Chapter 304 - 301 -
"And the Iron Cavalry?"
Elheat asked, almost with anticipation.
He had commanded the elite force for months now, and the prospect of a major campaign, especially after being sidelined in the Greecian and Ramie conflicts, clearly thrilled him.
Julius’s gaze swept across the room, settling on Elheat.
"The Iron Legions will be split,"
he announced, his voice carrying the weight of command.
"Half will join the main force heading to the Germanic battle lines in Achae. They will serve as our hammer, crushing any resistance and providing crucial support to our Germanic allies whose own invasion has been stunted due to Francian involvement no doubt."
Elheat nodded, a grim satisfaction settling on his face.
He would finally have his chance to unleash the full might of his cavalry showcasing how much they had grown since Julius first unleashed then years ago during the fall of Lunan.
Julius continued, his gaze shifting back to the map.
"The remaining ten thousand, however, will form the tip of our spear. They will be the vanguard of our force, striking ahead of the main army, disrupting enemy formations if they encounter them. Their mission is to establish the defensive line before the main army even arrives, creating a path for our legions to advance with overwhelming force, before striking out to cut a deep gash into the enemy as they settle in to expect us to defend instead coming out to attack them."
Elheat’s eyes gleamed.
