The speed of the rout of the Knights of the Star Flame can only be described as an "avalanche". And the resistance of the soldiers at the gate of the town is all the resistance of this day.

Since the dragons were leaderless, there was no effective battle at all. In all fairness, many of the middle and high-ranking officers of Starflame have experience in the military. But those low-level officers are almost a head. Although their knights also have the strength of a great sword master, they do have a big gap with the standards of officers, and in case of emergencies, they can't make decisions at all.

In other words, it might be okay to let them carry out the command. Let them order it themselves, it would be too difficult. Therefore, Higgins's adventure made the rookies of the Starflame Knights exposed.

In fact, even if it was a sneak attack, the performance of the Starflame Knights should not be so bad. Even if the elite of the black bandits are all out, and they fight a chaotic battle without any command, maybe the Starflame Knights will not suffer too much. After all, there are more than 30,000 of them, and their average strength is much higher than that of the bandits, and even the number of them is not too bad. So as long as you dare to fight, you can completely change the black bandit to a cripple.

However, the bad thing is that all those middle and high-ranking officers are attending the banquet. They found that the whole town was in chaos, and they were wearing ceremonial clothes, so they didn't have time to change their armor, so instead of wanting to return to their own troops to command, they chose to slip away. And those officers who relied on "donations" to become knights of the Holy See, who could not have the magic scrolls of "teleportation" or "flying"? And this escape made the Starflame Knights even more unmotivated.

After that, the bandits who had infiltrated the town were killing people and setting fires, and they saw a black line charging in the distance, which made Starflame's soldiers even more frightened. Once again, this shows their inexperience. On the battlefield, it is impossible to be calm at all, and the number of bandits is completely overestimated, thinking that there are hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands. Thereupon...... There's no need to be outnumbered!

And the final blow is even more ridiculous, because Starflame is - the Knights. Because of the fire and magical flames, the tens of thousands of war horses and thousands of demonic beasts in the camp were completely out of control. They are all running and trampling, and they have caused complete chaos.

Therefore, this day's battle, even Higgins felt that winning was a little unbelievable afterwards, because it was a completely crushing victory. The casualties of the bandits were almost negligible, and they captured a large amount of ordnance and materials of the Knights, especially the war horses.

What is even more tragic is that after the war, the black bandits only eliminated more than 3,000. It is worthy of being a powerful and firm Order of the Holy See. Almost all of them managed to escape, and very few even surrendered. But...... Afterwards, Starflame had a joke that most of the knights and soldiers fled back to their hometowns, and did not gather in the rear at all.

That's why, Joseph couldn't understand the situation at the front, because the defeat was simply too rapid. But on the other hand, Joseph's performance was even among the top few in the Starfire, after all, he did not flee home, but gathered more than a thousand knights and soldiers with mounts, and could still think of contacting the Marquis of Zhenma. You can even go to Skar City to report the news.

However, even if Joseph can win the gold medal in Starflame, it will still be useless? Dipu and the others are still confused, only knowing that Starflame has lost, but the specific situation is all a fog? How can they deal with this?

In the dead silence, the county guard René could only ask the two regimental commanders for their opinions: "What do you think, two?"

And the two immediately cried out: "My lord, the army of more than 80,000 people has been defeated, and our two regiments of nearly 10,000 people are useless? And I don't know what the situation is, so how can we send troops? If the black bandits come to attack the city of Skar again, then there will be no troops to defend the city." ”

"Gunmara-sama! The bandits defeated an entire Order of the Holy See, and wiped them out. With such combat effectiveness, our two regiments also delivered food in the past. The subordinate officer thinks that it is better to inquire clearly first, and he must also ask the military headquarters for help. We've already underestimated the strength of the bandits twice. And I suffered two big losses, so I can't be reckless anymore!"

René also felt his burnout. Since there are only two regiments left in Tomle County, and one of them is the direct pro-regiment of the county guard, and the other regiment is the city defense regiment of Skar City. If these two regiments really come together, Tomur County will be completely empty, and the bandits will be completely allowed to run rampant in the county.

And René is the county guard after all. It is also the responsibility to defend the land. To put it mildly, the front line was defeated, he could have no responsibility, anyway, there was the Marquis of Zhenma. But the loss of Thomrshire County, especially the loss of Skar City, is fully responsible, and he will definitely be beheaded and punished by the Empire. But...... Why did the Marquis of Zhenma send someone to ask for help? If the front line was defeated and he did not send reinforcements, he would inexplicably get into trouble, and the military department would definitely shirk its responsibility, and he would also be guilty. What a dilemma!

Unconsciously, René hated the Marquis of Zhenma, who was asking for help, and by the way, he also hated Joseph, who reported the news: "Paralysis! The benefits are all yours, but the trouble is thought of labor." When labor and management ......"

Thinking of this, René squinted at several county military assistants who were also present. With the mentality of dragging everyone into the water, he immediately smiled and saluted very politely: "What do you think, what do you think? Can you teach the juniors?"

Those military assistants were all old local officials of Zhishi. As mentioned earlier, the military commanders and military assistants of the Verona Empire are all fictitious titles, so when these few are ministers, the Empire gives them several such fictitious titles. Of course, not because they can fight, let alone because they have military merits. It's nothing more than that when these people become officials, with such a fictitious title, they can get an extra pension. In other words, this is used to improve the welfare of Zhishi.

And these people, because they are all locals, all the family lives in Skar City. So there was no doubt at all, so they replied like this: "Lord County Guard, according to the old man's observation, if the Marquis of Zhenma on the front line can stop the bandits, there are not many more than 10,000 people. If it really can't be stopped, as long as the adults can defend Skar City, even if the bandits enter the county, they will be restrained by Skar City. In other words, the erosion of this county is exchanged for the fact that the black bandits cannot enter the hinterland of the empire, and it is more possible for the empire to calmly mobilize a large army. In this way, you are the first merit, my lord!"

Obviously, these people are thinking about keeping their family's fortune in Skar City, who cares about the flood outside the city? )
