Chapter 1044: race against time

Popular recommendation:

Oberyn turned to look in the direction of Highgarden.

Providence or destiny.

It was the place where he suffered a defeat at Waterloo, which Oberyn had never suffered since he was in command.

"withdraw!"

"Get out of here."

Then he turned his head and said in a hoarse voice.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief."

And Oberyn issued an order to retreat, and the affairs officer Kane was also speechless.

Think about the enemy they face, after all, it is the world-renowned famous general, the God of War.

He can think of a counterattack on High Court at all costs, and the other party can naturally think of it.

As the old prince of Dorne said, General Bessie would not miss this opportunity. Maybe he has already set up an ambush, waiting for them to fight their last battle, and then completely wipe them out in High Court.

If that is the case, then this battle not only ruined the countless efforts before, but also killed half of His Highness His Highness's hope of being crowned emperor.

After all, the nobles of this war empire have seen it in the eyes. The second prince, Yin Meng, has survived this disaster. In the future, he will be reborn from ashes and turn into a giant dragon soaring in the sky.

At that time, if His Highness Helos wants to take care of his younger brother, I am afraid it will not be so easy.

Therefore, Oberyn's idea is not so difficult to understand, that is, to preserve his strength as much as possible, retreat first, wait for the regrouping, and finally fight to the death.

This is an old-fashioned and prudent idea that can't be faulted.

After all, the Imperial Legion was at a dangerous moment of starvation and cold. The food was soaked and washed away, and the tents where they settled were soaked in the water.

Now the soldiers had just finished a big battle, tired, hungry, drenched in heavy rain, cold in the water, and there were quite a few corpses in the water.

The disease may also spread quickly, and now I am immersed in darkness, but the sound of coughing has been constantly heard around.

These are all signs of danger, and a little carelessness can lead to death without burial.

Therefore, since Oberyn vetoed the desperate fight and was afraid of being ambushed, he must quickly evacuate from here.

After all, the soldiers can't stay in the water all the time, and they have to find a place to eat.

Otherwise, once the heavy rain stops and the defenders in High Court City chase after them, there is a risk that the entire army will be wiped out.

Therefore, Oberon considered for a moment and resolutely ordered the entire army to retreat, to evacuate this area as quickly as possible, at least not to stay in the water all the time.

And the affairs officer Kane did not hesitate, and immediately conveyed Oberyn's order to the following.

However, at this moment, a low voice of a giant dragon came from above their heads, and it spread far under the dim sky.

"Ho-"

huh~

huh~

Immediately, many people raised their heads and saw a golden dragon flapping its wings and flying towards the High Court, then circled over the High Court and flew into the distance.

"His Royal Highness."

But seeing the Overlord Terex flying into the sky, he disappeared into the sky in an instant.

The morale of many soldiers in the Imperial Legion took another hit.

They knew that they had disappointed His Royal Highness, but they suffered a defeat in a situation where they were sure to win.

And the old prince of Dorne also saw this scene, a pair of eyes showed sadness, and the years left deep wrinkles in the corners of his eyes.

He knew he was sorry for Helos.

In fact, according to the mother of Helos, Oberon is the uncle of Helos. After all, Renice is the daughter of Rhaegar and Oberyn's sister Yinlia.

Therefore, Oberyn and Dorne behind him unconditionally supported the coronation of Heros as the second generation of the Emperor of the Empire.

"Maybe it's almost over."

Then Oberyn sat down on the horse, reined in the reins, and sighed deeply.

For the first time he felt old.

He felt that his mind was no longer as sharp as before, but much duller.

He felt that he had lost his courage. He clearly knew that if he gave it a shot, he might have a chance to turn a defeat into a victory, but he didn't even have the courage to try.

Originally, Oberon was confident that he could live to eighty years old, eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and indulge in debauchery.

"And then died in the arms of a beloved woman or boy, ending my boring life."

This is a conversation Oberyn once had with his friend Tyrion in the courtroom.

Both of them expressed their ideals in unison, but it is very rare that the ideals of the two people are exactly the same.

But in Tyrion's ideal, there are only women and no boys.

Oberyn was unquestionably a genius, and geniuses are solitary, and indulgence is but a way of venting his boredom.

In fact, Oberyn has always been lonely inside.

This is why he never got married in his whole life, instead of giving birth to a child who could inherit his name, he left behind a bunch of illegitimate children.

But at this time, he suddenly encountered the biggest Waterloo in his life, and Oberon's pride and self-confidence seemed to be shattered.

As a genius all his life, he couldn't bear the pain of failure, and even fell into self-doubt and had some bad premonitions.

I am afraid that I will not be able to realize my dream.

"It seems that people like me should be doomed to die in battle, where can there be a good death..."

...

Oberyn ordered the retreat of the entire army ~www.NovelMTL.com~ throwing away all but rations and necessary weapons, and retreating at full speed in the direction of King's Landing.

He knew his old friend Bessie would come after him, and he would do whatever it took to keep them here.

Because if they can all stay here, this war will be considered a victory.

Otherwise, with the strength of the eldest prince, King's Landing, the capital of the empire, as the engine, coupled with the Golden Corps who are now dying in the Western Territory, it will not take long before Helos will be able to regroup and threaten the safety of High Court once again.

So Oberyn knew that Bessie would do whatever it took to keep them.

This is a race against time.

He had to run faster than the chasing soldiers to be able to escape smoothly and preserve the last hope of this part.

This reminded Oberyn that when he was young, he seemed to have played the same game with others, and it ended with his own victory.

What about this time?

In the High Court City, the heavy rain fell for a day and a night, and finally gradually stopped in the second half of the night.

Since Yin Meng obtained the divine artifact of the God of Storms skull, he told his teacher Bessie unreservedly.

As one of the best commanders of the empire, Bessie immediately thought of how to use this artifact to achieve the best tactical effect.

Therefore, he single-handedly planned the battle of the flooded High Court, and Yin Meng also drained all the divine power his father had bestowed upon him in this battle.

This weather-changing artifact cannot be activated again.

But Yin Meng has no doubts about employing people, and he believes that his teacher can help him achieve the ultimate victory.
