The soldiers of the Legion, whose morale was once again high, crossed the long bridge made by the power of magic, and finally set foot on the land of Dongmen Island. At this moment, they could be regarded as having truly passed through the eastern gate of the Orso Sky District.

They are about to liberate the Union. The only obstacle is the enemy army that is not worth mentioning in front of you, and the total strength is more than twice that of your side.

Mencius sighed, waved his banner, and let the First and Second Legions launch an active attack from both flanks. He knew that in this way, it would be his own side that had to fight the bridge battle. However, there is no way around it. If sufficient pressure on the Fourth Army could not be ensured through the flanks, it was only a matter of time before the entire army collapsed.

As a result, as the previous moat of the island was filled, the all-out fierce battle on the central main battlefield was also completely launched.

On the side of the southern front, one side fought and retreated, and the other side advanced layer by layer, so after more than an hour of tug-of-war, both sides paid the "price of blood", and the troops led by Alexson and Hedos finally occupied the entire South Bird Island. On the other side, Elio Ils retreated along the 100-meter-long Talong Bridge with his "heavy losses" to join the Second Legion on White Maple Island.

One or two hundred dead people, of course, are also the price of blood. In addition, the dead were not only serfs and mercenaries, but also retainers, which had to pay a large pension, and of course suffered a heavy loss.

All in all, the two "little partners" who had just joined Lu Xi actually became the first group in the whole army to completely repel the enemy in front and occupy an entire island after fighting a chicken and dog battle.

An army of nearly 8,000 men gathered the opponent's camp and confronted the enemy on the side of the Talong Bridge. Although they achieved a "victory", the two people who led the team really knew too well the manipulation of the gang under their command. The rabble can fight with the rabble, and the battle situation often makes a gong and drum noisy red flag or something. But if you really want to fight against a regular army like the Second Legion, you probably won't be able to go through it for a few rounds.

Yes, the 1st and 2nd Legions, which were demoralized and had no will to fight, were just specimens of the road, but in the eyes of Alexson and Hedos, they were definitely invincible elite soldiers.

It's impossible to fight hard anymore, let alone across a bridge? Fortunately, looking at the other party's appearance, it seems that he is not ready to kill back across the bridge.

So, they decided to trim it up. Then, let's have lunch first.

It's almost ten o'clock in the morning anyway. It was also more than four hours before the first meal in the morning. After "fighting" for so long, everyone has long been hungry.

Although they were a rabble, their rations were really good, with fragrant meatloaf, white bread with ham and vegetables, and even a little wine. Since these two heads of the family would have become the target of Russell's division of the sect, it is conceivable that they are not the masters who are too ugly to eat, and they will try their best to ensure the basic treatment of the people below when they lead the troops out; Coupled with the supplies distributed from the new boss, this gang of serf levies and miscellaneous soldiers composed of feudal lords really threw off the other party's regular army a few streets, at least in terms of food.

No way, Elichar has been on food rationing for months. Ordinary citizens are hungry and yellow-skinned, but of course that's not the point. The point is, the children of the nobles and the canaries they raise canaries have not been able to hold a feast in the sea and sky for a long time, so you gang of fighting men still want to have fresh meat to eat and drink? Can you be fed, do you know how much thought we superior people have put into it? Be grateful, be ashamed!

The soldiers began to eat their lunches, and the soldiers of the Second Legion and the Ils family on the other side of the bridge, smelling the meat on the other side, looked at the half-full sprouted potatoes, stinky salted fish, and the air-dried meat that could be used as weapons in the last century, and felt for a moment that they were not as good as dogs.

"Hold your posts and don't be provoked by the enemy! We are the glorious Forbidden Army soldiers of the Union, and today's suffering is a necessary process for tomorrow's glory! Hardship will forge your spirit, and suffering will temper your will, which is a blessing for you! Lieutenant General Jeff Keringles, the commander of the Second Legion, who had only been in office for more than a month, encouraged the soldiers.

"Since last week, the soldiers have not even had any green and stinky salted fish, only the water that I don't know where to pick up the water and boil it, and they tell us that this is a snack before the war. But you've got whole roasted lamb coated with spices, don't think we can't smell the inside of the tent! The soldiers looked at His Excellency the Lieutenant General's face with oily water, and they wished to roast him as a whole sheep on the spot.

If only the serf conscripts who had been trained out of Stockholm would have been fine, but the Second Legion was also a regular Praetorian Guard, and the soldiers were all burghers, so of course there were more different thoughts.

And just when the soldiers of the Second Legion were wondering if they were going to mutiniate or something, and the lunch time on Baifeng Island was over, the "Heaven and Earth Change" that happened between Dongmen Island and Tianqiao Island suddenly broke out.

The soldier watched the scene in front of him in amazement. Dongmen Island and Tianqiao Island roared like an earthquake, and in an instant, a piece of land was lifted up, connecting the two largest islands in the archipelago on the spot. It's a miraculous scene. Ordinary soldiers couldn't tell whether it was magic or a miracle, and suddenly the three armies were in an uproar.

"This, this, the New World has appeared?"

"Goddess, goddess has appeared! The goddess is on his side! ”

"Mom, I'm going home!"

The soldiers wailed and cried loudly, and this time it was really at the tipping point of mutiny, or even bombing the camp.

"What are you yelling about! That's just magic, ordinary magic! Lieutenant Colonel Vijay, take your men to stabilize the situation! I will hand over the gendarmes to you again for moderation. You're allowed to cut off 500 heads, but if the camp is bombed, send your own heads! Lieutenant General Jeff shouted.

The captain of the guard, who had brown skin and horns on his forehead, and the ground covered the sky, and he had orc blood at a glance, saluted and went with a machete. The lieutenant colonel's two hundred men belonged to the commander's elite guard, plus one hundred and fifty gendarmes, and was the only one in this corps that still maintained its organization and fighting spirit.

Of course, thankfully, this is a world where the occult is prevalent after all. Although these few elites were also shocked by Fang Cai's miraculous scene and were almost speechless, under the orders of the officers, they were still able to endure the panic and trembling in their hearts, and regain a certain level of calm to carry out the order.

In short, when the heads of dozens of unlucky people who shouted the most and danced the most happily were hung on the flagpole, the commotion was finally suppressed. Of course, we also have to thank the enemy on the other side of the bridge is really not a good soldier, on the one hand, lunch has not been finished, on the other hand, he is also shocked and speechless by the strange scene just now, otherwise take this opportunity to have a whole army assault, the battle situation is really difficult to say.

"He, he, this...... What kind of beings are they fighting against! Alexon's cheeks twitched, and he whispered. This person who has always been known for his calm and rational attitude among the gate lord nobles turned out to be a little sloppy at this time.

Hedos looked at his friend with some curiosity, sighed, and said, "Fortunately, we are on his side now." ”

"No, it......'s just temporary," the other said. There was an indescribable emotion in his voice.

Hedos instinctively sensed that something was wrong, and said in a deep voice, "Eric, what do you want to say?" ”

"My old friend, we became allies of Rassell Clement because neither of us was very fond of extracting oil from the black bread of the muddy legs. It doesn't matter whether it's a slave, a serf, or a citizen hired by us, our family's income has long since been transferred from the grange and the mines to the sea. But in essence, his reforms are actually beneficial to us. The new federation he leads will still need people like us to maintain stability. The new government after his reforms, Wilanbart and Dandy Lane, will inevitably fall, and then it will be time for us to take power. This is also the result of our discussions back then. ”

Hedos continued to be confused, and said, "So, what's the point of you saying such things now?" Russell Clement is dead......"

"That's where it matters. Don't you understand that the people we follow now don't need tools like us anymore. There will be no place for us in the country he wants to build. ”

"This, this, this ......" Hedos thought to himself, isn't your mind a little out of the box! Why did you suddenly come to such a conclusion?

Alexon's eyes suddenly turned red, and he grabbed Hedos by the collar, as if squeezing out a tone from between his teeth: "Idiot! Didn't you see his ship, and the cannons just now? The twins of the Wilambart family, heh, those genius twins can't hold up in front of them for a few more seconds. That's right, the guiding force...... What a great word, what a word for the future, but what an infuriating word! Don't you know, in the shipyard in Neosfia, in the first year of construction, there were already ten guiding ships going to sea, obviously running on the sea, but the cost and safety factor are much higher than our floating ships. I heard that next year, Auckland will also build its own guide ship. That's all...... One day, what if the people on the ground really cast their eyes to the sky? Can we still occupy the firmament and claim to be the closest people of freedom to the goddesses? The Tisru Core can only be born in the experimental workshops of alchemists, but the Guiding Engine can be made by anyone! As long as that person wants to, any country in the world can share the sky. And he can still easily share the whole world! You don't understand? ”

Hedos, who was as fleshy as a butcher, looked at his friend, sweating profusely, not so frightened by the scene he described—though he did think it made sense—but by the sudden morbid frenzy of the other. After knowing each other for so many years, he really didn't know that this guy still had a sick and delicate side, but the problem is that you are such a rough man, and you are not cute when you are delicate?

After a long while, he said, "...... So, you're not ready to join him from the start, are you? ”

"Yes, there is a future where that thing exists, not our future, there is a future where he exists, and there is no future of the Federation. However, I had to join him to find his flaws. Luckily, I finally found it! ”

He looked into the distance, his gaze beyond the Second Legion, which was confronting them on White Maple Island, and the "remnants" of another old friend, Elio Ils, and directly to the main battlefield on Dongmen Island.

At this time, the main force of the four legions led by Lu Xi had already crossed the long bridge made with the power of magic, and began to slowly advance in the direction of the banner of the commander-in-chief of the noble army. The forward force of 3,000 leading gunners had even arrived on the land of Dongmen Island, and they were directly facing the 20,000-strong front line that Marshal Mencius had placed on the front line. It is mainly composed of the omen soldiers of each family...... Well, to put it bluntly, it's the so-called cannon fodder troops.

No one thought how long these cannon fodder would last, although they were almost comparable to the total strength of the other side. And once they collapse, the one who will face the deadly thorn of the Iron Rose will be Marshal Mencius's own formation.

The only way to stabilize the front, then, is to launch a counteroffensive on both flanks of the enemy. And the only ones who can carry out this task are the two so-called Praetorian Guard Legions on White Maple Island and Fuji Island.

Throwing out the Second Army Corps, which was frightened on White Maple Island and could not attack immediately for a while, the First Army Corps led by Lieutenant General Gerlana on Fujishima's side moved more quickly, and led the whole army to pounce on the flank of the Rose Army on the spot. Of course, this veteran who is also a long-standing veteran will not be stupid to be separated by a bridge that cannot be deployed and a hard attack on the opposite side, but on the one hand, let the battle mages use magic to suppress and pinch their heads, and on the other hand, let the sappers and alchemists build a pontoon bridge.

As mentioned earlier, Fujishima was originally a production base for rattan paper, with factories, farms, and private houses, and if these were demolished, they were barely usable building materials. Of course, the mages of the First Legion can't directly raise a land bridge between the islands and turn the sky into a thoroughfare, but it is still possible to put these door panels, fences, house beams, or something together to make a bridge that is temporarily stable enough for the ironclad men to pass.

In a very short time, the First Army took up five or six makeshift floating bridges and launched a fierce assault at the same time.

The "bravery" of the First Legion also made the Second Legion on the other side regain a little courage, and after leaving Elio's "remnants" to look at the back road, they also began to charge.

By this time, the situation was already obvious, the Fourth Army Corps under the command of Lu Xi was blocked head-on, and the two wings were outflanked, which was equivalent to being surrounded on three sides by an enemy nearly three times its size, and according to military common sense, 90% of it would be completely defeated or even completely annihilated.

However, from the Noble Coalition down to the ordinary soldiers to Marshal Mencius himself, not one felt that they had the upper hand. Field Marshal Mencius was well aware that the counteroffensive launched by the 1st and 2nd armies on both flanks was in itself a last resort to divide the advantage into a disadvantage, and once the front of his side was broken through, it would inevitably cause a chain reaction of total collapse.

…… Perhaps, just count on the arrangement of the god fleet. However, that is his last hole card! Or rather, if there is any leeway.

Thinking of this, Marshal Mencius's gaze couldn't help but sweep to Nantori Island in the distance.

And almost at the same moment, Alexon, who was on South Bird Island, finally determined that he had grasped the battle situation. Although the Rose Legion was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength, it was winning on the front, forcing the central aristocratic coalition to show signs of collapse. On the north and south flanks, the 1st and 2nd armies also tried their best to do their best, and always maintained an offensive against the opposing flanks. However, that's about it. Their only result was to allow the Rose Legion to reinforce the troops passing behind the fortress in the clouds to the battle lines on both flanks, which objectively did attract firepower and reduce the pressure on the central position.

In his opinion, the Rose Legion from the east has already taken the advantage, and the noble coalition army from the west has run out of skills, and it is only a matter of time before it collapses. However, thanks to the offensives launched by the 1st and 2nd Corps of the "Western Army" on both flanks, there was a noticeable gap in the position of the "Eastern Army" due south. As long as you cross the sky between Nanniao Island and Dongmen Island, which is only more than 100 meters away, there are only three or five hundred people in the 8,000 army under Alexon's command and the thin Rose Banner of this formation.

Yes, this is my fighter! Alexon thought.

"Will you stand side by side with me? Hedo. He looked at his longtime friend Hedos.

"From childhood to adulthood, which time has it not been?" The other party's fleshy face showed a helpless wry smile.

"Then, the whole army will follow my orders!" Alexon raised his staff and shouted.

"Great righteousness, in the Western Army!"
