.    It is very unimaginable that a human being can resist the most ferocious monster in the world and fight evenly.  But the facts are before our eyes, and people cannot help but believe them.

    After Minotaros fell into a rage, the gap between the two people was reduced to close to zero.  Although slightly older, his physical strength has declined.  But what they get in exchange is richer experience and more proficient skills.  On the other hand, Arturia - in terms of strength, the crazy queen is comparable to the old Minotaur.  At the same time, skill and flexibility are slightly superior.

    It can be said that the two sides are evenly matched.  All have advantages and disadvantages.  The battle between the two brutal warriors reached a stalemate.  However, from the current point of view, the Minotaur still has the upper hand.  Because of its size and weapons, Arturia will be seriously injured if it hits an opponent once.  And for the same reason, even if Arturia hits the Minotaur many times, as long as it is not a vital point, the Minotaur can grit its teeth and persevere

    This unprecedented war has fallen into a stalemate.  Whether it is a comprehensive battle or a one-on-one battle between the Minotaur and Artoria.  All fell into a stalemate.  The Norman hussars had just fought a fierce battle and were resting.  It was also very difficult for the Celtic knights to take down the Roman [Wucang] cavalry on the opposite side.  As for the frontal battlefield.  Originally, it was true that the Celtic army had a slight advantage - but that advantage quickly disappeared because the Minotaur tore through the Norman line.

    around that gap.  The Celtic army and the Roman army fought desperately for a while.  Immediately afterwards, a one-on-one battle broke out between the generals of both sides.  The two soldiers were furious.  Completely disowned.  The strong wind created by swinging the battle ax and sword is strong enough to knock people down.  Not to mention what might happen if you get any closer.  So whether the Celtics wanted to close the gap or the Romans wanted to take advantage of the situation to strengthen their offense, they couldn't do it.  The next move can only be made after the battle between the two sides determines the winner.

    It can be imagined that no matter which side wins, their morale will be greatly improved.  The losing side must be frustrated - especially for the Celtics, because it is their queen who is fighting.  It can be said that the outcome of this one-on-one battle is enough to affect the overall trend of the battle.

    At this moment, Liliannu and the only remaining Roman reserve under her command, a total of 500 Roman guardsmen, entered the battlefield.  It seems a little bit tragic.  At the same time, it also feels a bit all-or-nothing.  This army, which carried the infinite glory of Rome, this millennium empire, charged towards a corner of the Norman super-long [wooden warehouse] phalanx¡ª¡ª

    ?Throw the target [Wucang] - then pull out your sword and charge.  Except for the increasingly enhanced equipment, everything is exactly the same as the heavy infantry of Rome in its heyday thousands of years ago.  It¡¯s both tradition.  Even more glorious.  These soldiers roared angrily, swung their sharp swords and stabbed at the joints of the Celtic soldiers' armor, the faces of the open-face helmets, and the necks.  And their queen, Liliannu, rushed to the front.  The red-dyed armor and bright red cloak are extremely dazzling.

    It¡¯s just that it¡¯s so dazzling that it¡¯s really a danger on the battlefield.  Those who know her know that she is the Empress of Rome, and those who don¡¯t know her know that she is probably a big shot.  So Huo [Mucang] Heavy Crossbow took extra care of her.  Fortunately, the soldiers around her risked their lives to block [Mucang] for her.  Otherwise, ten Lilian slaves would have died here

    However, as soon as the news came out that the Roman Empress would appear in person.  The morale of the Roman army was indeed greatly improved.  Although the reinforcements from the Royal Forest Army were smaller in number.  But it is indeed extremely elite.  Wielding a long sword and a large shield, he struck out repeatedly.  He actually quickly broke through the Celtic [Mucang] Formation!  Although they were subsequently surrounded by more Celtic troops, as the gap opened, more inspired Roman troops also began to take action.  Rushing toward the gap, the Celtic army was overwhelmed.

    After all, remove the knights and the Norman cavalry.  The strength of this phalanx is only 20,000 to 30,000.  At the beginning, being able to withstand four or five times the enemy's attack relied on the advantages of formation and long-range weapons.  However, now that the two armies are connected, the advantage of long-range weapons has been weakened.  As the Romans continued to attack, the ultra-long [Wooden Warehouse] array also became full of loopholes.  The advantage in formation has also been weakened

    Under such circumstances, the battle situation is changing bit by bit.  Lean in the direction of the Romans.  If it continues to develop, the final result of this battle should end with a tragic victory for the Romans.  The 40,000 Celtic and Norman troops have now killed more Roman troops than they did!

    "As long as I can win this victory, then I can stabilize my position and have a certain advantage in the confrontation with the Normans - but. Just a group of Celtic ethnic Norman troops"??So strong.  So to what extent has the real Norman army grown now?  !  "Seeing that her own army was gradually gaining the upper hand, Liliannu was secretly happy, but then, a problem that could not be ignored turned her slightly joyful mood into a bad one.

    Fighting against a Norman army that is only one-third of its own number and is of Celtic origin, it is necessary to go all out, and it can only result in a miserable victory.  Then wait until the main Norman army arrives.  Could the Roman army really fight against them and win?

    "Or after this war, return to Constantinople and stick to it? This seems to be a very good choice" Then Lilianu made this assumption: "After winning a victory, how many people will  At the same time, the tragic losses can also be used as a reason to hold on. In this way, the Norman invasion can be stopped with the strong wall of Constantinople. As long as this crisis is overcome, the empire will still  There¡¯s a lot to be done!¡±

    It¡¯s true, every time.  When the barbarians were strong, the Romans garrisoned Constantinople.  As long as Constantinople was not lost, there was hope for the empire.  Countless times, the empire lost large areas of territory, and even the so-called empire was left with only Constantinople - but in the end, these wars ended in Roman victory-

    Failure-retreat to Constantinople-barbarian siege cannot be broken-the troops are exhausted over time-counterattack-win.

    This cycle has been repeated countless times.  Arabs, Turks, Rus, Bulgarians, Magyars almost all enemies adjacent to the empire have experienced something like this.  This script with almost the same routine has been performed countless times.  And this is why Constantinople did not fall and protected the Eastern Roman Empire many times.  This has elevated the city from a mere settlement and fortification to a place of spiritual sustenance and even belief"

    However, when Liliannu was thinking excitedly like this - another thunder swordsman roared and slashed at her with his sword.  The barbaric Celtic soldiers were not in a good mood as sympathetic as the Norman emperor.  This blow aimed at Lilianu's head and chopped it off. If it hit, the dreaming Roman Empress would definitely have her head split into two halves!

    It¡¯s just that Liliannu is not as good as Egil, Artoliana and other immortal generals who can defeat thousands of people with one horse.  But he is also a rare warrior.  When I heard something was wrong, I wanted to run to the side - but this was not a one-on-one battle, but on the battlefield!  Next to her is a Yulin Army soldier.  There was absolutely no room for her to dodge!

    "Damn it! Damn it!!" Liliannu cursed secretly - before he could say it, the big sword had already been slashed down. Liliannu had to turn his head away, avoiding the fatal blow, and used his own instead.  The left shoulder received the blow - only a "dang" sound was heard, Liliannu's shoulder armor managed to withstand the attack - but the cotton armor lining could not completely absorb the opponent's full force.  The Queen's left shoulder was hit hard, and there was a sharp pain immediately, which made Liliannu's face become ferocious.

    While dodging, Liliannu also stretched out her hand and stabbed the opponent's neck with a sword. This was one of the few flaws of the Thunder Swordsman wearing full body plate armor!

    Like a poisonous snake spitting out a message, Lilianu succeeded with one move!  The short Roman-style blade pierced the target, then pulled sharply to the right and turned, cutting off a large piece of flesh.  Arterial blood gushes out like a fountain.  The target Thunder Swordsman immediately twitched and fell to the ground, falling into a dying state

    After that, Lilianu moved his left shoulder a little - although it was still in severe pain, he could still lift his arm.  In other words, Liliannu's worst fear did not happen - her bones were not broken.

    "Fortunately." The Roman Queen breathed a sigh of relief.  Then he put aside his distracting thoughts and continued to fight bravely on the battlefield.

    This stalemate lasted for about half an hour.  The Roman advantage continued to expand.  They eroded the left and right wings of the Celtic array, attacking from three sides in a semi-encirclement form.  It was almost impossible for the Celtic army to support itself!  If at this time, the Romans could detach another mobile force to bypass the battle zone and attack the Celts from behind.  So this war is probably coming to an end?  .  It's a pity that the Romans no longer have any reserve mobile troops.  The Empress of Rome, who was able to issue orders, was now fighting on the front line.  So this is just a "if" and a "what if".

    After this, the actions that can really change the situation of this battle began.  After a period of rest, nearly four thousand hussars once again launched an attack on the flank of the Roman army with the power of thunder and lightning!  !  .
