Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Battle of Valor (3)

Ryan quietly listened to Senate's words, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl slightly, for ordinary people, maybe power, Wealth and beauty of women are all the pursuit of life, but these in the eyes of the legendary strong, but there are always some self-righteous guys, using a lot of self-righteous means, thinking that they can control something, but I don't know that when he is triumphant, others are looking at him with pity, what a long history, what noble blood, the legendary strong man can also turn them into the dust of the long river of history.

"Boring!" Ryan waved his hand casually and gave the order to Adra, "Attack, we've spent too much time here. ”

Adela nodded, and then gave the order to attack, and the heralds beside her galloped to the flanks of the position, conveying the order. In a short time, the Guards Legion at the front of the main formation had raised their shields and began to slowly advance in the direction of the enemy, followed closely by Barbara's Magic Legion.

After the battle of Mochizuki City, Barbara and her magic army learned a lesson, they had a smooth ride before, but this does not mean that these little ones who have only been in contact with magic for 1 or 2 years can be compared with those high-level mages, they only rely on the secret methods taught by Ryan to give full play to their advantages, maybe they can not be afraid of the indiscriminate bombardment of a large number of mages in ten years, but not yet.

Recognizing their gap, Barbara's magic legion practiced the secret methods taught to them by Ryan even harder, so that the strength of the entire magic legion has improved greatly in a short period of time, and they can now throw fireballs up to 300 meters away, which is beyond the limit that most high-level magicians can reach. Of course, if a high-level mage wants to attack an enemy from 300 meters away, then they will definitely choose a more advanced magic instead of a mere level 3 fireball technique.

Since there were not enough high-level mages and no large number of archers on the Senate side, the advance of the Cassano Guards was very smooth, and they soon came to an area less than 500 meters away from Sennat's main formation, and it only took a short time for the deadly magic attack to turn the entire Senate position into a sea of fire. And just as the Guards Legion was advancing, Cassano's popular shooters were also constantly suppressing the opposite side with bows and arrows, which was a lesson learned in the Battle of Mochizuki City, not to mention that there were no magicians on the Senate side now, and even if there were, they would be embarrassed in this dense rain of arrows, and they couldn't care about attacking the Guards Legion at all.

Seeing that the main formation was about to confront the enemy on the opposite side, on the left flank of the Cassano coalition army, those mercenaries from the Free Heaven suddenly couldn't help it, they were all hired by the Free Heaven Merchant Alliance, and they could only get a small commission every day, and if they wanted to make a fortune, they could only rely on their military exploits on the battlefield, and these guys also knew very well how powerful the magic legion under Ryan was, plus with Ryan, a legendary powerhouse, these mercenaries were very worried that they had no chance to make a fortune, so they clamored one after another, hoping that the leader of the team would give an attack order。

In charge of these 2,000 mercenaries is the head of the mercenary group directly under the Dolok Chamber of Commerce, this guy is definitely a close confidant of Chilaviv, so he was appointed here to serve as this commander. Under normal circumstances, the head of the mercenary group directly under the Dorok Chamber of Commerce can also use his identity to suppress the mercenaries of his subordinates, but now that everyone has joined the Cassano coalition, and if he strictly restricts his subordinates, it will be equivalent to letting his subordinates give up the opportunity to make a fortune, which is absolutely unbearable for mercenary mercenaries.

The head of the mercenary group directly under the Dorok Chamber of Commerce, who broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, sent his cronies to find Adela in the main formation three times in a row, hoping that she could let her side attack, but now the two warring parties have not officially contacted, and the front of the Free Heaven mercenary force is a tight phalanx composed of 10,000 people under Senat, and there is no difference between giving the order to charge and letting them go to death, once the battle is unfavorable, it will affect the morale of the entire Cassano coalition army, how could Adela agree to such a completely undisciplined request, if it is not for the people who come and do not belong to Cassano's army sequence, I am afraid that Adela will directly order to cut people。

Several invitations to fight were refused, and the last time Adela sent his guards over to give the head of the mercenary group directly under the Dorok Chamber of Commerce the most severe reprimand, which made the mercenary leader in his 40s smile bitterly, and it was during this time that Cassano's Guards finally entered less than 300 meters away from Senate's position, although they suffered more intensive arrow attacks, but Barbara's magic legion could play its role.

When Barbara's magic legion threw more than 200 fireballs into Senat's position at one time, the violent explosion, the sky-high black smoke and the billowing flames completely attracted everyone's attention, and when the smoke and flames dissipated, the originally dense phalanx of Sennat's army appeared in large vacancies, this is such an attack, the entire 10,000-person phalanx was reduced by more than 30%.

This is another disadvantage of the phalanx, a large number of warriors are densely arranged together, using shields and spears in their hands can certainly resist the invasion of arrows and the rolling of war horses, but when encountering a formed stone throwing car, ballista or magic attack, its casualties will also increase exponentially, after all, everything is not perfect, if a class of troops or a tactic can be invincible in the world, then other arms and tactics have long been eliminated, and how can it have been passed down to this day?

Seeing the strength of the friendly army, the mercenaries from the free heaven were all unable to stand, since these mercenaries dared to be hired to fight on the battlefield, naturally there were no timid guys, in their opinion, as long as they could win and kill more enemies, it didn't matter if they acted without permission, after all, from ancient times to the present, among the heroes who people have always talked about, I am afraid that nine out of ten are "acting without permission" because of disobedience to the commander When the triumphant acceptance of the cheers of the people, who cares about the little "problem" before?

Thinking of this, a few particularly bold guys couldn't hold back any longer, these mercenaries didn't take Adela's military orders to heart at all, they didn't even look at the face of the commander of their own troops, they just discussed a few words in private, and then they didn't hesitate to pull out their weapons and rush out, in their opinion, anyway, this is a one-sided battle, the sooner they shoot, the more military merit they have, and the more gold coins, if they wait until Cassano's army defeats all the enemies, then what benefits can they get?

Originally, the discipline of the mercenary force in the Free Paradise was poor, but now that someone took the lead in the charge, more mercenaries couldn't help but join it, although the commander in charge of this mercenary force tried his best to maintain discipline, but unfortunately even the personal soldiers around him couldn't resist the desire to get rich, and pulled out their weapons to join the charging team. By the time Adra, who was in the main front, found himself in a riot on his left flank, less than 100 of the 2,000 mercenaries remained in place, and the rest had already rushed forward in disarray.

The distance of nearly a thousand meters is not very far, and the morale of these mercenaries is high, and it only took 3 or 4 minutes for the leading mercenaries to crash headlong into the phalanx of the Senate army, and the hand-to-hand combat also started at the same time. If these mercenaries are allowed to fight one-on-one with Senate's warriors, then Sennat's side may have very little chance of winning, even if it is a small-scale battle of three or five people, or a dozen people, these mercenaries will definitely have the upper hand, but when these nearly 2,000 people crash headlong into the 10,000-strong phalanx waiting on the opposite side, the gap in discipline and weapons is reflected.

Senate's phalanx of 10,000 people laid down the spears in their hands after the officer's order, this kind of spear more than 3 meters long is also called the horse rejection gun, several rows are lined up, even the horses that are rushing forward can be blocked, not to mention that they have to face only some loose mercenaries.

Of course, if these 2,000 mercenaries are as elite as the Cassano Guards Legion, then they can also use the outlaw charge of successive servants to forcibly tear a hole in this kind of phalanx, but it is a pity that these mercenaries are used to an adventurous life of cherishing their lives, how can they risk their lives to create a chance of victory for their companions behind them? When the hundreds of mercenaries who rushed to the front died in the sharp gun array, the follow-up mercenaries retreated, and the magic support they expected did not appear, and the opponent's phalanx remained immovable.

"I'm going to hang them all!" Adela scolded viciously, she had already seen the scene that happened on her left flank, these mercenaries who did not listen to orders thought they could make a contribution, but the path to heroism turned into a suicidal journey, and because the Cassano coalition was far inferior in numbers, the left flank of her position was now in disarray, and Adela had no reserve troops to go up to support, how could this not make her extremely angry?

"What should I do? Is it to stabilize the position or to assault the whole army?" two different thoughts appeared in Adela's mind, these two extreme ideas made it very difficult for Adela to choose, after all, stabilizing the position means passivity, and when the time comes, the stalemate and the loss will only be greater, but then desperate to carry out the whole army assault, if the war is unfavorable, I am afraid that there is no chance to retreat with all his body.

The fierce battle in Adra's mind lasted for just a few seconds before it came to an end, because Adela saw the indifferent smile on Ryan's face, since he had the two legendary powerhouses of Ryan and Elendor, why did he still think about the problem in the way of conventional combat? Thinking of this, Adela did not hesitate to open his mouth and give the order for the whole army to assault.
