"Look! it's a flare!"

In a narrow strip of land not far from the shoals of the Tria, an ambush hides in the depths of the jungle.

Contrary to what Truman and Harrington had expected, this ambush did not attack while the opposing army was heading to the plains, but hid in the deepest part of the jungle, waiting for the best opportunity.

Brent's heart is big, very big!

He knew how far he could stand between the remnants of his defeated army and Truman's legions, and he knew that a single attack would not turn the tide at all, but would only delay the process of destruction. So he ordered Hoyle and Nell not to attack the approaching Truman Legion, and the ambush force hid in the deepest part of the forest on Brent's orders, leaving Hairington's scout force circling the outskirts of the forest unaware.

Now, the time has come!

Hoyle removed the weeds from his helmet and led his men down to the glade with Nell. The clearing was used to hide horses, and a total of 1,000 horsemen were on standby.

"The flare has been fired, and Archduke Brent has ordered us to raid Truman's main line!I don't want to tell you anything big, in short, victory, we will still be Locents, and if we fail......" Hoyle silently glanced at his troops, "then let us die in the way of the charge!"

The warriors mounted one after another, and Nell, as Truman's lieutenant, planned to follow Hoyle's side, but was stopped by a vigorous female voice.

"Hey, Nell, you're on a mission to protect us!"

"W-What!?" Nell looked at the energetic girl with short blond hair.

"Don't you want to!" Lolita's eyes widened, and she pulled Vivien beside her, supporting the slender shoulders of the long, straight black girl, "Can you bear to let Vivien go to battle unprotected?"

"No! I didn't mean that!" Nell was even more confused, "but you are not soldiers, you can't go to war! just stay here and wait until we are victorious......

"No kidding! you wouldn't have been able to win without the help of our sisters!" Lolita was confident.

"But, Cousin Charlotte wants me to protect you!"

"Yes! Protect on the battlefield!"

At this time, Vivien followed Lolita and said, "The teacher made us two spell scrolls, which will allow us to escape the battlefield when things don't go well. In other words, the teacher's order is for us to follow you to the battlefield. ”

- It can also take you away from the battlefield by the way. Vivien thought to herself.

"But I still don't think he meant it that way. ”

"Alright!" Hoyle patted Nell on the shoulder, "I've been tasked with putting you in charge of protecting our lovely spellcasters, not charging into battle as a vanguard!

"......"

"It's an order!" Hoyle pulled out the general's style, which made Nell lose his temper.

Hoyle ordered the army to move out, and he noticed that in the center of the line, Nell was pulled by the ear of the energetic girl with small tiger teeth, and he grinned in pain. He smiled slightly, and quickly assumed the role of a general.

He still remembered the conversation between Brent and Charlotte with him on the eve of the ambush, and even the two great men who seemed to Hoyle to be brilliant were not sure of winning this war.

Vivien and Lolita are the mages of the ambush force on the surface, but they are also Nell's protectors, and they will launch spell scrolls when the battle situation is unfavorable, which is said to allow them to carry Nell across a distance of dozens of miles in an instant.

The order actually included the intention of Hoyle to evacuate, but the young general did not intend to flee.

The knight, who had just inherited the title of Viscount Edward, decided to live and die with Lotsente, and he wanted to avenge his parents as a Lotent nobleman. Instead of leaving Aoyama behind, one day in the future in the name of the nobles of Icewind Castle will return to this war-torn country.

Brent's orders were accurate and effective, because of the delay caused by a series of processes such as ordering, conveying, organizing, and reacting, in fact, when the corps commander found a problem and gave an order, the best time was missed.

Therefore, a good corps commander will give orders before the situation on the battlefield is changed, so that he can cut into the problem at the best time.

Brent and Truman belong to such excellent existences, and when Hoyle led the ambush troops into the battlefield, it was in fact the moment when the two wings of the Rosente army and the interception force of Hossent were completely entangled.

At this time, let him Truman command talent against the sky, and he did not want to let the completely entangled interception legion return in a short period of time.

That's the only chance for Losente!

Hoyle saw Truman's command position on the high ground from a distance, and immediately ordered the whole army to enter combat readiness and charge the high ground.

The elite cavalry of Lotsente, led by Hoyle, shouted neat slogans and rushed to Truman's command position with an indomitable momentum.

The latter also spotted this ambush army emerging from behind for the first time, and he was shocked in his heart, and finally understood where the hidden uneasiness came from!

Brent wanted to gamble with him, and he set up an offensive formation with a central bulge to induce Truman to send an elite to attack the Chinese army, and then forced Truman to send mobile troops to intercept it with the elite on both wings. However, all this was just a trick of Brent, and the real killing move came from the ambush behind him, so that both sides as the commanders of the corps had to face the dilemma of being attacked in the main formation.

The scales of victory were torn off by Brent's various means, and the two men who were also attacked in the main formation had to race against time. Whoever breaks through the opponent's main formation first will win this battle!

It's time for the real showdown!

The adjutant beside him was frightened by the sudden appearance of the ambush troops, and he pulled Truman, wanting the latter to shift his position.

"No!"

But Truman, like Brent, flatly refused the adjutant's request.

"Not only must we not be able to shift our positions, but we must also not allow the intercepting troops to return to help! The war has reached the most critical moment, and whoever is the first to waver now will be completely collapsed by erroneous orders and low morale! Order the soldiers of the main formation to put up a defensive formation, and the crossbowmen cover the shots, we must hold on, the advantage is still in our hands, it is just a group of light horsemen who have lost their courage!"

Truman personally waved the flag representing Hossente, and his uncompromising spirit greatly boosted the morale of the main front. His aging bodily abilities made it extremely difficult for him to wield the banner, but he gritted his teeth and glared at the invading hussar regiment with resolute eyes.

The three waves of arrows dealt a great blow to the assault legion, and dozens of elite light horsemen lost their lives under the rain of arrows. However, the elite army led by Hoyle did not waver, and they were determined to die, and rushed headlong to Truman's main formation at great speed.

The sound of killing shook the sky!

Hoyle raised his rifle and stabbed the three hoplites into skewers, the spear broke, and without hesitation, he drew his sword at his waist and slashed it again and again under the cover of his knight brothers.

Mallory Baker, who had been promoted to knight, was by his side, and he and thirty knights served as arrows to lead the most elite light cavalry regiment of Rosente into enemy formation.

Vivien and Lolita, under the protection of Nell and others, constantly unleash various attacks and obstruction spells, and this is the first time that the two of them have participated in a major battle. The mages who had hunted Teklin countless times in the Underworld were not discouraged, using a variety of low-power, high-efficiency spells to assist the stormtroopers, while countering the attacks of Truman's mages with spell scrolls made by Charlotte.

The war has reached its final decisive moment!

Whoever can't hold on first will perish!
