But in fact, it was also a real battle with real guns and swords.
Tomyris's inner conflict.
It has to be resolved through a battle like this.
She was the princess of the Kingdom of Scythia, and she couldn't just sit there and watch the Kingdom of Scythia, but she also knew that the Kingdom of Scythia couldn't fight the Byzantine Kingdom. In this chaotic world, if the Scythians could integrate into the Byzantine Kingdom, it would be beneficial to both sides. So, since there was no way to resolve this conflict, she might as well just have a hearty fight.
The battle is over.
All conflicts will be resolved.
Losing to Hilde means that Tomyris does not have the strength to protect the Kingdom of Scythia.
Naturally, she will let go of her obsession.
Therefore, Hield still respects this opponent very much.
"But speaking of which..."
Xerxes looked at the grassland ahead and couldn't help wondering, "If Tomyris came to you, what would you do?"
"What to do? What can be done?"
Hilde didn't quite understand.
Xerxes smiled evilly and said, "Tomyris is very cute, why don't you take her?"
"...You, please stop talking nonsense."
"Really? Think about it. That's a girl possessed by a wolf. She has pointed animal ears and a furry brown tail. She's full of wild beauty, isn't she?"
"Yeah, but I really can't."
Hilde sighed.
"You and Sophia are enough."
"Really?"
"Of course!"
Xerxes stared at Hilde's face.
But now, Hilde's expression is really very upright.
There is no problem.
So Xerxes could only smile bitterly and said, "Well, I was just overthinking it."
"Besides, didn't her reaction that day show that Tomyris is a very simple girl?"
"Tsk, no matter how innocent a woman is, she will definitely surrender once she has tasted you, Xixi."
Hearing Xerxes's ridicule.
Hilde couldn't help it and grabbed Xerxes' braid.
Then he pulled her head to his side and said, "I'm telling you, if you keep talking nonsense, I won't touch you until you return to Persia. Do you understand?"
"That's too much."
Xerxes rubbed the roots of his hair.
"You know how to bully me."
"Who is bullying whom?"
Hilde really didn't know what to say about Xerxes's behavior.
However, this is also Xerxes' normal appearance.
Hilde was used to it.
Now, although Hilde is heading to the battlefield, he is still quite calm in his heart.
After the Apollo issue was resolved, the biggest stone in Hilde's heart fell to the ground, and the problems that might be faced next were no longer a problem for Hilde.
Hilde, now you can really relax.
But there are a lot of problems now.
Fortunately, there is no major crisis.
Hild's troops marched northwards, and according to the predetermined formation, they headed for the troop's meeting point. While Hild's cavalry corps was advancing, the First Corps led by Amyntas had already entered the territory of the Getes. Although the Getes were very tenacious in resisting the Thracian attack, they were almost defeated when facing the First Corps. More than 3,000 Gete soldiers, who were the main force, all chose to surrender.
Amyntas easily invaded the Gete tribe.
Then all the Getes were reduced to slaves and taken away from their homeland.
In addition, the troops departing from the Crimean Peninsula also quickly arrived at the designated location.
And a week passed.
The snow in the sky became heavier and heavier.
Snowflakes fell continuously, turning the entire grassland white.
Winter has really arrived.
The seventh section of the eighth key, the rush of purple lightning
The time for the battle had arrived. The Byzantine army had already lined up on the battlefield. Those who had arrived included the Second Legion, the Third Legion, the Fourth Legion, the Fifth Legion, and the Guards and Cavalry Legion led by Hilde himself. The total number of 53,000 people had already lined up on the slope of the grassland.
"Ugh——!"
The sound of the trumpet echoed among the troops.
A solemn and murderous atmosphere permeated the entire snowy field.
The troops stood in neat rows. Even though it was snowing heavily, all the soldiers in the army were not affected by the weather. Everyone stood straight with the spears in their hands pointing straight to the sky.
The Byzantine cavalry were also lined up neatly, and all the horses were covered with eye-catching cloth, in order to keep warm and to show their identity as Byzantine cavalry. At the same time, these cavalry kept their spears, javelins and swords very clean, and wore their gladiator-style full-face helmets on their heads. Through the holes on the front of the helmets, their determined eyes were looking at the snowfield in the distance.
And Hilde was at the forefront of the army.
Now, she can be said to be the most high-spirited monarch.
She rode a white horse, covered with cloth embroidered with intricate patterns and a large piece of chain mail to protect the horse's belly and body. In addition to the exquisite armor, Hilde also made a cloak with leftover purple cloth on her back, which rustled in the strong wind on the snowy field.
Her purple eyes were looking quietly ahead.
It's almost time.
And in the sight of the camera, soon, row after row of Scythian cavalry appeared.
These cavalrymen appeared in an endless stream, forming a gray wave, slowly advancing and pressing towards Hilde's side.
The 30,000 cavalrymen from the Scythians were now heading to the battlefield under the leadership of Tomyris. The enemy they faced was the Byzantine army, which was nearly twice their number. However, the Scythian warriors were fully prepared, and all of them held their weapons tightly, staring at the Byzantine army in front of them that looked like red rocks.
The Scythian army stopped when they were about one kilometer away from the Byzantine army. Then, a path suddenly opened up among the cavalry, and a petite girl with animal ears, now riding a giant wolf as big as a horse, slowly appeared in front of the Byzantines.
The girl held a silver bow, and the leather armor and animal skins on her body were full of deadly savagery.
The Scythians raised their arms and shouted excitedly:
"Long live Tomyris--!!!"
"The Scythians will win--!!!"
And Hilde also kicked the horse's belly, driving the naked white horse forward.
The Byzantine Empire was no less powerful.
Compared to the cheers of the Scythian barbarians, the Byzantine Empire was much more orderly.
The Byzantine soldiers beat their shields, making a deafening roar. Then, they raised their spears and began to shout loudly:
“Your Majesty Hilde——!”
"Long live!!!"
“Your Majesty Hilde——!”
"Long live!!!"
Hilde held a spear in his right hand and a shield in his left hand, and slowly moved forward.
Her white horse seemed to be frightened by the giant wolf in the distance and was a little restless, but then Hilde just gently stroked it, and the horse calmed down and continued to move forward. Soon, the two came to the center of the battlefield, only a dozen meters away from each other. At this time, Hilde could see clearly the appearance of Tomyris's giant wolf.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen it.”
"Yeah, I rarely take him out because he might scare other horses."
Tomyris smiled and patted the wolf's head.
"But you, you look really handsome today."
"Thanks for the compliment. You're not a loser."
Tomyris and Hilde were like old friends meeting.
First, praise the other person.
"I won't let you down in this fight."
"I can't ask for it."
Hilde raised her spear, then looked at Tomyris's wolf.
"Get off the horse and fight alone?"
"……Row."
After all, the fight between Hilde and Tomyris would undoubtedly cause great damage to their mounts. So, the two of them dismounted immediately and drove their mounts far away. After Tomyris's giant wolf left and Hilde's white horse also disappeared, the duel that everyone was looking forward to and was particularly worried about was about to begin.
Hilde stood twenty meters away from Tomyris.
"please."
"Should I start first?"
"of course."
Hilde's voice had just fallen.
Tomyris's figure simply disappeared.
In just a breath of time, Tomyris had already pulled the bow in her hand to its full length. Three silver arrows were already on the bow and aimed at Hilde's head.
boom--!
Three arrows were shot out, directly causing a violent explosion.
The smoke and dust also directly filled the place where Hilde was.
The soldiers of the Byzantine Empire were all worried about what unexpected situations might happen.
"good."
But after the smoke cleared.
Hilde simply put down the shield in his hand and said with a smile:
"high speed."
"Tsk."
Tomyris's sudden attack was broken.
And now, Hilde also swung the spear.
"Next, it's my turn."
"bring it on--!"
Suddenly, purple electric sparks began to dance wildly on Hilde's body. These intense sparks even sublimated the snowflakes around Hilde, revealing the burnt grassland. At the same time, Tomyris had already put her arrow on the bow again. She looked up to the sky and the arrowhead suddenly separated into countless arrow rain in the air, rushing directly towards Hilde.
"drink--!!!"
The fierce thunder and lightning were like a rushing torrent.
All the arrows were shattered.
The area within a hundred-meter radius with Hilde as the center was turned into a scorched earth.
The air was filled with deadly purple lightning. The powerful pressure caused Tomyris to feel a strong fear in his heart. It was an indescribable impact. It could even be said that when facing Hilde, Tomyris could even feel that the divine power flowing in Hilde's body had almost reached the level of Apollo.
