Chapter 48 Victory Settlement

Outside the woods, the battle raged on.

Charlie truly deserves his title as the Knight of the Flame.

As the most powerful Extreme Knight, he successfully broke through the Wolf Chieftain's left flank in the Knights' first charge, killing dozens of Wolf Chieftain soldiers.

The Flaming Lance pierced the enemy's chest with the swiftness of paper, and flames erupted from the enemy ranks.

The wolf chieftain's soldiers were so frightened that they hurriedly hid and dared not face his charge.

However, the situation for the other knightly orders is not so good.

Their strength was insufficient to break through the enemy lines, and after their charge was thwarted, they became trapped among the vast enemy army.

After derailing from the serf soldiers, hundreds of cavalrymen were surrounded by the enemy.

Curved swords and stone axes came hacking at us from all directions.

Even ants can kill an elephant if they are numerous, let alone these ferocious wolf chieftain soldiers, not just anyone can be equipped with knight-level armor.

Cavalrymen were constantly being shot down, dying under a hail of blades amidst their unwilling cries of agony.

Barbarian wars differed from noble wars within a kingdom.

They don't care about knights being taken prisoner or ransoms; without resistance, there is only death!

The Knights' situation worsened, but they managed to hold out until the infantry arrived.

As the serf soldiers plunged into the battlefield, their sheer numbers successfully disrupted the situation.

Rhodes was on the right side of the battlefield, constantly drawing his bow and shooting arrows.

Arrows flew into the wolf chieftain's army, accurately hitting their targets thanks to the vision enhanced by the Eye of True Sight.

On the battlefield, the wolf riders had just successfully knocked a knight off his horse and were preparing to finish him off.

The Ironback Black Wolf beneath him suddenly bristled and lunged to the other side to evade the attack.

The next second, accompanied by a low groan, blood splattered.

Seeing that the arrow only pierced the wolf rider's right shoulder, Rhodes was not discouraged.

The knight, having returned to the protection of the Order, looked at him gratefully.

If it were a duel between knights among the kingdom's nobles.

Even in war, Rhodes's act of stabbing someone in the back would most likely be criticized as lacking chivalry.

But for those knights who almost met their heavenly father, no one would care about that.

On the contrary, they wished that Rhodes would pay more attention to their own battlefield.

They are noble knights of the kingdom, why should they talk about morality with these barbarians!

With his shots hitting the target repeatedly, Rhodes was definitely having a blast shooting here.

However, his numerous victories against the wolf riders quickly attracted the attention of the enemy.

"Take down that archer!"

In the wolf chieftain's army, a majestic man wearing a wolf-head hat pointed at Rhodes.

He was angrily shouting at his men.

No fewer than ten wolf riders have been killed or wounded, threatened by that archer, which has made him unable to tolerate it any longer!

Hundreds of wolf chieftain soldiers gathered and charged towards Rhodes, led by five wolf riders.

The soldiers threw their spears, and then the shield and spear formation in front clashed with the enemy.

The spear pierced the enemy's leather armor, tearing out his hot intestines along with blood.

Rhodes and his knight squires nocked their longbows and aimed at the five wolf riders.

Even with the Iron-Spine Black Wolf's agility and evasion, three wolf riders were shot through during the charge.

The remaining two didn't need Rhodes to lift a finger; Holmes and Loren, standing beside him, drew their swords and blocked their attack.

As one precious wolf rider after another died, the man in the wolf hat at the head turned pale.

Realizing they had lost the advantage of a surprise attack, they knew the tide had turned.

He gritted his teeth and gave the order to retreat.

Upon hearing the horn, the wolf riders followed the man and turned to run.

With their leader gone, the remaining wolf chieftain soldiers had no courage to fight and scattered in panic.

Seeing the enemy retreat, the knights of the alliance finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"We won!" Charlie breathed heavily, hot air billowing from his nostrils, unable to hide his excitement.

The individual soldiers of the Wolf Chieftain are quite skilled, especially the wolf riders.

Even without battle formations, it's still difficult to kill.

After piercing through dozens of people, even as an Extreme Knight, he was already physically and mentally exhausted.

No matter how powerful the enemy is, you will be the victor!

Charlie spread his arms and laughed as he shared the victory with everyone in the league, thinking that his position as the leader was now secure.

The enemy retreated, but no one suggested pursuing them.

One by one, the knights dismounted from their warhorses, gathered their knightly members, and sat down to rest, exhausted.

The crowd waved in response to Charlie.

After confirming that the enemy had indeed left, Rhodes took off his armor and massaged his arms, which were sore from shooting arrows continuously.

"Report on casualties."

"My lord, the reserve force has suffered twelve dead, five seriously wounded, and twenty-three slightly wounded. The rest are unharmed," Holmes reported to Rhodes after inspecting the army's situation.

Thanks to the threat of the longbow and their relatively intact formation, his side did not suffer heavy casualties.

This made Rod relax a lot.

Compared to him, the situation of the other pioneer knights was much worse.

The core knightly order suffered heavy casualties, with more than half of the serf army already routed.

They actually disappeared into the wilderness along with the fleeing wolf chieftain soldiers!

The total number of corpses on both sides of the battlefield was far less than a thousand, but their troops were down by more than two thousand.

This is also why there was no pursuit.

More important than dealing with the enemy is finding their missing comrades.

This isn't the end of it; there's also the subsequent battlefield cleanup, distribution of spoils, and calculation of each party's merits.

A whole host of troubles await resolution.

Spoils of war and battle achievements are related to the interests of the entire team, and these things will only be exaggerated as much as possible by all parties.

If you're out of your mind and trying to be humble now, you'll just be waiting to be scorned by your own soldiers behind your back!

Rhodes' side was in a better position because the longbowmen's injuries were unique, and the movement traces of the shield-spearmen were obvious.

In addition, his skill as a sharpshooter on the battlefield earned him the respect of the alliance members, and they didn't argue with him much.

There's only one sharpshooter in the team. If we anger him, he won't care what happens to our side in future battles.

As for the other knightly orders mixed together, that would be troublesome.

They're arguing non-stop right now.

As the temporary leader, Charlie wanted to appease the knights who had pledged allegiance while also trying to win over other knights in the alliance.

They wavered between the two sides and were unable to decide which side to prioritize.

Charlie's reputation had already improved considerably thanks to his outstanding performance on the battlefield.

I thought to myself, this guy dares to be the first to charge, his chivalry is truly genuine.

He is indeed strong enough, so it doesn't seem like he's unsuitable to be the leader.

But after everyone finished distributing the spoils and came out of the tent, most of them had a dark expression on their faces.

Rhodes followed the crowd out, covering his head in despair.

The Mayfield family's ancestors for eighteen generations have probably already been greeted by everyone present.

I wonder how the count will react when he finds out. I hope he won't be furious.

The performance of each pioneering knight was inevitably kept abreast of the kingdom's nobles, becoming a popular topic of conversation among the upper echelons.

Those who perform well are praised, bringing honor to their family; those who perform poorly...

Oh, I suppose I'm not really qualified to say that, given my own duchy of Rothdale.

Realizing that he wasn't the only one who could anger his father, Rod's opinion of Charlie suddenly improved considerably.

This alliance seems to be on its last legs.
