Behind him was a tall, thin young man dressed in sumptuous aristocratic attire. He had a handsome face, but his skin was as pale as white paper, and his eyes had an unusual red color, which gave him a strange feminine beauty.

This was personally assigned to DePerro's lieutenant by the vice-president of the Central Council of LaWitt, the great merchant Lorraine, nominally to assist him in retaking Headington. It's just that although this army is under the banner of Depero, everything is actually controlled by this man.

"Spark, you escort Mr. Depero to safety. Hoss, you immediately order the troops on the hillside to come back to help. After reassuring Depero, Edward immediately ordered.

A tall, bearded mercenary nodded and pulled Depero away, while the other led a few people and ran up the hill.

Seeing that Depero was about to escape, Raymond and the others hurriedly increased their speed, and suddenly they saw a pale young man lying across the road, raising his hand at them and making a strange gesture.

In the next moment, countless sharp ice edges suddenly appeared in the air, and with the man's hand, those ice edges immediately shot straight towards Raymond and the others.

"Not good!" Raymond only had time to exclaim, grabbing the reins and pulling to the side.

The horse neighed and was pulled sideways involuntarily, while Raymond bent over in the saddle and hid his entire body behind the horse.

Just listen to a series of dense and dull sounds like popping beans, and sharp ice edges like a blizzard, overwhelmingly enveloping Raymond and the others. I don't know how many times the body of the war horse faced that side, and the side of the horse's body almost became like a honeycomb.

After the ice ridge was shot, the war horse, which had already lost its breath, shook twice and fell to the ground with a bang, Raymond flexibly pulled out and rolled on the ground, avoiding the dilemma of being pressed by the horse's body.

At this time, the others also got up, and only Raymond, Sean, Bath, and Lutz were still alive, and the more than ten garrisons who followed them died tragically, including men and horses.

"Damn, this guy turned out to be a magician. Holding his bleeding right arm, Sean said in surprise.

"It's amazing, and I'm amazed that you've been able to do this. At this moment, with a burst of applause, Edward walked up to several people with an appreciative face: "It's just a small remote town, and there are such difficult guys to deal with, no wonder even Paist is going to suffer." ”

"In Lower Edward, an inconspicuous little character in the Council of Rawitt, I am very fortunate to be able to meet you today. As he spoke, he stooped down and bowed to the crowd with a standard aristocratic salute.

Just looking at his hand just now, he knew that this person was a very high-level magician, so although his behavior was pretend, Raymond and the others did not dare to act rashly for a while.

"Auston has been recaptured by us, admit defeat, you will no longer be able to capture Headington. Raymond said in a deep voice.

"Really?" Unexpectedly, Edward was not surprised at all when he heard the news: "No wonder you can attack us from behind, this hand is really beautiful." ”

"But—" he said, shaking his finger: "I can't agree with your last sentence, it's too early to say who wins and who loses." ”

At the same time, they heard a shout of killing from the other side of the hillside, and everyone turned their heads to see that a large group of mercenaries were giving up their attack on the camp and turning back to kill.

Facing the surprised gazes of Raymond and the others, Edward smiled slightly: "If I guessed correctly, in order to come, you only brought more than 100 people here, right?"

"Of course, if used correctly, this is indeed a force to be reckoned with. However, you were unlucky, so you made a fatal mistake. ”

Hearing this, Raymond was shocked and immediately understood where the leak was.

That is, the timing of the raid is not right!

The crowd finally arrived from Auston, so as soon as they saw the enemy, they couldn't wait to go into battle. However, this move is actually a big mistake.

The enemy's main force was exhausted, and only a few wounded soldiers remained in the camp, which made their surprise attack very smooth, but in other words, the surprise attack that should have inflicted heavy damage on the enemy did not cause any damage to their main force.

The strongest attack of the cavalry was the attack launched by the dense formation, but as it broke through into the enemy camp, everyone was already scattered at this point, and there was no time to organize another charge.

Raymond couldn't help but blame himself, although he was very confident in his mind, but after all, he was still inexperienced, and he even ignored one of the most important factors in battle: the fighter.

The loss of a fighter plane often means a reversal of victory and defeat.

As if reading Raymond's thoughts, Edward smiled and said, "It's dawn, isn't it? Unfortunately, it's too late." I think Headington is probably an empty city now, so if we can kill you, no matter how many people are left on our side, we can easily capture it. ”

"So unfortunately, it seems that in the end you still lost. ”

"Bath, kill him!"

At the same time, Raymond shouted angrily, and Catwoman flew out like a ghost.

Edward smiled grimly, and a string of incantations snapped out of his mouth, his palm pushing at Catwoman.

Immediately, large ice crystals protruded from Baste's feet, piercing into the air like sharp spears. The moment the ice crystal reached her body, Catwoman jumped high, nimbly passed through the gap between the ice crystals, and pounced on Edward in the air.

"Roar!"

At this time, Luz's body swelled rapidly, and he also completed the beast transformation of Beamon in an instant, and then he was about to rush towards Edward.

"Leave him alone, that guy isn't our target!" Raymond hurriedly stopped him, "Luz, go and stop those enemies and buy time for the cavalry." ”

The giant Beamon nodded, and turned back to meet the enemy.

"Sean, you try to gather everyone and surprise the enemy from the flank when they rush down the hill and they haven't formed a formation. Then, Raymond said to Sean again.

Unbewitched by Edward's words, Raymond regained his composure in a short time and quickly made the right judgment.

Sean immediately endured his arm injury and mounted his horse to gather the cavalry, which had been completely scattered.

By this time, Baster had already launched several attacks on Edward. However, Edward's magic is very strong, and the casting speed is also extremely fast, and each time it is a large-scale ice magic, so although Catwoman, a type known for her speed, is the nemesis of magicians, she can't get close for a while.

After being repulsed by Edward's ice sword again, Barste leaned to the ground and pulled out the scimitar at her waist with her backhand, intending to strike again. At that moment, several arrows suddenly shot at her.

Baste hurriedly swung her sword away from the arrows and leaped back vigilantly. At this moment, six mercenaries were seen holding weapons and rushed to Edward's side.

"Mr. Edward, are you alright?" said one of the leading mercenaries.

Edward shook his head and pointed at Raymond and Bathter, "I'm fine, kill these two guys who are in the way." ”

The group of mercenaries nodded, and fanned out to the two of them, while Edward smiled disdainfully at Raymond and turned to leave.

"Bathter, don't let that guy escape. Raymond immediately said to Baste. Edward's magic was strong, and if he turned to the cavalry, it would probably cause a lot of disturbance to them, so he must not be let out.

Basz nodded, and in a flash her figure circled Edward's side, blocking his path. At the same time, Raymond also drew his sword and said to the group of mercenaries, "Come on, your opponent is here." ”

“...... What a nuisance. Edward stopped and sighed helplessly. Then his expression suddenly became extremely hideous: "Since you want to die so much, then I will fulfill you." ”

"Die, monster!"

Three mercenaries with swords in their hands rushed towards Luz with a wild scream.

With a wave of his giant palm, the Luz who had transformed into a Beamon beast immediately turned into a blur of flesh and blood, flying several meters away.

And just as Luz killed his opponent, several arrows took the opportunity to shoot and nail him to the shoulder.

At the moment, centered on the place where Luz stood, the ground was littered with dozens of enemy corpses. In front of him, hundreds of mercenaries crowded together, but it was as if there was an invisible boundary between the two sides, and although the other party was numerous, they did not dare to step forward.

However, although he relied on the strength of the Beamon Beast to stop the enemy army, Ruz was also not lightly injured. The huge body of the Beamon beast was covered with sword scars, and more than a dozen arrows were stuck in his shoulders and back, dripping blood down the shaft of the arrow and dripping to the ground.

"Hurry up and get on me!" At this time, at the urging of an officer, more than a dozen mercenaries came out of the crowd.

This time, they all held their spears and huddled together to attack using the distance advantage of their spears. Luz couldn't directly attack the enemy himself, so he had only one spear in his hand, but more than a dozen thick spear shafts were difficult to break even with Beamon's strange power.

"Quick, the giant axeman is on me!" Seeing that Lutz's movement was restrained, the officer hurriedly ordered.

Two mercenaries armed with giant axes immediately rushed forward, raised their axes and slashed at Luz. Unable to move while holding the spear, Luz had no choice but to turn to his side and use his still able hand to claw one of the great axemen into the air, but that arm was also slashed by another man.

The heavy axe left a deep scar on Beamon's thick arm, and blood spurted out in an instant, and Luz roared in pain, and the hand holding the spear could not help but let go.

The spearmen coordinated very well, and as soon as Luz relented, they immediately stabbed Luz with their spears in a mess, leaving more than a dozen wounds on Beamon's body.

The stimulation of the severe pain made Luz furious, he looked up to the sky and let out a roar, and his arm circled all the spears again, and then the muscles on his arm suddenly expanded, and in a cracking sound like thunder, more than ten spears were unbelievably broken by him.

The dozen or so spearmen couldn't regain their momentum, and all of them fell towards Luz's side, and then there was a bloody rain, and none of them were spared under the slap of the furious Beamon Beast's giant palm.

Killing the spearman, Luz finally couldn't hold it anymore and fell to his knees, the huge body of the Beamon beast rising and falling, blood gushing out from wounds all over the place.

Although the Beamon Beast has the combat power of one enemy and one hundred, it is difficult to have many enemies after all. Especially in the face of hundreds of well-trained mercenaries, under the organized and coordinated attack of the other party, even Luz is difficult to resist.

In fact, he was able to hold back the enemy for so long on his own, which was quite impressive.

Seeing that Luz had finally fallen, the officer was overjoyed and waved his hand, "Give it to me, cut off the head of this monster!"

A group of mercenaries slowly surrounded Luz with weapons in hand, like a pack of hounds approaching an exhausted giant bear.

At the critical moment, a sound of horses' hooves was heard, and at the same time, several mercenaries shouted, "Enemy cavalry!" but Sean went around to the enemy's flank and launched an attack on them after trying to gather the cavalry.

Ignoring Beamon any longer, the commander of the mercenaries hurriedly ordered to meet the enemy, these mercenaries were worthy of strict training, although they panicked, they did not panic, and saw dozens of mercenaries with shields quickly running to the flanks, squatting down and holding the shields in front of them, and at the same time a group of spearmen came behind them and put their spears on the shoulders of the front soldiers.

Although there were only a few hundred troops left, it was still a good way to defend itself.

Almost as soon as the spear array was set up here, nearly a hundred cavalry had already rushed in. When they came closer, the knights lifted the reins of their horses, and the horses jumped up and crashed into the spear formation with a neighing sound, after all, there were only dozens of spears, and when the first few horses were pierced through the body, the weight of their corpses pressed the spears down, and the cavalry behind immediately rushed in through the gap.

The enemy soldiers behind immediately panicked and were cut down by the cavalry. However, although this was a beautiful roundabout charge, due to the narrow terrain under the hillside, there was not enough room for the horses to run, and the cavalry only reluctantly allowed the horses to accelerate the attack, and once they rushed into the crowd, they were immediately unable to continue due to lack of speed.

As the momentum of the horses stopped, the cavalry immediately fell into the encirclement of the enemy army. A cavalryman who loses the power of impact is equivalent to having his legs cut off, and the advantage of the war horse no longer exists, but becomes an obstacle to the knight on horse.

The guards on horseback slashed at the surrounding enemies, but because of the lack of steering force of the horses, they did not care about the front and back, and soon people were constantly pulled off their horses or stabbed to death by spears.

Once again, the enemy forces gained the upper hand.

Could it be that everyone has fought all night and fought hard until now, but will they still fall short after all?

At that moment, a chaotic noise was heard on the hillside, and the part of the enemy troops who remained on it to continue attacking the camp suddenly let out a cry of terror and fled downward.

At this time, if anyone is on the hillside, Rubens will be seen leading the way, armed with a great axe and dozens of men, chasing down the defeated enemy soldiers, while behind them, Harlot and other lightly wounded mercenaries are running towards the side of the hill with a few huge logs.

After all, Edward still underestimated the Blue Wolf Mercenary Group, he thought that this remnant army had already lost its combat effectiveness, but he knew that the tenacity of these people was far beyond imagination. As soon as the pressure lessened slightly, they exploded into a strong rebound.

When most of the enemy army attacked the cavalry, Rubens was keenly aware of the change in the fighters, and he immediately gathered all the members who could still fight, and crushed the few enemies who were ready to stay to "clean up the battlefield" in one go, and rushed straight to the rear of the enemy army.

Chasing them to the edge of the hill, Harlot and the others put the huge logs that had been removed from the outer wall of the camp on the ground, and rolled down against the enemy troops below.

Then, everyone also rushed downward.

When the fleeing mercenaries fled in terror, the enemy troops down the hillside still didn't know what was happening. But soon they were smashed by the falling logs, and followed the green wolf mercenary group down the mountain like fierce tigers, and slaughtered into the enemy.

At this time, there were less than 100 green wolf mercenaries who could still fight, which showed the tragedy of this offensive and defensive battle.

"Aha, boys on horseback, it's up to us in the end, Dinisus bless the infantry!" Rubens' great axe flew to the sound of laughter, and everyone who came close to the former was slashed to the ground.

Over there, Ruz also rose to his strength, and the bloodied Beamon Beast roared into the enemy line, its giant claws waving, and the stumps and blood of the enemy flew into the sky.

The battle came to this point, and it was no longer the strength that was fighting, but the will to fight, and the successive blows finally made the remaining enemy forces collapse, and despite the officers' scolding, the mercenaries began to flee in all directions.

The cavalry finally had a place to use again, and under Sean's command, the warriors, who had been a little depressed just now, turned their horses and began to pursue the defeated enemy.

At this time, the green wolf mercenaries, who were extremely brave a moment ago, invariably dropped their weapons and lay on the ground exhausted, obviously the last counter-charge had exhausted all their strength.

The giant Beamon fell to its knees again, and its body began to shrink back sharply, returning to its human form.

Looking at this posture, if the enemy army had held on for a few more moments, I am afraid that they would have collapsed.

But... I've finally survived.

And just when the enemy army was completely defeated, the battle on Raymond's side also came to an end.
