"The Svadians are coming!"

"Those cowards on horseback are coming!"

In the Nord camp north of Reborette, the horns were all sounded, and the Nord soldiers, who had been eating and drinking around the pot, immediately threw away their bowls and dry bread, grabbed their weapons and prepared for battle.

But as they rushed to the outskirts of the camp, the ground trembled beneath their feet with the beating of horses' hooves, while the pennants on the cavalry spears of the Swadia cavalry fluttered in the wind, and the shouts of the warriors shook the sky.

Countless cavalry horses formed a black line on the horizon, stretching from the east side of the camp to the west side of the camp.

In the face of this huge cavalry force, if it were to be changed to other countries, even if it was the Rhodok infantry known for its discipline, and the Vekian infantry known for its tenacity, even if they had more than 10,000 people, they would be timid when facing thousands of cavalry, or the strongest heavy cavalry force in Svadia. Consumed by fear.

But when the Nord soldiers saw the Swadia cavalry in the distance through the camp's wooden fences and simple trenches, half of the soldiers were in high spirits, striking their shields with their tomahawks and shouting slogans in the northern native language, and rushed to the outskirts of the camp.

The Nord archers, dressed in tight leather and chain mail, rushed out of the camp, stood in front of the trench and drew their bows, and fired arrows at the galloping cavalry phalanx.

Although only some of the archers came to the front in time to shoot, the continuous firing of hundreds of bows and arrows still caused some casualties to the light cavalry troops in the charge.

The composition of these light cavalry was very mixed and unevenly equipped, ranging from Swadia light infantry and infantry who had mastered the art of horsemanship, to a large number of caravan escorts and a small number of hired horsemen from the mercenary series. There were even nomadic mercenaries from the eastern steppes, who often fought in only robes, but were skilled in equestrianism and mounted archery.

After nearly 50 hussars had been killed by bows and arrows, their horses had fallen to the ground and been trampled by the horses behind, and the Swadia hussars finally approached the Nord camp and the trench they had dug.

As the horses approached the trench, the light cavalry began to gallop back and forth around the camp, throwing weapons such as javelin flails or shooting arrows from their horses to kill the poorly armed Nord archers. More often than not, though, they were busy with the work of throwing the cloth bags prepared on horseback into the trenches.

The package was full of sand, and the light cavalry threw the cloth bags in a more concentrated manner. After about three minutes of running around the camp in front of a large contingent of light cavalry, several roads filled with sand bales appeared in the Nord trenches. It's still not flat, but it's enough for the horses to carry the riders across it.

The Nord warriors, clad in chain mail and with battle axes in their hands, had also arrived outside the camp by this time, and they formed a line in front of those paths, fearlessly raising their shields, spears and one-handed battle axes, and using their bodies to form a line of defense against the cavalry.

Of course, when the Swadia light cavalry charged from those paths, they would also throw their axes and short javelins, the two most common high-kill throwing weapons used by the Nord infantry, at the horses of the cavalry. They were well aware that a fallen rider could easily be trampled to death, and a fallen war horse would also affect the charge of the cavalry behind them.

The Nord warriors fought bravely, and their skillful spears stabbed their horses in the vital parts of the horses, stabbing the riders on horseback. If the opponent falls off their horses, the Nord warriors will cleanly decapitate them with their battle axes.

However, despite blocking the passages, they could not stop the cavalry circling the camp from throwing lit torches into their camp, let alone the flames from spreading through the somewhat chaotic camp.

For the Swadian side, and especially for Earl Dalewilliam, who was in charge of the light cavalry, the situation was not going well. The heavy cavalry troops were soon to arrive, but the light cavalry did not storm the camp as expected. Half of the soldiers here are mercenaries, and their combat effectiveness is good, but when it comes to this kind of life-saving situation, it is easy to drop the chain and dare not move forward.

"Attack! Offensive! Offensive! ”

Earl William Dale repeated the order to attack three times before the remaining 1,300 or so cavalry launched a strong attack.

The horses crossed the trench, and the cavalry brandished sabers and swords. Even though they don't have horse armor, and horses aren't tall horses or war horses, they can still knock over enemies in front of them, even if they're heavily armoured.

The light cavalry rushed through the trench, during which the fallen horses filled the trench again with two passages. The Nord archers put away their bows and arrows, drew their swords and axes from their waists, and they surrounded the horsemen, breaking their horses' legs and stabbing them to death. Although they are archers, their melee combat ability is similar to that of Nord's level 3 infantry, although they are lightly armed. More than a thousand archers who rushed outside the camp also stopped some of the light cavalry by close combat.

The soldiers in the Nord camp also recovered from the chaos at this time and regained their fighting spirit. Unafraid of the Swadians on horseback, they poured out of the camp at the orders of the Yars, pestering the cavalry who could not be used because of the small space.

The light cavalry horses were constantly losing, and the casualties of the Nord's infantry were rising. However, when the Svadia side had lost more than a fifth of their losses and morale had begun to waver, the Nord soldiers continued to rush out of the camp, far outnumbering the attacking Swadia light cavalry.

Earl Dale William knew that the time had come, and the scouts had sent back the news that the two heavy cavalry units under the command of Earl Claes and Count DiLinard had arrived at the designated position, and it would only take a few minutes to launch a charge here.

He had his men blow their horns, and told them to retreat in a seemingly panicked manner, as had been arranged, and on the way they had to throw booty such as weapons and shields to the ground, and even horses could be left for the other side.

When the Nord warriors saw that the other side began to retreat, their morale was greatly boosted. The Yars were still in the camp at this point, and most of the Garrs had seen the weapons and equipment thrown all over the ground and thought it was an unsuccessful surprise attack or temptation by Svadia, and they had blocked the guys, and it was time to pick up the loot.

By the time the Yars realized that something was wrong, a third of the camp had already rushed out in pursuit, and a third had blocked the outskirts of the camp and rushed out.
