Chapter 503: h.e.l.l in the Millstone
When the time came, the front row of cavalries would crash into the s.h.i.+eld wall of the North County alliance army’s infantry formation one by one, adding a layer of human and horse corpses as a barrier in front of the s.h.i.+eld wall and the lance formation. The second, third, and fourth rows of heavy cavalries would not be able to stop their chariots, they would also crash forward without a doubt.
As for the heavy cavalries at the back, they could only follow the charge of the cavalries at the front. By the time they realized that the people in front of them were falling one after another, it would be too late.
The three grand knights were the commanders of the three heavy cavalry legions of the South County n.o.ble alliance army. At this moment, they were like three b.l.o.o.d.y people, lying on the warhorse that had been dead for a long time and had its neck broken.
They had their backs against the cold tower s.h.i.+elds, and they did not have the strength to stand up.
The extraordinary strength that they unleashed at full strength had already caused their bodies, which had been heavily injured from the impact of the tower s.h.i.+elds, to be riddled with holes.
At this moment, they saw that most of the heavy cavalries of their side had safely avoided the forest of lances and s.h.i.+eld walls that were like monsters and traps. The unyielding light in their eyes gradually dimmed.
Just like that, they leaned on the cold tower s.h.i.+eld of the North County n.o.ble alliance army. Under the cover of the hundreds of corpses of the South County’s knights and knight attendants that were hanging on the forest of lances, surrounded by hundreds of warhorses that were dead or not yet dead. They eventually died quietly.
From the beginning to the end, the North County n.o.ble alliance army’s infantry formation had been silent. They did not let out earth-shattering cries as the charging South County n.o.ble alliance army did.
The surrounding spies who were watching the battle thought that the North County n.o.ble alliance army’s infantry had been scared silly by the might of the South County n.o.ble alliance army’s cavalries charging forward.
However, after the results of this battle came out…
They looked at the battlefield silently. Under the s.h.i.+eld wall and above the forest of lances, there were hundreds of corpses of knights or attendants of the South County n.o.ble alliance army’s heavy cavalries. They actually felt a sense of panic in their hearts.
At this moment, in the eyes of these thousands of spies from all over the world…
The silent infantry formation of the North County n.o.ble alliance army was like a battlefield monster, quietly crouching in the middle of the battlefield, facing the charge of 15,000 elite heavy cavalry soldiers from the South County n.o.ble alliance army, it was waiting to devour all enemies that came.
The silent and suppressed aura spread among the spies. The strength of this North County n.o.ble alliance army’s infantry far exceeded their expectations, their imagination, and even exceeded their knowledge.
The elites had never heard of such a thing.
After all, they were all spies.
The silent and stifling atmosphere was quickly broken. In the vicinity of the battlefield where the b.l.o.o.d.y aura had yet to disperse, they began to communicate and ask about the information of this North County n.o.ble alliance army’s infantry formation.
“Who knows which n.o.ble these heavy footmen who used tower s.h.i.+elds to defend the outermost perimeter of the infantry formation belong to?” a spy asked.
The moment he opened his mouth, he asked the most crucial question. The answer to these questions was that all the spies were concerned about.
These heavy footmen were equipped with extremely exquisite standard equipment, and they coordinated well. It was obvious that they were from the same n.o.ble.
This time, the battle between the North County n.o.ble alliance army’s infantry formation and the South County n.o.ble alliance army’s 15,000 heavy cavalries was extremely short. The one who had made the greatest contribution was the powerful heavy footman behind these tower s.h.i.+elds.
Even if the North County n.o.ble alliance army had only a few hundred of these heavy footmen, it was not an exaggeration to say that they were capable of blocking the charge of 15,000 heavy cavalries of South County n.o.ble alliance army.
These people, who had come to this battlefield to be spies, had a certain level of military understanding.
Naturally, they could see that if it was not for the timely orders of the commanders of the three heavy cavalry legions, these 15,000 heavy cavalries of South County alliance army might have directly collapsed under a large number of collisions, they were utterly defeated.
“I’ve never seen such elite Infantry!”
“That’s right. Even the Keyes Kingdom, the empire at the center of human countries which famous for its infantry, doesn’t have such elite heavy footman, right?”
“You’re talking nonsense. Our Keyes Kingdom’s infantry is the best in the world. Have you seen how our strongest infantry legion fight?”
Obviously, the words of the scout in front had angered the scout from Keyes Kingdom. Although he admitted that these infantrymen were extremely elite, he obviously wouldn’t agree if it was said that they were even more elite than their Keyes Kingdom’s heavy footman.
“Alright, alright, that fellow just use your Keyes Kingdom’s infantrymen. Don’t take it too seriously!”
“That’s right. After all, which n.o.ble of the Dukedom of Leo’s North County does these elite infantrymen belong to? It has never appeared before. It should be the strongest trump card of their family.”
“That makes sense. After the three heavy cavalry legions of the South County n.o.ble alliance army retreat, I think this North County n.o.ble alliance army will set up camp again and rest for a while. At that time, we can take the opportunity to approach and scout.”
“Why do we have to wait until that time? In my opinion, their equipment is so uniform. It’s obviously standard equipment. Then, on those equipment, there must be the n.o.ble’s family badge.”
“That’s right. I think as long as we ride closer, we can see it clearly. As spies, our ability to identify all kinds of badges is beyond doubt. No matter what kind of badge this family has, we can always recognize it. Even if it’s really remote, we can still find out the ident.i.ty of their badge.”
“Then, who will go?”
The infantry legion of the North County n.o.ble alliance army, which stood silently in the middle of the battlefield, was like a crawling monster, emitting a terrifying aura.
This was how these spies felt about the infantry legion of the North County n.o.ble alliance army. This was naturally the result of this battle, which had shocked their eyes and determined the outcome in an instant. It had formed a strong impact on them.
“Why don’t we go together? The infantry legion of the North County n.o.ble alliance army shouldn’t be against us. In fact, they might even use this battle to announce their victory to the world.”
“Now that you mention it, I think it’s true.”
“Otherwise, how could they allow us spies to spy openly?”
“If that’s the case, then the n.o.ble of the North County will have a big heart!”
“Ai, who says it isn’t? The continent is becoming more and more unstable recently. Everyone is traveling around, so they should have some understanding, right?”
“The chaotic world is coming, a storm is coming!”
“Don’t come here to sigh. Are we going or not?”
“Yes, yes, we’re going!”
A large group of spies slowly approached the infantry corps of the North County n.o.ble alliance army from thousands of meters away.
