At this moment, Salian quietly came to the side of the Grand Duke Joseph and whispered to him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Your Majesty, this is a critical time, please allow your ministers to use some special means. ”

Salian has changed the title of the Grand Duke from "His Highness" directly to "Your Majesty", and I have to say that it is not much better than those who knelt at the feet of Duke Kerzen just now.

The Grand Duke also replied without pretentiousness: "Aiqing doesn't have to be rigid in etiquette, now is a critical moment for the survival of the empire, I allow you to use special means!"

Now that Salian had received permission, he took out a magic canister from his bosom and shot a dazzling red beam into the sky.

In an instant, many adventurer-like figures appeared from various locations in the city, some of them holding magic guns, some using cogwheel crossbows, and began to shoot fiercely at the flying knights in the sky.

This sudden attack made the handsome guys and beauties above panic for a while, and several Pegasi were shot in an instant, but unfortunately because of the distance, they were not fatally injured. When the knights came to their senses, some of the Hayabusa Knights who were strong enough to protect some of their long-range weapons immediately protected the delicate Pegasus Rider behind them, and then the most beautiful Pegasus Knight healed her companion with white magic, and the rest of the Hayabusa Dragons were led by their ornate leader to pounce on the most accurate shots, but nothing was there.

"Whoever dares to plot against us, show up quickly, I am Baron Jan Kuzezinski, one of the 'Four Horsemen of the Heavenly Wings'. Unfortunately, no one responded to him, and with such enthusiasm for self-registration, it seems that he "values reputation" as much as Salian.

It turned out that this was the figure known as the first warrior of Gniezno, and he was really good-looking, even Salian, who had always been confident in his appearance, felt so, especially his beautiful mustache, which was also a dream of Salian.

"Dear Duke Kerzen, I advise you to quickly admit defeat, I can take no blame for the past!" After seeing that Salian's army was capable of dealing with these Gniezno air forces, Archduke Joseph was immediately emboldened.

In the square, their respective staunch supporters lined up behind them, and a dangerous confrontation was on the verge of breaking out. Since the people and horses of both sides have been connected in tandem in advance, everyone brought their own elite soldiers, all of whom are of extraordinary strength. Therefore, although Anna, Achelin, Sebastian, Duke Koenigs and others, as well as Miss Garonay, the "Superior Bowl of the South" who had just greeted Salian, were all strong opponents, the strength on the other side was not weak. On the other hand, Duke Colzen had Gniezno's air force on his side, and Archduke Joseph had Salian's lurking shooter to help, each of them violating the rules.

Duke Kerzen knew that the longer the time dragged on, the worse it would be for him, and in the absence of sufficient funds to buy votes, he had to rely on the initiative that the highly mobile Gniezno Air Force had won for him.

"Baron Jan Kuryzinski, please attack at once! Capture Grand Duke Joseph as soon as possible!" Their aim was clear, that is, to wipe out the opponent's leaders in an advantageous situation.

Although the team dedicated to dealing with the air force had not yet arrived, Salian would not let him succeed so easily, and he would have to delay until then. Because the arrows or buckshots fired upwards were not lethal to the heavily armored Hayabusa Knights, the Pegasus Knights were all smart enough to hide behind the Hayabusa. Now in the face of the attack of the Hayabusa Dragons and the magic of the Pegasus Knights, Salian can only let his subordinates concentrate their fire on the Hayabusa that swoops down to the close range, and then quickly hides.

In this way, it was lunchtime, because the heavens were full of delicate handsome men and women, and they left the battlefield for dinner in spite of the repeated requests of the Duke of Kirzen. Hey, it's sad, it's doomed the Duke's defeat to be inevitable.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Salian led Archduke Joseph and the members of the empire of his faction to retreat to the pre-prepared location outside the city, and everyone gathered all the soldiers and guards who remained outside the city of Palatinate, although the number was not large, but they were all elites from all over the place. With the addition of Salion's original army, the total strength increased to 3,500 men. Full of confidence, they are full of food and drink, ready for the final battle!

Salian, who was authorized by the Grand Duke, was not polite, and he first asked the Duke of Koenigs, an expert in imperial protection, to protect the Grand Duke Joseph, which was recognized by everyone as the best choice. Then he asked Achelin and Garonay to lead the first detachment of heavy cavalry, and when he saw Miss Garonay approaching with her mount, he knew that this choice was absolutely correct. Because the "horse" greeted Salian when he met him.

"Isn't this a little white face, hello!"

"Oh, it's Eknos, how did you become Garona's mount?"

"Oh, because I heard that I can go out to play this time, but the duke's grandfather can't take a lot of people, so I have to be Jia Luonai's mount, haha!"

Salian asked, having an idea.

"Can you still fly with Garona?"

"Of course, her weight is negligible to me!"

"So, Garona, you can fight when you're flying, right?"

"Needless to say, I've flown from Vienria to Palettina and Ikonos. ”

"It's a pity that Aeknos wasn't there when I was in the city of Palatinate just now, otherwise you could have had a good fight with that Baron Kurzezinski. It's okay, there's still a chance later!"

"Really, is this man very powerful?"

"That's natural, this person is known as the number one master of the Gniezno Falcon Dragon Knights, I think he should have some ability. ”

"Hmph, watch me cut off his head!"

For the rest of the arrangement, Salian had Anna and the Imperial Count of Ridlingen lead a second group of heavy cavalry, which would be two hundred paces away from the first when they charged. Sebastian had already taken out the famous "Magic Sword Iltrosa", and in fact this was the first time he had used this imperial artifact in actual combat. Aphroa and the rest of the men formed a third group of heavy cavalry, and they did not participate in the first wave of charges, but waited for the decisive moment to be used as reserves.

Salian himself was with the infantrymen, and he was to take part in the bloodiest of burial battles.

In addition, he had to wait for a reinforcement army, a specialized force to destroy Gniezno's powerful air force.

At the same time, their rival, the Duke of Kirzen, had taken up another position outside the city of Palatinate, and the Duke had spent five years and a great deal of money in the struggle for the throne to assemble a team that was absolutely loyal to him, with the original idea of defeating the combined forces of the imaginary Count Paledina and the Grand Duchy of Aldenburg in a small battle. So the total number of people in this team is not large, but it is elite enough.

In order to resist the attacks of the opponent's advanced magic guns, powerful arrows or Mana energy, in addition to the infantry plate armor, they are equipped with special giant tower shields, which have extremely high defense capabilities, and most of them use one-handed mallets and other powerful weapons. There were only eight hundred cavalry, and they were all light cavalry used for reconnaissance and protection of the flanks, and the dukedom of Guy had too few horses, not to mention the fine war horses used by the heavy cavalry. There are 1,300 archers and magic guns, and 200 magic combat soldiers, these are all basic soldiers, although the price is high, but the army of the entire continent is about the same. There are seven hundred people who are different, and that is the Duke's proudest personal soldiers, the elite known as rune warriors.

These soldiers, who have mastered combat skills and are proficient in the use of magic scrolls, are supported by the Duke at a high price, and are his strongest trump cards. Of course, they have not been baptized by real combat, and their true combat effectiveness is still unknown.

There are still 2,000 light infantry left, which is cannon fodder, and we don't need to introduce more.

Although Salian, who had the intelligence of his opponent, was confident of victory in the battle, he still attached great importance to tactics. In the afternoon, he first sent a large number of scouts to observe the movements of the Duke of Kerzen, and after grasping the real-time dynamics, he urged the whole army to advance slowly, on the one hand, because the heavy troops had to try to save their strength before charging, and on the other hand, in order to guard against a surprise attack by the other side. In the end, a position was set up about two kilometers from the duke's army. This was the first time that Salian had commanded a large number of soldiers to form a pig's mouth formation in actual combat, and he inspected it many times from beginning to end to ensure that the formation was correct, but fortunately, the army that relied on the solid color team was very easy to command.

Since the Duke of Kerzen had air support and was very convenient in obtaining information, Salian responded to all changes with no change. The most important thing for him now is to stall for time and wait for the help to turn things around. The Duke of Kirzen could not wait any longer, for the two Knights of Gniezno had only promised to help him for one day.

In the end, the Duke finally launched the first wave of the offensive after promising the Hayabusa knights to double their commissions, and the hoplites in the front row pulled up the tower shields inserted into the earth and placed them on the sides of their bodies, and the passage between the formations appeared, and the hired light infantry passed through the middle, jogging forward, followed by the Duke's runic warriors and magical combat soldiers, and the sky was coordinated by the Gniezno army, who now needed to break through the opponent's defenses in one go.

The air force supported by money showed its real strength at this time, the Hayabusa dragon knights fought forward bravely with arrows and lead bullets, and the Pegasus knights released recovery magic for them in the back, and at the same time threw a large amount of attack magic on Salian's head, fortunately, the magic force here was strong enough, and a large amount of defensive magic minimized the damage, but the spears in the hands of the Hayabusa dragon knights did cause a lot of damage to the rear team, and the long-range troops with weak defense suffered heavy casualties, but in order to maintain the stability of the formation, Salian just let them try their best to counterattack, and did not change the formation。 Luckily, the Hayabusa Riders are too few in number, and each dive attack requires a lot of time to climb and prepare, and the damage is bearable.

Then there was a clash between the two armies, and the line formed by the heavy infantry of Sallian's own team and the personal guard of the Duke of Koenigs resisted the attack of the light infantry, which the Duke of Kerzen may have predicted, these light infantry were just some cannon fodder, because the opponent was pinned down by the air force, and they attacked the pig's mouth formation without being harmed by the Salian ranged troops, which was already a surprise. These stragglers with different weapons attacked at will, and they only needed to consume a certain amount of energy of their opponents to complete the tactical task, and the main attacking forces that followed, namely the rune warriors and magic fighters, all sacrificed their magic items at this time, and threw countless magic of various colors at Salion's team.

The pig's mouth array, which was attacked by the three-dimensional attack, seemed to be in danger.
