The scouts sent by Juan reported to him that the infantry of the Kingdom of Salins in the upper reaches of the river bank had stopped moving forward, and seemed to be only stationed in place, adjusting their formation.

"Those Imperial cavalry seem to have been defeated, and your cavalry team must have fled, right?" Juan, who even had a thick layer of fat on his eyelids, laughed at Lord Martin, Viscount Hollis's nephew.

Martin dared to be angry, his status was too much worse than the "fat pig" in front of him, so he had to say: "Those cavalry should have withdrawn to the area of the castle, so that those bandits will not dare to continue to advance, otherwise they will fall into the range of our combined attack." He also saw the cavalry lose their armor, and of course it wasn't as simple as a tactical move.

"Hehe, that's a good point, but if something happens, I'm going to use a secret weapon!" Although Juan was fat, he didn't have the bad habit of talking while chewing on a piece of meat and chicken thigh. The secret weapon he spoke of was unknown to Martin, and Lord Martin had never heard his uncle Hollis mention any secret weapons for reinforcements from Grimmko when he left Riverside Castle. Aren't those huge trebuchets behind ballista carts Juan's secret weapon?

While the leaders of the East Oguna Empire were discussing the military situation, the potato mercenary group brought by Fid had joined the melee on the northwest side of the riverbank.

Many of the Imperial soldiers who had already crossed the river were scattered and scuffled with the Tearing Mercenary Regiment and the Church Armed Soldiers. And the more than 100 people of the Potato Mercenary Regiment also approached the periphery of these melee groups and found some Imperial troops who rushed out as opponents.

The squadron of hammermen and axes led by Marcus and Matthews was the most courageous, and when they saw an enemy, they slashed an enemy, and although more than thirty of them were quickly scarred by the enemy, they seemed to feel no pain, and they were very brave and brave.

Avi, Hughes, and Luca led more than a dozen cavalry to intercept the Imperial troops who wanted to escape on the outskirts, and their numbers were so small that it was impossible for them to rush into the melee group. Patrick and Noor stood on either side of Fed, and they were met by disoriented and soulless Imperial soldiers, so it only took a few efforts to defeat the confused Imperial troops.

Only Ayana and Big Nose Van stood last of all. With a dagger in her hand, Ayana watched her surroundings vigilantly, and instead of shooting arrows at the enemy in the melee, she kept looking back at the army of the Kingdom of Sallins on the other side of the riverbank, trying to find her enemy, Chedi. And when she noticed that the infantry of the Kingdom of Sallins had also appeared in the direction of Crafeld City, she approached that side, trying to see if the person she was trying to find was among them. Big-nosed Fan held the ejection iron gun in his hand, occasionally poking the seriously wounded soldiers who were not yet dead, or taking out the contents of the fallen Imperial soldiers to look at them, or taking their weapons and throwing them into the crowd as if they were playing.

Fei De did not have too much control over his subordinates, and in his eyes, this was the biggest difference between the regular army and the mercenaries - freedom. Each captain of the Potato Mercenary Regiment has its own characteristics, they are either agile or calm, brave or cautious, it is impossible to combine them into one weapon, just gather the strength of each person and charge towards the goal. And this process is the best experience of freedom and fairness, after all, every mercenary is equal, and everyone can freely choose how they behave on the battlefield.

For the fourteen-year-old handsome girl Ayana, Fei De did not say a word at any time before. He knew that the other party had developed a certain trust in him, but he couldn't control her because of this. If she wants to assassinate her enemy, Chedy, just go, this is her heart knot anyway, if she can't untie her heart knot, Russell wants her to become an ordinary person again, and it will become impossible to live an ordinary life.

The shield-wielding Imperial soldiers who had been turned into river bridges had dispersed their formation, making it impossible for the soldiers of the Church Alliance to cross the river easily. The Imperial soldiers standing on the other side of the river were armed with spears and aimed at the church soldiers who wanted to climb up from the shore. Like spearspear crabs, they attack soldiers who are entangled in the waters of a deeper river. The deputy commander, Rashad, also noticed that even after they had eliminated the Imperial soldiers who had already crossed the river, they would not be able to get to the other side of the river. Few of the Church Alliance soldiers use bows and arrows or crossbows, and most of them are melee soldiers, so it is very difficult to attack enemies on the other side of the river.

Realizing this, Rashhad immediately sent some of the church's armed men to spread out to the lower reaches of the river, or even swim through. When the soldiers reached the bank of the river, which was not guarded by the Imperial army, they slowly climbed to the bank and began to let their men cross the river little by little.

The Church soldiers who had successfully crossed the river began to encounter the Imperial soldiers who had discovered them, and fought on the other side of the river.

The chief knight, Selena, had brought all the Church Knights back to this side of the river, and was preparing to march in the direction of Klefe City, together with another group of infantry from the Kingdom of Sallins and the mercenary regiment of the Church Alliance, to deal with the Imperial cavalry who arrived later.

"Hey, Avi, come with me!" Selena saw Avi as she passed by the rear of the Potato Mercenary Regiment and saw Avi and the others chasing the Imperial soldiers who had run away from the melee group.

"No, I must follow Fried-senpai, let's see you on the other side of the river later!" Avi swung his knight's sword, blocking an Imperial soldier who suddenly turned around and stabbed at him, and then slashed off the opponent's palm holding the weapon with a single sword, now that he was used to inflicting damage on his enemies, he was no longer afraid to fight.

Selena nodded, she had just returned from defeat over there, and it would take a lot of effort to re-attack the center of the Imperial reinforcements.

However, on the other side, in the blink of an eye, the Imperial cavalry that had bypassed the river and came to the rear of the Church Alliance was surrounded and wiped out by the mercenaries and the infantry of the Kingdom of Sarins brought by Cheddy. Except for the more than 100 Imperial cavalry who escaped, the vast majority of the Imperial cavalry lost their lives in the melee combat.

The captain of the guard, Chedy, was like an invincible warrior, his golden shield easily blocking all attacking weapons, while his short sword could easily cut the throat of the opponent. Not only was he skilled in combat, but he was also able to jump high with ease, knocking down cavalrymen who thought they were safe and sound on their horses. The Kingdom infantry he brought with him were probably the most elite of the 40,000 men, and they were able to complete the encirclement tactics very quickly, devouring the Imperial cavalry that charged at the mercenaries in shields and swords. On the contrary, many mercenaries have become the soul of the Imperial cavalry, or have become meat sauce under the iron hooves of war horses.

These victorious infantry and mercenaries soon noticed the landing battle on the other side of the river. They snatched the Empire's horses and began to advance across the river, slowly crossing the river, and immediately preparing to fight on the other side.

Ayana finally saw Chedi on his horse in the crowd, but the Chedi went around the river and galloped away, so Ayana gave up the idea of going alone and decided to follow Fed's side.

Seeing that the cavalry on the flanks had been defeated, Juan immediately spread out his Chinese army, with all the sword, shield, and spearmen in formation on both sides of the river, and his crossbowmen standing behind them to defend against the enemy.
