Black Iron Crown

The deaths of these knights were not meaningless, at least they successfully delayed for some time, so that Baron Kerim did not immediately fall into the hands of the enemy.

There were more and more enemies around Kerim. The knight carrying him was shot by an arrow that flew from nowhere, and penetrated into his calf muscle.

The sudden severe pain caused him to fall to the ground, and Baron Kerim followed him. His leg, which had been completely broken, was hit again, and he was almost in pain.

At the next moment, the knight who fell to the ground because of his legs and hands was pulled out by the enemy, and his throat was cut open along the gap in the armor. After struggling for a while, he lost his life.

But just when Baron Kerim was full of despair and was about to lie on the ground waiting to die, an accident happened suddenly.

Beside him, an officer of the Holy War Army who was about to use a long sword to chop off his head and gain glory and merit was covering his eyes and screaming pitifully.

As if his body had been taken from him, he fell backwards involuntarily, then lay on the ground and rolled all over the floor.

A crossbow bolt as thick as a finger was inserted into his eye socket impartially. After struggling for a while, the officer's body relaxed. The crossbow bolt had already penetrated his eye socket into his brain, destroying his brainstem.

Wende, who was about 300 meters away from Baron Kerim, put away the pulley crossbow in his hand and whistled: "That's not bad, I am the god of precision!"

He handed the pulley crossbow to the walking entourage beside him, then took the lance from the entourage, put down the visor on the helmet, and said to the knights beside him: "It's time for us to go, This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us!"

Wende has been living under Reiner's wings all these years, and has hardly participated in too many cruel wars, at least the battles he participated in were not very intense.

He is full of confidence in his elder brother, although no matter from which point of view, his elder brother does not seem to have an advantage, but he still has a strange self-confidence in his heart.

He believes that his elder brother Lena will never be defeated, and if this war is won, then there will never be another war of this scale. It is also extremely difficult for him to gain meritorious service on the battlefield.

Therefore, he was unwilling to let go of any chance of gaining merit and glory.

The knights beside him are all martial arts masters he recruited. Under the temptation of fiefs and silver coins, no matter what kind of brave men they will be used by him.

On the battlefield at this time, this amazing arrow also shocked the soldiers of the Holy War Army. They looked around in amazement, and they suddenly found that there was a golden lion coat of arms with a red background fluttering in the wind not far away.

"It's His Majesty the Emperor! The Emperor has come to support us!" The soldiers under Baron Kerim cheered after seeing the flag.

For them, although they are loyal to Baron Kerim, the golden lion emblem on the red background in the northern border has a different meaning in the hearts of these soldiers.

"Long live Your Majesty!"

"For Your Majesty! For the Baron!"

Shouting slogans, the soldiers under Baron Kerim rushed towards the enemy as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and launched a more violent attack than before.

Then, a strange thing happened.

The party with fewer numbers actually launched an attack on the enemy with more numbers,

What is even more bizarre is that the side with fewer people still holds a slight advantage.

It has to be said that this is a concrete manifestation of Leiner's prestige in the army or in the entire northern border. Just the arrival of Leiner's heraldic flag has brought such a morale increase to the soldiers.

Afterwards, Wende led a dozen knights to arrive. With their spears straightened, they charged into the side of the army formation that was fighting fiercely with the soldiers under Baron Kerim...

Needless to say, when the heavy cavalry set up a charging formation and had enough horse speed to charge the infantry's flanks, there was no suspense about the result.

A dozen or so heavy cavalry were enough to crush an enemy several times or even dozens of times larger than them. The soldiers of the Holy War Army who were fighting against the enemy in front of them suffered a sudden blow and instantly collapsed.

The soldiers under Baron Kerim rushed to his side and helped him up.

"saved……"

Baron Kerim breathed a sigh of relief. He is not a saint, nor is he a supernatural existence. The instinct of fear of death is still unavoidable.

"Thank you for your support, Honorable Earl Wind!"

After defeating the enemy, Wende came to Baron Kerim's side. Only at this time did the infantry he brought reach the battlefield.

"You don't need to thank me, my brother called me here!"

"Now, what we have to do is to stabilize the front line and help the lords resist the enemy's attack!"

Hearing Wende's swear words, Baron Kerim looked at the infantry behind him in embarrassment.

With just five hundred people, it is really impossible to complete such a bold statement.

At this time, the army of Earl Cholal was fighting fiercely with the enemy. As the lord closest to Reiner's immediate domain, he often used his relationship with Reiner as a reason to observe Reiner's army.

He even invited several alliances to take turns to fight against his army in his territory. In this way, even in the northern border, the combat effectiveness of his army is only a handful.

At this time, he is not in a position to say that he is able to face the enemy with ease, but at least he is not in danger of collapse. Although the number of enemies is larger, he has a slight advantage in terms of the quality of soldiers. As for discipline, he is even more powerful.

The entire left wing is not to say that it is as indestructible as a copper wall and iron wall, but at least it will take some time for the enemy to break through. The more dangerous ones now are the small lord troops who are responsible for connecting the phalanxes of the big lords.

On the frontal battlefield, the battle scene is even more tragic.

Leiner sees all the encounters between his two flanks. If he can't crush the enemy's central army as soon as possible, his flank is likely to be dragged down by the huge number of enemies.

These countries that gathered together to launch a jihad have brought out their own elites. Although they may not be as good as the Northern Frontier Army in terms of equipment and training, their combat experience is by no means inferior.

What's more, they have a numerical advantage. Leiner's left wing has become the main breakthrough point of the Jihad army. On the right wing, only enough troops are deployed to delay the Volunteer Army under Leiner's command, and the remaining large numbers of troops are placed in the center and left. .

The Golden Lion Guards gave up their conservative fighting methods. They lifted up their shields and waved their battle axes wide open and closed.

Behind them, the Merland sergeants also sharply stabbed the enemy with their spears.

The Golden Lion Guard stood in the front row, with the highest casualty rate.

Although the enemy army also formed an array and used spears to fight, it is very disadvantageous for close combat, but it is impossible to have no melee combat units in the array.

Some of the Templars held two-handed swords and wore heavy armor with cross coats of arms, and some of the Templar Light Infantry fought fiercely with the Golden Lion Guard in front of the formation.
