Russell received the badge of the commander of the Dragoon Knights, which meant that he became the new commander of the Knights.

"Your Majesty, the enemy is on the march, and it is expected that they will approach the range of our trebuchets in three minutes!" Shani hurried over and told Gladys the battle report from the scouts.

Gladys quickly turned her attention to the enemy and gave the order: "In order to gain an advantage, as soon as the enemy comes within range of our trebuchet, let the soldiers aim at the enemy line and shoot boulders at them." Don't skimp on the stones, I'm afraid this time the enemy will send their main army!"

The coalition of the Snow Tribes and the Abyss in the distance still advanced with the gnolls as the vanguard, gradually pressing towards the Imperial Legion, and soon the Gnoll army gradually entered the plain not far in front of the legion.

Before the chaotic gnolls could form up on the plain, dozens of trebuchets fired a large number of boulders at the enemy under the control of the Imperial soldiers.

The Imperial Legion's special oil has long since been depleted, so the soldiers can only place the crude boulder on the launch mount, relying on the size and weight of the boulder itself to kill and injure the enemy.

However, due to the dense formation of the gnolls and the confusion of command, even though the power of the trebuchet was far less than before, it still eliminated many gnolls and achieved very good results.

Unable to restrain their men who had fled due to demoralization, the gnoll chieftains sent heralds back to Toruń to ask for reinforcements from the army.

Looking at the gnolls soldiers who had been devastated by the boulder, Toren sat on the dragon beast with a calm expression.

Poppy, who was standing on the sidelines, asked, "You're going to let these gnolls be attacked by humans like this, even if they are troops that can be consumed, but they can't just ignore them like you?"

Toren looked at Poppy and explained, "We have victory in sight, and we don't care about these losses of the gnolls, just enough to consume some of the enemy's stone reserves." Compared with these insignificant sacrifices, I care more about the main infantry of the Imperial Legion, they are still superior in numbers, and these 100,000 infantry are also a force to be reckoned with. ”

Relying on the gnolls to attract the Legion's firepower, most of the coalition forces gradually approached the Great Plains not far away.

While most of the Legion's attention was focused on the Gnoll Army, the Coalition Army also set up their own trebuchets and began to bombard the Legion's array.

In this way, the two sides began to fire trebuchets across a plain, and the continuous bombardment brought some losses to both sides, but the Imperial Legion still had the upper hand in the exchange of fires by relying on the advantage of the number of trebuchets.

After half an hour, the stone reserves of the two armies were finally completely depleted. The temptation to test each other is over, and now the real battle is about to begin.

The Imperial Legion took the lead, and the Empress sent all 10,000 swordsmen and 10,000 sword and shield men to form a formation to attack the coalition forces.

In order to cover the attack of the infantry, there were nearly 10,000 imperial archers who constantly threw arrows at the enemy's position. For some reason, the mysterious shield that had previously hidden the Abyssal Army disappeared at this time, and the arrows fell into the ranks of the coalition forces unhindered.

Relying on the suppression of these 10,000 archers, the Imperial infantry quickly advanced towards the enemy formation without being too strongly blocked.

The appearance of the human infantry coming forward in front of them is already clearly visible, and it seems that if there is a tough battle!

Gale spat out the weeds in his mouth and shouted to the tens of thousands of tribal warriors led behind him: "Now in front of you are the ferocious Imperial Legion infantry, they are the loyal hounds of the imperial nobles, it is these hounds for the luxury of the imperial nobles, driven by the nobles to slaughter our people, plundering the wealth of the tribe, can you, as the warriors of the tribe, forget these atrocities?"

Remembering their families who had been slaughtered by the nobles of the Empire and the experience of being oppressed by the Empire for generations, the anger that rose in their hearts burned their minds, and they raised their weapons and roared, "Can't, can't!"

Gail stretched out the sword in his hand and pointed it in the direction of the Imperial infantry and shouted, "Now that your enemy is in front of you, this is your chance for revenge! Let them know how powerful the Snow Tribe is!"

"Revenge, revenge!"

Enraged, the tribal warriors let out an earth-shattering roar and charged towards the Imperial infantry.

Seeing the barbarian army shouting and rushing towards their side, the lords in the legion were calm at this time. They did not give an order for their soldiers to charge and fight with these barbarians, but according to their usual training, the sword and shield hands on both sides of the team quickly gathered in front of the formation, raising their shields and preparing to meet the onslaught of the barbarian army.

Filled with rage, the tribal warriors joined together and soon ran into the heavy shield formations of the Imperial infantry. Except for the gap that was knocked open by inertia at the beginning, the Imperial infantry did not suffer much damage.

Although these elite tribal warriors were armed with iron weapons and armor similar to those of the Imperial legionnaires, these weapons alone could not destroy the shield of the Imperial infantry.

The tribal warriors did not seem to feel tired, and they slashed at the enemy's shield with all their strength, but only left a trace on the shield.

However, the equipped swordsman hiding behind the shield can cooperate with the sword and shield hand next to him, constantly poking out half of his body through the gap in the shield, and can take the life of an enemy with a random sword.
