Chapter 1424 One-on-one

Fleeing is contagious. Initially, only a small group of soldiers may be unable to resist fleeing, but when this small group of soldiers cannot be stopped, other soldiers will also flee, eventually leading to an uncontrollable rout on the battlefield.

This happens especially when morale is low, and it can cause a chain reaction all of a sudden.

I was already very tired from traveling for days, and I didn't even have a warm meal. When I arrived, I immediately started to attack the city. The strategic magic didn't work, and a dragon appeared.

If the Subia Demon Kingdom army still has the will to fight, it will go towards the supervising team.

Seen from above, the soldiers on the entire battlefield start from the front and roll back, like a wave.

The people at the front ran back, and naturally the troops that pressed in would also run back. The formation was completely messed up. No matter how much the war drums beat, no one stepped forward.

At this time, the huge silver horn of Blackstone Fortress emitted a low echo, followed by a loud trumpet, and the rumble of horse hooves immediately covered the sound of the horn. The cavalry set off from Blackstone Fortress and gave the fleeing soldiers a meal. Clean.

It was very difficult for infantry to fight against cavalry. Before the popularization of thermal weapons, the only way for infantry was to raise their guns and shields and form a solid formation to resist cavalry charges.

As for the fleeing soldiers, it was obvious that they would not be able to form a spear formation without the organization and would be crushed by the cavalry.

It is a standard operation to release cavalry to pursue the fleeing soldiers, but it is indeed rare for a commander like Viola to really fall in love with something...

Ah yes, Viola leads the charge.

One hand holds a sword, slashing left and right, and the other hand holds a spear, poking randomly.

Even though there were knights of the Guard by his side and they were facing broken troops, it was still risky to rush out.

So just as Viola led the cavalry to rush out, a column of holy light suddenly fell from the deep night sky, and it shone unbiasedly on Viola.

It was Li Chengqi who saw this and fired a shot of 'Destiny's Choice', giving Viola more temporary power to ensure her safety when she rushed out.

In the eyes of everyone on the battlefield, this scene had different effects.

The morale of the soldiers in Avarus was so high that they really had gods shining on them, which made the soldiers feel that what they were fighting was indeed a holy war.

The soldiers of the Demonic Kingdom of Subia were already fleeing, and they were even more afraid of running slower when they saw this. Even if some soldiers still had some will to resist, they could only flee for their lives under the illumination of this holy light, leaving the already chaotic situation. The battlefield becomes more chaotic.

The soldiers on both sides didn't know whether the Demon King God was paying attention to this battle. After all, unlike before, Li Chengqi came up with a rain of fire and then intervened forcefully.

Now everyone knows that the Demon King God is watching.

The Subia Demon Kingdom army was completely out of luck. They abandoned all their siege equipment, and even weapons such as spears that were inconvenient for their escape, completely forming an uncontrollable rout.

At the rear headquarters of the Subia Demon Kingdom army, Isaac still stood there like a statue, watching the soldiers fleeing indifferently.

Perhaps this reminded him of the disastrous defeat in Open City, or perhaps it reminded him of the night when his grandfather died at the hands of Viola.

The staff officers were busy with their feet on the ground. They issued orders one after another in an attempt to stabilize the morale of the troops.

But the shattered morale made all the orders come to nothing, and no one was willing to listen to them. In the end, even the messengers never returned.

At this point, no matter how reluctant the staff were, they had to admit that they had lost the battle.

One of the staff officers approached Isaac:

"General, we need to retreat immediately. Her Royal Highness's cavalry will be here soon."

In this era of war, it is generally meaningless to capture small soldiers. Everyone generally likes to capture officer-level prisoners, because these officers are all nobles, and they are excellent materials for negotiation and exchange of money, while small soldiers are of little value.

So of course, after the cavalry led by Viola charged on the battlefield for a while, they immediately rushed to the rear headquarters.

Isaac still didn't answer, wondering if he had fallen asleep.

The staff officers were anxious and angry. It was impossible to win this battle. Their troops were seriously insufficient in number and their morale was very low. Moreover, they had no means to deal with the Demon King and God. They were just hitting the stone with eggs.

The staff officer didn't understand why the order to send troops was issued from above. The staff officer could only do his job well.

Now that we have lost, we must reduce our losses as much as possible.

"General, now is not the time to be stunned, the soldiers need you!"

"Do I look like I'm in a daze?"

Isaac finally responded, but asked an irrelevant question.

The staff officer's lungs are about to explode. Can you be more reliable when riding a horse?

"You must be thinking now, the Tiger of the Kingdom is so unfortunate that his grandson is actually a loser."

Isaac's calm words shocked the staff officer, he really thought so just now.

This staff officer has been in the army for twenty years. It can be said that he has been working under the Kingdom Tigers since he first entered the army. He has great respect for Isaac's grandfather.

Now that his grandson is in such a bad state, the staff officer certainly feels very uncomfortable.

Isaac sighed, and he turned to face the staff officer:

"I know it all, and I also know that this battle will definitely be lost, but this is a battle that has to be fought. I don't expect you to understand, but please believe that, like grandpa, I will always be for the kingdom."

At this time, the sound of horse hooves has become louder and louder, and Viola is very close to the headquarters.

"You go, I will buy you time. Guards! Lead my horse!"

"General! We can still..."

"I am not being a hero. Soldiers have their own jobs, and I have my own job. This is the meaning of this battle. Obey orders! You retreat immediately, and retreat to the fortress immediately after leaving the battle."

The staff officer was puzzled, puzzled, and angry at Isaac's abnormal behavior, but the staff officer did not say anything more. The civilian staff quickly set all the documents on fire and retreated to the rear under the cover of the soldiers.

And Isaac, with a dozen guards, got on the horse.

At this time, the barricades at the entrance of the headquarters had been pushed away, and the cavalry led by Viola rushed in with the sound of horse hooves like thunder.

Isaac looked at her, his expression was still calm, but his hand holding the gun was bulging with blue veins.

With less than 50,000 men attacking a fortress guarded by 100,000 elite soldiers, and with no favorable conditions, how could Isaac not know that he would lose the battle?

He knew, and even wanted to lose, because he knew better the character of the Avarus royal family, who was always on the edge of trouble.

Only when chasing the defeated soldiers did Isaac have the opportunity to meet Viola face to face.

"Your Highness, no, Your Majesty the Regent, I, Isaac, in accordance with the ancient rules of chivalry, ask you for a one-on-one duel!"

He shouted loudly at Viola who was charging, and Viola did slow down her horse's pace.

As Isaac expected, Viola would never refuse a duel between knights.
