The first troops to raise the alarm were two cavalry squads on the outermost left flank of the marching column, about half a mile from the marching column of the large army, and were arranged in loose columns to guard the perimeter. Most of these riders were battle-hardened Ugol warriors, and soon noticed the unusual shaking of the ground, saw the snow and dust rising from the distant horizon, and understood that this was no longer a harassment from the enemy squad, so they immediately sent out their rangers to reconnoiter in the distance, and at the same time opened fire, signaling to the entire army that a major battle was coming.

But the vigilant soldiers paid the price immediately, and within minutes, a select group of Chaos Kugan vanguard marksmen engaged the scout cavalry. The wind-like arrows shot back and forth, making a sharp chirp that pierced the air, and the sound of screams and falling horses came and went. Within two turns, the dozen or so Scout Rangers who had charged towards the Chaos army were almost completely wiped out, leaving only two of the best cavalrymen to flee back on their horses covered in arrow wounds and blood, reporting to the troops the general information of the enemy.

The remaining squad of the Semi-Cavalry quickly retreated to the left flank array, joining up with the main cavalry that had already been laid out in battle formation. The vanguard and rearguard of the army also quickly sent cavalry reinforcements, and in a few moments, an evacuation column of about six hundred cavalry had been launched on the left flank of this long line, and without hesitation, they counterattacked Kugan's vanguard cavalry. Banners and spears fluttered above the riders' heads, and the hooves of the horses tread a chaotic trail and a cloud of snow dust on the snowfield, which was still loose after the first snowfall.

"The real battle is finally coming, and I can't wait to rush with them right away. ”

Hyde sighed in a voice of excitement and a little dissatisfaction, and the young god and the old Loren, Marshall, and Tenan more than 200 cavalrymen rode up and formed a battle formation on the small dirt slope slightly higher on the right flank of the army. The infantry and artillerymen, under the command of Cicero and others, quickly formed a phalanx and formed positions, whispering orders and trumpets one after another, and the flash of spears and the neighing of the guns and horses mingled nervously and orderly.

"The opponent is the Chaos Kugan army rampant on the grassland, it is a difficult enemy to deal with, and there is no comparison with the Chaos beasts we encountered at the beginning, so we must obey the arrangement of His Excellency the Imperial General. Being a reserve is an even greater honor for the Warriors, because the outcome of many battles is decided by our reserves. ”

Old Loren reminded Hyde in a serious voice, his blood-colored armor glistening in the sunlight, and his face full of solemnity.

According to the order of the banner of the wing headquarters, the army spread out to the left flank, and the infantry formed three complete phalanxes around the baggage wagons to meet the enemy, and the forward, half of the cavalry of the rear guard plus all the cavalry on the left flank immediately launched a tentative counterattack on the front of the Kugan army, buying time for the infantry formation, and at the same time roughly testing the situation of the enemy. As for the remaining cavalry---- of course, including the cavalry on the right flank led by Hyde, naturally stayed as a reserve, which made Hyde a little unhappy.

"All right, Lord Loren, then let us deliver the final decisive blow, I understand the meaning of the military order. ”

Hyde raised his spear and answered Loren Sr.'s explanation in a calm voice, and although Hyde was an impulsive man by nature, the vicious battles of the past month had made him mature a lot.

"By the way, where did Catherine go, before the big war, she should have added magical defense to her comrades!"

Suddenly, Hyde felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't see Catherine. Wouldn't this delicate cousin be foolish enough to make her own rush to the front of the line?

"Your Highness Hyde, Her Highness Catherine went to the artillery unit directly under the wing to enchant the artillery at the order of the Wing Captain, which is one of the best jobs for metal mages. Now that the main artillery force of Tubaro is under the direct command of the wing headquarters, Her Royal Highness Catherine should be at home there. As for enchanting the knights, it is a time-sensitive job, and it is useless to be early. ”

A gentle voice answered Hyde's question, and it was none other than Frey. She rode her armored horse as fast as she rode close to Hyde, her black hair and fiery red ribbon fluttering in the wind. Just now the co-captain's herald delivered the order and took Catherine away. That's where Frey came to inform the news.

"Okay, I see. Come here, Frey, and now your mission is to stay with us. ”

Hyde's heart relaxed, and he was really worried that Catherine, who was so delicate and troublesome, would do something stupid. A bloody battle is about to begin, and the enemy is the fierce Chaos Legion, which will not show mercy to anyone's willfulness. Catherine is his own cousin and his mother's niece, and he doesn't want anything to happen to this feisty red-haired girl!

About five or six minutes later, the hundreds of coalition cavalry who had launched a counterattack met the Chaos Kugans who had swarmed up from the distant woods and the horizon like a swarm of bees, and the earth-shattering shouts and rain of arrows swept wildly across the sky, men and horses neighed and fell to the ground, and the mist of snow rose under the horses' hooves. The sword was swirled, blood splashed, and the first fierce fight began.

Hyde watched the battle from a distance of a thousand meters with his binoculars, his breathing tightening a little. In a sense, this was the first time that the young god had seen a real army in the field, so he also paid special attention to it, hoping to learn something valuable from it. In any case, his essence is nothing more than a young man who has just woken up for more than a month, and he is still a schoolboy on the vast battlefield of the great army.

"This is how the Chaos Kugans fight. Your Highness Hyde, pay attention to how they differ from us, although I have mentioned their strategies and tactics to you, nothing compares to my own experience on the actual battlefield!"

It was the voice of old Loren, who slung the six-foot bloody sword across his shoulders and squinted his brownish-gray eyes to remind Hyde. At the same time, the old man's black-armored war horse excitedly scraped the snow with its hooves and snorted, as if waiting for the moment of bloody battle. The horse was very old, it had been through too many wars, and it had been idle for a long time, and now it was back in this real battlefield, and the smoke and shouts made it so excited that it was eager to rush into the distant enemy line at once.
