Time goes back to two hours ago.

The armies of Ryan and Barnes had already passed Carmelan River. After walking more than halfway, at the request of Ryan, the army stopped again for repairs.

Barnes was a little dissatisfied, but still stopped.

Immediately afterwards, Ryan sent out hundreds of knights. As knights continued to return, the army advanced at a slow speed.

After walking for an hour and a half, Ryan's scout finally brought him news.

"Lord, we found a large number of soldiers on the western periphery of Ice Peak Forest. They have flags of thunder and mountains, from Count Weiss's Territory."

"Lord, the armies of Viscount Miles and Viscount Dragoon have begun a war, and the army of Viscount Miles is at a disadvantage."

Ryan listened to this news and understood Viscount Miles's plan.

"This viscount seems to have stood by the count's side. Even Zero Crossing Prefecture's wealth can be taken out."

"This is to use Count Weiss to fight against Viscount Dragoon. It seems that our Lord Sheriff also knows that after his death, his successor will not be Viscount Dragoon's opponent."

"The empire gives up Northwind Province, Zero Crossing City, and it is very likely that it will change hands."

"He can only make this decision, join Count Weiss, and use the count's prestige and army to ensure the glory of the Miles Family."

Ryan laughed.

"Then our chance has come."

Half an hour later, Ryan appeared on the outskirts of the battlefield. He looked at the gentle slopes on both sides of the valley, which could only be called hills. The only thing in Ice Peak Forest that could be called a mountain was the towering Snow Mountain.

"How dare you start a war in such a place and give up your superiority just to give the cavalry a good place to charge?"

In Ice Peak Forest, that valley is the only place without trees. It is precisely because of this that the two viscounts chose the battlefield there, because if it were in the Forest, the advantage of the cavalry would be completely gone.

And what they relied on was the lethality brought by the cavalry's charge.

Ryan led the people to the high mountains little by little. Under the sun, he could see the battlefield below. Thousands of soldiers were fighting and falling, as well as the seventy or eighty tall figures in Count Weiss's army.

"Is this... a soldier created by extraordinary means?"

Ryan looked at those tin cans swinging their giant axes like barbarians, hacking down the soldiers in front of them. Even Silver Knight Baron Enzo was retreating steadily in front of the giant axe.

In less than two quarters of an hour, nearly half of the army belonging to Viscount Dragoon had been defeated, and the rest were the unlucky ones who still didn't know what happened.

"To defeat all magic with one force, Count Weiss is really ambitious."

Ryan said, and raised the Python Tendon Bone Bow in his hand. This is the material left by Frost Serpent. Ryan asked Mage Luna to help him build a hard bow.

His strength, with the help of two Knight Breathing Technique, is no less than Silver Knight. The powerful force pulls the full bow, and the sharp arrow appears in front of the barbarians dozens of meters below.

Putting down the bow and arrow, Ryan stared at the fallen barbarian. He did not have the powerful vitality he imagined, which made him sigh in relief. Then he turned his eyes and saw Baron Enzo whose face was covered with blood.

"Mr. Barnes, do you dare to charge together?"

Ryan said to Baron Barnes next to him without turning his head.

Barnes glanced at the gentle slope in front of him, which was almost thirty or forty degrees, swallowed, and shook his head hard.

"Then..."

Ryan pulled out his Knight's Greatsword and pointed it at the sky. Under the sunlight, his shadow was gradually pulled to the battlefield below, attracting the attention of many people.

"Soldiers, tell them whose flag will be planted on this land!"

"Ryan!!!"

"Ryan!!!"

"Ryan!!!"

Thousands of soldiers roared with enthusiasm, and the sound resounded throughout the battlefield. Many soldiers below reacted in horror. Then they saw the rhinoceros horn-like flags waving on the side of the hillside, and then rushed towards them along the trajectory of the hillside.

Seeing the arrival of the army that looked like divine soldiers from heaven, both the soldiers of Viscount Dragoon and the soldiers of Viscount Miles were terrified. They had been fighting on the battlefield for a long time, and now they had no power to resist the newly arrived army.

"Kill!"

Ryan didn't know how many cavalrymen behind him fell off their horses while rushing down, nor did he know how many infantrymen could follow behind him. He moved forward bravely, and the tall war horse under him came in front of the barbarians. He waved the long sword in his hand condescendingly and chopped off the heads of the enemies in front of him.

These monsters are indeed very powerful, but their slowness is their Achilles' heel.

"In the name of the stag, grant us the sharpness of our weapons!"

Ryan was roaring, the energy and blood in his body boiling, fighting energy flowed on the surface of the knight sword in his hand, and then he slashed straight ahead.

The next moment, the giant ax in the hand of the tall barbarian in front of him was cut off by his long sword, and even his head wrapped in an iron can was not spared.

"Kill!"

Behind Ryan, a knight rushed out. The Knight's Lance in their hands was spread with the edge of Knight Combat Technique Spear of Heroic Spirits, penetrating through the barbarians in front of them.

This Saint Realm-tier and other Knight Combat Technique blossomed at this moment with its absolute power. More than a hundred cavalry carried the power of charge, cutting through the entire battlefield, and then began to mercilessly harvest the lives of soldiers on both sides.

Ryan Are you worried that the soldiers of the two viscounts will besiege you? Of course I was worried, but in such a chaotic battlefield, both sides could not pass on their orders at all. Even after Ryan arrived, there were still many Viscount Miles soldiers fighting with Viscount Dragoon soldiers.

"Kill!"

Ryan pulled the reins of the war horse. In pain, the horse jumped up high and dodged the giant ax that came across. Then the iron hoof fell and kicked the barbarian to the ground. Ryan lowered his waist and cut off the opponent's head.

On the hillside behind, Baron Barnes saw the advantage on the battlefield below, and saw the opportunity to let his soldiers rush down. He has not forgotten that the interests between himself and Ryan must be distributed according to merit.

Ryan gradually stopped fighting and stopped in the middle of the valley panting. Looking at the corpses around him, he instinctively wanted to vomit, but the boiling blood made him extremely excited, and he suppressed the discomfort.

In the front, the real general has led the Ryan army to kill the Viscount Miles army. There are only more than a thousand troops, but they are chasing and killing soldiers several times his own.

They shouted the glory of Ryan, and also called for the promised houses, land, and tax-free rights, beating thousands of defeated soldiers into panic.
