Agason obviously saw Li Ang holding the flag. Seeing that Li Ang was heading towards the central battlefield, he was stunned for a moment, but then he led the army to turn around and followed Li Ang.

"Follow me!"

Li Ang held up the big flag and rushed quickly towards the battlefield where the main army formation and the Snake Worship Cult army were fighting.

Li Ang doesn't know Marius the Emperor's Last Words now, but he already understands Agason's mentality.

Because Agason asked him a few days ago...

"Your Majesty Li Ang, if... if His Majesty Marus passes away... how will you deal with the Bacchus Empire?"

Li Ang still remembers Agason's expression of hesitation and sadness at that time.

Agason deliberately attacked him while Snake Worship Cult's army was not yet destroyed, because Agason knew that once His Majesty Marus passed away, no one could stop Li Ang...

A few years ago, solving Red Death and killing tens of thousands of Snake Worship Cult's gangsters had given Li Ang a very high reputation in Bax's territory, and made Radiant Cross Knights reluctant to become enemies with Li Ang.

And this time, if Li Ang destroys Snake Worship Cult, Baxian will definitely fully agree with Li Ang's rule... So, does the empire still exist?

Therefore, Agason will launch an attack at the critical moment when Snake Worship Cult's army is about to be destroyed - this is the best opportunity. If Li Ang can be killed here in one fell swoop, of course it will be the best result. Even if it cannot be done, it is okay to use Snake Worship Cult's army to cause Li Ang's troops to suffer huge losses...

Li Ang certainly doesn't intend to let Agason get his wish.

He can accept losses, but he will never accept spending all his wealth here.

Agason wants to use Snake Worship Cult to weaken his own strength, but Snake Worship Cult may not be so obedient...

The troops of Agason are also the enemies of Snake Worship Cult!

"Go forward, break through the enemy formation all the way! Don't look back!"

Looking at the Snake Worship Cult army directly in front, Li Ang roared and increased the speed of Alice to the highest level.

Kloze quickly looked back. He and Risadiran had actually seen the problem on Li Ang's side, but their troops couldn't get away.

The heavy infantry are struggling to bear the impact of Snake Worship Cult's army, and the Noldor troops must continue to suppress Snake Worship Cult's long-range troops.

If we divide our forces to rescue Li Ang, the heavy infantry including Silver Hand will most likely be swallowed up by the Snake Worship Cult army.

"Sigismund, go and meet His Majesty... I can stop the enemy!"

Kloze greeted Sigismund beside him.

For him, Li Ang's safety is much more important than the outcome of this battle, and much more important than his own life and death...

Sigismund also glanced back and saw Li Ang holding a flag and rushing towards the large army. He shook his head. "No, Kloze, His Majesty does not need support... We should open the way for His Majesty!"

"Open the way?"

Kloze is a little confused.

Sigismund nodded fiercely and shouted loudly, "Brothers! Charge forward! Scatter their ax gun team!!"

Then, holding a big sword, he jumped out from above the shield wall of his own troops and was the first to pounce into the Snake Worship Cult army.

"Ha!!"

A strong general who takes the lead can always easily inspire the enthusiasm of the soldiers. Free Legion cheered up and stopped maintaining the military formation. Together with Sigismund, he began to pounce forward desperately.

--They all jumped out like Sigismund, and smashed their bodies directly into the ax gunners in the front row of Snake Worship Cult's army.

Kloze looked again at the direction Li Ang was coming from. Baxian was chasing Li Ang's guards.

At this time, he already understood the meaning of Sigismund.

It is true that we should not turn back to respond, because once we turn around, it will not only hinder Li Ang's progress, but also make the large force face attacks from both sides by Snake Worship Cult and Baxian.

Li Ang will be caught in the middle and will definitely be unable to withstand it.

Sigismund said that to clear the way for Li Ang, that is to say, he wanted to disperse the troops in the front row of Snake Worship Cult who were holding axes and guns and were the greatest threat to the cavalry, and create a gap in Snake Worship Cult's army formation to prevent Snake Worship Cult from forcing Li Ang's guards to stop.

If Li Ang can lead the guards to charge through the Snake Worship Cult army, it will be safe - his boss is not a weakling, he has the ability to charge and break the formation.

This is the most reasonable solution now.

Sigismund made the right decision to make his own decision this time!

"Death Squad!!"

Kloze shouted loudly, raised his sword, took two steps forward, and reached the front of Silver Hand's military formation.

"Charge!!"

More than three hundred Meitengheim Great Swordsman raised their swords together, faced Snake Worship Cult's military formation, and threw themselves in.

They are not the real Death Squad, and they do not have the outstanding sword skills of Frederi.

But they are all Death Squad members that Kloze is building, and they are all real Meitengheim heroes - the kind who never look back on the battlefield.

The charge of these heavy infantry looked very barbaric and tragic.

A large number of strong men jumped into the enemy formation with flying and heavy slashing postures. Their huge bodies and heavy armor overwhelmed a large number of enemies. Then, they allowed the enemy's ax blades to pierce into their bodies, and waved the war hammers or swords in their hands in a flurry.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the original battle of attrition, in which the losses on both sides were not too great, suddenly turned into an extremely fierce and violent melee!

When fighting in formation, if one party suddenly abandons the formation and launches a desperate charge, this will be the result.

Basically, they are trading lives for lives, or lives for space.

The warriors of Silver Hand and Free Legion are either Meitengheim macho men or former gladiators. Their skill and courage are undoubted. They are also the most suitable for this kind of hand-to-hand melee, but it is still difficult for them to stand firm in the crowded enemy group for more than five seconds.

The warriors who rush into the enemy's formation all use heavy weapons, either sledgehammers or two-handed swords. They can usually take away several enemies around them, but they themselves will also be penetrated by axes and spears.

They used their lives to create a gap filled with corpses and blood in the Snake Worship Cult formation.

"Again! Death Squad!!"

The first wave of attacks had already killed a bunch of enemies. Kloze called on the old guys around him to continue rushing forward, intending to cut down all the enemies holding axes and guns.

Sigismund led Free Legion and began to squeeze to both sides, leaving a path in the middle of the battlefield.

Kindness is a terrible force.

Meitengheim people all regard Li Ang as the benefactor who saved the country. At this moment, they use the most violent fighting to repay Li Ang's help.

Risadiran was leading the Noldor troops from the side, trying his best to suppress the long-range troops of Snake Worship Cult. Seeing this, he also realized the intentions of Kloze and Sigismund.

Kloze gave up their military formation and charged desperately, causing Snake Worship Cult's army to retreat step by step. A huge gap appeared in the middle of the battlefield. Silver Hand stood at the front of the gap and was still clearing the way forward.

On the side of the gap, several rows of Snake Worship Cult warriors retreated to the back and huddled together.

You can't fire any more arrows. The heavy infantry have been completely mixed up with Snake Worship Cult's army. If you fire any more arrows, it will easily injure friendly troops.

As the front row was repulsed, Snake Worship Cult's military formation became crowded and chaotic. The two sides were squeezed so densely that they could not move at all.

Risadiran has always been good at adapting to changes, and he immediately cooperated accordingly.

"Break into the enemy formation! Break through the enemy from both sides! Don't let those big guys look down on us!!"

Risadiran asked the elves to divide into two teams, holding swords and shields, and rushed into the formation from both sides of Snake Worship Cult's army, and continued to scatter Snake Worship Cult's troops so that Sigismund could separate a path in the middle of the battlefield.

Noldo Elves people actually care about their lives. If they could shoot arrows from behind, they would never go to the front row to face danger easily.

But cherishing life also depends on the circumstances.

While the tough guys from the friendly forces were fighting to the death, these Noldo Elvess were too embarrassed to watch - Noldo Elvess were bloody too!

Especially the tribe of Lord Aldarian, they will follow Lord Aldarian because they think Lord Aldarian is more bloody...

In addition, they pride themselves on being nobler than humans, and now that those big guys have sacrificed their lives in exchange for space, of course they cannot let humans look down upon them!

"Hoo! Drink!!"

Two Noldor families, one on the left and one on the right, broke into the enemy formation from both wings holding swords and shields.

They look relatively milder than the heavy infantry, at least they didn't throw themselves into the enemy group...

But the swords in their hands were not gentle at all. The skills of these Noldo Elves warriors were far from comparable to those of the Snake Worship Cult warriors. As soon as they came into contact, a group of people fell over.

However, there will definitely be a lot of casualties in a close-quarters battle, especially a chaotic battle with people everywhere...

Li Ang was advancing at full speed holding the flag. He had already seen his brothers clearing the way for him, and also saw the gap deliberately left by Kloze and Sigismund in the middle of the battlefield.

"Forward! Charge through them!!"

Li Ang's eyes were a little wet. He actually didn't expect that the brothers would create opportunities for him in this way.

He originally thought he was going to break through the enemy's formation with all his strength...

But this time, the brothers worked hard in advance.

Snake Worship Cult The axe-gunners at the front of the army have been killed and dispersed. Kloze is continuing to clear the way, and a passage has appeared in the middle of the battlefield.

Now, Li Ang and his guards, these two hundred cavalry only need to rush into the battlefield at full speed, and then keep moving forward to penetrate Snake Worship Cult's troops!

"All troops forward!"

As he rushed past the heavy infantry, Li Ang shouted all the way.

In fact, everyone already knows what to do - since Li Ang has been holding the battle flag all the way, then of course others must follow the direction of the battle flag.

Agason, who had been chasing behind Li Ang, laughed bitterly, but then firmly pointed his sword at the Snake Worship Cult army.

"Forward! Charge!"

Li Ang's troops advanced all the way and had already broken into the Snake Worship Cult army.

And Baxian also rushed in front of the Snake Worship Cult army.

Agason wanted Snake Worship Cult's army to weaken Li Ang's troops, but Li Ang led his troops into the enemy formation, but Agason had to deal with Snake Worship Cult's army together - Snake Worship Cult's people thought that Agason's troops were the rear army of Li Ang.

The technical level of Snake Worship Cult samurai is indeed broken, but they also have extraordinary fighting spirit and determination when facing desperate situations. At this time, they made the same choice as Li Ang - to penetrate forward.

It's just that Li Ang is heading south, and they are heading north.

This battle has become a bit strange...

All the troops on the battlefield were determined to fight to the death, but none of the troops achieved the desired results.

Li Ang's troops finally broke through Snake Worship Cult's troops and penetrated out from the south of the battlefield.

Snake Worship Cult caused huge losses to Li Ang's troops, penetrated Agason's troops, and rushed out from the north of the battlefield.

Most of the troops brought by Agason were killed and scattered under the impact of Snake Worship Cult, and very few survived.

At the same time, just after Li Ang penetrated Snake Worship Cult's troops, Emperor Marius's battle flag appeared on the other side of the battlefield.

This is of course not Marius himself, but Alina.

Alina and General Ivaylo rushed here with a large force from Imperial Port.

Alina originally brought Imperial Port's troops to cooperate with Li Ang to attack Snake Worship Cult. They did not know what Agason did... If Agason did not appear, press According to the original plan, Li Ang should now continue to remotely suppress the Snake Worship Cult army, and General Ivaylo would lead Imperial Port's troops to flank the Snake Worship Cult army from behind - this would have been an easy encirclement and annihilation battle.

But now, Snake Worship Cult's troops have left the battlefield from the north, and Imperial Port's army has missed.

The outcome of this battle was not what Li Ang wanted, because his troops suffered undue heavy losses in this battle.

This is not what Agason wants, because Li Ang is still alive and has not been injured.

This is also not what Alina and Ivaylo want, because Snake Worship Cult's troops ran away!

This is a result that leaves everyone unsatisfied...

But this battle is not over - Snake Worship Cult's troops went north!

Li Ang certainly knows where they are going...

Lake Alaclay.

But now, all the way north from here, there is a military vacuum zone, and almost no troops can stop Snake Worship Cult!

Li Ang doesn't want to know what will happen if Snake Worship Cult's army enters Noldo Forest...

However, the brothers have just fought an extremely difficult battle, especially the large troops fighting on foot. They are all scarred and exhausted, and now they really have no strength to pursue...

Except Li Ang's Guards.

The two hundred or so members of the guard had been riding horses and had not participated in the battle before they met Agason. Moreover, they did not encounter the most difficult spear and spear resistance when they broke through Snake Worship Cult's army. The losses were not too great and they had enough physical strength to try to delay - if they could hold back Snake Worship Cult's troops, Alina and Ivaylo's large troops might catch up.

"Wendy, go tell Alina that I will try to hold the enemy back and let her pursue her immediately. Snake Worship Cult's large army must be eliminated here!"

Li Ang turned his horse around and looked back in the direction he came from. "Brothers, do you still have the strength?"

The members of the guard looked at each other.

"Noldo Territory has no troops now... Brothers, we cannot let Snake Worship Cult's troops escape to the north!"

Li Ang raised the battle flag again. "Those who are not afraid of death, come with me..."

The banner of New Pendor returns again.

At this time, a team of more than a dozen people slowly gathered on the side of the battlefield.

Agason is still here.

His troops have been scattered by Snake Worship Cult, and he himself has been injured, but he is still alive.

There were only a dozen Iron Ring Centurion left around him.

"Li Ang..."

Agason saw Li Ang who was chasing after him, and immediately rushed towards Li Ang with Iron Ring Centurions.

A dozen Iron Ring Centurion all held broad-bladed throwing spears in their hands.

These people's targets were too small. The battlefield was full of corpses, wounded, and wandering ownerless horses. Li Ang failed to notice them this time...

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

"Li Ang!!"

"Asshole!"

Several voices sounded from all directions at the same time.

More than a dozen throwing spears drew parabolas in the sky...

Several feather arrows were also shot from different directions.

While a throwing spear knocked Li Ang from his horse to the ground, an arrow also spanned a hundred meters and penetrated Agason's chest.
