Granny looked at Roland guiltily and asked in a low voice, "You won't scold me for being cowardly, will you?"
"Of course not. If you can't beat me and you still fight hard, there's something wrong with your brain. You did it very smartly."
Granny nodded quickly, "Right, I also think I'm very smart. Anyway, I couldn't beat him, so I ran as fast as I could. It kept chasing behind me, but I always felt that its reaction was always dull. I just happened to see someone. I ran into the cave, and it chased me in and got stuck."
stuck?
Roland was speechless. As expected, there were surprises everywhere on the battlefield.
"When I saw it stuck, I immediately hit it hard with my giant sword, which seemed to have hit a key part. Then it broke, so I brought the energy core back."
As expected of you, you also know how to bring the energy core back.
Roland was about to praise Granny when he suddenly felt something was wrong and asked with a bit of surprise: "How do you know that is the energy core?"
"Ah? You said that energy conversion will cause loss and heat. I touched it and took back the hottest part. Isn't it right?"
"Yes, that's right."
Roland stared curiously at Granny's eyes, which were as pure as ever, with no trace of physics at all.
As expected of a lieutenant general, he did it crookedly.
After saying a few words of relief, Roland saw dozens of guards running towards the mountain, so he and Granny lurked on both sides of the road.
This is an ambush battle without any suspense.
Although Chano has fourth-level combat power, his combat experience is mediocre, and the other guards' combat power is even worse. Granny can complete the harvest by herself.
After killing most of the guards and leaving three goblins who looked neatly dressed, Roland began to interrogate.
The interrogation went smoothly, and Roland got the answer he wanted.
Chano acted effectively and allowed the Gruul family to "withdraw from the stage of history." Gruul's two wives, three children and more than a dozen side relatives were all killed, and no one escaped.
"Thank you, you can be on your way."
Roland's expression remained normal, and he stretched out his hand and gently touched the guard's head.
Without any pain, the guard closed his eyes.
This kind of high-end game is not what they should participate in, and it is time to withdraw.
When Roland and Woma reunited, the nervous counselor finally relaxed.
Seeing his anxious expression, Roland sighed in his heart. He promised the Womalliu Gruul family a way out, but Levi didn't agree.
He is not so kind as to risk his life to rescue the enemy's family.
After thinking for a while, he felt that this matter should not be hidden from Woma, so he simply told the story about Levi sending people to kill Gruul's family.
Woma's body trembled slightly, and her eyes turned red.
He knelt on the ground and beat the ground hard, tears rolling down his cheeks.
After a long time, he finally stood up and said in a deep voice: "Thank you, sir, for telling me the truth. These damn goblins and I will fight to the death. I must avenge Master Gruul!"
"I'm sorry, given the situation at that time, I really didn't have the energy to rescue Gruul's family."
"Your Majesty, you are serious. You have already been merciful by not attacking Gruul's family directly. How dare you ask you to take risks again? This is their fate."
Woma gradually calmed down, just biting her lip, her eyes still burning.
Seeing that Woma was so sensible, Roland's opinion of him was a little higher. He asked loudly:
"Levi and Gruul are both dead, and the enemy has lost unified command. Do you have any ideas?"
Woma thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Can you trust me completely?"
"of course."
"I want to go to Gruul Castle and gather the remnants of the army. I will tell them that these meteors are natural disasters and a natural punishment for Master Gruul's betrayal. I will gather them to resist the goblin invasion!"
"This is too risky, I'm going with you!"
Seeing Woma's firm refusal, Roland frowned and whispered: "At least let Granny be your guard."
"No, I have to go by myself. If they see that I have surrendered to you, they will probably not be able to accept it."
Woma said categorically: "Sir, everyone has something they must do. It is the same for you to attack Levi single-handedly, and it is the same for me to recruit the remnants of Gruul's army."
"The war between humans and goblins is a racial war. You and Count Gruul are in conflict within the human race. They must be able to figure it out."
Woma's attitude was so resolute that Roland couldn't say anything. He just handed him two instant magic scrolls in the hope of saving his life when he was in danger.
Roland knew full well that Woma went to Gruul Castle with the purpose of recruiting the remnants of the army. He also wanted to know personally the cause of Gruul's death and the situation of his family.
If Gruul's family had slipped through the cracks, he would have found a way to protect it.
Roland didn't care about this.
His enemies are powerful men from the Tiamat plane, and even gods in the sky.If the accumulation of 250 five reincarnations is not enough to defeat the orphans of the Gruul family, then it is better to commit suicide as soon as possible.
He should and must be a strong man standing at the pinnacle of this era.
A cold light flashed in Roland's eyes, he raised his scepter again, announced the good news of victory to the team of 2000 people, and then led them back to the southern border of Gruul Province.
Seeing Roland declare victory first and then order to retreat, Granny was a little confused.
She thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out, so she had to approach Roland and ask.
Roland did not answer, but asked: "Have you thought about it?"
"I thought about it, but I think it might not be right."
Granny pulled her hair together in embarrassment and said with a smile: "I thought you thought you couldn't defeat the aggressive goblin army seeking revenge, so you retreated."
Roland turned and looked at Granny, his eyes as clear as water.
He patted Granny's shoulder in surprise and nodded approvingly.
"You're right, we can't defeat them. A sneak attack and harassment by 2000 people is okay, but charging directly into the military camp of a 20-strong army is asking for death."
Granny's expression was extremely wonderful. She looked at Roland blankly, her mind in confusion.
Looking at Granny's dull eyes, Roland said seriously: "Retreating is more difficult than attacking. Anyone in Tongfeng Bureau can rush in with a machete to cut grass, but it is not easy to maintain military appearance and morale when retreating."
Previously, Roland led two thousand cavalry forward with great momentum. Everyone's morale was high and they didn't know what fear was. No matter how many people on the opposite side dared to charge.
Once they retreated, the soldiers calmed down and were shocked to find that there were only 2000 people around them.
It's impossible not to retreat. You can't really expect 2000 people to kill 20.
After all, those are 20 armed soldiers, not 20 pigs.
Although Roland is not a famous general, he knows basic military knowledge very well.
Granny suddenly understood and showed an "I understand" expression.
"I understand. This was also the case when tribes were hunting in the past. When encountering a powerful monster, it is very difficult to retreat. Once you turn your back on the monster and run away, you will definitely be overtaken and suffer heavy losses."
"We must face the monsters, fight and retreat at the same time, and the formation cannot be broken up."
Roland clapped his hands vigorously and praised Granny.
"You are such a genius!"
Although Granny is like a chicken when it comes to mathematics, she can often shine with some sparks of wisdom as long as it doesn't involve data calculations.
Not much, but enough.
Roland gathered his troops and retreated alternately with battalions as units.
Just as the goblin army was preparing to attack, he retreated to the southern border of Gruul Province, as if nothing had happened.
Except for Levi and Gruul dying, everything is back to square one.
One day later, Yanis, who was marching in a hurry, finally arrived at the battlefield with a large army.
Seeing Roland staying at the border of Gruul Province, Yanis "suddenly realized" that Roland was also afraid and did not dare to lead 2000 people to behead him.
She didn't think this was a bad thing, and was pleased with Roland's rationality. She smiled and said: "Being able to accurately judge the situation is a necessary quality for a famous general. I am very happy that you can recognize this."
"How's the battle going?"
Agnes's eyes were as soft as water, full of tender relief for Roland.
However, Roland's next words almost made her fall off her horse.
"The enemy generals Levi and Gruul have been killed by me!"
Yanis: "..."
"Aren't you kidding me? I mean, how did you do that?"
Of course Roland wouldn't joke about this kind of thing, and Yanis was even more curious. She really couldn't imagine such a miracle.
Roland smiled and didn't answer. Granny coughed lightly and started playing for him.
When she heard that Roland and Granny left the army to ambush, Yanis's smile disappeared.
Just when Roland thought that Yanis would praise her with exaggeration and excitement, she said coldly: "Private Roland, come out!"
Chapter 118 Yani satirizes Roland for admonishing her
Although Roland was not a first-class soldier, he was still intimidated by Agnes's fierce aura. He subconsciously turned over and dismounted, and stood at attention to salute her.
After saluting, he remembered that he was now commanding the First Guards Regiment and was a noble commander, so he teased half-jokingly:
"Don't talk nonsense, we are now a group leader after all."
Seeing his playful smile, Yanis was almost amused, but she still controlled her emotions and said quietly with a straight face:
"Roland, have you ever thought about how many people will be buried with you if you die in battle? You have no chance of resurrection, so you shouldn't take such a risk."
Roland knew that Yanis was worried about his safety, so he could only explain in a low voice: "I am very careful. If the situation goes wrong, I will run away..."
"Mr. Levi thinks so too, right? He is protected by two puppet guards, one of which is a professional [rescue] guard. How could he die?"
Yanis sighed softly and said faintly: "Think about it, if you die in the battle, I can go back to the palace and live a life with my tail between my legs. At worst, I will not be a patriarch in this life, and will be suppressed by other saints. But Mei Where’s Lanise?”
Roland's expression froze.
"Do you want her to be buried for you or marry someone else?"
"do not talk!"
Roland looked ugly.
Seeing that Roland's soul was severely hit, Agnes relaxed a little and said softly:
"Roland, we need your fighting power and your morale on the battlefield. But before the final battle, don't take such unnecessary risks."
"When the decisive battle comes, I hope you will fight side by side with me and live and die together. If you die then, at least you will die with honor. If you are trampled to death by a goblin machine, what does that mean?"
"I understand, thank you for the criticism." Although he felt unhappy, Roland couldn't find the words to refute, so he had no choice but to spread his hands like a bear and accepted Agnes's advice.
Of course he wanted to listen to Agnes's opinion.
She gave up the bright future of the Holy Palace and came to hang out with him, so he had the obligation to take her to a higher place.
Seeing that Roland was obedient, Granny also echoed: "Master, Miss Yanis is right. From now on, leave this kind of work that requires charging into battle to me."
"Same to you! Private Granny!"
Yanis said angrily: "You will have a chance to kill someone during the decisive battle, but you are not allowed to take risks before that!"
Although Granny was a little unconvinced, seeing that Roland was as well-behaved as a little sheep, she didn't dare to refute. She stood beside Roland with her head lowered, like a primary school student being scolded by the teacher with a pointer.
Seeing that Roland and Granny were obedient, Yanis said with a smile: "Okay, now that I'm done with the unpleasant things to say, it's time for praise. You've done a great job. I'll definitely eat these 20 goblins!"
Agnes quickly thought of a battle plan.
The reason why the goblin army did not collapse due to Levi's death was probably because the enemy general did not mourn and concealed the facts.
As long as Levi's head is escorted to the front of the two armies, the lie can be exposed.
Even if the enemy doesn't hide anything, the death of the coach will greatly weaken morale.
No matter what, the change in morale brought about by killing the enemy's boss is huge.
3 human elites fight against 20 demoralized goblins. The combat power is not much different. As long as they are commanded properly, they have a high chance of victory.
Agniss skillfully sent out scouts to collect intelligence, and then led the troops slowly northward.
Early the next morning, Woma finally returned after gathering his remaining soldiers.
