Silent Mountains.

Known as the strongest heavy infantry regiment in Lane, with a full strength of 50,000 people, it was the largest single legion among all the noble private soldiers during the Principality of Lane. Even if Ryan has now been promoted to a kingdom and divided into seven dukes, the Silent Mountains can still be ranked in the top five in the size of all the noble private soldiers of Ryan, and even if they look at the next five years, the scale of the Silent Mountains is still the top ten of Ryan.

From the very beginning of its construction, the Silent Mountains have been divided into five troops, each of which is a full strength of 10,000 men. But in fact, only the core main force is the real "Silent Mountains", and the other four troops are actually only the troops that exist as auxiliary armies, and in a way, it is precisely because of these four auxiliary armies that the combat effectiveness of the entire Silent Mountains has been greatly reduced.

This is known only to the top of the Sebarox family.

And the troops of the Silent Mountains sent by the Marquis of Sebarox this time happened to be the real main force of the Silent Mountains. It was for this reason that the information provided to Alfred by Ellikate was discreet—the Silent Mountains arrived a full three hours earlier than expected.

I have to say that the Marquis de Sebarochs was indeed very shrewd in his calculations.

In particular, after receiving the dispatch of the Thunder Lion, one of the three main legions under the command of the Duke of the Void, this made the Marquis of Sebarox even more excited.

Because as we all know, the three main legions under Sean are all full strength of 10,000 people, and in the southern theater of the previous war against Dabiang. Both the Lion of Thunder and the Iron Wings have proven to the entire population of Dabion and Ryan that these two forces are the strongest infantry legions in the deserved - the Lion of Thunder is not bad. After all, it is a mixture of light and heavy infantry, but the steel wings are real heavy infantry legions.

In this way, it is naturally equivalent to completely weakening the value of the Silent Mountains.

Therefore, the Sebarox family desperately needs a war that will prove the value of the Silent Mountains.

Until then, all Marquis Sebarox had thought of was to prove the containment power of the Silent Mountains in the battle launched by the Finlistine clan to intercept Sean, even if they were as strong as the Duke of the Void. But when the Lion of Thunder appeared. The purpose of the Marquis of Sebaros has changed, as long as he defeats the Thunder Lion, which is on par with the Iron Wings, then it will be enough to claim the power of the Silent Mountains to the entire Ryan.

on this. The Silent Mountains quietly changed the direction of their march halfway through, and they swooped straight for the stronghold that the Thunder Lion had just established. At this time, the Marquis of Finlistine was also in a tussle with the Marquis of Sebarox in order to temporarily take over the command of the Silent Mountains in his territory.

……

Watching the black pressure of a frenzy surging straight in. Alfred, who was directing the construction of the fortifications of the stronghold, narrowed his eyes slightly.

Around him. Many of the Thunder Lion soldiers who had taken off their armor and were sweating to build fortifications because there was no fighting for the time being, also stopped what they were doing, and then raised their heads and followed their commander, the Lion King. Alfred's gaze wandered. Perhaps the humans in the Thunder Lion Legion couldn't see exactly what the black tide that rumbled in the darkness was, but with their war instincts and sense of smell over the past few days, they could still clearly know that this black tide that seemed to be calm and had a strong sense of killing at this time was a strong force that was not much weaker than them.

And in fact. In Sean's eyes, the Silent Mountains may indeed be just a quasi-fourth-level army, but the real Silent Mountains are the main force of the core battle. But it is a well-deserved fourth-level army.

Before the appearance of Sean and the Iron Wings and the Thunder Lion, it was not for nothing that this legion was called the strongest heavy infantry legion of Ryan.

Even if it is a self-proclaimed, no one deliberately denies it.

The corners of Alfred's mouth lifted slightly, and his face showed a little excitement. He is no longer the general who is not good at fighting, and after all these years of war, Alfred has actually learned how to correctly judge the true level of an army. Moreover, Alfred had also put a lot of effort into the information about the armies of various countries, so he could already recognize which army the Kuroshio on the opposite side was coming from just by a glance.

The Silent Mountains belonging to the Sebarox family.

Jumping from the three-meter-high watchtower, there was a sudden tremor in the earth, and several cracks were instantly formed at the place where Alfred landed, and even the ground of the watchtower was affected, and the entire watchtower was slightly tilted.

The fangs of the Flame Lion were held by Alfred in one hand, and there was a strange sound of metal colliding behind him.

There was no need for Alfred to order or command anything, as the core force of the Thunder Lion and Alfred's garrison, the Thunder Heroes had already completed their outfits and began to assemble around Alfred. They were followed by the soldiers of the Thunder Lion, and without even a single alarm, the entire camp was completely assembled and lined up in a phalanx behind Alfred.

The whole process, without the slightest mess and rush, all the qiē is being carried out step by step.

Alfred raised the fangs of the Flame Lion on his right hand slightly, and then slammed it to the ground, and with the end of the axe handle hitting the ground, there was a "bang" sound, and all the Thunder Lion soldiers let out an excited roar. They raised their weapons, and then slapped their shields or the ground fiercely, and a solemn momentum that was not inferior to the Silent Mountains suddenly rose.

"My lord, they arrived three hours earlier than they expected to arrive in the Fenlistine Clan." A man in dark blue heavy armor and a lion-shaped helmet said in a deep voice, "And we didn't even notice it in advance when it appeared in this kind of place, which is completely wrong with the information provided by Lord Elekt. ”

In the Lion of Thunder, there is only one type of person who can wear this special heavy armor and move freely. That is the garrison regiment attached to Alfred, the Thunder Division. Because the Thunder Lion is not an all-human legion, humans only make up a small part of the population. Therefore, it is not a uniform standard of armor that can dress this legion, and because of this, many soldiers of the Thunder Lion actually only have half breastplates.

However, as the core and main combat force, the Thunder Hero Division must be a little different from ordinary soldiers, only in this way can it arouse the competitiveness of the entire legion, and only then can a legion maintain a strong combat effectiveness for a long time. Therefore, under William's suggestion, every soldier who becomes the garrison regiment of the Thunder Hero Division can obtain a set of tailor-made heavy armor. Although this has exacerbated the consumption of the entire Void Realm's military resources, it is still very beneficial in the long run.

The person who speaks at this time. It is one of the most powerful brave generals under Alfred, and he is also the head of the Thunder Division and Alfred's direct adjutant.

"It's normal." Alfred smiled, "It's not that there's something wrong with the intelligence on Elekt's side, it's that the Silent Mountains are eager to prove their strength. After all, this time the enemy is a joint operation. So there will definitely be conflicts in the chain of command. Before unification and coordination were achieved, the emergence of such a thing as that in front of him had long been expected by Lord William. …… Of course, it was just a little earlier than Master William had expected. ”

"Lord William was also wrong?" Alfred's direct lieutenant asked, looking shocked.

"Lord William is not a god either, and it is already very incredible that he could have expected the Silent Mountains to move and rush towards us, would anyone else have expected such an expectation? Rather, the error of judgment at the point in time seems to be more like a human being. Speaking of which, Alfred suddenly thought of Sean. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise slightly: If it was the situation that the guy expected, then I'm afraid it wouldn't even be wrong at the point in time, right?

"The whole army is ready for battle!" Alfred clenched the battle axe that Sean had built in his hand. Then he roared in a deep voice.

"Oh!" The entire Thunder Lion responded with the same loud roar.

The huge phalanx of seven thousand people quickly dispersed and pulled out a long battle line.

The Thunder Lion is a legion of light and heavy infantry, with a ratio of seven to three, but almost three thousand of the seven thousand light infantry are long-range strike units such as archers. In the temporary stronghold of Nodala Territory before, Alfred left behind a thousand archers and two thousand light infantry, so among the seven thousand Thunder Lion soldiers brought out at this time, there were slightly more heavy infantry.

There was almost no need for Alfred to give orders, and the Thunder Lion, who had already figured out the various corresponding combat tactics, opened a battle line and then quickly changed formations.

The 3,000 heavy infantry stood at the front of the battle formation with shields, and they did not assume the posture of holding on to the shields, but they also protected the front of them with their shields, and at the same time raised their spears diagonally. Behind these 3,000 heavy infantry are 2,000 archers, and unlike the archers of the ordinary human realm, all the archers of the Thunder Lion are all composed of half-orcs with strong arms, which makes their arrows extremely penetrating and lethal. The 2,000 light infantry were scattered on the left and right flanks of the archers, with 1,000 men on each side, but instead of guarding the flanks, they opened up a relatively large distance.

Alfred took a few steps forward and stood at the front of the entire legion, squinting at the silent mountains ahead.

As if sensing the lion king's provocation, the Silent Mountains paused for a moment before suddenly striding forward.

The roar of the earth was even louder and more amazing.

And the momentum of the Silent Mountains is also even more magnificent.

Alfred looked coldly at the distance between the Silent Mountain Range and his own, silently calculated, and waited until the Silent Mountain Range was only five hundred meters away from his own formation, and then he roared angrily: "Release the arrow!" ”

In an instant, the first rain of arrows from the Thunder Lion was thrown from the rear of the formation of three thousand heavy infantry.

And just as Alfred had expected, at this time, the Silent Mountains also launched a charging attack on the Thunder Lion.

In this way, judging from the battlefield situation, it was almost like the Silent Mountain Range itself rushing headlong towards the range covered by the rain of thunderous lion arrows. In front of the three-edged armor-piercing arrows thrown by these orcs, even if the armor of the Silent Mountains was a special armor relative to the heavy armor, it could not resist the blow of this arrow rain at all, and hundreds of people fell directly in an instant.

Almost at the same moment as the Silent Mountain Range launched its charge, the light infantry on the left and right flanks of the Thunder Lion also moved instantly, quickly outflanking the Silent Mountain Range.

As soon as the first wave of arrows was fired, all the archers had already begun to prepare for the second wave of arrows, and then they did not hesitate to shoot out again.

This time, because of the shortening distance and the fact that there were many wounded soldiers after the first wave of arrows, the damage caused by the second wave of arrows was far more staggering than the first, and hundreds of people fell directly.

However, this qiē does not end there.

When the Silent Mountain passed a distance of two hundred meters, the three thousand heavy infantry at the front of the Thunder Lion quickly dispersed to the left and right, giving way to the two thousand archers in the rear. However, in the face of this menacing Silent Mountain Range, the two thousand archers did not have the slightest timidity, and the bows and arrows at the front crouched down, and the archers in the second row directly fired at the soldiers of the Silent Mountain Range.

In the face of such a close range of strong bow flat fire, even the Silent Mountain had to raise a shield to protect itself, and the speed of the charge involuntarily slowed down for a while, but this sudden change was not from the commander's tactical change. As a result, the Silent Mountain Range appeared in a disjointed state, and the charging rhythm of the entire legion instantly became chaotic, which naturally caused some small chaos to the entire Silent Mountain Range.

Originally, this kind of chaos could be completely ignored by the Silent Mountains, because it was impossible for the enemy to take advantage of this momentary gap.

But this time, their opponent was not an ordinary army, but the mighty Thunder Lion!

In a moment of confusion, the light infantry on both flanks had already completed a roundabout outflanking, but instead of rushing forward immediately, they took out their short axes and suddenly launched a round of axe strikes on both sides of the Silent Mountains.

Almost at the same time as this round of axes was thrown, the second round of flat fire and the hanging and throwing of the archers' troops once again dealt a covering all-out blow to the Silent Mountains, and in this instant, the chaotic effect of the entire Silent Mountains was amplified.

Looking at the silent mountain range that stopped one hundred and fifty meters away, Alfred finally raised the fangs of the flame lion in his hand and roared in a deep voice: "Whole army, assault!" (To be continued......)
