Chapter 1026. Another victory, the new Divine Grace Legion joins the battle!
"Da da da~"
On the Golden Avenue.
There was a endless stream of cavalry galloping.
After the Holy Son Commander at the border of Hastings Fortress heard that the Duke of Devon had lost contact.
The order was issued immediately.
Twenty thousand elite cavalry were urgently dispatched from the vicinity of the Duke of Devon to conduct reconnaissance.
The order was issued within one day.
The assembly began the next day.
The third day of marching.
On the fourth day.
The vanguard of 20,000 cavalrymen had already appeared on the outskirts of the Duke of Devon's territory.
There aren't many forwards.
There were only two thousand knights.
The commander was Viscount Todd of the Kingdom of Light.
"Your Mightiness."
"In front is the knight's manor of Lanes, the fiefdom of the Duke of Devon."
"Send someone to take a look."
"Yes!"
Inside the Knight's Manor.
Several mercenaries were searching for supplies inside.
"Damn it, we're late. All the land here has been scraped away."
"I really regret going to the Wolf Forest to hunt. If we had stayed in the Mercenary City, we would have made a fortune."
"That bastard Downes actually made a fortune. I heard that he quietly left here yesterday with two large carts of valuables."
"What, Downes, the blind cripple?"
"That's him. This bastard still owes me ten copper coins. He won't pay me back even though he got rich."
"Oh my god, why am I so diligent."
"Hey, there's a gold coin here, where is it, where is it?"
Several mercenaries squeezed over and saw golden light shining under the soil.
"Damn it, it's mine."
"Mine, it's mine."
Mercenaries are generally poor.
For a gold coin, they were willing to draw their swords and kill each other.
Just as several mercenaries raised their weapons.
The sound of horse hoofbeats came.
"Hey, didn't Alpha's knights return to the Mercenary City after looting? How come there are still cavalry?"
"Isn't it going to plunder somewhere farther away?"
"Haha, I can't fall behind this time."
"Go together, go together."
The jubilant mercenaries ran out of the manor waving their weapons.
They ran into the cavalry of the Kingdom of Light head-on.
"Oh no, it's a noble!"
They turned and were about to run.
But how can legs be as fast as a horse?
He was soon knocked to the ground.
"The Knight's Manor has been looted."
"There are only these few mercenaries."
"Take it back and show it to His Excellency the Viscount."
"Yes!"
"Sir Todd."
"We only found mercenaries."
"No living person was found in the Knight's Manor."
Todd looked into the distance for a moment, then looked at the mercenaries.
His body was in tatters, and the only valuable things were his stinking leather armor and the dagger in his hand.
It fits the nobles' stereotype of mercenaries.
"I ask, you answer."
"If you make a mistake, you will die!"
Mercenaries naturally dislike nobles, but they are also afraid of death.
"Yes Yes Yes."
Several people replied hurriedly.
"Who attacked the Knight's Manor?"
"Alpha's Knight."
"What time."
"Three days ago."
"how many people!"
"There are three thousand cavalry."
"And mercenaries. Yes, the mercenaries from the Mercenary City also helped them."
After hearing this, Viscount Todd's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
"How many people are there in the Mercenary City?"
"No, I don't know. Alpha's people drove away all the mercenaries."
"But I heard that a large number of cavalry left."
Hearing this, Viscount Todd was slightly startled.
"Where have you gone?"
"I don't know."
"We just came back from the Canglang Forest and were looking for something to do."
“I didn’t expect that everyone here died.”
Upon hearing this, Viscount Todd snorted coldly.
He still had no idea what these mercenaries were trying to do.
"killed!"
Several mercenaries looked up.
"Sir, you promised us."
"Don't kill us, we are still useful."
"Yes, many mercenaries left the city and went into hiding. They robbed the nobles of their wealth. I know how to find them."
"Leave us alone, sir."
When Todd heard this, he had an idea.
"Do you know the location of the other mercenaries?"
"Yes, we all know."
"Come on, take them and search."
"After finding it, the mercenaries will form a death squad!"
"Yes!"
outside the city.
The location where Frosa's three thousand cavalrymen are hiding.
"Report."
"Sir, the enemy has taken the bait."
"Several mercenaries were at the Knight Manor in the north and were discovered by the Light Kingdom cavalry who arrived."
"Now they have been caught, and we are taking them to the trap we set!"
The 1.5 cavalrymen who participated in this surprise attack were all elite troops in Alpha.
Naturally, they also understood that they would inevitably fail if they simply defended the city.
So Frosa's 3000 cavalry maneuvered outside the city.
After robbing the nobles, they began to set traps.
First, spread the word that the mercenaries in the Mercenary City have made a fortune.
This aroused the jealousy of the mercenaries outside.
These greedy mercenaries will certainly search everywhere for the looted manors.
Wait until the cavalry from the Kingdom of Light appears.
These guys must have been caught.
As a mercenary, he certainly wouldn't just wait to die.
They will beg for mercy and try to survive.
They will inevitably betray their companions.
Little do they know that the moment of betrayal is the moment of falling into a trap.
Now the places where the mercenaries left behind are all traps set by Frosa.
Once you step in, there is no coming back.
soon.
Todd's two thousand cavalrymen entered the Duke of Devon.
He was very cautious and sent out 100 knights as scouts, extending the alert area very far.
At the same time, 200 knights were sent to follow the mercenaries.
Go and confirm whether there is a trap there.
But what they didn't know was that from the moment they entered the Duke of Devon.
You've already fallen into the trap.
All that awaits them is death.
"Sir."
"Look, there it is."
"Akanaro Market."
"The mercenaries who have made a fortune are all waiting here to leave."
"This market is close to the waterway, and at fixed times, a fleet will leave."
The knight looked in the direction of the mercenary.
Indeed, we saw a large amount of goods displayed at the dock.
The market was bustling with people coming and going.
"Humph!"
"A lowly mercenary."
He then rode back and told Todd the news.
“There’s a dock!”
As a commander, he naturally knows the importance of such a place. By controlling it, he can obtain a steady supply of supplies.
"Send the order!"
"Gather the knights and surround this place."
"All mercenaries, leave no one behind, and take control of this market."
"As ordered!"
With the order given.
"dong dong dong"
There was a vibration in the ground.
The sound of galloping war horses was heard.
Todd saw that people in the market began to panic.
"idiot!"
“Still waiting to leave by water.”
He had great contempt for the marauding mercenaries.
But just as the knights arrived outside the market.
Something unexpected happened.
"shoot!"
Inside the market, the mercenaries who were originally in chaos suddenly rushed towards the market fence.
Lift the tarp over the cargo.
A number of shiny bows and crossbows were revealed.
"shoot!"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa~"
The first round of crossbow arrows shot out like locusts.
"Dududu~"
The knights at the front had no time to react, and they were shot into sieves while wearing only chain mail.
"It's a trap."
"There's an ambush!"
Todd, who was behind, saw this and yelled.
"retreat!"
The bamboo warhorse ran backwards.
And just then.
"Dong dong dong."
There was a vibration sound from the ground.
"Knights of the Guard!"
"Roar!"
"Ping gun!"
"Crash!"
In the distance, a forest of lances appeared.
"charge!"
Accompanied by roars.
The three thousand guards rushed into the formation of the vanguard cavalry like a tiger descending from the mountain.
The war ended quickly.
The Light Kingdom cavalry fell into an ambush and had no time to react.
He was knocked off his horse by the lance.
Then came the stampede of war horses.
Of the two thousand knights, only less than a hundred were left.
And all were captured.
Among them was Sir Todd.
"I am a noble."
"According to the laws of the nobility, you cannot kill me."
Todd raised his head and shouted.
Frosa, carrying an axe on his shoulder, rode up to him.
"Row."
"Your Excellency, noble sir."
"Then tell me, how many of you are here?"
"Twenty thousand!"
"Where are you coming from and who gave the order."
"Assemble nearby, order from the northern fortress."
At this time, Todd was very tactful and told all the information.
There is no need to hide it now.
"Let him go!"
Flossa waved.
"You are a true knight. If I capture you on the battlefield, I will definitely kill you."
Todd said in a serious tone.
Frosa smiled.
"Of course!"
Todd rode away alone, and the remaining one hundred captured knights were all beheaded.
"Your Mightiness."
"Why did you let him go?"
The attendant beside him asked in confusion.
"Of course, put down the second bait!"
"You don't think that my only goal is this striker."
"Sir, do you want to?"
"But we are only 3,000 people!"
Frosa smiled.
"So what if there are three thousand people?"
"What's more, the Iron Guard will also join in."
"Order the Legion to proceed to the ambush point according to the original plan."
"It's going to be a big fish this time."
"Yes, Your Excellency."
"Viscount Todd, you ran back alone."
"Two thousand knights were wiped out?"
Todd returned and was brought before the commander-in-chief for questioning.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Duke of Stoll."
"I was ambushed, and the one who ambushed me was a true noble."
"I paid for the information, and he let me go."
After hearing this, Duke Stoll felt very upset.
"This idiot."
But there was nothing he could do about Todd.
Because Todd's family is big and powerful.
"Sir Stoll, I know it's my responsibility this time."
"I will be punished according to the laws of the kingdom."
"But I have a tip."
"Most of the invading Alpha Knights have left."
"The ones who stayed behind are probably three thousand."
"If we can attack the Mercenary City directly."
"Maybe we can take back this city."
"And as long as we occupy the Mercenary City."
"Sir, we are the greatest credit."
Stoll looked at the other person with disdain.
"Understood, you go down."
He did not listen to the advice of a defeated general.
And he was a total idiot.
Those who listen to him are dissatisfied with not dying fast enough!
Stoll decided to take it slow.
Not subject to any temptation.
The remaining 1.8 cavalry were divided into three formations.
Heading towards the Mercenary City from three directions.
The three formations were only three kilometers apart.
And these three kilometers are the distance of their death.
"Storr's commander is in the center line, with 10000 troops."
"There are 4000 cavalry on each wing."
"My suggestion is that I lead the guard knights to attack the left wing."
"The mercenaries will attack the right flank and hold them back."
"As long as my attack goes smoothly, I can successfully disrupt their formation."
"Wait until the middle moves."
"The three thousand Iron Guards charged straight into the center of the army."
"You are all magic crystal warriors, it is easy to break the formation."
"As long as the commander is killed, these cavalry will be defeated immediately."
Frosa suggested to the legendary Iron Guard commander beside him.
"Good advice."
"But you are not strong enough, and mercenaries cannot be trusted."
"I'll give you 500 Iron Guards."
"Leave another 1000 to the right wing."
"I will personally lead 500 guards to kill the general and seize the flag."
After both parties completed the discussion.
The battle soon begins.
The left-wing cavalry of the Kingdom of Light was the first to discover Frosa's cavalry.
The difference in numbers between the two sides was only 500.
But the combat effectiveness is incomparable.
"attack!"
Frosa did not hesitate and personally led five hundred iron guards as the spearhead.
Three thousand cavalrymen followed closely behind him.
Seeing this, the left-wing cavalry of the Kingdom of Light immediately raised their lances.
"For the king."
"attack!"
The two cavalry units collided head-on.
Soon, the cavalry of the Kingdom of Light found that their comrades fell one after another.
The commander of the left wing cavalry was killed by the Iron Guards at the first moment.
The entire cavalry corps collapsed.
"Magic Crystal Warrior."
"They are all magic crystal warriors!"
The sound of panic spread across the battlefield.
The surviving warriors turned their horses and fled.
Frosa didn't expect the Iron Guards to be so powerful.
The opponent will be dispersed in one round.
And at this time.
The Duke of Stor in the center received news that the left wing corps was attacked.
He was also prepared to order the enemy to be delayed and send his own legions to encircle them.
As a result, the order has not been issued yet.
Then the sound of the left wing cavalry collapsing and disappearing was heard.
And immediately after.
Bad news also came from the right wing cavalry corps.
1000 cavalrymen charged and easily killed the right-wing cavalry commander.
More than 5,000 mercenaries followed and rushed forward.
Defeated the right wing army.
just now!
The two wings were defeated, and the enemy's cavalry was outflanking their rear.
Stoll was stunned when he heard the news.
He felt like the sky was falling.
"Damn it!"
"Todd, that bastard, didn't he say there were only three thousand cavalrymen?"
"This force has exceeded 10,000."
Although he rejected Todd's suggestion, he subconsciously judged the number of the Alpha Legion based on Todd's three thousand cavalry.
did not expect!
It was totally wrong.
At this time he also realized why the enemy let Todd go.
Just want to mislead yourself.
But I was stupid and fell into the trap.
"retreat."
"retreat!"
Stoll could only roar on the battlefield and try to retreat with 10,000 cavalry.
But that's it.
The legendary commander's five hundred iron guards appeared.
He gripped his rifle tightly and closed his mask.
"For Alpha!"
"Iron Guard!"
"charge!"
Even if there were five hundred people, Stoll was still afraid at this moment.
"Stop them."
"Stop them."
Unfortunately, it was all in vain.
The Iron Guard, which is composed entirely of magic crystal warriors, is too strong.
They were like a white line, and all the cavalry blocking their way were pushed away.
The cavalry who had turned their horses around and tried to escape were stopped abruptly.
And at this time.
The victorious cavalry on both wings completed the encirclement.
The left and right wings launched an attack together.
Stoll's cavalry formation collapsed instantly.
On the battlefield.
The elite cavalry of the Kingdom of Light threw away their weapons and fled for their lives.
Stoll even rushed out with ten guards at the first opportunity.
He escaped from the Dukedom of Devon like the wind.
Soon.
The news of the defeat spread throughout the Kingdom of Wright.
The whole country was shocked.
But that's not the scariest thing.
Soon.
The Tully family's stronghold was breached.
A legion of 7,000 men turned southeast and marched into the Great Plains.
The whole capital.
The nobles, who were originally panicked, turned into horror.
In the royal capital, there were more and more calls for the fortress corps to be dispatched southward.
Even the king began to suffer the strain.
And this moment.
The northern fortress group.
The Holy Son Commander also frowned.
It wasn’t because the 20,000 cavalry were defeated.
But just now.
A message came.
A troop of three thousand Alpha cavalry appeared behind the fortress.
Within two days, more than a dozen warehouses storing supplies were attacked.
Looted a large number of merchant groups.
"Good means."
"What a good idea!"
"Fang Yuan's move, if you attack me, I will save you!"
"But if you think that you want me to divide my forces just for this, then you are underestimating the gods."
"Somebody come!"
"Ask the gods for permission to send the newly formed Divine Grace Legion to join the war!"
"Destroy Alpha's invading army!" (End of this chapter)
