After receiving General Carter's letter, Egil discussed with Wald the next day and led the army south at noon that day. A total of 33,000 troops were falsely claimed to be 50,000, and his combat effectiveness was the first of the British Isles. Of course, Egil was still a little worried and recruited another 2,000 mercenaries in England, so he continued to move forward. This delay was only one day. The United Kingdom of Ireland-Welsh had already received news at this time.

"It's so fast." King Arthur couldn't help but sigh when he heard the Ranger's report. According to her calculations, even if the message was delivered, it would take at least five days to pass on the message. When the other party headed south, his army would have had some rest. He would never suffer any loss when fighting. However, he did not expect that the speed of the Vikings was much faster than he had imagined.

"What method is used to deliver the message?" King Arthur pondered: "Also, after just experiencing a series of hard battles and the soldiers were exhausted, should they continue to fight? Or, to retreat temporarily?"

As soon as he thought of this, King Arthur immediately threw this idea behind his mind: "No, you must not retreat. You will retreat without fighting in a battle. This will have a great impact on morale. So, is there only a fight?"

"Hmph." Thinking of this, Her Majesty the Queen snorted, thinking quite ridiculously: "What am I afraid of? I am just a king of Norway. Although his successive battles were quite exciting, it shone like a meteor, and the final outcome would also flash like a meteor."

Let me see what is extraordinary about Egil Scadragrimsun.

Her Majesty the Queen finally made a awakening, not guarding or leaving, and was upright and head-on to catch the enemy.

The southern plains of Britain are between Nottingham and London, fifty miles away from the Thames. The troops of both sides are swaying towards each other. The coalition forces are located in the north, while the United Nations forces are located in the south. The two sides submit letters of war to each other and agree on life and death.

Egil really didn't expect that after so many battles, the queen would choose to attack head-on, but this would integrate Egil's intentions. If the other party escaped, then there would be no good idea in the vast forests of Wales. However, if that's the case... then.

Egil looked at the exquisite combat map produced by the system, his mouth curled up and showed a smile.

But don't say I'm bullying you, Her Majesty the Queen.

On that day, it was dark clouds and it was almost impossible to rain heavily. However, both sides were not children playing house or holding sports meetings. So even if it really rained, it would not be delayed. On the other hand, Egil would still thank the rain. During the heavy rain, the bowstring was weak and weak, which could limit the attack power of the opponent's long-distance archer to a certain extent. It was a very bad thing for the long-range and powerful United Kingdom.

For this reason, the mercenary leader and the commander of the longbow, Caddis, also specially contacted Her Majesty the Queen, hoping to delay the battle.

"From the newspaper, the opponent's knights are very good in terms of quantity and combat effectiveness. Therefore, when the rain passes and the road is muddy, the situation will be beneficial to us." The mercenary leader said.

Of course his advice was completely ignored by Her Majesty the Queen.

"I said that when to fight, it is necessary to fight. As for the inconvenience caused by weather, it is just inconvenience - will the opponent's cavalry be restricted in the wind and rain?"

So the battle went on as usual.

Seeing the dark clouds above his head, Egil prayed in his heart that it would rain, rain, sooner, but the rain still did not fall. Or, from a certain perspective, the rain fell. Although the material was a little different from what Egil imagined - a total of five thousand archers lined up into a strait line, occupying all the fronts of several kilometers around, and the longbowmen tried their best. It seemed that they would dare to use up all their strength before the rain.

However, this is not the first time Egil has fought with British longbowmen. Naturally, he knows how to fight. In the front of the army, the elite dwarf soldiers arranged in tortoise shell formations to prevent arrows. At the same time, other soldiers in the back row also used the recently rushing shields, which were nearly two meters in diameter, to cover their bodies, so that the damage of arrow rain could be minimized.

"Really, is it just huddled in the turtle's shell? Where did the so-called courage of the Vikings go?" King Arthur, standing on a hillside, climbed up and looked far away, said dissatisfiedly. Then, he waved his hand and ordered the longbowman to retreat, and at the same time ordered the Celtic army under his command to divide into three rows to encircle the other party.

The opponent's longbowers gradually retreated, and then a large number of Celtic tribe warriors holding a tomahawk shield, and Irish heavy swordsmen wearing heavy chain armor and Irish swordsman holding an Irish swordsman rushed over. With Egil's order, the coalition quickly turned into an attack, with crossbowmen and hired longbowmen on both sides of the wings, the super long spear formation slowly advanced, and a large number of hired spearmen lined up into a shield wall to protect the flanks. On the front, the dwarf two-handed axe warriors and Viking Death Assault Warriors were dispatched, wielding the tomahawk in their hands to charge.

As soon as the infantrymen on both sides came into contact, they immediately saw that although the power of the Irish heavy swordsman is not inferior to that of the long-handled axe warrior. The attack speed is still higher, and the composite armor of the plate chain still cannot completely prevent stabs and slashes. The Irish heavy swordsman is not at a disadvantage - however, in the confrontation of general infantry, the Celtic barbarian warrior is no match for the professional dwarves and Vikings. Under the attack of the flying axe, the professional Viking warriors of several streets must be surpassed by the opponent's professional Viking warriors, as well as the dwarf infantry and dwarf militia, advance step by step.

At the same time, because King Arthur was eager for quick success and arranged his infantry lines too long, the United Kingdom Army's array seemed a little weak. In other words, it was easier to break through than the ordinary array. Seeing the coalition advancement step by step on the front battlefield. On the flank battlefield, the super long spear array and shield wall also withstood the attack of the Celtic army without any effort under the support of the longbow and crossbow. As a barbarian race, the Celtics also uphold the usual advantages of the barbarians.

The charge is very fierce, but it is not patient. As long as you don’t break through the opponent’s array for a period of time, you will become tired. Then your morale will decrease and you may collapse.

At this moment, Egil decisively ordered that a total of 400 Frank Knights were hired to divide into two teams and circle the other side's wings. However, it was not successful and was entangled by about 500 Irish Lid Knights. After the first round of charge, the cavalry of both sides dropped their cavalry and drew out their swords to kill each other. Seeing that the Frank Knights were at a disadvantage because the number of people was slightly smaller, Egil frowned and sent the few remaining patrol cavalry and one hundred improved tomahawk cavalry. Only then did they stabilize the front and prevent the opponent's cavalry from strangling them successfully, and then attacking their own flanks.

At this moment, a drizzle had already fallen in the sky. Seeing the progress of the front line was not good, King Arthur frowned, but ordered the longbowman to shoot and help his front line soldiers. Although doing so would cause accidental injuries to his army to a greater or lesser extent, he could not take care of so much now.

Afterwards, several nobles under King Arthur led their own Knight Guards forward, shouted loudly, and cheered up their morale. In this way, the Celtic infantry array stopped and continued to retreat after receiving assistance, and the battle situation stabilized again. The soldiers on both sides stepped on the bodies and fought to death. The rain in the sky became heavier and heavier. The sky became darker and darker, and even had the illusion that it was as dark as the night. Only occasionally did a thunder bombardment, and under the dazzling white lightning, can we see the madness in the eyes of the soldiers on both sides clearly.

Egil had already taken back the monocular lens in his hand. In such weather, it would be impossible to see clearly anyway. If it weren't for the systematic prompt, Egil would not even be able to grasp how far the situation of the battle had developed.

"The power of heaven and earth is so great that mortals can be seen." Egil sighed softly, and as he saw that the army of both sides had become a mess on the system's tactical map, there were several places where the Celtic front had been broken. Even two gaps appeared on the coalition's front. However, under such circumstances, the soldiers of both sides could not accurately grasp the opportunity. Therefore, they could not use this as an opportunity to expand the victory.

However, it is enough. This heavy rain still has more benefits than disadvantages for Egil.

At this moment, above the Thames, because the river water surged and the water flowed too fast, General Carter was careful and directed the fleet to a harbor. After calculating that the place would not be stranded due to the ebb and then settled down.

"At this time... the cavalry should have arrived?"

Before the war, Egil sent his strongest cavalry unit, a total of 200 Norwegian knights, and half of them, more than 200 improved tomahawk cavalry to the banks of the Thames. After getting on the ship, he ordered the fleet to transport the cavalry directly behind the battlefield, and instructed the cavalry captain "If it rains heavily, then don't hesitate to send troops as soon as possible and attack the enemy. If it doesn't rain in the end, wait until the afternoon and attack the enemy."
