Chapter 689
Just like the beginning without any warning, no one is aware of when this sudden fight ended.
Everything was quietly submerged in the grass under billowing smoke and dust.
Under the rays of light of the setting sun, flags were waving on the battlefield one after another, and the sound of fighting and roaring gradually died down; the grass underneath was full of fallen dead bodies, broken. Weapon and banner.
It was the same as Loren had expected at the beginning-deliberately putting the centaur within two hundred steps, not because the Byrne Knights were too arrogant, but to wipe out the enemy without leaving a living.
The advantage of the Byrne Knights lies in breakthrough and explosive power. A perfect charge can even defeat the heavy infantry phalanx; on the other hand, the long-distance attack and agility are much inferior.
On this unobstructed plain, once the Centaur uses their agility advantage to harass again and again, besiege without attacking, in fact, there are not too many options besides sticking to the position and advancing step by step.
So Tris Eckert decisively spread the line to attract the enemy, put the attacked enemy within two hundred steps, and defeated them with the advantage of Byrne Knight's charge; then the Rangers were in charge. Sweep away the remnants of the enemy, leaving no one behind.
This is not a "Knight spirit", it is based on a calm judgment of the current situation based on experience, and absolute confidence in the strength of Byrne Knight.
Even if you disperse and charge, you can completely defeat the enemy in just one round.
The scorching sun is settling down, and under the cloudless clear sky, the expansive grassland is stained with blood as bright red.
Byrne's reloaded Knights have already begun to return to the team, and only the Rangers on the Peak are still cleaning the battlefield, and by the way, the seriously injured and dying centaur is sent to see their ancestors.
On the other side, I don’t know where to appear. The Boys hussars holding the banner of the Varna family have also solved the centaur remnants that escaped. Grandiose’s arrival and Byrne’s main army Arrays converge.
They wore very uniform leather armor and overalls. Under the leather armor was a very simple and thin chain mail; the right hand held a short gun, and on the saddle there was a machete and four or five throwing spears. .
The cavalry who raised the flag and a few hussars who were in the forefront, dressed as officers, had a horn bow and a pot full of arrows on the left side of the saddle; the armor was also Obviously better, with more shoulder pads and large cloak.
Compared with the fully armed Byrne Knight, who can’t wait for the war horse to wear armor, these boys’ hussars are obviously more suitable for fighting on the prairie; their horses are slightly shorter. At one end, it is also more flexible than Byrne's horse.
After entering the battlefield, these hussars did not rashly rush into the center of the battlefield, or in front of the charge of the Byrne Knights; instead, they cruised in the peripheral zone of the melee, constantly shooting guns and Kill the lone centaur with a bow and arrow.
Until the main force of the Centaur was completely defeated, they finally drew out their sabers and short spears, and joined the battle from all directions with the Rangers. The battlefield was "swept away."
If it weren't for their presence, this raid would have been impossible so quickly, and it would have ended before the evening.
But these are not the issues that Loren is most concerned about right now.
Restricting the reins, Loren, who was slightly relaxed, squinted; not far away, the blood-stained Bosival Count was facing the flag-raising hussar, staring at each other with cold eyes.
"What's going on?"
"That...seems to be an offshoot of the Varna family, the patriarch Setter count of the Braha family." Eckert leaned forward. , Lightly sighed: "Also the uncle and brother-in-law of Bocival Count."
"Uncle and...Brother-in-law?" Loren looked confused.
"The process is very complicated, but... it was roughly the elopement between Bocival Count and Set's elder sister. Later, Seth Count also took advantage of his absence to please the elders of Mount Qiaofeng and put Bossy Val's elder sister also married back."
Eckert shook his head helplessly: "Since then, the two of them have become brother-in-law and brother-in-law."
" But you don’t need to worry about this, the Duke. Both of them are very afraid of their elder sister...so this kind of private relationship will not affect our relationship with Poy."
"..."Loren ·Torino.
Loren, who resisted the urge to roll his eyes, but didn’t want to interfere with the vassal’s "housework", stopped here and turned the topic aside:
"This Dorset count, Does he have a high position in Poi Duchy?"
"He is the confidant of the Grand Duke Varna and the lord Poi who most supports the re-election of the Varna family as the Duke." Eckert was slightly nodded, he listened. The meaning of Loren’s words:
“So, it’s really weird that he appears here-if the situation is really crisis as described by the Grand Duke Varna, this count should appear on the battlefield. It’s not the border between Boye and Byrne."
"And the centaur that just assaulted us..." Loren slightly frowned: "They were like expecting someone to show up here, only But didn't expect it will be us."
"Or rather than a patrol of more than a thousand people, but a fully organized Legion." Eckert count said solemnly, his eyes shifted. The leader of the hussar Xiang who quickly and Bosval drew his sword:
"I guess... Sete Braha count must have the answer you want to know, Duke."
Loren nodded: "Let the soldiers camp first. We have time to chat with these boys' "good brothers" about this war."
He always has a hunch, whether it is The Vault of Heaven is still the Grand Duke of Varna...Neither of them fully tells the truth about this war.
And... and Farnesis; if he really came to the east, would this war be inseparable from him?
If it’s true, then besides the Centaur, will I face thousands of grandiose boundless mutant monsters like Eboden or Broken Boundary Mountain; and by him" summon "come, the fallen Evil God?
The Battle of Eboden is enough to explain the problem-facing Evil God, even if it is just a "body", the number of troops without a giant dragon is meaningless and can only be overwhelmed.
Slowly looking back, Loren watched the battlefield gradually swept away in the distance, leaving only a series of corpses and blood soaked in the grass.
Icy bones, dried plasma... Centaur, Poye, and Byrne.
Either complete, or incomplete, or there is only a "bund" of "things" with no visible shape...
This centaur war has just been pulled It's just a corner of the curtain.
…………………………………………………………
It was not until nightfall that the soldiers finally relaxed their vigilance and began to station. Camp.
Compared with the Sackland people, the camp of the Bayern people is much "easy"; there are no temporary wooden fences and towers (on the grassland, this thing is also impossible to build), and You can't see the inner three floors and the outer three floors, filled with sharp wooden stakes and kerosene trapped horse pits.
The entire camp is surrounded by carts and a long trench is dug along the edge of the camp. The soldiers’ tents are arranged around a bonfire and arranged in a neat chessboard shape. ——Even these appeared after the silhouette of Sackland.
This made Loren who had visited Duanjieshan and saw the Legion camp in Sackland frown; although Byrne’s army is also well-disciplined, there is clearly no empire in logistics. Coming rigorously.
But this is all for the future.
Although the camp is very simple, and the long-distance has not prepared much logistics, the Knights of Byrne still warmly welcomed Boye’s brothers;
But these generous The hussars were even more enthusiastic than the Byrners, and did not treat each other as outsiders in the slightest. Even if the two parties met for the first time, they were as close as a family;
Loren also met Bosval’s "brother-in-law and uncle" in such a lively atmosphere, Val Seth Blaha count, a close friend of Duke Na.
This Setter count is even more "outrageous" and informal than his men. He rushed into the camp without waiting for the summons. Standing in front of Loren, he asked:
"Duke Byrne, how many people have you brought here this time?!"
