Tallinnam had seen the Bretonnian Knights assemble and now saw the legion march.

Under the eager gaze of countless people, the mighty Bretonnian regiment walked out of the capital Cologne in a neat military column. The white stone walls and towers, the tall royal palaces and temples, symbolize civilization and order.

On the King's Avenue, thousands of knights of the kingdom wore heavy armor and spears in hand, walking slowly, the iron armor reflected the golden light of the sun, and the iron pieces trembled and made a sonorous sound. Behind the knights were tens of thousands of peasant soldiers, who had been drafted from all over the country, dressed in improvised protective gear and armed with swords, shields, or bows and spears, to join the war as conscripts.

In the early spring sun, the legion passed through the forests, through the steppes, through large rivers and streams, and finally arrived at the decisive battle site - the Heishui River a week ahead of schedule.

"Spectacular, isn't it?"

Berto said with a smile as he stood beside Tallinnam.

"Indeed, it was the most spectacular scene I have ever seen in my life. ”

Tallinnham sighed. He looked up and saw thousands of white tents densely packed on the banks of the Heishui River that meandered by, with no end in sight. Colorful flags filled the flat land from the river beach to the forest. Some of the flags have the emblem of the fire dragon, some of the emblems of the lion, some of the emblems of the white deer, and some of them are battle axes and long swords. Each different flag emblem represents each different family, and the coalition of the Fourteen Duchies came together at this moment to form the most powerful legion of the Kingdom of Bretonnia.

It's just that Tallinnam still can't imagine what kind of enemy that Mogul is, so that the vast kingdom of Bretonnia can meet the enemy with the strength of the whole country?

At this moment, there are at least seventy or eighty thousand people in the Bretonnian Legion gathered in the riverbend, and the war is not the end of the legion outside the war, and there are at least five or six hundred thousand people responsible for ensuring the transportation of supplies and food for this legion. With such a large formation, Tallinnham felt so small for the first time. He was almost overwhelmed by the crowd, every day there was a flow of people coming and going, and every day he could see new faces, unfamiliar faces. Those people, like themselves, are busy running around the land every day.

The engineers set up catapults in the forest behind the riverbank, and the big ones that rose from the ground took shape day by day, and the stones could not be taken from the place, so they had to be carried from a long distance. For this battle, King Charles of Bretonnia even personally supervised the battle on the front line, eating and sleeping with the soldiers.

Three days later, Tallinnham met with an army of wood elves, at first only rangers, archers, hunters. This is followed by the War Dancers and the Eternal Guard, armed with spears or swords, which appear as the primary melee force. Then there were the woodland cavalry, most of which rode elven horses, a few rode stag mounts, and a few elves rode unicorns. Yue eBook

Their armor is basically light armor, leather armor, or no armor at all, in pursuit of absolute agility and flexibility.

All of the Wood Elves' troops are mostly female, with fair skin, handsome or beautiful faces, and a pair of long, pointed ears that stand out. Unlike human armies, the Wood Elves almost never camp with human armies, they choose to camp in the woods, their own people gather together, and the soldiers below rarely intersect with human soldiers except for high-level exchanges. As one says about them, haughty and cold-blooded hunters.

For the past few days, information about the movements of the Beastman army has been coming, and the Bretonnia and Wood Elf coalition forces have also been constantly adjusting the deployment of the army, after all, no one knows where the beastmen will land from in the winding Blackwater River, only that if they want to enter the Atholoren Forest, the Beastmen army must cross this river. And as the army of beastmen approached, the atmosphere became more and more tense, and the chatter and laughter in the barracks gradually decreased, replaced by serious and cold faces.

Finally, three days later, the first Beastmen appeared on the other side of the Blackwater River. It was a pack of badhorns, roaming the river, seemingly looking for the best place to enter the water. The Blackwater River is not a big river, on the contrary, it is very shallow, shallow enough to be crossed by wading through the river during the dry season. Ordinary humans and elves would be completely submerged, however, some tall beastmen could barely step on the bottom of the river to cross the river.

From a long distance, the bad horned beasts could be seen clumsily stepping into the river. Obviously, the Beastmen's detection ability is completely inferior to that of the Wood Elves. Their eyesight is not half as good as that of the Wood Elves, so their detection ability is almost negligible. When dozens of inferior horned beasts ventured into the water, they didn't see a pair of eyes staring at them on the other side.

Soon, the first of the horned beasts were submerged by the river, apparently not yet large enough to fully wade across the river. However, they can swim...... In the center of the river, the dormed horned beasts floated again, swimming to the other side of the river, relying on their clumsy swimming skills.

Even if the Wood Elf rangers saw an army of beastmen, they couldn't shoot. On the orders of the forest lord Alaros, let some of the beastmen come over first, confuse them, and wait until the main force of Mogul begins to cross the river before starting to shoot.

Even the catapults of Bretonnia are hidden under the tall forests.

Ambushed in the jungle, Tallinnam endured a long period of silence and cold with the large army of Bretonnia. By order of King Charles of Bretonnia, the Legion had stopped lighting fires two days earlier, in order to avoid the rising smoke from being discovered by the Beastmen. Thus it became known that there was an ambush on the other side of the river.

Tallinnham was just wondering what he would do if he were replaced by Lord Rhodes at such a moment? From the time he discovered that the Beastmen army had assembled, formulated the battle plan, and selected the location of the decisive battle, the legion had a full month, what was the Kingdom of Bretonnia doing during this month? Gather troops and mobilize the whole country. Well, they have enough soldiers, they have enough knights, however, there are no ...... in the north

Tallinnam knew that in the northern border of Kislev, the number of soldiers that could be gathered at this time was probably less than one-tenth of that of Bretonnia. In order to survive in that harsh environment, Lord Rhodes trained all his soldiers to become engineers...... Their construction capabilities are unmatched. Tallinnam guessed that if Lord Rhodes were to fight the battle, he would build a temporary dam in the upper reaches of the Blackwater River, intercept the river, store the water level, and mobilize the local people and soldiers to build a temporary dam in a month's time. Wait until the beastmen cross the river and then release water to intercept it, and the river will rush away the enemy troops who are crossing the river. Whether it's the Beastmen or the Chaos Legions, they'll all crumble in the face of nature's forces.

War needs to be interpreted from many angles, however, Tallinnham also knows that this is Bretonnia, where chivalry is deeply ingrained in the land, from kings to ordinary wandering knights, who flatter chivalry and rush at their enemies with fearlessness, and the goddess of the lake will bless them...... All the Bretonnian knights thought so......
