readx;
Since Shaun Sterling defected to King Charles, his own extraordinary life situation has even reached a higher level, and now he has not only been made a duke for his outstanding achievements, but also become one of King Charles's cronies, and has been appointed as the commander of the vanguard army attacking Sekorid City.

However, for the attack on the capital of the Holy See State, Sean Sterling is actually quite complicated in his heart, he was not only a loyal defender of the Creation God Alliance in his early years, but also came to Secrid for further study for a period of time, and he has a certain affection for the Inheritance God Alliance and the city of Secreid.
It's just that as a pure soldier, he can still distinguish between feelings and duties in the end, and after so many years of defection to King Charles, he has long accepted the set of things preached by King Charles, believing that people should not fight for "gods", and religion should also abide by its duties and not involve the world. Therefore, this final battle against the Holy See, he intends to go all out!
Upon learning that the Knights Templar were coming at him, he immediately ordered his horses to halt their advance and set up camp to stabilize their position. It's not that he's timid and afraid of battle, but that as a vanguard legion, most of the horses under his command are light cavalry, and it is difficult for him to have an advantage against the Templars who are also fierce and heavy cavalry, so it is better to first deep ditches and high fortifications, resist them, and then wait for the arrival of the heavy cavalry regiment of his own army.
King Charle's heavy cavalry legion now has ten, each legion of 5,000 heavy cavalry, a total of 50,000, these heavy cavalry are based on King Charles's early years of Praetorian cavalry as the team, using wall charge tactics, under their invincible impact, no enemy in this world can resist, and this is one of the important reasons why King Charles launched a war against the Holy See, all the way invincible!
After discovering that Sean Stirling's vanguard army was fighting in a stupid battle, Walter Heinrich, the head of the Knights Templar, felt like a dog, and now Charlie is powerful, every minute of time is precious for the Holy See, if they can't solve Sean Stirling as soon as possible, when King Charlie's army arrives, they will completely lose hope of victory!
It's just that he is annoyed, but he doesn't dare to attack Sean Sterling's camp, the Templar legion under his command is one of the most powerful legions in the Western Continent, but the whole team is only 6,000 people, how can it be used to fill the trenches of the hard village?!
Walter Heinrich was now in a dilemma, and after ordering his soldiers to set up a strong camp, Heinrich returned to his tent and began writing to Pope Byron V, intending to tell Byron V all about his difficulties in order to persuade him to give him the order for the Templars to retreat.
Heinrich was somewhat confident in the effect of this letter, after all, the Knights Templar was the heart and soul of the Holy See, and if it had been stalemate here and finally surrounded by Charles's follow-up army, it would be a huge loss for the Holy See!
It's just that just two days after this letter was sent, Heinrich's troubles were relieved, not that Byron V reasoned to make him retreat, but that Sean Sterling's shrunken turtle finally planned to come out and fight him to the death!
For Captain Heinrich, this is indeed good news, the only fly in the ointment is that Sean Sterling's reinforcements arrived this morning, although there are not many people, only 5,000 cavalry, but it still makes Captain Heinrich's heart clouded, but to end the long stalemate, he still has a sense of amnesty.
So after all of them had accepted the war letter, in the afternoon of the same day, the two sides went out with their whole army and came to the wilderness outside the camp.
Although the sun on this day is the same as it has been all these years, it is not very strong, but it is still clear, at least the light is good, and there is no howling cold wind outside, it looks dry and comfortable, there is no doubt that it is a good day for a decisive battle!
Sean Sterling's cavalry formation was simple, with thousands of heavy cavalry in the center of the battlefield and light cavalry under his command on the flanks.
In order to maintain the width of the line and not be easily flanked by the enemy, Heinrich's Knights Templar had to stretch the formation and put on a long snake formation.
However, Heinrich faced the disadvantage of the strength and formation, Heinrich didn't care, after all, the legion under his command was the top heavy cavalry regiment in the Western Continent, and no matter how many ordinary troops came, they couldn't pose much threat to him, and after learning the wall charge of Charlie's Praetorian Cavalry Regiment according to the cat's drawing, Heinrich was confident that even in the face of the Praetorian Cavalry Regiment itself, his Templar Order was sure to win the battle!
Sean Sterling had no interest in tempting, and after fully communicating with the commander of the Heavy Cavalry, the Heavy Cavalry formed a dense wall formation in three waves, and launched an assault on the Templar Order!
Not to be outdone, the Knights Templar met it with a relatively thin wall formation of two waves!
In the wilderness, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded!
"Commander, are we facing Charlie the Janissary Guard?" Seeing that the other party's formation was exactly the same as his own, Vincent Wisconsin, who had only succeeded Carl Douglas who had died in the Battle of the Curse in recent years, and became one of the ten knights of the Templar Order, asked Walter Heinrich beside him with some horror.
Walter Heinrich was also a little shocked, but he quickly suppressed the fear in his heart and reasserted himself: "What if it's really the Praetorian Cavalry Regiment? Our Knights Templar have been crisscrossing the Western Continent for thousands of years, and have always been the most elite and powerful cavalry legion, who are you afraid of?! If it's really the Praetorian Cavalry on the other side, then let them learn how powerful we are! ”
The corners of the Wisconsin Knight's mouth twitched, he could see the slightest hint of guilt in the Legion Commander's expression, but since he was already on the battlefield and launched a charge, there was no reason to stop or turn back, for his own honor, for the prestige of the Knights Templar, there could be no retreat now, only forward! Forward! Forward!
In this way, the Templars Tie Liu, who was dressed in silver armor and bright yellow battle robes, and the whole body, even the Andris heavy cavalry, whose horses were all dressed in black armor, unfolded the wall formation without flinching and launched a decisive attack on the other side!
The sound of horses' hooves shook the earth rhythmically, the shining armor and weapons were shining in the hearts of the people, and the white breath exhaled by the horses and people had already been left behind before they could disperse!
Three hundred paces apart, both sides began to speed up at the same time!
Two hundred steps apart, the two sides unfolded their respective fighting spirits at the same time, and in an instant, the silver light and the golden light reflected each other, as if the sun and the moon appeared at the same time in broad daylight!
A hundred paces apart, the two sides unanimously leveled the riding spears and horse lances in their hands, at this time, their speed had been raised to the maximum, and there was no room for turning around at all!
"In order to return to the Western Continent for peace!" Sean Sterling, who was on the front line of the wall, roared.
"For the dignity and glory of the goddess!" Walter Heinrich, who was also on the front line, also roared!
For cavalry, a hundred paces can be crossed in an instant, and at this time, when both sides have increased their horse speed to the extreme, just in the blink of an eye, the front rows of both sides slammed together! Just listening to the sound of bones shattering, the screams of centaurs rang out suddenly, just for a moment, the front of the two sides ruled out the existence of individual forces against the sky, for example, Heinrich and Stirling, who were also tenth-level elemental knights, survived, and the others, even the horses were killed in the collision just now! Because the formation is too dense, there is no room to dodge at all, in such a hedge, there are often cases where each other hits each other with their rifles, and the mounts also collide head-on, and once such a thing happens, then it is normal to die together!
It's just that only the first row of the first wave is lost on both sides now, at least in the back of this wave's cavalry, there are still two rows of wall cavalry!
Then two earth-shattering loud noises rang out, and like the first row, the two rows of cavalry behind and their horses died without any suspense!
The first wave of impact formations on both sides has completely collapsed and almost disappeared!
The reason why I say almost, is because there are still two people hedging in the first wave! These two are Stirling and Heinrich, and their force is so strong that even if they are besieged by several weapons at the same time, they can barely hold on!
Immediately afterward, they crashed into the second wave of cavalry formations behind!
However, they didn't cause much damage to the opponent's cavalry array itself, after all, they were facing an extremely dense attack, and it was already a blessing to be able to do everything in their power to save their lives, let alone destruction?!
