We must grow in love, and for that we must keep loving, giving, until we become wounded.

Faced with the 100,000 soldiers of the Lucy Kingdom who took the initiative to fight, that is, the so-called 100,000 rebel rabble of the Luxi tribe, Gregory, whose headquarters was only a few miles away from the Kirkwall camp, received a report from the patrol cavalry, and immediately ordered the whole army to blow the horn of attack.

In Gregory's view, the reason why the rebels who retreated into the camp for more than ten days took the initiative to fight uncharacteristically, and they fought with all their might, must be because their food was almost consumed, so they were forced to take the initiative to survive in order to survive.

Using the last 52,000 of his elite to face the 100,000 beleaguered rebel warriors is undoubtedly the most irrational of all choices, after all, the size of the rebel army is as high as 100,000, and even if Gregory can win, it will be a miserable victory rather than a big victory.

The war in the barbarian world is not without examples of defeating the strong with the weak and winning more with the less, but under the premise that the strength of the two sides is not much different, the hot-blooded and warlike nature of the barbarian warriors determines the battles between them, and the victory is often achieved at a heavy price.

Isn't the battle between the Eastern Alliance and the Luxi tribe the most typical example? The Eastern Alliance, which developed rapidly, almost collapsed due to the crushing defeat in the Battle of Lear, and the Luxi tribe, which had dominated the eastern region for hundreds of years, suffered heavy losses as a result of the war.

From these perspectives, it seems that Gregory should not have chosen to immediately confront the rebels who took the initiative, but he did not hesitate to give the order to blow the horn of the whole army, because he intended to end the rebels once and for all in a hard-fought and bloody battle.

Although Gregory lost more than 40,000 soldiers in the first round of siege battles, the loss of more than 40,000 soldiers could not be attributed to the battle itself.

Now, all the fighters in southwestern Lunan have turned away from the counterinsurgency army and become part of the rebel army, but Gregory believes that this has weakened the overall strength of the counterinsurgency army, and also improved the cohesion of the counterinsurgency army under his command in disguise.

Sure that it is impossible for his soldiers to betray his Gregory, he is determined to use a bloody battle to make the rebels understand the consequences of betrayal.

After the 52,000 counterinsurgency soldiers left the camp, the 7,000 cavalry left the main camp and cruised around the right flank of the army, while François, the general under Gregory, led 15,000 soldiers to advance as the vanguard of the army.

François had only 15,000 soldiers under his command, while Nishimura had 30,000 foreign soldiers under his command.

When the distance between the two armies was shortened to about 300 meters, Nishimura, who could already clearly see François's face, suddenly pulled out the long sword at his waist, pointed at the sky and raised his arms and shouted: "Long live freedom! Long live the Kingdom of Lucy!!"

"Long live freedom! Long live the kingdom of Lucy!!"

"Long live freedom! Long live the kingdom of Lucy!!"

"Long live freedom! Long live the kingdom of Lucy!!"

The 30,000 soldiers who were able to be selected by Nishimura Jun to join the foreign army not only received the brainwashing propaganda of Yoki Yamashita, but also accepted this brand-new idea from the bottom of their hearts; therefore, after Nishimura Jun shouted this slogan, the 30,000 soldiers immediately shouted loudly.

The deafening shouts were like a tidal wave, wave after wave, but to the ears of Gregory and François, it seemed so piercing;

François, who was extremely angry, immediately drew his sword and shouted: "For Lucy's eternal survival, fight to the end!"

"For Lucy's eternal survival, fight to the end!"

"For Lucy's eternal survival, fight to the end!"

"For Lucy's eternal survival, fight to the end!"

The 15,000 soldiers in the vanguard of the counterinsurgency army, who were also extremely high-spirited, used their angry and persistent slogans to express their deep anger at the rebels' move to establish a state and claim the king.

"Brothers, for the sake of the freedom and future of our Lucy Kingdom, kill with me!"

"Brothers, follow me for the sake of our eternal Luxi tribe!"

François and Nishimura, who roared at the same time, led their warriors under each other's command to pounce on each other like a tide, and the earth-shattering decisive battle between the 100,000 troops of the Lucy Kingdom and Gregory's counterinsurgency army finally began.

The sound of the majestic trumpets sounded in the rear of the two armies, the irritable roars of the soldiers after the battle, and the piercing sound of the long sword exchange made the soldiers of the two armies fight to a fever pitch as soon as they clashed, and the blood of the enemy made the soldiers of the two armies fight fiercely.

François's warriors were superior in combat, but Nishimura's soldiers, who were twice as numerous as the enemy, and were more sophisticated in weaponry, were playing an immeasurable role that they were gradually gaining the upper hand.

After about an hour of heads-up fighting between the vanguards of the two armies, Nishimura's division had become more and more dominant, and François's division, which was seriously understaffed, could no longer even maintain their battle line, and could only rely on narrowing the front to relieve the pressure.

Nishimura, whose main force had difficulty breaking through the enemy's frontal defense line, decisively strengthened his own forces on both flanks, intending to expand the superiority of his own army's two flanks, developing his own crescent-shaped front into a concave front, and focusing on striking at the enemy's relatively weak two-wing defense line.

François was powerless to resist in the face of the aggressiveness of Nishimura and his vanguard army, and he was unable to resist in the midst of the chaos, and he had no choice but to allow the casualties of the soldiers on both flanks to rise sharply except for the limited number of soldiers on the frontal front as much as possible.

Gregory, who personally led 30,000 soldiers and 7,000 cavalry in the rear, would not let François's 15,000 vanguard soldiers be trapped; seeing that Nishimura's concave front was about to be formed, he decisively sent cavalry units to reinforce François, who was in a bitter battle.

The 7,000 cavalry, 2,000 on the left and 2,000 on the left and right, went straight to the left and right flanks where Nishimura's attack became more and more ferocious, while the 3,000 cavalry, which was the strongest, attacked Nishimura's central main force from the flanks, as if they wanted to end the powerful offensive of Nishimura's vanguard army in one fell swoop.

Natsukawa Heigong, who personally led 70,000 soldiers in the rear, naturally could not sit idly by and watch Gregory's cavalry disrupt the great offensive of Nishimura's spearhead, so his 15,000 reinforcements also went straight to the battlefield while the enemy cavalry was dispatched.

After all, the speed of the infantry was not as fast as the cavalry, and the enemy's cavalry, which had entered the battlefield first, launched a fierce charge on the two flanks of Nishimura's army; Nishimura, who was caught off guard, had to desperately draw troops from the main force in the center to block the onslaught of the enemy's cavalry.

Having to fight the enemy head-on and resist the cavalry charge behind him, the two-wing warriors under Nishimura's difficult situation did not last long before the formation became chaotic, and then the main force of Nishimura's central front also ushered in the charging enemy cavalry.
