Chapter 21: Battle against Egypt

Chapter 21:

Forbas was overjoyed to see that his troops could become so elite in one morning.

Just as he was about to thank Rhodes and Seeger, he suddenly saw a black line on the distant horizon.

Taking a closer look, the black line is still slowly getting bigger. Experience tells him that a huge army is coming.

It dawned on him that Rhodes had already predicted the army’s coming, so he had to train the army.

“Lord Rhodes!” He immediately ran to Rhodes who was still reviewing the troops under the city wall in a panic, “They are here, they are Egyptian troops!”

Rhodes patted him on the shoulder. “Don’t panic, everything is being calculated.”

While Phobbas was still in doubt, Sig still held his spear high and said loudly to the Athenian soldiers: “After a morning of training, now is the time to show your results!”

After a morning of training, the soldiers were exhausted, but their blood was boiling. They could feel the power of the formation taught by Sieg and could not wait to use it to inflict heavy damage on the enemy.

What definitely made their hearts bleed even more was that their family and friends had left them because of the plague, and this resentment was left in their hearts, causing them to explode with infinite power.

“For Athens!”

“For the lover!”

“for freedom!”

They raised their spears with a loud Roar, and walked out of the city gate neatly, slashing into regular arrays and waiting until the dark shadows in the distance on the horizon gradually approached.

On the city wall, thousands of archers were also ready, and the logistics troops around them transported bags of arrows and placed them beside the archers.

Under the scorching sun, the air became distorted, and the dark shadow was gradually approaching the distorted line of sight.

When he reached the distance where he could vaguely see the silhouette, Phobas couldn’t help swallowing nervously.

The number of opponents was more than he had predicted, roughly 30,000, while he only had 8,000 elite soldiers and 1,000 archers guarding the city.

Moreover, the opponent’s troops looked fierce and majestic, and they seemed to be the main elite troops of Egypt, while their own side was dominated by some soldiers who had just recovered, and some were even recruited recently.

The epidemic had emptied the city’s troops, and if it wasn’t for Rhodes’ treatment, this city would have to be handed over to others.

He was grateful to Rhodes for allowing him to fight, even if he died, on the battlefield, at least with the honor of a superior.

Rhodes and Sieg walked out of the city wall and stood in front of the army. The soldiers, who were still timid because of the difference in numbers, were relieved when they saw their backs.

Rhodes patted a shivering soldier, his hands freezing cold despite the scorching heat.

“Don’t be afraid, your mission is not to fight head-on, just protect yourself. Sir Sieg has taught you, right?”

“Hmm….hmm!” He swallowed, nodded, and his body gradually relaxed.

The army in the distance had blocked the horizon, and the figure stood in front of the crowd and began to rectify the array.

In front of them, the man on the white horse and the man on the red horse were particularly eye-catching, and they looked over from the side of the horse.

The plague stopped the horses and stared at the Athenian army. As an archer, his eyesight was much better than ordinary people.

“How is that possible? They all look healthy?” he asked in surprise.

The war, however, smiled disdainfully and said: “Just pretending to be, you see, there is an army of less than 10,000 people. As the capital of Greece, how can there be only so many people to defend here, just a group of patients who have not yet reached the end of their lives. That’s it.”

The plague narrowed his eyes suspiciously, and turned his horse to his army, “I think we’d better be careful.”

“Ha!” Zhan Zhan snorted coldly. He put the big sword on his shoulders and showed a ruffian smile, “No need, this is the army, and I don’t even have a role to play.”

As he spoke, he flicked his whip and drove the red horse under him toward the Egyptian army.

Although the plague had doubts in his heart, after all, the advantage of the number of people was here, so he also smiled slightly, as if mocking his own worries, and then followed the footsteps of the war and returned to the Egyptian army, preparing to watch the play with him in the back rest.

One of their scarred-faced commanders took over the command and shouted at the Athenian army with a high spear: “Promote the formation, attack!”

After speaking, the 30,000-strong army started to march towards the city of Athens. From a distance, the army whose face could not be seen clearly set off a cloud of smoke and dust fluttering behind them.

Plague and war stood behind them, and although they had weapons in their hands, they did not intend to join the battle.

Rhodes At the moment returned to the city wall and handed over the command of the front to Sieg, who fired a solar fireball into the sky.

The flames burst open, inconspicuous in the sun’s light, and unnoticed by the Egyptian army.

“Everyone!” Sig shouted, raising his spear, “Swallowtail formation!”

The soldiers immediately obeyed the order, and they cut into two flanks, and the horns intersected together, like the tail of a swallow.

The Egyptian army has come to the distance where they are about to face each other. The people on both sides looked at each other, venting the endless anger in their eyes, and the bloody killing intent filled the air.

The frenzied bloody atmosphere on the battlefield made everyone clench their weapons tightly, and their eyes were bloodshot.

“Kill ah ah!!” The Egyptian soldier let out a loud roar, put the shield in front of him, raised his spear, and then started to charge the soldiers in Athens at close range. *
