Suddenly, there was a flash of metal reflection that made Ella unable to open her eyes. Just when they were about to engage in a hand-to-hand encounter, the Guards formation that originally looked like a gray hill suddenly shone brightly!
There is no metal reflection because they deliberately covered the armor with cloth strips!
The sudden cold light obviously scared the pirates, and also scared Ella. At this moment, more than ten infantry phalanxes arranged on the second line crossed the retreating first line troops and launched an attack on the pirates!
Dare to retreat on the battlefield because the second line of infantry can provide sufficient support!
Berengar's formation did not fill up the first and second lines from the beginning. Instead, the troops on the two lines were staggered like a chess grid. This formation prepared the first line for the retreat of the troops from the beginning. There was room left, and what was even more surprising was that when the first and second line troops alternated, there was no trace of chaos in the formation of the Guards!
Before the pirates could react, the sound of swords being drawn almost simultaneously frightened them again. More than a dozen infantry phalanxes advanced the front line at a unified pace and executed various combat instructions with uniform movements. During this process, except for the voice of the herald, no one in the Guards made a single unnecessary sound.
The reason for not roaring is to better hear the instructions given!
As long as a person is faced with the pressure of death, he can't help but roar. But until the confrontation, the guards did not make a meaningless sound. This kind of silence created an invisible sense of oppression, as if mocking the pirates:
"What are you yelling about? Are you afraid to embolden yourself?"
Such a Royal Guard is simply a cold war machine!
The impatient Bjorn couldn't hold it any longer and rushed to the front line. He rolled across the battle line like a ball of fire, killing more than a dozen of the surrounding guardsmen in the blink of an eye. A banner captain challenged him, but was pierced by Bjorn with his helmet in one move. He lifted the flag captain's body high on a spear and shouted at the pirates behind him:
"What are you afraid of! The gods are waiting for the arrival of the warriors in the Hall of Valor!"
As he said that, he took the lead and led a small force to tear the first front line of the Guards from the middle. He chopped off the heads of more than a dozen Guardsmen in a row. He was about to continue charging forward, but suddenly It was found that all the Imperial Guards had withdrawn to both sides, and only he and the small team he brought were left in the middle of the entire phalanx. Before he could react, a huge sense of oppression fell from the sky!
From Ella's perspective, a spear shot straight into the sky from the middle phalanx of the Guards, and then fell towards Bjorn and his team with intense firelight. The spear froze in the air for a moment before touching the ground, seemingly wrestling with Bjorn. But a moment later, the spear fell completely, making a deafening sound. The subsequent violent shaking of the earth threw many people to the ground, and Ella's sword also left her hand. A huge pit appeared on the originally flat ground, and Bjorn and the team around him disappeared from sight.
The morale of the pirates, who had just cheered up a little, was hit hard again. But the spear suddenly flew from the pit into the air on its own, and stayed on top of the pirates' heads, slowly starting to gather flames again.
The pirates began to cast their sights into the air from time to time. No one knew when and where the spear would fall again. In such an uneasy atmosphere, the Praetorian Guards gradually began to gain an advantage in the battle line.
Hestein took action. He strode to the front of the line, and the sense of intimidation made the guards unconsciously take a small step back. The pirates, who were intimidated by the Spear of Longinus, and the Praetorian Guards, who were intimidated by Hestein, created a gap the size of a step at the front of the line.
The sky is the blazing spear of Longinus. Underground, there is Hestein and his spear, as well as the bloody crow battle flag hanging on the spear. Berengar obviously did not dare to attack at will against this opponent who had returned the Spear of Longinus. He let the Spear of Longinus hang in the air for a long time to gather further power. And Hestein is also gathering strength. He brings the protection of Ares to the extreme, and then surpasses the extreme!
The balance was finally broken, and the Gun of Longinus fell. Hestein turned sideways and reached out to grab the handle of the Gun of Longinus. The powerful impact forced Hestein into the ground half a meter deep, and the strong air pressure generated by the collision blew away any soldiers who got too close. Hestein's eyes were bloodshot, his lips were bitten with blood, and the bulging muscles in his body were about to burst the armor. After shouting violently, he finally succeeded in lifting the Longinus Spear upwards by one centimeter, and then threw the gun to the ground!
Amid the cries of the pirates, Hestein waved the bloody crow flag forward! This action was more effective than any encouragement. The pirates' morale was greatly boosted, and they rushed forward to fight with the guards again!
Several powerful bows and arrows were fired from behind the pirates, killing several people in a row. Someone came and reported to Hestein: "The enemy's cavalry has circled back to the right rear of our line!"
"Don't worry about the cavalry. This coward's weapon cannot cause a fatal blow. Send a small team to intercept, and everyone else will press forward and tear apart the enemy's line with all their strength!"
Under the command of Hestein, the morale of the pirates was even higher than in the first charge, and the Praetorian Guards began to show signs of fatigue. The first to collapse was the center where Hestein personally led the attack. Then, from the center to both sides, the Guards began to collapse across the board! With the dawn of victory just around the corner, the pirates exhausted their last strength and began to hunt down the defeated Imperial Guards. Even Hestein breathed a sigh of relief.
However, he was not happy for long.
The pirates at the front suddenly stopped. Hestein was about to scold him, but before he could say anything, he understood the reason why the pirates stopped:
Rows of neat shield walls blocked the front of the pirates, which were originally the first line of the Guards that collapsed after the javelin was thrown. While the second line of troops was fighting the pirates, they actually reorganized their front. The second line of troops passed through the gap they had deliberately vacated. Just like the first time, the Guards seemed to have conducted a lot of training on this action. Between the alternation of battle lines, there was still no chaos in the troops.
The pirates who have exhausted their strength will face a group of new forces with strong momentum. And behind the shield wall, the troops that had dispersed from the front line had begun to gather again.
