Aslan counterattacked twice in a row, destroying the morale of the coalition forces. If it were not for Thor, an old knight, to stabilize the situation, the coalition of lords would have been defeated long ago.
The short old man in the woods said lightly.
"According to the plan, Lord Mero will win this battle, it just depends on the price he has to pay."
Gareth seemed to respect the old man in front of him very much, but he still couldn't see where Lord Mero's chances of winning were.
"Master Merlin! I still don't understand."
The short old man is the prophet of the dwarf clan in the Changfeng Plain. He is a powerful mage and the strongest combat power in the Changfeng Plain.
"Morale! The morale of the coalition forces has dropped to freezing point. On the other hand, the morale of the Merlot Army is at its peak. With the belief trend of protecting the homeland, the Merlot Army can exert 200% combat effectiveness. If Lord Merlot
Dare to seize the opportunity to launch a massive attack, with a 90% certainty of defeating the coalition forces and ending this war at the same time. If Lord Mero is afraid of casualties and waits for the coalition forces to recover, the Merlo region will fall into the quagmire of war."
The others nodded solemnly. They very much hoped that Lord Mero and the lords of the Billy region would fall into the quagmire of war, so that they would have no time to take care of them in the Changfeng Plain.
Unfortunately, their thoughts are always just extravagant hopes. Aslan will never allow the Mero region to be dragged into the quagmire of war. He also plans to use the advantage of foresight to vigorously develop the Mero region and prepare for the future unification of the Kingdom of Cleveland.
Since he was reborn once, his vision and goals are naturally higher.
He wants to become the supreme king of the Kingdom of Cleveland, and then use this as a starting point to complete the great tasks that were not completed in his previous life.
"The whole army advances slowly!" Aslan handed the knight's body to several soldiers, rode back to the front of the formation, and gave the order decisively.
The crossbowmen advanced slowly, so the soldier had already loaded the Merlot crossbow, holding a crossbow arrow in his other hand, and was ready to re-string the crossbow and load the arrow when the crossbow arrow was fired, maximizing the speed.
Their daily training is to shoot ten crossbow arrows within one minute.
The biggest improvement of the Merlot Crossbow is that it is equipped with pulleys, which greatly increases the attack speed. It is not only much better than its predecessor, the Big Yellow Crossbow.
The Merlot army began to advance, causing a commotion among the coalition forces, forcing Thor to kill nearly a hundred people in a row before barely stabilizing the formation, but the formation was at a slow retreat speed.
The formations of both sides moved forward and back, covering a distance of more than fifty meters. Thor watched the flags of attack continue to be played on the Meili River. Thor secretly cursed in his heart, raised the knight's sword in his hand, and shouted loudly.
"Charge the whole army! As long as this battle is won, all the slave soldiers will be free. Not just you, your wife and children will no longer be slaves, but will be subjects under the lord's rule, enjoying all the treatment of free people."
Thor rode his war horse and ran to the military formation on the other side. The soldiers there were better equipped and more powerful, and the overall number was only one-third of the slave soldiers.
"On the day that Lord Merlo is defeated and Merlo Town is conquered, you are allowed to have a carnival for three days. The gold coins you grab are yours, and the women you grab are yours. As long as you can grab them, they are all yours."
The slave soldier was excited. Freedom was what he had dreamed of his whole life.
The freedmen soldiers also cheered. Their purpose in joining the war was not to serve their lords, but to come for gold coins and women.
When Aslan heard Thor's declaration of war, he smiled coldly and shouted loudly.
"Did you all hear that?"
"I heard it!" All the officers and soldiers of the Merlot Army shouted in unison. Their uniform and murderous voices were like alarm bells, hitting the hearts of the coalition soldiers hard.
It was the first time they heard such a deafening sound.
"Then what should we do?" Aslan raised his spear and shouted.
"Kill them all!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Many of the coalition soldiers who were still in a frenzied state couldn't help but calm down under the burning murderous intent.
The Merlot army began to advance.
Many soldiers of the coalition army also began to advance. Their desire for victory made them completely lose their fear of death.
Phew…
The crossbowmen of the Merlot Army began to fire arrows, then retreated after shooting the arrows, cocked the arrows, and stepped forward to shoot arrows again.
Simple and mechanical movements.
The coalition soldiers fell down like wheat, but the slave soldiers behind still rushed up with crazy shouts.
At a distance of 350 meters, facing the charging coalition soldiers only lasted forty seconds.
At this time, each crossbowman is also allowed to shoot seven arrows, which is definitely a super long performance.
"The crossbowmen retreat! Get into formation."
Arthur estimated the distance, and there was still fifty meters. Every three of the crossbowmen quickly lined up and retreated in order. The empty positions were filled by elite infantry. They stacked their shields in layers, like a shield wall standing in front of them.
.
The spear infantry at the rear also quickly took up their positions and thrust their spears through the gaps between the shields, making the original shield wall as terrifying as a hedgehog.
The distance between the two sides was only ten meters, and Aslan stood behind the shield wall and shouted loudly.
"Hold on!"
Bang!
There was a loud noise, and some soldiers hit the shield wall with their bodies. Although they were quickly pricked into hedgehogs, more and more coalition troops ran into them frantically, causing the shield wall to shake.
The spears and swords kept waving between the gaps in the shield wall, and blood kept splattering. The numerical advantage was slowly revealed at this moment, and they actually pushed the shield wall and slowly retreated.
Aslan waved his hand, and the crossbowmen who had withdrawn began to open another quiver, which contained another type of arrow.
The arrow is larger than ordinary arrows, and has a slightly curved shape. It also has barbs and blood grooves on it. It has weak armor-piercing ability, but is extremely lethal. Once a person is shot, he will lose his combat ability for a short time.
And because the corners on the arrow will create a reaction force in the air, causing the arrow to tilt downward.
It's called a falling arrow for short.
The crossbowmen were a full 150 meters away from the battlefield ahead. At Gawain's order, dense arrows were shot out of the air. As the reaction force and kinetic energy of the arrows were exhausted, the crossbow arrows drew an arc and fell.
in coalition positions.
Artoria, who had been watching the battle silently, suddenly stood up with a look of disbelief on her face.
"What kind of arrow is this?"
The shouts of killing shook the sky. Aslan took a deep breath and actually shouted with his spear: "Knights and guards, charge with me."
Less than twenty knights and two hundred guards walked out of the battle formation and charged towards the enemy's left wing, while the right wing was constantly being consumed by crossbowmen.
Aslan stabbed a slave soldier with his spear, and a slave soldier was thrown away. With a sweep of his spear, he directly hit the head of a slave soldier who was about to move forward, and blood spattered everywhere.
Baos guarded Aslan fiercely, dancing like a tiger with his crescent halberd in his hand.
