Chapter 221 - 146: Conquering Two Fortresses in a Row
Cabdes felt a bit uneasy. Now, he only hoped that the warriors in the village had seen the banners they raised, heard the blaring horns, understood their arrival, and started preparing...
The village walls were already empty. Wallis must have gathered all the warriors in the village, ready to launch an attack at any moment... Cabdes stared forward, his confidence surging again: when it comes to battle, Wallis is indeed reliable!
When the two sides were less than 100 meters apart, "Woo!... Woo!... Woo!..." The sharp sound of copper horns suddenly echoed. The enemies standing still ahead roared in unison and charged toward Cabdes’s side, their momentum as imposing as a mountain collapse he’d once witnessed.
"Blow the attack horn! Let the men charge!" Cabdes shouted urgently.
Before the horn could blow, the front-line Pannonian heavy warriors clad in armor had already started their charge, driving the light infantry behind them forward...
The soldiers on both sides slammed into each other with ferocity while running at high speed.
"Leader, quick! Look behind us!" A guard’s terrified voice made Cabdes, who had been watching the battle intently, turn around to see a chilling sight: hundreds of fully armed enemy soldiers burst out from the forest by the riverbend side, gathering near the riverside behind his troops...
I’ve fallen into an ambush! Cabdes’s heart sank to the depths. If not for a guard supporting him in time, his dazed state might have caused him to fall off his horse.
"Blow... blow the attack horn again!" His face pale, he gripped the reins tightly with both hands, his wide-open eyes staring through the battling soldiers of both sides toward the village ahead. His only hope was for Wallis to lead the army out quickly and crush the enemies in front!
