Soldiers wearing black armor were walking on the streets of cities and towns. They complied with the orders of the current rulers of the country to recruit soldiers everywhere.
"Let my child go, please, he is only 16 years old." An old mother knelt at the door and kept praying.
"Let go!" The captain holding the halberd kicked away, asked his men to pull the old woman away, and then shouted to the surrounding houses with a loud voice.
"All men of appropriate age have the obligation to contribute to the country. Now is the moment when a new empire rises, and we will surely become its glorious members."
As he spoke, a high flag was also erected. The white flag had seven dark blue roses on it, which is the symbol of the Frost Alliance today.
"Don't be frightened by the current difficulties. This is an extremely glorious moment, and you will be grateful for your choice today in the future."
"Thank me. I gave you this rare opportunity to become a glorious warrior, fight for this flag, become a master in the future, and gain money, beauty, glory, etc."
Under his exaggerated and confident speech, a group of people gradually became excited.
Now in the Black Rock Principality, the Halberd Sect has ruled most of the areas. After the Bow Hunter Sect failed several times, the originally neutral people have gradually lost hope in it, and at this time, taking sides seems to be a good choice.
In this country surrounded by mountains and lakes, fighting for money and power is not a shameful thing. Nowadays, the Halberd Sect has only greatly exaggerated this aspect.
A wooden door creaked open, and a thin man walked out shakily. He looked at the group of soldiers holding weapons and asked in a low voice.
"Is this all true? I can also get endless money and beautiful...beautiful women?" His face was pale and red.
Looking at the person who came out first, the captain had a split smile on his face. He strode forward, patted him on the back and said.
"Yes, even if you can, you can even marry four wives and get boxes of gold coins." He made a gesture, as if he was holding something extremely rare.
"Then...then I'll join." The man's eyes glowed with greed.
"Hahaha, yes, that's it. Congratulations, you made a wise decision."
As the airships went north along the Sighing Mountains, boxes of armor, weapons, gold coins and clothing were transported to the Black Rock Principality. With the support of these materials, the Halberds began to recruit troops on a large scale and continued to sweep away the remaining hunters in the territory. Bow faction.
Finally, in November, they marched south, raided into Nied County, and opened up a third battlefield. The intensity of the war between the two alliances increased by one level.
Thumb—thump—
Urgent bells rang in various towns in Nied County. With the outbreak of the border war, reserve forces from various places who were already training were urgently recruited and began to gather to prepare for war.
Among the mountains and canyons, groups of soldiers lined up in neat formations and marched towards Tiezhen City, the county capital. There are now sufficient weapons and armors there, which can be used to arm local soldiers.
And on the border, the war has begun.
Woo——
A long and desolate horn sounded, and soldiers carrying ironwood shields set up their spears, forming a thick line of defense to block the enemy's advance on the other side of the canyon.
On the side of Black Rock, the leader wearing full armor also waved flags, arranging his halberds in a square formation, and the fully covered silver armor shone brightly in the sun.
"attack!"
Under the command of the leader of the Halberd Faction, the soldiers holding their halberds high began to advance, and the military formation on the Crancia side was also ready. With nervous breathing, each soldier grasped the shields and spears in their hands.
And when the two sides were about 50 meters apart, the halberd bearers on Heiyan's side suddenly stepped aside, revealing the team behind them holding dark muskets.
Rows of muskets were aimed at the military formation on the Crancia side. After a brief aiming, a short burst of fire lighted up, followed by continuous and intensive gunshots. Lead bullets were rapidly drawn by the gunpowder.
Passing through the air, smashing into pieces those thick shields.
The iron sheet lifted up, sawdust flew, and the bullet penetrated the armor and entered the human body with high temperature and heat.
The garrison maintaining the line suddenly suffered many casualties. Seeing this, the Crancia officer immediately waved his order after thinking for a few seconds.
"Advance the entire army!"
You can't retreat. At such a close distance, retreating will only allow the enemy to pursue them as much as they want, resulting in a rout of casualties. While moving forward will certainly cause injuries and sacrifice many people, but the opponent's musket reloading speed is not fast, and you can use this opportunity to close the distance.
Only by engaging in close combat can the advantage be greatly offset and the advantages of the musket cannot be fully utilized.
However, not all armies can issue such an order. If it were the West Wind in the past, such an order would only make the lower-level soldiers more frightened and collapse.
However, in today's Crancia, the blood of the revolution has not yet dissipated, and it is still a hot and boiling era.
"Come on!"
After the commander gave the order, the former soldiers raised their shields and ran quickly, shouting the cry of charge, which shocked the soldiers on the opposite side.
But at this time, the musketeers in the front row had finished shooting. In the rush, facing such a tense moment, the loader on the spot was also a little unstable, and instead went slower than usual.
Seeing this scene, the leader on the Black Rock side immediately shouted, asking the musketeers in the front row to step back and let the halberdiers behind defend the enemy.
As a result, the shields and halberds immediately collided, and a fierce and cruel close combat ensued.
The front line is constantly impacted and pulled. Black Rock is supported by the high-quality weapons of the Frost Alliance, and after Clanscia's steel-making in the past two years, its armor has also made great progress than before. There is no obvious gap in equipment between the two sides.
As the battle progressed, the excellent and unified military qualities of Crancia began to appear. With the effective adjustment and integration of grassroots officers, gaps in the formations of various sizes were torn open, and Black Rock had to send more rear troops.
Military formations filled the gap.
At this moment, a man holding a heavy long sword walked out of the military formation behind Black Rock. He was wearing pitch-black armor and exuding a fierce aura. As he walked into the army, a special resonance filled the air.
rising among the soldiers in the military formation.
As if he suddenly gained courage and great strength, the long halberds struck down hard. The sharp halberd blades broke through the steel armor and smashed into it. There was the sound of broken bones, and there was a burst of blood splashing and a painful roar.
"That is Lord Snow's number one warrior, Tai Muge."
Waves of shouts came from the halberd formation, and the momentum of this group of soldiers also climbed higher and higher with the arrival of the epee warrior.
Sequence of War 7·Barbaric Edge Heavy Sword, Taimuge, resonates with the core of its Sequence of War, and the surrounding soldiers receive a large increase in strength and courage.
His presence greatly made up for the lack of willpower and lack of coordination of the soldiers of the Black Rock Principality, gradually suppressing the well-trained Clancia defenders. The situation on the battlefield also gradually began to deviate.
