Among the reeds in the Reach, 1,200 Mystras new troops, under the command of Godric, were divided into three lines. The left and right sides were covered by infantry, and he was responsible for covering the middle line.

He brought more than 300 cavalrymen on pack horses and mules. If someone like this

If you can look at this strange army from a distance, you will definitely laugh out loud. After all, their funny appearance will definitely make anyone laugh. The dignified Roman soldiers have mules and pack horses under their crotches, but now Godric and

None of the soldiers under his command were in this mood.

The future of everyone in the entire battle is in Godric's hands, and the soldiers of Mystras are waiting for his order.

"For Lord Justinian, attack!" Godric, whose palms were already covered with beads of sweat, pulled out the long sword from his waist and ordered the soldiers behind him, and then removed the heavily armored Mystras spearman.

, holding a kite shield, ran faster than a horse, and suddenly killed the unsuspecting Epirus from the reeds in a dense formation.

In the past, they were Justinian's most elite troops, coming from good families who were originally farmers in Mystras. After receiving Justinian's protection and owning their own land, they were Justinian's strongest support.

When they chose to leave their homes and come to fight, these brave soldiers put their life and death at risk.

The lightly armed soldiers quickly rushed from the muddy river bend to the enemy in front of them. The new army that waded across the river fought with the enemy as soon as they rushed out of the reeds. The Mystras soldiers on the left and right flanks were like extensions.

The arms firmly clamped the head and tail of the Epirus army, while the mule and horse cavalry in the middle were responsible for cutting off the long snake with the sword, giving the enemy the final blow.

"Charge with me!" Seeing that everything was ready, Godric pointed his sword directly and roared loudly. The mule and horse cavalry behind him were also ready and killed them together amidst the shouts.

Soon enough, the mules and horses that rushed out of the center rushed towards the Epirus right-wing camp, like a sharp knife piercing the opponent's heart. The Epirus general did not react at all.

When they were trying their best to organize the army to establish a defense line, they didn't expect that the other side would have a cavalry unit. Looking at the cavalry galloping out of the reeds, they were charging towards them on ponies and mules that were as tall as half a man. This scene

It made him feel funny and scary at the same time.

Damn it, what the hell is this?

"Array! Array!"

General Epirus roared heart-breakingly, telling his soldiers to quickly block the mules and horses that were about to approach, but little did he know that even if they were riding pack horses and mules, they were still cavalry, and when a large number of elites were being beaten,

In the case of transfer, at this time, we face the

Most of the Epirus right wing of the charging mule and horse cavalry were light infantry. They did not have any spears suitable to block the enemy's charge. Many of their weapons were only short swords and long bows, but they were unprepared now.

It was too late to draw the bow and arrow.

Watching more and more people pouring out of the reeds, tens or hundreds in number, with a bright flag hanging behind each rider, waving constantly, the eyes of the soldiers of Epirus were filled with fear.

, they don’t know the origins of this group of enemies who attacked them. Since the large troops were transferred away before, the Epirus troops stationed here are all second-line troops with no qualifications. They haven’t waited for Mystras yet.

When the soldiers arrived, some were already shaken.

At this time, there were faint shouts coming from the group of mules and horse cavalry——

"For Prince Theodore, charge!"

"The Bunonius family of Thessaly comes to help!"

The war cries one after another fell into the ears of the Epirus people, making them tremble with fear. What?! Could it be that Theodore is not dead yet? Agrinion has fallen? Why are the Thessalians coming too? All kinds of suspicions

This intensified the panic of the Epirus army. Gradually, some people fled without warning, and more and more soldiers lost their will to resist.

Seeing that their bluffing strategy was successful, the mules and horses led by Godric became even more motivated.

"Attack, defeat the remaining enemies with me!"

Godric, who was riding a pony, raised his arms and urged his mount to take the lead into Epirus's disintegrating front line. The short mules and horses rushed into the enemy's formation as if they were entering an uninhabited land. Mystras

The soldiers wielded a variety of weapons in their hands to harvest the defeated enemy, and soon completely defeated the opponent's remaining defensive formations.

Looking at this scene, Godric felt more excited than ever before. He turned the direction of the place where he was carrying the horse, and looking from a distance, he saw the Epirus general commanding the right wing in the center of the Epirus battle group.

He was anxiously ordering his soldiers not to retreat any further. His bright red cloak and blue-gold armor stood out among the crowd.

"Hurry up and guard it!"

"No one is allowed to take a step back!"

General Epirus, who was minding his own business, did not realize the danger at all, as he had been targeted by Godric.

As long as he is killed, the outcome of the war here will be determined. Godric thought to himself.

Immediately, the young officer put away his sword, and Godric took a spear from the rider beside him and clamped it into the horse's belly, intending to kill him. The galloping packhorse ran wildly in the mud of the river bend, kicking its hooves wildly.

Wherever they passed, the people of Epirus scattered and fled.

"Kill——" Godric's eyes widened with anger, and he thrust his gun straight.

By the time the general reacted, the spear in Godric's hand had already stabbed him in the chest, and he suddenly lifted it into the air. However, due to the poor quality of the spear, it broke in midair.

This scene was enough to frighten the courage of the people of Epirus. The defeated soldiers of Epirus who saw the retreat had no intention of fighting, so they threw down the body of their general and fled towards the mountain pass without a team.

…

…

…

On the river bend, the balance of war victory was completely turned upside down. With the complete defeat of the right wing of the Epirus army, panic quickly spread to other positions. Rumors spread from ten to ten, and more and more Epirus soldiers

Thinking that Theodore Ducas is not dead, reinforcements from Thessaly have already come to kill him

Even if the senior generals know that all this is a lie, how can they restrain the troops if their hearts are broken? The reserve team that was originally responsible for holding down the battle was transferred by Nicholas Ovania to protect him.

The unmotivated Epirus army fell into chaos like dominoes.

"Godric and the others have succeeded!" Justinian was excited as he watched the defeated enemies flee towards the Pindos Pass. Under his command, the shouts of pursuit from the Morians and Albanians could not be heard without stopping.
