Tome of Blood

   Until many years later, Charlotte still clearly remembered the first battle she personally participated in today after crossing.

   Or more accurately, remember this knight's charge in the sun.

  Accompanied by the low sound of horns, more than 4,000 armored knights lined up in a cone-shaped array and rushed towards the rebel cavalry that was several times their own.

  The golden sun shone on the earth, shining on the shiny armor of the knights, reflecting brilliant brilliance.

   No, that's not reflected sunlight.

   That's the armored cavalry themselves shining.

  I saw the complex patterns inlaid with magic crystals on the bodies of the Boulder standing cavalry belonging to the Earl of Tulip suddenly lit up, shining brightly, and the light between them quickly connected.

   In the blink of an eye, the 1,500 Boulder standing cavalry distributed in the cavalry formation "weaved" a pale silver light net.

  The light net is like a cone-shaped arrow, covering the entire cavalry array, and when the brilliance spreads to those northern nobles who are also heavily armed, it becomes even more dazzling as if they were further charged.

Immediately afterwards, Charlotte saw illusory armors and weapons transformed from the net of light, attached to the knights and horses. The armors on their bodies seemed to melt into the light in an instant, becoming more and more brilliant eye-catching.

  At this moment, Charlotte was surprised to find that the auras of all the charging cavalry began to rapidly improve and merge...

   Those extraordinary auras that she could clearly identify individuals with the keen perception of the vampire disappeared quickly.

   Instead, there is a new, thick, unified extraordinary atmosphere!

  The extraordinary power of these cavalrymen... actually achieved a certain sense of integration, and at this moment they turned into a new whole!

  In Charlotte's perception, these knights seemed to be integrated into one, condensing into a more powerful extraordinary force.

  The charging cone array is like a huge sword of light.

   Not only that, but as more and more knights join in, the aura of the "Sword of Light" becomes stronger...

  In a blink of an eye, almost all the knights who formed the formation had reached the level of beginners!

   But this is not the end.

  After crossing the ranks, the connected extraordinary aura was further enhanced, and soon reached a height that even moved Charlotte.

  A more eye-catching light bloomed on the cone-shaped array, and Charlotte saw a silver-gray light spreading from the cavalry, quickly enveloping the entire army formation.

   That is the source of external release!

   And the source power is released, which is the symbol of the second level of Yinyue!

  Silver Moon…

  The auras of these charging knights all reached Silver Moon!

  Although the aura is vain and uncertain, although it is not enough to bring a sense of danger to a real silver moon like Charlotte, it has greatly surpassed ordinary stars...

   Seeing the shining array of cavalry rushing towards him, the main force of the rebel army fell into chaos instantly.

  Evidently there was no battle yet, but Charlotte could clearly see that the highly mobile hussars chose to retreat almost instantly, all of them began to slow down and turn around.

   But, it was too late.

  After the source of brilliance spread, the speed of the charging knight formation became faster.

  Even though they were wearing heavy armor, their speed even surpassed that of the northern hussars, who have always been famous for their mobility!

  On the empty riverside plain, the cavalry array shrouded in brilliance seemed to turn into a huge silver battle axe, smashing into the main force of the cavalry of the rebel army.

   There are no skills, no tactics.

   Just like that, he rushed straight up.

  With superb eyesight, Charlotte clearly saw that the front rebel cavalry were easily torn apart the moment they touched the cavalry array.

   That was literally torn apart.

  It was as if they were made of pieces of paper, including men, horses, and chain mail, all of which were smashed into pieces, bursting into blood mist...

  Obviously they are also cavalry, and obviously the leader of the team is also a knight in armor, but at this moment, the elite main force of the Legolis family is as vulnerable as an egg hitting a rock.

   Groups of blood mist exploded on the battlefield, and the radiant cavalry array easily tore apart the formation of the main force of the rebel army, launching a one-sided massacre!

  Rolling…

   Naked crushing!

  The **** mist spread on the battlefield. It was the blood mist erupted by the rebel cavalry who were smashed by the cavalry array, and spread rapidly as the cavalry array charged.

  Witnessing such a terrifying scene, the morale of the main force of the rebel army collapsed almost instantly, and Charlotte clearly saw that the tens of thousands of cavalry fell into panic and confusion in a blink of an eye.

   And then... a one-sided defeat.

  Charlotte could see that the nobles in the rebel army were still shouting desperately to maintain the array, but it was irreparable.

  After witnessing the terrifying power of the cavalry array, the charging rebels had completely lost their will to fight and began to flee.

   And those nobles who tried to save the battle were quickly overwhelmed by the cavalry array rushing in front of them, and disappeared in a radiance...

  The low-pitched horn sounded again, and the sound of galloping horseshoes resounded through the sky.

  Among the brilliance, the conical cavalry array changed again and gradually began to spread out.

   Gradually, they formed three lines of geese flying in a straight line from the cone of light, like a lion chasing its prey, and began to hunt down the rebel cavalry.

   After they dispersed, the radiance on their bodies decreased slightly, but they still maintained an overwhelming momentum.

  Blessed by the light, their speed far exceeding that of ordinary cavalry became a nightmare for the rebels, and their repeated charges turned into a one-sided massacre.

  On the hill, Charlotte was completely stunned.

After seeing that the main force of the cavalry of the rebel army exceeded the expected number, she imagined that her cavalry might be in a tough fight, and she also imagined that the infantry who were attacking the city might suffer heavy losses, but she never thought that this would be the result .

   It was as if the cavalry that had multiplied several times was just a pile of meaningless numbers. She never expected that the cavalry array with the Tulip regular cavalry as the main force would explode with such terrifying power!

   "Magic Energy Array... This is the power of the Magic Energy Array!"

   "God Lord... It turns out that Tulip's standing cavalry can also form a magic array!"

   An exhilarated, amazed and trembling voice came from the side, it was Baron Angus who was also standing on the hill.

  Charlotte turned around, only to see that the experienced commander was no less shocked than himself.

   There was even a bit of fear in his widened eyes, as if he hadn't expected that the cavalry team united with Tulip's standing troops would burst out with such terrifying power.

  Magic energy array?

   Is this the magic energy array that Sebastian mentioned?

  Charlotte couldn't help looking at the battlefield, looking at the cavalry who looked like full-level players entering Novice Village, and felt that her perception of war in this world seemed to be subverted in an instant:

   "The magic energy array...is it so powerful?"

   "No... my lord, although the regular magic array is powerful, I'm afraid it won't have such a terrible effect..."

   Baron Angus replied.

  He couldn't help but glanced at the horrible battlefield again, and pondered:

   "I think, on the one hand, it's because we face too few extraordinary people from the Legolis family, and on the other hand, I'm afraid it's because many nobles and knights from Castel have also joined the formation..."

   "The effect of the magic energy array is improved with the strength of the joiners. As advanced users, they become part of the magic energy array, which naturally further enhances the power."

   "Just...just..."

   "It's just their promotion, it seems a bit too big?"

   Charlotte continued.

   Baron Angus nodded awkwardly:

   "Yes, I have never commanded the battle of the magic array, nor did I expect that after joining the ranker, the magic array would become so terrifying..."

   There is no suspense in the next battle.

   In the face of the powerful array of magic energy, the number of cavalry of the rebel army is meaningless.

  Those rebel cavalry surrounded by cavalry formations, the fate of only two left—

  Or, be crushed under the pursuit of the cavalry array.

   Either, choose surrender.

   With speed and strength suppressed, escaping has become futile.

   Except for those cavalry who were farther away and had better luck, more rebel cavalry could not escape at all.

  As the last rebel noble who rushed forward was overwhelmed by the cavalry array, the remaining rebels also completely lost their fighting spirit.

The encircled rebel cavalry put down their weapons one after another and stopped resisting. Even the conscripts in the camp who were obviously used as bait by the rebels also followed the deafening "Drop your arms, you can save your life" speech of the Castel coalition army. Amidst the shouts, one after another chose to surrender...

  From the time the cavalry array launched a charge to the time when the rebels were defeated and they chose to surrender, it took only more than 20 minutes.

   And the infantry of the tulip collar hidden in the coalition army was standing, and they didn't even have time to make a move.

  The brilliance of the magic array gradually dissipated, and the cavalry array returned to normal.

  Charlotte, standing on the hill, saw that after the radiance dissipated, many standing cavalry seemed to lose all their strength and fell off their horses, and even some war horses fell to the ground one after another.

  However, the surrendered rebel army has been initially controlled, and it did not cause too much confusion.

   Seeing this scene, Charlotte probably realized that the magic energy array should have a price.

   "Go, go and have a look."

   She ordered Sebastian and Baron Angus.

  …

  The battle was over, Castel's flag was planted on the camp, and the rebels who surrendered were dejected and guarded by soldiers.

  Charlotte passed by on horseback, and what she saw were not strong warriors, but mostly ordinary people with terrified and dazed expressions.

   Think about it too, most of these rebels are conscripts, they are soldiers when they take up weapons, and farmers when they put down their weapons.

   The cavalry of the rebel army is the elite, but after being consumed by the charge of the cavalry array, the rest have become prisoners.

  The hussars in the north reacted faster and ran a lot. Of course... more were captured.

  Charlotte came to the cavalry forming the magic array.

  After finishing the formation, most of these cavalrymen were exhausted and were sitting aside to rest.

   The nobles who participated in the charge also looked exhausted, but most of them were senior extraordinary people, and many of them had entered the ranks. They seemed to be in much better condition than those standing cavalry.

Charlotte soon saw Earl Gaston. The Earl whom she had taken as a blood servant also looked very exhausted, his face was very pale, but his complexion was much better than other nobles, and he was directing Soldiers count the prisoners.

  After seeing Charlotte, he stopped, and bowed to her in a subtle way:

   "His Excellency the Earl of Castel."

  Charlotte nodded slightly, and glanced at the exhausted standing knights:

   "Are they... all okay?"

"It's just overdrawn strength, just rest and rest, but... don't let them participate in the battle for at least half a month, and the magic inscriptions have also been damaged a lot. If you need to repair and replenish the magic crystals, if you want to regain your combat power ...It will take about twenty days."

   Earl Gaston said.

  The last time the battlefield had to rest for 20 days...

  Charlotte nodded secretly.

  Being able to display such a powerful force must have corresponding restrictions, but... Even if you need to rest for 20 days once you use it, this magic energy array is abnormal enough.

  Such a powerful standing...she must also be formed!

   I have to say that after seeing this crushing cavalry charge, Charlotte was inevitably moved.

   "Thank you for your hard work, please take a good rest, and leave the cleaning of the battlefield to the coalition forces."

   Charlotte said.

  …

  The battle ended in less than half a day.

  However, the time to clean up the battlefield will take even longer than the battle.

   It was not until the evening of the next day that the coalition forces initially settled the results of the battle.

  In this battle, the coalition forces wiped out about 6,000 rebels, including 2,000 conscripts and 4,000 cavalry.

  In addition, about 3,000 conscripts and nearly 4,000 cavalry chose to surrender, including the Legris family with less than 800 cavalry left after the charge, and more than 3,000 northern hussars.

   Captured about 6,000 war horses and countless armor and equipment.

   In addition, more than 30 nobles were captured, several of them were seniors, including a noble from the Northern Grand Duchy.

   The rebels who escaped by chance are estimated to be 3,000 people, most of whom are Isaac hussars from the northern border. As for the main army assembled by the Legris family... It can be said that after World War I, the entire army has been wiped out.

  The result is similar to what Charlotte imagined, but the process is completely different.

   And in this process, the powerful combat power displayed by the extraordinary standing equipment completely overturned her cognition.

  The magic energy array is really a BUG-like existence, and it can be called crushing in an earl-level war...

  Charlotte finally knows why those powerful duchies and kingdoms are willing to spend huge sums of money to raise extraordinary standing equipment.
