Bang!!
A loud bang resounded through the sky. The originally frozen city gate was suddenly opened. Countless angry Eagle Regiment soldiers rushed out in a single file. They roared and charged toward the opposite mountainside.
Of course they were furious. Once people realized they had been played, they would be furious. When the scouts found that there were less than twenty thousand enemies left and brought the news back, the soldiers defending the city were so angry that their faces were twisted. They had been in a state of anxiety and fear all this time, only to find that there was no danger ahead. The enemy was just a paper tiger.
Thus, after confirming that there was no ambush, the furious Eagle Regiment decided to teach the Empire's lackeys a lesson.
Rumble rumble!
Loud footsteps rang out. The soldiers on the mountain had long since seen this scene.
"The enemy is here! Deputy General Yass! "
Within the camp, the soldier reporting the news knelt in front of an officer with a mustache. He was Deputy General Yass, a somewhat famous officer who had once been General Booth's deputy.
"I see them."
He gazed at the approaching army without a trace of emotion in his eyes.
"Then should we retreat according to plan?"
"No, have everyone prepare to meet the enemy."
Deputy General Yass calmly said, causing his subordinate to be shocked. He raised his head and said solemnly, "But! My lord! The enemy outnumbers us by three to one. If we face them head on, it will be very disadvantageous for us. Besides, the enemy general is … "
The soldier abruptly stopped mid-sentence. He couldn't continue. He was once Booth's subordinate, just like the deputy general. It wasn't just the two of them. More than half of the troops stationed here were. When they received the leaflets, the papers that said General Booth had surrendered to the Eagle Regiment, they didn't feel anger, but guilt. They didn't believe that the general would do such a thing.
At this moment, Yass was sure of one thing, and that was that the enemy was lying. Booth couldn't have led such an army. They came out in a single file without any formation or effective command. They were like a group of robbers. This was the Eagle Regiment's fighting style, not General Booth's! He hadn't betrayed the Empire!
Thus, he had to stay and prove this.
"All troops! Defend the camp to the death! "
With the terrain advantage, the imperial army immediately launched a counterattack. The position of the hillside was very good. The enemy's arrows were easily blocked by the obstacles, and their own arrows could hit the enemy if they were not careful. It took a lot of effort for the enemy to climb up. The only thing they had to do while standing on top was to prevent the enemy from approaching.
The battle became a stalemate, and the attacking Eagle Regiment soldiers' morale was dampened. Faced with the enemy's rain of arrows, they slowly fell into a disadvantage. Slowly, this turned into a hilarious attack.
Raas was also there. He didn't know how to shoot arrows, nor did he know how to use long-range magic. The only thing he could do was to lift a large rock as much as possible and throw it down. This was very useful. Even if it didn't hit the enemy's head, it could still stop them from moving forward if it hit their feet.
The soldiers who stayed behind in the camp were very excited. They knew that this was a battle where they were outnumbered, but no one retreated. Everyone was fighting a bloody battle.
"Kill!"
"Don't let them come up!"
The strong soldiers stood at the front and used their bodies and shields to block the enemy's attacks. They pushed the enemy down with all their might. This became a duel of strength. The archers shot arrows with all their might, and the magicians cast spells with all their might.
However, human strength was not infinite. The arrows would eventually run out, and the magicians would also run out of magic.
Soon, the disadvantage of the number of enemies was revealed. The enemy was still rushing up in an endless stream. They could only rush forward because their backs were the spearheads and swords of their own people. If they stopped, they might be injured by their own people. If they wanted to live, they could only run forward with all their might. Other than that, the rewards of the Eagle Regiment were very simple. Every time they killed a person, they would be promoted. The higher the level, the more rewards and land they would receive. The personal position would also be further back.
As long as they reached the level of a centurion, as long as they were not completely wiped out, they would almost never die. After they were discharged, the rewards and land they received were enough to let them marry the most beautiful girl in the village and live lavishly for the rest of their lives.
However, no one had ever calculated the number of centurions, nor did they calculate the total amount of land they could get. In fact, in theory, the area of their reward had already exceeded the total area of the Kalis Empire. It was even half the size of the Dragon Boat Empire. However, no one had ever calculated it, so no one knew.
The enemy broke through the first line of defense, and a chaotic battle began. In the battle, the soldiers only knew how to kill people who were not dressed like them. They did not even know where they were.
The well-trained imperial soldiers resisted tenaciously. Even though the enemy was outnumbered, they still made the enemy pay a heavy price.
This was a battle where there were no winners. Whether it was the Eagle Regiment or the imperial soldiers, there were many casualties.
Raas was among them. He was lucky to survive. Perhaps it was because the soldiers took care of him and let him stand at the back of the line. In the end, he also killed a few enemies, but there were too many enemies. He could feel that there was nothing he could do.
"Go! Kid, go! "
At this moment, a soldier uncle shouted at Raas.
"You're still young. You don't have to die here. Go! Don't let them catch you. They will cut your head off and sell it for money. Run, run into the forest and go to the main force. Go and tell the lord the news. This is an order. "
Raas could not tell north from south. Enemies and allies were intertwined. He was panting, and his body was full of blood. It was the blood of the enemy.
He took a step and walked in a direction, but he was pushed by someone.
"The enemy is here! Over there! Retreat! "
The frightened Raas immediately changed direction. He heard the sound of swords whistling in his ears. It was very close, but he did not stop. He just took heavy steps and ran into the forest.
The Empire was defeated. The Eagle Regiment would not leave anyone alive, so there were only two choices. Either fight to the end or run.
There were many people who ran. They threw down their weapons and took off their armor. Compared to the soldiers who were still fighting, they were cowards.
Raas was the same. At least he thought so. Stepping into the deep snow, he ran forward with all his might. There was a whistling sound behind his ears. His instinct from his training as an assassin made him tilt his head. A white-feathered arrow flew past his face. He felt a sharp pain on his face, and then a warm liquid flowed out.
He did not think too much and continued to run forward. There were companions in front of him, and there were soldiers wearing the same clothes as him. If he followed them, he would live …
