Allen's attire today was the same as when he left Oriska. Gojoseon and Dragon Flame carried their sabers and swords on their backs. He looked back and swept his gaze across the members of the commando team. Apart from Regis, Lola, Fares, and Lucy, these members also included the twenty Golden Scorpion Swordsmen of the Boleyn Clan. These swordsmen came from noble families and had always been arrogant. Normally, even if Allen had the status of Count, it would be difficult for them to respect him. However, in the battle of Mirahan, Allen's stunning saber strike had convinced many people, including these Golden Scorpion Swordsmen. When Woodrick informed them to follow Allen to attack the enemy experts, none of the swordsmen refused.
Apart from these people, there were also ten Steel Blade Warriors who would open the way for this group. This was also the reason why Lucy was involved in the base. As for Adele, her sniping was not suitable for this kind of rapid change of position assault, so she left Allen in the rear of the main army.
The members of the commando team mounted their horses one after another, while Lucy and Allen rode together. Seeing that everyone was ready, Allen simply shouted, "Follow me!" Immediately, he clamped his legs tightly around the horse's abdomen, and the warhorse stood up. With a long neigh, he shot out like an arrow and took the lead!
This group left the main army and circled around the side of the battlefield. Although they had quite a few people, they were like a splash in the sea in this battle of thousands of people. It would not attract anyone's attention at all. Allen spurred his horse forward. Cannonballs continuously whistled past his head. His eyes were dyed red by the flames, and the rumbling sounds of explosions and shouts could be heard in his ears.
Steel, flames, and smoke became the theme of this space. This was a man's world!
Allen felt a voice roaring in his body, urging him to fight. Even he did not notice that the flames in his eyes were burning wildly, and it was as if magma was churning. It was as if the ancestral will that resided in the depths of his consciousness was peering at the world through his eyes.
The team had already crossed the front line of the battle and circled to the left flank of the enemy cavalry position. The enemy immediately sent a team to intercept them. It seemed that Mason's commander treated them as an ordinary harassment team.
It was a fatal mistake.
Lucy raised her hand, and the golden rose ring on her finger shone with a golden radiance. The Steel Edge Warriors who were running on both sides of the team suddenly sped up. These war machines hidden in cloaks lit up with two bright red fireflies in their helmets. They sped up, leaving deep footprints on the wasteland. After a few sprints, they overtook the team and gathered in front. With the leader of the warriors, Gertais, as the vanguard, the ten Steel Edge Warriors formed an arrow formation. Each of them dragged their heavy weapons on the ground, arched their iron shoulders, and crashed into the enemy.
People were thrown off their horses!
At the moment of collision, seven or eight warhorses, along with the Knight on them, were sent flying into the air. The man and the horse bounced three or four meters high before landing. What welcomed them was the uniform attack of the Steel Edge Warriors. These war machines suddenly raised their heavy weapons on the ground. Giant swords and evil axes rang out in unison. Be it humans or warhorses, they were all cut open in the air. Blood rained down, and the vanguard of the enemy cavalry immediately collapsed.
The Steel Edge Warriors spread out to the left and right, allowing Allen and the others to march in. Allen's eyes were spitting fire. Gojoseon and Dragonflame were unsheathed at the same time, each waving a ball of sword light. Flesh and blood splattered everywhere they passed. No Knight could block a single blade or sword. At this moment, the Steel Edge Warriors protected the left and right sides of the team. With one attack, they scattered the intercepting team. Allen ignored the enemy soldiers who were fleeing. He could already see the enemy's main force in front of him.
They were still pushing forward, trying to suppress the Dragon Army's penetration. At this moment, a few soldiers at the edge of the battle formation finally discovered Allen's team. A Knight was about to warn them when his helmet suddenly flashed with sparks. He was shot in the forehead and fell off his horse.
Behind Allen, a wisp of green smoke rose from the muzzle of Lucy's Golden Rose.
"Open the bow!" a Golden Bear Swordsman shouted. They all took out the longbows on their backs, nocked an arrow, and pulled the bowstring. Only when the bowstring was fully drawn did they shoot out the arrow. The Golden Bear Swordsmen's forte lay more in their swordsmanship, but the arrows they shot out were very powerful. With one volley, they took down more than ten soldiers at the edge of the enemy formation. And when the team was only a hundred meters away from the enemy formation, they fired three consecutive volleys.
"Follow me closely!" Allen roared again. Gojoseon pointed forward. A ball of vermilion heavenly fire appeared out of nowhere. The flames rolled backward, forming an inverted arc. It looked like a burning awl. As Allen charged forward, this flaming awl drilled into the enemy formation. The cavalry that was hit by the awl were all bounced back. Men and horses were set ablaze at the same time. The soldiers screamed and fled in all directions, creating quite a bit of chaos.
Allen used the flame awl to open the way, leading the assault team into the enemy formation. Lucy stretched out her hand and waved it down. The Steel Edge Warriors immediately dispersed their formation, while the Golden Bear Swordsmen filled the gaps in the war machines. With the Steel Edge Warriors as nodes, the Golden Bear Swordsmen were able to rely on their protection to separate their hands and feet. At this moment, everyone unsheathed their swords and reaped the lives of the enemy soldiers with simple and efficient swordsmanship.
At this moment, an enemy expert suddenly jumped up high in front of the group. The expert held two axes in his hands and spun in the air. He raised his left hand and a short double-moon axe in his hand flew out with a whistling sound. The axe dragged along a pale yellow Origin Energy radiance, drawing an arc that hit the cannonball flying through the sky and detonating it in the air. Looking at the fire clouds blooming above his head, the expert pursed his lips and felt a little proud. Suddenly, he felt an incomparably fierce aura approaching from the left. He turned around and saw Allen carrying Gojoseon's dragon flames. The expert had nowhere to dodge in midair, so he could only forcefully circulate his Origin Energy and use the remaining axe to chop at Allen with all his might.
Gojoseon let out a low cry, and a three-inch Zhu Feng ejected from the blade. Allen narrowed his eyes and stepped into the void. A ball of heavenly flames exploded behind him, pushing him to increase his speed and instantly passing by the enemy expert.
After Allen reached the highest point, he rolled to the other side of the battlefield, where there were the auras of a few experts. As for the person behind him, the double-moon axe that had previously destroyed the cannonball circled back, but its owner no longer had the strength to catch it. The expert suddenly turned into a human-shaped fireball in midair and fell back. He landed on the ground, but he never got up again.
Battle! Battle! Battle!
After the enemy cavalry began to be unable to block the penetration of the Dragon Army, the main army of the subjugation army began to press forward. But at that moment, the enemy blew a short but rhythmic horn. After the horn sounded, the miscellaneous cavalry began to retreat. A cavalry unit in khaki-colored armor was in charge of covering their retreat, covering the retreat of their allies behind the town walls and fleeing in the direction of the small town.
After the cavalry left the battlefield, the rearguard raised the white flag and surrendered. Even Woodrick was taken aback by the shameless act, but he still kept to his promise of sparing the lives of those who disarmed him. However, there were only a few dozen captives who were brought back to the formation. There was no gain at all.
Wudrick was not in a hurry to order his troops to continue the pursuit. Although the enemy was at a disadvantage, it was still far from complete collapse. Choosing to retreat at this time clearly meant that he had a backup plan. When he thought about how Mason had not appeared, Wudrick was even more unwilling to attack rashly. He ordered the army to retreat to the rear to rest and set up camp. At the same time, he sent out a unit to demolish the town walls and arrow towers so that the next attack would be able to reach the root of the problem.
The battle was temporarily over, and Allen led the assault team back to the camp. Their accomplishments were very dazzling. More than a dozen enemy experts had died under their hands, as well as the lives of hundreds of cavalry. For this, Wudrick naturally recorded their contributions. The Golden Scorpion Swordsmen were still excited. Apart from being able to fight alongside an expert like Allen, these warriors who pursued glory were extremely excited. What was even more rare was that none of them had died in battle. One had to know that in a battle of thousands of people, it was very difficult for no one to die unless they were top-notch experts.
And all of this was thanks to the ten Steel Blade Warriors. Many fatal attacks from the enemy were directly blocked by the Steel Blade Warriors with their bodies. If not for this, the Golden Scorpion Swordsmen would have definitely suffered losses after the battle. As a result, the Golden Scorpion Swordsmen were filled with curiosity towards the powerful warriors hidden in the cloaks. Other than admiration towards Allen, they also felt a little more grateful.
It was said that it was easiest to cultivate friendship on the battlefield. After all, these feelings were cultivated in life and death situations. They were firmer and more lasting than other methods. The Golden Scorpion Swordsmen were the backbone of the Boleyn family's military group. Winning their friendship was equivalent to winning the goodwill of half of the Boleyn family.
Night fell.
Woodrick stood on a high ground and looked at the brightly lit town on the other side. Allen walked to his side and coughed softly to attract the attention of the Grand General. Woodrick narrowed his eyes and said, "Earl Allen, what do you think?"
Allen knew that he was referring to the sudden retreat of the enemy during the day and said without hesitation, "I'm afraid it's a strategy to show weakness to the enemy so that he can lure the enemy deeper, right?"
"I think so too." Woodrick said in a low voice, "Mason is a terrifying opponent. His terror is not only in his personal combat strength, but also in other aspects." Our former Duke was a learned and versatile man. Apart from swordsmanship Origin Energy, he had dabbled in art, military, and national management. If we underestimate him, we will suffer the consequences. "
"If I were Mason, I would plant a lot of explosives in that town. If we could lure the enemy deeper, as long as we detonated the explosives, it would save us a lot of trouble. Don't forget, if we want to force our way into Blazing Flames Castle, we have to pass through this town. " Allen looked at the fire on the other side of the night and said, "And blowing up the town, apart from killing and injuring the enemy on a large scale, can also create obstacles that greatly reduce our speed of advancement."
Woodrick frowned, "What does Earl Allen mean?"
"I mean, Mason must be hiding some trump card. Just because we can't see through it doesn't mean we don't have it." Allen said solemnly, "General, you should have noticed that the defenders of Parker and Sharp Stone Cities have chosen to evacuate. Where did they go? In short, the number should be more than what we saw, right? "
