Chapter 90 You can die, but you can’t lose
Hearing the almost collapsed cry, Vesdon turned his head and his heart trembled suddenly.
As far as the eye can see, the field of vision is almost filled with horse thieves, and less than half of the Eagle Army is still riding on horseback!
Some of them fell to the ground, their internal organs were crushed by the horses' hooves, and their hearts and lungs spilled out of their mouths.
Some were impaled on their horses with spears, and they fell to the ground with their horses. They could not break free and died in pain.
Some had half of their bodies cut off, and even their hearts were exposed!
Even the Eagle Army still on horseback, everyone was injured and bloody!
If this continues, the whole army will soon be wiped out!
Veston clenched the hilt of the sword, raised the blade, and suppressed the unwillingness in his heart:
"The second team is at the rear!"
"Eagle Army—Retreat!"
Veston's roar echoed throughout the battlefield, but it failed to immediately change the situation of the battle.
The Eagle Army and the Horse Thieves have already mixed together without distinguishing each other, and they are intertwined.
The sudden change of purpose makes the battlefield even more chaotic than before!
Every soldier of the Eagle Army began to look for opportunities to break out.
White didn't move because he was part of the second group.
Now, his shield is full of pits, his sword is full of gaps, and the leather armor on his body is dotted with six or seven holes, some deep and some shallow. Although it did not hurt any vital parts, it still makes the original The black and gray leather armor was dyed red.
The moment he heard Vesdon's order, the comrade beside him was distracted and was stabbed into the throat by a lance. He immediately lost his life and fell off his horse.
Blood spattered on White's face, looking extremely hot under the cold weather and freezing ground.
But he didn't bother to wipe it off, not only because his body was already covered with blood, but also because a new attack had arrived!
He raised the shield, and there was a soft clang sound. His arm shook, and a flying ax was already embedded in it. The ax blade penetrated the shield, reflecting the bloody light.
There was a sound of wind in his ears. White expressionlessly used his long sword to block the scimitar coming from the side. When they passed each other, he saw the ferocious smile on the other person's face.
But he didn't care, and there was no wave in his heart.
White can't even feel his current emotions.
Calm, numb, and indifferent are not enough to describe his current state.
The fear was far away from him, and he couldn't feel the slightest excitement.
There is only one thought in his mind now -
Complete the mission!
White tilted his head slightly, letting go of the spear that was coming towards him, and slashed forward with the sword in his hand against the barrel of the spear.
The horse thief on the opposite side let out a cry of pain, and two fingers fell in mid-air, but this did not affect the horse thief's movements. He drew back his spear and stabbed again.
It has to be said that the ferocity of these horse thieves is far beyond White's knowledge.
At this time, perhaps he should have galloped forward and thrust the sword edge into the opponent's chest, but White did not do so.
He is not a cavalryman. He can only avoid being thrown off when riding a horse. Now in the battle, he must ensure that he can always sit on the horse.
So he raised his shield.
The shield-raising movement that has been practiced thousands of times has almost become an instinct, allowing it to block the only way for the lance to pass.
Click——
The spear pierced the shield, the iron sheet rolled, and the wood chips flew away.
White felt a light touch on his hand, and the already overwhelmed shield suddenly shattered, and the gun blade pushed forward and pierced his shoulder.
Surprisingly, White didn't even feel the pain. He clamped the head of the gun firmly on his shoulders, raised his left hand to hold the gun barrel, and pulled it sharply behind him.
I didn’t expect White to make such a move. Before the horse thief had time to let go, his center of gravity, which was already unstable due to the thrust, was completely destroyed, and he fell forward from the horse.
White raised his sword and slit his throat.
The corpse fell to the ground with the spear, and the gun blade was pulled out from White's shoulder, causing a pool of blood.
There is no time to breathe, no time to bandage, no time to rejoice. Because another horse thief was rushing towards him.
The four horse thieves were like a wall and a forest, their horses' hooves rolled up the mud with blood, and their spears shone with a terrifying light.
A sudden realization arose in White's heart.
I am probably really going to die here.
The moment he realized this fact, White's heart began to beat vigorously, and pictures from his life passed rapidly through his mind.
Surprisingly, some of the scenes he thought he would never forget disappeared in a flash. Only his career after joining the Eagle Army was clear.
The first time to train, the first time to make a mistake, the first time to have a dinner together, the first time to involve the whole team in running together...
Less than four months of training turned out to be the most meaningful time in his life.
He raised the long sword in his hand and pointed it forward, wanting to say something.
But the next moment, as the sound of horse hooves approached, four spears pierced his chest almost simultaneously!
“Go to hell!”
The horse thieves roared angrily!
The sound of broken bones reached White's ears clearly, and blood gushed out from his mouth and nose like spring water.
But White was not dead yet. Instead, he raised his head, his eyes filled with blood, and his voice was hoarse and cracked but clear:
"...I can die."
"But, the Eagle Army cannot be destroyed...!!"
"Lord Baron, we cannot lose!!!!"
He hissed and roared.
Using his last strength, White threw the long sword at a horse thief, but the sword lost its strength as soon as he let go and fell in vain in the dirt.
What a pity, I still want to kill another one for the Baron...
He put one hand on the gun barrel and raised his middle finger tremblingly with the other hand:
"Fuck you...!"
This sound was particularly long, so long that it took his last breath and took away his life.
The four horse thieves were stunned for a moment. They had killed many people, but they had never seen such an enemy.
Even though they were in different camps, these horse thieves also had a hint of admiration for White.
The sound of horse hooves sounded slowly, and Heleti rode up. He looked at White's body with a solemn expression, and then drove the horse to White's side.
Horse thieves worship the strong, and White's performance is undoubtedly worthy of this title.
And Heleti is also a well-known strong man in the bloody highlands!
Just when everyone thought that Heleti would show the most basic respect to this strong man.
He suddenly pulled out the scimitar from his waist and suddenly chopped off White's head!
“Did you see it?” Pulling White’s hair, Heleti raised White’s head high, looked around, and said in a cold and hard voice:
“This is and What happens if I do something wrong!”
The wind was very cold, but these words were even colder, making the horse thieves present feel terrified.
Heleti's eyes swept across the battlefield.
That’s right, there were more than twenty or nearly thirty Eagle Army corpses lying on the ground.
But the number of corpses of horse thieves was more than ten.
With twice the troops and fighting on horseback, the Eagle Army was still able to inflict such battle losses.
It’s all because of soldiers like White!
Once these veterans who have seen blood return to the bloody highlands, with them as the backbone in the coming year, I am afraid they will attract not only a hundred people, but two hundred, three hundred, or even five hundred!
Never let them go!
Heleti looked at the Eagle Army, which was still maintaining order even though it was retreating, and shouted an order:
"Chase me!"
