Chapter 237 - Dawn Attack (3) (1/2)

Lieutenant Kajo and the two sergeants were facing eight enemies. It was challenging to face eight enemies without a cleric. Moreover, the enemy had a cleric at their side.

Lieutenant Kajo and the two sergeants using a quick eye sign had agreed to retreat. Their surprise attack had failed. If they braved themselves and tried to fight against the enemy, it would be challenging to win against them. Even if they could win, they would not escape without any injuries.

However, their enemies were not some ordinary people or a villager, they were trained soldiers. As soon as Lieutenant Kajo and the two sergeants showed a sign to escape, they immediately chased them.

They spread out. However, the distance between each of the enemies was not too far. So, in case, Lieutenant Kajo and the sergeants tried to ambush them, the others could quickly support each other.

Unfortunately, there was a mage among the enemies. Moreover, it was the one who Lieutenant Kajo and the two sergeants failed to kill. The mage began to cast an [Earth Wall] to block the escape route.

It was proved to be effective. Although the wall quickly destroyed, it hindered the escape of Lieutenant Kajo's group and shortened the distance between them. The mage followed up the spell with a slow spell and targeted one of the sergeants who was the slowest among the three.

The sergeant, who was the slowest, became slower as the spell hit him. There was still quite some distance between them, but the gap was getting shorter and shorter. The three of them had already tried to use each of their movement speed skill.

Lieutenant Kajo and the other sergeant could leave. However, the sergeant who was hit by the slow spell would be left behind. They could not leave this one sergeant behind.

If the sergeant was left, it would be no doubt that he would be killed easily. Moreover, that sergeant was an archer. It would not take that much time to kill an archer with eight people. Lieutenant Kajo had to make a decision.

If he left behind the sergeant, the two of them could escape. However, if they did that, they would lose the sergeant. The sergeant's death would be no doubt degrade the army's morale. With low morale, what if they had to face the demonic monster.

Surely, most of the soldiers would have a shadow in their hearts and tried to desert. If there were only a few soldiers that decided to abandon, he could still control it. However, if most of the soldier desert from the battle, he could do nothing to prevent that.

Lieutenant Kajo looked at the other sergeant and nodded. The other sergeant knew what Lieutenant Kajo means. Lieutenant Kajo would stay behind and tried to buy them some time while he had to run back to the army and brought some reinforcements.

Lieutenant Kajo stopped his escape. He turned back and faced the enemies behind him. Then, he charged passed the archer who was nearly getting captured.
