Engagement (End)

Now that the Viscount's safety was assured, Marvin turned his attention to the battlefield, where Verati's death provided him with an excellent opportunity.

At this moment, the First Legion's Personal Guard still had more than half of its troops remaining, and it still had a numerical advantage over Marvin's temporary Pikemen and the Bask Orphan Brigade.

But Verati didn't just die in battle. When the chaos began, the officers and veterans of his Personal Guard responded to him in time. Now, these people fell with him under the Golden Sunflower battle flag, which directly caused the entire Personal Guard Cavalry to become increasingly chaotic.

Marvin naturally wouldn't give up this advantage. He sent someone to find the Bask, Bask was also annoyed that he had missed the enemy and caused the Viscount to be attacked. After hearing Marvin's plan, he immediately slapped his thigh in approval.

Soon the two men led their troops into action. This operation was mainly led by Bask and his men, since Marvin's forces were already too weak.

On the other side of the battlefield, behind the battlefield, Victor was wiping his longsword. Seeing the small nicks on the blade, Victor rubbed them with his hands with heartache.

"Damn it, this guy is clearly wearing chainmail, so why is he also wearing a neck guard?"

The longsword in Victor's hand was a gift from Veronica. It wasn't really a proper battle sword, but more like a ceremonial sword. It was exquisitely crafted, with gilding on the spine and a ruby inlaid on the hilt.

Victor was very fond of this sword, and he brought it to the battlefield this time because he didn't think he would be fighting personally, but things didn't go as planned.

When he realized that his rear guard was about to be attacked, he immediately led his Personal Guard to rush over. In order to make it in time, he also ordered the Bask to go into battle lightly armed, discarding their outer plate armor and wearing only chainmail to intercept the Cavalry.

Fortunately, these young warriors did not disappoint. They ran at the speed of horses, with the force of Cavalry, and broke through the enemy cavalry's formation, successfully stopping them.

When the Personal Guard launched the attack, Victor used his greatbow to shoot the enemy cavalry commander from a distance of nearly 150 paces. However, perhaps because he hadn't used a bow and arrow in a long time, his hand was a little rusty, and the arrow that was originally aimed at the man's head only hit the warhorse's head.

Indeed, it was Victor who caused Verati's horse to suddenly fall to the ground. Victor recognized Verati's identity at a glance and wanted to kill him to decapitate the enemy's commander. Although he failed to kill him, it still had an effect, directly disrupting the enemy's rhythm and creating an opportunity for the Personal Guard to successfully launch an attack.

Victor then discovered that the officer he had shot off his horse was not dead. Instead, the officer had found his location, remounted his horse, and led dozens of his men to attack him.

When Verati charged over on horseback with a ferocious expression, Victor didn't have any suitable weapons at hand. Because of his mistake in shooting earlier, Victor abandoned his bow and arrow and instead drew his ceremonial sword, which was at least sharpened and could still be used as a weapon.

At the time, Victor only had a few guards by his side, along with the standard-bearer and his personal messenger. Even Michael and most of his guards were sent by him to the Bask Country to help with the battle.

The standard-bearer and the messenger wanted to pull Victor away and leave the guards to hold off the enemy, but Victor refused. If he left and the battle flag was captured or cut down, it would definitely have a negative impact on the front-line troops.

Moreover, Victor also wanted a chance to try out his new skill, the Transcendent Organ he had just completed. After Number One helped him with it, it took a long time to develop and complete.

The organ that Number One chose for him to become Transcendent Transformation was the pineal gland inside the brain. The Transcendent effect is that it can greatly enhance sensory sensitivity and responsiveness when needed.

Just then, an enemy came to test his blade on him, Victor wasn't going to waste the opportunity. Victor immediately used a psychological suggestion, which Number One had helped set up. With just a thought, he could activate the Transcendent effects of the pineal gland.

"Whoosh!" Victor instantly felt his hearing and vision greatly enhanced. He could even see the pores on Verati's face as he charged towards him, and he could hear Verati constantly muttering, "Lord Beck, we will definitely win!"

When he was only a few steps away from Victor, Verati straightened his chest, raised his spear, and thrust it toward Victor, confident that his spear would pierce the man's chest.

But Victor simply turned slightly to the side, his movement so natural, as if he were blown away by the wind that his lance had cut through, easily dodging the spear thrust.

Then Victor reached out and grabbed the lance, and Verati felt an unparalleled force surge from the lance.

He was thrown off his horse by Victor, who grabbed his spear. Victor jumped up while he was still in mid-air.

The last thing Verati saw was Victor waving his hand, and a longsword radiating golden light slashed towards him. Verati felt a chill on his neck and then completely lost consciousness.
