Viscount Hogg originally wanted to capture Viscount Walter's castle and then sandwich Ryan's army in the middle. But now it's the other way around, and his army is sandwiched.
"If there are enemies in front and behind, we can't fight armies from both directions at the same time."
Any noble who has participated in a war understands how serious the situation is if the enemy is behind you and there are enemies in front.
At this moment, Viscount Hogg was like this, he knew it was time to retreat.
For the entire Silver Stream County, the losses in this war were not too great. He acted steadily and was able to make the Iron Mountain County nobles compromise little by little.
After all, this is a war between nobles. When the war seriously affects the interests of the nobles, the war will end. In many cases, there is no need to actually press the soldiers in front of the opposite side.
There are two roads in front of him now. One is to retreat directly from the avenue, but the back is blocked by the army brought by Ryan from Zero Crossing Prefecture and the army formed by the nobles of Iron Mountain County.
The second option is to return the same way.
"Ryan!!!"
Standing in front of the mine, looking at the collapsed mine ahead, Viscount Hogg was furious.
The way he returned was directly blocked by Ryan, and it was even possible that he used the magic power enshrined by his own Archmage.
"Lord Viscount, what should we do now?"
Several knights went to the location of the mine, but when they came back, they said they couldn't clean it out within two or three days.
"Now we either continue to attack Viscount Walter's castle, or we leave from the main road."
In the end, Viscount Hogg, whose face turned red, still could not make up his mind to attack the Viscount Castle.
How can a fortress built by a viscount family with decades of experience be so easily penetrated, and that Baron of the Frozen Earth is not a waste.
"Take the main road!"
In this case, we will face a situation of being attacked from both sides. It is very likely that the entire army will be wiped out in Iron Mountain County due to a war.
Baron Freeman is also paying attention to the movements of the North at this moment.
"Flying Wolf Cavalry is convenient for sending messages. Unexpectedly, after Baron Ryan appeared on the battlefield, Viscount Hogg's plan failed."
After finishing speaking, Baron Freeman looked at Harrington next to him.
"Knight, do you think Viscount Hogg's army will come to us from the avenue?"
He was a little excited, as if he was the one who failed Viscount Hogg on the battlefield.
"It will definitely happen."
Harrington replied, he was a little nervous. At this moment, the five or six thousand soldiers behind him were all under his control.
On the other side, Baron Malik was also a little excited.
"As long as we can win this war and even capture Viscount Hogg, then I can take back my territory and all my wealth."
"This is a rare opportunity."
"But Baron of the Frozen Earth just wants us to hold back Viscount Hogg's army. When his elite arrive, we can launch a flanking attack."
Baron Freeman was a little hesitant. Of course he wanted to imitate those powerful commanders in history and win a hearty battle, but fortunately he still remembered Ryan's words.
"How long has this happened? As long as we can win this war, we Iron Mountain County will be victorious."
At this time, Harrington suddenly coughed next to him, looked at the two nobles and said:
"When Master Ryan leaves, the command of the army is in my hands. If the two masters want to attack, they can attack with Iron Mountain County's two thousand men."
His words left the two Baron speechless and silent.
Suddenly, there was a violent vibration in the distance. Everyone looked to the north and found that densely packed figures appeared in front of them on the road where another three-headed building was located.
"They're coming!"
Harrington yelled and rode his war horse towards the rear. As the sound of horns echoed over the road in this mountainous land, the army became extremely nervous.
"Those damn warlocks actually gave the soldiers Cursed Water!"
Baron Freeman fled back in horror, shouting continuously:
"Those slave soldiers, they can't live for three hours, and they will become as bloodthirsty as wild beasts. Harrington, let your soldiers rush forward!"
No need for his reminder, a large number of soldiers were already blocking the road in the process of urging, and soon, they saw the group of slave soldiers with blood-red eyes, liquid flowing from their mouths, and crazy beasts roaring in front of them.
The terrifying scene directly caused the soldiers at the front to retreat subconsciously. The fear and panic in their eyes made it difficult for them to even control the spears in their hands.
"All of you, rush at me! Rush over and you will survive!"
In the distance, Viscount Hogg was roaring loudly. Of course, the slaves didn't know that the Cursed Water they swallowed was destined to die. They had lost all reason in their minds and kept moving forward. At this moment, the three hundred slave soldiers were like thousands of troops, forcing the army commanded by Harrington to retreat.
"Don't retreat, kill them!"
Harrington swung his sword to kill two retreating slave soldiers and came to the front of the army, but the next moment, he saw behind the three hundred slave soldiers who had swallowed Cursed Water, the real monster, a group of five or six knights and cavalry, stretching hundreds of meters side by side, charging towards him.
They didn't care about the life and death of the three hundred slave soldiers. Even for Viscount Hogg, it was the most direct way to use knights and cavalry to tear apart the southern defense line.
"It's over..."
Seeing the tall cavalry in the distance charging toward him without fear of death, all thoughts disappeared from Harrington's mind and he stood there blankly.
"For the glory of the Hogg Family!"
"For the honor of Lord Viscount!"
The knights charging at the front had incomparable fanaticism on their faces under their armor. They took Rage Potion and rushed into the thousands of troops behind Harrington with unparalleled momentum. Immediately afterwards, more and more cavalry came from the rear, frightening thousands of slave soldiers to pieces with their flesh and blood.
"Kill!"
North...
When Ryan heard the roar echoing in the mountains, his expression also changed at this moment.
"Viscount Walter, what do you think is the probability that Viscount Hogg will use the cavalry charge to clear the way in the first place?"
Ryan is not as familiar with that viscount as Viscount Walter.
The latter, after a moment of hesitation and silence, said:
"It's big."
"Thirty years ago, in the war that Northwind Province won, the old Viscount Hogg led the most elite troops to the forefront. At that time, he had just made an agreement for the current Viscount Hogg to marry a Imperial House member of the empire."
"Hogg Family's ethos is like this. Almost every viscount dies in battle."
"They are not afraid of death, because victory in war can bring benefits far beyond death."
So... when Ryan came to the battlefield with all the elites, what he saw were slave soldiers wailing all over the mountains and plains, and densely packed corpses on the hundreds of kilometers long road.
