Strong soldiers stepped forward and began to remove the barriers. Removing the barrier was a task that required considerable physical strength. However, since the Krusenstein army was involved in numerous wars and offensive battles, they also received a lot of training in removing roadblocks, and it did not take long for the trained soldiers to remove the roadblocks.

“What kind of measures have already been taken… ”

The Ambrosia family was in turmoil. It was unexpected that the barrier would disappear so quickly.

The musketeers had to go in behind and the infantry had to come out, but the musketeers and infantry were tangled up and could not move well.

Meanwhile, Kruzenstein’s army approached, and soon Kruzenstein killed the tangled infantry and musketeers at once.

The situation did get a little better after reaching the second row. Ambrosia’s soldiers entered with spears and faced Krusenstein’s soldiers.

Armies that mainly engage in close combat deploy veterans at the vanguard and newcomers at the rear. This is because hand-to-hand combat was synonymous with spirit fighting.

Therefore, Ambrosia’s second-line soldiers were not easy people. They were people who had been hardened by three years of war with Carter and other small countries.

So a fierce battle took place. The two armies continued to attack each other, repeatedly pushing and pushing back.

Meanwhile, the Ambrosian army’s cannons continued to fire. The Krusenstein army’s morale gradually declined as they saw the accumulating damage.

‘The cannon thing is quite troublesome.’

The enemy has about 40 cannons. And every time those 40 guns spewed fire, our troops died without mercy.

‘If it lasts too long, it’s at a disadvantage. I have to finish it quickly.’

Leona, who thought so, shouted to the generals.

“Concentrate your forces in the center and form a dense formation! Push with force!”

Krusenstein’s soldiers began to flock like a swarm of ants. It was pouring towards the center of the hole. Ambrosia’s musketeers, who were stationed throughout the mountain, did not need to aim at the enemy. Since there were thousands of enemies in close formation in sight, all you had to do was shoot and you were hit. It was half water and half meat.

Ambrosia’s musketeers were satisfied with the current situation and fired freely, but soon realized that the situation was not satisfactory.

‘A friend… It started to get pushed back… ‘

Since ancient times, compact formation has been the key to victory in close combat. Having 20 people gathered in the same space naturally exerts greater power than having 10 people gathered together. The gathering of 30 people showed greater power than the gathering of 20 people. That’s why Krusenstein’s soldiers packed as many soldiers as possible into a limited space.

And they set up shield soldiers at the forefront and began to push back as much as they could. Ambrosia also responded in close formation, but the problem was the difference in combat experience. There was a large gap between the Ambrosia army, which only used its shields and gave strength, and the Krusenstein army, which had been trained to push and knew how to push.

Both armies used their shields to push each other back, and Ambrosia’s musketeers on the hill constantly hunted down the concentrated enemies. Ambrosia’s cannon steadily fired fire to hunt Krusenstein’s army in the center/rear. Originally, the normal situation would have been for Kruzenstein to have suffered damage unilaterally. The Krusenstein army’s muskets were at the bottom of the hill, so even if they aimed their muskets, they would only hit friendly forces.

However, the key to victory or defeat was training. The Krusenstein army’s dense infantry unilaterally pushed back Ambrosia’s dense infantry, and soon the Kruzenstein army, which succeeded in climbing up the hill, spread out in all directions and began to hunt the musketeers who were firing one-sidedly.

“Holy shit!”

The musketeers also began to use the short swords they had, but the problem was that the professional infantry and musketeers were armed differently. The musketeers were easily hunted by the relentless advance of the enemy, who attacked with thick armor.

Less than an hour has passed since the battle began. Considering that some battles last for several days, one hour is a very short time. Nevertheless, the winner and loser were already divided. This is why Ambrosia initially tried to stay in the castle. There was no army in the world that could compete with Krusenstein in rotation.

Godwin von Ambrosia, feeling anxious about this, said to the matriarch:

“What about Meyer? When will you betray me?”

“Ah, I will send you a signal right now.”

Gamo approached the artilleryman and signaled. Then the artilleryman put down the cannonball he was trying to load and loaded another cannonball. This was a signal.

‘Signal flare?’

Godwin, who was puzzled for a moment, quickly nodded.

‘aha. There was a promise to betray you if you fired a signal.’

And soon, Gamo’s signal gun was fired.

But there was something strange.

This is because as soon as the signal gun was fired, Gamo got on her horse and ran backwards in fear of death.

“What is it? Where is Gamo going?”

And the next moment.

betrayed

Not Mayer’s army, but Gamo Frost’s 8,000 army.

“Frost! Put a white cloth around your head! This is the mark of our allies!”

Frost’s army began to throw white cloth at the general soldiers, and the soldiers quickly picked up the white cloth, distributed it around, and wrapped it over their helmets.

And soon. The Frost army, all clad in white cloth, rushed forward.

Not towards the Krusenstein army, but towards the Ambrosian army.

“Charge!!!”

“Wow!!!”

The Frost army, which was well rested and had sufficient stamina, attacked the exhausted Ambrosia army.

In response, Mayer sent messengers everywhere to inform the generals.

“A person wearing a white cloth on a helmet is an ally. Do not attack.”

“What, what? I understand.”

I don’t know what’s going on, but since Franz said it, I decided to trust it for now.

Thinking like that, I charged towards the enemy, but the enemy was already fighting. They were talking among themselves.

“What is it? Is it an infighting?”

At first I thought it was an internal dispute, but I soon realized.

[The person with a white cloth on his head is an ally.]

It was only after hearing those words that I understood the situation.

“The enemy has betrayed you!”

Clemens, Haakon, and Adelheid, who realized this fact, shouted to the soldiers.

“All troops! Now is your chance! Attack with all your might!”

Soon the allies rushed towards the enemies, and Ambrosia began to be surrounded and attacked from the front and back.

“Gamooo!!! You betrayed me!!!!!”

Godwin was devastated by the sense of betrayal. Gamo was originally a peddler. They took in someone like that and raised him, but they betrayed him. The feeling of betrayal was aggravating because Godwin thought he would be with his matriarch for the rest of his life.

“I cherished you so much! This son of a bitch!!!”

Godwin himself drew his sword and rushed towards the matriarch. Gamo’s soldiers stopped Godwin. The matriarch shouted.

“It’s the head of the commander-in-chief! If you cut off the commander’s head, it’s 10,000 ducats! You all know how much money 10,000 ducats is, right? Even if you play and eat for the rest of your life, no! That means it’s a decent amount of money for two people to play around with! Cut off the head of the commander-in-chief right now!”

“Wow!!!”

The soldiers’ morale was boosted and they rushed towards Godwin. Godwin drew his sword and charged on horseback. As the barded horses charged, their massive weight literally sent countless soldiers flying through the sky. However, there were many Gamo soldiers and Godwin was only one. As the soldiers continued to create a human wall, the horses lost their charging power and had no choice but to stop in the middle.

And the horse standing in the middle of the battlefield was just a large, easy target. The soldiers holding spears lifted Godwin’s barding, exposed his inner flesh, and stabbed him mercilessly. The horse screamed and fell down.

However, Godwin immediately got up and started attacking the soldiers. Thanks to Godwin’s excellent swordsmanship and the thick plate armor he was wearing, the soldiers were unable to easily block Godwin.

“Well, what are you doing! Stop it! That means stop it! Is 10,000 ducats something you don’t want?”

Gamo shouted, and the soldiers shouted and rushed in, but they were soon torn in two by Godwin’s sword skills. The soldiers slowly began to back away, and when Godwin approached, they immediately shouted that he was a monster and ran away.

And Godwin arrived in front of the matriarch. Godwin approached the matriarch and raised his sword. Bloody tears were flowing down his face.

“Gamo! You son of a bitch! I trusted you!”

“Sa, please save me, my lord! This is all a misunderstanding! I can explain!”

“Explain in hell!”

Gamo tried to run away, but soon her feet got twisted and she fell. And the moment Godwin was about to slash his sword at Gamo.

-Taang!

A gunshot was heard from somewhere. Godwin’s head was instantly bent to the side and he fell. Godwin fell and never got up again. This was because there was a bullet lodged in his head.

“Is he dead?”

The matriarch approached cautiously and shook Godwin. Godwin stood still with bloody tears in his eyes.

“Hehehe, hehehe! I won! I won!”

The matriarch stood up with a very excited voice. Then he looked at the benefactor who saved his life. The archer was a neat-looking nobleman with light blue hair tied back. Because Gamo was a person who handled information, she was able to know who that person was.

‘Adelheit von Ignati… ‘

The person whom he only thought of as his enemy saved his life. Adelheit von Ignati rushed over and helped the matriarch to her feet.

“Are you okay?”

“Trigram, it’s okay.”

Soon, knights wearing silver armor flocked around Gamo. Ignati said.

“I heard the story from Mayer. These are my articles. We will protect you until the battle is over.”

“Ah, yes. Thank you!”

As soon as Godwin died, the Ambrosian army became distraught and began to flee. It was the end of the battle.
