Pursuit and Slaughter
Upon seeing Victor covered in blood, Benjamin's expression shifted slightly, and he asked directly.
"Victor, can you still fight?"
"Of course, I just finished warming up."
"Very good, change into a new set of armor and come with me."
Soon, the two Iron Knights ran to Victor and helped Victor put on a set of Iron Knight Armor. They originally intended to give Victor...
Victor offered to change his horse, but Grape resisted. After some Grape, Victor simply had them put the vest on Grape.
Viscount Benjamin looked at Victor, who had already changed into his armor, and simply nodded.
"The battle must continue. Let's set off."
Viscount Benjamin continued to lead his Heavy Cavalry in a wall formation to drive the Barbarians soldiers away, forcing them to flee south from the open space on the right side of the fortress. By this time, the entire northern Barbarians camp was in complete chaos due to the fire, and with a large number of Centurion and other officers being deliberately killed, the Barbarians troops here had completely lost their organization.
At this time, the Barbarians camp on the south side had discovered the abnormality in the camp on the north side, and a large number of Barbarian Cavalry attempted to provide support from both sides of the fortress.
However, the Barbarians defeated soldiers on the right blocked the valley. Their morale had completely collapsed, and it was like a riotous roar that could not be stopped.
A Barbarians Centurion shouted orders for them to make way while whipping his Barbarians soldiers, but none Barbarians them obeyed.
At this moment, a Legion Commander drew his sword and killed a fleeing soldier with a single blow. He then rode up to the Centurion and slapped him across the face.
"If the whip is no good, don't we still have knives? Quickly get rid of these cowardly wretches and clear the way for me."
"Yes, Legion Commander."
The Barbarians soldiers began to clear the routed soldiers with their weapons. Slowly, stimulated by the swords and blood, the routed soldiers regained their senses and ran to both sides of the valley to make way.
However, it was too late. The Heavy Cavalry had already formed ranks, and when the Barbarian Cavalry passed the routed soldiers, they saw a wall of Iron Knights charging towards them.
The Barbarian Cavalry had no choice but to bite the bullet and rein in their horses to block their path.
When they clashed with the Heavy Cavalry of the Second Legion, engaging in close combat with unarmored short weapons against spears and heavy armor, they were instantly slaughtered, their men and horses falling in disarray.
The entire valley was filled with the sounds of fighting and shouting.
The Barbarians reinforcements were unable to stop the overwhelming Heavy Cavalry force, and soon collapsed and scattered, rushing towards their own camp along with the previously routed soldiers.
Meanwhile, the Barbarians troops coming to reinforce from the left valley were blocked by the burning camp. Captain Marvin and his men pushed a large amount of flammable material onto the left camp, making it impossible for the Barbarians troops to enter the camp and battlefield from the left.
After Victor charged into the Barbarians camp with the Heavy Cavalry, thousands of fleeing soldiers had completely destroyed the camp's order.
Everyone was fleeing for their lives. The cattle, horses, and sheep accompanying the army were terrified and ran amok. The fleeing soldiers and the fortresses together divided the Barbarian Cavalry, making it impossible for them to regroup.
The Legion Commander and his remaining men had just tried to hold off Victor and his men with their lives, in order to buy time for the other troops in the camp to assemble.
Victor killed several men with a single thrust of his hand. Some Barbarian Cavalry tried to launch a sneak attack while he was still holding his spear to his men.
However, Victor swiftly drew his sword from his left arm and cleaved his upper body to the ground with a single strike. The combination of the Combat Assistance System and his superhuman strength allowed him to easily exploit his opponent's weaknesses, inflicting maximum damage and rendering them unable to fight.
Then Victor leaped forward on his horse, charging through the encirclement of Barbarians, using his spear to deflect the swords aimed at his horse's hooves, and roared, "Die!"
The Legion Commander, who was slaying the herdsmen blocking his way with his sword, turned around unexpectedly and saw a long spear getting closer and closer to his pupils, feeling a chilling killing intent.
He tried to defend himself with a knife, but it was too late.
"Thud!" The Legion Commander's chest was pierced by Victor's spear. Victor stretched out his arms and lifted him off the horse. Grape also used the momentum to jump up.
All the Barbarians soldiers who were still resisting saw this scene: their Legion Commander was impaled in mid-air, and the knight swung his lance, spraying blood all over the ground before his mangled body crashed to the ground.
The Cavalry behind Victor rushed forward and swarmed in, completely breaking through the Barbarians' psychological defenses. The entire camp was left without any force capable of putting up a resistance.
At this moment, the soldiers of the Second Legion still did not stop. Many of the Heavy Cavalry's mounts had collapsed from exhaustion, and these soldiers dismounted directly, becoming Walking Knight and charging alongside the column.
Viscount Benjamin shouted at everyone.
"Soldiers, we are about to win. Now I need you to charge with me one last time. Are you ready?"
"Yes!" Everyone, including Victor, responded loudly.
"My lord, let us charge again!"
"Okay, follow me."
Benjamin spurred his horse forward, leading his troops out of the Barbarians camp and into the valley on the left.
At this moment, the Barbarian Cavalry in the valley on the left was trying to return to their camp. When they saw the Heavy Cavalry coming out of the camp, they did not back down but chose to fight head-on.
"; kill!";
"Kill them!"
The two armies clashed head-on, their battle cries echoing across the battlefield.
Because the Heavy Cavalry's charge speed was not high enough and their impact was somewhat insufficient, the two armies were locked in a stalemate for a while after clashing.
As the subsequent columns of Heavy Cavalry passed the front ranks, they smashed open the Barbarian Cavalry's formation like hammer blows, creating a huge gap.
Victor rode with his troops to the rear of the Barbarian Cavalry. When they turned their horses around and charged the Barbarian Cavalry again, the battle was essentially over.
At five o'clock in the morning, as the sky gradually brightened, the shouts and chopping sounds throughout the valley gradually faded away.
Victor sat panting on his horse, surrounded by the corpses of Barbarians soldiers. Blood was constantly flowing from the edge of Grape's vest. Victor felt that he was soaked through, but he didn't know whether it was from sweat or blood.
At this moment, Victor saw Ron, who led a troop of Cavalry to find Victor. Seeing that Victor was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Take off your armor, your body might not be able to hold it up." After saying that, Ron walked over to Victor and removed his armor.
When the blood-stained armor was thrown to the ground, Victor felt a momentarily cooler, but soon Ron grabbed a felt cloth and draped it over him.
"Don't take it off. If it gets blown by the wind at this time, it's easy to catch a cold. I've seen many brave soldiers fall victim to this disease."
Victor realized that Ron was referring to the armor-removing style from his previous life, and unconsciously tightened his felt blanket.
"We've won!"
"Yes, we have won!"
