The border between the Kingdom of Alpha and the Kingdom of Hastings.
Guderian stands on the hill.
Behind him are thousands of the most elite border knights.
The number of mid-level magic crystal warriors inside accounts for a full 1/3.
Fang Yuan took out part of the potion and gave it to Guderian to enhance the strength of his subordinates.
"Where are you?"
Guderian asked Heidi who was not far away.
They came here to meet the retreating resistance forces of the Hasting Kingdom.
It was also to ambush the pursuing legion.
Win the first battle.
Heidi concentrated slightly, and then looked into her demon eyes.
inside.
Thousands of cavalry are fleeing this way.
Behind them was the endless pursuing legion with no end in sight.
From the armor on these pursuers.
It is easy to identify that these people are the knights of the Hasting Kingdom.
There are actually alchemists among these guard knights.
In the process of pursuit.
In the camp of the guard knights, alchemical birds are constantly released.
Birds of all sizes soared into the sky.
It quickly smashed into the rebels.
Every explosion would take away the lives of hundreds of rebel knights.
Fortunately, these alchemists don't have many puppets in their hands.
otherwise!
There are simply not enough people like the rebels to kill.
Facing this kind of pursuit.
The rebels had no chance to fight back.
He can only be beaten passively.
After a while.
The number of rebels dropped sharply to less than five hundred.
Most of them are nobles.
They escorted the prince and shot towards the direction of Guderian's ambush.
Nowadays, they have no intention of resisting at all.
The so-called noble honor had long since disappeared with the defeat.
To escape.
He left almost everything behind, including his wife, children, subordinates, and fiefdom.
No more.
You know, this is the territory that occupies 1/3 of Hasting's land.
The resources it possesses are enough to easily raise a fully equipped army of one hundred thousand.
But now!
All is gone.
Seven battles and seven defeats.
Hasting's resistance army was strangled by the combination of the evil god and the Praetorian Guard.
All the territory considered as the foundation was captured.
Even if the nobles gathered together, there would be an army of magic crystal warriors numbering up to 5,000.
It was also easily conquered by the evil god's army.
The scene where hundreds of legendary dragon knights descended on the battlefield.
It became a nightmare for all Hastings rebels.
"Today, the resistance of the Principality of Hastings has been completely wiped out."
"The evil god has gathered all the elites."
"In the shortest possible time, they were annihilated."
"No one was left alive wherever he passed."
"This greatly shocked the resistance nobles of the other four countries."
"There are already some rebels who have begun to contact the royal family to surrender."
"The evil gods' plan to use the resistance of the Kingdom of Hasting to frighten other countries has been completed."
"This will inevitably allow the evil god to completely control the other countries."
"Bring out the war potential of all countries."
"Delay your lord's plan."
In the process of waiting.
Heidi told Guderian the latest information.
She took the initiative to contact the prince of Hastings.
Instigating rebellion against the domestic nobility.
Heidi was also involved throughout the entire process.
Even the resistance territory that occupied 1/3 of the country was obtained by Heidi's plan for them.
Because of this, many people under Heidi directly joined the resistance.
It is these.
Only Heidi could know it, in the temple of the Harvest Goddess in Hastings.
The original plan was to use them to complete a beautiful counterattack in Hastings.
After successfully defeating the evil god, he supported the new prince to ascend to the throne.
Heidi alone replicated the record in Alpha.
Her plan was initially successful.
But unfortunately, the strength is still too weak after all.
You can't win on the battlefield.
All plans are false.
The defeat of the rebels caused Heidi's manpower losses in Hastings to be heavy.
This made her extremely angry.
So there was this ambush against the Hastings Guards.
She will use the blood of these people to avenge the spies who died in the battle!
No one could kill her subordinates with impunity.
Heidi is such a character who must take revenge when she wants revenge.
Just like when he followed Aria.
Only a few hundred of the remnants of the resistance were left.
The speed of retreat was significantly accelerated.
The rest of these people are all nobles.
They are all magic crystal warriors.
They wanted nothing more than to escape.
No matter how powerful the alchemist is.
It's also hard to blast them with puppets.
But when we are about to enter the ambush circle.
Their speed began to slow down.
Some noble knights have begun to pretend to be weak and lure the pursuers behind them into taking the bait.
In this kind of pursuit battle that is almost certain to win.
This disguised temptation is almost irresistible to the pursuers.
The knights of the Guards saw these nobles who were panting and could no longer run.
Every eye shines.
It's like a hungry wolf seeing a rabbit.
I can no longer care about much.
One by one, they rushed forward desperately.
I didn't even think about the possibility of this being a trap.
"When chasing, we don't even need formation."
"Is there a high reward for the rebels?"
Standing in the dense forest, looking at the sight of the Devil's Eye, Guderian and Dai asked doubtfully.
This was once the Mad King of Gondor.
After going through the war, the potential of a famous general has already been developed.
In a battle like this, the enemy's weaknesses can be seen almost at a glance.
Whether it was the previous battle in the royal capital or the surprise attack on the orc grassland further away.
Guderian's opponents are not weak.
But at this moment, such stupid opponents as these pursuers.
This was the first time for Guderian to meet him.
"I heard that the reward for the rebel prince is one million gold coins."
"The Duke is half a million."
"The Marquis is four hundred thousand, and so on."
"Even if he is the most ordinary soldier, he will be rewarded with gold coins if he is caught."
"In this secret era, most of the time, the mainstream currencies are copper coins and silver coins."
"On the battlefield, it is a good thing to get gold coins by killing a soldier."
"Even the Guards, the legions full of nobles, will go crazy for this."
"What's more, the remaining rebels are now nobles per capita."
"If you catch one, it's hundreds of thousands!"
Heidi stared at the Devil's Eye and answered casually after hearing Guderian's question.
He already knew about the reward.
He also told the rebels in Hasting about this.
It's a pity that the other party didn't listen.
Because this will immediately bankrupt Hastings' finances.
After all, Hastings is not a wealthy country.
But unfortunately, they didn't know the reason behind this strangulation.
In addition to Hasting's imperial guards, there is also the main force of the evil god.
gold!
Haha, how could the evil god be short of gold coins?
"Your Excellency Heidi."
"Among the legions pursuing this time, are there no legions of evil gods?"
"Where are they and why haven't I heard you talk about them?"
Guderian looked away and asked.
The pursuing Hastings Guards were nothing more than an appetizer.
Guderian didn't take it seriously at all.
Now he has the highest command of the Border Corps.
The target is of course the main army of the evil god.
This time he only brought 5,000 border knights, and the other 25,000 border knights did not come.
In addition to terrain restrictions and other reasons.
In addition, this powerful knight army should not be exposed now.
They have to wait for the main force of the evil god to appear before joining the battlefield.
"Still in the Kingdom of Hastings."
"Actually, when we were in the royal capital, the king ordered the nobles to convene a council."
"The evil gods already knew that the war was about to begin."
"In the Kingdom of Alpha, there are many spies of the evil god."
"I'm afraid they know exactly when we arrive at the border."
"Otherwise, it would be impossible to wipe out Hasting's resistance so quickly."
"As for where they are now."
“We haven’t got any specific information yet.”
"But from what I know about them."
"I guess their location should be somewhere on the border."
"They must be looking for fighters too."
"This is a battle in the dark forest."
"Whoever wants to be exposed first will be attacked by the opponent's concentrated superior power."
After Heidi finished speaking, she looked into the distance with a faint look.
It seems to be penetrating the space to find the location of the evil god's main force.
About half an hour passed.
Beyond the densely forested hills.
Suddenly there was the sound of horse hooves.
Then, under the hill.
One by one, shadowy cavalry jumped out of the horizon.
appeared in sight.
These cavalrymen are the rebel nobles who escaped.
They moved quickly towards the hills.
Wait until closer.
Guderian could see that these people were covered in injuries.
His face was full of exhaustion, and there was no emotion other than fear in his eyes.
After they saw the hills.
He rushed in in a panic.
The leader of the prince's war horse stumbled and fell forward.
Fortunately, his own strength is good.
He took a leap and landed firmly on the ground.
The nobles who followed him pulled him onto their horses.
Rushing towards the hill desperately.
And behind this escaping rebel cavalry.
A legion composed of Guards cavalry and alchemists also followed closely at this moment.
The knight at the head is the most conspicuous.
There are a lot of golden ornaments on the tall horse.
The knight's figure is also two meters tall.
Armor covered in golden light.
At first glance, his strength is extraordinary.
See each other appear.
Heidi clenched her fists.
There was hatred in his eyes.
"Is he Fermi?"
Guderian asked next to him.
Heidi took a deep breath and nodded.
"The leader of the Praetorian Guard."
"He is also the first nobleman to pledge allegiance to the evil god."
"The strength itself is legendary."
"Also a traitor to the Resistance."
"My people first started operating in Hastings."
"To a large extent, I got help from the other party."
"Unexpectedly, this person is actually a double agent."
"Between the evil god and the rebels, both sides get benefits."
"By the time I found out, it was too late."
"He took the evil god's men and destroyed the secret agent base I worked so hard to build in Hastings."
"Then he led an army of 60,000 people and invaded the base camp of the resistance army."
"In one night, more than 200,000 resistance family members were slaughtered."
"None of the spies I retained have been withdrawn."
"Following the rebel family, died in the base camp."
Heidi gained attention from the lord.
But who knows.
This is really not something that ordinary people can do.
Dancing on the edge of a knife at any time.
Operate in the heart of the enemy.
An accidental exposure!
I really can't save him even if I want to.
"I will avenge them today!"
Guderian groaned.
And this time.
The fleeing rebels stopped.
With their backs to the jungle, they formed a circular formation.
all around them.
Chase down the Imperial Guards who come up and take advantage of their superior strength.
They have been surrounded.
Now the last bit of strength of the Hastings resistance has become a turtle in the jar.
Fermi now had a winning chance.
Instead, there was no rush to take action against the last rebels.
"Yo~"
"Your Excellency, the Third Prince."
"Please allow me to call you Third Prince again."
"Looking at your situation, you are not planning to run away."
"What?"
“Is it because I can’t run out, or I’m already on the verge of death.”
Femi rode up on his horse.
Looking at the embarrassed rebel prince, he said in a teasing tone.
It's like teasing a dog waiting to be slaughtered.
Hear what Fermi said.
The third prince of Hasting's face turned very ugly.
Not just him, but other Hastings rebel nobles.
There was a look of hatred on their faces.
It was this traitor who killed the rebels and all their relatives.
"Femi, you shameless traitor."
"Do you really think that by taking refuge in the evil god, you will have nothing to worry about?"
"Don't think that there is no one in this world who can kill you!!!"
The third prince gritted his teeth and cursed.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he even lost his aristocratic demeanor.
He was already angry at what the other party had done.
Fermi was not angry at all.
Instead, he said jokingly.
"So you still didn't kill me."
"Even if I kill your whole family."
"Fucked your wife and daughter."
"Oh, no."
"Let my guards line up to get on them, and you can only watch, but you can't do anything to me!!!"
"Yes, Your Excellency the Third Prince!!!"
Say this.
Femi looked behind him.
The Imperial Guards who followed let out loud laughter.
"Haha, Third Prince, your wife is quite nice."
"The first time I enjoy the royal family, the taste is indeed different."
"Your Excellency Fermi, I feel more comfortable following you."
"Of course, I, Fermi, am not a wasteful person!"
Hear these words.
The third prince almost fainted from anger.
He never expected that Fermi would be so shameless.
Actually when the two armies were fighting.
In public, let the soldiers give his wife and daughter to him~
The angry third prince couldn't hold it back.
Send troops directly to attack.
Then he fell into the opponent's trap and failed miserably.
"You... you beasts, you will not die well!!!"
The third prince fainted, and the nobles around him pointed at them and cursed loudly.
But it didn't help.
If they fail to win on the battlefield, not only themselves, but also their families will be implicated.
"Humph, beast!"
"Stupid guy."
“I don’t even believe in gods.”
"Still trying to resist the gods!"
“It’s really asking for death!!!”
"A few days ago, your family received divine punishment."
"And today!"
"It's your turn."
"God says that all those who have no faith are original sin!"
"God said that if you kill those who have no faith, you can enter the divine realm."
"God said that the blood of the unbelieving can obtain divine grace."
Fermi was truly a fanatic.
He knows how to confuse people.
These few words came out of my mouth.
The eyes of the Imperial Guards around him showed a look of fanaticism.
"Obey God's will and kill them!!!"
Fermi issued the final order.
But the words just fell.
A long roar came from the jungle.
"Fuck you!"
Accompanied by sound.
Guderian jumped out of the dense forest one man and one horse.
"I don't believe in God."
"You have the guts to kill me!"
The sudden change surprised and panicked Hasting's guards.
The cavalrymen who had originally taken action were now attracted to Guderian.
At this time, Fermi was the first to react.
He saw the armor on Guderian.
"You are!"
"Alpha Frontier Knights!"
"No, there's an ambush!"
Unfortunately it was discovered too late.
Guderian would not give them time to react.
"Frontier Knights!"
"Roar!" "Charge!" (End of Chapter)
