Chapter 227: Battle (1)

When everyone looked up, they saw that it was Main, but they didn't expect him to come.

"Master Main, why are you here?" everyone looked at him strangely. I saw Main smile and said: "The big war is coming, why don't I have to come and see it, after all, this is the first battle after your debut." ”

Everyone thanked Main for hearing this, but Sawan knew in his heart that Main was probably commissioned by the Magic Guild to supervise the battle. Sawin smiled and said, "Just now the master said that there is a way, I don't know what the specific way is?"

Main nodded and said: "Your forces are at a disadvantage in this battle, so if you want to defeat the opponent, you have to rely on the help of magic, and the war magic guilds on the continent will basically not intervene before, so few people will consider the role of magic in war." Our Magic Guild attaches great importance to this battle, not only sending a number of magicians, but also showing the power of magic to the entire continent through this operation. ”

Everyone was somewhat unimpressed by Main's statement, how much could a few magicians do alone, but for the sake of Main's face, no one could say what was in their hearts.

Although Main noticed that everyone's faces were a little unconvinced, but he didn't take it to heart, it is normal to have such suspicions, in fact, there are quite few people in the mainland who really understand magic, on the one hand, of course, the ruler is wary of the Magic Guild, on the other hand, it is also because the Magic Guild has always maintained a sense of mystery.

Main pointed to the map and said, "I don't have any other requirements for this battle, I just hope that you will choose an open place for the battlefield, so that it is more convenient for magic to exert its due power." ”

Hortz and the others all frowned when they heard this, and they had discussed that they would choose a dangerous place to block, so that they could make full use of the geographical advantage, so that it would be possible to win more with less. But now Main has offered to fight in the open, which disrupts their previous deployment.

It was difficult for everyone to refute Main to their faces, so they all set their eyes on Savan, and he had to make the decision on this matter, and it would be more appropriate for Sawin to raise objections. Sawin thought for a while, then finally nodded and said, "Then listen to Master Main and choose the location of the battle in an open place." ”

"Very well, I'll talk about the specific plan...... Main said satisfied.

Ten days later, in the early morning, the mist had not yet lifted, and the gentle sun shone obliquely on the flat earth. This is the plain of the Dorne River, more than 300 miles north of Tetur, and has always been known for its fertile land. For hundreds of years, the inhabitants of this area have long forgotten what war looks like, but today, a great war is about to start here.

The two sides of the war were naturally on the side led by Savan, and on the side led by King Malves III. Savan finally gathered 6,000 people, and opposite them was a coalition of many nobles, numbering almost 30,000 people. The difference in strength between the two sides was nearly five times, and many people in front of the station expected that it would be a one-sided war.

Long before the war, the people in the city of Tetur were already panicked, and many people were afraid that they would be drawn into the war, so they packed up their things early and fled to other places, and the whole city looked like the end was coming. Savin knew that this was also a helpless thing, and no matter what language was used, it would not be possible to dispel everyone's worries, and only a real victory would be the best proof.

As early as four days earlier, Sahain had led his army to the predetermined battlefield ahead of schedule, choosing a hillside and setting up camp. As soon as the camp was set up, Sahain ordered the soldiers to dig a trench in the battlefield and divert the waters of the Dorne River to the front of the camp. This was what Main had asked him to do, and he had his magicians bury a lot of things all over the battlefield, all of which were in Main's plan.

When Savan's side was almost ready, the King's side finally reached the other side of the battlefield. I saw flags of various colors waving in the breeze, and each flag had a family coat of arms representing the nobility, and one only had to look at these flags to understand how many nobles had bet on the king's side.

The corners of Savin's mouth showed a slight sneer, these nobles all ran to the king, so that they could make these nobles submit at one time, but it would save him time to clean up one by one in the future. Unlike Samin's coldness, the usually calm Main was quite excited this time, and he was already a little eager to show the world how terrible magic would be.

Early in the morning, the troops of both sides had an early meal, and then, led by the officers, lined up in a neat line and set up a position in front of their respective camps. On Savan's side, the army was all behind the water-filled trench, which was what Main had always requested, and he patted his chest and assured that as long as he had this ditch, he would be foolproof.

Seeing that he was talking so much, Sawin wanted to see what tricks he could play.

The king's army was the first to blow the horn loudly, which could be heard clearly even at a distance of several miles, and the rumbling of war drums was approaching, and through the early morning mist, the black-pressed army could be seen rushing towards the hillside where Savin and the others were coming.

As the other side got closer and closer, there began to be some small commotion among the soldiers on Savin's side, and it was these soldiers that Savin was most worried about. Many of them were newly recruited, and it was the first time to see such a big scene, and it was impossible not to be nervous, and the only way was not to let their morale collapse and give them enough encouragement.

"Blow the horn!" Samhain ordered, a high-pitched howl that rang out in unison, the sound piercing the mist and reaching the sky.

Sure enough, inspired by the sound of the horn, many soldiers straightened up again, the panic and confusion in their eyes were reduced a lot, and the small commotion had been completely stabilized.

The king's army came to a halt more than a mile away, and both sides stood still, and confronted each other in silence. Compared to the size of the King's army, the Sahain's army was much thinner, and the King's army had a total of ten phalanxes, eight of which were neat pikemen, and one of which was hidden behind the pikemen.

On Sahain's side were three phalanxes, one pikemen on the left and one on the left, and in the middle was a heavily armored swordsman's formation, which was extremely rare in southern army battles. Unlike the North, few countries in the South could afford cavalry, so the phalanx of pikemen was the most common configuration in warfare.

Not everyone can have a heavy armor swordsman army like Sawin's men, not to mention anything else, that fine heavy armor alone is a very terrifying expense, and the two-handed heavy swords used by those swordsmen are also from the hands of dwarven craftsmen, for which Sawin spent millions of gold coins.

"What a bunch of fools, it's not enough for us to charge. The commander of the king's army, Logaris, sat on his horse and looked at the opposing army and sneered.

Logaris, commander of the Northwest Frontier Army in Hironis, immediately led his army to his service when he learned that the king had arrived in the realm of Lebras. It wasn't that he was loyal, but simply saw it as a great opportunity for political speculation, as long as he helped the king to restore, and the future marshal was just around the corner.

Logaris led his troops for many years and often boasted himself as a famous general of Herones, but in reality he fought only a handful of battles. But this did not prevent him from contemptuous of his enemies, who seemed to him to be a rabble, what kind of army could Amberton's miser bring out, and if he could fight, the sow would be able to climb the tree!

"Forward, crush this bunch of crumbs!" Logaris commanded in a loud voice.

With his orders, the king's army moved forward again, and the soldiers shouted neat slogans, creating a powerful momentum like a tsunami. Logaris thought proudly, "I'm afraid that this shout can scare the other party half to death." ”

When the king's army was still two hundred paces away from the other side, both sides could already clearly see each other's faces, and the brutal slaughter was about to begin.

"Shoot the arrows!" With an order, the archers of the King's army drew their strong bows together, and thousands of arrows rained down on each other.
