Can't I develop my own character?

What happens when heavy cavalry collides with musketeers?

The answer is obvious.

The officer's heart was bleeding as he watched the musketeers who had been trained at great expense being slaughtered one by one. But before he could give the order, other iron-blooded soldiers who were following the cavalry charge from a farther distance had already rushed over.

In the clash of cold weapons, it was obvious that the fighting power was leaning towards the Iron Blood Legion. Then a scene that surprised the Caint soldiers appeared - a light cavalry of about two hundred people rushed out, and they were carrying muskets instead of bows and arrows!

The muskets fired as the horses galloped, killing one Cairnt soldier after another with incomprehensible accuracy.

Horseback archery.

This was originally a technique that the nomads in the Western Barbarian region were good at, but Maganna forcibly trained them and replaced their weapons with muskets.

When this 'cavalry' appeared, the officers of Kainte knew that it was over.

"Pull the cannon over here! Pull the cannon over here!" he shouted.

boom! boom! boom!

A series of explosions sounded.

"My Lord, something bad has happened! The bombardment team is under attack!"

"The cannon is destroyed!"

"tmd!"

The officer's face looked extremely ugly.

The frontal attacking team has not withdrawn yet, and the rear defense is weak. If it is a head-on confrontation, their 6,000 people can still fight with their numerical advantage. In this situation, they have no way to fight unless they destroy the opponent's heavy armor.

The Iron Blood Legion thought so too, so Gluck led the assault team to directly destroy the cannons brought by the Kaint army.

"Retreat! Stop fighting and retreat!"

yelled the Kainte officer.

Orders were conveyed one after another, the offense turned into defense, and the defense began to retreat. However, the Iron Blood Legion had no intention of letting them go. Although the Iron Blood Legion was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, these steel-like soldiers still chose to execute the Grand Duke's order without hesitation - kill them all!

"That's fucking awesome."

Ryan had already climbed onto the city wall, and what he saw was the scene of the imminent defeat of the Caint army. He still underestimated the Iron Blood Legion, and did not expect that only two thousand people could exert such terrifying power.

In this situation, it is useless even if a low-level extraordinary person comes. With the heavy armor charging and the musket firing, even a second-level extraordinary person cannot withstand it, not to mention high-lethality firearms such as grenades and cannons.

However, it is difficult to hit a superhuman with a cannon, unless it is a nuclear attack, but the technology has obviously not yet been developed to that point.

Therefore, the role played by the extraordinary people in the war was also extremely important. If it were not for Gluck leading the surprise attack, the Iron Blood Legion would have suffered much greater casualties even if it had won.

"No wonder the Iron Blood Legion is so powerful."

Ryan sighed inwardly.

This heavy cavalry is basically an enchanted and enhanced Iron Pagoda, and the light cavalry's muskets are also incredibly lethal. This iron-blooded legion has no shieldmen in close combat, and the rest are all axemen, attacking with battle axes, and their lethality is particularly terrifying.

Offense is the best defense!

The word "iron and blood" is truly worthy of the name.

Ryan had no idea that even the Iron Blood Legion didn't have such elite combat power. To successfully launch this attack and to show off in front of Ryan and the people of Berman, Maganna had summoned the elite of the Iron Blood Legion.

Otherwise, with only two thousand people, how could she have the confidence to kill all the enemies?

But Ryan really didn't know. He looked up at Maganna who was standing proudly under the magic projection. The little loli was very majestic and imposing.

You know what, if Ryan hadn't activated the cheat code, he would have really thought of rushing up and shouting "loyalty".

He looked around and saw that the soldiers on the city wall were all excited. They were obviously shocked by the strength of the Iron Blood Legion and wanted to join them immediately to kill everyone.

The chaotic fight began!

The Iron Blood Legion's mobility exceeded that of the Caint Army. This team of 6,000 people was caught off guard after being attacked, and hundreds of them died in a blink of an eye. In addition, the casualties from the siege had already exceeded 1,000.

The defeat was overwhelming. In this situation, numbers alone were of no use. The Cainte people were ready to retreat and regroup, but the Iron Blood Legion gave them no chance at all. The heavy cavalry fought their way in and out, the light cavalry roamed around the periphery and shot arrows, and the remaining axemen were divided into two teams to continuously reduce the numbers of the Cainte army.

Ryan discovered that Gluck and others were also mixed in the battlefield. Led by Gluck, a third-level transcendent, except for Xueyi and An who stayed to protect him, the remaining five people started the massacre.

Gluck and others come from the military. They have far stronger willpower and execution ability than ordinary extraordinary people.

The battle lasted for half an hour. Although the Caint Army still retained its combat effectiveness, the situation had completely turned in favor of the Iron Blood Legion.

At this moment, an army rushed down the city streets, led by Casradi, and behind her were thousands of city defense troops.

Casradi climbed up the city wall and shouted, "Imperial soldiers, defend the country and eliminate these invaders!"

The city gate opened, and the city defense army rushed out in an instant, forming a double-teaming situation with the Iron Blood Legion against the Caint army.

The overall situation is decided!

"Protecting the country, huh~" In the sky, Maganna glanced at Kasladi with disdain, then turned around, and her figure faded into the void.

Kasladi frowned slightly, not caring about Maganna's ridicule. She just felt a little regretful that she came a little late, and she didn't expect that Maganna had gotten there first.

But fortunately, she finally arrived, which is better than waiting until everything is over. If she shouts out what she just said then, it will be a joke.

"This Maganna actually sent troops here. It seems she wants to take over Berman City as well... No, we must not let her succeed."

"That's fine. Since she's sending troops, my request to the Emperor is more likely to be granted. As long as the Emperor gives me Berman City, I will nominally be the controller of Berman City. This city is now mine. What is Maganna going to fight for?"

The Hand of Darkness is gone, and the Blood Archbishop is being cleansed out by Janus and the Fire Covenant. Once Bill dies, Berman City will be her territory.

Maganna?

If you join in at this time, you won’t get any soup at all.

...

The battle lasted less than an hour and ended successfully after the city defense troops arrived.

The Kainte army was defeated, the main force was wiped out, and only a few scattered soldiers escaped successfully, but the total number was less than 500.

The Iron Blood Legion sent out two hundred men to pursue, and the remaining main force was stationed in the dense forest southeast of Berman City.

In the afternoon after the war, order had basically been restored in the city of Berman. The Blood Cleric had been subdued, and the remaining pagans had gone into hiding.

Looking at the city defense forces patrolling the streets, the citizens dared to walk out slowly to breathe the fresh air after the war.

Although the impact of the "war" has spread, it actually makes no difference to most people. The war is global and will invisibly dominate the situation in the Augustus Empire. In other words, wars will frequently break out within the entire empire.

For example, some suppressed conflicts will also be affected. When the oppressed take up arms, war will break out.

Then war leads to bigger wars, and the cycle continues.

However, this kind of thing will at least not affect the current city of Berman.

After Edward was rescued by the people from the Janus Gate, he recovered a lot after treatment.

Leah asked him about Cazorla Prison, and then personally cast a spell to blur the memory, making all the survivors, including Edward, blur their experiences in Cazorla Prison.

This blurring technique does not directly erase a person's memory, so it will not have much impact on the person. Edward vaguely remembered that he seemed to have experienced something terrible, but when he thought about it carefully, he could not remember it, until he walked back to his home in a daze, knocked on the door, and saw the girl he had not seen for a long time.

His daughter, Ellie.

“Father…Father?!”

Ellie opened the door and looked at Edward, who looked haggard, and tears couldn't stop flowing out.

"Great, you're still alive..."

Ellie hugged Edward.

"Ah, daughter..."

Edward had a thousand thoughts in his mind, which finally turned into a smile on his face, "I'm back."

"Father, where have you been?"

"I don't remember much, but I just felt like something bad happened."

"Come in, you must be tired. Rest first. I'll prepare something to eat for you."

Ellie led Edward into the house and suddenly remembered something. She took out a cross sword pendant from her arms.

"Before you came back, someone... well, I don't know if it was your sister or your younger sister. She gave this to me and said you would be back soon. Father, do you know who she is?"

"Huh? This thing..."

Edward took the Blade of Karut and looked at it carefully. He felt that some memory was about to come out, but he still couldn't remember it.

The Blade of Karut seemed unchanged, but its power had disappeared when 'Shari' drew the Sword of Ares.

"She's a...good person, right?" Edward smiled and patted Ellie's head. "A good girl like you."

Far outside the house.

The hooded 'Charlie' put her hands in her pockets, and after making sure that Edward would be alright, she turned and walked into the street.

......

the other side.

The Janus Gate's cleansing of the Blood Archbishops is nearing completion.

But Leah didn't feel happy at all. Although the impact of the "war" was eliminated by the great divine grace, the so-called elimination only had a direct impact on the entire Berman city.

"'War' has descended upon Augustus. This is a seed sown by an Outer God, the Bloody Butcher Doclodes. His power will continue to influence the Augustus Empire until war destroys order and a new power emerges."

Leah looked at Lin Qi, a hint of doubt in her eyes. "You led people to attack Cazorla Prison. What exactly happened inside?"

Lin Qi said, "Fight."

"anything else?"

"Blood, slaughter, and sacrifice."

"..."

Leah waited for a while and found that Lin Qi didn't seem to have any intention of continuing to speak. She felt helpless all of a sudden. Child, you are really frugal with words.

However, she probably also learned about the situation from other members. There was indeed only constant fighting. The Blood Cult member 'Hart' she had been chasing seemed to have died in it, and according to those who were rescued, some Blood Cult members including Hart were sacrificed by a girl named 'Charlie'.

Charlie, who is it?

A singer of a higher level than the Blood Archbishop?

That's not right. They are fighting. The Blood Cult members are besieging Xia Li.

I can't understand it at all.

If they weren't members of the Blood Cult, how could they preside over the sacrifice? If they were, why would they fight among themselves?

Leah rubbed her head, feeling that this matter was even more complicated than the Canon of Janus.

According to some Janus members, they saw people who looked like Charlie appearing in various corners of the city and killing the Blood Cultists who were causing trouble. Does this mean that the other party is not an evil person?

"Anyway, be careful," Leah said. "I plan to return to Janus Gate once the matter with the Blood Archbishop is over. Lin Qi, come with me."

Lin Qi thought for a moment and nodded.

"it is good."

Leah chuckled: "I have already told Pope Silvia about your situation. She is very interested in you. I believe you can become the next Saint."

...

"Your Highness, the Iron Blood Legion is stationed outside the city and it seems they have no intention of leaving."

In Edinburgh.

After Echo returned from outside the city after investigating the situation, he reported the Iron Blood Legion's movements to Casradi.

"Ah~ It's true."

Casradi sighed softly.

She originally wanted to talk to the person in charge of the Iron Blood Legion, but the other party did not give her any chance. This Iron Blood team only obeyed Maganna's orders. Not to mention her as a princess, even if the old emperor came, it might not be of any use.

But the Iron Blood Legion will not leave, which means that Maganna will definitely send people here later, and the other party also wants the fat piece of meat in Berman City!

In terms of geographical location, Berman City is located in the southern border area of ​​the empire. It is far away from the imperial capital and is less restricted by imperial power. It is also not on the border. Even if war breaks out, it will not affect here in the first place.

On the contrary, this place can take advantage of the chaotic situation on the border to grow rapidly and make money from the war. Casladi checked the situation within the municipal government. After Bill became the mayor, the economy of Berman City improved a lot, and the tax revenue was even comparable to some prosperous cities in the empire.

Although, in her opinion, the taxes in Berman City are indeed a bit high.

Facts proved that her mother's vision was correct. Bill was a talented person, but unfortunately he chose to betray her in the end.

Now Grove has also been killed by her, on the charge of colluding with Bill and colluding with foreign enemies, although she found that Bill seemed to have been betrayed by Grove.
