Blood Dragon

Chapter 350 Chapter Nine Decisive Battle 3

However, this also made Ashuruffat's painstakingly prepared counterattack aborted.In the tug-of-war just now, the troops he painstakingly assembled in the retreat not only suffered heavy casualties, but were also exhausted in the fierce battle.To make matters worse, for this reason, the legions of Chaos have also gathered.

Even Belair thought the original plan for a counterattack—to use the cover of night to concentrate forces in retreat, and then launch a sudden onslaught at dawn to crush the enemy in one fell swoop—was hopeless.

They can only hope that the Chaos Legion will give up the battle due to exhaustion in this protracted battle.But the Chaos Legion never gave up the fight.They displayed incredible tenacity, and their commander mercilessly urged his men, as if trying to squeeze the last of their strength.Not even the Chaos Wizards would rest.Because of the fierce battle during the day, the current Chaos Wizards are all exhausted.But as soon as they regained even a sliver of energy, they would attack with magic.

Every so often, a spell flew over the heads of the coalition forces.A fireball or a lightning bolt can cause casualties on the one hand, and on the other hand point out the direction for the Chaos Warriors to attack.

The trudging in the dark—they had trudged in the rain for a day and a night before—drained both sides.Even the Chaos Legion is exhausted.But they are still persisting, because they also know that victory is already like a fruit on a branch, and they can get it by stretching their hands a little longer.

Ashurfat was with Belair—they were together now after the midnight fight, and they were in the rear.His gaze pierced the darkness as his army retreated.There were only two of them, both standing on the ground with the horse's bridle on their arms.Ashurfat was using his dark vision to watch the entire battlefield, hoping to find a chance, but Belle didn't know what he was looking at.

In the endless darkness, the sound of shouts, fighting, and guns sounded from time to time.

"The Chaos Legion will not retreat." Beler finally said. "Although they are very tired and exhausted, they also know... our army is even more tired and exhausted."

"Yeah." Ashuruffat replied blankly.He seemed indifferent to this great tragedy.

"When dawn comes, everything is irreversible. I am very grateful for the darkness now. With its cover, our army can survive for the time being."

"Yeah." Ashuruffat said.He was desperate to find that this battle had no chance, but the desire to end this tragedy was still lingering in his mind. "Your Excellency Belle, we... do you have any other ideas?"

"This is not an ordinary defeat," Baylor said. "An ordinary defeat means that the army loses between [-]% and [-]%... But this time, I am afraid that few people in our army will be able to retreat back to the city alive."

He was telling the truth.Don't look at the fact that the coalition forces have not yet failed at this moment - they can still retreat in a certain order at the moment, which means that they have not yet been defeated.Even if it is a defeat, it is only a small defeat—but in fact it is as fragile as a candle in the wind, and it only needs to be blown with a little force, and it will be extinguished.

This is by no means an exaggeration.It is not orders, not initiative, but an instinctive inertia that drives the tired and numb soldiers.If they realize that they have been defeated, perhaps the instinctive inertial forces that support their actions will also be exhausted, and they will fall down like a log, and they will not even be able to escape.

But the Chaos Legion still has the strength to support them-the spiritual strength, and that is the fact that they are about to win.Of course there are other things, such as religion.

This army is almost the entire army of this country.If he fails, it means that the country is as helpless as a weak baby, at the mercy of others.That's right, there may be some troops in Gaohua City... There are also some scattered forces in other places, but Ash Rufat believes that no city can withstand such a large Chaos army, especially with so many Chaos wizards .

If these Chaos wizards gathered together, maybe just relying on the power of magic would be enough to knock down the city walls.

"Well, I believe so." Ashuruffat said.He suddenly realized that deploying defenses on the river was an extremely stupid gamble, because if he won, he would only get a little defensive enhancement from Gaohua City behind, and if he lost...then it would be the current ending.The risks you pay are not directly proportional to the results you get.

He never seemed to have made such a stupid bet.

Belle was silent and didn't speak for a long time.Suddenly, he seemed to wake up from contemplation.

"Ashrufat, where did your flag come from?" Bellel asked.He seemed to have forgotten the situation at this moment, and instead brought up a completely unrelated topic. "That... a flag with a red dragon pattern on it. This pattern... is not common."

Ashurfat originally wanted to say that the flag appeared in his dream.In those chaotic dreams, in those endless killings and battles, he always stood under this banner.But Ashurfat didn't want to tell others this secret. "It was given by Her Majesty the Queen. When she canonized me as a knight, she also gave me this pattern as my family crest... I put it on the flag."

"Given by the queen... there should be multiple designs for you to choose from?" Belair smiled. "Ashrufat, I have seen this flag before." He whispered. "In Sylvania, this flag was flying among the undead army of vampires. At that time, I was the general... the deputy general of Ryan's army."

Ashurfat didn't answer.

"Actually, this pattern is not uncommon." Baylor suddenly smiled. "Actually, when I was the governor of Mill City, I also studied heraldry for a while. Even in Ryan, this pattern is not unique to vampires... Well, I think it's just a coincidence."

He looked at Ashurfat, "Your Excellency, do you want to ask me why I mentioned this matter? It's actually very simple. This pattern reminds me of vampires... and the Battle of Kalyan." He said softly.

"Kalian?" Ashuruffat repeated the word once.When he said this word, he realized that he had an inexplicable familiarity with this word.

"Yes, the battle in the desert...Ah, in fact, many people know that in that war, I suffered several defeats...Actually, 'failure' is just a euphemism. To be honest, I was defeated in the desert. Defeated by Kaleian's vampires... To put it bluntly, the desert is a very suitable battlefield for vampires, because they don't need food and water, and they don't get tired. Humans are completely incomparable... So once Defeated in the desert, the human army has no chance of escape." Beler said. "Defeat means the annihilation of the entire army. I only escaped with the blessing of the gods."

He added the last sentence casually. "It's very similar to the situation in front of me."

"But you won that battle." Ashuruffat said.He also knows a thing or two about Baylor's record.

"Well, the last battle was won. I persisted and barely resisted the increasingly fierce attacks of the vampires. Although I had no hope of winning, I still persisted... Then, at a critical moment, reinforcements came ...Ha, I won the decisive battle... Actually, it was not a victory, but anyway, after killing two or three hundred vampires, everyone praised me with the most exaggerated words, and called me a 'vampire' Killer' or something. I'm really just lucky, really."

"But this time is different. Back then, you had reinforcements, but this time, we didn't."

Baylor suddenly turned to look at Ashuruffat.Although the night is very dark, the two sides are very close after all, and they can see each other clearly.

"On the battlefield of life and death, what can keep me fighting is that I believe in my luck." Baylor said. "I am a very lucky person, don't look at me like this, but I have never been seriously injured until now... This time, I will lend you my luck." He paused. "Do you believe in luck?"

"I believe it." Ashuruffat hesitated for a moment before replying. "I was able to survive until now... If it's not luck, then what is it?"

"Very well, both of us are lucky people." Baylor smiled.He looked up at the sky, and there was already a faint light in the east at this time, as if the darkness of the night had been slightly torn open.However, there is still a long time before dawn in the true sense. "Any thoughts?"

"The last counterattack." Ashuruffat said. "I have the last of... my guard. Intact."

"Well," Baylor said, his guards had suffered heavy losses in previous battles and had lost their combat effectiveness. "Baranca's side... well, if we try our best, we should be able to gather 200 people." He chuckled lightly. "Two hundred people, to attack an army of one hundred thousand."

"Dawn." Ashuruffat said.

"Last chance." Baylor agreed. "When dawn dawns, the Chaos Legion will find that some scattered troops of ours are mixed among them. At this time, they will inevitably besiege and destroy those who are left behind... This will lead to chaos and internal command failure... in a short time. "

"...If a surprise attack is launched at this time, even a small army may break through the periphery and directly kill the enemy's main general. Of course, it is only possible." Baylor shook his head. "But you have to know that the chance of this matter is like throwing ten dice at random, and each dice is six."

"A small chance is better than no chance," Ashuruffat replied.

"Persist until noon tomorrow, and there will be hope." Baylor said suddenly.

"Tomorrow afternoon?"

"I sent people to Gaohua City to ask for reinforcements. If it is the fastest, we can get reinforcements at noon tomorrow." Baylor said hard.Even he knew that it would be too difficult to last till noon tomorrow.

The night is always an ally of the weak, and this time is no exception.Because of the night, the Chaos Legion could only follow and bite, but they couldn't launch a real large-scale offensive, and they couldn't defeat and destroy the enemy.But as soon as the night passed, things would be completely reversed.

"It should be able to hold on." Belleil whispered to himself.

Ashurfat smiled inwardly.Belair doesn't have his dark vision, so many things can only be guessed.So he didn't know why the Chaos Cavalry didn't appear in the entire field battle, as if they didn't participate in the pursuit battle at all.But Ashurfat had already seen that the Chaos Legion had put the cavalry behind to preserve their strength, and after dawn, they would launch a real attack.On the coalition side, there is no longer any force that can stop this cavalry.
