David Felesev immediately urged the supervising team at the front and the soldiers on the front line to launch a fierce attack on Su Yue's territory, taking advantage of the gaps and openings created by the catapults!

"Ready, launch!"

Three hundred peasant archers formed a semi-circular square, hurling arrows into the distance through the narrow, dense forest... David Felesev, in his eagerness for a swift victory, disregarded the possibility that the archers' poisoned arrows might accidentally injure friendly forces.

In order to achieve a breakthrough and advance, the archers ignored friendly fire and began to launch multiple volleys of fire on the front lines.

...

Id Ya laughed, "Aren't we going to start?"

The octopus-faced man from the Star Familia standing to the side said respectfully, "It seems that Lord White Horse is not yet in a position to use his full strength against these lowly and weak enemies."

Id Ya was originally dispatched by Su Yue, but his subordinates, including 9 Tier 2 Investigators, 42 Tier 3 Amorphous Elementals (Crypto-type units), 13 Tier 5 Innsmouth Nobles, and 4 Tier 7 Star Familiars, would be ready to appear.

It would absolutely be able to inflict a devastating blow on this imperial rebel force of over 1,600 men, as well as that gloomy old man David in the cloak.

However, Id Ya was also extremely curious about Su Yue's strategic abilities.

It's not clear unless you look at it.

Upon closer inspection.

David Felesev's every action seemed to be motivated by the White Horse Lord.

Her "junior" knew it all perfectly well.

"How do we deal with the catapults? The second round of firing is about to begin."

The seventh-tier Star Familiar beside him smiled obsequiously: "Isn't this obvious?"

Id Ya said, "It's been a long time since I've seen such a talented and handsome young man. Kshira is coming soon, isn't he?"

"Yes, Mother Goddess."

"It would be good for young people to make more friends. Perhaps we should invite Gatanothoya, Isogda, Zos Omog, and the other kids to come and get to know Su Yue as well?"

Previously at the tavern, Su Yue had recognized Id Ya as his junior based on the sense of familiarity he felt with his former allies.

He claimed that she was very much like his mother.

Therefore, Ide Ya felt a kind of elder-like care for a younger person towards Su Yue. Seeing how Su Yue handled the battle so well, even to the point of being amazing, Ide Ya was completely relieved.

The presence of this Cthulhu Old One, an evil god, signifies that the enemy's nightmare is about to arrive!

Against this backdrop.

The nightmare has begun!

The nightmare has appeared!!!

...

"Hurry up and load the bodies and stones... Why aren't you loading more bodies this time?"

"Fool, corpses are not as deadly as stones. It is the splashing poison that is more effective at damaging the enemy's morale and causing them to collapse. Now that the enemy's White Horse Lord has solved the poison plague problem, throwing rocks will naturally be more lethal."

"Kill these damned enemy soldiers! I'm going to dismember that White Horse Lord's mount and roast it!"

"Once we conquer their territory, we'll raid them again."

"Hahaha."

The imperial rebels had lost their humanity; their previous plunder and pillaging had given them a taste of success. Now, they were even more unrestrained, fantasizing about how they would loot and pillage the White Horse Lord's territory after defeating him.

Time didn't pass very quickly; it was time for the second round of throws.

"Damn it!!! What is that?!"

"What the hell is that?!"

"A griffin... a griffin!!!"

"This isn't just any ordinary Tier 3 lion cub; it's a Tier 5 griffin!!!"

The enormous griffins, resembling eight chariots falling from the sky, viciously swooped down on the Imperial rebels' catapult positions! Due to the concealment of the dense forest and the negligence of the Imperial rebels' scouts, they failed to notice the griffin force that had appeared on the right flank of the Imperial rebels!

When used properly, all four tiers of units can have a decisive effect on the outcome of a battle.

Not to mention that the Great Griffin is a Tier 5 high-tier unit!

"What!?"

David Felesev suddenly noticed the changes on the battlefield, having been looking forward to the moment when the second wave of catapults would establish a greater advantage.

A second-tier force of the enemy White Horse Lord, hidden in the dense forest, appeared!

The griffin's silhouette crossed the barrier of the dense forest.

The moment it emerged from the hidden fog of war map, it was as if a demon had choked David Felesev, suffocating him!

"No!!!!!"

The sounds of "crack! crack!" came from the high ground on the right flank of the battlefield. Eight Tier 5 Griffins were wreaking havoc on the catapult positions of the human empire rebels! The terrifying pressure of those high-level troops, coupled with the command ability of the White Horse Lord who fought to the death, added to their strength.

They were simply beyond the capabilities of ordinary human imperial units to stop.

The broad wings of the griffin cast a shadow that claimed the lives of the human Empire's catapult soldiers one by one. The fifty soldiers at the catapult position began to rout, raising white flags and fleeing. The second volley of catapults completely destroyed them!

At the same time, David Felesev clearly saw more than 50 of the White Horse Lord's concealed troops approaching from the flank in the distance, appearing on the catapult positions. They began to try to maneuver the catapults to aim at their own frontline troops.

"No!! Take back the catapult position immediately!"

"Walter Lawrence!"

Walter Lawrence certainly noticed the changes in the catapult positions.

"This White Horse Lord, doesn't he lack high-level troops?"

"Tier 3 dwarven units, and Tier 5 great griffins!!"

A profound fear gripped Walter Lawrence! At this moment, he understood perfectly well that the White Horse Lord before him had likely foreseen their demise from the very beginning, thwarting every single offensive. Each wave of attacks had a countermeasure, demonstrating that while the Human Empire rebels had gained some advantage… strategically and militarily…

It was as if someone had stomped on their heads and rubbed them violently against the ground.

"My lord... I... I want to surrender!"

A third-tier cavalry squire watched as the terrifying griffin, with a wingspan of nearly two and a half meters, spread its wings to pounce and torment the imperial rebel forces as if a cat were catching a mouse, and felt a deep sense of fear.

"It's beyond saving, that's a fifth-tier griffin..."

Walter Lawrence felt a wave of dejection, but he knew that they had not yet completely failed.

David Felesev looked at Walter Lawrence, who had joined them from the front lines, and said, "We must penetrate their enemy lines and defeat the formidable Lord White Horse, or we will face certain death."

Walter Lawrence asked, "What should we do now?"

"Support! We have 750 troops coming to our aid."

From the outset, David Felesev failed to reveal that the Imperial rebel forces that had been raided were not alone. A larger force of 750 men, led by one of his trusted men, called the Zounds, was also on its way, along with 500-999 reinforcements.

This will be their last hope of rebelling against this battle!

...

"David Felesev's side is being held back by a ragtag army? What? Eight giant griffins?!" Osborne Haywood, as the cavalry commander, listened incredulously to the intelligence report from the front.

A formidable force of 750 men, including 120 Tier 3 cavalrymen and the Imperial rebel elite Iron Spear Legion.

Soon to join and arrive on the battlefield.

...

On Su Yue's side, he watched as the griffins and the mixed force of 50 second-tier blind warriors and second-tier dwarf troops occupied the enemy's flank high ground catapults!

He immediately gave the order: "Protect the catapults, don't let the griffins continue to dismantle them, these are my future treasures."

When his lord level increased by +1 before.

He acquired the Lord skill "Ballistics". However, the problem lies in Ballistics. Su Yue currently has no ranged units, let alone catapults and trebuchets supported by Ballistics... Didn't the enemy David Felesev build nine for him? After two were destroyed by griffins diving down, Su Yue immediately ordered the unruly griffins to stop destroying the catapults.

"Europa".

"exist."

She had previously cleaned up the plague and treated the frontline troops, maintaining stability on the front lines, which was a great achievement.

Su Yue temporarily ignored what Abraham, the sixth son, was doing, but even on the battlefield, he hadn't forgotten about him. He was definitely plotting something, definitely! The handsome Divine Lord, the White Horse Lord, tightened the reins and said:

"Change command position to the catapult position... I need to operate on multiple fronts."

"yes."

Europa readily complied, while Innsmouth scout Ragnar, standing nearby, moved with absurd speed and was even capable of some form of teleportation. Su Yue even suspected that this guy's strategic significance and value were no less than that of a Tier 6 unit.

The value of things cannot be judged solely by rank, said Ragnar, the deep-sea scout from Innsmouth.

On the one hand, there is no need to worry about being captured.

He wasn't worried about his plans being overheard by others because he only spoke Cthulhu's language to Su Yue.

“fhalma'geb'qnaiih…… (An enemy support force of 750 men has appeared ahead, elite, very elite)”

"?"

"I knew things wouldn't be that simple."

The handsome white-horse lord Su Yue gazed into the distance and said, "We still have more than 550 men... We must completely break their morale before the enemy reinforcements arrive. Otherwise, we will have to retreat."

Su Yue is not a god. In this large-scale battle with 1,600 people, he has the upper hand but is not completely invincible.

Using an archangel to mow the lawn means revealing your hand.

Of course, if Su Yue is willing, the 3,000 militia troops behind him can also be mobilized. If they are squeezed even more, the more than 100 devil believers in the camp, including the seventh-rank Innsmouth guards of the Temple of the Gods, and Id Ya can also be involved.

However, it's best not to reveal these trump cards if possible.

So at this moment, the White Horse Lord...

It's time to start playing micro-management.

"The more troops involved in the so-called united front on the battlefield, the less room for maneuver there is; the fewer troops there are, the more room for my personal command and operation." This is a theory that is bound to hold true. There is not much room for maneuver with troops of several million or several hundred thousand.

However, people like Su Yue can employ very complex infiltration tactics, even luring the enemy into confusion and launching sneak attacks—these are all despicable methods.

"Failure would be troublesome...we need to retreat."

"I'm really eyeing those 400,000 gold and silver treasures..."

"hehe……"

Imperial rebels plundered a territory called "Grujion" within the human empire. Griffin and Innsmouth scouts estimate the treasure to be worth at least 400,000 gold coins…that's a huge sum. Money makes money; giving it to Abraham as seed money might yield even more!

"Attack! Move the formation into the enemy's heartland. Now it's time for a bloody melee."

Lord White Horse's command troops, including his personal guards, carrying their military flags, retreated into the hidden fog of war in the forest!

David Felesev, a gloomy old man in a cloak, watched the scene unfold.

A sudden, ominous feeling arose within me!

"Your 750-strong reinforcement force is doomed to defeat!"

"No one can stop us! Not even God!"

A cruel and cold glint had already appeared in David Felesev's eyes.
