Mount and Blade

"Infantry formation!!"

"All cavalrymen dismount immediately to meet the enemy, all ranged troops gather in the center of the team, reload immediately!!"

Almost at the moment when the ambushes on both sides emerged, Trunks immediately issued instructions, and everyone, including him, took action immediately. The infantry moved the fastest. Three or four rows of Barkley's heavy-armored soldiers lined up on both sides instantly, stacking the black-bottomed double-headed eagle-screaming fan-shaped shields in their hands to resist the arrows that were about to fly. Barkley's heavy-armored crossbowmen were squatting in the square formation composed of infantrymen with shields on their backs to load ammunition. Only the shields on their backs could help them resist the arrows that penetrated the shield wall.

Ignoring the horses, I could only pat their butts to let them run away temporarily. Whether they could survive depended on their lives. The knights formed a scale armor formation with their shields in their hands. The knights who had followed Trunks for many years quickly formed a formation before the crossbows of the snake worship warriors shot, and the arrows shot on the shields ping-pong.

There were screams of soldiers being shot by arrows. Most of the soldiers who were shot would not live long. After all, it was not the style of the Snake Cult not to apply venom on their weapons. Even if they did not die from the venom, the ulceration and infection of the wounds entering the blood circulation and causing sepsis would kill them.

"Shoot!!"

Trunks issued a command while the enemy had run out of ammunition. Barkley's long-range troops were all composed of crossbowmen. The rainy weather did not have a great impact on the crossbowmen, but they were still in a disadvantageous situation from shooting from low to high. Judging from the number of crossbow arrows, the total number of the enemy was no more than a thousand. Perhaps they should take the opportunity to attack. However, the enemy obviously wanted to start a tug-of-war. After all, there was enough space for pulling in the woods on both sides, but just standing there and being consumed was a very difficult thing to bear.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh" "Click, click"

The sound of arrows flying through the rain and the sound of changing crossbow arrows echoed in my ears. Then, another round of arrow rain came. The soldiers in the front row also dragged back the injured and dead comrades. The shields changed layer by layer, gradually filling the position and gap left by the previous person.

Trunks frowned and was thinking whether to take the initiative to launch an offensive to force the Snake Worshipers back. The sound of horse hooves trampled through the muddy land. It turned out that hundreds of Barclay heavy lancers under Isos were charging at the Snake Worshipers.

Are all the people from the royal capital idiots? This heavy rain will not end for a while. The horses can't even stand steadily on the muddy road. Even the rain will affect the horses' vision, let alone charging?

"There are still people on the other side, Trunks. I heard their steps are not very consistent. There are about a thousand people charging towards this side from the forest."

Seranti's ears are very sensitive. Even under the noise of rain and arrows, he can feel those unusual changes.

"Are they villagers who were taken by the Snake Cult?"

Trunks frowned. It was too late to call them back now. He could only watch the cavalrymen, some of whose horses had accidentally fallen and some of whose bodies had been hit by arrows, rushing into the enemy camp.

"Ahhhh!!"

"Believe in the Snake God, and you will have eternal life. Charge forward to get the favor of the Snake God Az Dakha, warriors, countless glory and wealth are ahead! Hiss..."

Accompanied by a female voice that bewitched the crowd, a group of villagers with scarlet eyes, equipped with tattered equipment, jumped out from behind the Snake Cult warriors. The pitchforks and sticks in their hands could not cause any effective damage to Barkley's heavy cavalry, but they successfully stopped the cavalry, and then a terrible thing happened.

The mob dragged the heavy cavalry off their horses little by little, and beat them with pitchforks and sticks, trampling them under their feet in the most primitive way, as if they had lost their minds. Although the heavy cavalry desperately waved their swords, they gained little. With the call of the priestess, the group of Snake Cult warriors in green robes fell into a frenzy as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and nearly half of them uncontrollably participated in the lineup of exterminating the cavalry.

"Good opportunity, Wilder, you and I will each lead half of the army to repel the people of the Snake Cult."

"Understood."

Wilder nodded and immediately went to gather the people of the Holy Dragon Knights.

"The first and second squads of infantry, the first and second squads of crossbowmen, the former heavy cavalry will charge with me, and the rest of the squads will charge with Wilder!!"

Trunks' bright red armor was also particularly eye-catching in the rain, especially his golden heavy halberd that could be recognized even in the rain. All the soldiers from Pence immediately set up their offensive postures and followed Trunks' footsteps to charge.

Saint Reis, who was far away in the Snake Cult's stronghold, observed every move in the crystal ball. Her poisonous purple lips curved upwards, and then she rolled her eyes and chanted a new spell around the crystal ball with many priestesses in the audience.

The priestesses at the edge of the battlefield suddenly seemed to be controlled by Reiss. Their eyes rolled back abnormally, and black lines on their skin climbed up their entire faces, like big snakes clinging and twisting on their pale skin, blending into their snake-shaped helmets and exuding a weirdness.

"The sleepless who died in their homeland, turned into a devourer of the power of the snake god, the fall of the empire is about to sound, respond to the call of the goddess!! (Snake Cult language)"

"Kill!!"

The moment the army led by Trunks rushed into the team of snake cult believers and followers, blood splashed in the rain, nourishing the soil together with the rain. The blood-stained golden halberds cut scarlet flowers in the rain, and continued to harvest the lives of those whose souls had already fallen.

Uniformly cut in half!!

When Trunks swung the weapon in his hand, the surrounding soldiers subconsciously made way for an open area to let him play.

Seranti's attention was around Green. In close combat, he directly replaced the shield and took out the scimitar in his left hand. When facing non-heavy armored enemies, the double-edged blades had an extraordinary harvesting efficiency. A few shadows passed by, and the enemy didn't even realize what happened, and he covered his throat in confusion and died in the northwest.

The long pointed ears under Seranti's hood caught the voices of several snake priestesses chanting and determined their positions. It was too late to support Wilde now, so he could only get rid of the priestesses on one side as soon as possible.

"Trunks, I heard their position. We need to get rid of them as soon as possible. The priestesses have already started chanting."
