Brando half opened his eyes and panted: "Obey...Gideon...Gideon's orders."
Chapter 220: The Final Battle, a Test of Both Sides
Mahamuda thought it would be best to withdraw Ragu immediately.
But Brando, who had regained some consciousness, asked everyone to obey Gideon's orders and continue the war.
He refuted this fiercely.
Most of the professionals were killed, and one of the only two remaining was seriously injured.
Although the main force of the legion did not suffer too many casualties and still had the advantage, they knew nothing about the enemy's intelligence. Not to mention a decisive battle, even a tug-of-war would be very dangerous.
Mahamud spent half an hour listing many well-founded examples.
For example, King Lagu in those days died because he underestimated the enemy and ambushed two of his own professionals, whose strength was extremely terrifying, and so on.
Brando did not interrupt or stop him.
After listening to the whole story, An Jing first explained that he and his companions were defeated one by one by the two strange professionals, which led to the current result.
And Brando was keenly aware that the magic cast by the young-looking man who blocked his way at the beginning was very unstable.
This means that he forcibly raised his level through external means.
The actual level is only magician.
The same goes for the person who appears later. If he is a space magician, does he need to hide in the woods and wait for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack?
A direct spatial cut would kill them half of their lives if they didn't die.
At this point, Brando emphasized: Mahamuda, you should understand what kind of terrifying existence the space magician is.
Then he continued his story.
Based on this, it can be confirmed that there are only two high-level professionals in Gul City.
Even though more than half of our professionals have died, the remaining you and I are still enough to deal with them.
Mahamuda listened to him quietly, and finally nodded silently to indicate his agreement.
Brando smiled, half leaning against the headboard, and looked at Gideon: "Don't worry about the high-level professionals, I will take care of it.
You just need to think about how to annihilate Gul's army."
"Please rest assured, Lord Brando. Gideon will surely bring victory and glory to the kingdom!"
Turning around, he strode out of the tent.
Looking at his resolute back, which was blocked by the rising and falling door curtain, the legion commander said:
"Brenda, I feel like I've taken a big risk. You seem..."
He couldn't quite figure it out.
You know, it was him and Gideon who insisted on continuing the attack.
Brando could just put all the blame on them with a few casual arguments.
No matter what the outcome is, he will remain invincible.
Win——Brando described his "silence" as continuous support.
Lose - I didn't say anything, it's your own choice.
But he didn't do that. Instead, he took on the responsibility and gave his full support to Gideon.
"Gideon was temporarily transferred to the Thorn Legion before the expedition, did you know that?" Brando looked at the legion commander.
"Of course, that's why I agreed to hand over the command to him."
"The second before I jumped onto the back of the mushroom, His Royal Highness the Third Prince sent me an urgent secret letter.
It said that it was related to the war, and if Gideon had any opinions, he was to obey them unconditionally.
If the plan does not go smoothly and there is even a risk of being surrounded, the best thing to do is to get Gideon back safely."
The legion commander was stunned for a long time before he spoke: "The best?"
"Yes."
"You mean, including you and me?"
"Yes."
Taking a deep breath, the legion commander subconsciously pondered the hidden meaning.
I am a waste, so I can understand being abandoned, but what about Brando's professional team?
The magician, the great knight, three wizards, and the kingdom's most elite Rose Army are no match for one Gideon?
Seeing his face full of disbelief, Brando laughed again: "It was mentioned in the letter that your father, Grand Duke El, was consulted on this matter and he agreed."
His breathing stopped instantly, and the legion commander clenched his fists suddenly: "If I return alive, I will definitely usurp his Grand Duke's throne as soon as possible!"
……
Gideon knew nothing about the conversation in the tent.
Even if he heard it, he wouldn't care. He just needed to know that the enemy professionals would not drop from the sky, and one high-level magic would be enough.
After leaving the tent, he quickly rushed to the command post - a tent that must be inconspicuous, and began to formulate a battle plan that night.
Although it is called a decisive battle, it does not mean gathering all the soldiers and attacking one place.
That's not a decisive battle, that's suicide.
Among the 100,000 soldiers, there are 10,000 cavalrymen, but due to the terrain and the fact that they do not have the "world" to carry mounts, they are unable to exert their combat power.
Gideon placed 10,000 cavalrymen in the camp on standby. If they could successfully defeat the Ghor army, they would not have to go to the front line.
After all, it is much more expensive to train cavalry than other types of soldiers, and it is too luxurious to use them as infantry.
Otherwise there is nothing we can do. The battle is about to be lost, so why should we care whether you are expensive or not?
Gideon then assigned tasks to the other 90,000 soldiers.
There were three teams in total, with the number of people being 20,000, 50,000 and 20,000 respectively.
Gideon used the first 20,000 soldiers in exchange for intelligence.
He didn't know enough about Lagu's new weapons, including their specific types, damage limits, etc. Without WD, he could only exchange the soldiers' lives for them.
The first team was eaten up by the enemy, and with the information gained, they quickly improved the subsequent plan and immediately mobilized the main second team to execute it.
At this time, the people of Gul City had just fought a battle, and even professionals would have suffered some losses.
According to Gideon's idea, the second team would not give the enemy any breathing time and would engage in close combat. Once both sides had fought fiercely to exhaustion, it would be time for the third army to attack.
everything's ready.
The next morning, the sky was just beginning to brighten.
In the forest where few people were seen in the past, a large number of soldiers holding spears in their hands passed through.
Following closely behind are archers holding bows and arrows.
There were no knights in different styles of armor, or wizards in robes.
In order to take the enemy by surprise and avoid being targeted and besieged by the enemy due to their conspicuous clothing, all low-level professionals in the legion, unless they are personal guards, are dressed like soldiers.
About five kilometers away, in the woods at the foot of the mountain, a group of soldiers dressed completely differently from them were marching quickly with guns in hand.
Neither side was running slowly, and five kilometers was not a long distance.
As expected, they ran into each other at the top of the mountain.
"Hidden shooting!"
"Fire arrows!"
The soldiers in camouflage uniforms hid behind the nearest trees, pulling the triggers of their guns.
As the muzzle flashed, the arrow flew over.
The bullet and the arrow passed each other by each other, and the latter was only halfway through its flight when the former had already hit the target's body.
Flesh and blood flew everywhere.
Seeing that their side suffered far more casualties than the enemy as soon as they met, the officer's eyes turned bloodshot and he ordered the professionals to provide magic cover and the knights to charge.
Something happened that made them drop their jaws.
The fireballs, wind blades, ice cones, and lightning that flew towards the enemy, although they were unstoppable and smashed the trees and pierced through the tree trunks, but in front of the group of ordinary soldiers, they seemed to be stopped by an invisible barrier and hovered in the air.
Until the magic power is exhausted and disappears without a trace.
"Spiritual power?!" a knight running forward shouted in shock.
Impossible, all magic is blocked, could it be that they are all professionals?
What else to fight?
The commander of the vanguard army appointed by Gideon himself is certainly not a fool.
After a little thought, he realized that the problem might be with the enemy's weapons.
"Don't stop!" he shouted, turning back and calling the professional's adjutant to pass the message back immediately.
The killing continued, and the bodies on the ground gradually piled up.
After sacrificing a large number of soldiers, Lagu finally succeeded in breaking into the First Army.
Their eyes were bloodshot, and they raised their spears and swords, ready to launch a massacre.
Do these soldiers who don't carry swords, hold guns or wear armor know what close combat is?
There was mockery in the Lagu soldier's eyes, but only for a brief moment.
The Gur soldiers who were more than ten meters away showed no fear or panic on their faces when they rushed towards them.
They calmly, as if they had done it countless times, skillfully pulled out a straight-bladed dagger from the side of their boots and inserted the hilt into the slot under the muzzle of the gun.
Soldiers who do not practice spear and sword are unlikely to be proficient in close combat.
Gideon could understand this simple logic, and Zhang Mu could naturally think of it as well.
