Lord: Marry the villain's daughter at the beginning?

Chapter 205 Chaos

Faced with these sudden changes, Lowry immediately gave the order to retreat.

The nature of these monsters is unknown, their weaknesses are unknown, and we don't even know what they are. At this point, the correct decision would be to retreat, rest, and then study these monsters in detail.

Hammond, who was at the front, saw with his own eyes that the monsters transformed from the demons were constantly gnawing at the ordinary humans behind Doug.

Those humans either became food in the monsters' mouths, or were transformed into monsters covered with rotten flesh and mud by the black blood that spurted out.

If there really is a hell in this world, Hammond thinks this is it.

"You bastards!"

No matter what, the people behind Doug's army are mostly innocent civilians who were sent to the battlefield by Doug. They are also the people of the North, but now they have either turned into monsters or become food for the monsters.

The Doug army was in chaos and no longer obeyed any orders. They fled madly in all directions. Some people who subconsciously wanted to escape back to the rear immediately regretted it. In addition to the monsters transformed from the demons after eating the holy remains, the humans who turned into mud were also under Noam's control and began to attack the fleeing humans.

"Run away!"

A pool of humans controlled by mud seemed to have self-awareness. They stretched out the mud-like arms to their companions and shouted in a hoarse and distorted voice.

"Let's go!"

Things like this kept happening behind Doug's army, and the entire situation was on the verge of collapse.

Those who fled to the flanks did not have a good ending either. The demons seemed to have been prepared for this, and even the flanks were filled with demon soldiers and monsters.

The battlefield became a buffet for those monsters.

"Sacrifice... Sacrifice..."

The monsters kept whispering while driving the humans under their feet.

Some professionals in Doug's army also reacted. Some spellcasters tried to attack the monsters, and there was some effect, but there were too many monsters. Even the gray-collar artillery had to bombard continuously to eliminate a group of monsters, not to mention the rear of Doug's army where monsters gathered.

Those professionals immediately understood the situation. They knew that they would die on both sides and behind them, and the only way to survive was in the camp of gray-collar workers.

The ordinary soldiers also realized this situation, and all of them were swept up in a mad rush towards the gray-collar camp.

Hammond heard the retreat horn and although he felt unwilling to see the monsters devouring the people in the North, he still decided to retreat.

Seeing those Doug Army soldiers running towards the Gray-collar Camp, Hammond shouted, "Doug Army soldiers, we are the last one to leave, don't panic! Try to maintain your formation! Didn't the damn Doug teach you how to retreat?"

Hammond's voice penetrated the chaotic battlefield. This was probably the most magical thing that Hammond had ever encountered after fighting for so long. He was actually commanding the local army to retreat in his own direction.

But unfortunately, there seems to be no retreat training in the daily training of Doug's army. The soldiers are like wild horses running away from the battlefield. Fear has taken over their minds and there is only a desperate way of escape in their eyes.

The surroundings were filled with dust and smoke, chaotic footsteps accompanied by intermittent shouts. Everyone was running desperately, pushing, tripping, and trampling on each other. It was a mess, as if all order had completely collapsed at this moment.

Even the Dulce troops who were backing up Hammond were thrown into disarray by the crowd, and the soldiers had long been consumed by fear.

These ordinary soldiers that Doug had accumulated in the Golden Ear Plains finally came in handy. In addition to becoming sacrifices to monsters, they also successfully broke up the formation of the gray-collar workers.

These gray-collar soldiers were in a dilemma as to whether to open fire or not. Although the other side was an enemy, judging from the current situation, these enemy soldiers were just ordinary people driven by fear.

Laurie gave the order immediately, not to fire at the rushing soldiers. Once they opened fire, the situation would become even more chaotic, and those soldiers would attack the gray-collar camp even more frantically.

After all, going back to look for the monster would mean certain death, but as long as they rushed to the gray-collar camp, there would still be a chance of survival.

To put it another way, dying at the hands of humans is better than being eaten alive by monsters.

"Spread out the formation and prepare to meet these guys!"

Laurie knew that the situation was urgent and he couldn't do nothing even if he gave random orders, otherwise the situation would only get worse.

"But sir, those are enemy troops, and the situation is too chaotic for us to manage."

The staff officers around Laurie still maintained some rationality. Laurie's order was a little too crazy. If there were some undercover agents mixed in with the charging enemy soldiers, it would be difficult to detect them at that time. Moreover, if the charging Doug army accidentally fired their guns, the humans on both sides would start fighting each other.

"Do as I say. I'll take care of any problems!"

Laurie’s idea was very simple. Although these were Doug’s army, they were also people of the North. And now it was clear that the North had a new enemy, so the Doug’s army was no longer important.

Since the current situation will be worse no matter which choice we make, we might as well save the people first.

Moreover, these people who rushed over were completely mixed with the gray-collar army that was going against the flow to stop the monsters. If they opened fire now to stop them, not only would there be accidental injuries, but it would also turn into a direct fight. The number of the enemy was too large, and it would take a long time to kill them all by queuing them up and shooting them. It would be better to save firepower and ammunition for dealing with subsequent monsters.

"Tell White to stop those demon monsters coming over here. Get the artillery ready! Use Captain Hammond as the boundary and cover the retreat of Hammond's troops!"

"Don't save any more money, just blast them all! Blast them!"

Hammond, who was retreating, saw the fireball fired by the magic cannon falling behind him, and he knew that it was Lowry who was urging him.

There are still many Doug Army soldiers who have not escaped, but it is too late to care about that now. Laurie has done his best to accept the Doug Army soldiers who have escaped.

Looking at the Doug soldiers who were burning along with the mud monster, Hammond sighed and rode back.

On the other side, White was cursing: "We have tried our best to stop them, but where is the artillery support!?"

Many of White's knights were injured. These knights had already figured out that close-range molten spears and molten swords could cause better damage to these monsters.

Ray guns can also cause damage, but not as directly as molten spears and molten swords. Ordinary muskets can suppress it but cannot cause effective damage.

In the end, the knights still had to do the chopping themselves.

Fortunately, with the fire support of ordinary armed soldiers in the rear, these knights have begun to figure out the rules and can deal with the monsters. The bad news is that even so, these knights will still be hit and injured by these monsters during the fight.

In the end, there will only be more and more of these monsters, and they will not even let go of corpses, eating frantically on the battlefield.
