"Kill them all!"
Femi saw the Border Knights pouring out of the jungle.
Without wasting any more words, he gave the order.
The Hastings Imperial Knights turned their lances and charged toward the Border Knights.
Although the Border Knights led by Gudrian were all elite troops this time,
they were not foolish enough to engage the Imperial Knights in close combat and wear each other down.
After all, every Border Knight was a rare elite.
Gudrian still needed to preserve them to deal with the Evil God's army.
They already had the advantage of the terrain.
They could simply use ranged bows and crossbows to kill the enemy.

They aimed at the approaching Hastings Imperial Guard Knights and fired at once.
Each Alchemy Crossbow could shoot more than a hundred arrows at a time.
Moreover, there was a hollow section behind the head of every arrow.
Once an arrow struck its target, the hollow section would break apart.

Their warhorses moved
