Chapter 734

Silent mountains.

Known as Ryan's strongest heavy infantry regiment, with a full size of 50000 people, it is one of the largest single regiments among all noble private soldiers in the Principality of Ryan. Even though Ryan has been upgraded to a kingdom and enfeoffed the seven dukes, the silent mountains can still rank among the top five in the scale of all the noble private armies of Ryan. Even in the next five years, the scale of the silent mountains will still be the top ten of Ryan.

From the beginning of its establishment, the silent mountain has been divided into five troops, each of which is a full size of 10000 people. But in fact, only the core main force is the real "silent mountain". In fact, the other four forces only exist as auxiliary forces. In a way, it is because of these four auxiliary forces that the combat effectiveness of the whole silent mountain is greatly reduced.

This is known only to the top of the sebarox family.

The silent mountain troops sent by the Marquis of sebarox this time are just the real main force of the silent mountain. It is precisely for this reason that the information provided by alikate to Alfred deviated - the silent mountains arrived three hours ahead of schedule.

It has to be said that the Marquis of sebarox's calculation is indeed very smart.

In particular, after receiving the dispatch of the thunder lion, one of the three main legions under the Duke of void, the Marquis of sebarox was even more excited.

As we all know, the three main armies under Sean's command are full-scale with 10000 people. In the previous Southern theater of the dabion war, both the thunder lion and the steel wing have proved to the people of dabion and Ryan that these two troops are the strongest heavy infantry legions worthy of it - the thunder lion, After all, it is a mixture of light and heavy infantry, but the steel wings are a real Heavy Infantry Corps.

In this way, nature is tantamount to comprehensively weakening the value of the silent mountains.

Therefore, the sebarox family urgently needs a war to prove the value of the silent mountains.

Before that, the Marquis of sebarox only wanted to prove the containment of the silent mountains in the battle to kill Sean launched by the finristine leaders - even strong people like the Duke of nothingness could stop it. However, when the thunder lion appeared, the Marquis of sebarox's purpose changed. As long as he defeated the thunder lion as famous as the steel wing, it was enough to declare the strength of the silent mountains to the whole Ryan.

In this regard, the silent mountain quietly changed the marching direction in the middle. They came straight at the stronghold just established by the thunder lion. At this time, the Marquis of finistine was also wrangling with the Marquis of sebarox in order to temporarily take over the command of the silent mountains in his territory.

……

Alfred, who was directing the construction of the fortification of the stronghold, narrowed his eyes slightly.

Around him, many thunder lion soldiers who took off their armor and were sweating to build fortifications because there was no war for the time being also stopped their work, and then raised their heads to follow the eyes of their commander, Lion King Alfred. Perhaps the humans in the Legion of thunder lions can't see clearly what the black tide rumbling in the dark is, but with their war instinct and smell over the years, they can still clearly know that at this time, the black tide that looks calm and has a strong sense of annihilation is not much weaker than them.

In fact, in Sean's eyes, the silent mountains may indeed be just a quasi fourth level army, but the real silent mountains, as the main force of the core battle, is a well deserved fourth level army.

Before Sean and the steel wings and the lion of thunder appeared, it was not unreasonable that this regiment was called Ryan's strongest heavy infantry regiment.

Even if it is claimed, no one deliberately denies it.

Alfred's mouth was slightly raised, and his face was a little excited. He was no longer the general who was not good at fighting. After years of war, Alfred actually knew how to correctly judge the real level of an army. Moreover, Alfred also worked hard on the information about the armies of various countries, so he could recognize at a glance which army the black tide opposite came from.

The silent mountains belonging to the sebarox family.

Jumping down from the three meter high sentry tower, a sudden tremor came from the earth, and several cracks were instantly generated at Alfred's foot. Even the ground of the sentry tower was affected, and the whole sentry tower tilted slightly.

The fangs of the flame lion were held by Alfred alone, and a strange sound of metal collision came from behind him.

There is no need for Alfred to order or command anything at all. As the core force of the thunder lion and Alfred's garrison, the thunder Division has finished dressing and began to gather around Alfred. Followed by the soldiers of the thunder lion, the whole camp had completely assembled and formed a square array behind Alfred without even sounding an alarm.

The whole process, without the slightest confusion and haste, everything is being carried out step by step.

Alfred slightly raised the fangs of the flaming lion on his right hand, and then hit it hard on the ground. With the impact of the end of the axe handle on the ground, a "Dong" sound sounded, and all the soldiers of the thunder lion roared with excitement. They raised their weapons, then slapped the shield or the ground, and a killing momentum that was not inferior to the silent mountains suddenly rose.

"My Lord, they arrived three hours earlier than expected." A man wearing a dark blue heavy armor and a lion helmet said in a deep voice, "and he still appears in this place. We didn't even find out in advance. This is completely wrong with the information provided by Lord ellikate."

In the lion of thunder, there is only one kind of person who can wear this special heavy armor and move freely, that is, the thunder division, which belongs to Alfred's police regiment. Because the Legion of the thunder lion is not entirely composed of humans, relatively speaking, humans only account for a small part of the population. Therefore, it is not possible to dress the legion with unified armor. Therefore, many soldiers of the thunder lion actually have only half breastplates.

However, as the most core and main combat force, the thunder division must be different from ordinary soldiers. Only in this way can it arouse the internal competitiveness of the whole Legion and maintain a long-term strong combat effectiveness. Therefore, under William's proposal, every soldier who becomes the guard regiment of the thunder division can get a set of tailor-made heavy armor, which aggravates the consumption of military resources of the whole empty collar, but in the long run, it is still very beneficial.

At this time, the speaker was one of the most powerful brave generals under Alfred, the head of the thunder division and Alfred's immediate adjutant.

"It's normal." Alfred smiled. "It's not that there's something wrong with the intelligence on elikate's side, but that this silent mountain is eager to prove their strength. After all, this time the enemy is a joint operation, so there will be conflicts in the command system. Before unified coordination is achieved, such things have long been expected by Lord William Of course, a little earlier than Lord William expected. "

"Lord William was wrong, too?" The adjutant directly under Alfred asked with a shocked face.

"Lord William is not a God either. It's incredible that he can expect the silent mountains to come out and attack us. Would anyone else have expected this? Rather, the wrong judgment at the time point seems that William is more like a human being. " At this point, Alfred suddenly thought of Sean, and his mouth could not help raising slightly: if it was what the guy had predicted, I'm afraid there would be no mistake in time?

"The whole army is ready for battle!" Alfred clenched the axe made by Sean in his hand and roared in a deep voice.

"Oh!" The whole thunder lion responded with the same loud roar.

The huge square of 7000 people soon dispersed and pulled out a long front.

The lion of thunder is a legion of light infantry, of which the proportion of light infantry is 7 to 3, but nearly 3000 of the 7000 light infantry are long-range strike forces such as archers. In the previous temporary stronghold led by nodala, Alfred left 1000 archers and 2000 light infantry, so among the 7000 thunder lion soldiers brought out at this time, there were a little more heavy infantry.

It hardly needed Alfred's orders. The lion of thunder, who had already mastered various corresponding combat tactics, changed rapidly after opening a front.

Three thousand heavy infantry stood at the front of the battle line with shields. They didn't take the posture of holding the top shield, but they also protected their front with shields and stood up their long guns obliquely at the same time. Behind the 3000 heavy infantry are 2000 archers. Different from the archers in ordinary human countries, all the archers of the thunder lion are composed of strong armed orcs, which makes their arrows have great penetration and lethality. Two thousand light infantry were scattered on the left and right wings of the archers, 1000 on each side, but they did not protect the flanks, but opened a relatively large distance.

Alfred stepped forward a few steps and stood in front of the whole legion, squinting at the silent mountains ahead.

It seems to feel the Lion King's provocation. After a slight pause, the silent mountain suddenly began to move forward.

The roar of the earth is even louder and more amazing.

And the momentum of the silent mountains is more magnificent.

Alfred looked coldly at the distance between the silent mountains and his own side and calculated silently. He didn't roar until the silent mountains were only 500 meters away from his array: "shoot an arrow!"

In a moment, the first wave of arrow rain from the lion of thunder was thrown from the rear of the formation of 3000 heavy infantry.

As Alfred expected, the silent mountains also launched an assault on the thunder lion at this time.

In this way, from the situation of the battlefield, it was like the silent mountain itself rushing into the range covered by the thunder lion arrow rain. In front of the three edged armor breaking arrows thrown by these orcs, even if the armor of the silent mountain is a special armor relative to the heavy armor, it can't resist the impact of this arrow rain. In a moment, hundreds of people fell directly.

Almost at the same time when the silent mountain charged, the light infantry on the left and right wings of the thunder lion also moved in an instant and quickly surrounded the silent mountain.

Just after the first wave of arrow rain was shot, all the archers began to prepare for the second wave of arrow rain, and then shot out again without hesitation.

This time, due to the shortening of the distance and many wounded soldiers after the first wave of arrow rain, the damage caused by the second wave of arrow rain was far more amazing than the first wave, and hundreds of people fell directly.

However, this is not the end.

When the silent mountain rushed 200 meters, the 3000 heavy infantry in front of the thunder lion quickly dispersed to the left and right, giving way to the 2000 archers in the rear. However, in the face of the fierce silent mountain, the two thousand archers did not have the slightest timidity. Even if the bow in the front squatted down, it directly launched a flat shot with the second row of archers at the soldiers in the silent mountain.

In the face of such a close arched flat shot, even the silent mountains had to raise their shields to protect themselves. For a time, the speed of the charge slowed down involuntarily, but this sudden change did not come from the tactical change of the commander. So for a moment, the silent mountain appeared in a disjointed state, and the charging rhythm of the whole Legion was chaotic in an instant, which naturally caused some small confusion to the whole silent mountain.

Originally, this chaos can be ignored for the silent mountains, because the enemy can't take advantage of the gap at this moment.

But this time, their opponent was not an ordinary army, but the famous lion of thunder!

Just for a moment of confusion, the light infantry on both wings had completed the circuitous encirclement, but they didn't rush up immediately. Instead, they took out their short axes and suddenly carried out a round of flying axe attack on both sides of the silent mountain.

Almost at the same time that this round of flying axe was thrown out, the second round of flat shooting and the hanging and throwing at the back of the archers once again made a covering and comprehensive attack on the silent mountains. In this moment, the chaotic effect of the whole silent mountains was expanded.

Looking at the silent mountain range 150 meters away, Alfred finally raised the flame lion fangs in his hand and shouted, "all the army, assault!"
