On the second day, Drogo and Humphrey each marched out of their camp on the hills with a combined force of more than 3,000 nobles from the counties of Lecce and Taranto, and after five kilometers they began to search for the troops of the Holy See.

These noble alliances came from their territories of the counties of Lecce and Taranto, and they were mostly Norman mercenaries and adventurers, who became noble knights after they joined the House of Otwel.

There were more than 3,000 people in military regulations, and the military regulations looked loose and sloppy, and there was no formation to speak of, but if anyone despised them for this, they would have to pay a heavy price.

The majority of this army were Norman adventurers and mercenaries, who were born with a dissolute and ambitious character, and although they marched with a loose and unruly appearance, if anyone tried to attack them, these people could quickly gather and suppress the vast majority of the riots and strike the enemy.

After searching on the battlefield for a while, they really found a Pope's army, and there were quite a few of them.

The battle was soon over, and the end result was a victory for the Normans, with about 300 men captured or annihilated, while the rest of the defeated army fled in all directions, and they had no time to pursue.

In the previous few days, most of the time the enemy and the enemy sent small forces to each other to fight, testing each other's strength, and in these battles, it was natural that the Normans won the victory.

However, they seem to have changed their minds, and after this battle, Dragoo and the others never encountered a single soldier of the Papal Guard, which made the brothers Drago and Humphrey feel a little abnormal and unconsciously vigilant.

"Drogo, it's time for us to go back, the neighborhood seems to be too quiet, and there hasn't been any small force attacking." Humphrey was more cautious, and when he realized that something was wrong, he immediately persuaded Drago.

"We can't just leave it at that, if we don't figure out what's going on, and go back like this, I'm afraid we'll be laughed at by Caesar's guy and called us cowardly softass." Droego waved his hand, stopping Humphrey's continued persuasion, shook his head, and said:

"And you can rest assured, I have forgotten that a large number of scout cavalry and scouts have been sent to the front, and I believe that news will come soon, but it is not too late for us to decide to stay, the camp in our rear is five kilometers away, and we have time to return to the camp safely."

Hearing Drogo's explanation, Humphrey felt much more relieved, and the big stone in his heart finally fell, and only then did he dare to continue moving forward with him.

Just as Drogo and Humphrey's armies were advancing, smoke and dust began to fill not far away, and the sound of noisy footsteps rang out, and countless soldiers began to think about the Norman hill camp advancing, and it was clear that their goal was to conquer it.

With such a big movement, Drogo and Humphrey were also aware of what was going on in front of them.

"Drogo, are they crazy, the Holy See has brought out all the armies and is ready to launch a general attack, aren't they worried that their lair will be cut off?" Humphrey's face was full of surprise, and he looked at Drogo and asked.

"Is there still a chance for the Outville family, whose entire army has gathered here, to attack each other's lair, we must be prepared for a life-and-death showdown." Drago's right hand clenched into a fist and he made up his mind:

"Humphrey, we must organize the Papal troops to continue their advance, at least to delay their advance, and in addition I will send a messenger to the rear to explain the situation to my brother William and that Caesar."

Now is not the time for infighting, even if the Outville family is fierce, it will not make trouble when foreign enemies invade, all family members will choose to give up their grudges and join forces to deal with the crisis, which is the main reason why the Outville family can continue for hundreds of years.

"Drago, are you the heir to the Duke of Apulia, or will I stay here in your place to intercept the Holy See's army." Humphrey was not intimidated by the sheer number of enemy troops, but took the initiative to stand up and break off.

"Humphrey, thank you, let us two brothers come together to meet the strength of the Holy See army." Dragoo grabbed Humphrey's twin words and said with a sincere expression.

Over the undulating hills, an army of more than 3,000 nobles led by Drogo and Humphrey fought with the Lombards, allies of the Holy See, and they fought and staggered, especially fiercely.

Drago's efforts succeeded in slowing the advance of the Papal army, and after suffering hundreds of casualties of their own, they managed to disengage the enemy forces.

Drogo, Humphrey, and more than 2,000 Norman armies began to fight and retreat, distancing themselves from the Papal forces.

The army of the Holy See on the opposite side obviously did not want to let go of the low-hanging fruit, and sent a large number of cavalry forward in pursuit.

"Steady, steady, the whole army is in defensive formation, surrounded by a gun formation." Drogo and Humphrey shouted loudly, trying to organize the army to defend against a cavalry raid.

However, this cavalry not only included those ordinary noble cavalry, but also more than 300 elite Papal Guard cavalry participated in the battle, and they used these 300 Papal Guard cavalry as arrows to defeat one of the defensive formations in one fell swoop, revealing a gap in the originally perfect defensive formation.

The situation was very critical at this time, our army lost nearly three hundred men again, and the defensive formation was in tatters, and the main culprit, the church cavalry, began to turn and rush towards the open gap again.

Drogo and Humphrey felt like they were a boat in the middle of a wave, and it was a terrible feeling that they could be capsized by the waves at any moment.

Just when they were in despair, more than a thousand elite Norman knights and cavalry ran headlong into the Church cavalry, which had lost its speed advantage, with an extremely high speed that was difficult to see, and countless spears, swords, and horses' hooves became life-harvesting scythes, cutting thousands of cavalry to a small size.

"Retreat, retreat!" The knights of the church raised their hands and shouted loudly, and fled with their cavalry.

"Drogo, Humphrey, I didn't expect you to have the courage to stand up to the Church cavalry, I'm simply impressed with you." Caesar took off the iron mask from his helmet, revealing his handsome face, and said with a smile as he looked at the two of them.

The two of them didn't pay attention to Caesar, but just snorted and turned to talk to William 'Iron Arm'.

"Drogo, Humphrey, I'm sorry we're late, let's go back to the camp and fix up, you don't have to participate in the next big battle." 'Iron arm,' William persuaded.

"This is not good, brother, what are we trying for, aren't we just prepared for this battle?" Dragoo shook his head in refusal.
