"What should we do? Of course we retreat immediately! Your Majesty, please give the order. It will be too late. Our extraordinary knights must not be lost!!" As soon as Bernard finished speaking, Count Lakoff spoke anxiously. .
If it weren't for the king here, he would have jumped on his horse and fled with his subordinates without saying a word.
As for the crowds on the stone bridge... with the strength of these extraordinary knights, ordinary guards could not stop them at all.
"Rakov, there are still half the guards who have not evacuated!" Bernard, however, was not as ruthless as Rakov. Hearing this, he frowned slightly and reminded him, that's thousands of lives. .
"Bernard, we have covered the retreat of most of the guards. Now that the situation is urgent, the priority is to preserve the strength of the Knights! We can still afford to lose half of the guards." Faced with Bernard's words, Lakoff said, But he didn't give in at all.
In fact, if they were more adventurous, it would be possible for them to immediately hold off the Warcraft Cavalry to help the guards buy some time to cross the river, and then complete the evacuation before the arrival of the three thousand paladins.
However, it is too dangerous to do so. With Lakoff's consciousness, he will definitely not take risks for some ordinary guards.
"Your Majesty, I think what Count Rakov said is right. If we don't retreat, it will be too late!" At this moment, another count stood up, it was Black Iron Count Bartman. Bartman was also unwilling to let a few soldiers do it. Life and adventure.
The king looked at the people who were running for their lives in panic and making difficult choices.
If they choose to retreat immediately, the thousands of guards currently on the stone bridge will definitely be squeezed off the stone bridge immediately, and they will definitely die if they fall into the river.
The remaining thousands who have not yet crossed the river have no chance of survival. After their knights retreat, the three thousand paladins of the church should also arrive.
Although it is said that only three or four thousand troops have been lost now, it is not actually a major loss for the army.
But once this is done, today's events will inevitably leave hidden dangers among all the guards.
Even if you can escape now, can you still fight the church next?
And wouldn't his lifelong reputation as the king of the Agate Principality be similarly destroyed?
"Your Majesty!" Seeing King Culver, the earls became even more anxious.
"Inform the cavalry regiment to mount their horses and prepare for battle!" However, King Culver soon gave them the answer.
"Combat? Your Majesty, do you..."
"That's right, Rakov, we who believe in the God of Glory cannot retreat. If we don't know how to resist in the face of a powerful enemy, but need to abandon our subordinates to survive, then are we still worthy of being a noble knight in the future? Are we worthy of declaring Is the city itself favored by the God of Glory?”
Rakov was a little hard to accept, but King Culver didn't give him any chance to refuse.
"Your Majesty the King is mighty!" When King Culver finished speaking, Nalant couldn't help but praise him.
It really takes a lot of courage to choose not to flee immediately in such a crisis, especially for King Culver, a noble king born and raised in feudal society.
"Haha, Baron Nalant, go to the stone bridge immediately and command the guards to cross the river!"
"Your merits are great enough, so you can't take risks with us!" King Culver smiled happily after hearing this.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Nalant did not refuse. Anyway, Bernard's safety did not need to worry him, so it was more useful for him to go to the stone bridge.
"Very good, the six Earls have listened to the order, mount your horses immediately, follow me to meet the enemy, and buy time for the guards to retreat!"
"It's your Majesty!" Immediately, the six earls got on their horses one after another.
The few earls of Lakoff and Batman were obviously not so happy, but they could only obey King Culver's order.
"Knights, charge!" Immediately, King Culver and a group of earls led thousands of knights and charged towards the Warcraft cavalry that had just landed and was frantically chasing down the ordinary guards.
"Vivian, let's go!" Nalant didn't hesitate when he saw this. He immediately got on his horse and rode with Vivian towards the stone bridge.
"Don't be crowded. Everyone should leave unnecessary items and evacuate in an orderly manner. If anyone dares to crowd in, don't blame me for being rude!" Arriving at the river, Nalant immediately began to direct the ordinary guards who were already frightened to cross the river.
As he spoke, he waved the whip in his hand and made a crackling sound.
Fortunately, at this moment, the king led six counts to attract the attention of the Warcraft Cavalry, which made the guards at the stone bridge less afraid and willing to listen to Nalant's words.
The originally chaotic and crowded scene regained some order.
After order was restored, the speed of the team crossing the river became faster, and no one would be squeezed off the stone bridge.
"Nalant!" At this moment, Stella who was not far away from Nalant shouted and nodded.
Stella had been directing the retreat by the bridge before, but she just shouted, and the extremely frightened guards ignored her at all.
Now Nalant simply waved his whip and the effect was immediate, and he naturally gained the tulip flower's admiration again.
As the saying goes, love the house and the bird, but Stella did not take into account the contributions of the king, her father and others.
Hearing Stella's call, Nalant blinked at her, and then continued to direct the guards to retreat.
With the unremitting efforts of him and Stella, in just three minutes, the nearly three thousand guards on the shore finally retreated and crossed the river safely.
"Finally crossed the river!" Seeing this situation, Nalant breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, the three thousand holy knights are getting closer and closer, but if they move faster, the extraordinary knights should be able to make it in time.
"Narant, what should we do now?" Without the crowd barrier, Stella finally came to Narant's side.
Stella didn't know what the king and others had just planned, so she didn't know what to do next.
"Now it's time for the Earl and the others to retreat! Stella, you cross the river first, and I'll inform the Earl and the others."
"I'll go with you." Stella was not prepared to evacuate in advance.
"Okay!" Time was running out, and Nalant had no time to say more. He and Stella immediately rushed towards the Earl and others hundreds of meters away.
"Your Majesty the King, Lord Earl, you can evacuate!" Nalant shouted immediately as he approached the battle circle of the Extraordinary Knights.
"Okay!" The king and the earls heard the words and responded immediately.
"Everyone, prepare to retreat, fight and retreat towards the stone bridge." Immediately, King Culver's orders began to be issued.
"Want to escape? You're dreaming!" However, just after King Culver's order came out, Archbishop Ike spoke bitterly.
"Neal, you guys go into the water and collapse the bridge!"
"Yes, Lord Bishop!"
Following Archbishop Ike's order, five Warcraft knights dived directly into the river and swam quickly towards the stone bridge.
And these Warcraft lizards are truly amphibious creatures, and their speed in the water is actually more than one or two times faster than on the shore.
Soon, the five-headed monster lizard dived to the edge of the stone bridge.
Boom boom boom!
As they arrived at the stone bridge, the five monsters frantically hit the bridge piers in the water.
The lizard monsters are already strong and huge, and they mainly rely on strength. As they hit the same bridge pier in turn, the stone bridge was suddenly shaken slightly by the impact, and the mud was rustling.
"Not good!" The actions of those monsters were immediately noticed by Nalant and Stella.
