"The frontline army has been defeated!"
"General Avar is dead!"
"Marshal Nishizawa has been captured!"
"The forward troops of the Far Eastern Army have captured the city of Narak!"
The remnants of the Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Armies of the Skitarii came from the Krall Plain, the Lion River Valley, and the Kavos Mountains.
Seeing that the main army suffered a disastrous defeat, and after Marshal Caesar was captured, the three of them, which were beaten by the Far Eastern cavalry and could only shrink back in the city, had to retreat.
? At the beginning, officers at all levels were able to control their troops, but with the constant pursuit and attack of the Far East Army.
The troops of these three armies were like frightened birds, and soon turned into a major defeat.
Those young people who were forcibly recruited into the army were the first to flee. They took advantage of the night to camp, while the officers were not paying attention, and took advantage of every opportunity to escape when they went out to stand guard.
They knew that if they continued to stay in the army, they would probably die in the hands of the Far East Army just like what happened to the main force.
They still have their parents, their own wives and children. In the face of survival, their beliefs have also been shaken.
In the beginning, they ran away alone, but later developed into groups of deserters, although the officers continued to suppress them.
Every time they camped, dozens of hundreds of deserters had their heads hung up, but they still couldn't stop the soldiers from becoming deserters.
The Far Eastern Army kept biting behind them, and even some Far Eastern cavalry began to pass them and began to intersperse and detour.
Seeing the sluggish morale and the unstoppable deserters, those grassroots officers who were terrified all day and night also began to take off their military uniforms and fled the barracks.
Under the leadership of the officers, the soldiers of the Skitarii began to flee in droves, even the supervisor team fled.
Facing the fleeing soldiers, the senior generals tried their best to stop the fleeing.
Seeing deserters appearing in the guards around them, they finally knew that they were powerless and could only let those soldiers become deserters.
On the seventh day of the pursuit by the Far Eastern Army, the troops of the Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Armies of the Skitarii had lost their combat effectiveness, and 90% of the soldiers fled.
In order to avoid being chased by the supervising team, those soldiers who escaped from the barracks left the main road and took those remote trails to return to their hometown.
The rout soldiers filled every trail, like dandelions, they spread the news of the defeat.
Hearing that the frontline army had suffered a disastrous defeat, the people all over the Holy See were also panicked, packed up their bags and fled towards the big city.
The defeated soldiers and refugees crowded the country roads everywhere, and then crowded the roads leading to the hinterland everywhere.
After the towns along the way learned that the front line had been defeated and the Far East Army had come, they were also filled with panic.
Especially those big nobles were in a panic. On the one hand, they actively inquired about the news, and on the other hand, they packed up their properties and all kinds of precious metals to evacuate.
The nobles were evacuating, the common people were also evacuating, and the rout soldiers were also mixed in. Like a trickle, they gathered into a mighty army of refugees.
Most of the people still brought some soft dry food, but those rout soldiers retreated from the battlefield, except for the swords in their hands, they had nothing.
In order to survive, they could only plunder those people and the towns along the way.
Wherever soldiers were defeated and refugees flooded in, the order of the entire city would also be out of control in a short period of time.
In some towns there are private guards of the nobles, but they cannot withdraw in order to protect the nobles' evacuation.
Those city guards were originally responsible for maintaining the order of the city and defending against bandits' attacks.
Now that a large number of defeated soldiers are pouring in, their meager strength is really vulnerable, and they cannot control the situation at all.
Cities were captured by refugees and rout soldiers. The rout soldiers plundered unscrupulously, and the refugees also swarmed up, robbing food and money, and the order everywhere was rapidly collapsing.
Many slaves and commoners who were dissatisfied with the nobles who had been oppressing them also saw the opportunity for revenge, and launched bloody revenge against the nobles.
Many slaves took the opportunity to break away from the control of the nobles. They looted everywhere in groups of three or five, while others gathered in hundreds and thousands and became bandits.
A considerable number of refugees were forced to join in order to survive after eating up their food or being looted.Join these teams in order to get food and survive.
The news that the frontline army of the Holy See was defeated and the Far East Army was coming spread everywhere at an alarming speed.
The number of fleeing people is also increasing day by day, and cities and towns are also occupied by refugees and routs, and the order is completely out of control.
This out-of-control order is spreading like a plague, and at first it was only some towns near the border.
However, as the refugee army marched towards the hinterland of the Holy See, almost no cities along the way were spared.
Those nobles and bishops who used to be high above are also fleeing for their lives like bereaved dogs. Many of them may have been slaughtered by a group of rogues or routs on a dark and stormy night.
The troops of the Far Eastern Army who invaded the territory of the Holy See still maintain strict military discipline. They have been ordered that anyone who dares to plunder or slaughter recklessly will be dealt with by military law.
This time, after defeating the Holy See, the Far Eastern Empire decided to annex it completely in order to solve this threat once and for all, so the people are the target of their struggle.
When the Far Eastern Army marched into the Holy See, they also played their own banner.
That is, they did not come to rob those ordinary people, they came here to seek revenge from the Pope and the bishops!
The Pope sent troops to harass the Far East several times, causing huge property losses and casualties to the Far East.
This time the Far Eastern Army sent troops to the Holy See, also came to settle accounts with the Pope, and has nothing to do with the people!
The Far Eastern Army played such a banner to avoid encountering the hostility and resistance of the people, and to avoid falling into the quagmire of new wars.
However, when the Far Eastern Army entered the city within the territory of the Holy See, it was discovered that the people did not resist them, because they had already escaped completely.
Those prosperous cities have become a mess of ruins, many houses have been burned, and many villages and towns have been looted.
In many blocks, there are the corpses of civilians and some defeated soldiers, as well as the corpses of some local city lords or noble guards.
Facing such a situation, the vanguard of the Far Eastern Army was also full of bewilderment.
Has the Holy See suffered internal strife?
The troops of the Far Eastern Army continued to advance suspiciously. Along the way, they saw abandoned carriages, slaughtered camps, and dead bodies by the roadside.
Every town has become lifeless and has been looted. They searched for a few people hiding in the countryside and found out that the reason why they became like this was caused by refugees and broken soldiers crossing the border.
Facing this scene, the Far Eastern Army was a little dumbfounded. They thought they would encounter fierce resistance when they marched into the Holy See.
After all, most people in the Holy See are staunch believers, and they are willing to die for their beliefs.
But in fact, they did not expect that the refugees and the defeated soldiers would destroy the order in various places and cause civil strife in the Holy See. Without their hands, the mighty army of defeated refugees would be enough to destroy everything. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
