Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

Along the way, Gu Tianlun constantly practiced using this new weapon with the cavalry and knight orders.

After a period of familiarization, the cavalrymen were now able to skillfully operate this light crossbow on horseback.

Due to the relatively short training time, their shooting accuracy still needed improvement.

However, Soren was not worried about this. Accuracy was not the most important thing during the march of a large army.

The cavalrymen only needed to ensure that the direction of the crossbow bolts was roughly correct, relying on a wide range of attacks to compensate for the lack of accuracy.

This tactic could also play a huge role on the battlefield, leaving the enemy with nowhere to escape.

Combined with the light cavalry's swift and flexible harassment tactics, he believed that it would surely shine in this battle.

Soren clarified his primary goal: to do his utmost to harass the rear of the Prince Legion, break its stable battle line, and thus prevent the mage order from casting powerful area-of-effect magic.

Because once those mages successfully cast area-of-effect magic, the Third Legion located within Demon Valley would suffer a major blow, which they could not afford.

Kremont and his adjutant, Hiltin, stood in the tent, their eyes meeting in the air, helplessness and respect flowing silently in that brief moment. They knew that this young Crown Prince standing before them was not only of noble status but also possessed a burning warrior's heart.

Hiltin took a deep breath and eagerly advised, "Your Highness, your status is noble; you are the future and hope of the empire. There are no eyes on the battlefield, and if something were to happen to you, how would we answer to His Majesty and the entire empire? Please consider the big picture and do not personally take risks."

Soren simply shook his head silently, his gaze turning to Kremont, as if seeking some kind of tacit understanding or support. He knew that before this expedition, his father had a deep conversation with Kremont, which must have involved himself.

Kremont looked at Soren's firm eyes and sighed inwardly, "His Majesty is truly prescient. The Crown Prince is indeed as he expected, wanting to go into battle himself." He understood that Soren's courage and determination could not be easily shaken.

So, Kremont slowly said, "Your Highness, if you really want to go to war, as your subject, I naturally dare not stop you. But I have one condition that I hope you can agree to." His tone revealed a hint of firmness and helplessness.

Hiltin was immediately alarmed upon hearing this, "Legion Commander, this..." He wanted to say something, but was stopped by Kremont's wave.

Soren looked at Kremont, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes. He nodded, signaling Kremont to continue, "Please state your condition."

"Please take Hiltin and my guards with you, Your Highness," Kremont said solemnly. He knew the dangers and unpredictability of the battlefield, so he wanted to provide Soren with the greatest possible protection.

Hiltin understood immediately upon hearing Kremont's words. He originally wanted to persuade Soren again, but at this moment, he chose to remain silent.

As an eighth-tier Grand Knight Commander, he knew that his responsibility was great. He not only had to protect Soren's safety, but also ensure the stability of the entire battle situation.

Hiltin's strength was beyond doubt. He was a fierce general on the battlefield. Whether in one-on-one combat or leading the Knights in a charge, he showed outstanding ability and courage. And his guards, although there were only twelve of them, were all elites among elites.

The weakest of them were sixth-tier knights, while the strongest were two seventh-tier peak knight commanders.

Such a lineup undoubtedly provided Soren with a solid protective barrier.

Soren naturally agreed to Kremont's request.

With such strong bodyguards protecting him, his safety on the battlefield would be greatly guaranteed.

At the same time, he also expressed his gratitude for Kremont's and Hiltin's concern and loyalty.

"Thank you for your care, Legion Commander," Soren said with a smile, and elegantly gave Kremont a standard knight's salute. His movements were smooth and natural, revealing an innate noble temperament and battlefield bravery.

Kremont saw this and quickly returned the salute, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He did not expect Soren to suddenly salute. The Crown Prince's humility and politeness surprised and admired him.

"Sir Hiltin, I will have to trouble you and your guards next," he said, then turned to Hiltin and gave him a knight's salute as well, to express his gratitude and respect for Hiltin and his team.

Hiltin hurriedly returned the salute, with a slightly flustered expression on his face.

He originally thought that the Crown Prince would be an arrogant and unapproachable person, but at this moment, Soren's amiability and politeness completely changed his view.

Soren, riding on his warhorse, could clearly feel the earth trembling under the trampling of countless hooves, as if even the air was vibrating. This shocking scene made the fighting spirit in his heart even more high-spirited.

Such a large-scale cavalry operation could not be concealed from the Prince Legion's rangers and scouts.

These experienced scouts, with eyes as sharp as hawks, had already locked onto this powerful cavalry torrent.

They quickly sent the news back to the Prince Legion to prepare for the upcoming battle.

The mobility of the cavalry was crucial. To this end, Soren issued a new order: except for the elite knights of the Knight Order, the remaining cavalrymen must replace their heavy armor with ordinary light leather armor.

The aim was to increase the cavalry's flexibility and speed on the battlefield. At the same time, he also required each cavalryman to be equipped with four arrow quivers, each filled with twenty crossbow bolts, in preparation for long-range attacks on the battlefield.

This order was not welcomed by all the cavalrymen. Some cavalrymen disagreed with this change, feeling that heavy armor could provide better protection and reduce the risk in battle. But unfortunately, it was Soren, the Crown Prince of the empire, who issued this order.

Just as the cavalrymen were still discussing this new order in private, Edmund, the scout sent by Soren to scout, hurried back. He reported to Soren with a serious expression, "Your Highness! Two heavy infantry legion battalions of the Prince Legion have been discovered five miles ahead."
