The battle formation gradually appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
The Brittany's army was divided into three parts. The left wing was led by the Holy Grail Knight Eisen, with two serf longbow battalions at the front. Eisen himself led 300 knights and 700 squires at the back of the left wing. In the middle was a large group of serf soldiers. These serf conscripts were carefully selected by Duke Lyonasser. They held spears, swords, and shields in their hands and formed a tight formation.
The right wing was led by 500 knights and 2,000 cavalrymen, with a large group of infantry at the front. Ulles and the five Holy Grail Knights, the Lake Prophet Annala, and Count Garament were also with him.
The most elite 3,000 knights and 5,000 squires were at the front of the formation. Behind the large group of knights was an elite infantry regiment made up entirely of sergeants. Duke Dalhead was in the middle of the army.
His son, Aldrid, led 1,000 reserves and was at the back of the army.
Compared to the Brittany's army, the barbarians did not split up at all. Under the command of Egil, the barbarians formed several huge square formations and formed a tight shield wall, ready to welcome the charge of the knights.
The ferocious barbarians used shields to form a strong formation, but this could not cover up their crude equipment and messy troops. The entire shield wall was uneven, and there were even many holes that could be seen with the naked eye.
"Humph! The northern barbarians live in the wasteland. It's already impressive that they can stand in such a formation, "Dalhead said disdainfully as he looked at the barbarians' messy formation.
"My Duke, the knights are ready, but if we charge into the barbarian formation like this, the knights will suffer great losses," said Earl Ryan. He rode on his horse and looked at the barbarian formation. He said to Dalhead, "We should let the archers get closer first."
The army of knights approached slowly, but the barbarians were as firm as a rock.
The large group of archers formed a loose formation and gradually approached the barbarians' formation. The barbarians did not react at all. They were still standing in the same place.
Duke Dalhead nodded to Earl Ryan, who rode forward and waved his hand. "Fire!"
The left wing of the Holy Grail Knight Eisen also slowly approached. Under the command of the archers, they shot arrows at the barbarian army. Meanwhile, Uhles, who was on the right wing, signaled his army not to move. They had to be prepared for the barbarians' counterattack at any time.
At this time, the narrow Nanz Plains were covered in large chunks of snow, and many forests and mountains were covered in white snow.
The archers shot arrows at the barbarian army. A dense rain of arrows poured down from the sky and landed in the barbarian army.
"Ugh ~" Many barbarians were hit by the arrows and let out cries of pain. The formation began to shake. A barbarian chieftain stood in the middle of the formation and raised his battle axe. "Don't move! Nobody move! "
The barbarians, who were poorly equipped, were constantly killed by the arrows. Most of the barbarians only wore simple leather armor and used ordinary shields to block the arrows. The small round shields were mainly used for close combat and could not effectively block the arrows.
Of course, the barbarians were not willing to be beaten for nothing. Many of the axe-throwers and spear-throwers used spears and flying axes to fight back. The serf archers were hit hard. Most of these archers were only wearing thin clothes and were shivering in the cold. Once they were attacked, almost all of them died on the spot.
Dalhead was indifferent to this. The duke himself waved his hand and signaled the knights to get ready.
The horses neighed and the horses' hooves slid on the ground. The knights lined up in several rows and were ready.
After three rounds of arrows, many of the serf archers were frozen stiff. The exchange of arrows with the barbarians also caused the serf archers to suffer heavy losses. Many of the thin and weak serfs were already very tired in the snow.
The barbarians' formation also began to shake because of the three rounds of arrows.
"Here's our chance! Knights! For the lady! For Brittany! Advance!!! "Dalhead raised his lance and bellowed furiously.
"Advance!" Close to ten thousand heavy cavalry troops began to move. They began to move slowly until they charged.
Dalhead took a deep breath. The duke closed his eyes and began to listen to the sounds on the battlefield.
It was the sound of snow covering the battlefield. It was the sound of horses' hooves trampling on the plains. It was the heavy breathing of the barbarians. It was the sound of the Brittany and the northern barbarians entering the battlefield.
That was the sound of war!
The duke himself held the Lion Lance left behind by the first Grail Knight, the first Duke of Lyonasse. He listened to the angry roars of the knights.
Scalins, Egil, the pain you brought to Lyonasse, the pain you brought to Lyonasse, today I will let you taste the anger of the Brittany!
"All troops! Advance! " The white flag of Sirloff fluttered in the air. The Brittany knights rolled across the plains like rolling thunder and charged towards the barbarians with unparalleled anger. "There is only one goal, and that is Egil's head!"
"Advance!" The knights rushed across the field like a raging storm. They didn't even look back as they charged towards the first formation of the barbarian army. These disorganized barbarians, whose morale had dropped, tried their best to raise their shields and resist the charge of the invincible knights.
The Brittany knights quickly showed the northern barbarians the power of the strongest knights in the old world. When the first champion knight charged into the barbarian formation and pierced the barbarian's chest with his lance, the knights rushed into the barbarian formation like a flood.
"Fight!"
"Advance!"
"For the lady!"
"Kacha kacha!" The sound of spears breaking rang out from the first formation of the barbarian army. Hundreds and thousands of barbarians were killed on the spot under the impact of the knights. The rest of the barbarians were crushed by the powerful impact of the knights, and the barbarians fell down in droves.
"This is the revenge of Lyonasse!" Rene, who was charging, roared. He threw away the broken lance and pulled out a sharp sword from his waist. Then he shouted, "Don't stop, continue to charge forward!"
"Advance!" The knights shouted. They brought death to the barbarians.
However, the barbarians were not afraid. Although they were attacked by the knights, and many of them were kicked in the head by the warhorses and flew into the sky, the rest of the barbarians gathered around the knights like ants. They waved their battle axes and tried their best to delay the knights' charge.
The knights' charge was destructive, but when the barbarians' morale was not affected by the knights' charge, the number of barbarians was no longer a problem. Almost every barbarian gathered around the knights like crazy and shouted the slogan of the four gods of chaos.
This might be one of the few opportunities for them to be watched by the evil gods. The barbarians were not afraid of death, but they were afraid of dying without a name.
Earl Rene quickly realized the barbarians' plan.
The knights began to change their formation. They could not be entangled with the barbarians anymore. They had to continue their charge.
Otherwise, once they lost their momentum, the knights would lose their advantage.
In the middle of the barbarian army, Egil looked at the knights rushing towards him. The king of Skalinth revealed a bloodthirsty smile. He turned to the Chaos Dwarf Lord Zumalar and said, "Fire."
Zumalar smiled cruelly and said, "Since you want to fire, then fire."
"Release the one that is ready!" Egil then said to his adopted son, the Chaos Wizard Chakoi.
Chakoi bent down and said, "Release!"
Hundreds of Chaos War Hounds were released under the command of the Chaos Sorcerer. They charged towards the first formation of the Barbarian Army.
The Chaos War Hounds, whose faces were full of warts and warts, were released from their cages. These war hounds rushed in front of the knights like crazy. Their short bodies nimbly dodged the knights' lances.
The target of these war hounds was not the knights on the warhorses. They attacked the warhorses directly.
"Ahhh!" A knight's warhorse was attacked by a war hound. After the warhorse was frightened, it raised its front hooves high and fell down. The knight was also attacked and fell off his horse. A few barbarian warriors rushed up and killed the knight with a few blows of their axes.
Attacked by the war hounds and tightly entangled by the barbarian army, the first wave of knights was in trouble.
Dahlheimer immediately realized that the knights' charge was in trouble. He immediately signaled to the Holy Grail Knight Eisen and said, "Continue the attack!"
"Knights! Follow me! "Seeing this, the Holy Grail Knight Eisen led the rest of the knights and rushed into the barbarian army.
This time, the first line of barbarians, who were under great pressure, began to collapse. The Holy Grail Knight Eisen rode on his elven warhorse. The blade in his hand flew up and down. A large group of barbarians was slaughtered by the Holy Grail Knight. In front of the Holy Grail Knight, the bravery that the barbarians were proud of was shattered.
"I am the chief of the Barde tribe, Basil, Holy Grail Knight. What is your name?" A barbarian champion raised his axe and challenged the Holy Grail Knight Eisen.
"I am the Holy Grail Knight Eisen." The Holy Grail Knight Eisen waved his sword and cut two chaos war hounds in half.
"I am right here. Are you willing to take my head?"
"Of course!"
Three minutes later, as the chief of the barbarian army was killed by the Holy Grail Knight Eisen, the first line of barbarians finally began to collapse.
At this time, two crimson beams of light appeared in the gray sky.
In the middle of the barbarian army, Egil sneered at the battlefield.
The first line of barbarians was a delicious bait. The first line of barbarians was made up of the old and weak barbarians and some barbarian warriors from small tribes. Egil did not care about these people.
Now, the Chaos Hell Cannon was making a loud noise. Groups of crying serfs were stuffed into the red barrel of the cannon and turned into cannonballs.
After devouring a large amount of human flesh and souls, the demon sealed in the Chaos Hell Cannon let out a satisfied sound. Then, just like what everyone on the battlefield saw, two crimson beams of light rose into the sky and then fell towards the first line of barbarians who were in the middle of a chaotic battle.
The demon's fury exploded in the barbarian army without distinguishing between friend and foe.
This explosion directly hit hundreds of knights and thousands of barbarians. Their armors were directly melted by the demonic flames of the Chaos Hell Cannon. Then, their bodies exploded along with the huge explosion. Their blood turned into boiling sewage, boiling together with the molten iron on the spot.
"Are the barbarians crazy?" Dalhead was shocked by the change in front of him. The duke himself opened his mouth wide. "They are even killing their own people?"
Egil revealed a cruel smile.
The barbarians began to slowly retreat. In order to avenge their companions, the knights who were in a frenzy killed their way into the center of the barbarian army. They had no intention of regrouping. After the first line of barbarians was completely defeated, what appeared in front of them were thousands of barbarian warriors and Chaos Warriors.
These Chaos Warriors and barbarian warriors were the core of Egil's army!
This was Egil's plan. The plan to torture the Chosen One was to sacrifice part of the army and let the first line of barbarians be surrounded and annihilated by the knights. This tactic was very simple. Egil wanted to use the blood and heads of these Brittany knights to celebrate the birthday of his son who was about to be born!
The barbarian army surrounded the knights from all directions. Dalhead and Uhles were shocked when they saw this.
"Advance!" Uhles immediately led the remaining few knights and infantry to support the barbarians.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred. Suddenly, a large group of Chaos Warriors rushed out of the snow piles and the snow-covered ground. These thousands of Chaos Warriors were all made up of Chaos Warriors who had fallen into madness and gray-haired barbarians. They waved their battle axes with all their might and longed for a glorious death.
These people had been lying in ambush in the snow piles and snow for hours. Only the barbarians who had undergone the mutation of Chaos and were extremely resistant to the cold could do this.
The barbarian warriors cut off the connection between the knights and the infantrymen. The weak Brittanian infantrymen were quickly massacred. In front of the brave barbarian warriors, the infantrymen were forced to retreat while the knights were besieged by Egil's army.
The battle was beginning to tilt in Scalins' favor.
At this time, Egil looked at the knights who were in trouble. Although the Brittany knights were besieged, their pride and training meant that they were still able to put up a strong resistance. Even Egil's most elite barbarian army of more than ten thousand could not hold them back.
The barbarian army that was slaughtering the infantry had also encountered a strong enemy. The leader of the Holy Grail Knights, Uhles, was leading his own army into the battlefield. Encouraged by the Holy Grail Knights, the infantry stopped collapsing and began to regroup.
The balance of the battlefield shifted left and right. No one knew who would be the first to collapse.
"Strategy is useless now." Egil stood up from his black skull throne. He picked up his pair of hellish battle axes, Gammu and Gaumu, and walked towards the battlefield. "Charge!"
Behind him, the Chaos Mammoths appeared on the battlefield. The mammoths that were more than ten meters tall strode into the battlefield. The eyes of these towering beasts were burning with anger that was instilled by the God of Darkness. They trampled on everything in their path, including the knights and the barbarian soldiers, as if they were stepping on grass.
This war was beginning to heat up.
