Chapter 245： Crossing the river (below)

"kill!"

A dwarf general covered in heavy armor jumped off the boat vigorously, and as soon as he got off the boat, an arrow feather shot into his eyes.

But he also tilted his head slightly, causing the arrow to hit the helmet, making a clink.

Afterwards, the most powerful Tier 5 fighter of the Dawson family roared and smashed the sledgehammer on the ground.

boom!

The manic shock wave spread quickly, and the already soft beach head instantly sank, as if a giant underground beast suddenly opened its mouth and swallowed hundreds of soldiers from the Golden Lion Army.

Tumu laughed wildly and roared like a beast:

"Rush up! Shred these humans and shatter them!"

As soon as this powerful Tier 5 fighter came out, he greeted the Golden Lion Legion in his own way.

The dense array of the Golden Lion Legion was immediately torn open by a big gap, and Tumu rushed up first, and the dwarf heavy infantry wing he followed behind also roared and rushed into the army of the Golden Lion Legion.

The front line of the Golden Lion Corps kept retreating under the impact of the dwarven heavy-armored infantry. The swords, bows and arrows in their hands could hardly break through the defenses of the heavy armor.

To cause damage to these dwarven heavy armored infantry, you need a special weapon-warhammer.

However, the Cavaliers did not expect the dwarves to put the most elite heavy-armored infantry on the battlefield so quickly, so they did not send the Warhammer Company to the front.

For a time, the beachhead defense line of the Golden Lion Army retreated again and again, and the dwarven heavy-armored infantry plunged into the human army like sharp knives, and continued to draw patches of blood stains forward.

The bravery of the elite dwarf troops was vividly demonstrated at this moment.

More and more dwarf infantry passed the pontoon bridge and finally gained a foothold in the shallow water.

The Knights of Cambenin suddenly couldn't sit still when seeing this place, and quickly prepared to order the Warhammer Company to attack forward and dispatch more soldiers to grab the beachhead.

However, Colin shook his head and stopped the Camberin Knights: "Don't worry, let the frontline troops withdraw first. The beachhead will be given to the dwarves."

The Cambenin knight hesitated for a moment, but thought that the Viscount Anglia was said to be the most important general of the Marquis Garcia, and he had achieved great victories in Silvermoon City and the Troll Empire. Of course, he was not a layman who did not understand military. Nodding:

"Yes!"

Mage Kusius, who has been a transparent person next to him, suddenly said, "Viscount Angley, if you need it, I can help you destroy the dwarf's pontoon."

Colin looked back in surprise, and looked up and down Vera's teacher with a scrutiny gaze. After a while, he smiled and said, "I don't know if I ask you to do it. What is the price?"

"No cost!" Cusius smiled and shook his head, with a sincere expression on his face.

But Colin was secretly slandering-free is the most expensive.

He didn't know what idea this Mage Kusius had made, but he didn't relax his vigilance at all.

"Don't bother you for the time being, just the Dawson family, the Golden Lion Corps is not too much to deal with it."

In fact, Colin's plan was to let a part of the dwarven army cross the river, and then attack halfway.

In this blocking battle, his idea is to fight the Dawson family!

Only in this way can it be ensured that when the Golden Lion army withdraws, the Dawson family dare not cross the river to pursue it easily.

If Kusius is allowed to cast spells to destroy the pontoon bridge, or if the dwarves can't cross the river by holding on to the beach, it won't really cause enough casualties to the dwarven army.

Although allowing the dwarves to stand firm on the beach will make the next battle more difficult, it is a price that has to be paid.

The Bachelor of Dawn helped Colin determine the strategic policy of "defending", but Colin would not hesitate when he needed to take the initiative to attack.

Moreover, the more you want to withdraw, the more you have to make the enemy think that you want to fight forever.

Therefore, Colin prepared to fight this battle of crossing the river as a decisive battle.

With the retreat of the Golden Lion Corps, more and more dwarves and soldiers crossed the bridge, gradually forming an array on the south bank of the River Flowing.

However, they did not chase rashly, but were waiting for more friendly troops to cross the river.

The Marquis Dawson on the other side saw that his army succeeded in occupying the beachhead so quickly, he suddenly laughed and said, "It's nothing more than the Golden Lion Army!"

The dwarf officer on the side also smiled and replied: "After all, it was a mess the night before, so I'm probably dozing off right now."

"That can't be taken lightly." The Marquis Dawson narrowed his smile and said sternly.

"Yes!"

...

After a **** fight at the beginning, the battlefield suddenly quieted down at this moment, as if it had entered an intermission time.

More and more dwarves crossed the rushing river. In the afternoon, the number of dwarves crossing the river had exceeded 10,000. Moreover, they began to build simple fortifications on the beachhead, preparing to build a "bridgehead".

Of course, the Golden Lion Corps is not idle either.

Colin first gave the soldiers a full meal, and then arranged some guard troops to prevent the dwarves from suddenly attacking, and then let the main force return to the camp to catch up.

After all, there was a night of trouble yesterday, and most of the soldiers' spirits were indeed not in the best condition. Seeing that the dwarves were busy crossing the river and building fortifications, Colin asked his soldiers to take a rest and raise their spirits.

Originally, he was worried that the dwarf would send a small group of troops to harass, but until two or three o'clock in the afternoon, the dwarf still had no intention of attacking.

Colin immediately understood that the Marquis Dawson on the other side was a commander in a conservative style.

This can actually be guessed. After all, the Marquis Dawson was mainly responsible for logistics in the Black Cavalry, and of course it was impossible to have a radical personality.

Prudent and conservative is certainly not a shortcoming, but if you are too cautious and hesitate to go up when you see the right fighter, it will let the opportunity slip through your fingers in vain.

What's more, in Colin's view, if the Marquis Dawson really chooses a conservative strategy, he should not choose to cross the river, but should continue to wait for the Maynum family's army to arrive.

Once you choose to cross the river, you are at a strategic disadvantage, because the dwarf army will naturally be divided into two sections by the dwarven moat.

It is impossible to really connect the broken army together by that floating bridge alone.

Now it seems that the dwarven army's process of crossing the river seems to be proceeding smoothly, but when the Golden Lion Army really launches a general offensive, they will taste the pain of being unable to advance or retreating.

And the Marquis Dawson will also understand that he has missed the best time to defeat the Golden Lions.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the Golden Lion Army, which had already been replenished, regrouped, and the spirits of the soldiers suddenly took on a new look.

Colin and Vera stood on a makeshift high platform with two coffins beside them.

One contained the "remains" of the Duke of St. Hild, and the other contained the "remains" of Charles St. Hild.

The reason why both corpses are quoted is because neither of them are real corpses.

The Duke of St. Hilde is a stone statue that has been dropped, and Charles, um, is not dead yet...

"Go." Colin let go of Vera's hand, his eyes full of encouragement.

Vera nodded slightly, and then came to the front of the stage alone.

The two coffins were placed behind her, and the afternoon sun shone straight down through the clouds, as if covering her with a holy halo.

"My father is dead.

My brother is also dead. "

Vera's crisp but determined voice spread through the wilderness through an amplified magic.

Just the two words that came up made the faces of the Golden Lion Corps soldiers present look ashamed.

They have always boasted of "Holy Hild's Shield", but they have failed to protect the lord to whom they are loyal.

Vera's words continue: "But I believe that father and brother will not have any resentment before they die, because like all Saint Hilds, they have sworn to protect the north!

They are willing to lay down their lives for the North!

me too!

No matter how powerful the rebel army is, no matter how terrible the enemy is, I will never allow the people of the North to fall into endless war Never allow this land to be full of killing and evil!

Warriors of the Golden Lion Legion, are you willing to join me in fighting for the North? "

"Sworn to the death to protect the north!" The Cambenin knight yelled as he stood under the stage.

"Swear to the death to protect the northern border!"

"Swear to the death to protect the northern border!"

...

One after another voices gradually converged into a slogan, resounding through this land, so that the sound of the rushing river's waves gradually became a murmur that was covered.

Colin squinted and looked at Vera, who was cheering from the tens of thousands of Golden Lion Army soldiers, as if seeing another woman in a daze.

Half-elf queen Aisha Miller.

It seemed that Vera had indeed learned a lot from getting along with Silvermoon City.

Colin firmly believes that with the passage of time and enrichment of experience, Vera will gradually grow into a qualified Lord of the North.
