Valkyrie Europa

Chapter 360 Retreat
Germany, Nuremberg.

With the sound of a huge horn, another attack and defense ended.The originally stalemate battlefield slowly separated, and the tide-like army retreated again, leaving only corpses all over the place.

Looking at the martial saints flying back from afar, His Majesty Napoleon in front of the big tent of the Chinese army sighed leisurely, then waved his hands and walked into the big tent.

The French generals had already withdrawn, and they were sitting in the tent, looking at His Majesty Napoleon, who was sitting back in the main seat with a gloomy face.

His Majesty Napoleon put his hand on his forehead, and his voice was full of exhaustion: "Let's talk about it, what should we do next."

Following his inquiry, there was a sudden commotion below:
"I think it's better to retreat. I have tried so many times, and it will be futile to try again. We should not be able to defeat Nuremberg."

"Yeah, now that we're fighting so hard, we can't gain any advantage at all. It's useless except wasting lives."

"In the final analysis, it's those two Viking warriors! Not to mention destroying half of our imperial fleet, but still coming here to help the Germans, what a damn! One day we must find a way to destroy them!"

"What's the use of saying this now? They've already made a move, and it looks like they're not only helping a few games, they're going to spend a long time with us!"

"I really don't know what kind of benefits Dezhi has promised them. They are so dedicated to helping! They work harder than those in Dezhi themselves!"

"It's hard to say. Maybe Deutschland is imitating us and recruiting all these Vikings? They just want to show themselves in front of their new master this time, and seek a higher status."

"Then let's recruit them too! One Goddess Cult is not enough, so we recruit two more! As long as we overwhelm them, we can take down Nuremberg no matter what!"

"Hehe, you think it's so easy to collect? This one is not collected for nothing, we want to protect and support them! A Goddess Cult is under a lot of pressure! I don't know how much it will take to support them afterwards. Let's talk , It’s not that you don’t understand what those evil heretics look like, and you took them in randomly, how do you know what kind of mind they have in mind?”

"Yes, yes, yes, this hole can't be opened again. Although the Goddess Sect was considered to be a kind of demon heretic before, it is relatively better. It is not very ambitious, and it is not difficult to control. But the other ones are terrible. They are all lunatics! It is impossible to control them at all! Taking them in will do more harm than good! Maybe the Holy See will intervene!"

"Then retreat. Anyway, Austria has been occupied by us now, and Germany doesn't have the courage and strength to compete with us in a short time. Let's retreat back to rectify and do all the defense along the river. It can last for a few years, so let’s think about it in the long run.”

"Yeah, now that Germany's elite is exhausted, it is still difficult to defend the homeland. It is impossible to cross the river and take back Austria. It will take seven or eight years to restore the strength of the past. Such a long time is enough for us to overwhelm the Austrian defense line. It's built like gold!"

"Hey, although I'm not reconciled, it's the only way to go. You can't fight with Germany to lose both sides. Other countries are eyeing each other. Spain and Italy have become stronger recently, and they are a little ready to move. England, maybe When the civil war will end, what should we do if we go eastward then? It’s better to preserve our strength and retreat first.”

There was a lot of noise in the big tent of the Chinese army, but the final thought was unified, and that was to retreat.Most of the generals have retreated, and they have no hope of victory.

In fact, strictly speaking, there may not be no chance of winning if you fight hard. The quality of French soldiers far exceeds those of German recruits, and after d'Artagnan was recalled from the rear, there is a gap between the high-end martial arts level and Germany. It's not too much. If the whole army is deployed, it may not be impossible to take Nuremberg in a life-and-death fight.

But just like those generals analyzed, this loss is too great!Even if it can be defeated, it will be a miserable victory, and not only the soldiers and generals, but also the strong warriors at the martial saint level may fall!
In a battle at the martial saint level, it is easy to tell the winner or loser, but it is very difficult to tell the difference between life and death, unless the opponent does not run away.For example, in a national war, in order to protect the country, one would never retreat and fight to the death.For example, like now, although the martial arts masters of both sides fight back and forth every day, it looks like a lively fight, but in fact, none of them have exhausted their full strength or desperately!
This is of course not that they are unpatriotic, or that they refuse to follow orders and go all out.There is also a reason for them to preserve their strength in this way.First of all, there are still many demons and heretics hiding around, once they consume too much, it is difficult to continue, and if they are not kept, these demons and heretics will take action, kill them on the spot, and take them away.

Secondly, although the Martial Saint class can also divide life and death, even if the old Martial Saint crushes the new Martial Saint and kills the opponent, he will inevitably be severely injured, and in the end he will be taken advantage of by the demon heretics.Just like when the Viking pirate king and England's "Knight of the Lake" Lancelot besieged and killed the French "Martial Saint" Porthos in the sea, although Porthos was finally killed, the Viking pirate king and Lancelot They were all badly injured.And the "Sharp Spear Martial Saint" is not considered strong among all martial saints, and even fighting alone is not an opponent of any of the above.

As time passed, the noise in the big tent became weaker and weaker, and finally silence was restored. All the generals and staff members looked at His Majesty Napoleon who was sitting on the throne, waiting for him to make a final decision.

Finally, after a long silence, His Majesty Napoleon put down his hand on his forehead and raised his head. His face was tired, and his voice was also tired: "Oh, I understand, pass the order and the whole army rests." One night, get up early tomorrow morning and set off, we will return to Austria!"

The order is very clear, very clear, and it is in line with everyone's current wishes.But everyone could hear a deep sense of unwillingness in this short sentence.

But no one persuaded them anymore. No matter what, everyone was exhausted after the protracted siege battle. Even the warlike and fanatical generals were exhausted. When I went to Austria, and even returned to France, I reunited with my family, wives and children, and had a good rest to heal my physical and spiritual fatigue and wounds.

So, after the meeting ended, the generals left the big tent one after another and passed on the order.Immediately, cheers erupted one after another in the French camp, often one after another, and another wave, no worse than the previous cheers after the victory.

Such cheers inevitably attracted the attention of the Germans on the walls of Nuremberg, and they all stuck their heads out in surprise, looking at the French barracks in the dark night with various guesses.
