There were many soldiers who escaped. After all, most of them were slave soldiers. It was their instinct to flee. But when those regular soldiers saw that the soldiers around them were running for their lives, they would not risk their own lives to stay and leave others behind.
At the moment when people's hearts are dispersed, no matter how many troops there are, it will not help.
Ryan looked at the fleeing army in the distance, and then looked at the soldiers kneeling on the ground around them. These had no chance or time to run away, so they could only surrender and pray not to be killed.
Part of it belongs to the Viscount Miles side, and part of it belongs to the other side.
"Master Ryan."
Harrington didn't know when he tied Baron Enzo to Ryan. Looking at the noble, Ryan had no expression.
"Go back and tell Viscount Dragoon, Ice Peak Forest, half of it belongs to us."
"If you agree, your nobles can redeem their soldiers. If you don't agree, then I will kill these prisoners, and then we will continue the war."
other side.
Brandt threw the body of a Silver Knight in front of the terrified army with one shot. The surrounding soldiers gradually gathered and aimed their sharp weapons at Viscount Miles's soldiers who could not even pick up their weapons because they ran away.
"Lord Viscount."
The two Silver Knight came to Viscount Miles and knelt down guiltily. The three of them joined forces, but they couldn't stop the young man. At this moment, they saw the corpse in the corner of their eyes and couldn't help but feel fear in their hearts.
If the battle line had been drawn any longer, both of them would have died.
"Lord Viscount, my lord asked me to tell you that if this war continues, you will completely lose hope of occupying Zero Crossing City."
Viscount Miles stared at Brandt closely. He never expected that the war would turn around so quickly.
Obviously they have more troops here, and they still have the advantage, so why were they defeated so easily.
"You guys have joined forces with Dragon?"
Brandt did not respond, but in Viscount Miles's view, this was the fact. The three Baron took refuge in Viscount Dragoon, which led to his defeat in the war.
At the same time, Viscount Dragoon on the other side also looked ugly. They were also worried that Ryan's army would turn around and mix with Viscount Miles.
"Father, we can't gamble."
"We get nothing if we lose the bet. If we win the bet, then they can only stand with us and deal with Viscount Miles."
Baron Enzo spoke, finally making Viscount Dragoon make up his mind.
"Then promise them!"
The joining of Count Weiss forced Viscount Dragoon to compromise and give away half of Ice Peak Forest's wealth.
On the other side, Viscount Miles also gritted his teeth and said angrily:
"Go back and tell your lord that Miles Family will not forget this debt. In addition, put Mr. Artel back. He is Count Weiss's younger brother. You are not qualified to capture him."
Brandt raised his hand, and soon there were soldiers behind him who brought the bound Artel·Ves over. This nobleman with only the strength of Formal Knight did not have any courage to turn defeat into victory in front of the sudden army. He did bring two thousand soldiers, but except for the dozens of barbarians, the rest were all slave soldiers, and they did not have the courage to fight against the headwind situation.
This is the game between nobles. If this war fails, Viscount Miles can only leave and lead the army back to his own territory to lick his wounds.
Soon, Ryan received responses from the viscounts of both sides. He was not very happy, because as long as all the armies of both sides were not left here, these nobles would be able to pull out an army again after returning.
After Orcs went south, the nobles of Northwind Province had many more slaves.
"It's a pity that if they keep all their troops here, these nobles won't be able to form a large-scale army in the next few decades, right?"
Ryan Regrettably, he looked around and after cleaning up, he found that the number of deaths in this war was not as high as expected.
It's normal. The military quality of the soldiers on both sides is not high. The death and injury exceeded 10% and they did not retreat. This shows that most of the soldiers did not know what was going on. The death and injury exceeded 20%. Those slave soldiers have not collapsed. Ryan thinks that the nobles of their respective countries are leading the troops well. If the death and injury exceed 30%...
With this number, even regular elites will definitely retreat. Not to mention others, Ryan owns two hundred Knight Retainer. If 30% of them die, he will be heartbroken and call the army back.
War is never about fighting to the last man. Such a war can be called an epic. If no one retreats, history will remember it and countless military commanders will be excited and try to learn from it.
In more cases, just like today, the end of the war can be declared after failure.
This is also the reason why Ryan keeps sending scouts, because he wants to know how many soldiers the nobles on both sides have lost in this war. He will not come at 10%, but once he appears at about 20%, he can change the situation of the battle and win the war.
Viscount Miles didn't know how their army lost. This was the reason. He could only see that there were still so many soldiers in his army, and saw the army soldiers as just a number.
But Ryan didn't. He knew very well that every soldier was a living person. They were afraid, panicked, confused, and desperate. They were people with emotions.
Everyone is a human being, not a machine that will risk its life to fight if thrown into the battlefield.
Therefore, soldiers will flee. If one soldier flees, there will be a second one, a third one...
A large number of soldiers fled, and even a million-strong army was of no avail.
In frontal combat, Ryan's army is definitely no match for so many Noble Allied Army, but the timing of his arrival is great.
It happened that the tense heartstrings of the armies on both sides were on the verge of collapse, and his army had just entered the battlefield.
Therefore, as long as the army of Count Weiss that arrived shortly after its arrival is eliminated, then this war cannot fail.
Of course, if Viscount Miles organizes the army to camp again, then Ryan will still be at a disadvantage and even have to withdraw from the allocation of Ice Peak Forest. Therefore, he began to win over Viscount Dragoon, with two The way the viscounts check and balance each other, wooing Viscount Dragoon can make Viscount Miles firmly leave, and the existence of Viscount Miles can make Viscount Dragoon accept Ryan's proposal.
The victory of the war is because human nature is like this, so the victory or defeat of the nobles belongs to the use of the rules of the game between the nobles.
As a victor, even one Baron, Ryan can loudly drive away other nobles.
When they reacted after the war, everything was a foregone conclusion. Even if they were unwilling to do so, they would not dare to damage the reputation of their nobles in a short period of time.
