Countless mines and mine shafts were seized and used to smelt ore and cast weapons.

All the horses, donkeys and merchant ships were looted.

Countless villages and towns were turned into rubble by blood, with men forced to work as soldiers and women forced to become camp wives.

Armies with different banners rushed back and forth, disheveled old men, weak women, and children wept and wailed, mercenaries slaughtered wantonly with hideous grins, and the blazing fires raged for three months...

They don't care about your identity. Even Governor Jhelea's daughter and two sons disappeared quietly, and it is still unknown whether they are dead or alive.

The same is true for other city-states—

The unlucky, careless, and those who fail to close the city gates tightly may even be razed to the ground.

In addition, they had to offer large sums of money as gifts - this caused many people to lose their fortunes and even their families.

Horse riding!

These so-called Crusaders are even more barbaric than barbarians.

Compared to them, the Khitan Caesar was a saint - as long as I knelt down quickly enough, the scimitar wouldn't be able to hit my head.

Therefore, when they heard that Shu Yichao was attacking Milan, they immediately sent envoys to inquire about the situation and see if it was true.

Soon, Jhelea and their allies received exciting news.

The royal army has arrived!

Set things right today!

So what are you waiting for? Hurry up and prepare food and drink to welcome the royal army!

As for not being able to win?

joke--

Shu Yichao could be anything, except a human.

"The great Basilisa."

They said with deep fear, "Please convey to the great Caesar this humble admiration and respect from his humble vassals."

The Relayans collected the supplies under the coercion of the coalition forces and presented them to Shu Yichao, and also brought a large number of precious jewels and rare antiques.

In addition, they also organized their own fleet and expressed their willingness to obey Shu Yichao's orders at any time.

If Shu Yichao wanted to launch a surprise attack on the Eternal City by sea like he did last time, they would be at his service at any time.

"Oh." Shu Yichao nodded after listening to Sophia.

"There's another free boat to take, right?"

"But this time there's no need—"

"I'm going to fight my way through!"

There are so many red dots on the land, it makes people want to touch them.

It's all mine!

"Yo--"

"Whose force is this? They actually approached me on their own initiative?"

Shu Yichao was overjoyed.

"Brothers, get ready to go!"

"Come with me and get your head!"

----------

"His Majesty!"

"Urgent report!

When King Charles led his army across the Po River and headed towards Milan, he soon received new news and more defeated soldiers.

Then, King Charles, the Elector, and a large number of nobles and knights discovered that things were not quite as they had imagined.

They originally thought that after Shu Yichao defeated the troops of the Grand Duke of Milan and the Plantagenet Kingdom, he should now be besieging the city of Milan.

They had to rush over before Julia's people could react.

Then have a spectacular knight duel with the so-called Whip of God.

result……

The city of Milan was breached?

The Duke of Milan was killed in battle?

Were the other nobles and knights also annihilated in large numbers?

Immediately afterwards, Shu Yichao attacked Julia's army and defeated it as well?

By this calculation, at least 100,000 Crusaders were lost.

Are the Khitans so fierce?

King Charles frowned.

He began to doubt whether he had made the wrong choice...

Perhaps, stationing on the other side of the Po River and blocking the Khitans' way south is the right choice?

But when he thought of his 80,000-strong army, he felt a surge of pride in his heart.

Eighty thousand troops!

A total of 80,000 troops!

There are very few European monarchs who can lead such a terrifying army.

If such a powerful army were to retreat before a Khitan army of only two or three thousand men—

Not to mention the issue of face, the knights under his command would definitely not agree.

"Keep moving!" he ordered his soldiers.

"Send a letter of war to Caesar of Khitan."

"Just say——"

"The great king of Iris will lead the entire holy war army blessed by the Lord to compete with him in a fair and square battle!"

King Charles's declaration of war was ultimately not delivered.

Because Shu Yichao had already come to the door.

The end of the horizon.

A bloody double-headed eagle soared over.

Beneath it, there was a shimmering silver thread.

Chapter 99 - Unauthorized Charge

"coming."

King Charles rode his horse to a high place and looked out at the raging torrent in the distance.

"Ironclad Paladin."

“It’s intimidating at first glance.”

"As expected, they almost defeated an elite force of 100,000 men."

Regardless of their combat effectiveness, wrapping both people and horses in thick metal armor will definitely look very intimidating.

Strong enemy!

An absolutely powerful enemy!

When the Eastern Norma Empire was at its peak, it only had a few hundred armored cavalrymen.

However, the Khitan's armored cavalry now numbered two to three thousand!

"Your Majesty!" the knights beside King Charles said solemnly.

"Please don't worry!"

"The Knights of Iris will never lose to the Armored Paladins!"

That’s right, although they have never seen how powerful the Khitan’s armored cavalry are.

But isn’t that a coincidence?

There were similar armored cavalry in Norman history.

It is estimated that the strength of both sides is about the same.

The Ironclad Paladins are indeed famous and have made immortal contributions in many battles.

But they have also lost battles.

The Battle of Manzikert was lost to the Turkic light cavalry.

Dyrrhaum would be defeated by the Norman knights.

These two battles resulted in the complete loss of Norma's armored cavalry - from then on, Norma could no longer afford to form such expensive and elite cavalry.

Unfortunately, the Knights of Iris were just as skilled at charging with their lances as the Norman Knights.

What's more, the heavy cavalry of Iris dominated the European continent. When they wore shiny plate armor and held heavy lances, they were no less handsome and handsome than the Iron Pagoda.

Can fight!

Dare to fight!

And you can win!

"Very good." King Charles nodded with a smile.

"Let's prepare to show the Khitans what a true knight is!"

The Po River Alliance, like other coalitions, was commanded by separate commanders.

In general, the center army is currently the Fleur-de-lis Army under King Charles, the left wing is some heavy infantry and mercenaries of the Elector, and the right wing is a motley army of some small countries and city-states.

Nearly.

The torrent of steel is getting closer.

“Yoho——”

Shu Yichao glanced at the map and then at the flag.

"There seems to be a magic demon in front?"

"It seems that today's battle is more comfortable than the previous two."

There were no messy chevaux de frise, trenches, cannons or crossbows, just a head-on confrontation.

So what are you waiting for?

"Target enemy formation, full force attack!"

Shu Yichao gave the order and the entire army charged forward—

"Brothers, rush with me!"

Since he was a magic demon, Shu Yichao didn't even bother to use the jewel bow. He directly picked up the red tassel lance and rushed towards the enemy camp.

The sharp claws of the bloody double-headed eagle suddenly fell!

"Lord." King Charles was standing on a high ground, stroking his beard, and had pulled out several strands of his beard.

"The Khitan Caesar, just like that..."

As the commander-in-chief, he actually rushed to the front of the vanguard! ?

Even though he thought this behavior was stupid, he had to admit that it was quite appropriate for this era.

Heroic plot.

Warriors, if you are not at the front, where are you going?
