Until many years later, Charlotte still clearly remembered today's first battle that she personally participated in after time travel.
Or more accurately, remember this knightly charge under the sun.
Accompanied by the low sound of horns, more than four thousand armored knights formed a cone-shaped array and charged towards the rebel cavalry that was several times their size.
The golden sunshine shines on the earth, shining on the shiny armor of the knights, reflecting brilliant brilliance.
No, that's not reflected sunlight.
That's the armored cavalry themselves shining.
I saw the complex patterns inlaid with magic crystals on the bodies of the Bold standing cavalry belonging to the Tulip Earldom suddenly lit up and shone brightly, and the rays of light quickly connected with each other.
In the blink of an eye, the fifteen hundred Bold standing cavalry distributed in the cavalry array "weaved" a light silver network.
The light net was like a cone-shaped arrow, covering the entire cavalry array, and when the light spread to the equally well-armed northern nobles, it seemed to be further charged and became even more dazzling.
Immediately afterwards, Charlotte saw the light web transforming into illusory armors and weapons, attached to the knights and horses. The armors on their bodies seemed to be melted into the light in an instant, becoming more and more dazzling. Eye-catching.
At this moment, Charlotte was surprised to find that the auras of all the charging cavalry began to rapidly increase and merge...
Those extraordinary auras that she could clearly identify as individuals by virtue of her vampire's keen perception quickly disappeared.
Instead, there was a new, thick, and unified extraordinary aura!
The extraordinary power of these cavalrymen actually achieved a certain sense of unity and transformed into a new whole at this moment!
In Charlotte's perception, these knights seemed to be integrated into one body, condensing into a more powerful extraordinary force.
The charging cone-shaped array was like a huge sword of light.
Not only that, as more and more knights join in, the aura of the "Sword of Light" becomes more and more powerful...
In the blink of an eye, almost all the knights who formed the array reached the level of initiates!
But this is not the end.
After crossing the rank, the connected extraordinary aura further improved, and soon reached a height that even Charlotte was moved by.
An even more dazzling light bloomed on the cone-shaped array, and Charlotte saw a silver-gray light spread across the cavalry, quickly enveloping the entire military formation.
That’s the source of external power!
And the outward release of source power is the symbol of the second level of Silver Moon!
Silver Moon…
The auras of these charging knights all reached Silver Moon!
Although the aura is unstable, and although it is not enough to give a real silver moon like Charlotte a sense of danger, it has greatly exceeded the ordinary stars...
Seeing the gleaming cavalry array rushing toward them, the main force of the rebels instantly fell into chaos.
There was obviously no battle yet, but Charlotte clearly saw that the highly maneuverable hussars chose to retreat almost instantly, and all began to slow down and change direction.
But, it's too late.
After the source of light spread, the speed of the charging knight formation became faster.
Although they were obviously wearing heavy armor, their speed even surpassed that of the Northern Hussars, which were always famous for their mobility!
On the empty riverside plain, the cavalry array shrouded in light seemed to turn into a huge silver battle axe, smashing into the main force of the rebel cavalry.
No skills, no tactics.
It just hit him straight away.
With her superb eyesight, Charlotte could clearly see that the rebel cavalry at the front were easily torn apart the moment they came into contact with the cavalry array.
That was really torn apart.
It was as if they were made of pieces of paper. The men, horses, and chainmail armor were all smashed into pieces, and clouds of blood erupted...
They are obviously cavalry, and the leader of the team is obviously an armored knight, but at this moment, these elite main forces of the Leglis family are as vulnerable as eggs hitting a stone.
Groups of blood mist exploded on the battlefield, and the radiant cavalry array easily tore apart the main formation of the rebels, launching a one-sided massacre!
Crush...
Naked crushing!
Bloody mist spread on the battlefield. It was the bloody mist erupted by the rebel cavalry that was smashed by the cavalry array. It spread rapidly with the charge of the cavalry array.
Witnessing such a horrific scene, the main force of the rebel army lost morale almost instantly. Charlotte clearly saw that tens of thousands of cavalry fell into panic and chaos in the blink of an eye.
And then... it was a one-sided defeat.
Charlotte could see that the nobles among the rebels were still shouting desperately to maintain the array, but it was irreversible.
After witnessing the terrifying power of the cavalry array, the charging rebels completely lost their fighting spirit and began to flee.
And those nobles who tried to save the battle were quickly overwhelmed by the cavalry array rushing in front of them, and disappeared in a blaze of light...
The low horn sounded again, and the sound of galloping horse hooves filled the sky.
In the light, the cone-shaped cavalry array was seen changing again and gradually began to spread out.
Gradually, they transformed from a cone of light into three nearly straight formations of flying geese. Like lions chasing their prey, they began to pursue the rebel cavalry.
After they dispersed, the light on them dropped slightly, but it still maintained an overwhelming momentum.
With the blessing of light, their speed far exceeding that of ordinary cavalry became a nightmare for the rebels, and repeated charges turned into one-sided massacres.
On the hills, Charlotte was completely stunned.
After seeing that the main force of the rebel cavalry exceeded the expected number, she imagined that the cavalry on her side might be in a hard fight, and that the infantry who were attacking the city might suffer heavy losses, but she did not expect this result. .
As if the cavalry that had increased several times was just a pile of meaningless numbers, she never expected that the cavalry array, with the Tulip standing cavalry as the main force, would burst out with such terrifying power!
"Magic energy array... This is the power of the magic energy array!"
"My Lord...it turns out that Tulip's standing cavalry can also form a magic array!"
A trembling voice amidst excitement and wonder came from the side, that of Baron Angus, who was also standing on the hill.
Charlotte turned around and saw that this battle-experienced commander was no less shocked than herself.
There was even a bit of fear in his widened eyes, as if he had not expected that the cavalry team that had been united with Tulip would burst out with such terrifying power.
Magic energy array?
Is this the magic array Sebastian was talking about?
Charlotte couldn't help but look at the battlefield, looking at the cavalry who were like full-level players entering the novice village, and felt that her understanding of war in this world seemed to be overturned in an instant:
"Is the magic energy array... so powerful?"
"No... Sir Earl, although the conventional magic energy array is powerful, I'm afraid it won't have such a terrible effect..."
replied Baron Angus.
He couldn't help but glance at the miserable battlefield again, and said in deep thought:
"I think this is because, on the one hand, we face too few extraordinary members of the Leglis family, and on the other hand, I am afraid it is because many of our nobles and knights from Castel have also joined the array... "
"The effect of the magic energy array increases with the strength of the participants. As initiates, they become part of the magic energy array, which naturally further enhances its power."
"It's just...just..."
"It's just that their promotion seems a bit too big?"
Charlotte continued.
Baron Angus nodded awkwardly:
"Yes, I have never commanded a battle with a magic array, and I did not expect that after joining the initiates, the magic array would become so terrifying..."
There is no suspense in the next battle.
In front of the powerful array of magic energy, the number of rebel cavalry was meaningless.
Those rebel cavalry who were surrounded by cavalry array had only two fates left——
Or, be crushed under the pursuit of the cavalry array.
Or, choose to surrender.
With his speed and strength suppressed, escaping has become a futile pursuit.
Except for those cavalry who were further away and had better luck, more rebel cavalry could not escape at all.
As the last rebel noble who rushed forward was overwhelmed by the cavalry array, the remaining rebels completely lost their will to fight.
The surrounded rebel cavalry laid down their weapons one after another and stopped resisting. Even the conscripts in the camp, who were obviously used as bait by the rebels, responded to the deafening "lay down your weapons and save your lives" from the Castel coalition. Amid the shouts, one after another chose to surrender...
From the time the cavalry array launched the charge to the time the rebels were defeated and chose to surrender, only over twenty minutes had passed.
And those Tulip collar infantrymen hidden in the coalition forces didn't even have time to take action.
The glow of the magic energy array gradually dissipated, and the cavalry array returned to normal.
Standing on the hill, Charlotte saw that after the light dissipated, many standing cavalry fell from their horses as if they had lost all their strength, and even some war horses fell to the ground.
However, the surrendered rebels had been initially brought under control and did not cause much chaos.
Seeing this scene, Charlotte probably realized that the magic energy array must come with a price.
"Let's go and have a look."
She ordered to Sebas and Baron Angus.
…
The battle was over, Castre's flag was planted on the camp, and the surrendered rebels were dejected and guarded together by soldiers.
Charlotte rode by and saw not strong warriors, but mostly ordinary people with frightened and confused expressions.
Think about it, most of these rebels are conscripts. When they pick up their weapons, they become soldiers, and when they put down their weapons, they become farmers.
The rebel cavalry was the elite, but after being consumed by the charge of the cavalry array, the rest had become prisoners.
However, the hussars in the north reacted faster and ran away a lot. Of course... more were captured.
Charlotte came to the cavalry forming a magic array.
After the formation, most of these cavalrymen were exhausted and were sitting aside to rest.
The nobles who participated in the charge also looked exhausted. However, most of them were senior transcendents, many of them had entered the ranks, and they seemed to be in much better condition than the standing cavalry.
Charlotte soon met Earl Gaston. The Earl whom she had taken as a blood servant also looked very exhausted and very pale, but his complexion was much better than that of other nobles. He was commanding Soldiers count prisoners.
After seeing Charlotte, he stopped and bowed to her vaguely:
"His Excellency Count Castells."
Charlotte nodded slightly and glanced at the exhausted standing knights:
"Are they...all okay?"
"It's just that I've overdrawn my strength. Just rest. But... don't let them participate in the battle for at least half a month. The magic inscriptions have also been damaged a lot. They need to be repaired and replenished with magic crystals to regain their combat strength. If so...it will take about twenty days."
Count Gaston said.
Did you have to rest for twenty days on the last battlefield...
Charlotte nodded secretly.
Being able to display such a powerful power must have corresponding limitations, but... even if it takes twenty days to rest for one use, this magic energy array is abnormal enough.
Such a powerful standing force...she must also form one!
It must be said that after witnessing this crushing cavalry charge, Charlotte was inevitably moved.
"Thank you for your hard work. Please take a good rest. Leave the cleaning of the battlefield to the coalition forces."
Charlotte said.
…
The battle ended in less than half a day.
However, the next time to clean the battlefield took even longer than the battle.
It was not until the evening of the next day that the coalition forces initially settled the results.
In this battle, the coalition forces eliminated about 6,000 rebels, including 2,000 levies and 4,000 cavalry.
In addition, about 3,000 levies and nearly 4,000 cavalry chose to surrender, including less than 800 cavalry left by the Leglis family after the charge, and more than 3,000 hussars from the north.
About 6,000 war horses and countless armors, equipment and other materials were seized.
In addition, more than thirty nobles were captured, several of whom were initiates, including even a noble from the Northern Grand Duchy.
The number of rebels who managed to escape was estimated to be three thousand, and most of them were Isaac's Hussars in the north. As for the main force of the army gathered by the Leglis family... it can be said that the entire army was wiped out after the first battle.
The result was similar to what Charlotte had imagined, but the process was completely different.
And in this process, the powerful combat power displayed by the extraordinary standing team completely subverted her cognition.
The magic energy array is really a bug-like existence, and it can be said to be crushed in a count-level war...
Charlotte finally understood why those powerful principalities and kingdoms were willing to spend huge sums of money to raise extraordinary soldiers.
