Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Leander may have been unwilling to die, but for Finn, there was nothing special about killing this knight with very different armor and cloak, and in his mind and most of the knights of punishment there were only two enemies on the battlefield, dead and alive, and nothing more......

In the time of the slight delay here, most of the Punishment Knights spontaneously gathered behind Keith and Anthony after cutting down the opponents in front of them, facing the enemy who was still superior in numbers, and under the leadership of the two strong captains, they used an irregular array similar to an inverted triangle to insert again

Like a hot knife cutting cheese, the Knights of Thorns were scattered again by instinctively gathering in formation, and the Knights of Punishment repeated the same steps, scattering, strangle, gathering, scattering, strangle...... As the number of enemies decreases visibly and rapidly, the efficiency of kills becomes faster

At this stage, anyone outside the battlefield can see that the fall of the Knights of Thorns is only in the blink of an eye, and perhaps the only reason that supports their resistance has not completely collapsed is the most important sense of honor engraved in the bottom of their hearts

This is not an equal battle, whether it is the agility and speed of the war horse, or the sharpness of the sturdy weapons of the armor, under the suppression of hard power, the Knights of Thorns, who have high hopes from the Lan Dun camp, do no better than the other enemies who face the punishments

Coupled with the death of Leander, they lost their unified command, and finally, when the number quickly decreased to less than three hundred, the rout began, but this time due to Leo's order, the Knights of Punishment carried out a decisive pursuit, under the speed of the unicorn, in the end, less than fifty Thorn Knights were able to escape, not to mention the future, at least within a few years, this knight order was completely removed from the mainland

And against their backdrop, only two people were seriously injured, and more than ten people were slightly injured, but the prestige of the Knights of Punishment was even more than in the past, from the beginning of following Leo to this continent, dozens of battles before and after were all faced with superior enemies, but they never tasted the bitter fruits of defeat, and now, even the names of the three captains of Feinkes and Anthony have become legends in the mouths of bards on the continent......

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

The destruction of their own knights seemed to crush the last straw for the infantry in the middle who relied on numerical superiority to hold on to the middle infantry, and the wealth of the southern territory indirectly led to the character of the people living here, who did not have the difficulty of fighting with the sky and the earth in the north and west, and competing for resources with harsh environments and dense forest beasts to survive

The laziness and superiority of life also lead to the fact that most of them have a soft character, and they do not have the determination to draw a sword without saying a word and the patience to face hunger and cold

Because of these differences, regardless of the rest, at least on the battlefield, in terms of the composition of troops, Leo's once poor civilians from the north began to have a clear advantage

Strong body, sturdy armor allowed the champion swordsman to adopt a very oppressive style of play for the first time, morale is a kind of invisible but very subtle thing in battle, he can make a cowardly person brave, but also can make the person who could still hold on suddenly unable to suppress fear

To be honest, because the number of people is only one-third of the opponent's, the casualties caused by the champion swordsmen so far in the battle are not exaggerated, and the infantry is not like the knights, carrying armor and shields, and constantly waving their weapons to make the physical consumption extremely fast, which can be clearly seen from the fact that they gradually began to increase casualties

But there was a contrast in everything, and the weaker opponents simply couldn't seize this opportunity, and after the defeat of the Knights of the Thorns, on which they had high hopes not far away, the chaos began to spread rapidly from a small commotion

First the lightly armed infantry deliberately slowed down their pace to avoid contact as much as possible, and then the spearmen, grenadiers, and two-handed swordsmen, in addition to the inconvenient hoplites who were difficult to break away from and gritted their teeth, even in the non-stop hysterical roar of the officers, the array of infantry on the side of the Lan Dun was inevitably scattered

The speed at which they lost blood became even more terrifying after there was no formation to rely on to protect each other, and in the face of this situation, how could the champion swordsman, who was composed of veterans in both the commander and the rank and file officers, miss the opportunity

"Ho!"

In the roar of the remaining strength again, in the narrow area, the champion swordsman in heavy armor actually started a second charge, in order to save physical strength, some soldiers did not even bother to wave their long swords, but simply used their shoulders or shields to knock away the enemy in front of them and keep moving forward......

The wound was enlarged again, and if you could look down from the sky, the phalanx of champion swordsmen, who still maintained a relatively compact size, was like a peg that was fiercely nailed in, and it was quickly squeezing the opponent's central area backwards!

If Lan Dun's infantry can barely hold on under such a declining situation, after all, they also have a large number of hoplites with amazing defensive power, but after chasing and killing not far away, they have begun to regroup, and the Knights of Punishment who are once again in a charging formation make everyone frightened

In the face of such a knightly order with amazing impact and lethality, even if they are facing the enemy head-on, these infantry dare not guarantee the result, let alone the terrain of the flanks, rear, and plains at this time...... Even a fool understands how terrible the damage of a knightly order that cannot be effectively suppressed under such prerequisites

At the same time, the tip of Duke Landun's tongue was already bitten with blood, if it weren't for the painful stimulation, chagrin, fear, anger and mixed emotions almost made him faint, he didn't care about the casualties of lowly soldiers, he could not care about the loss of massive gold coins, and he could even endure the torture of losing the Knights of Thorns, but he was afraid that the chain reaction caused by this would make him lose his power and lose the supreme right to rely on them......

Holding his aching chest and gasping frantically for a while, Duke Lan Dun's true colors made Duke Lan Dun at least superficially regain some stability, took out a silk scarf and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and whispered to the pale-faced archer commander beside him

"Let the archers prepare!"

"What?"

As if sensing that his brain was confused or misheard, the commander of the archers turned his head to look at Lan Dun with a shocked expression, and even forgot the due respect and etiquette

"I say, get the legion of archers ready to cover the shot, you idiot!"

Blankly pointing to the Knights of Punishment who had begun their final preparations, the commander swallowed his saliva and asked uncertainly

"Follow your orders, Your Excellency, but ...... But even with a covering shot we can't hurt those fast-moving knights, and I don't think it's ...... other than wasting arrows."

"Smack!"

The composure he had feigned could no longer be maintained, and the horsewhip slammed into the cheek of the somewhat verbose officer, and Lan Dun roared viciously with red eyes like a gambler who had lost all his last chips

"I'm talking about the infantry in the middle, you idiot who is not even as good as the lowest prostitute/woman, shoot them to death, I want to see if those bastards covered in iron coats can still stand tall under the rain of arrows!"

The commander, whose cheekbones were almost torn, nodded tremblingly, walked away a few steps, and suddenly remembered something before issuing the order, and a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes, and finally he didn't dare to put the concerns in his heart into words

"There are also our soldiers on the battlefield......"

Under everyone's consternation, the banner representing the archer legion in the Lan Dun camp was lowered again after several shakes, and more than 10,000 archers who had recovered their strength after a short rest raised their longbows in turn......

I have to say that even Leo didn't expect Lan Dun's frenzied approach of friend and foe, at this time, any reminder to the champion swordsman in the battle was already too late, in addition to anger and prayer not to cause too many casualties, Leo yelled to his side with a frosty face

"Ardalian!"
