The north wind howled, and the heavy snow on the ice field in the sky fell again.

However, no amount of snow could stop the battle from continuing.

Nine days have passed since the Black Cavalry caught up and began to harass the "turtle shell" of the main troll army from all sides.

For nine days, the 50,000 black cavalry troops were divided into three groups, taking turns to go into battle and implement harassment tactics against the troll army.

In these nine days, the troll army only traveled less than fifty kilometers.

According to this turtle-like speed, this troll army does not know when it will return to the settlement area located in the northern half of the Cangqiong Icefield.

Moreover, during this short journey of fifty kilometers, they had left behind more than 30,000 corpses of troll soldiers.

Perhaps such a number of casualties does not seem to be a thorn in the side of an army of more than 200,000.

However, this pressure with no hope of escape is destroying the fragile nerves of the troll soldiers day by day, pushing them to the edge of the cliff of collapse.

The troll army's military formation also began to expose more and more flaws under this continuous harassment.

However, the Black Cavalry Army still did not launch a general attack.

They are like experienced and cruel hunters, constantly making small wounds on their prey, watching it bleed, struggle, and become weaker and weaker...

Marquis Garcia was very patient.

Colin was also very patient.

In fact, Colin even wishes the trolls could hang on a little longer.

Because, following Marquis Garcia during this period, he did learn a lot about cavalry combat.

These things cannot be learned from military books or battle examples in romance novels.

Not to mention the military education of the Angelet family can match it.

In Colin's memory, his family's military education was almost all about infantry combat.

There is no way, the Angelet family cannot afford cavalry.

But now, after seeing the terrifying power of the Black Cavalry, Colin could not help but want to sell all the iron to create a cavalry of his own.

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

Once this thought occurred, it was deeply rooted in Colin's mind and could never go away.

In order to better experience the way cavalry fights, with the permission of Marquis Garcia, Colin personally participated in several black cavalry raids.

Although there was no detailed statistics, Colin estimated that he had killed thirty or forty troll soldiers.

He didn't care about this military achievement. After all, Marquis Garcia was not the lord he was loyal to. No matter how he performed, he could not get the reward from Marquis Garcia.

However, Colin felt that what he was currently learning from Marquis Garcia was actually something more valuable than money, territory, or even a title.

He hadn't even figured out why the Marquis looked at him so differently.

However, he would not let go of this excellent learning opportunity.

"Your Majesty, Marquis, can the size of each cavalry team be larger during the raid?"

No, Colin found the right opportunity and began to ask for advice again.

Marquis Garcia has long been accustomed to this: "The key to determining the scale of cavalry operations is to grasp the balance between mobility and aggression.

The size of the cavalry team is too small, so their mobility is naturally excellent, but their offensive capabilities are poor.

However, it is not that the larger the cavalry team dispatched, the better.

Once the number of cavalry exceeds 10,000, the commander must be extra careful. The military orders cannot be complicated, let alone change too much, because once the military orders are changed on the spot, chaos will occur.

Therefore, the general cavalry team is controlled at a scale of one thousand to three thousand, and mobility and offensiveness are relatively well balanced.

As for the specific deployment, it must be decided on the spot based on factors such as the combat goal and the enemy's status. "

Colin nodded repeatedly.

It was approaching noon, and the Black Cavalry soldiers who had gone out to harass and fight in the morning had already returned to camp one after another.

But Colin was still keenly aware that the half-day harassment operation ended slightly early this morning.

Originally, he didn't care too much. After all, after so many days of continuous fighting, even the tough soldiers like the Black Cavalry Army couldn't help but show some fatigue.

However, the increasingly solemn atmosphere in the camp made Colin realize something.

After hastily stuffing some food to show off, and drinking some blood to replenish his strength, Colin arrived at Marquis Garcia's camp.

The guards outside the tent did not stop him. They were already familiar with the son of a baron who was valued by Marquis Garcia.

"Lord Marquis, are you preparing for a decisive battle?" Colin looked at Marquis Garcia, who was putting on his armor with the help of his retinue, and asked excitedly.

Marquis Garcia smiled slightly: "Well, it's almost time."

After saying that, he walked out of the camp.

Colin hurriedly followed him.

Outside the tent, the soldiers of the Black Cavalry Army had already begun making preparations for the war.

Moreover, Colin noticed that the soldiers who participated in the attack in the morning were also making preparations at this time.

In addition, the three thousand heavy armored cavalry who had not participated in the raiding operations before were finally wearing armor and ready to go.

These heavily armored cavalry wearing full body armor look like steel monsters, exuding a formidable aura of terror and an ultimate desire for killing.

They have been waiting for too long and are already hungry and thirsty!

In fact, the heavy armored cavalry has always been very controversial, because its advantages and disadvantages are equally prominent.

Expensive, bulky, and rarely applicable in scenarios... However, these shortcomings cannot cover up the biggest advantage of heavy armored cavalry - that is the extremely terrifying impact!

Therefore, heavy armored cavalry has become the best weapon to break through the infantry square formation.

At this moment of decisive battle, Marquis Garcia finally used the most powerful weapon in the Black Cavalry Army - the three thousand heavy cavalry!

However, while Colin was excited, he was surprised to find that Marquis Garcia had also put on full body armor, holding a lance, and came to the forefront of the heavy cavalry phalanx.

"You, are you going to lead the charge in person?"

"certainly."

Colin was a little stunned by Marquis Garcia's natural look. He really didn't understand why Marquis Garcia, as the supreme commander of the Black Cavalry, would take risks himself.

You must know that the heavy armored cavalry attacking the infantry square, masked by its terrifying attack power, has a terrible casualty rate that cannot be ignored.

Earl Dawson on the side smiled and said to Colin: "Every time the heavy armored cavalry attacks, it is led by the Marquis himself."

Just when Colin was speechless in surprise, Marquis Garcia suddenly smiled and asked: "Knight Colin, do you dare to charge into the battle with me?"

"Of course!" Colin replied without hesitation, "It's my honor!"

"Okay!" Marquis Garcia laughed, "Then you will hold the flag for me!"

"Yes!" Colin immediately stepped forward to take the heavy black lion flag.

The flag bearer who was handing over patted Colin's chest hard, so hard that Colin couldn't help but suspect that the other party was jealous of him.

"Woo——"

The vast horn sounded again.

The killing begins!
