In order to make up for his own lack of cavalry, Count Mateas spent a lot of money to hire a team of mercenary cavalry, not seeking to defeat the heavy cavalry of Swadia, as long as he could stop them when the opponent launched a charge. However, when Count Mateas found that Count Rayland's army was in a passive situation, he did not hesitate to order his commander to lead a cavalry unit to rush over to relieve Count Rayland. If the allied forces were in disarray before he joined the battle, the battle would have been difficult to win.

The trumpets sounded, and the banner of Count Mateas immediately fluttered over the cavalry, and the heavily armed mercenaries did not hesitate, and under the leadership of the officers, they clenched their legs and shook the reins, and rushed towards the mixed infantry formation of Nord and Vekia with their rifles in their hands.

Byron, of course, did not intend to let the other party get his wish, and as soon as he waved his hand, the standard-bearers waved their flags, and Fatis, who commanded the heavy cavalry troops, immediately raised his cavalry, and with a short but urgent trumpet, the heavy cavalry from Swadia, Vecchia, and Salander immediately rode forward with their crotch horses, and then faster and faster, until they were fast enough to overturn the opponent directly from their horses with their rifles. Maintaining this speed, they launched a deadly charge towards the opposing cavalry. This is a real test of horsemanship, and everything has to be controlled just right, otherwise they will die on the spot before their riding spears touch each other's bodies.

Despite the greater number of cavalry, Byron had no doubt that they would be victorious. A large group of mercenary riders and mercenary cavalry, plus those noble cavalry of Rhodok, who were not very effective in combat, were no longer the opponents of his elite heavy armor. Moreover, after Fatis led the heavy cavalry to charge, he still had a large number of light cavalry under the command of Rolf to guard the flanks of the troops, waiting for orders to set out at any time.

From this point of view, Byron has a great advantage, his infantry line suppresses the large army of Count Rayland, and his heavy cavalry will definitely sweep away the mercenary cavalry of Count Mateas, and it seems that the initiative is completely on Byron's side. However, Byron knew very well that their advantage at this time was only a performance, and as the opponent's offensive intensified, he had to constantly divide his troops into two waves and continuously enter the battlefield, which is why the two counts had to arrange their troops on both sides of the swamp. They considered the possibility that Byron might concentrate his forces to defeat one of them, so they deliberately chose the current battlefield and the position of the troops. The muddy terrain where Count Rayland's troops were located was very muddy, and the horses were basically running on it, and even if Byron's infantry had the upper hand, the cavalry would not be able to enter the battlefield in time to attack their flanks and crush the Rhodoc phalanx. Count Mateas's troops, on the other hand, were located on the flatter side of the swamp, making it easier for mercenaries to deploy and cavalry to move. In a sense, Count Mateas even exposed the weakness of the formation to attract Byron's cavalry troops.

"Anyway, it won't be useful in the mire on the other side, so it's better to send the cavalry to the other side to contain the enemy." This made Byron think that he was constantly throwing his mobile forces into another battlefield, and the mercenaries, although no more powerful than the elite in the hands of the weirdos, were enough to delay both sides until they were exhausted. After that, the Rhodoc phalanx will be able to continuously drain the opponent's morale and stamina until the Byron's troops, which are inferior in numbers, are exhausted to the point that they can no longer continue the attack. In this way, even if they fail to defeat Byron, in terms of cost performance, Byron will also lose miserably, and the elite troops are all smashed with a lot of money and time.

Both Fatis and Arenn saw the problem, so they intensified their offensive against Count Rayland, and when the first infantry gained the upper hand, the second group of infantry under the command of Desaivi and Bandak immediately entered the battle, and the whole group of mercenaries and mountain infantry marched in formation, and reached the designated position under the cover of the previous group of infantry, while the archers and crossbowmen followed, ignoring Rhodok's crossbow arrows and began to rain arrows at the opposing infantry line. The only crossbowmen force Byron didn't use was Jamila's women's barracks, and Byron was worried that he would run out of arrows in the battle with Rhodok, allowing Mateas's hired crossbowmen to take advantage, so he set aside a crossbowman army to deal with them.

In this fierce long-range firefight, the troops under the Count of Rayland were lost and retreated by almost a tenth, and they discovered a key problem at this time, that is, although the quagmire limited the cavalry of the opposing troops, it also made it difficult for the convoy to cooperate with the crossbowmen, and the senior spearmen and sergeants who were heavily armed also acted to make up for it, and the troops finally regrouped in the queue, but the key troops marched slowly, and the northerners did not take the initiative to attack, and they could only advance slowly and use the opponent's shooters as targets.

However, the attacks of the archers of Vecchia slowed down, and when the Rhodoc spearmen had the time to raise their shields for defense, they put away the expensive conical arrows under the orders of Bandak and fired them with many cheaper arrows, some of which were all wooden. This is nothing else, it is simply to create pressure on the other side, suppress the actions of their troops, the counterattack of the crossbowmen, and buy time for their own reinforcements.

In addition to the crossbowmen firing at each other, the Nord warriors also raised their javelins and throwing axes and began to throw these weapons at the opposite phalanx. Rhodok's broad shield is sturdy, but that doesn't mean he can ignore these throwing weapons. Although not many people died as a result, the impact of these axes and javelins on their morale was very obvious.

On the other side, Fatis's heavy cavalry had also approached the mercenary cavalry, two rows of cavalry spears reflecting white light in the sunlight, and the horses splashed muddy water on the ground as they ran. Hundreds of heavy cavalry lined up in two conical formations as sharp as sharp knives, and in the midst of this terrible impact, only one sharp blade could survive.

Eventually, as the two spears in the front collided together, the engagement between the two sides continued to spread, and in this huge collision, every moment the riders were knocked away, and the wounded horses fell in serious injuries. In the midst of this cruel ritual of iron and blood, the warrior must learn to persevere, because the slightest mistake will lead to a fall and be trampled to death.

The brave cavalry justified their high salaries, and also showed that these heavy cavalry would pray like a god before entering the battle, and leave everything behind after the battle. Because they deeply understand a truth:

"It doesn't matter about identity, it doesn't matter about wealth, under the gun, all beings are equal!"
