind with me?" Cage's words were like a force injected into their bodies.
"Yes, Your Highness."
House turned his horse's head and followed Cage closely. The two rushed into the flock like beasts, and a row of pursuing cavalrymen fell like straw.
"Long live His Highness, long live His Highness."
The cavalrymen behind shouted and rushed towards the enemy's formation. Following Cage and House, they saw the enemy falling one after another. They picked up the gaps behind and stabbed those who were not dead.
Although there were many cavalrymen chasing, they were scattered in groups under the attack of Cage and House, because they saw that their large army had completely collapsed and kept running back.
"Your Highness, our camp was attacked by the Reis Empire and now it is all collapsed. The cavalrymen who chased were also killed by the enemy's main general who caught up. Your Highness, hurry up, otherwise it will be too late." A commander who escaped was already reporting to Reina with a pale face.
Conspiracy, this is a conspiracy that has been planned long ago. Reina felt the sky pale and dizzy.
"Your Highness, Your Highness."
The ladies around hurriedly helped Reina, who had fainted, and said to the commander, "Commander, gather the remaining troops and retreat immediately."
The commander immediately went out to prepare. Two maids changed into female armor and carried Reina on the horse. The shouting and killing sounded closer and closer, and even the shaking of the earth could be felt. How many people were there to have such a formation. The shouting and killing sounded together, and there were constantly deserters running in one direction. As Reina's guard camp, they protected Princess Reina and fled to the east.
"What's going on now?" I don't know when Reina woke up.
"Your Highness, the enemy has chased us, and we are now returning to Ruhr City." The guard lady said.
Reina was silent, returned to her horse, and followed the group of people. This was her first defeat in her life, and it was a terrible defeat. She felt that the opponent had been calculating her since the beginning of the war, calculating every step of her clearly. The troops she sent to the imperial capital for a sneak attack must be in danger, and they might have been wiped out. How to explain to the subjects of her empire when she returns this time, Reina's heart is bleeding.
"Your Highness, we have now gathered a large number of remnants and are about to reach Ruhr City."
"Well." Reina was no longer in the mood to listen to what the guards said, and now she had completely lost the strength to fight.
Gradually came to an open area, where she ambushed Cato, and here she defeated the opponent's 150,000 troops, but she didn't expect history to return to the starting point.
"Kill."
Shouts of killing suddenly sounded on both sides, and two teams of cavalry rushed directly to them from both sides, blocking the way forward. Although the number of people was not large, it was enough to deal a fatal blow to these tired deserters. It seemed that the opponent's commander wanted to catch them all in one fell swoop.
"Kill them out." Reina ordered.
"Yes."
Bagger and Gore had been waiting here as ordered by His Highness. Now they were waiting for this opportunity. According to His Highness's request, they must stop them from returning to Ruhr City and wait for Cage's arrival, blocking the entire road ahead to ensure that His Highness Cage could arrive. The time Cage gave them was one magic hour.
According to His Highness's request, one team directly blocked the road, and the other team directly attacked the opponent's troops. It seemed that they had been defeated by His Highness. Now was the time to kill them. One side was recuperating, and the other side was exhausted. Many remnants also blocked the way forward for the Guard Battalion. Bagger and Gore harvested a large number of opponents' lives.
The strength of the Guard Battalion was very strong. Bagger and his men gradually felt that it was difficult to resist. The proportion of high-level warriors of the opponent was much higher than that of the troops he brought. Although he had the advantage in physical strength, he was still weaker in actual combat, but thinking of His Highness Cage's military discipline, he had to stop even if he died and wait for His Highness' arrival, even if there was only one soldier left.
"Brothers, His Highness will be here soon, hold on." The two men shouted loudly.
