The Fierce Battle on the Right Flank, Part Two
Seeing that his archers had suffered heavy losses and more than half of their troops had not yet fully demonstrated their power, the front-line commander of the Imperial Guard Legion was furious.
At this critical moment, failure to take timely measures could severely damage the morale of the soldiers. Therefore, the commander did not hesitate to issue the order:
"All soldiers, listen to my command! Advance ten paces!"
This decision was perfect—the number of steps they took was just enough to get them to the point where they would clash with the vanguard of the Northern Alliance Army.
At the command, the army sprang into action. In just a few steps, the vanguard of both sides clashed violently like lightning.
In an instant, swords flashed and clashed, the sounds of metal clashing and shouts of battle echoed through the sky; blood splattered everywhere, limbs flew everywhere, and the entire battlefield seemed to instantly transform into a hellish inferno.
Just as the fierce battle was raging, Count Colt decisively issued new orders.
The Northern Alliance Army quickly split into two large armies, one on the left and one on the right, and steadily advanced, bypassing the flanks of the Imperial Guard Legion.
Clearly, they were attempting to use this clever tactical deployment to create a pincer movement, thereby encircling the Imperial Guard Legion in one fell swoop.
Viscount Borey slowly lowered his telescope, gazing into the distance. He turned to Geis beside him and whispered, "Just as I expected, it really is that Colt personally commanding this battle."
Following Viscount Borey's gaze, Geis saw brightly colored military flags fluttering in the wind in the enemy camp directly ahead, embroidered with various patterns and symbols.
These military banners represent the gathering of at least three legions, including not only the powerful Iron Birch Family army, but also the private armed forces of other nobles.
With such a large and complex military force, it would have been difficult to effectively command and coordinate the actions of the various units without Colt's personal command.
Geis nodded, indicating his agreement with Viscount Borey's assessment.
Then, a glint of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he suggested to Viscount Borey, "Legion Commander, now that the traitor Colt has appeared on the front lines, this undoubtedly gives us an excellent opportunity."
Or how about I lead my Cavalry Regiment in a surprise attack?
Perhaps we can catch him off guard and capture or even kill him in one fell swoop!
This will surely throw the enemy into chaos, and we will be able to win this decisive battle!
Viscount Borey remained silent for a long while, seemingly lost in thought, perhaps secretly assessing the likelihood of Geis's success.
After a moment, Viscount Borey slowly raised his head, his sharp gaze sweeping across the battlefield, and then he said unhurriedly, "This is no easy task! Look at the enemy's formation; it's absolutely impenetrable."
This leaves your Cavalry with very little room to maneuver.
Furthermore, the enemy has not yet deployed its Cavalry. In my opinion, they have most likely left this fresh force in the rear to provide support.
At this moment, if you rashly launch an offensive, you will likely end up with nothing to show for your efforts.
Not only will we fail to achieve our objectives, but we will also needlessly deplete our valuable Cavalry strength.
Therefore, it might be wise to wait and observe how the situation develops before making a decision.
Even if you absolutely have to gamble with your Cavalry, you must ensure that doing so will yield a sufficiently high return.
At the very least, we have to find a way to break through the enemy's defenses for our allies so they can achieve a decisive victory!
After listening to Viscount Borey's analysis, Geis nodded a few times in agreement, then thoughtfully continued to gaze at the enemy camp standing ready in the distance...
As the left and right flanks of both sides truly engaged in combat, the entire battlefield instantly descended into chaos.
The two armies were like countless huge and heavy steel millstones, mercilessly crushing each other's soldiers, leaving a trail of blood in their wake, forming shocking rivers of blood.
Standing atop the high walls of Sykes County, Mora sat steadily on a specially made platform, looking down at the bloody and tragic battlefield below.
Although his body was trembling slightly involuntarily, the trembling did not stem from fear, but rather from an overwhelming and uncontrollable excitement—a glimpse of which could be seen in his face, which was distorted with excitement yet filled with a fanatical glow.
Hahahaha... That's the way to do it! Let's slaughter them all! Let's wipe out these damned Northlands traitors!
"And those nobles who dare to defy my orders and disobey my commands, shall also be wiped out!" Mora shouted with a hoarse laugh.
Just then, a soft, warm touch came, and a thick, soft fur cloak was quietly draped over Mora's shoulders.
He turned around abruptly and saw a beautiful figure standing quietly behind him—it was the woman he deeply loved— Audrey.
Mora gripped Audrey's hand tightly, her face beaming with excitement as she exclaimed, "Darling, look! Just as you predicted, the Northern Frontier Rebels have attacked us! This is wonderful!"
His voice was filled with joy and pride, as if he could already see victory in sight.
Then, Mora couldn't wait to share more good news. "What's even more exciting is that everything is proceeding smoothly and according to our carefully planned scheme!"
Lord Borei sent someone to contact me specifically to inform me that that wretched old man— Colt— has actually come to the front lines to oversee the battle as planned! Haha, this is going to be quite a show!
Mora was exceptionally excited at this moment, because after enduring immense combat pressure for so long, he had finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel.
The fact that this series of developments was so perfect undoubtedly put his mind at ease.
Audrey, who was standing to the side, knew all too well the hardships and difficulties Mora had been facing these days, so she was not surprised by his overjoyed reaction.
She gazed tenderly at the excited Mora and softly comforted her, "Don't worry, darling. Just leave the rest of the tasks to those experienced, battle-hardened Legion Commander."
After all, they were all veterans who had fought on the battlefield for many years, so they naturally knew how to advance the entire plan.
After a brief pause, Audrey added, "Especially Lord Hurst and his students, you have witnessed their prowess before."
With their strength, they will surely be able to break through the Northern Alliance Army's defenses, penetrate deep into enemy territory, and capture and kill Colt in one fell swoop!
Upon hearing this, Mora sat back down in her chair. "Yes, that's it. As long as we capture and kill Colt, we win."
Even if Blackwater City is captured and our retreat is cut off, as long as we defeat this Northern Frontier Rebels in front of us, victory will still be ours!
"We can't waste any more time. Let Kimberley's Legion get moving too. I still have my Personal Guard in Sextus County; we don't need his troops!"
With Mora's order, Kimberley's troops, who had been stationed outside the city as a Reserve Force, quickly sprang into action and rushed forward!
Surprisingly, this formidable army did not charge directly into the center or left flank of the enemy camp, but instead unexpectedly targeted the right flank.
This fresh force brought a glimmer of hope to the Imperial Guard Legion, which was already in dire straits and struggling to survive.
The morale of the Imperial Guard Legion soldiers, who were exhausted from the long battle, soared, and their scattered formations began to regain their order.
In Count Colt's eyes, the Imperial Guard Legion was only one step away from collapse!
Without hesitation, he ordered the White Earth City reserves to be deployed to the front lines, while Alex and Hawk also joined the battle.
At this moment, Count Colt was surrounded by a guard of less than a thousand soldiers.
With the emergence of two new formidable forces on the right wing, the two armies are now intertwined like a sandwich filling—layered and complex.
The entire battle situation became increasingly unpredictable and dazzling.
At that very moment, Labia's left-wing army suddenly broke apart, revealing an unusual movement: their previously well-organized and tightly packed formation crumbled.
Viscount Edmund was overjoyed at the sight, mistakenly believing that the enemy was already at its wit's end. He then impatiently ordered his men to keep a close watch on the enemy, attempting to press their advantage and crush them in one fell swoop.
Unfortunately, Edmund failed to notice a crucial detail—a small enemy force of about a hundred soldiers had quietly withdrawn from the melee on the left flank and was speeding towards the right rear of the Northern Alliance Army...
