Chapter 99: Chapter 99: The Final Battle

Aslan counterattacked twice in a row, destroying the morale of the coalition army. If it weren't for Thor, the old knight, to stabilize the situation, the lord's coalition army would have been defeated long ago.

The little old man in the woods said lightly.

"According to the plan, the Lord Melo will surely win this battle, it's just the price that needs to be paid."

Gareth seemed to respect the old man in front of him very much, but he still couldn't see where Lord Melo's chances of winning were.

"Master Merlin! I still don't understand."

The short old man is the prophet of the dwarf clan in Changfeng Plain, the strength of a great mage, and the strongest fighting force in Changfeng Plain.

"Morale! The morale of the coalition forces has dropped to a freezing point. On the other hand, the morale of the Melo army is at its peak. Coupled with the trend of belief in protecting their homeland, the Melo army can exert 200% of its combat effectiveness. If Lord Melo If you dare to take the opportunity to attack aggressively, you will be 90% sure to defeat the coalition forces and end this war at the same time. If Lord Melo is afraid of casualties, the Melo region will fall into the quagmire of war when the coalition forces come to their senses."

The others nodded solemnly. They very much hoped that Lord Melo and the Lords of the Billy region would fall into the quagmire of war, so that they would have no time to take care of them in the Changfeng Plain.

It's a pity that their ideas are always just wishful thinking. Aslan will never allow the Melo region to be dragged into the quagmire of war. He also plans to take advantage of his foresight to vigorously develop the Melo region and prepare for the future unification of the Kingdom of Cleveland.

Now that he was reborn, his natural vision and goals were naturally higher.

He wants to become the supreme king of the Kingdom of Cleveland, and then use this as a starting point to complete the unfinished business of his previous life.

"The whole army advances slowly!" Aslan handed over the knight's body to several soldiers, rode back to the front of the formation, and gave an order decisively.

The crossbowmen moved forward slowly, so the soldiers had already loaded the Melo crossbow, and held a crossbow bolt in the other hand, preparing to reload the arrow when the crossbow shot out, so as to maximize the speed.

Their daily training is to shoot ten crossbow bolts in one minute.

The biggest improvement of the Merlot crossbow is that it is equipped with pulleys, and its attack speed has been greatly improved. Compared with its predecessor, the rhubarb crossbow, it is not only much better.

The Melo army began to advance, causing a commotion among the coalition forces, forcing Thor to kill nearly a hundred people in a row before he managed to stabilize the formation, but the formation was at a slow retreat speed.

The formations of the two sides moved forward and retreated, with a distance of more than 50 meters. Thor saw that the banner of attack was constantly being played on the Meili River. Thor cursed inwardly, raised the knight sword in his hand, and shouted loudly.

"The whole army charges! As long as we win this battle, all the slave soldiers will be free, not only you, but also your wives and children will no longer be slaves, but citizens under the lord's rule, enjoying all the treatment of free people."

Thor rode his horse and ran to the other side of the army formation, where the soldiers were better equipped and their combat effectiveness was stronger, and the overall number was only one-third of the slave soldiers.

"On the day of defeating Lord Melo and breaking through the town of Melo, you are allowed to revel for three days. The gold coins you snatch are yours, and the women you snatch are also yours. As long as you can snatch them, they are all yours."

The slave soldier was boiling, and freedom was something he had dreamed of all his life.

The free folk soldiers also cheered. Their purpose of participating in the war was not to be loyal to the lord, but to come for gold coins and women.

When Aslan heard Thor's declaration of war, he sneered and shouted loudly.

"Did you all hear that?"

"I heard it!" All the officers and soldiers of the Melo army shouted in unison, their neat and murderous voices were like an alarm bell, beating heavily on the hearts of the coalition soldiers.

It was the first time they heard such a deafening sound.

"Then what shall we do?" Aslan raised his spear and shouted loudly.

"Kill them all!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Many coalition soldiers who were still in a state of frenzy could not help but calm down under the scorching killing intent.

The Mello army began to advance.

Many soldiers of the coalition army also began to advance, and their desire for victory made them completely lose their fear of death.

Shhhhh...

The crossbowmen of the Melo army started to shoot arrows, retreated after shooting the arrows, nocked the arrows, and stepped forward to shoot arrows again.

Simple and mechanized movements.

The soldiers of the coalition army fell down like cutting wheat, but the slave soldiers behind were still rushing up, shouting frantically.

With a distance of 350 meters, it only took more than 40 seconds to face the charging coalition soldiers.

At this time, each crossbowman shot seven arrows, which is definitely a super long performance.

"The crossbowmen retreat! Formation."

Arthur estimated the distance, and there was still 50 meters left. The crossbowmen quickly lined up in threes and retreated. The vacated positions were occupied by the elite infantry. They stacked their shields layer by layer, like a wall of shields standing in front of them. .

The pike infantry in the rear also quickly filled their positions, piercing the pike through the gap between the shields, making the original shield wall as terrifying as a hedgehog.

The distance between the two sides was only ten meters, and Aslan stood behind the shield wall and shouted loudly.

"Steady!"

Boom!

There was a loud noise, and some soldiers hit the shield wall with their bodies. Although they were quickly stabbed into hedgehogs, more and more coalition troops rushed towards them frantically, causing the shield wall to shake.

Spears and long swords kept waving between the gaps in the shield wall, and blood continued to splash out. At this moment, the superiority in numbers was slowly revealed, and they actually pushed the shield wall back slowly.

Aslan waved his hand, and the crossbowmen who had withdrawn began to open another quiver, which contained another kind of arrow.

The arrow is larger than ordinary arrows, and has a slightly curved shape, with barbs and blood grooves on it. It has weak armor-piercing ability, but its lethality is extremely strong. Once a person is shot, he will lose his fighting ability for a short time. And because the bend on the arrow creates a counterforce in the air, causing the arrow to tilt downward.

Referred to as falling arrows.

The crossbowmen were 150 meters away from the front battlefield. Under Gao Wen's order, densely packed arrows shot out from the air. As the reaction force and kinetic energy of the arrows were exhausted, the crossbow arrows drew an arc and fell. in coalition positions.

Artoria, who had been watching the battle silently, stood up abruptly, her face full of disbelief.

"What kind of arrow is this?"

The shouts of killing shook the sky, Aslan took a deep breath, and actually shouted with a long spear: "Knights and guards charge with me."

Less than twenty knights and two hundred guards circled out of the battle formation and attacked the enemy's left flank, while the right flank was constantly consumed by crossbowmen.

When Aslan stabbed with his spear, a slave soldier was thrown into the air. With a sweep of his spear, he hit the head of a slave soldier who was about to move forward, causing blood to splatter everywhere.

Boss guarded Aslan's side, and the crescent halberd danced vigorously in his hand.
