A true knight is never afraid of a tough challenge!

The knight who watched the other side with a blank face entered the final preparations before the charge, and the Fernzema, who had already put on his helmet, walked up to Leo lightly, lifted his visor and asked in a low voice

"Your Highness, can you also prepare to attack, Keith and Aldaryan have already put together their team, this time we have brought almost all 1,000 knights, under the leadership of a few of us, I am confident that you will completely defeat the enemy in front of you"

"No, Grand Master Finn, your request cannot be approved!"

Without waiting for Leo to speak, Al Andergrims, who was directing the transfer of troops on the side, decisively interrupted, and after entering the battle, the marshal no longer had the slightest grace and humility, although his body was still thin, but his face had the iron and blood color unique to a veteran of a hundred battles

Al didn't even glance at his lord, and mercilessly rejected Finn's proposal

"Al, you must know that the first wave of the opponent's impact must be those more than 2,000 knights, under the premise that there is no impact on passive defense, even the punishment knights cannot guarantee a certain victory, or even ...... Have you considered the safety of Your Highness? ”

The continuous orders came out of Al's mouth without any delay, and then quickly transformed into detailed orders from his two loyal guards, hearing Finn's aggravated questioning, Al turned his head from his busyness and looked at Finn seriously

"Your Excellency, Grand Master, we are very short on time, so I will say it one last time, one last time! Your Highness has entrusted me to be the commander-in-chief of this war, and what I need is obedience rather than questioning, especially the strongest combat power, and you must not doubt my approach! Also, I have to tell you that I never had any intention of letting any knights participate in the defense, you just need to be ready to expand the results of our upcoming victory! ”

After that, Al didn't have the idea of explaining again, and began to deploy and transfer troops again......

Leo understood and said to Finn, who was still worried

"Okay, this is indeed my order, dear Finn choose to believe in Al, don't forget that when he was in Pande, he almost led a group of infantry, and the poorly trained infantry was the main force, but he resisted the forces of more than half of the Pande continent for several years...... Go to Keith and Aldalian, let the knights rest and wait for orders! ”

Now that Leo had spoken, Finn, who had nothing to do, could only nod his head speechlessly, but secretly he still made all the preparations for the Knights of Punishment, and if things changed, he had to ensure Leo's safety as soon as possible......

Both sides were preparing, and every second of time was precious now, but after watching for a long time, Leo still didn't hold back and ask Al in front of him

"My marshal, if I'm not mistaken, are you ready to use infantry entirely to block the first and most critical wave of the opponent's onslaught?"

Faced with Leo's question, Al couldn't answer as simply as he did to Finn, and turned around rarely, bowing slightly

"That's right, Your Highness, the people of this continent are still too superstitious about knights and ignore the role of other soldiers, you must know that in the war of that year, every knight in my hands even had to calculate and use ......"

As if remembering something unbearable from the past, Al was stunned and continued

"Believe me, Your Highness, if it is only used for defense, the cooperation of multiple arms can do everything that a knight can do, and even ...... It can be even better, sorry, I will explain all your doubts in detail when the war is over, and now allow me to continue to command the soldiers."

"Of course, my dear marshal, but what are you going to do with me, who is also under your command?"

"All you have to do is stand here so that all the soldiers can see you and see your flag in any difficult environment!"

The time did not pass long, and the army that was well trained and the main body was the professional soldiers of Stormwind City, and some of the Duke of Lancaster and their private soldiers were quickly formed under the command of El, relying on the defensive facilities prepared in advance......

Behind the antlers nailed to the ground, there were more than 10,000 pikemen, including 5,000 people in Stormwind City, and the small round shields as auxiliary equipment were thrown at their feet, and they were tiled to form a layer-by-layer thick formation with thick middle and thin sides, and in the center was facing the arrows of the opposing knights, Al arranged more than five layers of compact spearmen, and the spears of the soldiers in the fifth row were incredibly long enough to reach the shoulders of the soldiers in the first row

As it stretched to the sides, the layers became thinner, and there were even only two layers of soldiers at the very corners, and at the same time, the soldiers in the first few rows of staggered positions, the end of the spears were all deeply embedded in the dirt on the ground......

Spearmen, armed with light cuirasses, shields, and short swords, were silently hiding behind the spearmen, and in the knapsacks of each of them, sixteen mi-long spears were like giant teeth that were chosen to devour, with a magnificent hideousness!

The remaining champion swordsman of more than 10,000 people was fully equipped, the shield tightly protected the entire upper body, leaving only a gap above the bridge of the nose for observation, and the long sword in his right hand hung neatly at his side, and the uniform and well-defined full-coverage steel armor and shield reflected dazzling silver light like a mirror in the sun

In addition to these regular soldiers, the [Savage Force] legion led by Edward and Tedamir, composed of thousands of trained highland swordsmen and barbarian warriors, is not equipped with shields due to their characteristics, and the chain mail defense on their bodies is also slightly poor......

Other than that...... With the continuous waving of a large banner with a bow and arrow pattern on the walls of the Grey Castle, and the sultry voice of Tyre Oreot, the commander of the long-range strike force, everyone knows that the Duchy's long-range troops are fully prepared!

"So, let's get started! Let me see how war in this world is different from Pande......"

Since Leo came to this world, he has continuously improved the status of a soldier, and the good training of professionalism has made every order of El be implemented perfectly and quickly, and after completing the final fine-tuning, he nodded with satisfaction, and then turned his head and said to Leo apologetically

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I need to go to the front to command, it's my duty!"

"Go, my marshal, I will stay here no matter what the war is going on, and it is my duty as well"

After returning the salute immediately, Leo looked at the three regimental commanders with uncertain faces around him, and also understood their thoughts, in many years of war, this is the first time, the first time they have been placed in the rear, there is no danger in the rear, maybe it is also a humiliation for these knights, if it is not for Leo's loyalty, I'm afraid no one will accept this order

After thinking about it, Leo still reassured

"Watch the battle with me for the time being, dear friends, and then be ready for the time when you will need to attack, and I am sure that the marshal will not leave such a decisive force unused!"

***********************

"My lord, it seems that your prediction was right, the number of knights in the hands of that hillbilly is not much, look at the formation of the other party, they did not send knights, but used infantry to defend against attacks, hehe, how ridiculous and stupid, even the farmers in the countryside know that only knights can resist knights in the war, and we will win this battle under your leadership!"

The newly promoted deputy head of the Knights of Glory, some of them were flattering and patting their asses next to Saru

Saru said a few perfunctory words, and subconsciously shook the horsewhip in his hand, I don't know why, although he knew that what his deputy said was not wrong, but why did he always feel uneasy......

After years of forbearance, Saru has developed a character of thinking more about things when encountering them, but obviously this time his master is not willing to give him more time, after listening to Rolf's angry curses and urging from behind, after revealing a wry smile, Saru's squinted eyes opened in vain, no longer hesitated, drew his long sword and shouted loudly

"Knights! Sortie! ”

"Ho!"

Under the leadership of 500 glorious knights, all the knights pulled down their masks and began to accelerate slowly under the horse's trot, because of the importance of the war, all the knights were not only fully equipped, but the war horses were also covered with chain mail, and they did not have Leo's cheating premise, under the limit of weight, so that their war horses could only accelerate slowly, fortunately, the reserved battlefield distance was enough to complete these ......

After more than 2,000 heavily armed knights, along with the horses they sat on, began to move at the same time, people who had never experienced or faced such a scene would never have experienced the feeling of powerlessness and fear......

The ground was shaking wildly, large swaths of snow were shattered and turned up, revealing the black-brown dirt below, the snow splashed between the horse's hooves floated in the air and even formed a whirlwind......

"Steady! Steady! Steady!!! ”

Al was now driven back and forth behind the spearmen, his sword raised high, his mouth constantly roaring, he knew how vulnerable a soldier who had never faced a knight's onslaught in war could be in the face of these spirits, even if he was well-trained

What he has to do is to go to the front line and let the soldiers resist this fear from above the level of consciousness, which is cruel, but it is a process that must be experienced!

Fortunately, Stormwind's high salaries, generous pensions, and Leo's long-standing policies towards the lower classes of people made these pikemen, who were mostly farmers or paupers, even if they were so frightened that they cried, no one would run away with their heads in their hands, and there were even characters like the sturdy squad leader, hysterically and desperately yelling meaningless words to cheer up themselves and their companions......

The distance of a few miles was fleeting after the cavalry entered the charging point, and soon, the spearmen in the front row could already see the flickering cold light on the cavalry spears of the opposing knights with the naked eye! Each spearman's hands clutching their spears were completely soaked with sweat, and the unwavering roar of El was still heard behind them

"Steady!"
