#242 - 233: The war is about to begin (1800 monthly tickets last month plus more)

Frost Moon Canyon,

War Fortress Ruins, temporary command post.

Loye finally breathed a sigh of relief after learning the specific battle situation of Siren Harbor from the third-tier mage, Walter Clark.

Frost Moon Canyon cannot be lost, and Siren Harbor is even more crucial; both are the lifeblood of the Raymond family.

Otherwise, Earl Karl Raymond would not have directly assigned the two great knights of the Lion Knights to the two locations respectively.

Seeing that the mage Walter had stopped speaking, Grand Knight Alfonso Zeke couldn't help but step forward, he said: "Earl, do you think we should transfer some more manpower to Siren Harbor?"

Loye looked at him and asked, "Does Flower Collar have any extra knights?"

"There are no more knights, but some militiamen can still be transferred to Siren Harbor.

At least, it can give Grand Knight Thor more troops at his disposal."

"But now is the harvest season, if we really do as you say, I'm afraid it will delay the autumn harvest.

Being poor is no big deal if we don't make money, but it's a big problem if we don't have food!"

"This…"

Alfonso wanted to mention 'grain reserves,' but thinking about Loye's previous policies, he was afraid that most of it had been consumed.

Loye waved his hand and said, "Pirates are troublesome, but in the end, they are just a minor nuisance.

Moreover, I have some other arrangements, whether they can work or not, it will be these few days!

If it works, I would like to know what the pirates' reaction will be?"

Vincent Ackerman couldn't help but ask when he saw Loye speaking so confidently, "Earl, can you tell us the details?"

"You'll know when the time comes, it's useless to say more now!"

After a pause, Loye added, "Alright, everyone, instead of worrying about things far away, it's better to solve the war that's close at hand."

"There are not many days left until the end of the truce, and Duke Carlisle is eyeing us from behind the Wick family.

I will now assign specific tasks!"

"Knight Alfonso!"

"Here!"

"You are the vice-captain of the Lion Knights, the most suitable person to lead troops besides me.

My order to you is to guard Frost Moon Canyon, Knight Vincent Ackerman will cooperate with you.

Note that I am not putting you at the rear of the battlefield, but rather, this may be the most dangerous place."

"Understood!"

"Mage Walter, how is the training of the people you brought? The key to victory in this battle may be with you…"

"…"

"…………"

"Cody Isaac, Jarr Turner, Bill Dean, and Tania Anderson, prepare the Knights, this battle against the Wick family's Knights is…"

"…………"

……

While Loye was arranging countermeasures, on the other side, in the Wick family's military camp, in that inconspicuous tent, Duke Carlisle was also handling affairs.

The magic mirror was activated again, forming a vortex in the middle, and a letter was spat out from it.

Duke Carlisle took it and looked at it, and couldn't help but get angry: "Pirate King? Pirate King?!

He can't even take Siren Harbor, and he calls himself a 'King'? These pirates are really getting more and more incompetent!"

Mage Timo did say a truth: "I have dealt with that Ms. Palacios a few times, she is an extremely powerful fourth-tier Calamity Mage, specializing in water magic and potion science.

With the help of the magic energy reserves of the magic tower, to be honest, it's normal for those pirates not to get any advantage!"

Duke Carlisle hadn't been refuted so directly for a long time, his face was flushed, and his fat face was even more hideous.

But the person in front of him was a fourth-tier Calamity Mage, and he couldn't scold or beat him, so he could only grit his teeth.

Seeing this, the Pale Knight hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Actually, this is also good, if those pirates really landed, the damage caused, now it seems to be the Raymond family's.

But when our goal is achieved, it will all be our loss!"

"Now, being able to contain a Calamity Mage, a Grand Knight, and cut off the Raymond family's sea route is also excellent!"

"That's true!"

Duke Carlisle took the opportunity to step down, finally not suffocating to death.

At this moment, in the magic mirror, another vortex flickered, and even spat out two letters in a row.

Duke Carlisle couldn't wait to take them, opened them, and just glanced at them, then grinned.

"The Castro family and the McKinley family both have news, it won't be long, it really won't be long!"

……

Time flies,

In the blink of an eye, the fifteen-day truce passed.

On this day, the sun was high, the sun was shining, and the warm wind was gentle, it was a good time to enjoy sunbathing.

But east of Frost Moon Canyon, on the wilderness plains, banners fluttered, and murderous aura filled the air.

The sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, the swords and swords unsheathed shone with cold light, and the sound of drums shook the heavens and the earth, making people's blood boil.

The two sides of the war began to arrange their troops on this plain.

Loye stood at the forefront, on both sides of him, four extraordinary knights each led eighty official knights, and about two hundred knight attendants, forming a charge formation.

The first row was all dragon spear knights, holding high the dragon spears pointing straight ahead, the flashing cold light showed their sharpness.

The second row was all using knight greatswords, the blade was opened in half, and the lower half could be held directly by hand.

This is a cross sword technique unique to the Raymond family, which must be used with this special knight greatsword to exert its full power.

As for after the second row, there are various weapons!

Knight swordsmanship is a standard skill, almost every knight will learn it.

However, not everyone likes to use swords, especially some knights who are born with great strength, but prefer heavy weapons such as battle axes, war hammers, and maces.

After the charge, in close combat, the armor-piercing effect of these weapons is much better than that of knight greatswords.

After all, one hammer down, just the shock is not something ordinary people can withstand.

The newest novel is first published on Six/Nine/Book/Bar!

Behind the knight camp is the militia team.

Two thousand militiamen were formed into a square formation, with spears several meters long held flat or diagonally upwards, until the entire formation was like a hedgehog.

This is the best way to defend against cavalry charges, if the soldiers are of good enough quality and have the will to fight to the death, even the Knights will have to be defeated and suffer heavy losses!

This is historically recorded, but unfortunately, most spear formations just look good, facing a knight charge head-on is going to kill people, so they run faster than anyone!

Of course, this square formation is not only spearmen, but also shield and sword warriors behind.

Not professionals, just literally one hand holding a shield for defense, and the other hand stabbing with a short sword.

If the distance is really close, and the two sides are squeezed together, these short weapons will come into play.

Through the gaps, people or horses can be stabbed with countless holes.

Further into the middle, there is a batch of archers.

They use longbows, longbows taller than people, the academic name is Sardinian longbow, originating from the Kingdom of Sardinia.

Each time it is used, the entire body must be used to draw the bow and arrow, the characteristic is that it is good at parabolic shooting, long range, and great lethality!

In those years, the Kingdom of Sardinia relied on gathering six thousand archers to destroy a knight of the Bonaparte Empire, so it was eagerly learned by other countries!

This team is considered a guarantee, just blocking the mountain pass entrance.

If Loye is defeated, they will have to stand in front to buy time for the Knights to reorganize their teams.

If Loye wins, they will step forward step by step, constantly pressing forward, clearing the battlefield, killing or capturing the remaining enemies.

These are not Loye's abilities, but the suggestion of Grand Knight Alfonso!

Under normal circumstances, they just fight like this, the knowledge accumulated over thousands of years.

Anyway, it's not the same as the war in Loye's mind.

On the opposite side, the Wick family actually put up a similar formation.

However, in Loye's eyes, their militia training is very poor, gathered together, messy, spears are crooked, and there is no deterrent force.

They have quite a few knights, and as many as five extraordinary ones, but unfortunately, one has a broken arm, and one's breath is weak.

As for Earl Wick at the forefront, not to mention, compared to the heroic Loye, he is just a fat old man!

Before the war, the two sides also had a face-to-face exchange.

Loye drove his horse forward, and so did Earl Wick, after the two sides got closer, according to the usual practice, they each released their mouths.

Bragging about their own strength, despising the other side's weakness.

It's a pity that Loye didn't have the mind to waste that verbal advantage.

Although Earl Wick was unforgiving in his mouth, the silent lip shapes were all begging for mercy, hoping that Loye could kill fewer people.

After the mouth cannon, they each returned to their respective camps to prepare for the war.

In fact, there is nothing fancy, and no attention is paid to strategy, that is, when the horns sound and the wailing sound resounds through the heavens and the earth, the war starts directly.

The Wick family still has powerful people, an extraordinary knight bloomed with fiery red fighting spirit, driving a monster similar to a elk under his seat, spreading the knight halo.

His strength alone is certainly not enough, but he cooperates with the other four extraordinary knights.

Until the colorful knight halos enveloped the entire Knights, that is, the peak of the Wick Knights' strength!

Unfortunately, in comparison, Loye's side is much more fierce.

Although the fighting spirit of the four extraordinary ones has its own characteristics, when Loye's golden red fighting spirit explodes, it has already covered all of them.

Loye is not a knight, and can't use the knight halo, but with the power of [Lion King Duke] activated, he borrowed the knight halos of the four to achieve the same effect.

Then, Loye erased all the timidity and fear, leaving only infinite courage rising in his heart,

Until finally, he finally drew out his dawn rapier and held it in front of his eyes!

"Lion Knights, follow me to charge!!!"

Not too loud a voice, but it resounded in the hearts of everyone in the entire Knights.

So, everyone made the same action, driving their horses, raising their weapons, and roaring out.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

At this point, the war is about to break out!
