Ten minutes later, Keizer's army was only one kilometer away from the temporary garrison. Although the clear appearance of their soldiers could not be seen, the tens of thousands of troops still maintained their original order even after a forced march. Even Nicholas had to face them.
I admire Keizer's ability to lead troops.
Nicholas quietly waited for the arrival of Keizer's army. The soldiers were already gearing up, and Singer and other magicians were also ready for battle, just waiting for Nicholas' orders.
Keizer's army advanced one hundred meters, but Nicholas did not issue an order to fight; Keizer's army advanced another hundred meters, only 800 meters away from the main army, and Nicholas still showed no sign of advancing.
He needs an opportunity to let his magicians launch a powerful wave of magic attacks!
In addition, if one's own army moves rashly and the formation is disrupted, it will be a disaster for the opponent if the magician of the other side is hidden in the army.
Keizer's army finally stopped seven hundred meters ahead.
This distance couldn't be said to be far, Nicholas could even feel the same high-spirited momentum coming from the opposing army.
At this moment, a tall fiery red figure was running towards Nicholas quickly.
It is a magical beast, a blood-eyed horse that is rare on the mainland and is equally powerful in terms of speed and defense.
"Hahaha, how are General Nicholas doing these days?"
There is a person sitting on the horseback of the sixth-level monster Blood Eye, laughing heartily. The voice can be heard clearly by every soldier, and it is obvious that he has used his inner strength. This person is naturally Keizer.
Keizer is one of the best generals in the Appomato Kingdom. He has been stationed at the northern border all year round and is very familiar with the northern border. In several contests with Nicholas, he did not lose at all. He is the border that Nicholas believes
One of the most difficult generals in history.
Keizer was forty years old, tall as a horse, with a tiger's back and an ape's arms and a bear's waist. At this time, he was fully armed and looked like a fierce and fierce general. But Nicholas knew that many strong men were actually inconspicuous.
Yes, the "rough man" in front of me is not simple either.
Keizer, who seems to have well-developed limbs and strong nerves, is actually a general with both civil and military skills. His wisdom is no less than that of a civilian counselor. And I heard that this man started as an ordinary soldier and rose up step by step based on his military merit.
.It can be said that he survived from the pile of dead people and relied on his strength and wisdom to reach his current position.
Such a person is naturally not an ordinary person. In several contests with him, Nicholas found that Keizer is a guy who has a great perspective on the overall situation and is well versed in the essence of the art of war! Therefore, since learning about Appomato's attack this time,
After finding out who the commander was, Nicholas began to be more careful.
"Your King Weitut is really good at timing! If we hadn't been prepared early, we might not have known anything when your Keizer army came to the border!" Nicholas smiled with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
Keizer was indeed an old fox. He had no reaction to Nicholas's sarcasm. He remained calm and laughed again, "Sneak attack? With you, General Nicholas, in charge, no matter how fast we are, can we still succeed in a sneak attack?"
"In that case, Keizer, you came here blatantly to call for battle without looking at your own strength. Aren't you afraid that I will kill you all?"
While Nicholas was talking to Keizer, hoping to delay time, he was waiting anxiously, hoping that the Spike Team could determine the location of the opponent's magician team as soon as possible.
Although Nicholas behaved quietly, Keizer's judgment was enough to figure out the reason why Nicholas was worried.
"Nicholas, you must have arranged magicians in front to greet us! And you piled up such a large number of soldiers in front of me just to scare me?"
Nicholas said nothing.
Keizer seemed very proud and said: "General Nicholas, are you worried about my magician? You can call your people back. I, Keizer, will not tell secrets. There is no magician in this operation."
join."
Nicholas smiled half-heartedly, raised his sword eyebrows, and said noncommittally: "Just because of the army behind you?"
Keizer rode the blood-eyed horse, turned around and ran back, "You will see it soon. I hope this is a face-to-face contest."
Keizer returned to the army and his troops began to march again. Since he told Nicholas that this time it would be a face-to-face fight, Keizer did not have to worry about Nicholas' magicians attacking his army.
Facing the approaching step by step of Keizer's army, the Northern Army became even more excited and wanted to rush over immediately and fight the enemy.
As expected, Nicholas calmly withdrew Singer and others. Although I don’t know why Keizer didn’t send out the magician, but since the other party explained what he said, Nicholas still believed in Keizer’s character, just like Keizer believed in Nicholas.
He would not send out magicians to deal with him at this time.
Just as Keizer was approaching, suddenly a leader of the Spike Team sent Nicholas a shocking news: Keizer's thousand dragon mounts were all from the former Neo City Dragoon Soldiers!
The leader's mount dragon is none other than the mount of Hilario, the former top officer of Neo City, the sixth-level green dragon Richie! The Spike Squad had not discovered it before, but it was a member of the Spike Squad after Keizer's army marched again.
With sharp eyes, he recognized this conspicuous green dragon at a glance.
The discovery of this news forced Nicholas to reconsider Keizer's inner plan.
Before coming to Neo City to serve as the leader of the Dragoon Regiment, Nicholas had been the leader of the Ace Legion's Heavy Cavalry Regiment. But just six months later, the situation within the Northern Army suddenly changed, and the city of Neo, which had always been calm, suddenly experienced turmoil.
Under the instigation and threats of Captain Hilario, all the mounted dragons and nearly a quarter of the dragoons fled with him and ran to neighboring Appomato!
After the defection incident, the hearts of the Northern Legion were greatly shaken. Fortunately, the adjustment work was done very well, so that Appomato did not have the opportunity to take advantage of it. However, the empire still suffered extremely heavy losses! One thousand dragons, even if they are not authentic direct
Dragons are some subspecies dragons of about fourth level, but they are also very precious. Even a mount dragon cannot be measured in money, let alone a thousand!
You must know that in order to capture or obtain these mounted dragons, the empire not only paid a large amount of gold coins, but also used a huge network of relationships, and even sacrificed many dragon-catching warriors to establish five dragon-riding soldier regiments.
Ao Cheng Dragoon Soldiers! But no one thought that all these hard-earned and well-tamed subspecies of dragons would disappear overnight!
It was under this worrying situation that the empire sent Nicholas to serve as the supreme commander of the empty Neo City Legion and be responsible for forming a new regiment of dragoon soldiers.
Therefore, in the past six months, in addition to transferring some sub-species dragons from the other four dragoon soldier regiments and recruiting some talents who are good at training dragons, Nicholas has worked hard to obtain new sub-species dragons. Fortunately, with the full assistance of the empire,
, it took half a year for Neo City to be successfully established, and it once again had 1,500 dragon mounts.
However, compared with the thousand dragon knights led by Keizer, the Neo City Dragoon Soldiers were inferior in terms of combat experience and human-dragon tacit understanding. This was a gap that could not be bridged in half a year.
At the moment, Keizer's wishful thinking is clearly to let the Noqi Empire's own dragons kill each other. The truth is too cruel!
But Keizer's army had already started to move forward, and by the time the army arrived a hundred meters away from Nicholas' garrison.
"Keizer, what are you doing?" Nicholas asked, pointing to the thousand mount dragons.
"Since General Hilario has turned from darkness to light and joined us at Appomato, these dragons naturally belong to our combat force. We have never doubted General Hilario's character, but the more than two hundred dragons who followed him
Knights, we can't figure out their hearts, so the original dragon knights of the empire have been controlling these dragons all these years. Of course, everything is possible. In order to prevent these dragons from defecting in battle, we have to do
I just used some tricks to make these big guys obedient."
"Haha, Hilario has been planning for a long time to join you in Appomato, and then used these dragons as a greeting gift to become the General Hilario you call him. However, now these dragons have been taken over by your Veitut
The king, using such a despicable method to deal with him, I really don’t know whether it is Hilario’s sorrow or Veitu’s sorrow.”
After finishing speaking, Nicholas' face straightened, and he issued an order loudly: "The dragon knights will take off, the heavy cavalry will attack first, the infantry will follow, and the soldiers will charge with me!" After saying this, he took the lead in riding his horse towards the enemy.
Keizer took his time and his troops began to move in an orderly manner. In the blink of an eye, the earth shook on the plain, dust filled the air, and the battle between the two sides began!
