Chapter 354 The Difference Between a General and a General

With the loss of their general, and four of the five cha this war had become extremely slim for the enemy army

One of the people who had noticed this, was, of course, the fe the survivors of the eneainst Der and his troops, and now that the strongest warriors of her side had been killed, she knew that things would go progressively worse, until she would ulti with the rest

In herslowly started to take shape

While escaping the battlefield was not specifically prohibited, it was usually the last move that any of the hired warriors would rely on The reason for that was thatend Also, if planned poorly, an escape would create a ripple effect that would cause the rest of the army to fall into panic

Usually, when a faction reached that state, the first instinct that would appear on the minds of the survivors, would be to escape as well Unfortunately, that would cause for them to be chased, and ultimately end up in a more difficult position than they already were

The nu down fast, and the more she waited, the harder her escape would be So when everyone appeared to be focused in their individual fights, with the excuse of wanting to find a favorable spot from which she could use her bow froround like a monster's horn

Her movements attracted the attention of the men and women she had lead so far, which immediately became suspicious of her However, this suspicion disappeared thewith her bow, sendingarmy

What the soldiers hadn't noticed, was that while she was shooting multiple arrows per second, her ai the attention of any of the enemy warriors, which would be the first ones to notice if she tried to escape

While this method of survival could be considered cruel, to the warriors of Sand and Blood, it would appear to be completely normal Surrender did not exist in the Dominion of the War God, and if one wanted to survive a lost battle, the only choice they had was to make use of the fray to sneak away

As part of an arroups, anyone would have understood the logic behind this sort of reasoning, after all, none of them really wanted to die, and at some point, all of them would start to think the saht of it sooner than the other, was because her position allowed her to see the bigger picture of the battle, instead of focusing on the enemies around her

Confident that this wohting for a few

One by one, these warriors turned to look at their leading figure, and soon noticed that their leader had eneral and four of their five champions were dead, and her current leader had ran away

A few brave warriors, which had also been generals in the past and had been hired as warriors in this war due to their iht up as happening and tried to salvage the situation by taking the lead of this group of fighters But the lack of coordination a but worsen their situation

After a few , a few voices began to appear one after the other All of thee, which was, ”RETREAT!!”

In a matter of seconds, the enemy army went into full panic

Some of these warriors were unsure whether the order was valid or not, and therefore, kept fighting While some others had already prepared plans to escape the

Regardless of their initial reaction, sooner or later, all of the their back as they dashed out of the battlefield However, after only a few seconds, these escaping warriors noticed that so

The soldiers of Der's army seemed to lack the will to chase them, and the very ave chase for a second or two, then stopped, and allowed for theet away

Contrary to the wars that would take place in Sand and Blood, the wars that took place in the countries of Der's planet of origin were of a political nature Politics had never helped anybody in war, but what it gave, was a different perspective on the consequences of a war

In war, every single warrior was either a father, aany life in the battlefield would ultimately cause a risk for the relatives of the dead soldier to want to exact revenge against the people who had killed their loved one But most importantly, their loss would cause them pain, and unhappiness

That was the reason why it was so important to spare those ished to surrender Any unnecessary death, was a political and human mistake from multiple points of view, and Der was very aware of this

Once he had reached this planet, he had been forced to deal with its rules But it wasn't long before he was able to find a loophole The lax rules regarding escapees isted to its liether a sile warrior that had no more desire to battle

That plan consisted in a fake atte up soon after
