"Why not pursue!" With red eyes, Bunn rushed over and reached out to grab Sean's skirt.
Alfred reached out and squeezed Bon's hand. No matter how hard he struggled, it didn't help. With a gentle push, Bonn, who had exhausted almost all his strength, immediately fell to the ground. For a time, he couldn't get up. There was no commander willing to help them. Almost everyone was distracted and just sat on the ground to rest. Only more than 130 people brought by Sean were responsible for helping treat the wounded.
"Look at your army. It's already like this. Do you still want to pursue?" Sean sneered, with his disdain on his face. "Do you know where the other party's Archer troops are hidden? How do you know that the other party has not prepared another ambush? "
The two questions, however, made bonne look stunned and didn't know what to respond. He glanced back at his troops. The casualties were terrible. More than three-quarters of the bodies left on the battlefield belonged to him. Only in the first arrow rain and shooting, the archer troops were almost lost, and then when the enemy launched an assault, the war situation was really upside down.
In less than 20 minutes, the front-line troops were completely defeated and all 50 long Gunners were killed. If it were not for the other side's encirclement and preparation for the total annihilation of their own side, the surviving people would not even fight back. But when they first entered the forest, they still had the spring and autumn dream of annihilating the other side, and even arranged a cavalry force to hunt down those fleeing enemies.
But the result
Bonne's face was blank.
Sean's face was even worse at the sight of Bonn.
He knows that in this world, many are ordinary people who do nothing, just like Arnold and Alfred. They have to sell their dignity and labor in order to survive. Alfred is better. He has pride, strength and potential. Most of them are people who suffer from discrimination like Arnold. Talents like Cecilia and William are only a few in this world. They can't represent the public at all, because individual cases are not qualified to be compared.
However, even ordinary people like Alfred and Arnold know where their strength limit is, and they will never be blindly confident.
Sean has always believed that although the world is composed of ordinary people, professional things should be handled by professional people. If you can't become a professional, just follow the advice of professionals. So when William joined his team, he would hand over all matters such as war command to William. Even if he wanted to become a lord in the future, he would be happy to be a small soldier instead of blindly directing.
But Bonn's situation was different. He was a commander with little ability, but he thought his command ability was excellent and even had to be ambitious. Once things are completely different from the development he expected, he will become irritable and anxious, and even completely lose his analytical ability. In fact, people like this are not suitable to serve as commanders from the beginning, let alone important positions such as commander-in-chief.
"What about your commander in chief?" Sean glanced at the battlefield and didn't find the arrogant commander-in-chief.
He knew that there were three commanders in Loveland's garrison. One was the General Commander and the other two were Deputy commanders. Bonn was one of the two deputy commanders. Before entering the forest, the General Commander and Bonn led the team, and the other deputy commander was responsible for leading the light cavalry force. Now he was still waiting outside the forest. Poor him. He didn't know that his confident army had ushered in a complete defeat.
At this time, Bonn was stunned when he heard Sean's words, and then said sadly: "the General Commander... Is dead. He led the soldiers to take charge of the post-mortem and let us take the opportunity to leave, but... "
Sean was silent when he heard what Bonn said.
Although he didn't like the arrogant commander in chief, he also knew that his strength was the strongest in the garrison, so it was natural for him to stay in charge of breaking the rear. However, a natural thing doesn't mean that everyone will do it, but the commander-in-chief did so in order to leave time for his colleagues to retreat and escape. From this point alone, even if Sean doesn't like the commander-in-chief anymore, he will admire him.
This has nothing to do with personal emotions, positions and camps, but only out of gratitude to soldiers. Just like Ann Nuo, although he spoke for a meal, in the final analysis, he was still for the future of the whole tribe. However, it was precisely because of his little cunning that Ann Nuo looked cute. This is a kind of real selflessness and loyalty, and it is also the reason why Sean thinks ANN Nuo is very important.
"Prepare to retreat." William suddenly opened his mouth and said, "the other party knows that we are on guard. They will certainly launch a new round of attacks on us after reorganizing the army It is conservatively estimated that at least the other side has a military strength of nearly 500, and it is still at the level of the regular army. It is not something you recruits can cope with. "
The so-called regular army is a three-level army, which already has at least one advantage. Sean saw that the other side was advancing and retreating orderly in the forest. He guessed that the other side's advantage should be "mountain forest advantage", so it is likely to be a mountain army. Fighting with such an army in the forest terrain is suicide. This is not only because the combat effectiveness of the roflan garrison is too poor, but also Sean's current team is only more than 130 people, It is also a secondary army, which is not comparable at all.
But as soon as Bonn heard that he was going to retreat, he blew up immediately.
"Retreat, no, you can't retreat!" Bonn shouted, "the building materials have not been taken back, and the other party has killed so many of us. How can we not repay this revenge! By the way, and... The son of the city Lord was also caught by the other party. We...... "
"You still have expectations for those who have been arrested?" Sean coldly interrupted Bonn's words, "we've seen the valley just now. There's no sign of living people in it. It's obviously killed by abnormal means, and there's an extremely strong smell of darkness left. Don't expect to save people. As for chasing the other party, this kind of thing is even more impossible. The other party's military strength surpasses us too much. Chasing is just to die. We won't do this. "
"No! You must go! " Bonne continued.
"We are not your subordinates, nor are we subordinates of your rofran garrison. We have no responsibility or obligation to pursue each other."
"Aren't you mercenaries? You... "
"According to the agreement of the contract, we have completed what we should do." William took out the contract from him and threw it to Bonn. This contract was not false. It was indeed signed by Sean and Sir Paro before. "It is you who are responsible for investigating the whereabouts of your lost goods and fighting with you. You are the main force of the battle, but now you have been completely defeated, so we don't need to be dragged into the water by you And the content of the contract is one-off. In other words, we have no obligation to help you know until you win. "
William said indifferently, the battlefield treatment work has been almost finished, and the rest are bodies. They have no time to clean the battlefield. From the situation just now, he has judged that the other party's commander is a very acute person. Such people are likely to attack again immediately after a short rest, and this time will definitely be an attack with all their strength.
"Let's sign another contract!" Bonne was not stupid enough to become an idiot. At least he knew some rules of the mercenary Corps.
William turned his head and looked at Sean. Although he was the commander-in-chief of steel wings, and Sean had recognized his identity and status, he was not a lord after all, and their team was also a mercenary rather than a noble private army, so he naturally had no decision-making power. This kind of problem can only be dealt with by Sean, and William still knows it clearly.
But Sean didn't reply immediately, but looked at William and made a look quietly. He simply meant whether the battle could be won under the current circumstances.
William shook his head.
"I refuse." Since even William said it was impossible to win, there was no way to fight this battle, and the benefits of this entrustment had been squeezed. If it continued, the investment and return were completely out of proportion. Of course, Sean didn't mean to continue to accept the entrustment.
"You dare to refuse. Don't you want a wind review?"
Risk evaluation is an important criterion for judging a mercenary Corps. Some evaluations like the reputation and honor of adventure teams and mercenaries can also be regarded as a symbol of strength. The higher the rating, the more famous the mercenary Corps is, and the more people come to the door, which is extremely beneficial to the development of a mercenary Corps. Therefore, for some big mercenary corps, being "kidnapped by the rating" can only admit bad luck.
However, Sean's team is not a real mercenary Corps. How could he care about wind review? Even from the beginning to the end, he didn't say the name of his mercenary regiment, nor did he register in the mercenary organization. He was completely a black family.
"You can say what you like about the wind review. It has nothing to do with me." Sean replied lazily, "anyway, I won't accept this entrustment By the way, I kindly remind you that you can't cope with the enemy army. You'd better hurry to ask your Lord for help, otherwise your territory will be destroyed when there are more problems in the future. "
After that, Sean gave William a look. William immediately understood it and began to give orders. The troops began to retreat towards the southern battlefield. They had to pick up the bodies there, and then went back to the city to see the injuries of Anna and others( To be continued.
