Chapter 37: Collision
"You can choose when to start the war, but you can't control the time to end the war, and since you have made a choice, you must have the courage to bear the price accordingly!"
- Leo's Diary
On the other side of the battlefield, looking at the soldiers who had been boosting their morale with Leo's speech, Duke Orlando, who had also returned to his own position, pouted in disdain, "A group of well-armed mud-legged people, I have seen this kind of people a lot, when the first drop of blood is splashed on their bodies, like their vile and incompetent commanders, these wastes will just flee in the wilderness." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Remembering Leo's mocking tone, the Duke was furious, "Akmund, lead the Knights to kill them for me, as many times before. ”
"Of course, it's my pleasure, my lord!" The duke's most trusted relatives are not as optimistic as the duke, although they have done a lot of evil with the duke over the years, but Akmund, who has been in battle for a long time, still has a deep vigilance when he looks at the other party's knights, not to mention those exquisite and beautiful armor and the kind of high war horses that he has never seen when he sits, the hidden momentum of the knights is punished, and the silence makes Akmund feel suffocated, that is a kind of indifference to killing and life, this battle will definitely not be as simple as the duke imagined.
Since he chose war, there is no room for unilateral reversal on the battlefield, Akmund, who knows this, can only come to the front of the White Moon Knights and prepare to attack, fortunately, the 150 equally well-equipped White Moon Knights and Servant Knights behind him have regained all his arrogance,
It can be said that the duke's cruel looting and plundering over the years, more than half of the money has been invested in the White Moon Knights, and the knights and servants are equipped with the best knight plate armor on the continent, the best weapons and shields, and enjoy high treatment and even the right to distribute the spoils after the war, even the Duke of Orlando has said in private that in addition to the regular knights, the other half of the servants even have the combat power of many regular knights in the empire.
Not to mention that in addition to the White Moon Knights, there are more than 70 regular knights brought by lords from all over the world in this battle, far more than half of the number of opponents, which is almost crushing in the knights' war.
At the moment when he saw Leo's long sword under his heavy command, Akmund also howled angrily, raised his spear and led all the knights and servants behind him to charge, the two knights collided like two armored trains moving forward at high speed, this is also the most cruel and blood-boiling scene in the knight duel, let your swordsmanship be excellent, let your armor hideous, under the impact of up to several tons, the victory or defeat is almost instantaneous.
The short distance passed in an instant under the full speed charge of the knights on both sides, and the brave won when they met on a narrow road, and at this moment, including the people of the Swan Knights who followed behind the knights of punishment, none of them flinched, and the two teams were like two giant beasts of the ancient wilderness crashing together violently in a loud noise, and the terrifying scene even made the entire battlefield stand still for a moment, regardless of friend or foe.
When time began to flow again, other sounds were heard from the center of the impact, countless cavalry spears and spears were struck into the enemy's body, the sound of dense bone cracking, the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground and the screams of war horses continued to be heard, and two knights of the same formation crossed in the blink of an eye, but the previous complete formation seemed to have been heavily dug out of it by a spoon.
Finn threw down the cavalry spear with only the handle left with red eyes and a little panting, drew out his long sword and looked at the punishment knights in the reorganized team behind him, nearly 10 punishment knights fell off their horses in this round of cavalry spear hinging, looking at the several unicorns that fell to the ground and neighed at the impact, and the companions who rolled to the ground and did not know whether they were alive or dead, Finn knew in his heart that even if he had the good protection of the punishment knight armor, the length of the cavalry spear also had an advantage, and it was quite dangerous to be picked off in such an impact, so he could only hope that the companions in the field were just unconscious caused by the impact.
Just when Finn was angry at the possible loss of the knights, the tragic situation of the White Moon Knights on the opposite side made Akmund want to cry without tears, under the impact of this round, more than 200 knights behind him now visually measured no more than 150 people, that is to say, in just a few minutes, he lost one-third, and shook off the broken shield wreckage in his hand, Akmund couldn't help but want to curse loudly, "Can you still be reasonable, the knights composed of all regular knights, what a stupid thing that a loser can do!" ”
It's a pity that the war will never be fair, just like they led an army far beyond Leo several times, without giving Akmund more time to sigh, the punishment knights who quickly adjusted their formation, under the leadership of the three Finn, have drawn their long swords, without any hesitation, and accelerated to kill the enemy again, knowing that behind them is the infantry phalanx commanded by Leo, but Akmund at this time did not dare to turn back, so he could only launch a second impact with the knights who also changed into melee weapons.
When the two knights were about to engage in a brutal hand-to-hand fight, the Duke of Orlando, who saw that the situation was not right, did not hesitate, and the largest number of infantry began to trot forward at the command, while hundreds of archers also opened their bows and shot feathered arrows into the sky under a banner marked by a longbow.
Years of experience in war, so that the duke quickly judged the current situation, as a hero, although he trusted, but by no means only relied on his knights, seeing that the White Moon Knights could not open the situation, and even tended to be inferior on the scene, he decisively sent the remaining forces in his hands, and tried to destroy Leo's few soldiers in the infantry, and then join forces with the knights to surround the other horseman.
It's a pity that Leo, who had been prepared for this, had already given the order through the banner of the attendant when he saw the deployment of the opponent's long-range troops, and with the order given, all the champion swordsmen raised their shields, according to the daily training, the shields of the soldiers on both sides and in front of them were laid flat in front of them, and the middle rows were erected shields held high above the top, and the hard training on weekdays had good results at this time.
All the soldiers almost subconsciously completed the move, and the entire phalanx of champion swordsmen instantly turned into a steel fortress closed on all sides, tightly enveloping everyone.
As the first wave of feather arrows flew in the sky for a few seconds and then fell with gravitational acceleration, Rhodes, who was standing in the first row, closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, there was no time to regret and despair, listening to the feather arrows hitting in front of him like rain and the sound of "crackling" above his head, the time was as long as a thousand years had passed, for a long time, as the sound gradually disappeared until it stopped, Rhodes and his companions around him tentatively moved their shields tentatively, looking at themselves who had not been hurt in any way, Rhodes and other soldiers shouted frantically at the sky, At this moment, the last vestiges of fear were far away from them.
In the face of the overwhelming enemy who was gradually approaching and had accelerated and ran, the banner of the attendant under the order of Leo in the array changed, and he waved it forward desperately, and the champion swordsman who understood the order, under the leadership of the temporary officer and Rhodes and other squad leaders, covered the shield in front of him, and took a neat step forward with a sword in his right hand, and then two and three steps, "Boom!" Rumble! Rumble! "The heavy steps are brushed together, and the nascent champion swordsman battalion is facing several times the enemy, and under the order of Leo, it fearlessly responds to the enemy's provocation with a more resolute attitude.
