Nothing frightens the infantry more than encountering hoplites. The "Eight-winged Golden Eagle" legion, with heavy cavalry as the main force, launched a group charge, and the sound of iron hooves trampling the earth was like rolling thunder, and the entire Sauron Plain was shaking. Tunnels can't hide creatures as big as horses, so the Emeralds, Glitter Cloaks, and motley armies are all infantry, and they charge long enough for the skilled Sealand archers to rain down three or four rounds of arrows, but when the cavalry charges, the Sealand archers who are messing with the Metin infantry can only pull their bowstrings once at most, and the charging spears are already piercing the tip of their noses.

At the forefront were Caesar's cavalry, armed with powerful, lethal weapons on their horses, and they fought on the battlefield to tear apart all the enemies in their path, allowing their horses to trample over the mutilated corpses. The bloody storm composed of severed limbs and stumps and human internal organs followed the charging path of Caesar's cavalry, tearing the position of the Western Army into several pieces.

The shape shì took a sharp turn, but the soldiers of the "King's Exemplar" did not panic, and even the troops replenished during the recuperation period were veterans of many battles from other legions, who knew how to survive in the face of adversity. The soldiers who survived the charge of the knights' group consciously gathered around their own heavy infantry, and if there was anything that could fight back against the invincible heavy cavalry, it was these warriors armed with spears. Relying on this, the Western Army, which was divided and encircled, formed a number of independent and orderly circular defensive formations. The cavalry that charged into the circle were impaled by steel pikes and horses, and the light infantry who followed behind the cavalry were sniped by the archers who were protected by the heavy infantry. For the Medins, time is on their side, and as long as their crossbowmen phalanx are assembled, it will be the end of these rebellious invaders.

Now that the "model of kings" has suffered more than half of the casualties, even Candal Hoover, who is known as the "god of war", knows that the original battle plan to outflank Paris on the northern route has completely failed, but he has not given up resistance, how to bring Prince Harlan and other surviving subordinates back, and preserve the backbone of the "model of kings" as much as possible is the problem that Hoover is thinking about now. And the only way to survive in a desperate situation is to capture the thief and kill the king, and fight your way out of the siege while the leaderless enemy army is in chaos.

Duke Hoover searched around the podium. Whether it is trickery or numerical superiority, the commander who can force the "Wang Dian Fan" to such a desperate situation is by no means a vulgar person, he pushes others, and when the battle is fought to this extent, any excellent general will personally lead the troops into the enemy formation, instead of hiding behind the soldiers and stealing his life, so this person must be on the battlefield. Hoover was right, and General Bretton, the commander-in-chief of the Mei army, had indeed personally led people to charge and kill, and his goal was clear, that is, the enemy's command platform!

At a distance of more than 400 meters, the two commanders looked at each other from a distance, and although they did not speak, the four tiger eyes collided with fierce sparks when they touched each other. Duke Hoover was a little surprised to imagine that he would be carried in such a young man, but for the sake of the prince and his men, this rising star must fall early today. Hoover handed his spear to the officer beside him, took out his longbow and arrows, and prepared to snipe General Bretton. Although Duke Hoover did not have the title of "Knight of the Bow", everyone in the Kingdom of Sealand knew how to bow his skills, and as the commander of the ace legion, he was a battle-hardened veteran, and his bow skills made many Knight of the Bow ashamed. It's a long distance, but he's definitely confident that he'll be able to shoot his target with one arrow!

However, before Duke Hoover had fully drawn his bowstring, out of the corner of his eye, he glanced about 10 meters next to Bretton, and saw a figure in a gray cloak hidden among the enemy soldiers. Although the man was aiming in the direction of the podium, Duke Hoover felt that the man was not aiming at himself, but at ...... Worst!

It was too late to turn the longbow, because the other party had already loosened the bowstring! Duke Hoover didn't think twice, he threw his bow to the ground, rushed at Prince Harlan, who was standing a few meters away, and knocked the prince away, and the arrow that had been fired at the prince pierced the shoulder of Duke Hoover's armor. The duke screamed, his body was picked up by the arrows that had not been exhausted, and he flew backwards for three or four meters before falling on the wooden floor of the command platform with a "bang".

"Legion Commander!" "Teacher!"

The other officers on the podium, as well as Prince Harun, surrounded him like crazy. On the other side, the mysterious man who had missed his hand paused and disappeared in the middle of the crowd with his longbow.

"Teacher, you ......" Prince Harlan held the Duke's bloody hand, and he didn't know what to say when he picked up his life.

At this moment, the military doctor and the chaplain also rushed to the command platform, took out the arrows for the duke, and cast a spell to stop the bleeding.

"Captain, the arrows are coated with poison. The medic held the tip of the severed arrow, and saw that the arrow was black.

"Bastard! Filthy Medin, who can't win a frontal fight, uses poisoned arrows to plot against the corps commander!" a young officer was so angry that he punched the floor with a punch, piercing a hole in the ground of the command platform.

"Not true. "Duke Hoover has relented," this arrow is not for me, but for ......" Duke looked at Prince Harlan.

"It's all for me, teacher, you will ......," the prince looked full of guilt.

"My injury doesn't matter, it's this that matters. The Duke took the half-bloody arrow from the medic's hand and handed it to Prince Harun.

"It's—your own arrows!," exclaimed another officer.

"Your Highness, please listen to me," the Duke grasped the prince's shoulder with one of his movable hands, "and the moment the killer fired this arrow at you, I could see his appearance clearly, he was ......"

The Duke said the name of a man, and there was an uproar on the podium.

"I see, I know who the traitor is who betrayed us. In the name of the crown prince, I must make this man pay!" The prince gritted his teeth.

"That's right, Your Highness, you must return home with evidence and expose that person's crimes. Duke Hoover said in an exhorting tone. After speaking, he looked at a young adjutant squatting to his right: "Sullivan, your youth and body shape are similar to Your Highness, quickly take off your clothes and exchange with Your Highness." ”

"Yes. Sullivan agreed.

"Your Highness, I will launch a counter-attack, and while our cavalry will break through separately while there is chaos, you will hide among these broken cavalry and escape. With your skills, it shouldn't be difficult to do. The Duke said to the prince.

Harlan shook his head vigorously, "No, let's go together." I will not leave you, nor will I forsake any of my brethren in the Legion. ”

"Your Highness, your responsibility is far greater than our lives. Hoover advised.

The prince refused again: "I have lost you as a mentor, and the kingdom has lost you as a 'god of war', what responsibility do I have?"

"Listen, we need a future king who is sensible and discerning, not a troublemaker. The Duke stared at Harlan with irrefutable eyes.

"That'...... Good. The prince knew that he could not defend himself, so he had to reluctantly agree, "Teacher, I promise you that once I get out of danger, I will definitely bring someone to rescue you." ”

"Leave us alone. Don't waste time moving rescuers, go straight to Aiden Finger. ”

"Aiden Finger of the Condor Eye, wasn't he beheaded by his father for opposing the war?"

"No, Marquis Finger is not dead, he was sent to the battlefield of Maedin as a ransom soldier, and is now commanding the army in the city of Paris. ”

"Okay! I'm going to find Marquis Finger now, he's the 'God of War' on par with you, and there must be a way. ”

"I said don't come to save me. Aiden will escort you back home. He was right from the start, we shouldn't have provoked this war......"

While the dialogue on the command platform is being carried out, the enemy is also making an important move. In the case of this great advantage, the Warlords no longer had any meaning, and the crossbowmen deployed behind the various friendly squadrons quickly approached after receiving the order. The veterans' movements were efficient and orderly, and in just ten minutes, 80% of the crossbowmen were assembled.

"Did it work?" Bretton asked the mysterious man who had returned to him.

"Nope. The other shook his head and said, "Duke Hoover blocked an arrow for him." ”

"I can only express my regret that your 'model of kings' will no longer exist. ”

But at this juncture, the Sealand soldiers suddenly launched a frantic counterattack. Shrouded in the soldiers of the Mei army was not only the familiar sharp arrows, but also the only steel spear against the heavily armed knights, some of the knights who could not dodge were pierced by the spears thrown over and pierced with horses and horses, and the formation of the Mei army in preparation for the attack was in chaos, and the Sealand army took the opportunity to draw light swords and rush up. The armies of both sides were once again writhed together.

"Rush, rush, kill the enemy without leaving a single piece of armor!"

Under the podium, Duke Hoover roared with gauze bandaged on his shoulders and brandished his long preview. At his urging, the surrounding Sealand soldiers unleashed rounds of pounces.

"He's still alive?" the mysterious man couldn't help but wonder about the poison he had applied to his arrows, and suddenly, his attention focused on Prince Harlan, who was standing next to Hoover and protected by several soldiers with large shields, "Damn, I can't do anything about it." ”

"What's the point? He should have known that such a lonely counterattack would only hasten the destruction of his legion. "General Britton thinks about the other side's intentions from another aspect.

With the infantry rushing and killing, there were more than 50 remaining cavalry, who took the method of scattered assault and rushed out of the encirclement from all directions, most of whom died tragically in the chaos, but there were still 8 or 9 knights who escaped alive and fled in the west and south directions on their horses. Subsequently, the herald of the Western Army waved the military flag, and the infantry of the Western Army, who were desperately counterattacking, quickly gathered and gathered around Duke Hoover. "Concentrate on the assault to the north and go to the Troll Plains. At the sound of Duke Hoover's order, less than a quarter of the remaining "King's Exemplar" soldiers shouted neatly, forming a small but sharp "arrow" and fiercely plunging into the position of the "Emerald" legion. The "Emerald" recruits, who were dazed by the "model of the king", were caught off guard and cried for their fathers and mothers, and the position of the "Emerald" was torn apart by the defeat of the remnants.

"They sent messengers to bring reinforcements. "An adjutant came to General Bretton and took into the hands of the commander a short, simple plea for help, which had been found on the corpse of a Sealand knight, and which was found on every cavalryman who broke through.

"Reinforcements, it's two days and two nights away from the nearest town where the Sealand army is stationed, and they can't hold out for so long. General Bretton frowned, "Why did Hoover go to the Troll Plains? It is one of the top ten desperate realms on the mainland, and it is even more dangerous than our pursuers." ”

"But until we see Harun's body, we can't say for sure, if they succeed in crossing the Troll Plains and reaching the Rokar Empire, all their efforts will be in vain. The mysterious man proposes meaning.

General Bretton tossed the letter for help and ordered: "Stop pursuing those messengers, let the cavalry detour back in front of the enemy, and cut off their path into the Troll Plains." ”

Two squadrons of heavily armed knights rushed forward from the left and right sides of the King's Exemplary, four hooves outstripping two legs, and the knights managed to stop the King's Exemplar from escaping before they could enter the Troll Plains. However, after the escape route was cut off, these Sealand people did not rush to the iron wall composed of heavily armed knights, but set up a defensive formation on the spot.

"Aren't they going to flee to the Plains of Trolls?, what the hell is Hoover thinking?" General Briton wondered, but soon he realized what the problem was, "No! Why did Hoover send messengers when he knew it was pointless to ask for help? Those were not messengers at all, and Harlan was hiding in them!"

"No way, isn't Harlan by Hoover's side?" said the mysterious man.

Bretton did not bother to explain, and he ordered more than 100 elite iron horsemen from the cavalry to pursue in the direction of the Sealand cavalry fleeing. At the same time, Duke Hoover also saw the movement of the opposing cavalry. "Not good, our intentions have been discovered, and they have sent troops to pursue His Royal Highness. Hoover said.

"And what now?" asked Sullivan, pretending to be a prince.

"Fight to the point of being a soldier and buy time for Your Highness!"

The Western positions shouted again, and the remnants of the Sealand soldiers turned their guns and rushed to the place where the command post at Bretton was located. General Bretton immediately understood the other party's intentions: "Candar Hoover, you just want to die like this, cancel the order just now, and go all out to encircle and annihilate the 'King's Exemplar'!"

In Britton's opinion, this battle is over, and even if Prince Harun cannot be killed, it will be the greatest victory to completely destroy the enemy's most elite legions.

......

The brutal fighting continued into the evening. Although the soldiers of the "King's Exemplary" resisted desperately, under the disparity of forces, the veterans who had returned from the Ghost Gate Pass countless times finally fell one by one, ending their journey forever. The legendary legion "The King's Exemplar", which brought together the most veterans of the Sealand Kingdom, was defeated and annihilated.

The commander-in-chief of the Medin army, General Briton, came to the last two of the "King's Exemplars" of resistance, Adjutant Sullivan and Legion Commander Candar Hoover, who were now two corpses strewn with arrows, but their bodies did not fall. Sullivan was half-crouched on the ground, holding the banner of the "model of the king" without falling, while Hoover held his back with a broken spear, holding the spear up until he died. But they had a smile on their faces.

The veteran curtain call has no regrets.

"Candar Hoover, I've never been as good as you. General Bretton sighed.
