Gospel of Blood

Chapter 285: 136- Charge

Views:

The two armies joined forces and the offensive and defensive battle soon began.

The wall of the village, which already had several gaps, was no longer able to resist the attack of the coalition forces. Under the leadership of the extraordinary nobles, the vanguard troops quickly rushed into the camp.

The melee broke out inside and outside the village wall.

There was no gunfire, no smoke, only crowded crowds, roars of fighting, flying arrows, and the flashing power and magic of the extraordinary people.

After climbing up the village wall, the nobles who possessed extraordinary powers looked like monsters with magical powers.

Except for the extraordinary ones among the rebels, almost no one can stop them.

Standing on the hill, Charlotte could see the battlefield clearly. It could be said that... the coalition forces had an overwhelming advantage.

This was not because the coalition forces had more people, but because there were too few extraordinary people in the rebel camp, and they were simply unable to compete with the northern nobles who were at the forefront.

Although she knew that her side was obviously stronger than the rebels, Charlotte still felt a little surprised when she saw the nobles sweeping away the rebels almost like a massacre after entering the camp.

However, considering the upcoming "fishing" plan, she could probably guess what was going on.

I'm afraid that all the extraordinary people and nobles in the rebel army have been mobilized to the main cavalry force of the Laiglis family.

It is almost a foregone conclusion that the camp will be captured and the rebels inside will be eliminated.

However, Charlotte's mind was no longer on the offensive and defensive battle below.

She looked into the distance, looking for the direction where the rebel cavalry might appear.

If there is anything else that might be worrying about, it is probably whether there are some powerful extraordinary people hidden among the main cavalry forces of the rebels, posing a threat to their side.

Especially... that black dragon.

The black dragon was able to defeat Sebastian at the time. Even if it had not reached the Blazing Sun level, it must have been at the peak of the Silver Moon level.

If it appeared on the battlefield, it would probably cause considerable trouble for the coalition forces.

There are still too few high-end combat forces on her side, and although she can cheat, it is not appropriate to expose it in front of so many troops.

Unless... you use someone else's identity to do it.

After thinking about it, Charlotte finally decided to target her own housekeeper.

"Sebastian, watch the battlefield. If the black dragon shows up soon, you must join the battle immediately. If necessary... you can mobilize more powerful forces."

Charlotte said cryptically.

Sebastian's heart moved slightly, and he immediately understood what she meant, and nodded respectfully:

"Yes, Master."

At this time, looking at the battlefield completely in chaos, Baron Angus on the side also stepped forward and said in a deep voice:

"My Lord, the offensive and defensive battle has reached its climax. Do we need to have Lord Gaston send a signal to lure the main force of the rebel cavalry into attacking?"

Charlotte looked at the coalition forces that had surrounded the village wall and were caught in a melee due to the rebels' delay, and nodded:

"Send it."

Following Charlotte's order, a red magic elemental bullet with a long tail flame and a shrill long sound rushed into the sky.

Charlotte immediately perked up her nerves, her eyes fixed towards the rear of the camp.

Now that there are no more levies, you can spend time recruiting more, and destroying the rebels' elite cavalry will be considered a true victory.

Whether this battle can wipe out the main force of the rebels in one go depends on whether the rebels are fooled.

The sound of elemental bombs echoed throughout the battlefield.

However, there was no movement behind the rebels.

One minute passed...

Two minutes passed...

Three minutes later...

Just as Charlotte's brows began to furrow, wondering if the rebels had sensed something was wrong and had not fallen into her trap... the ground began to shake.

The initial shock was not strong.

But as time went on, the vibrations became more and more intense, and along with them came loud rumbling sounds like raindrops.

That was the sound of cavalry charging.

Charlotte's heart moved, and she immediately looked towards the source of the vibration and sound, only to see smoke rising on the horizon behind the camp.

Then, a cavalry unit wearing chain mail and flying the flag of the Legris family appeared in Charlotte's sight.

They are the elite main force of the Glis family!

Charlotte perked up.

However, as the sound of horse hooves became louder and louder like raindrops, and as more and more cavalry appeared on the horizon, Charlotte's expression gradually became serious.

Nothing else.

The troops that appeared on the horizon were not just the famous Castel cavalry of the Lygris family.

That massive army was definitely more than just the 3,000 cavalrymen from Glis, but a cavalry corps of no less than 10,000 people!

In addition to the flag of the Legris family, Charlotte also saw several flags she had never seen before.

The flags were all black, with some animal-like totems painted on them. The cavalrymen gathered under these flags were mostly wearing light armor and wielding long sabers in their hands.

Seeing these cavalrymen, Baron Angus's expression changed slightly:

"It's the Hussars from Isaac's tribe in the north!"

"These rebels... even received help from the Grand Duchy of the North!"

The Grand Duchy of the North

Charlotte frowned, not understanding why this northern neighbor had gotten involved.

She glanced at the cavalry hiding under the hills that had not yet joined the battlefield, compared the numbers of both sides, and quickly estimated that the rebel cavalry was probably more than three times her own.

This result made Charlotte feel a little depressed, and she suddenly felt unsure about the upcoming battle.

"Sir Angus, can you beat him?"

She couldn't help but ask.

Baron Angus hesitated for a few seconds and said:

"If we rely on a surprise attack, victory should still be possible. After all, Lord Gaston brought elite troops with him, with a high proportion of extraordinary soldiers, while the hussars of the Northern Grand Duchy are mostly ordinary soldiers..."

"But annihilation... probably won't be possible."

After hearing what Baron Angus said, Charlotte sighed and said:

"It doesn't matter if you can't do it. As long as you can win, it's fine. After all, no one expected that the rebels would get help from the North..."

"Send the signal and have Gaston attack as well."

"Yes, sir."

Angus replied respectfully.

Following Charlotte's order, the signal was quickly sent.

On Castel's side, the cavalry composed of the elite regular troops of the Earl of Tulip and the northern nobles and knights also went out in full force, flying the flag of Bold and charging towards the battlefield.

Seeing the "Bold Cavalry" charging towards the battlefield, the main cavalry of the rebels became obviously more motivated.

However, the rebel cavalry at the front soon fell into turmoil.

There was no other reason, because after the "Bold Cavalry" rushed to the battlefield, they did not rush towards the coalition forces, but rushed straight towards them.

More than 4,000 armored cavalry formed a cone array and rushed towards the rebels.

And soon, Charlotte's eyes widened in surprise.
