Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

Under the Prince Legion's storm-like attacks, large swathes of the Third Legion's positions rapidly fell.

Although the soldiers fought bravely, their defenses were gradually breached in the face of the relentless enemy.

Amidst the raging flames of war, the Third Legion found itself in an unprecedented predicament, needing to adjust its tactics as quickly as possible, or else face the danger of complete annihilation.

Breuer sat in the command center, listening to his son Mario's detailed report on the battlefield situation with a solemn expression.

His eyes were fixed on the canyon map on the table, silently estimating the space his legion was being compressed into by the enemy.

As the Prince Legion continued its fierce offensive, their range of activity was rapidly shrinking, and the situation was precarious.

Breuer had already determined in his mind that Prince's strategic intention was very clear—they wanted to completely corner the Third Legion and then use legion-level area-of-effect magic to deliver a fatal blow.

Such tactics were both ruthless and effective, and once implemented, the Third Legion would likely be completely wiped out.

There was no more time to delay, he had to make a decision immediately.

Just as Breuer was about to order a full breakout, Duffie rushed into the command center with a face full of joy, his voice trembling with excitement: "General, good news! Reinforcements have arrived!"

This news was like a ray of dawn, instantly dispelling the heavy atmosphere in the command center.

Breuer suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashing with the light of hope. He knew that the arrival of reinforcements meant they had a chance to turn the tables, and this arduous battle might finally usher in a turning point.

..................

Twenty kilometers outside Devil's Canyon, the Imperial First Army was advancing at an unprecedented speed. Their steps were firm, and their eyes revealed determination and courage.

Accompanying the army were five thousand adventurer rangers specially recruited by Sauron. These rangers were agile and experienced, and their mission was to conduct reconnaissance and infiltration, providing crucial intelligence and support to the army.

In the largest command vehicle of the army, Klement was quietly studying the detailed map of Devil's Canyon. His eyes were deep and sharp, as if he wanted to imprint every inch of land on the map in his mind.

This command vehicle was magnificent, ten meters long and four meters wide, like a mobile fortress. To pull this behemoth, it took twenty-four strong heavy draft horses working together to keep it moving steadily forward.

A normal-sized horse-drawn wagon slowly approached the massive command vehicle in the marching column. As the door of the horse-drawn wagon slowly opened with a "creak", a figure leaped out with agility, landing steadily on the command vehicle's wide boarding platform.

This platform was a full five or six square meters in size, designed to be very spacious, enough to accommodate a soldier standing guard.

"Seventh Prince!" The sentry on guard, seeing the face of the person who arrived, revealed a surprised expression, and then wanted to kneel down to salute.

"We are still marching, no need to be so formal!" Prince Sauron patted the sentry's shoulder kindly, indicating that he did not need to be so restrained. After speaking, he turned and entered the command vehicle.

Inside the vehicle, Commander Klement was concentrating on studying the map. Hearing the movement, he looked up and saw that it was Prince Sauron, and he immediately stood up to show his respect.

"Commander, the battle situation in Devil's Canyon is very critical now." Prince Sauron went straight to the point, "As far as I know, Prince Corin has already dispatched a mage corps to support them. In order to strengthen the offensive, I request the immediate dispatch of the Knights Corps and the Cavalry Corps to patrol in the direction of the mage corps, in order to contain the mage corps from casting large-scale magic."

Sauron's tone was firm and decisive, he knew the urgency of the battle situation and understood that only swift and decisive action could reverse the situation.

After Commander Klement heard Prince Sauron's order, a trace of solemnity flashed across his weathered face. His brow furrowed tightly, as if considering the significant meaning behind this sudden order.

After a moment of contemplation, he slowly nodded and said in a firm voice: "Yes, Seventh Prince. I will immediately start arranging for the Knights Corps and the Cavalry Corps to prepare for immediate dispatch."

Sauron unexpectedly shook his head, his eyes flashing with determination and perseverance: "In this battle, I will personally lead the troops!"

Klement and his adjutant exclaimed almost in unison when they heard this: "No!" Their faces were full of worry, obviously, they did not want the prince to risk himself.

Sauron just smiled slightly, his gaze deep and firm: "I have thought carefully about this battle. I should personally lead the army in this battle. As a prince, I should take the lead and lead our warriors to face this challenge together."

In the game, Sauron clearly remembered that there was a BUG in this game, that is, the cavalry was basically dominated by heavy cavalry. More precisely, in this world, there was no light cavalry in the traditional sense.

There was only one way for the cavalry to fight, and that was to move forward bravely and charge into battle.

Because there were more agile and faster rangers, whether it was reconnaissance or setting traps, they were stronger than light cavalry. And the knights wearing heavy armor were no slower than light cavalry when charging. If they couldn't beat them, they couldn't escape. The role of light cavalry was getting smaller and smaller, so there was no need for light cavalry. It was better to have heavy armored cavalry. The power accumulated during the charge was something that even knights did not dare to face head-on.

However, Sauron was different. He was very clear about the key role of light cavalry on the battlefield.

Therefore, before confirming the rebellion of the Seven Kings, he began a series of careful preparations. He specially customized a large number of special light crossbows from the Special Affairs Office. The design inspiration of this crossbow came from the empire's current crossbows, but the volume and weight have been greatly optimized.

It was because of this cavalry crossbow that Gustav decided to let him serve as the deputy commander, the purpose of which was to see Sauron's attainments in the military.

At least, when Sauron took out this set of cavalry crossbows, the craftsmen of the entire Special Affairs Office were amazed, and laid the foundation for a new generation of crossbows.

The shape of this special light crossbow was only half the size of a traditional crossbow, light enough for cavalry to operate with one hand, greatly improving the cavalry's mobility and combat efficiency.

In order to further improve the convenience of cavalrymen using this new weapon, Sauron also cleverly installed a hook on the saddle.

The cavalrymen only needed to simply reverse the crossbow, hang the bowstring on the hook of the saddle, and they could easily pull the bowstring with one hand.

It is worth mentioning that although this light crossbow reduced the required pulling force for the sake of portability, its power was not reduced as a result.

This benefited from the application of advanced pulley technology, which enabled the crossbow bolt to maintain strong kinetic energy when fired, thereby causing considerable damage to the enemy.
