Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1617 Hit and Run
Shi Lei is not stupid. Although Blood Hand is not disabled after today's battle, he is not much worse off. If he fights Saint Laurent I again, he probably won't be able to last more than a few rounds.

Under this premise, their undead troops have lost their combat capability, and the Vajra Skeletons, like Bloody Hands, have become a spent force.

If he does not lead the team to evacuate now, once the fighting starts tomorrow, as long as Bloody Hand is defeated and Saint Laurent I loses his control, the Plain Fortress may not even survive tomorrow and will be breached by Saint Laurent's army.

When it is realized that the position cannot be held anyway, it is better to retreat appropriately rather than defending to the death, which at least preserves the troops and reduces the losses.

In fact, this has always been his final resort. He had begun to make relevant preparations since the first day that Saint Laurent's army launched the offensive.

As soon as they left, the Plain Fortress basically became an empty city.

Make sure nothing is left for the enemy except this empty shell!
Of course, in order to prevent Saint Laurent's side from discovering their actions, the harassment actions of the Giant Eagle Knights and the Boar Knights are still continuing, and they will withdraw before dawn, just like the previous few days.

Saint Laurent's side did not have any troops with night vision, but the Great Zhou did. This meant that after nightfall, they had no way of monitoring the Plain Fortress, and the Great Zhou had the upper hand throughout the entire process.

There was no conversation that night. People in the camp of Saint Laurent's army could not say that they slept well, but after being harassed for several days in a row, the soldiers of Saint Laurent's army had become more or less accustomed to it.

Or to put it simply, they were just too tired. Many soldiers were so tired that they fainted and could not be awakened even by thunder.

This unexpectedly allowed some of Saint Laurent's soldiers to get a certain amount of rest.

The next morning, Saint Laurent I did not delay and continued his offensive mode of the past few days, advancing towards the direction of the Plain Fortress.

Because he knew very well that under this harassment mode, the longer it dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for them.

However, when their army advanced to the outside of the Plain Fortress, Marshal Adolf frowned at the empty land outside the fortress and soon realized something was wrong.

Normally at this time, the border defense army led by Shi Lei should have deployed their battle formation outside the fortress and be ready for battle.

There was no need for Marshal Adolf to say anything. Saint Laurent I, who also realized that something was wrong, turned into a ray of white light and flew to the top of the wall of the fortress.

Then, looking at the deserted fortress, Saint Laurent I stood on the wall, looking completely disheveled.

"Fuck Fuck!"

After I came to my senses, I couldn't help but swear on the spot.

The guys on the other side actually abandoned the border fortress and ran away overnight? !
After days of high-intensity fighting, with no rest during the day and sleepless nights, Saint Laurent I is now like a powder keg that can explode at any time. He is just waiting to blow up the opponent hard today and give his violent emotions a thorough vent.

And now, the reality before him is equivalent to telling him, want to blow it up? No way!
How could Saint Laurent I, who had endured for so long, accept this?

Saint Laurent I, who was filled with rage and had nowhere to vent, simply turned around and kicked the wall, breaking it into pieces.

At the same time, Marshal Adolf, who was standing in the distance, watched Saint Laurent I's reaction on the wall from afar, and he had a rough idea of ​​the current situation.

To be honest, hasn't he ever thought about the situation that the garrison troops at the Plain Fortress would abandon the fortress and evacuate directly when they saw that the situation was not good?
Of course he thought about it.

But they can't handle this situation.

Even if he said it, it would only make their Majesty more upset, so it would be better not to say it.

And if we think optimistically, they have at least taken down the Plains Fortress. The enemy retreated to the rear city, and their purpose was nothing more than to delay time, but the defense level of the rear city would definitely not be as high as this border fortress!
The previous loss at Copperforge made Saint Laurent's army somewhat suspicious of the plain fortress in front of them.

Saint Laurent I was a man of great skill and courage. After calming down a little, he jumped off the wall to confirm.

After confirming that there were indeed no traps in the fortress, the fortress gate was opened directly from the inside to allow Saint Laurent's army to enter quickly.

[The troops at the Plains Fortress most likely withdrew as soon as it got dark. We will definitely not be able to catch up with them now...]

However, even so, Marshal Adolf had no intention of resting in the Plain Fortress for a few days.

Just like what was mentioned before, the purpose of the opponent's action is to delay time. If they rest for a few more days now, wouldn't that be fulfilling the opponent's wish?

When Marshal Adolf thought of this, he immediately sent out 3,000 cavalry troops to pursue.

The main force began to advance after a brief rest.

During this period, Shi Lei did everything without lagging behind.

The 3,000 Saint Laurent cavalrymen who launched the pursuit first were attacked by the Boar Riders that night!

That’s right, this is no longer harassment, but a serious attack!
One thousand Boar Knights faced off against three thousand Saint Laurent Cavalry. The two sides had a huge disparity in strength, but the night vision brought a huge advantage to the Boar Knights.

The hatred that the Boar Riders had suppressed for so long was finally vented at this moment.

"Kill!!!"

Amid roars, the boar riders swung their dwarf axes, demonstrating astonishing killing power.

However, they did not linger in the battle. Although they wanted to kill all the 3,000 Saint Roland Knights, the leading dwarf officer knew that this was unrealistic.

Marshal Adolf is not a fool and will not forget the existence of the Boar Knight.

Among the three thousand Saint Laurent cavalry, he specially arranged a strong man in the Vajra Realm to lead the team. He was the general who was responsible for beating the drum during the first day of the attack.

Just as he had recovered some strength, Marshal Adolf drove him out to work.

This also shows that the battle was not easy for Saint Laurent's army.

Although Vajra Realm warriors do not have night vision, they have sharp senses and possess quite good combat capabilities at night.

In this kind of small-scale armed conflict, the value of a Vajra Realm warrior is enormous even if he is not in peak condition.

While the Boar Knights continued to kill the Knight of Saint Laurent, this Vajra Realm general also moved swiftly, killing the invading Boar Knights one by one with his sword.

It would be of no benefit for them to fight with the Knights of Saint Laurent here and suffer mutual losses.

The Boar Knight, knowing this, decided to quit while he was ahead. After two simple charges, he immediately rode away, not afraid of being pursued by the Knight of Saint Laurent.
