A few years ago, the king of Archimar became inflated.

He attacked the vassal state of Dibiles, intending to make his country the "Fourth Empire";

It was in that battle that the kingdom's army truly experienced a defeat.

The younger brother was beaten, and the older brother naturally had to step forward.

However, for some reason, Dibiles only sent three thousand soldiers.

When the news spread, the people of the kingdom's army were ecstatic, but the younger brother's heart was in despair.

The king was already preparing to go fishing in that country;

The duke who ruled the vassal state found a rope, preparing to "hang himself" at the right moment...

With a huge disparity in forces on both sides, the battle began.

The Valkyrie who shone with lightning all over her body and wielded a banner as she rode through the army was an unforgettable shadow in the hearts of the kingdom's soldiers.

After the war, the kingdom's soldiers' bones piled up across the entire battlefield;

Abara's two older brothers and one younger brother, who had rarely been injured in battles before, all died in that battle.

The same person killed them, the woman who would look particularly terrifying in battle.

The woman didn't specifically target them, but casually killed his three brothers, simply as a matter of convenience.

As his brothers were being killed, Abara was in the rear, wanting desperately to avenge them;

But at that time, the overall commander of the army, seeing the situation was dire, issued the order to retreat.

As a soldier, Abara had to obey orders, but as the army retreated, he heard the ruthless taunt of that woman:

『Is this the so-called "never been defeated" Archimar army? How come not a single one of your elites could survive for five seconds against me?』

It was a humiliation for the entire army, the supreme commander understood, Abara understood, and everyone in the army understood, but no one could prove themselves.

Returning home, Abara felt grateful for his deceased parents, as if either of them were still alive, they might not have been able to bear this today.

It wasn't just his family, during that time, mourning spread throughout the country.

Archimar was the strongest kingdom in the Western Continent, and this was clear to everyone.

But this consensus only remained in the past, at least until before that battle.

Since the elite forces of the Archimar army, among the thirty thousand nations, were defeated by the three thousand strong Dibiles army led by the Empress, the "strongest kingdom" had already lost its glory.

It was precisely because too many strong warriors died in that battle that many miscellaneous soldiers appeared in the army;

This was why the overall strength of the kingdom's army could not be compared to the past.

The king felt unwilling to accept this and didn't want the country to decline in power, so he made great efforts to do something.

The war with Dibiles this time was the best opportunity for Archimar, a weakened country trying to revive its past glory, so preparations began actively.

The kingdom's army tried to seek revenge on Dibiles, but before they could meet their enemies, the enemies of their enemies came knocking.

Inran was the second strongest among the "Three Empires," and if they could defeat this country, Archimar could definitely be revitalized!

The king thought so, and Abara couldn't stop thinking about it either.

At the beginning of the war, he eagerly hoped for a decisive victory, witnessing his respected leader charge out, only to see that person die on the battlefield.

The person who killed his leader rode on a flying dragon, her figure in the air particularly eye-catching, so Abara couldn't help but notice her.

If it weren't for the sake of the entire army, he would have charged out alone at that moment.

The reason he didn't act was that he judged that the main force of their side charging out would surely be defeated.

From the moment the gunfire rang out, he believed it was time to stop the attack;

Unfortunately, his position was not high enough, and even if he notified his comrades to retreat, the other captains would not accept that advice.

As a result, the situation of the battle turned out as it did.

At the moment he anticipated the defeat of the main force, Abara decided to conserve his strength.

He planned to wait until the main force and Inran's army finished fighting, then lead his reserve troops to determine the outcome with the enemy.

After giving orders to deal with the obstructive comrades, Abara felt it was time;

Next was the moment for the remnants of his forces to determine the final outcome against the enemy knights!

At that moment, Abara held a tiger spear nearly nine feet long;

The blade of the spear was nine inches long, with several blood grooves on it, the blade sharpened in sections, making it look like a rectangular shape;

It was deep red, having drunk the blood of many enemies.

Nearly half of the spear shaft had an iron tube connected to the head and shaft;

Near the spearhead junction, there were also two deer antlers on the left and right sides, with long leather strips hanging down, to prevent the spear from penetrating too deep and injuring himself.

After all, this tiger spear was originally designed to fight tigers.

With a blade like a knife, the spearhead was extremely sharp, able to pierce even through the tough hide and bones of a tiger;

Additionally, on Abara's saddle, there were several iron bone flowers attached;

This item looked like small copper hammers with spikes, similar to mini maces;

These weapons were specifically designed to deal with heavily armored targets, shattering them upon impact.

Abara was skilled in horsemanship, controlling his mount with waist and leg strength alone, not needing both hands to direct the steed;

Perched atop his horse, he maneuvered flexibly left and right.

Most of the soldiers beside him wielded tiger spears, with only a few using long-handled hacking knives.

The hacking knives equipped by the kingdom's army were narrow and curved, with both blade and shaft, nearly seven feet in length;

If the target was struck, they would surely be split in half, man and horse alike.

This army was fully prepared and ready to confront the knight's party.

In the next moment, a wave of white smoke generated by magic guns revealed the figures of the riders;

Each of them exuded a murderous aura, with occasional flashes of cold light in their eyes.

As the moment of confrontation approached, various complex emotions surged through Abara's mind.

From the knights of the opposite knight's contingent, he discerned the shadow of the Dibiles army;

It was strange, considering the two sides were from completely different countries.

Subsequently, Abara forcibly quelled the various emotions in his heart, regaining his usual calm demeanor.

He noticed someone beside him was about to take out a riding bow and immediately roared to stop the action.

The agility of the opponents, combined with their armor, meant bows and arrows were ineffective against them in this situation.

Dealing with these elite knights would require throwing weapons.

At this moment, Abara's eyes were sharp as an eagle's, he spurred his horse forward, shouting loudly:

『Kill all the enemies!』

The soldiers of the kingdom's army also roared:

『Kill all the enemies!』

Compared to the excitement on their side, the Ye Chuxue-led knight contingent had a calm response.

The leader simply ordered indifferently:

『Leave none alive...』

With dust billowing, the iron-clad hooves of both sides' cavalry thundered heavily on the ground, echoing with a heart-throbbing dull sound.

In an instant, the distance between the two sides was close, and the knights raised their arms, causing spears to resound;

While the kingdom's soldiers vigorously hurled their javelins, throwing axes, and other weapons.

The two wings of the two armies first engaged, the front row of the knight contingent making initial contact with the enemy and adjusting their formation.

With a total of two thousand people, they only left five hundred in the center while the remaining fifteen hundred cavalry flanked both wings.

The two wings were divided into multiple layers, sloping upward from inside to outside, allowing the magic guns to shoot diagonally.

Layer by layer, the knights continued to shoot, with magical spears emitting flashes of fire, the smoke dissipating rapidly backward.

One by one, the kingdom's soldiers were hit;

The amazingly destructive bullets instantly tore through their expensive armor plates, then pierced through the padded armor underneath, finally breaking through their innermost chainmail, penetrating their bodies.

As the bullets rolled inside their bodies, meeting air at the wounds, the powerful internal pressure turned the blood into spurting arrows;

In that moment, these soldiers fell from their horses in agonizing screams.

Some soldiers were particularly skilled in horsemanship, and thus adept at avoiding hits.

To deal with these agile enemies, the knight's contingent decided to change tactics and began targeting the enemy's warhorses;

When the horses were hit, they let out long, mournful cries, thrashing and rolling over, throwing off their riders.

When the two sides made initial contact, a few kingdom soldiers on the wings threw their throwing axes with precision and force, while moving with the momentum of their mounts.

As one of the knights from the contingent just fired a shot, knocking an enemy off their horse, a projectile quickly flew towards her.

This knight instinctively raised her shield in front of her;

With a "boom" sound, the shield shattered into pieces;

Under the violent impact, the knight lost balance on her mount and soon fell off the horse.

Before she hit the ground, a net formed of threads caught her, preventing her from being injured by their own warhorses.

『If injured, rest in the rear; if able to continue, mount back up.』

The main purpose of Ye Chuxue's presence on the battlefield was to rescue endangered subordinates.

However, in a battle between two armies, it was impossible for one side to have zero casualties, even with Ye Chuxue present.

Yet, there were others besides her who could save those riders!

A throwing spear shot forth, its sharp tip aimed at a certain knight who had lost her shield and was unable to avoid the impending hit.

At that moment, the person riding on the back of a flying dragon opened her mouth slightly;

After a moment of incantation, she raised her right hand, conjuring an elemental shield in front of the knight, helping her block the fatal blow.

『Future Brother-in-Law is truly reliable!』

The rescued knight didn't speak flattery but genuinely thought so.

Being the one who was grateful, Wang Xiaole's feelings were complex.

His disciple mentioned that Archimar had fought against Dibiles and had been seeking revenge in recent years;

If Inran could destroy this country, it would indirectly benefit Dibiles;

Today, the knights were our allies.

To avoid twisting that heart into a knot, Wang Xiaole persuaded himself with this reason...
