Now that they see the longbowmen suffering losses, they are naturally very happy.

Of course, in addition to this, there is also the excitement——

Two or three thousand armored cavalrymen charged head-on into an army of sixty thousand!?

What is a knight?

This is called knight!

This is what a glorious knight should be like.

Mount your warhorse, pick up your lance—

Then, amid flowers and cheers, you will be invincible!

"Your Majesty!" The knights of Iris looked at King Charles eagerly.

"Let's prepare for battle!"

"Let us fight the Khitans in a fair and square battle, using the knightly fighting style!"

Speaking of European cavalry, who can compete with the Lithuanian Winged Hussars?

Then there is no doubt that it can only be the knights of the Iris Kingdom.

Then, before King Charles could speak.

The knights cheered.

"Long live the great king!"

"Long live the great iris!"

"Long live the brave and glorious knights!"

"Your Majesty!" The Iris Knights were so excited that the Plantagenet people were frightened.

They admitted that the Knight of Iris was very strong.

But the Khitans on the other side...

That guy is not a human being at all!

"The scourge of God is so terrible!" they cried bitterly.

"Your Majesty, please do not go into battle!"

"It's better to defend it—preferably along the river."

"You are now the pillar of this holy war."

"If you lose here too—then the end of the world will truly come."

"Don't cross the river to confront the Scourge of God."

If it were in the past, they would definitely have watched Iris's fools die with a smile.

But it's different now.

The army was defeated like a mountain.

If the Po River camp was easily defeated again, these people would be exhausted and it would not be easy for them to escape.

This made King Charles very unhappy.

Originally, he had to think about whether it would be risky to go to war with Shu Yichao head-on.

But once the Plantagenet people spoke, the nature of the matter changed.

what does it mean?

You mean I'm going to lose?

The knight who despises irises?

You know, after his reforms, the combat effectiveness of the Iris Kingdom is completely different from before.

This is no longer a military issue.

It's a matter of face!

Moreover, even if a head-on battle broke out, King Charles believed that he had a good chance of winning - he brought an army of 20,000 to 30,000, of which half were cavalry!

In normal times, when he took this army out for a stroll, all the surrounding countries would be terrified.

What’s more, with the allies in the Po River Camp now, there are a total of 80,000 troops!

Anyway, in theory, there are so many people...

Now, if he fights two or three thousand Khitans, will he lose?

Even if every Khitan was as brave as the legend said, and could defeat five with one.

That's 80,000 versus 15,000.

Our advantage is too great!

Sure enough, before King Charles could speak.

His allies, nobles, and knights had already jumped out to speak.

"Hey, hey, what do you mean?"

"After losing a battle, you boast about your enemy as an apocalypse—how cowardly!"

"There is no place for cowards like you in the glory of the Lord."

"How dare you call yourself a holy warrior?"

"Why don't you go back and cry for milk from your mother?"

The people of the Plantagenet Kingdom were so embarrassed by what they said that their faces turned red and pale, and in the end, they could only leave silently under the mocking eyes of everyone.

Let's go, it's not safe here either.

escape.

The further away you can get, the better.

Looking at the people of the Plantagenet Kingdom leaving dejectedly one by one, and then looking at the high enthusiasm of the knights around him, King Charles nodded slightly.

Then, in front of everyone, he drew his sword and shouted loudly.

"Brave knights."

"Take up your lances, mount your horses, hoist your banners—"

"Use the blood of the enemy to compose the glory and hymn of the knights!"

"Everyone."

"In this glorious crusade—your King is with you."

“Don’t forget, the Lord is watching you!”

"Oooo!!!"

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

The cheers almost blew away the entire camp.

Amidst everyone's anticipation, King Charles issued his orders.

"Cross the river—and meet the battle!"

Chapter 98 - Double Link

Julia region.

This was an important region on the overland route from the Balkans towards Italy.

Tens of thousands of allied forces gathered here, blocking the "Khitans" from advancing towards Italy by land.

In the past few days, this place would have been a chaotic and noisy scene.

Soldiers in various attire were marching back and forth, their voices clamoring loudly. Food, arrows, and weapons were piled high in the camp, and a constant stream of vehicles and people crisscrossed the roads.

The military camp stretched for who knows how many miles, looking as magnificent as a moving city.

But now...

This "city" was burning with flames!

After Shu Yichao captured Milan, he marched day and night without stopping and rushed towards the camp.

After all, there are so many red dots.

The coalition forces stationed here never expected that such a terrifying army would suddenly appear from behind them.

They had almost no chance to resist as thousands of Iron Pagodas rushed into the army formation under the cover of night.

"What's that sound?" When a soldier heard the loud rumbling sound, he curiously stuck his head out to see what was happening.

Then--

“Boom boom boom!!”

Blood splattered, and they fell to the ground one after another amid the screams of other soldiers.

"Brothers, follow me!" Shu Yichao rushed to the front as usual.

He fired continuously from the jewel bow in his hand, and almost none of the coalition forces within his sight could stand.

"not good!"

"It's the Whip of God!"

"Here comes the Whip of God!"

Some people were so frightened that they saw the blood-red double-headed eagle flag and screamed wildly, trying to escape.

Their chaos led to other neighboring troops falling into chaos as well.

Wherever the iron torrent of the Iron Pagoda rushed, death and fire burned there - tents, military formations, and trestle bridges were all shattered and then burned with red flames.

For a moment, thick smoke rose into the sky and red light covered the ground, making people feel as if they were in hell.

The coalition forces collapsed completely.

When the dawn light began to shine on the earth, tens of thousands of coalition troops had been reduced to ashes.

"Holy Revelation." Sophia came to Shu Yichao surrounded by several servants and said respectfully.

"The Zheleans want to see you."

"You can handle it yourself." Shu Yichao clicked on the small map and looked at the red dot on it, becoming more and more excited.

"Let me see who to fight next."

"It really is more fun to fight when there are more people!"

Thanks to the huge size of the coalition forces and the scattered camps, Shu Yichao was as happy as a hamster in a rice jar.

There are red dots everywhere.

There are wild monsters everywhere.

There is no need to search everywhere, just fight as soon as you meet, it will be refreshing.

"During the battle, even eight times the speed feels a bit slow." Shu Yichao pondered for a moment.

"Adjust it faster."

The Relayans crawled into the tent, and even though Shu Yichao was not in the tent, they did not breathe a word.

But despite being scared, they were all very excited, some even had tears in their eyes.

The king’s teacher has finally arrived!

In the past year, the Crusaders have caused great trouble to Italy.

They didn't consider themselves outsiders at all.

Every warehouse was smashed and emptied to raise military rations needed for the war.
