Chapter 153 The lord of Liuyue City ran away!
Frontal battlefield.
As the captains led the troops to charge outward.
The bandits' team gradually collapsed.
At this time, the bandit leaders had also noticed the troubles of this spell.
Although they used fighting spirit to easily dispel the "strange magic" attached to their bodies, thereby freeing themselves from the influence of this spell.
But the problem is: the vast majority of bandits are ordinary people without fighting spirit.
This means that they cannot escape from the influence of the spell!
After realizing this fact, the "experienced" bandit leaders quickly issued the only and correct instruction:
"Retreat!!!"
- Since nothing can be done, then run first out of respect!
In fact, there is no need for them to call for retreat.
When they saw the soldiers of the 6th Infantry Regiment charging towards them and being affected by the power of the spell, the bandits turned around and ran away!
Although under the influence of the spell, they ran relatively slowly and could not outrun the soldiers of the Sixth Infantry Regiment.
But the bandits still showed an amazing will to survive!
Although that doesn't make them run faster, it at least buys the "good brothers" more time to escape!
Therefore, the soldiers of the Sixth Infantry Regiment chased them all the way, but a large number of bandits still ran out of the range of the spell.
The bandits who escaped from the spell's range instantly felt their bodies lighten.
——The influence of the spell disappeared!
Of course, after leaving the area covered by the spell, the bandits had no intention of stopping to save the "good brothers" behind them and fighting to the death with the soldiers.
On the contrary, they ran away faster!
On the soldiers' side, they found it difficult to catch up with the bandits who had escaped from the spell area, so they stopped pursuing them.
Under the commander's instructions, they began to retreat in an orderly manner.
At this time, the dark blue that filled the battlefield began to gradually fade and disappear.
The orange-red of the setting sun began to replace the dark blue of the original battlefield.
Under the connection of the legion's secret skills, the soldiers and the commander knew very well:
the legion commander's side was still fighting fiercely, and now was not the time to relax.
After returning to the formation, the new recruits who don't know the secret skills of the legion guard the outside.
The veterans took the initiative to use the secret skills of the legion on the inside and began to support Anthony.
While the veterans were operating the Legion's secret skills at full capacity, Brand, who had taken the potion and recovered to some of his condition, opened his eyes of insight with some curiosity.
Within the field of vision, the thin golden line connecting Anthony and the soldiers became much thicker than before, extending into the distance.
Because he was beyond the distance of the Eye of Insight, Brand could not see Anthony's current state.
However, he also discovered some requirements for the use of this legion's secret technique.
——You must have fighting spirit.
In other words, the threshold for its learning is the junior knight apprentice.
Because usually knight secret skills can only be learned by formal knights.
So Brand guessed that there should be other restrictions on the Legion's secret skills.
Just as Brand was thinking about the various shortcomings and limitations of this legion's secret technique, Catherine suddenly leaned into his ear and said: "Master, let me
heat up the food. Can we continue eating in a while?"
Catherine said. When it came to dinner, Brand instantly stopped thinking about the legion's secret skills.
Before I even had two bites of dinner, the robbers came over.
Now that the battle is over, it's really time to continue eating.
As for Uncle Anthony, he can't be of much help anyway!
...
Anthony's side, because it was discovered that the lord of Liuyue City wanted to run away.
He chased after him without thinking, but this pursuit was not that easy.
Legion secret skills have a limited range of use.
He can't be too far away, otherwise the Legion's secret skills will be interrupted!
Therefore, after chasing for a while and realizing that he was about to exceed the effective range of the legion's secret technique, Anthony stopped.
He shouted to the Lord of Liuyue City:
"Wait a minute, let's talk!"
After hearing Anthony's voice, the running figure of the Lord of Liuyue City paused for a moment.
Just when Anthony was already thinking about the next negotiation rhetoric.
The Lord of Liuyue City suddenly accelerated and ran away in a flash.
"..."
Seeing this scene, Anthony felt helpless.
It’s not like this, right?
After such a fight, Anthony also understood that it would be difficult for him to keep the Lord of Liuyue City.
In this way, the plan to "recruit soldiers" can proceed smoothly.
The best thing to do is to talk to the city lord of Liuyue City and then sign a "secret contract" that will not interfere with each other.
But the city lord of Liuyue City just ran away, which would not be easy to handle!
After waving his sword twice in annoyance, Anthony turned and ran in the direction of the army.
Now that the city lord of Liuyue City has been repelled by him, it's time to deal with the bandits on the front battlefield.
Although I know through the contact of Legion Secret Skills that the situation there should be going smoothly, I don't know how smooth it is.
With the strength of the great knight, Anthony returned to the army at an extremely fast speed.
At this time, the sky had gradually darkened, but the soldiers were still in military formation, looking at the surroundings with serious expressions.
There are no moving bandits around, and it can be seen from here that the battle here is over.
The soldiers all breathed a sigh of relief after seeing their regiment commander returning safely.
Then, Anthony stopped using the legion's secret skills and began to direct the soldiers in good condition to clean the battlefield and collect statistics.
After assigning the tasks in a few words, Anthony smiled and asked the captain beside him:
"Brand cast the spell before, right? Where are the others?"
After hearing Anthony's question, the captains looked strangely. He looked towards a camp.
After knowing that Brand was in the tent, Anthony didn't ask any more questions and walked directly to the direction of the tent.
But after getting closer, his expression became a little strange.
The soldiers are still setting up a military formation seriously outside, but Brand has already started to continue eating?
Smelling the tempting aroma of food, Anthony felt a little hungry unconsciously.
Then, he turned around and walked towards the logistics force.
Although he really wants to taste Brand's "delicious food", Anthony is a person with "extreme self-control".
It's really shameful to shamelessly eat rice in front of everyone!
...
After cleaning the battlefield and letting the soldiers repair themselves.
Anthony called a group of captains, Yersen, Brand, and Louise over to hold a war meeting.
The army is now very close to Liuyue City.
If the march continues tomorrow morning.
We will arrive at Liuyue City around noon.
Because we already know part of Liuyuecheng's strength, it's time to discuss the next step.
He first described the battle with the city lord of Liuyue City.
It can be summed up in one sentence.
——Even if you use the legion's secret skills with all your strength, it will be difficult to retain the leader of Liuyue City.
After saying this, Anthony actually felt a little ashamed.
You know, a big victory was won on the frontal battlefield.
But the chain fell off on his side.
Although he did defeat the city lord of Liuyue City, he did not achieve any actual results.
After trying hard to suppress the shame in his heart, Anthony said:
"This is the situation now. Let's talk about the next plan, whether to attack Liuyue City or negotiate with the city lord of Liuyue City, or simply withdraw from this place. A chaotic area."
