Kaxin, as the leader of the Prince Knights, was a seasoned veteran with extensive experience.

When he led the Knights in a charge, but failed to catch up with Soren's crossbow cavalry immediately, he realized something was amiss.

This unusual feeling made him wary, but before he could delve deeper into the reasons behind it, he suddenly noticed that the crossbow cavalry had already reversed their crossbows, bracing them against their shoulders, and the cold arrowheads were mercilessly aimed in their direction.

Kaxin's heart jolted, and he was immediately alarmed. He hurriedly shouted, "Raise your shields!"

This was the fastest response he could think of, hoping to minimize the impending damage.

The rain of arrows arrived as expected.

The whistling of arrows echoed across the battlefield, as they rained down on the Knights.

Although the knights' armor was far more protective than that of heavy infantry, arrows still managed to find their way into the weak spots, such as the gaps in their helmets.

Each time an arrow struck, Kaxin felt a pang of heartache.

Although only a few men fell from their horses, these were all knights he had carefully trained, and the Knights were Prince Corlen's prized possession, accumulated over twenty years.

Their loss was undoubtedly a huge blow to Kaxin.

Watching the knights fall on the battlefield, Kaxin's heart was filled with pain and helplessness.

Under the pressing circumstances of the battle, Kaxin had no choice but to use the knight's charge technique once again.

"Hah! Charge!"

The Knights' morale soared, their speed suddenly increased, and they rapidly approached the fleeing crossbow cavalry unit.

Their armor gleamed with a cold light in the sunlight, displaying their fearless courage and determination.

Unlike the previous time, the crossbow cavalry did not unleash a volley this time. Instead, they adopted a wave after wave of arrow rain tactics, with dense arrows pouring down like a storm.

This continuous rain of arrows not only made it difficult for the knights to dodge, but more importantly, it successfully suppressed the speed of the Knights.

Kaxin's hard-won charging speed was forcibly suppressed by the dense rain of arrows.

Edmund and Jennifer's eyes lit up when they saw this scene.

They really hadn't expected that Prince Soren's tactics would be so successful, actually managing to suppress the speed of the enemy Knights.

This not only proved Soren's wisdom and strategic vision, but also filled them with confidence for future battles.

Kaxin, holding up his shield, glared angrily at the crossbow cavalry that was once again increasing the distance, so angry that he was almost spitting blood.

His heart was filled with frustration, as both charges had been cleverly defused by the enemy, leaving him feeling extremely dejected and angry. However, in his anger, he overlooked an important issue—the Knights' two charges had created a considerable distance between them and the following cavalry units.

This oversight could become a fatal weakness in their upcoming battle.

Soren's Royal Guard Knights, like leopards, keenly seized the opportunity. They lurked in the shadows, waiting for the chance to defeat the enemy.

When the Prince's cavalry regiment was struggling to catch up with the Knights, a brief gap appeared in the flank defense, and Soren immediately realized that this was a golden opportunity.

With Soren's order, the Royal Guard Knights shot out from the other side like arrows, their actions swift and decisive.

The cavalry regiment fell into chaos in shock, and the originally well-organized charging formation instantly collapsed.

This wave of charge not only demonstrated the extraordinary combat power of the Royal Guard Knights, but also highlighted the significant difference between the Knights and the cavalry regiment.

The Knights were rigorously selected and trained, and were far superior to ordinary cavalry regiments in terms of equipment, tactics, and individual combat capabilities. This surprise flanking attack brought the Knights' advantages into full play.

After losing their charging formation, Prince's thirty thousand heavy cavalry were in disarray, and they completely lost their advantage as cavalry.

Under the Royal Guard Knights' fierce attack, the cavalry regiment was in an unprecedented predicament. Their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, and they could no longer pose an effective threat to the enemy.

Silvan stood on the chaotic battlefield, witnessing the sharp reversal of the situation, and was stunned for a moment.

He couldn't believe that the tactics carefully arranged by Commander Prince had collapsed in an instant.

As an experienced general, he quickly recovered from the shock and made a swift decision. He immediately led the heavy infantry, hurrying to rescue the trapped cavalry regiment.

At the same time, Soren nodded slightly to Hiltin, which was the signal they had agreed upon in advance.

Hiltin immediately conveyed the new military order: "The entire army retreats to the southeast!"

This order caused a brief commotion in the Royal Guard Knights.

In the past, these proud knights might have questioned such a retreat order, but in today's battle, His Highness the Crown Prince's ingenious tactical arrangements had deeply shocked them.

They admired Soren's tactical vision and command ability, and therefore executed the order without hesitation.

After a brief reorganization, the Knights quickly and orderly disengaged from the battlefield and retreated to the southeast. Their movements were swift and decisive, without any hesitation.

When Silvan led the heavy infantry, panting, to the battlefield, he found that the Royal Guard Knights had disappeared without a trace. He was stunned, and a sense of indescribable frustration welled up in his heart. He looked around, trying to find any clues about the cavalry regiment.

"Where is Commander Kaxin?" Silvan asked anxiously, hoping to get some useful information from this experienced general.

Cavalry Regiment Commander Lyman struggled to spit out a mouthful of blood, his face pale and haggard.

In the battle, he was targeted by Andre and experienced a thrilling contest.

If the Royal Guard Knights hadn't retreated in time, he would probably have died at Andre's hands.

"Commander Kaxin went to pursue those crossbow cavalry," Lyman replied with difficulty, his voice weak and trembling.

Silvan was shocked when he heard this: "Damn it!" He immediately realized that this was a serious mistake.

Although Commander Kaxin was brave and good at fighting, he was likely to encounter ambushes or traps in the pursuit. Moreover, given their current strength, they could not provide effective support.
