The two armies had only been in contact for a few minutes, and the outcome of the battle was already apparent. As the Demons were the vanguard, more than half of them were cavalry. Unfortunately, the two armies were too close to each other, and the commander, Morkens, had not adjusted his infantry well enough. As a result, there was no distance for the cavalry to charge. Once they got close to the Demons, the Human army's advantage in numbers became apparent. The ratio of the two armies was 1: 9, and the Demons could not possibly fight against nine of them alone. Moreover, the Human army was the elite second legion, which was made up of elite soldiers from the battlefield. They were not afraid of the Demons' army.
Under the command of the generals, the Human army advanced with heavy infantry in the middle, archers at the back, and spears at the sides, compressing the Demons in the middle. In just ten minutes, the Demons had been pushed back 100 meters, and they were still being pushed back. Behind them was the Blazing Sentry Post, which was still burning. The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and they had just started it themselves.
The Human army stepped on the corpses and advanced steadily. The situation on the Demons' side was getting worse. What was worse was that they had no one to command them, because the commander had gone to fight the enemy alone. The deputy commander was separated and could not rush back to the main army. There were still a few generals left in the team, but they could only stabilize their troops and continue to resist. They did not know how to get out of this situation.
On Ames' side, he was now more and more impressed with the Minotaur General. This guy was already covered in blood. This wasn't because his attacks had hit his opponent, but because his opponent's martial arts were extremely exquisite. Under such circumstances, he was still able to receive each of his attacks. However, because his body couldn't take it anymore, even if he wasn't directly hit by the hammer, just blocking the attacks was enough to cause him internal injuries.
Morkens was now covered in blood. The muscles all over his body had collapsed, and he was bleeding everywhere. His face was basically bleeding from all seven of his orifices. He could only stand on the ground by holding his hammer tightly in his right hand. However, he still did not collapse.
"General … This is bad … Our troops are retreating …" Suddenly, Mokens' deputy general appeared behind Mokens. He was also covered in blood, and there were a few arrows stuck in his body. He had already tried to rush past the human troops to join up with his own troops, but he really couldn't. Seeing his soldiers falling one by one, he became anxious and could only look for Mokens again.
"Retreat …" Morkens said with difficulty. Not only was it difficult for his body to even speak, but his pride did not allow him to casually say the word "retreat". Unfortunately, defeat was already decided, and there was nothing he could do to reverse the situation.
"The human army has separated us from the army. I can't go back to pass on the order." The deputy general immediately said.
"Jump, I'll hit you back," Morkens immediately said.
"What?!" The Deputy General was stunned for a moment before he understood Mokens' words. He nodded his head and rushed towards Mokens. When they were a few meters apart, the Deputy General leapt up and stomped his right foot towards Mokens.
"Go!" Mokens used the rest of his strength to swing his iron rod, and then smashed the sole of the Deputy General's foot with his hammer.
"Crack!" The sound of bones breaking could be heard. The Deputy General's right foot couldn't withstand such a huge impact and shattered into pieces. His entire right leg exploded like popcorn, and blood splattered everywhere. However, with the impact, the Deputy General who was about to press down on the Demons seemed to be flying. With a "swoosh", he flew towards the opposite Demons, leaving a long trail of blood in the air.
Fortunately, they were in the middle of a battle. All the Demons had their spears pointed in front of them, so the Deputy General wouldn't be stabbed to death by his own people. As they were separated by the human troops, the soldiers below didn't know that the Deputy General had flown over. They didn't even prepare to receive him. A few unlucky Demons were unfortunately hit by the Deputy General. The Deputy General used his body as a cushion to cushion the impact.
"General? Why are you here? "When the soldiers below saw that the one who hit him was actually his Deputy General, they immediately helped him up and asked.
"General Mokens' order … Retreat … Retreat …" The Deputy General was already injured. After receiving such a blow, he only had time to finish Mokens' order before he fainted.
"General's order! Retreat! Retreat! " The soldiers next to him wanted to run. Now that they heard the Deputy General's words, they immediately shouted to their surroundings.
"Retreat! Everyone, run! " The Demons were already panicking. Now that they heard the order to retreat, the Demons who were being massacred by the human troops immediately abandoned the battle line and ran back. The soldiers at the front began to run. When the soldiers at the back saw that the human troops had overtaken them, they also ran. In an instant, the retreat turned into a rout. The Demons almost collapsed instantly.
"Don't run! Hold the front line! Let the people at the back retreat first! Don't run! " The general of the Demons on this side immediately tried to stabilize the soldiers. Unfortunately, it was useless for him to say anything now. The human troops also saw the situation on the opposite side and immediately accelerated forward. A few slightly smarter Demons ran back with the troops. A few more stupid ones still stood in place, ready to stabilize the situation. After a few seconds, they were trampled to pieces by the human troops who caught up.
On Ames' side, after Mokens sent his Deputy General back with the last blow with all his strength, his body couldn't take it anymore. He finally fell to the ground uncontrollably. He wanted to stand up and continue fighting, but his body didn't respond to him. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stand up.
He could clearly hear the screams of the Demons behind him as they were killed by the humans. Although he couldn't see the situation of his troops now, he knew that he had lost, and it should be a very ugly defeat.
Although Ames had won, he was also exhausted. When he saw Mokens fall, his nerves tensed up. Fortunately, he was still on his horse, so he didn't fall to the ground directly. He really couldn't hold the hammer in his hand anymore, and it fell to the ground with a clang. However, he still had some strength in his hand. He climbed down from his horse, pulled out the one-handed sword at his waist, and walked to the side of Mokens, who was lying on the ground.
"I won …" Ames said condescendingly, "You are an admirable orc warrior. Let me ask you, are you willing to surrender?"
Although Mokens was the general of the Demons, he was an orc. In fact, the relationship between humans and orcs was still somewhat good. Although they were hostile forces, they didn't fight each other. The avatar could also be chosen when the time came. However, Mokens refused without even thinking about it.
He lay on the ground and said, "Don't insult me. I won't surrender, and I don't want to be captured. I've lost this time. You are a powerful human warrior, and I admit that I lost to you. Please send me on my last journey. This is my last request."
"Is that so …" Ames nodded. "Sorry, everyone has their own masters on the battlefield. Please don't blame me. Goodbye, orc warrior."
"I have no complaints about being able to fight you. Come on!" Mokens roared.
With the sound of flesh being penetrated, Mokens' body arched for a moment before collapsing powerlessly. Darkness engulfed him, and Mokens finally closed his eyes.
"Enemy General Mokens! Slain by me, Ames Acheron! "Ames held up Mokens' head (bull's head?). Ames raised Mokens' head (bull's head?) and shouted at everyone.
"Oh! Oh! Oh! " In an instant, the morale of all the soldiers rose. The enemy's general had been beheaded, and the enemy troops were retreating. Now that the outcome had been decided, it was time to snatch credit. Although the chief merit was gone, chopping off a few heads was still a great merit. At this time, these Demons who were turning to flee had become money in the eyes of the human soldiers. Killing one was equivalent to a bag of money, so the human soldiers killed even more merrily.
Just as the human soldiers were about to go up and harvest the heads in exchange for military merit, the sound of gongs suddenly came from the direction of the main camp behind them.
Everyone knew that sounding the gongs meant a retreat, but why now? The Demons were in a state of defeat now, and they could easily chase and kill them all. Why did they take advantage of the situation to attack?
Ames was also stunned. He was still holding Morkens' head. Why did they suddenly retreat? He could not figure it out at all. Ames did not have a good temper either. He hung Mokens' head on his waist, jumped on his horse, and galloped toward the main camp.
As the soldiers had just watched Ames kill the enemy general in a duel, they knew that he was on their side, so they did not stop him. Mokens rushed all the way to the front of Li Huailin's guards. At this time, Li Huailin was flirting with Veronica, who was next to him. As the princess had already flirted with him, Li Huailin also flirted with Veronica, who was next to him.
"Marshal! Why did you suddenly retreat? I've already beheaded the enemy general, and his head is right here. Why didn't you pursue the remaining troops? "Ames immediately asked solemnly.
"Ah, don't scare me with this bloody thing. I'm not an educated person, so don't scare me …" Li Huailin said with a smile. "I've never liked to kill people with one blow. Look at you, you've gone too far …"
"Huh?" Ames looked at Li Huailin in surprise. Was there a reason not to kill people with one blow on the battlefield? What kind of theory was that? Did this person know how to fight? If he said he did, I don't even understand what he's saying. If he said he didn't, the 10,000 Demons' army was wiped out in his hands. This was the battle with the highest casualties for the Demons since the start of the war.
"Okay, okay, we're running out of time. Inform the team to return to camp immediately," Li Huailin said with a wave of his hand.
