"Master Earl is defeated! Master Earl is defeated!"

The fall of Earl Sophie caused panic among the soldiers of the Royal Army of Lavana. This panic quickly spread to the entire battlefield. As the news spread, the content changed from "lost" to "death in battle", and it became more and more intense.

Although Earl Sophie was struggling to get up from the ground with the pain of his body, the voice of his death on the battlefield became louder and louder. Even if people around saw him alive, he still couldn't stop the spread of the rumors.

Finally, under the spread of rumors and the attack of the rebel infantry, the already dominant Kingdom Army's battle line was shaken. As the first soldier abandoned his weapon and turned to escape, the wave of escape was like a snowball. Soon the entire front was swept, and the soldiers screamed and discarded their weapons and shields to reduce the resistance to escape, exposing their fragile backs to the enemy's attack range.

Earl Sophie, who was barely able to get up with the help of the guards, watched this scene in despair with his mouth wide open. The shame and anger in his heart made his eyes bloodshot, and he wanted to pull out his sword and go up to a duel with Baden. Fortunately, the guards around him were in time. Stopped him, persuaded him to retreat first, and then gathered the defeated soldiers to fight the enemy.

Despite how unwilling Earl Sophie was, the remaining intellect in his heart made him make the right decision. Before the rebels surrounded him, he retreated with the soldiers who were still fighting around—as for those who were still fighting the javelin cavalry. The light cavalry, but he has no time to take care of it.

On the other hand, although the light cavalry who are better at close combat have experienced the baptism of the javelin before and damaged many cavalry, they still won the next close combat. The javelin cavalry who fought with them threw away the javelin they carried. They can only draw out the cavalry longsword and erect the cavalry buckler, and turn into melee cavalry. However, they will not be able to beat the Royal Light Cavalry. The cavalry equipped with the latter is obviously more advantageous in horse warfare, usually in the javelin cavalry. Before his long sword slashed at the enemy, the opponent's lance pierced their bodies first.

While the infantry battlefield was victorious due to the duel of the two commanders, the cavalry of the rebel army was beaten down, and they could only scream and try hard to drive the hip horse to run into the distance, intending to escape the pursuit of the kingdom's light cavalry. However, the victory of the cavalry war did not change the final outcome of this encounter. The first battle between the Kingdom Army and the rebels ended in failure.

...

The pride in his heart prevented Earl Sophie from returning to the city of Ravana with the defeated soldiers that he managed to gather. He chose to bring more than six hundred soldiers to the nearby baron’s small castle-this small castle is at most only More than a hundred soldiers can be stationed in, so he can only station outside the city, thinking about how to defeat the Baden rebel striker who brought him shame.

Failure in this battle could have been avoided. If it weren't for Baden's lance in the duel, how could he fall off his horse in public, causing a chaos in the army and a rout across the board.

He doesn't resent the soldiers' rout. As the head coach, if something goes wrong, he will affect the soldiers' state. This is what he learned from the education he has received since he was a child.

"Lord Earl, Arathan is back with the cavalry."

Count Sophie, who had withdrawn into the Bart Castle for a few days, finally received news from the light cavalry he had abandoned. Hearing the report of the guards, he walked quickly out of the original baron’s study, and under the guidance of the guards, he saw that he was born with him. Alasan, the cavalry commander of Mabucu, was not in good condition. He was covered in blood, his helmet was gone, and there were several weeds and leaves stuck in his messy hair.

The light cavalry who came back with Alasan was less than half of the original number, only thirty or forty men. According to Alasan, after defeating the rebel javelin cavalry, they returned to the battlefield and found that their infantry had ripped off. Before they could react, the rebel infantry rushed towards them, losing more than a dozen soldiers. After the cavalry, they finally shook off the clinging rebel infantry and found here along the traces left by the rout.

In addition, he also brought news about the rebel striker. Baden was not unscathed in the duel with Earl Sophie. His shoulder blades were shattered by Earl Sophie’s lance, and the intense pain caused him. He almost fell down, but he endured it. After the Kingdom Army collapsed, he fainted due to pain. The command of the current rebel forward was delegated by the adjutant, and under the command of the adjutant, the rebel forward followed along. When the route returns, it seems to be preparing to join the main force.

After hearing Alasan’s news, Sophie almost fainted. It turned out that as long as he resisted the pain and didn’t fall from the horse, the one who fell would be Baden, who is more seriously injured than him, and the outcome of the battle will also change. .

"Baden... I remember you." Sophie gritted her teeth and said in a bitter voice, "If you can return to the battlefield, I must defeat you with my own hands and redeem my lost honor!"

...

Regardless of Count Sophie’s anger, on the battlefield of Ramirez, thousands of miles away, Richard was commanding his army to build more siege equipment. Rumors of a war broke out in the rear suddenly circulated in the army one day. As a result, there was a commotion in the army, so Richard had to prepare in advance for the final siege and at the same time strengthen communication with the rear.

"Your Majesty Caesar, the news of the civil war launched by Bandak in the army is getting more and more serious. Some even say that the rebels have begun to besiege Ravana, and the morale of the soldiers has been affected."

"Have you caught the soldier who spread the rumors?" Richard asked in a deep voice to the reporting Condra. He didn't believe that this kind of news was fabricated out of thin air~lightnovelpub.net~ There is no certain basis, and the rear is almost How could soldiers without much communication spread such rumors about this important matter.

"Three soldiers were caught, one from Mabukou, and the other two militias from Port Bell." Speaking of this, Kondela lowered his voice a lot. "The strange thing is that they are interrogating why they spread the rumors. At the time, the three people said in unison that they had received their god’s foretelling in their sleep, and I can make sure that they have no chance to collude before this."

"The prophecy of the gods?" Richard couldn't help but frown. If he was an atheist in his previous life, he would have sneered at this kind of things involving gods, but he personally experienced a more mysterious journey and was filled with this. In the four or five years of life in the world of faith, I have not dared to easily veto the existence of gods.

"Yes, Your Majesty Caesar, as a devout believer of God, I have always paid no attention to the words of infidels, but this fact is weird. If it is not for the fact that there are people behind them, then only the last is left. An explanation..."

"The false gods they believe in really give them predictions in their sleep..."

When he said this, Richard could feel Condela's tone clearly trembling.
