Chapter 233: Battle at Dawn (Part II)

"Hold your ground, the gods are with us!"

Giger, Lord of Wintercastle, shouted. An icy cannonstone exploded behind him, and the blasted flesh rained down from the sky overhead, watering the old lord and the guards around him. However, in this final battle, he must not retreat! The banner of the northern border is in the hands of the old lord, it is a symbol of glory and freedom, and if they win, they will change an era and create a new dynasty, and if they lose, they will lose everything.

"Reserves!"

"The North will never fall!"

Flesh-and-blood front, Rhodes commanded loudly.

In front of him and beside him, there was a wave of people that rose and fell like the waves of the sea, and the dead warriors piled up, and the blood turned into small rivers and flowed in small streams. The sound of killing, screaming, and moaning came into the ears from all directions. Heaven and earth were vast, except for figures swaying back and forth and swords reflecting the sunlight.

Ignited incendiary and frozen shells swept overhead and smashed into the bloody battles. The fighting lasted from early morning to late afternoon. Both armies have paid huge casualties, and Rhodes has already put all his reserves into battle, and the original third-line team has become a first-line team at this time, and there are no soldiers available in the rear rows! The cavalry on both flanks is also out of breath and has suffered heavy casualties. Even the Knights of the Black Rose, who have always been brave and good at fighting, have fought the hussars many times, and the blood has solidified on the armor, showing a solid blood scab.

Each knight had blood on his face, hands, and armor, and it was impossible to tell whether it was the enemy's or his own. They were panting and scarred, but the battle continued. On the wide plain, the infantry was huddled together, and the cavalry fought back and forth. Even the corpses of war horses were lying all over the battlefield.

The stalemate of the battle exhausted everyone, and tense nerves were on the verge of collapse. The generals on both sides knew that at this time, only one sneak attack, a perfect cavalry charge, was enough to turn the tide of the battle. It's just that since the start of the war, both sides have invested all their forces. Irene, for her part, has also put all her reserves to the front line. She no longer had any extra troops to complete the roundabout outflanking. However, Rhodes still has ...... As soon as the opening scene was there, this was a tactic formulated in advance, and in the early hours of the morning, the elite cavalry regiments of the north quietly left their positions under the leadership of the chief knight Virgil, they were full of strength and energy, just waiting for the signal to outflank.

This is also Rod's last hole card. And now, it's time to hit it out. As the sun set, a dim yellow light shrouded the land, and all the soldiers of the Southern Army stood with their backs, and behind them was the earth shrouded in strong light......

Woo~~~Woo~~~

With a deep horn sounding, the two thousand northern cavalry began their final charge. It was their only charge of the game, and it was the decisive one. It only takes one perfect charge for the Southern Army to be finished! The soldiers in the north fought bloodily on the front line all day, and it was this precious time that they earned.

"For Kislev!"

"Follow me, charge!"

Rushing to the front, Virgil, the Grand Knight of Blackhammer Castle, drew his sword and pointed it forward. The fiery sunset illuminates their path forward, and it also illuminates the hope in everyone's hearts.

The ground began to tremble, and the soldiers of Kislev's Southern Army turned back in a hurry, but they could not see where the sound of the cavalry charge was coming from. I just felt the trembling of the ground under my feet getting more and more intense, and the sound of the approaching horses galloping in my ears.

"Hope!"

"Brothers, today, we will forge history! Today, we will ......"

Virgil rode his horse to charge, but just before he was about to burst into the crowd, he could no longer scream. Because, he saw that a wall of ice was condensing in the air in front of him at an alarming speed! Countless pieces of broken ice gathered from all directions, and in an instant, before the northern cavalry arrived, a great wall of ice stood in front of all the northern knights!

Archmage Erin stood behind the ice wall, cold sweat dripping, but a smug smile rose into the corners of her mouth. Yes, it was she, single-handedly, who protected the back of the Southern Legion. The Wall of Ice didn't last long, but it was enough for the legionnaires to retreat and form a strong anti-cavalry phalanx.

Within minutes of the formation of the Wall of Ice, hundreds of officers and men of the Southern Army turned around and put their long contradictory cards behind the ice wall, ready to go.

"Damn it!"

Virgil yelled, the horse neighed, and had to turn around a moment before crashing into the ice wall......

In this way, two thousand elite northern cavalry stopped at a place that was only one step away from victory. They waited seven years, but when they were only one step away from victory, they stopped. The pride turned into a monstrous rage, which was difficult to contain. Through the ice wall, look at the triumphant archmage.

A knight from Heidelberg could not resist dismounting, drew the dagger he was carrying, and plunged into the ice wall, which he was going to climb with his bare hands, climb over it, and support his compatriots.

"Are you crazy?"

Virgil hurriedly hugged him and reprimanded him loudly.

"We've waited so long, we've been preparing for so long, and we've just retreated?" cried the knight with emotion, "My brother is still behind this wall, waiting for me to save him!"

He struggled, anger in his eyes.

"This is a trap! This is an unnaturally formed ice wall! Can't you see? Once we all climb up the ice wall, the Frost Witch only needs to cast another spell, and the wall will collapse in an instant, and at that time, we will all be buried here! Not to mention, are the knights who dismount still knights? Without the sprint of the war horses, we are just heavy infantry in excellent armor!"

Despite his reluctance, Virgil remained calm and restrained. He had to lead this force well, and if he didn't achieve the expected goal, he couldn't let them die in vain. Two thousand heavy cavalry, running and rushing is a sharp sword that can tear through the enemy's defenses. However, dismounted and trapped, at best, a group of armored hoplites. As long as the enemy three times their size surrounds them, no matter how elite the troops are, they will not be able to carry it.

"Retreat!"

Virgil reluctantly ordered.

There was darkness in the heavens and the earth......

Behind the battlefield position, Rhodes only felt that something was wrong, he heard the horn of the charge, but he could not see the sign of the charge of the northern knights. What's worse is that the sun is gradually setting in the west, and the golden light continues to dim, replaced by a stronger and stronger north wind, like a cold **, painful and chilling.

"Sisters, it's time for the decisive victory, attack!

On the battle front, Archmage Irene personally went into battle, and the cold howl of the high-ranking witch echoed like a storm, echoing over the battlefield and echoing in the hearts of every battle wizard.
