Chapter 156, Difficult Decision

Until now, Ryan and Gabriel did not know the dilemma faced by the knight army.

"What? My marquis, you told us that the army of chivalry has been surrounded? The Earl of Adelaide's army has been wiped out? The castle of Ursen has fallen?" Gabriel's face was full of question marks, and he looked confused: " But didn't you tell us before that the army was just in an ambush, and the loss was a bit big?"

"We encountered an ambush and suffered a lot of losses, but now is not the time to talk about this. The Beastmen attacked Yursen Castle by surprise. The left army has been wiped out. Our 10,000 people in the middle army are now surrounded in a basin. We I need your support!" The Marquis of Anxi said loudly, his voice was hysterical and impulsive: "I order you to return to the aid immediately, and you must arrive at Ursen Castle within three days, otherwise the army will be wiped out danger!"

"The right army is more than 100 kilometers away from Ursen Castle. How can we rush back to Ursen Castle within three days?" Ryan said after receiving the magic communicator. He is still a little unbelievable.

With an army of more than 30,000 people, there are more than 10,000 left?

"That's enough, I asked you to snipe at the Beastman reinforcements at Wanmoyan, you haven't completed the mission at all, now is your last chance to make meritorious deeds, give me back immediately!" There was a loud noise from the magic communication equipment, The last thing Ryan and others heard was the roar of the Beastmen and the desperate cries of the knights, as well as the last voice of the Marquis of Anxi, which slowed down and almost begged: "For the sake of the lady and the king, we need you Support! Please!"

Afterwards, the arraignment was discontinued.

Ryan and Gabriel looked at each other and could feel the seriousness of the matter.

As the commander, the Marquis of Anxi could hear screams beside him, and he was no longer in a predicament.

This is already on the brink of collapse!

"Hold a military meeting immediately!"

"yes!"

Five minutes later, in the tent of the Chinese army, Baron Jean, Holy Grail Knight Ryan, Marquis Gabriel, Marquis Connery, Julius and Suria were all on standby in the tent. Veteran kingdom knights also came to the big tent.

A large map was placed in the tent, and Gabriel began to describe the current situation.

The army on the left was wiped out, the Beastmen made a surprise attack, Castle Yursen fell, and the army in the middle was trapped in Yursen, suffering heavy losses. Now they continue to reinforce, and according to Ryan's judgment, the situation is already very critical.

"What should we do now? Withdraw our troops? We are already close to the Wanmo Rock, and the Beastmen cannot move the Wanmo Rock for a long distance in a short period of time! Withdrawing our troops now? It means that we have given up the efforts of the past ten days. We will return without success in this chivalry war." Some knights of the kingdom retorted immediately.

"But if we don't return to help, the army of chivalry is in danger of being wiped out. What can we do alone in the forest?"

"But if we don't go to the rescue now, we will just ignore our companions. This is not a knight!"

"But the goal of our war of chivalry is to destroy the Demon Rock. After paying such a huge sacrifice, we can't accomplish the goal. How can we explain to the lady and the king? Is this a knight?"

Everyone was arguing.

Ryan frowned even more. He really didn't expect that the army of 6,000 people he led could repel the main force of the Beastmen, and the other two armies with a combined total of more than 30,000 people were defeated by the Beastmen. Lose or lose?

The left army was wiped out?

Ursen Castle was breached?

There are only 10,000 people left in the Central Route Army and they are surrounded? Asking for help in a desperate situation?

He always has a feeling that reality is more magical than reality,

He really didn't expect that Ryan is not a white wolf god of war who can perceive every war of his followers, he is not a fairy in the lake who can see the future through prophecy, and he is not his own father who can emit astronomical torches To the entire main material universe, everything is within his perception.

Ryan is still an incompletely grown Primarch in essence. He controls subspace psionic energy, possesses powerful power and unique ability to reverse corruption, but he is still far from the strength of a god. How could he know What happened now?

The Marquis of Anxi must have concealed the real situation before, otherwise it would not be possible to lose the army overnight.

So what should I do now?

The army he led has reached a crossroads.

Out of knightly morality, he should go back to rescue. As the Holy Grail Knight, he is not good at refusing to save his allies, but what he considers is, can his allies really last until three days later?

The left army was completely wiped out, and the center army was surrounded by only 10,000 people. In this case, what can the more than 4,000 people on my side do? It is about 110 kilometers away from Ursen Castle. Normally, it is normal to march 20 kilometers a day in the forest. It is a forced march to walk 110 kilometers in three days. Three days, exhausted right The army did not encounter an ambush and arrived near Yursen. Can they really repel the Beastman army with their little people?

Still the same sentence, Ryan could hear the screams of the beastmen in the magic communicator, which proved that the Marquis' situation was quite critical. Ryan had a hunch that the Marquis of Anxi might not be able to last for three days.

But if he didn't save Ryan, covering his head in pain, he signaled to everyone: "I need to be quiet for a while."

"Okay, Lord Ryan." Everyone knew that the lady's champion was the one who made the decision in the end.

Suria looked at Ryan worriedly. The female knight's beautiful face was full of tangles. She seemed to want to go up and ask Ryan what his plan was, but was stopped by Julius: "Lian, he needs to be quiet for a while."

In the eyes of everyone, Ryan began to think.

Like his father, Emperor, his son is calmer when encountering bigger things, and it seems that there is another kind of blood power helping Ryan to think. This power is not as supreme and sacred as Emperor, but it is Full of wisdom and decisiveness, this bloodline gave Ryan the instinct to think of several solutions and find the best solution in an instant.

His mind was spinning rapidly, and Ryan knew that any small mistake now would ruin this army.

A few minutes later, Ryan opened his eyes, and his voice was cold: "We will not support the knightly army, we will continue to march until we destroy the Demon Rock!"

The big tent became very quiet, and everyone felt conflicted about the decision Ryan had made.

Unexpected, reasonable.

Ryan first stretched out his hand, pointing to Ursen Castle on the big map: "There are several reasons why you don't come back."

"First of all, we consider the most ideal situation of returning to Yuersen, that is, we succeed in returning to assisting Yurson, and we can count as 8,000 people if we rescued the army of knights, and then we will have about 12,000 people left after joining forces. , then the outcome of this chivalry war is that the left army is completely wiped out, the central army suffered heavy losses, and the remaining 10,000 knight army retreated from the forest and returned to their principalities to rest."

"More than 20,000 corpses will become a delicious meal and sacrifice for the Beastmen. After achieving so many victories, these creatures will be generously bestowed by the God of Chaos. They can breed wildly without any scruples. This year, the knights can retreat successfully. , keep a little vitality, and the scale of the beast tide next year will be unprecedentedly large."

"Everyone, please remember that this is the most ideal result. We didn't consider whether we were ambushed during the three-day march, or how much combat power the Beastmen army still had, and we didn't consider whether the knight army could last for three days."

When Ryan said this, everyone realized the seriousness of the matter. Yes, in the most ideal situation, even if the army of chivalry is rescued, has this war been won?

No, fiasco.

"But we can't ignore the friendly army's request for help. It's not in line with the morality of knights." The Marquis Connery said hesitantly. This Marquis is not good at military formations, but is better at management and politics. Te was injured in the battle a few days ago, and today he is very well: "This is disobedience to orders, and knights must obey orders."

"We did not disobey the order. The goal of the Chivalry War is to destroy the Demon Rock. We are advancing step by step according to this goal. On the contrary, if we return to help, this war will really fail!" Ryan gritted his teeth , explained immediately.

The Marquis of Connery stopped talking, so Ryan took the opportunity to continue: "The Demon Rock must be destroyed! Only if the Demon Rock is destroyed, the Beastmen will lose their faith core and totem, and the angry God of Chaos will attack these Chaos creatures Punishment, even if they won the victory against the knightly army? The core of faith was destroyed, the camp was reduced to ruins, and it was difficult for the beastmen to recover in a few years. It is very difficult to establish a new Wanmo Rock. The knights can take advantage of this opportunity to recuperate, and the strategic goal of this chivalry war has been achieved."

"If we can destroy the Wanmo Rock, we have still accomplished the goal of this war. After paying so many sacrifices, we must win this war."

"And now is a good time to destroy the Demon Rock," Ryan pointed his finger at the place where they are now stationed, which is already deep in the forest: "Combining the intelligence of the scouts and the Marquis of Anxi, we can know that the guards The elite troops of Wanmoyan have been taken away by the screaming shaman, Wanmoyan is not far away, the Beastmen must have hidden it nearby, and now is an excellent opportunity to attack Wanmoyan."

"However, if this is the case, we will abandon the army of chivalry with 10,000 people. Such a sacrifice is to destroy the Wanmo Rock. Is it worth it?" Suria said worriedly. I really don't understand.

"After sacrificing more than 20,000 people, retreating in vain, allowing the Beastmen to win an epic victory, leaving endless disasters for the future, or sacrificing 30,000 people to win a tragic victory, making the victory of the Beastmen useless. Meaning, Suria, how would you choose?" Ryan retorted, and the Holy Grail Knight's eyes were full of calmness: "Sacrifice is the cornerstone of human beings standing on this land. The knights shed too much blood. We paid It's too much, and it's time for the Beastmen to pay."

Ryan knew he was likely to face consequences for his decisions, but so what? He doesn't care, Ryan forced himself to tell himself that he doesn't care, there is always something more important, that is the long-term future, that is the safety of the country, and he still has a hole card.

"I have no objection." Julius agreed. The rejection of the previous request for help made a deep impression on the knight of the kingdom. After weighing it up, he also knew that in the long run, this was the right choice.

"The war has reached this point, we must not back down, otherwise the beast tide next year will overwhelm the entire country, Lord Ryan, I support you." Gabriel, the most experienced knight in the kingdom, also nodded.

"ready to go!"

The Holy Grail Knight's gaze was unprecedentedly firm. He immediately gathered the knights, and then announced his decision: "We will not go back to support the chivalry army. Instead, we will continue to march and go straight to the Demon Rock. It's really about saving the country, not the army in the forest."

"But" hesitation appeared on the faces of many knights. Out of knightly morality, they felt that they should rescue the knightly army.

"No but! My soldiers, more than 20,000 people have buried their bones in this forest, and countless loyal knights have fallen, but I ask you, what is the goal of our chivalry war? Ryan said aloud, fire in his eyes, his expression grim as a stone on a cliff.

"Destroy the Demon Rock!" the knights roared loudly.

"Exactly, if the Wanmo Rock cannot be destroyed, next year, an unprecedented wave of beastmen and beasts will sweep across the entire kingdom. Your hometown will be plundered, and your relatives will be in danger. After killing more than 20,000 human soldiers and After the knights, the wild beasts will be able to breed and advance unscrupulously. These beasts can give birth to more than a dozen! They can reach adulthood in three to six months. They can eat our corpses and sacrifice our souls. This forest is rampant, and there will be no creatures to stop them in the future!" Ryan stood in front of all the knights and said solemnly: "I can tell you that the army of chivalry has failed. In the dark forest, only We are left, the hope of destroying the Wanmo Rock falls on us, the hope of protecting the entire kingdom falls on us!"

"Are you willing to follow me, go straight to the Demon Rock, completely destroy the lairs of these chaotic bastards, destroy the totems of the Necrosis of the Earth, and dedicate the victory to the lady, to Brittania?" Ryan held up Raised the warhammer and roared loudly.

Cavaliers are silent, they have realized the seriousness of the problem.

The first knight-errant came out and shouted: "We will follow you, Lord Lane!"

"Yes! We do!"

"Please order! Your Excellency Ryan!"

"It was you who brought us victory!"

"Please give the order!"

"Ryan! Ryan! Ryan! Ryan!" The knights shouted, and the sound shook the forest: "Please order!"

"For the lady! For Britannia! My soldiers, are you willing to take this last journey with me? We will go straight to the stronghold of the Beastmen! Destroy the Demon Rock! Tell me, my soldiers, Would you like it?" Ryan yelled.

"We are willing! We are willing!" The knights shouted with the most passionate voice, the beastmen will pay the price for their atrocities!

"For the lady! For Britannia!"

"Toot, toot, toot..." At this moment, there was a sound of horns outside the camp on the right.

Ryan turned his head, his eyes narrowed.

The sound of the horn is clear and loud, and the sound is long and full of vitality.

This is not the horn of the Beastmen!

Are there other troops in the forest?

Updated, late, please forgive me, go to the World Cup
