Chapter 103: Thousands of Troops Avoid White Robes (Super Large Chapter!)

When Rand realized that the enemy was not prepared, he immediately ordered a charge.

The current cavalry of the 5th Corps is actually not weak. Except for the heavy losses in the initial confrontation, the subsequent losses were not small either. However, the overall number of people has increased after absorbing the cavalry of its own 2nd Corps.

When the 3rd and 4th Legions were still in chaos, the Black and Brown Count rushed in with his men and directly prevented the opponent's attempt to reorganize the formation.

Rand was stunned. He initially thought that the Black and Brown Earl could provide support from the side and tie down the opponent's cavalry, but now it seems that he is going to go straight into the opponent's main formation?

And it seems to be working quite well. Indeed, the other side fell into chaos.

But the number of people was too small, and half a day gave the two legions room to adjust, otherwise these infantrymen might have collapsed in such a direct charge.

Unfortunately, the opposing cavalry soon reacted and began to engage in a fight with the Black and Brown Count's cavalry.

Rand still admired the Black and Brown Earl very much. Since the Black and Brown Earl joined the war, he has been leading the cavalry on the front line. When he discussed the reply to the second prince with him before, he could smell the herbal smell on him.

Obviously he suffered a lot of injuries.

Rand probably doesn't have the courage to do this.

Rand ordered the infantry to attack. As long as they could hold out until tonight, after the ceasefire, the Second Prince's army would probably arrive by tomorrow morning.

Then there will be hope of winning.

Not at all now.

The principle that the fewer people, the stronger the combat effectiveness is only effective within a certain range.

Moreover, it can be said that the 3rd and 4th Corps on the opposite side have basically suffered no losses so far. If it weren't for their hasty march, the 5th Corps would have no chance of resisting.

The front line was quickly broken through. Although the frontal combat troops led by Taner could not be said to be experienced in hundreds of battles, they were also battle-hardened. At least their level of frontal combat was much higher.

In fact, if the difference in the number of people is not big, for example, both sides have ten people, and three fall on one side and six fall on the other side, then a one-sided situation will immediately form.

It’s a pity that the gap between the two sides is not that big, and the number of people on the opposite side is too large.

Although the people in the front row were quickly defeated, more people rushed over from behind. The other side probably knew that the battle to decide the future throne was about to begin.

After the first wave was defeated, many nobles came directly to the front line with their elite guards.

The quality of the troops on both sides was quickly worn down. Although the morale on Rand's side was higher, the other side had been waiting for too long, unlike the 5th Legion, which had just experienced the wolf pack tactics of an unfamiliar force.

Soon Rand felt distressed. In order to facilitate command, in addition to those small nobles, Rand mixed many soldiers he had trained in his own dens into the infantry as grassroots officers.

Many of the soldiers in these dens had attended Rand's small classes, and Rand could remember many of their names.

But Rand also knew that he could not be weak on the battlefield.

The originally white snow soon turned into slush due to the trampling of both sides, and the slippery slush made it easy to fall.

Make the scene even more chaotic.

Then as the fighting continued, the snow mud quickly turned into blood mud.

In fact, in a sense, both sides have already fought a do-or-die battle. If they lose this one, basically everything will be over.

Rand stared at the battlefield intently, waving his flag from time to time.

The quality of the enemy's soldiers was too high, and Rand suspected that there were many followers of the God of Struggle among them.

Otherwise, the situation would not be so tense. If the command is not good and the quality of the soldiers is not high, then the numerical advantage would not be too great.

After all, the road is so wide, and the number of people facing each other at one time will not be that different.

But the courage of the opposing infantry was beyond Rand's imagination.

Rand looked at it for a while and ordered the guards to move forward.

Olenna walked up to Rand and said, "You said it yourself. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall."

She obviously believed that Rand's safety was the top priority. Without the protection of his guards in magic steel armor, Rand's risk factor would increase dramatically on the unpredictable battlefield.

"You will protect me, right?" Rand said softly.

Olenna sighed. She was not good at arguing, and Rand was always right, so even though she was worried, she would not really oppose Rand's decision.

He just said, "Call Elsa back."

Rand nodded, then ordered the guards to attack.

Many of the soldiers at the front were already exhausted. If they didn't launch a counterattack by elite troops, they would probably retreat, and the number of people on this side was already small.

But Rand did not regret reducing the number of troops, as those conscripts would only hinder his progress.

This royal guard clad in magic steel armor is truly a hopeless existence.

Because normal weapons are no different from mud to magic steel, and they can't even leave a scratch on the surface of the armor.

Unfortunately, due to the limitations of craftsmanship, there are still flaws in the gaps and joints of the armor, but the flaws are very small, especially when fifty people form two tight rows.

To use the words from Rand's previous life, it was a "wheelchair"! Unfortunately, there were too few people. If Rand could gather 10,000 people, no, 5,000 people, then the Pope of the Torch Church would come over and pour him tea!

But even with fifty people, there was still an overwhelming advantage in force.

After all, there is no need to worry about defense, and ordinary weapons are simply weak and powerless.

In this way, it was successfully delayed until the evening.

The fighting finally came to an end, with the Royal Guards losing three men, all due to bad luck.

Rand asked Olenna to write their names on parchment. This was agreed upon before the expedition. The Mother Goddess would not forget anyone who sacrificed for the sect, absolutely not!

The wives and children of these people will be taken care of by the den, and their names will be carved on the most conspicuous boulder in the den. If their parents are in the den, the den will also be responsible for supporting their parents.

All of these guards witnessed with their own eyes as the names of their fallen comrades were carefully recorded.

As for the soldiers in other hideouts, their names will also be sorted and recorded by Taner, and no one will be missed.

Except for the three who died, most of the other guards were just exhausted, some had minor injuries but no serious injuries.

After Rand dealt with the matter, he let the guards go and rest. He sat by the campfire, heated up the dry bread, and then tore off a piece and put it in his mouth.

By now both sides should know about the Third Prince's night attack, but Rand still arranged many people to patrol to prevent the other side from getting desperate and launching a night attack.

Olenna sat on a small stool and wiped the blood-stained swift sword in her hand with a piece of cloth. Due to the poor communication in this era, command basically relied on flags and shouts, so the commander could not be too far away from the front army.

From time to time, small groups of troops rushed forward.

However, Olenna's sword is of high quality. Ordinary iron weapons will become blunt after a while. Although the main killing method of the swift sword is stabbing, it has not suffered any damage after such a long time.

Seeing Rand's gaze, Olenna took the initiative to explain: "This was given to me by the White King. It is called Bee Sting."

Then Olenna added, "I want to buy a new sword."

This certainly can't be because the sword is not useful.

Rand did not ask this stupid question, but directly said: "There is an ancient forge at the bottom of the ruins."

This is of course referring to the remains of the hideout.

"But it seems that there is only one set of raw materials for making the artifact." Olenna had looked at the treasure map with Ellie.

Rand smiled and said, "The people who created the Ancient Forge certainly would not have only prepared the forge and the materials without trying to create the artifact themselves."

Olenna looked down at the campfire and said in a lighter voice, "I am not qualified to use artifact-level weapons."

Rand did not answer Olenna's question. He just said to himself, "I guess an adventurer will find a special weapon on the fourth or fifth floor."

Olenna actually doesn't care whether there are sharp weapons suitable for her or not. She won't be much weaker with ordinary weapons.

But she understood Rand's meaning very clearly. Olenna was somewhat glad that Rand was not a blockhead who did not understand human nature, but she was also somewhat resentful that Rand understood too much.

In fact, Rand only guessed a little, but because he had watched too many online dramas and novels, he would always subconsciously do things to avoid a bad ending.

As for what Olenna was really thinking, Rand didn't have the energy to guess.

He just continued: "Tomorrow is the decisive battle. How do we use the high-level ritual instruments of the Torch Church?"

Olenna is Rand's adjutant, secretary, personal bodyguard, clerk, and life assistant. Even if Rand's thoughts jump a little, she can still understand what he is saying very well.

He responded: "Do you think that there are people from the God of Struggle mixed in with the two legions of the Fourth Prince?"

Rand nodded slightly: "A lot of things don't make sense today."

"It will explode if it comes into contact with enough evil," Olenna explained. She also recalled her own dark history. It seemed that only Taner had no dark history in Rand's hands, while the rest had it.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

But maybe Lisa doesn't care about those things at all.

Rand nodded.

The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, the other side sounded the attack horn.

The vanguard troops' sharp blades, shining coldly, pointed at the 5th Legion along with the biting wind and snow.

Rand arranged for the soldiers to stay in the camp, but time was too tight and he did not have the skills. Otherwise, he could learn from Cao Cao to water the trees and build the city, which would have left the enemy dumbfounded.

Now they just put up some chevaux de frise and dug trenches overnight.

Unfortunately, it was soon filled with sandbags carried by civilians who rushed up under a hail of arrows.

Then the chevaux de frise was also knocked away with flesh and blood.

Then they broke open the gate of the camp and faced the 5th Legion infantry who were formed in a tight square in the camp.

At this time, the Fourth Prince no longer had the joy he had at the beginning, and fell into the same anxiety as the Third Prince. However, the situation was a little better, at least the main force of the Second Prince who might come to support him was confirmed to have been crippled.

And he has a trump card.

There were several more rounds of charges, and the opponent's offensive was extremely fierce.

Just when Rand was about to suppress his guards again, the main army of the Second Prince arrived. To be more precise, the incomplete main army arrived, and they started with several rounds of bombardment by mages.

The fourth prince ordered the reserve troops to attack the main army without hesitation, and then made up his mind to let them use the Rose-Red Orb.

He had previously tried to persuade the 3rd and 4th Legions to betray the Cult of the God of Struggle, but in doing so he also obtained some ruby ​​orbs from their corpses.

Monsters appeared on the battlefield.

The morale of the main army, which had already been severely damaged, was suddenly shaken, but fortunately, these monsters seemed to be unable to distinguish between friend and foe. The two legions of the Fourth Prince obviously did not know the news in advance, and their morale was also shaken.

And in Rand's eyes, isn't this an opportunity?

Rand led his guards to Tanner's army.

Rand divided the army once again last night, and now the soldiers in Taner's army are all the most elite and bravest warriors.

Rand took a quick look. The soldiers here, together with his personal guards, numbered only about four hundred people, but that was enough.

"Go ahead, target the fourth prince, I'm with you."

Without sufficient training, it would be impossible for the army of this era to fight on two fronts. As soon as the second prince arrived, the enemy side was vulnerable.

Now we just need to attack the central army.

There is no point in commanding now. If we can't resolve this charge, there probably won't be any chances later.

It looked like the second prince wouldn't be able to hold out for much longer.

Rand formed a formation with his guards and Tanr's frontal combat troops, and then advanced in unison.

The flashing of swords and the screams and roars.

This was the first time that Rand personally joined the army, and the first time he picked up a cold halberd, but now, he needed to stand here to boost the morale of the soldiers.

He will not miss any way to increase his chances of winning, even if it means putting himself in danger.

If we can't win, then the soldiers who died in the hideout this time would have sacrificed their lives in vain.

Olenna did not try to persuade him this time, but stood with Rand.

The quality of the troops this time was overwhelming. With the Royal Guards as the vanguard, the enemy legion's line was torn apart almost as soon as they made contact.

Then he pressed forward towards the fourth prince.

The fourth prince kept sending troops, but it was meaningless facing these soldiers.

Obviously, there was no one this powerful before.

But now, these people seem like machines, not afraid of death.

Rand has a high prestige in the army. At least when it comes to military issues, the minor nobles are convinced by him.

Among the soldiers in the hideout, Rand's prestige was so high that it was difficult to describe it.

Such people were holding weapons and standing with these soldiers.

The hideout also solved all the worries for these soldiers, as they knew how other conscripts were treated.

Everything is implied, this is a silent army.

The Fourth Prince was a little bit unacceptable at this time. According to the performance of the Fifth Legion, he could have waited until the Second Prince's main force was dealt with before turning back to deal with it. But now, the combat effectiveness of this army suddenly became stronger.

Even the fallen soldiers did not scream, and the surrounding soldiers did not look back at their comrades. All of them just silently and firmly stabbed the enemy's body with the weapons in their hands.

Is this an evil spirit? The king's throne is clearly before his eyes, and the miracle of victory has clearly taken place.

But everything was so powerless at this moment, he could only watch the front line being torn apart, as if everything before was just a bubble.

He wanted to be hysterical, but after getting angry, nothing could be changed.

Neither the elite noble guards nor the soldiers transformed into monsters could stop this army.

Just like that, after all the soldiers who tried to stop him were frightened, Rand walked up to the fourth prince.

Thousands of soldiers avoid white robes, even though many people's clothes and armor are not white.

"Why are you here?" This is the only thing that puzzled the Fourth Prince the most.

Did this Rand notice his movements from the beginning? Rand did not answer, but pressed his palm on the fourth prince's head and crushed it.

Only then did he have time to wipe the blood off his mask and look around.

All I see are backs.
