"General......
The sound of horses' hooves was heard in the ears, and Ebel's heart had a hint of foreboding.
Since it was night, the telescope in his hand did not do much, so he frowned, raised his head, and tried his best to look.
A familiar figure appeared in his sight, but this figure was a little unfamiliar.
Bancroft no longer had the vigor and arrogance of the past, and at this time, his face was pale and covered with soot, and he was even scorched black at the hem of his robe.
Abel's face turned pale for a moment, as white as General Bancroft's.
"Legionnaire? ...... you" Abel's voice trembled slightly, and there were less than a thousand horsemen behind Bancroft, where was the 10,000 iron horsemen that the Fourth Legion, once famous for Caesar, was most proud of?
"That's it." Bancroft's tightly closed lips struggled to spit out those three words.
Although he had a premonition, when it was really confirmed, Abel still felt a pain in his chest.
Those 10,000 iron horsemen are the backbone of the Fourth Legion......
Whether it was Bancroft or him, he had spent countless thoughts and energy on the cavalry of 10,000 people, and they were as lovely as children raised by their own hands.
After ten years of fighting, this army has never let them down, no matter how powerful the enemy is, under their surging and invincible onslaught, they will eventually become overwhelmed. They are the biggest sign of the Fourth Legion.
Today, however, this force is dead. Fewer than 10 percent of people will be able to come back. Abel was terrified, did the Black Flag Army really have such a strong strength?
He looked up, but he was stunned, Bancroft's eyes were pained and confused. There was even a hint of cowardice.
Abel's heart sank, and he called in a low voice: "General, the Fourth Legion is gone, and it can be rebuilt, but if you don't have faith, then your life path ends here." ”
Bancroft's expression moved, and he immediately understood the truth of what his adjutant had said.
Because of his violent and stern personality, his popularity in the empire is very bad, and if one day he loses the power of his hand. The ending must have been tragic.
Taking a deep breath, the ambitions of the past seemed to appear in his eyes again.
"I see, Abel...... Thank you. ”
"You're welcome." Abel said in a deep voice, "Now." What should I do? ,
Although Bancroft was newly defeated, it was precisely because he had seen the true strength of the Black Flag Army and knew his troops well that the fate of these 20,000 people was up to him.
"Go back ......" was said almost without thinking.
Abel gasped. At this moment, he had already judged that the enemy must be extremely powerful, otherwise Bancroft, who had been joined by 20,000 fresh troops, would not choose to leave.
"Yes......"
All of a sudden. Their faces changed color at the same time.
There seemed to be a roar in the distance, faintly, as if it were nothing, but it seemed to be clearly audible in just a moment.
The two pairs of eyes looked at each other with indescribable horror, and they felt a cold chill at the same time.
"A sea of red?" Abel said suddenly.
Just listening to the approaching voice, you knew that it was a troop of cavalry, and they were very fast. Fantastic.
And in the territory of the Han Dynasty, Wolong City, there happens to be a cavalry unit that is famous all over the world for its speed.
The invincible lion who once made great achievements in the Great War of Northern Xinjiang - the Red Ocean.
At this moment, they must be the ones who came.
"Lined up, hoplites hold the central ......"
At this critical juncture, Bancroft quickly regained his true character as a hero.
However, unexpectedly, Abel, who had always obeyed orders, did not carry out immediately, but showed an extremely ugly face.
Bancroft's heart tightened and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"The hoplites were in the back and did not follow." Abel replied with difficulty.
A pair of eyes suddenly opened to the maximum, and Bancroft could hardly believe his ears. He stared at the remorseful face of his most trusted subordinate, and immediately understood why.
In order to rush to the battlefield as soon as possible, Abel had to let the 10,000 hoplites advance slowly, he has always been cautious and cautious, and he does not want to make such a mistake today, which can only be said to be the will of God.
"They ......," Bancroft said, pointing to the twenty thousand warriors, "what equipment?" ”
"Light armor, spears, knives and bows."
"Array." Bancroft's face had regained his composure, and he commanded calmly.
"But ......"
"We don't have a choice." Bancroft coldly interrupted Abel.
The war-hardened Fourth Legion was worthy of Caesar's premier legion, and even in the dark moonlit night, the 20,000-strong army quickly formed a defensive phalanx.
Glancing at Abel, who was pursing his lips and saying nothing, Bancroft sighed in his heart, although he was careless for a while, but during the march, he still kept a good distance between the various teams at any time, otherwise they would not have wanted to form a queue in such a short time. know clearly
Looking at these Caesar warriors with serious expressions but fearless faces, Bancroft's heart was full of fighting spirit again, and what about the red ocean, let them fight to the death.
The sound of hooves was gradual, like the roar of drums, deafening.
Bancroft and Abel looked at each other, they were so experienced in combat that they could naturally hear the difference.
This is clearly the voice of the Heavy Knights, the proudest of the Caesars, when they are running wildly.
It's just that. To their surprise, no army could maintain such speed.
The Heavy Knights are known as the best in the world because of their terrifying defenses, and the weight of their armor is an extremely demanding requirement for both men and horses.
It is precisely because the threshold for forming a heavy knight order is too high. So even if it is the Caesar Empire, the birthplace of the Heavy Knights, there are only tens of thousands of such warriors.
"Throwing Fire ......"
Torches were tossed high into the sky and fell in front of the procession, and countless torches stacked on top of each other to form a tall fire, lighting up the dark night sky.
In the distance, as if suddenly, there was a black oppressive ground.
In the bright light of the fire, the steel on their bodies reflected a palpitating glint.
Sealed and covered with armor. It's like a giant beast draped in layers of steel, swarming towards them.
"Black Flag Army......
Almost subconsciously, Bancroft's gaze was one of desperation. His face was pale again, and he was terrified of these almost demonic soldiers.
The black ocean did not stop in the slightest, and the fire in front of them was not a reason to stop them for a moment.
The horses soared and rose higher and higher.
Immediately, the knight raised his head and roared.
A loud bang exploded in mid-air. It shook people's hearts and minds.
The flames raised high seemed to be torn by the air, and suddenly burst into an even more dazzling light. The strong wind pressure blew through, and the fire cracked into two pieces high.
The dark sky was instantly reflected with a golden-red bewitching light. Dots of sparks poured down from the sky, as if they were full of beautiful fireworks, twinkling in front of everyone's eyes.
The sparks dissipated, and a knight passed through the two vigorous, scorching rays of light. He was the only one of them who did not wear a helmet.
In everyone's eyes, time seemed to stand still at this moment. The mid-air horse seemed to fall slowly.
"Step on ......"
Suddenly, the horse fell to the ground, as if stepping directly on the human heart, and all the Caesars felt an inexplicable palpitation at the same time.
"Boom ......"
There was a loud bang. The flames were blazing, and the fire, which was made up of countless torches, finally spread out in all directions. The countless follow-up black knights didn't seem to see the obstacle in front of them at all, and just rushed straight through the firelight.
There was no voice, no shouting, no loud slogan, they remained incredibly silent from beginning to end, and in their eyes they were followed by the warrior who was in the lead, the dragon of men who was about to bring a bloody storm to the world.
There was a hint of horror in Caesar's eyes, and although the spears in their hands were still strong, their momentum had dropped to freezing point at this time.
In front of them, there was a group of heavy cavalry with the speed of light cavalry, and what this meant, all the old men who had fought on the battlefield knew very well.
"Shoot the ......"
A sharp roar was heard in the array.
Countless arrows rained down on the galloping knights.
However, with the sound of clanging bells, the advancing knights were rarely shot down, and the heavy turtle shell they wore on their bodies could not cause fatal damage with this kind of attack power.
Bancroft's heart sank little by little, like the exhausted drowning man, sinking little by little.
With such a majesty, he could already predict what the final outcome of this battle would be.
Five thousand horsemen, and only five thousand men he faced. However, it was these 5,000 people who gave him endless fear and shock.
In his decades of war, he has seen only an army that can match it. However, that force was something he could never master.
Although the maximum number of that army has been limited to three thousand for generations, this small number of men is enough to be compared to any regular army in the Empire.
The name of that unit is called the Knights Templar, and it is the most powerful and loyal army loyal to His Holiness the Pope.
Today, however, he has to deal with 5,000 people......
