While cleaning up the battlefield, Arthur saw Lockhart, who commanded the 80,000 soldiers and civilians of Bern City to resist the fierce attacks of 50,000 soldiers for eight days with only the short city walls and simple defense equipment.
He was not tall, half a head shorter than Arthur, and his tired face was covered in blood.
"Captain of the Burne City garrison regiment, Locke greets the general!”Locke's figure was tall and straight like a pine tree. Although he was tired, it could not hide the determined eyes under his sharp eyebrows.
"You've worked hard. Let's return to the city first!" Arthur also returned the salute solemnly and motioned for him to go with him.
"Yes, sir! General!"
Rockman had placed himself in a very proper position. Although he had led tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians to resist the crazy attacks of two of Darcy's divisions, he was not complacent. He knew that he was only a regiment commander, one rank lower than Arthur. He always considered himself to be Arthur's subordinate.
After chatting with Locke for a while, Arthur felt a little awkward. Since Locke had already lowered his stance, he naturally had to express his gratitude. He politely told him several times that he did not have to do this. After all, he was not his superior. It was fine to talk to him on equal terms. Although Locke agreed quickly, his attitude didn't change at all. After a few words, the relaxed conversation environment became like a superior and subordinate, with questions and answers.
In fact, such a humble attitude was not only due to Rockwell's rigorous and stubborn personality of abiding by the system, but he also had his own thoughts. He had been excluded to Bern City for a long time, and his ambition to make contributions was finally awakened by this hot-blooded battle. He hoped to find a way to display his military talents.
Not long after he met Arthur, or even before he met him, he had decided to find a way to become the subordinate of this unknown general who commanded 20,000 cavalrymen with great skill. He wanted to join this massive war and fulfill his dream. If he didn't do this, with his poorly equipped and poorly trained soldiers, this war would have nothing to do with him.
Especially when he found out that this young commander with a smile on his face was the famous Arthur, one of the three strongest empires who had killed the SS Peril Species. When he saw Patrick, the throbbing in Locke's heart became even stronger.
He firmly believed that although he might not be able to become a great commander, he would definitely be an outstanding general.
The north gate of Bern City had been sealed. The small gate on the east side was wide enough for a thousand people to enter, but it was not enough for 20,000 cavalrymen. Arthur had no choice but to order them to hide in the dense forest not far away. He led 3,000 barbarian infantry into the city. He needed to understand the specific situation in the city before deciding on the next move.
"Hu ~"
Seeing the city gate slowly close, Arthur heaved a sigh of relief. Although the battle tonight was going smoothly, in a situation where the enemy camp was not far away and the allies he could rely on were hundreds of miles away, the outcome would be unpredictable if there was a slight change.
Arthur stretched his stiff neck and back when he arrived at the resting place that Lockhart had prepared for him. After a long journey and a night of battle, even with his physique, it was a little too much for him.
As soon as he closed his eyes, the guards in the city reported the situation in the city. Before Arthur could take a look, Locke knocked on the door and entered.
After saluting him, Locke began to report the situation in the city, as if he was Arthur's subordinate.
Arthur saw through his intentions, but he remained calm and listened quietly without saying anything.
Sure enough, Locke, who had been hinting but did not get a response, was anxious. He knelt on one knee and begged Arthur to take him in. He did not care how abrupt his actions were. In order not to stay here forever, doing nothing and dying in depression, he had to seize this opportunity!
Arthur didn't try to make him stay, but he didn't refuse. He accepted him directly.
Soldiers were always straightforward, and once Arthur accepted his loyalty, Locke immediately said that he would hand over the command of the city to Arthur.
Arthur took over the command and began to consider his next move.
The two of them quickly entered their respective roles!
After eight consecutive days of fierce attacks, the Da Xi Army had suffered severe injuries, but the losses in the city were also great.
Out of the 15,000 soldiers, only 3,000 were left, and most of them were injured. Not only that, but in order to survive, nearly 20,000 of the young men in the city had also died.
The losses were almost one-to-one. It was really unbelievable that this was actually a city defense war!
There were only 40,000 people left in the city, and most of them were young, old, women, and children. Moreover, Bern City was not too far from Darcy's main camp. The reinforcements from Camil City could not reach them in time to strengthen their garrison.
"Go! Inform the citizens of the city to pack up. At dawn, we will retreat to the rear!”Arthur made a decision.
" Ah..." Locke was stunned at first. After not sleeping for a few days, his mind was buzzing with one sentence. Wasn't this a great victory?
However, when he saw the place Arthur was pointing at on the map, he shivered. His muddled mind seemed to have been drenched in cold water, and he became clear-headed.
The Da Xi camp was one-third closer than the empire's camp!
"Yes, General!" Locke turned around and ran out.
"Remember, you must not let the people bring too many things. If they don't listen, force them!”
Arthur couldn't help but emphasize that this was not the time to talk about the relationship between the army and the people!!
