Ark: The Cycle of Light and Darkness

Julius fully believed that he would encounter a little setback and a little surprise, but in the end his army would be safe and sound, motionless as a mountain.

No one, not even a god, can defeat an army of tens of thousands with hundreds of people, it's impossible.

However, when the vanguard retreated too quickly, he still felt a vague sense of uneasiness.

He could see something strange, chasing the vanguard... However, he couldn't see clearly what it was, and could only vaguely see some red halo.

Could it be Regulus Harvey's cavalry? Those hundreds of elite riders from the Fourth Legion should be the only thing that man could bring out...

For this reason, Julius sighed secretly in his heart.

There is still a big gap in command ability between myself and the other party. At least I can't mobilize the more than a thousand defenders to defend the city for more than an hour before they are defeated.

It's a pity... It's precisely because he is so powerful that he is targeted in this way, right? Such a fatal situation should not have belonged to such a general who was victorious in every battle and knew no tricks...

However, although he secretly felt sorry for his opponent in his heart, Julius still faithfully carried out his mission.

"Archer! Go to the front!"

In order to win, he must be alert to all possible attacks.

The retreat of the forwards is an inevitable fact, so in the process of accepting them, he must avoid unnecessary complications.

For example... Regulus Harvey's Attack.

Fortunately, the numerical advantage is still in his own hands. With 20,000 troops here, no matter how powerful Regulus Harvey is, he can't make a difference.

However, when he looked intently at the defeated troops chasing the vanguard, When the"Fireball" hit, his expression changed.

He realized that he was wrong, terribly wrong.

The other party had no intention of using strategies to delay his steps, but he also had no intention of allowing himself to regroup.

When he found out that he was encountering His mind went blank for a moment. It was not the small-scale vanguard rout, nor Regulus Harvey's cavalry.

It was horses.

The opponent gathered dozens of horses together, and then directly The vanguard rushed over from behind. Each horse had something tied to its tail, which was burning fiercely at the moment - and because of the fear of the flames, the horses threw away their hooves and headed towards them desperately. They ran wildly forward and even crushed two slower vanguards to death.

It was precisely because of the existence of this group of war horses that the originally orderly retreat turned into an uncontrollable rout.

"Archer! quick! quick! Shoot those damn war horses——"

Julius felt anxious. This group of war horses had obviously been running for a long time and had already accumulated enough capital to crush his first row of shield soldiers - and behind the shield soldiers were relatively fragile infantry.

This is something he absolutely doesn't want to see.

However, before his thoughts could settle down, fire suddenly rose into the sky from behind the group of war horses not far away. Apparently, the delayed Originium ignition device was activated, igniting the flammable materials behind the horses.

A very strong sense of fear arose in Julius's heart, as if something terrible would happen.

At this moment, the defeated army of the vanguard had already rushed into his own formation. Considering that he could not quarrel with the partner's army, he was not ruthless enough to kill them all. After all, he believed that with his own shooters and heavily equipped weapons, Defending to the death would wear down Regulus Harvey's well-prepared war horse offensive.

After passing the heavy armor of the vanguard, they raised their shields to form a long shield wall, protecting the fragile infantry behind them. Behind the infantry, archers rained arrows like a flood, and there were constant war horses filled with arrows. He whined and fell down.

There were originally dozens of war horses, but now there were only about ten left. But they also crossed the death strike zone thrown by the archers and rushed towards the heavy armor.

"Raise your shield to defend! The remaining impact is enough to handle!"

As the commanders passed the orders layer by layer, the heavy shield soldiers in the front row stood up calmly, using half of their bodies to hold up the shield that had been inserted into the ground, preparing to directly use the endurance of their bodies and heavy shields to withstand this attack. The impact.

The guards behind the heavy shield have also raised the spears in their hands, preparing to give those war horses who dare to attack the front a refreshing blow.

Facing such an army and the impact of dozens of war horses, Just a drizzle——

——boom!

The moment the explosion sounded, Julius's expression froze.

Originium bomb...wait, Originium bomb!

Julius, who suddenly understood what the man wanted to do, grabbed the guard next to him and wanted him to convey some news to other troops.

But...will Levi give him this time?

Starting from the defense of Bernburg, to the fire at the city gate, the vanguard's collapse, the fire horse chasing the enemy, and finally to the explosion of the Originium bomb tied to the horse, the invisible thread is tightening step by step in the hands of the Sakaz man , the target is directed at the 20,000 coalition troops!

And this huge explosion is undoubtedly the best fuse.

Boom - Boom - Boom - Boom -

The continuous explosions made Julius look pale. Needless to say, the bombs carried by these ten war horses had torn apart his heavy formation. fall.

However, as if he was not given a chance to breathe, a desolate horn sounded from the distance.

Regulus Harvey's cavalry begins to charge!
