Chapter 656: The Vanguard Battalion of the Reinforcements Encountered a Fierce Battle

General Denton knew how difficult this battle was. In order to increase his chances of winning, he decisively decided to send someone to invite the Demon Association. After some communication, the two sides reached a consensus that there was no way out of this battle and they had to fight to the death.

However, this meant that the masters of the Magic Association would also be involved and face life-threatening dangers. But surprisingly, the magicians did not panic at all.

One of the magicians said calmly: "General, don't worry. If there is a real fight, we will never stand idly by. You just need to send someone to protect us while we cast spells safely. The Magic Association is willing to fight alongside you!" His words revealed a determination, as if he was full of confidence in this battle.

Then, the magician said with emotion: "This Maya Principality is dead and life is in decline. People are used to a stable life. Perhaps it's time to change..."

After hearing this, General Denton was overjoyed and immediately gave orders to the soldiers to prepare for war.

Thus, the decisive battle between the two sides began in this area. Knight Denton decided to adopt a unique tactic. He ordered the troops to shrink to the line of three stores to form a solid defense line.

As soon as the enemy approaches, they will encounter overwhelming magic attacks with incredible power.

Faced with such a powerful magical offensive, the elite enemy army could not help but feel fear. After saying a few harsh words, they left behind more than 20 corpses and hastily evacuated without looking back.

They occupied the streets with shops and used the terrain to actually repel General Qinminlou. You have to know that they belonged to the guards of the imperial palace.

Knight Denton was in a good mood when he saw the enemy retreat. He was not afraid of the invading enemy by cooperating with the Motor Association. In addition, the place was long and narrow, and no matter how many troops there were, they would not be able to deploy. Therefore, they were able to hold on, but they hoped to change the dynasty.

Great Knight Denton: "Gentlemen, we have rebelled today and there is no turning back. This time we only want to seek neutrality. Even if we fight, it is only to protect ourselves. Facing moral condemnation, we can't commit suicide or die! So we have to hold on for a while, waiting for the Pumasai army to enter the city..."

The soldiers listened to the speech and didn't want to die at this moment. The general was the backbone, and only he could protect everyone's life and death. They all responded in agreement: "General, what should we do?"

"General, tell me, what should we do next?"

Denton: "Gentlemen, block both sides of the street with heavy furniture from the shops to reduce the number of troops that may attack at any time. Those who are good at archery will guard the upper floors of the shops on both sides, and the infantry will follow me to fight with the enemy at any time. Life and death are determined by fate, and the brothers who survive will be my relatives in the future, and we will share weal and woe together..."

"The general is mighty!".

"The general is mighty!".

Afterwards, more than 300 strong men took quick action, working together to set up roadblocks and block the road tightly. These roadblocks could not only block the enemy's advance, but also buy more time for the enemy to attack.

Knight Denton witnessed all this and felt lucky in his heart. He had just decided to convert to Sir Cashen, and now it seemed that this decision was so wise!

He was originally a knight of a small country, but now he has the opportunity to become a knight of a big country, which means that he will have more opportunities to make great military achievements and gain honors and medals.

Moreover, Knight Denton had also heard about Pumasay's new policies. Although these policies might be disadvantageous to the nobles, they could enable the poor civilians to live a better life.

This is undoubtedly a path to wealth and power, but even if the Principality of Maya wanted to do so, it would probably be difficult to achieve.

Five o'clock in the evening

The 20,000 reinforcements finally arrived at the entrance of the Yemola Valley after overcoming all obstacles. Scouts sent news that the terrain was dangerous and the vanguard battalion had already engaged in a battle with the enemy for the pass.

It makes sense that the enemy deployed 5,000 elite cavalry at the pass to prevent reinforcements.

The commander-in-chief, General Yakov, the imperial guards of the Naidong camp, heard the scout's report: "All troops listen up, march quickly to the pass and join the battle, without any mistakes."

The heavy cavalry, who had no time to rest on the spot, all put on heavy armor, mounted their horses and carefully crossed the narrow paths in the valley to support the vanguard camp. Thirty generals led the way and were ready to take the lead later.

The enemy was not stupid either. They deployed 5,000 troops there, resulting in a fierce battle as soon as the vanguard troops came into contact with them. The other side attempted to block the vanguard camp at the pass.

Afterwards, as the main forces joined the battle one after another and replaced the vanguard battalion, the general deployed the vanguard army to take the lead. With their strong military force, they turned the situation around in an instant.

The enemy suffered heavy casualties in the fight with the vanguard battalion, so their formation began to show signs of disintegration.

Ke Qilong, the leader of the vanguard, burst into tears: "General, the enemy has the advantage in terrain and we have no choice but to fight hard. We have suffered heavy casualties. Now there are less than 300 of us. My brother... was killed in battle..."

The general felt sad. The Vanguard Battalion was the strongest unit in the army. The loss was too heavy. He patted Ke Qilong on the shoulder and said:

“Don’t cry, this battle is of great importance. Your Highness the Queen and your brother are the military supervisors. You fought well, and you are the glory of our army. The terrain is dangerous, so it’s not your fault. We will count the casualties later and report to the court for generous compensation…” Ke Qilong comforted the soldiers in front of him, his voice low and firm.

Looking at the knights who were taking a rest, Ke Qilong felt a pang of sadness in his heart. Almost all of these brave warriors were covered with scars, and their exhaustion and pain made Ke Qilong extremely worried.

Ke Qilong turned his head and said to the person beside him with emotion: "I have never met that commander, but as soon as she arrived in Southern Xinjiang, she defeated the mountain division that was said to have a million men with her thunderous force. She is really amazing!"

His tone was full of admiration and praise for the great commander. Not only that, the great commander also recovered the lost territory and pushed back so far, even leading the mountain division to flood the magic academy and ambush the coalition forces with fire. His use of troops was amazing.

"If he had not been forced to do so, the anti-rebel commander would not have retreated to the hillside to hold his ground. After all, the mountain division is at a disadvantage fighting against heavy cavalry on flat ground..." Ke Qilong analyzed the battle situation with a frown.

The general stood aside and nodded slightly to show his approval of these words. He continued:

"Indeed, her outstanding military achievements are obvious to all. If we are lucky enough to meet the Marshal, our army will definitely pay her the highest respects..."

Ke Qilong suppressed the grief of losing his brother and tried to cheer himself up. He stared at the front, anxiously waiting for the front army to capture the pass. Once the pass was breached, he planned to immediately ask the general to allocate some troops to supplement the vanguard camp.

The general was naturally aware of Ke Qilong's thoughts. He knew very well that the vanguard battalion had suffered heavy losses in this fierce battle and was on the verge of collapse.

Not only that, more than sixty officers above the rank of second lieutenant in the vanguard battalion were killed, and even seven generals died on the battlefield, causing the command system to be almost completely paralyzed, and even the most basic command structure was difficult to piece together.
