Chapter 175 Counterattack
And the fact is exactly as Roland thought.
A few soldiers fighting alone cannot defeat Roland's army.
Moreover, not all of Roland's 7,000 soldiers are knight squires. There are also first-level knights. Currently, there are fifteen first-level knights. In terms of numbers, Roland has an absolute advantage.
In addition, in terms of equipment, the equipment made of golden bark also gives them an advantage in equipment. In terms of techniques, although they will have less, their techniques are the same, and the power they can burst out when combined will not be bad.
The opponent has no advantages except for a second-level knight.
With this advantage, the soldiers who wanted to break through and escape didn't even last a minute before they were taken down by the surging golden waves.
A war that was a complete crushing victory has ended.
More than a thousand enemies were killed, more than three thousand were captured, and all the enemy's extraordinary knights were also captured.
On Roland's side, except for a few who were unlucky and were hit in the face by the second-level knight's techniques, were knocked away, and had several holes on their bodies and suffered some injuries, the rest of the soldiers were basically unharmed.
The defensive power of the equipment Roland provided them was too strong for this era. Ordinary swords and knives could not leave even a trace on it. Even for extraordinary people, ordinary slashing was useless. Only skills could cause damage.
Roland was a little surprised by this result. He had thought that the extraordinary knight on the opposite side could kill a few of his soldiers if he fought desperately.
As a result, when he came over and was ready to revive and bring the people back, he learned the specific results of the battle from the officers.
It's ridiculous that no one died in the battle.
Where did these knights come from? They surrendered without any results.
Roland sat on a relatively intact chair in the camp, looking expressionlessly at the tied-up enemy knight in front of him. On both sides of the tent, six first-level knights stood beside him in full armor, staring at them with eager eyes.
Outside the tent, the soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield and collecting prisoners, and there was some noise, but inside the tent, there was an eerie silence.
Originally, he was planning to look through their souls after death, but who knew that they were so cowardly that they just surrendered.
However, since they surrendered, Roland couldn't just kill them and extract their souls, so he planned to torture them. But there was only one problem: Roland was not good at speaking, let alone torture.
After a moment of silence, Roland looked at the knight in front of him who had already begun to sweat, and felt a little bored.
Forget it, he doesn't know how to torture or anything like that. Bewitching spells are risky, so he might as well just extract the soul directly. At worst he'll just have to be careful.
Moreover, even if it is accidentally damaged, with the knight's self-healing ability, it will be able to recover on its own in a month or two.
Thinking of this, Roland met their gazes and with a mental disturbance, knocked them all to the ground.
After they all fell to the ground, the First Order Knight close to Roland looked at him, made a gesture of wiping his neck, and said.
“Did they pull them all down and bury them?”
"Need not."
Roland shook his head and walked to the knight lying on the ground. Then, he pressed on the head of the only second-level knight, extended his mental power into him, and carefully explored his soul memory.
He took a quick glance at the previous memories of the second-level knight. There was nothing noteworthy. He was just a descendant of a knight born in a small manor. Roland directly focused on his memories of the past few months.
Through his memories of the past few months, Roland confirmed the invading force.
The one who attacked Roland was a small force in the south, which also occupied the city.
However, the area controlled by this small force is much larger than Roland's. In addition to a main city that is slightly larger than the original Old Qi, there is also a slightly smaller city, and it also controls more than a dozen towns of different sizes, as well as all the villages under these towns. Moreover, compared to the completely collapsed Old Qi City, which is almost unwanted and regarded as a negative asset, the area they control is much better. They can basically maintain basic order, and the output is relatively stable, which is a positive asset.
If we only consider the power on paper, the opponent is much stronger than Roland.
But Roland has the final say on Jiuqi's side, while the situation on the other side is much more complicated. The internal struggles can be clearly sensed through this second-level knight, and the obvious smell of gunpowder can be detected. It is impossible to concentrate on invading Roland.
The reason why there are so many militiamen among these thousands of soldiers is not because there are no extra ordinary soldiers, but because of internal struggles that prevent his superiors from mobilizing more soldiers for him.
Even if they could concentrate their forces to invade Roland, Roland would not be afraid.
At most, there would be a dozen more low-level knights and a few thousand more ordinary soldiers.
After understanding the general situation, Roland released his soul and withdrew his mental power.
Roland clapped his hands, stood up calmly, and said lightly.
"Take them all back to Jiuqi and lock them all up."
After saying that, Roland cast a spell into the bodies of every knight on the ground, sealing their power.
"Yes."
The first-level knights on the side responded in unison, and then took away all the knight captives who were lying on the ground.
After taking the knight prisoners away, the soldiers also sped up the pace of cleaning up the battlefield.
Since there was actually nothing worth taking away on the battlefield and there was a shortage of manpower, many things in the enemy camp were directly piled up and stored in the camp, and then people would be transferred from Jiuqi to move them back later.
After spending some time cleaning up the battlefield, Roland's army was divided into two parts.
On one side, 500 soldiers escorted all the prisoners back to Jiuqi to be used as labor. On the other side, Roland led all the remaining soldiers and fought back along the road the enemy came from.
While Roland was leading his army southward, on the other side of the area controlled by Roland, Hela also successfully put an end to the attacking enemies.
Standing in an open space, Hela calmly looked at the dejected captives thrown into the open space by the soldiers, and said coldly.
"Tell me, which force sent you here?"
Although the captives on the ground were dejected, they remained silent in response to Hela's questions.
"not talking?"
Hela walked up to them, grabbed one of them's head, and injected negative energy into it.
As negative energy was injected, the person Hela was holding began to tremble all over. Finally, he could no longer hold back and began to wail in pain.
"what!!!"
She would not search the soul directly like Roland did, so Hela could only choose a more troublesome operation.
On the side, a thousand soldiers in black armor watched Hela's actions calmly.
