"Sorry, I didn't doubt what you meant, but I did feel stopped by something after rushing into the enemy's formation, but those things were densely packed everywhere in the enemy's defensive formation."

"If that thing is barbed wire, how much iron would it take to get that far?"

At this time, the questioner asked everyone's doubts. In fact, during the previous battle, most of these knights who rushed into the enemy's formation realized that they were indeed blocked by something. However, because the environment was too harsh at that time, countless The sound of explosions and intensive gunshots resounded throughout the area, and the dust splashed by the explosion covered the sight. In addition, the frightened war horses consumed most of the energy of the knights, leaving no time for people to explore what happened.

After regaining consciousness now, he suddenly heard that the thing blocking him was a barbed wire fence. The knights present could hardly believe this statement intellectually.

It's not that the knights can't accept the reality, but in their cognition, iron wire is an extremely complicated thing to manufacture. If you want to make this kind of thing into a net, and then spread it all over the battlefield, the manpower and material resources you need to consume are simply unreasonable. Counting, the cost of it is completely enough to arm a knight order.

So no matter how you look at it, this approach is extremely unreasonable, so there are current doubts.

"Silence! If you have any questions, wait until after the report is over!"

Just as everyone looked at the female knight suspiciously and waited for her explanation, the Duke of Girton suddenly stopped everyone's inquiries for some reason. Afterwards, the old duke took out a letter from his pocket and said Unfolding it, he turned his head and said softly to the female knight,

"Girl from the Dalk family, just keep talking and don't pay attention to them."

"What else have we encountered besides barbed wire?"

Facing Duke Girton's soothing words, the female knight, who was originally thinking about how to answer the questions of the people around her, was stunned instinctively, and then quickly spoke again,

"Reporting to Your Excellency, in addition to the barbed wire, I also saw an explosion from the ground."

"Because I was at the very end of the team, after the barbed wire popped up, I was blocked outside the enemy formation and could not move forward. Later, when my team members and I were trying to find a breakthrough outside the enemy formation, we found that the knights charged On the way, there will be constant explosions.”

"If I'm not mistaken, that thing should be the Devilstorm Bomb mentioned in the previous intelligence...Of course, it may be something similar."

Devil bomb!

When this word was uttered from the mouth of the female knight, the audience suddenly became silent, but soon, mumblings full of regret and anger sounded around.

At this moment, most of the knights had a hint of annoyance on their faces. This was because they had seen the real weapon, the Devilstorm Bullet, before going out on the expedition, and they had specially arranged targeted tactics.

However, due to many reasons, the knights lack a deep knowledge and understanding of this new weapon that has just been born.

Therefore, when the information given to the Knights by the Imperial Intelligence Department showed that Devilstorm Bomb is a throwing weapon with a very limited throwing range, the knights only made tactical arrangements for this characteristic. They never expected that Devilstorm Bomb Bombs can also be buried in the ground in advance.

Faced with such a tactic that was obviously as simple as thought of, the resentment in the hearts of the knights who were beaten to death was beyond words.Many people crazily cursed the enemy's cunning in their hearts, and at the same time regretted their own stupidity, wishing to turn back time and fight the battle just now.

"...........and then?"

Just when everyone was aggrieved and seemed to have a thousand words to express, Duke Girton, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and stopped the commotion in the crowd with his stern gaze. After that, he sighed and looked at the female knight again,

"Going on, I'd love to know how many more stupid things we've done."

Hearing what the Duke said, the female knight hesitated for a while, but finally continued with a serious face,

"After the explosion of the devil bomb, our charge formation was broken up, and the horses also stopped in front of the barbed wire. After that, the enemy used a device that could make a loud noise, which continuously made a roar similar to an explosion. The sound disturbed our messenger post."

"During that period of time, a large number of barbed wire fences divided the Knights into many small pieces. Because the riding posts were disturbed, our teams could not communicate with each other at all, and the horses were frightened and out of control. In the end, , the entire Knights became a mess......"

At this point, the female knight suddenly shut her mouth and stopped speaking, but even if she didn't speak, everyone can imagine what happened afterwards.

Trapped deep in the enemy's formation and unable to extricate themselves, coupled with the limited means of communication, the knights trapped in the wire formation are like small bugs stuck on a spider's web, which can only be manipulated by the enemy and finally eaten by one bite.

Knowing this step, everyone was very clear about the development of the previous battle, but facing the whole battle process, everyone seemed to be holding a breath in their chests, unable to spit it out or swallow it, and panicked in their hearts.

It wasn't that the knights couldn't accept defeat. In fact, after figuring out the entire battle process, the resentment in the hearts of most of the people present had disappeared, replaced by a profound sense of powerlessness.

At this moment, the knights knew very well in their hearts that even if they went back in time, the outcome of the battle just now would not change much, because the enemy did not use any tricks at all, but defeated themselves in a dignified manner. There is really no reason to speak of absolute strength.

But it is precisely because of this that the knights feel extremely aggrieved. As the most elite knights in the empire, they were actually defeated by an undersized infantry regiment on the frontal battlefield, and the reason for their defeat was that their combat effectiveness was inferior to others. !

What is even more frightening is that through the deduction of the battle just now, the knights suddenly realized that the tactics used by the coalition army in the battle just now were completely unsolvable, and the tactics did not have high requirements for users. If the opponent is replaced by another infantry regiment, the outcome of the battle will not change much!

What this terrible conclusion means, the knights present are very clear.

It is entirely conceivable that after the end of this war, the allied forces, which have tasted the sweetness, will carry out military reforms in accordance with the current model of this "unknown army".In this way, in the not-too-distant future, the era of imperial cavalry riding across the battlefield will surely be gone forever!

The age of the cavalry......... is over.

At this moment, as if a mountain was pressing on their hearts, everyone lowered their heads in silence, and when the atmosphere was so solemn that it was hard to breathe, Duke Girton, who had been quietly thinking about something, suddenly turned to The female knight next to me asked,

"Girl from the Dalk family, you just said that you were blocked from the enemy's formation after the battle started. Did you have any tactical arrangements after that?"

Hearing Duke Girton's sudden question, the female knight was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately responded in a low tone,

"Reporting to Your Excellency, at that time, I decided to launch a rescue because I saw that our people were all trapped in the enemy's line. In order to tear the barbed wire laid by the enemy, I and my team members blindfolded the horse's eyes, and then drove the horse to forcibly hit the barbed wire. .”

"After losing all the horses, we managed to open a breach, but because the breach was not big, we couldn't save more people."

"So it was you who brought us out of desperation?!" At this moment, hearing the female knight's words that revealed strong self-blame, Duke Girton not only did not mean to blame, but his eyes lit up, and he immediately patted us with his one arm. Patted the female knight on the shoulder and said,

"Thank you very much, child. It was you who brought us out. If it wasn't for you, I think we would all be meaningless corpses at this time......"

At this point, Duke Girton suddenly changed the topic,

"Son, you saved all of our lives. I should have thanked you very much, but now is really not the right time. Not only can I not express my gratitude, but I need you to do me another favor."

"Your Excellency, you don't need to do this." Facing Duke Girton's words, the female knight quickly waved her hand, and then said in a hurried tone,

"The person who saved you was not me, but the guards around you. The situation was very chaotic at that time. I couldn't do anything without my horse. It was your guards who desperately brought you out regardless of their own lives. .”

"Compared to their sacrifices, my efforts are insignificant. If you need me anywhere, please give me an order. I am willing to die."

"No, child, you have done a good job, better than all of us..." After hearing the female knight's speech, Duke Girton sighed and shook his head, and then, He looked at the female knight seriously,

"Son, now I have a difficult task for you. I want you to immediately find a way to return to the empire and return alive!"

"I want you to tell everyone in the empire exactly what happened here!"

"Remember, don't hide anything. Be sure to tell the people of the empire about my failure, my stupidity, and all the mistakes I made in this battle."

"The empire must be deeply aware of what kind of enemy they are about to face!"

"Son, please promise me!"

"Your Excellency, I......" At this moment, facing Duke Girton's request, the female knight suddenly felt a huge pressure, her body was stiff, and she instinctively wanted to say something What, but before the words could come out, someone suddenly said loudly,

"Look! It's the enemy's scouts, they're catching up—!"

Faced with this sudden warning sound, the crowd panicked for a while, but Duke Girton quickly stabilized his position. Immediately afterwards, the legendary Duke gave an order to bring the few remaining horses in the team. , and then handed it over to the female knight without hesitation, and forcibly pushed her onto the horse.

"There is no time to delay, boy, take these horses and leave immediately!"

"Remember my words, you must return to the empire alive, and you must tell everyone what happened here!"

"Let's go—!"

As he said that, Duke Girton stretched out his remaining arm, and slapped the horse's leg fiercely. Under the pain, the horse ran instinctively, and soon disappeared into the depths of the jungle with the female knight on its back.

After the figure of the female knight could no longer be seen, Duke Girton turned his head and looked at the surrounding knights staring at him. The old man smiled and said,

"Sorry, everyone."

"At this last moment, I decided to leave it to the little girl of the Dalk family, for this..."

"I allow you to curse me severely."

At this moment, upon hearing Duke Girton's remarks, the surroundings were silent for a while, and then there was a slight burst of laughter,

"Come on, Your Excellency the Duke, who dares to curse you? Everyone here doesn't know that you are the most vengeful, and making a mistake can make you remember forever."

"Yes, yes, I don't want to go to the Hall of Valor and be tossed by you."

Hearing the teasing sounds in his ears, a smile appeared on Duke Girton's face. Then, he looked towards the distant jungle, and saw many swaying figures at the edge of his sight, apparently from the coalition army. The pursuers have arrived.

Seeing this, Duke Girton didn't feel flustered on his face, but smiled even more.

"Well, it seems that no one wants to curse me, so everyone should prepare well. The enemy has arrived, so we can't let them see us in a mess."

As soon as the words fell, the legendary duke walked to the front of the team alone. After receiving a somewhat broken battle flag from the knight beside him, he waved the battle flag with his only remaining arm. His body, his back was firm and straight, his blood-stained face smiled infinitely arrogantly,

"You gentlemen!"

"The final moment has arrived, and the glory of the Hall of Valor is shining in the distance!"

"Let us trust each other, unite our will, and let this last battle be immortal—!"

Chapter 209 205 The Curtain

An hour later, the pungent gunpowder smoke dissipated along with the evil spirit of the battlefield, the birds on the treetops began to sing again, and the bugs crawling in the mud also played along. It has become harmonious. If it is not for the strong smell of blood still in the air, it will be as if nothing has happened here.

At this moment, the decisive battle between the Imperial Army and the Allied Forces has come to an end, and just when all the dust has settled, Katerina quietly came to the An open area somewhere in the jungle.

This is the last battle between the Imperial Army and the Allied Army, and the girl came here to inspect the battlefield.

"Your Majesty, this is the place where the imperial knights who fled before were wiped out by us!"

At this moment, an officer of the United Army is bowing his body, reporting to Katerina in a very respectful tone,

"Please see, according to your previous instructions, after the battle, our soldiers did not damage the corpses of the imperial people, and all the corpses were placed there intact."

"By the way, Your Majesty, there is something I need to explain to you. The remains of the Duke of the Empire are also here."

"However, because he was charging at the forefront of the team at that time, he was concentrated fire by our army, and the intensive shooting of electromagnetic guns completely smashed his body, which was really impossible to see."

"I don't know if His Majesty still wants to review it?"

After listening to the officer's report, Katerina, who was observing the battlefield silently, frowned slightly. After a moment of silence, the girl ordered in a low voice,

".........Bring it up."

"As ordered!"

After receiving the order, the officer didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly gestured to the followers around him. Not long after, he saw several soldiers walking over quickly carrying a blood-stained stretcher.

After the soldiers approached, Katerina waved her hand, rejected the handkerchief Celia handed over, and slowly came to the stretcher alone, and looked intently, only to see a corpse with only one arm left, silently lying on a stretcher.

Just like what the officer said, this corpse is no longer visible. The bullets from the electromagnetic gun shattered it completely. Although the main part of the enchanted armor on his body is still intact, there are cracks everywhere. The starting point is a big hole, through which the flesh and blood, bones and even internal organs can be clearly seen.

The most horrifying part is the head of the corpse. I don’t know how many bullets have hit it. The whole face is a mess. The frontal bone is so white that it is exposed. The nose and two eyeballs are no longer visible. Torn to shreds, it was extremely miserable.

After a long silence, Katerina suddenly closed her eyes, sighed with emotion, and then asked in a calm tone,

"...... Are you sure it's me?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it has been confirmed that this corpse is indeed the remains of the Duke Girton of the Empire."

Facing Katerina's question, someone around immediately replied,

"Although the remains were smashed to pieces, the Duke of Girton was at the forefront of the charge array when he charged. Many soldiers saw the Duke with their own eyes, and they could all prove the identity of the remains."
