Chapter 689

Just like the beginning without any omen, no one was aware of when the sudden fight ended.

Everything was quietly submerged in the rolling smoke and the grass under the iron horse.

In the light of the setting sun, flags waved one after another on the battlefield, and the sound of fighting and roaring faded away; The grass under our feet is full of fallen corpses, broken blades and flags.

As Loren had expected at the beginning, deliberately putting the Centaur within 200 steps was not the arrogance of the Byrne knights, but to wipe out the enemy without leaving a living mouth.

The advantage of Byrne Knights lies in their breakthrough and explosive power. A perfect charge can even defeat the heavy infantry array in front; But relatively, long-distance attack and agility are much inferior.

On this open plain, once the Centaurs use their agility to harass again and again, surround but not attack, they actually have no choice but to stick to their positions and advance step by step.

So Trish Eckert decisively dispersed the front to attract the enemy, put the raiding enemy within 200 steps, and beat them with the charging advantage of Byrne knights in one breath; Then the Rangers are responsible for sweeping out the remaining enemies, leaving none.

This is not a "Chivalry", it is a calm judgment of the current situation based on experience and absolute confidence in the strength of Byrne's knights.

Even if the charge is scattered, the enemy can be completely defeated in only one round.

Under the scorching sun and cloudless sky, the vast grassland was dyed as bright red as blood.

Byrne's heavy Knights have begun to return, leaving only the Rangers of qiaowang peak still cleaning the battlefield and sending the seriously injured and dying centaurs to their ancestors.

On the other side, I don't know where they came from. The boi Hussars holding the banner of the Varna family also came to join Bain's headquarters after solving the remnants of the escaped centaurs.

They wore leather armor and overalls with very uniform patterns. Under the leather armor was a very simple and thin lock armor; He held a short gun in his right hand, and a machete and four or five throwing guns were hung on the saddle.

On the other hand, the cavalry carrying the flag and some Hussars dressed up as officers were at the front, with a pair of horn bow and a pot of arrows on the left side of the saddle; The armor was also obviously better, with more shoulder pads and cloaks.

Compared with the fully armed Byrne knights who wanted to wear armor even their war horses, the costumes of these Boyi Hussars were obviously more suitable for fighting on the prairie; Their horses, though slightly shorter, were more flexible than Byrne's.

After entering the battlefield, these Hussars did not rashly rush directly into the middle of the battlefield, or in front of the charge of Byrne Knights; But cruising on the edge of the scuffle, constantly killing the lone centaurs with guns and bows and arrows.

Until the main force of the Centaur was completely defeated, they finally pulled out their sabers and short spears and joined the battle with the Rangers from all directions. The scattered but undisturbed array was like a gust of wind, which quickly "cleaned up the battlefield".

Had it not been for their presence, I am afraid the raid would not have ended so soon before the evening.

But these are not what Lauren is most concerned about right now.

Holding the reins, Loren narrowed his eyes slightly relieved; Not far away, count bosiwar, covered in blood, was confronting the Hussars with the flag, looking at each other coldly.

"What's going on?"

"That... Seems to be the side branch of the Varna family, count Seth, the owner of the braha family." Eckert leaned forward and sighed softly: "he is also the uncle and brother-in-law of count bosival."

"Brother-in-law and... Brother-in-law?" Lauren looked confused.

"The process is very complicated, but... It is roughly that count bosiwar eloped with Seth's sister; later, count Seth took advantage of his absence to please the elders of qiaowang peak and married bosiwar's sister back."

Ike shook his head reluctantly: "since then, they have been each other's brother-in-law and brother-in-law."

"But don't worry about it, Duke. These two people are very afraid of their sister... So we won't affect our relationship with Boye because of this private friendship."

"..." Loren Turin.

Struggling to resist the urge to roll his eyes, but not wanting to interfere in the "household affairs" of the vassal, Loren stopped and turned the topic aside:

"This count of Seth, is he in a high position in the Principality of Boye?"

"He is the confidant of Archduke Varna and Lord Boyle, who most supports the re-election of the Duke of Varna family." Eckert nodded slightly, and he heard the meaning of Loren's words:

"So it's really strange that he appears here - if the situation is really in crisis, as Archduke Varna described, the count should appear on the battlefield, not at the junction of Boye and Bain."

"And the Centaur who just raided us..." Lauren frowned slightly: "they seemed to expect someone to appear here, but they didn't expect it to be us."

"Or it's not a patrol of more than a thousand people, but a complete legion," said count Eckert in a deep voice, glancing at the Hussars leader who was about to draw his sword against bosiwar:

"I guess... Count Seth braha must have the answer you want to know, Duke."

Lauren nodded: "let the soldiers camp first. We have plenty of time to talk about the war with boy's' good brothers'."

He always had a hunch that neither the heavenly palace nor the Archduke Varna... They didn't tell the truth about the war.

And... And fascism; If he really came to the East, would the war be inseparable from him?

If it is true, will he face thousands of vast and boundless mutant monsters like eboden or duanjie mountain in addition to centaurs; And the fallen evil gods who were "summoned" by him?

The eboden war is enough to illustrate the problem - in the face of evil gods, even if they are just "bodies", without dragons, the number of troops is meaningless and can only be devastated by one-sided.

Slowly looking back, Lauren looked at the battlefield gradually cleaned up in the distance, leaving only a series of corpses and blood soaked in the grass.

Cold bones, dried plasma... There are centaurs, Boyi and Bain.

Or complete, or incomplete, or only a "beach" can not see the shape of the "thing"

The Centaur war has just begun.

…………………………………………………………

It was not until nightfall that the soldiers finally relaxed their vigilance and began to camp.

Compared with the Saxons, the Byrne camp is much "simpler"; There are no temporary wooden walls, fences and sentry towers (this kind of thing cannot be built on the grassland), and there are no horse pits filled with sharp wooden stakes and fire oil.

The whole camp is surrounded by baggage carts, and then dig a long trench along the edge of the camp; The soldiers' tents were arranged in a neat chessboard shape around campfires - even after they were influenced by the Saxons.

This made Loren, who had visited duanjie mountain and had seen the camp of the saxophone legion, frown; Although Byrne's army is also well disciplined, it is obviously not as rigorous as the Empire in terms of logistics.

But this is all in the future.

Although the camp was very simple, and there was not much logistics prepared so far, Byrne's knights still warmly welcomed Boye's brothers;

However, these forthright Hussars were even more enthusiastic than the Bains, and did not regard each other as outsiders. Even if the two sides only meet for the first time, they are close like a family;

In such a lively atmosphere, Loren received bosiwar's "brother-in-law and uncle", and count Seth braha, a confidant of Archduke Varna.

The count of Seth was even more "forthright" and informal than his subordinates. He rushed into the camp without waiting for a call, stood in front of Loren and asked:

"Duke Byrne, how many people did you bring this time?"
