Chapter 48 Victory Settlement
Outside the woods, the fighting on the battlefield became increasingly intense.

Charlie is worthy of his title of Fireheart Knight.

As the most powerful Extreme Knight, in the first round of charge by the Knights, he successfully broke through the left wing of the Wolf Chief's army and killed dozens of Wolf Chief's soldiers.

The Flame Lance pierced the enemy's chest as neatly as through paper, and raging flames rose up among the enemy troops.

Countless Wolf Chief soldiers were so frightened that they hurriedly dodged and dared not face his charge.

But the situation of other knights is not good.

Their strength was not enough to break through the enemy, and their charge was blocked and they were trapped in the vast enemy army.

After falling out of line with the peasant soldiers, hundreds of cavalrymen were surrounded by the enemy.

Scimitars and stone axes came from all directions.

Even a large number of ants can kill an elephant, let alone these ferocious wolf chief soldiers, not all of whom can be equipped with knight-level armor.

Cavalrymen were constantly shot down and died under the swords with unwilling cries.

Barbarian wars are different from noble wars within a kingdom.

They don't care about captured knights and ransom. If they lose resistance, they will die!
The Knights' situation became increasingly worse, but fortunately they held out until the infantry arrived.

As the serf soldiers rushed into the battlefield, they successfully disrupted the situation with their large numbers.

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

Arrows shot into the Wolf Chief's army, and with the help of the Eye of True Vision, they hit the target accurately.

On the battlefield, the wolf cavalry had successfully knocked a knight off his horse and was preparing to finish him off.

The iron-backed black wolf beneath him suddenly raised its hair and leaped to the other side to avoid 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.

Because the knight had returned to the protection of the Knights Templar and was looking at him with gratitude.

If it is a knight duel between the kingdom's nobles.

Even in war, Rhode's behavior of stabbing someone in the back would most likely be accused of lacking chivalry.

But for these knights who were almost going to meet God the Father, no one would care about this.

Instead, he wished that Rhodes would pay more attention to the battlefield on his side.

They are noble knights of the kingdom, why should they talk about morality with these barbarians!
Rhodes really enjoyed shooting here as he kept hitting the target.

However, his repeated record of inflicting heavy losses on the Wolf Cavalry soon attracted the enemy's attention.

"Kill that archer!"

In the Wolf Chief's army, a mighty man wearing a wolf-head hat pointed at Rhodes.

He was shouting angrily at his men.

There were already no less than ten wolf riders, either dead or injured, threatened by the archer, which made him unable to tolerate it any longer!

Hundreds of Wolf Chief soldiers gathered and rushed towards Rhodes under the leadership of five Wolf Riders.

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

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

Rhodes and his knights drew their longbows and aimed at the five wolf riders.

Even though the Iron-Backed Black Wolves dodged and moved, three wolf riders were shot during the charge.

There was no need for Rhodes to take action against the remaining two people. Holmes and Loren beside him drew their swords and stepped forward to block their attacks.

Seeing the precious wolf cavalrymen die one after another, the man in the wolf hat who was leading the group turned pale.

After realizing that they had lost the advantage of sneak attack, the situation was already hopeless.

He gritted his teeth and gave the order to retreat.

The wolf cavalry heard the horn, followed the man's pace and turned around to run.

After losing their backbone, the remaining Wolf Chief soldiers no longer had the courage to fight and fled in all directions in panic.

After seeing the enemy retreat, the knights of the alliance finally breathed a sigh of relief. "We won!" Charlie breathed rapidly, hot air coming out of his nostrils, but he couldn't hide his excitement.

The individual quality of the Wolf Chief's soldiers is not weak, especially the wolf cavalry among them.

Even without a battle formation, it is still difficult to kill.

After stabbing dozens of people in a row, even as an extreme knight, he was already exhausted both physically and mentally.

But no matter how powerful the enemy is, you are the winner!
Charlie opened his arms and laughed as he shared his victory with everyone in the alliance, thinking that his position as the boss was now secure.

The enemy retreated, but no one suggested pursuing them.

One by one, the knights jumped off their horses, gathered their fellow knights, and sat on the ground to rest tiredly.

Everyone waved in response to Charlie.

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

"Report casualties."

"Sir, there are twelve dead in the reserve army, five seriously injured, twenty-three slightly injured, and the rest are unharmed." Holmes reported to Rhodes after checking the situation of the army.

Thanks to the threat of the longbow and the relatively intact formation, the casualties on his side were not serious.

This made Rhodes relax a lot.

Compared to him, the situation of other pioneering knights is much worse.

A small number of the core knights suffered casualties, and more than half of the serf army had been routed.

He actually followed the fleeing Wolf Chief soldiers and disappeared into the wilderness!
The total number of bodies of both the enemy and our side on the battlefield was far less than a thousand, but their team was missing more than two thousand people.

This is also the reason why there was no pursuit.

Rather than looking for the enemy, the knights on all sides now need to find their missing people first.

This is not the end yet. There is still the subsequent cleaning of the battlefield, distribution of spoils, calculation of each party’s military merits, etc.

There are a lot of troubles waiting to be solved.

The spoils of war and military exploits are related to the interests of the entire team, and these things will only be exaggerated as much as possible by all parties.

You are crazy and you are trying to be humble at this time. Just prepare to be looked down upon by your own soldiers behind your back!

Rhodes's side was relatively good because the longbow's injuries were unique and the shield and spear soldiers' movement traces were obvious.

In addition, he demonstrated his strength as an archer on the battlefield and was respected by everyone in the alliance, so there was no reason to argue with him.

There is only one archer in the team. If we make him mad, what will we do if he doesn't care about our side in future battles?
As for the other knightly orders mixed in, that would be troublesome.

There is a constant quarrel now.

But Charles, as the temporary leader, wanted to appease the knights who had surrendered to him and win over other knights of the alliance.

The two sides wavered and could not decide which side was more important.

Originally, thanks to his outstanding performance on the battlefield, everyone had a higher recognition of Charlie.

I thought to myself that this guy dared to charge first, his chivalry is real.

His strength is indeed strong enough, so it seems possible for him to be the boss.

But after everyone distributed the spoils of battle and walked out of the tents, most of them had very dark faces.

Rhodes followed the crowd out, covering his head helplessly.

I'm afraid that the Mayfield family's eighteen generations have all been greeted by everyone present.

I don’t know how the earl will react when he finds out. I hope he won’t get too angry.

The performance of each pioneering knight must have been constantly known by the nobles of the kingdom behind them, and was widely circulated as a popular topic of conversation in the upper circles.

Those who perform well are praised, which brings honor to the family, while those who perform poorly...
Oh, it seems that I, the Rosedale of this principality, am not qualified to say that.

After thinking that he was not the only one who made his father angry, Rhodes suddenly had a better impression of Charlie.

It's this alliance, and it seems to be doomed.
