With the belated main force of Byrne and the sunset in the red sky, the day''s battle came to an end.
In order to raid the supply team of the Centaur army without alerting the other party, only less than 1000 Hussars and a "Duke guard" of the half flag regiment were mobilized in this battle, plus 500 silver Armored Cavalry that Sarika insisted on bringing.
Although the reason why she did this needs to be studied, the final result proved that the decision was extremely correct.
Dwarf warriors with more than a thousand people... They fought very tenaciously, even after the front was torn apart, they were still fighting tenaciously. Even the charge of silver armor cavalry could not break their fighting will.
It can be said that without the charge of the silver cavalry, the only thing Loren and Sarika can do is to let the Hussars and Duke guards attack again and again against huge casualties.
They are sure to win in the end, but if a raid turns into a tragic scuffle, it is no different from failure.
The dwarves, although still completely annihilated, did the terrible act of "fighting to the last soldier"... So that they didn''t even catch a prisoner except 20 seriously wounded soldiers.
Even Byrne knights and imperial legions can''t find any army that can do this - even the elite of duanjie mountain should break up half of the dead unless there is a supervisor team or forced to a desperate situation.
This shocked Loren far more than any previous battle.
"This is the dwarf, the enemy who once ruled Byrne and fought with us for hundreds of years... Respectable and fearsome."
In the camp, Eckert stood behind Lauren, looked at the pile of bones beside the distant motorcade, and said silently, "even if they are down now, they are still a very terrible force."
"Stubborn, conservative, strong self-esteem, deep-rooted discipline and obedience... No one wants to fight this enemy."
It seemed that he didn''t think it was enough to express his meaning. Ike, with a heavy expression, repeated again: "no one."
As the sky darkened, the soldiers outside the camp had basically cleaned the battlefield and were ready to build a temporary camp for overnight stay.
"So... How did we defeat them?" Lauren asked, "how did the bain people drive them out of Bain and block them in the Yunling Kingdom among the mountains?"
"Iron and blood, will and faith, courage and determination." Eckert said faintly.
Loren was silent, chewing the words.
"The first to raise the flag was the bain people from the North - but their resistance soon failed. In front of the disciplined dwarf heavy regiment, the insurgents'' army can only be regarded as local chickens and dogs, and will be defeated in one charge." the count of fury Castle said:
"Among them, there is your ancestor, the ancestor of the Turin family."
Loren raised his eyebrows unnaturally and subconsciously avoided his sight.
"Although the war was a disastrous defeat, it set off a wave of uprising, and let the northern insurgents elect their own leaders - your ancestors, Turin is one of them." Eckert sighed slightly:
"In that war, he realized the biggest difference between the rebel army and the dwarf army, discipline and obedience."
The black haired wizard nodded, "what happened then? Did he win?"
Eckert shook his head and gave a negative answer.
"The ancestor of Turin... The great hero has been experiencing tragic defeat and flight all his life; his history is almost one of the darkest years of Bain. With the uprising, hundreds of thousands of Bain people were slaughtered on the battlefield or elsewhere."
"But the turbulent Byrne colony has made the internal affairs of the dwarves very unstable... Fifty years later, the second generation Turin finally took advantage of the opportunity of the civil strife of the dwarves to capture a dwarf fortress and have its own chassis."
Loren showed curious eyes: "red blood castle?"
"It''s a rock castle." Eckert gave a direct answer:
"The castle was originally intended to resist the attack of trolls. It was abandoned by dwarves after the civil war began - Turin, the second generation leading 20000 rebels, captured the fortress with only 600 dwarves after paying the price of thousands of deaths and injuries."
"Because this fortress has abundant supplies, various advanced dwarf facilities can provide weapons and equipment. The dead and wounded insurgents are blessed with steel forged armor and weapons for the first time."
"The heavy armor makes the dwarf''s crossbow and arrow no longer a nightmare of death;
The huge and bulky two handed sword was originally designed for trolls, but it is also a sharp weapon that can tear the dwarf array;
Heavy spear... Equipped with it, it can no longer be equipped with a shield, but the charge of the spear array can produce a devastating blow to both humans and dwarves. "
"Finally... Although the hope is still slim, the Byrne people have the opportunity to compete fairly with the dwarves on the battlefield for the first time."
Loren was fascinated.
"I guess... He still can''t beat the dwarf, can he?"
"Not only that, the second generation of Turin has been hit with revenge because of the successive capture of dwarf fortresses - go all out and still be completely destroyed."
"It is said that the dwarves killed all the prisoners, released only the youngest son of the second generation Turin and more than a dozen other children, returned to their hometown and spread the end of their father''s resistance to the whole Bain." Eckert sighed slightly:
"In the thirty-eight years since then, although the third generation of Turin is still organizing an uprising, the resistance has gradually disappeared - the land of Bain is full of blood and empty rooms, so it is no longer able to fight."
"Until a Byrne who is far away from his hometown returns to this land with his people - Anton Varna."
"The first generation of Warner family owners returned to Bain with horseback people in the green sea; the horses galloping the earth appeared on Bain''s land for the first time."
Loren nodded slightly and raised the corner of his mouth: "the fourth generation Turin... That is, the first generation Knight king?"
"Also the earliest Knight king whose name can be traced back, Uther." Ike nodded. "Varna helped Turin train Bain''s earliest Knight... The ''Knight'' wearing heavy armor and holding a long gun and sword has become the core of the rebel army."
"It is said that Uther Turin was also the first Turin favored by the female god of war brenhild... Uther united all the knights in her name and swore allegiance to him in front of the goddess."
"Of course, it''s hard to say whether it''s true - although the Boyi people once believed in female martial gods like us, after all... It''s only an ancient and primitive custom. No one knows what happened in those years."
Looking at Eckert''s expression of disbelief, Loren couldn''t help pumping the corners of his mouth and subconsciously touched the feather left by the female martial god in his arms.
Well... If you say so, it''s probably true.
"Discipline and obedience, steel weapons, horses... Finally, the Byrne found a way to defeat the dwarves." Eckert raised his eyes and looked brightly:
"If you want to defeat monsters, you have to learn monsters, and then... Become stronger than them!"
"Of course, the dawn of victory is still far away - after that, the war with the dwarves ran through almost the whole ancient kingdom of Byrne. After more than ten Knight kings, they were finally completely expelled from Byrne''s land in the first generation of the saxophone empire."
"Iron and blood, will and faith, courage and determination..." Eckert sighed:
"You asked how we defeated them?
That''s how we... Beat them. "
The cold wind at night rolled up the curtain of the tent, and Loren was silent.
"By the way, where''s Lucian?" Loren changed the subject: "the Duke guard... Haven''t they come back yet?"
"Your guard was pulled down by lusengo to clean the battlefield, mainly the supplies of the Centaur." Eckert frowned and said, "it is said that when he went to collect the Centaur''s baggage car, he found some strange things."
Strange things?
He raised his eyebrows. Before Lauren could ask what it was, he saw a bouncing figure rush into the tent:
"Oh, Lord Byrne, what is this? There is wine in the supplies of these barbarians!"
With an excited face, Sarika chirped and didn''t notice the expression of the black haired wizard looking at the transparent crystal bottle in her hand
Creepy -!!!!
