"Leon, the Lion Knights of Brennus are here...... How are we going to get them to fight?"

It was Amy who asked the question, Raphael had already taken a few of his best rangers to explore the battlefield, and when he returned, he drew a map of the situation on the ground, and now several leaders are discussing countermeasures together.

"It's best to stop harassing the Cato now, I don't want to fight alone with the Cato army. Judging from the current situation, only the Lion Knights have no worries, and can only let them break the deadlock. The Lion Knights must have come to deal with the Raven army...... Anyway, Wren, aren't you with dozens of Raven riders?"

The lord looked at Sir Wren.

"Lord Leon, are you going to ......?"

Wren didn't mind making a difference, he wanted to kill the Raven Kingdom army more than Leon.

"I'm going to let your men provoke the Lion Knights to provoke Brenus...... This duke has a rather bad temper, and if you ask your riders to find a way to insult him, he will definitely attack the troops of the Raven Kingdom."

The lord took a stick, dotted the spot on the ground that marked "Brenus", and then drew a line that extended to the location marked "Raven".

"As long as they fight, the Cato will try to take advantage of it...... If you let your men run to where the Cato are now, they will probably be able to run away......

The stick in Leon's hand drew an arc, and then drew from "Crow" to "Gato".

"Understood, I'll arrange ......."

Wren went very happily, as long as he could wipe out Gregory IV's army here, Wren didn't care about losses at all.

After all, King Raven is his and Ursula's rebels' worst enemies.

……

Gregory IV was relaxed at this point, because he had a slight misunderstanding that the Cato were from the Zakar tribe with whom he had negotiated cooperation......

He had made an agreement with Zakar that he would send the grasslands east of Talon Fort to the Gatu, so that the Gatu would cooperate with him in attacking the Lion Realm, at least blocking the reinforcements in the east of the Lion Kingdom.

So he thought it was Zakar who was "very kind" and sent a large army......

He felt that the Cato would not attack him.

Of course, he also knew that the Cato would not be kind enough to help him fight, and he thought that the Cato were planning to come and see the steppe they were about to get, and to pick up some bargains by the way—the Cato would surely plunder.

He was about to attack Talon Fort, but the reason why he chose to retreat when the Cato arrived was because he thought that Talon would be called his domain at any time, and he didn't want the Cato to take advantage of it......

After all, he couldn't restrain the Catu, so what would he do if the Cato took advantage of the Talon Fort to raid and plunder?

Therefore, he collected his troops in time, intending to wait for Forcset in Eagle Claw Fort to surrender voluntarily - after all, Forsette certainly didn't want to fall into the hands of the Catu, right?

So Gregory IV sent messengers to Talon to surrender and set up camp north of Talon.

But who knows, before the envoys have time to enter the city, the Duke of Brenus has arrived here with the Lion Knights.

Moreover, not long after he arrived, Brenus broke the situation on the battlefield.

In fact, Brennus's forces are the best of all the forces here.

Lionlake City is under his control, and he has access to a steady stream of military supplies. Moreover, the team he led was the Lion Knights and the Royal City Guards, all of which were directly subordinate to King Ulrique.

Brennus's own private army had already made its way to Crag Bay loaded with a large amount of possessions......

That said, now Brennus won't care too much about losses – at least not for himself.

It's just that there are a large number of Cato people here now, so Brenus didn't plan to act rashly, he just asked the troops to keep an eye on the Raven army and see what happened.

But what he didn't expect was that a team of dozens of Raven cavalry actually appeared in front of him in a grand manner, and they also took off their Raven Short in unison

skirt, showing her ass to the duke!

He even kept shaking his lower body and making all kinds of disgusting and obscene gestures......

As the Duke of the Kingdom, he was politely held everywhere, when did Brenus receive such an insult!

So he immediately ordered an attack on the troops of the Raven Kingdom.

Of course, Brenus wasn't completely carried away by the rage, and he let Kedren attack as the vanguard - Kedren had to die anyway, and preferably at the hands of the Raven Kingdom's forces.

Kedren himself knew this, so he didn't hesitate and charged directly.

But the small army mounted their horses and turned and ran, and Kedren's men could not catch up.

However, Kedren didn't care about the deliberately disgusting team, and he led the team directly to the large army of the Raven Kingdom.

It looked like a tragic act of suicide, but something happened along the way - Kedren himself was willing to trade his life for the continuation of the family, but his rogue knights didn't think so......

These rogue knights have no desire to follow Kedren to the death, they are just the leaders of the Red Brotherhood, how can the underworld participate in such a mortal battle?

A few hundred remnants of soldiers stormed the military formation of several thousand people, which was originally a suicide.

As a result, the hundreds of Caydron men scattered during the charge, intending to flee separately, but this was just enough to cover Wren's men, and most of the Raven riders returned alive.

His men scattered and fled, and when Kedren himself rushed to the Raven Kingdom's military formation, he was already single-handed......

The troops of the Raven Kingdom were also a little confused in the face of this situation, and Gregory IV was even stupid, he originally thought that the Lion Kingdom was going to use hundreds of death squads to charge their array, and then the Lion Knights charged with heavy horses......

This is a common field battle method used by the Lion Knights, and before the heavy knights of the Lion Knights charge, they often send a Lion Realm cavalry to charge forward to clear obstacles such as horse rejection and spears.

Even if it can't be cleared, the lion knights behind can know where the dense areas of spearmen and archers are, and the lion knights can bypass the spears and break through the enemy's weak spots.

The first wave of civilian cavalry is equivalent to death squads, and if they survive and are not disabled, they will be given the status of armed servants of the Lion Knights, that is, they will become the assistants of the Lion Knights in battle.

Being able to go from civilian cavalry to lion servants is actually a big step up for these cavalrymen - they will become members of the Royal Order.

Of course, the vast majority of them still can't end up being lion knights, after all, they are not of noble origin.

But in any case, it is better to eat imperial grain, no matter which era and wherever, people are always more willing to eat imperial grain......

Actually, this is a tradition of the Lion Knights, but this tradition has changed a little bit now.

This tradition existed at the beginning of the establishment of the Lion Knights, in fact, it was part of the Lion Knights' honor system, which originally meant that you must first have the consciousness and spirit of sacrifice for the country before you can become a member of the glorious Lion Knights.

At the same time, it is also in this way to replenish the ranks of the Knights damaged in battle—to include the bravest and most sacrificial people, which is not only fair, but also very much in line with the first credo of the Lion Knights "Defend the country at all costs".

But now, it's probably a kind of civil service exam......

A kind of public examination that gambles on life.

As King Raven, Gregory IV knew a lot of things, and he also knew the field tradition of the Lion Knights.

Therefore, he had been cautious to make the troops in the Raven Realm shrink in an all-round way, and the front row was currently arranged with neither spearmen nor archers, but highland warriors with large swords.

He planned to let the first wave of soldiers of the Lion Kingdom rush to the front of the battle, let the highland warriors deal with it, without revealing the situation of their array, and use the corpses of the enemy to form an obstacle for the lion knights to charge.

He planned to wait for the main force of the Lion Knights to start charging at it

After that, spears and archers are arranged.

After all, the Lion Knights are famous and powerful, and Gregory IV is actually very careful, and he is mentally prepared to bear a large number of casualties.

But he didn't expect that the group of people who rushed over scattered a hundred meters away.

Only Kedren rushed single-handedly, and although he was hesitant, he looked quite determined—he was alone as he ran, and of course he hesitated.

But Kedren knew he had to die at the hands of the Raven Army, and of course he was determined.

But in the eyes of Gregory IV, this means that the troops of the Lion Kingdom dare not rush into battle!

Has the first wave of death squads, which were once the bravest and least afraid of death, become like this now?

"Capture this man! The army of the Lion Kingdom seems to be a little degenerate...... The Lion Knights may not be as tough as they used to be! The whole army is moving forward!"

Gregory IV felt that the army of the Lion Kingdom was probably not good, and looking at the lack of fighting spirit, maybe the Lion Knights were no longer useful, or that they had no morale in the absence of Ulrique himself?

Gregory IV then ordered the whole army to advance to the front, intending to test the reaction of the Lion Knights.

Kedren had intended to die, so he did not resist at all and did not surrender when the Raven army came.

As a result, Gregory IV's troops "greeted" him into the Raven Kingdom's army as if they were greeting him.

Gregory IV even praised Kedren, believing that he was the only warrior in the Lion Kingdom, and that he dared to charge bravely even when all his men had run out......

"Your name is Kedren? You are a warrior, Lord Baron, but why did your troops abandon you? Other than that...... How could the Lion Knights come so quickly, doesn't King Ulrik care about the safety of the Lion City?"

Gregory IV was ready to ask about the specifics of the Kedren Lion Kingdom.

And Kedren was originally bent on death, but his troops ran away, but he did not die, but was "greeted" into the enemy's camp unscathed......

What does this mean?

This means that he is properly rebellious......

Brennus killed Kedren in the charge, only for his troops to run away, and he himself was greeted into the array by the enemy - a situation that seemed to be a complete surrender!

Especially in the eyes of Brenus, this must be a defection.

At this moment, the Kedren family is afraid that it is over......

Kedren also reacted, he screwed up the last chance to keep the family!

So Kedren doesn't plan to die now, he used to ask for death for the survival of the family, but now this situation means that the whole family is bound to end, so he should find a way to live!

If you want to live, you have to let the Raven Kingdom recruit him......

Kedren reacted quickly and misled Gregory IV, and he was ready to save himself again.

"My Eagle Talon Fort was taken by a traitor, Forsette, so I originally took Lionlake City with the intention of exchanging a city for a city...... But who knew that Brennus led his troops to attack Lion Lake City, he looted Lion Lake City, robbed my property, and insisted that I was a traitor! Not only that, but Brenus also intends to use my soldiers as cannon fodder...... I couldn't let my soldiers die, so I let them leave on their own. But now I really have nowhere to go...... Your Majesty, please give me a dignified death, I have lost everything, and now I only want to preserve my honor."

Kedren was indeed a cunning nobleman with a nimble mind, and this kind of story of a "sad lord who was slandered and persecuted" was actually the easiest to attract in front of a king......

"I won't kill a nobleman like you, since the Lion Kingdom can't accommodate you, you might as well join my Raven Kingdom...... But, Baron Kedron, I've heard that Ulrique is sick...... In other words, the appearance of the Lion Knights here is just a personal act of Brennus?"

Sure enough, think of the appearance of Kedren charging alone, not resisting but not surrendering, and bent on death, Gregory IV

The world is even a little moved......

"His Majesty is indeed seriously ill, and I don't know why the Lion Knights are here...... Anyway, they attacked Lionlake City indiscriminately!"

Kedren was telling the truth this time, and he really didn't know.

But his answer was clearly very misleading to Gregory IV......

Gregory IV felt that the Lion Knights might not be too strong, so he ordered the whole army to move slowly forward for some distance.

It was still a temptation, and the Lion Knights reacted this time, as Brenus split the Lion Knights' team into two teams on the side, looking as if they had no intention of charging.

So Gregory IV came to a conclusion - the Lion Knights may not have been sent by Ulrique, but Brenus, the Grand Master, who brought them out to make things happen, and he didn't dare to let the Lion Knights damage too much!

With the army of Cato also here, as long as you scare Brennus, the Lion Knights will most likely retreat!

"The whole army obeys! Array forward! Kill the Lion Knights!"

Gregory IV thought that this might be the best chance to defeat the Lion Knights!

A unit that is not strong enough to suffer losses will not be able to exert its due strength at all!

If the undefeated record of the Lion Knights can be ended in the field, it will be more valuable to the Raven Kingdom than to get a large territory.

Moreover, as long as Brennus's army is defeated, then you don't need to worry about Eagle Claw Fort at all, and just drive straight to Lion Lake City, which can be easily taken.

Because Forsette in Eagle Claw Fort didn't dare to come out at all in the face of this situation, and the Gatu people were still here!

Gregory IV saw the Cato as an alliance, and although this alliance was unreliable, it could at least scare people, right?

So the Raven army went out in a big way and launched an active attack on Brenus's array!

Brennus was angry and then surprised.

The first thing that was angry was that he originally gave Kedren a chance to clear his name, but Kedren actually disregarded the lives of his whole family and defected to the enemy?

He felt that his brother-in-law had wasted all his hard work.

And then the surprise was that the brother-in-law didn't seem to have surrendered to the enemy, but took the initiative to attack with the enemy?

This is really going undercover!

Brennus thought it was Kedren who had allowed the Ravens to attack......

The fact that the enemy took the initiative to attack in the face of the Lion Knights in the field was indeed a huge surprise for Brenus......

He had just asked the Lion Knights to split into two teams on the side, originally thinking that Kedren's troops had escaped and had not been able to test the situation of the Raven Army, so it was better to be steady, so he adjusted the queue.

But if the Ravens take the initiative to attack, then they don't need to be stable - the enemy can't set up any spear formation when moving, and the Lion Knights' favorite thing is to hedge against the two armies in the field!

"Lion Knights! Charge!"

"Glory is my life!"

A neat shout rang out, and hundreds of lion knights, armed like cans, lined up from both sides, formed two rows in front of the formation, and began to charge against the enemy.

The lion riders are in the front row, and the servants are in the second row to fill the gap.

After the first round of the Lion Knights set off, the second round of the Lion Knights, separated by a few tens of meters behind, also began to charge in the same way......

The entire Lion Knights, in the way they were best at, launched five rounds of sequential charges against the approaching Raven army.

The killing was loud, and the horses' hooves roared.

The sound of the spears crackling came and went, and the screams of the people were almost completely inaudible at this time.

A single misjudgment can ruin everything, especially the judgment of a king.

Gregory IV's misjudgment caused the Raven Realm's troops to be overwhelmed by the Lion Knights in just a few minutes.

The Lion Knights had come on orders from the king, and their will to fight was much stronger than he had imagined, and their commander, Brenus, didn't care about any losses at all

！

And the reaction of the Cato people was completely beyond Gregory IV's expectations - while the two armies were fighting, the Cato cavalry attacked the original camp of the Raven Kingdom troops!

The Cato were actually there to get supplies......

When there is a misjudgment about something, it always leads to a series of mistakes.

Gregory IV also misjudged Forsette......

He thought that Forsette would not dare to go out of the city, but Forsette was very determined to leave the city at this time.

The Lion Knights ravaged the Raven Realm to the west of Talon Castle, while the Cato went north of Talon from the east and occupied the Raven camp.

This led to Forsette, who was in the city, seeing an opportunity.

In fact, from the moment he saw the Cato people, Forsid had already begun to prepare.

Prepare to run.
