Time is early morning. Perhaps because of the warm spring weather, the valley is shrouded in a faint morning mist. Today the weather is not clear, but it is not gloomy. The spring wind blows along the valley, but at this time, even the warm spring breeze cannot change the solemn atmosphere on this land.

The scouts on the periphery of Ryan's army have already reconnaissed the situation of the Immortal Legion. The scout's report and the magician's sense can clearly grasp the marching of the Immortal Legion. Unless the vampire stops the marching of the Immortal Legion in the middle of the journey, the Immortal Legion will arrive in this battlefield that has been selected in about an hour.

Leto rode on a tall horse, wearing a shiny breastplate and helmet, and a long sword around her waist. Because she decided not to give the vampire array at the beginning, she was taking advantage of the last time to review the military appearance and boost morale. The array of Ryan's army was as Leto expected,

The elite musket knights and pistol cavalry have already gone to harass the Immortal Legion. With them here, it can ensure that the vampires cannot set up formations first and then approach the battlefield. In fact, even if these cavalrymen with muskets do not go, Leto does not believe that the vampires can set up formations and approach them, because the terrain itself limits this matter. But no matter what, this move will definitely consume a considerable number of the elite vampires before the battle.

Leto looked ahead, because of the fog, he could not see the situation in the distance. He tried his best to make himself look calm, but in fact he was filled with excitement: this was his first time commanding the army. Although he knew very well that he had the advantage in combat power, he still had an inexplicable excitement and impulse, just as if he was still a young man.

But he cannot express any inner emotions. He is the master, and he must make all the generals and soldiers feel that he is the embodiment of the iron will and the belief in victory.

In the center of Ryan's army, there are dense phalanxes composed of infantry. There are a small gap between the phalanxes to ensure that the musket knights can retreat safely to the rear through intervals. Almost all the soldiers on the front line hold long halberds. Their mission is to fight against the enemy's charge and use the length advantage of the long halberds to weaken the impact of the enemy. The soldiers on the second line are mainly swords and shields. They will play the melee advantage of swords and shields in the hands-on battle between the two armies, in order to defeat the enemy in a lasting battle.

Although these infantry are relatively poorly equipped, they win because they are large enough to withstand consumption. In Leto's idea, they will assume the role of "anvil" and hold the Immortal Legion firmly in place without moving.

On the left wing of Ryan's army, a small earth mountain dug into a lonely peak was arranged around. Since the earth mountain occupied a lot of space, there were a few troops here. Giant sword soldiers who were strictly trained and wearing high-quality armor were responsible for guarding the place. Giant sword soldiers were well-equipped and all selected from experienced veterans. The combat power was much stronger than ordinary soldiers, and they were the elite force among infantry. However, this time, Leto did not intend to make them a breakthrough, but just hoped that they could protect his real secret weapon.

Under the protection of the giant sword soldiers, the powerful military machinery that the Ryans are proud of is being placed on the lonely peak, turning it into a veritable turret. A whole row of storm-single-beaded cannons - these are the latest achievements in military machinery and are the most powerful artillery in the human world. This position was carefully selected by Leto, and placed here, the range of these cannons can cover the entire battlefield. Once these new weapons can exert their firepower, it will cause a very heavy blow to the Vampire Immortal Legion.

In addition to these cannons, there are two magicians sent by the church on the turret. They will use magic to provide protection for the turret just in case. With their help, if the vampire tries to destroy the cannon with magic, it will be disappointed.

Ryan's powerful Knights were placed on the right wing by Leto. This time he went on an expedition to bring two Knights (the musket knights are independent and do not belong to ordinary Knights), all of which are elite troops with a long history and glorious military achievements in the country. No need for anything else, you can see it just by looking at the complex flags of the Knights. The Kingdom of Ryan has a tradition, a force that has made special achievements, and then it has the right to have its own unique flag. A Knights have more than ten different flags, which itself proves that it is an elite unit with great military achievements.

This is also the most elite unit in Leto's hands. If everything follows Leto's plan, the Knights will act as a "hammer", after defeating the enemy in front of him, detour to the enemy's rear, and then hit the "Anvil". Clamping the Immortal Legion in the middle and completely crushing it.

However, the horses occupy much more space than people. In order to give the knights enough space to charge and rectify, the knights' queues must extend backwards, and in fact they become a column. However, Leto thinks that this is nothing wrong. Anyway, there should be no unit in the Immortal Legion able to withstand the frontal charge of the Iron Armored Knights - the number of black knights is too small, and the combat power of other troops is too poor - even if the frontal is narrow, it doesn't matter.

Behind all these troops, there was a two or three high, very uneven earth slope. Musketeers, archers, crossbow archers and other troops were all placed here. Especially the musketeers, they occupied the height of the earth slope. Leto originally hoped that they could stand high and support the front line with firepower. But the fact seemed to be a small joke. The day was really not enough, and the earth hill was not piled high enough, which made the musket shooting effect unsatisfactory, far less than as good as Leto expected.

Fortunately, it doesn't matter, Leto comforted himself in his heart. The most powerful part of the musket is the armor-piercing ability of the bullet, which can still play a good role for enemies with heavy armor. But it is not that important for the Immortal Legion. Almost no armor does not have armor, and the damage effect of the bullet is far less than that of the bow and arrow.

No matter what, this earth slope allowed the musketeers to finally try shooting. If there was no earth slope, the musketeers arranged behind would probably not be able to do anything.

In the middle of the slope, almost all other magicians sent by the church gathered here. They will provide magical support to the army and are ready to destroy the black magic cast by the enemy at any time.

The range of purple stone is indeed not large enough. Although it has been carefully arranged and the terrain has been fully utilized, the actual formation is still very thick. However, a thick formation has a thick advantage, that is, it is extremely difficult to break through. The most likely tactic of vampires - that is, personally leading the most elite troops to "cut through" tactics at a certain point and use their powerful combat power to make a frontal breakthrough. But in the face of such a thick formation, this tactic can only be futile struggle.

Leto carefully observed the army's lineup. I will definitely win! He told himself in his heart that no matter from any angle, he had no possibility of losing. Of course, even if he lost... there is still that path... no, it is not so much for the sake of precautions, but rather on a whim and not within his consideration.

A strange sound came from the mist in the distance. This was because the sound of the muskets could be heard very far due to the echo of the mountains. The sound was still far apart, but it was enough to show that the muskets had begun to withdraw. This unit was responsible for harassment on the front line and caused the enemy to kill and hurt the enemy. They could not stop the undead legion from advancing.

The battle is about to begin.

Soon, there were active figures in the mist. They were the cavalrymen who were shooting and retreating. Light cavalry holding two pistols and musket knights holding continuous revolver guns. These cavalry activities were very regular and were all active on the scale of squadrons. A squadron stopped, lined up to shoot, and turned around immediately when the shooting was over, retreated while filling in muskets, and shot again after the muskets were ready. Although the overall look seemed to be retreating in a mess, in fact, each team was in order, without wasting any waste, and no accidental injury to each other. This is something that only a well-trained elite division can do.

But these cavalrymen holding muskets also had obvious casualties. Some things that were not clear seemed to be stuck in the cavalry. Through the telescope, Leto recognized that they were some ghosts without substance. These monsters had no material form, like a ball of mist that would not dissipate. Leto knew that bullets had no effect on this monster, but in fear and panic, many people still shot at them and wasted precious bullets in meaningless places. The touch of these ghosts had a fatal effect on humans. When the ghost passed through the middle of the cavalry, there were always a few people who turned over and fell off.

"A bunch of idiots." Leto stood in a safe distance and cursed in a low voice. However, it was no longer suitable for him to continue observing before the army. He advanced along the gap between the square formations and soon arrived at the highest position in the center of the slope. This was the place he had chosen to command the battle. His messengers, riders, drummers, trumpeters and others were already on standby here. The magicians were not far away and could accept his orders at any time.

"Can you use magic to attack those ghosts?" Leto asked the magician around him. He was the leader of the gang of magicians sent by the church, and his name was Bernando.

"No, the distance is too far. And they are entangled with our people, and they are inevitably injured by magic."

Leto took a look again. The fog was very faint, but it still affected his sight to a considerable extent. At this moment, there was no main force of the Immortal Legion. However, Leto was sure that under the harassment of these long-range cavalry, the vampire must have felt the feeling of being disturbed by the chaotic flies - it was impossible to beat, and it was terrifying and terrifying.

"Your Highness... I feel... they used black magic." Bernando raised his head and paused for a while with a look that seemed to be smelling something. "That's the 'Dance of Death'. This black magic can greatly increase the speed of undead creatures' advancement. Perhaps it is with the assistance of this magic that those stone tomb-bound spirits can catch up with the war horses."

"Stone Tomb Bound Spirit? Isn't that a ghost?"

"The overall name is Ghost, but they are still a little different from ordinary Ghosts. They should be said to be more powerful than ordinary Ghosts. The touch of these monsters can absorb the souls of mortals, and their own existence will make mortals feel extremely scared, and some people were even scared crazy before they were killed. But don't worry, their number is too small... I heard that in the previous battle with the Bin tribe, this monster suffered a lot of losses. It is not so easy for vampires to summon them... Oh," Bernando paused. "They started using this magic again... It seems that if they want to let the undead legion enter melee as soon as possible, do I need me to stop them?"

"Of course!" Leto replied immediately. The vanguard troops must be allowed to escape contact and retreat safely to the rear, otherwise it may cause chaos.
