Beneath the Red Dragon
Chapter 895: Troops Advance on Three Fronts, Sweeping Seventy Cities of Three Kingdoms! (Part 3)
“Meaningless struggle,”
The Legion Commander of the Land Heavy Armor Legion, the outstanding commander of the Golden Empire, Gilenis, exerted slight force at his feet. He stared at the Holy Knight Lea, clad in a beautifully white-patterned heavy armor, while the Dragon Horn Hammer in his hand started to come alive under the master’s will.
As a powerful Warrior rewarded in the planar battles, Gilenis not only received the promotion commendation from the Imperial Central Military Commission upon returning to the Imperial.
The Dragon Horn Hammer in his hand was personally endowed with a constant Magic blessing by the Golden Empire’s Emperor Karon Gogomola.
In Gilenis’s hand, although this Dragon Horn Heavy Hammer couldn’t compare to those Legendary Sacred Artifacts long circulated in the Icaria World, it was the most formidable weapon in the hands of Holy Sanctuary Warriors.
Those javelins launched by Noble Knights, carrying strong kinetic energy and augmented by the knight’s power, could easily penetrate heavy shields, but under Gilenis’s Dragon Horn Hammer, they couldn’t touch his treasured heavy Armor.
An overwhelming force began to pulsate and soar within Gilenis’s chest and body, accompanied by the surging force completely shattering those javelins.
Gilenis started to move forward from the center of the Legion’s array. The blazing Light of the Soul was almost physically projected from the face armor of this Legion Commander.
As the commander of the Legion, Gilenis actually didn’t need to fight on the front lines at the start of the battle like a Warrior.
But the power of that raging Holy Knight Lea was too strong. The armored cavalry from the Rose Duchy, following behind Lea, although many Warriors were lost to the bombardment of the Alchemy Legion and hundreds of Armored Warriors were slain by the Elf Sword Dancers and Demon Archer Corps, still managed to break through the first line of heavy shields in the Golden Empire.
Originally, without the cooperation of infantry Legions, cavalry charging the front in force was an extremely foolish choice. But under the blood-courage leading charge of Lea, the Holy Knight, this armored cavalry and heavy armor Legion unexpectedly saw the dawn of miracle creation.
At this moment, the Noble Knights abandoned all tactics, forsook the maneuvering charge tactics for direct confrontation, and engaged in a face-to-face slaughter with the land Legions of the Golden Empire.
In this instant, countless Noble Knights fell, becoming stepping stones for their companions to leap over the array line, or stumbling blocks for their companions.
And the Noble Knights who penetrated the first line of the array threw their javelins and spears at the second line of heavy shield soldiers.
Then they drew their Sword to cut open a bloody battle, and blood instantly soaked the soil underfoot, turning the dry land into a bloody mire.
The air was filled with the stench of Ironware and blood.
No matter the type of war, at the outbreak of the battle, those on the frontline inevitably endure the greatest pressure and suffer the most damage. That is war.
Standing not far away, Karon Gogomola watched all this with no wavering in his heart.
The Noble Corps knights could die, and naturally, the Golden Empire’s Legion Warriors could also sacrifice.
Even though with the transformation over two or three generations in the Empire, the physical qualities of these human Warriors have almost surpassed most regional races in the Icaria World, the majority of them are still mortal.
Karon Gogomola, as a Giant Dragon capable of countering the Divine Punishment Power, could certainly intervene to reduce the losses of the Imperial Legion, overwhelming these Noble Knights with the Legion.
However, he refrained from intervening not solely due to his continued suppression of Najamate’s Heart, nor purely because he is an Emperor.
It is because a powerful Legion can’t truly be forged and formed just through continuous training and shouting a few slogans.
Real powerful Legions are forged from blood and fire, just like the birth of the Golden Empire.
This time, Karon Gogomola could intervene in the war, but what about next time?
Not all wars require Karon Gogomola to personally intervene, nor will every war see the Golden Empire’s Legion have an overwhelming advantage.
Because Karon Gogomola’s focus is not solely on the Northern Continent, nor solely on the Icaria World.
One day, the Golden Empire’s Legion and talents will confront blood and fire, and it starts from today.
Holy Knight Lea, however, could not maintain composure like Karon Gogomola. Even though he, with his fearless courage and formidable power, led the Noble Knights through the front lines, the momentum of the entire cavalry Legion charge was almost instantly bogged down by the second and third lines of heavy shield arrays behind.
Those Alchemy wolf beasts who had emptied all their firepower now revealed their claws and fangs, attacking and biting the Noble Corps knights in the most primitive way.
Although these wolf beasts’ claws and fangs couldn’t break the Noble Knights’ Armor, the moment the wolf beast seized a Noble Knight’s wrist, it marked the time of death arriving.
Moreover, some wolf beasts, driven by Beast instincts, collaborated with the Imperial Legion Warriors, bringing down the horses beneath the Noble Knights who relied on their charge, biting off and injuring the horses’ legs and vulnerable abdomens. In the brief span of time, hundreds of Noble Knights died in such entanglement.
Even the fierce Elf Sword Dancer Corps seemed frail and thin like blades of grass before the towering armored cavalry. Yet, these lean Elves flickered around the military formation, with astonishing power erupting from their slender bodies.
