Chapter 50 The army gathers

"General, the enemy has been defeated by us!" Seeing the defeat of the Latin army, the Argos city defenders who followed Carodessa's attack said excitedly. They had taken the initiative to attack the ground with the determination to die, but they did not

They actually succeeded in repelling the enemy and lifting the siege of Argos. Not only did the Latins fail to complete the positioning, but even the wood they had just prepared to build siege equipment was burned by them.

This battle can be won! After the victory in the first battle, the Roman soldiers with high morale were all excited and mustered up the courage to continue fighting.

But Carlo Desai looked at the dust raised by the defeat of Lading's army with a cold face, without the slightest optimism in his heart. Because he knew that the enemy was only retreating temporarily. They just took a surprise attack, and the losses caused were absolutely nothing.

This Latin army will just give up. Not to mention that these people are just the vanguard, and the opponent's large army is probably not far away from here.

However, despite the grim situation, Carlo Desai decided to attack because he wanted to seize the initiative on the battlefield as much as possible. Now it seems that at least he has bought time for them.

"Immediately return to Mystras to ask for help from Lord Justinian and tell him that the Latins are coming!" The veteran soldier who made a decisive decision immediately ordered. Seeing that his commander was so solemn, the soldiers who were so complacent just now also became confused.

Calm down. Yes, they did win the battle just now, but the opponent will come back sooner or later. When the time comes, it will be absolutely difficult to resist with only a few hundred of them guarding this place. They must ask Lord Justinian for help.

"Godric, just go ahead!"

After making a decision, Carlo Desai glanced at the cavalry around him and selected one of the young men. The others looked at him without saying a word, and none of them had any objections to the decision, even though who was selected.

Choosing it means the greater the chance of being alive.

But the young man named Godric seemed unwilling to accept his commander's order, and muttered unhappily: "...Sir, I can definitely stay and fight with you. This matter can be left to Old John.

.”

"Hey, you brat, you can really brag. How can you stay and replace me!" Old John on the side laughed and scolded, "Since Mr. Carlo Desai has given the order, obey the instruction. We will leave you to shout.

Reinforcements.”

Amidst the teasing of other elders, Godric's face turned red and he still wanted to protest something, wanted to stay and fight alongside everyone. However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Carlo Desai.

"Have you forgotten the first words I taught you when you arrived at the military camp? Obey orders! The burden on your shoulders is no lighter than ours. Now the life and death of the whole city depends on you. Every second you delay now is

You're playing with all our lives."

"But father" Godric, who couldn't hold his head up after being scolded, finally couldn't help it and shouted out the customary title.

However, Carrodsay once again blocked his words with steel-like harsh words, "There is no but, you can only call me Master Carrodsay because you are wearing a military uniform. John, give it to Godric."

Prepare the fastest horse, I will let him start now. Then the Latins will not discover our purpose."

"Okay!" Old John, who was smiling, brought the two fast horses that had been prepared, and whispered to Godric who still didn't want to leave: "Your father is also worried about you, you should be considerate of him.

"

As he said that, the man patted the horse's butt and said, "They are the two horses, Black Beauty, the two best horses I have raised, but they are a bit wild. They have to be treated like coaxing women. Remember to change horses, so it should be done within one day.

You can reach Mystras. Our lives depend on you, boy."

After John finished speaking, all the other veterans present laughed. They all watched the boy in front of them grow up, and naturally they didn't want him to be in danger. Although they could get there in one day, Mystras could

How many people will be gathered and how soon they will arrive is unknown.

Godric naturally knew what these evil-minded old guys were planning, but he also knew that they would never let him stay. Wiping his eyes, the young man gritted his teeth and nodded: "Don't worry.

, I will definitely bring the news, and you must hold on, I will definitely bring reinforcements back."

Godric took the horse that the veteran John gave him, looked at everyone in front of him and nodded, and his determined eyes were worth a thousand words after the exchange.

Watching Godric's figure heading south to ask for help getting further and further away from them and finally completely disappearing from sight, the smiles on the faces of the veterans gradually faded away.

Old John asked quietly: "Boss, do you think Mystras will send reinforcements whether we live or die?"

"It's hard to say..." Looking at the sky in the distance, Carlo Desai shook his head.

And his subordinates smiled bitterly and said: "How can it be difficult to say? Hehe! What Shangguan said the most familiar to us on the battlefield is that the damn price should be paid at all costs. And we are the price... Mis

Truss may have already prepared a plan, but obviously he will not change it because of us."

After so many years of hard work, these veterans have already recognized the reality. It is not that they are resentful of the people above them, but that everything has been changed by the cruel war and they no longer trust anyone except themselves and their brothers who have been through life and death.

"Okay," Carlo Desai suddenly spoke up, interrupting the boring conversation, and calmly scanned the faces of everyone in front of him and the faces of his subordinates.

"As a soldier, I have handed over my body to the country, and it is our homeland that we are defending with all our lives. We will indeed face a tough battle next, but I hope you will not say any more depressing words. Mr. Justinian and

Those nobles in the past were different, I think there is no need for me to repeat them."

"We are not afraid of death, what we are afraid of is having nowhere to die."

"Gentlemen, please be prepared to join me in a bloody battle with the Latins until death. It is my honor to fight alongside you." Carlo Desai raised the sword in his hand and said, and the originally depressing atmosphere at this moment

The blood of the man on the battlefield was instantly washed away completely.

The soldiers also raised their weapons high above their heads, looked at their commanders with fervent and determined eyes and said:
