In order to chase Ryan, Casto divided his army into two parts. He led part of the army into the canyon, while the remaining army killed the soldiers "abandoned" by Ryan on the battlefield.
This was to prevent him from being attacked when he entered the canyon and causing chaos in the army. However, in fact, he was not attacked during the entire process of entering the canyon. Even the stones and rolling logs were not for killing, but to separate Casto from his own army.
As long as Casto is not in his army, what will happen on the battlefield on the other side of the canyon is Harrington's final say. As long as he lets dozens or hundreds of people say that Casto is dead, then those troops who have no independent opinions at all and even have no grassroots officers will really think that Casto is dead.
Such news will make most soldiers confused, because after all, they do not have a God's perspective. They don't even know who is benefiting from the war. They can only see the individual soldiers in front of themselves, not even the direction behind them.
The sounds around them will make their judgment confused and they don't know what to do. When soldiers no longer focus on fighting, even a powerful army will fail.
The purpose of Ryan from the beginning was not to use the canyon to kill Casto, but to separate him from his army and make those thousands of people lose their command.
Of course, the only disadvantage of this method is that he must personally participate in the war. Once he fails, the war will be his failure.
At this moment, Casto still didn't know what was happening on the other side. He was surrounded by only 300 soldiers and 300 cavalry who had come before. At this moment, Ryan and the surrounding 200 people were surrounded in the center.
No matter what, he also understands his goal, which is Ryan.
"Ryan, surrender!"
Casto shouted loudly, and the next moment Gray beside him stretched out his hand and grabbed an arrow in his hand.
"Casto, I'm not sure who will lose yet."
"Attack!"
Casto glanced at the arrow with lingering fear, and then waved the sword angrily.
Bang bang bang!
Around Ryan, the Knight Retainers held up their shields to resist the enemy's sharp swords, with Deer Spirit blessing the shield. At the same time, several Bronze Knights began to use their own energy and blood to connect with all the people who practiced Deer Spirit Breathing Technique, guarding Ryan's position in the middle.
In the previous war between Viscount Miles and Viscount Dragoon, the losses on both sides were too tragic. This also resulted in the fact that among the three hundred knights who are now besieging Ryan, most of them are just Apprentice Knight, Formal Knight has less than twenty people, and Bronze Knight has only ten people.
The two hundred people around Ryan have all been blessed, and their physiques are not inferior to Apprentice Knight. It can be said that the difference between the two sides is not much different except for a slight number.
But in this war, Ryan had no extra strategies to smooth the numerical gap. He could only put the army in a defensive posture and look for opportunities.
It just depends... who gets anxious first.
"Master Casto, how about I come?"
Gray said beside Casto in a low voice like a wild beast roaring.
"Don't worry, wait for our soldiers to come."
Casto stabilized his heart, but as time passed, there was no movement except some painful howls from behind him.
He couldn't help but look to the rear and saw an army above the canyon throwing stones and rolling logs down, but it seemed that it was just to prevent his soldiers from approaching the stone hillside. However, if his troops were larger in number, these stones and logs would not cause any obstruction at all.
His soldiers should have cleared away the stones and wood piled up in the canyon and arrived early.
Casto's heart sank a little bit. He didn't know what was wrong with his army. Seeing Ryan who still didn't mess up the formation, he still got worried.
"Gray!"
The moment the words fell, the tall barbarian rushed out. He roared and restored the giant axe, splitting open the three soldiers in front of him in an instant. The blood and terrifying power caused a gap in Ryan's army in an instant. The surrounding soldiers looked at the arriving Gray in fear.
"I want to avenge my brother."
Brandt appeared in front of Gray. He held a sword and shield and stared calmly at Gray's angry eyes.
The majestic energy and blood in his body is inferior to Gray, but it is equally powerful. He has broken through to Silver Knight.
"Death!"
There was a flash of thunder and lightning on the giant axe, and Gray activated Barbarian's Might in his body at this moment. At this moment, Brandt seemed to be facing an ancient giant beast roaring at him. When he came back to his senses, the thunder giant ax had already appeared above his head.
Deer Spirit was humming. Under the influence of Knight Combat Technique, Brandt actually blocked the axe, but the thunder and lightning Blood-and-Qi Force wrapped around the giant ax made his whole body numb.
Brandt's chest kept rising and falling, and the knight's blood in him was boiling, vaguely forming a mighty stag, roaring angrily.
The violent energy and blood made Brandt, who had become Silver Knight, couldn't help but roar out. Then Knight's Greatsword slashed towards Gray. The collision between the giant ax and the long sword knocked away dozens of soldiers from both sides around him. The nearest Apprentice Knight even died as a result.
Speed, strength, the test of a knight's breakthrough is never pure talent, but the energy and blood gathered in the body day after day, year after year.
These Blood-and-Qi Force can help knights resist extraordinary power, and also give them extraordinary strength. The strength of Silver Knight can already fight head-on with powerful beings like Demon Mages. Their energy and blood can even block most spells. Their speed and agility can help them quickly get close to those physically weak Demon Mages.
When faced with many supernatural beings, one can see the knight's agility, skills, and various insights, but when faced with the same knight, these do not exist.
The fighting between knights is the most brutal. They all have majestic energy, strong defense and strength, which makes their fighting look extremely savage. The most primitive fighting makes them look like wild beasts, relying on instinct to decide the winner in a short time.
At this moment, this is the case between Brandt and Gray.
"You're hurt too much - too badly!"
Brandt roared, and even Gray's Barbarian Bloodline was suppressed at this moment. He saw a ferocious stag appearing in front of him, biting towards him. When the energy and blood boiled and the illusion disappeared, Brandt's Knight's Greatsword had already appeared in front of him.
Until the moment of death, Gray didn't understand why the knight in front of him could burst out his energy and blood multiple times, making the original Silver Knight's energy and blood equal to that of a Golden Knight at the last moment.
But he was still a seriously injured Golden Barbarian.
Why!
