The soldiers of the Legion had lost their minds at the lure of a huge bounty, and the madness they had been suppressed by the war for months was completely unleashed.

The soldiers of the Legion successfully suppressed the counterattack of the Snow Tribe with their excellent equipment and large numbers, and the gnolls and goblins, who had not much fighting spirit, saw that their allies were about to be unable to withstand the enemy's attack, so they decisively dropped their weapons and slipped away.

Poppy, who was standing halfway up the mountain, saw this situation with a gloomy and terrible face, and his subordinates left their allies and fled, losing the face of his commander!

Seeing that the formation of the legion was getting closer and closer to Gale and Nikolai, Poppy hurriedly asked Toruń, "Big man, the humans of the empire are about to break through the defense line of the tribal warriors, and now you can order the priests to cast magic, right?"

Torun quietly watched the battle situation below, and said unhurriedly: "Don't be in a hurry, the legion has not yet fully entered the coverage of magic, let's wait for a while, and we can complete the task given to us by the adults in advance!"

Poppy heard Toruń mention his mission, so he had to keep his mouth shut and look at the battlefield at his feet with some concern.

Suddenly, the Legion's advance was stopped not far from the enemy's leader, and it was Prince Gael's Guards who stopped the Legion's attack, which consisted of only a thousand men, but they were all warriors chosen by Gale from the tribe.

These warriors were often more than two meters tall, and their equipment was different from that of ordinary warriors, with the armor they wore and the weapons they held were all elite equipment smuggled by merchants from the Empire, which Gael had purchased from merchants at great expense.

These warriors have also undergone years of training after becoming an army, and neither their combat strength nor discipline can match the existence of ordinary tribal warriors.

These thousand guards are comparable to the elite army in the Imperial Legion, and now Gale has sent the most powerful army of the tribe, his purpose is to be able to delay the Empire's attack a little, so as to create more suitable opportunities for the priests of the Abyss.

Even if these guards were able to outnumber ten, they would still have to face the onslaught of tens of thousands of Imperial soldiers, as well as the fire of Imperial archers, so their defenses were constantly retreating.

Gladys saw that the legionnaires had encountered the elite enemy troops, and now they couldn't move an inch, and her heart suddenly became angry, and now that she couldn't attack it, then she had another way!

Gladys shouted to the heralds, "Let the prepared Night Sword come up and let them visit their old chief!"

"Yes!" the herald took the empress's order and ran a short distance to the rear.

After a while, a group of light cavalry on horses, cloaked in red cloaks and half-covered armor on their faces, arrived from the rear, the remnants of the Sword of the Night after the last St. Caron Rebellion. Originally, they would have been executed as accomplices, but the Empress gave them a chance to make meritorious deeds, that is, as the hidden power of the legion, lurking in the rear, and when the Empress needed them, it was time for them to atone for their sins!

At the head was a tall, young-looking young general who rode to the empress's side and bowed his head in submission.

Russell, who was guarding the security beside the empress, also noticed the young general, he observed the young man with a full-coverage mask on his face, and felt a little familiar, the young man also noticed Russell, and was slightly stunned but moved his gaze back to the empress.

Gladyse pointed to Nikolai, who was also wearing a red cloak in the distance, and said: "Your target is ahead, whether you kill him or capture him alive, all the wrongs suffered by your family can be relieved, now is the time to regain the glory of your family, maybe you will have the opportunity to ask him about the confusion in your heart!"

The young man didn't say a word, but nodded slightly to show that he knew the empress's request, he turned to look ahead, and without any extra movements, he took the lead towards Nikolai's chariot, and the Night Sword behind also followed their generals and rushed towards the enemy.

Now the infantry on both sides are mixed together, which is the ideal fighting environment for the cavalry, and although the Night Sword is light cavalry, it is easy to deal with the enemy infantry without mobility.

The tribal guards who stood in a line to block the advance of the Imperial soldiers also saw the cavalry galloping towards them, and even though the tribal commander who was directing the defense was surprised by where the cavalry came from, he still ordered his soldiers to raise their huge round shields in front of them, hoping to resist the cavalry charge.

It's just that the tribal commander didn't expect that the mobility of the light cavalry was far superior to that of the main heavy cavalry of the empire, and the light cavalry sacrificed the complete defense in exchange for flexible reflexes.

The youth at the front of the procession saw that the enemy had raised his shield and immediately whistled with a peculiar sound, which symbolized the attack of the whole army from the circle to the flank.

Hearing the peculiar whistle, the men hurriedly turned their horses' heads around from the front to the flank, and continued to attack the enemy's flank.

The defending guards had never seen such nimble cavalry, and they couldn't react for a moment, and they hurriedly tried to turn the direction of their shields, but the people in the team were crowded together, which led to more confusion in the formation.
