Chapter 703: Harvest of Military Merits, Attacking Badak City

In the center of the army, Weilin looked at the scene thousands of meters away, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

It is really rare to see Kyle being humiliated.

"Sir, the enemy has been defeated." The captain of the guard, Miller, said softly.

Weilin withdrew his gaze and ordered the Thousand Forts Army, which was the rear guard, to press forward.

More than 30,000 people, led by officers, charged towards the Badak Plain with excitement.

The departure of Dobik, the commander of the Eighth Legion of the Western Expeditionary Army of the Kingdom of Geman, caused the morale of tens of thousands of troops to be demoralized. They had no desire to fight anymore and retreated to the rear under the leadership of officers and generals.

Due to the propaganda of the Church of the Beast God, the soldiers who were unable to escape either chose to commit suicide or fight to the death, and only a very small number chose to surrender.

Watching the strange situation on the battlefield, Weilin pondered for a moment and gave an order: "Pass the order down, those who surrender will not be killed."

"Yes, my lord."

Miller beat his chest and saluted, then walked down from the command platform, summoned more than a hundred Knights Templar, and ordered them to go to the various armies to convey military orders.

On the battlefield, Greg led more than 3,000 men from the Fourth Battalion and drove more than 10,000 defeated soldiers to attack the city of Badak.

Because of Doric, most of the army went out of the city to fight in the field. There were only 5,000 people defending Badak City. Together with the adventurers in the city, there were only more than 9,000 people.

As for other troops, most of them are scattered in various small towns and fortresses. They cannot be taken care of in a short period of time, and they cannot be relied upon for a long time.

"My Lord Earl, do you want to let them into the city?" asked a Seven Seal Warrior.

Count Badacco looked at the expressions of the retreating soldiers, then looked at the enemy troops a hundred meters away from the retreating soldiers, and he was unable to make a decision.

There are only 5,000 troops in the city, most of whom are old, weak, sick and disabled, and only 2,000 of them can be called combat soldiers. He is confident that he can hold on to one wall, but if he defends all four walls, Badakko City will surely fall in less than half a day.

"Ed."

"My Lord Count." A Six-Seal Warrior came up to Count Badak and answered loudly.

"Take your troops and gather up the defeated soldiers."

"Yes, my lord."

"Millis."

"Master, please give me your orders." A Seven Seal Warrior stepped forward, his face was old, his temples were gray, and he looked very depressed.

"Listen to my orders later. I'll tell you to close the city gates, and you'll lower the gates."

"Yes."

Looking at the wide-open city gate, the defeated soldiers rushed towards the city gate with joy on their faces.

On the city wall, Count Badacco silently counted the number of people entering the city. When there were still more than 3,000 people outside the city, he decisively gave the order: "Close the city gates."

Hearing this, the white-haired veteran shouted, "Lower the gate."

Upon hearing this, dozens of soldiers drew their swords and chopped the iron chains with all their might.

As the eight iron chains broke, the gate weighing thousands of tons fell down.

More than a hundred defeated soldiers crowded at the entrance of the city gate were smashed into meat paste, and blood flowed out along the stone slabs.

Seeing that his plan had failed and the divine defense barrier of Badak City had risen again, Greg had to wave his hand to stop the army from advancing and slowly retreat.

As for the more than 3,000 people who were abandoned, seeing the enemy retreat and no sign of the city gates being opened, they walked in groups of three or two and ran further back.

On the city wall, Count Badacco watched the scene below and finally gave up the idea of ​​shooting the fleeing soldiers.

On the battlefield, Weilin ordered the Thousand Fort Army to clean up the battlefield and asked the priests to treat the wounded.

Late at night, in the tent, Weilin stared at the twenty-three heads on the open ground. There were thirteen or sixteen heads of seven-seal professionals, five heads of eight-seal professionals, two heads of nine-seal professionals, and three heads of wild beasts, totaling sixty-nine battle merits.

"How do you feel about this battle?" Weilin turned his head to look at Kyle and asked with a smile.

Seeing this, Kyle lowered his head and replied, "I have been a little arrogant recently and underestimated the local strongmen. I will never make a similar mistake again next time."

"Don't worry about it. Everything has its pros and cons." Weilin heard this and comforted him, "A low-level Saint Seal warrior escaped, but it can let the German Kingdom know the reputation of our army. This is also a good thing."

"If you still have anger in your heart, the siege in five days will be yours to command."

"I understand, my Lord."

"Okay, go down and have a good rest."

"Yes."

After Kyle left, Weilin called several guards and asked them to take down the heads and seal them.

Although he had not carefully counted the total number of military merits he had obtained so far, it was definitely around three hundred, and he was getting closer and closer to the title of earl.

"Behind the Geman Kingdom is the Angoya Empire. In this expedition war, I will definitely become the earl of the kingdom."

In the camp, thanks to the efforts of the pastor, the seriously injured people saved their lives and the lightly injured people basically recovered.

Except for the troops on duty in the main camp, all the troops gathered together to listen to the preaching of the pastor of the Life Church to soothe their restless hearts.

On the right side of the camp, more than 2,000 soldiers from the Eighth Legion of the Western Expeditionary Army of the Geman Kingdom were detained here.

In this war, 250,000 enemies were defeated and 60,000 were killed in battle, but only 2,000 were captured. Thousands of them fled into the city of Badak. The remaining 100,000 troops fled into the wilderness and were eventually absorbed by the castles and local towns in the rear.

……

Five days later, Kyle led 50,000 troops of the Thousand Castles and Black Rock Army to the city of Badak.

After five days of forced conscription, the integration of the defeated soldiers, and the withdrawal of garrisons from surrounding towns, there were more than 26,000 garrisons in the city of Badak.

On the city wall, Count Badacco went to the front line in person. Looking at the neatly-organized and high-spirited army below, he felt a little heavy in his heart.

"All troops ready for battle, those who retreat will be killed."

Count Badacco's five hundred personal knights were scattered on the city walls, and with their assigned subordinates, they acted as supervisory teams to prevent the soldiers from escaping without a fight. At the same time, they served as reserve forces to step up at the most critical moment.

Kyle flew into the air, summoned two secondary spears of Putlock's Spear, infused them with his own magic power, and began to accumulate strength, preparing to break through the divine defense barrier of Badak City.

Faced with the terrifying momentum, Count Badak, a Nine-Seal Warrior, felt the boundless breath of destruction. His heart sank to the bottom of the valley. He felt a little desperate and could not help but pray to the God of Beasts, hoping that the divine shield could block the opponent's attack.

Kyle poured most of his magic power into the two secondary spears of Putlock's Spear, then released the spear and let it float in the air.

The next moment, two spears flew out and hit the divine shield.

The terrifying power spread in all directions, shattering the clouds in the sky and causing large-scale weather changes.

As the Spear of Putlock clashed with the divine shield, the entire city of Badak began to shake, a large number of houses collapsed, and countless civilians were crushed under the buildings.

"My lord, the shield has been bitten."

Hearing his subordinates' words, Count Badak looked up, his face changed drastically, and without time to think, he ordered loudly: "Leave the city wall, everyone leave the city wall."

Upon hearing the military order, thousands of soldiers on the city wall had no time to think and scrambled to flee from the city wall. The strong ones jumped directly off the city wall, and the weaker soldiers could only evacuate along the stairs.

Three minutes later, the divine shield shattered, and the two secondary spears of Putlock's Spear, carrying terrifying power, crashed into the city wall.
