A large number of frost giants carrying super crossbows like ballistas and javelin launchers raised their crossbows, ready to launch javelins to kill Aslan. But before that, Aslan had already raised his altitude and turned away.

There were more frost giants, frost ogres and orc warriors who wanted to keep the assassin Roberia who broke in. But it once again made the maid famous.

The maid wielding a long sword was like a killing machine, killing gods and Buddhas. She killed all the enemies in front of her with the most violent attitude. She mercilessly opened a bloody alley and successfully returned to her own formation.

After that, the Crusaders' artillery and accompanying mages began to turn their guns and bombard the chaotic Frost Giant troops. At the same time, the Crusader Phineas' troops on the flank began to make a noise and launched a charge towards these Frost Giant troops.

Seeing that the powerful frost giant army was about to collapse before his own army, the commander of the Giant's Foot City-State was so angry that he cursed loudly. At the same time, he had to secretly place his hopes on the dark elves.

At this moment, the dark elves felt a little caught in a dilemma.

Just as Aslan had expected, the eight thousand elite mercenaries of the Black Rose Sisterhood were sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between the two tigers.

If the coalition forces gain the upper hand, then there is no doubt that they will rush over first, snatch Aslan away, and take him back for public service.

If the Crusaders gained the upper hand, they would turn against them without mercy, establish military exploits, build a good relationship with Aslan, get close to him, and then look for an opportunity to snatch him away and bring him back to do public work.

But no matter what, they didn't expect that the coalition forces would collapse at the first moment.

In this case, even if they turned against him, they wouldn't get any merit, it would just be icing on the cake, and it would even give people a feeling of "Ah, they are indeed dark elves, they really know how to change with the wind." - even though they are. But since they want to trick Aslan into working hard, they should at least pretend to be innocent and beautiful girls, at least they should say that they were influenced by Aslan and became good people, right? But now it's very embarrassing.

"Sister, what should we do next?" On the side, the deputy leader of the Black Rose Mercenary Group turned around and looked at the leader of the sisterhood.

If Aslan remembered correctly, he should know that this elder sister was the one who came to his military camp a few days ago and said that she could be a traitor:

"Who are we going to fight now?"

This eldest sister - if everything goes as expected, this beautiful dark elf woman might be Eliza's mother. Her eyes flickered and she observed the battle situation again.

At this moment, Iberval's Moon Elves and the main force of the Crusaders advanced to a distance of less than 100 meters from the opposite side, and then began to exert more long-range firepower.

The magic bow and arrows are the Moon Elves' special skill. As their old enemy, the Dark Elves have seen enough of the Moon Elves' archers. They have enough ways to defend against them.

However, the dark elves were rare in the Crusaders' musketeer troops - although their other arch-enemy, the dwarves, were also good at using gunpowder weapons. However, the number of dwarves meant that they could not form a musketeer team of several thousand people like the puppet maids.

The dwarven muskets were more about quality than quantity. They were more about tactics for small-scale skirmishes, rather than the current tactics of the battle puppet maids and the phalanx musketeers trained by Aslan, who attacked their own side in a relatively dense formation with a barrage of slow-moving tactics.

The musketeers in the front row would stay where they were to reload after firing, while the musketeers in the back row would move forward, pass them, then raise their guns and fire another volley.

With this tactic, the speed of fire output is not as fast as that of three-stage volley fire. If two musketeers are fighting, and one uses the three-stage shooting tactic and the other uses the barrage tactic, then the former will have more output than the other and will have the upper hand.

But if the enemy the musketeers are facing is not a musketeer, but a force that mainly uses cold weapons, then it doesn't matter. This kind of cut after cut, the feeling of a blunt knife cutting flesh, will constantly hit the opponent's nerves, dampen the opponent's morale, and cause the opponent to continue to lose troops. At the same time, watching the opponent's troops advance little by little, the sense of oppression and fear will continue to increase——

Of course, they also tried to fight back with their long-range projectile weapons, but the damage and shocking effects they caused were completely incomparable to those of the other side.

Whether it was mercenaries, the flying axes and javelins of the barbarians, or the citizen militia of the Giant's Foot city-state, or the powerful crossbowmen armed at great expense, none of them could be compared with the organized musketeers.

The Crusaders' strictly trained phalanx infantry could completely ignore the constant death of soldiers and advance calmly bit by bit.

This robot-like feeling of terror made the opposing coalition forces even more panicked.

Aslan: Almost there.

When the distance was shortened to 50 meters, the Crusaders' Order Knights held their lances and began to charge - they were attacking a mercenary force mainly composed of barbarians - these barbarians were usually elite light infantry armed with various axes. They had almost no formation to speak of, and they could not effectively defend themselves against the Order Knights holding five-meter-long lances, and could only be repeatedly overwhelmed like wheat being cut.

After a round of charge, the Order Knights did not continue to attack, but turned their horses back to the formation, and a new line of Order Knights continued to charge. This repetitive tactic shocked the barbarian warriors who thought they were brave. Even the most brave and elite barbarian warriors with more than ten barbarian levels had no good way to deal with this kind of impact.

Yes, they are fast, strong, and quick to react. They can even face the cavalry roaring at them without fear.

But the soldiers around them can't do that.

After one or two rounds of charge, the others around him were defeated. Only these elites and even master-level barbarian berserkers were left. As they charged forward with crazy shouts and roars, they had to face several spears charging from all directions at the same time.

The battle axes they wielded could break a spear, or even several spears, and a whirlwind slash could even repel or kill all the besieging knights - but the next ones to fight against them would be the master knights among the Crusaders.

Of course, there are also some people who will die in a more dishonorable way.

After the Crusaders' Knights of the Order confirmed that a charge would not kill them, they would unhesitatingly draw the short-barreled muskets at their waists and fire a round of concentrated fire.

If this doesn't kill him, then throw another round of Fire Alcohol, or have the battle mage in the army use a round of Lightning, Sonic Spear, or Ice Cone. There will always be a chance to kill them.

……

When the distance was shortened to 20 meters, Aslan issued a new order. All the musketeers reloaded a round, and then the front row crouched and fired together with the back row, achieving the maximum firepower output in an instant. Then, the phalanx infantry, holding their super-long spears horizontally, launched a group charge.

The whistling gunfire and roars instantly caused the already demoralized city-state militia to collapse.

Many of them were even on the battlefield for the first time. They had never seen such a terrifying scene, and it was hard to imagine that these people could charge with six-meter-long spears. From a distance, it was like a wall of spears pressing down on them.

And before these terrible warriors came to kill them, a round of volleys had already caused heavy losses to their side. They found that their comrades were dead in front, behind, and on both sides of them, falling to the ground, and their remaining morale collapsed in an instant.

“Ah, ah, ahhhhhhhhh!!!”

Amid screams, the citizen soldiers turned and fled - they collapsed even faster than the barbarians and orc troops who had encountered two rounds of charges from the Imperial Knights.

When these people turned around and fled, the golden dragon in the sky swept across the battlefield again. The dragon's breath and extended-fire artillery equipment caused some casualties to the citizen soldiers in the second array.

The combination of the two caused the second array of citizen soldiers who had not encountered direct combat to collapse and turn around and flee. Then it was the third array -

After only one round of fighting, the main force of the coalition army, the citizen militia of Giant's Foot, was defeated by the main force of the Crusaders and fled crying!

Seeing this scene, the mercenaries of the Black Rose Sisterhood realized that they had no choice under this circumstance.

Better late than never.

"Justice is in the Crusades! Raise the black cross flag, and we will join the Crusades - no, we are already the Crusaders!!"

The Black Rose Mercenary Group's leader gave the order without hesitation.

In addition to the army attacking the coalition's flank, the troops on the water also attacked the Giant's Foot sailors on the same ship without hesitation.

As a result, the last bit of possibility for the Giant's Foot city-state troops to regroup was completely gone because of this wave of betrayal.

The coalition forces completely collapsed and fled, or knelt down in surrender.

After seeing the collapse of the city-state troops, the mercenary troops who were struggling to hold on also surrendered without hesitation. Are you kidding me? If their employers don't fight, why should they fight? They are not idiots.

Finally, there are the Frost Giant troops on the flank.

Under such circumstances, the frost giants were still able to maintain a certain level of morale and organization.

They faced the Crusaders' artillery and the battle mages' magical bombardment, fighting and retreating.

The gray-skinned orcs on the outermost edge had lost their morale, but under the threat of ogres and frost giants, they still gritted their teeth and continued to serve as cannon fodder to block bullets and shells.

Aslan was a little curious about this, so he turned around and flew towards the frost giants.

At this moment, Kanna and Lady Elizabeth also killed or expelled all the Frost Dragon Orc riders.

After the death of the beastmaster Clenmill, the other group of white dragons also ran away. They also joined the ranks of attacking the frost giants - of course, they couldn't get too close. The frost giants' giant crossbows were still quite intimidating.

Aslan joined them in the air, and heard the Frost Giants threatening the Gray Orcs:

"If you slave scum dare to run away, I will eat your whole family when I get back."

Aslan: "..."

Ah, this threat is indeed terrifying. No wonder these gray-skinned orcs are trying their best.

At least for the moment Aslan felt that he could forgive these guys.

"Coach!"

General Phineas looked excited at this moment: "Can we launch an attack? Although the Frost Giants are very powerful, they are definitely no match for the Crusaders! As long as we dispatch all the artillery and the accompanying mages, we can--"

"--No."

Although Aslan also hesitated.

If we could annihilate a hundred Frost Giants here, we would be able to break the myth of the Frost Giants' invincibility.

For a country with a small population, a small tribe that bullies large nations, and a brutal rule, the loss of one hundred frost giants is very painful for the three frost giant countries. And after this, because of such a feat, Aslan will surely become famous again.

However, after a brief thought, Aslan decided to let them go - because for the time being, the Crusaders had no intention of going deep into the Giant Mountains and then launching a full-scale war with the Frost Giants.

The giants must have thought so too, otherwise they would not have joined the war as mercenaries.

The relationship between Giant's Foot and them is quite good. In a sense, Giant's Foot is even a vassal city-state of the Frost Giants.

But even so, the frost giants still did not directly participate in the battle, but adopted this roundabout way.

However, if Aslan killed a hundred frost giants in one go, it would be another matter. No matter how reluctant the frost giants were, they had to fight the Crusaders for their own face. Otherwise, they would not be able to explain to their tribesmen, nor would they be able to continue to use violence to intimidate and oppress the ogres, lead dwarves, and orcs.

The caste empire they built will collapse in a minute.

"Let them leave." Aslan ordered, "Use all your firepower at the same time to bombard... the enemy fleet."

"Yes, coach."

After a brief surprise, General Phineas chose to obey Aslan's order. Although he could not fully understand Aslan's meaning, it did not prevent him from executing Aslan's order.

After this crushing victory, Aslan's reputation within the Crusaders became even higher.

Indeed, winning a battle is the best way to gain prestige and solve problems. This has always been the case.

After Aslan's order was issued, the Crusader Knights and Light Cavalry continued to advance forward, capturing the almost disbanded citizen militia of the Giant's Foot City-State and the fleeing mercenary troops.

Of course, they were basically captured alive. After all, in the future, these people would also become subjects of the Crusader Empire.

"Send an envoy to ask those dark elves to be more restrained!"

In the same way, Aslan sent messengers to warn the dark elves who had turned against the enemy because they were too obsessed with killing and showed no mercy to the defeated soldiers.

"Are you kidding me? We are not your subordinates!"

The messenger arrived at the dark elf army with Aslan's order. After hearing the order, the dark elves there naturally protested loudly in dissatisfaction.

However, after a brief period of unhappiness, the dark elves finally decided to obey orders.

After all, they turned against Aslan in order to show their goodwill to him. If this show of goodwill did not succeed and instead caused Aslan's dissatisfaction, it would be meaningless and even dangerous.

After all, Aslan's army still had enough reserves to launch attacks on the dark elves anytime and anywhere.

The moon elves would certainly be very happy if Aslan ordered an attack on them.

……

Unlike the army, which was treated well, the Crusaders' long-range firepower bombarded the fleeing naval fleet. Ten or more naval soldiers died almost every second, and warships were sunk almost every minute. The water was full of various wood chips, canvas, and messy floating objects. Of course, there were more bodies.

On the one hand, it was to demonstrate firepower, so that the frost giants would know that they were not incapable of completely destroying them. On the other hand, it was also to completely destroy the resistance of the Giant's Foot City-State. Aslan showed no mercy to the enemy's sailors - of course there were some exceptions, namely those who hoisted the white flag as quickly as possible and announced their surrender. ...

When more ships hoisted white flags and declared surrender after confirming that their troops could neither escape nor resist, the Frost Giants' troops were also besieged.

After a brief negotiation, the Frost Giants, despite the humiliation, announced that they would lay down their arms and evacuate in an orderly manner.

You can give face, but don't give too much. Otherwise, the frost giants are likely to take advantage of you.

During the escape, the other two legends of Giant's Foot City-State were killed by the Crusaders, two seniors of Aslan, the legendary Paladins. The legendary barbarian warrior among the mercenaries surrendered without hesitation after the situation became hopeless.

As the last Frost Giant put down his crossbow and turned away muttering, the battle that broke out on the banks of the Frozen Water River and in the wilderness outside the Giant's Foot City ended with a perfect victory for the Crusaders.

The Giant's Foot bet almost everything on the gamble, and the 20,000-strong army was crushed to pieces by the Crusaders with a powerful and overwhelming force, which once again proved Aslan's excellent command ability and the Crusaders' strong fighting power.

After the battle, no one doubted that the Crusaders would conquer the entire northern region under his command and establish an unprecedented ice and snow empire.

It is conceivable that after this victory, Aslan will be able to gain more benefits.

Of course, before that, Aslan still had a small problem to deal with. That was the dark elf elder sister, Eliza's mother, the leader of the Black Rose Sisterhood, Liana Florvos, the Lady of Shadow, who had great power in the Underdark.

Chapter 42 A Touching Farewell

After a great war, there is a natural need for celebration, and the Crusades were no exception.

The usually stingy logistics troops were unusually generous. On this auspicious day, they took out their treasured fine wine, meat, spices, candy, and chocolate to provide a sumptuous meal for all the soldiers present.

As a temporary quasi-ally, although many people were still worried about their behavior, the Black Rose Sisterhood still received the same preferential treatment. There were even some fearless guys drooling at the slender and petite dark elf women.

Of course, the dark elves wouldn't care about this, but would happily flirt with these crusaders, which made Aslan roll his eyes and secretly complain, hoping that these idiots would be able to get up the next day.

……

Of course, when talking about this kind of thing, everyone can't help but complain about Aslan.

You say everyone else can't get up, but can you get up?

Although those dark elf bitches look at any man and swallow their saliva, they still look at you, the leader. And the leader of these dark elf bitches, the president Liana, is the type of plump queen you like most. Aren't you afraid?

Aslan's answer was of course that he was not afraid. What a joke, let alone one plump dark elf, I wouldn't lose even if there were a hundred of them, you bastard.

Thinking this in his mind, Aslan raised his glass and nodded to the beautiful woman sitting next to him. She had the same hair and eye color as Eliza, but was more mature, more charming, and had a better figure.

The other person sat next to Aslan in a relatively dignified yet rather seductive posture. The posture was quite attractive.

Such a good figure, which is one in a million among dark elves, coupled with a charming face like a fairy, I am afraid that even a gay man can be straight. No wonder Aslan couldn't help but look at her twice.

What a beauty! Aslan could not help but admire her, and then he said to Lady Liana:

"Madam."
