Thick clouds blocked the sun and kept rolling, making the whole world dark.
The howling wind kept blowing, making the fluttering flags rustle...
An old man wearing a bright red robe and a red bishop's crown was standing on the hillside, looking at the sky with a solemn face.
In his hand, he was holding a golden sun badge.
That is the symbol of the Eternal Lord.
I saw the old man looking at the dark clouds in the sky, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes getting deeper and deeper, and then he said in a serious tone:
"The power of evil has obscured the stars, and today's battle... I'm afraid it won't be easy."
As soon as he finished speaking, along with a loud laugh, a majestic and vicissitudes of voice took over the topic:
"Haha, Lord Niklas, you are overthinking it. With three times the number of troops and many days of siege, today must be the end of Otto!"
The speaker was a tall, middle-aged nobleman.
He was wearing a shiny knight's armor, with blond hair and blue eyes. His tall aquiline nose made him look a bit more stern, while the double lion flags held high by the guards behind him were fluttering in the wind. Indicated his identity.
It was none other than the marshal of the Imperial Crusade, Duke Rosen, who was reprimanded by the Queen for the Wells family incident some time ago.
The old man in red glanced at Duke Rosen indifferently. His calm and profound gaze made the powerful Duke unconsciously lower his laughter.
"Your Excellency, don't be careless, have you forgotten the Battle of Peach Grove?"
The old man said calmly.
Duke Rosen's face froze slightly.
Taoshulin is the name of a place on the western border of Maple Leaf Territory. A month and a half ago, he led his army to fight there with Booto's army on the border. It can be said that he returned with a great defeat...
That battle was simply a shame for the Rosen family.
"It was an accident. I didn't expect Otto to be able to summon the fallen war beast, and I didn't know where he got the descendants of these titans..."
Duke Rosen gritted his teeth.
After speaking, he squinted his eyes again:
"However... the biggest loss that day was actually the mercenaries recruited. The main force of my Guards Corps did not suffer major losses. Now with the strong support of the church and the addition of the Judgment Knights, Coupled with the heavy spears and ballistas I have mobilized from various places this month, even if Otto has a war beast, he will never be a match!"
After speaking, he looked down the hillside, opened his arms, and said with some pride:
"Lord Niklas, looking at such an army, don't you think so?"
After finishing speaking, he turned around again and said respectfully:
"Of course, the war between the secular world will be resolved by our nobles. If a power beyond the extraordinary really appears, Lord Nicholas will be asked to take action."
The old man nodded slightly, with a solemn and pious expression:
"Of course, my lord will not sit back and watch innocent lambs be devoured by evil..."
Duke Rosen’s expression became even more exciting. He laughed loudly, looked into the distance and said:
"Then let us end this senseless rebellion together!"
Listening to his determined words, the old man also followed his gaze.
As far as the eye can see, under the hillside, there is an endless army.
After the reorganization, the Empire's Third Guards Corps in red armor was the main force, the various mercenary groups recruited as the vanguard, and the white-clothed Eternal Church Judgment Knights as the elite 100,000 Army!
Among the team were a series of ferocious chariots, each one ten meters long.
That is a round of heavy weapons designed to deal with large monsters - heavy spear ballistae.
The flags continued to flutter in the army, and the deafening footsteps came slowly as the army marched, like thunder.
Such a huge military force can only be deployed in the fertile plains with flat terrain.
The huge imperial army was like a huge red torrent, and like a huge open net, rushing towards the distance.
On the other side, there is a silver-gray army that seems to be much smaller in number and obviously at a disadvantage...
That was the army organized by Booto on the border, and its number was only one-third of the Red Torrent.
They were forming a defensive formation, guarding behind huge ferocious beasts that looked like Behemoths.
In the howling wind, the two torrents finally connected.
The long-range defense magic shield is dissolved, and the battle... begins!
The mercenary group serving as the vanguard roared into Border Bo's army. Their discipline was far inferior to that of the regular army, but the years of fighting gave them a strength that was significantly higher than that of the ordinary army. The strength of each person was Above the black iron middle.
On the border side, although the military strength is slightly weak, the neat defensive formation has weakened the advantage of the imperial army.
When the two sides fight, it is a brutal fight.
The mighty shouts of killing rang out, and every second someone fell, and every second, subsequent soldiers rushed forward under the coercion of the army to fill the vacancies left by the predecessors.
And suddenly, accompanied by a series of roars, the giant beast on the Border Bo side moved.
They beat their chests and rushed into the imperial army's array. Their unscrupulous movements and terrifying size made them like unstoppable mountains, crushing everything in front of them into flesh. mud.
It wasn't until a sound broke through the air that giant spears with flames were shot out from the imperial army one after another, ending their madness.
That is the heavy crossbow of the Imperial Army.
The attack of the heavy crossbow is like a signal, and the long-range attack begins.
The longbowmen and crossbowmen began to project, and the mage groups on both sides also began to give various buff spells to each other's battle groups...
For a time, the entire battlefield shone brightly and was shrouded in colorful magical light. While cruel, it also had a different kind of dreamy feel.
In a world with extraordinary power, extraordinary people obviously have stronger endurance than ordinary people.
Not to mention the various buff magics that are almost like plug-ins, which also allow warriors to fight back even when they are certain to die...
Therefore, the outcome of the battle cannot be decided in a moment.
The entire battlefield is like a cruel meat grinder.
Looking at the quagmire-like battle situation, the nobles on the hillside showed expressions of satisfaction.
As a party with a large number of people, as long as there is no defeat and exhaustion, the final winner will definitely be them.
This is already a good performance on the premise that the rebels have war beasts.
After all, no matter how powerful the heavy crossbow is, it cannot easily kill those big guys with thick skin and flesh.
However, Cardinal Niklas, who was also watching the battle on the hillside and served as the supreme leader of the Eternal Church and the supervisor of the Imperial Army, looked at the battle in the distance and raised his eyebrows in surprise:
"Which mercenary group is in the southwest? Its combat effectiveness is so strong?"
After hearing his slightly surprised question, the nobles focused their attention on the southwest side of the battlefield.
There, I saw that the rebels had completely broken through the defense line. A group of mercenaries with the same armor as the imperial army, but with extremely powerful weapons were running around inside the rebels, almost killing them...
What's more, it seems that there are twenty or thirty mercenaries entangled with a giant war beast, spinning it around, leaving scars on its body, and it is about to be worn to death bit by bit. ……
After noticing the red standard armor of those mercenaries and the weapons that were obviously more gorgeous than those of the surrounding mercenaries, the nobles all had strange expressions.
They subconsciously looked at the leader, Duke Rosen, whose expression was somewhat uncertain.
"That's a recruited elf mercenary group from the Elf Forest."
He said with a somewhat unnatural expression.
"Elf?"
A hint of surprise flashed across Cardinal Nicholas's expression.
He glanced at Duke Rosen, remembering something that caused a lot of fuss in the past few days, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.
Then he asked meaningfully:
"You used the summoning statue of the goddess of life?"
"No, they were not summoned by the gods. As my Lord's servants, how could we use those things? In fact, they were recruited to join the war before the war started..."
Duke Rosen shook his head.
"Take the initiative to accept the call?"
Nicholas raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, and their requirements are not high. They only need to provide them with armor..."
Duke Rosen replied.
As he spoke, he sneered again:
"Although these elves are very hateful, as cannon fodder... they are indeed suitable. They are the craziest mercenaries I have ever seen."
The Cardinal nodded slightly and continued to patrol the battlefield.
When his eyes noticed the other corner of the battlefield, his brows wrinkled slightly:
"What's going on there?"
The nobles followed his gaze again and saw that where Cardinal Nicholas signaled, the imperial army was rapidly being defeated, while on the rebel side, a group of soldiers were going crazy and began to charge back. Go to the Imperial Army's military formation and kill them...
Of course, the Imperial Army has a large number of people. After the mercenaries and soldiers in the front are killed, they will soon be replaced by people in the rear. But even so, the situation of almost being suppressed by one side is also divided on the entire battlefield. Outwardly conspicuous, second only to the crazy elf mercenary group.
However, when the nobles saw the "rebels" who were wearing rebel-style armor and had familiar and gorgeous equipment, their expressions became weirder than the others.
They couldn't help but look at Duke Rosen, and the Imperial Marshal who commanded the army seemed to have an even more ugly expression.
"Hell... it seems to be an elf mercenary group too. It seems that Otto has also summoned elf mercenaries... these **** long ears!"
He cursed.
Cardinal Nicholas was speechless for a moment.
"Your Excellency Duke Rosen, maybe you should let the elves deal with the elves to reduce our consumption."
He said calmly.
Duke Rosen glanced at the noble responsible for organizing the mercenaries and arranging the fighting positions of the mercenary groups:
"Sir Beyer?"
His voice was a little dissatisfied, with a hint of questioning.
Sir Baier's face turned pale and he smiled slightly and said:
"No, Your Majesty the Duke, Your Majesty the Bishop, these cunning long-eared men requested never to fight with the elves when they accepted the invitation, otherwise they would not participate in the war. Not only that, they said they would also accept the invitation from the Border Count... …”
Nicholas:......
Duke Rosen:......
Looking at Duke Rosen’s somewhat unpleasant expression, Sir Bayer quickly said:
"But don't worry, Lord Duke, after this battle, I will definitely summon all the elven mercenaries I can summon, and I will never give the rebels another chance."
"After this battle, do you want another one?"
Duke Rosen glared at him.
Sir Beyer touched his nose awkwardly, then looked solemn:
"No! The rebels will be annihilated in this battle!"
"That's pretty much it."
Duke Rosen nodded slightly.
Then, he looked at the battle situation again. When he saw the growing gap opened by the elven mercenaries in the southwest, his expression flashed slightly:
"It's time."
"Notify the Knights of the Guards and the Knights of Judgment to unlock the concealment magic and launch a charge from the southwest!"
Following Duke Rosen's order, the accompanying mage immediately sent a magic signal to the sky.
A moment later, waves of hooves sounding like a tsunami began to sound on the battlefield.
Along with the billowing dust, large groups of cavalry troops suddenly appeared on the southwest side of the battlefield. Each of the cavalrymen and their horses were fully armored and wearing red cloaks. The four-meter-long knight guns in their hands flashed. cold light.
That is the armored heavy cavalry unit of the empire. Each cavalry has at least the strength of black iron, and the proportion of silver strength has reached an astonishing quarter. Of course...most of them have been promoted in the past few years. of.

The mounts under them are also exotic horses mixed with the blood of Warcraft. Looking at the strength of the mounts alone, they are at least third-level or even fourth-level Warcraft!
This is the strongest military branch of the Holy Mania Empire, and it is also the trump card for the entire empire to sweep across the continent. For the Third Imperial Guards Corps alone, there are more than 10,000 such armored heavy cavalry!
In addition to tens of thousands of armored heavy cavalry, there are also about three thousand white horse knights.
They are also all covered in armor, their bodies are shining with a faint holy light, and they are equipped with shields and knight swords with the sun symbol.
That is the Judgment Knights of the Eternal Church. Every Judgment Knight has the strength of Silver, and the knight who serves as the captain has at least reached the Silver level, and there are many powerful existences of the Gold level!
The Knights of Judgment... are the main force of the Eternal Church to eradicate the forces of heresy and evil gods. They rarely participate in secular wars. The church only used this force after the Border Lord announced the expulsion of the Eternal Church.
Although they are not heavy cavalry, each of them has practiced martial arts while also practicing divine arts, which can be regarded as dual cultivation, not to mention that each of the horses under them has dragon scales with the blood of a giant dragon. The collision and trampling effect of the horse is more terrifying than that of the lifting knight.
With the comprehensive bonus, their strength is stronger and more flexible than the heavy cavalry...
This total of 13,000 elite cavalry is Duke Rosen’s biggest trump card in annihilating the rebels this time!
Thousands of horses are galloping, and the momentum is overwhelming.
I saw the cavalry troops rushing into the battlefield like a mudslide under the horrified eyes of the rebels, inserting into the heart of the rebel formation like a sharp blade!
In just a moment, the rebels who were in a stalemate with the Imperial Army collapsed immediately...
"Victory..."
Duke Rosen showed a satisfied smile.
However, at this moment, an evil and cold aura suddenly descended on the battlefield.
Among the rolling clouds, a giant hand that covered the sky and sun suddenly stretched out.
The giant hand descended from the sky and struck towards the imperial army...
