Chapter 499 Both Sides Are a Little Confused
This sudden change made both sides a little confused. Mary's side did not expect to be beaten as soon as they showed up, and the Holy Alliance side did not expect that after concentrated fire, they did not hurt the other side at all.
However, Mary soon realized that this might be an opportunity. She immediately ordered: "Brothers, charge!"
The Dark Dragon Knights responded in unison and charged towards the Holy Alliance army.
At the same time, the Holy Alliance officer also responded quickly. He shouted, "Quick, keep loading the crossbows! Everyone else, retreat immediately!"
The soldiers became busy, the crossbowmen loaded their crossbows, and the others turned around and fled.
Mary and her men swept past like a black whirlwind, brandishing their weapons and engaging in a fierce fight with the soldiers of the Holy Alliance.
The crossbowmen of the Holy Alliance fell into panic. They found that their crossbows could not cause any damage to the enemy, and their hearts were filled with fear and despair. Some even threw down their crossbows and turned to run away.
"Don't run! Come back!" the Holy Alliance officer shouted angrily.
But it was too late. Mary and her men were unstoppable and quickly overwhelmed the Holy Alliance's defenses.
In this chaotic battle, Mary and her companions killed the last fleeing crossbowman. They looked around, unable to determine if there were any enemies escaping in the chaos.
Mary stood there thinking about the next course of action, and then decided to split the team into two. She sent six dark dragon knights to fly into the sky, using the telescope to find the enemies that might have been missed. At the same time, the other five knights stayed on the ground to clean up the battlefield. As for herself, she went to close the portal.
However, when the Dark Dragon Knight who was in charge of searching for the enemy came back to report, Mary learned that due to the low visibility at night, even with the magic bonus, it was difficult for them to accurately detect the enemy's traces.
After hearing the news, Mary was secretly happy in her heart, but on the surface she sighed helplessly: "It seems that we have to stop searching temporarily and focus on cleaning up the battlefield first!" So she ordered all the knights to concentrate on cleaning up the battlefield and said that they would move their positions later.
The fleeing Holy Alliance officers and soldiers scattered, some fled north, some fled south. No matter where they fled, they all carried the same information - the so-called enchanted crossbows equipped to the transport team actually had quality problems, and might even have been artificially adulterated!
This incident caused great shock and trouble to the entire Holy Alliance both at the front and rear.
The magical light of the elves' enchanted crossbow arrows will gradually emerge after flying a certain distance, and the farther they fly, the brighter the light. However, under normal circumstances, it is no different from other crossbow arrows.
At first, the human craftsmen who were responsible for assisting in the production of enchanted crossbow arrows tried to mark them. However, actual operations showed that the effects of any enchanted crossbow arrows marked by human craftsmen would be greatly reduced or even directly ineffective.
Therefore, the elves strictly forbid humans to make any marks on the crossbows they enchant.
On the other hand, the elves themselves did not mark the crossbow arrows for convenience, which made it difficult for humans to distinguish which were enchanted crossbow arrows and which were just ordinary crossbow arrows. In view of this, humans knew human nature very well, so they listed these enchanted crossbow arrows as military supplies and assigned special people to guard and be responsible for them to prevent anyone from coveting these enchanted crossbow arrows.
In order to ensure the safety of the enchanted crossbow arrows, humans even destroyed all the crossbow arrows in the army, on the market, and even on the black market. At the same time, the sale of crossbow arrows was strictly prohibited to prevent people from exchanging fake arrows for real arrows and then selling them.
But even with this level of defense, the problem of fake arrows still occurred!
At this point, neither humans nor elves thought that the enchanted crossbow arrows were unable to break the enemy's defenses. Instead, they firmly believed that a traitor chose to replace the enchanted crossbow arrows with ordinary crossbow arrows for personal gain.
As a result, a large-scale anti-corruption storm swept in. Whether it was the front line or the rear of the Holy Alliance, a strict investigation of corruption was launched. The elves were responsible for checking whether the enchanted crossbow arrows in the inventory had been replaced to ensure that these precious weapons were not corrupted by greed.
The good news for the front-line troops was that the enchanted crossbow arrows in stock were all real, but the bad news was that a lot of other strategic weapons and military supplies had been embezzled, and the officer who had just been promoted to deputy general was executed by the general for this.
Bathory was secretly delighted when he saw the vacant deputy general position. He knew it was an opportunity, but also a very risky choice. However, he decided to take the risk again and volunteered to the general, expressing his willingness to take on the task of eradicating corruption.
The general was secretly happy when he heard Bathory's request. He had long wanted to find someone to handle this thorny issue, but he was afraid of offending too many people and affecting his position and reputation. Now Bathory volunteered to come forward, which just solved his problem. He readily agreed to Bathory's request and told other generals that Bathory would be responsible for the anti-corruption work.
However, the general knew that the sudden request of the elves to participate in the anti-corruption campaign was really puzzling. If there were no elves to supervise, he would not be willing to personally shoot the newly promoted deputy general. He couldn't help but wonder if someone was manipulating everything behind the scenes.
After receiving the general's approval, Bathory left excitedly.
The general watched him leave, thinking to himself. He called his confidant and told him to keep a close eye on Bathory's every move and report to him immediately if he found Bathory secretly colluding with the elves. The general made up his mind that if Bathory dared to betray him, he would definitely execute him on trumped-up charges.
Many people in the army were skeptical of Bathory's actions. They believed that Bathory was just trying to use the name of anti-corruption to climb to a higher position, and did not really want to fight corruption. Therefore, when the announcement of Bathory's appointment spread throughout the army, many people began to talk about it.
That night, Bathory's residence welcomed a group of visitors. These people were all senior military officers. They came to visit Bathory with generous gifts, hoping to please the newly appointed anti-corruption official. Bathory accepted all the gifts without hesitation and entertained them warmly.
However, just when the dinner was about to end, several elves suddenly broke in. The sudden visit of the elves surprised everyone. Bathory reacted very quickly. He didn't care why these elves came, but he had to have an explanation. Bathory threw his glass, stood up and said, "I have been waiting for you for a long time. These guys are the bribers."
