Manuel made his choice, and the moment he chose to stay, he was no longer a calculating, scheming politician, but truly a knight. If Alan had known Manuel's choice, perhaps Alan's perception of him would have changed. However, the premise is to solve the battle in front of you first.

Garvin led a thousand Northland Tomahawk Mountains to rush in like a tsunami, directly melee with Leonardo's Essis Assault Troops.

The Northland Tomahawks are a killer for Moslian. The berserkers, armed with two battle axes in their hands and wearing a single layer of leather armor, had apparently abandoned their defenses in favor of attacking. And the results also confirmed that they made the right choice.

In the frantic slashing of the Northland Tomahawks, they perfectly displayed their superb combat skills, and each axe carried a huge force and tricky angles. Often an assault soldier wanted to block the axe strike of the tomahawk with a round shield, but he was still chopped out, and the round shield wrapped in iron on his hand could not block the powerful force, and was directly blown out.

It's powerful! And when they are injured, it will provoke their ferocity and become fierce and fearless of death. Leonardo discarded the hammer in his hand, as it was of little use to these men who were equipped with light armor and had abandoned their defenses. He drew the longsword at his waist, relying on a sharp longsword to deal damage to enemies with much less effort than using a chain hammer.

The soldiers around Leonardo did the same, discarding their hammers and replacing them with swords. The conversion of weapons has strengthened the restraint of the Northland Tomahawks to a certain extent. However, a berserker is a berserker after all, and even if he exchanges injuries for injuries, an axe is much more ruthless than a sword, and Leonardo's assault soldiers can only rely on the defense of the plate chain composite armor to support.

The advance of the Blade Array was blocked by a thousand Northland Tomahawks of Gavin, while the flanks were charged by the heavily armed Mao soldiers who surrounded them on both flanks. Fortunately, the combat effectiveness displayed by the infantry of the Essis Legion did not disappoint Allen.

The division is descended from the most famous infantry phalanx on Earth, the infantry of the Essis Legion of the Roman Legion, which is on par with the Roman Legion in terms of organization and tactics.

The two thousand infantry of the Essis Legion formed a phalanx, always firmly guarding the two flanks of the formation.

Jiawen's heavily armed soldiers wanted to rush up, but the first thing they faced was a baptism of javelin rain. The three-meter-long javelin is thrown and falls with gravitational acceleration, and even a tin can wearing heavy plate armor from its prime, let alone an ordinary soldier equipped with two layers of chain mail.

The javelin rain fell, nailing strings of corpses directly to the ground. Often a javelin can pierce two or three people, and with a round of javelins, at least five hundred people are left directly on the way to charge.

Even those who rushed through the javelin rain were left with not living legionary infantry soldiers, but a wall of shields. Faced with the dead shield wall that did not show a single gap, Jiawen's heavily armed soldiers were desperate to use their spears to stab the shield wall.

However, the curved shield can not only cut through the blow of the rain of arrows, but also cut through the spearhead of the spear. So the helpless heavy soldiers only had one trick left, and that was to hit it away with their bodies!

It was finally time to make real contact with the phalanx, and this made the barbarians see the importance of keeping track of the troops.

Each shield is an individual, and together it is a whole. In the face of the shock of the heavy soldiers, the infantry of the Legion held the battle line with the shield wall, and then looked for every opportunity, opened the shield, stabbed the short sword, brought up the blood, and closed the shield. The movements are synthesized in one go, as precise as they have trained thousands of times.

And every action can take a life. Even if a soldier is injured, as long as he retreats, the fighters on both sides will immediately help to fill the position, and the wounded warrior can be transferred to the rear, and the front line is still firmly maintained. Legion Commander Augustus, like every general under Allen, has been fighting at the forefront, intently observing the entire battle column. At the same time, he constantly commanded the fighters to rotate and substitute. Constantly strengthen weak points, constantly correct formations.

Whether it was Augustus, Leonardo, Alexander, or whoever it was, it was the efforts of these generals and the hard work of all the warriors that gave Allen the military capital.

The war entered a white-hot phase, the forward was blocked by Jiawen, and the flanks were surrounded. The archers were already tired, and many of them had their fingers cut by the bowstring. Now it is the staying power of the army and the willpower of the army.

Alan looked nervously at the battle situation in front of him, and most of his troops had now been sent into the field. Although Allen's soldiers are superior to Gawen's soldiers in terms of record and offensive and defensive capabilities, they are now comparing the direction of the entire battlefield rather than individual combat.

And even if it is exchanged with Jiawen with a casualty ratio of one to two and one to three, Alan is not happy. These soldiers were all built by Allen with countless painstaking efforts, and every time Allen lost one, he had to feel distressed. So Alan desperately thought of countermeasures, and the battle between the heavy knights continued. Neither Gavin nor Allen had any extra troops to take care of these knights, and the only thing they could rely on was themselves.

What to do? Where is the breakthrough in the battle? Alan thought anxiously, a pair of heroic sword eyebrows wrinkled.

Suddenly, a pair of warm hands took Alan's hand. Alan looked up and saw a pair of flaming eyes. Fiona's hand covered Alan's hand and whispered, "Don't worry, I trust you."

Alan felt the power coming from his hand, slowly calmed down, turned to Guy and asked, "Is there any news of Guderian?"

Guy shook his head and said, "Back to the Duke, not yet."

Alan nodded, and finally turned to Victoria on the side, and said, "Let's start as planned."

Victoria glanced at Alan angrily, but didn't say anything, after all, it was no longer something she could object. I saw Victoria pull out a cylindrical thing from her bosom. Holding it high, then twisting the bottom, brushing, a bright light flew into the sky, exploded, and emitted a cloud of green light.

Allen's pupils shrank when he saw this, gunpowder? Seeing Victoria put away the cylinder, Alan leaned over and asked, "What is this?"

Victoria glanced at Alan vigilantly and said warily, "Secret."

Alan stared at Victoria for a moment, then turned his head away. Is there already gunpowder now? If gunpowder had already been born, there would probably be more to deal with on its own. Anyway, whether there is it or not, sooner or later this thing will have to be brought over and studied.

When Victoria saw Allen's eyes, she knew what Allen was thinking in her heart, and said angrily: "Don't think about it!"

Alan touched his nose and said without looking back, "What I want, I'll get it sooner or later."
