Inside the El Fortress.
The shadow warlock stood on the city wall and looked into the distance.
Among the billowing smoke and dust were Melissa and the knights running away in embarrassment.
to be honest.
Although I knew that Melissa was defeated according to the plan.
But I didn't expect that it would be defeated so miserably.
Hundreds of thousands of people went to war, but less than 20,000 came back.
and!
In the smoke and dust behind him, he could still see the pursuing Alpha Knight.
This scene was seen by the shadow warlock left behind in the fortress.
Even though he already knew that this was a planned defeat.
But I couldn't help but feel a sense of fear in my heart.
Within this secret realm.
Because of the suppression of rules.
Fang Yuan is already on the same starting line as them.
Even among the gods, except for the Red Flame God.
The remaining gods all entered the venue ten days in advance.
It took ten years to develop.
It already has a huge advantage.
Originally thought that many powerful legions in the old continent were lost.
Within this secret realm.
Facing the army of gods that has been developing for ten years.
Fang Yuan is bound to die.
But the real result makes people feel desperate.
First, it was the beast god of the orc kingdom, for some unknown reason.
When it actually occupies a huge advantage.
Bulldozed by the natives.
Although the Divine Lord guessed that Fang Yuan must be behind this.
But it also made the gods intuitively feel for the first time that Fang Yuan besides the powerful legion he had.
The power of his strategy is also extremely terrifying.
Then the gods adjusted their plans.
Lurking in the royal capital, he secretly controls the situation.
Prepare to take advantage of the chaos in Alpha Capital.
Use Alpha's nobles to fight a proxy war with Fang Yuan.
result!
They shot continuously, but they didn't find out Fang Yuan's identity in Alpha.
Instead, he exposed himself and was kicked out of the royal capital.
Then the royal capital was controlled by Fang Yuan.
Then the battle outside the royal capital ensued.
The defeat was even more disastrous! ! !
All the secrets buried in Alpha for the past ten years were sent in.
It was a complete defeat.
The defeat of the royal capital also symbolizes being within the secret realm.
The gods faced Fang Yuan, switching from offense to defense.
The balance of strategy tilted towards Fang Yuan.
In order to win, the gods united to unite the five kingdoms.
Prepare to take advantage of the six countries’ advantages in materials and military strength.
Continuously wearing down Fang Yuan.
A detailed plan was drawn up for this purpose.
But at the most critical moment, he was interrupted by Fang Yuan.
Things happened first at sea.
Don't wait for them to come up with a solution.
Then something happened to Hasting again.
The gods decided to abandon the sea.
Here in Hasting, Alpha, controlled by Fang Yuan, was dragged into the quagmire of war.
Use the national power far stronger than Alpha to smooth out the gap between the two sides bit by bit.
But now!
The shadow warlock standing on the city wall looked at Melissa who fled to El Fortress.
There.
In order to stop the pursuers behind him.
Melissa's army divided another three thousand to intercept.
And these three thousand cavalrymen just stopped.
He was swallowed up by the knights coming from behind.
It has no hysteresis effect on pursuing troops.
There is a huge contrast in strength between the two sides.
I couldn't help but have questions in my mind.
"Can the gods' plan in Hastings really succeed?"
As far as he knows.
The army that was chasing Melissa were just natives controlled by Fang Yuan.
It is not the main force behind Fang Yuan's awakening.
And Melissa's heavy armored cavalry.
That was the divine knight who had been awakened by the Harvest Goddess and was blessed by divine grace.
In general.
One divine knight is enough to defeat three or even more native cavalry.
But now!
The cavalry chasing outside the city chopped up Melissa's heavily armored knights like vegetables.
Suddenly another two thousand were lost.
"I'm afraid this plan will be very uncertain."
"This matter should be reported to the Red Flame God."
"Once something becomes impossible, you still have to leave when it's time to leave."
The shadow warlock himself is not the same as the evil god.
He comes from a world of mist.
The only master I am loyal to is the God of Red Flame.
It's just a cooperative relationship with the evil god.
But in the face of life and death, he has no psychological burden at all to betray his cooperating allies.
But the Shadow Warlock will definitely not leave just like that.
Planning hasn't started yet.
No matter what.
You have to fight it to know that.
If you can't win the fight, it's not too late to leave.
After all, he is also a dragon knight! ! !
If you want to leave, no one can keep you.
This is the confidence of a shadow warlock.
But at the same time, it will also become his Achilles' heel.
outside the city.
After two thousand cavalry were annihilated.
Melissa frowned slightly.
All of his heavily armored knights were killed so quickly.
The pursuers behind them were terrifyingly powerful.
But El Fortress is right in front of you.
Melissa didn't hesitate at all.
Another three thousand knights left behind.
Strategies like laying down layers of defense and adding lamp oil cannot stop the pursuers behind you.
The three thousand knights who were left behind were suddenly surrounded by Guderian who was pursuing them.
The rest of the cavalry bypassed them and pursued them directly.
suddenly!
Melissa, who was running away, turned her head sharply.
"Hasting Guards!"
"After the break."
Immediately he drew out his long knife and chopped it off.
Beheaded the astonished deputy commander of the Hastings Guards beside him.
Deputy Commander Death's head fell to the ground.
The Knights of Hastings who originally escaped.
One by one, they reined in their horses and froze on the spot.
Melissa took advantage of this opportunity.
He took his people and fled quickly.
In a moment, he had disappeared in front of the guards.
Sacrifice these knights who escaped on their own.
No pity for Melissa at all.
After all, the lives of indigenous people are not lives at all.
The three thousand Hasting native knights who stayed behind had not had time to continue their escape.
He was quickly caught up by the Alpha Knight behind him.
The entire Knights were quickly surrounded.
At this moment, they are facing these border knights.
Either surrender or fight to the death.
The knights of the Guards of Hastings are all nobles.
But he is not a die-hard loyal to the evil god.
After seeing that there was no hope of escape.
He quickly chose to lay down his weapons and surrender.
Defeat and surrender were not a shameful thing for the nobles.
After all, as long as you have money.
Can still be redeemed.
If you die, there is nothing.
Melissa, who was running away, turned her head and saw the Praetorian knights surrendering to Hastings.
He let out a cold "hum".
These natives just can't be trusted.
but!
That's when Melissa found out.
After the surrender of the indigenous knights.
The pursuers stopped instead.
In order to gather the surrendered knights, Alpha's border knights were unable to spare any manpower to pursue them.
I have to say this is a huge irony.
"Your Excellency."
"They stopped chasing!"
The heavy armored cavalry hero beside him looked at the stopped Alpha Border Knight, and looked at Melissa with some concern.
"It doesn't matter."
"They have chased them here."
"You just fell into our trap."
"I just didn't expect that these border knights are not only powerful in combat."
"You still have such strong endurance."
"You have been chasing us for so long, and you still have this kind of fighting power."
Melissa reined in her horse.
The heavily armored knight behind him no longer ran away.
Regrouped.
He no longer had the embarrassing and panic-stricken temperament he had before.
The elite temperament of the Divine Legion began to be restored.
Guderian witnessed all this from a distance.
The next moment, he waved his hand.
The border knights followed closely behind.
In an instant, the chaotic battlefield quickly calmed down.
The surrender of the Hastings Guards.
They all dismounted and dropped their weapons and armor.
Concentrated not far away.
These people have no fight left.
The Border Knights have regrouped.
"Are you preparing for a showdown?"
Guderian withdrew his gaze, and the war horse beneath him seemed to sense that the atmosphere was unusual.
Horse hooves trampled the gravel on the ground from time to time.
Breathing heavily through the nose.
"Your Excellency, there is a large group of unknown legions surrounding us, and they are surrounding us."
The noble officers of the Border Knights beside him stepped forward cautiously.
"Got it."
"Let's get ready."
"As soon as you are ordered, follow me immediately."
Guderian nodded slightly.
The noble officers around him left quickly.
Go and fulfill Guderian's orders.
And he just walked away.
Then the knights who surrendered from Hasting came to Guderian.
When you see each other.
The other party revealed his identity.
A black lotus mark.
This is Heidi's secret agent.
"Your Excellency, I am a secret agent of Team 9."
"Responsible for the task of spying on the knights of the Hastings Guards."
"My subordinates are incompetent and did not detect that the other party was setting up an ambush around them."
"So much so that the army was surrounded."
When he met Guderian, his face was filled with self-blame.
Because at this time, the ambush legions appeared around them.
This made the spy realize that his mission had failed.
"No."
"You've done a great job."
Guderian did not blame the other party.
Reconnaissance intelligence.
It is impossible to master everything.
not to mention.
In this ambush, the evil god was able to use his own legion as bait.
Almost all money was spent.
Such a top secret plan.
How could it be obtained by a secret agent of the Imperial Guard?
"It can only be said that the other party hid it too deeply this time."
"Even if you can be the governor of El Fortress, I'm afraid you have no right to know about this ambush mission."
"Now that you have been exposed."
"Then there's no need to stay in Hastings."
"Put on your gear and become my knight."
"It's just time for me to have a good meeting with the evil god's elite main force."
"Wait until we defeat the evil god's ambush army."
"I will ask Heidi for credit at that time."
Guderian held the Gondor spear and lightly touched the opponent's body.
A golden light point fell into his body.
This secret agent changed his profession to become a Dragonlance Knight.
This works as a skill attached to the Spear of Gondor.
Able to enfeoff knights loyal to Guderian.
On the battlefield, if a knight dies in battle.
It only takes a little bit of Gondor's spear to transform quickly.
It is most suitable for replenishing elite knights during bloody battles.
This is also why the Border Knights are so powerful in combat.
Most of the backbones were transformed from Gondor spears.
Originally, this piece of equipment was also suppressed by the rules of the plane.
But after Fang Yuan used a lot of magic crystals to refine it.
The power of Gondor's spear was unlocked.
This also allowed Guderian to train a border knights who were not afraid of attrition.
That is, the Dragonlance Knight.
But this transformation is also conditional.
Must be a knight first.
Then there's loyalty.
Loyal to the forces controlled by Fang Yuan.
Without loyalty, conversion will fail.
Fang Yuan had tried before, wanting to use the Spear of Gondor to transform the nobles of the royal capital.
Unfortunately they all failed.
These parasites, although they keep shouting loyalty to the country.
But that's all bullshit.
It's just an excuse to parasitize Alpha and suck blood.
This forced Fang Yuan to use puppet insect potion on these nobles.
For these parasites, the control effect of puppet worm is the best.
After a while.
The Border Knights completed their rally.
They are on the battlefield.
Divided into two formations.
Guderian holding the spear of Gondor as the spearhead.
Behind them were two cavalry groups composed of border knights.
"You!"
"Go to the front and find the opponent's commander."
"He just said he wanted to eat our border knights."
"I'm just afraid of breaking your teeth!"
"Inform all knights."
"Go forward first."
"Driving the opponent's army to turn."
"Then turn at the front."
"The army broke out from the rear on the right."
“The line of defense over there is the weakest!”
Guderian would not let his border knights die in vain.
Although they are indigenous.
But as an excellent commander.
As long as subordinates are loyal to themselves.
At no time should they be allowed to die pointlessly.
Even if it means death.
It must also be of sufficient value.
The knight responsible for going to declare a challenge to Melissa was about to leave.
Guderian suddenly thought of something again.
"Wait a minute."
He called to the other party.
"Tear her clothes off."
Guderian pointed to a female knight among the knights of the Guards.
In the Kingdom of Hastings.
There are many female knights.
As long as there is strength, the world does not refuse women to become knights.
But most of the female knights are not the type with forward and backward figures as seen in Japanese comics.
They are all fierce women with fists as big as casseroles.
Killing a wild beast with just one punch is commonplace.
But even so, the clothes worn by female knights are very different.
Guderian's order puzzled the envoy.
But still choose to execute faithfully.
After taking off the clothes.
Guderian provoked it with a dragon spear.
Said with satisfaction.
"Take them and give them to Melissa."
"Just say, just go back and have children."
"Battlefield!"
"Belongs to real men."
"A female knight dressed in fancy clothes, with a protruding front and back."
"The most suitable place is my bed!"
These humiliating words must be intended to anger the other person.
Guderian did this at this time.
It must be to mess up the other person's mind.
As long as Melissa is anxious.
Then the possibility of Guderian escaping with his army is very high.
As long as Guderian can escape with most of the legions.
Then the Evil God Legion, which failed in its ambush, would never give up just like that.
Will definitely be pursued.
And this!
That's what Guderian wanted.
The messenger took the clothes.
He took a deep breath and nodded.
He knew that this mission would lead to death.
But at this time, I couldn't allow myself to take a step back.
"As you command, Your Excellency."
"Please don't forget me, Lord Clareo of the Border Red Snake Territory."
"There is also a young son in my territory."
Guderian nodded.
Note down his name.
Afterwards, the messenger knight took his clothes and left with a solemn expression.
at the same time.
The border knights behind Guderian began to change formations rapidly.
And this time.
Guderian's eyes stared into the distance.
There!
The messenger has arrived in front of Melissa.
suddenly.
Melissa drew her sword and pointed it at the messenger.
His eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"Seeking death!"
The long sword swung.
The messenger's head flew up.
And just at this moment.
Guderian's hand suddenly dropped. "Rush!!!"(End of this chapter)
