“Let’s gamble on it!”

“Let’s gamble….. That Hasting won’t fight us to the death!”

Adrick and that fat fellow, Ruhr, made their decision!

During the middle of the night, the soldiers who had only gotten a bit of rest were all readied for battle!

The cavalry tightened their saddles, polished their lances until they shone brightly and took down the feed bags attached to their heads. They then gently patted their beloved warhorses, before turning around to mount them.

In the middle of the night, the cavalrymen arranged themselves neatly in formation under the dignified and urging voice of their officers. Holding up their heads, they slowly advanced while moving in their assigned positions.

A wedge-formation assault was formed in the wilderness. At the front was the heavily armored cavalry centurion Saucier, their mission was to break through the besieging Odin army from the front. They must completely “pierce through” the enemy’s formation! Ruhr’s 6th Army was placed in the middle and the infantry had already lost most of their equipments. Only the outer layer of the infantry was equipped with weapons, armors and shields, the men in the middle were left with only a uniform and didn’t need to fight. The only thing they needed to do was run! Run as fast as they could! When the heavy cavalry broke through and opened up the Odin’s formation, they had to brave the risk of death while running across the entire frontline of the Odin army.

The rear was protected by the fourth legion of the 13th Cavalry Army! The fourth legion’s centurion was the 37 year old Fenatra, who was a typical Byzantine. He was born in a normal aristocratic family and joined the army in his youth. The medium ranked, level-six warrior only had three fingers left. Five years ago, he lost two of his fingers in the North-eastern Frontline of the empire during a war due to frostbite. The 37 year old Fenatra was given an important mission: Cover the rear!

Not only did he have to defend against the Odin army that would give them a farewell send off at their tails, he was also responsible for covering the main army when it attacked Hasting’s army and had to successfully protect the headquarter if the enemy decided to fight to the death!

When Adrick gave Fenatra the order, he had a serious expression on his face while he, in a low voice, said: “You will probably die.”

However, after listening to him, the 37 year Fenatra’s face remained calm and his resolution didn’t change in the slightest. He did not utter a single word and merely straightened his body in front of his general and saluted him, before turning around to walk away.

The attack will happened during the period before dawn and it was the time of day where people would be most tired as well as weak.

The assault army slowly marched through the wilderness towards their target: The besieged camp in front of them.

When the vanguard was less than three miles away from Hasting’s besieging army, a clear noise sounded that initiated the charge!!

The charging sound ripped through the silence of the dark night! Within the spirited sound of a trumpet, the cavalry furiously roared and maliciously kicked their horses, urging them forward in craze!
