In the open meadows of the mountains, the two armies lined up and held each other.

The sharp mountain wind whistled by, blowing the silk flags embroidered with the coats of arms of each family.

The sun is about to rise to the highest point of the day.

The knights lowered their visors and gently patted the horses beneath them.

The soldiers moved and tightened their grips on their weapons.

The peasants with simple weapons behaved in different ways, some shivering with nervousness and cold hands and feet, while others had eyes full of eyes.

The muffled sound of trumpets sounded from the formations of the two armies, flags waved, and the battle began.

The first to rush out was cannon fodder from both sides......

On the hill not far away, merchants who had followed the army in business gathered to watch the battle below and discuss the purchase of the post-war booty.

In the past, the business was small, in order to build good relations with people in the army, so that they could buy the spoils of war after the war.

The merchants from the Agrigento region were excited, for there were many more troops on their side than on the other side.

There were more than thirty knights on Agrigento's side and only twenty on Trapani's side.

Soldiers, including cavalry, pikemen and archers, numbered nearly four hundred on Agrigento's side and two hundred on Trapani's side.

Even as cannon fodder for farmers and mercenaries, Agrigento was more than half as much as Trapani.

In terms of troops, Agrigento had the upper hand on his side.

"Agrigento's side is lost. Gnaro shook his head and whispered to the girls beside him, "Unless Charles is willing to help Agrigento's side." ”

Donna, who was standing beside Genaro, nodded and agreed, "Yes, it's very difficult for Agrigento to turn the tables." ”

With Gnaro partially trained in military theory, and Donna having experienced countless battles, the two of them quickly saw the true contrast of power on the battlefield.

A pair of thin little hands suddenly grabbed Genaro's arm, and the little girl asked anxiously, "Brother Genaro, is Brother Charles in danger?"

Garnaro patted the little girl on the head dotingly—just like his sister patted him at home—and said, "Don't worry, the battle of less than a thousand men is a small scene for Charles." ”

Donna also said, "Don't worry, although that person is very annoying, I have to admit that he is very strong." If he wants to run, no one can stop him. ”

Deborah and Rucia on the side also comforted the little girl who had just been sent out of the barracks by Charles a few days ago, they had seen Charles who killed the monster in Onna City, and knew that this guy was not simple.

Gnaro and his gang were very sympathetic and affectionate to this ten-year-old little sister, and after learning that her little sister's name was "Radish", Deborah gave her the pseudonym "Tilly" that she used to hide from her relatives in Florence.

At this time, Charles was mixed in the cannon fodder battalion, and rushed to the pseudo-cannon fodder battalion on the opposite side that seemed to be cannon fodder, but was actually composed of adventurers.

As soon as they made contact, the people around Charles who were surrounded by a large number of people and morale were instantly knocked to the ground by the experienced adventurers, only Charles, who was holding a sturdy long wooden stick, fought and retreated, stabbed down a few lightly attacked adventurers and joined the mercenaries behind.

But this is useless, after the full number of civil servants is overturned, the number of mercenaries on Agrigento's side is much less than the adventurers and mercenaries on the opposite side, and it is only a matter of time before they are defeated.

In the distant mountains, Gnaro and the others soon spotted Charles, who was a bit conspicuous in the crowd.

A few mercenaries faced Charles's hard stubble, but Charles made a gesture to a few of them that he had learned from Ah Fu, and the mercenaries glanced at each other, and then launched a fierce attack on Charles.

"Tsk......" Donna shook her head, "so mercenaries aren't reliable at all." ”

Charles's side seemed to be fighting fiercely, but in fact, anyone with eyes could see that those people were playing.

It's just that Charles's cannon fodder on their side is almost exhausted, and Charles is not good to be alone, so he screams and falls to the ground, and several dinars are exploded at the same time.

The mercenaries who finished acting with Charles picked up the silver coins on the ground, and one of the mercenaries said to Charles on the ground, "Wait a minute, don't be trampled to death by the horse." ”

Seeing Charles fall, Tilly was so frightened that she almost cried.

Without Charles, her ultimate fate would have been either to be ruined to death in the barracks or to die on the battlefield below.

Lucia hugged Tilly from behind, cast a calming spell on her, and said, "Don't worry, he's fine." ”

At this time, the form on the battlefield took a new turn.

The cannon fodder on Agrigento's side was defeated, and the mercenaries who could still move saw that they were invincible, and they burst out of various currencies or equipment, and then ran away towards both sides of the battlefield.

Some of the peasants who had been carrying corpses on the ground were like the mercenaries, and one by one they got up from the ground and ran along.

Charles, who is not very experienced, was unlucky, he did not get up in the first place, and as a result, he was stepped on a few times.

"Huh?" said Donna, "why didn't Charles run?"

Gnaro pondered, "He probably has his own plans. ”

"His identity is special, and if he runs away like this, it will not be good for his reputation. ”

After eliminating the opponent's cannon fodder, the infantry on the side of Trapani began to press, and the cavalry began to move.

Adventurers and mercenaries on Trapani's side began to approach Agrigento's infantry, wielding their weapons to fend off the arrows fired by Agrigento's archers, which did not pose much of a threat to them for a short time.

The level of archers in the Kingdom of Schberg was average, and that level made Charles, who was lying on the ground ready to see the situation, shook his head.

Now Agrigento's side saw clearly the tricks on the other side, and Trapani's side took advantage of the fact that there were many adventurers on the edge of the forest, so he spent money to invite a lot of adventurers. Now these adventurers are consuming their own arrows and archers' arms in front of them, in order to gain a head start in the next infantry battle.

Agrigento's side is not worried, and the decision to win or lose the battle depends on the performance of the knights.

Now they have a lot of knights, as long as their knights kill the knights and cavalry on the opposite side, and then kill the infantry on the opposite side, the next thing is to capture the prisoners.

Just as the infantry of the two sides began to fight, the knights of both sides set up on the flanks and began to charge face to face.

The armored knights glowed with colorful light, and the knights, blessed with magic and magic, rushed towards their goals.

The horse's hooves trampled heavily on the dry earth, like a drum hammer smashing on the drum surface, making a "rumbling" sound that shook every inch of space around and everyone's heart.

The girls on the hill looked nervously at where Charles was lying, not far from the battlefield where the knights were fighting.

The distance between the two sides was rapidly approaching, the cavalry spears were raised, and the knights were ready to wait for the moment when the tip of the spear collided with each other.

"It's on!" Gnaro shouted suddenly.

Donna let out an "um", paying the same attention to every change on the battlefield.

I saw that the colorful magical light on the twenty knights on Trapani's side suddenly disappeared, and in the next moment, a thick layer of earthy yellow magical light enveloped them.

At the same time, the knights suddenly made a slight turn and rushed to the left flank of the opposing side.

"Perfect magic sync!" said Genaro, heartily complimented.

I saw that those Trapani knights relied on the magic shield that was equivalent to nearly forty people cast at the same time, and they were not afraid of the opponent's attack, like a flat wall, and forcibly knocked off their horses the enemies who were fighting on the magic shield on the opposite side.

"It's far from perfect. Donna said to Genaro, "If you've seen Catherine's Praetorian Guards put on a show, that's what they call perfection and art." ”

"They can switch between defense and offense in a split second of engagement. ”

"My master failed to break their defenses at the first time, and the next moment they were severely injured when they switched to offensive mode. ”

"If Pendragon hadn't come to the rescue with someone, you wouldn't have been born. ”

Gnaro's heart moved, and he looked at Donna in surprise.

Danna glanced at him and continued, "At that time, my master was the Grand Duke of Milan at that time. ”

"And the female dragon you saw that morning, her name is Nessalio, and I was defeated by your ancestors when I joined forces. ”

"At that time, we didn't expect that she could actually synchronize with the magic power of the demon army. ”

Here Donna finished telling the history, and the first round of the knight battle under the mountain was over.

Trapani's twenty knights knocked a dozen knights on the opposite left flank to the ground, instantly eliminating the numerical disadvantage.

The knights who fell to the ground were protected by strong armor and magic shields that had not yet been overloaded, and even if they were stepped on by the opponent's war horse a few times, they were only seriously injured and incapacitated.

The twenty knights were unscathed, and only one unlucky knight was mounted on his horse by Charles, who jumped up from the ground, and was then knocked unconscious and taken away by Charles.
