Chapter Eighty-Five: Decisive Victory

At this moment, from the side of the Salian position, something like a shuttle suddenly shot out, and these huge sharp weapons went straight for the Hayabusa Dragon Knight in the air, instantly piercing several artificial wurms wearing heavy armor, they screamed and fell to the ground, and then were pierced by countless spears and sharp blades. The remaining Hayabusa dragons www.biquge.info also scattered uncontrollably, dodging attacks, and the Pegasus knights in the rear fled far away.

Salian looked back and saw that the reinforcements he had been eagerly awaiting had arrived. Because of the long distance, the team from the Neumark Territory, who had just seen the Hayabusa and Pegasus hovering in the sky several kilometers away, knew that time was pressing, so they quickly changed to a rapid march to the battlefield, and when they reached the range of their weapons, they immediately entered the battle. Their guide, a mercenary who knew the road well, was a great achievement, starting at about the same time as the main force of the Duke of Kerzen, and at the end of the journey, only a day behind the Duke's army. Led by Salian's closest subordinate and lover, Lorana Eath. At that time, this special team, after receiving orders from Salian, secretly set out from the station and advanced all the way to Paletinnay, and finally reached this place a week later.

They were the anti-aircraft units specially created by Sallian's uncle, the alchemist Dietrich, armed with throwing spears specially developed to deal with the two Knights of the Sky. The shaft of this spear is made of ordinary light wood, the tip of the spear is nothing special, it is in the form of a steel cone, its most important feature is the rear, and in order to improve stability in flight, this spear has a folding four-piece tail. Of course, these are not the most important things, the key is that they are fired using a gadget invented by the ancient empire, the individual spear thrower. As a young man, Dietrich took part in an expedition to the ruins of an ancient empire, during which he stumbled upon this magical tool that could be fastened to his forearm, and the lost skill was revived by Dietrich's skillful hands, which allowed him to fully exert his throwing power, and the folding tail was designed for the structure of the spear thrower.

Taking advantage of the disruption of the two Knights of the Sky, Salian ordered Garonay and Aiknos to take advantage of the momentum and pounce on Baron Jan Kurzezinski, the feeling of aggrieved just now filled Miss Garonay's heart with anger, she gathered a flame spear with powerful magic power to shoot at the baron first, and Ayknos also launched a frost spear from his mouth to attack, and they cooperated tacitly to press forward and force the baron to engage in a buried battle with them.

Baron Jan Kuryzinski was not only as handsome as he had been rumored, but after the engagement, Garonay discovered that he was indeed outstanding. Although the baron did not expect that there were also characters in the Salian Formation who used flying mounts, after being slightly stunned, he used an enchanted double-edged spear made of steel to fight a pair of fiery twin swords conjured by Garona. At this time, the prettiest Pegasus knight came to the Baron's aid and unleashed an arrow of light on Garona, forcing Garona to evade and distance himself from them. In this way, the two sides formed a situation of magic shooting, with the Baron covering the beauty with his heavy anti-demon armor, so that she could manipulate Mana's energy to attack without any scruples, and Garona's side also used the magic of fire and ice to launch a fierce counterattack.

But the bravery of one or two is meaningless in the face of overwhelming superior weapons. Soon, after losing a few more falcons and the knights who wielded them, the Baron and the beautiful woman ignored the Duke of Kerzen's repeated attempts to retreat with the members of the two remaining Sky Knights, and the many magic of the Pegasus knights made it impossible for Miss Garonay to pursue, and in this way, Gniezno's amazing air power disappeared from the horizon like a summer storm, after a violent passion.

At the same time, after a hard battle, the Thalians' hoplites and the three platoons of spearmen behind them finally repelled the attack of the Duke of Kirzen, and without the support of aerial fire, any attack was pointless in the face of a well-established pig's mouth formation. Led by Count Jeska, the Vanoria Chiefs, who can safely wield magic guns, harvest large numbers of unarmored light infantry with each salvo.

Too late to hug Lorana Ise, Salian immediately ordered the army to switch to a counteroffensive.

The two rows of hoplites on the Salian side, which had been spaced apart, now coincided with each other, leaving a gap in between, and the three rows of spearmen in the rear raised their spears so as not to hurt their companions. Immediately afterwards, the first group of heavy cavalry, led by Aicherin and Garonay, who had returned to the ground, rushed out of the line through the gap with a neat pace. It is now extremely unwise to fly alone in the skies and face a huge number of long-range weapons and magic.

Due to the sufficient distance between the two camps, this team, which was composed entirely of the elite of the Tutonian nobility, was able to gradually increase its speed according to the standard tactics, and attack the Duke of Kirzen's formation with the strongest impact at the end of the acceleration. The heavy cavalry were all iron cans equipped with human and horse equipment, and the plate armor they wore was enough to withstand the attacks of ordinary arrows and magic, and the magic guns under the Duke of Kerzen were still the most old-fashioned, with extremely poor accuracy, and it was lucky to be able to shoot, and the kinetic energy of this lead shot was not enough to penetrate the thick helmet and cuirass, and only the weakest part of the knight and horse could cause damage.

In an instant, the knights' spears slammed into the lower end of the tower shield, which was completely inserted into the earth, and the shafts of the brittle material immediately shattered and broke (which would reduce the reaction force on the knights), and they moved in an arc to the left and right, leaving room for the second group of heavy cavalry led by Anna and Ridlingen behind them. The first group of knights came to the end of their ranks, where the prepared logisticians handed them new spears, so that they could quickly launch another non-stop attack.

But it's fair to say that the armor that the Duke of Kerzen made specifically to restrain the Imperial heavy cavalry was effective. The tower shield was sufficient to defend against four waves of heavy cavalry charges before a gap appeared, but unfortunately the duke's lack of disciplined spearmen could not inflict enough damage on the cavalry, so that the heavy cavalry, who had exhausted their physical strength, almost retreated and came to the rear of their camp to rest. Then Salion's spearmen, two-handed swordsmen, and magical fighters quickly followed, tearing at the open breach, and the real bloody battle finally began.

Salian personally led a commando team of double-paid mercenaries to rush into the line of Duke Kerzen, he was wearing a double layer of plate armor, holding a round shield in one hand and a chain hammer in the other, jumped high on top of a tower shield, and swung the chain hammer to smash the head of the hoplite, this weapon was indeed suitable for dealing with the tower shield soldiers, and the mercenaries behind him also followed, and the light infantry of the Duke of Kerzen and the hoplites who abandoned the tower shield were engaged in a fight. The strength of the soldiers on both sides is about the same, and there are many strong martial arts figures, and Salian took the initiative to seek out those strong opponents to fight after the melee began, believing that destroying them would greatly damage the morale of his opponents and improve his reputation. Hey, the knights of this era still retain the ancient custom of focusing on honor and martial arts, but not cherishing life.

He also brandished his hammer and shouted: "I am Count Salian von Hohenstelingen, who will fight me!"

Of course, there is no shortage of bloody Tutonian warriors in the opposing formation, let alone defeating a prince is a supreme honor. Immediately, a duke's army, with a strong body and only a significant part of his armor, jumped out and came to Salion, and he also took his own call.

"Your Excellency the Earl of the Frontier, the villain is Baron Wiegs von Durholtz, a vassal of the Duke of Kirzen, and allow me to be your opponent. ”

"Of course, I can see that you are a true warrior!"

After qualifying for the challenge, he placed the sword above his head in the "Lady Pose" with his right hand, and placed the sword diagonally between his legs with his left hand in the "True Iron Gate Pose". Salian also used the "True Guardian Style" to deal with the battle seriously, and asked Teresa to sweep the battle for him so as not to be disturbed.

As soon as Pu fought, Salian discovered that Baron Durholtz was also a dexterous and versatile control-type horror knight, who could use soul attacks as support while strengthening his sword moves with occult powers. This style of combat really only appeared in the civil war in Tutonia.

While the two were fighting fiercely, the entire battlefield was also in a stalemate, and the long-range weapons were useless because of the melee. Because of this, the Magic Combatants were born, not only cultivating a variety of long-range or wide-area attack magic, but also strengthening themselves and practicing martial arts to participate in hand-to-hand combat. In the Empire, this class is already very mature. In addition to the reserves, everyone's main force was all thrown into battle, and the first two teams of heavy knights of Salian also dismounted to participate in the battle. Anna, Acherin, Sebastian and others also met their opponents. Yulia and her sister Rihir are competing with rival mages for the truth of the world.

As the sun went on, the battle had been going on for three hours, and the ground was littered with mutilated corpses and the wounded struggling in pain. Salian's fierce fight with Baron Durholtz also entered the white heat, exactly as expected at the beginning, this man was full of skills and strength, Salian was desperate to win, and finally smashed one of the Baron's arms with a chain hammer to end the battle, but Salian almost ran out of strength.

He forced himself to observe the battle situation, and felt that the time was almost ripe, so he sent a signal. Ordered his reserves, the third group of hoplites led by Aphroa, to go into battle.

The final climax of the battle came when this new force, which had not fought since the beginning of the battle, launched a fierce charge on the flank of the Duke of Kirzen's formation with a thunderous force, and finally the Duke's line collapsed, and the soldiers scattered in all directions. The decisive blow of the third cavalry changed the tide of the battle, and it strengthened Salian's determination to retain the reserve tactics in the future.

Looking at the Duke of Kirzen, who was being protected by his own soldiers, Salian ordered the pursuit to be halted, because the civil war of the empire was customary not to be wiped out. Baron Durholtz was such a tough guy that he himself cut off his arm and retreated with the ranks. Before leaving, he said to Salian in a strong voice.

"Your Excellency the Earl of the Border District, we will fight again in the next encounter, hahahaha!"

"Yes, I'll be waiting for you! ”

Eventually, the followers of Archduke Joseph raised their weapons and let out a roar representing the victors.
