The Reinde family is a relative of the Landsworthy family, and the two families have been intermarried in this generation, so it is not surprising to see their reindeer cavalry.
"Organize firefighting, send out signals, and try to hold on to this place. Retreating through the forest will only be more dangerous. Those reindeer cavalry are the best at pursuit."
"Yes, sir."
Soon a burst of shrill blasts rose from the night sky, and then exploded, blooming into crimson meteors that streaked across the night sky.
Immediately, the arrows that streaked across the night sky were heard in other places, and the signal of the attack was transmitted layer by layer to the rear.
In the coalition camp of the Eastern Territory nobles.
The tent, as big as a hall, was filled with nobles dressed in luxurious gowns. They sat in the neatly carpeted room, with shining gems hanging above their heads, illuminating the space below.
"According to intelligence gathered from both wings, our camp guarding the mountain pass and the road on the other side is being attacked by the Landsworthy family."
"Are they planning to take a detour? Looks like we have to take action too."
"No, they are splitting their forces into three groups, preparing to break through simultaneously, making it difficult for us to cope."
"As long as a force reaches New Rose Castle and rescues Her Majesty the Queen and Grand Duke Landsworthy, the Landsworthy family will be able to safely await the arrival of elven reinforcements. Our current army besieging New Rose Castle is insufficient to withstand the attack of the forest elves. This is all about buying time. If we can control Queen Evelyn, we can get her to issue an order to expel the forest elf coalition from the territory."
"If the forest elves insist on attacking, it won't just be an internal problem in the East, but will escalate into a conflict between the elves and humans."
"The reason the forest elves can now interfere in the internal affairs of the East Territory is because they have the Queen's permission. This is how the matter is kept within the Empire. After all, co-governance between humans and elves is one of the founding oaths of the Verdant Empire."
"It seems that the other party has also grasped the key to the problem. The Landsworth family is worthy of being the leader of the East Territory. Even we have to admire its strength." Although these nobles have now raised the banner of rebellion, only a few of the major nobles are confident. Most of the small nobles are still somewhat hesitant, but the situation has now forced them to stand on this side.
The Duke of Unicorn and the name and strength of the Landsworth family are well known to these people from the East, so they are in awe of them.
"So, how do we respond now? We should split our forces into three groups. That way, we won't be overwhelming them in terms of numbers and will be easily defeated one by one."
Everyone in the venue fell into deep thought and fell silent for a moment.
"Perhaps, we can only continue to move forward and head straight to the headquarters of the Landsworthy family to force their main force to show up." Lindbergh, dressed in black, stood up and expressed his thoughts.
After a brief and noisy debate, this simple and easy method was adopted.
The noble coalition was already a mixed bunch, their will was weak. Staying together would have been fine, but splitting up would only lead to unexpected events. They also didn't want to receive unexpected news of an ally suddenly turning against the Landsworthys. In such a situation, the strategies and tactics they could employ were actually limited.
"That's the only way." An elderly noble man sighed, then picked up the chess piece representing his side on the table and pushed it towards the place where the unicorn was on the map.
"Let's go."
"Yes, sir."
Afterwards, messengers walked out of the tents one by one and went to various parts of the military camp. Under their shouts and orders, the entire army began to move, slowly dismantling the camp, and then heading east.
Flags of various colors fluttered in the field, and the soldiers holding fan-shaped shields formed a shield wall, marching slowly forward with heavy steps.
Three days later, the coalition forces of the eastern nobles, totaling about 400,000 strong, formed an extremely wide front in the wilderness and slowly surrounded the direction of the Landsworthy family. As the party resisting the counterattack, the Landsworthy family also fluttered their flags, and the white and blue swallowtail flags on their lances were like an ocean, undulating in the wind.
The horns sounded, and the infantry on both sides advanced step by step, while the cavalry on both sides began to charge.
The heavy horse hooves stepped on the grass, bringing up a gust of dirt and grass debris, and the earth trembled like thunder. Looking down from the sky, you can see two triangular blue and white arrows whistling forward on the battlefield, bringing up a large amount of smoke and dust, like sharp blades piercing the lines on both sides of the coalition forces.
The panicked shooting had achieved almost no results, and seeing the silver-armored cavalry charging forward, the coalition forces in the East Territory panicked, and the soldiers behind them began to retreat unconsciously.
"Cavalry, charge!"
The allied cavalry also began to charge, responding to the onslaught. The cavalry, adorned with a variety of shields, flags, and robes, formed a line, gradually accelerating, forming a loose formation on the battlefield. As the two sides drew closer, they lowered their lances, the swallowtail pennants on their lances pulled straight up by the wind, partially clinging to the lance shafts. The strong wind brought a slight sense of suffocation.
In the narrow field of vision through the mask, the silver-armored cavalry on the opposite side was getting closer and closer. The shiny armor reflected a white light in the sunlight, and the bright and sharp spear tips in their hands were also chilling. The already terrifying charge became even more dangerous and deadly with the blessing of extraordinary power.
The cavalry of both sides collided directly with each other like high-speed trains.
For a moment, people and horses fell to the ground, gun barrels broke, and wooden thorns flew. Some flew directly from the horse's back, slid on the ground, and were then trampled into mud by the galloping iron hooves. The cavalry on both sides were lost at an alarming rate.
