Chapter 1293: Chaotic Battlefield
Late at night.
The border defense line of the Kingdom of Sika, the stronghold of Bastana.
Outside the stronghold, a small group of more than a dozen soldiers were patrolling with torches, guarding against the infiltration of small groups of Alliance people. Usually, they don't pay much attention to this work, but recently, with the pressure of the two countries' soldiers, they have to work hard under the continuous high pressure.
They had already heard about it, and this time the Soma alliance on the opposite side had gathered a full five legions.
A squad of 10 people, a brigade of 100 people, a regiment of 1,000 people, a regiment of 10,000 people, a regiment of 100,000 people, a joint army of 100,000 people—five regiments of the army is about 500,000 people.
And their side of the Sika Kingdom did not weaken there, and gathered a full four legions. The military structure of the two countries is similar, but their Sika Kingdom prefers various elite brigades, reinforced regiments, and reinforced legions, and the number of them is often more than several percent, so the overall number is about the same as that of the Soma Alliance.
In this way, one million people on both sides gathered on the border, which makes people feel terrified when they think about it, which is an unprecedented formation.
Once this kind of formation starts, small soldiers like them can really only resign themselves to fate, after all, they are thrown on the battlefield of millions of people alone, and it is almost the same as a small pebble falling into the sea, and they can't even splash a splash, so they will sink.
Therefore, they have been praying that it is better to maintain this situation and not start fighting.
This may be a stealing war, but they are just a small soldier, whether they win or not, their exploits have nothing to do with them, they just want to live.
However, reality is often the opposite of expectations.
Life always shows the worst side – Murphy's Law.
A small group of soldiers patrolled for a long time, counting the time, and was about to return to the stronghold to replace the next group, when suddenly they heard something in the night.
The sound was small at first, barely audible, but it only became deafening in a few seconds, like a thunderclap, and in the midst of the boom, it felt like thousands of bison were galloping towards it.
"Something!"
The soldier shouted, looked in the direction from which the voice came, and the next moment he saw the heavy cavalry in heavy armor breaking through the darkness as if the blade had cut through the butter. The heavy cavalry formed a dense formation, like a huge black arrow with no edge in sight, flying close to the ground.
The soldiers of the Sika Kingdom glared suddenly, and subconsciously shouted: "Enemy attack!"
Their bodies stiffened, but the movements of the training worked in time, quickly picking up the horn around their waists and blowing it with all their might.
"Woo~Woo~"
The old man's voice spread quickly, and the patrol soldiers turned around and ran.
At this time, the Bastana stronghold from which they set out had already reacted, and many figures flew out and flew towards the charging Soma Alliance army.
The figure that flew out was a wizard who had just received a notice from above to launch a general attack just before dawn. They were a little surprised that the Soma Alliance was one step ahead of them, but they were not too flustered, and they were trying to release spells according to the record to delay the offensive of the Soma Alliance and buy time for their own counterattack.
As they flew closer, a light appeared in their hands, which was the spell generating.
However, just as the spell was halfway through generation, several spears of gray light mixed with dark blue light suddenly approached as lightning and hit their bodies.
"Boom!"
With a few explosions, the Sika wizard in the air was killed instantly, and his body fell to the ground. And this is exactly the hand of the hidden Soma Alliance wizards and knights in the heavy cavalry team - the attack of the Sika Kingdom on the Soma Alliance has been recorded, and the Soma Alliance has also been recorded for the Sika Kingdom.
This is war, a war like chess, whoever thinks more will have an advantage.
"Click......
Amid the sound of horses' hooves, the heavy cavalry ran over the corpse of the wizard of the Kingdom of Sika and rushed straight towards the Bastana stronghold.
At this time, the heavy infantry with spears more than four meters long poured out of the stronghold, forming a phalanx to usher in the second group of blocking forces.
At the same time, there was the sound of horses' hooves on the left and right, which were the cavalry from the rest of the strongholds, and the heavy cavalry ready to flank the Soma Alliance's charge on the left and right - as I said before, the people of the Sika Kingdom had decided to attack before dawn, and the army was ready, so the reaction to the Soma Alliance's attack was not slow at all. The cavalry supporting on both sides had already discovered that they had been dispatched before the horns of the patrol soldiers sounded, so they could arrive in time.
It seems that now it is the heavy cavalry of the Soma Alliance that is at a disadvantage.
However, they did not have the slightest fear of being cut off by the enemy cavalry on both sides, and did not slow down their charge and continued to move forward.
"Click......
New horses' hooves sounded, and the new Soma Alliance heavy cavalry broke out of the darkness, with coordinated acceleration and change of direction, blocking the support forces of the Sika Kingdom on one left and one right.
In a moment, a tragic collision sounded, a battle broke out, and the war really began.
This scene took place near the Bastana stronghold, but also everywhere on the border between the two countries - this is a microcosm, this is a contrast, just for a short time, the border between the two sides is in chaos, chaos into a pot of porridge.
One hour, two hours, three hours.
Three hours later, the porridge was boiled and began to boil, and the situation on the border battlefield became extremely complicated, except for the top command room to understand the overall situation, the soldiers and officers involved in it were completely confused. Some teams even directly messed up the formation, and could only rely on the ability of the junior officers to improvise and decide whether to continue the offensive or retreat.
Mario is one of them.
He can be said to be extremely lucky, he accidentally fell into the tunnel, and his military rank was promoted to three levels, and he became a senior ten-captain, and he was only one step away from the centurion.
As an officer, the commander of the Red Maple Cavalry Regiment was naturally embarrassed to let him continue to serve as a soldier under the original squad leader, so he drew a few people from several squads in the regiment and formed a temporary special squad for him, counting himself, a total of nine people.
He was extremely excited about this, and had already made countless preparations, just waiting to go to the front line and lead his subordinates to make a good contribution and become a real centurion.
But he can also be said to be extremely unlucky.
His Red Maple Cavalry Regiment did not seize the status of the vanguard, and was distributed in the rear as a reserve force, until the front attack was frustrated, and then it was put in. As he was about to try to break through the enemy's defenses, he came across a team of demonic knights from the Kingdom of Sika.
They were indeed an elite cavalry regiment, but they were obviously not the opponents of the Demon-Armored Knights Brigade, so in the angry roar of the regiment commander, "Where are our Demon-Armored Knights", they quickly shifted their direction and broke through to the side.
