Above the small muddy ditch, red maple leaves drifted down from the woods, with fresh red blood flowing over the yellow mud.
Corpses lay half-dead on the ground, while the cries of battle from the central army continued.
The bloody stench had already spread over to the other side, yet the five brigades of the Imperial Guard and their five independent archer units still grappled with the Night Guard.
Commanding the battle were the acting commander of the Imperial Guard and the first brigade's leader, Dass.
Dass was originally an Armed Farmer from Red Mill Village, technically, he was a distant relative of His Holiness the Pope.
Truly with deep and pure roots.
But at this moment, he was lost in a state of confusion and bewilderment.
According to Jeska's instructions, they were not to advance or retreat until the central army was broken.
The first reason Jeska arranged it this way was because, frankly, the fighting capability of the Pope Guard was no match for the Night Guard.
