When the Fire Velvet Army realized that the Blood Cavalry was nearby, the Blood Cavalry also discovered the location of the Fire Velvet Army.
Before the two armies clashed, their respective sentinel cavalry had already launched a brutal battle.
But obviously, the sentinel cavalry of the Blood Cavalry had the obvious upper hand, and killed the sentinel cavalry of the Fire Velvet Army.
Later on, Earl Brugan did not dare to send out the sentinel cavalry to scout the surrounding situation anymore.
In terms of individual bravery and cooperation in small-scale battles, the Fire Velvet Army could not compare to the Blood Cavalry, who had been fighting with trolls on the Sky Ice Field for many years.
If the sentinel cavalry could not be sent out, the Fire Velvet Army was no different from a blind man.
They only knew that the enemy was nearby, but they did not know in which direction, when and where the enemy would suddenly launch an attack on them.
The fear of the unknown was the most torturous.
The Earl Of Avon, who had not experienced much battle, was already a little flustered. Fortunately, Earl Brugan did not panic.
No matter how powerful the Blood Cavalry was, their main force was not here.
The Fire Velvet Army still had an absolute advantage in terms of military strength.
This advantage allowed Earl Brugan to remain calm, and he calmly issued orders, commanding the Fire Velvet Army to get into a defensive formation. At the same time, he did not forget to smile and comfort his son-in-law beside him.
"Don't be nervous, I don't know what Colin Angele is thinking. He actually chose to escape to the south, but if he really dares to attack the Fire Velvet Army's formation with only 3,000 cavalrymen in his hands, I will definitely make sure he doesn't return!"
The Earl Of Avon looked at the Fire Velvet Army's orderly and distinct military formation, and his heart began to calm down.
He smiled and replied, "Father-in-law, do you think Colin Angele is bluffing?"
"Bluffing?"
"That's right." After the Earl Of Avon calmed down, his mind returned to normal. "When he saw that the Fire Velvet Army's formation was watertight, would he deliberately leave a part of the sentinel cavalry to cover our eyes and ears? In fact, he has already led his army past us and continued south to attack the Fire Velvet City?"
"Attack the Fire Velvet City?"
"That's right!" The Earl Of Avon's expression changed, and he said seriously, "The Fire Velvet Army has all been brought out by us. Isn't the Fire Velvet City now extremely empty? No wonder, no wonder the Bloody Cavalry chose to break through to the south! They want to lure the Fire Velvet Army out, then bypass the Fire Velvet Army and directly attack Fire Velvet City! "
"That's possible." Count Bruggen nodded, but then laughed disdainfully. "How could Tinder City be so easily breached? Although the Fire Velvet Army had been brought out by me, there were still tens of thousands of guards in the city. Relying on the sturdy and tall city walls, it wouldn't be a problem to block the attack of three thousand Blood Cavalry.
When Colin suffers a setback at the foot of Tinder City, we will lead the army back and surround them from the front and back. We will definitely bury this Bloody Cavalry completely at the foot of Mount Alcis! "
The Earl Of Avon heaved a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to praise his father-in-law, he heard the sound of galloping horses approaching.
Tap, tap, tap …
Count Brugan's expression changed and he immediately shouted, "Get into formation! Meet the enemy! "
In fact, there was no need for him to give the order. When the soldiers of the Fire Velvet Army saw the oncoming cavalry, they were already nervous.
A circle of huge shields was erected on the periphery, turning the entire army formation of the Fire Velvet Army into a tortoise shell in an instant.
The long spears that pierced through the gaps of the huge shields made this tortoise shell look particularly ferocious.
This was the best way for infantry to deal with cavalry in the wild — a phalanx of shields and spears.
As the Bloody Cavalry approached, the Earl Of Avon unconsciously held his breath.
He just thought that he had guessed Colin's idea, but reality gave him a hard slap in the face.
The Bloody Cavalry did not bypass the Fire Velvet Army to attack Tinder City, and it seemed that they intended to storm the Fire Velvet Army's army formation?
But soon, the Earl Of Avon found that he had guessed wrong again.
At least, this cavalry troop of close to a thousand people was not here to charge into the battle formation. The previous charge seemed fierce, stirring up a lot of dust and creating a lot of momentum, but they suddenly pulled the reins in the safe zone outside the battle formation of the Fire Velvet Army.
Then, as they turned their horses' heads, they drew their bows and began to shoot.
The dense arrows fell like a rainstorm, and the phalanx of the Fire Velvet Army was in a commotion.
But in fact, because of the protection of shields and the complete armor of the Fire Velvet Army, the arrow rain did not cause much damage.
But this Bloody Cavalry team of about a thousand people rushed back and still kept a safe distance to launch projectile shots.
The archers of the Fire Velvet Army also began to fight back, but the target moving at high speed was obviously more difficult to hit, so the casualties of both sides were very sporadic.
But this kind of counterattack still had to be carried out. Otherwise, if they were beaten without fighting back, the morale of the army would soon decline, and the psychological pressure of the soldiers would also rise.
The Earl Of Avon looked at the Bloody Cavalry going back and forth, and saw that they were not as horrible as he had imagined. He was relieved and could not help but laugh.
"It seems that the Bloody Cavalry is just so-so."
Earl Brugen glanced at him and knew that he had not been on the battlefield much, so he patiently explained, "They are testing."
"Testing?"
"Yes. Just like an experienced hunter, they are looking for the weakness of their prey, and when they find it … they will launch a thunderous attack! "
The Earl Of Avon looked serious, but he still pretended to be relaxed and laughed. "But in the face of the Fire Velvet Army's phalanx of giant shields and spears, even the Bloody Cavalry can't do anything, right?"
Earl Brugen did not answer.
The layman watched the show, while the expert watched the skill.
Just these few rounds of probing attacks launched by the Bloody Cavalry, Earl Brugen already knew that the other party could indeed be called the strongest cavalry he had ever seen in his life!
No wonder they could defeat the trolls in the Firmament Ice Field.
In fact, since the Sky Horse Troop was completely wiped out in Silvermoon City, the nobles of the Eastern Region had been paying 120% attention to this terrifying cavalry of the Northern Frontier.
And the Fire Velvet Army, as the "strongest army in the Eastern Region," immediately made how to deal with the cavalry, or rather, how to deal with the Bloody Cavalry, the first priority of their daily training.
But no matter how targeted the training, no matter how well prepared Earl Brugen was, when he really faced the Bloody Cavalry on the battlefield, he finally felt this kind of substantial pressure.
Even if the other party had not started the most explosive charge, Earl Brugen was already beginning to worry whether the phalanx of the Fire Velvet Army could withstand the impact of the Bloody Cavalry.
Feeling the oppressive atmosphere, the Earl Of Avon also tactfully shut his mouth.
Not long after, the Bloody Cavalry that was hovering around the Fire Velvet Army suddenly went far away, and the battlefield returned to peace for a moment.
This made many of the Fire Velvet Army soldiers feel particularly uncomfortable.
"Is it over?" The Earl Of Avon asked doubtfully.
Earl Brugen's expression was extremely stagnant. He slowly shook his head and said in a deep voice.
"No. The real battle has just begun! "
