Chapter 185 Field Battle (Part 1)

"Does he want to fight us here?" Looking at the solid defense line that stretched for dozens of miles in front of him, and the military camp of the Empire of Light that looked like endless after that, the Roland coalition commander Tiger looked a little solemn - of course, there was a bit of doubt in the solemnity.

In fact, Tiger's doubts never faded.

The fact of seizing Thunder City has always made Tiger very surprised - the Tulip Duke actually gave up Thunder City like this? He gave up the gate that guarded the way south of the Light Continent?

After holding on for so many days, he actually took his powerful army to withdraw from the strong military fortress of Leiming City...

On the day of the city breaking, Tiger witnessed the last remaining flame warrior group of the Empire of Light that died to the last person. Although in the eyes of the Rolanders, those people were pagans, they had to admit that those people were very brave and extremely loyal to their beliefs! Although in the eyes of the Rolanders, they believed in the devil.

The 30,000 Flame Warrior Order was like the tail of a gecko, and was abandoned by the Duke of Tulip without hesitation - used as a barrier for his main legion to retreat safely.

The 30,000 Flame Warrior Order resisted the Rolanders for another one and a half days! He withstood the Rolanders' waves of attacks like tides - when the Sacred Knights finally broke through the gate of Thunder City, Tiger was so excited that he almost cried - he had already lost 100,000 people under the Thunder City!

But when he entered the city, he realized something was wrong.

The main legion of Tulip Duke had already retreated, and only those flame warriors were left in the city. Although those people fought very bravely to the end, 30,000 people faced hundreds of thousands of people, which was equivalent to a massacre.

The Tulip Duke did it very thoroughly.

Thunder City has almost become a ruin. Most of the buildings in the city have been demolished, and most of them seem to be building stones. They were used to stop the Rolanders from siegeing the city in the previous battles to defend the city - most of the stones hit the Rolanders' heads.

All the supplies and what can be taken away in the city were taken away by the Duke of Tulip. Food, weapons... that cannot be taken away, or that have not been taken away, were all destroyed. Looking at the heavy thief under the city that had turned into a pile of broken wood, Tiger didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

There are still many places in the city where the flames are burning, and in some corners, the remaining flames of the Warrior Order are still fighting for the final resistance.

No matter what, no matter how confused she was in her heart, Tiger finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I can't take care of that much. No matter whether the Duke of Tulip deliberately gave up Leiming City or really couldn't hold on to retreat, in short, Leiming City was taken down. The portal to conquer the Light Continent south has been opened.

No matter what, the Rolanders' conquest will not stop!

After two days of repair in Leiming City, Tiger ordered to go south!

Undoubtedly, Tiger was cautious. He sent two 10,000 teams to be the vanguard and guided the road of the army behind.

When the news came back, Tiger's brows became more and more frowning.

Two vanguards of ten thousand people searched and explored everywhere, but found nothing.

Along the way from Leiming City, there are no people in the towns, villages, and places where you go.

How could it be? Despite the pre-war intelligence, Tiger also knew that the northern provinces of the Light Empire were barren and sparsely populated, and they thought they were just military war zones.

But no matter how small the population is, there should be people, right?

Facing the towns and villages that had been gone long ago and those empty streets, the soldiers of the Roland people were a little confused - they were already full of murderous aura, but suddenly found that there was no place to vent.

You know, they were prepared to teach the pagans well. Everyone is very clear about the will of the temple:

The joint announcement of the Temple and more than a dozen kingdoms in the Roland Continent was: All warriors who participated in the jihad, the land and property of the pagans conquered in the war on the Light Continent can be divided into part! There are also slaves!

Although this order is not so in line with the spirit of chivalry, it seems to be a bit of a call to everyone to rob on the Light Continent, considering that the jihad requires a large amount of manpower and military power, and the other party is a pagan, they are all sinners who rebel against the gods... so they can't control so much.

But all the way south, the Rolanders discovered that the people from the Light Empire were gone.

Of course, nothing was left behind. Those pagans of the Light Empire and those guilty people seemed to have left behind their houses, their homes, even their property, and a lot of valuable gold, silver and jewelry... These made many military officers and soldiers very excited, and they really made a lot of money.

Who said that the northern provinces of the Empire of Light are barren? It seems that these pagans are still very rich! Many officers and soldiers have made a fortune, and many people can't wait to dream of a rich man. Well... Maybe after the war is over, you can use this money to buy a good piece of land and then build a small manor, and it's better to get a few beautiful pagan maids...

But the only thing is that those people from the Light Empire did not leave a single grain! There was not a single cent!

On the originally barren land in the north, the originally thin grain crops in the fields had long been harvested, and those that had not been harvested had long been burned to pieces, leaving behind scorched earth.

Faced with this situation, a sentence flashed through Tiger's mind: Strong walls and clear the wilderness!

Tiger knew his current situation very well. He led an army of hundreds of thousands to the south. The food consumption of hundreds of thousands of people and the forage consumption of horses were extremely amazing - no, that was no longer amazing, it was simply "scary"!

It turns out that when the city of Thunder is under the sea, supply is not a problem at all. Relying on the powerful maritime power of the Rolands, all supplies can be transported from the sea continuously - the Empire of Light has no power to rob their fleet at sea.

But now it’s different. Now it’s in someone’s home, gradually extending to the inner abdomen of the mainland. No matter how powerful the navy is, it is impossible to drive the warships on land to send supplies to the army. All supplies must be transported to Leiming City, and then the army escorted them all the way south.

The pace of going south was extremely smooth. The army's southward movement, including the two 10,000 teams walking in front, did not encounter any decent resistance. Occasionally, when they encountered some small local garrison troops of the Empire of Light, they all easily repelled the other party - or not repelled, but when the other party saw themselves from afar, they took the initiative to run away.

It seems that the rumors are true. Many armies of the Light Empire have been lax in their military equipment. They are no longer the empire with a huge elite army. The current Light Empire may still be very large, but the word "elite" may not be true. Of course, except for the Thunder Whip, the Thunder Whip commanded by the Duke of Tulip... and their Northern Legion, also seemingly very powerful.

At least, I currently have an advantage in military strength. The Northwest Legion of the Light Empire was dragged to the northwest by Luo Yantar's ally. Their Southern Legion needs to guard the south and the imperial capital. The combined force of the Northern Legion and Thunder Whip is less than that of the current Tiger's army... Now, what I need is an opportunity.

An opportunity for the main force to fight! As long as you can defeat the main force of Duke Tulip in one fell swoop, then...

Finally, on the Pamir Plain, the Rolanders' pace of taking down was stopped!

The Rolanders looked in surprise at the military camp of the Light Empire that appeared on the flat Pamir Plain in front of them!

I really don't know how these pagans did it!

The huge military camp on the plain can accommodate at least 300,000 troops. The entire military camp is surrounded by solid wood. In front of the camp is a deep trench - hell, a trench that has grown dozens of miles? There are also dense horse-rejecting fortifications on the periphery to block the iron hooves of the Knight Roland...

This is no longer a barracks, it is simply a solid line of defense!

Looking at the strong walls, the deep trenches, the horses with sharp blades hanging upside down, and the archers in the military camp.

Tiger couldn't help but sigh. Such a deep trench, I don't know how many corpses it would take to fill it. No matter what, it must be a lot, a lot...

No matter what, Tiger was relieved. In any case, he finally found the opponent's main legion. His steps towards the south were too smooth, which made people feel a little uneasy. Now, although he faced a solid defense line that made people numb, he could finally fight with real swords and guns!

Humph, no matter how strong their camp is, can it be as strong as the walls of Thunder City? Without putting the city walls, they ran to build a military camp on the plain. I really don’t know what the Tulip Duke thought!

After the first day of testing, the two sides began a real battle the next day.

This time, the Tulip Duke did not seem to retain any strength. On the Pamir Plain, on the battlefield empty between the camps of the two armies, both sides invested tens of thousands of people to start the first field battle.

The army of the Empire of Light taught the Rolanders a lesson: No matter how powerful the navy is, on land, the Empire of Light will win the world!

The dense phalanx formed by more than 30,000 heavy-armored infantry from the Empire of Light tenaciously resisted the attacks of the Rolanders, and cooperated with the long-range strikes of the archers behind him, causing the Rolanders to suffer a great loss.

The Royal Knights of the Roland coalition forces of the Sauron Kingdom were ordered to charge. The new commander of the Royal Knights really hoped that this battle would wipe out the shame of defeat at Thunderbrow City. The brave Knights of Roland shouted the slogan of fighting for honor and rushed towards the heavy armored infantry regiment of the Light Empire.

They were greeted by three-meter-long spears, and the spears were lifted like a forest. The first wave of cavalry crashed into the spear formation of the Empire of Light. In addition to those who were pierced, some people who fell off their horses by chance, were immediately cut off by the imperial soldiers guarding the front infantry.

The knights of the Roland Royal Knights immediately discovered the fact that even if they were not facing the Thunder Whip, the other troops of the other side were not as weak as they imagined. The opponent's heavy-price infantry regiment was obviously strictly trained. Faced with the charge of the cavalry of their own Knights, the opponent's infantry was very motivated, without any panic or timidity. The soldiers in the front row still bravely raised their spears, and the entire square array stood together in densely. Facing the spears protruding in the shield wall, they really made their scalp numb when they saw it.

Seeing that the Royal Knights failed to successfully break through the opponent's square formation, Tiger immediately ordered the two infantry regiments to rush forward.

In any case, although the cavalry did not break through the opponent's infantry formation, it at least caused some chaos to the opponent.

To take a step back, Tiger doesn't want the precious Knights to be exhausted in this kind of battle!

On the first day of the field battle, seeing the sun set west, both sides ended the battle. The Empire of Light lost 10,000 brave soldiers, while the Rolanders lost between 20,000 and 30,000. The battlefield was full of broken corpses, and the setting sun in the sky seemed to be stained with blood.

Seeing the bright red sun in the horizon gradually disappearing from the horizon, Tiger couldn't help but sigh: A soldier from the Light Empire could withstand two or even three Roland soldiers. This fact made him feel a little depressed.

If you encounter Thunder Whip, the ratio may be further expanded. One Thunder Whip can withstand more than four Rolanders...

Tiger was a little confused.

The other party has such a powerful army, so why did this jihad war be launched?

Where did those people in the temple get nervous? They actually started a war that they were not sure of winning???

With the army of hundreds of thousands of countries in your hand, you can conquer this powerful empire in front of you???

If... if... if I had the Thunder Whip in my hand... Thinking of this, Tiger immediately gave up the idea in his mind, because it was simply impossible.

He knew very well that the cost of supporting and maintaining such a powerful army was amazing. There are more than a dozen countries on the Roland continent, and each country has limited national strength, and no country has the ability to support such an expensive army alone. It is impossible to select so many excellent warriors.

"Perhaps, only the Roland Continent can unite and rely on the power of the entire continent to build such an army..." Tiger shook his head and tried to dissipate the thought in his mind. Then he thought that the Thunder Whip is impossible. The Sacred Knights in the Temple can be considered to be able to compete with the Thunder Whip head-on. However, the Sacred Knights belong to the Temple. The Temple has a huge power in the Roland Continent, and every knight regards being able to enter the Sacred Knights as its highest honor. This situation has led to the most excellent combat power in the Sacred Knights.

The temple has various taxes throughout the Roland Continent, and its huge financial resources can support them in establishing such a powerful cavalry regiment. Whether it is manpower and material resources or the quality of the knights, it ensures the highest level. This advantage is incomparable to any country in the Roland Continent.

Tiger smiled bitterly and could only take another step back. If... if... if the hundreds of thousands of people under his command had the same level as the Royal Knights...

If the hundreds of thousands of troops under his command could reach the level of the Royal Knights, Tiger would also be confident that he could defeat the Duke of Tulip! After all, he had a great advantage in terms of numbers!

But...Tiger still smiled bitterly when he thought of this.

The Royal Knights belong to the Kingdom of Soren. The Kingdom of Soren has a small part of the territory and population of the entire Roland Continent. This has enough capital to establish such a cavalry army that is known as the only one of the Sacred Knights. But this is already the limit of the Kingdom of Soren. Because it is at the southernmost end of the Roland Continent, the Kingdom of Soren has devoted most of its energy to maintaining a strong naval force - everyone knows the importance of the navy. Without a strong navy, the pagans of the Empire of Light crossed the sea two hundred years ago!

In this way, the two sides confronted each other on the Pamir Plain. During this period, the two sides had fought hard several times. After several field battles, although the military quality of the Empire of Light was far higher than that of the Rolands, the Rolands still maintained the situation by relying on their number of advantages.

That night, both sides sent hundreds of people to clean up the battlefield - this moment was a tacit understanding between the two sides. The people sent by both sides carefully searched the wounded soldiers who had not yet died on the battlefield, carried them back, and then cleared the bodies and gathered them together...

Flames ignited on the edge of the battlefield, and the bodies of the soldiers who died in battle turned into ashes in the flames.

At this moment, the Rolanders are still recalling the amazing scenes during the field battle today!

Today, both sides have invested enough money. The people of the Light Empire sent their ace, Thor's Whip! The people of the Roland were the Holy Knights.

Facing the scene where both sides were galloping, it seemed as if the entire earth was shaking, and even the clouds in the sky were shaken.

Hundreds of thousands of people witnessed the frontal defense of the strongest cavalry legions on the two continents!

The people of Roland had high expectations for the Holy Knights. In their hearts, they had already recognized the terribleness of the Thunder Whip and witnessed the power of the Thunder Whip with their own eyes. The people of Roland also believed that the only one who could defend the Thunder Whip head-on on the battlefield was the only one who could defend the Thunder Whip head-on.

But the fact surprised them at one time.

Perhaps, if in an ordinary state, the Holy Knights can withstand the Thunder Whip! But if it is led by the terrifying Duke of Tulip, the Thunder Whip's charge can crush any enemy in front of you!

Since the only Paladin in the army who can compete with the Tulip Duke at this moment has not healed seriously, the attack of the Sacred Knights was initiated under the leadership of three great knights.

Then hundreds of thousands of people witnessed the Tulip Duke killing the three great knights on the battlefield. One of the great knights died particularly miserable. The Tulip Duke hit his horse with an amazing sword. Then he saw the great knight flying out with his horse and falling into the chaos of thousands of horses. Finally, the people who cleaned the battlefield at night could not even find his body... They had been trampled into meat paste by tens of thousands of horses' hooves!
