The night was dark.
Earl Nicole looked in the direction of Bailu City in the distance, and asked the adjutant beside him:
"How long will it take to reach Bailu City?"
"My lord, according to our current speed, it will take about three hours." The adjutant thought for a while and then asked, "Do you need to speed up the march?"
"No." Earl Nicole immediately refused, "There are 100,000 Celestial Horse Legion in Bailu City, and they have the advantage of location and have been prepared for a long time, so it is impossible for them to be defeated by the Blood Cavalry Army in such a short period of time.
We don't need to worry, just hold the formation and advance slowly. "
"yes!"
While speaking, there was a sudden commotion from the left wing of the army, Earl Nicole frowned and ordered:
"Stop advancing!"
Seeing this, the adjutant carefully reminded: "Lord Earl, it seems that a small group of Blood Cavalry troops are attacking, intending to slow down our advance."
"I know." Count Nicole nodded, "Send someone to check the situation, just in case."
"Yes." The adjutant was a little helpless. He actually wanted to hint to Earl Nicole not to be delayed by the harassment of the blood cavalry army, but he didn't expect...
However, the adjutant could understand Earl Nicole's mentality.
This time, the Duke of St. Pros issued a call-up order, asking the lords to lead an army to surround Bailu City and block the retreat of the Blood Cavalry Army.
Although the lords followed suit, they were actually a little cautious.
Just like Earl Nicole, he actually knew that the Blood Cavalry Army continued to send small groups of troops to harass them in order to slow down the speed of the lord's coalition forces, but Earl Nicole just pretended to be stupid and dawdled outside the city.
The reason is also very simple, he doesn't want his army to face the terrifying Blood Cavalry.
The news that the Velvet Army had been wiped out by the 3,000 Blood Cavalry Army had spread to the south of the Althias Mountains. When Earl Nicole first received the news, he was absolutely unwilling to believe it.
But as the news was confirmed, Earl Nicole had the idea that the Blood Cavalry Army was invincible.
The same is true for the other lords who accepted the call-up order from the Duke of St. Pros. The fiasco of the Tinder Army completely destroyed their confidence.
If the three thousand blood cavalry army is so terrifying, what about the main force of the blood cavalry army in Bailu City
Therefore, these Eastland lords hope to let the Pegasus Legion, and even the people in the Eastland in Bailu City, consume the strength of the Blood Cavalry Army. Earn some military exploits.
As for whether this would cause heavy damage to the Pegasus Legion, ruin Bailu City, or even allow the Blood Cavalry Army to find a chance to break through and evacuate, Earl Nicole and the other eastern lords actually didn't care.
What they care more about is their own family's army, which is the foundation of their foothold.
The Duke of St. Pros had already expected this, so he made a big promise to the lords who came to support them.
For example, Earl Nicole, the Duke of St. Pross promised him that if the main force of the Blood Cavalry Army can be wiped out in this battle, then the title of the Nicole family can be raised to another level.
The earl raised it further, but it was the marquis!
Generally speaking, the four major dukes seldom canonize the marquis, except for the illusory title given to their first heirs.
After all, the territory required to canonize a marquis is too large, and the dukes are reluctant to let their vassals control such a huge power.
That is to say, only a famous general like Garcia, who came from the St. Hilde family and made countless military exploits, can be granted the title of Marquis.
Earl Nicole never thought that one day he would be able to compete with Marquis Garcia, but even such a temptation could not offset his fear of the Blood Cavalry Army.
In fact, if the Duke of St. Pros could appoint someone with enough trust and prestige to be the military supervisor, these lords would not be so dawdling.
But the problem is that the Duke of St. Pros can no longer send anyone.
He certainly couldn't leave Bailu City himself. As for the eldest son, Marquis Vincent, he hadn't fully gained his trust at that time.
The second son, Earl Evan, was not around, and even the youngest daughter Anna didn't know where to go.
Others are not qualified to calm down the scene.
In desperation, the Duke of St. Pros could only appoint Earl Nicole as the interim commander of the coalition forces of the lords.
But judging from the current situation, he seemed to have overestimated the courage of Earl Nicole.
Moreover, he also misjudged the real target of the Blood Cavalry Army's attack on Bailu City this time—
Not the Hall family, but himself!
…
The twilight of the morning light is slowly revealed from the east, bit by bit gently but firmly tearing apart the dark night.
Count Nicole woke up from his doze. He rubbed his eyes and thumped his back.
The old earl who was over sixty suddenly felt that he could no longer adapt to military career.
In fact, if the promise made by the Duke of St. Pross was not too tempting, Earl Nicole was really not prepared to lead the army himself.
Just as he was stretching his body, suddenly, the ground seemed to shake.
Countless rumbling sounds came from afar, like spring thunder exploding, and like surging waves.
Earl Nicole's expression changed, and he immediately shouted:
"The whole army stops advancing! Formation is ready to meet the enemy!"
As soon as the order was handed down, Earl Nicole saw countless black shadows suddenly appearing on the horizon, filling the entire land without a single gap, and even the rising sun that had just emerged was covered by this black tide.
All of a sudden, the sky and the earth changed color.
Earl Nicole felt that his heart was tightly clenched by a big hand, and he couldn't breathe at all.
Is this the Blood Cavalry Army
"Raise the shield!"
"It's a gun!"
"Archers ready!"
…
Due to the slow marching speed and the psychological preparation, the response speed of the lord's coalition forces was very fast.
But even if they had a complete defensive formation, facing the surging blood cavalry army at this moment, they couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.
Nearly 20,000 elite cavalry launched a group charge. Those who have not personally experienced such a scene will never be able to imagine it.
That kind of impact, that kind of pressure, is enough to make anyone terrified.
Facing the large coalition forces of the lords, the Blood Cavalry Army did not choose any temptations. It was a group charge without fancy.
Because the Logue knight has absolute self-confidence.
This night, the Blood Cavalry Army was actually keeping a watch on the lord coalition forces outside the city, and they continued to send small groups of troops to harass them.
Therefore, the trial has already been going on.
Moreover, the results of the feedback made the Logue Knight even a little disappointed.
That's it
Even though he had expected the weakness of the eastern border army, he never expected that they would collapse to such an extent.
Moreover, the Logue knights saw at a glance that these lords simply did not have the courage to fight to the death with the Blood Cavalry Army.
Therefore, in the face of such an enemy, the Logue knight decisively chose the most direct and brutal attack method—
Go up!
The turbulent cavalry rushed into the formation of the coalition forces of the lords of the eastern border with unstoppable momentum like a sharp arrow that left the string.
As if a red-hot blade was inserted into butter, the seemingly neat and complete infantry formation was actually vulnerable, and a hideous gap was torn open in an instant.
Countless soldiers of the Eastern Realm who had been beaten in a daze were weeping and crawling, trying to escape from the army of demons that seemed to have climbed up from hell in front of them.
This is not a level of opponent at all.
There is no need to fight at all!
The gap became bigger and deeper, and soon became a passage through the entire army formation.
After breaking through the coalition formation, the Blood Cavalry didn't intend to stay, and went straight to the north.
All that was left was a messy coalition camp in the east, and a group of utterly frightened lords of the east.
