The emergence of the Danish raid cavalry meant that the army led by Danish King Banuk arrived in Schleisug. In the morning of the next day, Duke of Mason Eble immediately ordered the knights to start wearing armor and ready to go, and the servants were also wearing leather armor and small round shields to join the war. In order to save strength, the knights placed heavy armor on pack horses and were taken care of by their servants. In addition to the precious war horses of the knights themselves, they usually had two or three horses for daily use for the knights to use and for the servants. {...

Sir Will Adolf wore a chain mail in his tent with the help of his servants. His chain mail was placed to the length of his thighs. He also wore a leather vest outside the chain mail, which was inlaid with thorns and iron sheets. Sir Will Adolf wore a long-eared hood filled with cloth with wool, but this was by no means a real helmet for defense. After wearing the hood, he put a bottle-style helmet on his head and put on his armor, Sir Will Adolf turned into a fully armed knight like a steel monster.

"Sir Will." While Sir Will Adolf was wearing his armor, Earl Lauzits' general unveiled the curtain of the tent and walked in. Seeing the general walking in Will Adolf waved his hand to let his servant go out. He continued to organize his leather straps. The knight must wear the armor on his body before the war, otherwise it might become the cause of his death.

"Today is a good day, isn't it?" Earl Lauzits' general stood at the curtain, and the sun shone in through the gaps in the curtain. However, Sir Will Adolf knew that what he was talking about was not the weather.

"Don't worry, I will abide by the agreement between us. At the same time, I hope your master, Earl Lauziz, will not forget your promise." Sir Will Adolf said in a muffled voice in his helmet and held his ancestral sword in his hand. The knights loved his sword very much. Many sharp swords were used as treasures of family history. Unless they were used in such a destructive way, they would not be rebuilt.

"Of course, Count Lauziz will protect you." Earl Lauziz's general promised immediately.

"I did this not for personal grudges. Duke Eble destroyed the tradition of nobles. He actually promoted a nouveau riche to the status of the Count. He also married the noble princess to him. In my opinion, the peasants of the country bumpkins are no different from the peasants, and the blood of the Hermanns has been defiled." Sir Will Adolf said with strong dissatisfaction.

"My master, Earl Lauziz and I fully agree with your point of view. The success or failure of the respected sir is today. Remember our plan." Earl Lauziz's general said that, and left General Will Adolf's tent. General Will Adolf held his sword from generation to generation. He suddenly pulled out half of the sharp sword exposed with the scabbard, as if he was emitting bloody murderous aura spreading in the tent.

"The Knights of Plaunn are armed immediately and gather to wait for the Count's orders." The messengers of Count Plaunn outside the tent conveyed Count Plaunn's orders in the camp. Suddenly, the neighing of war horses and friction between armor and weapons sounded in Count Plaunn's camp. Sir Will Adolf uncovered the curtain of his tent and walked out. He saw the irritable war horse being held tightly by his servants, but the unruly war horse kept erecting two front legs, revealing its white teeth, and the mouth sprayed everywhere. The servant had to control it with both hands.

"Felipe is quiet. Today is a good day. We should use our strength to the battlefield." Will Adolf reached out and grabbed the reins and said softly to his close companion's ears. The irritable war horse was quiet when he saw his master's arrival. The knight's war horse was definitely not ordinary horses. They were not only stronger and more aggressive, but also more fierce.

"The Vikings are here, the knights speed up, and your counts ask to gather together as soon as possible." At this moment, a low sound of horns came from the forest in the direction of Schlesgowburg. A large number of Viking warriors lined up in a tight formation. They slowly walked out of the forest with round shields and battle axes in their hands and came to the plains below the hills where the Masons team was stationed.

"We are below, your majesty." Kraze saw from the forest that the Masons had occupied all the good terrain. If they wanted to attack, they could only take the risk of attacking. At the beginning, Craze disagreed with the initiative to attack the Masons' camp, but the King of Denmark could not withstand the request of the vassals. They did not want to be dragged in Schleithug for the whole summer, so that no one would take care of their land. The ordinary Viking warriors were not used to watching the enemy do evil in their homes, but they did nothing, which made them the laughing stock of other tribes.

"It doesn't matter. When we attack below the gentle slope, they will definitely fight." Danish king Banuk was wearing a armor woven with iron rings and leather straps. The leather armed straps around Banuk's waist were tightly tied, and a sharp battle axe was pinned at his waist. The Vikings were a nation with heavy infantry as the main body, and they were very confident about their shield walls.

"This kind of gentle slope is difficult for us. Although I am not afraid of death, I cannot die under a crossbow without even killing an enemy." Ronald, the captain of the Swedish raid cavalry, also walked between the King of Denmark and Claze. During the reconnaissance, he saw the defense line of the crossbowmen of the German Mercenary Group. They were distributed in the gentle slope area. If I attacked upward, the cavalry's charge advantage would be lost, but there was no other way to pass between the dense forest and the swamp.

"I have an idea." Kraze thought for a while, and the Viking mercenary colonel had an idea about Danish king Banuk. After hearing Kraze's idea, the Danish king immediately adopted it.

In the middle of midsummer, the army from the Principal of Mason and the two powerful brigades of Vikings led by the King of Denmark launched a fierce battle in this area at the junction of hills and plains. The army of the Principal of Mason took a geographical advantage. They relied on the hilly highlands and gentle slopes to adopt a defensive posture. The Vikings first invested a unit of 500, led by Claze to enter the battlefield.

"God Odin blesses us." Kraze wore a nose-protecting iron helmet. He held the battle axe and the round shield and walked side by side with the five hundred Viking warriors. They were arranged in loose formations at the beginning, like walking casually on this battlefield, stepping on the weeds under their feet making rustling sounds.

"What do these Vikings want to do?" Duke Eble rode on his horse and looked at the five hundred Viking warriors walking out of the forest. He felt very surprised why the enemy did not launch a full-army raid, but sent out a unit of five hundred. Although the combat power of the Viking warriors was generally stronger than that of the Masons, five hundred and four thousand seemed a bit too arrogant.

"They must be testing us. Lord Duke, I suggest keeping the troops and letting the archers deal with these Viking warriors." General Relf suggested to Duke Eble.

"That's exactly what I thought." Duke Eble nodded on his horse. He felt that this was a safe and feasible solution, so he immediately conveyed the order to his vassals.

Duke Eble's order was also transmitted to the German mercenary group at the same time. Arod certainly would not have any objection after receiving the order. He originally planned to use defensive strategies to deal with the attacks of the Vikings, so the Mason team divided into square formations led by various counts to guard the hills. However, the archers in each count's army were dispatched to the front, but the Vikings seemed to be completely ignored and continued to approach under the leadership of Claze.

"Arrower preparation~~~." Earl Plaun, surrounded by his inner-domed knights, stared at the approaching Viking warriors. His position was at the forefront and would be attacked by the first wave of Viking warriors. When he saw that the Viking warriors were four hundred yards away from him, he immediately ordered the archers to prepare for shooting.

The archers of Count Plaun's army were civilians in the territory, but as civilians with a bow, they had the right to beat several rabbits in the Count's territory, which was the reward for serving the Count's military service. With the emergence of the flag indicating the archer's army, forty archers in Count Plaun's army immediately arranged in two rows. They placed arrows on the bowstring and inserted several arrows under their feet.

"Crack~~~." A sour bowstring sound came out. Earl Plaun's archery team pulled the bowstring and raised the bow in his hand forty-five degrees to aim at the direction of the Viking warriors. They were waiting for the orders of the nobles, and soon followed the orders of the Count Plaun's 45 arrows flew into the sky.

"Arrow, shield~~~." Kraze saw the arrows flying out of the Masons' army in front and immediately warned the people around him loudly. The Viking warriors immediately stopped and squatted down to cover the round shield on their heads, so that the chance of being shot was reduced.
