On the morning of November 6, it rained heavily.

In the fierce plain wind, the rain stars swept past like a brush, as if searching for something on the ground. Dews darted here and there, a shining red flash, like peeling off a piece of black cloud. Revealing a large blood-like cloud,

The soldiers maintained their formation in the rain, but the commotion still appeared silently. As if they felt something, someone in the front line whispered softly,

"Tap" the sound of horse hooves came from far and near. Several cavalrymen followed a cavalry general and galloped from the rolling hills in the southeast.

"Your Majesty, the Redians have approached Staros Fortress." Hu Keqili wiped the rain off his face with his hands. Regardless of the mud all over his body, he turned over beautifully from his horse and took the reins of the horse in his hand. He handed it to the guard and hurriedly ran up from a few meters away.

The expression on his face is both excited and a little worried. This time the opponent is the Ruildian Army with a strength of 300,000. No matter how you look at it, it is not something that people feel very confident about.

But this battle is destined to be recorded in the annals of history. This is an opportunity that any soldier who regards glory as his life can expect in his life. Victory or failure is no longer important. Being able to experience this magnificent battle is the most important thing. The most exciting thing is to win a battle and destroy the country. What kind of courage is this!

"Are they all here?"

The fat man comforted the war horse on his crotch with his hands. His face seemed a little absent-minded. He didn't look back. He seemed to already know the answer. His eyes were still looking at the white rain curtain floating in the air with the wind.

Like all the other soldiers, he didn't even wear a rain-proof cloak this time. He exposed himself without any protection to the attention of tens of thousands of troops, standing under the falcon battle flag at the center of the legion. Down. 4∴8065

The fat man looked up at the sky, and large drops of cold rain hit his face, waking him up. He looked at his subordinates. On the green grass at his feet, the thirty-three thousand people of the Falcon Central Corps were scattered into a slightly irregular quadrilateral.

The neatly arranged armors and spears are as far as the eye can see. The rain soaked the helmets, entered through the gaps in the cold helmets, and flowed down from the soldiers' resolute and upright figures.

No one made a sound, only the sound of raindrops splashing on the iron plates of the armor.

Under the black iron helmet, there are faces that are darkened by the rain and sunburned by the rain, and under the brim of the hat are eyes that are slightly sinister due to fatigue.

After running back and forth all night, with only less than three hours of rest, even if the willpower is strong, physical fatigue is inevitable, but what the fat man saw was unwavering expectation, loyalty, trust, and enthusiasm.

The silent momentum of the tens of thousands of troops was like a sharp sword that had been washed in the pouring rain. As long as he gave the order, they would immediately tear into pieces any target that stood in front of them, regardless of the cost.

Ten minutes have passed, twenty minutes have passed,

The rain was still pouring down, and time passed in silence. The horses in the front row were kicking the ground uneasily and screaming softly. Even they were suppressed by the murderous aura bred in the silence.

"Yes, all"

Hu Keqili's face was filled with excitement that could not be concealed. "The forward number alone reached 80,000, and the troops that followed were as many as 120,000. As His Majesty expected, in the face of absolute interests, any Enemies can be turned into allies. Palavon and the crusade army secretly reached a unanimous decision to fight against our army. If we had not been prepared in advance to seize the six southern cities and build a line of defense in front of the opponent, we would have been afraid. I don’t even know how I died.”

"The forward alone is an army of 80,000 people. They really want to kill us all at once!" The fat man listened to the numbers reported by Hu Keqili, with a cruel sneer on his lips, and sternly ordered, "Tell Salon, no. We need to preserve our strength and fight head-on!”

The Ruidian people finally couldn't bear it anymore. The Nord army's rapid defeat undoubtedly stimulated the Ruidian people who had been waiting for an opportunity in the direction of Palaven to take advantage of the situation when both the Falcon Dynasty and the Nord people were harmed. Erdian people,

Although there was no clear alliance with the Nords, the Nord army's march north undoubtedly gave the Redian royal family, which had been hoping to rise again, a glimmer of hope.

For this reason, the six southern cities were sacrificed just to bring the Falcon Army into a direct confrontation with the Nords. If the Nords were defeated, the Palavon Plains would be completely surrounded by the Falcon Dynasty army. an isolated island,

The Redians finally couldn't wait any longer. This was a gamble with the kingdom as a bet. There was only one chance to place the bet. A rare battle took place in the Anse Valley in the central and southern part of Palaven.

At noon, the heavy rain turned into fine and flying raindrops. The relatively low-lying Staros Fortress was located in a swampy valley. It became muddy and difficult to walk because of the rain.

Rui Erdian's 80,000 forwards were delayed for more than an hour before they appeared in the white rain and fog.

The one-eyed dragon Salon stood on the top of Staros Fortress, and saw heads clustered in the white rain in the distance. Thousands of troops and horses emerged from the mist, and their heads were so densely packed that they could not be counted. Following the loud command, the neat infantry team lined up. The feet of thousands of soldiers were raised and landed at the same time. The steps were uniform and the distance spanned was as neat as measured by a ruler.

Boom, boom, boom! "With the rhythmic and orderly footsteps, even the walls of Anse Fortress were trembling, spears were like a forest, the armors on the Ruidian soldiers were white in the rain, and the oppressive force of tens of millions of people came towards them.

On both wings of the infantry phalanx, the cavalry advanced in skirmish lines. The cavalry group quickly crossed the infantry phalanx and surged through the fortress for a distance of 1,500 meters. There was no response from the fortress. Compared to the loud noise over there, there is deathly silence here.

The unfathomable and mysterious feeling made people feel pressured and even more frightened. The cavalrymen who were responsible for the investigation in front of them couldn't help but vomit and stopped to watch.

The captains of the Ruidian squadron yelled with all their strength, "Anyone who retreats before the battle will be killed. If Staros is captured, each of them will be rewarded with a gold coin!"

At this moment, he heard a strange "buzzing" sound.

"Attack!" A sly smile suddenly appeared on Saron's expressionless face. These Reedians are so cute. Don't they know that fortresses like Staros, which have large trebuchets, are good at long-range attacks? What a terrifying existence it means in the hands of the Falcon Army. At this moment, with the sound of the tight rope being cut, the violent roar completely covered up the original sound.

The sky suddenly darkened. One hundred and thirty-five heavy-duty repeating crossbow vehicles and fifteen thousand skilled crossbowmen who were waiting attentively fired at the same time.

The large clusters of arrows that hit were like a large black cloud, covering up the color of the sky.

, the dark clouds turned into raindrops in an instant, and metal waterfalls fell from the sky!

The powerful steel arrows of the ballista made the Ruildian army rushing in the front row feel as if they had been punched in the face by an invisible giant.

The entire row of soldiers was hit several times like a storm, and suddenly flew backwards for several meters, or even more than ten meters. Their bodies wearing heavy infantry armor were twisted into unnatural postures in mid-air, flipped over and shot. Became a hedgehog full of arrows.

The heavy-duty ballistae, which relies on powerful mechanical springs, is so powerful that it can pierce shields within three hundred meters and shoot twenty rows of arrows in an instant.

With the fame and fortune of the attack, "Puff! Puff! Puff" the entire Stros city wall was like a suddenly exploding volcano, with countless arrows covering the sky and the sun.

In this terrible metal storm, the flesh and blood body without the protection of armor and shield is as fragile as paper.

"Ah!" The Ruidian cavalry in the front row didn't even have time to shout "Help!", and even the man and his horse were crushed to pieces in an instant.

This is absolutely the worst nightmare.

Screams, moans, blood, death, exposed men and horses trampling each other, the sound of horse hooves, screams, arrows flying like locusts,

The sharp sound of arrows piercing the air filled the entire space that could be heard by human ears, driving the bravest warriors crazy. Arrows everywhere! arrow! arrow!

In the midst of lightning and flint, as if they were suddenly struck by violent lightning, the Ruidian troops in the front row fell on their backs.

Soldiers kept spraying blood and flying into the air, screaming and falling from their horses into the dust. The body was penetrated instantly,

The arrow shot the second person flying with bloody flowers; some people were even nailed to the ground.

Blood flowers bloomed in mid-air. The soldiers screamed and wailed, bumping into each other and huddled together, trampling on each other;

Someone lay down to avoid it, but the panicked horse stepped on the back of his head, causing his brains to fly. The cavalry keeps falling,

The short and sharp screams of horror on the verge of death, the war horses injured by arrows rolling on the ground, and the long neighing sounds are inhumane.

Seeing this, the cavalrymen in the rear row immediately became frightened. Some tried to turn their horses' heads, but were immediately shot dead by the law enforcement team behind them.

Under military orders, cold and ruthless

rush! rush! Even if one of them dies, they will be rushed to me! "Second Prince Harauskos stood on his own to supervise the battle and personally supervised the battle. He shouted at the top of his lungs, his eyes already filled with bloodshot eyes.

\u0026n♦※bsp; He was so cold-blooded on the city wall of Palaven that he made the crusade outside the city unsuccessful several times. Under the cold-blooded military order, the 5,000 infantrymen of the Second Phalanx blocked their shields in front of them. , shouting loudly and charging.

Just listening to the orders of the Ruidian squadron captains, the shield bearers lined up in rows and raised the shields in their hands high above their heads.

In the blink of an eye, a huge steel square appeared.

The shields all over the mountains and plains reflect the dazzling sunlight, like large bright strips of light.

Ten thousand infantrymen shouted and charged. They bent down and rushed quickly from below the fortress.
