Lucius also swung his sword at Davian without giving in, and the two of them directly entered into the most intense collision in this battle. Whether it was Davian or Lucius, they would try their best to kill the enemy in front of them.

Chapter 114 Another victory

While Lucius was dragged into a fight with Davian, Artoria had already approached the first line of defense of the Roman coalition.

Looking at the defense formed by spears and shields in front of her, Artoria stabbed out with the holy spear in her hand.

The whirlwind of magic broke all the spear heads, and the tip of the holy spear shattered the hard shield. She easily broke through the first line of defense.

Altria and her knights broke through one line of defense after another. Unless a wall was placed in front of her, it would be impossible to stop her.

The Roman knights Gainus and Carleburne tried to organize similar knights to stop King Arthur, but the two were stabbed off their horses by King Arthur as soon as they met.

They couldn't even see how King Arthur swung his spear and pierced both of them at the same time at that moment.

Without even needing Davian's support, Artoria directly killed the center of the Roman coalition army with one blow. Even if there were giants trying to stop her along the way, they were only pierced through the body by a beam of golden light.

King Arthur turned into a storm sweeping across the battlefield, or a giant dragon ravaging the battlefield. Under her spear, mortals were nothing more than lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

[Is this really a human? ]

Such a thought flashed through Wenqinlib's mind involuntarily. He couldn't believe that such a terrifying person existed. But at this moment, he couldn't help but think of a sentence that Aguguiwen once admonished the knights.

[The king is not the incarnation of a dragon, but has the heart of a dragon, which is completely different from the magical energy we are born with. You can't ask people with god-like magic power to have the same values ​​as us humans. 】

Wenqinlibu treated the second half of the sentence as a fart, but now he had a clear understanding of the first half, even though he had witnessed the scene of our king holding the holy spear and piercing Vortigern's heart during the previous expedition against Vortigern.

But now on the battlefield, watching my king sweeping the battlefield with the holy spear like sweeping ants, Wenqinlibu truly realized the extent of my king's power.

Perhaps it is because in the past on the battlefield, Davian himself would act as the strongest spearhead to defeat all enemies, so many people did not notice how powerful our king is.

But now, seeing King Arthur leading no more than two thousand knights to break through all the defense lines of the Roman coalition forces, they finally realized how terrifying our king's strength is.

"All troops! March! Now is the best time. Let us drive back these proud Romans and make them realize how powerful Britain is!"

Ungerib drew his sword and pointed it forward, giving the order for a general advance.

The entire British army immediately launched the final charge of the battle. Anyone with a discerning eye knew who had won the war.

Lucius couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard the change in the voice and momentum on the battlefield. The madness disappeared from his brows, and at this moment he really felt tired.

But he couldn't admit defeat yet.

"It seems that we won this time."

Davian's dark sword was always pointed at Lucius in front of him. Although he and Lucius did not win or lose, Britain won this battle.

"Humph, you have indeed won. Rome admits this, but Rome has not been completely defeated. Rome will definitely make a comeback."

Lucius finished speaking, and he leaped onto an ownerless warhorse. He pulled the reins and retreated directly. Davian was in no mood to care about him now.

The entire battlefield has turned into a pursuit war. The defeat of Rome has given Britain an opportunity. What they need to do now is to kill more enemies and capture more prisoners of war.

At the end of the battle, the British side can be said to have won a glorious victory.

Although the casualty ratio finally stopped at 1:2.2, they captured a large number of prisoners of war. It was a great joy to be able to win such a victory against the huge Roman coalition army.

It's a pity that Britain's supplies make it difficult for them to organize a grand celebration. It's better to say that my king thinks it's unnecessary and just give all the soldiers some meat dishes.

Even for the real frontline commanders, they only had four more bowls of stew. To be honest, sometimes Davidian wanted to push the chef aside and cook a few dishes himself.

The birdman in Britain can't cook?

But Davidian finally ate the bread and stew obediently, because the king was right in front of him.

After all, he still remembered the scene where the king ate up all of Gawain's mashed potatoes in front of all the soldiers. Afterwards, he couldn't bear it and secretly cooked a few dishes for Altria and sent them to her.

"Thank you all for your hard work. Today we have another great victory! Please drink this cup!"

Altria raised her glass first, and except for Bedivere and Boss who were unable to get out of bed due to injuries, everyone else raised their glasses high.

This victory was no different from the small-scale, low-intensity battles with the Saxons in recent years. They really fought a head-on battle with the Roman army and achieved such a great victory, which was enough for them to be proud of.

"It's all thanks to my king. I didn't expect that he could defeat the Roman defense so bravely. Our army can have such a great victory, all thanks to my king's bravery."

Today, Vincenzo finally realized how powerful King Arthur was. With such a king around, there was no war that could not be won.

Davian nodded and agreed with what Wenqinlib said. Today's victory was really all thanks to Altria.

The Romans were defeated in one battle thanks to Artoria's direct attack on the enemy's center.

On the contrary, he himself did not break the enemy's line today as usual. After all, the Sword Emperor was really difficult to deal with.

Altria smiled, accepting everyone's praise. But then she said:

"Now that they have only won this battle, Rome will not give up so easily. I believe there will be a battle on a larger scale next time. If they can still win by then, I am afraid Rome will have to completely stop fighting."

Everyone present agreed. Artoria's idea was not wrong. Although Rome was defeated in this battle, it did not hurt Rome enough to stop it from invading Britain.

There is still a part of the Roman coalition forces that did not arrive at this battlefield due to the long journey. The next battle will probably be a decisive battle when Rome completely assembles its army.

"We will definitely win, just like now, we will not lose. My king, we will definitely win."

Davian had strong confidence that they would win the war against Rome. He had this confidence and believed that they would never fail like this.

Artoria poured him a glass of wine herself, then put her hand on his shoulder and whispered to him: "Well, I believe in you, my general, my champion. You will definitely win for me. Laurel, huh?”

"must!"

Chapter 115 Plan

After that, Davian spread out the entire Tenth Company to spy on the Romans' movements.

A steady stream of intelligence came into his ears, and he was thinking about whether the current situation was favorable to them and where would be the most appropriate place for a decisive battle with Rome.

When the Romans retreated to Cyssoni, which was only a day's journey away from them, they stopped. Davian understood that those guys still wanted to take the initiative to attack.

"Sir, the terrain over there is a valley. Be careful of the Romans setting up an ambush there."

Captain Sven of the 10th Reconnaissance Company warned Davian out of caution. Davian nodded, the other side was luring them over to fight.

But this was also a rare opportunity. Davian felt that he could find an opportunity here to win the battle against Rome.

It is normal for him to have this idea. Roma may be able to delay the game, but they can no longer delay.

With so many soldiers here, plus the horses, the daily food and necessities for the people and horses are a huge expense. If this continues, Britain's finances will be dragged down by this war, which will be really fatal.

"You go ahead. I will go to see the king. Stay alert and beware of the Romans' sneak attacks. Although the Scouting Company is not a frontline corps, you have suffered heavy losses in the small-scale scout battles during this period."

Davian was not unaware of the time it took to investigate Dalian, and they had been working very hard during this period. However, in the current situation, no one could relax.

Sven nodded and left Davian's tent. Davian also left his own tent and headed straight for the king's tent.

When he got here, he saw Artoria gesturing on the map. Davian looked at the map and was surprised to see that Artoria was planning to attack the Romans in four directions.

Is this the king's perspective? Davian could not have thought of such a tactic.

"Oh? You're here, Davian. Come and see how this works."

When Altria saw Davian enter the tent, she happily came to him, took his hand and pulled him to the map.

She began to explain to Davian the tactics she had come up with, dividing the troops into four groups to attack the Roman camp.

This time it is an immediate tactic, which means that my king has no intention of giving that group of people time to prepare.

The Romans had just arrived at the valley of Sessone this morning and had begun to set up camp there. If they attacked now, they might have a chance to smash the enemy's camp and defeat the Roman army in one fell swoop.

"The first army, led by you and Sir Tristan, will lead all the companies that the First Legion can advance to attack the enemy camp. You must do your best to hold the enemy back.

I'm sorry, Davian. I can't give you too many people in order to give them the illusion that they can swallow you whole."

Altria gave Davian the most dangerous and troublesome task, a task in which he could lose his life if he was not careful.

Davian understood what she meant. Lucius would definitely see their strategic intention, which was that the advancing Davian troops were just bait.

Will Lucius succumb to greed and try to devour them, or will he retreat calmly?

What Artoria wanted to gamble on was his mentality. Once Lucius became greedy and tried to swallow the whole bait, the subsequent troops would have a chance.

"The second army will be commanded by Vincenzo. This is also a bait, a gamble, and it is also to buy more time to delay the current Roman army.

A more skilled commander like Vincenzo would have more opportunities to pin the Roman army down there, and that would be the delay for the second wave. "

Artoria moved the small flag representing Vincenzo forward, so that continuous attacks would completely wear down the Romans.

But Artoria knew that such a battle would not defeat Lucius, who was also a genuine emperor. To defeat him, they had to rely on the last two armies.

Davian looked at Altria, he already understood what Altria meant.

The first two armies competed against the resilience of Britain and the fighting power of the Romans.

If the Romans were more powerful and could swallow up Davian and Vincenzo before the arrival of the last two armies, then the Romans would even be able to free up their hands to fight the third and fourth armies.

"I will be the third army to raid the Roman camp. When Lucius sees me, he will probably think that this is our full strength.

He might even fight me directly. If this happens, I will win. ”

Altria pushed the small flag representing herself, but this time she picked up the small flag representing Percival.

"But the key killer will be Percival! Percival has already set off. The valley terrain of Sessoni does ensure that as long as it is not penetrated, the Romans can always grasp the rhythm of attack and defense. But after a major detour, it is not impossible to raid their rear."

Davian looked at the banner of Percival that was being pushed by Altria, bypassing the mountain and eventually attacking the rear of the Romans. He couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then he said:

"Have you ever thought that the key core of this plan lies in Percival. What if he can't get there in time? What if he is blocked along other routes?

Then we might be in big trouble. He might even not have enough time to reach the rear of Rome because of the detour."

Altria nodded before answering:

"Yes, I know what you mean. Percival has even lost contact with us now, and we will not have any way to contact him when the time comes.

But the key to this battle is his surprise attack. Otherwise, we can only compete with the Romans in a tug-of-war, which goes against our original intention. "

Davian no longer smiled bitterly, and he put away all his expressions. Davian took off his cloak, hung it on the hanger beside him, and said:

"I understand. I will gather my troops and attack the Roman army immediately. The rest is up to you."

Seeing his resolute look, Altria felt sorry for him but could only say, "I'm sorry, Davian, for always asking you to take on the most dangerous tasks."

She knew very well that no matter the outcome of this war, it would cause heavy damage to Davidian's First Legion, and even Davidian himself would be in danger.

Davian was a little surprised by her words for a moment. After he reacted, he said proudly: "Is this really the first time that you can say sorry to me?"

After that, he walked out of Altria's tent with a big laugh. Altria could only hear Davian's shouts afterwards, and seven large companies of soldiers were quickly gathering together under his shouts.

They will launch an expedition at the cost of their lives, using only a few thousand men as the vanguard to attack the Roman coalition forces which still number tens of thousands.

Perhaps after this battle, many of them will not be able to leave this land and return to their hometown.

But they will still be happy to die for my king, because they know that their sacrifice is valuable, and my king will surely win by stepping over their corpses!

Chapter 116 The First Wave of Offensive

As Davian assembled his troops, he could feel a special emotion and power resonating among him and his legion.

For some reason, Davian seemed to have vaguely felt a bottleneck.

He always felt that if he could break through this bottleneck, he and his legion would enter a new realm.

But unfortunately, he has only vaguely felt this bottleneck now, and he no longer has more time to feel this special power and emotion.

And now, except for the Sixth Company which had been taken away by Percival, the Ninth and Tenth Companies were left to Vincenrib.

The remaining seven companies had all been hit by Davian, with Tristan following him.

A total of 4,202 war horses were ready. Although they were infantry, each man was equipped with a horse in order to raid the Roman camp as quickly as possible.

Fortunately, because they had defeated Rome once before and seized a lot of Roman war horses, so the number of horses was sufficient.

Davian stood in front of everyone. There was no last bowl of wine before the battle. That would be too luxurious for the British army.

There was no inspiring speech either; Davian was not good at that.

Davian simply raised his weapon in front of everyone with the most serious expression and the sharpest eyes.

The loyal soldiers of the First Legion responded to him with the same action, and the next moment everyone jumped on their horses and rushed out of the camp.

They charged, charged like thunder! They had no time to cherish the horses under their crotches.

They had to seize every moment and rush over before the Romans made their camp impregnable.

It would take the Roman army a whole day to travel this distance, but this elite legion, with the help of war horses, could complete the journey in just half a day.
