Chapter 468 The end of the war
Troubled.

Under Escal's order, the main force of the empire rushed back to the city of black gold with all its might.

It wasn't until about an hour passed that Escal was relieved when he could no longer see the dynastic army behind him, but he didn't immediately slow down the army.

Because they haven't returned to the city of black gold.

For Escal, the only place where they can feel safe is the City of Black Gold.

As long as he can get rid of Veigar's chasing troops and return to the city of black gold, he can continue to play a protracted war with Veigar with his current strength. After all, he only lost about [-] vanguard troops in this battle.

"Almost, almost impossible to turn back."

Escal still has lingering fears. He really didn't expect that his smooth plan would have such a big mistake. If he didn't run fast this time, it might be a problem whether he can come back alive.

However, there are two mysteries that Eskar still does not understand.

The reason for the defeat in this battle was of course the queen, but it would take a month for the queen to come all the way from the east coast, so Vega couldn't have foreseen today's scene a month ago, right? ?

Moreover, he has not received any news about the big event that the Queen left Saint Laurent without permission and came to the West Bank.

But don't talk about lies, even the slightest clues have not been revealed.

Only these two points, Escal absolutely does not believe.

After all, Veigar is a human being rather than a god. It was unrealistic to predict today's ending a month ago.Moreover, Shia is a living person, and she is also a noble queen. It's okay to hide in the army for a day or two, and she will be discovered after a long time.

In fact, it wasn't Escal's fault either.

After all, even Vega, the military commander in chief of the dynasty, was taken aback by Shia's appearance, so isn't it natural that Escal, the general of the empire, didn't know about Shia's arrival until today?

If you can't figure it out, you don't want to.

Escal didn't bother with this issue anymore, but his fear of Veigar grew a little bit more in his heart. At the same time, he no longer dared to underestimate Veigar's personal command ability. He really lost this battle and had nothing to say.

Of course, there is just nothing to say.

After all, there were still some loopholes in this battle. If he and Veigar were to switch positions, he would set up an ambush to ambush himself on the way to retreat.Although a large number of ambushes have the risk of being discovered, but if no ambush is set up, it will be nothing.

Or did he waste so much effort just to swallow his [-] vanguards?

"It's still too young after all."

Fortunately, after saying this, Escal ordered the whole army to continue to speed up and rush back to the city of black gold.

He had secretly made up his mind that when he returned to the Black Gold City, he would not be able to hold on. Even if the enemy's morale was irretrievably low, he would never step out of the Black Gold City again.

Winners die of desire, losers die of despair.

He has also heard this sentence recently, and this time his failure was largely due to his superstitious belief in his own plan, and at the same time, as a general, his desire for victory.

time flies.

Due to the difficulty of marching at night, they had to rely on the lighting skills of the magician of the word spirit to find out the way forward, so the imperial army did not come near the city of black gold until dawn when you were chasing and fleeing.

close!

In just half an hour, he could enter the city and make Vega fall short.

But at this moment, the marching team suddenly stopped.

This made Eskar's heart sink for no reason, and he yelled at the adjutant: "What happened, why did you stop the advancing team without my order, you don't know that every quarter of an hour at night, the enemies in the rear leave Are we any closer?"

"Referring to, Commander, it's not good!"

At this time, the scouts came to Escal and said: "Black gold, the city of black gold has fallen! The army of the dynasty has already occupied the city, and we can no longer move forward."

"what?"

Escal was shocked.

He hurried to the front line and looked at the city of black gold. Dou Da's cold sweat instantly covered his forehead.

The banners of the dynasty on the tower of the city of black gold covered the sun, and soldiers were waiting in full battle; in the sky of the city of black gold, 50 war airships were cruising back and forth, and when they found their traces, they were already heading towards them.

Also at this time.

The echo of military boots came from behind again.

The sound was earth-shattering, far beyond what tens of thousands of people could make.

Even if Escal didn't need to send out scouts, he could know that Veigar's chasing army must have caught up, and he had completely fallen into Veigar's trap, and he had no way to escape.

"The Imperial Army is coming."

"The city of black gold has fallen."

"Flee, everyone, run away, we have already lost."

"..."

The imperial soldiers shouted in fear.

Under the great fear, the imperial army was reduced to lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and their morale had dropped to freezing point. Because there were wolves in front and tigers in back, they had no way to retreat, which also made it impossible to maintain the basic formation.

In less than twelve hours, the battle has turned upside down.

It wasn't until this time that Eskar understood why Veigar didn't rush to chase them, but hung behind them slowly. It turned out that this was to wear down their morale and physical strength, and at the same time give them hope.

When hope turns to despair.

The already low morale and even the weakened physical strength will become a time bomb, and they will be defeated directly in the end. Now even the orders of his commander-in-chief are not being carried out.

"I was so naive."

Escal's eyes showed deep fear: "It's nonsense that Veigar can be called a devil who plays with people's hearts by the whole kingdom. The degree of control over the details of the war is simply appalling. I am convinced that I lost this battle." oral."

The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in the ant nest.

As a high-ranking general, Escal knew very well that in the field of five-star generals, what could determine the direction of a war was not the gorgeous battle plan, but the control of the details.

He used to feel that he was no different from Veigar.

But at this moment, he felt that there was a gap between him and Veigar that he would never be able to bridge in his entire life.

"Try one last time."

Eskar sighed, and ordered the entire army to turn their guns to Veigar's chasing troops behind.

This is the only way now.

Because it is really unrealistic to siege the city, looking at the neat fortifications of the Black Gold City, it can be inferred that the enemy's defenders have surpassed a division.Under the full defense of a division, it is impossible for a person like him to drive straight into the city of black gold in just half an hour.

Therefore, we can only fight against the chasing troops in the rear.

It's a pity that Escal couldn't even make a trapped beast.

With the participation of Vega's black gold city air force, the death toll soared, and the entire army of the Empire collapsed directly.

After all, Escal overestimated the morale of the army too much.

The defeated army was chased by the enemy all night and was exhausted physically and mentally. If it wasn't for the belief in returning to the city of black gold, how could it be possible to persevere until now.

When hope turned to despair, naturally they couldn't hold on, and the whole army collapsed.

Therefore, when Veigar's chasing army arrived at the scene, some soldiers of the imperial army had put down their weapons and knelt down and surrendered. Under the leadership of these soldiers, the whole army had already raised the white flag.

This pursuit battle ended with Veigar winning without a fight.
