Chapter 661: Bloodbath on the battlefield and the fleeing remnants of the army

The enemy troops outside the pass finally defeated the reinforcements after a fierce battle. They were overjoyed at the victory. Although they lost less than 30,000 elite troops of the coalition in the battle, such a loss was acceptable to them.

As the scope of the fierce battle between the two sides gradually extended, the enemy discovered that Pumasai's defeated troops had actually held the dangerous terrain, which made their attack difficult.

So they decided to wait for daybreak and then reorganize the attack. After all, after a long and fierce battle, the soldiers needed rest and adjustment.

However, in the early hours of the morning, an unexpected situation occurred. The coalition forces outside the pass suddenly encountered an elite knight in charge of liaison. He was covered in wounds and had obviously escaped after a narrow escape.

The commander here turned pale instantly after hearing the news. He realized that as soon as they divided their troops to resist the reinforcements of Pumasai, their troops would be in an extremely dangerous situation - attacked by Tan Aili's troops...

"What! Are you saying that the Pumasai Mountain Division dared to launch an attack at night? And we suffered a heavy loss and need our troops to go back and support immediately?" The commander's voice was full of shock and disbelief.

"General, it is absolutely true. When I left, we were ambushed and suffered heavy losses. We were simply unable to withstand the brutal Pumasai Mountain Division. It turned out that there were sharpshooters hiding on the outskirts, who took the opportunity to attack our mounts... It's hard to put it into words."

The commander of the coalition forces said: "General, please panic. We don't need to waste any more time on these defeated troops. We should immediately reorganize our forces and fight back to support them. In short, we are in a very passive position at the moment..."

As soon as the sun rose, all the coalition forces at the pass withdrew and disappeared in a moment.

Admiral Yakov, who was sleeping soundly, soon received the news of the enemy's withdrawal. He couldn't understand what it meant that the other side gave up the attack and withdrew directly when the situation was so good.

The surviving troops were unable to pursue and could only wait and see. At this time, the logistics team began to move up the mountain, clearing the mountain road and waiting for the arrival of the second batch of imperial guards.

In short, the Marshal's situation was getting worse and worse. The reinforcements did not solve the problem. He could only occupy the dangerous terrain and wait for the brother troops to break through.

The military supervisor was the queen's younger brother, a baron. He agreed to testify and say a few fair words for Yakov. He wrote a report and asked the messenger to send it to the imperial capital, which was nothing more than continuing to send troops to open up the Principality of Maya.

The war was imagined to be difficult, the Marshal's situation was not good, they had no supplies, and every day was very difficult, so Pumasai made up his mind to withdraw the troops from suppressing the rebellion. It was a bit difficult to make such a big decision.

The situation inside is actually more serious than outside, so a letter from the military inspector will put the court in an awkward position, but that is another story.

At this moment, Kashin was hiding in a tree to rest. It was already dawn, and not far away, the Silver Wolf was fighting fiercely with a sneaky knight.

Kashin suddenly woke up, then jumped down from the tree and quickly approached. He was obviously the senior knight in charge of liaison. Could he have some intelligence?

Kashen joined the battle with double axes in hand, but once they started fighting, he found that he might not be a match for the Silver Wolf. The reason why it did not use a killing move was that it wanted to capture it alive.

Although the silver wolf could not speak, it was very smart. As Kashin resisted the opponent's sword attack, he approached easily, put his hand axe against his throat, and disarmed the opponent.

"Speak now! Allied Knights, you have been arrested. If you don't reveal some life-saving information, you will be living a life worse than death."

Kashin put away his hatchet expressionlessly, the cold axe blade gleaming in the sun. His opponent was obviously intimidated by his momentum, and dared not resist at all, and could only stare at Kashin with eyes full of fear.

"I..." A weak sound came from the other person's throat, as if he wanted to say something, but was ruthlessly interrupted by Kashin.

Kashin rushed forward as fast as lightning, threw a punch, and hit the opponent's lower abdomen fiercely. This punch was like thunder, and the force was so great that it was astonishing.

The opponent's body seemed to be hit by a sledgehammer. He instantly became much shorter. He held his stomach in pain and his breathing became rapid.

However, Kashin did not pause at all, and immediately launched a flurry of punches at the opponent. Each punch was like a hammer, hitting the opponent hard, leaving him with no power to fight back, and he could only roll and struggle on the ground.

Kashin's fists were as dense as raindrops, and each punch accurately broke the opponent's fighting spirit defense. In the blink of an eye, the opponent's face was bruised and swollen, and blood kept gushing out from the corners of his mouth.

Kashin knew very well that it was absolutely impossible for an enemy like this to confess directly, so he did not give the other party a chance to breathe and beat him down first.

After a beating, Kashin finally stopped. He panted and looked at the enemy knight lying on the ground twitching, with a hint of indifference in his eyes.

Then, Kashin began to search the man's body. Soon, he found a letter. The wax seal of the letter was intact, and it was obvious that the man had hidden it very carefully.

Kashin broke the wax seal without hesitation, unfolded the letter and looked at the contents, which made his face become solemn.

It turned out that the lady had personally led the army to attack the enemy camp last night, and the battle was extremely brutal. And this enemy knight was forced to go to the capital for help because the camp was about to be lost.

After reading the letter, Kashin understood what was going on. He glanced at the enemy knight who was lying on the ground and twitching, and without the slightest hesitation, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the opponent's neck, and with a little force, he broke his neck.

Now that he already knew the situation on the front line, this enemy knight was no longer of any value to Kashin, and keeping him would only be a waste of time.

He turned around and said to Silver Wolf: "Let's go! Brother, you have done a great job."

The silver wolf was in high spirits, waiting for Kashin to jump onto his seat and dash off into the woods.

Not long after we walked, we discovered that there was suddenly a group of defeated soldiers in the forest. Judging from their various uniforms, they were most likely people who had retreated after being defeated in the battle.

Kashin fought a thrilling battle with the scattered army in the dense forest. He was as light as a swallow, nimbly moving through the woods, the weapon in his hand flashing with cold light, and every swing was deadly.

The forest was like home to Kashin, and he thrived there. The enemy lost their way in the complex terrain, but Kashin was able to use trees and bushes as cover and launch surprise attacks.

Time passed by minute by minute, and three hours later, the battle finally came to an end. Kashin's body was splattered with the blood of the enemy, but his eyes were still sharp, without the slightest fatigue.

However, just when he thought victory was in sight, an unexpected situation occurred. The last survivor was strangled by a thin steel wire and died instantly.

Kashin looked at the scene in front of him, and an indescribable feeling welled up in his heart. Just now there were a group of living people here, full of vitality and energy, but in the blink of an eye, they turned into cold corpses.

Life is so fragile and impermanent, Kashin couldn't help but sigh. The existence of these people is nothing more than a rich meal for the small animals in this forest.

Soon, their bodies will be devoured by nature and become one with the land, with nothing left.

The trees will absorb their nutrients and thrive as if nothing had ever happened. Kashin stood silently in this quiet place, feeling the cycle and impermanence of life.
