"Sure enough, it's Helrington as the vanguard to attack the Chinese army!" In the formation of the middle army of Lotsunte, Edie carefully observed the opponent's formation. He quickly ordered, "Pass the order, and order the Royal Knights of Erosa to assist the commanders of the various divisions to restrain the infantry regiments, and be sure to stop the other party's attack!"

"Yes!" his lieutenant saluted Edie, bowed kindly to Charlotte, and quickly went to give the order.

Naturally, Brent would not be foolish enough to let the miscellaneous infantry as the vital central army, and his strategy was to disrupt the formation of the miscellaneous legions, insert the elite infantry regiment to stabilize the morale of the army, and make the most elite Erosa royal knights abandon the formation charge and dismount to guide the infantry regiment in battle.

Although it was a move to sharpen the spear in battle, it could somewhat improve the combat effectiveness of some miscellaneous legions, so that it would not be broken by the elite of the temple commanded by Helrington at the moment of the confrontation between the two armies.

Viewed from above, the formation of the two sides began to change gradually.

Brent ordered the army to press, and put on a rash posture to lure the enemy to attack the Chinese army, and the whole formation pressed to the east like a wild goose flying high.

Hostent's side was in a much the same formation, with Truman in the center and Helrington charging as the vanguard, while ordering the crossbowmen in the back row to step forward to suppress the temptation.

The formation of the two sides moved slowly, at first it was a decent test of bows and crossbows, and the arrows fired at each other covered the sky and the sun like a plague of locusts, almost completely obscuring the scorching sun in the sky, and the whizzing arrows broke through the air and vibrated the tympanic membrane.

In a battle where there are more than 200,000 people in the main force and auxiliaries (auxiliaries generally transport food and grass, but they will also go to the battlefield when it is critical), no matter how strong your caster is, it is impossible to cast protective arrows that cover the entire field, and if you want to reduce losses, it all depends on the combat quality of both legions. After three volleys, the main players of both sides will look at each other's formations.

As expected, even with the elite hoplites and the Royal Knights of Erosa, the formation on the side of the Locente inevitably led to riots. The arrows covering a wide range of arrows caused a lot of losses to the untrained miscellaneous regiments, and the soldiers either raised their shields in the wrong posture or at a poor time, in short, after three rounds of covering volleys, the casualties of nearly a thousand soldiers made the originally tight formation of Lotte appear a lot of thinning.

Although the riots were quickly and effectively covered up by the veterans of the Knights and Heavy Infantry Regiment of Erossa, Truman was keenly aware of them.

On the other hand, on the Hosente side, they were only half damaged by three rounds of arrows, and the formation hardly changed.

"There's still a big gap!" Brentt clenched the gauntlet in his left hand, "The point is, you can't give the order to speed up the charge in formation, that will only cause more terrible chaos." Can you only be beaten passively?"

As Burrent expected, the old Truman quickly seized on the shortcomings of the Losente side and ordered the breakaway team in Highrington to suppress the opponent by firing from the back before they entered the firing position.

After several rounds of firing, the casualties of the Lonte army had reached nearly a thousand before Brent led the elite of the Temple and the famous Hosente Halberd Corps to make contact with the Losente army.

This is still the consequence of the experience of the first three rounds of the Chinese army, otherwise, it is estimated that the shooting alone can make the confusion of Rosente even greater.

"Steady, steady, don't panic, Obey my command, raise your shield! Damn it, Are you a bunch of pigs!"

Before the two armies came into contact, the roars of the royal knights of Erosa played a somewhat role. The knights who had been scattered in the middle army shouted that the soldiers should raise their shields to defend according to their training, and as the most elite of the Erosa's regiments, their experience gradually calmed the chaotic infantry regiment.

However, as soon as the first wave of impact arrived, the faces of these invincible knights in the north changed.

With the most elite halberd regiment as the vanguard, Horcente broke into the Chinese army under the command of Hairington. These tall halberd warriors are well-trained to lift their two-and-a-half-meter-long halberds, using their arm strength and movements to thrust forward.

Although the strange shape of the halberd makes this top-heavy weapon difficult to learn and master, once it is learned, it has an advantage that the pikemen do not have. In addition to injuring the enemy, the half-moon-shaped blade of the spearhead can effectively hook the enemy's weapons and armor, and when used as a structured thrust, this powerful and heavy weapon is even more difficult to defend against.

Almost in a flash, the front infantry regiment, which had suffered heavy losses, had a tendency to collapse. Some people are too panicked and afraid to raise their shields, but more often after blocking the halberd, they are hooked by the sliding halberd side blades to hook the shield, and in the process of the opponent's contraction of the halberd, the shield is hooked away and the formation is disrupted.

Then the second stab immediately completely disrupted the defense line of the infantry regiment defending in the front row.

"Ah——!h

"Guard, can't hold it!"

"Damn, where are the reinforcements?"

"I—I want to go home!"

Painful wails and panicked screams resounded across the front line, and the Royal Knights of Erosa changed color in unison, before that, the ace troops that crisscrossed the northern territory under the leadership of Lawrence had never imagined that there was such an elite infantry legion in the world.

And the most terrifying thing is that the opponent's attack distance is extremely long, even comparable to the distance of the cavalry spear of the knight of Erosa in the first round of charge.

- What to do?!

Some of the young royal knights panicked.

Seeing this scene, Brent's face suddenly became even more ugly! Although he had made up his mind to lure the other side to attack with the weak and reckless Chinese army, it was not in his plan to collapse at the first touch.

"Quick! Tell the front line to form a second line of defense at once! Don't retreat! Order the soldiers to press up and shorten the distance! You must entangle them, just like the barbarians did when they faced us!"

Edie, who was also concerned about the situation on the front line, immediately grabbed the herald beside him and shouted at him to give orders. He knew that if he retreated, the rout would be a domino effect.

The herald looked at Edie pitifully, and then at Brent on the high ground not far behind, but saw Brent whispering a few times to the left and right, and then a herald on a fast horse came at a rapid pace, bringing the latest order from the Grand Duke.

"The Grand Duke has an order, act according to Lord Edie's orders!"

Edie exhaled deeply, then looked nervously back at the front line.

- Can orders be executed effectively?

He'd seen it happen too many times, and when the Royal Knights of Erosa charged in a group, the enemy was completely crushed by the terrifying force of the first round of contact. But the question is, can a single charge cause so many casualties?

In fact, it was the invincibility of the Royal Knights of Erosa that caused the collapse, and when they swarmed, it destroyed not only the enemy's formation, but also the opponent's confidence.

But if you encounter a team that dares to fight and completely entangle the slowing down hoplites, then the advantage of the knights will be minimized. This is also the reason why, even the invincible Royal Knights of Erosa often choose to be the last to appear in war.

They are the trump card that intimidates the enemy, and they are also the final blow, but they are never the arrows that start with the first shot!

Edie's order made the knights on the front line immediately realize the key to the tactics of battle, and after the Overseers killed a dozen or so daunting infantry in a row, Edie's order was quickly carried out by the commanders of the front line.

The motley regiment was pushed forward by the warlords, and the halberd regiment was firmly entangled. The shortcomings of the long weapons of the Halberd Corps began to be exposed, and after passing through the short 2-meter path of death, the invincible Halberd Corps finally slowed down the pace of its advance.

Brent let out a long exhale, and only then did he notice that he was soaked in cold sweat. Without Edie's correct and effective orders, Locente would be on the verge of collapse at this point, and there would be no room for his plan to be carried out.

He glanced gratefully at Edie, who was guarding the last line of defense with Charlotte, who also turned back after seeing that the line was stable. Brent smiled and nodded, while Edie frowned slightly, putting back on the helmet he had just ordered to lift, and looking out at the front.

- I'm not here for you! I'm just here to protect Clayderman!

Edie under the helmet thought proudly.
