Chapter 392: Decisive Battle

"Kill!"

In the Fougere wilderness south of the Aldo Kingdom, two armies were fighting fiercely, with loud shouts.

The kingdom's army led by Princess Catherine launched a final decisive battle with the rebels led by Grand Duke Giles.

On a high slope, Catherine, the supreme commander of the kingdom's army on the front line, was riding on a white horse in full armor. She bit her lower lip and watched the situation on the battlefield.

By her side, Aofina, Leicester, Walker and other senior generals of the kingdom's army were accompanying her, but two senior generals - Duke Dodge and Sir Klein, were not included. As commander of the left and right wings, there was no presence with Catherine.

From the fierce fighting in the early morning until now, the armies of both sides have suffered casualties and seem to be evenly matched.

Duke Walker next to him glanced at the princess and hesitated to speak.

Now the troops he brought from his own territory were rotating in the battle, and it was already the second round of battle. The casualties were huge. Many of his own family members were also seriously injured while commanding the battle. The Duke was very distressed.

"Your Highness!" The Duke made up his mind and suggested to Catherine: "Can we use 'that'? All in one go..."

The so-called "that" is the kingdom's army or the royal family's secret weapon - Hellfire.

In the Duke's opinion, the name "Hellfire" is really appropriate. It cannot be extinguished by pouring water. This terrible flame must really come from hell.

But even as Duke Walker, he only learned of the existence of this terrible weapon this year. After the city guards rebelled and occupied Jingyao, they promptly mobilized troops to serve the king. When the princess formed an army to go south to counter the rebellion, he once again responded to the call. Duke Walker's loyalty was recognized by the royal family, and therefore he also entered the core power circle of the kingdom's army, thus learning that This is a secret weapon that the royal family has never revealed.

"Now is not the time!"

Catherine rejected the Duke's suggestion without hesitation.

Duke Walker nodded slightly and stopped talking. He understood the princess' concerns. Although the hellfire was powerful, its quantity was very small. Ultimately, it was because the royal family could not make such a thing by itself. Its origin seemed to be related to those mysterious pointed ears.

Obviously His Highness doesn't want to reveal his trump card yet.

The hellfire in the army now is comparable to the one that was sent not long ago, and almost didn't make it to the decisive battle.

"Your Highness! The Undead Army is out!"

The generals were in a commotion and pointed at the battlefield ahead.

Behind the rebels, a force with equipment that was obviously different from other rebels and a neat pace was slowly approaching the front line.

Catherine looked at the "Undead Army" from a distance and shouted: "Lester!"

"Yes!" Lester replied, and then rode quickly away from the high slope.

…

About an hour later, two armies carrying both sides' hopes of victory collided head-on in the middle of the battlefield. One is the mysterious army of the kingdom armed with strange equipment, and the other is the rebel "Undead Army" with a size of only 6,000 people.

"Is that the trick Catherine used to restrain the undead army in the intelligence?"

All the rebel leaders, including Giles, looked surprised. Because the enemy army in front of the Undead Army seemed to be just a lightly-armed force. Unlike other Kingdom soldiers who were generally equipped with metal armor, they only had simple protection.

After watching for a while, Samar next to Giles yelled: "No!"

He recalled the horrific experience of his first attack on Thorn Fortress.

"Lord Giles, it's Hellfire! I guess that's the Hellfire we've encountered before!"

Giles was shocked. He heard Samar describe this terrible weapon, which was like magic and was indestructible when exposed to water.

However, this weapon only appeared once, and in subsequent battles, the "Restoration Army" never encountered it again. Therefore, he judged that the number of Hellfires in the hands of the Kingdom's army must be very small, and the stalemate in Fougères made him conclude that there were no Hellfires in the hands of the Kingdom's army. Such long-term confrontation between the two armies is a huge drain on national strength. Catherine is a decisive woman and cannot leave such a good weapon unused.

Unexpectedly, we met during the decisive battle...

However, after the initial panic, Giles immediately calmed down. He smiled ferociously and said to his general: "Samar, let's make a bet..."

Samar was a little confused: "What? His Highness the Grand Duke."

"Let's bet on how much hellfire Catherine has in her hands!"

The Grand Duke's eyes now looked like those of a gambler.

Samar was shocked, "You...you don't plan to withdraw the team? Although they are just...but they can't be given away for nothing!"

Giles waved his hand, interrupting Samar's words. He said with a cold face: "War is a big gamble! And they were sacrificed in the plan."

As a result, the armies of both sides moved closer, and finally reached a distance of only about 10 meters from each other.

"Get ready!" Following Commander Lester's roar, the kingdom's troops stopped in unison!

The "Undead Army" on the opposite side also slowed down, and at the same time laid the spear in its hand flat, ready to assassinate.

"Spray!" Lester ordered again, and a gorgeous scene appeared on the battlefield - the strange equipment in the hands of the soldiers of the Kingdom's army sprayed out fire dragons, flying towards the undead army on the opposite side.

In an instant, the soldiers in the undead army were set on fire one after another, and they could not suppress the painful sounds of being burned!

The formation of the soldiers behind the Undead Army was immediately in chaos, and they fled everywhere in panic under the attack of the fire dragon.

Only the first row of Undead Army soldiers, while they screamed in pain, held their weapons tightly, and charged forward with ferocious expressions. They were surrounded by flames as if they were devils running out of hell.

"Spray! The second row continues to spray!"

Lester didn't seem to expect that someone could rush over under such a terrible attack, and was a little surprised.

The soldiers who had finished spraying immediately retreated to the back, and the soldiers in the second row rushed to the front, raised their instruments and sprayed.

The fire dragon attacked again, and the rebel team became more and more chaotic. The soldiers who were still standing in their positions and barely maintaining their formation were ignited one after another, and they beat their bodies or rolled on the ground in fear, but they could not extinguish the terrible flames.

After the first row of undead soldiers charged to the Kingdom Army, they fell to the ground one after another because they could not resist the physiological mechanism of their bodies. Their limbs twitched and they were swallowed by the flames. They only caused small casualties to the opponent.

The Kingdom Army continued to spray flames until the undead soldiers on the opposite side were eliminated or fled back in a state of collapse.

"The Undead Army is defeated!"

"Long live Aldo!"

"Long live Catherine!"

The other troops who were fighting fiercely saw this scene. The undead army, which had been unmatched in the battle in the past, was eliminated in such a short time.

The morale of the Kingdom Army was greatly boosted, and the fighting became more and more brave, while the morale of the rebels who fought against them plummeted.

The battle seemed to have ushered in a turning point...

Catherine and others who were watching the battle on the high slope finally smiled, and the balance of victory tilted towards them.

"Your Highness! Now is a good opportunity!" Ao Feina suggested: "Take advantage of the situation to send the reserve troops to the battlefield, defeat their central army in one go, separate their left and right wings and eliminate them one by one!"

"Good!" Catherine agreed with her proposal and was about to give an order.

"What unit is that?" Duke Walker suddenly shouted.

People looked in the direction he pointed, and saw that behind the rebels, a unit was changing its equipment.

"No... Undead Army!"

When they could see clearly, everyone was stunned! The equipment of that unit was exactly the same as the Undead Army that had just been eliminated, and the number of people was more than 10,000.

No mistake, one post, one content, one book, one forum!

"How is it possible! Haven't they been eliminated?" Someone asked incredulously.

"We made a big mistake!"

Catherine whipped her horse whip angrily and gritted her teeth and said, "Who said that the Undead Army must have only 6,000 people? That's just the impression Giles has always created for us."

She suddenly remembered the reaction of the "Undead Army" under the hellfire attack just now. Only the soldiers standing in the front launched a charge under the certainty of death, while the others fled in fear.

Perhaps... the "Undead Army" in front was just a bait? Only a few soldiers were real.

Catherine decisively ordered: "Send a message to Duke Dodge and Klein to gather the left and right wings and move closer to the central army."

"Yes!" The two knights galloped away on horseback, one east and one west.

...

On a high-rise car of the rebels, a man in a gray robe looked at the kingdom army from a distance.

His eyes glowed with a strange light, and the pupils of his eyes seemed to be out of focus in the eyes of others.

"Haha!" He laughed inexplicably and closed his eyes.

After a moment, the gray-robed man opened his eyes again and shouted to Giles and others below: "Your Highness, most of the fire-breathing troops have changed to ordinary weapons! There are only a few hundred people still holding such equipment!"

The bet was right! Giles waved his fist fiercely, and the generals around him also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Catherine, Catherine, you didn't expect that the undead army at the beginning was just a fake, and you didn't expect that the undead army would expand to more than 10,000 people before the decisive battle? I sacrificed a lot to let you show your trump card first, although your trump card exceeded my expectations, hahahaha!"

Giles laughed happily. Although the plan had some changes due to the appearance of Hellfire, it did not deviate in general.

He turned to Scott and said, "Thank you for the timely support from the Secret Society!"

Scott nodded slightly: "I congratulate you on your victory in advance."

"Lord Giles, the fake king's army is moving towards the center!"

Grand Duke Tanlang stopped smiling immediately. Now was not the time to laugh. He had only escaped the unexpected crisis caused by the hellfire, but more than 6,000 people in his central army were indeed defeated, and a large gap appeared.

"Gather our troops! Hold back the fake king's army, wait until the undead army is dressed up, and rush over to give them a fatal blow!"

Did the morale of the fake undead army drop because of the defeat? It doesn't matter, wait until the real undead army rushes up, and it will be back immediately.

Taking advantage of the fact that the morale of the kingdom army was shaken by the reappearance of the undead army, the rebels broke away from contact and began to form a large square.

But something unexpected happened to Giles.

"Your Highness, the army of the Veblen family has launched a charge on the enemy without authorization!"

"What? Send them back immediately!"

"Your Highness, it's bad, the army of the Veblen family has been defeated!"

"What? It's only been a short time!"

The Veblen army, which had launched a charge without authorization, ran back in defeat, and a cavalry of the Kingdom Army followed closely behind them and killed them wantonly.

The fleeing soldiers instinctively ran towards the friendly army that was reorganizing its formation in the hope of protection.

"We can't let them attack our formation! Send an order to kill the fleeing soldiers who dare to charge!"

Giles' beard was crooked with anger!

However, it was too late! If the enemy army rushed over, his troops could still organize defense, but a large group of friendly troops that were not in a team retreated, and the soldiers who had not received the order to kill them could only make way for them. As a result, the rebels who were reorganizing their formation became more chaotic, and the morale of the rebel officers and soldiers who were already afraid of the hellfire fell again.

"Long live Aldo!"

With the Veblen army "clearing the way" in front, Lester, who led the cavalry to pursue the Veblen army, shouted, raised his lance and rushed into the rebels first, and the knights who were armed to the teeth followed immediately.

"Veblen! I swear to tear your head off!"

Giles roared as he looked at the chaos.

In the distance, the kingdom's army, which had already gathered, was rushing over.
