When he heard the order conveyed by the communication mage, John was startled. He thought that the mage was wrong, but the sound of the horn proved that the mage was right.
Commander Jonathan will personally lead the cavalry of the Altia Empire to launch a charge against the association's Swarm. Isn't this suicide?
One hundred thousand Altia Empire expeditionary force, 50,000 of which are cavalry, 20,000 have followed Ymir Earl to entangle the enemy's right wing Swarm. The remaining 30,000 will be led by Commander Jonathan, and together with 20,000 highlanders attack the core of the association.
The infantry is all given to Prince Arthur, who decides how to use it. If the commander wins, he can lead the army to respond. If he fails, he is responsible for organizing the defense.
"Crazy, this must be crazy. Fifty thousand human troops attack 150,000 Swarm monsters, not counting the 300,000 Highlanders behind them."
John felt his head hurt. Everything he experienced today was too crazy. He vowed that if he could survive today, he would resign and retire.
The breeze blew over Jonathan's temples, which were already white in color. He was already in his middle years and was slowly starting to look older.
He knew that his behavior was risky, but he had a feeling in his heart that he could give it a try. Just like the warrior who picked up the divine sword always wanted to challenge the devil, the general who commanded thousands of troops always wanted to leave great achievements.
When the messenger from the Highlanders arrived at his tent, many staff members said it was a conspiracy and a trap.
Even if it is true, it is too risky. There are other better ways to surrender. It is too difficult to surrender and turn sides on the battlefield.
Jonathan believed it, and he still wanted to take a gamble. As for why, on the one hand, it was his psychological feeling, and on the other hand, the war situation gave him the conditions to gamble.
But the most important reason was that he remembered the scene when Chloe asked him. He hesitated at that time, and Queen showed a disappointed expression, which stung him.
If he loses the bet, Prince Arthur, Isabella, and John can still hold the battle line and complete the tasks assigned by Queen. He is just an arrogant and willful fool.
But if he wins the bet, he will honor Queen and his family with a hearty victory.
Fifty thousand cavalry was a huge number, and it was the first time for Jonathan to be with such a huge number of cavalry. The wide and endless grassland seemed to be filled up.
The reason why these warriors are willing to charge with him is because the Highlanders have a superstitious belief that Chloe is the daughter of God. They are fighting for God, and they have a deep hatred for the association.
The Altians were favored by Queen. Most of these cavalry were soldiers who had followed Queen for a long time. They were all the lowest level untouchables. It was Queen who fulfilled his promise and made them nobles, becoming Knight.
During the mobilization, Jonathan also specifically said that this operation was a narrow escape, and those who did not want to participate could withdraw. After waiting for a few minutes, no one quit.
Seeing this scene, Jonathan also felt a rush of blood rushing to his forehead, and he shouted, "Long live the empire! Long live Queen!"
Fifty thousand people followed and shouted, "Long live the empire! Long live Queen!"
A large number of human cavalry are rushing towards them.
When she heard the news, Joanna didn't believe it at all. She only knew it was true after observing it with Clairvoyance.
Large groups of cavalry were quickly crossing the trenches that had been baptized by the fire of war through planks erected on the trenches.
Most of them are Altians, they have bright armor and high morale. A small number are Highlanders, their equipment is much worse, but they are still as energetic.
"It seems that they really want to charge. These people want to commit suicide? It doesn't make sense." Joanna, who had been tortured by too many accidents today, was puzzled. "No, Swarm of Warcraft Queen has not shown up yet! These human troops must be to entangle me so that Swarm of Warcraft Queen can launch a general attack."
Joanna, who thought she had discovered a blind spot, quickly ordered all Swarm to retreat and let her Highlanders block the Altians.
At this time, she didn't know that her Hatchery was already crumbling under the attack of Chloe. She was still dreaming about joining the hundreds of thousands of Swarm troops sent by Typhon to regain her strength.
Among the Highlanders' army, a mage from the association faithfully conveyed Joanna's orders.
The chief who led the army listened quietly. After the mage finished speaking, he said coldly, "Are you asking us to die as cannon fodder again?"
The mage immediately became angry, "It's your honor to serve Astrologers' Association. Think about your clan and don't let them be buried with you for your stupid remarks."
"Didn't my clan pay enough for the association?" The chief was also angry, "The old people were all thrown into that terrible Digestive Cavity, the adults all took up arms and formed an army, and the herding was done by children. Just two days ago, there were children in the tribe who were too young and were knocked to the ground by grazing livestock and trampled to death!"
"You are disloyal!" The mage picked up the staff and prepared to exercise the rights entrusted to him by the association.
A sharp spear was thrust out of his throat. The chief stared at the shining spear head and the blood dripping from it.
"So your blood is also red. I thought the cold blood was the same as the purple Psionics." As the chief finished speaking, the highlander warriors who had been prepared all around quickly killed the mage and his followers with bows, arrows, sabers, and spears.
"Children of the grassland, we are eagles soaring in the sky. Our wings have been broken by tyranny and power, but freedom cannot be locked. Let us spread our wings and soar!" The chief raised her sword high and roared.
All the highlanders raised their weapons and began to roar. As they roared, they hummed traditional highlander songs that symbolized freedom.
This song describes a pair of young people who fell in love from two clans that hated each other. The clan members did not allow them to see each other and locked them up. But in the end they escaped from their clans with the help of kind-hearted people.
In the end, the lovers finally got married, and the two sang this song while running side by side under the blue sky.
The melodious and romantic singing spread throughout the Highlanders' army, so that even people far away could hear the melody clearly, and the 150,000 Highlanders on the other side also sang along.
A Astromancer in blue hurriedly crossed the dark Swarm and saw Joanna sitting in a sci-fi style vehicle.
"Master President... those... those Highlanders are here!"
Joanna, who was sitting in a comfortable seat in the car, looked at the man in blue with confusion, "Huh?"
As if time did not want Astromancer in blue to explain too much, the black rain of arrows shot by the highlanders in the sky fell like dark clouds.
At the same time, two Highlanders, each with a strength of 150,000, held their guns flat, overcame their own fear, roared and sang songs of freedom, and rushed into the association's Swarm one from the left and the other from the right.
