Chapter 126 Confrontation Between the Two Armies 2 (2/2)
”But luckily, we are not alone.” General Robert smirked.
Then a flare fired up towards the sky with red smoke. The men of the west army's attention was caught for a second.
The shadows behind the trees around the area started to move. And then men in black uniform rushed out from the woods. They were not that many, more or less it consists of one platoon.
The men in black uniform attacked the men of the west army. The west army was caught of guard and many dropped dead on the ground with just the first attack.
”Regroup, form the lines!” General McGregor yelled orders.
The men of the west army listened to their commander and reformed the lines. They looked at the new comers who seemed to be fierce.
”Don't falter men. They are only one platoon, compared to our numbers!” General McGregor roared. ”Let them see how strong our west army is!”
”Yeah!” The men of the west army roared. With the reformed line, they started to charge.
”Aaahhhh!” The men on both group roared.
The clash of swords was once again heard, but now the tables have been turned. They didn't expect that the men in black uniform were good in fighting. They looked like the elite of the elite. With just one swing from the black uniformed man's sword, one soldier from the west army dropped dead.
Even with the big numbers of the men from the west army accompanying general McGregor, the men in black unifrom was overpowering them.
If you look at the men in black uniform, they have the skills of the royal knights and the extensive experience of soldiers in the battlefield combined. They are best of the best soldiers an army can ever 0have.
General McGregor looked at his men. Now that the tables have turned, the numbers of his men are decreasing fast. He looked at the men in black unifrom in disbelief and awe.
'If I have such an army at my disposal, I won't just stop in taking Alvannia. I can conquer the whole continet.' General McGregor thought.
After seeing that he was in such a disadvantage, he was now thinking of retreat.
”General, you better retreat to our camp.” One soldier that was defending the general said. ”You will be safe there. We will handle the enemies here.”
General McGregor nodded in agreement. A soldier gave him a horse and with just one step he mounted it.
”Go general, we will stop any pursuers in your way!” His men was faithful to general McGregor till the end. He looked at his men fighting a fight they cannot possibly win, just to let him escape.
General McGregor clenched his fists holding the reigns tightly. ”I won't forget your courage and loyalty to me.” He whispered to himself. ”Hiyah!”
General McGregor's horse galloped away thru the woods.
”General Robert, McGregor is escaping.” A knight informed general Robert and pointed to the horse entering the woods.
”We will pursue him after we are done here.” General Robert said without urgency.
”But general, what if he escapes?” The knight was shocked with general Robert's words.
”Do not worry. He has only one destination to go to.” General Robert said. ”I bet he will be in for a big surprise.”
The knight was confused with what the general said but still obeyed his orders.
