Lord of the Truth

Chapter 177 – Push!!

On the other side of the battle…

"Sam, Mahi, all of you… are you all ready? I have heard that the Burtons have very few saints and knights and that they were only an ordinary, Earl family a few years ago, technically speaking you should easily open that gap in the shield wall and reach their General headquarters

But in truth, We don't know the real strength of the Burton family! we can see now that they have 800 new knights, and maybe there are many saints hidden as well… I will not lie to you all, if the mission was executed as planned, a few of you might need to sacrifice their life." The general shouted at 20 individuals standing around him

"No need for this talk right now, Just give us orders, we will make our way towards their General above that hill and take his head no matter how many saints await us!" a saint hit himself proudly on the chest

The general nodded, " Alright, in ten seconds you can-… hmmm?" The General stopped his speech in the middle, "What is going on over there?"

The saints around him moved their eyes toward the battlefield as well, and expressions of joy began to appear on their faces, "Hahaha, excellent, as expected of our mighty men!!"

The battle  of the knights in the middle took an unexpected turn, a gap appeared on the left side between the Burton knights, and a few dozen Lying water knights slipped out of the battle using it and were now running towards the shield wall to complete their mission, and none of the Burton knights were free to chase them!

"Looks like the hole in the shield wall will be made without your intervention after all hahaha!" The general laughed out loud, loving what he sees, then started shouting, "ADVANCE! Keep the loose formation and move forward, don't let your knights' good work go in vain!!"

"YAAAAAAAA!!" A loud shout resounded from all of the nearly 270,000 soldiers as they began running again in the same divergent formation as before.

Upon hearing the shout, the Knights of Lying Water automatically began to leap towards the left, bringing with them the Knights of the Burton Family and the Darkness Legion, so the central area emptied once more for the massive army.

The difference this time was that the scene in front of the Lying Water infantry was not the same… 

The few dozen knights who had managed to escape had already reached the shield wall and were able to kill the heavy infantry and even the spear holders behind them… 

In the blink of an eye, a hall of more than 100 meters appeared in the middle of the wall!

"HEYAAAAAAAAAAAA! Glory to The Lying Water! Glory to the Duchy of Harris!!"

"Move! MOOOVE!!"

Seeing their knights wreaking havoc on the soldiers of the Burton family and the huge gap in front of them, made their blood boil from excitement, and started to accelerate even faster 

After they stormed that point, the talismans wouldn't be used freely as before because the Burton archers would be killing their own as well, a real battle would begin where the strongest and most experienced would win!

"Whoaaa, they are coming! get Back! Save your life!" The screams began to rise among the soldiers of the Burton family as they saw the coming crazed looking soldiers thrown the huge gap in the shield wall

The part of the army that was facing the gap in the shield wall began to morally and literally collapse rapidly and the soldiers retreated too quickly that they even began to step and trample over each other.

Seeing what was happening increased the Lying water soldiers' enthusiasm exponentially as they sped forward shouting, "To glory!!"

Because the gap was only about a hundred meters wide, the Lying water army began to automatically become closer to each other and the gaps between the soldiers returned to normal in the more advanced rows, 

seeing the new situation and how tightly the Lying Water formation has become, the Burton family's talismans arrows and landmines returned to work, with every explosion able to kill or seriously injure three to four individuals.

But this did not stop them.. 

The Infantries in the first rows kept running as if their life depended on it.. and it is. 

the explosion threat will all be greatly reduced when they arrive at the Burton army infantry front lines and the close combat begins, especially so for the closest to the fighting line!

that's why all of them kept ignoring the explosions and the body parts flying around and only focused on how to get to the frightened Burton's infantry first!

Not only that… when they kill those frightened infantry units they can keep running straight to climb that hill and kill the annoying archers and seize their armory of talismans!

"HHYAAAAAA!!"

The first few rows of the Lying Water soldiers crossed the gap in the shield wall and rushed at full speed towards the Burtons who were trying to flee backward in front of them, ignoring the soldiers that were still standing firmly on either side…

*SSSLAAAASH*

"Take this!"

"AAAHHHHH!!"

Like a hot knife in cheese, the incoming Lying Water soldiers attacked the undefended backs of the Burtons' army who were trying to escape… a bloodbath began 

and still, the Burtons facing the gap still trying to rush back towards the hill, not trying to defend themselves against the full assault that was reaping their lives!

" KEEP MOVING FORWARD!! it is in our hands, once we reach the top of that hill the battle will be over!" The assistant general responsibility of the infantry started shouting at the top of his voice, things are going much better than expected!

The 2000 Burton archers still rained down their arrows at the back rows of the Lying Water soldiers killing thousands with each wave, but that didn't stop them, they actually tried to accelerate their pace to reach an even deeper position inside the Burton army!

The death rate significantly dropped to those at the front lines as expected, the archers can't target his men who got close to the Burtons' army because they have almost been mixed up, and targeting them would kill the Burtons too.

those at the far sides after entering the gap began to attack the rest of the Burton soldiers that didn't fall back to also gain refuge from the arrows and may frighten those chickens too… but their hopes were shattered

the Burton Soldiers at the sides were all fierce, killing anyone trying to come near without taking a step back, those who tries to fight them found it no different from waiting for an arrow, they were both certain deaths

But thank the heavens that the cowardly Burton family soldiers that were in the middle made it too easy for them… so orders came to only keep the Burton family soldiers at the sides busy but to only continue pushing through the middle.

Even leaving aside the killing of the archers and seizing their arrows that would already mean the end of the battle, even without this point, after they have pierced them to the end and split the army in half their formations will be destroyed, then claiming the higher land that is the hill… they can come down from above and easily eliminate the rest!

"ADVANCE! PUSH! PUSH THOSE COWARDS!!"

After pushing the ranks of the cowardly Burton family soldiers for about 300 meters back, their speed of advance began to slow down noticeably

"What is going on ahead? why are we not moving anymore?!" shouted the assistant general of the infantry

"The soldiers of the Burton family held their positions and began to resist!"

"Hmph, they still have hope, hah? that no longer available!" The assistant general smiled, "Send more soldiers, push harder!! we must split them in half in the incoming 30 minutes at most!"

"Yes, commander!" The officer bowed and retreated to order a few more battalions to start jumping over their brothers' heads and move quickly to the front line

"To glory!!"

"Death to the Black Sun bastards!!"

another 15 minutes passed, more soldiers began to advance from the back rows to fill the gap their brothers has made and to jump on the retreating Burton family soldiers to quickly kill them and make them lose morales again, and with that, the Burton family soldiers that were behind the gap at the shield wall has retreated for another 200 meters

100 meters wide and 600 meters deep… 

More than one hundred and fifty thousand soldiers were crammed closely together, and the number is still increasing… pushing and trying to keep advancing towards the hill with all their might!

Explosive talisman arrows attacked their back rows, and a few arrows target their middle every now and then, but whoever dies was the one behind him trampling on his body and completing the push forward fiercely

The smiles of the generals and the Lying water saints became ear to ear, with great sacrifices victory became their sights!

"NOW!!"

With less than 50 meters remaining before they kill their way towards the hill, a loud voice echoed
